[Five Tujunga Terrors players chance upon Daniel and Johnny after the game]
Hey, good game, guys. No hard feelings, right?
HHamm
Because of you, I spent half the game in the box.
Yeah, but you still eked out a win. It was great.
HHamm
So you can kick my ass any day of the week. Is that right?
No, I didn't say that. He... [gestures to Johnny, who's nowhere to be found]
HHamm
Looks like your lover boy bailed on you.
CCalloway
Wait, wait, wait. You know who this is? It's LaRusso Auto. The chopping prices guy from TV? He's got that smoking hot brunette running the place. [goalie wolf whistles]
[offended at whistle] Easy guys. That's my wife.
HHamm
Oh. Maybe I'll take her for a test drive. [nudges Calloway]
CCalloway
I'll ride shotgun.
VVaughn
I got the backseat to myself. [everybody laughs until Daniel has had enough. He attacks and defeats all five Terrors players]
Johnny Lawrence[surveying the damage with pretzel in hand] Kick ass! Nice work, LaRusso. Way to assert your dominance.
Johnny
No be there. [bites pretzel]
[The Eagle Fang students are scared of Johnny ordering them to jump the gap between two buildings with a long way drop to some mattresses below]
Johnny Lawrence
I know what I'm doing.
Do you? Based on your track record, you don't have the best judgment.
Johnny
Oh, you wanna talk judgment? How about smashing into my Firebird and driving off with your girlfriends?
I wasn't even driving. I was in the backseat.
Johnny
Showing up at my place drunk, causing your dad to kick down my door? Guessing that wasn't your fault either.
I'm a teenager who's made mistakes. You're a 50-something-year-old man who lives alone, drinks all day, and clearly hasn't figured out his own life.
Johnny
I figured out one thing for sure. If I did everything my parents wanted me to do, I'd be wearing a suit and tie in some worthless job while I wait out the clock. I didn't want that. And now I get to do what I love every damn day. I get to try to help kids like you find their own way. If you wanna sit in the back seat your whole life, go right ahead. It's no sweat off my back.
[Daniel and Johnny review the footage of their special match but arguments over who won are forgotten when Hawk appears in a hoodie]
[sees somebody in hoodie] Hawk?
Shit, Eli what happened?! [Hawk reveals his mohawk is no more and everybody is stunned]
Johnny
Who did this?
Johnny
Kreese and Silver did this. They need to pay.
Jesus, Johnny. Please. Kreese tried to kill you last time. What, you wanna fight them both?
Johnny
Damn right I do. Look what they did.
Dousing the fire with gasoline, that's your answer? [exasperated] Why am I not surprised?
Johnny
You still think your way is the only way. You were so proud when they pulled their little sprinkler prank the other day, but if they stood their ground and kicked some ass like I taught them, this never would've happened.
And if they fight every time they're provoked, where does that lead? Back to the hospital? Or to jail? Come on, Just because you spent time in both...
Johnny's right. It doesn't matter how many times we stand up to Cobra Kai, if we don't strike back, they're gonna keep coming at us.
[to Johnny] And you were worried about my influence on your kids? Is this what you want, Johnny? To have my daughter and the rest of my students acting like you?
Johnny
You don't have to worry about it anymore. 'Cause we're done.
Johnny
Eagle Fangs, let's go. [they leave]
[Carmen shows Johnny a letter]
[in letter] 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.
CCarmen
I called the police. I-I don't know what else to do.
Johnny
Everything's gonna be fine. I'm gonna find him. I'll make sure he's safe.
CCarmen
Johnny. [inhales] There's something I didn't tell you about my ex-husband.
Johnny
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.
CCarmen
That's just it. He doesn't know Miguel exists. I just want my baby back home safe.
[Robby learns the real reason why Johnny brought him to Mexico]
You've got to be kidding.
Johnny Lawrence
You have every right to be upset.
How could you take me to Mexico and not mention once we're coming to get Miguel? "Robby, let's go to Mexico. Come back with some stories."
Johnny
I wasn't bullshitting you. I wanna fix our relationship. When I heard Miguel was in trouble, I had to do something. I just couldn't leave you at home. I'm done doing that. Besides, I need your help to find Miguel.
My help? Do you even have a plan?
Johnny
Yeah, of course I do. Miguel's looking for Hector Salazar. I know where the kid gets off the bus. That's our first stop.
When we get there, what do you plan on doing?
Johnny
I'll ask around if anyone saw Miguel.
Johnny
Of course not. We come up dry, I'll check the Mexican phone book.
Oh my God. You drove me over a thousand miles to check a phone book? Might as well put Miguel's face on a milk carton.
Johnny
They still do that?
I could be at home with Tory. Coming with you was a mistake.
Johnny
All right. I'm sorry, okay? I thought this trip would help you and Miguel. When we get to the bus station, if you wanna buy a ticket home, you can. I don't want you to go home, but...
Johnny
Shit!
[Johnny drives off the road to avoid a pickup truck but the front right tire blows]
[Miguel calls his mother after learning the hard truth from Hector Salazar]
Hey, Ma. [cries] I'm sorry. You were right.
CCarmen
Please, tell me you're okay, Miggy.
Johnny
Miguel! [Miguel sees Johnny and his car]
I'm okay, Ma. I'm coming home. [Johnny and Miguel finally embrace]
Johnny
All right. All right. All right. Hey. [Miguel sees Robby]
[Johnny calls Shannon about Robby and how Carmen's pregnancy is driving him to do better by taking on rideshare work]
Johnny
Hey, can you hear me? I'm calling from my car phone.
SShannon
Yes, I can hear you. And no one calls it a car phone.
Johnny
Listen. About Robby. I want him to stay with me this summer. I'll do whatever I have to to make it work.
SShannon
Are you sure you can handle that?
Johnny
It's what I should have done for him and you long ago. I quit too many jobs 'cause I didn't like 'em instead of considering what's best for all of us. I wasn't man enough to know it then, but I do now. I'm sorry I sucked, Shannon.
SShannon
It's okay, Johnny. We were both young and dumb. But I'm glad Robby gets to stay here now and see this side of you.
Johnny
I won't let him down. I was about to pick him up from the water park. But if you wanna go tell him the news... Hell yeah.
SShannon
Okay, Johnny. I'm happy for you.
Johnny
Thanks.
RPRideshare passenger
Whoa. Dude, did you just miss my stop?
Johnny
Crap. Hold on. [turns around]
[Johnny has forced Miguel and Robby into one no-holds-barred fight to get their feelings for each other out of their system, but Miguel stops after driving Robby to the edge - and possibly doing to Robby what he did to him at the West Valley brawl]
I didn't get into karate to hurt people. I did it to be a badass and find balance.
Last time we fought like this, uh, how come you didn't hold back?
I wanted to finish the fight. I mean, not like that. I just... I... I had tunnel vision and I got so angry that I just... I mean, I barely knew where we were. I'd take it back in a second if I could. I was the cause of the worst moment in your life. And if it's any consolation, it was the worst moment in my life, too.
Johnny
So? Is it over? Are you guys good? Thank God. If you still hated each other when the baby gets here...
The baby? Wait, what? Like, you and my mom?
Johnny
Yeah, we're, uh, having a baby. We were supposed to tell you together, so make sure you act surprised.
Johnny
Yeah, like that.
[smiling] Dad, that's... That's awesome. That's awesome. [they all embrace]
[In prison, Kreese details the story of how, back in 1980, Silver once attracted him to have Cobra Kai enter the Sekai Taikai international karate competition]
Silver listened to me back then. So we didn't expand. I wanted to focus on you.
Johnny Lawrence
Don't make this about me.
Hold on. What are you saying? Silver's gonna enter another tournament?
Not just another tournament. The biggest tournament in the world. And if he wins... Cobra Kai goes global. Silver has taken the Valley. Now he's putting together the pieces to take everything else. You may have found the will to fight, but you're outmatched and outnumbered. Silver is on the verge of getting what he's always wanted. Well, I think I've held up my end of the deal. The lawyer's number? [Daniel gives him a piece of paper, revealing "NO MERCY, MOTHERFUCKER!" instead of a number. Kreese is wide-eyed at the doublecross] You actually think you're gonna be able to take him down without me? He's gonna make mincemeat out of you.
Johnny
Enjoy rotting in your cell. [they leave]
[in presenting the Eagle Fang training dojo to the Sekai Taikai selection committee, chairman Gunther Braun is stunned that fragments of a watermelon Sam kicked are splattered on him]
Johnny Lawrence
Uh, hey, look, man, I'm sure this probably all seems weird to you, but sometimes you have to train outside the box to get to another level. Some people use the latest high-tech junk to get there, and some people need to run up a mountain in the snow and yell.
GBGunther Braun
DRAGO!! Rocky Balboa is my hero.
Johnny
No shit! Mine too.
BBraun
His victory over Russia effectively restored my fractured homeland.
Johnny
You get it.
BBraun
I do. Show me more.
Johnny
Yes, sir.
[Daniel attempts to dissuade Johnny, Chozen, and Mike Barnes from confronting Silver at his dojo head-on while drunk]
MBMike Barnes
This guy destroyed my world! What do you want me to do, just sit here and take it like a bitch? I'm gonna go over there and beat the living shit out of him!
Johnny
[approaches Barnes] I like the way this guy thinks.
Johnny
The bad boy's right, man. Silver's been screwing us for too long. He kicked your ass, he kicked my ass. It was a sucker kick in my case, but still, it's way past time for some payback.
BBarnes
THAT'S what I'm talking about!
All right, Chozen, Chozen, help me out here. This is crazy.
BBarnes
YES! I'm driving. [heads over to the driver's seat of the limo]
No, no, no, you guys. You're out of your fucking minds!
Four of us. One of him. Tonight, we cut off head of snake. [laughs and boards the limo]
[Johnny is about to board the limo, but Daniel stops him]
Johnny, Johnny, listen. We're all drunk. And judging by the size of his pupils, Barnes is on something even stronger. Okay? This is a terrible idea.
Johnny
Yeah, it is. Which is why Silver's never gonna see it coming. It's happening, LaRusso. Saddle up. [smacks Daniel lightly] It's time to put Pandora back in her box. [clumsily boards the limo]
No, we're not gonna ride for justice like some party limo posse.
BBarnes
Suit yourself. [drives off and leaves Daniel stranded]
Mike? Mike! Are you kidding me?!
