For what you stand to gain

Just know that if you hide

It doesn't go away"

Mr. LaRusso told them all to wait inside so that the adults could talk.

But of course they didn't listen and stayed close to the door so they could hear everything.

"Daniel LaRusso. It's nice to see you again." The strange man said.

"Yeah, right. Bullshit." Daniel replied as he walked towards them.

"Fair enough. I'd probably react the same way if I were you. My past behavior was... inexcusable." The man told him.

Mr. LaRusso looked skeptical.

"If I could go back and undo it all, I would. All I can say now is, I'm truly sorry. And I assure you, I'm not that man anymore." He told him.

"I don't know what padded room you crawled out of or what twisted game you two are playing, but if you don't get off my property right now, I swear to god-" Daniel told them sounding really angry.

"Your dad is pissed. Who is that guy?" Miguel asked Sam as they all watched them talk.

"I have no idea." The girl replied.

"He looks like a Highlander." Bert told them, confusing them.

"The Highlander. There can only be one." Nathaniel told him, slightly offended.

Maeve shook her head at them, her focus going back to the conversation.

"Okay. I tried. We still hold our students to a moratorium on fighting before the tournament, for what it's worth." The tall man told LaRusso.

"Provided, of course, you did the same." He continued.

Maeve grimaced, she knew it was a bad idea to pick a fight.

Then Kreese stepped forward.

"Just remember our deal. If Cobra Kai wins the All Valley, you two are done teaching. For good." He smirked at them.

"That's not gonna happen, because you're not gonna win. Now get the hell out of here." Mr. LaRusso told them.

The mysterious man shook his head and went to walk away.

Kreese turned to her dad.

"Has it really come down to this? Johnny Lawrence playing second fiddle to little Danny LaRusso?" He asked him.

Maeve's jaw clenched.

"No one's second fiddle. This is my dojo as much as it is his." Her dad told him.

"Really? Sign out front says Miyagi-Do." Kreese told him.

He just wanted to get under his skin.

"Unless you want it crammed up your ass sideways, you'd better take off after your bridge partner." Johnny told him.

Kreese chuckled and walked away.

Her dad then approached Daniel.

"Who the hell was that?" He asked the question they were all thinking.
