[so sorry about this.]
- Zoe, spit it out.

- [So my cousin Donnie, he's
a great martial arts master,]

[And his girlfriend Tracy
will meet you at her tea shop.]

Zoe had a cousin.

they're pretty close.

Zoe actually lived

- Yeah, sure.

- (woman on intercom):
Dr. Bisson, oncology.

- The contusion on his chest
suggests he suffered

a serious blow.
- There was no one near him

when he collapsed.
We saw the whole thing.

- Sometimes, when a fighter
is struck, it's not evident

until there's an increase
in blood flow.

Especially
with internal bleeding.

But that doesn't
explain his collapse.

- What would?
- Heart attack, aneurysm,

even heatstroke.
I've ordered a full blood panel

and tox screen.
I'm gonna send Donnie down

for some X-rays and an ECG.
We should know more soon.

(woman on intercom)

- I don't know
if any doctor can help.

- Why would you say that?
- Some people believe

that the damage caused
by Teetsa Jeung can't be undone.

- What exactly
is Teetsa Jeung?

- It translates
to "Iron Palm."

It's an advanced
martial arts technique.

It involves harnessing
the body's kinetic energy

into a single blow.
Supposedly, it can stop

a person's heart,
even hours later.

Sorry, this is nothing
to do with you.

- No, we're gonna help you
figure this out.

Zoe is family,
that means Donnie is too.

- Iron Palm or not,
it seems that someone

assaulted Donnie this morning.
Do you happen

to know where he was
before the demonstration?

- Did he meet up with anyone
out of the ordinary?

- Um, I don't know.
He didn't come to the tea shop

like he does every morning.
I usually make him

an extra-large tea,
and then he goes to the studio.

Maybe I can check his schedule.

That's weird,
his password isn't working.

- Maybe he changed it.

- Things have been

kind of tense lately.
We had a big fight

last week, but I never thought
that he would shut me out.

- We have some friends
at the police station;

we can try to get it
unlocked if you like.

- Yeah.
- Donnie's boss...

- Irving. He might know more.

- We'll go talk to him.
We'll be in touch.

- You don't actually believe
any of this Iron Palm
stuff, do you?

- I don't know. There's a lot
we don't understand

about Eastern traditions.
I used acupuncture

all through my hockey career.
- Acupuncture is a long way

from a magic death punch.
- I don't know,

That was Shaolin balance

I was about to take him
on a massive competition tour.

Fifty cities.

I'm sorry.

- Thanks.

- Thank you for your help

I'm still in shock.

Donnie's like a son to me.
- Is that him as a kid?

- We went to Bangkok together.

- We're trying
to piece together

where Donnie was before the
demonstration, who he was with.

- He was here early
in the morning, then he left.

Said he had to
take care of something.
- Any idea what that was?

- Tony Wong.

He runs a Wing Chun studio
not far from here.

I can't believe he'd do
something like this.

- Tony came from mainland China
a few years ago,

spent a fortune
on his studio,

but people still flock
to train here. Not to mention,

Donnie beat him in a sparring
match several months ago.

They were supposed to have
a rematch this afternoon.

- No, Hazel, remember?

We heard that Donnie's
in the hospital now.

Wait. Say, someone wouldn't
have done that to him on
purpose, would they?

- Are you implying
I did something to Donnie?

- Well, it'd be good
for business. You could

eliminate the competition
and give away fewer freebies.

- If I would take out Donnie,
I'd do it publicly.

There's no honour in doing it
behind the scenes.

- Unless you're worried
you were gonna lose.

- Who are you two?
- Just a couple

- The doctor said

then from what?

an abnormality in clotting.

- What kind of abnormality?
- Well, normally,

it takes blood
10 to 14 seconds to clot;

in Donnie's case,
it took 16

implying he's deficient
in blood-clotting proteins.

- Is he on blood thinners?
- Not that I know of.

Donnie was really careful about
everything he put in his body.

- We screened for all
the common blood-thinning drugs,

there was nothing there.

I've ordered
some more tests.

Hopefully, we'll get
to the bottom of this soon.

explain the bruising,

he ended up like this.

make Donnie her special soup.

She said it cured everything.
- My grandma had the same thing.

Except her special soup
was whiskey.

- Mhm.

She'd buy it in big batches
from a Chinese herbalist.

Tasted disgusting, but always

Aspirin used to be made

(cell phone dinging)

- That's it.
- Willow bark?

- No, a herbalist.
- It's Danica. The police
unlocked Donnie's phone.

- I'll catch up with you later.
- Alright.

♪♪♪

- So, it turns out
the folks in Forensics

are actually super nice. You
just have to get them talking.

So we started talking
about passwords because

I've been using my birthday
for the past five years.

But apparently,
that's really bad,

so I think I'm gonna switch
to my mom's birthday, which...

I probably shouldn't
have told you that.

- Already forgotten.
So, the phone?

- Oh, yes!

Aaah... OK.

Alright. It's here.

- Did you find anything?
- It's none of my business,

but you may want
to check the text messages

that Donnie gets
from a Michelle.

Really, they do
a lot of meeting up.

- Ah. Good to know.

Thanks.

- I gotta change my password.

- (man): The nettle leaf and
quercertin will stop your cells
from releasing any histamines.

(words in Cantonese)
(traditional Chinese music)

- Can I help you?
- Oh, yes.

I'm looking for something
that would act as a
blood-thinning agent.

- Do you have a history of
cholesterol or high
blood pressure?

- Sure, let's go with that.
- I'll need something more

to go on before
I prescribe something.

- There was an incident
at the Seventh Night
Festival yesterday.

A wing chun martial artist
collapsed during
a demonstration.

- Yes, I heard about that.
- The doctors

can't figure out what's wrong
with him, and I was
just wondering--

- If I knew of anything that
they might not be checking for?

- Exactly.

- In traditional Chinese
medicine, the wrong mix

of ingredients can be
very dangerous.

For example,
high doses of fish oil

mixed with gingko biloba
could cause internal bleeding.

- So maybe somebody slipped
Donnie a dangerous mix

of herbs?
- Or...

He hasn't been in contact
with any poisonous snakes,

has he?
- Interesting question.

I'm gonna go with probably not.
- It's a long shot,

but some things you mentioned
could point to a haemotoxin.

- You mean snake venom?
- Yeah.

Excuse me.

- (Shade): Snake venom? It's a
little obscure, don't you think?

- I think that's the point.
It wouldn't show up

in any tox screens
and would fool the doctors

into thinking Donnie was
on blood thinners.
- Why?

- Well, haemotoxins
cause blood clots,

which means fewer platelets
in the bloodstream.

- Which would throw off
his test results.

- Exactly.
- Question is

where would Donnie come
into contact with snake venom?
- Yeah.

- It's not exactly something
you put in your morning coffee.

- Unless it is.
Didn't Tracy say

that Donnie comes by
for his tea every morning?

- You think Tracy's behind this?
What's her motive?

- Check out Donnie's
text messages. Apparently,

he'd been meeting in secret
with a woman named Michelle.

- "Hope I'll still get
to see you.

Been trying to call.
Are you on your way?"

Well, who is this woman?

- I don't know, but those
messages go back three weeks.

- No wonder Donnie changed
his password.

Are you thinking
what I'm thinking?

- We need to pay an after-hours
visit to our client's shop.

So, I intend
to poison my lover,

where do you hide it?

- Assuming she hasn't gotten
rid of it already.

- You may be on to something,
she is a smart girl.

- Yeah.

Not smart enough
to cover her tracks.

- Happy Valentine's Day.

- Nothing says "I love you"
like an untraceable haemotoxin.

♪♪♪
We had it tested.

It's snake venom.

- We found it in a teapot
in your shop.

- I don't know where
it came from, it's not mine!

I don't even keep toxic
cleaning products in my shop,

let alone snake venom!
- You already admitted

to having a big fight
with Donnie; what was it about?

Michelle?
- Who's Michelle?

- The woman Donnie's been
trading texts with, who
he's been secretly seeing.

- I don't know
anything about that.

- Maybe you were suspicious of
all the secrets, wanted to end

the relationship permanently?
- What?! I... No, I need

Donnie now more than ever!
- And why is that?

- Because of this.

- You're pregnant?
- Does Donnie know?

- I didn't know
how to tell him.

♪♪♪
He worked so hard

at the studio
his entire life,

but it doesn't
pay the bills.

- Is that what the fight
was about?

- I broached the idea
of him asking for a raise.

I mean, I love Irving,
but he's been paying Donnie

the same salary for eight years.
I think he's holding

Donnie back,
but Donnie's too nice

to say anything
about it.

- So you don't know
who this is?

♪♪♪
- I swear.

But I know Donnie, and there's
no way he's having an affair.

- So if our mystery woman
isn't Donnie's girlfriend,

then who is she?
- Let's find out.

(people talking in Cantonese)

(man laughing)

- Michelle?
- Hi! Who are you?

- We're "Donnie."

- I don't understand.

- We know about the texts you
sent him, the secret meet-ups.

- Are you his lawyers?
I thought he was

doing this alone.
- Doing what?

- If he doesn't transfer
the money by midnight,

the deal is dead.
- Whoa, whoa, slow down.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here
and say you're not

having an affair with Donnie.
- An affair?!

God, no! I'm Donnie's realtor.

- "Michelle Choi. Don't be coy,
go with Choi." It's clever.

- Uh-huh.
- Was he buying or selling?

I found him
the perfect property.

And I thought he was over
the moon. 10 000 square feet,

room for multiple classes.
- Hey, Donnie's buying

his own martial arts studio?
- Yes.

He had the down payment
and a guarantor in place
for financing.

I thought it was
a done deal.

- We're private investigators.

Donnie's been
in an accident.

- Oh, my God!
- This guarantor,

was it Irving Guzman?

- No, it was a woman.

An older woman.

Li something.
I can look it up.

- So Li Chen was helping Donnie
buy a martial arts studio.

- Maybe Donnie decided
to take Tracy's advice

and strike out on his own.
- But what about Irving?

They were just about to go
on a world tour together.

Fifty cities.
Unless...

- Unless what?
- Li Chen

confirmed that her and Donnie
had a special deal.

He was giving lessons to May
in exchange for her acting
as his guarantor.

- So those aren't

repayment dates;
those are lesson dates.

- Kind of hard to be
competing in Berlin

when you're coaching
in Toronto.

- If Donnie really was leaving
to open his own studio,

Irving's studio would be
in a lot of trouble.

- I think someone just shot
to the top of our suspect list.

♪♪♪

- How did you get in here?

Donnie is to you.

with a massive,
multi-city world tour.

- Not to mention
your expansion plans.

Spending investors' money

ten in the U.S...

they'd say when they found out
Donnie was pulling out?

- Where did you get these?

- Li Chen has a lot of pull
in this community.

- (Shade): You found out Donnie
was opening his own studio.

- And Tracy convinced him
that he'd be

better off without you.
(Irving scoffing)

- I have no idea
what you're talking about.

- We found this
in Tracy's tea shop.

Only, we don't know
what it is.

- If you found it in Tracy's
shop, why aren't you
questioning her?

- We did. She didn't know
what it was either.

So, we put some of it

in your tea.

- See, we realized
Tracy didn't make

Donnie's tea that morning.
You did.

How are you feeling?

- I put...

everything into
Donnie's career.

This tour was gonna
change everything.

Chi Sao would have been

the biggest studio

you're under arrest.

(handcuffs clicking)

You guys didn't really
poison the tea,

did you?

OK, yeah, let's go.

- Aaah... There he is,

hopping around.

- Tracy was telling me
in excruciating detail

about how the two of you
saved my life.

- Oh, she is exaggerating.
- So how are you feeling?

- Physically, like crap.

Mentally,

even worse now that I know
who's behind it.

- You could never have suspected
Irving would try to hurt you.

- No, but I should
have realized

that he was taking advantage
of me a long time ago.

And now I have nothing.

- Actually, we spoke
with Michelle Choi.

She convinced the seller
to extend the deadline

on the studio space.
- Are you serious?

- It's still yours
if you want it.

- Your own studio!
- Well, it's ours.

If you'll still
have me.

Listen, Tracy, I wanna talk
about our fight.

It's my fault.

I was the one keeping
secrets from you,
