1
00:00:06,900 --> 00:00:10,950
Teen hearthrob, martial art master,
paradigm of musculine virility.
2
00:00:10,955 --> 00:00:13,550
These are just the few title given
to the man used to be known
3
00:00:13,855 --> 00:00:16,750
as the most promising action hero
of the next generation.
4
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,800
A man know arround the world as
Johnny Cage.
5
00:00:22,500 --> 00:00:25,000
But before becoming a
worldwide sensation,
6
00:00:25,005 --> 00:00:28,450
John Carlton was just a
small boy with big dreams.
7
00:00:28,500 --> 00:00:31,750
Everyone loved John.
They gravited towards him.
8
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,500
We used to go at martial arts
tournaments together.
9
00:00:34,505 --> 00:00:36,800
The guy wanted to win like
in every category.
10
00:00:37,500 --> 00:00:39,200
He was a total rockstar.
11
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,050
Growing up, I was shy, I was weak.
12
00:00:43,055 --> 00:00:45,500
I've actually got my ass kicked a lot.
13
00:00:45,505 --> 00:00:49,450
But, martial art changed all that.
And I was reborn.
14
00:00:49,455 --> 00:00:51,155
And that give the world :
15
00:00:51,500 --> 00:00:52,700
Johnny Cage.
16
00:00:52,705 --> 00:00:54,600
In the next hour of 'Fated Star',
17
00:00:54,605 --> 00:00:58,450
we'll explore the rise and fall
of Johnny Cage.
18
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,100
From his worldwide fame...
19
00:01:01,700 --> 00:01:03,300
to his many arrests.
20
00:01:03,305 --> 00:01:04,900
His ego just took over.
21
00:01:04,905 --> 00:01:07,550
He started to picking fights with
random people in clubs, and...
22
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,050
I couldn't protect him anymore.
Nobody could.
23
00:01:10,055 --> 00:01:14,150
And his failed attempts to transition from
the small screen to the big screen
24
00:01:14,155 --> 00:01:16,550
left the troubled actor frustrated.
25
00:01:17,100 --> 00:01:20,000
The fan just couldn't accept the fact
that Johnny was getting older.
26
00:01:20,005 --> 00:01:23,800
To the fan he will be always that ass kicking
teen hearthrob from Power Rangers.
27
00:01:23,850 --> 00:01:26,300
This is a story of a fated star.
28
00:01:26,700 --> 00:01:29,600
This is the story of Johnny Cage.
29
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,550
PRESENT DAY
30
00:01:40,150 --> 00:01:41,400
Crime is very much alive.
31
00:01:41,401 --> 00:01:44,250
Crime is very much alive.
Well... I'm here to kill it.
32
00:02:02,900 --> 00:02:04,750
Mark Hardy aka "The Squirrel"
Theft, drug possession, arson
33
00:02:30,950 --> 00:02:34,900
Piracy... Brings to more than just DVDs.
34
00:02:35,100 --> 00:02:38,700
YOU GOT CAGED
35
00:02:38,705 --> 00:02:40,300
COMMING SOON
36
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,500
- I'm not loving it.
- Me neither. Sorry Johnny.
37
00:02:53,900 --> 00:02:56,950
What are you guys talking about ?
This is exactly was you asked for.
38
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,650
Well, to be franc I was bored off my
ass ten second into the thing.
39
00:02:59,655 --> 00:03:02,700
I was litteraly getting more and more
pissed the longer it went on.
40
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,000
The reality is just not what we're looking for.
41
00:03:06,001 --> 00:03:08,050
It's too mature for our demographics.
42
00:03:08,055 --> 00:03:11,550
Yeah obviously, we're not gonna win
any Emmys with this kinda stuff.
43
00:03:11,555 --> 00:03:13,150
We're trying to get out of reality business.
44
00:03:13,151 --> 00:03:16,900
Yeah, not to mention the fact that
martial art is not hot right now.
45
00:03:16,905 --> 00:03:20,850
And you'd be competing against 'the Lawman'
and 'Dog the Bounty Hunter'.
46
00:03:20,855 --> 00:03:23,550
Have you guys seen those shows ?
Nothing happens !
47
00:03:23,555 --> 00:03:26,100
In my show, I'm actually gonna be fighting.
48
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:28,500
Well that's also a problem.
49
00:03:28,505 --> 00:03:31,350
The actual fighting you're doing is pretty weak.
50
00:03:31,355 --> 00:03:32,750
And quite obviously staged.
51
00:03:32,755 --> 00:03:34,800
Massive of our audiences think all the fighting
52
00:03:34,805 --> 00:03:36,700
you do in your movie is fake.
53
00:03:36,850 --> 00:03:40,500
Well the whole fighting is fake,
it's a fucking movie.
54
00:03:45,500 --> 00:03:47,300
I don't know what to say.
55
00:03:48,350 --> 00:03:50,300
Look, we're gonna have to cut this short.
56
00:03:50,750 --> 00:03:52,650
We gotta go on set.
Nice to see you Johnny.
57
00:03:52,655 --> 00:03:54,100
- I'll be right there.
- Thanks.
58
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,300
Johnny I'm gonna be honnest with you, ok ?
59
00:03:56,305 --> 00:03:58,900
I don't think TV is a right move
for you right now.
60
00:03:58,950 --> 00:04:01,500
What is the right move for me
right now Lance ?
61
00:04:02,300 --> 00:04:04,900
I haven't worked since Power Ranger
went off that year.
62
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,400
Look, I need something big, Lance.
63
00:04:07,650 --> 00:04:10,150
I know that the show can be a hit.
64
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:12,850
All right, well, look.
65
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,400
We're bringing up at the next development
meeting, see what every body says.
66
00:04:16,450 --> 00:04:19,150
All right ? Maybe we can.. I don't know...
67
00:04:19,155 --> 00:04:21,400
Maybe we can put it on our cables late.
68
00:04:22,100 --> 00:04:23,850
- That's all I'm asking for.
- Al right.
69
00:04:23,855 --> 00:04:26,350
Regardless, you got to reissue this, ok?
70
00:04:26,355 --> 00:04:29,850
Really make it sing.
Add some stakes, man.
71
00:04:29,855 --> 00:04:32,600
Pirate DVDs ? We're not Hallmark.
72
00:04:32,700 --> 00:04:35,650
Hey it's no problem.
I'll get you what you want.
73
00:04:35,950 --> 00:04:37,050
All right.
74
00:04:39,350 --> 00:04:41,550
THREE WEEKS LATER
75
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:46,350
The following program features real violence.
Viewer discretion is advised.
76
00:04:46,550 --> 00:04:47,150
WHEN THE CITY OF ANGELS
77
00:04:47,155 --> 00:04:48,600
WHEN THE CITY OF ANGELS
IS IN CHAOS
78
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:51,000
AND THE LAWMEN
79
00:04:51,005 --> 00:04:52,600
AND THE LAWMEN
ARE HELPLESS
80
00:04:52,700 --> 00:04:54,150
A NEW HERO
81
00:04:54,155 --> 00:04:56,100
A NEW HERO
MUST RISE TO THE CHALLENGE
82
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,450
AND PUT CRIMINALS WHERE
THEY BELONG
83
00:05:00,455 --> 00:05:01,550
IN A
84
00:05:01,555 --> 00:05:04,150
CAGE
85
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,750
Johnny Cage VS 'Thugs'
86
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:16,850
CRIMINALS CAGED: 0
87
00:05:16,855 --> 00:05:22,300
CRIMINALS CAGED: 1
88
00:05:22,305 --> 00:05:25,750
CRIMINALS CAGED: 2
89
00:05:25,755 --> 00:05:33,800
CRIMINALS CAGED: 3
90
00:05:33,805 --> 00:05:49,200
CRIMINALS CAGED: 4
91
00:05:49,205 --> 00:05:55,350
CRIMINALS CAGED: 5
92
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,550
- Whoa What are you doing ?
- Seen enough John.
93
00:06:02,700 --> 00:06:04,700
But there's a whole other action sequence.
94
00:06:05,050 --> 00:06:08,600
I'm not gonna drag out that any longer.
I should have just told you on the phone.
95
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,700
I talked to everyone in the network and
they feel pretty much the same.
96
00:06:12,100 --> 00:06:14,550
This project will simply never
gonna work for us, John.
97
00:06:18,900 --> 00:06:21,900
Do you know how much work took to put
this presentation together ?
98
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,600
- I ... I spent fift...
- John...
99
00:06:25,605 --> 00:06:27,400
And you don't even do me the courtesy
to watch the whole f...
100
00:06:27,405 --> 00:06:29,800
John, John !
You're not listening to me.
101
00:06:30,050 --> 00:06:32,200
We're not renewing your
development team.
102
00:06:35,300 --> 00:06:36,800
You're dropping me ?
103
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,500
After al the fucking money I made you ?
104
00:06:40,505 --> 00:06:42,400
It was a tough decision, all right ?
105
00:06:42,550 --> 00:06:44,000
But this is a business.
106
00:06:44,005 --> 00:06:47,000
We can't sell anything with you attached.
107
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,550
Audience want to see more than...
108
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:50,950
what you do.
109
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,950
Action Star is dead John.
110
00:06:56,650 --> 00:06:58,400
They're asking for you an set.
111
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:00,950
Come on Johnny, walk out.
112
00:07:01,500 --> 00:07:03,000
Fuck you.
113
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:06,950
Take care, Johnny.
114
00:07:06,955 --> 00:07:08,155
Goodbye, Johnny.
115
00:07:31,700 --> 00:07:34,900
How many time do I have to tell you ?
It's a hot set so stay out !
116
00:07:40,100 --> 00:07:41,550
You know we love you.
117
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,850
So, we come to submit to
put you in the spotlight,
118
00:07:44,855 --> 00:07:46,400
where you belong.
119
00:07:46,550 --> 00:07:48,550
This one's right up her on you Erica.
120
00:07:49,500 --> 00:07:51,350
- Ok let's hear it.
- All right, so...
121
00:07:51,500 --> 00:07:53,350
We're looking at next year serie.
122
00:07:53,550 --> 00:07:56,795
We're rackling our brains to find something
to complete with 'Lawman',
123
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,700
you know... Then we thought : what if we do
a sexy version of 'Dog the bounty hunter'
124
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,950
Something with a strong female leader.
125
00:08:02,955 --> 00:08:05,000
- You don't see that up there.
- Yeah, not since Buffy.
126
00:08:05,005 --> 00:08:09,250
Right. So we thought let's do
a half hour action reality thing
127
00:08:09,255 --> 00:08:12,550
where you find people at the wrong
place at trhe wrong time.
128
00:08:12,555 --> 00:08:13,655
Then you come in...
129
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,250
And you save the day like a super hero.
130
00:08:16,255 --> 00:08:17,800
- Everybody love super hero.
- Yeah.
131
00:08:17,801 --> 00:08:21,850
We shoot on ready, you know kinda
slice of life, reality style.
132
00:08:21,855 --> 00:08:25,600
We're thinking about calling it :
'YOU GOT SAVED'
133
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,750
Ok guys... this is... hum....
134
00:08:29,500 --> 00:08:30,700
- Great.
- Right ?!
135
00:08:30,705 --> 00:08:33,000
It's great, ok.
136
00:08:33,300 --> 00:08:35,900
- I'm in.
- Fantastic !
137
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,900
You know, we couldn't think
of anyone better.
138
00:08:37,950 --> 00:08:39,950
This could be a nice business
for all of us.
139
00:08:42,100 --> 00:08:44,400
- Hey... Hold on Johnny !
- What the hell is going on ?
140
00:08:44,401 --> 00:08:46,400
Your fucking speech to me shows
what's going on.
141
00:08:46,405 --> 00:08:47,700
- Security !
- Get overhere !
142
00:08:47,705 --> 00:08:48,905
Security !
143
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,900
Is that looking fucking real to you ?!
144
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,400
You guys surely know how
to pitch the show.
145
00:09:36,450 --> 00:09:38,650
You a real piece of shit !
You know what Johnny ?!
146
00:09:38,750 --> 00:09:41,300
I'm gonna make sure you never
work again you mother f...
147
00:09:53,700 --> 00:09:54,900
What the fuck
148
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:56,800
is this ?
149
00:09:57,100 --> 00:09:59,050
Johnny Cage.
150
00:09:59,900 --> 00:10:01,250
Who are you ?
151
00:10:01,300 --> 00:10:03,300
I've come here to make you an offer.
152
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,800
How did you just do that ?
153
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,100
What if I could offer you, Mister Cage,
154
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,800
a way out... of everything !
