[BOTH YELLING]
One, two. One, two, three.
[YELLING]
Okay, next technique.
Left jab,
left hook, round kick,
cross, round kick,
back hook kick.
[YELLING]
[YELLING]
Come on, hand fight.
Hand fight, mate. Come on.
[GRUNTS]
Come on, mate.
[PANTING]
That choke wasn't really on,
Michael.
I know, sir.
It's okay to lose
to an opponent.
But it's not okay to quit
or to lose to your fear.
Always find a reason
to keep going.
Okay?
Yes, sir.
All right! Go!
[GRUNTS]
[CHUCKLES]
Go, go! Aah!
[BEEPS]
[SIGHS]
[GRUNTS SOFTLY]
Hey, we already got
four new memberships this week.
Kids? Adults?
Uh, three kids and one adult.
All right, great.
Yeah.
And, uh,
we also have Arrio Gomez...
calling you out
any chance he can get.
He really wants to fight you.
He's been blowing up
our socials nonstop.
Here, check it out.
You know, he is, uh, actually,
in Australia, teaching seminars.
Alex never should have lost.
There's even rumors
he threw that last fight.
He retired because he saw me
comin' up in the ranks
and knew he couldn't beat me.
He was scared.
But the fans see him as
the greatest of all time
and they refuse to see me
as a true champion unless I...
Unless I beat him.
He doesn't wanna come out
one last time to fight me.
He's a coward.
[SCOFFS]
You responded, didn't you?
I handled it professionally.
Although
I would remortgage my house
to see you put him in his place.
I wouldn't remortgage
your house.
Arrio is something special,
and I'm not quite as good
as I used to be.
That's not
what the instructors say
after a session with you.
And you quit fighting
way too early.
[SIGHS]
[]
Hi.
Hi.
Uh, looking to get my boy
into some classes.
Hello. Yeah,
we can definitely do that.
But I'm going to have to pass
you over to Master Alex,
the owner of the school,
because I have to pick up
my daughter.
I'll see you after.
See ya.
Master Alex?
Yeah, please, call me Alex.
[CHUCKLES]
I'm Samantha.
And this is Terry.
Terry.
You wanna do some
martial arts training, huh?
How old are you, mate?
Five.
Oh, wow, you're small for 25.
No, 5.
Oh, sorry, 35.
Got it.
[CHUCKLES]
You got a really nice
little boy there.
Yeah, he's not bad.
So we have two programs
Terry can join.
We have kids taekwondo
and kids Brazilian jiu-jitsu,
which is a grappling art.
Okay.
Let's do it.
Yeah?
I'm sure you have adult classes,
but do you do private lessons?
Yeah, we do.
[GRUNTS]
Perfect.
Okay. [LAUGHS]
You okay?
Yeah.
Making some good progress.
Slowly.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
I'll, um... I'll pack up
and let you get changed.
Okay.
Yeah, absolutely.
Great.
Won't be a moment, mate.
I'm with her.
That's, um, Terry's father,
my ex-husband.
Oh.
He'd like to pay
for Terry's classes.
Hey.
Hey.
[CLEARS THROAT]
Why are you sweating?
Why are you sweating?
I just took a class here.
What class?
There's no one else around.
Um, it...
It was a private lesson.
It's something we offer
all new parents
when they first
bring their children in.
Would you like to book one
in for yourself?
Fuck no.
I've done my fair share
of martial arts.
It's been a while,
but I've still got it.
Still got what exactly?
Well, group of mates of mine
are heavily into it.
But me, I just punch a bag
in the backyard.
Love those backyard workouts.
Should we get Terry all
signed up and ready for classes?
Yeah, please.
Well, great.
Here's a membership
and direct debit form.

[ALL YELLING]
ALEX:
Violet! Come here!
Jab! Axe kick!
[YELLS]
ALEX:
Okay. Ready? Let's work!
You good?
Mm-hmm.
[INSTRUCTOR
SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY]
[STUDENTS ALL YELL]
Hey!
[CHUCKLES]
Whoa! Whoa! Oh.
Whoa! Whoa!
[GRUNTS]
Whoa!
[LAUGHS]
Whoa!
[YELLING]
Okay.
Too much tension.
All right, I need you
to loosen up.
Stay light, fast.
Tension makes you slow.
Let's go again.
Yeah, much better.
Good man. Yeah, good man.
And again, and again. Good.
[YELLING]
[CHUCKLES]
Are you okay?
I'm fine, sir.
[CHUCKLES]
Good stuff, James.
All right.
[GRUNTS, YELLS]
STUDENT: Oh!
Oh!
You gotta set
those big kicks up.
Can't throw out big kicks like
that out of nowhere, okay?
All right, let's go.
[GRUNTING, CHUCKLES]
Turn your back foot.
Hands up.
[BOTH GRUNTING]
[STUDENTS CHEERING]
[LAUGHS]
[ALL GRUNTING]
[SIGHS]
Good. Three moving forward.
[GASPS]
Oh!
Oh God! Shit.
[PANTING]
Are you okay?
Yeah, I just slipped
on my own sweat.
I should have told you,
"Don't-- Don't--
Don't fall
because I will laugh."
Okay.
[BOTH LAUGH]
You should have told me.
What about you?
Plans for tonight?
Just gonna hang with Terry.
Nice.
Um, okay, well, I'll see you
Monday for Terry's class.
Yeah, you will.
Okay.
Um, actually, since you're not
doing anything tonight,
I thought
maybe we could have dinner.
Oh, uh, Samantha, I--
I would love to,
but I have a rule where I don't
see students or parents
on a social basis outside
of the school.
Oh. Oh, yeah, I--
Of course.
I completely understand.
Under different circumstances...
It's fine, really.
Uh, I'll see you Monday then.
Yeah. See you Monday.
[SIGHS]
Samantha.
[PANTING]
Uh, I'm sorry.
If you'd still like
to have dinner,
I would love to join you.
Are you sure?
I mean, I-- I didn't mean
to make things awkward.
I never would have asked
if I knew.
I want to have dinner
with you, if that's okay.
Yeah, it's more than okay.
[LAUGHS]
I got to a-- a total
of five spinal surgeries,
two shoulder reconstructions,
a metal plate
with nine screws in my leg.
I, uh... I lost my last fight,
losing my title.
Doctors told me
it was about time I retired.
So I, uh... I let it all go,
and, uh, the school became
my primary focus.
Do you miss it?
Competing?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah. Yeah, sometimes.
But the training's what I love
the most, and I still have that.
Yeah, you look like
you love teaching.
Yeah, I do.
I love watching
the students grow,
especially the children.
WAITRESS:
Here you go.
Is there anything else
I can grab you guys?
No, I think we're fine.
Good.
Thanks.
Enjoy.
So, uh, you, uh...
You just have Terry with Victor?
Yeah.
And you guys are separated,
divorced?
Divorced, three years now.
Oh. Uh...
Why did I get the feeling it
was more of a recent thing?
Um, Victor's had
a really hard time letting go.
And that can be
really frustrating.
I've moved on with my life,
so he has to as well.
Well, I'm glad you've moved on.
[CHUCKLES]
Looks kind of weird.
I didn't even notice.
Because you were-- You were
paying too much attention to me.
Exactly. That's exactly--
Yeah, right?
[BOTH LAUGHING]
Hi!
I wanna cancel
my son's membership.
Oh, for Terry?
Can I ask why?
Because of this prick here.
He's tryin' to fuck my wife.
Excuse me?
I'm sorry?
I saw these two comin' out
of a restaurant together.
That is my fucking wife.
Thank you for coming in, Victor.
We'll take care of it
right away.
Might take a little bit more
than a subtle hint.
I think you should leave too.
We can discuss further outside
if you'd like,
but you do need to leave. Now.
Inside, outside...
What does it matter?
Nothing's gonna happen
on camera, is it?
I said discuss,
which means talk.
Now, we don't have cameras
anywhere outside in the complex.
Now, if you don't mind...
All right.
Let's talk.
Look, a, uh...
A lot of children
and their parents
are gonna be arriving soon.
What, you don't
want people to know
that you tear families apart?
I'm sorry you're upset, Victor,
but it's best you leave
and we can talk another time.
[]
Don't do that.
[GRUNTING]

[GROANING]
[FINGERS CRACK]
[YELLS IN PAIN]
[GROANS]
I don't ever wanna
see you here again.
You understand?
[EXHALES DEEPLY]
[KNOCKS ON DOOR]
You know, I feel like
he's forever taking my air,
and no matter how hard I try
to separate my life from his,
he just...
He just won't let go.
[SIGHS]
Might sound a little harsh,
but, uh...
talking to the police
about a restraining order
could be an option.
I already have one in place.
Then why is he still
on top of you?
Because he just refuses
to comply with the orders.
And what am I gonna do?
Am I gonna call the police
on Terry's father?
Have him arrested?
Well, you might have to
if you want him to stop.
I, um...
I just have to be really careful
when it comes to Victor.
[SIGHS]
You know, everyone says
that it's
the physically-abusive partner
that you run from.
[TAKES SHUDDERING BREATH]
But what he did
to me mentally...
that was, like,
a thousand times worse.
I'm so sorry.
Hey, don't be. Come here.
[]
[]
ALEX:
A week before
my last fight, I, uh...
I found out I was infertile.
The spinal surgeries
had taken their toll.
And so... So going into that
last fight, my, uh...
My mind was--
Was all over the place.
You know, I, uh...
I didn't really lose
that last fight.
I quit.
I let the guy take my back
and choke me out.
[LAUGHS, SNIFFLES]
Never told anyone that before.
Did you tell Cara about--?
Yeah. I did.
A few days after the fight.
She said she was okay with it,
but, uh, I wasn't.
You broke up with her?
Yeah, I had to.
Oh, she was--
She was eight years younger
than me.
I couldn't take
having a child away from her.
[SOFTLY]
Oh, Alex, I am so sorry.
Yeah, it was...
It was hard at first.
But, hey, she moved on.
Again. Head...
foot, sweep.
Let's go.
Yeah. He's a--
He's a bit of an odd guy.
Yeah. Ugly one, eh?
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
Victor Dimov.
I don't know the name.
So that's a good thing.
[PHONE CAMERA CLICKS]
All right.
Appreciate it, mate.
Um, you gonna be in classes
this week?
I'll try.
Okay.
See you soon.
ALEX: All right.
[LAUGHING]
Oh, push-- Body slam!
[YELLS PLAYFULLY]
I win. You're pinned.
Round two later.
Give me five.
All right. All right.
Hi, ladybug.
What do you want?
[CHUCKLES]
Can I have some money
for ice cream, Mom?
Ice cream?
Yep.
Yeah. Okay.
[GASPS]
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Oh, do you want me to help you?
No. I can do it.
Okay.
[ALL YELLING]
Whoa!
[]
ALEX:
Elbow to elbow!
Good. Go, full extension!
[ALL GRUNTING]
Good, six, go!
[YELLING]
One, two.
[GRUNTING]
[MAN LAUGHS]
[GROANS]
[CHEERS]
[OVERLAPPING
INDISTINCT COMMENTS]
Escape or finish!
This is a good-- Yeah, good--
Oh, very nice!
Kick-- Yeah!
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
So jab and snap.
Give that a try.
[YELLS]
That was good.
You didn't tell us
you had prior training.
Just a little,
when I was a kid.
Well, I'll leave you to it.
[YELLS]
Yeah, with your front hand...
With your front hand, one...
Kick.
Turn. Turning here, okay?
Cross. Run. Nice!
Okay, now remember we have
white belts in the class,
so no contact sparring.
You keep moving, keep a safe
distance and do not touch.
Plenty of time for full contact
as you get high through
the ranks, okay?
Attention. Bow.
Sparring position!
Okay, go!
[BOTH YELL]
[]
You okay?
Yeah.
I said no contact, guys.
Why would you two come
to a beginners class?
Sorry.
We've got a little overexcited.
I just wanted to find out
if taekwondo was
a real martial art.
Have you ever wondered how
your training would measure up
against more of a...
military-style martial art?
No.
Interested in finding out?
I think it's time you both left.
We'll leave.
I apologize for embarrassing you
in front of all these students.
Not embarrassed at all.
[GRUNTING]
[GASPS]
[BOTH GRUNTING]
[PANTING]
ALEX:
You need to stop
and get out now.
[]
[BOTH YELLING]
[WHISPERS]
That was bad.
[GROANING SOFTLY]
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
[BOTH YELLING]
[GROANS]
[GROANS]
[PANTING]
You're done.
You need to get out now.
Both of you.
[BOTH GRUNTING]
[YELLING]
Wait, wait, hey! No.
You step back.
They'll be here any second.
[SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE]
Get out of our school.
[SIREN GETTING CLOSER]
VIOLET:
It's ice cream time, Mom.
ALEX:
Oh, wait, wait. I got this.
Yeah, here you go.
Gotta get rid of my change.
Thanks.
You wanna come with us?
I've got money, it's my shout.
No, it's my shout.
I gave you the money.
I have the money,
so it's my shout.
Ooh, she's got you there.
[CHUCKLING]
She does.
Well, thank you, Violet.
That's really nice of you.
And I want to,
but I think I could do
without eating ice cream.
You're missing out.
[CHUCKLES]
Love you. Have fun. Be careful!
VIOLET & LAINEY:
Okay!
What are you gonna get?
Mm, maybe-- I don't know.
[BOTH GIGGLING]
You ready?
[BOTH GIGGLE]
'Cause he's got such
a tiny little frame.
[CHUCKLING]
Look how small they are.
So beautiful.
[]
Sprinkles.
That's the whole point
about ice cream.
Okay.
Anyways, what do you like
to do for school?
[MUFFLED SCREAMS]
ALEX:
Belly down. Tap, tap, tap!
Good, very nice. Good boy.
Good girl, Sudais.
Alex, have you seen
Violet or Lainey?
I thought they were with you.
Did you see them come back
from ice cream?
No.
Okay, I'll go-- I'll go check.

[SIREN WAILING]
[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE]
[SIREN WAILING]
[BREATHING RAGGEDLY]
ALEX: Julie?
Police said
they'll keep searching.
And they're insisting
we go home, get changed,
and we come back out
at first light.
No, no, we-- We can't stop.
We have to find them.
No, no, we're not stopping.
Just a little reset,
then we continue, okay?
We need to keep looking
for them.
No, we will, okay?
We're not stopping.
Then let's go.
Julie, wait.
No! You--
You do not understand.
We do not stop looking for them.
Okay?
Julie, we don't--
No, we do not stop looking
for them!
We have to find them!
Okay? Alex, we have
to find them, please.
[SOBBING]
Please, you don't unders--
Julie, I--
It's my daughter.
We just need a moment.
Please.
Just-- Just-- No, no, no, wait!
Please. Let me find her!
Just a second.
Just a second, okay?
Please, okay? Just a second.
No...
[SOBBING]
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATION]
[SOFTLY]
Hey.
I, uh... I-- I brought a poster
to put up of the girls,
if you don't mind.
We'll put them up right away.
C-Can we talk for a minute?
Yeah, of course. Um...
Do you wanna go
to the office?
Yeah.
Uh, I was at the police station
most of the day,
and they said you'd been in.
Thank you.
I, uh... I can't--
I can't get in contact
with Wayne.
Yeah. Me either.
He doesn't have access
to his phone.
He's on a...
On a training exercise
in the desert
with strict radio silence, so...
[SOFTLY]
Oh, shit.
What am...
What am I gonna say to him
when I finally see him?
"You were too busy
playing soldiers,
so I couldn't tell you."
Your telling him is out of
your control right now, Julie.
I mean, what am I gonna say
to him, Alex, 'cause I don't--
I don't know
what I'm going to say to him.
It's been over a week now,
Alex. A week.
And some of the stuff
I've been reading says
that abducted children
sometimes are killed
within the first two hours,
but mostly
within the first two days.
Fuck! Don't say that.
Please don't say that.
Look, we're gonna find them.
M-missing children
are found all the time.
But rarely after a week, Alex!
A week.
[SOBS]
[CLEARS THROAT]
Mmm.
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
[]
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
Here are the cancellations.
Okay.
Yeah.
[KEYBOARD CLACKING]
Would you mind checking
on Julie?
She's been in there
for a while now.
Yeah, of course.
I forgot she was in there.
Julie?
[KNOB RATTLES]
Julie, you in there?
I'm gonna unlock the door,
Julie.
SAMANTHA:
Alex?
Oh, geez!
Julie?
Hey, Julie, look at me. Julie?
Call an ambulance.
Okay.
Hey, hey, hey.
[]
Hey!
Eat!
Excuse me, sir.
When can we go home?
[]
[GRUNTS]
[GROANS]
There's no talking allowed
in here.
If I hear any more voices...
you'll be eating a bullet
instead of beans.
Hello?
What are you names?
Violet.
Lainey.
My name's Jenny.
[SNIFFLES]
Sorry, I just woke up.
Yeah, I can see that.
We've been waiting almost
an hour.
Yeah, I'm here now.
Hey, dog balls, eh!
Let's go get drunk!
[VICTOR SNORTS]
Oh, come on, I'm just playin'.
Come on.
You okay?
[SNORTS]
Good boy. See you soon, okay?
Bye, Mom.
Bye, baby.
What's the rush?
Huh? How's things
with the karate guy?
Oh, why, you're not following us
anymore?
I apologize for that.
[SCOFFS]
Hey, you know I always
just wanted us to be
a family again, that's all.
Yeah, that's not gonna happen.
Yeah, I know.
I knew it the moment
I saw you guys together.
So I heard on the news
about the girls.
How the fuck did that happen?
Nobody knows.
That's a parent's
worst nightmare, isn't it?
Yeah. Yeah, it's horrible.
Look, I'm sorry, okay?
I know I got off on
the wrong foot with your bloke.
I mean, I know Terry loves
that school.
He just-- He...
He can't stop talking about it.
So if there's anything I can do
to help, you let me know, okay?
Thanks.
I think the police have it
under control.
Oh, they have any leads?
Sam, hey.
Don't do that.
What if that was Terry?
What if that was our boy?
I'm just being
a concerned parent, that's all.
The police don't have
any leads.
So it doesn't look good.
Hey. Take care.
Whoo! Go on, dog balls!
I already told you,
his daughter's gone missing
and his wife's in hospital.
I am family. We're cousins.
Okay, I--
Okay, I'm-- I'm sorry.
Just please pass on
the message if you can.
What's going on?
Julie can't get in contact
with Wayne.
He's on
a strict military exercise
and he can't be contacted.
Surely they can make
an exception.
No. Doesn't work that way
at his level.
[SIGHS]
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
[]
Aah! Face, aah!
Good, nice!
Bang, and then go.
[YELLS]
Then we--
One!
[GRUNTS]
He has an Australian
military background
and lived in Romania for five
years after he left the army.
Apart from his ex-wife having
an AVO against him, he's clean.
Yeah, Victor's the last thing
on my mind, mate.
Of course. Sorry.
Yeah, it's okay.
Has there been anything at all
on the girls?
Yeah, it's been
over two weeks now.
That's not good, is it?
The more time passes...
the less likely
they'll be found.
How's Julie doing?
Yeah, well...
they're keeping
her in the hospital.
They're treating it
as a suicide attempt.
She told me she wasn't trying
to kill herself, though.
She...
She was just trying
to make the pain stop.

Hey.

Alex.
I was very sorry to hear about
the girls that went missing.
I really hope they're found.
Yeah, me too.
Anything else
I can help you with?
Do you mind if I jump in class?
Sure.
Don't think any of my students
are at your level yet...
but they'll give you
a good workout.
Thanks.
From here, two.
One.
[]
Three six-minute rounds.
Start on your knees with your
partner and then we are done.
Let's go.
[SIGHS]
Mind if I sit
these rounds out?
Well, isn't this part
what you came here for?
Might save
a little energy for now.
All right, suit yourself.
See you later.
Good night.
See you.
When I was comin' up,
I promised myself
if I was gonna be a true world
champion, I had to beat you.
You're the IFL champion
of the world.
I mean, what do you need
to fight me for?
[EXHALES DEEPLY]
Because I never beat you.
When you lost...
or threw...
your last fight...
you retired.
You were the best.
[SCOFFS]
You're seven years younger
than me, Arrio.
I haven't fought in years.
I've had surgery after surgery.
Beating me now
won't mean a thing.
But if I beat you...
can you live with that?

You tried to take my pride
I don't want piece of mind
I want the whole cake
Done with it
I got a lump in it
I am just a man

Another man
That's drawn
The upper hand?
I don't need a weapon
