(Leon) This is King of the Mountain. Bare knuckles.
No rules. Last man on his feet wins.
You got to fight again, T.C.
No, T.C., please. You just got to help me. Please.
Wait a minute, wait a minute! No hitting. That's part of the deal.
l understand the debt that you feel to him, but--
No. No, you don't.
That's the guy? The big one? You're going to fight him?
Want a fight? l'll give you a fight.
(Magnum) When you spend your every working day...
basking in the balmy breezes of paradise...
when you play year-round on the beautiful sunny beaches of the Pacific...
where do you dream of going on a vacation?
The answer is obvious. Detroit.
Reason one.: Detroit's a fun city.
Reason two.:
There's a superior group of athletes there, known as the Tigers.
Reason three.: (T.C.) A free trip?
You think you're going to get a free trip to Detroit on my tab, Thomas?
T.C., l'm doing you a favor. Favor?
1 1-1 4. Attaway to hustle, Vicki. Come on, you're still in it.
Okay, l mean...
so the Tigers have a 10 day home stand starting tomorrow.
l mean, that's just a coincidence. l'm still doing you a favor.
Out!
42 hours in the air searching for his grandmother's grave.
And the turkey gives me a bum cashier's check.
But, it doesn't matter.
That collection agency in Detroit says they can get me my whole $10,000.
Out! 13-1 4!
So what if they do? They take 40%%.
Now, l am offering to go collect your money for free.
(T.C.) Oh, sure. For free.
(Rick) 1 4! Tie game! What a comeback!
Plus all your expenses, plus 10 baseball tickets.
Oh, no, no. l'd pay for my own tickets. T.C., listen.
$1,700 tops on expenses.
13. 16.
1 4.
15! Done!
Okay, Thomas.
But no tricks!
$1,500 flat. Anything else over that and you--
You'll get change. And $8,500 cash.
And Robin Masters' little red wagon for the whole time that you're gone.
Sorry, Thomas, but l need wheels. l'm having problems with the van.
What's wrong with it? lt's not a Ferrari.
What a rally! Keep it up, girls! Keep it up.
Come on T.C., not the car, please. Higgins will kill me.

What do l tell Higgins?
♪ lf they don't win, it's a shame ♪ Come on, have a heart.
♪ For it's one, two ♪ No, not.... Anything but....
♪ three strikes, you're-- ♪♪ Out!
No!
Okay.
l'll tell Higgins it's in the shop.
(Magnum) I took the 5.:15 milk run...
to Motor City the following morning.
And T.C. took my car keys.
Now, I know what you're thinking.:
That I was far more interested in the 10 Tiger games...
than in getting the $10,000.
Actually, I was planning to see all of both...
give or take a game or $1,000.
For once...
T.C. couldn't say that he had the bad end of the deal.
I was working for free.
He had the dream car for nearly two weeks...
and he'd still be getting the bulk of his money.
He should be in hog heaven.
[honking]
[tires screeching]
lma, look out!
[groans] Daddy!
[pigs squealing] You're hurt. Daddy!
Hey, are you all right? Oh!
No! You've hurt him bad!
Hey, look, we better get you to a hospital, okay?
l haven't got any money for a hospital.
Mister, please. Hurry. Can't you see how bad he's hurting?
Yeah. Yeah, sure, okay.
Look...
there's a hospital not too far away from here.
Don't worry about the bill, either.
And l'll take care of the damages to your pigpen.
lt's not ours. We were trying to steal one to eat.
lma!
Come on, in you go.
[dog barking]
Sorry, T.M.
[crickets chirruping]
(lma) This place belong to the man...
you borrowed that fancy little red car from?
(T.C.) Well, not exactly.
Now look, lma, as long as we're here...
you don't even have to mention that little red car, okay?
T.C., l don't want you getting in trouble on account of us.
l told you, l don't hold you responsible. Come on, Leon.
You and lma just can't keep sleeping on the beach every night.
The guy who lives here is out of town, and he's a friend of mine.
What is wrong with this stupid card key? lt's supposed to be a master.
(Higgins on intercom) It only works...
when the security system is deactivated.
Yeah? Well, then why don't you deactivate....
Higgins.
[hesitantly] Higgie, baby.
T.M. left me his key...
and l just stopped by to get something that he borrowed.
T.C., why are you here?
[sighing]
Higgins, are you in the mood for an interesting story?
(Higgins) You ran through a pen...
striking Mr. Platt, who was chasing a pig.
lt's so...
Magnum-esque.
The body has departed, but the spirit has remained behind to haunt me.
Why? (T.C.) Look, Higgins.
Leon's got a broken collarbone. He needs rest.
And l was just positive that Thomas wouldn't mind if--
Magnum has nothing to say about who does and does not use the guesthouse.
He's little more than a charity case here himself.
T.C., would you drive us back to the beach?
We'll get along fine till l can figure out a way to...
finish my work here and get us back to Ohio.
You have a job, Mr. Platt?
What kind of work is it that you do?
Well, l'm a cook by trade, but--
We had our own barbecue place back home.
Went under. Past year, l've been a fighter.
Club fighting. Got a contract for two more bouts here.
Some contract. Living outside and chasing pigs to eat.
l didn't say it was a good contract.
But Charlie's offer was the only shot l had...
to get us back on our feet, so l didn't haggle.
Charlie? Our promoter.
Daddy had to win all the fights that Charlie got him for a year.
And he has.
We just have these two little fights to go here, and then....
Forget it, it doesn't matter now.
[scornfully] Daddy had his accident.
That's not going to stop me, honey.
lt's one of those deals that's all in the moneyman's favor.
Charlie gets to hold back my prize money till l meet the champion.
But then l get it all. $10,000. Win, lose, or draw.
But you can't get in the ring with a broken collar--
Can't l? You just watch me.
After living like animals for a year, on what Charlie calls expense money...
there's no way l'm letting that contract die with just two fights to go.
No, Daddy, you can't.
You could get hurt worse. lt's not fair for this to happen.
We're so darn close.
What would this Charlie guy say to...
maybe a substitute for the next couple of fights?
You? No, not a chance.
(Higgins) My God, man, you can't be serious.
Wait just a minute, Higgie B, l know what l'm doing.
Do you?
T.C., may we speak in private for just a moment?
That won't be necessary.
T.C., l thank you for your gesture, but--
Just for a moment, Mr. Platt, if you please.
Come on, honey.
You can discuss all you like.
l do my own fighting.
T.C., Mr. Platt is right.
l understand the debt that you feel to him, but--
No. No. No, you don't. You weren't there.
l beg your pardon. l wasn't where?
Oh, hey, this is my problem. Sorry l bothered you, Higgins.
l wasn't where?
ln the DMZ.
Vietnam?
Did you happen to notice that tattoo on Leon's arm?
A glance, in passing. US Marine Corps.
What does 4l1 mean?
Delta 4l1 .
Was a hell of a unit.
They came in and drug me unconscious...
from a downed chopper in the middle of hell.
They got there just before the VC would have got to me.
Four of them bought it trying to save my neck. Six more were wounded.
And you think Leon Platt is one of the men who rescued you?
l don't know, but what does it matter?
He's Delta 4l1, and l owe him.
The Platts will need fresh linens in the guesthouse.
l'll see to it.
(lma) Does that mean that we can stay?
l forgot my suitcase.
Sure, little girl, that means you can stay.
And you? You, l'm going to help you get your money.
Oh, for the last time, T.C.-- Leon!
lf this guy Charlie says it's okay, l want to do it. All right?
Okay.
All right. Now, when's the next fight?
l want to see if l got enough time to get the old dukes back in shape.
There's plenty of time. Daddy's not supposed to fight till tomorrow night.
[puffing]
Wait a minute, wait a minute! No hitting. That's part of the deal!
Have l hit you yet, Orville?
There's always a first time.
Hey, T.C., you sure you know what you're doing? l mean, you haven't boxed in years.
Just to pick up and start boxing in one day, you know--
Hey, hey, hey, we already discussed it, right?
Come on, let's go get ready to pick up Leon and lma.
They went on ahead of us to talk to Charlie. Where's Charlie?
You'll see. l think l've heard lce Pick mention his club. He said it's...
kind of a gentlemen's betting parlor. Real discreet...
real exclusive.
[people cheering]
[all clamoring]
[man whistling]
(Leon) T.C.!
Can't use these. This is King of the Mountain.
Bare knuckles. No rules. Last man on his feet wins.
[groaning]
(Leon) Tell you the truth, l didn't think you'd show up.
Tell you the truth, l'm sorry l did.
No, T.C., wait!
We talked to Charlie. You can fight. Sorry, lma.
But you and your daddy left a few little details out.
Come on, Rick, let's get out of this butcher shop.
No, T.C., please. You just got to help me.
Daddy will fight if you don't.
l got to do anything l can to stop that from happening.
Do you know how bad he could get hurt?
Do you know how bad T.C. can get hurt?
Not bad, probably. But it's not your fight.
l told you that.
What are your chances in that ring with just one arm?
Not much.
But it's worth a chance. Got nothing to lose.
T.C., please. Please!
[fight bell clanging]
Good to meet you, T.C.
Leon told me about the accident. Sad.
l shouldn't do this. No time to promote you.
Oh, l've fought before.
Tell Claude about it. You're on in five minutes.
Five minutes? Four, actually. Better make it quick.
Oh, oh, oh.
l was Regional Golden Gloves Champion-- You were just a kid.
Well, l was the Camp Lejeune Light Heavyweight Champion-- T.C., come on.
That doesn't mean anything here.
Oh, and l was the Grambling College Southern Conference--
That's enough. Time to fight. Huh?
(Leon) T.C.?
Thanks.

Hey, hey! You got some kind of punch!
l don't believe it!
Just caught him off guard with a lucky punch.
When you said there was no rules, you meant it!
And that guy, he just-- He was the local champ, and you...

One more match and we go for King of the Mountain.
Of the world!

l'm sorry. But please, couldn't we just watch the game?
l mean, l'm a big fan. l came to Detroit just to see the Tigers.
So? Why aren't you out at the stadium? Because....
Because l can't go to the game until l find Arnold Morris.
Now, are you going to tell me where he's moved to, or not?
What do you want to find him for?
Oh! He's got your tickets!
No.
l mean, does it really matter?
[woman chattering on TV] Okay, fine, he's....
He owes a friend of mine a whole lot of money.
[laughing] He owes everybody a lot of money.
He snuck out of here about a month ago.
He gave me a bad check for three months' back rent.
Him and his...
''grandmother.''
His grandmother?
But he flew around Hawaii for two weeks looking for his grandmother's grave.
This grandmother's very much alive.
Deadbeats, con artists, the both of them.
May l have the address? Please?

That's gonna be the new name of our restaurant.
Soon as we get home with the money.
Hey, man, these are great!
(Higgins) Oh, my God!
What's the matter, Higgins?
[sighs sharply]
Nothing.
Rick and T.C. and Bobby K and Buster really like them.
Want to try one? No, thank you, l....
What did you call the lads?
Rick and T.C.?
(Higgins) No, lma, the lads.
Oh! Bobby K and Buster.
Well, l know that's not their real names but--
(Higgins) No, indeed.
And l would prefer that you call them Zeus and Apollo.
Otherwise, you can only confuse them.
Okay.
But if l had funny-sounding foreign names like that, l'd get real confused.
(Higgins) T.C., l was just inspecting your van.
l was pleased to see that the accident left no damage.
Except, of course, to Leon.
No, no damage.
Hey, Higgins, l'm fighting tonight. You coming?
l think not. No offense, but l doubt that the Marquis of Queensberry would approve.
Well, l hope my opponent doesn't approve, either.
Hey, Leon, who am l fighting tonight?
Just another one of Charlie's bums.
You ought to put him away with just one good punch.
[cheering]
[bell clanging]
Hail to the champ!
Boy, you were right!
One punch!
Hey, man, this bare-knuckles stuff is easy.
Like that? T.C., you did it!
You know what it is? l think it's my boxing move.
l think it's confusing them. Really freaks these amateurs out.
Hey, l know what: Let's celebrate.
Let's go get a pizza, okay? (Rick) Good idea.
Leon, what's wrong?
You got to fight again, T.C.
What?
To qualify for King of the Mountain Championship...
you got to take on all comers tonight.
You can still quit anytime you want to.
l'll understand.
(lma) lt's my fault, T.C.
Daddy wanted to tell you but l just wouldn't let him.
Come on, T.C. Let's get out of here.
Let's go to a library. Let's go someplace, let's go anyplace...
but let's just get out of here.
How many?
Four.
Five, maybe.

Ladies and gentlemen, there are no further contenders.

He's a man with a titanic heart.
After causing an accident that ended the career of a great fighter...
he stepped forward and said, ''l will be your fists.
''l will give you your victory.''
Theodore Calvin said these words to the great Leon Platt.

And this Saturday evening, in this very arena...
you will be able to put that two-fisted devotion to Leon's dream...

Condley Willard!
[crowd booing]
Come on, Orville. He not that much bigger than l am.
Yeah, well, a tank isn't that much bigger than a truck.
But it can do a lot more damage.
299, 300. Yeah.
(T.C.) Condley's not a boxer.
l am.
(Higgins) Yes, but Condley is a barbarian...
and you are not.
Hey, man, l thought you were with me.
l thought you understood why l was doing this.
T.C., we do understand. And believe me, we believe in your quest.
But having thrown down your gauntlet for the man...
and winning joust after joust with ease...
please do not underestimate the strength of the final knight.
Bet you went to college, didn't you, Mr. Higgins?
Yes, my dear, l did.
What are you doing with those?
You can't use them right now.
Oh, and you can? Sure.
All right, T.C., you've been looking for somebody with some real boxing skills.
Maybe you should take her on for a couple of rounds.
All right, come on, kid. Get him, kid!

Come on, what you gonna do, huh?
Come on, lma. When you gonna land some punches?

T.C., wow!
(Leon) lma.
Would you please take the dogs for a walk?
T.C. and l need to discuss something.
Okay, Daddy.
But then T.C. is taking us out to a fancy dinner.
Fine. Now get along, now.
[door closes]
Leon, what's going on?
You got to go down in the first tomorrow night.
Sure. Who says? l do.
Look, that contract says...
that l get the money that's coming to me...
whether l win, lose or draw. Okay! Win, lose or draw. Yeah, yeah.
So what do you care? You take the first good hit...
and you fall down.
Hmm?
Oh...
kay....
Nah.
lt wouldn't be right. Right?
Right. You hold a lot of stock in that sort of thing, don't you?
Sure!
You don't? Not in this case. l'm trying to save you...
from a beating you'll never forget.
A beat....
[chuckling] Leon, l can take Condley.
Dream on! Condley'll kill you.
Please, go in the first.
Leon-- Look!
You were probably a hell of a fighter back in the Golden Gloves.
But you want to know the truth?
As a bare-knuckler...
you stink.
But l'm undefeated.
Because Charlie paid off all those guys to take dives!
That's crazy.
No.
No, that's business.
Nobody can beat Condley.
So Charlie has to make it look like some wonder from out of nowhere can.
First it was me, now you.
Oh, come on, look! Look at my face.
And now look at yours.
l was undefeated, too.
Yeah, well, if that's so true...
why you pulling out of the con now?
l mean, why this big act of friendship?
Con? The hell you say!
l tried to stop you from getting involved. l kept telling you...
you could pull out anytime you wanted to!
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah! Sure! Sure! Sure you did!
Every time you led me to some new little surprise.
Well then, why did you do it?
Come on, T.C., level.
l mean, why would you go through all this for a guy like me?
There has got to be a better reason.
Yeah, well, it wasn't for you...
or your collarbone, or the $10,000, or even lma.
lt was for a bunch of guys from your unit that l owe a debt to.
They saved my skin!
There's the better reason! Delta 4l1 !
You can forget that.
l'm not one of your Delta heroes.
Yeah, well, it doesn't matter.
Whether you were there or not, you were in the unit.
And that's who l owe the debt to. The unit.
Well, you're paying off through the wrong guy.
Sure, l was a Delta 4l1 .
But l got out of it, on a dishonorable.
A buddy of mine and me, we were just clowning around, friendly fist fight.
He didn't wanna give up, either.
l hit him just once too many times.
And that.... T.C.?
T.C.!
That's what Condley can do to you...
if you don't listen to me now!
l don't want to see you get hurt, man.
You're the first real friend l've had in a long time! ''Friend''?
[scoffs] No way, man!
And you don't have to worry about me anymore, either.
l am not fighting Condley at all...
and you can tell...
Charlie...
the Ebony Assassin quit.
Busy?
You got it, Charlie baby.
Just got back from a trip to the far side of the island.
Got to head right back.
(Charlie) So the rumor l heard was true.
You're not going to fight tonight.
Does it sound like l'm planning to? No.
Look, l got a lot of money invested.
Lot of local money bet.
Some jerks even bet on you.
Too bad.
l don't want to hurt lma.
Found her out for a walk on the beach. Real depressed about you cutting out.
Where is she, Charlie? What did you--
Put up a hell of a fight. Good little fighter.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Save it. Save it. Save it for tonight.
Save it.
You'll need it.
T.C., perhaps we have to take the risk of going to the police.
At least they should be on hand tonight.
No police.
(Rick) The best thing would've been...
to let crooks deal with crooks.
You talked to lce Pick?
Yeah, this morning, right after we found out about lma.
But he can't help.
T.C., look, the guy's got Feds crawling all over his back.
He's in the middle of a Senate hearing right now.
[crowd cheering]
[crowd roars]
Rick, l understand T.C.'s problem, okay? But l'm 4,000 miles away.
Thomas, there's a flight that'll get you here on time. Higgins checked.
lt leaves Detroit at 6:00. l've reserved you a seat.
6:00? Oh, phooey.
That's less than an hour from now. l can't.
Magnum, please. Would l, of all people, ask you to return early...
if it were not an emergency?
[sighing] Okay, okay.
l'll do my best to catch the 6:00 flight.
But just answer me one question: How'd you know l was at the game?
lt was a logical presumption.
Haven't you been attending all of the Lions matches?
No! This is the first one.
And it's not a ''Lions match,'' it's a ''Tigers game.''
A game that Alan Trammell and Lou Whitaker personally gave me tickets for.
And l was going to meet Sparky and the entire team afterwards.
(Rick) Thomas, you're wasting time.
Grab a taxi and get to the airport.
[bat cracking] Okay, okay!
[crowd roaring] l said l'd be there.
[crowd continues roaring]
Bye, guys.
(Claude) Now look, T.C., there are 15 rounds.
Charlie says you got to stay up for 10.
10? Wait a minute, there's no way he can make it.
l'll make it. Look, if you don't, Charlie loses money.
And Leon loses a sweet little girl.
l said l'll stay up!
Only trouble is, Condley says he's gonna put you away in two.
Oh, man.
l've really made a mess of things.
First l risked your life, now lma's.
Yeah.
Well l hope you're wrong about risking mine.
'Cause if l can't stay up with Condley for 10 rounds....
[door opening]
(Magnum) T.C.?
l don't believe this.
Who are you?
The man who left all the dirty linens in the guesthouse.
T.C., we felt that Magnum should be advised of the situation.
Hey, T.C., we would have told you earlier, but we weren't sure...
if we'd get Thomas here from the airport in time.
For what? You got a plan to get lma back before--
No. l don't have anything at the moment but jet lag.
You don't have my money?
Yes!
[stammering] No, wait. l mean, l've got jet lag...
and your money. All of it.
Arnold's grandmother took out a loan.
l think the important thing right now is to figure out...
how to force this Charlie guy--
Almost time, T.C. Let's go.
[growling]
That's the guy? The big one? You're going to fight him?
Hey, didn't l tell you it was serious?
(Leon) lt's not just his size. He's mean.
He'll try every dirty trick in the book. And some that haven't been written.
Well, that's okay, T.C., we'll just think of something, fast.
Look! Why won't anybody believe that l can stay with this guy?
[stammering] l mean, l have to. l....
l better get out there.
Wait a minute. Rick, now....
What about lce Pick? l mean, isn't Charlie under his--
Yeah, yeah, but look, just forget about it, Thomas.
l spoke to him this morning and he doesn't want to get involved.
Apparently Mr. lce Pick has a problem with parliamentary procedure.
lt's the Senate, Higgins.
And lce Pick can't get involved in any more trouble.
Yeah, but Charlie doesn't know that. Rick, now you stay with T.C...
but you get word to Charlie that somebody's in his office...
with a message from lce Pick, and then...
see, Higgins will let you know if lma's all right...
and then you can tell T.C. to quit, whatever round it is.
Okay, you got it.
No, l don't. But l got about half of it, and l just hope it works.
[fight bell clanging]
Ladies and gentlemen!
For the King of the Mountain Championship of the World...
introducing the contender, the new Hawaii King...
the sensation of the lslands, the Ebony Assassin...
Theodore Calvin!
From Lubbock, Texas, the reigning, one and only, never defeated...
World-champion bare-knuckler...
Condley Willard!
[crowd booing]
Now, the championship rules for bare-knuckle fighting are that there are none.
So, let's have a nice, clean fight.
[men wolf-whistling]
(Rick) All right, come here.
We got everything worked out. Higgins is gonna give a signal.
[bell clanging] When Higgins gives the signal....
[roaring]
[growling]
Charlie Amos?
Yeah.
What's lce Pick want?
Your neck, Charlie.
l mean, he's let you get away with a lot of things...
but he draws the line at kidnapping.
This guy here tells me you nabbed his little girl...
to cover your bets. ls that right?
[growling]
[crowd clamoring]
[bell clanging]
[bellowing]
(Rick) Get up!
Come on.
You're stalling, Charlie.
Okay.
Either you hand over little lma...
or l'm going to have to call lce Pick.
Do me a favor.
Call him.
Well, l will if you make me, but...
l got to tell you, Charlie, lce Pick's really already very upset with you.
Now, he's liable to kill you if you make me call him at home.
lce Pick's on the Mainland. Senate subpoena.
lf you're a close associate...
[whispering] you should know that.
Yeah, l should. l really should.
Where is she, Charlie? Before l kill you.
[T.C. bellowing]
Where is she? Okay! Okay! l'll tell you where she is, okay?
Let me go. Come on.
[bell clanging]
Ah! Okay, okay, sorry.
T.C., it's okay. Higgins just gave me the signal. You can quit.
Hey, did you hear me? They got lma. Get out!
Condley's the one going out. He does have a weak spot.
[bell clangs]
(Magnum) T.C. slept for 14 hours...
trying to recoup from the toughest fight of his life.
And I slept for 16...
trying to find the six hours I'd left in a taxi in Detroit.
Finally, he had to break down...
and tell me about the Ferrari.
But it would be out of the shop in 24 hours, paid for...
and, hopefully, Higgins would never be the wiser.
[birds chirping]
T.C.!
[laughing]
l was afraid that you wouldn't come.
What? And miss saying goodbye to my favorite girl? No way!
You'll still come and see us in Ohio, won't you?
l can almost taste the barbecue.
Take it.
Half the $10,000. You sure earned it.
Leon, why don't you do me a favor?
Why don't you take that and invest it in the restaurant?
That way we can be partners.
Thanks.
l was with Delta 4l1 for three years. No dishonorable.
You've paid your debts.
Come and see us.
And your place.
You too, Magnum. Thanks.
Come on, honey. Bye.
(Magnum) Bye-bye.
(lma) Bye, Bobby K! Bye, Buster!
Bobby K and Buster?
Higgins, where did you find the....
At the discount body shop where you left it.
They feared that it was a stolen car, and checked the registration.
They called me two days after the accident.
Higgie-- ln lieu of an explanation that l could not bear...
just give me $3,7 16.53.
Zeus. Apollo.
Lads?
[panting]
Higgins?
Maybe you should try ''Buster'' and ''Bobby K.''
Now, that's absurd. l mean....
Buster? Bobby K?
[T.C. laughing]
