00:03:09Hey, they got the power and we got the power to right here on FM 109 right now
00:03:15It's 54 big degrees in downtown Santa Fe with a low tonight of 42 degrees. It is 845
00:03:30You
00:03:36Have plenty of storage space. Mr. Kwan. We know you could use the extra money. I'm not interested
00:03:43You don't understand I
00:03:45Understand very well what you people sell. I don't want your drugs in my store. Mr. Kwan, please leave
00:03:52Oh
00:03:59Hey Kim, it's me Jeff. Yeah, I'm not done talking to you get out of my store
00:04:10Kim what what's going on? Do you think I came here to ask you a favor? You should be more respectful of our organization
00:04:20Kim
00:04:23You
00:04:30You're going to work with us you have no choice see you later old man
00:04:52You
00:05:03This is the third time this weekend to pick him up in the station I can't keep him in school
00:05:09His temper is getting worse and worse. I
00:05:13Can't even talk to my own son
00:05:15Not the hell's wrong
00:05:17He took his mother's death pretty hard call Kim we all did
00:05:23He's the only one walking around with a chip on his shoulder
00:05:26Don't see Adam acting like that. Do you Adam is too young to remember Elaine?
00:05:32All I know is he said
00:05:35I'm thinking of enrolling him in a military school one that specialized in discipline
00:05:41Doesn't sound so special
00:05:43Besides we both remember our experiences in the military
00:05:48Kim it's not like I don't love him anymore
00:05:53Just I cannot handle him
00:05:55There is another school. He might try
00:05:58Instead of discipline it teaches self-discipline
00:06:02It might help Jeff control his energy
00:06:06It's called Kempo school
00:06:09There's not one of those no hippie schools is it Oh God old school 2,000 years old
00:06:27Yes, this is master low
00:06:35Pass it down
00:06:38Oh
00:06:46Jennifer
00:07:09Oh
00:07:15Kimbo is a combination of ancient fighting techniques and modern scientific principles
00:07:22Unending flow of motion a force which can overwhelm any attacker
00:07:29Every move creates a specific reaction in your opponent each reaction leads you to your next move
00:07:37If you strike is the buck every block a strike
00:07:42Each move flows into the next
00:07:45This logical and sequential flow of action is the essence of Kimbo
00:08:07You
00:08:28Kempo can be the most lethal of the martial arts
00:08:32To control the power of Kempo you must first control yourself
00:08:39Train your spirit as you train your body
00:08:42developing inner strength
00:08:45balance
00:08:46And harmony as you learn
00:08:53The master of Kempo is more than an expert in karate
00:08:58He is a martial artist
00:09:02He is the master of himself
00:09:28Oh
00:09:46Yo, think about off the field
00:09:49To meet him
00:09:51Say what?
00:09:53Let's just forget about it. Okay
00:09:56No, no, no, no, let's not forget about it. Why don't you just do what I said off the field?
00:10:01I'll shove that pull up your ass. Try it
00:10:05Not gonna get away with it. Are you Adam? I said let's go. It's not worth it. It's not worth it
00:10:10What's that supposed to mean?
00:10:14You can kick my ass one foot
00:10:18Let's go. Oh, we're not done. I think we are
00:10:21Oh, well, I guess you just rather play with this pole then
00:10:28You little shit
00:10:51Oh
00:11:11Pull an ambulance now
00:11:13You
00:11:18The hell you think you were doing the guy hit Adam it's no excuse for what you did
00:11:24Try to kill that kid. I didn't my pure luck. You didn't
00:11:29Had no goddamn idea what you're doing. Did you they're totally out of control weren't I
00:11:35Sent you to Kempo school to control your temper. This is what you've learned. You haven't changed
00:11:41The only thing that's different is now you're dangerous
00:11:49I want you out of my house
00:11:51What do you mean? Someday you're gonna kill somebody. I don't want Adam around to see it. I want you away from Adam
00:11:58He got hurt today because he's trying to prove to you how tough he is because he wants to be like you
00:12:02Well, he's not like you and I don't want him to be like you till you stay the hell away from dad
00:12:08I want you out of my house and I want you away from Adam. Do you understand?
00:12:13Yeah, I'll just stay the hell away from everyone
00:12:24You have learned only half of what I teach Jeff
00:12:28You're strong. You're quick
00:12:30But you're only a tiger
00:12:33not a dragon
00:12:35The tiger does not think
00:12:39Therefore it cannot act
00:12:42It can only react respond
00:12:46The tiger is strong and fearless
00:12:49But it cannot initiate action
00:12:52That is the difference between man and tiger tiger is what I know
00:12:59The dragon is also very strong but full of wisdom
00:13:05The dragon fears what its strength can do
00:13:10This is the tiger
00:13:17This is the dragon
00:13:20Dragon always that's a choice
00:13:23the tiger never
00:13:26I have shown you the dragon, but you have not seen him
00:13:30You will not find the dragon in any dojo
00:13:34Experience will be your teacher
00:13:37You must find him for yourself
00:13:40In your own way
00:13:42And when you do I know
00:13:45Then I will have learned the dragon then
00:13:48You will be a man
00:13:51Jeff there's nothing here for me Kim. There is more here for you than you can see right now
00:13:57Don't you start to okay. I know all about what I can't see and can't feel and can't learn

00:18:01Maybe I should stick around a while. See if I can't change their minds. No, I appreciate your offer, but you are an outsider
00:18:09They would think I have hired you for protection

00:41:47I
00:41:49Was going to seek him on the day he died
00:41:53We had a meeting. I could have made things right for him
00:41:57Except that I waited too long
00:42:00And now my friend is dead
00:42:04And I did nothing to help him
00:42:06The man who murdered Kim must be punished and the punishment must fit the crime
00:42:15Tell me what you know
00:42:17There are four Oh job ones in Koreatown
00:42:20Mafia leaders any one of the three could have done it. Yeah, may Oh Toko
00:42:26whoa, Sam
00:42:28What about the fourth?
00:42:31the fourth
00:42:33What about the fourth the fourth Oh job on this young
00:42:39How do you know Jung didn't do it
00:42:42Because I am young and yet I can do nothing
00:42:47nothing
00:42:48If the other Oh job ones learned that I am seeking vengeance for my friend's death
00:42:53They would turn against me
00:42:55There would be total war in Koreatown
00:42:58Much blood would be shed
00:43:01Too much blood
00:43:06There is only one person
00:43:10Who can bring about justice without total war
00:43:15That is an outsider
00:43:21Will you do this thing you just point the way
00:43:30There's a man named Kai
00:43:32He's a soldier for hire. My people have heard him talking. I'm sure he knows the man who ordered Kim's death
00:43:40Where is this guy?
00:43:43We will find him
00:43:53The man on the right that's kind
00:44:00I
00:44:16Wanna live a name who ordered Kim's death
00:44:31Oh
00:44:33Sam no. No, I'm sorry. It's too dangerous
00:44:38Well, Sam is very heavily protected
00:44:41Besides you don't know him. Well, Sam is an animal you ain't
00:44:47We had an agreement
00:45:01Oh
00:45:02Sam lives in the Kokuma hotel. He owns it
00:45:07Everyone there works for him. The whole top floor is his
00:45:12The only way into the top floor is by private elevator
00:45:16From the garage to to the penthouse
00:45:20Be careful. There are guards at the gate in the basement at the top
00:45:27He's surrounded at all times
00:45:30I
00:46:00I
00:46:30I
00:47:00I
00:47:30I
00:48:00Huh
00:48:04What the hell me, okay
00:48:30I
00:48:46Don't want your money you took Kim's life
00:48:50No, I'm gonna take yours. I did not you can kill me, but I will not die staying alive
00:48:57Just die
00:48:58Dream alone stay away. No, let him go. What are you doing?
00:49:03He killed Kim. No way Sam was Kim's friend. It's like my uncle. He's been protecting me from young
00:49:10young
00:49:17Who lied to you
00:49:24Young a
00:49:25Man tells you something and you invade my home try and take my life in front of the eyes of my children
00:49:32You fingered a soldier named Kai
00:49:35Kai said you did it Kai works for young. Is that right?
00:49:42Why should I believe you more than young everybody in Koreatown knows young killed Kim dick
00:49:49Tracy
00:49:50Think young wants me dead, but he knows that we start a war that will destroy even him. So he sends an outsider
00:49:57An outsider who do anything to avenge a friend
00:50:01He can never be blamed. No evidence. No proof. Just some crazy stranger
00:50:08The perfect weapon
00:50:11What will you do now if I let you go
00:50:15Young and I have some unfinished business and I will finish it
00:50:21I'm going with you. Forget it. No way. You're gonna need my help. You're just a kid
