Kung Fu (2021–…): Season 3, Episode 4 - Harmony - full transcript

Fantastic, guys. Fantastic.

I am so glad you are back.

Thank you.

The line cook candidates?

Knife skills were solid.

Haven't even tried
their food yet.

Hey, guys, thank you
so much for coming.

We will let you
know before tomorrow.

Hey, mama, got your luo Bo.

Ooh, thank you.

Let me check that off the list.



Oh, are these up for grabs?

Hey.

Oh...

I needed to try those.

- Sorry.
- Well?

- Well, that was bad.
- Ooh...

I guess Tracy is a no.

Uh-uh.

Why do I feel like I'm
forgetting something?

Mama. Oh.
I'm sorry.

I thought pei ling was ok.

How's it feel?

No. They're healing.
And how is she?

She feels terrible.



I've been telling her
not to blame herself,

but she won't listen.

Finally moved her out
of Henry's apartment.

He seems to be doing ok,

but it's only been a week,
and he just went through

this massive transformation...

Hold on.

Sounds like you're taking
care of a lot of people.

I hope you're also taking
care of yourself, too.

We got a visitor...

Our friend from
melody dumplings.

Mei-li:
What is she doing here?

Isn't she your rival?

- More like frenemy.
- Mmph!

A token of good luck.

I know you've worked
so hard to reopen.

Melody, what
a surprise. Thank you.

Opening days can be so chaotic.

I hope nothing
goes wrong tomorrow.

Mm.

Looks like you still have
a ton of work to get ready.

I'll let you get back to it.

Thank you.
Zhu in hao yun.

It's looking good, Mei-li.

Mm-hmm.
Hey, hey, Lao po.

- Jin...
- Hmm?

What's that?

Lil dumpy, our mascot.

Made the full plaster myself.

Where's he, uh, going?

Out front,
of course. Hmm.

Uh, Mei-li...

Ohh, only ever
seen this in pictures.

I remember.

I used to try and jump up

and SWAT it,
but I was too short.

- Ha ha!
- Ha ha ha!

I hope tomorrow goes well.

Well, Sebastian's
feeling bullish,

thinks we're gonna
have a full house.

Oh. Are things better
since your tiff?

Oh, better than better.

@mm.

I gave an inch, made space
for him in the apartment.

He starts giving me
backrubs after my shifts.

Now it's like an arms race

to see who can be
the better boyfriend,

but the competition
has its rewards.

Got it.
Say no more.

Eh, you're just jelly...

Living at home, no privacy.

Ohh, I've got to get
out of that house.

- Hmm.
- Hmm.

I need a job.

1997, the year we opened.

I've been saving this
for the right moment.

Dr um roll, please.

Oh, ha ha ha!

Mama, for working so hard
to get here again.

Lao gong, not yet.

Mama, we should celebrate.

Yeah. You
deserve this.

No. There's still so much
work to do tomorrow,

and we are being watched.

Carrie?

I thought you two
were thick as thieves.

Yeah, but she still
answers to corporate,

and it's made clear,
if things go badly,

they're gonna cut back
on our funding,

and all of this could go away,

so before we pop the champagne,

let's just get through tomorrow.

Quin ai de ni, you
have nothing to fear.

Papa is right.

Restaurant's ready.
You're ready.

Tomorrow night
is gonna go great.

Mei-li:
I can explain everything.

- Ah, Lao po...
- Mm?

Good press
for tonight. Ooh!

Ay. Oh, my hair.

You look
beautiful. What?

- Oh...
- What? Eh.

Um, Carrie mentioned
something last night

about little dumpy.

Oh. What about
lil dumpy?

- She loves him.
- Oh, good. Mm-hmm.

Morning.

Mei-li:
Morning, althea.

Marching orders on the counter.

Huh huh huh? Yeah?

- Yeah.
- Oh, thank you.

Hmm? Oh.

I thought I was splitting these

with Nicki and Ryan.

No. She's got a class,
and he's in the E.R.

Right, the gainfully
employed children.

Can't someone else
do the lobsters?

I hate this place.

The wus been our friends for...

Decades. I know,
but the smell...

- Oh.
- Ok.

Bye, guys. Thanks.

Nicky.

Brought you some supplies.

Thank you.

Shifu, you shouldn't
be living here.

Henry is back at his apartment.

You moved back home.

I do not mind, Nicky, hmm?

It is simple,

no rent, and I am alone,

where I cannot hurt anyone.

I told you, mama is fine.

She doesn't blame you
for what happened.

None of us do.

You won't have
to stay here long.

Ryan and I are working on it.

Clearly, smashing the pendant

didn't get rid of xiao,

but we'll find another way.

In the meantime...

For the reopening tonight.

It would mean a lot
to me if you were there.

Thank you.

I will think about it.

Mm! Oh, my god.

If I knew breakfast
would taste this good,

I would've made space
for you months ago.

- Mm!
- Ha ha ha! Yeah?

Well, breakfast
is just a warmup.

What?

Tsk.

King kwong limited edition.

Oh, this is dope. Wait.

Did I forget an anniversary?

I saw it, I knew you'd love it.

Ohh! Ha ha ha!

Besides, it's half for me.

- Yes.
- Huh?

- You look hot in it.
- Huh?

- Uh-uh! Yes.
- Yeah.

- Oh, babe...
- Oh...

Got to run.
Big day.

Right.
You better be ready.

Your "first day
back at work" gift,

it's gonna blow your mind.

- You got me something?
- Mm-hmm.

Oh, yeah.
Of course I did.

Well, then I can't wait.

Why did I do that?

Is that yours?

We need some air in here.

- Jin.
- Hey.

So glad you decided
to join the team.

Primary challenge
took us off guard.

We've got our hands full.

This is my campaign
manager rob by.

He'll be putting
you to work today.

- Oh, hello.
- Hi.

Anthony tells me
you have a background

in community activism,
so I'm sure

you're an old hand at
door-to-door canvassing.

Canvassing?

Put one of these on
over your shirt,

some extras to hand out.

I'm assuming that you
have minivan on your phone.

Huh?

It's a canvassing app.
Download it.

Your route and
all the addresses.

I'm starting you off
with 500 names.

Try to hit them all.

Sync your results to
the app every 5 minutes

and meet us
back here at 1:00.

Great.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Just came to check on you,

see how you're feeling.

Looks like you're
getting your strength back.

Yeah. Um...

I was feeling pretty weak

after the whole Genesis thing

and becoming the compass.

Guess my body had to just
process all that energy.

Have you learned anything,

you know, what it all means?

I've been hitting the books.

According to the lore,
there's nothing

about what happens after.

I guess I'm the only human ever

to contain the power
of the compass,

but now I know that's why my dad

acted the way that he did.

My whole life, he was
trying to protect me.

Well, you did it.

You found what you were
looking for, the truth.

I'm glad you're feeling better.

Back that temple,
you said you moved on.

Are you seeing someone?

Yeah.

Henry, I'm still here for you.

I still care about you.

You know you'll always
be part of the family.

Yeah.

I know Ryan reached out
about coming tonight.

Yeah. Yeah. He did,
but... I don't know...

I think I... I think
I need some time.

Ok.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- You ok?
- Just left Henry's.

It's like every conversation,

we're breaking up
all over again.

You told him about Bo?

How's Bo taking all of it?

I really wouldn't know.

We've barely talked since
I got back from Thailand.

You're not ghosting
him, are you?

No. It's more
like a fizzle.

I just... I didn't
know what to say

when I got back,
all the Henry stuff,

so I tried to keep it light.

Then I was too light.

It got to the point

where we didn't
have anything to say,

and before I knew it,
our texts just dried up.

Now I can't stop over thinking

how he'll react
to what I say next.

Yes, Carrie.

We just did a final check
on the delivery app, but...

Carrie, on phone:
Mei-li, is everything ok?

Yeah. I'm gonna
have to call you back.

- Nicki, this is bad.
- Yeah.

"Howdy"?
You did not.

Yeah. I did.

Ok. You've
got to fix this.

I know.

All I want is to see him again

and pick up where we left off,

but everything has
gotten so awkward,

I don't even know
where to start.

- Girls...
- Mama?

Come.

Look. Banner's gone,
and we've been vandalized.

Who would do this?

They left a message.

"Don't even think
about opening tonight,

or this is just
the beginning."

Not lil dumpy.

Maybe we should
postpone the opening,

figure out who did this.

No. We've spent
money on the fliers.

It's already in the press.

Kitchen's fully stocked.

Can you talk to Carrie?

No. She cannot
get wind of this.

Corporate is judging
our performance

- at every angle.
- Ok.

Then we open tonight as planned,

find out who did this,
and stop them

before they pull anything else.

Where do we start?

Build a suspect list.

Mama, do you have any enemies

we should know about?

Enemies? No.

Mm, I can think of one.

I hope nothing
goes wrong tomorrow.

Melody.

Bro, you don't get it.

I promised an amazing gift,
and I've got nothing.

- I'm screwed.
- Sorry, bro.

I can't relate.
Gifts are easy.

If you love someone,
you know what they love.

Yeah, yeah, Dennis soong,
king of gifts.

Why do you think
I'm calling you?

Just keep it simple.

Seb's a chef, passionate
about his craft.

What would a chef want?

Ah, dude, uh... Like,
a fork? A spatula!

Are you even trying right now?

Right. Right. Right.

Seb's been going on about
this handmade chef's knife...

Super rare, highest
craftsmanship in the world...

A kubomoto.

There you go. Easy.

Hardly, dude.

Those things are made
to order in Japan,

takes 8 weeks minimum, and
they're super expensive.

Hello? Where'd you go?

Still here, sending you a link.

"Kubomoto.
Used but pristine.

First come,
first served."

All right, Dennis!

You really are the king.
I owe you my life.

Happy to help.

Oh, oh, wait.
Hey, hey, hey.

I took Bart to work.
Can you give me a lift?

Ohh...

Hey, excuse me. Hi.

My name is Jin shen,

and I work with Anthony chan,

our district supervisor,

so I'm reaching out
to all the voters...

He's not getting my vote
this time. Sorry.

Oh, I'm sorry.
May I ask why?

Well, for starters,
this trash situation,

it's first thing my clients see.

You know, I can file
a service request.

- I already did...
- You did?

- 4 weeks ago.
- Oh.

Just a sec. Ok. Hang on.
Hang on. One second.

One second.
Don't go away.

Hey, you know what?
Let me help you right now.

Let's put some of
those little boxes

in the big box and haul it away.

- What do you think?
- Really?

Yeah. Come on.
Let's go.

All right.

Melody stole my line cook.

She copied my menu design.

She imitated my brand.

Harmony dumplings,
melody dumplings.

Isn't her name melody?

She probably changed it.
The woman is shameless.

Mei-li, quick question.

What happened here?

Executive decision,
had to be done.

Smart.

So the lobster special,
it's all over social,

but I just saw the lobster tank.

It's empty.

Oh. I'm
all over it.

Yeah. Nicki was just
about to grab the Van.

Great.

Well, I got to
swing by the office.

I'll see you all tonight.

Sure. Nicky, grab
those lobsters.

Althea, hold down the fort.

Seb and I are gonna pay
an old friend a little visit.

- Kai.
- Yeah?

We're here for the kubomoto.

Beautiful, isn't she?

Ooh, hoo hoo! Hell yeah.
Seb's gonna flip.

You got proof of authenticity?

What proof you need?
Just look at it.

You can't fake that artistry.

Pretty low price for a kubomoto.

In a "need cash
fast" situation, ok?

Wait.
You a doctor?

Uh, yeah.

Deal's changed.

It's clear you want this bad.

I'm gonna need something
a little extra.

You can't just change the terms.

Buying knives out of
a stranger's trunk

is a lot like love.

There are no rules. Look.

I'm in a situation, ok?
Wife's out of town.

I may have slipped my ring off

for a night or two,
and the ring, well,

ended up inside hanzo.

What's a hanzo?

Not a what, a who...

Wife's purebred English bulldog.

Boy licked the ring
clean off the nightstand.

Oh, you...

Old lady comes home
and I'm rocking this ring less,

I'm cooked.

Plan was, sell the knife

to pay the vet to get the ring.

That opens up
a whole new can of worms

because I got to explain
the stitches.

One look at those
nimble doctor digits of yours,

and I got a new plan.

You get the ring out of hanzo,

this beauty's all yours.

Shouldn't take too long.
Ring's close to passing.

How could you know that?

Got a metal detector.

Ok. We're
out of here.

Wait. You can't really
be considering this.

I'm getting seb that knife.

Take me to hanzo.

Mei-li: Just admit it.

You've had it out for me
ever since you opened

and last night taunting me
with that orchid.

- That was a gift.
- Ohh...

Melody, if you just confess,

we won't have to press charges.

Charges for what?
I'm innocent.

That banner was 25 years old,

and you stole it.

And you destroyed lil dumpy.

Yeah, that, too.

Where were you this morning?

Oh, I know my rights.

I don't have
to tell you anything.

Hey, what's in the trash can?

Nothing. Wait!

Is that my banner?

Um... no.

"Produce for less"?

Melody, that's what
you were hiding?

Receipt says
9:24 A.M.

She was shopping when
the banner was stolen.

She's innocent.

Oh, melody, I...

I'm sorry for
the misunderstanding.

Hey, Nicky. Yeah.
We got it wrong.

- It's not melody.
- Yep.

Just realized that myself.

Whoever's threatening us
isn't after mama.

They are after me.

So you're the target?

That's what it looks like.

It's got to be revenge...

Target the family business
to get back at me.

We got to figure out who it is.

- I can help.
- No, no, no.

We open in 4 hours.
I need you to go to the bank.

Van's in the shop,

and Ryan's not
picking up the phone.

Yeah. He's busy.

Don't ask.
On it, mama shen.

- All right.
- Thanks for the ride.

Althea?

Um, can you spare me, mama?

Whose lemons are these?

I'll take that as yes.

We put together a list of people

who might have
a grudge against you.

It's pretty long.

Hit me.
I'm ready.

114 known enemies.

Oh, god.

In a way, it's impressive.
You're like Batman.

How are we gonna
narrow them down?

We can eliminate a lot of them...

Out of state,
in jail, or... Dead.

A few are on the straight
and narrow now, reformed.

Good for them. Oh!
Remember vostok?

We caught him with yips' jewelry

at that old amusement park.

- What was that called?
- Dinoland.

Yes. That was
really fun.

No time for nostalgia.

We need to figure this out.

Right.

Mr. Shen, you missed
your 1 P.M. check-in.

Your location on
the app went dark.

I turned off the phone.

One of our constituents
needed help,

so I helped her.

Instead of hitting
your assigned contacts?

Every other volunteer
hit their target.

Well, I hit my own...

Fresh names, fresh addresses.

Put that in your cap.

How?

The person I was
helping was going

to a professional luncheon.

97 in-district voters
all pledged

to support Anthony
in the primary.

Well, your target was a hundred,

so we'll see what
Anthony has to say

about your
under performance today.

Jo slip slavo's still locked up.

Amon's out, too...

Passport flagged in Costa Rica.

Check this out.

I found a social media post
from that master Drake guy.

Uhh!

He called you out, Nicky,

said you ruined his school

and destroyed his reputation.

Ok. It's not my fault
he was running

a bogus martial arts academy.

Well, clearly he's
holding a grudge.

And he was never arrested.

He's a viable suspect.

We've got one more...

Our old friend leif winzig.

I'm not going back
to San Quentin.

Clementine!

Hey!

Agh! Uh! Ugh!

- Oh!
- Oh! Hoo!

Yeah, but he's still in jail.

I mean, he could be
running the sabotage

from the inside,
but he'd have to have

a pretty big grudge to bother.

Well...

What?

He has been sending me
death threats from jail.

You didn't think
to mention that?

I just... I didn't
take him seriously.

Let's pay him a visit,
see if he's our guy.

I'll put in a call
to San Quentin,

pull a favor with the warden.

All right. What
about master Drake?

How do we track him down?

Well, if I could
still use a computer,

I would just hack Drake's post,

use an nmap tool
to pull up an ip address, and...

- Guys!
- Oh, right. Heh.

- Evan?
- Oh, yes.

The nmap tool would show
any vulnerabilities

in an open port, like ftp.

Then I would run
a script and brute-force

the admin. Password
to look for his location

in the metadata.

Once you find that,
you can look into his location...

Althea, I'm not as fast as you.

I will write it down.

Don't have much time.

We're gonna have
to split this up.

Leif blew up Clementine.
He's mine.

Althea shen.

To what do I owe the pleasure?

Just want to talk.

About what?

My sister.

I know you're still mad she
took down your operation,

landing you here.

I know about your letters.

Since when is it
a crime to write letters?

Yeah, but, see, I don't
think you stopped there.

Hmm...

We got your message, leif.

You've been messing
with the family business.

I don't know how you did it,

but I know you're
obsessed with Nicky.

Well, speaking of obsessions,

remember yours...
Your baby, your love,

your darling Clementine?

How'd you even get that in here?

I heard you might be
paying me a visit,

and I have my ways.

Now, if you'll
excuse me, althea,

I'm feeling a bit peckish.

I'm in.

Evan, on phone:
Any sign of master Drake?

Not yet.

This is the location we pulled
off the metadata.

Maybe he moved on.

- She hurt me.
- Oh, I see him.

She took everything that I had.

We have one thing in common...

Our pain...

Derek wilmot, if you ever
mess with them again,

you'll be arrested.

Got it.

Our anger...

Allegra Caldwell
and Kendall Burton.

- Cut it out.
- Uh! Yah!

Our thirst for revenge

against the woman
that did this to us...

Uh! Ooh!

Nicky shen.

- That's right.
- Yeah.

- Yeah!
- Oh, I hate her.

The way she handled,
how she took a turn,

the responsiveness
of her brakes, mm!

I tell you, they don't make cars

like Clementine anymore.

Stop.

It must burn knowing

that I was the last
one to drive her.

After all your efforts,

you never even got the
change to say good-bye,

well, not before... pkhoo!

Tell me, althea,

what are you driving
these days...

Bubble-shaped hybrid?

Wait.
An American car?

I don't have a car.
I can't replace Clementine.

Even if I wanted to,
I can't afford it.

I lost my job.
I lost my home.

I'm a complete failure.

Now I just help my parents
at their business...

Shen family dry cleaners.

Wow. That's... mm.

Poor althea shen, right back

where she started,
the old family business.

Gotcha. My family
owns a restaurant.

I knew that.

No, you didn't, but you would've

if you were the one
really messing with us.

Mm, leif, you're no mastermind.

You're just bored. Hmm.

Wait. Wait.
Don't go.

Oh, and nice try,

but... that's
a tangerine.

Ohh, ok, Evan.
He is not alone.

Evan, on phone:
What do you mean?

And our anger doesn't define us.

He used those social media posts

to bring a bunch of my
former enemies together.

It's what we do with our anger.

Kendall, can you share with us

why you called
this meeting today?

This morning,
I saw my dad's newspaper,

and there was an article
about her family.

There was a photo
of that insufferable,

holier-than-thou smile of hers.

I got so mad, I had to do
something about it,

so I got into my dad's car,

and I drove
right down to the restaurant.

I wanted revenge so bad,
I could taste it.

What did you do next?

I texted you.

You talked me down,
and I came here.

You did the right
thing, Kendall.

The program is working.

We're all here to support
each other's journeys

and to help control our anger.

What virtue is that?

- Virtue 8.
- Virtue 8.

You've all made great
strides in traversing

the healing-from-anger pyramid,

but only those that subscribe

to the premium program
can truly reach

the apex of inner peace.

Yes, shifu.

Ok, Evan.
It is not them.

How do you know?

They're not planning anything.

They're just whining.

Drake's got a new grift

and a whole new
group of followers.

Hey.

What is she doing here?

Sorry to interrupt.

Oh, man, so good
to see you guys again...

Drake looking sharp
with those new threads

and Kendall... love the blonde...

D-man, and...

Benny!

Benny. Right. Huh.

It's so great that you guys

are working on all
this anger stuff.

Seriously, kudos,
so don't mind me.

I'm just gonna exit that door.

Master Drake, I'm feeling
it again, the rage.

I only answered
your post because I thought

we would be getting back at her.

I tried it your way, Drake,
but look at that face,

that smug, punchable face.

Hey.

You dislocated my shoulder.

You broke up my whole crew.

That's on me.

Students, please calm down.

Remember the virtues.

Yeah. Listen
to your shifu, guys.

I have been.

Virtue one... we all
deserve a second chance.

Yeah, a second chance
to kick your ass.

- Uh!
- Whoa!

Oh, that's real therapy.
Get her!

Aagh!

Aagh! Ooh!

- Uh!
- Aagh!

Uh! Oh!

- Uh!
- Oh! My eye!

- Huh!
- Eh!

Uh! Ohh...

Huh. Ah! Yah!

- Waah!
- Agh!

- Huh!
- Aah!

Waah!

Ohh...

Aah!

Ow! Ohh...

Sorry for your relapse.

Gonna be sore tomorrow.

Twice now you have
made a fool out of me,

unwound everything I've
painstakingly built,

brings to mind
virtue number 22...

Learn from your mistakes.

Oh! Ooh! Uh!

Ryan?

Are you ok?

I'll never be ok again.

Is seb here?

No. He just
stepped out.

Oh, good.

I need somewhere
to hide this from him.

It's a gift.

A knife as a gift.

Ryan, you know that's bad luck.

Well, I'll give him a penny.

Oh...
By the register.

He never goes there.

Oh, and, you know,

put this out in front, as well,

and then come back to help

because I need to get ready

for front of house.

Ok.

The handwriting is the same.

Oh...

We will let you
know before tomorrow.

Mei-li?

Hello, Mei-li.
Remember me?

Tracy, right?

You interviewed for
the line cook position.

Look, Tracy. I'm really sorry
you didn't get the job.

Liar!

What do you want?

I want to take away
your big night,

to hurt you like you hurt me.

Um... back to you
station, guys.

- Keep cooking.
- I told you not to open.

I'm sorry, Tracy, but
we are opening tonight.

Kubomoto. Nice.

I always dreamed of
a knife like this...

Of working in a
restaurant like this

with a chef like you.

Hey, mama.

You.

You're the one
who killed my dream.

I... who are you?

Tracy is a chef.

She came here last night.

Ok.

You don't even remember

the moment you stole
my future from me?

Maybe jog my memory.

Yesterday was the most
hopeful day of my life.

It was supposed to be the day
I got my first job.

I just knew I was gonna get it.

I was nice to
the other candidates,

but I knew
they were just amateurs,

not like me.

I'm the real deal.

Then you waltzed it,
all my work, my one shot.

Then you just...

Spit it out.

Mei-li: Ooh, looks
like Tracy is a no.

I've been rejected
from other restaurants before,

but not like that.

I'm sorry.

You worked hard.

You deserved a fair chance.

Cooking is all I've ever loved.

There will be other jobs,

but tonight,

this is our one opening night,

so put the knife down, please.

- Ok.
- Ok.

- So you'll admit it.
- Admit what?

That my dumpling was good.

I need you to say it.

Y-Yes. Yeah.

It was so yummy,

it was the best
dumpling I've ever had,

like flavor town in my mouth.

Umami, like, you hit it,

and I wished that there
was more than one.

I'm sorry.
I'm a really bad liar.

D'agh!

Oh! Is that
a kubomoto?

- Yeah. I got it for you.
- Aww.

No. Tracy, stop.

A little help here?

- Uh! Uh!
- Uh!

- Yaah!
- What is she, a gymnast?

Get back here.

- Huh!
- Yaah!

Over here, over here.

It's over, Tracy.

- Ugh!
- Oh!

Ryan, head her off.

She's going after the plants.

Mei-li:
Those are brand-new!

- Ugh!
- What the...

Little girl, stop.
Oh, not the bonsai.

Please, calm down.
Calm... oh!

Oh, she's so strong.

Oh, no, no, no, no.
Wait, wait. No, no.

- Aah!
- Oh!

Oh!

Hey!

- Stop!
- Not that! Hey now!

No.

Yah!

No, no!

- Oh.
- Huh.

- No!
- Ohh!

Yes!

Good luck
with the grand reopening.

Uh!

Ohh...

Wha... what happened?

- Did she do all this?
- Yep.

What do we do now?

What the hell happened?

Oh...

I can explain everything.

Huh.

Carrie, it's a crazy story.

Mei-li, I have been through

a lot of opening nights,
none quite like this,

but we've got customers
lined up around the block.

Press is scheduled to show,

got an entire dinner
service to prepare

in one hour.

Ok, everyone.

Let's get to work.

J.m3: ♪ hot sauce,
licking my claws ♪

Let's get you both patched up.

I tried to tell her,

not everyone
is meant to be a cook.

It never made sense.

She's so naturally athletic.

Yeah.
I noticed that.

Thank you for
not pressing charges.

You're welcome.

J.m3: ♪ na na na na na
na na na ♪

Lao-po, at least this is clean.

Mm.

Ha ha ha!

Thank you.

J.m3: ♪ hey, yeah, yeah

Lao-po...

Let's go.

Ah.

Do the honors, mama.

Welcome to Harmony
dumplings, everyone.

We're so glad to have you back.

Come on in. Ha ha!

Hi. Hi.

- It's so nice to see you.
- Thank you. Hi.

Hi.

It's so good, crispy and juicy,

no, but also mustard wasabi.

Have you tried it?
Oh, it's delicious.

The tofu
with the mustard wasabi...

Ok, perfect.

It sounds delicious.

Mama looks so happy,

and none of the guests
have any idea.

Not a clue...
Except for my hands.

I'll never get this
lobster smell out.

So have you texted Bo, yet?

No, but I'm ready.

Today showed me
you can't control

how people will
react to your words.

Everything happened
because someone

I've never even met
overheard something

I barely remember saying.

I can't over think it,

just have to start
the conversation.

That sounds like
a very smart idea.

Mm. Even the rice
is gorgeous.

How's everyone
enjoying the food?

- Oh, babe, it is delicious.
- It is beautiful.

Glad to hear it.

So you gonna tell me
how you got your hands

on a real kubomoto?

Uh...

Never...

And how in the world

are you ever gonna repay me?

I got some ideas.
Enjoy, everyone.

Evan...

Yeah?

You should hire me.

You need an investigator,
and today I realized

I've got the chops.

I'm great with research.

I'm a good people
person, and turns out,

I can crack criminals
like an egg.

I know my hands are tied

because I can't
use the Internet,

but I can feed you
the instructions

in case we need
to hack anything,

so what do you think?

You've been saying you
need an investigator

and how impressed you
were with althea today.

Yeah. Yes.

It's just, you know
I can't pay much right now.

Evan, I'm living at home.

I need a paycheck, any paycheck.

Well, in that case, it's a deal.

Welcome to the firm.

Great job, babe.

Oh, oh, I am
so happy to see you.

Thank you for inviting me, Jin.

You and your family
has been so kind to me.

Sure. You are
family, too.

Oh. Excuse me, mm?

Anthony. Wow.

What a pleasant surprise.

The head of a women's
professional association

- called me today...
- Oh.

Said she spoke with you
at a luncheon.

Oh.

The organization
decided to endorse me

in the primary.

Oh, really?

Yeah, thanks to you.

Ha ha!

My t-shirts.

See, this is the fresh thinking

I hired you for.

Hey, anything for the campaign...

Ha ha ha!
Speaking of which,

I want to talk to you
about the nature

of my work, you know,
like, my day-to-day role.

- Hmm.
- Hey, come sit here. Come on.

You know, it's great.

Yeah.

Because I wouldn't touch it.

I just wouldn't touch it.

- Hey!
- Oh, ho ho! Yeah.

- Good to see you, man.
- Good to see you.

Thank you.
Hey, guys.

Try the mustard.
It is delicious.

Business is good, Mei-li.

Carrie, about earlier,

I know you're supposed
to report back.

No point spoiling
good news with bad.

Oh.

Congratulations to both of you.

Oh. Uh-huh.

Ahh...

Well, it ain't '97.

Ha ha! 2022.

A very good year.

Uh-huh.

- Mm-hmm.
- Mm-hmm.

To an amazing first 25 years

and to the next.

The kids?

Oh, uh-uh, just us Lao-po.

- Mm-hmm.
- Ok.

Cheers.

Greg, move your head.

Nice shot, mom.
