DARIEL AND MIYAGI'S POV ~-JOHNNY 3

the second-place trophy strapped on the handlebars ofhis bike, is being yelled at hy Kreese. Kreese is intimidat~- ing, abusive. The other Cobras on their bikes watch, too scared to move. Johnny responds, shouting hack, pointing to his trophy. Kreese takes the trophy from his hands and snaps it in tuo, throwing it on the floor. Johnny's ander exceeds his caution. He curses Kreese coldly with tuo choice words, understood even when lip-synched. In the blink of an eye, Kreese has moved to catch Johnny in a lethal rear choke hold. Johnny goes white, then red; futilely trying to break free. All the while Kreese berates his efforts, snarling over his shoulder ashe applies more pressure, strangling Johnny.

Hiyagi'tsresponse is to reach out and grab Kreese's arm hatween his thumb and forefinger, applying pressure to a point. The pain produced is so sharp, so acute, Kreese's held is broken. Johnny falls to the ground. Kreese rubs his arm fer a moment. Then, the anger Growing in his face like a storm, he attacks Tilyagi, lunga-punching for his face. A tremendous kiai bellowing from his lungs. At the last moment, Miyagi sidesteps. Kreese’s punch gees up te his elbow through a car wind- Shield Miyagi was standing in frent of, ripping the fist to shreds. Kreesa pulls his mangled hand cut and looks at it, his fury growing. Miyagi stands before him, relaxed, his face passive, his back to a 14-foet U-Haul trailer truck. Kreese charges blindly, again, this time with his good hand ieading. At the last moment, Miyagi Sidesteps. Kreese's fist crumbles against the truck's side. He screams in agony and anger, cradling heth his hands, helpless. Miyagi grabs him by the gi jacket, and with one hand yanks. Kreese falls to his Knees. Miyagi pulls his head up by the hair, exposing his threat. On his knees for the first time in his life, Kreese’s eyes flicher with fear. MNiyagi'tssmiledies. His eyes turn to stone. He cocks his fist back slowly, still holding Krease's throat exposed. He quotes Kreese:

Miyagi'tsfist is cocked as far as it can go behind his head, his face a mask of vengeance.

His eyes shut tightly, expecting the death blow. When it does not come, he opens his eyas slowly, Miyagi's fist is less than an inch from his nose, trembling with power. Miyagi's forefinger flicks out, nubbing the end of Kreese'tsnose in the lowest form of insult. He drops Kreese's head. Kreese’s chin goes to his chest, his body slumps forward. Miyagi turns to Daniel and winks. Daniel smiles a wave of relief. One hy one, Kreese's students drop their belts at his feet and walk away.

Miyagi signals for silence. Finding the right spot he Kiais and pushes the fender, popping it out, good as new. With a look of firmness, he walks over to Daniel, takes him by the arm and leads him around to the back of the house.

But Miyagi dees net respond. He has walked off to another corner of the garden, opening and reading his letter. The Postman looks at Daniel, then at Miyagi. shrugs and exits. Daniel watches Miyagi concerned by his friend's sudden shift in mood. Miyagi reads, then stops. He looks off into the distance, his shoulders sagging, his eyes peering into a past long left, iong forgotten. After a moment, Daniel speaks softly.

Miyagi does not respond.

The ad clearly disturbs Miyagi, but impresses Daniel.

On that note, Miyagi exits. Daniel's eyes linger on the pheto for a moment before he follows.

Miyagi is looking fora tawi inthe hustle and bustle when CHOZEN, a lithe 18-year-oldwho bears a striking resem- blance to the young Sato inthe photograph, approaches.

Miyagi and Daniel are equally taken aback.

There isveiled intent behind a genuine smile. Before Miyagi can respond, a big, black 1955 Cadillac pulis up to the curh driven by amuscular young Ckinawan, TOSHIO. The trunk pops open as the car stops. Miyagi and Daniel's attention isdrawn to the car.

Miyagi andDaniel are about to enter the car when Chozgen calls to Daniel, motioning te his suitcase, stiil en the curb.

Net looking, he grabs the suitcase by thehandle and hefts it toward Chozen. The old man's cane flies sky- Ward. The old man topples to the ground, squawking. People rush to help him. A lot ofCLATTERING NOISE is directed in Daniel's direction. He squirms, embarrassed, uncomfortable.

He approaches the door and goes to open it. His hand hesitates on the door knoh, as if he were a stranger. He removes his hand from the knob and Knocks instead. The door opens to KUMIKO, 17, the spitting image of the young Yukia. Her face registers surprise as does Miyagi's. Kumiko hous.

Daniel, just woken, exits from thehouse te the Bonsal garden, buttoning the last buttons on his shirt, Looking for Mr. Miyagi.

He stops to admire the ancient Bonsai of the garden. A slightly open Showjiidoor catches his eye. He steps over and opens it.

What he finds catches him by surprise. Daniel's PO¥ -- the Miyagi family dojo. Daniel enters. The doje walls are lined with photos and paintings of fourhundred years’ worth of karate-practicing MNiyagis. Prominent over the family shrine is a painting cf aman in the formal garb of the f6th century. He bears a striking resemblance to Miyagi. On the back wall of the room are Chinese and Okinawan weapons. Daniel removes his shoes and walks around the dejo, fascinated. At the end of the weapons rack is a small hand drum. The head attached to a stick. Two wooden balls hanging from strings, like limp arms. Daniel picks up the drum and looks at it curiously. Miyagi'tsvoice at the door turns him.

He points to the picture above the shrine. [Miyagi hows respectfully.

The lights from the landing tower splash threugh, sporadically bathing the room in soft bursts of light. In one of these illuminaticons,Daniel sees Kumlke. Daniel's POV. Kumiko, in formal kimono, her hair done up, just like her aunt's was for the tea ceremony, sits before her own prepared tea ceremeny. A cushion for Daniel has been placed opposite her.

His eyes, never leaving hears,he offers the cup. She accepts, her eyes shiny as diamonds, her breath shallow, aroused. Sipping once, the cup comes slowly from her lips. She pulls a comb from her formal hairdo. Her hair falls sensuously down her shoulders. CLOSEUP -- THEIR FACES. Simultan- eously, inching toward each other, as if the distance separating them were miles, until their lips meet, tentative at first, then fiercely passionate, consum- mating in one kiss. Parting breathless, heads swim~ ming, their eyes stay locked in a lover's embrace, when a WIND, more forceful then before, RATTLES the HINDCHIMNE. Fear, born from experiance, replaces love in Kumiko's eyes. She hurriedly gathers up the tea ceremony utensils, listening for something outside.

The WIND BLOWS again, increasingly aggressive, as she & rises, exiting.
