Marvel's Iron Fist

- - Come on.

- -

Open up.

- -

I'll make you eat that blade.

Now, you saw what this can do.

So, apologize, before I break your face.

I'm sorry.

See? That's better.

You're a Golden Tiger, yes?

Is that garlic shrimp I smell?

And moo sh...

Mmm. You spoil me.

Fuel to keep the midnight oil burning.

You missed midnight by a couple hours.

- What are you working on? - The... USCIS I-485.

Can't make the first step in permanent citizenship easy?

- Or everyone would apply. -

I'm helping Diana Tsai put hers together.

Oh, she works at that little anime store on Forsyth, right?

- Mmm-hmm. - Huh.

I should swing by and see her.

So you can bring more junk up in here?

Hey, it's not junk. It's research.

I missed the last 15 years of culture. I need to catch up.

I kind of like that you don't know who SpongeBob is.

He's a sponge named Bob.

- All right. -

Oh, shit. You really did some damage.

They killed three security guards.

I couldn't take the chance on letting them get away, so...

I stopped them.

Looks like a war zone.

They didn't respond well to "please."

You know that's what you said the other night, right?

When you knocked the wall out of the back of that nightclub.

I'm just trying to keep the peace.

Situations... they happen.

Maybe if you started coming out with me...

Mmm-mmm.

Let's not have this discussion again, okay?

Oh, come on, let me.

I like what I do at the center.

You know, I... I help people. I'm a part of the community.

Besides...

last time I got involved...

things went sideways.

Hey.

You saved Misty.

And Claire.

Hmm. That's the glass-half-full version.

It's the truth. Okay.

Come on. What?

How about one last heroic mission before we get some shut-eye?

- I thought you wanted me to rest. - Hmm...

You did bring me takeout all the way from Hester Street.

Good afternoon.

I got your message about the shipment.

I trust it's still on its way.

It is. The issue is the price of passage,

which has gone up.

We had a deal, Mr. Yang.

I control these docks.

But others want what I have.

If I lose control, your shipment will fail to clear customs.

That is not an option.

The new price is four million.

Where I'm from, Mr. Yang,

those who go back on their word are tossed to the bottom of a ravine.

As a child, I would walk among their corpses

and break their bones for extra measure.

I will discuss the terms with my partner.

My wife likes to tell me this place is a cautionary tale.

All the little fish that thought they were headed upstream...

now someone else's meal.

No more stories.

You raise the price again...

you, your wife and your business will suffer.

Colleen will come around.

I'm just saying your lady doesn't know what she's missing.

You're looking at the full package here. I own my own business. I dance mad good.

And you should hear me karaoke. I absolutely crush it.

Yeah, well, Colleen hates karaoke.

- What? Then I quit right now. Forget it. - -You two seem to be doing good, huh? - Yeah. We're in a solid place right now.

You know, this is the first time I've, uh, moved in with someone.

It's an adjustment, you know? I gotta share my personal space.

My private thoughts.

Last week, I put one of her dresses in the dryer.

- Cardinal sin. - Yep.

Second only to drinking milk out of the container.

- That's just freaking disgusting, bro. - Yeah. So I'm told.

Danny.

Look.

All these challenges, my brother, it's good practice.

You gotta make hay while the sun shines.

'Cause you never know when rain may come.

- Yeah. - Yeah?

And you keep your eyes peeled in case your future wife walks by.

Your girlfriend is my future wife.

Yeah, go on. Just get in there.

Hey! You just gonna leave your car here?

Closed down Mott Street. Gonna be a cluster out there today.

I saw it all over the news. It was the armored car thing.

Golden Tigers in Hatchet Gang territory.

Not good.

Not good, I tell you. All the old truces are being thrown to the wind.

Last time there was a Triad war, it wasn't pretty.

Everybody was approached for recruitment.

You, uh... You say it like you experienced it.

When I was 12 years old, I almost joined the Hatchets.

My best friend was recruited.

Seeing him in a casket kept me on the straight and narrow.

The bad old days. Let's hope they're not coming back, yeah?

Good news. All done.

All that's left is that filing fee.

No way I can get $750 together on my salary any time soon.

Bayard has a fund.

We may be able to at least partially cover the cost.

Thank you, Colleen.

- We're so grateful. - Please.

Raising Lana on your own can't be easy.

She's growin' up so quick.

Too quickly. I can barely keep her in clothes.

We just got a bunch of donations for that charity drive.

Why don't I see if I can find some kids' winter stuff.

- Hey, Lana? - Uh-huh?

- Let's look for treasure. - All right.

Okay. Too small.

What do you think about that? Let's try that on.

Perfect. Let's see if we can find a scarf or something.

Pretty.

What've you got there?

Toys!

Ethan?

Do we have a donation list or...

- You know where this is from? - Mmm-mmm.

See, what you want to do is head uptown until you hit Prince.

- Oh. - That's Nolita proper.

Oh, I thought I was headed that way. Ah!

The streets down here are so confusing.

- You get used to it. - You can't get lost.

The sun rises on the East River, sets on the Hudson. Uptown is due north.

Wow. And people say New Yorkers don't care. How gallant.

You new in town? Where are you from?

Oak Creek, Wisconsin.

Home of stifled dreams, lost hope and... mediocre pie.

Hey, you're a... you're a photographer.

Oh, no. I borrowed it from a friend. But can I take your picture?

Uh, yeah. Sure. Yeah.

- - I draw and use the camera

to narrow my field of vision.

I find that anywhere I point the lens on the street,

I just find someone or something, like...

Huh. This one's interesting.

Yeah, like, the light on the buildings, it's just so magical.

Mao dou! You still on the clock, man?

Huh. You don't look like a Mao dou.

Trust me, I've said as much. My name's Danny.

Oh. Mary.

Well, thanks for the new-in-town primer.

Pleasure to meet you, Danny. Andrew.

Albert. But you can call me Andrew. I like it better.

Okay. I better head out.

I swear, some men feast while others starve.

Look, I was just being nice.

- Oh, no. "Gallant." -

That's what you were being.

Hello?

Uh, yeah.

Okay. All right, thanks for the heads-up. Yeah.

Hey, excuse me. Sorry. Uh... That furniture shop. Been closed long?

- A few weeks. - You know how I can reach him or...

His cousin's got a restaurant around the corner. Silver Lotus.

Name's Yip. Henry Yip.

Okay. Thank you.

You have no business coming here.

Give us the bread, and we'll leave.

- I already paid... - That's your problem, not ours.

- Hey! Get away from him. - Yo, back up. Back up!

- You want me to call the cops? - Do it.

What are you, 15? Go home.

Get out of here!

Come on. Come on.

Oh, my God. Mr. Yip, right?

- You okay? - Yeah, I'm fine. Thank you.

- What did they want? - Protection money.

I'm sorry, I know this is really bad timing,

but I actually have a few questions about your cousin, Choi.

I have no cousin by that name.

I just heard different.
