ARE YOU AFRAID?
ALEX TORRES: FEARLESS REPORTER IS AFRAID?
BRING IT ON.
OKAY.
THAT IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
MM.
MM?
MM!
NOT BAD?
MHMM.
I'VE BEEN WATCHING YOUR REPORTS.
SCARY STUFF.
IT'S GONNA GET WORSE.
ACCORDING TO MY SOURCES, COMM'S CRYING PAN-PACIFIC
BROTHERHOOD, THEY'RE SENDING A FLEET TO HAWAII,
AND IN RESPONSE, THE NORTH AMERICAN ALLIANCE HAS
THEIR ENTIRE MILITARY ON ALERT.
I MEAN, THERE COULD BE A WAR!
I THOUGHT THE UN WAS NEGOTIATING.
THE UN CAN'T NEGOTIATE A REAL ESTATE DEAL.
THEY'VE GOT NO TEETH, AND NO P.I. RATING.
SOMETHING GOING ON BEHIND THOSE GREEN EYES?
IF WE GO TO WAR, PEOPLE ARE GONNA DIE.
HAWAIIANS, NORTH AMERICANOS, COMMS, AND
MOST OF THE CASUALTIES WON'T EVEN REGISTER ON THE
P.I. METER.
YEAH, AND THEY'LL BE DOWN-ZONERS.
MHM. PEOPLE TOO POOR TO DODGE THE DRAFT OR BRIBE THEIR
WAY OFF THE FRONT LINE.
PEOPLE LIKE THOSE KIDS PLAYING FUTURESPORT OUT IN
THE STREETS.
IF I WANTED TO HOLD A PRESS CONFERENCE, COULD
YOU GET ME WORLDWIDE COVERAGE?
EVEN IF I DIDN'T TELL ANYBODY WHAT IT WAS ABOUT?
WELL, YOU ARE THE PHARAOH, EVEN THOUGH YOUR P.I.
RATINGS HAVE SLIPPED, YOU'VE STILL GOT THE
PRESIDENT BEAT BY TEN POINTS.
WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN MIND?
A PUBLICITY STUNT.
THE BIGGEST, STUPIDEST PUBLICITY STUNT IN
HISTORY.
I SUPPOSE MOST OF YOU ARE EXPECTING A RETIREMENT
ANNOUNCEMENT.
WELL, I HATE TO DISAPPOINT, BUT I'M NOT
READY TO GIVE UP THE GAME.
AT LEAST NOT TODAY.
I DO KNOW THAT I CAN'T PLAY FOREVER, AND WHEN
I'VE GONE, I'D LIKE TO BE ABLE TO SAY THAT I MADE A
DIFFERENCE.
WHEN WE PLAYED FUTURESPORT BACK IN THE DOWN ZONES,
WE USED IT AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR GANG WARFARE.
A WAY FOR US TO SETTLE SCORES WITHOUT HAVING TO
THROW DOWN.
NOW I'VE BEEN THINKING: IF THAT WORKED IN THE ZONE,
AND IT DID, WHY COULDN'T THAT WORK IN THE WORLD?
RIGHT NOW THE COMM AND NORTH AMERICA ARE SQUARING
OFF FOR ONE OF THE BIGGEST TURF BATTLES IN DECADES.
NO RULES, NO HOLDS BARRED, WINNER TAKE ALL.
AND IF THAT HAPPENS, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DIE.
WELL I SAY, IF WE'RE GOING TO ACT LIKE DOWNZONERS,
WHY NOT GO ALL THE WAY?
SO ON BEHALF OF MY GANG, THE NORTH AMERICAN
ALLIANCE, I CHALLENGE THE COMM TO A GAME OF
FUTURESPORT.
OUR TEAM AGAINST YOURS.
WINNER GETS RESPECT, BRAGGING RIGHTS, AND THE
HAWAIIAN ISLANDS TO BOOT.
NOW, I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE PROBABLY SAYING: THE
PHARAOH HAS LOST HIS MIND.
HE'S GONE COMPLETELY LOCO.
WELL, MAYBE I HAVE.
BUT LOOK AT IT THIS WAY.
WHICH WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE: ONE HIGH-STAKES GAME
OF FUTURESPORT, OR A WAR?
THE BALL'S IN YOUR COURT.
THANK YOU.
[APPLAUSE]
I CAN'T BELIEVE THOSE HARVEYS IN HONOLULU AGREED TO THIS.
STAKING EVERYTHING ON SOME DEMATA GAME?
UGH. THAT'S RUFIC! -THEY DIDN'T HAVE MUCH CHOICE KEAHI.
OUR COMM ADVISERS MADE IT VERY CLEAR THAT GIVING US
MONEY AND WEAPONS IS ONE THING, BUT NOBODY'S READY
TO GO TO WAR.
THERE WASN'T GOING TO BE A WAR.
THE MAINLAND WOULD'VE BACKED.
YOU SAID SO.
AND I WAS RIGHT.
THEY DID BACK DOWN.
THEY AGREED TO PLAY RAMZEY'S IDIOTIC GAME, AND
NOW WE CAN WIN OUR INDEPENDENCE WITHOUT EVEN
FIRING A SHOT, AND THERE ISN'T A DAMN THING ANY OF
THOSE LOYALIST HOWLERS IN HONOLULU CAN DO ABOUT IT.
BUT WHAT IF THINGS DON'T GO OUR WAY?
WHAT IF THE COMM LOSES?
THAT WOULD BE UNFORTUNATE.
SO, WE'LL JUST HAVE TO MAKE SURE THE COMM WINS.
ISN'T THAT RIGHT, MISTER FIXX?
LIKE TRE SAID, WINNER TAKES ALL.
[EXPLOSIONS]

YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT?
HELL YEAH.
I ONLY AGREED TO HELP TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM GETTING
HURT.
THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
DOUGLAS IS DEAD.
SO?
THAT'S ONE MAN.
IF THERE WAS A WAR, MILLIONS WOULD DIE, AND
MOST OF THOSE WOULD BE DOWN ZONE CANNON FODDER,
SO YOU WANT TO STOP THAT, YOU'LL HELP US.
I MAKE A PROMISE, I KEEP IT.
THAT'S WHAT I LIKE TO HEAR.
YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT?
IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN THIS WAY.
I MEAN THAT WAS THE WHOLE POINT OF THE STUPID GAME.
PREVENT PEOPLE FROM GETTING KILLED.
WELL TRE, IT WASN'T YOUR FAULT.
DOUGLAS KNEW WHAT HE WAS GETTING INTO.
HE BELIEVED IN YOU, WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO.
THAT DOESN'T MEAN HE HAD TO DIE FOR IT, ALEX.
WELL YOU DIDN'T KILL HIM.
HILO DID.
THEY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR IT.
WHAT IF IT DOESN'T WORK?
WHAT IF WE PLAY THE GAME, AND THEN NORTH AMERICA
AND, AND THE COMM, THEY STILL GO TO WAR?
WELL, RIGHT NOW THERE ARE TEN THOUSAND NA MARINES IN
TRANSPORT SHIPS SITTING OFFSHORE HONOLULU, NOT TO
MENTION THE ENTIRE COMM FLEET IS SOMEWHERE WAITING
IN THE PACIFIC, AND NO ONE IS FIGHTING YET BECAUSE OF
YOU.
AT THE VERY LEAST YOU'VE KEPT SOME OF THOSE
SOLDIERS ALIVE FOR A FEW MORE WEEKS, AND MAYBE IF
WE'RE LUCKY, THEY'LL NEVER HAVE TO FIGHT AT ALL.
EITHER WAY, YOU OWE IT TO THEM TO NOT GIVE UP AND
GIVE IT A TRY.
YOU OWE IT TO THEM AND YOU OWE IT TO DOUGLAS.
SORRY TO KEEP EVERYBODY WAITING.
WHERE'S WILLARD?
GONE.
HE SAID IT WASN'T WORTH THE RISK. -AND HE WAS RIGHT.
SO, ANY VOLUNTEERS.
I TALKED TO EVERY SINGLE COACH IN THE LEAGUE.
NO ONE IS INTERESTED IN TAKING OVER FOR DOUGLAS.
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
AFRAID IT MIGHT BE BAD FOR THEIR HEALTH?
THAT AND THE FACT THAT THE SALARY SUCKS.
BUT I DID FIND ONE PERSON STUPID ENOUGH TO TAKE THE JOB.
ME.
[LAUGHTER] -YOU.
I'VE BEEN PLAYING FUTURESPORT FOR TEN YEARS.
I KNOW EVERY SINGLE TRICK IN THE BOOK, AND THIS GAME
IS WAY TOO IMPORTANT TO JUST GIVE UP.
OH, SPARE US THE NOBILITY ACT, RAMZEY.

BOOST YOUR P.I. RATING?
TEN POINTS? TWENTY POINTS?
HOW ABOUT ZIP?

WATCH OUT, KIWI MADIGAN SLAMS MAYHEW.
HO HO, MY!
[SCREAMS]
AND BECKER SCORES!
AND LOOK AT MAYHEW, HE'S STILL DOWN.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS GAME HAS A WHOLE NEW SET
OF RULES.
FUCK! -ANARCHY!
I'M GONNA KILL HIM!
I'M GONNA FUCKING KILL HIM!

OH FUCK!
IT'S BROKEN. MEDIC!
PARK, YOU'RE IN.
FUCKING COCKSUCKER!
I'M GONNA KILL YOU!
OI, RAMZEY!
YOU'RE NEXT!
THE PHARAOH'S MOVING WELL DOWN THE COURT, SHAKING
OFF INTERFERENCE, FAKING A PASS FROM TIME TO TIME.
HANDS IT OFF TO BECKER, BECKER'S UP AND SCORES.
A RAMZEY ASSIST, HA!
NOW THAT'S A NEW ONE.
JET YUEN'S OPEN.
SHE PUTS IT HOME!
HO HO HO!
SHIT!
KRAJENSKI CLOCKS RAMZEY FOR NO APPARENT REASON!
NOW HOW MUCH MORE ABUSE CAN THE PHARAOH TAKE?
LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE RUNNING OUT OF PLAYERS.
FIXX?
I HAVEN'T DONE THIS IN A LONG TIME.
WISH ME LUCK.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, A NEW SUBSTITUTION FOR THE
NORTH AMERICAN TEAM.
HO HO! OBIKE FIXX!
THE MAN CREDITED WITH WITH INVENTING FUTURESPORT NOW
TAKES THE FIELD ON DEFENSE.
AREN'T YOU GETTING A LITTLE OLD FOR THIS?
YEAH.
WELL, I'LL JUST SHOW THEM HOW WE USED TO DO IT IN THE OLD DAYS.
DEAL.
BALL IS UP NOW, JAMISTON TRIES TO INTERFERE.
OH, TRIPPED UP BY OBIKE FIXX, AND HE'S NOT HAPPY
ABOUT IT.
STREET RULES.
I INVENTED IT.
OH, WOW.
WHAT A HIT.
A BRUTAL SHOT ON JAMISTON BY OBIKE FIXX.
THAT HAS TO BE ONE OF THE MOST BLATANT FOULS I'VE
SEEN IN TEN YEARS OF COVERING THIS GAME.
SHAME ABOUT YOUR BOYFRIEND.
YEAH, TRAGIC.
NOT BAD.
EVER THOUGHT OF GOING PRO?
[LAUGHING]
HEY, TELL MADIGAN FROM NOW ON, WE PLAY A CLEAN GAME.
I WOULDN'T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY.
♪♪
TRE'S RUNNING IN TO GET BETWEEN THE TWO TEAMS.
IT'S A PASS OVER TO RAMZEY, UP THE COURT
MOVING VERY FAST.
A MAN ON A MISSION.
LOOK AT HIS EYES.
UH OH, HE'S BOXED IN BY THE COMM AND UNABLE TO PASS.
WHAT'S HE GOING TO DO?
OH MY! CAN THIS!
ONLY THE PHARAOH MAKES MOVES LIKE THAT.
GREAT BLOCK BY FIXX, WHO CAME OUT OF NOWHERE.
HIS FIVE SECONDS ARE UP.
NOW THE BALL'S GIVING HIM ABUSE.
CAN HE HANG ON?
HO HO, MY. WHAT A PLAY.
TREMAINE RAMZEY RIDES THE LIGHTNING TO TIE THE SCORE.
NOW THAT WAS VINTAGE PHARAOH.
HOW MUCH TIME LEFT ON THE CLOCK?
TWENTY SECONDS.
GOOD. CAUSE I CAN'T TAKE MUCH MORE OF THIS.
IN JUST SECONDS, WE'LL KNOW HAWAII'S FATE.
NOW YUEN'S GOT POSSESSION AND SHE'S DRIVING HARD.
CLOSE, LOOKS GOOD, OH!
RAMZEY INTERCEPTED, AND HE'S GONE AIRBORNE! HO HO, BABY!
RAMZEY'S RIDING RIGHT INTO TROUBLE DOES HE HAVE ANY MORE MOVES LEFT?
TRE!
HE SCORES!
BLAKE SCORES!
NORTH AMERICA WINS!
NORTH AMERICA WINS!
43 POINTS FOR BLAKE BECKER, ONE OF THE MOST
INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCES IN FUTURESPORT HISTORY.
HEY HOTSHOT, WAY TO GO!
YEAH BABY.
THERE YOU GO. ENJOY.
[CHEERING]
MISS YUEN!
I MUST EXPRESS THE GRAVE DISAPPOINTMENT OF YOUR D-
SAVE IT.
I PLAYED YOUR GAME.
I'M OUT OF HERE.
YOU PLAYED? YOU LOST!
NO, YOU LOST!
AFTER ALL I'M A HERO OF THE PEOPLE.
P.I. RATING 205.
YOU ARE NOBODY.
PERFECT SCAPEGOAT.
ENJOY YOUR TRIP HOME.
FIXX! YOU ARE THE MAN!
YES. THANK YOU, MAN.
I COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU.
WELL, IF IT WASN'T FOR ME, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN IN
THIS SITUATION IN THE FIRST PLACE. -NO, NO .
JUDGMENT CALL. JUDGMENT CALL.
LISTEN, TRAINING CAMP STARTS REAL SOON.
THE LA RUSH NEEDS A COACH... -BAH, NO WAY MAN.
NOT MY THING.
NO NO, BESIDES, I THINK THE RUSH THEY HAVE SOMEONE
WHO'S A DINGY OF A COACH.
EVERYTHING I KNOW, I LEARNED IT FROM YOU.
TRUE.
YO Z!
PRESIDENT CLINTON'S ON THE LINE.
TELL CHELSEA I'LL CALL HER RIGHT BACK.
OKAY.
SO HOW'D I DO?
NOT BAD FOR A JOCK.
TRE.
UH OH.
WHAT DOES SHE WANT?
I'LL HANDLE IT. -UH HUH.
I WILL HANDLE IT.
COME TO SEE THE GAME?
I CAME TO SEE YOU.
AND I WASN'T DISAPPOINTED.
NO?
NO.
WELL, FIXX AND BLAKE.
THOSE GUYS WERE THE REAL HEROES.
I KNOW. YOU HANDLE THINGS RIGHT WITHIN TWENTY FOUR HOURS,
NOBODY WILL BE THINKING ABOUT THEM.
ALL THEY'LL CARE ABOUT IS YOU.
IS THAT HOW YOU PLAY IT TRE? HMM?
I'M SORRY I FLEW OFF THE HANDLE AT YOU EARLIER.
I'M SURE WE CAN WORK THIS OUT.
WHY DO I GET THE FEELING THAT WE WOULDN'T BE HAVING
THIS CONVERSATION IF I LOST?
YOU CAN'T BLAME ME FOR LIKING WINNERS.
BESIDES, WE COULD STILL BE FLASH TOGETHER.
YEAH, WE COULD BE FLASH.
BUT THAT'S NOT MY STYLE ANYMORE.
I'VE MOVED ON TO REAL.
TREMANE RAMZEY HAS LEFT THE BUILDING.
NICE LITTLE CHANGE OF PACE.
YEAH, WELL I'M GROWING UP.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WELCOME TO THE BLAST OFF
CLASSIC BETWEEN THE LA RUSH AND THE ALGIERS SIROCCO.
WITH TRE RAMZEY STEPPING INTO THE POSITION AS
PLAYER-COACH, THE RUSH ARE POISED ON THE BRINK OF A NEW ERA.
WHAT AWAITS THEM? DISAPPOINTMENT OR GLORY?
WE'LL SOON SEE, BECAUSE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
MESDAMES ET MONSIEURS, IT'S TIME TO PLAY
FUTURESPORT!
