Intruder

Stop the fight! Stop the fight!

Stop the fight! Stop the fight!

Stop the fight!

Smoke!

You know I don't like that shit. Don't even fucking light it.

Shut up.

All right.

I argued with the bastards.

I argued,

and they ain't hear me.

This is the third time with Dylan you broke the rules.

I talked to him.

They're not gonna book you anymore.

We can go somewhere else.

Oh, there is no other place. You got it?

They book all the flights from here to the border.

You know...

I can't manage a...

a fighter who won't listen.

Because of a fucking bell?

Well, that's...

that's the rules, kid.

That's the rules.

It's my reputation, too.

Look at me.

I'm so sorry.

Hope you don't mind. I made us some coffee.

Christ's sake, Smoke. Have a seat.

Shawn's waiting in the car.

So what the hell am I supposed to think?

That you come here to beat me up?

I wouldn't need Shawn to do that.

He's better off keeping the fucking car warm.

What a fucking mess, Smoke.

Go fuck yourself.

My ex-wife did the cleaning, I don't clean.

You know I had to wash this coffee cup five fucking times

before I could drink out of it.

You didn't happen to...

...bring tonight's cut with you

since you bothered to come all the way over here?

You're done, Smoke.

And the league's not paying for tonight's spectacle

or whatever the fuck that was.

She's a fucking fighter!

Rita Rowdy was a house favorite,

and now she has a broken jaw.

Who the fuck do you think's gonna pay for that?

She's a fighter!

She knows the chance she takes getting in that ring.

I helped to build

this fucking league.

You got that?

And now you have the fucking nerve to come over here

and tell me I'm done.

This is a piss-ant match in some fucking garage

in a broken-down factory.

I bring you a-a-a fighter. Yeah?

And what do you expect me, to fucking bridle her?

Hey, Luca, the way I see it,

Rita Rowdy's better off that all she got was a broken jaw, right?

Ha!

It's funny.

Yeah.

Hell, it's funny where people...

how they forget,

how people forget that...

it's funny how you forget, Luca.

I haven't forgot a thing, Smoke.

Like when the bell goes ding-ding.

I still remember that.

I also remember all the times you would throw

some street meat in the ring and call it a fighter!

Maybe you were good.

But I can't remember that!

Maybe your bell's going ding-ding, too, Smoke.

Maybe it's time you realize that.

Well, I remember

what it's like to be inside that ring.

Maybe you forget that.

Maybe you forget where you come from, Luca.

Yeah, well...

I figured out you can make more money

outside the ring than in it.

So tell me, Luca,

in all your profound wisdom...

...what those eyes surrounding the ring,

what they came to see, it's not the fucking money.

No, no, no. It's not the fucking bell.

It's the blood.

That's what they want to see.

And they want to see lots of it.

The blood.

Ah, the more of it, the better.

The more those girls tear each other apart,

the more the crowd screams and the more money

they throw into the ring.

Yeah, I wonder what side of the cage I'm safer on.

Inside or out?

I don't ever forget what they came for.

Try and enjoy your retirement, Smoke.

Watch the sunset with some dignity.

All right, all right. Don't kill her.

Maybe next time you'll stop when the bell rings.

Yeah.

Ding-ding, bitch.

We...all...die.

Are we all going to die?

That is the question on everyone's mind.

Our Stacey Laurel has a rare interview with Jude Micah,

the self-appointed space explorer

who might have the answer. Stacey?

Jim, we are here live

outside of the Micah Tech research facility,

waiting for him to come through the doors.

This was once Jude Micah's family barn,

where the billionaire used to dream about the stars.

And now this facility is helping his dreams become reality.

And here he is right now.

Jude Micah, how do you respond to the numerous accusations

of exploiting fear tactics to sell the new Orion transport

to wealthy consumers?

You mean like a government selling vaccines to the public?

Hmm? No. The only thing

that Micah Tech is exploiting is reality

and selling the last bit of hope

for a chance to escape a dying planet.

Let's be honest, sir, with a sticker price of $15 million,

you're hardly saving the planet.

Well, I gave up trying to save the planet

a long time ago, Ms., um...

-Stacey Laurel. -Ms. Laurel, yeah.

I couldn't get governments on the same page,

so I came up with a Plan B.

But, Mr. Micah, there is no real scientific evidence

outside the walls of Micah Tech

that confirm your exaggerated timeline.

And that should concern you, Stacey.

It means that the scientists you're listening to

are lying to you.

And there you have it. Is the planet really dying?

We will find out. Stacey Laurel, Channel 1 News.

Someone called me here about my daughter, Bree Hewit?

-Mr. Hewit? -Yes.

Can you wait a minute? I'll get the charge nurse for you.

Thank you.

-Mr. Hewit. -Oh. How is she?

When the EMTs brought her in this morning,

she was still unconscious.

She was found by another tenant in her building

when she saw her lying by her apartment door.

The police report says she was assaulted and robbed.

She has no memory of the incident.

She suffered minor head trauma due to the blow to the head.

So she does have a concussion, but she's gonna be fine.

She seems like a tough girl.

Regardless, the doctors want to keep her here

for a couple more days.

I can take you to her.

Her room is right down the hallway.

How did you, uh, know to call me?

We found a notepad in her jacket pocket.

Your number was written on it.

I guess that would make sense that you would call me first.

Mr. Hewit, you're the only one we called.

Your number was the only number on the pad.

It didn't even have a name by it.

How long do we really have?

Top scientists around the world gathered today

via global video conference to discuss Micah Tech's

science division's less promising global timeline.

In an earlier Channel 1 News report,

Jude Micah stated, "Your scientists are lying to you."

U.S. government officials say that Micah Tech is using

scare tactics to increase sales of its Orion Intruder,

the world's only consumer spacecraft.

In our local news segment, field reporter Stacey Laurel

is live at the Chapel of the Rising Moon

to speak with two people who think the moon is coming

to save us, not hurt us.

Stacey?

Jim, I am here at the Chapel of the Rising Moon

with D'Artagnan and Flora,

two of the spiritual leaders of this growing religion

that is sweeping across America as we speak.

Stacey, here at the Chapel of the Rising Moon,

we -- we no longer use words like "religion."

The chapel teaches us that when

one or more are gathered in the light of the moon,

that we are baptized in a celestial unity,

and we welcome her heavenly body upon us.

Her radiant glow,

her supple bosom,

and her soft night's kiss.

Are you still a decent chess player?

Yeah. Well, it's been a while.

Don't expect a long game.

It has been a while. What, like two or three years?

Are we still talking about chess?

You know, I don't know
