Marvel's Iron Fist

- Sorry. - It's all right.

What?

Where are we?

Home.

Hmm...

It's not the dojo.

Hmm, no.

But it's the safest place I know.

How do you feel?

Yeah, I'm, uh...

I'm tired.

I was so worried about you.

You okay?

I feel great.

Hmm.

What happened?

You healed me, Danny.

Saved my life.

It's a lot...

having to keep a secret like this.

And I... I understand now why Ward's...

why he is the way he is.

Yeah, I think we might be losing him, Joy.

You put him in a terrible position, Dad.

Lying to everyone.

Standing right next to me while I cried over you,

knowing he could do something about it, he could make it better.

No, he couldn't make it better. No one could.

Hey, Joy.

Joy, I understand your feelings are hurt. I do.

I had no choice.

I was trapped. I had to stay hidden.

You told Danny.

Danny found out. That wasn't my choice.

You know, sometimes in life, um,

things happen that we're not prepared for.

You know, we just do the best we can.

Do you remember those nights?

When I was sick?

And you and Ward were there every two hours.

Yeah.

Yeah, we had to turn you in your bed.

Keep you from getting bedsores.

Mmm-hmm. You were just teenagers.

But you wouldn't let the hospice nurse do it.

You were so thin...

and fragile.

You were like parchment.

I was afraid they might break you.

And sometimes...

sometimes I'd wake up...

and I'd see you there, asleep in the chair...

and you'd be looking just like you were when you were kids.

So peaceful.

And in that darkness, I'd pray.

I would plead to the universe that if I...

if I ever had a second chance, I'd do anything.

I would do anything, I'd pay any price, to keep you away.

Keep you away from that pain and that heartache.

I wanted to protect you from suffering,

because you'd endured so much already.

Joy...

Joy, I... I love you.

I'm... I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry. I'm sorry for, you know,

I'm sorry for all of... all of this.

I'm just glad the universe listened.

Yeah.

What was it like?

What? Death?

Hmm. It was like when I was a kid...

coming home from school through the snow, and...

and then I'd be standing on the porch, freezing,

and on the other side was comfort. Comfort and warmth.

But this time...

This time when I tried the handle, the door wouldn't open.

And I could hear you.

I could hear you and Ward on the other side, and...

I... I wanted to be on the other side so much.

But the harder I tried...

the further I'd just...

I'd drift away and...

it would become colder...

and colder.

And, uh, and I was here.

Restored.

Joy...

I want us to be together again, happy.

Happy and whole.

I want that, too.

Yeah.

But this is strange. This is...

- Hey, I know. I know. I know. - This is really unreal. I...

I know. Ward... Ward found it difficult at first, too. But after a while...

Where is he?

- I'm worried about him. - Ward has a problem, Joy.

You know that, don't you?

Yeah, Dad, I know. I know he has a problem.

I've talked to him about it, and it hasn't helped.

Oh, well, you know, addicts can be... they can be unpredictable.

But we've gotta do everything we can to help him.

Everything.

That shouldn't keep us from getting Rand back...

and turning it into what I'd always hoped for.

Our family's legacy.

- I got a plan for that. - Yeah, I know.

Ward told me about the... the blackmail.

- I... I want you to step away from that. - Why?

You just... leave that for, you know, that...

that Hogarth and the courts to work out.

I don't want you risking anything.

Where's the risk?

People will ask you questions,

and you're... you're gonna wanna answer honestly and truthfully.

Yeah, under oath.

Mmm-hmm. Probably.

Hopefully, it won't come to that.

- Yeah. - Hey.

Look, I know that secrets...

secrets and lies have...

they've taken a toll on our family.

They've almost ruined us, but...

I want a future free from all of that.

For you, for me...

for all of us.

Hey.

Okay.

This is where I came when I first returned from my grandfather's in Japan.

What is this? A monastery? A school?

Uh, a bit of both.

A safe place for people who need a home.

They took me in, helped me get settled.

Who's "they"?

Bakuto and his group.

Your sensei?

Our sensei.

Everyone here.

- Huh. - This is my family, Danny.

Maybe the only one I've ever known.

I'm glad you're here.

Danny, Colleen.

Welcome.

How are you feeling?

Yeah, I'm, uh... I'm all right.

Thanks for showing me how to heal her.

Of course.

I see it took a lot out of you, though.

Yeah.

Are you ready to recharge?

What do you mean?

Colleen told me you were the Iron Fist, the Immortal Weapon.

Uh... not many people know what that is.

Well, it's always been a special interest of mine.

But you weren't taught how to recharge your chi?

Let's just say my training went a little sideways.

Fair enough.

Then step this way.

Just follow my lead.

I've studied many traditions, so you'll recognize most of the moves.

But in this order, they're gonna take you somewhere else.

I call it harnessing the Five Elemental Energies.

Why are you frowning?

I'm not.

But you are.

Our bodies always give away our inner truth.

Release whatever's binding you.

Pain, lack, fear...

and replace it with energy, abundance, trust.

You are rooted...

tied to the force that binds all life.

Let it course through you.

Let it replace everything that is broken.

Now... how do you feel?

Hungry.

I can fix that, too.

Colleen, can you go ahead and let the kitchen know

that we're on our way?

There's something I'd like to show Danny first.

Yeah. Sure.

She's very special.

Yeah.

Colleen has spoken to me about you quite a bit.

That's funny...

she's never mentioned you.

Hmm.

She's just being protective.

Does that bother you?

No.

But why keep all of this a secret?

There's a difference between "secret" and "secure."

You see, we take in people from all walks of life who need safety.

They need that because their lives were complicated...

even dangerous, sometimes.

Because of that, we try and keep a low profile.

We give them a safe haven... and much more.

What's that?

Well, each person needs a purpose,

something to believe in,

a place to belong,

a community that can help you become all that you can be.
