Stop!

The game's over.

It was this close, robby.

It was this close, robby.

This close.

That's it. He's made sanctuary.

Are you just gonna hang there all night?

Well, come on. Swing down, champion.

It's not too far for the champion.

Amy, you lost.

Now, don't be stupid.

I'm not. It's just this guy--

Damn.

Simon...

It's not fair.

Of course it is.

Of course it is.

One thing the game is is fair.

You know the rules.

Maybe next time.

No "maybes"

next time.

Robby. Robby.

Yeah?

Ok, quiet!

This one will sort you lot out.

This one will sort you lot out.

Not that it's too difficult,

just searching.

Searching for what?

Searching out

who hasn't kept up with their home reading.

Last time you said searching, miss, we all got lost.

Yes, well, this time, you'll know better.

Ok, remember, this assignment's

due next Thursday morning. 500 words, please.

500?

Ok, OK. Stomach rules.

Oh, Peter,

can you stay behind, please?

Peter?

Peter?

Yeah, yeah. Sure, miss. Yeah.

Guys, it's nothing.

Pete's cool.

Yeah, it was a good touch.

Clean coup.

I don't think Pete'll give anything away.

Well, it looks like he gave away all his soap.

Or are you using some sort of new dye

you haven't told us about yet?

Oh, what?

Oh, what?

And give myself another unfair advantage

over you guys?

Come on.

There he is.

He didn't crack.

Yeah. Just as well.

Yeah.

Come on. Don't start on that.

It's the game that counts.

Let's go, Henry. We've got work to do.

Thanks, Simon.

No. Thank you.

Yeah. We'll see you later.

Your special activities students

are falling asleep in my class.

What's that got to do with me?

Your karate classes begin at 5 A.M.

How can a student be alert all day

after starting that early?

It's discipline.

In fact, it sharpens them up

for the rest of their studies.

That's not how it seems to me.

Have you thought of sharpening up your teaching?

Now, hang on.

No, you hang on!

No, you hang on!

I don't get complaints from anyone else.

What's your problem, spane?

Disciplined.

They're exhausted!

Steve, this isn't the army.

We are not fighting a war.

Steve, this is serious to me.

I thought after everything that we--

That's finished with.

Over and done.

We agreed, remember?

To behave as 2 professionals

with a serious job. Nothing more.

That's right. We agreed.

So now, teacher to teacher,

on a totally professional basis,

on a totally professional basis,

I want you to re-think

your martial arts students' schedule.

No.

Oh, that's really professional, isn't it?

Not even to discuss it.

I committed to the classes

as they stand. So are my students.

They're also my students.

Some of your best ones, no doubt.

Yes, but that-- Exactly.

The determination, the discipline they take on

in my classes has benefits in everything else they do.

I specialize in maximizing individuals' potential.

You know that.

You know that.

You and your friends,

you still think we're living in a world

where fighting to win is the only answer.

Always having to be the best,

no matter what.

Well, the war is over.

No one in that picture is still alive.

Great.

A little wobbly at the top.

Yeah, I felt it, but I can get that out.

I know it. Good stuff.

Again? No, leave it.

Let it get in here,

'cause it's already up there.

'Cause it's already up there.

See, it's more important

that you feel you can do it

right here in your heart, in the blood,

rather than just knowing you can.

Feel the memory,

OK?

Yeah.

So what's next? Floor work.

Then we'll get rid of the wobbles.

It's Duncan. What does he want?

I'll sort it out.

You get on with the floor work, eh?

Duncan...

What do you want?

You've picked it up. Looks good.

You've picked it up. Looks good.

Oh. "Picked it up," huh?

You're very funny.

What do reckon spane wanted from Pete today?

What do they all want? More homework.

You know, she told me once

I'm in danger of falling behind?

I reckon she's got the hots for you.

What? Spane?

Yeah.

She wants your body.

Don't ask me why, though.

Oh, I don't know.

No.

No, it can't be your body.

No, it can't be your body.

I mean, let's face it.

She could have anyone she wanted.

Look, she'd have to be 30.

Yeah.

But she's pretty, don't you think?

Pretty?

You've got some competition there.

Oh, Steve. Yeah.

Almost a champion. Better watch myself.

Yeah, you better watch that, too.

No such thing as a champion on his own.

There's got to be a loser.

Could be you one day, mate.

Yes, sir.

What did Duncan want?

Who?

Guy Duncan at the door.

Oh, nothing. He lost his way.

Why don't you and Amy work on something together?

What?

What?

Yeah, a routine. You can coach each other.

Well, I suppose.

Amy?

The bird's flown. You gotta be quick.

She loads here--6 shots.

But she can take 20 if you like.

The gun can handle it.

But what's it hit like?

I mean, is it gonna kill anyone or what?

Well...

Oh, no, it's safe.

Henry and I put it through a trial.

Yeah, it's safe all right,

but I gives you a hell of a fright.

And that's just firing the thing...

Pathetic, isn't it? All he wants to do

pathetic, isn't it? All he wants to do

is play cowboys and Indians

like a kid with a water pistol.

Yeah. Keep it all long distance.

Or do it on the computer

and take turns to be the champion.

Steve said something funny today.

He reckons you and I should get together.

For some training.

Oh. Oh, yeah.

He already told me.

The problem is I'd have too much trouble slowing down

for you to catch up.

I, uh, hear you're working on a new deep coup mark.

I, uh, hear you're working on a new deep coup mark.

Hmm. Maybe.

You gonna tell me or what?

You'll just have to wait and see.

I will be this close when I use it,

but you won't even see me.

Limited vehicles with access passes only.

No pedestrians allowed.

No pedestrians allowed.

What's the matter, Brian?

You're not scared, are you, mate?

Poor little Brian.

Hey, nice earring.

What's he doing here?

What are you doing?

Just hanging around.

You'd be heading off to finish your homework, wouldn't you, Brian?

Yeah.

I've still got a job to do tonight.

I've still got a job to do tonight.

Yeah, cut him!

Get him, al.

Cut him. Come on.

Show him, al. Come on.

I'll get you this time, Mason.

What the--

You?

You're not meant to stop me.

Aah!

That's twice in one day.

You're gonna have to start looking after yourself a lot better.

I won't always be around, you know.

Hey, what's up?

Spane's got Brian.

Yeah? Why?

He's looked like death warmed up all morning,

and maybe with good reason.

Listen, perhaps the game's getting

all a little bit too serious.

I mean...

No one's meant to die.

Die?

Brian almost died? What do you mean?

Brian almost died? What do you mean?

Listen-- Look, it's nothing.

Robby marked him last night

and spane's suspicious.

Suspicious? She's like a bloodhound.

Mr. Mason.

See? What did I say?

What is "deep coup?"

Shit.

That's not exactly the answer I was after.

"Deep coup?"

It's nothing. It's a badge.

It's nothing. It's a badge.

Think he'll spill?

It doesn't matter.

It's got nothing to do with the school.

What about your schoolwork?

I'm doing OK.

Sure.

Well, what about the others?

You guys can't stay out every night

after midnight playing kids' games.

We don't. It's not every night.

How many of you that play this game

also go to karate classes?

Also go to karate classes?

Hi.

Has anyone seen robby?

Beck's looking for him in the gym.

Yeah, he's inside with spane.

What for?

Don't know.

Maybe Brian spilled his guts.

Got a little bit hairy last night.

Didn't you see Brian's face?

Yeah.

It had robby's deep coup mark on it. So?

What's it got to do with spane?

It's got everything to do with me.

I work hard to get all you guys through,

not just the smart ones who can coast it.

Yeah, but--

No buts, robby.

No buts, robby.

Your grades are starting to suffer.

Before this, I couldn't work out why.

But this game of yours at night,

karate classes in the morning--

No wonder you're not coping.

What do you mean, "not coping?"

It's like a war game, isn't it?

Kill or be killed.

No one gets killed.

No.

You mark them with dye

with your special symbol.

Yeah. It's harmless.

Yeah. It's harmless.

It's childish and dangerous.

Miss spane, you don't understand.

The game's important to us.

It's...

It's a test.

What's Steve Beck got to do with this?

Nothing.

He doesn't know anything about it.

Oh, come on, robby. This is just like Steve.

Mr. Beck has nothing to do with it.

No.

I'm sure he hasn't.

So what did she say?

So what did she say?

Anyone she sees marked who she knows plays the game

who gets less than a "b" in her class--

She'll blow the whistle on us.

She can't do that.

She can.

It won't stop the game, but it won't help it.

That's smart.

So we'll have to get "b" grades or more.

Maybe you should get out now, Pete.

What? Very funny.

So spane plays our game her way.

Hey, maybe we should invite her to play.

Oh, yeah, why not let everyone in?

Or maybe nobody.

What?

I mean, perhaps we should cancel game challenges--

I mean, perhaps we should cancel game challenges--

Just for a while.

Spane's not a problem, Henry.

Yeah, but maybe the game is.

Brian almost got killed last night.

Oh, he's always complaining about something.

Well, go on, say it.

I should have let him through,

let him make sanctuary.

Robby...

Well, I didn't. I stopped him.

That's what the rules say.

If I get deep coup, I can cut him off

anytime during the game's run.

It's the defending champion's right.

I'm the champion, aren't I?

I'm the champion, aren't I?

As long as I stop all of you.

Isn't that the game?

Yes, but look, Brian almost--

Brian this, Brian that!

He's not dead, is he?

Well, is he?

No, but it was awfully close, robby.

Awfully close.

Look, no one gets hurt playing the game.

What's wrong with you guys?

We all take chances when we're in there.

We know what we're doing.

We take risks to win.

But not dangerous chances like that.

But not dangerous chances like that.

No one's dead! No one's dying!

Now, you want to play for real or not?

Robby, nobody's accusing--

No!

I played it straight and I won.

That's final.

Come on, mate, tog up.

We've gotta get you championship perfect.

It's not a game, you know.

You OK, robby?

Yeah, fine.

Well, whatever it is, it's important not to let it get you down.

Never stop. Never pull back,

'cause there's always someone out there who wants what you've got

'cause there's always someone out there who wants what you've got

and if they ever think that you're weakened,

that's when they'll strike--

Just to see a winner dragged down.

Oh, Amy, you surprised me.

Miss spane, it's got nothing to do with you.

I'm sorry, Amy, I don't understand.

Why can't you just leave us alone?

Why can't you just leave us alone?

You're older than us. You can do whatever you want.

Amy, I'm sorry.

What is it that I can do that you can't?

Go anywhere, anytime.

You can take him.

Take who?

Look, just leave us to ourselves.

It's not fair if we can't have something of our own.

Drink.

There was a woman here last night for you.

A woman?

Yeah, good looking.

30, maybe, maybe older.

Good looking.

She seemed to know guy Duncan, too.

Yeah, well, she couldn't have wanted me.

Duncan and I don't have the same friends.

They didn't exactly look like friends, but he knew her.

I don't know.

Look, next time she's in here,

I'll point her out to you, OK?

I'll point her out to you, OK?

At least 30, my boy,

and very tasty.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

I'm sorry about today, but they're all being so negative.

I didn't get a chance to tell you,

but I'd have done the same thing with Brian.

Thanks.

Those moves that you were doing,

do you think you could show me?

Sure.

I'll be your mirror.

You have to shut your eyes.

Amy? What?

If you don't want to do it right...

Sorry.

It's not a game, it's a discipline. Steve says that--

Oh, Steve again.

Don't you ever listen to anyone else?

He taught me what I'm trying to show you.

If you want to learn anything and get it right,

you can't afford to lose concentration.

Oh, right, so when Steve says, "jump,"

oh, right, so when Steve says, "jump,"

you say, "how high?"

You're very funny.

Ha ha ha.

G'day, Luis. Coke, thanks.

Coke it is. Nothing to eat?

Raw fish? Japanese banquet.

No banquet. You want to make me a sumo wrestler?

It's karate, lui, karate.

Hey, robby, you made it.

This is still the only game in town.

Look, I'm sorry about today.

Hey, forget it.

Yeah, but I've been thinking.

What's up, Simon?

Oh, hello, robby.

Oh, everybody wants to be in the championship run.

How many runners so far?

Too many.

Well, it's an open meet, isn't it?

All comers welcome?

All comers welcome?

Yeah, I know that, but, well, you've been champion--

Too long.

Yeah, well, I'm giving it up.

What? You're not gonna play anymore--

Hey!

Not giving up the game,

giving up the championship. I'm not crazy.

Oh, well...

So nothing changes, does it?

That's right.

I'll get the championship right back.

Right. So as of tonight,

the game has no champion.

That's right. Whoo!

Hey.

Hey.

Having a party and no one told me.

I love parties.

It's not a party, guy. It's a club meeting, members only.

Yeah?

Well, maybe you just got yourself a new member.

I like the atmosphere.

Membership's closed.

Hey, the karate killer.

Why don't you go

and break a few tiles with your head?

This is a club meet.

Now, we've got business to attend here.

Yeah, well, I've got business too, roller-coaster man.

Yeah, well, I've got business too, roller-coaster man.

I got business with miss Amy.

With me?

What do you want with me?

Come and have a drink with me.

Take you for a smoke later.

I've got some good stuff.

Blow your head off.

No.

I don't think so.

Duncan, out.

I'm not talking to you, killer.

Maybe something sweeter?

Something so you'll fly through the air

with the greatest of ease.

With the greatest of ease.

I been watching you in the gym.

Nice legs.

Great ass.

Yeah, come on, killer!

Come on!

Cool it, robby, that's just what he wants.

Yeah, cool it, robby.

You don't watch out,

I'll rearrange your pretty face.

You try, anytime.

Yeah? Yeah, when you least expect it, killer.

Look, this is a private club meeting,

now please leave.

Private club.

Private club.

Kids' games.

Why don't you people try playing like grown-ups?

Especially you, miss Amy.

I'd kill him.

Yeah, but that's not what karate's about, is it?

I can look after myself. I don't need your help.

Ok, sorry.

Ok, sorry.

Guy's a gorilla.

Yeah, well, good, but I'll do my own fighting, thank you.

Right, message understood.

Keep my distance.

Final details.

Open championship meet.

The game, Wednesday the 18th, starting time, midnight.

All contestants are to enter

from the Southern or western boundaries only.

Oh, and there's no time limit, OK?

And the first contestant who reaches sanctuary

will be declared our new champion.

Will be declared our new champion.

Oh, and applications close tomorrow night.

So far... Ohh.

15 runners.

It's gonna get crowded in there.

Mm-hmm.

There's only one way to win.

Being the best.

Oh, and you better watch out, too.

Henry and I have excelled ourselves,

so, if you're trapped, you're out.

If you win, you're champion.

Get up.

Get up!

Stand, fight, or leave my dojo!

Robby, straight into your gear. You're late.

Mr. Beck...

Leave my dojo.

Steve.

Ha ha ha ha.

Whew! Nice going.

Whew, thanks.

You almost had me a few times there.

You didn't follow through.

You didn't follow through.

It was only practice.

Hey, nothing's only practice, OK?

Right.

We've got to talk.

The championship?

The championship, Wednesday night.

You ready?

Yeah, but it's a big deal.

Don't worry, I've been to hundreds.

But all those other guys-- hey.

You're a champion, aren't you?

My student.

Yeah...

No more buts!

There'll be karate teachers and their students from all over.

It's the number one kick box meet of the year,

entry by invitation only,

on television right around the country. We'll do OK!

On television right around the country. We'll do OK!

Yeah, we'll do great.

Right, winners, OK? Ok.

Good!

Hello, robby, darling, how are you? Well?

Hello, robby, darling, how are you? Well?

Of course you are. How silly of me.

We mothers do worry, you know.

Good health runs in our family, doesn't it, dear?

How's school?

They do keep me in contact.

Your grades arrive here about the same time you get them.

Your father would have been very proud of you.

The weather here is dreadful, as always.

The weather here is dreadful, as always.

You won't be surprised to hear that, I suppose.

There's nothing worse than dreadful weather to lower my spirits.

Well, I wouldn't be your mother

if I didn't have some of that contrary nature, I suppose.

People drive past, and they can't believe I'm walking in the rain...

Still, we've got a lot to thank Teddy Hodges for.

Still, we've got a lot to thank Teddy Hodges for.

I couldn't be here talking to you like this,

or see you half as often if it wasn't for...

This thing.

Steve!

Well, kid, it's finally happened.

I've met a better man than I am,

which makes him a better man than you are.

It's over, kid, over.

You're not the champion anymore.

Steve, what are you talking about?

Here he is, the new champ,

better than the rest of us all put together.

Hey, killer, you want to party? Let's party.

Yeah, let's party!

Yeah, let's party!

Better man than I am, robby. Whoo!

He takes all the prizes.

The champion.

Your father would have been very proud of you.

I told you I can look after myself.

Ooh!

Loosen up, robby, guy's got some really good stuff!

We'll get out of it. Right out of it.

To the Victor, the spoils, kiddo.

Nice legs, ass. Want to go next?

Nice legs, ass. Want to go next?

We mothers do worry, you know.

Robby.

What did I tell you?

Guy always delivers.

The best deal in town.

You want to go next, robby?

How's school?

Hey, hey, hey.

Play fair. The winner always goes first.

You're next, huh?

Robby, what's wrong?

Robby, what's wrong?

What are you doing here?

Can I come in?

Come in.

You live here alone?

I mean, your parents, uh...

Dad's dead, mum's back in London.

On holidays?

On holidays?

You could say that.

I wanted to talk to you.

Well, you're here.

Drink?

No, I uh...

Robby, how tied up with Steve Beck are you?

He's my teacher, like you.

Not quite like me.

Look, I told you, Steve doesn't know anything about the game

or nothing like that.

What's it to you, anyway?

All his students, all of you...

All his students, all of you...

There's something like a threat.

What's he telling you? Teaching you?

Survival. Winning.

What's he told you about his past?

His past? You make him sound like a criminal.

He was involved with the military,

with counter-intelligence.

He was a soldier.

What do you want from me, miss spane?

I want you to take a lot less notice

I want you to take a lot less notice

of what Steve Beck fills your head with.

Schoolwork comes first.

A lot of students follow your example, Mr. Mason,

and I want you to set the right one.

Stupid... Stupid.

I can't do this.

Why is it so hot?

You know, you're always complaining.

You know, you're always complaining.

Last week, it was too cold.

That's what I mean, hot!

You're not normal.

Students are not to enter areas designated as "teacher only."

Look at them.

The game master and his pupil.

Anytime we get close, he just changes the rules.

You're still worrying about the other night with Brian, aren't you?

You shouldn't.

Being the champion is far too important just to let go.

Yeah, but that's over. There is no champion.

Yeah, but that's over. There is no champion.

Oh, come on.

Look, I hate having to admit this,

but, uh... Well, you've always had that edge.

Amy, look, I'm sorry.

What are you talking about?

You look down.

It's nothing. The sun's making me sleepy.

Yeah, well, if you want to talk about anything, then...

It's got nothing to do with miss spane, has it?

You wouldn't have, you know.

Stopped Brian like I did.

I could have done it anywhere.

I had him marked all the way,

but I had to do it at sanctuary just to rub it in.

10 minutes until resumption.

You guys have really cooked it up, haven't you?

You guys have really cooked it up, haven't you?

What?

You and Henry, smiling like a couple of little kids.

I bet that championship course

has got more traps in it than I don't know what.

Hey, all you have to do is play the game.

That's right, isn't it, robby?

Yeah.

Just play by the rules.

The game'll look after you.

Still, with you two,

I'm going in expecting trouble.

Hey, that's what I like to hear.

Want to get into some trouble with me?

Duncan!

Duncan!

Piss off.

I'm not talking to you, killer.

Hey, the karate killer, right?

Chop chop!

The killer.

Have you got nothing better to do?

Nothing better than you, baby.

Not around this dump, anyway.

You're not welcome, Duncan. Take a walk.

You gonna make me?

Hey, hey, dunc.

Maybe you...

Yeah, listen, killer,

why don't we talk about it?

Stop it!

Come on, killer! Killer!

You want to be a killer, eh?

Leave him alone!

Hey, robby, stop it!

What do you think you're doing?

You want to tell me about it?

Nothing to tell. I slipped.

That's not what we're talking about, is it?

I slipped. Going too fast.

Why? Why what?

Why were you going too fast?

What did Duncan want?

Who? Guy Duncan.

He couldn't have got lost twice.

Oh, him.

He's an animal, always throwing his weight around in school,

picking fights.

Yeah, well, he must be running scared.

What?

He wanted me to show him some karate--

Killer blows.

Killer blows?

Yeah. I thought he wanted to join the class,

but when I got him to the office,

he said all he wanted was a few good chops.

You're joking. Nope.

You're joking. Nope.

So I told him. I'll bet.

You want to get it right this time?

Steve.

I fought Duncan today.

He pushed me. I don't know.

I broke every rule you ever taught me

about avoiding conflict.

I was angry. I wanted to hurt him, kill him.

He's scum, isn't he?

He's scum, isn't he?

Had it coming.

Waste of time, guys like that.

Well, come on, up you get.

Have another go.

You're fighting tonight as well, aren't you?

Yeah. Steve, too.

Well, what about the game?

It doesn't start till midnight.

You know what I mean.

It's not fair. You'll be tired.

Don't worry. I'll still make it.

The championship's safe.

That's not what I meant.

I'll show you.

You'd have got a big kick out of that, wouldn't you...

You'd have got a big kick out of that, wouldn't you...

Watching your boyfriend put the boot in?

No. Of course, I didn't.

Yeah, all of ya,

and your boyfriend's big hero, Mr. Steve Beck.

Robby's not my boyfriend.

Yeah, robby...

"Karate killer" Mason.

Stick around, you'll see.

When I blow the whistle,

he'll jump just like everyone else--

You, Mason, Beck-- "jump,"

you, Mason, Beck-- "jump,"

and you'll all do it.

Well, that's it. The streets are dry.

Well, go to some other streets.

How far do you think this is gonna get me?

Want me to make a fool of myself

at the championship tonight?

I don't care about--

Bring it to me tonight.

Ok.

Would the students with the following identification

please report to control office?

Please report to control office?

1-1-5-9-2-1.

1-4-7--

You'll never say anything about this,

or I'll kill ya.

You know something about me very few people know.

It's not important

it's not important

because you understand, don't you,

that if you ever say anything about this to anyone,

I'll kill you,

but first I will destroy the thing

you most love in this world.

Do you know what that is?

No.

Not many people do

until it's been taken away from them.

It's something different for everyone,

but when it's gone,

you'll know that you're as good as dead.

Well...

That's it, little girl.

School's over.

I owe you an explanation.

Look--

Please.

It won't take long.

I admit it.

I've been giving you a hard time lately.

Ok, I'm sorry,

but I can't bear to see someone be turned bad,

but I can't bear to see someone be turned bad,

have their life wasted.

Steve, Mr. Beck and I...

We were lovers, not for long.

No one guessed, and it's over.

It finished when I realized I didn't love Steve.

I was terrified of him.

Ms. spane, what's this got to do with me?

Steve's sick, robby,

not in any way you can see.

It's just his apparent strengths, his skills,

his martial arts,

his martial arts,

they've become his weaknesses.

He's let being the best take him over

until he can't bear to be anything less.

And what's wrong with that?

Don't you see? That makes him hard,

too hard, unforgiving.

What are you talking about? Steve's great.

We're always kidding around together.

He's punishing himself for something,

for being the only one left alive when the others--

He won't let himself be gentle anymore.

Steve's not bad.

I'm not bad.

Being the best,

number one,

isn't always the answer.

We all need to be gentle

with each other sometimes, robby.

Ahh.

Ahh.

Nasty taste to it, hasn't it?

What's this shit?

Talcum powder.

Just so you get used to going without

your own particular poison.

The deal's not good enough, Mr. Beck.

You want more of the real thing,

I want more money...

Lots more.

Don't be ridiculous.

What's your job worth, Beck...

75, 80 grand a year?

I want some.

You're crazy.

You're crazy.

Why should I give you--

A teacher shooting drugs like lollywater.

Every day--breakfast, lunch, dinner.

What would your "chop-chop" students think

if they knew you weren't so clean?

If they knew you'd use anything to get yourself up,

anything to look good?

Guess how much time and effort it takes to keep you supplied?

I couldn't care less. I don't need you.

You need the stuff, right?

Don't want to end up like all your soldier boyfriends,

like all your dead hero mates, do you?

Is this your special formula, Mr. Beck?

Is this how come you made it

and all your mates are dead?

I make the running, Beck.

You dance to my beat...

My shots.

You are nothing.

Hey, Mason, we're on.

Where you been, hiding or something?

Come on, Beck's not here yet.

It's time for our grade.

A powerful combination from Beck.

He's scoring points freely,

and once again proving much too strong

for his opposition.

And there is it, unanimous decision, Beck.

Our next bout is to be between Mason and Fraser.

A bit of an animal if you ask me.

He's hardly what I imagined.

He's hardly what I imagined.

Getting close to the highlight

of the evening's kickboxing championship.

There have been many exciting bouts

and some very close decisions.

However, the 2 fighters who will contest the first bout

at sixth grade level

are worthy state titleholders

as both have won their respective bouts

as both have won their respective bouts

with awesome power and truly amazing--

Being the best,

number one...

Isn't always the answer to everything.

We all need to be gentle

with each other sometimes, robby.

Don't lose your gentleness, robby.

Don't throw it away.

And now, here is the winner

of the fifth grade level, robby Mason,

a young man with great potential.

He's easily won his way through to sixth grade level.

He's easily won his way through to sixth grade level.

Good stuff, kid.

Let's give 'em a good show, eh?

You killed him.

That last guy? Yeah. Lousy technique.

Duncan.

Guy Duncan.

You killed him.

What are you talking about?

What are you talking about?

Steve, I saw you.

I saw you.

Why?!

The 2 skilled combatants

size each other up, and the bout begins.

There's only one way out of here, kid.

There's only one way out of here, kid.

Why?

Shut up about that!

You don't know anything about that.

Steve, I can help.

Don't bother.

Don't try.

I don't want anything from anyone.

...Aware at home that the 2 opponents

are master and pupil,

Steve Beck also being the current state titleholder.

This has not deterred Beck from undertaking--

Hey, Beck's not pulling any punches.

Hey, I thought you weren't meant to touch each other.

Oh, that's only in practice.

This is the real thing, you realize.

Simon, don't you think it looks too real?

I mean, I know that it's a championship--

Hey, that robby sure can fight.

Hey, that robby sure can fight.

Maybe I'll make something special,

call it after him.

He's a masterful aggressor.

Oh, another high kick from Beck

has Mason reeling.

The boy is definitely struggling.

Come on, robby.

The power of Beck has a quality

of viciousness and strength

of viciousness and strength

that you can't help but admire.

Beck seems unashamedly determined

to prove his superiority,

as it seems he had the opportunity

to finish the bout on a number of occasions.

Something strange has happened here.

The judges are calling a halt to the bout.

What could this mean? The police--

We will return as soon as possible.

What's going on? What happened?

We will return as soon as possible.

We will return as soon as possible.

You OK?

Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

We will return as soon as possible.

We will return as soon as possible.

We will return as soon as possible.

Thank you, Mr. Beck. You can go now.

We're getting nowhere.

Did you see anything?

You went to school with him, didn't you?

I've got a report here

that says you went to school with him.

Are you listening to me?

You all right, son?

You all right, son?

Zone 3 boundaries have not been extended.

Curfew will apply in 15 minutes.

Quick, get on!

That lunatic might come back.

He was trying to kill you.

No, it was a fair fight.

What about the car? I know who was driving, robby.

What about the car? I know who was driving, robby.

You don't know anything about anything.

I've gotta go.

Why was Steve trying to kill you?

He wasn't!

Where'd you put my bag?

Sit down, robby!

I don't know what happened tonight,

what really happened, but you can't leave it any longer.

We'll go to the police right away.

No. I've got to defend the championship tonight.

Guy Duncan's dead.

Are you serious?

You'd put a kids' game

in front of a human life.

Duncan's dead!

He was scum. He had it coming.

I haven't got the time now. I've got to go.

You stay right there!

You stay right there!

I'll call them, get them 'round here.

Hello, police?

Yes, an emergency.

Clouds, above clouds,

and hurry.

Robby.

There he is.

He's late.

I hope his karate hasn't worn him out.

He's the best champion we've had since you retired.

Yeah, well, the game's always changing.

Not sure even I would want to take him on these days.

Right, well, everyone's in.

We can relax.

We can relax.

Robby!

Are you OK? What happened?

Nothing.

What's wrong?

I just wanted to see if you were all right.

I'm OK.

Well, see you in there.

Hang on.

Company.

That's Beck's car.

What's he doing here?

What's he doing here?

Wait and see.

Who knows?

Maybe he wants to play.

What's he doing?

Just sitting there.

He's going in.

What's robby up to?

I don't think robby's got anything to do with this.

You're just going to have to go and get him out.

He's gonna ruin the championship.

Hey, don't worry.

Hey, Mr. Beck.

Aah!

Got you!

Damn! Peter's here.

Hey, did you see Henry?

I never even saw this.

That from Henry?

No.

Aah!

Damn.

Damn.

Where did you come from?

Henry.

Jeez.

Robby...

He's gotta be after robby.

Open up, police!

Get me down!

Will you get me down?!

Get me down!

Look, if Beck's serious,

then we're gonna have to warn everyone.

Then we're gonna have to warn everyone.

He's serious, but why?

Look, I'll go back in, spread the word.

You guys calls the cops.

No!

They'll close down the game.

Simon, Beck's trying to kill somebody.

Go in and get everyone out.

Si--

We can't lose the game!

Steve?

Steve?

Hold it. Game's over.

Beck's after robby. He needs our help.

Let's go.

Local 7. We're supposed to meet at local 7.

Ok, let's go.

Beck's gone berserk. We've got to find robby. Come on!

Shh. Shh. Quiet, quiet.

What are you doing here?

Shut up and listen.

Come on. Help me.

Beck's after robby. Come on, follow me.

Let's go!

Beck's in there after robby, isn't he?

He'll kill him.

Someone get that ambulance over here, quick.

Ok, OK, Ms. spane. We'll look after this now.

Get a doctor over here on the double!

Simon, how long have they been in there for?

'Bout half an hour.

It's 27 minutes, OK?

Ohh.

Ohh.

We go in when the power's on.

The boy will be dead by then.

Ms. spane, you tell me.

Where the hell do we start?

All right, you men, stay close

until we get some light in this place.

Steve, I can help.

It was an accident.

Aah! Ahh! Aah!

Aah! Aah! Aah!

Steve, don't.

Steve, don't.

Get out. You'll be hurt.

No! Stop!

Stay back!

Don't!

Amy, stay here.

Don't lose them.

We've got 'em.

He's nearly finished.

This whole place will light up when he does.

He's goin' up there.

Where's Simon? What about Amy?

Where is he?

Is anybody hurt?

Where's Henry? Have you seen Henry?

Where is he? He's on the roof.

These guys are cracked.

What the hell is going on here?

What the hell is going on here?

Amy.

You might have killed her.

Steve.

Steve.

Run!

No!

Aah!

If the helicopters can't find them,

what chance have we got?

They're still in here, so are we.

We'll get them.

Lieutenant...

We've been running around in circles.

Steve.

Steve, we can beat this.

Not this time, eh.

Steve!

Noooo!

Get him down.

Well, what are you waiting for?!

Get him down!

Are you just gonna hang there all night?

Well? How long do I have to wait?

The historical controversy

over just who did write Shakespeare's plays,

has been going on

since halfway through his life.

Since halfway through his life.

Now maybe we can put this down to contemporary jealousy,

but later, in the centuries that followed,

whole schools of opinion

sprang up to support rival claims,

not many of which made any sense,

but the strongest identified Francis bacon,

who also lived in the reign of Elizabeth I,

as Shakespeare's ghostwriter.

Welcome back, Henry.

You can talk to your rowdy schoolmates after school.

How's the game going?

I suppose robby's still the champ.
