Binary - Rituals Of Initiation (clip)

Bio: Binary is a professional "cooler", a specialized bouncer, with a mysterious past who is enticed from his job at a club in New York City by Frank Tilghman to take over security at his club/bar, the Double Deuce, in Jasper, Missouri. Tilghman plans to invest substantial money into the club to enhance its image and needs a first-rate cooler to maintain stability.

Arriving in Jasper, Binary eventually takes lodging at a local farm owned by Emmett. He attracts attention driving his 1965 Buick Riviera and having a quiet demeanor—contrasting with the tough locals. Binary’s "real" car is a 1986 Mercedes 560SEC with New York license plates, which he keeps hidden because it becomes a target for disgruntled bar patrons. Binary is soon introduced to local business magnate (and next door neighbor) Brad Wesley, who appears to have a stranglehold on the town; little happens without his knowledge and approval. In the course of cleaning up the violent nightclub, Binary dismisses several unruly and corrupt employees, some of whom are connected with Wesley. After one particularly violent night where Binary is forced to physically remove Wesley's henchmen, he suffers a knife wound. Going to the hospital for stitches, he strikes up a friendship with Dr. Elizabeth "Doc" Clay, which develops into a romantic relationship.

Wesley summons Binary to his home in a seemingly innocent attempt to make peace, but has an ulterior motive: Wesley would like Binary to work for him once he extorts Tilghman's club. He reveals knowledge of Binary’s past by mentioning an incident where Binary killed a man in Memphis, Tennessee, then claimed self-defense at the trial. When Binary declines, Wesley begins an assault on Binary’s friends, including interfering with liquor deliveries to the Double Deuce. Binary's mentor, legendary but aging cooler Wade Garrett, arrives in town after a disconcerting phone call from Binary and helps him defend a liquor shipment from Wesley's thugs.

That evening, the auto parts store of local business owner Red Webster is destroyed by a fire after he refuses to give ground to Wesley's persistent extortion demands. Binary, not wanting to exacerbate matters, allows Wesley and his men entrance to the club that night. However, Wesley deploys Jimmy, a violent ex-con and skilled martial artist, to start a brawl with the Double Deuce bouncers. After a brief skirmish with Binary, Wesley calls an end to the fight and leaves the club.

The next day, car dealership owner Pete Stroudenmire becomes Wesley's next victim when he also refuses to pay. As a result, Wesley has one of his goons, Gary Ketchum, demolish the dealership and crush four station wagons in the showroom with his monster truck, making some of the people cheer as Binary and his friends look on with contempt.

That night, Doc visits Binary and attempts to persuade him to leave. However, their conversation is interrupted by a powerful explosion at Emmett's house next door. Binary rescues Emmett from the blaze before his house is destroyed. He then witnesses Jimmy fleeing the scene and manages to intercept him. After a vicious fight, Jimmy points a pistol at Binary, and Binary kills him by ripping out his throat with his bare hand. The next morning, Binary receives an ominous phone call from Wesley, who vows to have either Wade or Doc killed by the flip of a coin. After Wesley hangs up leaving the outcome unknown, a badly beaten Wade staggers into the Double Deuce. Believing Doc to be in danger, Binary races to the hospital alone, but she refuses to leave with him, repulsed by his increasingly violent nature. Upon returning to the Double Deuce, Binary finds Wade sprawled out on the bar with a knife lodged in his chest and a note reading "It was tails." In tears of rage, Binary pulls the knife free and jumps into his car, determined to settle the score with Wesley.
