Marvel's Iron Fist

The hell are you doin'?

Back off, boy.

Yo, we good, man. Okay?

I'm not here to do you harm.

I've come to free you.

I'll be parked at the curb.

How'd you do that?

I spent my whole life working towards this practice.

Have any of you ever had a goal so great and true?

I've been eliminating criminals. You've been scavenging their remains.

Is that how you wish to be seen? Carrion crows, living meal to meal.

I can show you another way.

I want to offer you all an opportunity.

This city has failed you.

See, I come from a place

where you're considered the most precious resource.

What, are we gonna go hand out flowers up at Grand Central?

You live on the fringes.

You catch as catch can.

And what if all that effort it takes to survive a day, a week, a year

was directed to a noble purpose?

What if I could make you warriors?

I can offer you a place to study,

give you instruction in the martial arts.

You can help me turn this neighborhood around

and perhaps, one day, this city.

- You for real? - Oh, I am.

Eden Towers on the waterfront. Do you know it?

Room and board for as many who choose to join me.

I will work you hard.

But you'll all be better for it.

Yeah?

Trust me.

That is one strange dude.

Is driving south of 14th Street your idea of a vacation?

Oh, you know me. I like to stay busy.

Oh, is this about the captain gig at the two-nine?

I'd say it's a good fit.

I wanted to see you about these Triad murders.

Now, the guy who's responsible for it is a psychopath, William.

And he's got abilities.

You got the man with bulletproof skin in your yard.

I got one with a glowing fist.

What do you know about it?

He's been all over Chinatown for months.

He started out taking out petty criminals, then, a few weeks ago,

he busts up our plan to take down Yang and Ho.

This is a different guy.

He has a red fist, the other has a yellow one.

I know it's tough to swallow,

but trust me, there is a real distinction.

- One is trying to do good, and the other... - Yeah, well, red, yellow,

either way it's a shitstorm.

I got the commissioner and the community board

breathing down my neck.

Well, give me a couple detectives and a few unis, I can bring him in.

Thanks. I got it handled.

Listen...

- I've got a couple leads I'm working... - Misty...

it's not your problem to solve, okay?

I appreciate any information you wanna share, of course,

but that's where it ends.

You're draggin' your feet on this one, aren't you?

You're just gonna let the brush fire burn itself out?

Triad or no, people are dying, Pike.

Go back to Harlem, Misty.

You wanna go toe-to-toe with me on this kind of call?

Take that job.

As long as Davos is killing Triad, Pike is okay to look the other way.

- That is unreal. - Yeah.

I've been at Bayard. The families of the victims are terrified.

They should be. He is a wild card with a powerful weapon.

Can you go over Pike's head?

I don't think I should.

I'm a detective on leave in his backyard.

You going with Danny to PT today? How's he holdin' up?

Mmm, as best he can.

The doctors can't give us anything definitive about his recovery.

He's a fighter. He's got it.

The same scientist who built your arm built his brace.

So it's cutting edge. Ward's been all over it.

Meachum? He is all right.

And, you know...

- I just don't see it. - Really?

Honestly, I've been trying to keep Danny's spirits up, but...

it's not just the leg.

He had Davos. He had Walker...

And then it all went to shit. Yeah, it's a lot.

Which is why I hope you are taking time for yourself.

Well, I have been working on the ledger.

I'm trying to crack this damn code.

Thank you, Frank Choi.

Okay, so each page is a different person, right?

And they're paying in unusual increments.

So it's, like, ten dollars, a hundred...

And what? They were paying off loans?

Life debt.

Passage from China,

forged papers once they got here,

and then rental agreements, furniture...

Sometimes they would pay in money,

but other times they would pay with possessions.

So I think that that could be that box.

Then that means someone traded your family heirloom

for passage into this country. Wow.

Maybe. Question is, who?

Hey.

Hey.

Good to see you.

It's good to see you, too.

- What are you doing here? - And how are you even walking?

Only hurts when I dance.

It's a, uh... It's a Rand tech compression brace.

It speeds up the process.

The doctors know you're here?

I just wanted to come home. I couldn't stand the hospital.

So, what's the latest on Davos?

Uh... Eight more victims. All Triad.

Colleen said you were gonna speak to the police.

- Get some support. - Yeah. That's not gonna happen.

Then we do it on our own.

The plan stays the same.

We find a way to get the Fist out of Davos

and then you arrest him.

And the Crane Sisters will do what they need to.

And what is that, exactly?

They weren't certain on the details.

Except the bowl.

The one they mixed your blood in with the ashes.

That was crucial.

Joy told me that she got that bowl for Davos.

So we can ask her from where and who...

Ward said he saw Joy and Davos at an art auction.

Well, then, that's a string we can pull.

I'll look into it, get back to you guys.

It's good to see you back in action.

Back in action? Are you kidding me?

Look, your leg is still attached to your body.

No, that's okay. I can handle it.

I wasn't implying you couldn't.

I know.

I'm sorry.

If you'd called, I'd have picked you up.

You've already wasted enough time dealing with all this.

Danny, you would do the same.

This is different.

It wasn't an accident.

I did this to myself, thinking I could reason with Davos.

And now he's out there with two Fists, and I'm...

I mean, what am I supposed to do?

Come with me to Bayard.

The police aren't gonna make a move,

so we need to spread the word that Davos is out there.

Just because you can't fight, doesn't mean you can't help.

Yeah.

You're right.

Sofia, I'm sorry.

There's no reason for me to drive all the way to New Jersey

when you're already there. You're gonna

have to handle this on your own, okay?

I'm gonna have to call you back.

What is this? You finally arrest Davos?

Not yet. He put Danny in the hospital. Did you know that?

He just got home.

Well, I'll send flowers.

You think this is funny.

Danny is the only reason why you and your friend Walker aren't behind bars.

If you don't have any information on the Davos...

Actually, I was hoping that you had some.

Do you mind?

No.

I'm not answering any more questions.

This time, there is really just one.

I need to know about the ceremony you and Davos put him through.

The bowl.

The one that you got from the auction house.

All I know is that it was crucial,

some kind of Tibetan antiquity.

I need more than that.

I can't tell you what I don't know.

New locks on the door. That's a fancy intercom system.

And you got a license for that Taser?

Of course I do. These are just precautions.

They gonna stop that Fist of his?

Whatever it is you're holding back, you need to let me know.

The curator who found the bowl may know more.

Her name is Mika Prada.

Bailey's Auction House. Just...

I may have pressed Mika to get the bowl.

Did you, now?

So she's not a fan?

Mmm-mmm.

That's putting it lightly.

Then I like her already.

I thought you were upstairs. Check that bad boy out.

- Pretty sweet, right? - It's a great idea.

I was inspired by that crime scanner thing

you use in the living room.

So it's like the low-tech version.

Let's, uh... Let's go home. It's been a long day.
