Two years after they had been reunited in Brazil, Tong Po surfaced again. He set out to get back at David for his dishonor, so he set him up for a crime. David was tried, convicted and sent to prison, leaving Cali and Xian to take care of things. Cali assures David she's not going anywhere. She writes to him everyday and goes to see him when she can.
Inside his cell, David has a picture of Cali on the wall. He sits at his desk writing a letter to her.
'Dear Cali,
During my time away from you, I've learned more about the circumstances surrounding the death of my brothers at the hands of Tong Po. Tong Po… The same man that had me framed and sent to prison. It started with my brothers Eric and Kurt. Eric went to Thailand to fight their champion. He permanently crippled Eric by cheating. Kurt wouldn't take Eric back to the U.S. until he avenged the defeat. To prepare for his battle with Po, Kurt studied with the legendary Xian. After months of training, Kurt was ready to face Tong Po. Kurt won his fight. He avenged our brother and dishonored Po. Disgraced by his loss, Tong Po tracked my brothers down and shot them to death in an ambush. But killing my brothers was not enough, you know the rest but I want it written down. Po traveled to America to force me to fight him so he might regain his honor. Having quit fighting to teach, I wanted no part of this war. To force me into the ring, his men set fire to our gym, killing a young boy and nearly killing you too. Now I had no choice but to face the enemy. After winning that fight, I thought we'd seen the last of Tong Po. Then you and I fell in love again, started our school with Xian, and everything was wonderful, Cali… Until my arrest. But even that isn't enough. I've heard Tong Po's men, the same ones that framed me, may be after you. You must hide and remain safe until my release. I love you, Cali.
David.'
A red car carrying several men drive through the open gates of a compound in Mexico. The car pulls up to the front of the house squishing a snake curled in his path. A man gets out shouting at the woman in the backseat.
"Get out of the car. Come on!"
"I can walk!" Cali says struggling in the mans grasp, her hands tied tightly behind her back. She is wearing a white tank top of David's over a black bra, a blue jean skirt that hits at her mid thigh and she's barefoot.
"You'll walk when I tell you to walk."
The man grabs her by the hair leading her inside and to the top of a staircase, a bedroom lays below them.
"You see this. This is home. Ha ha! Let's go. Let's go pronto! Come on, baby."
"Asshole!"
The man behind them shouts, "Both of you shut the fuck up."
The man who holds her tells her, "You think you're so tough, you got a big boyfriend, and you're a champion fighter. (He shoves her into a chair) Get down!"
"Shut your fucking mouth. Take the cuffs off." The guy in charge says.
"You sure, amigo?"
"Just do it."
"Hey, you the boss-man."
He takes the cuffs off and Cali rubs her wrists, then the man starts laughing at her.
"Come on, baby. Like that, right?"
He runs his hand down Cali's face, she pulls back disgusted.
"No boyfriend's gonna save 'em now, huh?"
Cali grabs his right arm snapping the bones, the guy screams as Cali stands up and punches him in the face knocking him to the floor. The boss draws his gun and Cali hits him in the balls. Suddenly she is grabbed from behind, the guy using his good arm to trap hers behind her back.
"Let me tell you something! Listen to me, huh?! Only men got balls, you stupid bitch!"
Cali frees her left arm elbowing the man in the face, the boss fires his gun into the air from where he lays on the bed. It doesn't phase Cali, as the man charges her she blocks his punch and grabs him by the hair, smacking his head off the cement fireplace, snapping his neck.
Cali heads for the hallway only to find Tong Po coming down it towards her. She backpedals a step then swings at him, he blocks her punch, grabbing her arms, he knees her in the stomach dropping her to the floor.
"Hello again, Ms. Talon." He helps her up off the floor, "I hope that you had a pleasant trip crossing the border."
"Who the hell do you think you are? Why am I here?"
"Do you remember what I said to you after the fight?"
"I didn't give a fuck then and I still don't now!"
"Who I am is the man that framed your boyfriend. As for what I said then was that David would pay, you're the payment. After I framed him, I thought it only right of me to make it up to him by taking care of his little girlfriend."
The boss man limps towards the door, "Go, Po."
Cali head butts Po then spits in his face, Po laughs licking her spit from his lips. He leans forward trying to kiss her, she tries to pull away as he pins her down to the bed. He uses a silk tie from his pocket to bind her wrists together. He rips open her shirt and licks her neck savoring the sound of her angry screams.
Back at the jail David receives a letter, he opens it walking back to his cell. Inside are several pictures of Cali, beaten, tied up and being raped. David sits down in his chair as the bell sounds for the cell doors to close. A letter in with the pictures states, 'Don't worry I'm taking good care of her. Your old friend Tong Po.' David gets pissed throwing the photos to the ground.
Outside in the yard, David is fighting another inmate while a crowd surrounds them. David beats him till two guards come out, David is thrown into solitary.
Later David is released and brought in hand cuffs to an interrogation room where a guy sits in a suit and glasses holding a file.
"It's been a long time, Sloan."
"Every time one of you assholes from the DEA shows up, my life takes a bad turn. What is it this time?"
"I don't blame you for being bitter."
"I get busted trying to bring a major dealer to the U.S. for trial-"
"You weren't supposed to kill him."
"Hey, it was him or me. Tong Po saw to that."
"That's not how the courts saw it."
"He's got my girlfriend, Casey. It's been 2 years. She's probably dead."
"Maybe you can do something about it. In the last 5 years, Tong Po has become the most powerful drug lord in Mexico. He's got a damn fortress in the desert. The DEA has been trying to take him out the last 3 years, and has come up empty. We can't get close, but you might."
"Yeah."
"Every Day of the Dead, Tong Po invites all the top fighters from around the world to compete at his compound. The winner takes on Po for a million bucks."
"So the agency needs me again and just like that, I'm out of here."
"It's all been arranged. Po's men in here will be made to think that you're in solitary again. You'll compete in the tournament- if you qualify, that is- under an assumed identity. Remember, if Po recognizes you, you're dead."
"It's been a lot of hard years since Tong Po's seen me."
"Remember, we know you want to rescue your girlfriend. We think that's fine. The prime mission here is the elimination of Po."
"I'll kill him."
