I think I found something.

What?

Okay, 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.

_

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.

_

Hey.

Just talked to Randall.
You're not gonna believe it.

What?

The dagger's coming to San Francisco.

_

_

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

aross 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?

Okay. 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.

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.

Okay.

Okay. Bye.

Hey.

What's that smile about?

We're getting that dagger.

Okay. 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.

Okay, 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.

Okay. 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.

Okay, 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, okay?

Okay. 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's 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.

_

_

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

- Okay.
- 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.

Okay.

- 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.

Okay. 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 wasn't bailing on you.

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.

Okay. Should we get started,

make this an actual workable heist?

Okay, the heels were a mistake.

Heels are never a mistake.

Tippy-toe. You've got this.

As long as I 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.

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

- What, again?
- Yes.

Okay, 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.

Okay, 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's 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 now-a-days.

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.
- Okay.

Where'd I put my phone?

- Oh, Baba.
- Okay, 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. Okay, 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.

Okay, 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.

Okay, 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.

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
Kirkwood 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 okay?

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.

Okay. How about me? Am I okay?

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.

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

Can you keep an eye on Mama and Baba?

- Of course.
- Yeah.

Hey Nicky, come and
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.

Greg, move your head!
