Original subtitles

It's been a month since the decision to resume the Sekai Taikai.

The tragic events of Barcelona are now behind us.

Our remaining fighters are hard at work...

training for their chance to become world champions.

With all the media attention,

our tournament will now reach an audience far greater than before.

The winning fighters and dojos will reap the benefits of victory.

The stakes have never been higher.

Which is why I'm here, in the Valley.

Now that the senseis have agreed to finish the Sekai Taikai,

we must all work together

to ensure

this competition concludes without any more drama.

- You always this stupid? - This should be easy.

I like a hot dog as much as the next person, but...

We cannot afford to pay for three different vegan food vendors.

People need to eat, Gavin. This isn't the Fyre Festival.

You weren't worried about cutting costs when you cut my blue mats.

Your blue mats had a fungus that the lab deemed a health hazard.

I've been saying for years it's a mistake

to have so many bare feet in a moist gymnasium.

I don't like that word, George.

What word? Gymnasium?

Enough!

The mats will be red.

We'll have one vegan food vendor.

And 50% of all T-shirt sales will go to the Sekai Taikai discretionary fund.

Oh, sounds like someone's wetting his beak.

You're one to talk. What about that dinner you hosted down in Temecula?

That was to secure the parking permits.

- Is no one concerned about the e-tickets? - What the hell is wrong with paper?

Apart from the fact that it's the 21st century?

You also wanna roll back the clocks to when women couldn't vote?

If it'll shut you up, then yeah.

- Oh, you misogynistic... - No!

- No! - People, people!

This dysfunction will cease.

When I raise the microphone to resume the tournament,

we will project complete professionalism.

What do you mean, when you raise the microphone?

- I'll be the master of ceremonies. - Like hell you will. Listen.

I don't know how they do things in Austria, or Slovakia,

or wherever the hell you from,

but you in the Valley now,

and we got a way of doing things around here.

Mm-hmm.

You're right.

We'll settle it the old way.

I'm glad you agree.

Uh, wait. Um, what's the old way?

Ready?

- I'm still not sure what we're supposed... - Fight!

Any other objections?

Daryl? Are you alive?

{n8}Oh, there he is.

{n8}Sensei with the green thumb.

{n8}- Ah, morning, Daniel-san, Amanda-san. - Just came to get my cooler.

{n8}We're taking a ride up the coast to do a wine tasting.

{n8}The kids should train alone more often.

{n8}Can't remember the last time we were in Ojai.

{n8}What about you? You just gonna toil away all day here?

{n8}No, I am binging Storage Wars.

{n8}Only have 16 episodes left.

{n8}You're gonna watch eight hours

{n8}of people scavenging through abandoned storage units?

{n8}Yep!

{n8}Excuse me. Mr. Toe-Gucki live here?

{n8}It's Toguchi.

{n8}Oh, excuse me. Mr. Toguchi. Registered letter for you, sir.

{n8}- Thank you. - If you just sign.

{n8}Hey, this is some place you have here.

{n8}From the outside yard, you'd never know it.

{n8}From Kumiko.

{n8}She apologizes for not returning my call.

{n8}Says she... did not get message for long time.

{n8}Ah. Problem with phone company.

{n8}She says that she loves me.

{n8}As a friend.

{n8}Her heart lies somewhere else.

{n8}Oh, Chozen, I'm so sorry.

{n8}Yeah, that's... that's her loss.

{n8}It's okay. Really.

{n8}Maybe, uh, I confused friendship for love.

{n8}I will watch Storage Wars now.

{n8}Wow, that was a... very evolved response.

{n8}I don't buy it for a minute.

{n8}You didn't see him in Spain. He was a mess.

{n8}He's gonna mix up a dozen Long Island iced teas and go on a bender.

{n8}We can't leave him alone.

{n8}- But... - We can't.

{n8}Then we'll bring him with us.

{n8}Winnie Taylor has been asking me to set her up.

{n8}We can make it a double date.

{n8}- Is that a good match? - They're not getting married.

{n8}It's a couple glasses of Chardonnay and some light conversation.

{n8}- Unless you think he's better off here. - Do not bid over 900, you asshat!

{n8}It's like, uh, setting wallet on fire!

{n8}Stupid!

{n8}- Make the call. - Yeah.

{n8}Okay, we have extra socks, slippers, phone charger.

{n8}Hey. Got room in there for this?

{n8}When I was born, my mom got a flat on the way to the hospital.

{n8}She got the rest of the way on roller skates. Made it just in time.

Nurses called her "Lucky Laura."

Your mom was a strong woman.

Fortunately, if our car breaks down, we can call an Uber.

Uh, no way. It's a total crapshoot with those drivers.

Okay, then we can just call Amanda.

Amanda. Should we add that name to the list?

You want to name our daughter after your co-sensei's wife?

Yeah, not when you mention it like that.

Johnny, have you considered the name "Bastarda"?

- "Bastarda"? - Mm-hmm.

Is that a common name?

You bring baby

into house of sin.

We are kind of doing things a little backwards.

Mm-hmm.

- Don't worry. I'll make things right. - Not with me.

Make right

with him.

After today, we shall forever be known as the Binary Senseis, huh?

So, uh, you hear anything from MIT? Hm?

Uh...

Yeah, I did.

I just didn't know how to tell you.

It's gonna be a no-go.

Oh.

I'm sorry, Eli.

It's all good though. I... I got into Caltech.

Okay, Caltech, yeah.

Honestly, it would've been my first choice if you were going there too.

But... I'm still pretty stoked.

- Dude, that's... that's awesome. - Yeah.

But, um, if this really is our last rodeo, I'm... I'm glad we're going out with a bang.

- What's up, guys? - Hey, there he is.

The future champion of the Sekai Taikai.

Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Nobody scored a point on Axel all tournament.

Yeah? Well, that's about to change.

What's all this?

All this is how Miyagi-Do is gonna win the Sekai Taikai.

- LaRusso? - Yeah.

What are you doing here?

The Miyagi-Do boys are training together.

I know we have to fight each other in the semis,

but I figured if I'm gonna fight the best, I wanna train with the best.

I'm not fighting.

I quit.

Wait. What?

You should be happy. One less person for you to fight.

Have you talked to Robby about this?

I don't need to talk to Robby.

I'm not putting that Cobra Kai gi on ever again.

You're not gonna convince me otherwise.

That means I advance to the finals.

I have to fight you-know-who.

Nobody deserves to get their ass kicked more than that bitch.

Then help me train to beat her.

Come on.

This could be your last opportunity to try and kick me in the face.

Unctuous. Oilier than expected.

I'm getting notes of ripe huckleberry in here.

Yeah, what does a huckleberry even taste like?

I don't know. This tastes like juice box.

Chozen, you're really gonna like Winnie.

Sam goes to school with her daughter Moon.

She loves nature and balance and all that crunchy stuff.

Really lean into your Miyagi-Do energy.

Yeah, maybe leave out the Storage Wars marathon.

What?

Would you look at this place?

Oh, hey.

Hi. Hey.

- Hey. - Hi. Aw.

- How are you? Great to see you. - Hello!

Winnie Taylor, please meet our friend Chozen Toguchi.

Chozen, what a wonderful name.

Did you know it's derived from two words meaning "honesty" and "integrity?"

- Oh, I did not know that. - Here. Have a seat.

Sorry I'm late.

- I just got a Reiki treatment. - Here you go.

I know it's a Japanese spiritual practice. Have you tried it?

- Have not. - Oh, you must.

My healer, Avram, is amazing. He'll change your life.

- I am good. - I don't know, Chozen. Give it a shot.

Daniel-san, in Okinawa, we have a saying...

Uh, which means, uh, "Reiki is bullshit."

Uh... Ooh! So, uh, can you believe, Winnie, that our girls are off to college?

Oh my gosh, Amanda, I am so not ready.

Oh, this one too.

Sam's applying to a few programs across the world.

It's gonna be a big adjustment.

You got that right.

When Sage went off to Pitzer,

I figured life would basically be the same.

I mean, it's only 30 miles away.

But it changed everything.

Well, I mean, not everything.

Oh, you'll see.

No one prepares you for how emotionally devastating it is

when your first child leaves the nest.

My biorhythm still hasn't recovered.

Even weekly sound baths, crystal healing...

That is because, uh, crystals are also bullshit.

I really appreciate it.

Johnny Lawrence.

- What brings you in, man? - Hey, buddy.

- It's good to see you. - Good to see you.

Hey, do you have one of those boxes

where a guy can tell a stranger everything he's doing wrong

until he feels better?

Well, confessionals are only in Catholic churches,

but you can talk to me.

What's going on?

Well, as you know, me and my lady are having a baby.

Yes. Any day now, right?

Yeah, and the thing is, uh,

Carmen and I aren't married.

Oh, and you think God is gonna have a problem

with you bringing a baby into the world unwed.

Sh, keep it down.

Johnny, relax.

God's not gonna punish you for not being married.

Are you sure?

I'm positive.

That's a relief.

I was gonna propose a few months back,

but I ended up getting tanked and took on five ninjas.

My buddy got 70 stitches. Didn't feel like the right moment.

Then I was gonna do it after the Sekai Taikai,

but after what happened in Barcelona...

- You know, with the kid? - Yeah. We've all seen that. It's tragic.

I figured we win the tournament,

we'd get more kids in the dojo, and I can afford a real house.

I was gonna propose the day we moved in.

I wanted everything to be perfect.

Listen. That's all totally normal.

But let me ask you a question.

When's the last time things felt perfect?

Honestly?

After I won the All Valley... in '83.

Holding the trophy up there, I felt unstoppable.

Yeah. I remember.

What were the names of those two chicks you hooked up with that night?

They were so hot. They were wild.

- My point is... - That one was a freak.

No, my point is... life's not perfect.

- We have good days. We have bad ones. - Yeah.

The hope is the good ones win.

But if you're waiting around for things to be perfect

before taking the next step, your feet are gonna get awfully stiff.

Don't sleep on your own happiness, Johnny.

Take the leap.

Just do it.

Tanya and Lorraine.

Yes, Tanya and Lorraine!

We call it Fully Integrated Generative Haptic Technology,

or FIGHT.

It is the most advanced karate training program in the world.

Okay, what does it do?

Put these on, and you'll see.

♪ Eli and Demetri ♪

♪ Binary Brothers ♪

♪ Eli and Demetri ♪

♪ Binary brothers... ♪

What's up?

Whoa.

What do you see? Is it cool?

♪ We are Binary Brothers... ♪

This is trippy.

We uploaded all the data from Axel's fights

to develop a predictive algorithm that can be fed to Miguel's headphones.

Yeah, so today, Miguel is Axel.

With more reps than you'd get at the tournament,

this is a good chance to juice your odds.

Okay, what are my odds now?

Well, the program's still in its infancy. So...

I only have a 12% chance of winning?

Think about it. No one was able to get a point on the guy.

The last person to fight him ended up dead.

Hey.

All things considered, 12% is actually a pretty great place to build from.

And we'd be bummed if you died.

You guys ready?

All right, we are gonna start you guys off a little slow.

It takes a couple of moves to get it dialed in, all right?

Ready?

Fight.

Front roundhouse.

Good start.

Breaking and entering.

Wouldn't have expected this from Little Miss Goody Two-Shoes.

If you wanna be the best,

you can't be afraid to get your hands dirty.

My dad's a former board member, so lifetime privileges.

Things were a lot different the last time we were here.

Yeah.

We pretty much hated each other's guts.

You'd better still fight like you hate me... if you've got any shot of taking me down.

Is that so?

This is brutal. What are we gonna do?

Simple. We'll tell her she can't go.

We're her parents, right? We're within our legal right to detain her.

Honey, I'm talking about Chozen and Winnie.

That was a terrible idea on my part.

Daniel, our little girl is about to move across the world

and never speak to us again.

No. No, she's gonna call us all the time.

We may be on different continents.

When we're awake, she'll be asleep. And when she's awake, we'll be asleep.

You know how she loves to sleep in.

It'd be a miracle if she ever picks up that phone again.

I... Get... Could you, um...

- Yes? - Could you... One more.

- No. A lot more. - Here you are, ma'am.

Keep going.

How about I give you a reading?

Only thing more foolish than crystals is, uh, tarot cards.

Oh, wow, Chozen.

Was there any part of you that was looking forward to this date?

I'm sorry.

I just received letter with, uh, sad news.

Daniel and Amanda did not want to leave me alone.

So, instead of binging Storage Wars,

they insisted I come here, drink wine, and

meet stranger.

It is not your fault.

I'm really sorry you're having a bad day.

And while I appreciate them trying to set us up,

there are worse afternoons

than watching Darrell Sheets overpay for a box of used vacuum cleaner filters.

You are fan of Storage Wars?

"Yup."

My whole DVR is full of trash reality TV.

Oh, same!

- Stop! - 90 Day Fiancé.

Floribama Shore.

- Too Hot to Handle. - No.

Love After Lockup.

What about Vanderpump Rules?

Oh, must-see TV.

Do you remember James and Ally?

Oh, yes.

You know, it took a tarot reading for their love to bloom,

and they're still together.

What do you got to lose?

Okay.

Deal me in.

Flowers. Where the hell am I gonna get flowers?

Hey, man! What the hell?

Stop cutting my bushes!

Clothes...

Bam.

Hey, man!

- Oh God. - Down like that.

- Hey, man! - Whoa! Okay.

Hey.

Okay, let's run it again.

Ready? Fight!

Ais!

Something's off.

Robby's odds are dropping faster than a quantum particle

in a gravitational field.

Well, it can't be that bad.

- Oh. - Yeah.

Ais, ais, ais.

Did you over-calibrate the predictive algorithm or something?

Are you asking whether I know how to design an AI-based battle module?

Ais, ais!

Your VR overlay probably has some lag.

I'm gonna pretend you didn't say that.

How am I doing?

The AI's still calibrating, so...

Yeah, and we rushed the prototype, so maybe just...

- Just tighten the headset. It'll be fine. - Yeah.

Four percent?

The headset's not the problem.

- Nice one, LaRusso. - Thanks.

Kind of feels right, us being back up here again.

Doesn't it?

I guess so.

That's why you can't quit.

You've come so far.

We have come so far.

Would you give it a rest already? I told you I'm done.

Please, just help me understand.

Every time I put on that gi, it destroys everything that matters to me.

I get caught up in Kreese's messed-up plans.

I ruin my relationships with my friends and Robby.

I'm not doing any of that.

Ever again.

Ah. Here she comes.

Carmen, will you make me the happ...

Ah shit. False alarm, girls.

Take five.

Don't go far.

You did all this?

Yeah.

I took a cooking class.

Had a little incident with the truffles.

Kind of one of those "you break it, you buy it" situations.

Goes down better with champagne.

Not champagne.

Baby.

I want our girl to come into the world

with two parents who are in it for the long haul.

But more than anything, I really wanna marry your daughter.

Let me see!

Ay!

It was my mom's.

I stopped by Sid's today, and he agreed to give it to me.

He's still an asshole, but he's getting soft in his old age.

It's beautiful.

Um...

I'm sorry for pressure.

Baby not bastardo.

Baby lucky.

Carmen lucky.

Come.

Ay! Ay.

You think she'll like all this? Is it all right?

If from you, always right.

Oh, there she is.

Hey, Carmen.

Wait. What? Wait, wait. Now?

Like right now?

Okay, we'll be right there.

What's going on?

- Johnny? - Her water broke.

Oh!

Oh, oh. Oh, okay.

Avanza.

- Avanza. - I got it.

Avanza!

Baby's coming.

We will draw a card for your past, your present, and then your future.

Ah, my past is, uh, very complicated.

Uh, cards will not understand.

Reverse Hermit.

A severe loneliness.

You set forth with noble intentions,

but your path is challenged by life-or-death danger.

Usually of your own making.

What does next one say?

Oh.

Death card.

Ah.

I understand.

It is a metaphorical death of old self

to prepare for, uh, rebirth into new life that lies ahead, huh?

No, literally, it means that someone you know is gonna die.

- Like, very soon. - Oh.

Maybe even more than one person.

I like my interpretation better.

The Empress.

This is my future?

This card tells me that the journey you've been on will soon end,

and someone who matches your strength and resolve

will be waiting on the other side.

- Waiting for what? - That is up to you.

A partnership?

Maybe something more?

A love match?

There is someone, isn't there?

There is.

But, uh, we are from different worlds.

It is not possible.

The only thing that is not possible, Chozen,

is the journey which you do not take.

Thank you, Winnie-san.

Karii.

Karii.

So what's it like fighting with that on?

It's pretty realistic.

Probably a little too realistic.

It doesn't matter what the numbers say. Okay? You can beat Axel.

No, I know I'm a good fighter, but clearly, I'm not the best.

- The numbers prove it. - Screw the numbers.

No, I gave it everything I had last time, Miguel.

It didn't make a difference.

So you're gonna give up

just because Axel scored a couple hits, and you didn't?

What about when I beat you? How come you didn't give up then?

Because you knew how hard you worked.

You weren't gonna give up fighting just because it wasn't easy.

Okay, so forget the computer.

Numbers are for pussies. All that matters is whether you wanna win.

- Of course I do. - Then prove it.

Get your ass back out there. Training isn't over.

Wow.

It's scary how much you just sounded like my dad.

We both know sensei probably failed math, so it's not that big a stretch.

Okay.

- Be careful what you wish for. - All right. Game on.

Mind if I sit?

It's your arena.

I'm sorry for pushing.

I wasn't appreciating how hard all this is for you.

I was finally on a good track.

Then my mom died, and my whole world blew up.

I thought going back to Cobra Kai was my only option.

All it did was ruin every relationship I've ever cared about.

I'm lucky Robby and I are even talking.

If I go back to Cobra Kai, it'll be the thing that ends us for good.

You wouldn't understand.

I actually kind of do.

Miguel thinks I'm going to UCLA.

The truth is, I might be going somewhere a lot further than that.

Where?

There's this year-long program in Okinawa.

I haven't been accepted yet, so it's not final or anything, but...

I grew up hearing my dad's stories,

and Mr. Miyagi was basically my grandfather.

I've just always really wanted to go.

But I... don't know how to tell Miguel.

Just don't do what I did.

Keeping secrets from the people you love will only hurt them worse.

When you make your decision, just be honest.

You and Miguel will figure it out.

That's good advice.

So here's mine.

Nobody's gonna think badly of you for finishing this fight.

You might not have gone back to Cobra Kai in the best headspace,

but... you're not gonna lose your friends.

Or Robby.

I can promise you that we have your back... no matter what logo's on it.

Plus, I was kind of looking forward

to seeing how hard you could kick Zara in the face.

Is that like an I'm-back-in-the-tournament laugh, or...?

Don't just sit there.

Got a fight to train for.

Yes, Sensei.

Look, this was after your first karate lesson with her.

I'm gonna get the baby gi out of storage when we get home.

We could always move.

Anthony could always learn a new language. We could learn new customs and culture.

Oh my God.

Oh my God!

We gotta go.

W... wait a second. We just had three bottles of wine. I can't drive.

I can.

- What? - No, I can't.

Chozen!

- We're taking an Uber! - My good sir!

Yeah, there you go, man.

Dude, 42%!

How about I visit Pasadena in the winter, and you come to Cambridge in the spring?

Classes at Stanford in the summer.

All right.

♪ Binary Brothers ♪

How are you feeling? Okay?

I didn't miss it, did I?

No, contractions are still about six minutes apart,

so you've got a little time.

Okay? I'll be back.

Thanks, Doc. How are you feeling? Need another pillow? Let me get an extra.

Where's the emergency call button?

Oh, Johnny, I'm fine.

I'm so much better now that you're here. I'm a little scared.

Yeah?

What are you wearing?

Oh. Yeah.

I wanted the circumstances to be different,

but... there's no time like the present.

Carmen.

You're the woman of my dreams.

You made me a better man.

Can't wait to see what a badass mom you're gonna be to our girl.

You make me so happy. There's only one thing that'll make me happier.

Carmen Diaz,

will you be my wife?

Oh, Johnny.

You've changed my life completely.

And I love you.

Yes.

One thousand times yes.

All right.

Oh!

Oh, I can't wait to marry you.

I'm so glad you said that.

Guys, it's on!

Hey, man.

I know this probably isn't how you imagined your wedding.

We can do a big celebration later at Don Cuco's if you want.

Right now, I just wanna be your husband.

Everybody who I love is here.

Let's do this.

Quickly.

Dearly beloved,

we are gathered here today to celebrate the union of two remarkable people,

who will remain best friends no matter what the future brings,

who will help one another grow into stronger individuals,

who will choose to set aside their individual differences

to forge something beautiful.

Because a marriage is about family.

The people we surround ourselves with and whom we support each and every day.

By choosing to be married,

you're committing to this family that you've built

for the rest of your days.

And I can say, without question,

it's a badass family.

So, Johnny... do you take Carmen to be your wife?

Hell yeah.

I do.

Carmen, do you take Johnny to be your husband?

I do.

Then by the powers vested in me

by the state of California and the city of Burbank,

I now pronounce you husband and wife.

Johnny Lawrence, you may now kiss your bride.

Oh!

What? What?

Whoo! Baby's coming.

All right, thanks for coming. Time to get the hell out.

You're gonna do great.

Move it. Move your asses!

Hey, do you remember the night before Sam was born

when you told me our lives were gonna change forever,

and I freaked out?

You freaked out?

The only reason I didn't lose my mind was because you were so calm.

- You were right though. - Yeah.

Our lives were turned upside down and inside out.

But all said and done, I wouldn't change anything.

Me neither.

Now this next phase is gonna be full of unknowns.

But the thing that gets us through it is what always gets us through.

We're doing it together.

Aw. Ride or die, LaRusso.

Forever.

Love you.
