[birds singing]
[Amanda sighs] Mm.
Last night was fun.
-[Daniel] Mm. -Hmm.
-We've gotta do that more often. -[chuckles] Definitely.
You don't think the kids heard us, do you?
Well…
they didn't hear me.
Oh, stop it. [laughs]
[door knocking]
Hey, Sam, good morn--
Where is she?
-[video game sounds] -Anthony. Have you seen your sister?
Not since yesterday, when I got home from camp.
Can you make me waffles?
Uh, not the frozen kind. The ones you make from scratch.
[call tone ringing]
-Hey, it's Sam, leave a message. -[sighs]
-It's still going to her voice mail. -Robby's not picking up either.
-You think they're together? -Well, they are teenagers…
who have been living together all summer.
No way. I'm not ready to go there. You know, I…
-trusted Robby. Sam better be OK. -[laptop chimes]
[scoffs] You need a password.
[laptop beeps]
What? Don't look at me like that. Now is not the time.
[laptop chimes]
Why would she ask if she's OK?
She was drinking?
[Amanda] The cops?
-What are you doing? -I should have thought of this sooner.
Find My iPhone.
Here it is.
She's somewhere between Sherman Way and Saticoy?
What is she doing in Reseda?
[police siren wails]
[high-pitched ringtone plays]
[Johnny] Another new update?
-I just got this. -[Robby] Hey.
Thanks for letting us crash here last night.
It's no problem.
But, look, I'm gonna have to tell LaRusso about this.
-It's his kid. -[Robby] Please don't.
If he sees her like this, it'll crush him.
Let me take the blame.
I'll say I got drunk and told Sam to bring me here.
Should be right… here.
What the hell?
Johnny?
-[Robby] Oh no. -[door knocking]
Johnny, come on, I saw your car outside. I know you're in there, open up.
Go in the other room. I got your back.
[Daniel] Johnny?
-Hey, man. -Is my daughter here?
Yeah, just calm down.
Don't tell me to calm down. Where is she?
Look, they had a crazy night.
Kids do these things. Just don't overreact.
OK. Who the hell are you to tell me about parenting?
You need to open this door right now.
-Hey! -I don't need to do anything
until you cool off.
-[grunts] -[dramatic music plays]
-[beer can clatters] -Sam?
[Johnny] What the hell is wrong with you?
[dramatic music intensifies]
Fight!
[yells]
[Johnny grunts, yells]
[Johnny growls]
What is going on out there?
You wanna finish this?
Bring it on.
-Dad, stop! -[Robby] Don't!
Sam. What happened? Are you OK?
-Yeah, I… I'm fine. -Why didn't you call or text us?
Mr. LaRusso, it was my fault. I brought her here.
Wait, don't even start.
I gave you a second chance.
This whole thing was a mistake. You know, you wanna end up like him,
that's up to you.
-All right, come on, Sam. -Please, Dad.
Sam, I don't wanna hear it. Let's go.

You had to pull up right in front?
If you wanted to drive, you wouldn't have done what you did.
Dad, how many times do I have to tell you I'm sorry?
I made a mistake.
Everyone makes mistakes.
But when you get in trouble, you come to me or your mom.
Not…
that guy.
I'm sorry I didn't come to you and Mom.
But that was my fault, not Robby's.
I thought I could help him, but…
But he's got his own family. I need to focus on mine.
Just do me a favor, OK?
This year, just concentrate on precalculus, OK?
Got you some pencils and some paper.
I wasn't sure what you need.
Thanks.
Couldn't find a Trapper Keeper. Are those still cool?
-I don't know what that is. -I had one with a fighter jet.
It was awesome.
You OK? Nervous about your first day?
No.
I just feel bad about Sam and the LaRussos.
[Johnny sighs]
I know you don't wanna hear it, but Mr. LaRusso was good to me.
Miyagi-Do Karate helped me out a lot.
[phone ringing]
Look, all I'm saying is maybe you guys can learn
a thing or two from each other.
All right, you better go.
Thanks for driving me, Dad.
Hi there. You've reached the smartphone answering machine
of Johnny Lawrence, sensei of Cobra Kai Karate.
Please leave a message, and I will get back to you when I get a chance.
[Robby] Excuse me?
I'm new to this school.
Can you help me find Miss Santino's class?
Hey.
Oh.
It's that bad, huh?
I feel like an idiot.
We should've just gone to my house and been honest with my parents.
I'm sorry.
No, it's my fault too.
From now on,
no more lying.
I have to tell you something.
Miguel gave me the Medal of Honor.
And I put it in the backyard so someone would find it.
Why would you do that?
I didn't want him to earn any points with you.
And we had just kissed and…
I guess I felt insecure.
Thank you…
for telling me the truth.
Well, it feels better to get that off my chest.
-Robby-- -[school bell rings]
Well… can't be late on my first day.
See you later.
Good morning, students and faculty.
Welcome to a brand-new year at West Valley High.
I hope you all had a wonderful summer and are ready to dive back
-into the school year. -Dude, you kissed Sam?
-Yeah. -Nice!
No, not nice. I shouldn't have done that to Tory.
Why limit yourself to one chick?
I'm planning on having a full rotation by the time we get to midterms.
-What? -[boy] Hey, man.
Just wanted to say I wet the bed till I was 13.
There's nothing to be ashamed of.
Get the hell out of my face!
[students laughing]
-What's that guy's problem? -I don't know.
[announcer] You can also purchase tickets for the fall musical,
which will be a production of the global hit, Grease.
Uh, I do appreciate your passion, taking initiative and all,
but this is highly unusual timing.
And your resume's a little spotty.
I mean, do you have any actual security guard experience?
Mr…
Oh, "Stingray."
Just one word. Stingray.
Mm…
I don't have any actual experience, per se, but I just recently won
the Black versus Red Challenge at Coyote Creek.
-No big deal. -Mm.
Except for the karate community, it's a very big deal.
My sensei's been very pleased with my progress.
And I think, in time, you will see a yellow belt
strapped around my midsection.
[Lopez] I see.
This is a very nice setup you have here, by the way.
It's, uh… it's terrific.
My question for you is…
what is the teachers' lounge situation looking like?
[announcer] And finally, as we embark upon another academic year,
it's important to remember to be tolerant and accepting
-of all of our peers, regardless of-- -[door opens loudly]
Hey, what… You're not supposed to be in here!
No! No!
-[microphone feedback squeals] -Give that back!
Ow!
You're not allowed to--
Samantha LaRusso.
You know what you did, and now you're gonna pay for it.
[students murmuring]
I'm coming for you, bitch!
-[students exclaim excitedly] -[school bell rings]
[suspenseful music plays]
[suspenseful music intensifies]
[girl] Whoa.
I saw what you did at the party.
You kissed Miguel.
[students] Ooh!
[shocked muttering]
I…
-[Sam and Tory grunting] -[students gasping]
[Hawk] Get back in there.
[students clamoring]
[boy 1] Yeah, get her!
You OK?
-[Robby] Stop! -[students] Ooh!
[boy 2] Let her go!
Hey!
-[Robby] Settle down! We can figure this-- -[Miguel roars]
[students] Ooh!
Hey, man, we gotta do something.
Good idea.
I'm gonna get a teacher.
Oh, it is on!
-[roaring] -[grunting]
Yeah!
-I'm not gonna throw the first punch. -Too bad.
[boy 3 grunts]
You're going down, nerd.
Come and get it, dickhead.
[grunting]
[Tory growls]
-[Samantha strains] -[Tory] Ah!
Stop fighting!
Stop!
Oh, you want some of this?
Aah! Oh!
[grunting]
Come on, guys, can't we all just get along?
-[boy 4 roars] -[Moon screaming]
[Hawk grunting]
[Miguel and Robby grunting]
[Sam and Tory grunting]
[Sam growls]
[Tory screams]
-[students] Ooh! -This is out of control!
Get me security in the main corridor, right away!
It's OK, sir. I got this.
[students clamoring excitedly]
[boy 5 yelps]
Yeah!
-Hiyah! -[boy 6 screams]
-[students] Ooh! -[Stingray] Uh-huh.
[all clamoring, yelling]
[grunting]
[Sam panting] Can't you just stop it already?
What's the matter? You can't keep up?
Ah!
-[Sam screams] -[students] Ooh!
You have to do something, Mr. Palmer.
Hey! Break it up!
[teacher groans]
Screw this. They don't pay me enough.
Not again.
[Miguel groans]
You can't cheat your way out of this one.
Like that move? Learned it from your dad.
[Sam yelps]
[grunting]
-[boy 7] Come on! Hit him! -[Sam] Get off!
Go! Go!
[grunting]
-[students] Ooh! -Should've stayed in Cobra Kai.
You could've been a badass.
Who's badass now?
[dramatic music plays]
Demetri!
I know you're in here.
Figured you'd hide in the computer lab, you damn nerd!
I'm coming for you.
[panting nervously]
-[Demetri gasps] -Boo.
-[Demetri] Shit! Shit! Shit! -Come here, Demetri!
[grunting]
Tory, enough!
Wait!
[seething breaths]
[both grunt]
[Robby] Sam!
[Tory grunts]
[eyeglasses shatter]
Oh, now you're in trouble.
[grunting]
[Bert] Get off me!
[guard] Hey! Hey! Come on!
Stop! Come on!
-No, come on. -Let me at him.
-[guard] You're done. -I'm not, loser. Come on. Get over here!
[both yell]
[Sam screaming]
[both grunting]
[panting]
Is that the only way you know how to fight? Dirty?
This isn't a tournament.
There are no rules.
[students murmuring]
[grunting]
[Hawk roars]
No hard feelings. [grunts]
[students] Oh!
[Demetri] Sorry…
Eli.
[grunting]
That's for taking advantage of Sam!
-I would never. -Then why did it happen?
[Miguel yells]
[screams]
[whimpers]
[both panting]
No mercy.
-[Tory strains] -Ah!
[Tory pants]
[groans]
[grunting]
-She doesn't love you. She loves me! -[roars]
[Robby straining painfully]
[panting]
I wasn't taught the difference between mercy and honor,
and I paid the price for it.
If I'm extra hard on you,
it's only because you have the potential to be better than I ever was.
You want that, don't you?
[melancholic music plays]
-[Robby gasping] -I'm sorry.
[roars]
[students gasp]
Miguel!
-[cracking sounds] -[students gasp]
[officer] Clear the way! Clear the way!
We need an ambulance at West Valley High.
Robby, what did you do?
[gasping]
[soft music plays]
[Amanda] Daniel!
-I just got a call from the high school! -What's wrong?
[high-pitched ringtone plays]
Ugh. How do I change that?
Stupid smartphone.
[Carmen screams] Oh, God, Miguel! Miguel!
Carmen?
[doctor] You've seen your fair share of these.
So, you know the next 24 hours are critical.
But he's gonna pull through, right?
[doctor] We're doing everything we can.
Excuse me.
[both sobbing]
I'm so sorry.
Sorry?
Before Miguel met you, he was a sweet boy.
He avoided fights.
-Now look what you did! -[in Spanish] Carmen, not now.
[in English] I never want to see you again.
[sighs]
It's all right now, OK? Everything's gonna be all right.
I'm gonna make sure this girl gets expelled.
I don't care about Tory.
I just want Miguel to be OK. [sobbing]
I can't believe Robby would do that.
-It's all my fault. -What? No! No!
No, don't say that, Sam.
[sobs]
[phone chimes]
Hey, Sensei, it's Miguel.
I knocked on your door this morning, but I guess you already left.
I'm having some girl trouble and, well…
you're better at this sort of thing than me.
I'll come by the dojo after school.
My mom's working tonight,
so maybe we could grab a burger at that place you like?
All right, talk to you later.
[sobbing]
[medical instruments beeping, hissing]
[sighs]
[elevator dings]
[door clatters shut]
[elevator dings]
[car door slams]
[group chanting] Hai kyu! Hai kyu!
Hai kyu! Hai kyu!
-Hai kyu! Hai kyu! -Class!
We have a visitor.
What the hell do you think you're doing?
What does it look like? I'm teaching my students.
Your students?
You let them down when they needed you the most.
Somebody needed to remind them what it takes to win.
[scoffs]
After everything I did for you?
Miguel's in the hospital because of you.
He showed mercy to Robby Keene because of you. If he dies…
that's on you.
[Kreese] I did warn you about this.
I told you not to show weakness.
Get out.
This is my dojo.
Oh, I forgot to tell you.
When you were out of town, I had a little talk with the landlord.
It turns out he doesn't like you much.
But you know the problem with those… handshake deals.
There are no guarantees.
You can't do this.
Of course, I can.
I founded Cobra Kai.
It belongs to me.
It always has…
and it always will.
I will never let my students lose.
Even if they have to learn the hard way.
One day you'll thank me for this, Johnny.
[Johnny scoffs]
This was a mistake.
[breathes heavily]
You want Cobra Kai?
It's yours.
Class…
forward strike.
Aits!
[students chanting] Hai kyu! Hai kyu!
Hai kyu! Hai kyu!
Hai kyu!
[PA] Paging Dr. McMillan to the path lab.
Hey, where is she?
I got her her favorite sandwich from il Tramezzino.
Still waiting for her to get back from her X-rays.
Now the doctor thinks she might have cracked a rib.
Oh God.
This has to stop, Daniel.
I know, you're right. I know, I swear.
I…
I'm not gonna let Cobra Kai get away with this.
-I'm not-- -Enough with Cobra Kai!
Don't you see what this stupid rivalry has done?
Our daughter is in the hospital.
-No more karate. -OK. All right.
-Amanda, I know, you're right. -No more karate.
It's over.
