Kristo Tells Harry to Leave London, Explained：get mixed up with
Kristo and his solicitor read Harry's contract aloud and then give him the order: "Go to Montreal which is in Canada." Harry answers by presenting Kristo as his own partner, which drags Gregorius into the fight. The old wrestler takes Harry's side, and father and son turn on each other.
あらすじ
Kristo and his solicitor Chilk come to Harry's gymnasium with a copy of the contract and read it out, including a final payment due three days before the match. Then Kristo tells Harry to go to Montreal, meaning there is no place for him in London. Harry turns it around by calling Kristo his partner, and Gregorius sides with Harry against his own son.

What's really going on
The scene is a power struggle played with perfect manners. Kristo does not threaten Harry directly; he has the contract read aloud and says, "Go to Montreal which is in Canada," which is a polite way of declaring London off limits. Harry's counter is pure nerve: he introduces Kristo as his partner and makes the old wrestler choose sides. Gregorius's warning about Harry, "He'll swindle you, cheat you, break your heart," is delivered to a man who has already decided, and the reply lands like a slap: "You have break my heart!" What was a matter of business becomes a family rupture, and Harry is the one who engineered it.
Theme
PowerKristo does not argue or threaten; he reads a contract and orders Harry out of London, which is authority in action.

このシーンについての質問
Why does Kristo want Harry out of London?
Harry is trying to promote wrestling, and Kristo owns that territory. Rather than argue, Kristo has the contract read aloud and tells Harry to go to Montreal.
Why does Harry call Kristo his partner?
It is a bluff meant to put Kristo in a position where he cannot threaten him openly. It also forces Gregorius to hear the insult and take a side.
Why does Gregorius side with Harry?
He regards Harry as his partner and friend, and he is disgusted by what his son has done to wrestling. When Kristo attacks Harry, Gregorius takes it personally.
Why does Kristo bring a solicitor with him?
He wants the visit to look like business rather than a threat. Chilk reads the contract aloud and keeps the meeting formal, so the pressure is delivered as paperwork.
What does "get mixed up with" mean?
It means to become involved with someone, usually someone dangerous or unreliable. The son uses it to warn his father off Harry.
