Original subtitles

Have nothing to discuss with you.

Not even The Forge?

I assume that's why you came here,

to protect it from people like me.

Good guess.

You can feel it, can't you,

the energy of the 8 weapons.

Hmm.

Credit to the original architects,

building a monastery on top of The Forge, clever.

The night I raided this place, I had no idea that I was so close

to a source of Biange.

_

Well, that's as close as you'll ever get.

- Oh, is that so? - Yes.

You're outnumbered, Zhilan.

- These women were ready for you. - Hmm.

Oh, I'm not here for them.

I'm here for you to enter The Forge.

"Warrior and guardian must cross together"...

Words from the scroll.

Turns out, you're my key inside.

- Why would I help you? - Because you're weak.

Your attachments make you weak.

They make you vulnerable, lucky for me.

I warned you, you're not cut out for this.

It looks like a very special event

at 219 Astor Street, a wedding?

How did you get these?

My men are parked outside your family's home,

and... rest assured...

they're armed with much worse than spears and swords.

Hmm. Some salmons and corals slipped through.

Uh, yeah. This one's a no.

This one, too. This one's borderline.

Mm, better safe than sorry.

Uh, great. Thank you.

Catering, come on in. Go straight back.

- Come on. Come on. Come on. - Yes, sir.

Catering, in the kitchen, please.

Baba, the silk cushions for the tea ceremony.

- What? - Well, Nicky was storing them

in your bedroom closet.

Look. I raced out of there.

Mama was singing so out of tune.

Ha ha ha.

It's still early, and I haven't warmed up.

Ma, you weren't practicing for the reception, were you?

Althea said no karaoke tonight.

We'll see what she says after the baijiu comes out.

- Oh! You... - Shh shh shh shh shh shh.

Da Hong Pao, Lungching... Where's the Tieguanyin?

What do you mean, "Where's the Tieguanyin?"

Uh... oh, you look great.

Thank you, but please don't tell me

we're missing Dennis's Nai Nai's favorite tea.

His aunt hand-carried that all the way from Hong Kong.

Okay. Um...

Uh, Po Po's been slamming tea all morning.

- I didn't think it was that tea. - Oh, God.

Oh, no. No. Hey, don't freak out. I got this.

Nicky's playbook. In case of emergency, appendix 6C.

Extra tea is in the cabinet above the fridge.

Oh...

Nicky Shen saves the day.

Huh.

A puzzle. Charming.

16 panels... 8 guardians, 8 warriors.

I don't know what you want me to do.

I have no idea how to open this.

It takes two.

All you have to do is start.

It's not science, Harvard.

It's instinct, and you know that,

so stop stalling unless you want to add

a fresh shade of red to your sister's dress.

Now you.

"Only warrior and guardian may cross."

Call off your men.

I did what you asked. I opened the door.

Come.

The Forge... where the weapons were made,

where the sorcerers enchanted them 1,500 years ago.

What?

I don't feel anything.

Do you?

No.

Huh. It's gone. The energy is gone.

- Synced & corrected by MementMori - -- www.addic7ed.com --

The energy is missing.

Ah.

Did you have something to do with this?

How could I? I just found out this place exists.

A bed?

Of course. A sorcerer lived here, protecting The Forge.

A sorcerer like the original monk

who enhanced the 8 weapons?

I read about that in ancient texts.

They had students, disciples.

They lived monastic lives,

learning how to draw Biange energy from the earth,

how to infuse it into vessels like The Forge

and from The Forge into the weapons.

I assumed that they died out,

but, apparently, the line lived on,

and one of them was living here underground...

Ziqi, the last of her kind.

Only she would have the skill

to take the energy from The Forge to hold it.

What do you know?

I saw her one night

two years ago in the courtyard.

I thought I was imagining things, but she...

I saw a green glow.

Huh.

Biange energy.

Ha ha!

Pei-Ling.

My sister paid me a visit two years ago.

She knew I had designs on the sword, on Biange.

When she returned here, she must have raised the alarm.

That's why Ziqi packed up The Forge. That's why she fled.

How? One woman, all that energy.

That's part of the sorcerer's art.

Only they have the focus and training.

She has practiced her whole life

cultivating this rare ability to hold a universe

of Biange energy inside of herself.

She would need to find a place to hide,

like this chamber, a place that was peaceful,

undisturbed, silent.

I need to find Pei-Ling's little stowaway.

One of your sisters must know more.

Only one way to find out.

Okay. If Ziqi needed a quiet place,

a sanctuary to keep the energy safe,

I might know where she went. Pei-Ling used to tell me of a place,

the quietest, most tranquil place she knew...

the ruins of an ancient temple in Hengduan Mountains.

That sounds like a guess at best.

She mentioned the eastern side

of the range near a quarry.

- Hardly narrows it down. - I can find it. I just...

I need your phone.

Ah. Heh heh heh.

Oh, they, um...

Xie xie.

Baba, Mama.

- Mm. - Mm.

Ha ha ha!

Thank you.

Hello?

Ryan, it's Nicky.

What's this number? Are you okay?

I'm fine. I just... I need Althea's help.

- It's a computer thing. - Uh, it's Saturday.

Althea's tea ceremony is happening right now.

Ryan, please.

I need her help, like, hella bad.

Just have her sneak away and call me back on this number, okay?

Althea...

Hey, who was it?

- Uh, Nicky. - Right.

Althea told me... food poisoning.

Sucks she's missing the wedding.

Yeah. Yeah. She's desperate to talk to Althea,

but I have no idea how to pull her away from that.

Look. I owe Nicky big time.

If she really needs to talk to Althea,

- if it's an emergency... - It is.

Okay. I got this.

Pissing off my mom, kind of my specialty.

Are you sure?

- Oh! - Oh, my goodness! I'm so sorry!

I'm so sorry. Oh, does anybody have a towel?

- It was an accident. I'm so, so sorry. - Oh, Chloe!

Oh, my goodness.

- Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry. - Don't worry.

Hey, Nicky called. She needs your help.

She's in trouble.

That was on purpose? Are you crazy?

Po Po is gonna think our marriage is cursed.

Relax. There's no broken glass.

It's not tea-related, just flowers.

Oh, like that distinction means anything to Po Po.

You really think this is urgent?

I mean, by the way that Nicky was talking, yeah.

Also, I think she sent me a secret message.

She said, "Hella bad."

When we were kids, when bullies were after me

and I really needed Nicky to stand up to them,

I would say things were hella serious or... hella bad.

Okay, but, Ryan, that's a story

about you being in trouble, not Nicky.

Mm.

Wait. You think she's warning us?

That's her.

If your sister fails,

she dies along with the rest of your family.

- Althea? - Nicky.

Hey, I need your help finding someone...

a woman named Ziqi.

She's living in the eastern Hengduan Mountains

near a quarry at some kind of temple or ruin.

Sounds like you'd have better luck with a bloodhound.

Bloodhounds can't hack satellites.

Neither can I.

What about a weather satellite,

anything with an overhead view?

I can't get you aerials, but...

Gigaping.

Oh, it's a texting app.

It's huge overseas, but it has a ton of vulnerabilities.

Okay. I can hack into their server, comb their geotags.

Geotags?

Location info off photos... tourist shots,

selfies, anything taken around those mountains.

Yeah. Do that.

Okay. There are a ton of user photos...

nature shots, people hiking.

Not sure how to narrow this down.

Uh, try flowers.

- Flowers? - What?

Biange blooms.

Until I saw these downstairs, I thought they were a myth.

Wherever Biange energy is concentrated,

these flowers blossom.

They died when Ziqi left with the energy,

but if she still has it,

they may be growing where she is.

Nicky, can you be a little more specific?

- They... - Long, bright, purple needles

with inset fuchsia buds.

- Who is that? - No one.

Can you look for the flowers?

I'll add flowers to the tag, but...

Huh.

There's some sort of mystery bloom in a remote part of the mountain,

"Botanical curiosity that emerged a couple of years ago."

- Sending you a photo and coordinates. - Perfect.

_

- Did you get it? - Yeah. Got it.

Time to say good-bye.

Okay. Thank you, Althea. Got to go.

Out of the car. Let's see your hands.

On the ground.

All clear, sir.

- Are you sure? - Mm-hmm.

Okey dokey.

Do you think she understood our code?

"Okey dokey"?

I don't know. I hope so.

What are you guys doing up here?

Did you see what's happening?

- Yeah. Chloe said she's really sorry. - No, no, no.

Not that. There are cops outside.

They're making some kind of arrest.

_

What's going on here?

You're not going anywhere.

Oh...

I told you, you try to stop me,

your family dies.

Actually, I know my family's safe. Sorry.

Impossible. I heard every word.

"Okey dokey"... Shen family code

for "the bullies are gone."

Guess my attachments are also my strength.

You have no leverage. It's over.

Have you learned nothing from our encounters, little monk?

I don't need leverage to kick your ass.

_

You brought backup.

No. Whoever's out there, they're not my men.

Seems I've been followed.

By who?

Russell Tan.

_

- Biyu. - Henry, go.

The sisters, help them.

I'm not letting you take the weapons.

Let's make this quick.

What are they waiting for?

- Uh! - Uh!

- Nicky? - I'm okay.

Tan's men got the weapons.

Where do you think he's taking them?

If I had to guess, Ziqi.

Zhilan's gone. I saw her drive off.

Tan, Zhilan... doesn't matter who gets to Ziqi first.

- We have to stop them. - But how? They've got a head start,

- and we don't even have a car. - We have a truck.

Got service,

like, 50 texts from my family.

Nicky, what's going on?

Are you guys safe?

Yeah. Evan had those guys arrested.

Look. Okay. I might lose you guys in a second,

so I need you to promise me something.

Well, what?

Promise me not to worry.

Promise me you'll have an amazing day,

a day that is everything you planned for.

Althea, you and Dennis deserve it.

You all deserve it.

- Nicky... - Promise.

We promise.

Okay. Um, love you g...

Oh.

Okay. Okay.

Okay.

You heard your sister.

Po Po's gonna wonder where we are.

- Come on. Let's go. Come on. - Yeah.

She's spending a lot of time with Dennis.

She's definitely trying to steal my husband.

Oh, yeah.

It's time. Let's go.

What is happening?

The sorcerer.

I trust you've been comfortable in our care.

I have nothing to say to you.

- Nothing has changed. - You're mistaken, Ziqi.

Much has changed.

You can feel it, can't you?

I have told you,

the weapons...

the energy within,

they are not meant for you.

You are not worthy of that p...

You will transfer the energy to the weapons.

You will initiate Biange for me.

The energy wants to come out.

It wants to be free,

and these weapons want to be charged again.

When I found you here months ago,

I told you, there would be an easy way and a hard way.

You can make this stop right now.

Release the energy.

Aah!

Uh!

- What is it? - I can feel it... Biange.

If you give up freely, you might even survive.

Biange is coming one way or another.

No.

Very well.

If you won't give it up, I'll have to take it.

Ziqi!

Huh! Agh...

No!

- No! - Ziqi, no.

- Uh! Huh! - Ah!

- The warrior. - We need to get you help.

You are here. I can let go now.

What? No.

Huh! Uh!

Huh! Uh!

Huh! Uh!

Aah! Ah!

Aah! Uh! Uh!

- Aah! Uh! - Uh!

Hello?

Hey, Nicky, I missed you last night.

Evan?

Just reminding you, I promised D.A. Hughes

she'd finally meet my rock-star girlfriend.

Fair warning, she's probably gonna grill you

about how you pulled off the win on that Klymer case.

Good morning.

Hey, some eggs in the pan, still warm.

Papa, your eye.

Oh, this? It's nothing. Fell off a ladder.

Nicky, I was on the phone with Mrs. Chang.

Her daughter Eunice just got promoted at her law firm.

She said she'd have coffee with you,

give you a few pointers.

If you don't take care of your career, who will?

Mama, what day is it?

When did I get back from the monastery?

Monastery? Ha! What monastery?

Hey... stay with me.

Kerwin.

Yeah.

How are you here? How is this possible?

- What does it matter? - No.

Just stay with me. Hey.

No. No. I have someplace to be.

Look. Whatever you're chasing,

it's not more important than this...

_

_

- No. I have to go. - Don't go.

- I have to go! - Don't go.

I have to go!

Well, look who finally decided to show.

Ach, traffic will be bad at the Golden Gate.

- I need to get going. - Golden Gate?

The clinic's, like, 5 blocks away.

Uh, you know I stopped working at the clinic.

What? Why?

Uh, because I'm drowning in medical-school debt.

Besides, not like I was making a difference there, anyway.

Whatever. I'm making bank at the medspa.

Later, sis.

I didn't tell you this, Diana?

The Galapagos.

Ha ha ha!

I set him straight...

The Maldives, not subject to negotiation.

Ha ha ha!

Nicky, what are you doing here?

Could you just give us a sec?

- Nicky, what are you... - I need your help.

Something happened in China, something big.

Biange got loose. It zapped out.

I felt it hit me, and now I need to find it

before Zhilan or Russell Tan get their hands on it,

but I'm stuck in this bizarre nightmare

where I never ran away to the monastery,

and I don't know what to do, and I could really use your help.

Oh, you have no idea what I'm talking about.

Sorry, sis.

I should really get back to Diana.

Call me later, though, okay?

I'm worried about you.

- Henry. - Hey.

Sorry. Do I know you?

No. Guess you don't.

Okay. I'm really starting to hate whatever this place is.

Pei-Ling.

You led me to the place where I killed you.

Why?

Or are you stalling,

slowing me down, hmm,

stopping me from claiming what is mine...

the rest of Biange?

No. I am trying to reach you.

I do not blame you for anything.

You were so young,

what you endured, what you saw.

You never knew our mother.

She never had a chance to teach you the...

Uh!

Where is she?

Where is Nicky?

She has the rest of it, the energy,

and I will take it.

I know deep down,

as hard as you fight for it, this is not about power.

It's about pain.

You think that power is the only thing that can fill you,

the only way to escape your pain,

but, sister, no one should have all that power.

- There are other ways. - Ha ha ha!

Oh, let me guess.

Prayer, meditation, good works.

Love. You felt love.

- The Tan boys. - Uh!

Enough!

It's never too late to change.

Even now, you still have a choice.

I've made my choice.

Pei-Ling, what are you doing here?

I led you here, Nicky.

I needed you to see this place as it was.

Ziqi?

Guangli, the first sorcerer.

I need your help. Biange, it's happening.

I know, my child.

I need to know how to destroy the energy,

to end Biange once and for all.

Are you certain?

Certain of what?

Certain that is what you truly want.

Biange is inside you, both of you.

Then what is this dream?

What you saw was a life without Biange.

Biange is neither good nor evil.

It can lead to great destruction,

but also change.

It is the spark of transformation.

The world needs Biange.

You saw pieces of your family,

what their lives would be without that spark.

Being a warrior is not about wielding a weapon.

It is about that desire for change.

It is what inspired you to jump into my truck years ago.

You knew I was a warrior all that time?

Yes.

I knew you were not ready,

that you had to make peace with your family,

but... I regret I waited to tell you more.

I thought...

I thought we would have more time.

Zheng Fu...

It is really you?

How?

I once told you,

there are mysteries in the world, magic.

Biange makes many things possible.

The world needs that energy.

I don't understand.

Destroying Biange is the only way to save my family,

to end this cycle, all the struggle, the violence.

Look beyond the duality of good and evil, Nicky.

Do not fear it. Do not run from it.

But if it's wrong to wield all of Biange,

wrong to destroy it, if the world needs it...

then Biange is out now in me, in Zhilan...

Zheng Fu, what do I do?

What I always taught you.

You make your own path, hmm...

Your own choice.

Hello, little monk.

- Yaah! - Yaah!

The power has chosen us both...

warrior and guardian.

- You're no guardian. - Biange disagrees. Yah!

Hiyah! Hah!

Huh! Yah! Ah!

- Nngh! - Yah! Huh!

- Uh! - Uh! Hah!

- Ah! Huh! - Uh!

Uh! Huh!

Uh! Huh...

Oh, come on, Harvard.

You have an ancient power flowing through you.

Use it.

You surprise me.

Thought I'd beat the fight out of you by now,

but there's one thing standing between me

and what I came for... your life.

Huh!

Oh, heh.

Oh, the energy has left the weapons.

We're the vessels now.

Huh!

Zheng Fu, what do I do? If the world needs it, then...

Make your own path.

Uh! Ah!

I don't want to wield Biange.

I don't want to destroy it, either.

It was taken from the earth,

and I'm going to send it back.

No one should have all that power.

Biange doesn't belong to us.

It belongs to me.

- Yah! - Uh!

Uh! Ugh!

Huh! Yah! Uh! Hah! Hah!

Uh! Uh...

What are you doing?

I'm doing the one thing you can't...

letting it go.

Huh...

Uh! Oh!

- Yah! - Uh! Uhh!

It's gone...

All of it.

It's not gone.

It's back out in the world where it belongs.

Do it.

I have nothing left.

Do it.

I'm not you.

- My brave girl. - Papa.

I'm so glad you're okay.

Nicky?

Mama?

- Mama. - Nicky.

Is it over?

We're safe.

Zhilan's not a threat, but Biange, our birthright,

I don't think that'll ever be over.

It's who we are.

- How are we on time? - Checked the traffic.

Roads are wide open. Galapagos is a go.

Ee!

- Who's that? - It's Nicky. She's home.

I mean, she's feeling better.

Okay. I'm nervous about missing our flight,

but is there a chance we can swing by

- just for a quick hi/bye? - Of course.

Hey, let be grab Nicky a slice of cake.

Now that she's keeping food down again,

she can at least get a little taste of the wedding.

Aww.

You're already the best husband.

Dennis, wait.

Nicky didn't have food poisoning.

She was in China.

Heh. What?

There's something you need to know about my sister.

- Hey. - Hey.

Mm...

I heard the wedding was a smash.

Oh, see for yourself.

Mm.

- Yep. She's breathtaking. - Yeah.

Binder was clutch, by the way.

Mm-hmm. You're welcome.

How was riding solo?

Not bad and not that solo.

Hooked up with one of Dennis's groomsmen.

Oh, interesting.

Ah, so you took down Zhilan.

Yep, and you were right.

It wasn't physics. I flew again,

- but, like, way higher this time. - Whoa.

See, you you're just bragging, and Biange?

Turns out, it isn't good or evil.

Biange is transformation, and the world needs it.

When I was fighting Zhilan,

I realized I didn't have to destroy it.

I could use it without holding on to it.

I could let it go,

so I sent it out into the world.

What does that mean?

It's not in one place anymore,

but it's also not gone.

Well, sis, see any more flying in your future?

I don't think so.

I kind of had to give up the juice...

Mm.

- But... - What?

Since it happened, something in me feels...

different.

Oh. What does that mean...

super strength, telekinesis, X-ray vision?

Stay tuned.

Got your note.

Took some work getting away from Hughes.

Come with me.

Evan, what is this about?

Look. I don't want to play games.

The man I've been looking into... Russell Tan,

the one who's been buying up half the vacant properties

in San Francisco for some reason...

few days ago, he nearly killed my best friend in China.

From what I've dug up,

he's not just buying up properties.

He's buying up people... politicians, authorities, our boss.

I don't know what he has planned in this city,

but I can tell it's something big,

and I think you know more,

so you're gonna tell me everything you know

about Russell Tan now.

I tried to warn you about Zhilan.

Neither of you realized that all this

was just one part of a much bigger puzzle.

She may be finished, but I've just started.

Nicky Shen doesn't know it yet.

There's a girl out there, a young woman, her cousin.

She is the daughter of a warrior and a guardian.

I've kept tabs on her over the years,

waiting, watching for the right moment.

Now that the weapons are gone and Biange is free,

without a home, it is time.

She is the key to everything.

- How's your family? - Good.

Don't think they really understand what happened in China,

but they said they're proud of me.

How's your arm?

Better. Our scars match now,

so what now?

Well, my sister at the monastery are safe.

Pei-Ling's killer's in jail.

The weapons are buried or destroyed,

and Biange is back in the world.

I know the fight's not over, buy beyond that,

no idea what's next.

Nicky Shen without a plan?

Excuse me. Who says I don't have a plan?

- I have a plan. - Oh, yeah? What?

Jasmine milk tea, half-sweet.

Extra boba.

You know me so well.
