Bro, I already told you I'm watching Netflix, Okay.

No, not Queen's Gambit, Cobra Kai.

Yes, I know I've seen it like three times, okay,

but the new season's out, I like to refresh my memory.

You know what I'm saying, I like to be there for it.

No, I can't.

I'm sorry, bye.

(sighs) Okay, where were we?

All right.

(seagulls mewing)

(upbeat music)

- [Radio DJ] Good morning, California.

It's been about a year

since Cobra Kai's big championship win

and with the huge spike of popularity,

the franchise branched out into schools

all through the nation,

called Cobra Kai Worldwide.

And in recent news, Deer Park High

is exactly one month away from their karate championship.

Let's see if they have what it takes.

(school bell rings)

(upbeat music)

- [Girl] Hey.

(upbeat music)

(crowd chattering)

(boys howling)

(crowd chattering)

- Yo. - What's up, man?

- You ready to train after school?

- I don't know, man.

Since they was saying something about some cement truck,

I'm not too sure how I feel about that.

(boys laughing)

- Yeah, yeah.

My dad saw them hauling it up this morning.

Your dad see anything?

- Nah.

He's too caught up in this whole marriage thing, man.

He's too busy trying that get situated with my new stepmom.

That's a whole situation I'm not trying to focus on.

But what I do wanna focus on

is how Cobra Kai gonna win this tournament though.

- (boys cheering)

- Yo, yo, yo, yo.

That's the new dude.

He was in my first period this morning.

- Oh yeah, I heard about him.

Heard he's from New York.

Got kicked out of school for fighting.

- Psst, I heard he put some dude in a coma.

- Man, I heard he woke him up out that coma

and knocked him into another one.

- Guys, man!

- Why's he dressed like that?

- Yeah, what's up with his glasses?

(boys laughing) - Guys!

- What's up with his clothes?

(boys laughing)

- Yo!

That's my stepbrother.

- What?

- Yo!

Yo, Derrick.

(Jordan laughs)

What's up?

- Why do you have glasses on?

- It's a Cali thing.

- Jordan! - What?

Wearing 'em to school has been the life.

- Take the glasses off.

- Take the glasses off

- Geez, what?

- You need to calm down, man.

I'm just trying to look out for you.

- Okay, I get it.

- Damn.

- Oh, so that's Cobra Kai, huh?

Hey, man, where I get one of those jackets at?

- Nah, that's not gonna happen.

- What?

What do mean?

Derrick, come on, you've seen me fight.

I'm good.

You know what I'm saying?

- Yeah, I know you're good, you're really good.

But you're not Cobra Kai good.

- All right, whatever.

I just got a text from mom.

Apparently her and your dad are going out tonight,

so I need you to give me a ride home.

- What, just like that?

- Just like that.

- You don't have a car?

- I just moved here.

- Uber?

- What is--

No.

No. - Okay, okay.

Just meet me after school, at the track.

- [Jordan] Okay. - I got you.

Stop smiling.

You smile too much.

(dramatic music)

(crowd howling)

(dramatic music)

(boy screams)

(crowd howls) - Yo bro.

Derrick, Derrick. - You dead, man, you dead!

- What?

What, are you gonna hit me too?

(dramatic music)

Hey, come on, man.

(dramatic music)

(crowd chattering)

- Thank you for that.

- Yeah, no problem, don't mention it.

I'm Jamie, by the way.

- I'm Jordan.

- Nice to meet you, Jordan.

Never seen anyone stand up to Cobra Kai like that.

- What?

Nah, that was just Derrick, he--

Derrick's my stepbrother.

He never used to be like that.

I don't know.

Maybe it's this whole Cobra Kai thing that's getting to him.

- I'm just glad you came when you did.

(bully claps)

- Jordan!

Jordan, Jordan, Jordan, Jordan, Jordan.

(clicks tongue)

(dramatic music)

Quite the performance you put on back there, man.

(soft music)

Run.

- Jamie isn't going anywhere.

(feet stomping)

(Cobra scoffs)

- Maybe you don't quite understand

how things work around here.

So let me break it down for you, yeah?

Either you're Cobra Kai or you're the enemy.

And see, all of that that you did back there?

Wasn't very Cobra Kai-like of you now, was it?

- Well, maybe I'm not Cobra Kai.

(dramatic music)

- Well then, you're the enemy.

(loud dramatic music)

(grunting)

(Jamie panting)

- Damn, it's a long hallway.

(dramatic music)

(grunting and groaning)

- Fight!

(crowd shouting and cheering)

(bully breathing heavily)

(crowd shouting and cheering)

- No mercy.

(bangs loudly) (crowd howls)

- That's the one, yeah!

(drums beating)

(crowd shouting and cheering)

- Stop! (crowd howls)

- I mean, maybe a little mercy.

(shouts)

(crowd shouting)

(drums beating)

(boy grunting)

(school bell rings)

(feet stomping)

(mop swooshing)

(feet stomping)

(soft music)

- Ah, my head is killing me.

(groans)

Wait, where am I?

- Storage room.

You may want to take your time getting back up.

(groans)

- Right.

Wait.

Wait, you just fought six Cobra Kai members.

Who are you, are you even the janitor?

- Of course I'm the janitor.

Why?

(groans)

- Out there, in the hallway.

What was that?

- Oh, that's just the old fashioned karate.

Karat--

Karate.

Real karate.

None of that garbage they're learning over at Cobra Kai.

- So you could teach me?

Come on, you have to help out.

- I do?

- Cobra Kai isn't going anywhere.

Someone has to stand up to them.

Yeah, that really doesn't sound like my problem.

- Yeah, you're right.

I'll just do-- - But since you're begging me,

I guess we could give it a shot.

(grunts)

- So you'll teach me?

- Sure.

Why not?

But if we do this,

I'm gonna need more students.

(dramatic music)

- Well, that was fast.

Jordan.

Is this them?

- [Jordan] Yes, Sensei.

- Damn.

(clears throat)

In this dojo, you will address me as Sensei.

Understood? - Yes, Sensei.

- I said, understood?

- [Students] Yes, Sensei!

- That's what's up!

How old are you?

- 17, Sensei.

- All right.

You.

What's your name?

- Tony with a Y.

- Say that again.

- I said Tony with a Y.

- Oh, welcome to my dojo, Tony with a Y.

(sniggers)

Hey, guys, it's Tony with a Y.

We love tony with a Y.

(everyone laughing nervously)

Mm!

Get out. - But, Sensei!

- Get out! (crying)

Yeah, get me a new batch.

Now.

We're gonna talk about this.

- Yeah. - Oh yeah.

(loud banging)

(screaming)

All right, all right, all right.

I'll teach you.

I'll teach you.

Karate.

Why's he so damn strong?

You're all here because Jordan says

you're the best Deer Park High has to offer.

And you're paying me $40 a month.

(clears throat)

Now, are you ready to learn?

- Yes, Sensei.

- I said are you ready to learn karate?

- Yes, Sensei!

- Good.

(mop swooshes)

(students panting heavily)

- Sensei.

Hey, Sensei--

- Young Jordan, what's up?

- We've been doing this for two weeks

and some of the guys are talking,

throwing words like

child labor, suing, lawyers

- Lawyers?

(scoffs)

Jordan.

Do you trust me?

- Yes, Sensei, but-- - Hey!

Do you trust me?

- Yes, Sensei.

- Then wipe the locker.

- Sensei. - I said wipe the locker!

Ha!

Mop the floor.

Ha!

Wipe the locker, ha!

Mop the floor, ha!

(Sensei shouting)

Good.

(soft music)

Now then.

Are you ready to learn karate?

- Yes, sensei!

(soft music)

- And up.

And up.

(stick breaking) (grunting)

- Oh, shit.

(groans)

(dramatic music)

- Arms! - Arms!

- Sun!

(dramatic music)

Begin, ha! - Ha!

(students shouting)

(grunting)

- Great, do it, do it. (students howling)
