Marvel's Iron Fist

It's a stupid game.

Because I'm better at it?

If I beat you again, you have to do all my knuckle push-ups.

Your skinny arms need the work, not mine.

Lei Kung says, "A sharp mind can cut as quick as the sharpest sword."

Yu-Ti told us the Iron Fist must strike their enemies as a falcon does,

without mercy or hesitation.

The Iron Fist protects K'un-Lun.

He doesn't only guard the gates. He kills all our enemies.

Kills them? I don't think I could do that.

Not even to the Hand?

When I'm Iron Fist, I'm gonna destroy them all.

What if I joined the Hand? Would you kill me?

Of course not. We're brothers.

If you were Iron Fist, Davos, and Daniel were Hand,

you would strike him down without a second thought.

That's why you will never face Shou-Lao.

Compassion is your weakness, a deficiency of character.

The Iron Fist must remain above all others.

Chaste. Pure. Without wife, family or friends.

With practice comes mastery.

With mastery comes knowledge.

With knowledge comes strength.

- What do you strive to become? - The Immortal Iron Fist.

If only you were alive to see.

Please, stop! Please.

I'll get your money. I'll pay.

You know how this works.

Break his wrists, so he isn't late again.

I didn't see anything. I promise.

You don't need to fear. I've come to protect you.

Who were these men?

Golden Tiger Triad.

Where can I find more of them?

There's a club on Ditmas and 17th.

Who are you?

The Immortal Iron Fist.

Still no answer.

Okay, before the call dropped, what exactly did you hear?

Uh, the sound of a fight,

he said the name Mary, and then the line went dead.

But it just doesn't make sense. She doesn't seem like the fighting type.

Well, maybe she wasn't alone.

Hey, look, whatever happened, Danny probably kicked their ass.

- Okay? - Where is he?

Trying to make me feel better,

- but please do not feed me BS. - I'm not feeding you any BS.

Now, do you have an address for Mary or a phone number?

No, no.

She called three nights ago. Is that something we could trace?

Maybe. Or we could get lucky with prints.

Where are those photos?

I knew something was off with her.

I shouldn't have let Danny walk away.

Oh, shoulda, woulda, coulda. Look, Danny makes his own choices.

If he's in trouble, we will pull him out.

Just like he would do for us.

One more thing.

She gave us this drawing.

Are you sure there's nowhere else you need to be?

I got an offer for a promotion to captain.

I'm taking a few vacation days to figure it out.

That's big.

Whatever this is with you and Danny, it's got my full attention, okay?

Now, I'm gonna need something that only the two of you touched

to rule out your prints.

How long do you think this will take?

If I call in favors, at least 24 hours.

I have a better idea. I think I know someone who can get this done faster.

All right. Well then, lead the way.

- I'm glad you're here. - I'm glad you're glad.

Time to wake up, sunshine.

The amount of money you paid,

I thought you'd want to see it right away.

Just leave it. I'll watch later.

Oh, no, that's not going to work for me.

You watch. I erase. And then we arrange payment.

Okay.

Time to wake up, sunshine.

Hmm.

Satisfied?

It's... It's what I asked for.

I appreciate you trusting me to get the job done.

Not a lot of people would stick their neck out like that for me.

Yeah, of course.

Someone walk over your grave?

No, I, um...

We were...

We knew each other when we were kids, and...

it's just really funny how so much can change.

You don't have to explain yourself to me.

Right, well, I'll, uh... I'll text you when the money's ready.

So, you know the deal.

I was never here. We never met. This never happened.

Works for me.

And you make sure your friend Davos is on the same page.

I will relay the message.

I, uh... I'm not one to offer advice.

But you did me a favor when you kept me on this job.

Davos is someone to watch your back around.

He's dangerous. Plain and simple.

He and I...

Our partnership is effectively over.

But I appreciate the warning.

I'll wait for your message.

Is there any reason we couldn't have done this in the comfort of my office?

It needed to be sorted in private.

Thought you were punishing me for missing dinner the other night.

Hmm.

Excuse my manners. Ward Meachum.

Misty Knight.

Of course. Detective Knight.

I've seen the specs on this arm of yours.

And the purchase orders.

Sort of like sporting a Maserati with fingers.

Well, I would be glad to trade you for yours if you want it back.

Uh, look, Ward, Danny is missing. We think someone may have grabbed him.

- Any idea who? - That's what we need your help with.

All we have is a name. Mary.

And that may be an alias. We're hoping she left prints on these.

We're trying to avoid this going public.

A media circus is never a good thing. I'll put Rand corporate security on it.

Thanks.

Thank you, Ward.

Of course.

Mmm!

Okay. You don't like him, do you?

He and Danny are like family. I'm trying.

If that look is you trying, I would hate to see you not try.

- I'll work on my game face. - Eh, join the club.

Hey.

You know this investigation thing, you got the right instincts.

We'll see.

While we're waiting on tall, dark and arrogant,

is there anybody else who might have a lead on Mary?

Come on.

All right.

Oh, shit.

Yo, look what we found.

This is the guy from the restaurant. The one that pissed the Tigers off.

Dude's messed up.

Maybe we offer him up to them.

We could make some bank off his sorry ass.

- How much you think we'll get? - Who cares? Long as we get paid.

Hey, pal, private party.

Yo!

Hey, man, where do you think you're going?

If that was an audition...

I'm impressed.

I'm here to tell you the Triad war is over.

No.

- Is that so? - I will end it.

Wait, wait, wait!

You want to end the Triad, I can help you!

All the Triads. I know where they live,

where they collect their protection, smuggle their wares.

Not just Triads. All criminals.

If someone is doing something they shouldn't in this city, I know.

I can tell you where they are.

Hell, I'll take you there.

I want you to meet me in two hours at the Greenpoint Pier.

Bring a list.

If you don't show your face or you try something ill-advised,

then your name goes to the top of that list.

Time to wake.

I've brought your medicine.

Your father couldn't come.

He has more important things to attend to.

His other son, Daniel Rand, will now face the dragon.

I know what you're thinking.

"I was blinded by the sun, Mother."

Danny used a trick to gain advantage...

...Lei Kung betrayed me when he called the fight, Mother.

"I never yielded."

Excuses for your failure.

Better I were barren than to bring a disgrace like you into this world.

Second best.

The fool who lost his birthright to an outsider.

I thought I had raised a champion.

I was mistaken.

I now must wear that shame.

Mother, I'm sorry.

I will make you proud.

I will make you proud.

I will make you proud.

I will make you proud.

I will make you proud.

I will make you proud.

Any word from the Tigers yet?

Yo, screw waiting. Go find 'em. It's time to get paid.

Is that what this is about? Money?

I can get you money.

Sure. You're rich.

Which is why you sling furniture for cash.

Look, whatever you're planning, it's not worth it.

Just cut me loose. I'll keep this to myself.

Why the hell you still standing here? Get on it.

Misty.

Anything?

No. Danny told me he ran into Mary at this coffee shop,
