RECORDED EARLIER
The camera is rolling, and we see Mikami walking down a hall in the hospital from last time, still carrying the plastic bag. He peeks into an open door before walking inside. He stops suddenly as we see Rick Mad standing next to one of the beds.
Rick Mad: Surprised?
Mikami: I thought you would still be resting now.
Rick Mad: Nah, I looked worse than it really was. Doctors say I can go home now.
Mikami: I brought what you asked.
Rick Mad: Oh, thanks.
Mikami hands the bag over and Mad rummages through.
Rick Mad: Don't need most of this anymore...but...here we go!
He pulls a camcorder tape out of the bag.
Mikami: What is that?
Rick Mad: This...is the night you can't remember.
Mikami: Oh no.
Rick Mad: Come on. We have to watch it at least once. Then we can destroy it, OK?
Mikami sighs.
Mikami: Fine, how do we watch it?
Rick Mad: That's why you brought these.
Mad pulls a set of A/V cables out of the bag. He hooks one end to the television in the room.
Rick Mad: Give me that.
Cameraman: Hey!
There is a short struggle, but Mad finally takes the camera away. The scene cuts out, but then comes back on, as the cameraman has apparently produced another, smaller camera to record this scene.
Mikami on TV: Heyyyyyy cameraguy, how about you follow me around tonight? I promishhhh you will haff a good time.
"Cameraguy": Actually, I'm being paid to follow you around. Celebrities at their lowest makes good TV.
Mikami on TV: But I'm not a shelebrity...well OK, that worksh too. Have a drink first, though.
Cameraguy: Well, alright. Just one.
The scene on the television cuts out. When it comes back on, Mikami and Cameraguy are sitting in the back of a black SUV and both are very obviously drunk. Mikami leans his head out the window.
Mikami on TV: LOOK AT ME I AM BATMAN oh no wiat its teh Joker that does tis
Cameraguy laughs so hard that he starts snorting. The scene cuts out again and is replaced by an absolute mess of a hotel suite. Mikami is lying on the floor in a puddle of drool. Various and sundry objects surround him, including a broken lamp, a sleeping bag, and an empty cardboard box that says "FULL" on it.
Mikami: OK, I remember enough that I can explain everything in that room. Except for the chicken.
Rick Mad: What chicken?
Television Mikami slowly sits up and raises his left hand, revealing a rotisserie-cooked chicken stuck on it.
Mikami on TV: Oh, bloody hell.
Mad bursts out laughing.
Rick Mad: Well, at least there wasn't a tiger there.
Mikami: A tiger? Why the hell would there be a tiger? How could anyone possibly get a tiger into a hotel room?
Rick Mad: Just forget it.
Mikami: You know, you were a lot more respectable when I had no idea you were, and you were just in the shadows and did not say much. Seriously, that has to be the stupidest thing I have ever heard.
Rick Mad: I said forget it.
Mikami: Now, what would have been really bad, is if there had been a karaoke machine in there. That would be more embarrassing than anything I have seen on this tape.
A still-drunk Television Mikami drags himself off the floor. Cameraguy limps behind him, revealing...a karaoke machine. TV Mikami puts in some coins and hits a button before picking up a microphone, even though no music is coming out of the machine.
Mikami: Oh God no.
Mikami on TV: JUST A SMALL TOWN GIRL--
Mikami: THAT IS ENOUGH OF THAT.
He lunges forward and ejects the tape from the camera.
Mikami: I am going to destroy this myself. I do not trust you with it.
Rick Mad smirks.
Rick Mad: Whatever you say. Just don't take too long. You have a match to get ready for. An important match.
Mikami: It is now.
Mad sighs.
Rick Mad: Look, I know you think that some of these matches are pointless. I know you wish that I would just get to the point with all this. But the thing is, I can only do so much as far as getting you to the next level. If you don't win more matches, you don't stay on TV. It's as simple as that. And as far as Corey Black and Torture, they're enemies, and that's all you need to know for now. Remember, Torture is the one who put me in here. You saw what he did. You saw evil with your own two eyes, didn't you?
Mikami: Yes, I did.
Rick Mad: Good. So, you go and play nice with Ryan Daniels, and win your match. Hopefully that will give you some momentum going into next week.
Mikami: And if we do not win?
Rick Mad: Look, you just need to try harder. I've seen what's happened to you. After you won the U.S. Title, you just got bored. You need to make a decision. You need to choose to rekindle that fire. Now repeat after me: I will work harder.
Mikami: I will work harder.
Rick Mad: Good. I know this hasn't been easy for you, but I just don't want you to repeat the mistakes that I made in my career.
Mikami: You seem to be on the right track now. EWE World Title...
Rick Mad: Yes, because I learned from my mistakes. Just keep on keeping on, and one day you'll get your redemption for losing to Torture.
Mikami: And then?
Rick Mad: And then, uh, it will be an example to all the evil in the world! Yes, that's it!
Mikami: All the evil in the world...they will really see what I do here, and fear me? And then all the crime and injustice will stop?
Rick Mad: Well, no, not all of it. That's just the way the world is. There's always people that think they can beat the system. That think they can escape from the good guys like yourself.
Mikami: There has to be a way to stop all of them.
Rick Mad: Well, uh, you just keep on working on that Utopia thing there. I'm going to finish up here and I'll see you downstairs.
Mikami leaves the room.
Rick Mad: What a piece of work. I wonder how he found this guy.
The camera is rolling, and we see Mikami walking down a hall in the hospital from last time, still carrying the plastic bag. He peeks into an open door before walking inside. He stops suddenly as we see Rick Mad standing next to one of the beds.
