I think I found something.

What?

Ok, Randall mentioned
the dig site was

in San Cristobal.

So I used that to find
the exact location.

Of course you did.

The orura silver mine.

It was permanently shut down
after the mine collapse.

The collapse killed
two people, Edward Blount,

a British explorer and collector
of international treasure.

He was last seen chasing
the other victim into the mine,

a Chinese man named
li Jiang.

- Keep talking.
- Turns out the mine collapse

wasn't an accident.

Someone brought the mine
down on purpose.

What am I looking at?

Li Jiang. Professor chau
wrote about the jiangs.

He had a theory that they were
one of the guardian families.

He wrote a letter to
an acquaintance saying

that people were
coming for him,

that they were after
something

that he'd stop at
nothing to protect.

So, Blount was after
the dagger, and...?

Li Jiang died to protect it.

And it worked, too.

The dagger remained buried,
undisturbed for over 150 years.

Until now.

Man singing in Spanish

Conversations in Spanish...

Ever feel like
Santa's elves,

wrapping presents
to be delivered

to the rich kids
of the world?

It's work.

Yeah, man. Busy work.

Boxing the occasional
candleholder or spittoon

to be displayed in
some house or museum.

Agh. I should've held out
for that position at

the cuello dig in Belize.

At least they're finding
things of real value there.

Yeah.

Done.

I need a drink.

Join you in a second.
Last piece.

Did you see that?

It's one of
the 8 weapons.

Li Jiang died to
protect the dagger.

You must stop her.

Stop zhilan.

Episode Title: "Rage"
Aired on: May 12, 2021

Nicky.

Oh, hey, mama.

Stop by to help?

Yeah, I had time
before lunch.

Hmm, you seem
happy today.

It's nice.

I've realized
you've been spending

a lot of time with
Ryan's friend.

Henry?

How well do you
know him?

Mama.

Look, you've been home
for a while.

I just want to know what
my daughter is up to...

Who she's spending
time with,

what her plans are.

Henry and I are...
Just friends.

And I have plans.
I told you already... lunch.

Bye, mama.

Bye.

Did Nicky leave, huh?

Yes. You just
missed her.

Good.

I want to talk
to you alone.

Wha...

I have a surprise
for you.

Lao Gong, you know how I
feel about surprises.

Yeah. Well, I'm taking
you on a date.

- A date.
- Mm-hmm.

- When?
- Saturday.

Well, the restaurant.

LAN can cover
the front room.

The restaurant
will be fine.

I'm only telling you
so you can get

that dress
out of storage.

You know
the one I mean.

I haven't worn
that dress in ages.

Ah, well, you will
look as gorgeous

- as the first day you wore it.
- Mm-hmm.

- Ha ha!
- Oh, yeah.

Dr. Chan...

Um, my hours got cut.

Did I do something
wrong or...?

It's not you, Ryan.

We're reducing
the clinic's hours

across the board

starting next week.

Why? Wait times
are growing.

We're underserving this
community enough as it is.

Our funding is a mix

of private donations
and city grants.

And the mayor clawed back
a huge chunk from us

in his budget.

The truth is,
at this point,

we'll be lucky to
survive another month.

We could close?
What about our patients?

Most of them have
nowhere else to go.

I've been fighting
this battle for years.

I'll do what I can,

but you should be
prepared for the worst.

Dennis, it's the exact
shade of burgundy

John legend wore at
the met gala.

How could I not
get you that suit?

No matter what I wear,
all eyes are gonna be on you.

All right.
See you soon. Mwah.

Althea shen.

Uh, who are you?

I'm an attorney with
cloudrush capital.

We represent your
former employer,

chase Matheson.

We're aware a reporter's
pursuing you,

whipping up some sort of smear
campaign against our client.

Well, I declined, so there's
nothing to talk about.

We know.

We appreciate your
good judgment up to now.

We appreciate it
so much, in fact,

we'd like
to codify it.

Codify it?

An NDA.

Just to be sure, you'd
be in good company.

That's how you
spike the story.

You intimidated and
harassed the other women

into shutting up.

Intimidated?
No.

We compensated them
for their discretion.

We're prepared to make
a very generous offer,

300,000.

All you need to do
is sign.

No, I don't need your money.

How about peace of mind?

It's not my peace of mind

you're out here
bargaining for.

If you decline,

we hope you understand
the consequences of speaking out,

the fallout, and
not just for you,

for the people
around you...

Your family, your
fiance, his family.

What are you saying?

As you know, the soongs
were significant angel investors

in chase's startup.

Just saying. He falls,
they fall, too.

Think about it.

Good day, Ms. Shen.

By necessity, the dagger
had to be snuck out

in an outbound ship...

A delivery to our city's
own Reed museum,

scheduled to arrive
tomorrow.

You don't
have it?

- How do we get it?
- I extract it.

You have people
inside the museum?

- When?
- In due time.

Why wait?

Why do you want this
so badly?

Henry says you work
to put artifacts

in their rightful place.

I don't know where this
dagger belongs,

but there's someone out
there who's looking for it,

someone who shouldn't have it,
who can't have it.

I need to keep it from her.

And that's all you're
prepared to tell me?

Yes. Why?

You're not giving it to us.

You never gave me
a reason to.

Wait.

That wasn't the deal.

You gave me a tip
about an object.

I utilize my resources
to find it,

and I will use my
resources to obtain it.

Without us,
you wouldn't even know

the weapon exists.

And without me, you'd be
where you are right now.

You've lost nothing.

This righteous mission,
repatriating stolen objects.

You're just a thief.

Some rich people
I steal from,

some I sell to.

I've looked into
these weapons.

There are
wealthy collectors

who will leap after
mystical apocrypha like this.

Just say the word "legend,"
and they'll drool.

So you'd just sell it

to some rich bastard?

I preserve and repatriate
real history.

Mystical gewgaws.

Selling those off to some
rich sucker will help fund

my more righteous operations
for a long time to come.

Hey, if you put the dagger
on the black market,

she'll get it.

Yes. Her.

Well, whoever she is,
if she'll pay top dollar,

I don't care.

Dennis.

Hey, babe.

What's all this?

Dinner.

Here. Sit.

You know that celebrity chef
from that show that we watch?

Uh, the one who's
always yelling?

No. The crying one.

I found out he does
prix fixe deliveries

of his tasting menu, and
I wanted to treat you.

Starting off
with a bang,

a wagyu amuse bouche.

Go on. Try it.

This new?

I upgraded your set.

The old silver didn't seem
quite up for this meal.

Oh, my god.

They said to pair
this dish

with a vintage belloq.

And how much did that cost?

I don't know.

I just grabbed it from
my parents' cellar.

What if this
all went away?

This, all of it... the food,
the clothes, the cars,

this apartment,
your apartment,

big tickets, big trips,
the big wedding.

Why would it?

It's, uh...

Hypothetical.

How do we know we'll last if
we've never really been tested?

Althea...

I don't need to be tested.

I know I'd love you
just as much

if you were head
to toe in burlap

and we were eating
out of a dumpster

instead of eating this.

Even if you had
to wear burlap?

Of course.

We'd match.

Course 2...
Saffron Risotto.

Spicy pickles?

Ok. What do you
need from me?

The takeout was my mom's idea
for your help with everything.

I just came by
to drop it off.

No favors to ask, I promise.

Ooh, thank her for me.

I will.

So...

What's the matter?

What?! Nothing. See?
All smiles. Heh.

You have 6 smiles,
Nicky shen,

and that's your
phoniest one.

Yeah. I hate that you
know me so well.

Mm-hmm.

It's nothing. I just...

I hit a dead end
with the zhilan case,

and... I don't really know
what to do.

Heads up. Garrick is
on the hunt right n...

Oh, Nicky. Sorry.

Hey.

She dropped off food.

- Spicy pickles.
- Spicy pickles.

He never shuts up
about them. Heh.

So I just came to warn
you that garrick

is looking for someone
to work the Mitchell case.

It's gonna take all day and all
night for at least the next week,

so I need you to
dodge that bullet.

Sure. The Mitchell
case is a dog.

Great. So no conflict for
the Reed gala tomorrow.

Hmm, maybe I should
volunteer for that case after all.

Hmm, not funny.

Reed... uh, like,
Reed museum?

Yup. Ahem. Every year,
the Reed hosts

a terrible event stuffed
with terrible people.

Hmm, terrible people,
like his boss,

terrible people
like the mayor.

And I have to press
the flesh.

Well,
my break is over.

Um... nicky,
great seeing you.

You, too.

So, uh, zhilan. You want
to talk about it?

Actually,
I think I'm good.

Ok.

Ok. Bye.

Hey.

What's that smile about?

We're getting that dagger.

Ok. How?

We're gonna break
into the museum.

You got a tux?

What? You went
all quiet on me.

I'm sorry, Nicky.

It's just you pitched
pulling a heist on a museum,

so I'm gonna need a second.

Well, I've thought about it.
We don't have a choice.

Randall's gonna steal
the dagger anyway.

As soon as he puts
it up for sale,

it'll cross
zhilan's radar.

Then what?
She'll probably skip the paying part

and murder your friend
in the process.

He's not my friend right
now, but point taken.

Ok, we have to get it
before he does.

If Randall can do it,
why can't we?

He's a pro,
and he has a team.

He's done this before.

And I'm pretty sure
the event is sold out.

The soongs are
on the board.

I'm sure althea
can hook us up.

Ok. We get in the door.
What's our play?

I'm still figuring that out.

Thought I'd scope out
the museum today,

take advantage of your
student discount.

Ok, Nicky, um,
to be continued.

I have a class
to teach.

Oh. Yeah.

Take a breath.
Wait for me.

We'll make a plan
together, ok?

Ok. Yeah.

Thanks.

I'll text soon.

I know you're
desperate for a fix,

but even for a great
cause like the clinic,

you got to schmooze
these people, work them.

No one I know just
writes blank checks.

Not one of your venture
capitalist buddies?

Your old boss,
chase Matheson...

No.

Like I said,
not how this works.

It's Nicky.

Hey. I have a huge
favor to ask.

A huge favor?
Listening.

Can you get me two
tickets to the Reed gala?

I know Dennis' family is
a big donor.

Uh, Nicky, the soongs
already gave up their comps,

but is this, like,
a date thing with Henry?

Sure. Will that
help my odds?

- Ehh.
- I have to go, Althea.

Can you please pull some
strings and get two extras?

I'll owe you big-time.

- I'll try my best.
- Thank you.

♪ Swagger with a stroll

♪ You're talkin' like a winner

♪ But lookin' like
a sinner... ♪

Sorry I didn't wait, but
I think I've got a plan.

- Ok.
- I saw them setting up.

This is where
the gala will be...

The main gallery.

A few side areas
will be open,

but most of the museum
will be shut down.

This doorway leads
to the basement.

I know from public record,

that's where administration
and restoration happens.

Now, this storage room right
here connects to the loading dock.

- Got to be where the dagger is.
- Nicky.

If we can break into the
basement without being spotted

or tripping the alarm
system, we...

- Nicky.
- What?

We can't do this,
not like this.

It's right here in these sketches...
cameras all over the place.

The only possible way in is
right here on the gallery floor,

the heart of the party.

Even then, the doors are locked,
connected to the alarm systems.

I know.
That's why I need your help.

Me? A lock pick isn't gonna
cut it with these doors.

This plan depends on
a ton of luck.

We've got nobody to
distract security,

to run cover if things
go sideways.

What are you saying?
You're out?

I know you're disappointed
we lost the dagger,

but like this?

Right now, yeah.

Ok.

Where are you going?

Home.

You're right.

I still have a lot
of work to do,

but I have to do this.

And if you can't help me,
I'll do it alone.

Ohh. Come on. So close.

Close to what?

Doing what you asked...

Stopping zhilan.

Is that what really
drives you, hmm,

my instructions?

She murdered you
in front of me.

She burned down
the monastery.

Who cares what drives me
as long as I stop her?

If anger drives you,

if what you feel is rage,
you can only fail.

I have told you, Nicky,

about the difference
between justice and revenge.

Yes, Shifu.

But knowing and doing
are not the same thing.

You taught me that, too.

I hate her.

We must always question
the source of our behavior.

Hmm?

Right now
you are frustrated,

pushing people away.

You have reached
an impasse,

and you focus on
the obstacles

instead of being open
to a new way.

Come in.

Hey.

We need to talk.

About what?

Henry, what are
you doing here?

- He told us.
- About your crazy plan.

I'm sorry, Nicky.
I had to.

Ok. Is this some
kind of intervention?

I know it's crazy.
I... I know it's risky.

I know my plan needs work,
but I need to get this dagger.

And you can't stop me.

We know that, Nicky.

That's why
we're going to help.

What?

I've got some skills.
Ryan's got some ideas.

It's still crazy,
but together,

we think we can make
this work.

No. I... I can't put
you guys in danger.

Oh. We won't be,
promise.

You'll still be the one
carrying all the risk.

We'll just be there
assisting from the sidelines,

keeping you from, you know,
getting arrested.

I just knew we needed help,
help doing this the right way.

Well, I guess
I can admit it now.

I had no idea how to
pull this off alone.

Ok. Should we get started,

make this an actual
workable heist?

Ok, the heels were
a mistake.

Heels are never
a mistake.

Tippy-toe.
You've got this.

As long as we don't
have to run in these.

For what it's worth, I
think those shoes are killer.

So is the bow tie.

Keep an eye out
for the caviar blinis.

They are out
of this world.

How many
unhoused people did we

have to step over
to get in here?

Oh, and they're serving
caviar blinis!

Oh, welcome to the 1%.

Althea tells me you're
looking for funding.

This is the perfect
lake to fish in.

Come on.
I'll introduce you.

Um, yeah. I'll
catch up in a sec.

I just need a drink
to loosen up. Heh.

Ok. Let's run through it
one more time.

- What, again?
- Yes.

Ok, Nicky, but we've got this.

I bounce
over to the server room,

use this handy-dandy device
to get into the mainframe.

Mm-hmm. Giving
me an all-access pass

to the museum's
security system.

I can disarm any door and
see in every corner of this joint.

Before the mayor says his
big speech, as all eyes are on him?

We get into the basement.

Ok, team, let's go.

Such a mistake.

Nicky?

Be right back.

What are you...

Althea scored
last-minute tickets.

I couldn't say no
to an open bar.

You don't drink.

Yeah.

But the food! Mmm.
Caviar blinis, my favorite.

Are they?

I haven't seen you in
a tux since senior prom.

I mean, this is
an improvement.

God. The plaid.

Hey, I tried to warn you
about that one.

Well, I just, uh,

I can't get over it.

This is the last place
on earth

I'd expect
to bump into you.

Ta-da.

Uh, I think your date
is looking for you.

Oh. Yeah.
Oh, yours, too.

Yeah. Uh, I guess
I'll, um,

see you
around the party.

Yes, definitely.

Sorry.

Did you tell him
what's up?

Of course not. Anyhow,
we knew that was coming.

- Moving on.
- Yeah.

Nicky?
Baba? Mama?

What are you
doing here?

I was just about to ask
you the same thing.

Dennis' parents, they
offered me their spare tickets.

- Oh.
-Wow!

First I've
heard of it.

Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Shen.

Hello, Henry.

Mama, baba,
there's a new exhibition

of modern Chinese art.

You should go check it out.

Why don't we
all go?

- Oh!
- Lead the way, Ryan.

Yeah, lead the way.
Lead the way, Ryan.

Oh, god.
What?

Maybe your parents make
me a little nervous.

You...

Nervous?

I want them to like me.

The mayor's due
in 15 minutes.

We really need
to get moving.

Henry. So, um,

Nicky tells us you're
a graduate student.

Yes. Chinese history.

Oh.

Mostly focused on folklore,
myths and legends.

So what's your plan
after you graduate?

I, uh, I'd like to teach.

Oh, well, I heard
teaching in the humanities,

very difficult
nowadays.

Well, you know,
these days...

I have a fabulous idea,
family photo.

We're never gonna
look this good.

Um, the wedding?
Baba, it can wait.

Henry, will you do
the honors? Take a picture?

- Of course.
- Ok.

Where'd I
put my phone?

- Oh, baba.
- Ok, sure.

- Hi.
- Oh!

Nicky!

I'm sorry, sorry. It's the heels.
I'm such a klutz.

Yeah. No worries.

Yes, worries.
You need soda water pronto.

Oh, I'll get it.

Oh. Key is to blot.

I'll go, too.
Moral support.

Oh. Uh, and I...
Also will go,

seeing as I am the one
with the stain. Ok, bye.

I'm charging you
for my deposit.

Careful.

Ah, I hated that.
How did I do?

Eh, 6 out of 10?

Could be looser.
Refill time?

- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.

And we're in.
Just like that?

Just like...

What?

The firewall,
it's already down.

Meaning?
Routine maintenance.

The I.T. Guy's probably
playing fortnite.

I bet it's nothing.

Ok, Nicky,
something's going on.

What do you mean?

Althea loves to work
a crowd,

and she's had her head stuck
in her phone all night.

Ryan's here for some reason, and he
hates these things even more than you do.

I told you,
the soongs have...

Come on, Nicky. I know when
the shen kids are up to something

because I used to be
up to something with you.

And I know when you're lying
'cause I just know.

Ok, what do you
want, Evan?

How about the truth?

Since you've been back,

I've stuck my neck out for you,
I've helped you.

And it's been my pleasure,
but I think I have a right

not to be lied to.

Just tell me,
what are you doing here?

I'm just here
for the party.

I noticed you were
asking Henry

a lot of questions.

I'm just curious about
the boy who's been eating up

so much of
our daughter's time.

Mama, he's young.

There are worse jobs out
there than grad student.

It's not about his
education or his career path.

The boy has a past.

People around town
talk.

I've heard things
about his family,

his troubled youth.

But whatever happened
in the past,

he's pulled himself up
by his bootstraps.

He's going to school,
he's working.

Does that remind you
of anyone, hmm?

No. Ha ha!
He's nothing like you.

Oh, so you don't remember
that handsome young waiter

you first saw in the alley
smoking a cigarette on his break?

I didn't have such
a bright future

until I met you.

And you reshaped me
to the best version of myself.

Good things happen.

People can change.

You changed me.

Welcome to
the Reed museum.

The mayor's
security detail.

That's not good.

Where's Ryan?

Mayor, yeah, uh,
I just had one quick question.

We got this.

Yeah, I just want to know
why're you're cutting vital services

while your constituents
are hurting.

Some face time with
you, huh? Is that it...

Keep it down.
Come on.

Oh, what? You need some
accountability from you?

Yeah, you need an election year
to happen for that to happen?

Is that it? Is that it?

That's enough.

Thank you, Althea.

How do we find it?

Well, it just got in
from Bolivia yesterday.

So it shouldn't
be unsealed...

Yet.

I think this is it.

- Henry.
- It's beautiful.

It sure is.
Now hand it over.

You're the ones who took
down the other firewall.

Who do you work for, Randall?

You know, if you shoot,
you'll attract security,

and then no one
gets the dagger.

- Nicky!
- Got it.

We got to go.

♪ We live together...

Express my...

Oh, hey, meet Jane.

Jane, this is
my fiancee althea.

Hi.

Anyway, I was so hoping
to see your parents tonight

to thank them
in person.

Please, please send them
my deepest regards...

- Of course.
- For everything.

- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.

What was that about?

Her daughter was treated at the
new oncology ward at St. Gregory.

She just entered
full remission.

That's amazing.

What does that have
to do with you?

My parents paid
for the ward.

Huh. Uh, I knew
about the museums

and the university
endowments.

I didn't know about,
like, hospitals.

Yeah. They give to
lots of places,

Fulton hospital, the
Krkwood Homeless Shelter,

a bunch of others.

They always say, as long
as we can live well,

we have a duty
to give back.

Honey, you ok?

Yeah. Just a little,
uh, thirsty. Ahem.

Do you mind getting me
another glass of champagne?

- Hang on, hang on, Henry.
- What?

Probably shouldn't go
out there looking like

we were just fighting
mercenaries in the basement.

Ok. How about me?
Am I ok?

You're perfect.

Ms. Shen.

I'll sign the NDA.

I'll keep chase
a secret.

That's a very wise decision.

Please shut up.

Not because it's
the right thing to do,

but because you're
gonna do the right thing.

What's your ask?

Starting
with the $300,000.

Make the check payable to the
Chinese community center medical clinic.

While you're at it,
make it half a million.

I'm not certain...

I'm not negotiating.

Once I've signed,

never contact me
again.

Henry went to get the car.

What happened?

He said you ran into trouble?

I don't know who,
but whoever they are,

they want the dagger.
There could be more.

Ok, look, I need
to get out of here.

Can you keep an eye
on mama and baba?

- Of course.
- Yeah.

Nicky, come meet
this fascinating lady...

Charlotte Yang.

She's a curator from
the Beijing national museum.

My daughter spent quite
a bit of time in China, too.

Did she, now?

On top of Harvard?

What an accomplished
family you have.

I was just telling
your father that

the Chinese antiquities in
this museum are exquisite.

I had to come see
for myself.

Any in particular
catch your eye?

As a matter of fact,
my team and I were notified

of a certain
rare artifact here,

recently discovered,
of all places,

in Bolivia.

Oh! Sounds like a
real piece of history. Yeah.

Yes.

An ancient dagger.

Deadly but small enough
to fit in a pocket.

Well, it's a good thing

a representative from the
Beijing national museum is here.

So many of China's antiquities
fall into the wrong hands.

Well, we definitely
wouldn't want that.

Oh, is that your
wife, Jin?

Yes, Mei-li.

What can I say?
I'm a lucky guy. Ha ha.

Your mother is beautiful.

Oh, but she looks
awfully lonely over there.

Why don't you
go talk to her?

I'd love to hear more
about Nicky's time in China.

Well, it was a pleasure
meeting you, Charlotte.

Now, if you are staying
around town for a while,

come to our restaurant
in Chinatown...

Harmony dumplings.

I'll keep
that in mind.

- Good.
- Thank you.

You know,

I had a father
once, too.

Sadly, he was taken
from me, murdered.

Leave my family alone.

Mm. And what about your
adorable partner in crime?

You make quite a team.

Together, you wiped out
my men in seconds.

Good thing
I don't need men.

Harmony dumplings,
was it?

I thought you were dead.

You got a second chance.
You should take it.

Stop fighting
a dead shifu's battles.

I knew pei-ling better
than you, Nicky.

She wasn't worth it.

- Nicky?
- It's gone.

The dagger,
she took it.

She's gonna get away
with it, all of it.

Hey, Nicky,
be smart about this.

- No.
- Let it go.

I won't. I can't.

She will kill you.

Ever since we found out
about the dagger,

you've been driven
by something,

and I don't think
it's justice.

Get my family
out of here.

Give it back.

You'll have to fight
me for it... Again.

Hyah!

It's impressive that
you survived

our first encounter.

Fool me once.

You learned
some new tricks.

You killed my shifu,
your sister.

Anger has blinded
you, child.

You know nothing about her.

You never did.

Pei-ling
was no shifu.

She was a thief
and a murderer.

Our family were
the guardians of that sword.

Pei-ling stole it.

A lie.

Pei-ling murdered
our father.

Your shifu ran to
that monastery to hide

from her crimes,

to hide from justice.

Go back to Harvard,
little monk.

You're not
cut out for this.
