Original subtitles

Sir, I need you to relax, please.

Do you know who you are?

Uh...

- Can you tell me your name?

- I...

- Lie back down.

Call that detective.

Tell him his John Doe is awake.

Good news.

Looks like it's just a pulled muscle.

- It may ache, but you'll be fine.

- Thank God.

So does that mean

that I can keep fighting?

They've given you 30 minutes to recover.

So let the pain guide you.

If it's telling you to sit this one out,

I'd listen. I'll get you an ice pack.

- Thank you.

- Mm-hm.

- How's it feel now?

- Not bad. Just a little sore.

Miggy, you don't have to continue.

Don't worry, Mom.

If something feels off, I won't fight.

- Make sure he's okay.

- Of course.

Listen.

You were so good out there.

Especially when you kicked

that one kid in the face.

Thanks, Grandma.

Ciao.

All right. We've got a half hour.

Show your back who's boss.

Robby Keene is ahead 1-0

as he and Demetri Alexopoulos

battle it out for a trip to the finals.

Point. Keene.

Score, 2-0.

Go to your senseis.

All right.

I had a hard enough time beating him

when he was on

the good side of the Force.

Now that he's gone all Sith,

I feel like a helpless Jedi youngling

about to get slaughtered.

Well, you're taller.

You have the high ground.

That's how Obi-Wan beat Anakin.

All right,

just remember your fundamentals.

Breathe in, breathe out, breathe through.

You got this. Come on, Demetri.

Let's go.

On your marks.

Ready.

And fight!

That's a block. No point.

Point.

Winner.

Okay.

He's pretty good.

So are you.

- Thank you.

- Come on.

All participants

in the girls' semifinals,

please report to the center mat.

Matches begin in five minutes.

Uh, hey, dude.

I, uh...

I saw your match out there.

Uh...

Uh, and, you know,

I saw Robby compete last year.

He's, uh...

- You know, he's one of the best.

- What do you want?

Um, I guess I just wanted to say that

I'm sorry, okay?

For all the... For all the shit I did.

It wasn't cool.

And I guess I was just trying--

To impress your friends by picking

on the new kid who didn't have any.

Yeah. Yeah, okay, I'm sorry.

I just-- I can imagine

what it must have felt like.

You can imagine?

Okay, go ahead.

- Uh, go ahead and...?

- Tell me how it felt.

Well, like, not great.

Then you wouldn't know.

Because no one's ever been

such a piece of shit to you!

Maybe it's time you found out.

How does that feel, LaPusso?

Not great? Man, get up, get up!

What the hell are you doing?

Just getting payback on the kid

who thought he could bully me

and get away with it.

- Anthony LaRusso was your bully?

- Not anymore.

Do you hear that?

Get ready for high school next year

because you're gonna be

in a world of pain.

Hey.

- This is not how I trained you.

- It's Cobra Kai.

No mercy.

- Anthony, are you okay?

- I'm fine. Just leave me alone.

- Anthony--

- I said leave me alone!

This semi-final match

has been all Cobra Kai.

Tory Nichols is on her way

to the big dance.

Winner!

Oh, it's gonna be

a battle for the ages,

because here comes

Samantha LaRusso and Miyagi-Do.

Point! Winner!

The girls' final is set.

- How's the boy?

- Like you give a shit.

Look, what...

what happened with Terry

back in the old dojo,

I didn't know he was gonna do that.

- I don't have time for this shit.

- It didn't have to be this way.

You could have been with me

and your real son.

You don't care about Robby

any more than you cared about me.

Bullshit.

- I cared more about you than anyone.

- You had a funny way of showing it.

You forced me to fight dirty.

Sweep the leg.

You have a problem with that?

No, Sensei.

No mercy.

You sacrificed my soul

so Cobra Kai could stay number one.

That is not true.

I wanted you to be number one.

But you were down 2-0.

And you were about to be beaten.

And I knew that would take you

into a downward spiral.

And I was right.

Because no matter what people say,

it does matter whether you win or lose.

And if I can help Robby win,

he'll remember it

for the rest of his life.

And maybe someday,

he can be the one

to keep Cobra Kai going.

No, that's never gonna happen.

Because tonight, Cobra Kai's gonna die.

The remaining boys' semi-final match

will resume in 5 minutes.

Here, rub some of this on.

We have to hurry.

Sensei, I don't know if I can do this.

Yes, you can.

You can do whatever you want

if you want it bad enough.

Look, I know you're not 100%,

but you got the heart of a champion.

Everything you've learned

and been through

was just a warm-up for this moment.

It's time to show the world

what you're made of.

Give it your all. Do what I tell you,

and we'll not only take down Cobra Kai,

we'll show LaRusso and everybody else

who's really the best.

- That's what this is about.

- Hey.

We're not gonna get another shot at this.

It's now or never.

You know what's at stake, right?

If we lose, I'm not your sensei anymore.

You want that?

- No.

- All right, then prove it. Fight for it.

Show me you're not a kid anymore.

All right?

Show me you're ready to be a man.

Can you do that?

Yes.

- Sensei.

- All right, good.

Rub that on.

You got this. I'll see you out there.

Cobra Kai and Miyagi-Do

are neck-and-neck on the leaderboard.

But there's a dark horse...

Or should I say a dark bird?

...that still has a chance.

Will Eagle Fang Karate stay alive

in our dojo race?

- We're about to find out.

Miguel Diaz has one minute

to return to the mat!

Countdown clock?

- Kind of dramatic, isn't it?

- Yeah, it's the All Valley.

He's really taking it

down to the wire, huh?

Ten, nine, eight, seven,

six, five,

four, three, two, one!

Well,

it looks like

Miguel Diaz is not gonna fight.

Which means

that the winner by default

is Eli Moskowitz,

who advances to the final

where he will face Robby Keene.

The finals are up next.

Johnny. What happened?

I blew it.

- Where's Miguel?

- I don't know.

I came back. He's not in there.

He's probably afraid to see you

because he thinks he let you down.

No, I'm the one that let him down.

No.

Congrats.

Heard you made it to the finals.

What happened to you? Are you okay?

Yeah. I'm fine.

It just felt like

I wasn't fighting for me anymore.

I get that.

I feel pressure from my dad all the time.

Yeah, except that

Johnny isn't my dad.

Anyways, uh, I just wanted

to wish you good luck.

And let you know--

All finalists,

please report to the center mat.

I gotta go. But I'll see you

out there rooting for me, right?

I'm always rooting for you, Sam.

Ladies and gentlemen,

the wait is finally over.

It's finals time!

Since Cobra Kai scored the most points,

they only need to win one match

to be crowned Grand Champion.

But...

if Miyagi-Do wins both matches,

the title is theirs!

Ooh, high drama!

Up first, the boys' fight!

Good luck to all of our fighters!

Let's go!

This is it.

Time to show LaRusso and your father

that you don't need them.

That you're strong enough on your own.

My chance to get back at Robby

for what he did to me.

This fight is not about him.

The biggest battle

is always the one within.

Okay, concentrate,

defense, focus, power.

You find your balance,

and those points will come. All right?

Competitors.

Go out there. Go get him.

Face this way. Bow.

Face each other. Bow.

Ready and fight!

Point! One-zero, Keene.

- Let's go, baby!

On your marks.

Time out.

He knows all my moves.

He trained at Miyagi-Do

way longer than me.

And you were in Cobra Kai

longer than him.

You each know each other's karate

better than anyone. Put him on defense.

Ready? And fight!

Point, Miyagi-Do!

On your marks.

Go, Eli!

Score, 1-1.

Ready?

And fight!

No point. Blocked.

Continue.

Continue.

No point. Blocked.

No point. Continue!

- Back to your sides.

Unbelievable!

These two amazing competitors

have reached their three-minute

time limit in a 1-1 tie!

Which means their

championship match will be decided,

for the first time since 1985,

by sudden-death overtime!

Let's go!

Go to your senseis.

You're showing him respect.

This fight should be over by now.

Do you wanna fight him?

You're angry.

Good.

Use it.

That was incredible!

Any advice on the last point?

Give him all you got.

Competitors, to the mat.

Next point wins.

Good luck, gentlemen. Ready?

And...

Fight!

No point.

Continue.

- No point! Continue.

- It's okay.

Come on.

Come on!

Point! Winner!

Yeah!

Your boys' champion, Eli Moskowitz!

Yeah!

And with that, Miyagi-Do

vaults into the overall lead!

It all comes down to the girls' final,

coming up next.

Yeah!

Robby.

You all right?

Yeah.

Focus on your fight. I just, um...

I just need to clear my head.

I, uh, guess it all comes down

to the final match.

- Yeah, I have to get back in there.

- I, uh, spoke to Dr. Hillier.

She said you've been keeping up

with your appointments.

Yeah, she helped me find a volunteer

to help with my mom.

Thanks, I owe you for that.

Well, then you can pay me back now.

By making sure Sam doesn't get hurt.

- It's karate. How can I promise--?

- I'm not asking you to back down.

I just want you to play by the rules.

Even if I still don't understand them.

Okay, I'm gonna go out there

and root for my daughter. But...

what I'm really rooting for

is that this fight finally puts an end

to all this bullshit between you two.

My money's on Sam.

I don't know.

Nichols is on the warpath.

Johnny.

What do you want?

I want your help.

Look, you and I may be set in our ways,

but these kids, they're still growing.

They can learn from both of us

and use what we teach them

to create their own way.

I guess I didn't want that

to happen because I cared

so much about

honoring Mr. Miyagi's legacy.

But I forgot

one of his most important lessons.

Just like bonsai choose own way grow

because root strong,

you choose own way do karate,

same reason.

Yeah, but I do it your way.

Hai. One day, you do own way.

I was scared of the influence

you were having on Sam.

But I see now

some of what you teach

can be good sometimes.

I'm sorry I didn't realize that sooner.

I'm sorry too.

I saw you and Miguel bonding

and I freaked out.

I was afraid of losing that connection.

Now I'm paying the price for it.

I should've just let him train with you.

He would've been a stronger fighter.

Well, since it seems the water

is flowing back under the bridge,

what do you say we team up again?

You want me to help Miyagi-Do win?

Miyagi...

Fang. Just for today.

Let's do this.

What better way to cap off

this exciting exhibition of karate

than with a final match for the ages?

Representing Cobra Kai,

the Queen Cobra herself,

Tory Nichols!

Coached by her senseis

John Kreese and Terry Silver.

And representing Miyagi-Do Karate,

the Bonsai Badass, Samantha LaRusso!

Coached by her father and sensei,

two-time All-Valley champion

Daniel LaRusso,

who I've just been informed

will be joined

by Sensei Johnny Lawrence.

So wait--

Oh!

I stand corrected.

Fellow two-time All-Valley champion,

Sensei Johnny Lawrence!

- Let's go!

Don't worry about them.

You've been fighting all your life.

Now it's time

for all that struggle to pay off.

Use all that fire inside you.

Yes, Sensei.

Hey.

Good luck.

Head in the game, Nichols.

- All right. Ready to kick some ass?

- Yes, Sensei.

If that's okay with my other sensei.

I want you to win more than anyone.

Whether it's defense

or offense, Miyagi-Do or Eagle Fang.

I want you to be you.

Just make sure

you keep your anger in check--

Uh, sorry. You were saying?

Go kick some Cobra Kai ass.

Competitors, take your positions.

- LaRusso!

- Come on, Sam.

Ladies, good luck. Face this way. Bow.

Face each other. Bow.

Ready?

And fight!

- Point!

- Yes!

LaRusso. Score, 1-0.

Holy shit!

What was that?

A flying tornado kick.

She's not using Miyagi-Do.

- She's fighting aggressive.

- Then you get more aggressive.

I've seen what's inside you. Let it out!

Come on!

Ready?

And fight!

Point, Nichols! Score 1-1.

Ready?

Fight!

Point! Two-one, Nichols.

Damn it!

I'm attacking but it's not working.

What style should I use?

Yours. Trust your instincts.

Use everything you've learned from me

and Sensei Lawrence. All of it.

Your dad's right.

Every now and then.

Come on, Sam!

Ready?

And fight!

No point. Blocked.

No point. Out of bounds.

- What?

Come on, Ref!

She went out after she got hit!

Yes!

Ready?

And fight!

Point, LaRusso.

Score's 2-2.

Next point wins. Ready?

Fight!

That's a block. No point!

Warning. Elbow to the face.

- Go to your senseis.

- Warning? Should be a point deduction!

- I didn't mean to. No, it was an accident.

- Go to your senseis.

- You all right?

- She got me good, but I can still fight.

She comes in like that again,

give her a shot to the other eye.

- She can't see, she can't fight.

- Won't I get disqualified?

Why? She ran into your elbow.

Do exactly what you just did,

disguise it in a counter.

Worst you'll get is another warning.

Trust me.

This ref will never end the match

on a technicality.

It was an accident.

I don't need to cheat to win.

That's not fair. I got second place.

Second place

is no place. You're off the team.

You're nothing. You lost. You're a loser.

- You suck.

- Yeah?

Hey, come on, man!

Don't!

Come on, who's the loser now?

- You suck!

- Come on!

Who's the loser? I don't hear ya!

Since when do you disobey an order?

Let her do what she wants.

You've come this far.

This is your fight now.

So whatever happens,

it's up to you.

Ready?

And fight!

Point. Winner!

Hey. You all right?

What a match!

You all right?

What a match!

- Good effort.

Give it up for your first female champion,

Tory Nichols!

And the winner

of the Grand Champion trophy

and still the baddest dojo in the Valley,

Cobra Kai!

Thank you. Thank you.

We couldn't be prouder

of our hard-won victory.

And we're just as proud to announce

we'll soon be opening

Cobra Kai franchises

throughout the entire Valley,

so every one of you

young men and women here

can be part of our championship dojo

and learn Cobra Kai's Way of the Fist!

- Thank you!

- Cobra Kai, Cobra Kai!

Cobra Kai, Cobra Kai, Cobra Kai!

We did the right thing

and we still didn't win.

I'm sorry.

It's not your fault.

Sam.

Johnny.

One of the parents

saw Miguel get in an Uber.

What's an Uber?

It's like a taxi.

He left before the finals.

Shit. I'm so sorry. It's all my fault.

I'm sure he just wants to be alone.

We're gonna head home.

Okay. You guys go. I'll meet you there.

Some days I just wish

we could have a do-over.

I know the feeling.

Cobra Kai, Cobra Kai, Cobra Kai!

Hey! Hey, victory party at my place.

Queen Cobra, you coming or what?

- Yeah. I just gotta grab my bag.

- All right. Cool. Guys, let's go!

Cobra Kai, Cobra Kai, Cobra Kai!

I almost thought you were gonna

back out of our deal a few times.

You know what? You played it just right.

No one suspects a thing.

The money will be in your account

tomorrow morning.

Thank you, Mr. Silver.

What the hell?

Robby?

What's going on?

I followed you.

What happened here?

Moving to a new location.

Multiple locations, I think.

You kicked ass today.

- Could've gone either way.

- Yeah.

Thanks.

Hey.

It's just a match.

Don't let it eat you up. Trust me.

It's not that. Um...

It's this kid,

Kenny.

I thought I could take him under my wing.

Be the mentor

I wish I had when I was younger.

But when I saw him today, it, uh...

It's like looking in a mirror.

I realized I screwed everything up.

I had all this hate inside of me.

For you and for Miguel.

And I thought

I could use Cobra Kai to control that.

But it just made things worse

and now it's never gonna get better.

That's not true.

You had a good thing going

with LaRusso.

I got in the way of that.

Don't blame yourself. You blame me.

I'm sick of blaming you, Dad.

It's gonna be all right.

We'll figure this out.

Okay?

1998 Bollinger.

Been sitting in my cellar for years,

waiting for the right moment

to be dusted off.

Not unlike yourself.

Touché.

I gotta give you credit, John.

You reawakened something in me.

Something I forgot was there.

And I'll always be grateful for it.

Told you.

To Cobra Kai.

The number one dojo in the Valley.

I gotta say,

I'm surprised you backed off

on Nichols in the finals.

That's not like you.

Well, what can I say?

I had a moment of sympathy.

That's a first.

You remember

when you asked me

what I thought your weakness was?

It's Johnny Lawrence.

That's what this was all about, right?

It was never about us teaming up

or bringing back the glory days.

That was all bullshit.

- That's not true.

- Yes, it is.

And I fell for it.

You know why?

Because everyone has a weakness,

John.

And mine

is you.

You think that I'm your weakness?

Well, you've got it backwards,

because I am your strength.

I have been your strength

ever since Vietnam.

Yes! There it is.

I can always count

on you playing the guilt card.

How many times do you expect me

to repay that debt before we're square?

What did you do?

It's okay, Raymond.

The man who did this

can't hurt you anymore.

Give me his name and I promise you

I'll put him away for a long, long time.

You wanna be Cobra Kai, huh?

Yes.

You wanna be Cobra Kai?

I'll make you Cobra Kai.

But you gotta do something for me.

His name is Sensei...

Kreese. John Kreese.

I'm shedding my weakness,

Captain.

John Kreese, you're under arrest

for aggravated assault

and attempted murder.

- You have the right to remain silent.

- John, what did you do?

- Hands behind your back. Come on.

Hey!

John, take it easy.

Don't worry about a thing.

I'm sure I can dig up an old friend or two

to help out with Cobra Kai

while you deal with your legal problems.

You're gonna regret this.

I am Cobra Kai.

- Put him in the car!

Move!

And don't worry about Lawrence.

I'll take good care of him too.

What's going on?

Show him the note.

Mom, I'm sorry

for leaving a note like this,

but I thought it was the best way,

maybe the only way,

to say what I have to say.

The last few months

have been a roller coaster.

My injury,

rehab,

me and Sam,

Sensei and Mr. LaRusso.

I convinced myself

that I could get over all of that

by focusing on the tournament.

I thought that if I won

that everything would work out.

But I was wrong.

Tell Sensei that I'm sorry I bailed.

His karate helped me grow,

but I'm still not sure who I wanna be.

And to figure that out, I think

I need to know where I came from.

Sensei was scared

to find out the truth about his past,

and, honestly, I am too.

But overcoming that fear

is the fight I have to face.

Instead of competing for a trophy,

I need to meet my father.

This is something I have to do.

Please try not to worry.

I'll be safe and I'll be back soon.

I love you, Mom. And Yaya too.

I called the police.

I don't know what else to do.

Everything's gonna be fine.

I'm gonna find him.

I'll make sure he's safe.

Johnny.

There's something

I didn't tell you about my ex-husband.

I know.

You said he's a bad dude.

Don't worry. I can handle myself.

And I'm sure he'd never hurt his own son.

That's just it.

He doesn't know Miguel exists.

I just want my baby back home safe.

I'll make sure of it.

All right? I promise.

I did everything I thought was right.

I followed all of the Miyagi-Do teachings.

I even put aside my rivalry

and teamed up with Johnny.

None of it worked.

Now I'm supposed to give up my dojo

and step down as a sensei.

But there's too much at stake

to honor an agreement

made with men who have none.

If Cobra Kai is gonna keep growing

and getting stronger,

I need to do whatever it takes

to stop them.

Even if that means going on offense.

I know this isn't your fight

and this is a lot to ask...

but will you help me

finally put an end to Cobra Kai?
