WARDEN: Hello.

My name is Warden Cetan.

And this is Hkantaut Prison.

[BIRDS CAWING]

Every inmate that
comes through this gate

is either serving
a life sentence

or awaits execution
on death row.

For the very first time,

please join us
inside the walls of Hkantaut

as champions fight
for a new chance at life.

these are the same guys.

They're making the rounds.

Okay, see?
This is what I'm talking about.

There's no police presence
anywhere.

WOMAN: [SCREAMS] Hey, is that--

Give me--
Give me my meds!

- THUG: No!
- WOMAN: [SHRIEKS]

Give me my fuckin'... Hey!

Give me my fuckin' medicine!

How important is it?[SOBS]

You're willing to
die for this shit?

- WOMAN: Leave me alone!
- What the hell are you doing?

- Just call it in.
- Charlie!

- WOMAN: Stop!
- Call it in, Wells.

Shit!

Hey!

Get the hell away from her!

Hey, give her her medicine!
Get the hell out of here!

Fuck off, lady!

Look, I am a journalist.

I have footage of
this entire thing

and my partner
has already called the police.

- Really?
- Yeah.

So, I suggest you get out
of here before the cops arrive.

Mm.

So, what you gonna do about it?

OPERATOR:
9-1-1, what's your emergency?

You're done. It's done.

We've got to go.
We got to get out of here.

[POLICE SIREN WAILING

WELLS: Jesus!

[PHONE RINGING]
Separated mandible.

- Shattered cheekbone.
- I know it looks bad,

but I was protecting this woman
from imminent danger,

and then they attacked me.

You inserted yourself
into imminent danger.

Wells told you what happened.

What was I supposed to do?

Just sit there and watch
this woman get stabbed?

Wait for law enforcement
to show up,

like you've been trained to do.

The minute you get all kung fu,

the story becomes about you

and not the bad guy.

I have to suspend you.

Two weeks, unpaid leave.
It's out of my hands.

Wait, what? Now I'm going to get
fired for protecting this woman?

No, I didn't say that.

Corporate is trying to
get ahead of it.

They are concerned
about a lawsuit.

Well, corporate
should be more concerned

with releasing a story
that is gonna save lives.

They're having me
pull you off the story too.

You cannot be serious.

Liz, come on, I've been
working on this for weeks.

Our insurance carrier requires
an internal investigation.

Liz... [SIGHS] Oh, my God.

What do you want me to say?

Call it a vacation,
if that helps.

This is bullshit.

I did the right thing,
and you know it.

I know your heart
is in the right place,

but I am telling you,

your inability to
control your anger

is starting to have
real consequences.

This is not the first time
we've had this conversation.

[EXHALES]

[DOOR SHUTS]

[GRUNTS][GRUNTS]

[LAUGHS]

[BOTH GRUNT]

Your conditioning sucks.

Yeah, fuck you too.

[GRUNTS][GRUNTS]

You left the door wide open.

Yeah, well, I had a rough night.

[GROANS, LAUGHS]

Still...

your takedown defense
is an embarrassment.

Well, that's why
I'm a journalist.

Thought you were
a crusader for the homeless.

You're such a dick.

So, how long are you
suspended for?

Do you want to talk about it?

- What do you think, Jack?
- Okay.

Did you hear back
from that company yet?

- Venum? Yeah, last week.
- And?

They're interested in doing
something with the gym

as long as I keep
winning fights.

Hey. That's fucking--
that's great!

Yeah. Yeah, it's something.

Hey, you got a minute?

I got all the time in the world.

Come on,
I wanna show you something.

It's the deed to the building.

Yeah. It needs to be transferred
into one of our names

in order to settle Mom's estate.

- Okay.
- JACK: There's a problem.

His name's on it.
Of course it is.

The lawyers say that
we can't transfer title

without his signature.

So... let's just have him
declared legally dead.

Dad's not dead.

Well, he might as well be.

Look, I know
this is a sore subject...

No, it's not
a sore subject, Jack.

It just...
It's a pointless conversation.

And I don't want to deal
with this right now.

Charlie! Hey! Seriously?

Maybe it's time
we give this place up.

My first memories are of
Dad training fighters here.

We practically
grew up in this gym,

Charlie, this place
means a lot to me.

Well, I wish I could say
I shared the same fond memories.

JACK: Charlie...

What, Jack? What is your plan?

You want to just
swing by the prison

and ask him to sign it?

It's already cleared.

[SIGHS] And if he doesn't?

Max doesn't care
about you or me, or anyone.

People do change, Charlie.

He-- He's been in there,
like, 20 years.

You're too young
to remember what he was like.

And you've built him up to be
this great guy, and he's not.

Like, he's the guy
who gets caught with drugs

in a foreign country
and abandons his family.

People like that,
they don't change, Jack.

Narcissists never change.

I mean, just...

look what it did to Mom.

I gotta do it.

If you give him any chance
to screw us, he will.

You give him way too much power.
He's in prison.

[SIGHS]

[HESITATES] Okay, if he says no,
you know what we do?

We turn around,
and we come home.

What if I told you

that I already
bought you a plane ticket?

I would tell you
that was stupid.

- Did you?
- We leave in two days.

- Jack!
- What else are you gonna do?

You don't have a job!

Charlie, come on. Please.
I don't want to do this alone.

- Fine. I'll go. Okay.
- Okay?

- Okay, all right.
- CHARLIE: Okay, okay.

It's a bad idea.

You're welcome.

Bolo gets one of these
every night,

so make sure you
rotate the flavors.

You really think
it's a good idea

to be leaving in the middle
of an investigation? [CHUCKLES]

Cans go in recycling.

CHARLIE: [SIGHS, MUMBLES]

"Shrimp and lobster"?

So, this prison
is in Thailand?

No, Hkantaut Prison
is actually in Myanmar,

but Jack has us
flying into Bangkok.

WELLS: When are you coming back?

Well, Jack is in charge
of the itinerary, so...

WELLS: That must be
driving you crazy.

CHARLIE: Ooh.

It'll probably be a week.

So, in theory, I could be
cat sitting Bolo for months.

Hey, I want you
to send me those files.

Not gonna happen.

Why?

WELLS: Do you even
want to keep your job?

Come on, Wells,

we've been working
on the story for weeks.

I just want to see it
through to the end with you.

You're not playing
the game, Charlie.

If you want to get things done,
you gotta play by their rules.

Optics matter.

Please don't lecture me
on optics, all right?

Just send me the files.

Okay, what else? Oh!

I need to FaceTime
with Bolo each morning,

which is nighttime here.

It's a cat, for Christ's sake.

And this cat gets very sad
if we don't talk,

so promise me, Wells.

- I promise, I promise.
- CHARLIE: Thank you.

What's the name
of the hotel again?

It is the Riva Arun
on the river.

Maybe text that to me?

Okay, Dad.

[BOLO MEOWS]

Oh, it's just my little Bolo!

[GASPS] You are so handsome.

All right, you be good
for Wells, okay?

I'll miss you.

Okay, FaceTime.

Every night.

Yeah, I got it.

Oh, stay out of my fridge.

[SPEAKS THAI]

CHARLIE: [IN ENGLISH] Thank you!

JACK: Hey, I'm really happy
you're here, sis.

Well, someone's gotta
look after you.

- Don't point that thing at me.
- JACK: Why?

[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS]
I'm serious, stop.

Cut it out.

What? You afraid
it'll steal your soul?

CHARLIE: No.

That asshole James at KTD

ran our entire story
on the thug incident.

You have any idea what it's like
to be turned into a gif? Hm?

Well, it's good
you're here then.

Let's not pretend
like this is for my benefit.

Come on, when's the last time
you took a vacation?

Look at this place.
It's beautiful, isn't it?

Did you know that
the city is actually

sinking two centimeters
every year?

Well, we better enjoy it then.

I'm working on it.

- Good.
- Here, want some?

Yeah.

So, how long did you say
the drive was?

A few hours.

A few?

Three.

To the border.

Oy.

Well, I guess we should go
get the shitty part over with.

Shall we?

Let's do it.

[VEHICLE APPROACHING]

Thank you.

[GROANS]

You're gonna thank me
when this is over.

Okay, Jack.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER OVER RADIO]

[SIGHS]

JACK: Thank you.

It's like the entrance
to your apartment.

I didn't get into journalism
for the money.

I know.
You did it to beat up bums.

Too soon?

Are you sure
you want to do this?

Demons get stronger
the more you ignore them, sis.

[SIGHS]

JACK: Thank you.

[BUZZER RINGS]

[BUZZER RINGS][DOOR SHUTS]

I'm just gonna
wait for you outside.

- JACK: Charlie, please.
- I really don't want to

- talk to him, Jack.
- JACK: Okay.

Just... Can you stay
with me, then? Please?

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

[DOOR CREAKS OPEN]

Hey, Dad.

Been a while, Jack.

I don't know exactly
what to say or...

where to start.

How's my gym?

Your gym?

Your mother sell it?

JACK: No, she didn't sell it.

Well, that's a...
that's a surprise.

Actually, she's passed away.

Sorry.

Yeah. Well...

two packs of cigarettes,
a bottle of wine.

Every day for 30 years.

I'm not surprised.

- Fuckin' asshole.
- Charlie. Hold on a minute.

I'm not gonna sit here
and listen to his bullshit.

[FOOTSTEPS RECEDING]

JACK: Char...

[BUZZER RINGS]

[DOOR SHUTS]

I have been waiting
a long time...

for you to visit.

I got this picture.

It's a little faded.

I think you were eight.

And... I think she was 13.

What's with the briefcase?

Actually, I've been
running the gym.

Training fighters and...

I've been trying to turn
the place around for...

one or two years now.

That's good.

JACK: Anyway...

We need your signature
on the deed

in order to transfer title
to one of our names.

It could be Charlie or me.

It doesn't really matter.

Really?

Yeah.

This is the deed here.

That's why you're here?

That's my gym, Jack.

That's my gym, Jack!

You're gonna
earn your victories,

just like in the ring!

I'm not just gonna
give that to you!

Tell your sister goodbye,

or hello, or whatever.

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR SHUTS, LOCK CLICKS]

[SIGHS]

Jack.

Hey. You okay?

His gym.

What a fucking waste of time...

Hey. Come here....and a life and...

CHARLIE: I'm sorry.

[SIGHS]

I'm sorry.

But you know what?
I'm proud of you.

[SIGHS]

It took a lot for you
to come here and face him.

I mean, look at me, I just ran.

And you know what, fuck him.

Seriously, what has he
ever done for us?

Nothing.

And we always
figure it out, don't we?

Now, let's get back to Bangkok.

We have a whole city
we're going to explore.

Go see some fights,
have some pad thai.

Find you a girlfriend.

Let's go.

Not going to let him
ruin anything else.

Hello, fight fans,
and welcome to death row.

There's only two ways
to leave Hkantaut.

First is in the box.

The second is
by victory in the ring.

[BELL DINGING][CROWD CHEERING]

The only way to leave alive

is as a champion.

[SCREAMS]

Watch it live on
the Fighting for Freedom app.

Fighting for Freedom,
where the champions go free.

KUKRIT:
It's the perfect setup.

Freedom from captivity.
Violence rewarded

- regardless of the crime.
- What's all this?

Who are these guys?

Max, meet my nephews.

They both just earned
graduate degrees in marketing

in America.

I'm Kukrit.
I create the content.

Satra here does our analytics
and social media.

You must be very proud.

We're taking the summer
away from Bangkok

to help Uncle monetize
the fight promotion.

"Monetize."
Well, that's a big word.

Max, let him explain.

Well, you see,
in the age of devices,

everyone now watches TV
on their phones.

KUKRIT: When live sports are
marketed as a must-see event,

fans pay to watch, right?

Look at the UFC. They proved it.

My nephews have assured me
that this will pave the way

for an early retirement.

SATRA:
We use all the platforms,

TikTok, Instagram,
Facebook, Twitter.

We're selling
heroes and villains,

so we either want the fans
to love or hate the fighters.

So far, they don't think
our challenges are good enough.

KUKRIT: They gotta
be better, a lot better.

Something with a... backstory.

Okay. Well, sounds like
you got it all figured out.

We're not done.

We know nothing
about matchmaking.

But Uncle here tells us
that you're the best.

WARDEN: I want to
make you an offer.

If you can deliver
what my nephews need,

I'll grant your release.

My release?

Barring the platform
is successful, of course.

You need fighters?

- Villains.
- Foreigners, ideally.

Huh?

Well, that's going
to be a problem

because, uh, we don't have
any of those here.

I trust you're gonna
figure it out.

Show me the girl again.

ARANYA: Hello, my friends,
and welcome to death row.

There's only two ways
to leave Hkantaut.

First is in the box...

How'd you pull this off so fast?

Jack, think about it.
Why did he change his mind?

My name is Warden Cetan.

You-- You speak English.
Thank God.

to counsel or a phone call.

That's what happens
when you assault my guards.

Okay, this has all been

- No. No. No.
- Look, it is our legal right

to be given access
to an attorney.

Charlie! Charlie![GROANS]

All right, okay![COUGHS]

All right, breathe through it.
Breathe, breathe. You all right?

Everything here is
under my discretion.

Including a right to counsel.

- What are you talking about?
- WARDEN: It means

I can keep you
both here indefinitely.

JACK:
This is fucking insane, man.

You think we're drug smugglers?

CHARLIE: What you're doing here

is against international law. JACK: Yes.

You have two options.

Fight for your freedom
or rot in this cell.

Today, you'll both be introduced

But it can be better

if you know how to

What do you mean by that?

The only reason
I'm not starving to death

is I work for the fight team.

There must be

So, everyone here
has to buy food?

Well, they give you two bowls
of rotten rice every day,

and if you don't
want to eat that,

you have to buy your own.

The only exception is
if you're on the fight team.

You don't seem
much like a criminal.

I crossed the border
after a full moon party

and got popped
with seven hits of ecstasy

and a life sentence.

Can't your family do anything?

They tried.

Did they at least
let you talk to a lawyer?

A lousy public defender
that didn't do much.

How about you?

It's a long story.

Hey, will you tell me more
about the fight team?

- They get better food?
- Better everything.

And who's that old white guy
that I saw training them?

That's Max, a total asshole.

He runs the fight teams.

Rumor has it
he introduced the pardon thing.

So the pardons are real?

Sure, but they're rare.

And he's an inmate?

As much as any of us, I guess.

He's close with the warden.

He lives in his own
private part of the prison.

Everyone comes here
before lockup.

When's that?

3:30 in the afternoon

That's... Jesus, 15 hours?

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

There was an execution today.

[CELL DOOR OPENING]

[DOOR SHUTS]

Warden wanted me to talk to you.

You can tell the warden
the only thing we want

is to speak with a lawyer.

I don't think you get it.

You're in a death factory.

Unless you figure out
how to survive...

you won't.

It's rare foreigners
are given a chance to fight.

I suggest you take it.

[CELL DOOR OPENS]

[CELL DOOR SHUTS]

Oh, fuck!

[SIGHS]

You were right.

Jack... [SNIFFS]
JACK: No.

You were right.

This is all my fault.

CHARLIE: This is not your fault.

Okay? You hear me?
It's not your fault.

Don't go spiraling on me
right now, okay?

I need you,
I need you here with me, okay?

[SNIFFS]

CHARLIE: Jack?[SIGHS] Yeah.

I'm here. I'm here.

CHARLIE: We need to buy
ourselves some time.

Now, the fight team, they...
they get better food.

- They get better treatment.
- JACK: Right.

But why is it so important
to them that we fight?

I don't know.

But it gives us
a degree of leverage.

Yeah. Leverage.

You think every new inmate,

that they get this
kind of attention?

They need us for something.
I don't know what, but they do.

[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
Hello, fight fans.

They're here for one reason.

And one reason only.

Reigning prison champions

calling you on
their path to freedom.

[IN THAI] When they brought me
here, I did not think of crying,

but the tears came
by themselves.

[GRUNTS]

[CROWD CLAMORING]

I never thought I'd be
in a place like this.

I will never break
the law again.

I haven't seen my family
in a very long time.

[BELL DINGING]

I sleep, I train,
I fight for them.

[IN ENGLISH]
Champions behind bars

fighting for redemption.

[CROWD CHEERING]

ARANYA: Who will face
the deadly duo next?

Only on
the Fighting for Freedom app,

where the champions go free.

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[SPEAKS IN THAI]

[IN ENGLISH] I heard you
might be training with us.

Who the fuck are you?
And who told you that? Max?

Simon, meet my sister Charlie.

Lovely to meet you as well.
Uh...

I'm supposed to
get you some food.

Don't take it personal.

- What was that about?
- We've met.

Here you are.

Enjoy.

There he is.

So nice of you to join us.

Are you even an inmate?

Yeah. With privileges.

You're just
such a piece of shit.

You sound just like your mother.

Listen...

the important thing

is that I can
get you out of here.

Yeah, let's cut the bullshit.

You wouldn't help anyone
unless it was good for you.

We have conditions.

Well, I'm listening.

CHARLIE: We want our own
shared cell,

with new sleeping mats
and new bedding.

From now on,
we eat with the fight team,

we share the same privileges.

And we each get two cartons
of cigarettes every week.

I can do that.

Training starts right now.

PRISONER: [SPEAKING THAI]

[SPEAKS THAI]

[IN ENGLISH] You owe me
four cartons!

Four!

JACK: ...we're drug smugglers.
You think...

- Here you go.
- Thanks.

Ooh! What is this?
Uncle's cheap-ass whiskey?

Yes, good shit.

KUKRIT: Mm.

All right, so I was thinking

we block North America,
keep the rollout to Asia.

Smart.

I'm targeting ads utilizing
Japanese and South Korean data

and filtering
with the martial arts fans

who identify as
"more than casual."

KUKRIT: Nice.

We need to introduce
our villains now.

Let us see how
Americans can fight.

GUARD: Up!

CHANCHAI: Pay attention.

Work harder.
Be smarter in the ring.

Fight for the honor
of your nation.

Fight as Nai Khanom Tom
did many centuries ago.

You're late.

This is when the guards
let us out.

Yeah, well, I'll talk
to somebody about that.

Right now we're running!

You two lead!

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

[IN THAI] We're still not
finished from last time.

MAX: [IN ENGLISH] They'll fight.

Fair enough.

And what do you suppose
we do when we're done?

If they become champions...

they get pardons.

If not...

they keep fighting
until they do.

If they lose, they're done.

[PRISONERS CHEERING]

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

- You got a second?
- LIZ: Uh, what's up?

Is... is that Charlie's cat?[BOLO MEOWING]

Check your inbox.

What's this?

It's the footage we shot.
And she's right.

There is a story here.

Let me guess,
Charlie put you up to this?

Actually, she has no idea.

She's in Thailand
with her brother.

Charlie's in Thailand?

She didn't tell you that,
either, huh?

- No.
- WELLS: No?

Well, I was hoping
you'd heard something from her.

She was supposed to be back
this past Friday.

Uh, seeing as this is the first
I'm hearing of this,

I don't know what to say.

Do... Do you know
where they were staying?

The Ruva Sala or something.

It's by the river.

Maybe you should
look into that, Wells.

And get that cat out of here.

[BOLO MEOWING]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

You said we would be
up and running by now.

KUKRIT: We're moving
as fast as we can.

We promise it will be
worth the wait.

The appetite for this is huge.

You wanted to see me?

Come in.

Show Max what you showed me.

Just press that "play" button.

ARANYA: Jack, American
and all-around bad boy,

moving from prison fight
to his first battle in the ring.

We're ready for the first fight.

ARANYA: The moment we've all
been waiting for...

We need videos of them fighting
to build the audience up.

You know, get them invested.

They need more time.

I thought they were
trained fighters, Max.

All right. You're the boss.

[DOOR OPENS]

[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

They used to do it
with machine guns.

They'd force the prisoners
to turn their backs

so that the spirits
wouldn't see the guards

when their souls left the body.

Jesus.

- What do they do now?
- Lethal injection.

Executioner wears a hood.

Where do they go?

They leave the bodies outside,

and if a family member shows up,
they can claim it.

- And if they don't?
- SIMON: They're cremated.

Monk puts the ashes
in little urns,

puts them inside of
a plastic shopping bag

that he carries around
with him sometimes.

Gives me nightmares.

Ten more laps.

MAX: Go get me some water.

Your first fight's
here tomorrow.

You're fighting Lek.

You're fighting Netra.

Per her request.

If you win...

you're that much closer
fighting for the championship.

And if we lose?

Losing is never an option...

Jack.

Ew. Nasty.

[IN ENGLISH] Yeah, hi.
My name's Cameron Wells.

I have a colleague
who is a guest at your hotel.

Her name's Charlie Hightower.
She's staying with her brother.

MANAGER: Yeah, I'm afraid
they never checked out,

but we are holding their bags
at the front desk.

When was the last time
you saw them?

Lek, an eager contender
trying to move up the ranks

in the prison fight team.

Winning is his only thought.

LEK: [IN THAI] I'll fight
anyone they put in front of me.

I will go until
my body can't handle it anymore.

I fight for
the honor of my family.

[BELL DINGING]

I fight for freedom.

[IN ENGLISH] His opponent, Jack.

An American
and all-around bad boy,

moving from prison fight
to his first battle

in the ring.

We're drug smugglers.

Welcome to Riva Arun, Mr. Wells.

I have you here
for seven nights.

KUKRIT: It's hard to overhype
the power

of mobile push
notification technology.

SATRA: We've triggered
a significant campaign

highly targeted to

a demographic with
a known discretionary income.

Each one is invited
to join our

exclusive Fighting
for Freedom community,

which then lets them
watch our premiere event

this week for free.

This week?

If we wait any longer,

the risk of them being here
will outweigh the reward.

How come I'm getting
this information now?

Just get us
two good championship fights.

We need to pay off the buildup.

It will be a good test
of our model.

CHANCHAI: Come on, Charlie.
Nice. Nice. Control.

Again. That's it, good.

Yes. The more you're in control,
the better your technique is.

Okay? Get some water.

MAX: Chanchai!

It's going to be impossible
for you to avoid the clinch,

so you need to learn
the art of disengagement.

Otherwise this fight's
going to be over.

[GRUNTS]

MAX: Pull him down.

Never seen the prick
act like that before.

Normally he just stands around
with his arms crossed

and barks at his fighters.

MAX: Dump the clinch!

Jack was supposed
to be his legacy.

MAX: Good. Hurt him, hurt him.

No walk-up.

I just have a question.

I'm looking for
these two people.

Their father's an inmate here.

- GUARD: Who?
- Max Hightower.

This is Charlie
and Jack Hightower.

His children.

- I don't know.
- WELLS: Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Does someone have
access to the footage

from the cameras outside?

Maybe I can take a look.

Visitors need appointment.
You are not the police.

Okay, so how do I make
an appointment?

Here.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Do you work here?

I'm looking for my friends.

These two.
Charlie and Jack Hightower.

They came here to
visit their father.

I understand they were
brought in for a drug charge.

Drugs? Jack won't even
take aspirin.

MONK: Is there anything else?

What... What exactly
do you do at the prison?

I look after the bodies
of the executed

and guide them on their journey.

That's kind of dark.

In this situation,

the condemned man
knows his destiny

and can clear his conscience.

[BUZZER RINGS]

[DOG BARKING]

the Americans' friends

came looking for them.

- WARDEN: When?

until further notice.

- Get me the tape.
- Okay, sir.

Hey, Jack.

Hey, Char.

You know I love you, right?

Good.

JACK: I love you too, sis.

I have reason to believe

they're being held
against their will.

That's a serious accusation.

[BOLO MEOWS]

Well,

what happens if someone
is caught committing a crime

while visiting the prison?

Are you a lawyer?

Just a friend.

WARDEN: We've taken this
as far as it can go.

We need to cancel the fight
and get rid of them.

We have a deal.

WARDEN: The minute you let them
come into my prison,

they became
my problem to handle.

The risk is the same,
whether they fight or not.

Send them in.

Is, uh... Is everything okay?

How much?

[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

That's a lot of money.

You can retire very nicely
