DEKA #41.

The five SWAT Mode SPD Rangers and Omega race up to a complex, glance about, Blue speaks, then Red talks to the team, they salute, then split up, heading in all different directions. Meanwhile, on the docks, an alien named Bork meets with Herock and his four Yakuza buddies. Herock talks and points, Bork kinda hangs back not looking at him while responding.

Shots 1, 2, & 11 are textless, unlike source; shot 8 cuts before it lingers and whip pans; shots 11 & 12 are shortened; cuts follow-ups of Bork and Herock talking in close-ups.

DEKA #41.

Herock snaps his fingers, his Yakuza buddies drop their briefcases, toss aside their suits and hats, and are revealed to be four Blueheads, who quickly surround Bork. Herock talks, then the camera pushes in close on Bork, Herock reacting, as Bork's eyes flash, he clenches his fist, then he does a roundhouse, and poses all kung fu style. Meanwhile, Green runs down an alley, stops, talks, then scans the wall, seeing Bork, Herock, and the Blueheads on the other side. He talks into his mic, then rushes off. Herock gestures, then the Blueheads prepare to attack Bork. A flash of red erupts from the scene as Green arrives, finding only Bork remaining, surrounded by piles of smoke. Green and Bork exchange some dialogue for a bit, until Bork's eyes flash, Green gets alert, then Bork leaps in and begins to wail on him with a barrage of hits. Green finally gets a kick in, but it's blocked, with Bork returning a kick he ducks under, then throws another at him.

Trims start to remove Herock tossing aside cigar; cuts shot before track around; shot 7 is pushed back from source position and cuts before he smokes cigar; a few of the later Green/Bork talking shots are shortened to reduce dialogue; US replaces follow-ups of Bork kicking Green in the neck.
