[Daniel learns from Johnny that Chozen slipped a bit about Kumiko]
Ah, I was hoping he did not say anything. I know what she means to you. Did not want to make you uncomfortable.
Chozen, I had no idea you had feelings for her.
When, uh, Kumiko and I were children, we would play in the ruins of King Shō Hashi Castle. I would hide, and she would always find me. After my disgrace in village... I tried to hide from everything. But Kumiko find me again. And her kindness brought me back.
She's something special, all right.
Does she know how you feel?
No. No! No. How I treated her, what I did to her... Unforgivable.
You can't keep punishing yourself. You've done all you can to make up for what you did back then, and Kumiko knows that. Look, she's the reason you're here. She went after you. Maybe now it's your turn to go after her.
Thank you, Daniel-san. You're welcome, my friend. [dance music plays]
Come on. Let's hit that dance floor. You were once the life of the party in Okinawa!
[Sam, Eli/Hawk, Demitri, Bert, and Miguel crash Stingray's DnD session to ask him to come clean about his deal with Terry Silver, but he's too scared to do it]
Okay, so I've been working on this new D&D campaign...
I don't think we have time for this.
EEli
Wait a minute. What happens in the campaign, Stingray?
[picks up a piece and places in the field] Okay, so, once upon a time, there was a Dwarven monk, and he was a member of the most badass guild in all the land. Uh, he was banished for a time. You know, typical PC crap. But, um, once he paid his penance, he returned. Only by then, the guild was under new leadership. And the monk was denied reentry into the guild. And quite unceremoniously, might I add. What did the monk do? The monk, he made a pact with a silver-haired king who would usurp the leader. [places another piece near the monk piece] And it was early one morning, before any of the warriors had arrived, that the king struck the monk down. Again, and again, and again. It was then that they framed the leader for the assault, and the leader was put in chains, and the silver-haired king took over the guild.
DDemitri
And you were... The Dwarven monk was let back into the guild?
EEli
Yeah. With benefits.
Aye. With benefits, yeah.
So why can't he just tell everyone what really happened?
Because he doesn't want to lose his benefits.
No! No. I would... The-The monk would give it all back if he could, but the-the silver-haired king, you know, he... He almost killed the monk. He could have killed him. And why? To get power. So, yeah, the monk fears what that king would do to keep that power. I think the monk just... The monk just wanted reentry into the guild because he thought that he could be like a... Like a proud and noble warrior. Just like you, Hawk, Samantha, all you guys. But he's neither proud nor noble. Definitely not a warrior. He just sits around playing with them all day. The monk's just scared. I just can't. I'm sorry.
That's great. Thanks for nothing. [walks out]
[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!
[approaches Barnes] I like the way this guy thinks.
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.
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?!
You promised to make my grandfather's dream a reality. To bring his karate to the world. And by gaining acceptance into the Sekai Taikai, you're on the verge of fulfilling that promise. And yet your rivalries here remain a concern.
I share your concern, but I'm not worried. We'll send them a message well before the tournament.
And the content of this message?
Stay the fuck out of our way, or someone will get hurt.
[Terry Silver addresses both Cobra Kai and Miyagi-Do/Eagle Fang students, Daniel, Amanda, and Carmen, after a clip of him and Tory is uploaded on YouTube]
You think I'm the only one who's willing to go to these lengths? Their senseis broke into my home tonight. My home! Attacked me, unprovoked! But here I am. The only man left standing. They think they're entitled to victory because their way is "right" and our way is "wrong." But that's not how it works. There are no morals to the story, no happy endings. Life isn't a fairy tale. It's a competitive sport. Right and wrong, there's no such thing. There are only winners... and losers. Cobra Kai builds winners, because we're willing to do whatever it takes to come out on top.
