Where's Kung Lao?
My apologies, master.
Please leave us.
Mollee is dead.
I heard, Liu.
I'm truly sorry.
You're sorry?
I should have come to see you.
But I didn't know if it would have done more harm than good.
What have you done, Liu Kang?
Karma.
I brought karma to the men that killed her.
Karma is not for you to deliver.
You're not a god.
They murdered her.
And you murdered them?
I cleansed the world of filth.
I did nothing different than I would have in a tournament.
You once were protector of the Earth-Realm.
Its inhabitants, its freedoms, its ideals.
I protected filth that didn't deserve to live.
Do you think you're the first person to lose someone they loved?
A stronger person does not answer violence with violence.
It creates a never-ending cycle that has caused nothing but misery for the rest of the world.
- You should not have murdered them. - Why?
Sīla.
Harmony.
Order.
Self-restraint.
Non-violence.
Sīla is the path to illumination and liberation.
This is what makes us different than those that desire to destroy our realm.
Anybody who does not follow these ideals is no different than those of Outworld.
When you were White Lotus, you vowed to follow these guidelines.
I am no longer White Lotus, remember?
Why are you here, Liu Kang?
You're obviously not here for forgiveness.
Forgiveness from you?
Maybe I was hoping for some understanding.
Some humanity.
You chose your path when you left the Order to live the life of a normal man.
With joy comes pain...
...and now you must follow it to its conclusion.
You are on your own.
Leave and never come back.
Please.
Shit.
I surrender.
So, what happened?
That blind kid was kicking the crap out of that demonic motherfucker.
And, ugh, then I saw them. Twins.
They chased me down.
One had these crazy teeth.
- Teeth? - More like fangs.
- She wasn't human. - And what about the other one?
Her teeth looked totally normal.
She refused to fight me, then her and Fangs got into it. Fangs lost.
- So the other one let you go? - I was out of there...
- ...before I could give her the choice. - So they're turning on each other?
That sounds like the numbers may be on our side.
We might be able to win this.
Yeah, sure. Totally. Awesome.
I'm thinking we get you down to the beach, set you up by the fire and recover a bit.
And maybe Raiden will be there, he can call time-out or something.
I'm kidding. Relax.
Nice utility vest, Batman. What's that, Kevlar?
You brought artillery to a knife fight. Not sure how much good it'll do you.
Well, we've all got our talents.
Even D-list actors.
Ouch.
Shit!
Oh, fuck!
You gotta be kidding me.
You were that actor, right?
Still am.
Heh. Always thought you had a stunt double.
Nope.
- All me. - Obviously.
Must have skills to be invited here.
You bet your ass.
So modest. You bit off more than you could chew.
You should have stuck to the movies.
Would have if I could have.
This was my last shot.
At least to be useful.
Would you rather have a quick death in the dirt or a chance on your feet?
Show me what you got.
- You're good. - I make this look easy.
You do make this look easy.
You still wanna make fun of my fucking vest?
Liu Kang?
Why didn't you tell me in Macau?
Why would I?
We were once like brothers.
Another life, a long time ago.
I always thought you would find your way back.
I thought you had the strength.
There is still good in you.
There's no coming back from this.
Why follow Shang Tsung down this path?
You know where it leads.
In the last 10 years, I've done things you wouldn't believe.
But each time, the righteousness of my path was confirmed.
They're unworthy and ungrateful.
You're naive to think humanity is worth protecting.
Humanity will never be perfect.
But their ideals are worth defending.
Were you aspiring to those ideals when you turned your back on me?
I am not going to fight you, Liu.
Then you will die.
Finish him.
