You sure your ringer's on?

Yes. Checked my phone 5 minutes ago.

No news on Professor Chau.

Like getting hit with a bat,

but I knew it was coming.
Don't rush your moves.

Surprise is more
important than strength.

It can't be a coincidence.

Professor Chau goes missing

right as Zhilan shows up in Singapore?

Chau's pretty much the only expert

on the 8 weapons in the world.

I know, but we kind of
already talked about this,

like a lot.

Right now we're training.

You're distracted, rushing it.

Well, if you just learned
that your shifu

was killed by her own sister,
who's now probably kidnapped

the one person who might know
where the weapons are,

which means you may never find Zhilan,

you'd be distracted, too.

Yeah. Distracted maybe.

Sloppy, though?

You... you're calling my moves sloppy?

How about now?

Nicky.

- Evan.
- Wow.

Just a little morning cardio.

What we did in Mr. Plewa's
P.E. class was cardio.

That was wow.

Uh, Evan, this is Henry Yan.

Henry, Evan Hartley.

It's nice to actually meet you.

Likewise. Nice to meet you,
too. Heard a lot about you.

Yeah. Nicky and I go way back.

High school, was it?

Further.

So any news about Zhilan?

Oh. We'll talk later.

One of my sources
flagged something.

- That's her.
- Mm-hmm.

Your sketch matched.

That wasn't all you were right about.

Professor Chau.

A still from a surveillance feed

on the Singapore college campus.

He was a no-show for a seminar.

This was the last time Chau was seen.

I knew it. She's got him.

The Singapore police are
cooperating with the FBI.

They've got a bead on her
location. They're closing in.

Well, what will they do
when they find her?

Will they have enough to charge her?

She's wanted for kidnapping
an American citizen.

They'll take care of her.

_

Clear.

_

_

_

_

_

What do you want with me?

I just want to know what you know

about the Shuang Gou.

What about it?

It's just a legend, made-up stories.

You don't believe it's just a legend.

I've been watching your every move

since you published your first book
on ancient Chinese history.

I know about your secret research.

You're searching for the
location of the Shuang Gou.

And I believe you succeeded.

And now...

you're going to tell me where it is.

Shall we begin?

_

Nice having you back, helping out.

Thanks, Papa.

Uh, now, this isn't gonna
be a regular thing, is it?

No. I'm just pitching in. Why?

Well, have you thought of a plan
since you've been back?

- There's more in the van.
- I'll get it.

No, no, no. Let Papa do it. He
needs to take inventory anyway

- for the catering event.
- Catering event?

Mm-hmm, 100-day celebration
for the Yip family.

Genevieve had a baby girl.

Genevieve. Ah, she was a year below me.

Well, I can help.

- That's wonderful.
- No. Remember last time?

She dropped the case of cognac.

Mama, that was years ago.

Here. Let me help.

No. Wait. Nicky, Nick... wait.

It's not her fault.
She didn't see the sign.

Oh, who broke Jerry?

I was trying to help.

Well, didn't you see the sign? Mama?

- Mm-hmm?
- Where are my earbuds?

Ohh! It's in the office.

Next time check your pockets
before you leave the house.

Yeah. Yeah.
Thanks for grabbing 'em.

Oh. Hey, uh, catering
event Friday at 5 P.M.

Gonna need you there at 4:00.

Seriously, Mama? I
just said I could do it.

Don't worry. After
3 years, I'm used to it.

They'll never let me off the hook.

Good. End of discussion.

Jin, there's more in the van.

Hey, uh, we could both work the event,

like old times.

What?

Nothing.

_

Nicky.

You left me too soon.

How could you not tell me

Zhilan was your sister?

I told you: "I also
have a difficult family".

Difficult is one thing.

She killed you

over a sword, an object.

I tracked her down, like you asked,

but she escaped.

So I'm back to ground zero.

No Zhilan, no sword,

and making peace with my family.

That's a joke.

Don't give up, Nicky.

Ryan and I used to
hang out all the time.

Now he's always busy.

I know he hasn't forgiven me.

Patience, Nicky.

It takes time.

You have to earn forgiveness.

How?

Right.

_

Rest as much as you can.

And come back if you feel any worse.

What are you doing here?

I thought we could get lunch together.

Our usual, Mondo Burrito.

- Really, Nicky?
- Come on.

When have you ever said no to
a super Mondo prawn burrito?

Have you seen the line
outside my waiting room?

Yeah. It's pretty busy, but...

Always. I never eat lunch on workdays.

Besides, Mondo Burrito closed last year.

Oh.

Look, it's not about you. I just can't.

Okay. No worries.

Oh, here. Let me help you.

Oh, thanks. Oh, sorry.

No, it's okay. I got it.

I'm Faye. You're Ryan's sister?

You must be proud.

He's been my primary
care doctor for a year.

I passed out at work. No
one could figure out why,

but Ryan's been amazing.

He does so much for us.

Us?

The whole community.

Anyone I know who has
issues with insurance,

he takes the time,
leads them through it.

He even makes house calls.

You didn't know this?

I've been away.

- Hey, Faye, can I ask you a question?
- Sure.

Is there a body in this bag?

No.

Union lit and union signatures.

I'm organizing the workers
at King Kwong.

King Kwong?

The hottest streetwear brand in S.F.

You haven't heard of it?

If it's hot, hip, and new, no.

I work in the factory,

making their $90 hats and
$200 t-shirts for minimum wage.

That doesn't sound right.

It's not. Hence, the union.

You sure you're okay getting home?

I'm heading to work.

I thought I heard my
brother tell you to rest.

My sick days are unpaid.
Can't afford to miss a shift.

Hence, the union.

_

Huh. Chau's T.A.
said she'd be here.

So your friend Evan, what's your deal?

He's an old friend, an ex. Long story.

Why do you want to know?

I just... I liked his suit.

Wanted to ask him where he got it.

- Chau's T.A. texted back.
- _

She got pulled into a faculty meeting.

She's asking if we can do Tuesday.

Look, I can't just wait around.

Zhilan got to Chau before we could.

She's not slowing down. I can't either.

Well, what do you suggest?

I could kick the door in.

I love your enthusiasm, but I think

I have a slightly better idea.

Less destructive anyway.

Where'd you learn to do that?

YouTube.

_

A rather unassuming
torture device... thumbscrews.

So dainty, so painful.

What are the weapons to you?

Brought together, they're purported

to confer great power. I... is that it?

Most believe them to be a myth.

What do you want them for?

I told you,

I don't care what most people
believe, Professor Chau.

It's just us in this room,

and we are not most people.

Uh! Stop! Gah... aah.

Stop! Please. I know
where the Shuang Gou is.

But I have a request, a coffee.

A coffee.

Just one cup, preferably single origin,

Ethiopian.

I believe the person
who tightens the screws

gets to ask the questions.

I've been watching you.

Your necklace, the Crane.

The insignia of the Zhang family,

one of the 8 guardian families.

You are Zhang Zhilan. You have a sister,

Pei-Ling.

Your father, I read somewhere

that he was murdered.

You must have been just a child.

You know nothing.

I have no reason to tell you

where the Shuang Gou is.

Whether I speak or not,
this ends one way,

with me dead.

So I would like that coffee, please.

Is this anything?

Sure, if you don't have a library card.

Everything here is publicly
available research of Chau's

or, like, faculty correspondence.

Well, there's got to be
something useful in here.

I doubt it.

Chau's a visiting professor.

This is just a temporary office.

Sounds hollow.

What are you doing?

What if it's a false bottom?

My dad took us to a spy
museum when I was 10.

We used to pretend we were detectives.

Read every Agatha Christie book,

Encyclopedia Brown.

Nicky, I think you hit the jackpot.

What is this?

No idea. It looks old,

like some kind of puzzle box.

You think there's something inside?

That looks a lot like...

The Crane, the symbol
on Zhilan's necklace.

Just to be clear, we're borrowing this.

Once we inspect it, learn what we can,

we're returning it to Chau's office.

Absolutely.

Faye!

What happened? I'm a friend.

She collapsed at work.

Please, miss. Out of the way.

They said you were
at work when you collapsed.

I haven't been able
to get ahold of Ryan,

but the nurse said that you're stable.

Did she say when I can leave?
I've missed too many shifts.

I don't show for work, they'll fire me.

Faye, you need to rest.

I can't let everyone down.

They're counting on me
to finish this fight.

The union?

I started this.

I have to finish it.

Well, let me help you.

You've been sticking
up for everyone else.

It's time someone stuck up for you.

A lot of spam calls lately?

What? Oh, yeah.

Solar panels.

Huh. Okay. I'm done. Now what?

Oh, use your body. Hold the door closed.

I need tension.

I think I got it.

Let's step back.

Ohh.

The hinges are weak.

Then get new hinges.

Dennis and I, we can
help pay for a new fridge.

How old is Jerry anyway? Like 20?

22. And, no, thank you.

We'll have to pay full
price for a repairman.

It'll probably cost almost
as much as a new fridge.

Hey, Nicky.

Hey. Where's Ryan? He's
not returning my texts?

He's busy.

Okay. Busy where?

- Hua Tuo's apothecary.
- What is that?

Only the hottest bar in North Beach.

But, seriously, Nicky, don't go...

What are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

I've been trying to reach you for hours.

You're too busy to text me back

or to eat lunch with
me, but, apparently,

not too busy to drink at a bar.

Also, should I be worried
that you're drinking alone?

- Nicky.
- What?

- Hey.
- Hi.

Oh, my God. You're not alone.

Joe, this is Nicky, my sister.

I am so sorry. I didn't
mean to interrupt.

Nicky, you need to get a job
or a hobby because clearly...

It's about Faye.

Faye? Wha... how do you know Faye?

She's at the hospital.

Just one second.

What happened?

She collapsed again.

I don't know if it's just exhaustion,

but she's getting sicker.

I'll call the hospital,
talk to the attending.

Okay. But in the meantime, she's broke.

And with no sick leave protection,

she's probably going to lose her job.

We have to do something.

Nicky, I do something every day.

And every day, it's usually not enough.

I'm a doctor, not a
labor rights attorney.

I can't fix the world. Neither can you.

So what, we're just supposed to
let King Kwong get away with this?

Uh, King Kwong, the streetwear brand?

Yeah.

Eddie Kwong, the founder and designer,

he's a local success story in Oakland.

I wouldn't call him hyper woke exactly,

but image definitely matters.

Just saying, if you think

the company's mistreating its workers,

you may have some leverage there.

How do you know all this?

I'm an activist.

I've got friends in labor organizing,

and, well, if Eddie's
abusing his workers,

then consider it burned.

King Kwong's got a showroom in Oakland

right next to the factory.

They have weekly promo parties.

He may be there tonight.

Dude loves the limelight.

Thank you.

And, again, I'm sorry.

Nice to meet you.

You, too.

I like her.

Think you can get me
into a party tonight?

A party?

A King Kwong party in Oakland.

King Kwong?! Okay. But I'm coming with.

I've been in this kitchen for so long,

I'm starting to smell like Jerry.

Okay. Bye.

You know a lot about me.

I confess, Professor Chau,

that was a surprise.

But I know a lot about you, too.

You pursued scattered clues,

chasing fragile leads,
digging through apocrypha.

You got close,

close enough to know
where the Shuang Gou is,

but you held back. Why?

It's inaccessible, too dangerous.

That must hurt...

to know where it is

without ever knowing for sure,

without ever seeing with your own eyes

that the weapons are real.

Yes.

I can take that pain away.

I can show you that
you were always right,

right to believe.

The sword.

The myth is real.

Oh, I so needed this tonight.

Yeah. Me, too.

Althea Shen plus one.

What is all this?

How the world gets smaller.

The fans stream their video in,

and these monitors
stream the video to them.

So they can see us?

That's what they're seeing. Smile.

It's kind of genius.

Eddie gets to keep the
actual party V.I.P.-only

all while monetizing virtual access.

Check this out.

Eddie pioneered an app that combines

social media, e-commerce,
and augmented reality.

I don't know half the
words you just said.

Love it, buying it.

It'll be delivered tomorrow.

Hey. Don't zone out on me.

I know why you're here, but
at least until Eddie shows,

try to have fun with me.

If he even shows.

Okay, I'm having fun with you. See?

That's all I ask. You know I'm easy.

Eddie Kwong's here.

Oh, Eddie, it looks good.

I heart King Kwong.

So what's your plan of approach?

I love the new line, Eddie...

- Eddie.
- Oh, so no plan.

- Eddie?
- Hello, hello, hello.

Eddie, when are the new
limited edition nitros coming out?

I just bought my
first King Kwong hoodie.

Yes. Shout-outs to the newest member

of the King Kwong crew.

Which design did you get?
Domino? Chevron? Splatter?

No idea. But I want to talk to
you about one of your workers,

- Faye Lai.
- Uh, what?

She's been hospitalized
from working herself so hard,

and she's afraid she's
gonna get fired for it.

Fired? No, no, no. We're
not gonna fire faith.

You said... you said "faith", right?

We totally appreciate the contributions

of all our workers.

Uh, yo, brometheus.

This is Brett Slakter. He's our C.O.O.

He will answer any
questions you have, okay?

Thank you for being a fan.

Peace, love, and King Kwong.

I need to know you and
Eddie won't fire Faye Lai.

What makes you think
we're gonna fire her?

She's been missing a lot of work,

and I know she can't be your
favorite employee right now,

what with the union
drive, the petitions.

Hold on. I've been a huge ally.

I even pulled strings at the NLRB
to speed up her petition,

get her union signatures in for review.

Look, I'm a money guy,
but my dad was a union man.

Hey, hey, Kwong crew!

What's up? What's up?

We got some news that is straight fire.

I'm excited to get this off my chest.

King Kwong is going public.

It's IPO time, baby.

The King Kwong family is
going to the next level!

Taking a company public
after only two years?

Impressive.

What? I'm just saying that's fast.

Hey. How's the date?

I had to cut it short. Look,
I talked to the hospital.

They found something, PFCs in her blood,

a man-made chemical used
in the garment industry.

So she wasn't just overworked.

She was being exposed
to chemicals at work?

Looks that way.

But the amount, it's
off-the-charts high,

like consistent with direct ingestion.

They're doing another test to confirm.

That means King Kwong's
exposing all its workers.

Could be.

Do you really think this
is the best way, Nicky?

Calling Eddie out in front
of all these people?

Faye's in the hospital.

Who knows how many other workers
have been exposed to those chemicals?

Nicky, look around you.

This room is filled with Kwongsters.

Even if you're right, no way
Eddie's just gonna admit it,

not with all these live cameras
around and no proof.

You're right. I need proof.

Look, the factory's
attached to this building.

I need to find the chemicals
that were making Faye sick.

That was supposed to deter you.

I saw an entrance in the back.

Are you okay?

Headache. Very sudden. Can we go?

- What? No. This is my chance.
- You'll have others.

Althea.

Fine. If you want to rush in

and do something nuts,
be my guest. I'm going.

Althea, wait.

* I know you want what I got... *

Althea Shen, I'm sorry for
all the texts and calls.

Sure. I guess it's a total coincidence
that you're here right now.

Hey. I swear, I had
no idea you'd be here.

I'm covering the IPO announcement.

Complete coincidence.

But since you're here...

You figured you'd corner me?

Your story's important.

People should know what happened.

I already told you, I'm
not talking, okay?

I can't.

I haven't even told
my family, my friends,

my fiance.

And you just want me to tell the world.

Althea, what your boss did to you...

- Former boss.
- He did it to other women.

Who knows when he'll do it again?

For the last time,

leave me alone.

Dahliar Ahmusfad
acquired the hook swords

on the black market and has them

at the Musfad Palace.

Dubai?

It's highly unlikely
he knows its real value,

yet he refuses to give it up.

Mmm.

The weapon, along with
all his other treasures,

is under heavy security.

It would take a team of
highly trained mercenaries

to retrieve it.

Thank you.

May I see the rest?

The rest of what?

The sword...

its scabbard.

The sword has no scabbard.

I assure you, it does.

It must have been separated
at some point in time...

Lost.

I've read legends, pieces.

They said the sword's
power is diminished

without the scabbard, incomplete.

Do you know where it could be?

Any idea at all?

No.

Is that a promise?

Yes.

Good.

Because if you knew more,

well, then I just made
an enormous mistake.

Good-bye, professor.

I hope you enjoyed your last coffee.

- Hello?
- Faye, it's Nicky.

I'm at King Kwong on the factory floor.

What? Why?

I'm trying to find what made you sick.

PFCs. Do you know where they'd be?

I don't. Nicky...

they overwork and underpay us,

but everything I work with is clean.

There's got to be something
here I'm not seeing.

I just don't understand.

If I'm being exposed at work,

why aren't the others getting sick?

You sure it's just you?

Yeah, I'm sure.

Hello?

H... hello? Faye?

Union lit and union signatures.

What are you doing?

You lied.

You were sabotaging the union,

pretending to be an ally of Faye's,

intercepting the signatures,
dumping her petition.

You're trespassing.

Only Faye got sick.

She wasn't getting sick
from workplace chemicals.

You were trying to get
her out of the picture,

targeting her.

Abnormally high levels,

consistent with direct ingestion.

Were you poisoning her?

What'd you do, Brett?

Slip it in her tea
just a little at a time?

Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey!

You won't get away with this.

Hey!

Hey. I'm at the factory.

I've got a little situation.

I need you to clean it up.

Come on. Come on!

Come on! Aah.

Aah.

Patience, Nicky.

Slower.

Shifu, I can't.

Stop thinking about breaking the stone.

Stop thinking about results.

All your life, you've been trained

in obtaining results, in goals.

Americans want to go faster.

They want it now, the reward.

Hyah! Aah.

Hyah!

Aah.

Impatience is

desire for the future.

Impatience is fear of the present.

Let go of desire. Let go of fear.

Be in the present.

Be in the now.

Go slow.

Hyah! Hyah! Hyah...

Nicky, the police
are on their way right now.

No. Don't worry. He's still knocked out.

Please sit tight, or, better
yet, get out of there until...

I still don't have real proof

of what Slakter did to Faye.

I got to go, Evan.

What are you gonna do?

Hey. Thanks for coming. Good to see you.

Is it done?

Not exactly.

How the hell...?

Am I not dead?

I'll leave that for you to figure out.

Whoa. Slow down, Brett.
You're losing your cool.

Waiter, 11:00.

Why don't we talk face to face?

Don't be a coward.

I'm a coward?

Which one of us hired a hit
man to do his dirty work?

Which one of us tried
to silence a movement?

You were in such a hurry.
Unions are expensive.

You can't go public
with labor costs rising.

Faye was a squeaky wheel,

so you tried to kill her.

I wasn't trying to kill Faye.

I just needed to make her sick,

sick enough to fire her.

She was jeopardizing
everything I worked for.

You worked for?

So not Eddie?

Eddie knows nothing.

If it were up to him,
we'd still be in Alameda,

selling t-shirts out
of his parents' garage.

Where are you?

Right behind you.

Hey, Brett.

- I
- wasn't trying to kill Faye.

I just needed to make her sick,

sick enough to fire her.

She was jeopardizing
everything I worked for.

Eddie knows nothing.

Brometheus?

And in international news

out of the UAE, a gun fight erupted

at the Musfad Palace in Dubai.

A spokesperson for Dahliar Ahmusfad

said it was raided by a skilled team

who made off with several
priceless ancient artifacts.

In other news, China said
Wednesday it would free

the crew of a U.S. spy plane...

Thank you, professor.

Did you hear the news?

King Kwong's fast-tracking the union.

Oh, I guess Eddie Kwong
really does care.

Nicky, I just, um...

I wanted to say thanks.

Faye was in this morning.
She's finally healing.

She'll be back at work soon.

The company's covering
her medical bills.

That wouldn't have happened without you.

Ryan...

I came here to apologize to you.

I've been rushing you.

I can't expect to pick
up where we left off.

I was in a hurry to get back
to the way things were.

I skipped over getting
to know each other again.

I skipped over the part

where you became, like, a hero.

A hero. No.

What you do here every day
for all these people, yes.

A hero.

And I have a favor to ask.

Mama and Papa's catering event.

Let me cover you.

I'm sure you have something better to do

on a Friday night, like,
say, a do-over date.

And...

wear these.

Nicky.

Ohh.

From their newest launch.

These are limited edition!

P.R. swag from Eddie. Try 'em on.

No way. I'd never wear these.

They go for, like, a
thousand dollars online,

but only in mint condition. Wow.

Mint condition?

I found a suitable replacement
for the hinges.

You should get another
year out of the door.

I replaced the defroster coil
while I was in there, too.

It's expensive but necessary.

Thank you.

Like I said,

my number is on the card.

Thanks.

We had no choice.

We could try to swallow our pride

and let Althea and Dennis help.

You did not want that either, Jin.

What?

Why do you do this?

Nicky tries to reach out
to you, and you swat her away.

Our daughter.

She's trying to fix things,
and you refuse.

And this old machine breaks,

and you spare no effort, no expense

to repair it.

Our family's hurting. We're in debt.

And you do all this to...

to save a thing!

Well...

I love you.

_

It's not a thing.

Mama? Papa?

- Jerry's fixed.
- Yes.

Ryan has an event tonight.

I told him I'd fill in. Is that okay?

Yeah.

The cabbage in the sink needs washing.

_

_

_

Hey, Brad, I need a favor.

I need you to look
into something for me.

His name is Henry Yan.

Hey. Sorry I've been M.I.A.

I had to help my parents
at the restaurant.

It's fine. Ryan filled me in. You okay?

I'm good.

Looks like you had
some luck with the box.

Yeah. I'm gonna need
a little more than luck.

Turns out it's the turducken of puzzles.

I finally cracked this part.

Then it just opened up
to another puzzle inside,

and I'm stuck.

Patience, Henry.

I'm pretty sure I've already
tried every combination there is,

but, yeah, okay, go ahead.

Okay. Maybe not every combination.

A key.

I guess we need to figure
out what this opens.

Greg, move your head!
