Original subtitles

"Looked into it"?

You mean, like, you investigated me?

No.

The Internet. Maybe you've heard of it?

Welcome to this wacky world of dating in the 21st century.

Look, Case, I'm sorry if I offended you.

But I've been through a lot.

And I have to be extremely careful about who I bring into my life.

Into Morgan's life.

Hey, look, I think we made a mistake.

I need to go.

So, what's your plan for improving the situation?

Because you got less than four weeks to turn things around.

No worries, Hugo.

Kickin' it into high gear.

This fight's in the bag.

What gear are you taking?

I'm not taking anything.

I thought I'd give my body a rest.

That's a problem.

What do you got? You bring anything?

Well, I got some Deca and some Winnie tabs.

That's bullshit.

I want you to call my guy.

All right, go see my doc, okay?

He'll get you on a course of Test Cypionate, Winstrol.

We'll throw in some Anadrol.

Should have you in beast mode by the time of the fight.

If you don't think Braga is doing the same thing,

you're a lot dumber than I thought.

Come on, champ, balls to the wall.

Give our customers and your fans a fight they'll never forget.

Do that and we'll all be making more money than you know what to do with.

All right, I'm outta here. Lay off the nuts.

Keep this between us, all right?

I don't want to hear any of Case's holier-than-thou bullshit.

Well, I can keep a secret.

And, apparently, so can he.

Okay, what?

When I stepped out to have a smoke,

I saw your boy, Case, with Myca and the nanny and her kid.

Just outside the restaurant.

All nice and cozy.

She introduced him to the kid?

Dude, I don't even know why you bother.

The freak over there probably drinks from a toilet anyway.

Hey, chill, she's a human being.

If you say so.

What's going on?

Brody wants to spar with you.

I think he's pissed about something.

Hey, Case, come over here.

Let's get a little work in today.

Don't let him get set!

Hey, man, what's your problem?

Go for the chicken wing.

Stay on him, champ!

Feet first, Brody!

Okay, that's enough!

Brody, sorry, man.

Go fuck yourself.

- Fuck. - Dude, you smoked him.

Shut up.

Yo, Case, what is it, man? What's wrong?

If you can't control yourself, you sure as hell can't control the outcome.

Damn it!

Damn it!

That's the second one of my fuckin' fighters that mock has beat up on.

- Wait... - No! Just give me a second here.

Okay.

Okay.

You're going to find out everything there is to know about Case Walker.

- Okay? - Yeah.

Complete bio, fight history, criminal record,

whatever exists about him, I want to know.

- Get back to me ASAP. - Okay.

Now.

Stop your bitchin' and go.

Faster.

Come on back up.

Two at a time!

- Two a time? - Yes!

Okay, that's one.

Hell, man, what'd I ever do to you?

You want a babysitter or a trainer?

Dude, you might be the worse sensei ever.

Not like I haven't heard that before.

Down.

What's up?

I wanted to apologize.

It was completely inappropriate for me to pry the way I did.

I realize now that privacy is underappreciated in this day and age.

It's no big deal.

Look, I had a really great time hanging out with you the other day.

And Morgan just adored you.

Case, I don't want anything from you, other than...

Just you being who you are and your good company.

That is if you're still open to sharing it.

Sometimes, I think we forget how important it is just to...

Just show up and take care of the good friendships that we have,

or might like to have.

Good friendships are hard to come by.

Ain't that the truth.

Hey, Myca.

Thank you.

Hey, Brody.

What you got there, man?

How is that any business of yours?

You hungry?

Come on, man. Let's go get some street meat.

They got this hot sauce,

they only have in every now and again, it's fucking great.

Your order?

Two orders of the chicken satay, stir fry vegetables.

No peanut sauce.

- Name? - Isaac Cox.

Okay.

What?

You know, this place could grow on me.

Yeah, me too.

For a city this crowded, it sure is peaceful.

I don't think I need to tell you,

but with this Braga fight you're gonna have to get focused

and cut out all this bullshit in your life.

At least until after the fight.

You need to pick apart his flaws

and plan a strategy that he can't help but fall into.

Brody?

Brody.

Come on, man. Do you not want this anymore?

If you don't, it's okay, man.

Just be honest with yourself.

I want this fight, Case. I do.

But it's not just about what I want anymore.

There's a lot of moving pieces in this whole operation now.

There's people with families depending on me.

I get hurt, there's no insurance that's going to cover me.

And you got the media bullshit.

Not to mention the political bullshit. It never ends.

One thing I envy about you is, your life is simple.

Come and go as you please.

Got no wife, no kids.

Basically nobody to own up to.

Just you.

What you trying to say, my grass is greener?

Man, I don't even have grass.

I basically live in a van down by the river.

Yeah, that's true.

Your life really does suck.

You know, we need to schedule some time for you to go fuck yourself, okay.

Done.

I'm all in, Case.

I'm 100% committed to this fight.

That's good to hear.

Now, show me.

Better yet, show yourself.

All right.

I gotta say something though.

I gotta apologize for...

Well, how I acted the other day.

I deserved that ass whooping, man.

My ego's just so used to me getting whatever I want,

however I wanted it...

When I heard about the you and Myca thing,

I lost it.

I started acting like a spoiled brat.

Man, that's behind us, man.

Okay?

You were ragin'.

That's why you were making so many mistakes.

You know what I say...

- "An angry mind is a narrow mind." - That's right.

And for your information,

there is no "me and Myca thing."

If you had half a brain, there would be.

That's a good woman, right there.

Man, she saw through all my bullshit from day one.

That's why she keeps rejecting me.

Besides, I'm married.

You remember that?

That's good!

Yeah, you are, brother.

Yeah.

I'm gonna make that right, too. Just watch.

You're looking at the new, improved and totally serious Brody James.

Isaac Cox.

Isaac Cox!

There it is.

What do you think?

Not bad.

Hey, Matty!

Get over here.

Come on.

This shit has gone on long enough between you two.

All right, I realize you both come from different backgrounds and all that

and I know you both got your own ideas about how this gym should be ran,

but fact of the matter is, you're both here for the same reason.

That's to make better fighters. Am I right?

- Yeah. - Yeah.

I think this gym is big enough for all of our egos.

So, let's put this shit to bed.

I ain't got no problem with that.

Come on, Matty, take the man's goddamn hand, all right?

Don't make me have to fire your ass.

See, that's not so bad, right?

Now, maybe we can get some real work done.

An angry mind.

You need to take advantage of that.

How much is this insurance costing me?

Believe me, Brody, it's worth it.

Besides, you're making enough money to afford it.

Yeah, man. Plus, you got kids. What if something happens to you?

You could lose everything off one major injury.

What if I don't pass the physical?

Don't be ridiculous, you're healthy as a horse.

All right.

What if something I'd taken in the past shows up in my blood work?

They disqualify me?

Whatever you might have taken before you came to Thailand

won't still be in your system.

Don't worry about it.

Hey, I'd really like to thank you.

For what?

Well, you said some things I really needed to hear.

And I'd like to show my appreciation if you'd let me.

Well, I appreciate your appreciation, Mr. Walker.

So what do you have in mind?

A Louie Thai do-over.

I'd like that. Done.

Come on, Creech!

Come on, Creech!

That's all right, bro.

You just didn't have it today, that's all.

His fucking style, man, it's just throwing me off.

I can tell.

Dude. If it's styles that win fights, I just gotta learn how...

No flinch. Block only what comes close.

You know, Brady's really lucky to have you as a friend.

Loyalty is rare these days.

Well, I consider my friends family.

Where is your family, Case?

I mean, if you don't mind me asking. I know now you are about your privacy.

Okay, stop.

First, let me apologize about the other evening.

I'm way out of practice with this whole dating thing.

But I'd really like to get to know you better,

so listen, you can ask me anything from now on, okay?

- Okay. - Okay.

So, is there a Mrs. Case? Any little Cases running around?

No mini-Cases.

I thought there'd be a Mrs. Case one time.

But turned out she was already married.

- Yeah. - That must've hurt.

What was up with that?

Well, there are these women who fixate on romancing inmates.

There's a name for them, but I forget.

But once the inmate gets released, then the fantasy's over.

How long ago was that?

Seven years ago.

Well, I believe seven's a very lucky number.

- You do, do you? - Yeah, I do.

Case, I think things are really gonna start turning around for you.

Think so?

I think so.

So here's my place.

Thank you.

So, I hope I didn't have you out too late.

It must be just about the time to tuck little Morgan into bed?

Morgan spending the night with Boonkie tonight,

so, I don't have a curfew.

So, I guess you have to get up pretty early to train?

Yeah, yeah. I got to get up pretty early to train Brody.

And, you know, work out.

Well, I had a really great time tonight.

- Yeah, me, too. Me, too. - Thank you.

Yeah.

Good night.

Bye.

Bye.

You froze again, didn't you?

"No, Myca, I don't have to wake up early. I don't have to train."

"All I have to look forward to is going back

to my room and talking to my-goddamn-self."

You are an idiot.

All you had to do was say,

"Well, Myca, since you don't have a curfew, I would like to spend more time with you.

"Since we happen to be in front of your condo..."

You'd think I'd get it.

You'd think my dumb ass would get it.

But no...

Fucking stupid...

Who is it?

What?

Mr. Vega has been hearing a lot of good things about you lately.

Some very, very good things.

And I care, why?

This.

What's that?

It's a contract.

It's your contract to fight for the PFC.

And where's Vega?

Don't flatter yourself. Mr. Vega is a very busy man.

You must be out of your mind.

You know what, those work fine. But these are too basic. It's too clean.

If you haven't noticed, it's Caesar Braga. B-R-A-G-A. It says here, "Barga."

"Barga," not the name. Not the name.

These... I'm gonna have to re-do all of these, guys.

No, it's Braga, like that. Not Barga like...

Mr. Vega?

Excuse me, Mr. Vega.

Yeah, who the hell are you?

Well, I'm Eddie, but everyone just calls me Creech.

All right, how can I help you?

Mr. Walker wanted me to deliver this to you.

- Mr. Walker. - Yes, sir.

All right...

Yeah? Can I help you?

Well, I was just kind of wondering here...

No. No. No.

Whatever you're thinking, no. Okay? Please, we're kind of busy here.

Okay, but you know it says "Barga"?

Okay, no, please, just get out of here! Please!

This is what I'm talking about here. Okay, even a fucking...

You gotta look at it. Look at it.

Excuse me a second.

What the fuck?

The balls on this guy.

Who the fuck does he think he is?

Did you find out? Did you dig up anything?

- I'm working on it. I'm working on it. - Well, work a little harder. Okay?

I don't care if you have to dig up the whole fucking Internet.

Find something. Bring it back. Don't come back until you do.

Go. Go. Go. Go.

What is it with you and Vega anyways?

What he's done to the sport is a travesty, man.

It's what he represents.

What? And you're so pure?

What's wrong with doing it clean? That's the way it started, right?

Everybody's got their price, Case.

Tell me, there's not some number out there

to convince you to bend the rules, just a little.

What does it benefit a man if he gains the world,

but loses his soul, right?

You get that shit off a fortune cookie?

Come on, let's pick this shit up.

Hey!

What are you guys watching?

Case, this is some wicked shit.

Where the hell did you find that?

Showed up yesterday on Worldstar. Then it just exploded.

Now it's everywhere.

That happened years ago, I was framed.

How the hell did you not end up under the jail for this shit?

Long story.

Felon in possession of a firearm. That's five years mandatory.

You planted that gun.

What'd you say, you piece of shit?

I ain't gotta plant no gun to get rid of your black ass.

You done lost your manners, boy.

Hold his ass.

Fuck!

I said hold his ass still!

Like I said, long story.

One that's better forgotten.

Are you fucking kidding me?

Our pay-per-view numbers should be twice this by now.

- We don't turn this around, I'm fucked. - Wanna get Myca on the line?

No, she's been flogging this bout everywhere she can.

I've thrown more money into this thing than in my last five fights

and still I can't move the fucking needle.

Fans just don't wanna see this fight, simple as that.

Fans don't wanna see Brody James fight, that's the problem.

He's done. He's over, he's yesterday's news.

I hear he's looking a lot better, boss.

It's too little. Too late.

Now, Case Walker...

It's different story with that Internet cop thing.

- What if... - What are you thinking?

- Mr. Case? - Mr. Case!

What?

Mr. Walker, your video has exploded.

Do you think its popularity is a symbolic response

to police brutality in your country?

No comment. Now could you people move back, please.

Just answer that, please.

You have seen the video, right?

Okay, back up... Back up. Back up.

All right, everyone, I'm Myca Cruz, Mr. Walker's publicist.

He will not be answering any questions or conducting interviews at this time.

Any media requests can go through my office, and my office only.

- Come on! - Please. Please.

Come in.

So, what do you think?

This is really nice. But whose is it?

No strings attached, Case.

It's Vega's way of showing his appreciation for everything you've done for Brody.

Twenty-four-hour security guards.

No one's getting in here without your permission.

Or Vega's.

He's trying to help.

Look, I'm just around the corner if you need me.

I'm sure your services don't come cheap.

Case, I'm trying to help as a friend, if that's okay with you.

Well, okay. I'll go get my stuff.

Thank you.

Hey, Matty, who's this guy?

Sambo guy, supposed to help Brody with his leg locks.

Used to fight in Pride.

Did you send for him?

No, he's local.

What's the matter?

He just pops up outta nowhere

and he's working with a number one contender?

Now you know how I felt when you walked in.

Come on, man,

what's a Russian Sambo specialist doing in Bangkok?

And he just happens to come to this gym?

Come on, man, something doesn't fit.

Yeah, not like a 250-pound black karate guy.

Hey, guys, take it down a notch, come on you got one week before the fight, Brody.

I'm only 230.

You look 260...

Shit!

What the hell happened?

I had him in a heel-hook and he spun the wrong way.

What?

Fuck, it was an accident, Brody moved.

Shit! Somebody get some ice!

Hey, how's it going?

We're waiting for the nurse to come back with his release papers.

He won't need surgery,

but he's gonna be out for the next eight to 12 weeks at least.

God.

I gotta call Hugo.

Champ, I'm so sorry. You'll bounce back.

We'll reschedule your fight.

Vega needs this fight more than I do. He's not going to reschedule it.

Now, I gotta fuckin' pay for re-hab. I'm gonna lose my house.

No, Brody, you forgot. You have insurance now.

The hell I do.

I'm not gonna qualify, Case.

Well, why not?

Because I've been taking steroids, all right? The whole time.

I've been on them since the beginning of the camp.

How do you think I got in shape so quick?

You mean these steroids?

Well, see these...

These are just crushed up baby aspirin.

And these, saline solution with a little food coloring.

You know, Matty, you need to change those locks

'cause they're a little too easy to break.

Yeah, he switched them out a long time ago.

You knew about this?

Yeah, he told me a couple weeks ago.

But, it was actually kind of funny watching you get stronger,

thinking all the while it was some kind of drug.

You believed it, so you achieved it. All the while it was just you.

Motherfucker.

Thanks, man, I owe you one.

- Case. You mind if we come in? - Hey, it's your place.

All right, look at you.

What's this?

Getting my stuff together.

Wait a minute, somebody told him he had to move out?

No, nobody said anything.

But with Brody out of commission, and the fight off...

Yeah, Brody may be done,

but this fight's going to happen.

Really? Who's fighting Braga?

You are.

- What's this? - Go on, open it.

You're getting a million dollars. How does that feel?

Are you serious?

Dead serious.

Half now and half after the fight. Just like you stipulated in your contract.

See, I'm a businessman

and you, my friend, are in business.

What do you say, my brother?

You wanted a shot.

That's your shot.

This is a whole lot of money.

Yes, it is.

Breaking news in the Brody James-Caesar Braga

PFC 14 Battle in Bangkok.

James is out after suffering a knee injury in training.

Replacing him will be veteran fighter Case Walker who shot back into the spotlight

with a video of him destroying four cops while handcuffed went viral weeks ago.

With less than a week to prepare,

Walker's unlikely victory against four armed policemen

might not be as tough as going up against the seven-foot,

350 pound, undefeated "Psycho" Caesar Braga,

who's said to be the most dangerous man in all of MMA.

That's a lot of adulation for my stand-in.

Why don't you come say hi?

Hey, hey, Brittany. Hey, BJ. Davy. Man, you guys got big.

Hey, Case. Congrats on the fight.

I'm actually relieved that Brady's not fighting that animal.

Well, I'm just relieved that I have his consent.

You have my consent if you go out there and whip his ass.

Now, go get in the ring before I do something nasty with these crutches.

Well, you heard him, all right. Bye, James gang.

Bye.

See ya.

Two. Two-kick.

Nice. Now move out on a '45, now.

Three.

Still feels strange.

Yeah, I know, but don't worry about it, this shit happens all the time.

Plus, it's giving me a nice chance to scout you out

before you go and get that belt off of Braga.

I'm coming for that belt, you know.

Two.

Two. Two-kick. Time.

Nah, he just got done hitting mitts. All right, I'll get him over here.

Hey, Case, come here real quick.

Yo, Case, let me holla at you man!

Why in the fuck are you running around pretending to be me?

Man, you got me lit up! Arrested.

I go to the motherfuckin' jail' house!

And both my chicks are there, my baby mama and my side chick!

You done got me arrested and fucked up my sex life!

I'm gonna fuck you up, man!

I'm gonna kick you dead in the motherfuckin'...

Yeah, real funny.

The man seems mad.

I'll get you back. You know what's up.

Hey, Taj.

So, what's been wrong with you today?

- Yeah, you don't want to know. - Try me.

You said you didn't want to fight for Vega.

Then Brody gets hurt and you take his place.

Yeah, what about it?

You said you didn't want to fight for Vega.

Hey, man, I understand.

For a mill, I'd change my principals, too.

What does he know, he's just a kid, right?

A kid who really looks up to you.

Besides, you're the one who said you wouldn't fight for Vega.

Yeah, but, I mean, these are my terms.

Yeah, your terms.

But I will promise you this.

Hugo Vega pulls strings at many different levels.

He needs big numbers on this fight or he loses everything.

What's that got to do with me?

Case, don't you realize you're the reason for the big numbers.

I mean last week alone your police video got 20 million hits on the Internet.

You can't buy publicity like that.

Brody getting hurt was the best thing that could have ever happened to Hugo Vega.

Why would you want to practice leg locks with that guy after what happened to Brody?

There's something I want to learn.

Hey, do me a favor, keep him busy.

- So, Case, are you ready to warm up? - How much did he pay you?

What? Who?

Vega. How much he pay you to take out Brady's leg?

Get the fuck outta here. It was an accident.

I had Brody in a heel-lock and he spun the wrong way.

You're a fuckin' liar.

What the fuck you doing' with my phone?

You sent a two-word text, 10 minutes after your session with Brody.

"It's done."

You fuckin' serious? Put your hands down.

I'm definitely not going to the cops with this.

Vega's the one that needs to suffer.

Way I see it,

the way we beat Vega is by Case beating his man.

That's how we hurt him.

Exactly. And after you defeat Braga,

sign with a different promoter.

You'd be the champ then, you call the shots.

But then Vega still makes a shitload of money

and gets away with what he did to Brody.

I could just walk away and not fight.

Yeah, that would screw him royally.

But then you'd be out of the other half-million you get after the fight.

Plus, he'd sue you.

Come on, Case, beat Braga.

What? Win the battle, not the war?

Look, sometimes you gotta just take half a victory.

Compromise a little.

Not real good at that.

But learning.

What he did to Brody, use it as incentive.

Fuel to the fire.

What do you want to do, Case?

Looks like he finally made his decision.

It's the right way to go.

Assuming, that is, he can actually beat Braga.

All right, that big ol' monster starts moving forward.

I'm on my bicycle.

There you go, there you go. He plants his feet, he's looking to throw.

Kick the legs.

Nice.

All right. Takes you down. Takes 'em out.

I'm screwed.

That's true.

All right, look, we get there. TK Scissors...

He takes them out, TK Scissors, slip out the back.

Got it, Coach.

That's fantastic, great. All right.

We're almost at 400,000 buy-ins U.S.

Okay? Fully expect to hit it before the fight starts.

At $69 per, that is almost $30 million.

Yes! See, that's what I'm talking about.

You see, by sidelining the has-been Brody James,

and replacing him with the Internet Ram-Bro...

I mean, come on, that puts us back in the black, Jack.

Let's go make some money.

Hugo. I quit.

You quit? Now?

Oh, my God, it's you.

The name's JeeJa.

But at the gym... I mean, why do you look so...

Well, you know.

If I came to the gym looking like this, do you think the guys would let me workout?

Yeah, I guess you're right.

Oh, my God.

Tony Jaa!

Tony, this way. Look here! Look here!

Tony, over here.

Look at that!

Come on.

I'm big fan. I'm big fan. Let me take picture. Okay? Like this.

He thinks I'm Rampage Jackson, doesn't he?

No. He thinks you're Cuba Gooding Jr. He really likes Snow Dogs.

Big fan, man.

Strong.

I have just one question.

Care to share?

They're going to be coming to get us in about 20 minutes to take us to the ring.

You need to start warming up.

Come on, let the man wrap your hands.

I don't need it, Brody.

This is more of your karate shit?

Look, it's for your protection, let him wrap 'em.

You're as stubborn as my wife. Jesus.

What?

What's wrong?

Where you going?

Hey, Psycho!

"Psycho" Caesar Braga!

Braga, get your ass out here!

Hey! Got one question for you! One question!

There you are. Hey, hey, hey!

- I got one question. One question... - Fuck you! I answer in the ring!

Come on. Come on. One question.

Hold on here, what's going on here? Save this for the paying customers, all right?

- Get Caesar out of here. - It's just one question.

- Stop it! - What? What?

No, no. One question, Braga.

Hey. Listen.

Don't try anything stupid, Walker.

Or I'll toss you into the gutter you crawled out of.

We know what you did to Brody. You're getting payback tonight.

Hey, Psycho! Hey!

Hey, Psycho! Hey!

Braga! Hey, Braga, just one question. Just one question.

What's your problem?

Hey, man, if you're so tough,

Why'd it take you two punches to knock your wife out?

Stop it! Stop it!

Come on, get up! Come on, get up!

Yes! Yes!

No!

Yes! Yes!

Go! Yes!

No!

No! No!

Come on! Get up!

Get up!

Go, baby! Go, baby!

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

- Hey. Are you okay? - Yeah.

Nice.

Breach of fucking contract. That's right!

You are so sued, okay? I'm going to bury you when this is done.

- Are you finished? - No, I'm just starting.

Good luck fighting your criminal charges for getting Boris to take out Brady's leg.

Yeah, we got your payment transaction as well as your phone records. Don't we?

Yes, we do.

No. What are you talking about?

Yeah, I'm thinking an extra million would be good for Brody and his family.

That's unless you want him to sue you for punitive damages,

which will cost you more like $5 million when he's done.

No, no, no. Wait, wait, wait. Just wait.

Let's just talk about this because... What?

- Every dollar boss. - What?

We have to refund every fucking dollar!

- Everything! - Excuse us.

Looks like I'm out of a job.

Well, I could always use a good corner man.

No place I'd rather be.

- Pupils! - You did it!

Respect to the sensei.

Very impressive.

Long way from Beaumont, huh?

Paradise, man.

You did it your way, just like you said. Clean. It's a game-changer.

- Believe it... - You can achieve it.

There it is.

Let's get the hell out of here, all right?
