00:04:10Spencers ready?
00:04:15Allez!
00:04:34Ready?
00:04:35Allez!
00:04:41Oh!
00:04:46All right.
00:04:47As a warning, yellow card.
00:05:10Ready?
00:05:11All right.
00:05:40Somebody get a doctor!
00:06:11Hey.
00:06:14Hey.
00:06:15How you doing?
00:06:17How do you think?
00:06:18Did you know him?
00:06:20Only in competition.
00:06:23He was one of the best.
00:06:25What happened was an accident.
00:06:27It wasn't your fault.
00:06:28No one blames you.
00:06:29And that's supposed to make me feel better?
00:06:31Maybe not now, but before you start blaming yourself.
00:06:34It took a lot of courage for you to come out here today.
00:06:37And I was hoping you would so I could say something.
00:06:40Sorry if I said too much.
00:07:08Did I ever tell you what Gaishi did with a pair of these?
00:07:11Gaishi?
00:07:12Friend of yours?
00:07:13No.
00:07:14Gaishi was the greatest swordsman who ever lived.
00:07:16Sort of a freelance samurai.
00:07:19Anyway, Gaishi was once hired by this village to protect them from nine bandits who were always bothering him.
00:07:25So the first thing he does when he gets to this village, he goes to the nearest Japanese restaurant.
00:07:29He lays his sword on the counter and he orders a bowl of rice.
00:07:33And in walk the nine bandits.
00:07:36And they surround him.
00:07:38Without saying a word, Gaishi takes the chopsticks and goes...
00:07:46And he swats down nine flies.
00:07:49So he finishes eating, sets down his bowl, and he looks around.
00:07:54Nine bandits are gone.
00:07:56And no one ever saw them again.
00:07:59And no one ever saw them again.
00:08:03So is there any moral to that story?
00:08:08I guess once you know you're the best, you don't have to prove you're the best anymore.
00:08:13Or kill anyone.
00:08:17Find out you are the best, Alex.
00:08:20You owe that to yourself.
00:08:22Talk to Richard and get back into competition.
00:08:25Yeah, I guess you're right.
00:08:27Okay, I will.
00:08:28You should have called first. Right now is not exactly a good time.
00:08:32Yeah, but I work here.
00:08:34I've already talked to several experts about this.
00:08:39Richard, look, I'm going to be fine.
00:08:42Once people stop asking me how I feel while looking at me like I was...
00:08:46You need some time off.
00:08:48Look, I need this job.
00:08:50I want to be ready for the next competition.
00:08:52I need to do something or I will go crazy.
00:08:55Look, I got the school to think about, too.
00:08:58Our insurance is up for renewal.
00:08:59Oh, yeah, and it's hard to get coverage when you employ a psycho killer, right?
00:09:02Alex, I didn't say that.
00:09:04Maybe it just comes down to saving your own goddamn reputation for coaching one.
00:09:07I think maybe we better go in the office.
00:09:09Why bother?
00:09:10You can fire me right here.
00:09:14Alex!
00:09:15Come back here!
00:09:25Alex?
00:09:30Alex? Where are you?
00:09:32I rang the front doorbell, but no one even came to hear me.
00:09:35You know...
00:09:37Alex?
00:09:43What are you doing?
00:09:45I thought we were making dinner, you know, to celebrate.
00:09:50There's nothing to celebrate.
00:09:53What do you mean? Didn't you talk to Richard?
00:09:55Yeah, I talked to him.
00:09:57Well, what did he say? What happened?
00:10:00He quit.
00:10:04I was fired.
00:10:06I walked out. I don't know.
00:10:08Alex, why?
00:10:09Because it's over.
00:10:12He doesn't want me back.
00:10:13Well, did he say that?
00:10:15It's finished. That's it.
00:10:17Look, I don't know what happened today, but you're not finished.
00:10:20We could talk to my coach.
00:10:22Listen, I really don't need you feeling sorry for me right now.
00:10:26You know you're doing just fine by yourself.
00:10:28And I can take care of my own problems and my own life without you.
00:10:33Well, you could start by making your own dinner.
00:10:51Ow!
00:10:58Hey, bitch!
00:11:00No, no.
00:11:01You getting entertained by the fight?
00:11:03That's all you got, huh?
00:11:08Okay, fucker, you wanna fight?
00:11:21Fuck.
00:11:34Is this a private altercation?
00:11:36Or do you allow spectators?
00:11:38Get the fuck back in your car, old man.
00:11:40Please, don't let me interrupt.
00:11:42Watch you pick up a knife.
00:11:43So have I.
00:11:46Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:11:47Hey, man.
00:11:50Hey.
00:11:55He who fights and runs away lives to fight another day.
00:11:58But it's usually best to face one's destiny.
00:12:02Don't you agree?
00:12:04You know, I guess I'm supposed to thank you for saving my life, but...
00:12:10I think it'd be best if you told me why you've been following me.
00:12:14Well, Alex, I've been following you for most of your career.
00:12:16I've always enjoyed watching you fight.
00:12:18That incident at the national finals over there was just an unfortunate accident.
00:12:23Who are you?
00:12:24Someone who wants to help you.
00:12:26Yeah, what makes you think I need your help?
00:12:28Oh, aside from just now.
00:12:30Alex, I've seen what you can do, and I know what you're capable of doing.
00:12:33Yeah, what is that supposed to mean?
00:12:35Only that you're the best.
00:12:36Or you would have been, if your chance to prove it hadn't been aborted.
00:12:40I can give you that chance.
00:12:43Yeah. How?
00:12:46I have an establishment, a fencing site.
00:12:48I produce swordfighting exhibitions for some very rich and very special people.
00:12:52My fighters are well paid and very well trained.
00:12:55I'd like you to join them. Become one of the best.
00:13:01Yeah, well, I appreciate the offer, but I already got a coach and a job.
00:13:05Not at the moment, Alex.
00:13:07And I'd say that your current and future standing with the traditional swordfighting
00:13:10establishment appears problematic at best.
00:13:15I think you followed the wrong guy.
00:13:16Alex, I think it's time for you to follow your destiny.
00:13:19Yeah.
00:13:24Bring a steel. What's that?
00:13:25My club. Why don't you visit us tomorrow night?
00:13:28Bring your girlfriend, Elena. I think you'll find it very diverting.
00:13:37Hey!
00:13:38Hey! You didn't tell me your name!
00:14:08Elena.
00:14:14Elena.
00:14:16What are you doing here?
00:14:18I came back.
00:14:19I ate to waste food.
00:14:23Listen, I'm really sorry about tonight.
00:14:27Oh, my God. You're hurt.
00:14:30It's nothing.
00:14:31What happened?
00:14:33I'll tell you later.
00:14:35Do you want me to heat up dinner?
00:14:39Why are you doing all this?
00:14:43Isn't it obvious?
00:15:04I'm sorry.
00:15:34I'm sorry.
00:16:04I'm sorry.
00:16:35What time is it?
00:16:37It's about eight.
00:16:39Oh, we gotta go?
00:16:43Late for work?
00:16:45Oh, geez.
00:16:46Here.
00:16:52You know, marketing is late for everybody's meeting.
00:16:54But if you're late for one of theirs, forget it.
00:16:58It's a nice day outside.
00:17:00You know, you really should get an alarm clock.
00:17:03Okay, you're good.
00:17:05Hi.
00:17:06Hey.
00:17:08You'll never believe what happened last night.
00:17:11No, I don't.
00:17:13No, I don't mean...
00:17:15Wait a second. You're not sorry, are you, about this?
00:17:20I mean, okay, maybe it happened a little fast.
00:17:22But, you know, I didn't exactly anticipate it was gonna...
00:17:25You didn't see me twitch, did you?
00:17:32Say, what are you doing today?
00:17:48Where are we?
00:17:50I don't know.
00:17:52Here's your dress.
00:18:02Thanks.
00:18:20Yeah.
00:18:21What is it?
00:18:22Uh, my name's Alex Fryer.
00:18:27I was given this card.
00:18:32Thanks.
00:18:39Please, go right in.
00:18:41I'll let him know you're here.
00:18:42Thanks.
00:18:58This is a fencing salve?
00:19:02Yeah.
00:19:33Alex, glad you could make it.
00:19:35Elena, welcome.
00:19:37Lucky to meet my club manager.
00:19:39This is Tonya.
00:19:45Tonya, Alex and Elena.
00:19:48Hello, Alex.
00:19:52Heard so much about you, I feel like I already know you.
00:19:54How do you do, Elena?
00:19:56Fine.
00:20:00Alex, Elena, let me show you the rest of my club.
00:20:02Follow me.
00:20:05We hope to persuade Alex to join our little fighting salve this evening.
00:20:08Fighting or fencing?
00:20:10Oh, fencing. That's such an artificial distinction, don't you agree?
00:20:13It obscures the original purpose of the sport.
00:20:15Fencers.
00:20:17Fencing.
00:20:19Fencing.
00:20:20It obscures the original purpose of the sport.
00:20:22Fencers.
00:20:24Fighters.
00:20:26I prefer fighters.
00:20:27Here we go.
00:20:42Cute dress.
00:20:44Thanks.
00:20:51Thanks, Rock.
00:20:53Straight ahead to your left.
00:20:59Welcome to my salve.
00:21:21Welcome to my salve.
00:21:47This is the ring of steel.
00:21:50This is the ring of steel.
00:22:07But they're not wearing any protection.
00:22:09Their choice.
00:22:18That's Jack.
00:22:21Our club champion.
00:22:23He's very good.
00:22:24So far, he's the best.
00:22:26I think Alex could do better.
00:22:39Alex?
00:22:51Johnny!
00:22:58Alex.
00:23:01Johnny!
00:23:02Johnny?
00:23:04No!
00:23:20No!
00:23:46Hey, Jack does get carried away sometimes.
00:23:48I'd reason with him if there's anything to reason with.
00:23:51But you're different, Alex.
00:23:52You're smart.
00:23:53That's why I want you to come work for me.
00:23:55Is that legal?
00:23:56Strictly speaking, no.
00:23:57But a few sporting wages on the side
00:23:59helps make an elite sport like ours commercially viable.
00:24:02See, our fighters are very well paid.
00:24:04They get the best of everything.
00:24:06Let me introduce you to them.
00:24:07Show them the rest of our facilities.
00:24:08I'd like to go home.
00:24:10Now.
00:24:11Well, Elena, at least allow me to buy you a drink.
00:24:19The next bell will begin in two minutes.
00:24:21Please place your final bets now.
00:24:26I'm sure they'll be back in a moment.
00:24:31Gentlemen, I can meet someone.
00:24:33This is Alex Fryer, a champion fencer.
00:24:35Alex, this is Brian.
00:24:36Hey, how's it going?
00:24:37Chuck.
00:24:38Hey, Jack.
00:24:39Chris.
00:24:40Hey.
00:24:41And over here, we have our schlager duelist.
00:24:43This is Hans.
00:24:44How do you do?
00:24:45Hans just arrived from Heidelberg
00:24:46seeking fame and fortune in America.
00:24:48His specialty is the, um...
00:24:49Saber.
00:24:50Saber.
00:24:51Hey, that's one of yours too, isn't it?
00:24:52Yeah.
00:24:53See, my problem is I can't find anyone
00:24:54with the discipline or the classical training
00:24:56to match Hans.
00:24:58How much classical training do you need
00:25:00to slice bologna?
00:25:01See what I mean?
00:25:02That's Tony.
00:25:03You saw him fighting earlier.
00:25:04See, we take good care of our wounded.
00:25:07Hey, Alex.
00:25:08How you doing?
00:25:09Good, good.
00:25:10Fight looked really good.
00:25:11Ah, it's nothing.
00:25:12It looks like you really get hurt out there.
00:25:15You ever see a hockey game?
00:25:16That's nothing.
00:25:17Check this out.
00:25:18Oh, Tony.
00:25:19Nice shot, man.
00:25:20Look at this one.
00:25:21I get two.
00:25:22Just check it out.
00:25:23Yeah, that only proves you suck here.
00:25:24Hey.
00:25:25Look at this.
00:25:26Uh, this is Jack.
00:25:27We also saw fighting earlier.
00:25:28Jack.
00:25:29Alex Fryer.
00:25:33You're the loudmouthed asshole
00:25:34who interrupted my show.
00:25:36Good fight tonight, Jack.
00:25:37Good work.
00:25:40Yeah.
00:25:42Hmm.
00:25:44So, Alex.
00:25:45Your defense?
00:25:46I had an idea.
00:25:47We have all the equipment.
00:25:48Maybe you could give Hans a workout.
00:25:49Yeah.
00:25:50What do you say?
00:25:51Show us what you can do
00:25:52against classical training.
00:25:53What do you got to lose?
00:25:54Come on, give him a chance.
00:25:57Come on, Alex.
00:25:58I took a cab.
00:25:59Maybe you should tell him yourself.
00:26:12There is no scoring for conventional touches.
00:26:15You fight until one of you yields.
00:26:17Now, remember, gentlemen,
00:26:18this is entertainment.
00:26:21Fighters, ready?
00:26:29My God, Alex.
00:26:35Alex!
00:26:41Alex!
00:26:44Alex!
00:26:51Come on!
00:26:57Step back!
00:26:58Step back!
00:27:12Get up!
00:27:36Stop them!
00:27:38Don't you understand?
00:27:40Alex needs this fight.
00:28:02You concede.
00:28:05You concede.
00:28:10Goodbye, Hans.
00:28:13Alex.
00:28:23For a moment there, I thought...
00:28:24I was afraid he didn't understand you.
00:28:26What a big head.
00:28:39Alex!
00:29:05Goldilocks, not bad.
00:29:10I'm leaking money.
00:29:12Well, at least it's not blood.
00:29:14Let it go.
00:29:15It's not legal anyway.
00:29:16Yes, it is.
00:29:17They gave it to me.
00:29:19I didn't bet any.
00:29:20But then again,
00:29:21you didn't bet any on me either.
00:29:23Well, I don't think
00:29:24you needed any more encouragement.
00:29:26I need yours.
00:29:28You gave me more than anyone.
00:29:30I couldn't have gotten through everything.
00:29:32I couldn't have done this without you.
00:29:35Okay, but...
00:29:37Okay, but...
00:29:39Let's not come back here again, okay?
00:29:42Well...
00:29:44You offered me a job.
00:29:45A job?
00:29:46Alex, what kind of a...
00:29:48You're not going to go back here again, are you?
00:29:51Of course I am.
00:29:52I'm going to be the best.
00:29:53Look,
00:29:54we just made up in the last 24 hours
00:29:56and I'm not ready for another fight, okay?
00:29:59Let's see how you feel tomorrow
00:30:00and we'll think of something.
00:30:03Want to know what I'm thinking right now?
00:30:04Got into you, Mr. Macho Swordfighter.
00:30:07I am the pirate.
00:30:10I always wanted to be a pirate.
00:30:13Oh!
00:30:14Whoa!
00:30:17You're touching me.
00:30:18You're touching me.
00:30:20What are you doing?
00:30:22Put me down.
00:30:23I winch.
00:30:24Prepare to be boarded.
00:30:26Put me down.
00:30:35No!
00:30:53Gentlemen!
00:30:56Meet the senior class.
00:30:58These men are champions
00:30:59inside the Ring of Steel.
00:31:01They will be your instructors.
00:31:02They will teach you how to fight
00:31:03as if you're a life-dependent opponent.
00:31:05They will teach you to take advantage
00:31:06of your opponent's mistakes.
00:31:08They will teach you to avoid mistakes.
00:31:11And gentlemen,
00:31:12if you do not learn
00:31:13what they have to teach you here,
00:31:14I can guarantee you
00:31:15a much harder lesson
00:31:16inside the Ring of Steel.
00:31:18Now, there are a few rules.
00:31:20Now, number one,
00:31:21I decide who fights who and when.
00:31:24Number two,
00:31:25there is no fighting
00:31:26outside the Ring of Steel ever.
00:31:28And number three,
00:31:29inside the Ring of Steel,
00:31:31there are no rules.
00:31:33And only one objective,
00:31:34to win.
00:31:36That means there are no personal fouls,
00:31:38there are no technical infractions,
00:31:40and there are no accidents
00:31:41inside the Ring of Steel.
00:31:44Now, if anybody has a problem
00:31:45with any of this,
00:31:46they should leave now.
00:31:48Excuse me?
00:31:49Yes?
00:31:50What was the question again?
00:31:54Great, another escapee
00:31:55from Wizards and Warriors.
00:31:56What's your name?
00:31:57I am Traybor,
00:31:58of the clan of Ravenhurst
00:31:59from the Shire of Pasadena,
00:32:01a chaotic evil barbarian.
00:32:03I see.
00:32:05Mr. Traybor,
00:32:07are you aware of the difference
00:32:08between fantasy role-playing
00:32:09and what we do here?
00:32:13Weren't you issued
00:32:14a practice weapon?
00:32:15I have sworn
00:32:16never to let Stormbringer
00:32:17leave my side.
00:32:19I see, I'll make it quick.
00:32:20Jack.
00:32:22Brian.
00:32:23Stand aside, sire.
00:32:24I shall dispatch
00:32:25this villain for thee.
00:32:27Traybor, you defiler
00:32:28of small furry woodland creatures,
00:32:30I am for you.
00:32:33Don't hurt him, Traybor.
00:32:36Hey, don't move.
00:32:41Oh no, where's the sword?
00:33:01Oh, very nice, very nice.
00:33:05Oh, yeah.
00:33:06Well, go ahead and laugh.
00:33:07You'll all be laughing
00:33:08out of the other side of your faces
00:33:09when I tell the cops
00:33:10what really goes on
00:33:11in this fucking place.
00:33:12Jack.
00:33:31Stop!
00:33:37Stop!
00:33:45That's enough.
00:33:47You want some of this?
00:33:51What were you gonna do, kill him?
00:33:52Alex, welcome to the class.
00:33:54You're just in time
00:33:55for your first lesson.
00:33:58I've seen enough.
00:34:00I'm leaving.
00:34:02You're not going anywhere, asshole.
00:34:04Jack is an effective,
00:34:06if somewhat overenthusiastic teacher.
00:34:08Fuck this bullshit.
00:34:10You take it before
00:34:11it shivers down your throat.
00:34:31Fuck.
00:34:47Go home, pretty boy.
00:34:49Alex,
00:34:50do what you know how to do.
00:35:01Phew.
00:35:27Woohoo!
00:35:30Fuck.
00:35:32Fuck.
00:35:49Get up.
00:36:01Fuck off.
00:36:04Jack,
00:36:05cease.
00:36:06That's enough.
00:36:07Thank you very much, gentlemen.
00:36:08Good work.
00:36:09You've given everyone
00:36:10a very valuable demonstration.
00:36:12Alex, you're gonna make
00:36:13an excellent addition
00:36:14to this battle.
00:36:24He's gonna talk.
00:36:25No, he won't.
00:36:26He won't last in the ring.
00:36:28We shall see.
00:36:57Selena?
00:37:04Selena?
00:37:07Selena?
00:37:10Selena?
00:37:27Look.
00:37:39Where is she?
00:37:40Alex, I was expecting you.
00:37:42No more games, damn it.
00:37:43I said, where is she?
00:37:47Gene, rest him up.
00:37:48That's enough.
00:37:55Right. No more games.
00:37:57There is a lot at stake here, isn't there?
00:38:00A lot of money for you, for one thing.
00:38:02You know, your debut last night has created a lot of interest in our championship finals.
00:38:06The betting on your next spot is way up.
00:38:08And if you handle your next opponent half as well as you handle Jack,
00:38:11then I'm betting that you win.
00:38:12What have you done with Elena?
00:38:14Oh, she's safe and sound, well-provided for.
00:38:16Forget about her. Just put her out of your mind and concentrate on your next fight.
00:38:19I want to see her!
00:38:20Well, you will, after the fight.
00:38:22You can't make me fight.
00:38:24Alex, I never force anyone to do anything.
00:38:27And for everyone's sake, I hope you extend to me the same courtesy.
00:38:31Now, we need to work together on this thing, Alex.
00:38:33I'm going to make you very rich.
00:38:35And you're going to be the best.
00:38:37And I don't have any choice.
00:38:42Is she all right?
00:38:43I give you my word.
00:38:46Now, Alex, I have something for you.
00:38:49Every fighter in the ring of steel has his choice of weapon.
00:38:52This is my personal collection.
00:38:54I want you to choose one.
00:38:56The crusader sword.
00:38:57Japanese katana.
00:38:59Spanish dagger.
00:39:00These blades have built empires.
00:39:03Just imagine, Alex, to conquer worlds.
00:39:06Live or die by one's own skill and courage.
00:39:09Is there a truer test of a man than to face another man with one of these?
00:39:14To resolve all conflicts.
00:39:15Remove all doubts and complexities in a single stroke.
00:39:19Simplicity.
00:39:21Perfection.
00:39:23These are not weapons, Alex.
00:39:26These are instruments of truth.
00:39:33Of course.
00:39:34The rapier and dagger.
00:39:36That is the original 17th century Puppenheimer.
00:39:39Belonged to Charles II of England.
00:39:42And now, it's yours.
00:40:13I'm leaving.
00:40:15Make yourself comfortable.
00:40:17Why are you doing this?
00:40:18I'm not.
00:40:20And I'm not crazy about having a roommate, either.
00:40:24Why don't you just...
00:40:26make the best of it?
00:40:28What do you plan on doing with us?
00:40:31Alex is going to do what he's always really wanted to do.
00:40:34He's going to get hurt.
00:40:35Or worse.
00:40:36I wouldn't worry about Alex.
00:40:38I'm going to take really good care of him.
00:41:08Yeah!
00:41:28Hello, Alex.
00:41:31Tanya.
00:41:39I came to wish you luck.
00:41:51Is this your idea, or his?
00:41:54I do as I please.
00:41:56I'm sorry about your friend.
00:41:58I had nothing to do with that.
00:42:00It's you I care about.
00:42:03Tanya.
00:42:05I appreciate your interest.
00:42:07But maybe you could just convince your friend to let me and my friend go.
00:42:11If I could do that, I would.
00:42:14He's a dangerous man, Alex.
00:42:17Don't underestimate him or what he's asking you to do.
00:42:21I don't want to hurt him.
00:42:23I don't want to hurt him.
00:42:25I don't want to hurt him.
00:42:27I don't want to hurt him.
00:42:29What do you want me to do?
00:42:31I don't want you hurt.
00:42:34I want to help you.
00:42:40Look.
00:42:41This isn't helping.
00:42:43I think you should go now.
00:42:45Don't be silly.
00:42:49Hey, Jack.
00:42:50How about we go get a beer or something?
00:42:52What do you say, huh?
00:42:53Jack.
00:42:55Oh, shit.
00:42:56What the hell are you doing?
00:43:00Jack!
00:43:01Jack!
00:43:11I'm going to straighten you out, bitch.
00:43:14You ain't got the guts.
00:43:16What's going on here?
00:43:17I said no fighting outside the ring, ever!
00:43:19There weren't fighting.
00:43:21As you can see, it was just a disagreement about the sword.
00:43:24Was that Charles II or Charles III?
00:43:26Can you fight?
00:43:27Yeah.
00:43:28Get him downstairs to the ring.
00:43:34What was that all about?
00:43:36All right, Jack.
00:43:38Don't you ever disobey me again.
00:43:40Not ever do you understand me!
00:43:42I'm going to kill him.
00:43:44You better hope you haven't already.
00:43:47Hey, are you going to be okay?
00:43:52Yeah.
00:44:16Jack!
00:44:33Yeah!
00:44:34Yeah!
00:44:35Yeah!
00:44:47Yeah!
00:44:54Yeah!
00:45:06Yeah!
00:45:07Yeah!
00:45:13Yeah!
00:45:16Oh
00:45:46Oh
00:46:16Oh
00:46:25You're right take me home. Oh, no, you can't leave now
00:46:32Well, he said you said what you don't understand that look now stay with me on this Alex
00:46:36I went in this match. We're now a contender for the championship title. This is your chance to be the best
00:46:42Besides, you don't want to disappoint those fans. It's just rain money on you
00:46:46Look, I'm not fighting three more bouts finals in three days. No way Alex. You've already made your choice
00:46:53And let her go I wish it was that simple I really do but unfortunately
00:46:58I got to make sure that you cooperate and also that there's no outside interference between now and the final match
00:47:03Well, you understand boys
00:47:16I don't hurt him Alex. Just three more bouts. That's all you get her out of here
00:47:33Gentlemen there's nothing illegal about what we do here
00:47:35There's no law against playing music and no law against serving drinks with a license, of course
00:47:39And there's no law against exhibitions of traditional swordplay downstairs
00:47:43How about gambling?
00:47:45Well, what am I supposed to do about an occasional side bit humans being what they are
00:47:49You know the Super Bowl World Series don't y'all have a little office pool
00:47:53Anybody ever get hurt during these?
00:47:56Exhibitions. Well, I mean our trained professionals, but they use real swords, but we have a house doctor and we carry an awful lot of insurance
00:48:04Anybody ever been killed?
00:48:06Well, if they were you'd be the first to know wouldn't you lieutenant?
00:48:09Have you ever seen this guy before?
00:48:12I'm afraid I bounced you would never allow anybody look like that through the front door
00:48:18computer programmer
00:48:20Slash barbarian since he was also involved with a couple of bizarre groups on the side. I acted out medieval battles and stuff
00:48:28His wife reported him missing yesterday. Oh, I see
00:48:34She said he'd heard about this new club where they take this stuff real serious
00:48:40Now he left the dis address
00:48:43Never came back
00:48:45Yeah
00:48:46Camper found him in a ravine up in Los Padres this morning
00:48:50Corner said he was beating pretty badly around the head
00:48:53They've been rocks
00:48:55We also had this real big hole right through his liver made by a big knife
00:49:02Or a sword
00:49:05Gentlemen, I'm more than happy to have you come by and watch any of our exhibitions. That'll help your investigation. Would you like to come tonight?
00:49:14You know of any other places where
00:49:17I like this could live out his fantasies and
00:49:20Dress up like a barbarian
00:49:23in Los Angeles
00:49:26Could be anywhere
00:49:35I
00:49:47Got something for you
00:50:04Oh
00:50:29You mean when I met your boyfriend Jack is not my boyfriend
00:50:34Yeah, well he seems to think so
00:50:38Jack is a lot of delusions. I
00:50:41Choose who I want
00:50:44When I saw you in the ring last night I
00:50:47Wanted you
00:50:51Tanya
00:50:54Maybe you should find someone is up to your speed. I want to find Lena
00:50:59I
00:51:03Make me feel a little cheap Alex throwing myself at you like this
00:51:22Where's Alex great, maybe I could help you
00:51:30First you have to do something for me
00:51:39Just take me to her don't be stupid
00:51:46Tell me where she is you're crazy take me to her
00:51:51Am I interrupting something or is this deja vu all over again?
00:52:00I
00:52:02Jack's on his way. I'm not again. Yeah, I thought he's a real tease
00:52:09Wait a sec. You are so lucky. I'm your friend. This is a great idea. Come on
00:52:19Yeah
00:52:21Where have you been?
00:52:22Jack I remember Alex. Well, he just made improper advances to your woman again
00:52:26He'd like to challenge you to another round of the ring
00:52:29You know the rules no fighting outside the ring
00:52:34Yeah
00:52:37Right you got it
00:52:41Huh, I was taken care
00:52:59Oh

00:54:29I
00:54:38Really appreciate that. I love a good joke
00:54:40In the meantime back to business, huh? Leave you two gentlemen issued a challenge for Alex to fight the next bout. Is that right?
00:54:59I
00:55:30Oh
00:55:38What are you doing gotta make it look good
00:55:44Doesn't have to look that good. Come on pansy attack me
00:55:50It hurt me you're crazy that's what time you said about you
00:55:59Oh
00:56:19Alex that was great
00:56:29Oh, yeah, do you know any prayers my friend?
00:56:49I'm gonna kill them both when we resume competition. You will fight who I say and when I say
00:56:59Oh
00:57:29Oh
00:57:45Yeah
00:57:50Hi Brian, you know, I really get thirsty looking up a sweat
00:58:00Then if I take a drink, thank you
00:58:13Hope it's just for say
00:58:23Okay, I'm ready
00:58:29Oh
00:58:47I'm tired me too. What do you want to we got on this? All right, I'll stab you and you die
00:58:52No, no, no, you die. I don't want to die. You ready to end this thing you die
00:58:56What was your idea with a chicken? All right
00:58:59I
00:59:30Oh
00:59:34You're safe, okay
00:59:38Are they treating you where they keeping? I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm at Tanya's
00:59:42I'm not a variety on the menu though. You know, that beats their favorite but just two more fights in the lettuce go
00:59:49Alex do you really believe that I have to he gave me his word
00:59:54But how can he keep it don't you realize what they've done kidnapping extortion Alex. I'm afraid don't worry
01:00:01I'll get us out of this I
01:00:04Will I promise?
01:00:14It's his alright, you know you think a real barbarian would at least drive American
01:00:19How far away is that club it's about two blocks get a stakeout on it
01:00:49I
01:01:19Oh
01:01:43What the hell are you doing out there?
01:01:45I
01:01:47Need your help I'll say but the matches are one on one. No, I gotta get out of here during finals
01:01:54I don't think they'll like that. I
01:01:56Don't have any choice. Yeah, that's why you said you had to be here. No, I'm here because they're holding my girl
01:02:02They're making me do this and because you killed somebody
01:02:05Yeah, that was an accident
01:02:08Everybody here says it was an accident. There's no accidents in the ring
01:02:11This wasn't in the ring, so some stupid fencing competition, don't you read the papers?
01:02:20You mean you've never fought in a club like this before
01:02:24No, he's not obvious no, well not until tonight
01:02:33So now what happens if I do stick around and win well, uh, you become club champion instead of Jake
01:02:41unless you lose
01:02:43Either way if I want to leave after that either way, I don't think that'll be an option
01:02:52Listen I just want to find Elena and get out of here. Will you help me?
01:03:04So I get your sword
01:03:06I
01:03:10Guess that leaves me to finish off old Jack. Hey, it'll be worth it
01:03:16Why don't you come with us? Oh
01:03:20I already told you I have no choice. Let's just say that I've had a few accidents in the ring
01:03:27What we got to do is make a plan for you
01:03:30See finals are tomorrow night
01:03:34Probably you and Jack first since you want our fight
01:03:59I
01:04:02I
01:04:07Good morning making coffee
01:04:10I
01:04:25Could kill him without this. Okay, you still can you'll have to get him before the juice does
01:04:35Jack's gotta leave early cuz he's moonlighting in stripping nails
01:04:40Alex Brian just drop by to wish you both the best of luck in the finals
01:04:44We already put the coin side which of us will win
01:04:47Well, first of all, there's a matter of one of you defeating the current champion after last night's bouts Brian
01:04:52You're hit on technical points. So you'll fight Jack first
01:04:55Me tonight. Yeah right now your fans are waiting better hustle
01:04:59Alex I want you to join me up in the stands that way you can scout out your next opponent. Okay
01:05:10Please
01:05:30Big money Alex
01:05:40I
01:06:10I
01:06:41Oh
01:06:48So Jack what brings you here generations of inbreeding
01:06:57Waited a long time. We should have gone before you left the house
01:07:10I
01:07:18Surprised Jack, what do you just normally look at stupid?
01:07:40Ah
01:08:10Oh
01:08:40Oh
01:09:02No, how am I doing?
01:09:10I
01:09:15Fight
01:09:40You
01:10:10I
01:10:26Think you'd be able to fight more relevant question is will you
01:10:31Push me old man
01:10:35When this is over I'm calling the shots around here
01:10:40Oh
01:10:42Well, it's in a tailor what brings you back
01:10:47Just want to see what goes on around here during the day I thought you might want to join our little fencing sound
01:10:55Well, there you are oh
01:10:57Yeah
01:10:58Looks like pretty good exercise breaking this concentration. Oh, yeah. Would you like some coffee to go with it?
01:11:05Give me a decaf trying to cut down sure
01:11:10Oh
01:11:20There you are you've been practicing very hard
01:11:25What are you doing here? Thank you should get some rest before tonight's fight
01:11:30Why cuz I want you in perfect condition for that fight
01:11:32I
01:11:37Sort of look good when you have me killed like you did Brian, right Alex something you don't understand here
01:11:43There's a lot more at stake than just one fight a jack is a loose cannon. He's threatening everything
01:11:48Now I promise you the chance to be the best and I'm giving it to you tonight against him
01:11:52And if you win, I can promise you much much more
01:11:56Why don't I just kill you instead? Yeah, sure. Maybe just walk right out of here, huh?
01:12:01Maybe you find Elena and maybe you can go home and live happily ever after
01:12:04Maybe there's someone else you'd rather kill. I get some rest Alex
01:12:24I'm leaving. It's Alex's big night
01:12:27I'll say hello for you. What are you gonna do to us after this is all over?
01:12:35Make sure you clean up the mess when you're finished
01:12:45Don't wait up
