FANTASTIC, GUYS. FANTASTIC.
I AM SO GLAD YOU ARE BACK.
THANK YOU.
THE LINE COOK CANDIDATES?
KNIFE SKILLS WERE SOLID.
HAVEN'T EVEN TRIED THEIR FOOD YET.
HEY, GUYS, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING.
WE WILL LET YOU KNOW BEFORE TOMORROW.
HEY, MAMA, GOT YOUR LUO BO.
OOH, THANK YOU.
LET ME CHECK THAT OFF THE LIST.
OH, ARE THESE UP FOR GRABS?
HEY.
OH...
I NEEDED TO TRY THOSE.
- SORRY. - WELL?
- WELL, THAT WAS BAD. - OOH...
I GUESS TRACY IS A NO.
UH-UH.
WHY DO I FEEL LIKE I'M FORGETTING SOMETHING?
MAMA. OH. I'M SORRY.
I THOUGHT PEI LING WAS OK.
HOW'S IT FEEL?
NO. THEY'RE HEALING. AND HOW IS SHE?
SHE FEELS TERRIBLE.
I'VE BEEN TELLING HER NOT TO BLAME HERSELF,
BUT SHE WON'T LISTEN.
FINALLY MOVED HER OUT OF HENRY'S APARTMENT.
HE SEEMS TO BE DOING OK,
BUT IT'S ONLY BEEN A WEEK, AND HE JUST WENT THROUGH
THIS MASSIVE TRANSFORMATION--
HOLD ON.
SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE TAKING CARE OF A LOT OF PEOPLE.
I HOPE YOU'RE ALSO TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF, TOO.
WE GOT A VISITOR--
OUR FRIEND FROM MELODY DUMPLINGS.
MEI-LI: WHAT IS SHE DOING HERE?
ISN'T SHE YOUR RIVAL?
- MORE LIKE FRENEMY. - MMPH!
A TOKEN OF GOOD LUCK.
I KNOW YOU'VE WORKED SO HARD TO REOPEN.
MELODY, WHAT A SURPRISE. THANK YOU.
OPENING DAYS CAN BE SO CHAOTIC.
I HOPE NOTHING GOES WRONG TOMORROW.
MM.
LOOKS LIKE YOU STILL HAVE A TON OF WORK TO GET READY.
I'LL LET YOU GET BACK TO IT.
THANK YOU. ZHU IN HAO YUN.
IT'S LOOKING GOOD, MEI-LI.
MM-HMM. HEY, HEY, LAO PO.
- JIN... - HMM?
WHAT'S THAT?
LIL DUMPY, OUR MASCOT.
MADE THE FULL PLASTER MYSELF.
WHERE'S HE, UH, GOING?
OUT FRONT, OF COURSE. HMM.
UH, MEI-LI...
OHH, ONLY EVER SEEN THIS IN PICTURES.
I REMEMBER.
I USED TO TRY AND JUMP UP
AND SWAT IT, BUT I WAS TOO SHORT.
- HA HA! - HA HA HA!
I HOPE TOMORROW GOES WELL.
WELL, SEBASTIAN'S FEELING BULLISH,
THINKS WE'RE GONNA HAVE A FULL HOUSE.
OH. ARE THINGS BETTER SINCE YOUR TIFF?
OH, BETTER THAN BETTER.
@MM.
I GAVE AN INCH, MADE SPACE FOR HIM IN THE APARTMENT.
HE STARTS GIVING ME BACKRUBS AFTER MY SHIFTS.
NOW IT'S LIKE AN ARMS RACE
TO SEE WHO CAN BE THE BETTER BOYFRIEND,
BUT THE COMPETITION HAS ITS REWARDS.
GOT IT. SAY NO MORE.
EH, YOU'RE JUST JELLY--
LIVING AT HOME, NO PRIVACY.
OHH, I'VE GOT TO GET OUT OF THAT HOUSE.
- HMM. - HMM.
I NEED A JOB.
1997, THE YEAR WE OPENED.
I'VE BEEN SAVING THIS FOR THE RIGHT MOMENT.
DRUMROLL, PLEASE.
OH, HA HA HA!
MAMA, FOR WORKING SO HARD TO GET HERE AGAIN.
LAO GONG, NOT YET.
MAMA, WE SHOULD CELEBRATE.
YEAH. YOU DESERVE THIS.
NO. THERE'S STILL SO MUCH WORK TO DO TOMORROW,
AND WE ARE BEING WATCHED.
CARRIE?
I THOUGHT YOU TWO WERE THICK AS THIEVES.
YEAH, BUT SHE STILL ANSWERS TO CORPORATE,
AND IT'S MADE CLEAR, IF THINGS GO BADLY,
THEY'RE GONNA CUT BACK ON OUR FUNDING,
AND ALL OF THIS COULD GO AWAY,
SO BEFORE WE POP THE CHAMPAGNE,
LET'S JUST GET THROUGH TOMORROW.
QUIN AI DE NI, YOU HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR.
PAPA IS RIGHT.
RESTAURANT'S READY. YOU'RE READY.
TOMORROW NIGHT IS GONNA GO GREAT.
MEI-LI: I CAN EXPLAIN EVERYTHING.
- AH, LAO PO... - MM?
GOOD PRESS FOR TONIGHT. OOH!
AY. OH, MY HAIR.
YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL. WHAT?
- OH... - WHAT? EH.
UM, CARRIE MENTIONED SOMETHING LAST NIGHT
ABOUT LITTLE DUMPY.
OH. WHAT ABOUT LIL DUMPY?
- SHE LOVES HIM. - OH, GOOD. MM-HMM.
MORNING.
MEI-LI: MORNING, ALTHEA.
MARCHING ORDERS ON THE COUNTER.
HUH HUH HUH? YEAH?
- YEAH. - OH, THANK YOU.
HMM? OH.
I THOUGHT I WAS SPLITTING THESE
WITH NICKI AND RYAN.
NO. SHE'S GOT A CLASS, AND HE'S IN THE E.R.
RIGHT, THE GAINFULLY EMPLOYED CHILDREN.
CAN'T SOMEONE ELSE DO THE LOBSTERS?
I HATE THIS PLACE.
THE WUS BEEN OUR FRIENDS FOR--
DECADES. I KNOW, BUT THE SMELL--
- OH. - OK.
BYE, GUYS. THANKS.
NICKY.
BROUGHT YOU SOME SUPPLIES.
THANK YOU.
SHIFU, YOU SHOULDN'T BE LIVING HERE.
HENRY IS BACK AT HIS APARTMENT.
YOU MOVED BACK HOME.
I DO NOT MIND, NICKY, HMM?
IT IS SIMPLE,
NO RENT, AND I AM ALONE,
WHERE I CANNOT HURT ANYONE.
I TOLD YOU, MAMA IS FINE.
SHE DOESN'T BLAME YOU FOR WHAT HAPPENED.
NONE OF US DO.
YOU WON'T HAVE TO STAY HERE LONG.
RYAN AND I ARE WORKING ON IT.
CLEARLY, SMASHING THE PENDANT
DIDN'T GET RID OF XIAO,
BUT WE'LL FIND ANOTHER WAY.
IN THE MEANTIME...
FOR THE REOPENING TONIGHT.
IT WOULD MEAN A LOT TO ME IF YOU WERE THERE.
THANK YOU.
I WILL THINK ABOUT IT.
MM! OH, MY GOD.
IF I KNEW BREAKFAST WOULD TASTE THIS GOOD,
I WOULD'VE MADE SPACE FOR YOU MONTHS AGO.
- MM! - HA HA HA! YEAH?
WELL, BREAKFAST IS JUST A WARMUP.
WHAT?
- TSK.
KING KWONG LIMITED EDITION.
OH, THIS IS DOPE. WAIT.
DID I FORGET AN ANNIVERSARY?
I SAW IT, I KNEW YOU'D LOVE IT.
OHH! HA HA HA!
BESIDES, IT'S HALF FOR ME.
- YES. - HUH?
- YOU LOOK HOT IN IT. - HUH?
- UH-UH! YES. - YEAH.
- OH, BABE... - OH...
GOT TO RUN. BIG DAY.
RIGHT. YOU BETTER BE READY.
YOUR "FIRST DAY BACK AT WORK" GIFT,
IT'S GONNA BLOW YOUR MIND.
- YOU GOT ME SOMETHING? - MM-HMM.
OH, YEAH. OF COURSE I DID.
WELL, THEN I CAN'T WAIT.
WHY DID I DO THAT?
IS THAT YOURS?
WE NEED SOME AIR IN HERE.
- JIN. - HEY.
SO GLAD YOU DECIDED TO JOIN THE TEAM.
PRIMARY CHALLENGE TOOK US OFF GUARD.
WE'VE GOT OUR HANDS FULL.
THIS IS MY CAMPAIGN MANAGER ROBBY.
HE'LL BE PUTTING YOU TO WORK TODAY.
- OH, HELLO. - HI.
ANTHONY TELLS ME YOU HAVE A BACKGROUND
IN COMMUNITY ACTIVISM, SO I'M SURE
YOU'RE AN OLD HAND AT DOOR-TO-DOOR CANVASSING.
CANVASSING?
PUT ONE OF THESE ON OVER YOUR SHIRT,
SOME EXTRAS TO HAND OUT.
I'M ASSUMING THAT YOU HAVE MINIVAN ON YOUR PHONE.
HUH?
IT'S A CANVASSING APP. DOWNLOAD IT.
YOUR ROUTE AND ALL THE ADDRESSES.
I'M STARTING YOU OFF WITH 500 NAMES.
TRY TO HIT THEM ALL.
SYNC YOUR RESULTS TO THE APP EVERY 5 MINUTES
AND MEET US BACK HERE AT 1:00.
GREAT.
- HEY. - HEY.
JUST CAME TO CHECK ON YOU,
SEE HOW YOU'RE FEELING.
LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE GETTING YOUR STRENGTH BACK.
YEAH. UM...
I WAS FEELING PRETTY WEAK
AFTER THE WHOLE GENESIS THING
AND BECOMING THE COMPASS.
GUESS MY BODY HAD TO JUST PROCESS ALL THAT ENERGY.
HAVE YOU LEARNED ANYTHING,
YOU KNOW, WHAT IT ALL MEANS?
I'VE BEEN HITTING THE BOOKS.
ACCORDING TO THE LORE, THERE'S NOTHING
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS AFTER.
I GUESS I'M THE ONLY HUMAN EVER
TO CONTAIN THE POWER OF THE COMPASS,
BUT NOW I KNOW THAT'S WHY MY DAD
ACTED THE WAY THAT HE DID.
MY WHOLE LIFE, HE WAS TRYING TO PROTECT ME.
WELL, YOU DID IT.
YOU FOUND WHAT YOU WERE LOOKING FOR, THE TRUTH.
I'M GLAD YOU'RE FEELING BETTER.
BACK THAT TEMPLE, YOU SAID YOU MOVED ON.
ARE YOU SEEING SOMEONE?
YEAH.
HENRY, I'M STILL HERE FOR YOU.
I STILL CARE ABOUT YOU.
YOU KNOW YOU'LL ALWAYS BE PART OF THE FAMILY.
YEAH.
I KNOW RYAN REACHED OUT ABOUT COMING TONIGHT.
YEAH. YEAH. HE DID, BUT--I DON'T KNOW--
I THINK I-- I THINK I NEED SOME TIME.
OK.
- HEY. - HEY.
- YOU OK? - JUST LEFT HENRY'S.
IT'S LIKE EVERY CONVERSATION,
WE'RE BREAKING UP ALL OVER AGAIN.
YOU TOLD HIM ABOUT BO?
HOW'S BO TAKING ALL OF IT?
I REALLY WOULDN'T KNOW.
WE'VE BARELY TALKED SINCE I GOT BACK FROM THAILAND.
YOU'RE NOT GHOSTING HIM, ARE YOU?
NO. IT'S MORE LIKE A FIZZLE.
I JUST-- I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY
WHEN I GOT BACK, ALL THE HENRY STUFF,
SO I TRIED TO KEEP IT LIGHT.
THEN I WAS TOO LIGHT.
IT GOT TO THE POINT
WHERE WE DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY,
AND BEFORE I KNEW IT, OUR TEXTS JUST DRIED UP.
NOW I CAN'T STOP OVERTHINKING
HOW HE'LL REACT TO WHAT I SAY NEXT.
YES, CARRIE.
WE JUST DID A FINAL CHECK ON THE DELIVERY APP, BUT--
CARRIE, ON PHONE: MEI-LI, IS EVERYTHING OK?
YEAH. I'M GONNA HAVE TO CALL YOU BACK.
- NICKI, THIS IS BAD. - YEAH.
"HOWDY"? YOU DID NOT.
YEAH. I DID.
OK. YOU'VE GOT TO FIX THIS.
I KNOW.
ALL I WANT IS TO SEE HIM AGAIN
AND PICK UP WHERE WE LEFT OFF,
BUT EVERYTHING HAS GOTTEN SO AWKWARD,
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START.
- GIRLS... - MAMA?
COME.
LOOK. BANNER'S GONE, AND WE'VE BEEN VANDALIZED.
WHO WOULD DO THIS?
THEY LEFT A MESSAGE.
"DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT OPENING TONIGHT,
OR THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING."
NOT LIL DUMPY.
MAYBE WE SHOULD POSTPONE THE OPENING,
FIGURE OUT WHO DID THIS.
NO. WE'VE SPENT MONEY ON THE FLIERS.
IT'S ALREADY IN THE PRESS.
KITCHEN'S FULLY STOCKED.
CAN YOU TALK TO CARRIE?
NO. SHE CANNOT GET WIND OF THIS.
CORPORATE IS JUDGING OUR PERFORMANCE
- AT EVERY ANGLE. - OK.
THEN WE OPEN TONIGHT AS PLANNED,
FIND OUT WHO DID THIS, AND STOP THEM
BEFORE THEY PULL ANYTHING ELSE.
WHERE DO WE START?
BUILD A SUSPECT LIST.
MAMA, DO YOU HAVE ANY ENEMIES
WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?
ENEMIES? NO.
MM, I CAN THINK OF ONE.
I HOPE NOTHING GOES WRONG TOMORROW.
MELODY.
BRO, YOU DON'T GET IT.
I PROMISED AN AMAZING GIFT, AND I'VE GOT NOTHING.
- I'M SCREWED. - SORRY, BRO.
I CAN'T RELATE. GIFTS ARE EASY.
IF YOU LOVE SOMEONE, YOU KNOW WHAT THEY LOVE.
YEAH, YEAH, DENNIS SOONG, KING OF GIFTS.
WHY DO YOU THINK I'M CALLING YOU?
JUST KEEP IT SIMPLE.
SEB'S A CHEF, PASSIONATE ABOUT HIS CRAFT.
WHAT WOULD A CHEF WANT?
AH, DUDE, UH...LIKE, A FORK? A SPATULA!
ARE YOU EVEN TRYING RIGHT NOW?
RIGHT. RIGHT. RIGHT.
SEB'S BEEN GOING ON ABOUT THIS HANDMADE CHEF'S KNIFE--
SUPER RARE, HIGHEST CRAFTSMANSHIP IN THE WORLD...
A KUBOMOTO.
THERE YOU GO. EASY.
HARDLY, DUDE.
THOSE THINGS ARE MADE TO ORDER IN JAPAN,
TAKES 8 WEEKS MINIMUM, AND THEY'RE SUPER EXPENSIVE.
HELLO? WHERE'D YOU GO?
STILL HERE, SENDING YOU A LINK.
"KUBOMOTO. USED BUT PRISTINE.
FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED."
ALL RIGHT, DENNIS!
YOU REALLY ARE THE KING. I OWE YOU MY LIFE.
HAPPY TO HELP.
OH, OH, WAIT. HEY, HEY, HEY.
I TOOK BART TO WORK. CAN YOU GIVE ME A LIFT?
OHH...
HEY, EXCUSE ME. HI.
MY NAME IS JIN SHEN,
AND I WORK WITH ANTHONY CHAN,
OUR DISTRICT SUPERVISOR,
SO I'M REACHING OUT TO ALL THE VOTERS--
HE'S NOT GETTING MY VOTE THIS TIME. SORRY.
OH, I'M SORRY. MAY I ASK WHY?
WELL, FOR STARTERS, THIS TRASH SITUATION,
IT'S FIRST THING MY CLIENTS SEE.
YOU KNOW, I CAN FILE A SERVICE REQUEST.
- I ALREADY DID... - YOU DID?
- 4 WEEKS AGO. - OH.
JUST A SEC. OK. HANG ON. HANG ON. ONE SECOND.
ONE SECOND. DON'T GO AWAY.
HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT? LET ME HELP YOU RIGHT NOW.
LET'S PUT SOME OF THOSE LITTLE BOXES
IN THE BIG BOX AND HAUL IT AWAY.
- WHAT DO YOU THINK? - REALLY?
YEAH. COME ON. LET'S GO.
ALL RIGHT.
MELODY STOLE MY LINE COOK.
SHE COPIED MY MENU DESIGN.
SHE IMITATED MY BRAND.
HARMONY DUMPLINGS, MELODY DUMPLINGS.
ISN'T HER NAME MELODY?
SHE PROBABLY CHANGED IT. THE WOMAN IS SHAMELESS.
MEI-LI, QUICK QUESTION.
WHAT HAPPENED HERE?
EXECUTIVE DECISION, HAD TO BE DONE.
SMART.
SO THE LOBSTER SPECIAL, IT'S ALL OVER SOCIAL,
BUT I JUST SAW THE LOBSTER TANK.
IT'S EMPTY.
OH. I'M ALL OVER IT.
YEAH. NICKI WAS JUST ABOUT TO GRAB THE VAN.
GREAT.
WELL, I GOT TO SWING BY THE OFFICE.
I'LL SEE YOU ALL TONIGHT.
SURE. NICKY, GRAB THOSE LOBSTERS.
ALTHEA, HOLD DOWN THE FORT.
SEB AND I ARE GONNA PAY AN OLD FRIEND A LITTLE VISIT.
- KAI. - YEAH?
WE'RE HERE FOR THE KUBOMOTO.
BEAUTIFUL, ISN'T SHE?
OOH, HOO HOO! HELL YEAH. SEB'S GONNA FLIP.
YOU GOT PROOF OF AUTHENTICITY?
WHAT PROOF YOU NEED? JUST LOOK AT IT.
YOU CAN'T FAKE THAT ARTISTRY.
PRETTY LOW PRICE FOR A KUBOMOTO.
IN A "NEED CASH FAST" SITUATION, OK?
WAIT. YOU A DOCTOR?
UH, YEAH.
DEAL'S CHANGED.
IT'S CLEAR YOU WANT THIS BAD.
I'M GONNA NEED SOMETHING A LITTLE EXTRA.
YOU CAN'T JUST CHANGE THE TERMS.
BUYING KNIVES OUT OF A STRANGER'S TRUNK
IS A LOT LIKE LOVE.
THERE ARE NO RULES. LOOK.
I'M IN A SITUATION, OK? WIFE'S OUT OF TOWN.
I MAY HAVE SLIPPED MY RING OFF
FOR A NIGHT OR TWO, AND THE RING, WELL,
ENDED UP INSIDE HANZO.
WHAT'SA HANZO?
NOT A WHAT, A WHO--
WIFE'S PUREBRED ENGLISH BULLDOG.
BOY LICKED THE RING CLEAN OFF THE NIGHTSTAND.
OH, YOU--
OLD LADY COMES HOME AND I'M ROCKING THIS RINGLESS,
I'M COOKED.
PLAN WAS, SELL THE KNIFE
TO PAY THE VET TO GET THE RING.
THAT OPENS UP A WHOLE NEW CAN OF WORMS
BECAUSE I GOT TO EXPLAIN THE STITCHES.
ONE LOOK AT THOSE NIMBLE DOCTOR DIGITS OF YOURS,
AND I GOT A NEW PLAN.
YOU GET THE RING OUT OF HANZO,
THIS BEAUTY'S ALL YOURS.
SHOULDN'T TAKE TOO LONG. RING'S CLOSE TO PASSING.
HOW COULD YOU KNOW THAT?
GOT A METAL DETECTOR.
OK. WE'RE OUT OF HERE.
WAIT. YOU CAN'T REALLY BE CONSIDERING THIS.
I'M GETTING SEB THAT KNIFE.
TAKE ME TO HANZO.
MEI-LI: JUST ADMIT IT.
YOU'VE HAD IT OUT FOR ME EVER SINCE YOU OPENED
AND LAST NIGHT TAUNTING ME WITH THAT ORCHID.
- THAT WAS A GIFT. - OHH...
MELODY, IF YOU JUST CONFESS,
WE WON'T HAVE TO PRESS CHARGES.
CHARGES FOR WHAT? I'M INNOCENT.
THAT BANNER WAS 25 YEARS OLD,
AND YOU STOLE IT.
AND YOU DESTROYED LIL DUMPY.
YEAH, THAT, TOO.
WHERE WERE YOU THIS MORNING?
OH, I KNOW MY RIGHTS.
I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU ANYTHING.
HEY, WHAT'S IN THE TRASH CAN?
NOTHING. WAIT!
IS THAT MY BANNER?
UM...NO.
"PRODUCE FOR LESS"?
MELODY, THAT'S WHAT YOU WERE HIDING?
RECEIPT SAYS 9:24 A.M.
SHE WAS SHOPPING WHEN THE BANNER WAS STOLEN.
SHE'S INNOCENT.
OH, MELODY, I--
I'M SORRY FOR THE MISUNDERSTANDING.
HEY, NICKY. YEAH. WE GOT IT WRONG.
- IT'S NOT MELODY. - YEP.
JUST REALIZED THAT MYSELF.
WHOEVER'S THREATENING US ISN'T AFTER MAMA.
THEY ARE AFTER ME.
SO YOU'RE THE TARGET?
THAT'S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
IT'S GOT TO BE REVENGE--
TARGET THE FAMILY BUSINESS TO GET BACK AT ME.
WE GOT TO FIGURE OUT WHO IT IS.
- I CAN HELP. - NO, NO, NO.
WE OPEN IN 4 HOURS. I NEED YOU TO GO TO THE BANK.
VAN'S IN THE SHOP,
AND RYAN'S NOT PICKING UP THE PHONE.
YEAH. HE'S BUSY.
DON'T ASK. ON IT, MAMA SHEN.
- ALL RIGHT. - THANKS FOR THE RIDE.
ALTHEA?
UM, CAN YOU SPARE ME, MAMA?
WHOSE LEMONS ARE THESE?
I'LL TAKE THAT AS YES.
WE PUT TOGETHER A LIST OF PEOPLE
WHO MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST YOU.
IT'S PRETTY LONG.
HIT ME. I'M READY.
114 KNOWN ENEMIES.
OH, GOD.
IN A WAY, IT'S IMPRESSIVE. YOU'RE LIKE BATMAN.
HOW ARE WE GONNA NARROW THEM DOWN?
WE CAN ELIMINATE A LOT OF THEM--
OUT OF STATE, IN JAIL, OR...DEAD.
A FEW ARE ON THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW NOW, REFORMED.
GOOD FOR THEM. OH! REMEMBER VOSTOK?
WE CAUGHT HIM WITH YIPS' JEWELRY
AT THAT OLD AMUSEMENT PARK.
- WHAT WAS THAT CALLED? - DINOLAND.
YES. THAT WAS REALLY FUN.
NO TIME FOR NOSTALGIA.
WE NEED TO FIGURE THIS OUT.
RIGHT.
MR. SHEN, YOU MISSED YOUR 1 P.M. CHECK-IN.
YOUR LOCATION ON THE APP WENT DARK.
I TURNED OFF THE PHONE.
ONE OF OUR CONSTITUENTS NEEDED HELP,
SO I HELPED HER.
INSTEAD OF HITTING YOUR ASSIGNED CONTACTS?
EVERY OTHER VOLUNTEER HIT THEIR TARGET.
WELL, I HIT MY OWN--
FRESH NAMES, FRESH ADDRESSES.
PUT THAT IN YOUR CAP.
HOW?
THE PERSON I WAS HELPING WAS GOING
TO A PROFESSIONAL LUNCHEON.
97 IN-DISTRICT VOTERS ALL PLEDGED
TO SUPPORT ANTHONY IN THE PRIMARY.
WELL, YOUR TARGET WAS A HUNDRED,
SO WE'LL SEE WHAT ANTHONY HAS TO SAY
ABOUT YOUR UNDERPERFORMANCE TODAY.
JOSLIP SLAVO'S STILL LOCKED UP.
AMON'S OUT, TOO--
PASSPORT FLAGGED IN COSTA RICA.
CHECK THIS OUT.
I FOUND A SOCIAL MEDIA POST FROM THAT MASTER DRAKE GUY.
UHH!
HE CALLED YOU OUT, NICKY,
SAID YOU RUINED HIS SCHOOL
AND DESTROYED HIS REPUTATION.
OK. IT'S NOT MY FAULT HE WAS RUNNING
A BOGUS MARTIAL ARTS ACADEMY.
WELL, CLEARLY HE'S HOLDING A GRUDGE.
AND HE WAS NEVER ARRESTED.
HE'S A VIABLE SUSPECT.
WE'VE GOT ONE MORE--
OUR OLD FRIEND LEIF WINZIG.
I'M NOT GOING BACK TO SAN QUENTIN.
CLEMENTINE!
HEY!
AGH! UH! UGH!
- OH! - OH! HOO!
YEAH, BUT HE'S STILL IN JAIL.
I MEAN, HE COULD BE RUNNING THE SABOTAGE
FROM THE INSIDE, BUT HE'D HAVE TO HAVE
A PRETTY BIG GRUDGE TO BOTHER.
WELL...
WHAT?
HE HAS BEEN SENDING ME DEATH THREATS FROM JAIL.
YOU DIDN'T THINK TO MENTION THAT?
I JUST-- I DIDN'T TAKE HIM SERIOUSLY.
LET'S PAY HIM A VISIT, SEE IF HE'S OUR GUY.
I'LL PUT IN A CALL TO SAN QUENTIN,
PULL A FAVOR WITH THE WARDEN.
ALL RIGHT. WHAT ABOUT MASTER DRAKE?
HOW DO WE TRACK HIM DOWN?
WELL, IF I COULD STILL USE A COMPUTER,
I WOULD JUST HACK DRAKE'S POST,
USE AN NMAP TOOL TO PULL UP AN IP ADDRESS, AND--
- GUYS! - OH, RIGHT. HEH.
- EVAN? - OH, YES.
THE NMAP TOOL WOULD SHOW ANY VULNERABILITIES
IN AN OPEN PORT, LIKE FTP.
THEN I WOULD RUN A SCRIPT AND BRUTE-FORCE
THE ADMIN. PASSWORD TO LOOK FOR HIS LOCATION
IN THE METADATA.
ONCE YOU FIND THAT, YOU CAN LOOK INTO HIS LOCATION--
ALTHEA, I'M NOT AS FAST AS YOU.
I WILL WRITE IT DOWN.
DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME.
WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO SPLIT THIS UP.
LEIF BLEW UP CLEMENTINE. HE'S MINE.
ALTHEA SHEN.
TO WHAT DO I OWE THE PLEASURE?
JUST WANT TO TALK.
ABOUT WHAT?
MY SISTER.
I KNOW YOU'RE STILL MAD SHE TOOK DOWN YOUR OPERATION,
LANDING YOU HERE.
I KNOW ABOUT YOUR LETTERS.
SINCE WHEN IS IT A CRIME TO WRITE LETTERS?
YEAH, BUT, SEE, I DON'T THINK YOU STOPPED THERE.
HMM...
WE GOT YOUR MESSAGE, LEIF.
YOU'VE BEEN MESSING WITH THE FAMILY BUSINESS.
I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DID IT,
BUT I KNOW YOU'RE OBSESSED WITH NICKY.
WELL, SPEAKING OF OBSESSIONS,
REMEMBER YOURS-- YOUR BABY, YOUR LOVE,
YOUR DARLING CLEMENTINE?
HOW'D YOU EVEN GET THAT IN HERE?
I HEARD YOU MIGHT BE PAYING ME A VISIT,
AND I HAVE MY WAYS.
NOW, IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME, ALTHEA,
I'M FEELING A BIT PECKISH.
I'M IN.
EVAN, ON PHONE: ANY SIGN OF MASTER DRAKE?
NOT YET.
THIS IS THE LOCATION WE PULLED OFF THE METADATA.
MAYBE HE MOVED ON.
- SHE HURT ME. - OH, I SEE HIM.
SHE TOOK EVERYTHING THAT I HAD.
WE HAVE ONE THING IN COMMON--
OUR PAIN...
DEREK WILMOT, IF YOU EVER MESS WITH THEM AGAIN,
YOU'LL BE ARRESTED.
GOT IT.
OUR ANGER...
ALLEGRA CALDWELL AND KENDALL BURTON.
- CUT IT OUT. - UH! YAH!
OUR THIRST FOR REVENGE
AGAINST THE WOMAN THAT DID THIS TO US--
UH! OOH!
NICKY SHEN.
- THAT'S RIGHT. - YEAH.
- YEAH! - OH, I HATE HER.
THE WAY SHE HANDLED, HOW SHE TOOK A TURN,
THE RESPONSIVENESS OF HER BRAKES, MM!
I TELL YOU, THEY DON'T MAKE CARS
LIKE CLEMENTINE ANYMORE.
STOP.
IT MUST BURN KNOWING
THAT I WAS THE LAST ONE TO DRIVE HER.
AFTER ALL YOUR EFFORTS,
YOU NEVER EVEN GOT THE CHANGE TO SAY GOOD-BYE,
WELL, NOT BEFORE-- PKHOO!
TELL ME, ALTHEA,
WHAT ARE YOU DRIVING THESE DAYS--
BUBBLE-SHAPED HYBRID?
WAIT. AN AMERICAN CAR?
I DON'T HAVE A CAR. I CAN'T REPLACE CLEMENTINE.
EVEN IF I WANTED TO, I CAN'T AFFORD IT.
I LOST MY JOB. I LOST MY HOME.
I'M A COMPLETE FAILURE.
NOW I JUST HELP MY PARENTS AT THEIR BUSINESS--
SHEN FAMILY DRY CLEANERS.
WOW. THAT'S--MM.
POOR ALTHEA SHEN, RIGHT BACK
WHERE SHE STARTED, THE OLD FAMILY BUSINESS.
GOTCHA. MY FAMILY OWNS A RESTAURANT.
I KNEW THAT.
NO, YOU DIDN'T, BUT YOU WOULD'VE
IF YOU WERE THE ONE REALLY MESSING WITH US.
MM, LEIF, YOU'RE NO MASTERMIND.
YOU'RE JUST BORED. HMM.
WAIT. WAIT. DON'T GO.
OH, AND NICE TRY,
BUT...THAT'S A TANGERINE.
OHH, OK, EVAN. HE IS NOT ALONE.
EVAN, ON PHONE: WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
AND OUR ANGER DOESN'T DEFINE US.
HE USED THOSE SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS
TO BRING A BUNCH OF MY FORMER ENEMIES TOGETHER.
IT'S WHAT WE DO WITH OUR ANGER.
KENDALL, CAN YOU SHARE WITH US
WHY YOU CALLED THIS MEETING TODAY?
THIS MORNING, I SAW MY DAD'S NEWSPAPER,
AND THERE WAS AN ARTICLE ABOUT HER FAMILY.
THERE WAS A PHOTO OF THAT INSUFFERABLE,
HOLIER-THAN-THOU SMILE OF HERS.
I GOT SO MAD, I HAD TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT,
SO I GOT INTO MY DAD'S CAR,
AND I DROVE RIGHT DOWN TO THE RESTAURANT.
I WANTED REVENGE SO BAD, I COULD TASTE IT.
WHAT DID YOU DO NEXT?
I TEXTED YOU.
YOU TALKED ME DOWN, AND I CAME HERE.
YOU DID THE RIGHT THING, KENDALL.
THE PROGRAM IS WORKING.
WE'RE ALL HERE TO SUPPORT EACH OTHER'S JOURNEYS
AND TO HELP CONTROL OUR ANGER.
WHAT VIRTUE IS THAT?
- VIRTUE 8. - VIRTUE 8.
YOU'VE ALL MADE GREAT STRIDES IN TRAVERSING
THE HEALING- FROM-ANGER PYRAMID,
BUT ONLY THOSE THAT SUBSCRIBE
TO THE PREMIUM PROGRAM CAN TRULY REACH
THE APEX OF INNER PEACE.
YES, SHIFU.
OK, EVAN. IT IS NOT THEM.
HOW DO YOU KNOW?
THEY'RE NOT PLANNING ANYTHING.
THEY'RE JUST WHINING.
DRAKE'S GOT A NEW GRIFT
AND A WHOLE NEW GROUP OF FOLLOWERS.
HEY.
WHAT IS SHE DOING HERE?
SORRY TO INTERRUPT.
OH, MAN, SO GOOD TO SEE YOU GUYS AGAIN--
DRAKE LOOKING SHARP WITH THOSE NEW THREADS
AND KENDALL-- LOVE THE BLONDE--
D-MAN, AND...
BENNY!
BENNY. RIGHT. HUH.
IT'S SO GREAT THAT YOU GUYS
ARE WORKING ON ALL THIS ANGER STUFF.
SERIOUSLY, KUDOS, SO DON'T MIND ME.
I'M JUST GONNA EXIT THAT DOOR.
MASTER DRAKE, I'M FEELING IT AGAIN, THE RAGE.
I ONLY ANSWERED YOUR POST BECAUSE I THOUGHT
WE WOULD BE GETTING BACK AT HER.
I TRIED IT YOUR WAY, DRAKE, BUT LOOK AT THAT FACE,
THAT SMUG, PUNCHABLE FACE.
HEY.
YOU DISLOCATED MY SHOULDER.
YOU BROKE UP MY WHOLE CREW.
THAT'S ON ME.
STUDENTS, PLEASE CALM DOWN.
REMEMBER THE VIRTUES.
YEAH. LISTEN TO YOUR SHIFU, GUYS.
I HAVE BEEN.
VIRTUE ONE--WE ALL DESERVE A SECOND CHANCE.
YEAH, A SECOND CHANCE TO KICK YOUR ASS.
- UH! - WHOA!
OH, THAT'S REAL THERAPY. GET HER!
AAGH!
AAGH! OOH!
- UH! - AAGH!
UH! OH!
- UH! - OH! MY EYE!
- HUH! - EH!
UH! OHH...
HUH. AH! YAH!
- WAAH! - AGH!
- HUH! - AAH!
WAAH!
OHH...
AAH!
OW! OHH...
SORRY FOR YOUR RELAPSE.
GONNA BE SORE TOMORROW.
TWICE NOW YOU HAVE MADE A FOOL OUT OF ME,
UNWOUND EVERYTHING I'VE PAINSTAKINGLY BUILT,
BRINGS TO MIND VIRTUE NUMBER 22--
LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES.
OH! OOH! UH!
RYAN?
ARE YOU OK?
I'LL NEVER BE OK AGAIN.
IS SEB HERE?
NO. HE JUST STEPPED OUT.
OH, GOOD.
I NEED SOMEWHERE TO HIDE THIS FROM HIM.
IT'S A GIFT.
A KNIFE AS A GIFT.
RYAN, YOU KNOW THAT'S BAD LUCK.
WELL, I'LL GIVE HIM A PENNY.
OH... BY THE REGISTER.
HE NEVER GOES THERE.
OH, AND, YOU KNOW,
PUT THIS OUT IN FRONT, AS WELL,
AND THEN COME BACK TO HELP
BECAUSE I NEED TO GET READY
FOR FRONT OF HOUSE.
OK.
THE HANDWRITING IS THE SAME.
OH...
WE WILL LET YOU KNOW BEFORE TOMORROW.
MEI-LI?
HELLO, MEI-LI. REMEMBER ME?
TRACY, RIGHT?
YOU INTERVIEWED FOR THE LINE COOK POSITION.
LOOK, TRACY. I'M REALLY SORRY YOU DIDN'T GET THE JOB.
LIAR!
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
I WANT TO TAKE AWAY YOUR BIG NIGHT,
TO HURT YOU LIKE YOU HURT ME.
UM...BACK TO YOU STATION, GUYS.
- KEEP COOKING. - I TOLD YOU NOT TO OPEN.
I'M SORRY, TRACY, BUT WE ARE OPENING TONIGHT.
KUBOMOTO. NICE.
I ALWAYS DREAMED OF A KNIFE LIKE THIS...
OF WORKING IN A RESTAURANT LIKE THIS
WITH A CHEF LIKE YOU.
HEY, MAMA.
YOU.
YOU'RE THE ONE WHO KILLED MY DREAM.
I-- WHO ARE YOU?
TRACY IS A CHEF.
SHE CAME HERE LAST NIGHT.
OK.
YOU DON'T EVEN REMEMBER
THE MOMENT YOU STOLE MY FUTURE FROM ME?
MAYBE JOG MY MEMORY.
YESTERDAY WAS THE MOST HOPEFUL DAY OF MY LIFE.
IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE DAY I GOT MY FIRST JOB.
I JUST KNEW I WAS GONNA GET IT.
I WAS NICE TO THE OTHER CANDIDATES,
BUT I KNEW THEY WERE JUST AMATEURS,
NOT LIKE ME.
I'M THE REAL DEAL.
THEN YOU WALTZED IT, ALL MY WORK, MY ONE SHOT.

MEI-LI: OOH, LOOKS LIKE TRACY IS A NO.
I'VE BEEN REJECTED FROM OTHER RESTAURANTS BEFORE,
BUT NOT LIKE THAT.
I'M SORRY.

COOKING IS ALL I'VE EVER LOVED.
THERE WILL BE OTHER JOBS,
BUT TONIGHT,
THIS IS OUR ONE OPENING NIGHT,
SO PUT THE KNIFE DOWN, PLEASE.
- OK. - OK.

I NEED YOU TO SAY IT.
Y-YES. YEAH.
IT WAS SO YUMMY,
IT WAS THE BEST DUMPLING I'VE EVER HAD,
LIKE FLAVORTOWN IN MY MOUTH.
UMAMI, LIKE, YOU HIT IT,
AND I WISHED THAT THERE WAS MORE THAN ONE.
I'M SORRY. I'M A REALLY BAD LIAR.

CARRIE, IT'S A CRAZY STORY.
MEI-LI, I HAVE BEEN THROUGH
A LOT OF OPENING NIGHTS, NONE QUITE LIKE THIS,
BUT WE'VE GOT CUSTOMERS LINED UP AROUND THE BLOCK.
PRESS IS SCHEDULED TO SHOW,
GOT AN ENTIRE DINNER SERVICE TO PREPARE
IN ONE HOUR.
OK, EVERYONE.
LET'S GET TO WORK.
J.M3: ♪ HOT SAUCE, LICKING MY CLAWS ♪
LET'S GET YOU BOTH PATCHED UP.
I TRIED TO TELL HER,
NOT EVERYONE IS MEANT TO BE A COOK.
IT NEVER MADE SENSE.
SHE'S SO NATURALLY ATHLETIC.
YEAH. I NOTICED THAT.
THANK YOU FOR NOT PRESSING CHARGES.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
J.M3: ♪ NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA ♪

THE TOFU WITH THE MUSTARD WASABI...
OK, PERFECT.
IT SOUNDS DELICIOUS.
MAMA LOOKS SO HAPPY,
AND NONE OF THE GUESTS HAVE ANY IDEA.
NOT A CLUE... EXCEPT FOR MY HANDS.
I'LL NEVER GET THIS LOBSTER SMELL OUT.
SO HAVE YOU TEXTED BO, YET?
NO, BUT I'M READY.
TODAY SHOWED ME YOU CAN'T CONTROL
HOW PEOPLE WILL REACT TO YOUR WORDS.
EVERYTHING HAPPENED BECAUSE SOMEONE
I'VE NEVER EVEN MET OVERHEARD SOMETHING
I BARELY REMEMBER SAYING.
I CAN'T OVERTHINK IT,
JUST HAVE TO START THE CONVERSATION.
THAT SOUNDS LIKE A VERY SMART IDEA.
MM. EVEN THE RICE IS GORGEOUS.
HOW'S EVERYONE ENJOYING THE FOOD?
- OH, BABE, IT IS DELICIOUS. - IT IS BEAUTIFUL.
GLAD TO HEAR IT.
SO YOU GONNA TELL ME HOW YOU GOT YOUR HANDS
ON A REAL KUBOMOTO?
UH...
NEVER...
AND HOW IN THE WORLD
ARE YOU EVER GONNA REPAY ME?
I GOT SOME IDEAS. ENJOY, EVERYONE.
EVAN...
YEAH?
YOU SHOULD HIRE ME.
YOU NEED AN INVESTIGATOR, AND TODAY I REALIZED
I'VE GOT THE CHOPS.
I'M GREAT WITH RESEARCH.
I'M A GOOD PEOPLE PERSON, AND TURNS OUT,
I CAN CRACK CRIMINALS LIKE AN EGG.
I KNOW MY HANDS ARE TIED
BECAUSE I CAN'T USE THE INTERNET,
BUT I CAN FEED YOU THE INSTRUCTIONS
IN CASE WE NEED TO HACK ANYTHING,
SO WHAT DO YOU THINK?
YOU'VE BEEN SAYING YOU NEED AN INVESTIGATOR
AND HOW IMPRESSED YOU WERE WITH ALTHEA TODAY.
YEAH. YES.
IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW I CAN'T PAY MUCH RIGHT NOW.
EVAN, I'M LIVING AT HOME.
I NEED A PAYCHECK, ANY PAYCHECK.
WELL, IN THAT CASE, IT'S A DEAL.
