Mortal Kombat

Check it's tight.

Close your hand.

That feel good?

- Good. - Yeah.

You made it.

Always rely on Cole Young, human punching bag.

Who am I fighting?

Fighting? No, no, no, Cole.

Fighting requires

both attacking and defending, not just throwing punches.

You should try it sometime.

All right, don't get sensitive.

You're fightin' Ramirez.

Yeah, he's experienced, fast.

Good fighter.

Who's your corner man?

What? You're fucking serious?

You don't like it, find someone else

who will do this in an hour's notice for $200.

You sticking around for this one?

You know I don't watch him fight anymore.

Yeah, well...

Give the people a good show, huh?

Or they won't stick around either.

Throw your uppercut.

You got him. That's it.

No! Get up!

Take control!

Come on!

Come on!

Don't tap out.

It's done! Done!

- Back it up, Eddie. - Yes!

The prophecy is upon us

which means we could lose the tenth tournament.

There is no prophecy. Hanzo is a ghost.

I killed him centuries ago.

Winning Mortal Kombat cannot be left to chance.

There will be no tournament

because there will be no opposition left to fight.

We will already be victorious.

Go now and kill Earthrealm's champions...

Bi-Han.

I am no longer Bi-Han.

I am Sub-Zero.

Cole!

I am your blood.

Damn, Young.

- Hell of a fight, man. - Yeah, you too.

- Respect you. - A'ight.

Ready to go?

In a sec.

What you got there?

It's a strength bracelet.

- Just made this? - Yeah.

That's pretty cool.

You want me to put it on?

My hand.

Now we got one each.

You're sure you're okay?

Yeah. I guess I should have thrown the uppercut, huh?

Cole Young.

The man that took the belt from Eddie Tobias.

Yeah, that was a long time ago.

Have we met?

No.

Name's Jax.

Nice to meet you, Jax.

Could've won today.

Had you controlled the cage.

Told you so.

She's smart.

All right. Well, time to go eat, yeah?

One more thing, champ.

That dragon logo you got, I dig that, man.

It's unique.

Where'd you get it from?

He was born with it.

- What do you mean? - It's a birthmark.

You serious?

Pretty cool. Show him.

Well, ain't that something?

Nice chatting with you.

See you around, champ.

- Hey. - Hi, Mom.

Still in one piece.

How'd it go?

He was this close to beating him.

- This close? - Close.

You sure you're okay?

Standing.

- Let's go order. - Yeah.

Got my eyes on him right now.

He's got the mark, I saw it.

He's with his family.

Ally, come take a look at this.

It's snowing.

But it's July.

- Emily! - Emily!

Stay calm, stay calm!

Get in the truck, Cole! Now!

- Get in the car! - Come on, come on! Let's go!

- Move, move, move! - Go, go, go!

Blade, I got him.

I'll see you at base at 2300.

What the fuck is that thing?

Funny, that didn't sound much like,

"Thanks for saving my ass."

Whatever that was back there,

it's after both of us. Look.

That's... That's impossible.

It's not a birthmark, Cole.

Means you've been chosen.

Chosen? For what?

To fight.

You got the wrong person, all right?

I'm not the fighter that I used to be, okay?

No shit. But they don't have the marking.

So, like it or not, Cole, you're the guy.

And as long as you got that marking,

they're coming for you.

And they will kill whoever they have to to get to you.

Take the truck. Get your family to safety.

Cole.

You need to get to Gary, Indiana. Find Sonya Blade.

806 West Washington Boulevard.

Are you sure? We can take him out together.

You want your family on a fucking slab in the morgue?

Now, get out of here.

Hold on tight, guys.

So, you wanna play hide-and-seek?

I've done six tours, motherfucker.

She's finally asleep.

I should go.

You'll be safe here, Ally.

You heard what Jax said.

That thing is hunting people with the marking.

It's after me.

And if I stay here and it shows up,

it could kill us all.

I'm not gonna let that happen.

Jax could have killed it.

We have to be sure.

The name he gave me. Sonya Blade.

Hopefully, she'll have some answers.

Master.

Sub-Zero tracked and killed

another one of Earth's champions.

But another has escaped.

Have our assassins double their efforts.

What of Lord Raiden?

If he discovers we're breaking rules

set in stone by the Elder Gods...

Leave the Elder Gods to me.

We didn't win nine straight tournaments

by following the rules.

Mileena, let's finish this.

Send in the reptilian Syzoth.

What are you doing here?

Wait. I'm looking for Sonya Blade. Jax sent me.

- Where is it? - Where's what?

The marking.

I'm Sonya.

Jax hasn't checked in. Where is he?

He stayed behind to fight.

Close the door.

Jax, where are you?

Come on.

You guys are military?

Special Forces.

Holy... What is this?

We needed a safe place to run our operation.

Well, this looks, uh, pretty safe.

Looks like you're ready for anything.

This is where we keep all we've learned

about the dragon markings.

First learned about this seven years ago.

Jax and I were on a mission in Brazil

to capture a wanted fugitive.

When we got there,

the target had superhuman abilities.

Tore through our unit in seconds.

The target had the same marking you do, Cole.

When Jax finally took it down,

the dragon marking transferred directly onto his skin.

I've spent years trying to figure out what it all means.

Seems that throughout history,

different cultures all over the world,

they reference a great tournament.

But my research shows that there's realms

and species that we didn't even know existed.

That dragon marking,

it signifies that you've been chosen to fight for Earth.

It's an invitation to fight for something known

as Mortal Kombat.

Did you make that last part up?

It just kind of sounds like you made it up.

And look, they spelled it wrong.

Hey, you listen to me.

I think there's another tournament coming.
