Nicky.
Nicky? Nicky!

What happened?

Evan?
Oh.

Oh, god.
I saw you leave.

When you didn't come back,
I went looking.

Who did this to you?

Zhilan.

Zhilan?
She was here? How...

I was tracking
one of the weapons.

It was in
the museum basement.

That's why you
were here tonight.

Yeah.

We need to get you
checked out.

No. I'll be ok.

- We're going to the hospital.
- No.

At least let me
call Ryan.

No.
He can't see me like this.

No one can.

Nicky,
you are hurt.

It wasn't supposed
to happen this way.

I was supposed
to beat her.

I failed.

Please just get me
out of here.

Nicky?

Nicky!

Pei-ling
murdered our father.

You believe
you are the only one

with a difficult family.

Zhilan said pei-ling
killed their father.

Do you believe her?
I don't know.

But pei-ling
had her secrets.

I feel like...

Maybe she wasn't
who I thought she was.

Maybe I didn't
know her at all.

Are you taking me
to the...

Yeah.

Put a lot of work
into it since you left.

Good place to rest
and heal.

Wow.

I remember
when that wall

still had a tree
growing through it.

Roots shot
through the pipes.

Had to rip them out,
start from scratch. Here.

Ok. Let me
get you some ice.

You can stay here
as long as you want.

There's a mountain
of old clothes.

There's plenty of food.
It's mostly canned stuff.

You don't need
to sell me

on the hartley
family cabin.

Seems to be
the only place

we could ever get away
from my parents.

Ha. Mine, too.
They had no idea

how many times
we snuck out here.

Ok. Here we go.

Sorry.

I just need some time.

I'll text althea
to cover for me

so my parents
don't worry and...

I'll see Ryan tomorrow.

I promise.

You haven't replaced
the bed.

Still squeaky as hell?

Oh, yeah.

I should, uh,
get back to sabine.

Yeah. Is she still
at the museum?

Um, no.
She, um, left early.

I got it.

Um... I'll check
on you later.

Hey, thank you.
For letting me crash.

Uh, no worries.
Good night.

Good night.

Doubt is
a poison, Nicky.

No, shifu.

Do not succumb
to doubt.

You're still
on the right path.

Please, just... I can't
hear it right now.

Not from you.

All I want are answers.

Answers you
can't give me.

Why not, my child?

Because you're not real!

Is what zhilan
said true?

Did you murder
your father?

For 3 years,
I trusted you.

I confided in you.
I believed you.

Even now, I'm fighting
your battles,

trying to track
these weapons

to stop zhilan.

I'm not doing it anymore.

Zhilan, the sword...
I'm done.

You're in pain.

I wish I could help you.

You can.

Leave me alone.

*KUNG FU (2021)*
Season 01 Episode 07

Episode Title: "The Ventrexian"
Aired on: May 23, 2021.

Speaking Mandarin...

Speaking Mandarin...

Speaking Mandarin...

Ok.
Good news.

Your ribs aren't broken.

Bad news... they're
bruised, like, hella bad.

Is "hella"
a medical term?

Nicky, don't joke.

Is she gonna be ok?

You'll need to restrict
movement for a week,

maybe two.

No exercises,
no training,

- no kung fu.
- Mm.

If you do that,
she'll be fully healed

in a month.
I mean, physically.

So, what's that
supposed to mean?

It means I'm worried.

We both are.

- Nicky, everything that
- I told you...

- I'm fine.
- Well, if you're not gonna open up to

family, you should
at least talk to Henry.

He's been
asking about you.

I know.

He cares about you.

You haven't talked
to him since last night.

- Nicky.
- Hey.

You're hurt.

It... it's fine.
I'm fine. Um.

I mean, it feels
like I got

hit by a truck, and I
lost us the dagger, but...

I'm just glad
you're alive.

I've been worried.

I know.
I should've called.

It's ok.

We've got a lot
to talk about.

Zhilan, what happened,
but, um...

I've gotta meet
someone right now.

Oh... yeah... we'll
just talk later.

Actually, I was thinking
you could come along.

An old friend of mine.
He's got a problem.

He could use our help.

The guy on the flyer,
that's master Drake.

My sister Phoebe joined his
new American school last year.

She sold everything she had.
Cashed out her bank account.

Two months ago,
she moved into

the training center
full-time.

Last week, she cut ties
with my family.

Won't even
answer my calls.

Phoebe's always had
a tough relationship

with our parents, but...

We were always close.

Did she say why?

Apparently, Drake
wants his disciples

to put kung fu
above all else.

Last time I saw her,
she looked roughed up.

Big bruise
on her cheek.

I've been
asking around the local

martial arts communities.

Rumor is, Drake's students

have been ending up
in the E.R...

Concussions, broken bones.

Whatever's going on
at that school,

he's driving
his students hard.

It's like Phoebe takes
whatever Drake says as law.

He's filling her head
with lies.

I mean, he's her shifu.

She trusts him
completely,

no matter how dangerous
things get.

There's an open training
session at the school tonight.

We were thinking you'd be a
good person to feel her out,

try to get through
to her,

but if you're not
feeling up to it...

I'll do it.
It's a Shaolin school.

It should be me.

Zhilan? Zhilan!

It's been too long, uncle.

I saw your car outside.

I couldn't believe
you took time

from your busy
Hong Kong life.

What brings you
back home?

Well, I've been
thinking about father,

and... I missed
this place.

Well, we will
catch up.

You will tell me
everything about

your big, fancy life.
Now, sit!

It's cold in here.
I'll start a fire.

- Aah!
- Uhh!

Pei-ling.

Oh!

Speaking Mandarin...

Baba!

Baba.

Mama, hey.

Hey. Where'd you
go last night?

Didn't althea tell you
I crashed at her place?

- What's that?
- Nothing.

No... no...

Face-planted in althea's
heels last night.

She insisted I try on

outfits for
the rehearsal dinner.

Nicky, that is not nothing.

Mama, please, it's fine.
I'm fine.

But I'm running late.

Althea needs me to
pick up party favors.

So, I'll talk
to you later.

Hey, if you
turn your hips,

you'll have more power.

You try.

Uhh!

Thanks for the tip.

- Yeah.
- ou're new here.

Where do you
normally train?

China.
I spent 3 years

at a Shaolin Monastery
in Yunnan.

- Phoebe.

Are you looking for a place
to train or instruct?

Actually, i'm
here to see you.

Your brother's
worried about you.

My brother needs to
mind his own business.

He said you cut off

all connection with
him, your family.

Yeah, my family's
made clear they don't

support my training.

It seems intense.

How'd you get that
bruise on your face?

You lose focus,
you come unprepared,

you get knocked down.

Heard that happens
a lot here.

People getting hurt.

Training's intense,
but it's legit.

Master Drake saved me.

After I was discharged
from the army,

I... had nothing.

I was lost.

He gave me
a second chance.

Ok, look, I'm not here
to pass judgment.

But kung fu
should be about

following your own path,
not someone else's,

even if that person
is your shifu.

Sometimes I wish I would've
asked more questions

instead of blindly
following my teacher.

For me, there is
only one path.

If I don't stay focused,

I will never master
tsoi-hung.

Tsoi-hung?

Once a student
completes the trials,

they attain tsoi-hung.

It's the highest tier
of master Drake's training.

Few students make it
but... I'm close.

Reaching this tier...
How much does it cost?

It's worth it.

Where is master Drake?

I'd love to speak with him.

Master Drake,
this is Nicky Shen.

She trained with
the shaolins in China.

Welcome to the new
American school, Nicky Shen.

Thanks.

She's interested in
learning about tsoi-hung.

Yeah. 3 years
at a Shaolin monastery

and I've never
heard of it.

The source of my wisdom

is a secret
not for the uninitiated.

No freebies, huh?

What can I say? Tsoi-hung
is the culmination

of a series of trials

to prepare the students

for the deepest secrets
of kung fu.

Each one of my
students determines

what steps and sacrifices

are necessary
to attain their goals.

Phoebe is one of
my strongest students.

Her focus, her discipline,

and the rapid development
of her gifts

is a testament
to the choices

that she has made.

Well, call me impressed.

Um, I'm willing
to keep an open mind

if you're willing
to show me.

I'd love to learn more.

As an experienced Shaolin,

I'll waive your
initiation fee

and you can participate
in the first trial.

That way, you will get
to experience directly

just how hard
my disciples train.

It would be my honor.

Perfect.

We'll see you
tomorrow night at 8.

I missed you.

Last time you were home,

you left in
such a hurry.

I apologize, uncle.

After I saw you
at the festival,

I came back here
and I had

an unexpected visitor.

Speaking Mandarin...

Speaking Mandarin...

Any luck? Henry
said it's the only reference

to tsoi-hung he could
find online.

Do you know how many
laws I'm breaking right now?

No backseat driving.

So, you talked to Henry.

How'd he feel about
you sleeping over

at Evan's last night?

It didn't come up.

We're both kind of
busy right now,

trying to help this girl.

The perfect distraction.

Oh! Found it.

It's some sort of
livestream site.

Let's see.

There's over
50,000 subscribers.

Pay to view.

Site goes live
a few times a week.

What are those?

Links to old streams.

Ok.

That's a ring
at the school.

Drake's profiting
off these fights.

No protection,
no refs, no rules.

That's why his
students get hurt.

Uhh. From the angle,
I guess they don't even

know they're being filmed.

They want to impress him,
achieve some

made-up reward
he calls tsoi-hung.

Wait, that's Phoebe.

Ohh.

We gotta get her
outta there

before it's too late.

The tsoi-hung trials
are a scam.

They're just bait to get
bodies in the ring.

Looks like they're
making huge profits.

Guess there's a real market
on the dark web

for watching people beat
the crap out of each other.

That's illegal, right?

I mean, there have
got to be laws.

About a dozen.

California has
some of the strictest

fight regulations
in the country,

not to mention the illegal
gambling aspect.

The video source code
is mega encrypted.

Oh, and no way
the school has

the bandwidth to run
things from there.

There's gotta be
some sort of remote hq.

The trials happen
at the school, but

it's being broadcast
from another location?

Yup. Someone's
running this thing

from some sort of
off-site server.

Drake's keeping
his hands clean.

We want to bring
this guy down,

that's where we hit him...
In the server, the site.

There's a case to be built.

I could kick it up
the chain in my office.

No. Drake's got Phoebe

and the rest of his
students under his thumb.

Phoebe, any of the others,

could get hurt,
or worse.

- We're not waiting.
- Ok.

Then althea's gonna have
to trace the servers,

in real time,
while the site is live.

That's your
smoking gun.

You said the source code
was mega encrypted,

but mega doesn't
mean impossible.

Those hidden cameras
are connected

to local Wi-Fi,
so, in theory,

I could hack
into the network

and backtrace the location
of the servers.

Sick. Do that.

Only catch,

someone needs to be
close enough to the router

so I can use their
phone to hack it

during the transmission.

Is ringside
close enough?

Got a standing invite
from master Drake himself.

An invite? To
participate in the trial?

He's gonna throw you
in the ring.

Whoa. Wait.
You're gonna fight?

Nicky, your injuries.
I've told you.

I know, but hopefully,

althea can do her
little Wi-Fi thingie

before I even
have to fight.

Judging by
the encryption,

I'll need about
10 minutes to trace it.

Guys, it's ok.
I got this.

Master Drake's been
lying to his students,

exploiting them.

That ends tomorrow.

One more drink.

Ha! No, no, no.
Uncle...

Uncle, please, please.

I came here
for a reason.

I'm looking
for something.

Before he died,

father kept
a notebook

and a scroll written
in some ancient text.

Do you know
where it is?

Let's not speak of
such silly things.

Why not?

Uncle.

You're usually
so chatty.

Why so quiet now?

I made a promise
years ago

to protect you
from all that.

A promise?
A promise to whom?

Your sister.

The night pei-ling
ran away,

she called me,

pleaded with me
to take you in.

To look after you.

I was still angry
about yibo's death, but...

I couldn't say no
to her.

She's family, too.

You... you betrayed me.

All those years
behind my back,

speaking to her.

Not often.

She sent money sometimes.

She wanted you
to have a good life.

Lies! She used you!

She used you to clear
her guilty conscience.

- What are you doing?
- You want to protect me

from all this?
You're far too late!

- Zhilan.
I killed Pei-ling.

And if I have to,
I will kill you, too.

Zhilan, what have
you become? Ooh!

Where are they?

Under the floorboard.

What is it?

The scroll belonged
to your mother.

Some sort of guide

for the sword's guardian.

The notebook...

Your father was trying
to translate it.

He didn't get far, but

he believed the scroll
held secrets

to all 8 weapons.

Where is the scroll?

Where is it?

The night yibo died,
I sold it...

To Mr. Tan.

Meet me
outside the school.

Drake's not expecting you, so,

we should walk in together.

Thanks, Henry.

Nicky, where are
you going?

Althea.
More errands. Bye!

There she is.
Come on.

Welcome, Nicky Shen.

Are you ready to put
your skills to the test?

Tsoi-hung is a cage fight?

No better way to take
stock of one's abilities

than in true combat.

- Who am I fighting?
- Master Drake,

it would be my honor

to face a true
Shaolin fighter.

Phoebe, I admire
your commitment

and your determination.

Phoebe has the true
heart of a warrior,

but Nicky Shen has trained
with the Shaolin

and I believe
she deserves an opponent

worthy of that rank.

So, let us see how she fares

against a full
tsoi-hung warrior.

Tonight, you... will fight me.

I don't get it.

What the hell's
Drake's play here?

I threatened his authority
over his star pupil.

He thinks he can
reclaim it by

crushing me
in the ring.

Yeah, well, he might be
a bad teacher

and an awful person,
but that doesn't mean

he's not a powerful fighter.

How are we on time?

At least another
8 minutes or so,

give or take.

Nicky Shen, please

take your position.

You know, as much as
I'd love to see you

wipe the floor
with that jackass,

are you sure
you're in any condition

to take him on
right now?

- I mean, Ryan said...
- Look, I'm fine.

I can do this.
The only way to

stop Drake's hold
on Phoebe,

on everyone,

is to expose him
as the fraud he is.

How's it going over there?

Going as fast
as I can.

- What the...
- What's she doing?

Isn't that
master Drake?

She's going to get
herself killed.

Nicky Shen.

Master Drake.

Uhh! The ribs,
Nicky, come on!

Are you ready
to quit now?

Few people can stand

the full force
of tsoi-hung.

Nicky speaking Mandarin...

They say masters
need to be

an example of
peace and virtue

in the eyes of
their students.

I have tried to be
that for you.

But I am like
anyone else.

I have made mistakes.
I have deep regrets.

I hope those mistakes
do not prevent me

from providing
the training and guidance

to those who
count on me.

Shifu, you're
a great teacher.

You've taught me
so much.

To determine
whether or not

I am a good teacher,

do not look to
my teachings.

Or to my skill.

Then what?

Look to yourself.

Have you grown past
the young girl

who climbed into
my truck?

Are you still running,

or are you facing
your fears?

That is how I wish
to be judged...

How you grow,
who you become.

All I can do...
Is hope

I have taught you well.

♪ then you're gonna get hurt

Althea,
how much longer?

Got it.
They're running the servers

out of a residence
near the airport.

- I'll call it in.
- I'll call Henry,

tell him to get out there.

You should call

Althea says the cops
just raided the server.

New American school's
going down.

Only a matter of time
before the law

brings Drake in.

Good.

Kevin's taking
Phoebe home.

Told me to say thanks.

I hope she
finds her way.

What is it?

I've been struggling.

What zhilan said,
it got to me.

There's still so much
I don't know

about pei-ling.

About her past.

It made me start
doubting everything.

And maybe I won't ever
know the whole truth,

but I... I know
pei-ling taught me well.

I know she was
a good shifu.

She had her
secrets, but...

Her mission is still
my mission.

And I think I'm ready
to start again,

if you are.

Yeah, of course.

How about now?
I mean,

ribs still hurt, but
I'm feeling pretty good

after this fight.

Could be just
you and me.

Nicky... I'm here
for you.

I am, but, uh...

What?

I saw you

leave the gala
with Evan.

I know it was
a crazy situation.

You were hurt.
He was there.

But you didn't even
tell me where you went,

and I've been starting
to think that

maybe... you're not
completely over him.

If you have
feelings for him...

Any feelings at all,

that's ok, but...

I'm just gonna have
to put a pause on... this.

Yeah. Ok.

Good night, Nicky.

Night.

Nicky.

Hey, mama.

Althea ran me ragged,

so, I'm just gonna

head upstairs and crash.

Is everything ok?

I saw you.

At the new
American school.

Fighting that man.

How did you...

I knew you were
hiding something.

I just had to
make sure.

So you followed me.

I shouldn't have been
so surprised.

I've seen
glimpses of it,

ever since you've
come home, but

tonight, that fight.

- Mama, you know I've been training.
- No.

There is
a difference between

training and what I saw.

You are a warrior, Nicky.

A warrior by birth.

I've been trying to
shield you from it

your whole life,

trying to change
your destiny.

My destiny?

It was the last thing
I wanted for you.

I suppose
I was a fool

to think I could
stop it.

It's in your blood.

What are you saying?

You are a descendant
of liang daiyu.

The first woman warrior.

Oh. Hello.

I think you're
in the wrong car.

Not that i'd
ask you to leave.

Well, that's very
generous of you,

kerwin tan.

If you're here to make
a pitch to the tans,

you're better off
speaking to my father.

And what if I want
to be friends?

Friends. What a charmingly

middle-class concept.

What's your angle?

Biange.

I assume you've
heard of it.

It is your father's
lifelong goal,

his animating passion.

In the past few years,
it has become mine, too.

Your family has
something I want...

An ancient scroll,

purchased from my
family decades ago.

Your father,
I imagine he has had

no luck in translating it.

It's probably collecting
dust on one of your

many estates
as we speak.

I need it.

And luckily for you,

I have the means
to translate it.

So... you need me.

So, why come to me?

Why, indeed?

I am perfectly
happy approaching

one of your siblings

if you're not
interested in

what I have to offer.

Let's get out of here.

We know the lineage is real.
Traceable.

But only a few believed

in what that
really meant.

Our family's legacy.

Legacy?

As descendants
of liang daiyu,

we are the rightful
owners of her sword.

It's been lost
for generations,

held by a guardian,

but it is said that
when the time is right,

it would be ours
to reclaim.

Our birthright.

It was said that
one member of

every generation...
A woman...

Would be chosen
to wield the sword.

And you believed this
growing up?

That's why you
kept it from us?

I... I never really
understood any of it,

but my sister,
she did.

She believed
the stories.

Auntie Mei-xue?

You said she died

when she was a teenager.
Tuberculosis.

Lied. It's less painful
than the truth.

She believed she had the
right to wield the sword,

that she was
the chosen one

of our generation.

That it was
calling out to her.

And she was obsessed.

I begged her to stay

but she ran away,

abandoning me,
our family.

We haven't seen her since.

All these years...
You lied.

I wanted to shield
my family

from all of this.

To not feel
the pain I felt,

to forget about
our bloodline.

But then I had you.

I kept seeing it
in you...

Flashes of Mei-xue.

You would scrape
your knee... no tears.

Always standing up to
the bullies in school,

fighting for
what is right.

Althea would choose ballet,
you... karate.

And you stopped me.

That's where it started.

You controlling me.

Steering me towards
what you want me to be.

Yes.

I have tried my whole life

to understand

what my true path is,

and you've known this
all along?

My whole life,

you've kept me in the dark.

You lied to me.
Manipulated me.

I wanted to keep you safe.

I wanted to stop you
from making

the same mistakes
Mei-xue...

That was my choice to make.

And you stole it from me.

Nicky.

Nicky.

Baba, the car keys.

I need to get
out of here.

Here.

What have you done?
