[grunting]

[sighs]

[suspenseful music playing]

What are you doing here?

Didn't think you could hide
from me forever, did you?

- Gonna break my arm too?
- You let that happen.

You wouldn't even fight back.
You just went home and cried to Mommy.

Well, Mommy's not here.

[dramatic music plays]

[both grunting]

Don't worry,
I'm not going to break your arm.

You deserve much worse!

[both grunting]

[yelps]

[groans]

Robby, Miguel…

Look where they are now.
And it's all your fault!

It's all your fault.

[Tory] Miguel!

[Sam groaning]

You started this,

now let's finish it.

[muffled groaning]

Let's go, slowpoke!

Move those gimp legs!

[Miguel exclaims]

[straining]

Go, Diaz.

OK, there. Hold it, hold it, hold it.

Feel the burn. Feel the burn.
Looking good. All right. Ten more!

[clapping] Go, Diaz. Move it!

We're almost there. Let's go!

- Think I'm getting the hang of it.
- Oh, yeah? Think fast.

Oh. Oh!

Lookin' good.

[Miguel strains]

Lookin' real good.

Here it comes!

[Miguel] What about
"Johnny Lawrence Karate"?

Or "Strike Hard Karate"?

Come on, I'm trying to think of names
for our new dojo.

How long do Facebook messages take
to get delivered?

- Ali's in Colorado, so probably a while.
- It's instantaneous.

[sighs]

What about "All American Karate"?

It's not good enough.

We need something that tells everyone
we're the most badass dojo in the Valley.

Yeah. It sucks that Cobra Kai's
such a badass name.

What if we just keep that?

But we spell cobra with a K.
They can call us triple K.

Like KKK?

Yeah, it's probably a bad idea.

All right, whatever. We'll figure it out.
First, we need students.

It's my first day back at school today.
I could recruit.

But where are we gonna train?

You let me worry about that.

- Morning, honey.
- Why don't you have a seat?

I brewed up some of that tea
I brought back from Okinawa.

You're being weird. What's going on?

Well, your mom and I have been talking
about how to deal with Cobra Kai.

You have?

I'm sorry I got so upset with you
for training the other kids.

I didn't realize
what you were dealing with.

We're trying to handle it, but...

With all you're going through
at school with those bullies,

we want to make sure
you know how to defend yourself.

So, what are you saying?

Your dad's gonna reopen Miyagi-Do.

And I'm 100% on board.

So, what do you say?
Ready to get back into action?

No.

Sam.

Sam, wait. Hey.

What's going on?

I'm not doing karate anymore, OK?

What was that?

Something's going on with her.
I don't think she's sleeping very well.

Well, I didn't know that.

I've been so preoccupied
with everything going on,

I haven't been able
to spend enough time with her.

Well, maybe you play hooky today.

You know? She can skip school.

I got the dealership. You know?
Go work your Miyagi magic.

- [girl 1] Here he is.
- [girl 2] No way!

- [students applauding]
- Yeah!

[cheering]

Hey, good to see you.

He's back!

- [girl 3] Yes, Miguel!
- Good to see you.

El Serpiente!

- What's up?
- Welcome back, man.

Feels good to be back.

- They give you bionic legs or some sh*t?
- No, same old boring human legs.

Oh, yeah? Can you throw down?
Gotta defend that title. [Chuckles]

Gotta get through me first.
Dude, Cobra Kai is crushing it.

I've been meaning
to talk to you about that.

[bell rings]

- We'll talk about it at lunch.
- Sure.

- What's up, Miguel?
- Hey. What's up?

Hey, the Comeback Kid! Welcome back.

I hope to make a similar triumphant return

to the land
of the mobile appendage masses.

- What's up with the cast?
- Proximal radius fracture.

It smells.

I put a lemon rind down there
to mitigate that.

The invitation for you
to sign it still stands.

[scoffs] Hard pass.

When you used to be a thorn in my tits,
you were getting me an A in science.

Now you can't even do that
because you're defective.

So, uh… how'd you break your arm?

We've got a lot to catch up on.

[man] Place is turnkey.

Got locker rooms over there,
adjoining steam rooms, private showers.

How you likin' that juice?

Its' the best orange juice I ever had.

In-house juice bar.
Your clients are gonna flip for it.

I got a few folks sniffing around,

but you look like the kinda guy
who knows a good deal when you see it.

- Shall we start the paperwork?
- Who needs paperwork? I'll take it!

Well, we still need a contract.
And I'll need to run your credit.

I'd prefer if you didn't.

Why don't we skip that crap
for an old-fashioned handshake deal?

Like men.

You said this was the fourth space
you've seen today?

Yeah. Trying to work within a budget.

Well, this place is as cheap as they come.

Had to knock a couple hundred off
because of the asbestos.

They think they got it all.

Few coats of paint, little elbow grease,
I think I can make this work.

- So how much we talking?
- Three grand.

Three grand?

Are you serious? This place sucks!

Where's the juice bar?
Where's the steam room?

There was a vending machine.
Some homeless guy crapped in it.

I drove here thinking
this place would be affordable.

This is LA, pal.

You want a roof and four walls,

it's gonna cost ya.

[rock music playing]

[Johnny] You're telling me
this place is free?

- Yeah.
- Totally free, no strings attached?

Yeah, it's free.

So I can do karate here?

All the way from that trash can
all the way to that tree?

You can do whatever you want.
It's a public park.

Can I get back to my family now?

Yeah, yeah. Thanks.

[Daniel] This isn't so bad, is it?

[Sam] Guess it beats school.

[Daniel] Something about the quiet…

the sound of the water…

it always seems to just help.

I thought you and I could both use
a little bit of that today.

Is that why we're out here?

I also thought
we could catch some dinner for tonight.

- It's a little rusty.
- Yeah. Well, so am I.

The trick to fishing out here
is to get the line into the deep water,

away from the boat.

It's all in the cast.

All right, get your shoulder back.
Bend your elbows, let her fly.

There you go.

Do you remember
the last time we were out here?

It was with Mr. Miyagi.

He caught that fish that was so big
Mom was afraid to cook it.

Pretty sure
we ended up ordering in a pizza.

That was the day we taught you
how to balance on the bow.

Not that we needed to, we couldn't
knock you off to save our lives.

Wanna give it another sh*t
for old times' sake? What do you say?

I knew it.

You knew what?

Is that why you brought me here?
To trick me into doing karate?

What? No, not at all.
This has nothing to do with that.

- I just wanted to spend the day together.
- I told you, Dad, I quit karate.

Please, just help me to understand why.
I wanna help.

It doesn't matter. You can't help.

I can't
if you don't tell me what's going on.

Be honest with me, Sam.

[sentimental music playing]

I froze, OK?

I watched my friends get hurt.

I watched Demetri get his arm broken,
and I couldn't do anything.

Now I'm having panic att*cks. I don't know
if I'll be able to defend myself again.

I'm so sorry, Sam.

Just take me home.

[Kyler speaking indistinctly]

Oh, crap.

Oh, you thought I'd knock down your tray?

[clicks tongue] Come on.
I'm better than that.

Hey, what else do you need help with?
Want me to sign your cast? Say no more.

- [boy 1] Incoming.
- [laughing]

- [boy 2] Look at that sad face.
- Right?

Sorry. Party's full.

- Where am I supposed to sit?
- The rejects' table. Over there.

- [laughs]
- [boy 2] What a loser!

Hey, man.

I heard about what happened with Demetri.
How could you do that?

You should thank me
for getting revenge on Miyagi-Do.

And they started the fight.
We finished it.

- That's not what Sensei taught us.
- He's not my sensei anymore.

- After all he did for you, you betray him?
- He betrayed us.

[breathes deeply]

This isn't you talking.
It's Kreese, he's got in your head.

You can change that, leave Cobra Kai
and join Sensei's new dojo.

If you come, others will follow.

OK? We can show everyone
we're not bullies.

- It could be like before.
- He has a new dojo?

Hey, guys. Check this guy out.
Standing around with a d*ck in his hand.

[students laughing]

So, these are your friends now?

[suspenseful music playing]

You don't have to talk to me.

I just want you to know
that I'm always here for you.

I told you, you can't help me.

Why don't you walk me
through what happened?

[sniffles]

When the fight started, I…

I couldn't move.

I couldn't breathe.

Felt like…

Like my heart was gonna jump
out of my chest.

I knew there was something wrong before,
I just… thought I could handle it.

Does this have anything
to do with that girl, Tory?

First time seeing her since.

I felt like it would all happen again.

Like I would get hurt.

And Miguel would fall.

And Robby would run.

[sobbing] My brain could feel it starting,
and so my body just… stopped.

That must've been terrifying.

Demetri got hurt.

And I couldn't do anything to stop it.

Sam, that's not on you.

Cobra Kai is way out of control.
You know that.

That's the problem.

I'm scared, Dad.

I've never felt so alone.

You're not alone.

No matter what you're feeling,

it's nothing to be ashamed of,
you hear me?

You up for a pit stop on the way home?

[bell rings]

- Hey, what's up, Moose?
- [student] What?

[knocks on locker]

Sensei?

How'd you get through security?

I went to school here.
Think I don't know secret ways in?

Hey. Got some good news.

Found a pretty sweet spot
for our new dojo.

- Yeah?
- How's the recruiting coming?

That bad?

It's just everything's changed, Sensei.

Cobra Kai, they…
They all drank the Kool-Aid.

Kool-Aid? What's wrong with a Kool-Aid?

It's just… Sensei Kreese is turning them
into an army of assholes.

There's no convincing them to leave.

Wait here.

OK, listen up!

I screwed up.

And I'm sorry.

I made it about me.

And that's not what a sensei does.

I took the easy way out.

I gave up.

What happened here at this school…

it rocked me to my core.

I couldn't look myself in the eye,
let alone face all of you.

Yeah. I guess it makes it easier
to tell yourself that.

But the truth is, you bailed on us
long before that fight happened.

You got soft.

And we paid the price.

You listen up.

When you came to my dojo,
you were softer than a baby's ass.

- [epic music plays]
- I made you what you are, not Kreese.

He doesn't give a sh*t about you.

About any of you.

If you wanna whine about the past
like a bunch of pussies, fine.

We can play that game.

Wanna stick with Kreese? Go ahead.

Don't say I didn't warn you
when your life ends up in the shitter.

Or you could sack up

and join my dojo.

Havenhurst and Magnolia, tomorrow at 4:00.

If you wanna save yourselves,
train the right way…

you better be there.

And don't be late!

Sorry, kid. Old habit.

[sweeping music plays]

[Daniel] No matter how many times
I come back here,

I just can't help
but feel a little rush of adrenaline.

That's great, Dad. But you still haven't
told me why we're here.

Come here.

Right here.

I know.
This is where you b*at Johnny Lawrence.

No.

This is where I almost lost to fear.

What do you mean? When?

It was during my second tournament.

I didn't even need to fight
in the preliminary rounds, so I was fresh.

I thought I was ready.

But in the final match…

my opponent was ruthless.

Before I knew it, I was on that mat
and the fear had completely taken over.

I was paralyzed.

I couldn't move.

The thought of getting up again
and facing that guy

just scared
the living daylights out of me.

I just wanted to run off and hide.

So, what did you do?

[Mr. Miyagi] Daniel-san!

- Mr. Miyagi, it's over! Forget about it!
- No!

I'm afraid!

It's OK lose to opponent.
Must not lose to fear!

- Yeah, well, I'm afraid!
- Hey!

You stay focused.

Daniel-san, your best karate
is still inside you.

Now time, let out!

Luckily, I had Mr. Miyagi
to help me get my focus back.

I got up…

and finished the fight, and I won.

I guess Mr. Miyagi always had a way
of fixing things.

There's no question
his advice was something I needed to hear.

But ultimately, I had to be the one
to get up and do something.

I still live with the fear, Sam.

We all do on some level.

I just try to not let it ever win.

Sam, you're the only one
who can get up when you're down.

No one else.

I promise,

I will be there…

always to help you.

Just like Mr. Miyagi was there for me.

[bell rings]

- [Kyler] Later, geek!
- [students laugh]

Assholes.

[clears throat]

You have a marker?

Uh, um...

Yeah.

Cast.

[clears throat]

[sighs]

There.

Much better.

Wow. That, uh… That really…

That, uh… It…

Uh... Thank you.

After the whole, you know…

front wedgie thing…

I know what it's like.

Sucks to have everyone laughing at you.

If it means anything, I've experienced
multiple back wedgies, and…

well, they're no picnic either.

OK. [Clears throat]

- Let's not make this a thing.
- Understood.

- Mm-mmm. [Giggles]
- [clicks tongue]

[breathing deeply]

I knew you'd be back.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

Here, catch.

What's this for?

Thought maybe we could do some training.

I mean, you know, if you want to.

Show me…

cast the rod.

- What?
- [grunts]

[chuckles lightly]

Nice block.

"Cast the rod."

So the fishing trip
was karate training after all?

More of a happy coincidence.

[both grunting]

[gentle music playing]

Again.

Come on.

[suspenseful music playing]

This is day one.

We've been here before.

But things are different now.

They tried to tear us down.

It didn't work!

They said we needed a roof and four walls.

Screw that!

This park…

will be our new dojo.

'Cause you don't need a dojo to be a dojo!

Is that understood?

[all] Yes, Sensei!

I started Cobra Kai with one nerd.

This is a step up.

And if we're gonna be taken seriously,

we need a name that commands respect.

A name that elicits power and dominance.

Cobras are strong.

They may be king of the jungle,
but the world's more than just a jungle.

And there's only one animal…

that can k*ll a snake.

A mongoose?

A real animal, Bert.

Welcome…

to Eagle Fang Karate.

[eagle screeching]

- [whispering in amazement]
- Uh, eagles don't have fang...

Put 'em on!

- Anyone else feeling a little snug?
- Do some more sit-ups.

All right, everybody, fall in!

Sensei, look.

[chuckles] Still got it.

All right. Looks like
our class just got bigger. Make room.

I told you,

Cobra Kai for life.

Don't worry, Johnny.
I'm not here for a fight.

Yeah? Then why the hell are you here?

I'd like to make you an offer to come back
to Cobra Kai where you belong.

You're crazy if you think
I'm ever teaming up with you again.

The garbage you're feeding them,

the sh*t they're pulling,

it's messed up.

You're to blame for that.

I have to disagree with you there.

I care about my students.

They're strong and they're true fighters.

And they wouldn't make the mistake
of showing mercy and ending up in a coma!

This is it, Johnny.
There's not gonna be another chance.

Good.

You made your choice.

And you are gonna regret it.
