This afternoon, Governor Muldoon once again responded to accusations
that he has lost faith in the ability of the Deacon City Police
Department to maintain order.
He insists that Captain Jackson Briggs
and his Violent Crimes Unit have his full backing and support.
He claims the situation is under control.
Six-foot-one.
Born with a rare disorder called Harlequin Ichthyosis.
Skin produces too many cells,
causing massive diamond shaped squames that can't retain water.
In addition, the eyes are formed inside out.
Life expectancy is two weeks.
This guy is thirty.
He likes to rip the heads off his victim's bodies.
He stores the heads in his refrigerator.
And when he's hungry...
...he eats them...
His known fatalities are in a double digits.
Code name :
Reptile.
Next up,
Doctor Alan Zane.
Plastic surgeon.
His first victim, likely accidental.
The next two dozen were not.
Zane couldn't take being a failed doctor.
So he went psychotic, turned the knife on himself.
He pierced his face,
sharpened his teeth into fangs,
and he even surgically attached a pair of ten-inch blades into his forearms.
Code name :
Baraka.
Last contact we had with Baraka was through Johnny Cage.
Yeah, that's right, the old action hero.
After his movie career died, he needed work.
We had him working for us undercover.
We have reason to believe this man,
Shang Tsung, may be behind each killer.
The night before Johnny Cage was murdered,
he told us about a tournament, this Shang Tsung is planning.
Some underground death match between the world's top fighters.
Serial killers, assassins.
Which brings me to you...
Hanzo Hasashi.
Before your incarceration,
you were the top assassin of the Shirairu. ("Ignorance")
The most lethal man in Japan.
We want to put you back out on the streets.
If this tournament exists,
Shang Tsung will find you.
and if this tournament exists, this is our one shot to take out Baraka,
Reptile and the other maniacs that have turned this city into a killing field.
We want you to join the tournament and we want you to win it.
We want you to do what you do best, and kill them all.
You know a great deal about me.
So you must know that I surrendered my freedom voluntarily.
Now, what you don't seem to know is that I can have my freedom back
whenever I choose.
So tell me, Detective Briggs,
what could you possibly offer me in exchange for my help?
Sonya Blade. Perfect timing!
Sub-Zero.
That man is dead.
These pictures were taken yesterday.
The man you killed was his brother.
No, impossible!
Sub-Zero is alive and well and will be at that tournament.
You want him?
You got him.
Leave no survivors! Understand? None!
Hasashi, are you listening?
Find Shang Tsung and finish him.
Hanzo Hasashi is dead.
My name...
...is Scorpion.
