PEI-LING: NICKY, WHY AM I HERE?

I DON'T KNOW.

I WENT SOMEWHERE...

A REALM,

SOME KIND OF AFTERLIFE FOR...WARRIORS AND GUARDIANS.

I WAS THERE.

MY MOTHER, TOO...

AND ALL THE OTHER BLOODLINE SPIRITS.

BUT THEN, I WAS HERE.

THE REST...

IT IS BLANK.

WHAT IS THAT?

I WAS WEARING IT WHEN I WOKE,

HERE IN YOUR WORLD.

IT'S OK, SHIFU.

WE DON'T HAVE TO FIGURE ALL THIS OUT AT ONCE.

I'M JUST...

HAPPY YOU'RE HERE WITH ME.

SO I, UH, GOT YOUR MESSAGE.

NO DETAILS, ASK TO TALK IN PERSON

CAN'T BE GOOD NEWS.

HAVE A SEAT. OH, GOD.

IT COULD BE WORSE.

I SPOKE WITH D.A. URSILLO.

SHE'S OFFERED US A DEAL.

SHE'S CONSIDERED THAT YOU TURNED YOURSELF IN,

THAT THE VIOLATION OF USERS' PRIVACY WAS UNINTENTIONAL.

SHE'S WILLING TO DROP THE CRIMINAL CHARGES.

- THAT'S GOOD, RIGHT? - THERE IS A CONDITION,

AND IT'S A LITTLE UNUSUAL.

SHE'S BANNING YOU FROM THE INTERNET FOR A YEAR.

- WHAT? - IF WE AGREE TO THE DEAL,

YOU'LL BE REQUIRED TO HAND OVER ALL YOUR INTERNET-ENABLED DEVICES--

LAPTOPS, TABLETS, CELLPHONES, EVERYTHING--

AND YOU'LL BE MONITORED TO ENSURE YOU DON'T VIOLATE THE TERMS.

IF WE REFUSE,

SHE'S GONNA PROCEED WITH CRIMINAL CHARGES,

AND YOU'LL LIKELY FACE JAIL TIME.

OH.

LOOK, THIS BUSINESS NEEDS IMMEDIATE HELP.

WE'LL GET YOU FUNDING FAST, WHILE PROVIDING YOU

A HOST OF OTHER BENEFITS. WHAT OTHER BENEFITS?

DIGITIZED BOOKKEEPING, OUTSOURCING PAYROLL,

TAKE A LOT OF WORK OFF YOUR SHOULDERS.

IT'LL FINALLY BRING YOUR OPERATION INTO THE 21st CENTURY.

WE'RE PRETTY EXPERIENCED AT THIS STUFF, WITH MOM-AND-POPS

WITH BLOATED OVERHEAD AND ARCHAIC MANAGEMENT PRACTICES.

NEIL. WE'LL RESET YOUR WORKFORCE, NORMALIZE WAGES.

OUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH LARGE-SCALE SUPPLIERS WILL CUT COSTS ON EVERYTHING

FROM PRODUCE TO INVENTORY. MEI-LI: HOLD ON A MINUTE.

WHEN YOU SAY "RESET" MY WORKFORCE,

DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE GOING TO BE FIRING MY CREW?

WELL, TECHNICALLY, YOUR STAFF'S BEEN LAID OFF SINCE THE EARTHQUAKE.

MEI-LI: AND YOU'RE GONNA STOP SOURCING FROM THE FARMS

AND WHOLESALERS I'VE BEEN USING FOR DECADES,

PEOPLE WHO HAVE BECOME SOME OF MY BEST FRIENDS?

THIS IS A BUSINESS, CORRECT?

I THINK WE'RE DONE. MEI-LI: YES, WE ARE.

WELL... YOU WON'T DO BETTER.

WITHOUT HELP, YOU CAN KISS THIS PLACE GOOD-BYE.

KEEP TRYING, SHIFU.

JUST...BE.

NICKY...

I AM THERE.

PEI-LING, VOICE-OVER: I FEEL YOU.

YOU ARE HERE, IN THE REALM.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE. MY SISTER.

SHE IS HERE, TOO.

I AM TRYING TO FIND YOU.

SOMETHING IS WRONG.

THE GROUND IS MOVING.

YOU ARE GONE.

ZHILAN. I MUST FIND HER.

ZHILAN!

ZHIL--

ZHILAN.

NICKY!

WHAT HAPPENED TO ZHILAN?

WATCH OUT!

MMM!

WOW. I MEAN, THIS IS A GOOD THING, RIGHT?

HOWEVER IT HAPPENED, YOUR SHIFU'S ALIVE.

YES, HAVING HER BACK

AND JUST SEEING HER AGAIN, IT...IT FEELS--

UH, I FEEL A "BUT" COMING.

LOOK, I KNOW IT'S HER,

BUT WHEN WE FOUGHT, I SAW SOMETHING,

A GLIMPSE OF SOMEONE ELSE--

THE ALCHEMIST.

SOMEHOW, I THINK XIAO IS CONNECTED TO ALL THIS.

THE RESURRECTION, MOVING BETWEEN WORLDS--

IT SOUNDS A LOT LIKE XIAO.

SHE WAS TRAPPED IN THAT REALM FOR OVER A THOUSAND YEARS.

WHAT IF SHE'S USING PEI-LING TO GET BACK? RYAN: WHAT DOES PEI-LING SAY?

SHE DOESN'T KNOW HOW SHE GOT HERE.

HOW SHE GOT BACK, WHAT SHE'S DOING HERE.

I STILL HAVE THE RESEARCH WE PULLED FROM JULIETTE'S PHONE,

XIAO'S NOTEBOOKS. I'LL START THERE.

WHAT CAN I DO? WE HAVE ANOTHER PROBLEM.

YOU TWO ALMOST GOT BLOWN UP LAST NIGHT.

WHOEVER SET THAT BOMB IS STILL OUT THERE,

AND THIS ISN'T JUST SOME RANDOM GANG MEMBER.

THEY'RE SMART, CAPABLE. WORK WITH EVAN,

FIGURE OUT WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH. GOT IT.

IF YOU NEED HELP HACKING, YOU COULD ASK BO. NO!

UH, I JUST...DON'T FEEL LIKE SHARING MY WORK TODAY.

YOU.

ZHILAN.

IF I REALIZED I WAS SAVING YOU...

I WOULDN'T HAVE BOTHERED.

CAN I HELP YOU? GRANT HARRISON?

MY NAME'S HENRY. I'M DANNY YAN'S SON.

I'M LOOKING FOR SOMETHING. I, UH...

THINK YOU CAN HELP ME FIND IT.

COME ON IN.

TEA? SURE.

SO, WHAT IS IT EXACTLY THAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR?

AN ANCIENT COMPASS.

IT'S CALLED SI NAN.

I SEE.

I WORKED WITH DANNY FOR YEARS. HE NEVER MENTIONED A SON.

YEAH, WELL,

HE KEPT A LOT OF SECRETS.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HEARD, BUT HE'S DEAD.

HE WROTE ABOUT YOU, YOU KNOW, IN HIS JOURNALS,

ABOUT HOW YOU TWO TEAMED UP, LOOKED FOR SI NAN TOGETHER.

THAT'S HOW I FOUND YOU...

SO, PLEASE,

I REALLY JUST WANT TO TALK.

DOOR'S OPEN.

IF YOU'RE HERE TO TRY AGAIN, YOU'RE WASTING YOUR TIME.

I CAME TO APOLOGIZE.

MY COLLEAGUE FAVORS A HARD SELL.

IT WORKS, ON SOME PEOPLE,

PEOPLE WITH NOTHING TO LOSE.

I KNOW WHAT THIS PLACE MEANS TO YOU.

YOU HAVE POWER, MEI-LI.

WHAT POWER?

POWER TO NEGOTIATE.

OUR COMPANY WANTS TO DO BUSINESS WITH YOU.

THEY SEE POTENTIAL IN YOUR NAME AND BRAND,

YOUR FOOD.

QUITE FRANKLY, THEY SEE MONEY.

YOU HAVE LEVERAGE.

MAKE A DEAL THAT YOU LIKE, OR AT LEAST ONE YOU CAN LIVE WITH.

HOW?

I WOULDN'T KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN.

EMPLOYEE WAGES, PRODUCE-SOURCING.

IT'D CUT INTO OUR MARGINS, BUT I'VE SEEN

THE NUMBERS AND I KNOW WHAT WE THINK YOU'RE WORTH.

THERE IS GROUND TO BE MADE IF YOU COME BACK TO THE TABLE.

WHY WOULD YOUR BOSSES WANT ME TO KNOW THIS?

THEY WOULDN'T.

THEY DON'T KNOW I'M HERE.

I'VE EATEN YOUR FOOD.

I'VE SEEN YOU WORK THAT KITCHEN.

I'D JUST LIKE TO DO BUSINESS WITH YOU.

THE ISSUES FACING OUR DISTRICT,

THE CRIME, THE PACE OF THE REBUILD.

I KNOW YOU'RE FRUSTRATED. MANY OF YOU KNOW ME.

I'VE LIVED HERE MY WHOLE LIFE, AND I AM COMMITTED

TO GETTING THIS DISTRICT BACK ON TRACK.

YES, MR. SHEN. SORRY--JIN.

HMM. OLD HABIT. HELLO, ANTHONY.

GOOD TO KNOW. GOOD TO KNOW.

I HAVE NO DOUBT YOU MEAN WHAT YOU SAY

AND THAT YOU CARE FOR THIS CITY.

BUT CARING AND DOING--

TWO DIFFERENT THINGS, RIGHT?

RIGHT, RIGHT. IT'S BEEN MONTHS

SINCE THE EARTHQUAKE DEVASTATED OUR CITY.

WEEKS AND DAYS AFTER THAT,

ALL SORTS OF PROMISES WERE MADE

BY THE MAYOR, BY YOU.

YOU SAY ALL THIS RELIEF--

RENT FREEZE FOR LONG-TERM RESIDENTS,

BRIDGE LOAN FOR SMALL BUSINESSES--

SO HELP THEM REBUILD.

MY FAMILY'S HURTING, MAN, AND WE'RE NOT THE ONLY ONES.

A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE ARE HURTING.

YEAH, YEAH! SO, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT,

I GOTTA ASK... WHERE YOU BEEN?

AND WHERE'S THE HELP WE WERE PROMISED?

YEAH! JIN'S RIGHT.

AND IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT RELIEF.

WHAT ABOUT THE REAL ISSUE?

THEFT'S GONE THROUGH THE ROOF, ON YOUR WATCH.

WHO IN THIS ROOM HAS BEEN ROBBED IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS?

WHO KNOWS SOMEONE,

A FRIEND OR A FAMILY MEMBER, WHO HAS BEEN ROBBED?

WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO DO SOMETHING?

YEAH!

ALL RIGHT.

WE ALREADY KNEW XIAO WAS TRYING TO HELP THE EMPEROR ACHIEVE IMMORTALITY.

SHE WORKED ON A LOT OF POSSIBLE METHODS,

BUT HE REJECTED HER MOST SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENT.

UNLIKE RUSSELL TAN, THE EMPEROR REFUSED TO KILL HIS OWN CHILD.

SO, XIAO STARTED TO FIND ANOTHER WAY.

SHE DECIDED HER BEST BET WOULD BE TO CREATE

A SPELL SHE COULD USE AFTER HE DIED

TO, UH, "MAKE HIS SPIRIT FLESH"

AND RESURRECT HIM IN THE AFTERLIFE.

OK, BUT HOW WOULD SHE EVEN GET TO THE AFTERLIFE?

ACCORDING TO HER, SHE DIDN'T NEED TO USE MAGIC.

XIAO CLAIMED TO BE A SHEN XING ZHE,

A TRAVELER, SAID SHE HAD A NATURAL GIFT,

THAT SHE'D BEEN CROSSING WORLDS SINCE SHE WAS A CHILD.

MAYBE THAT'S HOW SHE GOT TO THE REALM IN THE FIRST PLACE,

BEFORE SOURCE MAGIC, BEFORE JYU SA.

THERE'S A TON OF INFORMATION HERE; I MEAN, WITHOUT MORE

TO GO OFF OF, I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHERE TO START.

WELL, YOU CAN START HERE.

PEI-LING WAS WEARING IT WHEN SHE CROSSED OVER.

I THINK IT'S CONNECTED TO HOW SHE CAME BACK.

ALL RIGHT. THANKS, BUG.

ALL RIGHT, BYE.

THAT WAS NADIA. IT'S A PET NAME.

- CUTE. - ALL RIGHT, "PEBBLES."

SERIAL NUMBER.

COPS PULLED IT OFF THE BOMB'S TRANSISTOR.

COULD POINT BACK TO OUR GUY.

I'LL SEE WHAT I CAN DO.

HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT IT, THE DEAL?

DON'T HAVE MUCH OF A CHOICE.

HAVEN'T HAD THE HEART TO TELL ANYONE YET,

NOT EVEN DENNIS. HMM.

JUST TRYING TO MAKE THE MOST OF THE NEXT FEW DAYS,

DO WHAT I CAN WHILE I CAN SO I CAN REALLY AVOID FACING

THE FACT THAT I'M ABOUT

THE CORNERSTONE OF MY IDENTITY,

THE ENTIRE FOUNDATION OF MY CAREER,

THE ONE THING ON THIS PLANET THAT I'M REALLY, REALLY GOOD AT.

I'M SORRY... BUT, HEY,

YOU'RE--YOU'RE GOOD AT LOTS OF THINGS.

NOT THIS GOOD.

I LINKED THE SERIAL NUMBER TO A BLACK-MARKET SALE ON THE DARK WEB.

BUYER PAID THROUGH A SWISS BANK ACCOUNT,

SO I HACKED THEIR FIREWALL, SNOOPED IN THE ACCOUNT RECORDS,

AND GOT A NAME-- MAX DeVEER.

HE'S THE ONE THAT BOUGHT THE EXPLOSIVES.

WHAT?

ALTHEA, WHAT'S UP?

WE THINK WE'VE ID'd OUR MYSTERY MAN. THAT'S GREAT.

EVAN DOESN'T THINK SO.

OUR GUY, MAX DeVEER, CAME UP IN MILITARY INTELLIGENCE,

WORKED AS A MERCENARY FOR HIRE BEFORE GOING LEGIT.

NOW HE DOES BUSINESS AS A DISASTER SECURITY CONSULTANT.

WHAT KIND OF BUSINESS? WELL, VARIOUS ENTITIES

HIRE HIM TO MOVE INTO PLACES OF CONFLICT--

WARS, CIVIL UNREST, NATURAL DISASTERS--

SCOPING OUT OPPORTUNITIES.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR WHAT? PROFIT.

HE DOESN'T JUST ASSESS CRISES; HE STOKES THEM,

CREATING INSTABILITY FOR MAXIMUM PROFIT.

LIKE FORGING A GANG ALLIANCE AND MANUFACTURING

A CRIME WAVE IN OUR COMMUNITY?

THE SECURITY BILL WILL PROTECT US.

WHY HAVEN'T YOU VOTED FOR IT?

I'M SORRY. I CAN'T VOTE FOR ORDINANCE 11.

I'LL EXPLAIN IF--

WE ARE MAKING PROGRESS.

SFPD MADE A HUGE BUST LAST NIGHT,

RECOVERING A LARGE STASH OF STOLEN GOODS.

OH, PLEASE. THAT WASN'T THE COPS.

WE ALL KNOW THERE'S ONLY ONE PERSON IN CHINATOWN KEEPING US SAFE.

WELL, THAT WAS A WASTE OF TIME.

AND YOU'RE RIGHT. BAD AS THINGS ARE, THEY'D BE SO MUCH WORSE.

YUP. I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'D DO WITHOUT THAT SHEN GIRL.

HMM.

"THAT SHEN GIRL."

SO, POST-EARTHQUAKE,

THIS DeVEER GUY GETS HIRED

TO SCOPE OUT "OPPORTUNITIES" IN OUR CITY.

HE GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND, FANNING THE FLAMES,

MAKING THINGS WORSE. MAXIMUM CHAOS, MAXIMUM PROFIT.

THEN, TWO MONTHS AGO, HE BROKERS A TRUCE

BETWEEN OAKLAND GANGS, GETS THEM WORKING TOGETHER

AS AN ORGANIZED RING. THEFT SKYROCKETS.

WHEN MAX REALIZED SOMEONE WAS ON TO HIM,

HE WAS READY TO BLOW UP HIS HAUL JUST TO TAKE US OUT.

IT WAS NEVER ABOUT THE STOLEN GOODS.

IT WAS ABOUT CREATING A CRIME WAVE?

SO WHO STANDS TO PROFIT? WHO'S THE CLIENT?

I THINK I MIGHT HAVE AN IDEA.

WHAT? I'M OLD-SCHOOL.

CHECK THE HEADLINE.

ORDINANCE 11? IT'S CURRENTLY STALLED OUT

WITH THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS; THERE ARE STILL A COUPLE OF HOLDOUTS.

IT'S BEING PRESENTED AS A SIMPLE SPENDING PACKAGE,

BUT IT'S ACTUALLY A MASSIVE HANDOUT

TO PRIVATE SECURITY CONTRACTORS, ONE IN PARTICULAR.

"DELTA SECURITY ENDEAVORS."

THEIR LOBBYISTS BASICALLY WROTE THE ORDINANCE.

YOU THINK MAX IS MESSING WITH OUR CITY ON THEIR BEHALF?

WE WON'T HAVE MUCH LUCK GOING AFTER DELTA SECURITY ENDEAVORS;

THEY KEEP THEIR DEALINGS WITH MAX CLEAN, LEGAL.

THEN WE GO AFTER MAX.

WE HAVE TO STOP HIM AND PUT HIM AWAY.

WE NEED HARD EVIDENCE. WHAT ABOUT THE GANGS?

HERDING RIVAL GANGS INTO AN ALLIANCE, MONEY MUST HAVE

CHANGED HANDS, AND WITH STREET-LEVEL CRIMINALS, COULD HAVE GOTTEN SLOPPY.

HMM.

THE RELIEF PACKAGE DIED IN COMMITTEE.

I TRIED TO GET IT THROUGH, JIN.

I FAILED.

I DIDN'T KNOW THE FULL STORY.

WOW.

I LIT A MATCH IN THIS ROOM.

WASN'T YOUR FAULT.

CRIME'S UP. THAT HEAT WAS COMING MY WAY.

I CAN'T VOTE FOR ORDINANCE 11.

NO, YOU CAN'T.

YOU READ IT? WE GOT ENOUGH PROBLEMS

WITHOUT GIVING THE CITY AWAY.

KNEW TODAY WOULD BE ROUGH.

DIDN'T EXPECT THAT.

I THOUGHT THIS JOB WOULD BRING ME CLOSER

TO THE CITY, TO MY PEOPLE.

THE REALITY, THE DAY-TO-DAY...

I'VE NEVER FELT MORE DISCONNECTED.

YOU'RE A GOOD KID, ANTHONY.

YOU'LL GET THROUGH IT.

I DON'T THINK SO.

GETTING PRIMARIED.

IF I DON'T FIX THIS, THEY'LL WIN.

I NEED HELP,

SOMEONE ON MY TEAM WHO HAS

ROOTS IN THE COMMUNITY,

SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP ME CONNECT

WITH MY CONSTITUENTS...

SOMEONE LIKE YOU.

THAT THING-- WHAT WAS IT?

WE CALL HIM THE HARVESTER.

HE HUNTS US DOWN, ONE BY ONE.

ONE NICK FROM HIS BLADE, YOU'RE GONE.

SIMON, PLEASE.

BEFORE I SAW THAT WOMAN, I THOUGHT THAT I WAS ALONE HERE.

I THOUGHT THAT I WAS IN HELL.

WHAT IS THIS PLACE?

FAR AS I KNOW...

THIS IS OUR NEW HOME NOW.

AFTER OUR WORLD COLLAPSED, WE ALL ENDED UP HERE,

THE WARRIOR AND GUARDIAN SPIRITS.

DON'T KNOW WHY, WHAT THIS PLACE EVEN IS,

BUT, HEY, FIGURE NATURE ABHORS A VACUUM,

SO...WE HAD TO END UP SOMEWHERE.

WHAT GOT YOU?

I GUESS I DID.

KIND OF A SELF-SACRIFICE.

DISAPPOINTING.

YOU KNOW, I USED TO IMAGINE ALL THE WAYS YOU'D GO OUT,

MOST OF THEM PAINFUL, NOT VERY HEROIC.

I'M SORRY, SIMON.

YEAH? FOR WHAT?

GO ON, SAY IT.

KILLING ME?

YES.

ALL RIGHT, I THINK WE'VE COVERED ENOUGH DISTANCE.

A FEW OF US BANDED TOGETHER, FORMED A CAMP.

THAT'S WHERE I'M HEADED.

LOOK, I APPRECIATE THE APOLOGY,

BUT I HAVE TO THINK OF THEM FIRST,

AND I DON'T TRUST YOU.

LOOK, I'M REALLY SORRY ABOUT YOUR FATHER,

BUT I'M OUTTA THE GAME.

BEFORE HE DIED,

MY DAD APOLOGIZED,

SAID HE WAS SORRY FOR NOT TELLING ME WHO I WAS.

HIS LAST WORDS.

I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HE MEANT. I HAVE TO UNDERSTAND.

COULD HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT ANYTHING. MAYBE, BUT

I FEEL LIKE IT'S CONNECTED TO SI NAN.

THIS IS THE ONE MYSTERY I CAN SOLVE,

THE ONLY SHOT I'LL HAVE, OTHERWISE...

I'LL NEVER KNOW.

WE LOOKED ALL OVER CHINA. ALL WE FOUND WERE DEAD ENDS.

I KNOW.

I USED DAD'S JOURNAL TO RETRACE YOUR STEPS,

ALL THE WAY TO THAT TEMPLE IN SHAANXI...

YOUR FINAL DEAD END,

THE PLACE YOU CALLED IT QUITS.

HE SAID IT BROKE YOUR HEART.

YEAH, WELL, IT BROKE MINE, TOO.

I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO LOOK,

THOUGHT I'D NEVER GET AN ANSWER.

YEAH.

BUT THEN I REMEMBERED SOMETHING,

SOMETHING MY DAD ONCE TOLD ME.

CHINA'S NOT THE ONLY PLACE WITH MAGIC.

DIFFERENT CONTEXT, BUT IT--IT GOT ME THINKING.

THE SI NAN LEGEND STARTED IN CHINA,

BUT THE MYTHS AND SOURCE TEXTS,

THAT FLOWED FROM THE LEGEND;

ALL THE MAPS AND EXPLORATIONS, ALL THE SPECULATIONS

ABOUT WHERE IT COULD HAVE BEEN HIDDEN.

CHINA INTERACTED WITH OTHER CIVILIZATIONS WHEN THE LEGEND TOOK ROOT.

WE'VE BEEN LOOKING IN THE WRONG PLACE.

OH, OK. UH, REMEMBER THOSE MESSAGES

BO AND I DECRYPTED OFF THE SUGAR CRASH APP?

I MANAGED TO PULL THE FULL THREAD,

GOING BACK WEEKS. THE MESSAGES WERE FAKE,

BUT ONE OF THE GANG MEMBERS SLIPPED UP.

THEY ASKED WHEN THEY WERE GETTING PAID FOR THE JOB.

SOMEONE ELSE ON THE THREAD SAID THAT THEY WERE GETTING PAID THE NEXT DAY.

THAT "SOMEONE ELSE" MUST HAVE BEEN RUNNING POINT BETWEEN DeVEER AND THE GANG.

BY GOING THROUGH THEIR COMMUNICATIONS, COMPARING THEM

TO THE NAMES OF THE MEN THAT WERE ARRESTED AT THE WAREHOUSE,

I NARROWED IT DOWN AND IDENTIFIED MAX'S CONTACT--

MARK ALONZO.

I HACKED INTO HIS ACCOUNT RECORDS

AND FOUND A $150,000 DEPOSIT INTO HIS ACCOUNT.

SO ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS TIE THAT PAYMENT

BACK TO MAX. ALREADY DID--

SAME SWISS BANK ACCOUNT I ALREADY HACKED.

IS THAT ENOUGH FOR AN ARREST?

A LARGE PAYMENT TO A RECENTLY ARRESTED GANG MEMBER?

IT'S ENOUGH TO SNARE HIM IN INVESTIGATION.

CAN YOU SEND THOSE FILES TO ME, AS WELL AS NADIA?

SHE'LL KICK IT UP TO THE D.A.

ALTHEA, YOU ARE AN EVIL GENIUS,

AND WE WOULD BE NOTHING WITHOUT YOUR SKILLS.

MMM.

SO, XIAO WAS WORKING ON MAGIC TO RESURRECT THE EMPEROR

IN THE AFTERLIFE, BUT

HOW TO GET HIM BACK. AS A TRAVELER, SHE COULD GET THERE,

BUT SHE DOUBTED HER ABILITY TO BRING THE EMPEROR

BACK TO EARTH, SO, TO SOLVE THIS,

SHE LOOKED TO CREATE A DEVICE

THAT COULD RESURRECT THE EMPEROR

AND JOIN HER TO HIM, A KIND OF MYSTICAL TETHER.

JOTTED DOWN SOME EARLY DESIGNS IN THE MARGINS.

LOOK.

THE PENDANT. YEAH.

OK, SO WORST-CASE, XIAO NEEDED A BODY TO GET BACK.

SHE USED THIS TETHER TO ANCHOR HERSELF TO PEI-LING,

HITCH A RIDE BACK TO EARTH, BUT IF THIS PENDANT

IS XIAO'S CONNECTION TO PEI-LING, CAN'T WE JUST DESTROY IT--

CUT THE TETHER, BANISH XIAO? MAYBE,

BUT IF WE'RE RIGHT, AND THIS PENDANT IS THE SAME MAGIC

XIAO WAS WORKING ON, IT'S ALSO THE REASON PEI-LING'S ALIVE.

WE DESTROY THE PENDANT,

PEI-LING COULD DIE.

HMM.

I'LL MISS TEXTING YOU MOST OF ALL, BAM BAM.

BUY YOU A DRINK?

OH, NO, THANK YOU. I'M WAITING FOR SOME...ONE.

HELLO, MS. SHEN.

NICKY. JUST TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED.

I WAS SUPPOSED TO MEET HER AT APOTHECARY.

I GET THERE, SHE'S NOWHERE TO BE SEEN,

BUT HER BAG IS JUST SITTING THERE, UNDER THE BAR,

SO I TRIED CALLING HER. NO ANSWER.

TOOK ME A WHOLE MINUTE TO REALIZE IT'S BECAUSE HER PHONE'S

IN HER BAG ON SILENT, SO I BEGGED MY MANAGER TO LET ME SEE

THE SECURITY FOOTAGE, AND THAT'S WHEN I SAW THAT.

WHO IS THAT GUY?

WHAT?

IT'S MAX DeVEER, THE GUY BEHIND THE THEFTS IN CHINATOWN.

YOU MEAN THE GUY WHO TRIED TO BLOW UP MY WIFE?

HE HAS HER? OK.

DENNIS, I PROMISE I'M GOING TO FIND HER.

I...HEARD ABOUT A SHEN GIRL--

A HERO, A PROTECTOR OF HER COMMUNITY.

I WONDERED IF THIS WAS THE SAME GIRL

WHO TRIED TO BUST UP MY OPERATION.

THEN A MEMBER OF MY TEAM IDENTIFIED A SECURITY BREACH,

SOMEONE... POKING AROUND

IN MY BANK RECORDS.

I DISCOVERED SHE HAD A SISTER...

A DISGRACED TECH WIZ.

INTERESTING FAMILY.

WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?

YOUR TALENT.

I KNOW YOU STOLE FILES LINKING ME TO THE OAKLAND GANGS.

YOU'RE GONNA TELL ME WHO YOU SENT IT TO,

AND THEN, YOU'RE GONNA

HACK INTO THEIR COMPUTERS AND THEN WIPE

ANY TRACE OF THOSE RECORDS.

I'M GUESSING THERE'S AN "OR ELSE" COMING?

HEY. SORRY TO RIP YOU AWAY FROM WORK. BO: NO, THAT'S OK.

UM, YOU SAID ALTHEA'S GOT HER COMPUTER ON HER?

SHE LEFT HERE WITH IT. AND IT WASN'T AT THE BAR.

OK, YOU GOT HER PHONE? YEAH.

IF I CAN GET INTO HER PHONE, I CAN USE THE LOCATOR APP

TO TRACK DOWN HER COMPUTER. YOU KNOW HER PASSWORD?

I TRIED GETTING PAST HER LOCK SCREEN.

I COULDN'T REMEMBER IT. CAN YOU CRACK IT?

THE SECURITY ON THESE ARE PRETTY TIGHT.

I'M SORRY. HEY, THAT WAS NADIA.

SHE WAS ABOUT TO SEND THE FILES TO THE D.A.,

BUT THEY'RE GONE-- SCRUBBED FROM HER EMAIL,

HER HARD DRIVE, DISAPPEARED.

UH, GUYS.

W-WHAT'S HAPPENING?

I'M GUESSING THE SAME THING THAT JUST HAPPENED TO NADIA.

SOMEBODY'S TAKEN REMOTE CONTROL OF YOUR SYSTEM. DeVEER?

I DON'T KNOW. IS HE AN AMAZING HACKER?

I'LL UNPLUG THE SYSTEM, LOCK HIM OUT?

WHOA, WHOA, WAIT. THAT--THAT MIGHT NOT BE MAX.

THEN WHO? ALTHEA.

HOW'S IT COMING? BO: I CAN SNEAK AROUND THE OVERRIDE,

BACKTRACE THEIR HACK, BUT ACTUALLY GETTING AN IP ADDRESS,

FINDING THEIR LOCATION-- THAT COULD TAKE A WHILE.

WE DON'T HAVE A WHILE. ALTHEA'S A GENIUS; SHE'LL RUN CIRCLES PAST US.

HOW'S IT COMING? IT'S COMING.

OK, THAT'S WEIRD.

BAD WEIRD OR-- NO, NO, GOOD WEIRD.

SOMEONE PULLED DOWN THEIR SECURITY.

WHAT WAS THAT?

JUST A QUICK SEARCH OF HIS CACHE.

YOU WANT ME TO BE THOROUGH, RIGHT?

IP's UNPROTECTED, LIKE THEY WANT TO BE FOUND.

RIGHT UNDER MAX'S NOSE. THAT'S MY GIRL.

GOT THEIR LOCATION.

LET'S GO.

KEEP RUNNING ALL THOSE PROGRAMS.

OK, THIS IS TAKING WAY LONGER THAN IT SHOULD.

IT--IT'S NOT MY FAULT.

THE SYSTEM, IT'S SLUDGY. IT'S ALMOST LIKE...

NO, NO, DAN, YOU CAN'T GET BACK TO ME.

IN THIS INSTANCE, I THINK IT NEEDS A--AN IMMEDIATE POLICE RESPONSE.

LIKE WHAT, MS. SHEN?

LIKE THE HARD DRIVE'S OVERLOADED.

WELL, I GUESS YOU BETTER FIX IT, THEN.

NO, NO, NO. BABY, NO. WHAT HAPPENED?

I'M SLOWING DOWN OUR SYSTEM, BUT IT'S NOT WORKING ANYMORE.

SHE GOT AROUND ME.

WELL DONE, MS. SHEN...

AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.

SO THIS IS IT, HUH?

YOU'LL NEVER GET AWAY WITH THIS.

HEH!

HOW'S THAT?

YOU'VE BEEN MESSING WITH CHINATOWN,

MANIPULATING US, HURTING US,

AND YOU'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR...MONEY?

MY SISTER'S A WARRIOR.

YOU'RE EVERYTHING SHE'S BORN TO DESTROY.

I APPRECIATE THE WARNING.

I'LL MAKE SURE TO KILL HER NEXT.

FIND OUT WHOEVER DID THIS!

LEAVE HER TO ME.

AAH!

BO.

GO. FIND HER!

HEY!

NICKY!

SORRY I TOOK SO LONG.

OK, OK, OK. A BREATH, A BREATH.

I'M SORRY. IT'S JUST-- IF ANYTHING HAD HAPPENED TO YOU...

MMM. WISH WE STILL HAD ALL THAT EVIDENCE,

BUT ABDUCTION AND ATTEMPTED MURDER SHOULD DO THE TRICK.

THERE'S SOMETHING I HAVE TO TELL YOU.

I HEARD THE D.A.'s OFFER AND--

IS IT BAD?

IT'S PRETTY BAD...

BUT...IF I CAN GET THROUGH THIS...

I THINK WE'LL BE OK.

HMM.

HEY.

THANK YOU

FOR DROPPING EVERYTHING

AND RISKING YOUR LIFE TO SAVE MY FAMILY, AGAIN.

I DON'T NEED THANKS.

ANYTHING YOU NEED, I'M HERE.

WHY?

BECAUSE... ♪ OOH, OOH, OOH

- I LIKE YOU. - ♪ IN THE MIDDLE OF NOTHING

- HEH! - ♪ IN THE MIDDLE OF NOTHING

- WHERE ARE THEY? - I'LL NEVER TELL.

DO YOU THINK YOU'RE HELPING THEM?

YOU ONLY DELAY THEIR SALVATION.

HUH?

THANK YOU, BOTH OF YOU,

FOR COMING BACK. YOU KNOW, WE'VE PUT

OUR ENTIRE LIVES INTO THIS PLACE.

AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, IT'S BEEN EMOTIONAL FOR US.

OF COURSE. WE'RE JUST GLAD YOU'VE COME AROUND TO THE DEAL.

ACTUALLY, WE CALLED YOU BACK NOT TO SIGN THE DEAL.

MEI-LI: WE CALLED YOU BACK TO NEGOTIATE.

ABOUT THE REDESIGN,

WE ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THE CHANGES.

WE PUT A LOT OF THOUGHT INTO THE REBUILD,

AND WE ARE HAPPY WITH THE PATH WE'VE CHOSEN.

OF COURSE. WE'RE ALWAYS HAPPY TO COLLABORATE ON DECOR.

HMM.

WHAT'S THIS? MEI-LI: MORE OF OUR DEMANDS.

WE WILL MAINTAIN OPERATIONAL CONTROL

OVER EMPLOYEE PAY AND PRODUCE-SOURCING.

AND AS FOR NONPERISHABLES, WE WILL CONSIDER YOUR SUPPLIERS,

PROVIDED THEY MEET OUR STANDARDS.

THESE ARE SIGNIFICANT CONCESSIONS,

BUT I'LL BRING THEM TO THE BOARD.

I THINK WE COULD SELL THEM ON THIS.

REALLY? MEI-LI: ONE LAST DEMAND.

THE 60/40 MAJORITY STAKE-- NEIL: WE'RE NOT GONNA BUDGE ON THAT. NO COMPANY ON EARTH--

MEI-LI: I UNDERSTAND THAT. WE SPOKE TO OUR LAWYER

AND FOUND OUT DEALS OF THIS NATURE,

IN SOME CASES, CERTAIN EXEMPTIONS CAN BE MADE.

EXEMPTIONS? MEI-LI: CARVEOUTS, IF YOU WILL.

YOU MAINTAIN YOUR MAJORITY STAKE,

WE MAINTAIN VETO POWER OVER CERTAIN IMPORTANT DECISIONS.

WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR INTEREST IN US,

BUT WE HAVE TO PROTECT OURSELVES.

I'M SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THAT.

WELL, ALL WE CAN DO IS TAKE IT TO THE PARTNERS, SEE WHAT THEY SAY, RIGHT?

MEI-LI: IT HAS BEEN A PLEASURE NEGOTIATING WITH YOU.

MA'AM?

LO POR... MEI-LI: HMM?

YOU'RE INCREDIBLE.

MEI-LI: AH.

HEH HEH! YOU THINK THEY'LL TAKE IT?

WE'LL SEE, LAO GONG.

WE WILL SEE.

MM-HMM.

I THOUGHT YOU SAID HIS BLADE WAS FATAL,

SUDDEN DEATH.

YEAH, I'VE SEEN IT MANY TIMES-- EVERY WARRIOR

AND GUARDIAN SPIRIT, GONE IN AN INSTANT.

MAYBE YOU'RE DIFFERENT.

HOW DID YOU DIE?

UH...I WAS IN THE CAVE,

NEAR THE SOURCE. WALLS CAME DOWN AND--

SO YOU WERE ALIVE WHEN YOU ENTERED THE REALM?

YES,

BUT I STAYED BEHIND

WHEN THE WORLD WAS ENDING. I--I THOUGHT THAT...

YOUR SACRIFICE.

DID YOU EVER CONSIDER THAT MAYBE YOUR SACRIFICE DIDN'T TAKE?

THE BLADE REAPS SPIRITS.

DIDN'T REAP YOU.

SORRY TO SAY IT, BUT I DON'T THINK YOU'RE DEAD.

SORRY.

I HAD A CRISIS TO DEAL WITH.

IS EVERYTHING OK?

I REMEMBERED...

MY LAST MOMENTS IN THE REALM.

I SAW XIAO, WEARING MY FACE.

SHE HAD THE PENDANT.

SHE IS THE REASON I AM HERE,

THIS...ALCHEMIST.

YOU ALREADY KNEW?

NOT FOR SURE...

BUT YEAH.

FAR AS WE KNOW,

XIAO USED THIS PENDANT TO

BRING YOU BACK TO LIFE AND TO BRING HERSELF BACK TO EARTH.

YOU KNOW WHAT WE MUST DO.

NO.

THIS MIGHT BE THE ONLY THING KEEPING YOU ALIVE.

SHIFU, I CAN'T LOSE YOU AGAIN.

EVER SINCE I RETURNED,

I HAVE NOT FELT LIKE MYSELF.

SOMETHING WAS NOT RIGHT.

NOW I KNOW IT IS

BECAUSE OF XIAO.

WHAT IF SHE CHOSE ME

FOR A REASON, HMM?

WHAT IF SHE KNEW YOU WOULD PROTECT ME--

HER VESSEL-- AT ANY COST?

I WILL NOT BE USED LIKE THAT.

I REFUSE.

WE MUST...

TAKE THAT CHANCE.

HEY. EVERYTHING OK WITH YOUR FRIEND?

YEAH, YEAH.

ACTUALLY, THINGS ARE LOOKING UP.

SHE'S FEELING MUCH BETTER, AND SO AM I.

GREAT.

UH, YOUR TEXT SOUNDED KINDA URGENT.

IT WAS.

YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING?

NOT REALLY.

YOU SURE THIS LAI-TAANG BOW-RAAN IS OUR COMPASS?

THE LAI-TAANG BOW-RAAN WAS DISCOVERED DECADES AGO

IN WHAT IS NOW MODERN-DAY THAILAND.

IT'S SPECIAL, IT'S...

THERE IT IS.

IT'S MYSTERIOUS.

I NEVER THOUGHT IT COULD BE SI NAN

UNTIL YOU OPENED MY EYES.

LET'S GET A CLOSER LOOK.

OH...

OH, IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

MAY I?

YEAH.

WHAT'S HAPPENING?

IT'S REACTING, TO YOU.

GRANT?

GRANT.

GREG, MOVE YOUR HEAD!

NICE SHOT, MOM!
