Previously on Master Law.

You know about Scorpio? They have poison cartridges implanted in their pinkies.

They'd rather die than be captured.

Scorpio is the most powerful organization on the planet. And so?

We'll have the means to topple nations.

I thought I killed him decades ago. But he arose like a scepter. One lonely

functionary. I almost admire his tenacity.

But I have something you want.

Hello, Father.

If anything happens to Tian, I will come after you.

And when we meet, there will be no rules. Shadow Law has challenged us for

last time, Ms. Bok. I will take care of him personally.

May I help you? We're police officers.

We are here to see Wenqing.

I'm sorry. He does not wish to be disturbed now. We didn't ask what he

for. Take.

His granddaughter must really not like him to be bothered.

Richie.

Where's Maya?

She went for a swim.

You will tell us everything you know about Scorpio.

Scorpio? You were the major crime lord in Shanghai for ten years.

Scorpio was born under your watch.

Don't tell us you don't know anything about them.

I'm afraid you have the wrong man.

I'm a painter.

I'm sure that's what you told immigration.

When they learn otherwise, how fast do you think you will be deported?

Scorpio began as a minor criminal organization.

In fact, Shanghai had dozens of them back in the late 1960s. But they didn't

stay minor.

In fact, it was crushed.

By another of the triad, which one I do not recall.

Ah, but then it was resurrected.

Oh.

By a white man from Hong Kong with great vision.

In fact, he deserves all the credit.

I mean the blame.

Go clean yourself up.

The white man who took control, you say he had vision.

You have only to see what Scorpio has become.

Yet 20 years ago, he reached everything.

Scorpio's future and his own freedom. 20 years ago in Shanghai, Scorpio ambushed

50 police officers and buried them alive.

Then after the ransom was paid, they left them there to die.

You misinterpret Scorpio's intention.

It was never about burying.

It was about burying only one.

You damn along.

Scorpio agents really know how to cover their tracks.

I mean, they barely leave a trace.

Please, some good news. I said barely leave a trace.

The penthouse Scorpio used and the car they blew up, they tried to cover up the

paperwork, but they were both leased by a dummy corporation called Brillo, which

is a subsidiary of another dummy corporation called ISC.

36 dummy corporations later, the breadcrumbs lead to a century city law

called Payson and Mayfair. This law firm.

You believe it's the Scorpio headquarters?

Or a front. I mean, these agents don't carry Scorpio credit cards.

Is this all the stuff that you got from Shanghai?

All arrived last night.

The rest of my old cases.

Samuel, you haven't been home.

When he said he buried those police alive for revenge against me,

I never hurt anyone.

So maybe he's knowing you, Samuel.

You know, trying to keep you up all night, drive you crazy.

If Wengie is telling the truth, and this man has my son, and I must do

everything I can to find him, you really think there's an answer in these old

cases? It's all I have to go on.

I'll check on that law firm. Maybe I'll find something.

Samuel, how about lunch? My treat.

I have more case files to go over.

Hey, Samuel.

I need to talk to you.

You can wait.

Look, I swear I'm not trying to get you away from your work, okay? Even though

it looks like you really, really do need a break.

It's actually kind of important.

We should leave this place right now.

What's wrong?

They didn't put prices on my menu.

It's okay, Samo. Just order whatever you want.

And they will charge us whatever they think they can get.

It's common fraud in Shanghai.

No, it's because you have a guest menu, Samo. It's supposed to be like that,

see?

It's okay. It's a special occasion.

Special occasion?

Thanks.

Dennis Taggart, this is my friend and colleague, Samo Law.

Sammo, this is Dennis. Hi. Hi.

He's my fiancé.

You are engaged?

Yeah, he just asked me this morning.

Congratulations.

I'm happy for you both.

Pleased to meet you, Sammo.

Amy talks about you all the time.

She is a very special woman.

Yeah. I knew that from the very first moment I met her.

So, did you ask him yet?

There is something you wish to ask me?

Yeah, their mother is, actually.

Well,

obviously, if my father were still alive, it would be him, but it would

mean a lot to me if you would give me away at

my wedding.

It would be my honor.

Terrell, that thermal scanner is designed to find explosives.

Well, now it's going to find a poison cartridge in the pinkies of Scorpio

agents.

Pick up your phone.

Okay, check out the monitor.

Your phone's synthetic.

It registers orange, not purple.

A regular pinky registers as purple. A poison cartridge registers as orange. If

you see a purple pinky with an orange cartridge in it, chances are you got

yourself a Scorpio agent.

Even Scorpio agent's got a key.

Hey, Elmo, I really enjoyed this.

And if you ever have the moment, I'd love for you to come to my class and

to my kids about Shanghai.

You have to create with the boss.

Thank you again for the meal and for the honor.

Sammo, it'll mean so much to me that you're there.

Hi, sir.

Uh,

Dennis?

Well, there he was this morning, brushing my teeth.

All excited, knowing that I was going to ask you to marry me when all of a

sudden I had this crazy idea.

I don't get it.

I booked up a suite at the Fairmont.

In San Francisco?

Pretty sure yourself there, huh, cowboy?

Wine on the balcony, dinner at Ernie's, dessert on the wharf. It sounds

wonderful, really, but I can't just go to San Francisco.

You should go, if there is something important.

We know how to contact you.

Exactly.

Come on, Amy, let's be young and spontaneous.

I would love to.

But I don't want to be left out of the loop, Samuel. Promise me.

I promise.

Go have fun.

Supper rooms?

I got salads and sandwiches, salads and sandwiches.

Got some chitlin' cuppa soup, bruh.

Come on, make you rhyme like Johnny Cochran.

What rhymes with a quick? See, you don't know that, do you?

I got lunch on the go. Forget about the scales of justice. I got sandwiches,

sandwiches. I got low -fat mayo, bruh.

He's all purple. Keep moving.

That's it, Gracie. I guess this place is clean after all.

Look, if we continue, the choice is arbitration or a jury trial.

No. No.

Terrell, we got one.

Orange pinky. The guy across from you. The guy to the left.

Here's what I want.

First we ask for a continuum.

Excuse me. Uh -huh.

Who is the guy that just came in with the yellow tie on?

It's Mr.

Payson.

As in Payson and Mayfair?

Dennis. Dennis, get up.

What the hell happened?

Well, we're not at the Fairmont.

We're still in the limo.

Let's try the front.

Why is it so dark in here? Dennis, wait.

We're buried alive.

Who would kidnap a cop?

Much less the commander of the MCU.

Scorpio Woods.

Semolo. Yes, I know.

Good afternoon.

You just can't seem to keep your family and friends together, can you? You have

Amy and Dennis.

You'll be happy to know they're both alive, though confined to their

which is presently buried underground.

You buried them alive.

Their air supply should last a day at the most. In any event, a slow, painful

death awaits them.

It's me you want. Let them go.

And kill me slowly instead.

Oh, I am.

I really think you should stop shouting. Somebody might hear us.

Look, we're down too deep. Nobody's going to hear, okay?

And also, you're using up our air supply.

We don't have an air supply.

I didn't even think of that.

Who would do this?

I think I know.

Scorpio. It's a kind of terrorist group, but they've got a lot more money and a

lot bigger plans.

Why do you think it's them?

Well, these people, Scorpio, they used to operate out of Shanghai.

Twenty years ago, they buried alive 50 police officers. One of them was Sammo.

Sammo. It's the same M .O.

Plus, we've had some recent success against them. I think this is their

retribution.

Dennis, I'm so sorry.

It's all my fault. No, no, don't do that, Amy.

Amy, don't blame yourself. It's not your fault.

With 50 cops, how did they get out?

Um, a ransom was paid.

Okay, then that's what's going to happen here. The city is going to pay the

ransom. We'll get out.

Right.

But meanwhile, I don't think we should wait around for that to happen.

Give me a hand.

Watch yourself!

Coming up!

Good. With a record like that, the plaintiff has absolutely no credibility.

All right.

It appears to be a construction site, and you do have construction workers.

However, I don't see any damn construction really going on. You're

behind schedule.

Is that clear?

Take care of it. Now!

Whoever Payson's in there with is also Scorpio. What are they building here?

Look.

It's a federal building.

Scorpio's probably bugging every square foot of this place.

They're coming out.

That one with the blue hat and broken nose, he was the limo driver.

He kidnapped Amy.

He can tell us where she is.

But he won't. He can't threaten a man who's willing to die.

So what do we do?

Stay objective and follow him.

Operation Skydive is ready for initial testing.

The target is collected?

Trans -International 377.

Jakarta to Kuala Lumpur.

Presently 200 miles out.

Excellent. Let's ensure it stays out.

The progress of our latest recruit. How's that proceeding?

He's perfect. Full of confusion and misplaced rage.

They're always the easiest to brainwash.

Let me show you.

Oh, sweet.

Sam -O -Law's only son, the latest agent of Scorpio. Turning him wasn't

difficult.

But Scorpio is about to venture into a very critical period. I couldn't agree

more. Then respectfully, sir, do you think it wise of us to commit so much of

our time and resources to Sam -O -Law?

Why not just kill him?

I am killing him.

I've turned his son.

I've buried his friend.

If you mean, will Sam -O -Law die a quick and easy death, the answer is no.

He'll first lose everyone that means anything to him.

When he has no one left, when he's but a moment from ending his own wretched

life, then, and only then, will I peacefully relieve him of the task.

Manette Construction's got contracts for prison projects in San Fernando, naval

shipyards in Long Beach, and a couple dozen others in Southern California.

And that's just local.

They're a global company. They're building all over the world.

You mean Scorpio East Building?

Sam, are you okay?

You're tired. Maybe you should take a little break. You know, an hour to catch

up on your sleep.

I don't need sleep, Sam. Oh, Grace is right.

You gotta recharge your battery. Otherwise, you'll destroy your body.

I'll recharge after I find Amy and Dennis.

Which building sites are still taking their foundations?

I got a list here.

Start with the Federal Building, where the limousine driver was.

The Scorpio agent, Brian Milbreath.

I'll see if I can get into his trailer. I'll check out the rest of these sites.

Hey, excuse me!

I need to talk to your foreman.

You Matilla Indians?

What the hell's this got to do with me?

Well, for starters, you're digging up their secret campground. Let me see your

archaeological variants.

Uh, yeah, it's, uh, I'll have to check the files, though. You can check, but

won't find it, Mr. Lester. If you had it, I wouldn't be here.

All right.

Fine. So, what kind of find am I looking at here, huh?

Why? Let me tell you something, Mr. Lester. You're lucky you haven't started

building. Instead of you letting me scan your soil for Umatilla artifacts, I'd

be ripping down your brand new walls and tearing up your finished floor.

All right, so how long is this, uh, scanning gonna take?

Who are you?

Police. I'm here to talk about the Neighborhood Watch program.

Neighborhood Watch?

It's my job to get the program started in new developments.

You know, we just moved in. I still have half the house to unpack.

Maybe your husband would like to get involved.

Oh, no.

Brian's got no time.

No. Poor guy just broke his nose on a construction job.

He barely took two minutes to see a doctor.

His boss must appreciate his hard work. His boss don't appreciate nothing.

He'd work Brian to death if he could get away with it. Day and night he's on

call, you know? Like he's a friggin' doctor.

If you think his boss is breaking any labor laws, I could look into it.

Do you know his name?

No. No, he won't talk about him.

What is that?

A weed already?

I keep telling him.

Brian? You're a grown man.

Tell your boss you won't be treated this way. I mean, what's the worst that can

happen? He gets fired, right?

Big deal.

So, are we all clear?

Yeah, there's nothing down there.

All right, men, let's make up for some lost time.

Sorry.

Dr.

Wells, please call extension.

Well, he's a lucky man under the circumstances.

When can I see him? Not for a while. He's still sedated. And we've got him on

chest tube.

Chest tube?

For the pneumothorax.

His left lung was punctured from a pair of broken ribs.

The chest tube drains the chest cavity, and that re -inflates the lung.

We'll need to keep a close eye on him for the next 48 hours.

After that, he can leave the hospital?

It's hard to say. His biggest problem is a lacerated spleen.

Sometimes these injuries heal themselves, but if it doesn't, he'll

Autist. And you still call him lucky?

Lucky. Not healthy.

You know, you don't look too good yourself.

When was the last time you had any sleep?

Hand

me

that flare.

But tell me what you're doing with this again.

I'm going to create a fuse with these wires and then use the flare to ignite

gas tank. Hopefully the explosion will give us a way out of here.

Or at least attract some attention.

Listen, I know that I only teach grade school, but if we blow up the limousine,

don't we blow up with it?

No, we'll remove the seat and create a barricade for ourselves as far away from

the gas tank as possible.

Then it's what? If you have a better idea, believe me, I'm willing to listen.

I think we should give the ransom thing a little more time.

For all we know, they've already paid the ransom. The police are already

Nobody's coming, Dennis. We don't know that. Dennis, nobody is coming.

Look.

When Scorpio buried those 50 cops, they left them there to die.

Even after the ransom was paid.

Maybe I shouldn't have told you, but I feel like if this is it for us,

I don't want to go out lying.

No, it's okay.

Hey, get back to work, okay?

France International Flight 377 has gone down outside Kuala Lumpur, killing all

234 passengers and crew on board.

According to local reports, the aircraft appeared to be out of control when it

plummeted into a remote area. Detective. Detective Parker's awake now. Details

of the crash are still sketchy, but we will continue to update you throughout

our broadcast.

Don't try to talk.

Samuel, you're not listening to me. He knew who I was.

He said he would kill me slowly.

First John, then Amy.

Now you.

Grace.

Grace.

Amy. Yeah.

If we're going to die, I don't want to do it with a guilty conscience.

Well, we are not going to die, and you have nothing to feel guilty about, so

don't worry about it. Yes, I do.

I thought that I could just hide it somewhere, someplace where I could

that it never happened, but I can't.

I love you so much.

I just never anticipated a situation like this.

Oh, no.

Dennis, please.

I slept with Christine.

Christine?

That teacher that you dated before me?

When?

You mean since we've been dating?

Yes.

Hey, find what you're looking for in there?

Yeah, maybe we can help.

Yes, sir.

Xian. Xian.

I have been searching for you for years.

Of course you have.

Family has always meant so much to you.

That's why you weren't there when my mother died.

I was sent on a case. I hurried back as fast as I could, but I was too late.

You know that.

I never even shed a tear.

She comes with us.

They are murderers.

You haven't committed any crime yet.

It's not too late for you to walk away.

Sorry.

Not interested.

Don't make me do this.

You always wanted me to be the best father.

And now I am.

Thank you.

Why am I here?

Why didn't you kill me at the sight?

Pain takes time, especially when administered correctly.

And I wouldn't want Sam O 'Lore to miss one excruciating moment.

You're needed.

Miss Mark will have the pleasure of inducing your first round of pain.

How can you hate Sammo so much?

I am what he made me.

He trained you in

Chianko?

Total control over mind and body.

I could do that by the time I was 12.

Do you know how you learn to do that?

You hit a brick.

Over.

And over.

And over for years until you learn how to break it instead of your fingers.

And you never cry.

That must have been hard for a little boy.

At first, all the training didn't make sense to me.

But I found a goal I'm gonna work for.

For myself.

But he took it away from me.

After all that work, why would he do that? He was supposed to be my father.

would he do that to me?

Why don't you ask him yourself?

Forget it.

Look, he came all the way to America to make things right.

At least give him that chance. No more chances.

I placed it here.

With Scorpio.

And the one.

Can we please talk about this?

Talk all you want, Dennis. Don't use up my air.

We broke up the night before. You told me to go to hell. Did you listen?

Wait. Now, are you talking about the weekend of my birthday?

It wasn't planned.

It wasn't an affair. We ran into each other at one of the seminars, and then

had dinner. Whose idea was that?

It was late.

We were hungry. I think that's perfectly innocent.

Obviously not.

Amy, I thought we were trying to be honest with each other. Hey, my honesty

noble, okay?

Your honesty was just to relieve your guilt.

So now, if we don't make it, my last thoughts have to be of how you cheated

me.

Amy, I'm sorry.

And I love you too much to let a secret ever come between us.

Oh, man.

Who the hell is that?

The limo driver.

The real one.

Oh, God.

My husband, he's... He's dead.

He's dead, okay?

It's a car accident.

Coming home from work.

Scorpio.

What?

I'm very sorry.

I'm sorry.

Why were you watering the backyard with the hose?

What?

The front yard has sprinklers. Why doesn't the back?

Brian, uh, he was in a hurry to lay down the sod.

He said we put the sprinklers in later.

When did this happen?

The other day.

The quality is wired.

The flare ignites the fuel tank.

The limo blows a nice big hole for us to climb out of.

Amy, I'm so sorry for what I did, for hurting you.

I love you so much.

Someone's digging.

What are you doing?

There might be enough battery left to open the sunroof. The dirt.

It'll come pouring in.

But if we can hear someone digging, that means they're close enough.

They're close enough to help.

Look, our air's almost out.

I don't know if we have any time.

You've discovered how the police infiltrated our construction sites?

The failure was Milbreth, the foreman at the federal building.

He's been dealt with.

Car accident.

I made sure he knew what hit him.

But we still don't know how they were led to us. I suggest we get the answer

of Grace Chen. No, no, not yet. Sir, respectfully, we need to find out how

she knows to protect the integrity of Operation Skydive. Miss Buck!

That is the second time you question my judgment!

That certainly wasn't my intention.

I execute people for far less impertinence.

I would have thought since you carry out those executions, you'd know better.

Again, I apologize if I gave you the wrong impression.

Sam, how's Amy and Dennis?

Dehydrated, but better.

The doctor said they will be fine.

All this is my fault.

Now, Samuel, you saved their lives.

I'd pat you on the back, but I'm afraid I might pass out.

I'm just worried about Grace and Sian and what the one will do to them.

What'd you do, kill this guy's mother or run over his dog?

No.

But there is a case I found from 22 years ago.

I arrested a man who later died and...

Yes. Sam -O -Law, would you like to spend a last moment with Grace Chen

kill her in the most horrific manner?

Where and when? The old warehouse at the corner of Main and Fenton. I will be

there.

Where are you going?

A warehouse on Main and Fenton.

Grace is there.

And maybe she's on. And a couple dozen Scorpio agents. It's a trap.

I didn't say it wasn't.

Maybe I can trade their lives for mine.

Let me call for some backup.

No backup.

Get well.

Train fluid.

Yo, we still got that lawyer. We can follow him again.

Where is we?

So worried about Grace Chan, you don't even greet your own son?

Where is she?

Have they heard her? Have they?

It's we.

Don't forget I'm part of Scorpio, too.

Let her go. All right, then.

Oh, you figured out who I am!

Good for you!

Let her go.

You can have me instead. No, Lao Lao Tzu.

I already have you.

But Han is just beginning.

There is no reason to hurt her.

It's me you want, Ulrich.

I was the one who sent your brother to prison.

You murdered him. I arrested him for committing a crime.

Stealing weapons.

The rest was fate. Do not shirk your responsibility.

He was sentenced to hard labor, digging tunnels because of you.

And when that mountain collapsed on him and 50 other prisoners, when he slowly

suffocated, you, Sam O 'Law, were the one responsible.

I lost my only brother.

You too must lose the life of a loved one.

But because I possess more compassion than you showed my brother, I will allow

you to choose who lives and who dies.

Who will it be?

Grace?

Or Shian?

It's your choice.

What was that?

Tonight at 9.

We've got one religious maniac, one malignant dwarf, two mere idiots, and

rest I don't even want to think about.

Well, I can't think of a better way to fight a war.

That's the 30 Dozen.

Tonight on I Can Be Four.
