Cobra Kai

What are you doing here?

Didn't think you could hide from me forever, did you?

-Gonna break my arm too? -You let that happen.

You wouldn't even fight back. You just went home and cried to Mommy.

Well, Mommy's not here.

Don't worry, I'm not going to break your arm.

You deserve much worse!

Robby, Miguel…

Look where they are now. And it's all your fault!

It's all your fault.

Miguel!

You started this,

now let's finish it.

Let's go, slowpoke!

Move those gimp legs!

Go, Diaz.

OK, there. Hold it, hold it, hold it.

Feel the burn. Feel the burn. Looking good. All right. Ten more!

Go, Diaz. Move it!

We're almost there. Let's go!

-Think I'm getting the hang of it. -Oh, yeah? Think fast.

Oh. Oh!

Lookin' good.

Lookin' real good.

Here it comes!

What you waiting for? Keep going!

Yeah!

What about "Johnny Lawrence Karate"?

Or "Strike Hard Karate"?

Come on, I'm trying to think of names for our new dojo.

How long do Facebook messages take to get delivered?

-Ali's in Colorado, so probably a while. -It's instantaneous.

What about "All American Karate"?

It's not good enough.

We need something that tells everyone we're the most badass dojo in the Valley.

Yeah. It sucks that Cobra Kai's such a badass name.

What if we just keep that?

But we spell cobra with a K. They can call us triple K.

Like KKK?

Yeah, it's probably a bad idea.

All right, whatever. We'll figure it out. First, we need students.

It's my first day back at school today. I could recruit.

But where are we gonna train?

You let me worry about that.

-Morning, honey. -Why don't you have a seat?

I brewed up some of that tea I brought back from Okinawa.

You're being weird. What's going on?

Well, your mom and I have been talking about how to deal with Cobra Kai.

You have?

I'm sorry I got so upset with you for training the other kids.

I didn't realize what you were dealing with.

We're trying to handle it, but--

With all you're going through at school with those bullies,

we want to make sure you know how to defend yourself.

So, what are you saying?

Your dad's gonna reopen Miyagi-Do.

And I'm 100% on board.

So, what do you say? Ready to get back into action?

No.

Sam.

Sam, wait. Hey.

What's going on?

I'm not doing karate anymore, OK?

What was that?

Something's going on with her. I don't think she's sleeping very well.

Well, I didn't know that.

I've been so preoccupied with everything going on,

I haven't been able to spend enough time with her.

Well, maybe you play hooky today.

You know? She can skip school.

I got the dealership. You know? Go work your Miyagi magic.

- Here he is. - No way!

Yeah!

Hey, good to see you.

He's back!

- Yes, Miguel! -Good to see you.

El Serpiente!

-What's up? -Welcome back, man.

Feels good to be back.

-They give you bionic legs or some shit? -No, same old boring human legs.

Oh, yeah? Can you throw down? Gotta defend that title.

Gotta get through me first. Dude, Cobra Kai is crushing it.

I've been meaning to talk to you about that.

-We'll talk about it at lunch. -Sure.

-What's up, Miguel? -Hey. What's up?

Hey, the Comeback Kid! Welcome back.

I hope to make a similar triumphant return

to the land of the mobile appendage masses.

-What's up with the cast? -Proximal radius fracture.

It smells.

I put a lemon rind down there to mitigate that.

The invitation for you to sign it still stands.

Hard pass.

When you used to be a thorn in my tits, you were getting me an A in science.

Now you can't even do that because you're defective.

So, uh… how'd you break your arm?

We've got a lot to catch up on.

Place is turnkey.

Got locker rooms over there, adjoining steam rooms, private showers.

How you likin' that juice?

Its' the best orange juice I ever had.

In-house juice bar. Your clients are gonna flip for it.

I got a few folks sniffing around,

but you look like the kinda guy who knows a good deal when you see it.

-Shall we start the paperwork? -Who needs paperwork? I'll take it!

Well, we still need a contract. And I'll need to run your credit.

I'd prefer if you didn't.

Why don't we skip that crap for an old-fashioned handshake deal?

Like men.

You said this was the fourth space you've seen today?

Yeah. Trying to work within a budget.

Well, this place is as cheap as they come.

Had to knock a couple hundred off because of the asbestos.

They think they got it all.

Few coats of paint, little elbow grease, I think I can make this work.

-So how much we talking? -Three grand.

Three grand?

Are you serious? This place sucks!

Where's the juice bar? Where's the steam room?

There was a vending machine. Some homeless guy crapped in it.

I drove here thinking this place would be affordable.

This is LA, pal.

You want a roof and four walls,

it's gonna cost ya.

You're telling me this place is free?

-Yeah. -Totally free, no strings attached?

Yeah, it's free.

So I can do karate here?

All the way from that trash can all the way to that tree?

You can do whatever you want. It's a public park.

Can I get back to my family now?

Yeah, yeah. Thanks.

This isn't so bad, is it?

Guess it beats school.

Something about the quiet…

the sound of the water…

it always seems to just help.

I thought you and I could both use a little bit of that today.

Is that why we're out here?

I also thought we could catch some dinner for tonight.

-It's a little rusty. -Yeah. Well, so am I.

The trick to fishing out here is to get the line into the deep water,

away from the boat.

It's all in the cast.

All right, get your shoulder back. Bend your elbows, let her fly.

There you go.

Do you remember the last time we were out here?

It was with Mr. Miyagi.

He caught that fish that was so big Mom was afraid to cook it.

Pretty sure we ended up ordering in a pizza.

That was the day we taught you how to balance on the bow.

Not that we needed to, we couldn't knock you off to save our lives.

Wanna give it another shot for old times' sake? What do you say?

I knew it.

You knew what?

Is that why you brought me here? To trick me into doing karate?

What? No, not at all. This has nothing to do with that.

-I just wanted to spend the day together. -I told you, Dad, I quit karate.

Please, just help me to understand why. I wanna help.

It doesn't matter. You can't help.

I can't if you don't tell me what's going on.

Be honest with me, Sam.

I froze, OK?

I watched my friends get hurt.

I watched Demetri get his arm broken, and I couldn't do anything.

Now I'm having panic attacks. I don't know if I'll be able to defend myself again.

I'm so sorry, Sam.

Just take me home.

Oh, crap.

Oh, you thought I'd knock down your tray?

Come on. I'm better than that.

Hey, what else do you need help with? Want me to sign your cast? Say no more.

Incoming.

- Look at that sad face. -Right?

Sorry. Party's full.

-Where am I supposed to sit? -The rejects' table. Over there.

What a loser!

Hey, man.

I heard about what happened with Demetri. How could you do that?

You should thank me for getting revenge on Miyagi-Do.

And they started the fight. We finished it.

-That's not what Sensei taught us. -He's not my sensei anymore.

-After all he did for you, you betray him? -He betrayed us.

This isn't you talking. It's Kreese, he's got in your head.

You can change that, leave Cobra Kai and join Sensei's new dojo.

If you come, others will follow.

OK? We can show everyone we're not bullies.

-It could be like before. -He has a new dojo?

Hey, guys. Check this guy out. Standing around with a dick in his hand.

So, these are your friends now?

You don't have to talk to me.

I just want you to know that I'm always here for you.

I told you, you can't help me.

Why don't you walk me through what happened?

When the fight started, I…

I couldn't move.
