It's Chao, goddammit! Let me in!
Why are you helping me?
MAI LING: We may not like each other,
but today, we're Chinese,
and they're not.
And that's all that matters.
YOUNG JUN: We spend every day
living in their world,
but today
they're gonna die in ours.

It's a good likeness.
What the fuck happened to you?
You caught outside yesterday?
This was unrelated.
I got cocky.
- Who was it?
- It's okay.
I didn't leave anyone alive
for you to punish.
You shouldn't be out like this.
After yesterday,
just needed to come outside
and make sure it was still here.
Looks like you had quite the day.
- Oh, that?
[scoffs]
That's just a painting.
- Nose is too big.
- [laughs]
Regardless, it's an opportunity.
You're a symbol to your people.
- It's paint on a wall.
It'll fade.
But it's here now.
People will follow you.
You could win a war.
Or end one.
- I don't call the shots.
Young Jun does.
Young Jun doesn't have
his face on a wall.
- Hey. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- [groans]
- Let's get you home.
- No.
[moaning]
Do you know why I'm alive?
Why?
Because Mai Ling saved me.
What?
She's done some terrible things,
and she'll probably
do more of them.
But when she saw me dying,
she stepped in to save me.
This place,
none of us can be our best selves.
We're too busy just trying
to survive.
We need a hero. [chuckles]
Someone to remind us
who we really are,
or who we could be.

What the fuck is this?
I can't do it anymore.
Lee, wait.
Look, we all think that
from time to time,
and after yesterday
I can't say I blame you,
but yesterday was not
business as usual.
Wasn't it?
Hooligans killing the Chinese,
gangsters killing hooligans,
and police in the middle
unable to do a damn thing
- about any of it.
- Listen.
We're not meant to succeed, Bill.
We're just bagging flies
for politicians
while they count their votes.
That's what I've been telling you
since the day you got here.
Then why do it?
Because there's still
a chance, Lee.
In between all the shit
and all the politics,
there's still a chance every day
to do some good,
to keep the peace.
I've seen enough war
to know the value in that.
And in lining your own pockets.
You're a smart guy, Lee,
so I'm not gonna try to tell you
I haven't made mistakes,
and God knows they've cost me.
I haven't known you for very long,
but I do know that
you're better than this.
I hope one day
you actually believe that.
You're young.
But maybe it's not
because you're young.
Maybe it's just because
you're a better person than me.
Either way
We need you here.
I need you.
Don't quit. Not now.

I'm sorry.
I just don't think
I'm cut out for it.
Lee.
You can teach a pig to hunt,

And what does that mean?
It means you're a cop;
not anything else.

Guess I'll find out.
♪
It's easier
when it's another tong.
Then you can at least
plan a counterattack.
But you can't fight an entire city
or country, for that matter.
No, I guess you can't.
Well,
I guess I'm relieved
to hear you say that.
It's hard not to want to, though.
Yes, it is.
But believe me.
The battles
you choose not to fight
are every bit as important
as the ones you do.
I'm sorry about everything.
I really didn't want it
to happen that way.
Maybe that was the fight
we both needed.
We had our heads
so far up our own asses,
something had to give.
You grow old on the outside,
but inside
Inside I still feel like I'm 25
and itchy as shit,
and that's a dangerous feeling
for a man my age.
It's good to have you back.
I'm not back.
It's your show now.
[brooding music]
You know that weight you feel,
that worry that
you can't quite pinpoint?
Yeah.
Learn to live with it.
♪
Well, you inherited
one hell of a mess there,
Mr. Buckley.
That incident in Chinatown
the other day was a nightmare.
- A real black eye on this city.
- Yes, it was.
A holdover from
my predecessor's weak position
on the Chinese problem.
It's my position that
the Chinese don't belong
in this country, Mr. Oswald.
Captains of industry like you
and you, Mr. Clemmons,
continue to build your fortunes
around Chinese labor,
you'll be in for
a terrible reckoning
when the federal government
finally expels them.
- [exhales sharply]
[glass clacks on table]
We had hoped you would take
a more sympathetic approach,
Mr. Buckley.
If you intend on
going down this road,
you'll lose a lot of
friends around here.
We're not friends, Mr. Clemmons.
The sooner you understand that,
the sooner you'll sit back down
and we can make a deal.
A deal?
You gentlemen will be among
the first to support my position.
And in exchange
for your patriotism,
I'm going to offer you
Very quietly
A handful of financial incentives
to mitigate your
increased labor costs.
Incentives?
Are you happy, Mr. Buckley?
They killed him in the street
like a dog.
Gentlemen,
we'll have to pick this up
another time.
- Yeah.
- Sir.
Ma'am.
Mrs. Blake,
would you like a drink?
They lynched Jacob,
and you didn't make
a single arrest.
Lower your voice,
or do you want everyone
to hear you grieving
the wrong man?
You could have told the truth.
You know Jacob
didn't murder Samuel.
Do I?
But instead you were determined
to cast yourself as the hero
for your new constituency.
I'm going to see
that you pay for this.
You know,
I used to enjoy coming here
because no one bothered me.
You made this happen.
You may as well
have killed him yourself.
- I'm sorry.
Who are we talking about here?
I'm losing track,
what with the trail of bodies
in your wake.
You just inherited
the Blake fortune.
Without Jacob, you'd be on trial
for murdering your husband.
So if you're here
to express your gratitude,
pull up a stool.
No?
Now be a good widow and go home.
Nelson, can we help Mrs. Blake
to her carriage?
She's clearly very distraught.
- Of course
- I'm fine.
You like to sit there
in the shadows,
pulling everyone's strings.
We'll see how you like it
when someone else
starts pulling on yours.

I didn't think it.

It got real quiet.
Everything just slowed down,
and I could just feel it,

You're not actually welcome here.
I just wanted to come in person
to pay my respects

on taking the chair.
And now you have.
I know you and your father
didn't see eye to eye
with regard to our treaty,
but I hope you'll give me
the chance to prove
that we can all make more money
if we work together.
Oh.
Is that the pitch
you gave the Fung Hai?
Because it didn't work out
too well for them, did it?
The Fung Hai were a mistake.
I'll admit that.
Like you, I'd just become
the head of the tong,
and in my desire to make changes,
- I acted impulsively.
- Mm.
And now that we've wiped them out,
you're suddenly here
to pay respects?

Look at what's happening
around us.
Just two days ago
they were killing our people
in the streets, in their homes,
destroying their businesses.

Hell, you could've been working
both sides all along.
You might have even thrown
that tournament for her.

I'm talking.
The thing is,
you didn't throw that tournament.
You were trying to kill Li Yong.
And Li Yong was gonna kill you

I know what I saw.
And when Father Jun
kicked you out,
you didn't ask to come back.
That would have been the time
to join the Long Zii,

So what does that make you?
That makes you an asshole
with a sister who you hate,
who hates you,

in the tong to find out,

The Chinaman was defending her.
She also claims that

[tense music]
What do you want?
The same as you, Mr. Buckley.
I want blood in the streets.
Gentlemen, this area here
is Hop Wei territory.
The Hop Wei are the most powerful
and brutally violent gang
in Chinatown.
This is where we'll start.
I don't love the idea
of sending my men
to do battle with that lot
on their streets.
They're our streets,
Chief Flannagan,
but rest assured,
we're not going
to fight on their terms.
We're going to fight with
the most powerful weapon
at our disposal, laws.
All the surrounding businesses
are the lifeblood
of the Hop Wei,
and we're gonna shut them down
by enforcing every
long-neglected ordinance
on our books. For example,
ordinance 234 concerning
the operation of brothels.
Ordinance 250
concerning the review
of every laundromat permit
in the area.
263 concerning maximum occupancies
in Chinatown apartments.
We will enforce these laws,
not by levying fines,
but by making arrests
and shutting down businesses.
Ordinance 275 is about
Empty promises.
As long as there's a buck
to be made with Chinese labor,
no one's gonna put
Americans back to work.
Mr. Leary,
you can't just walk in here.
This council doesn't recognize
you in these proceedings.
They all recognize me just fine.
And for those of you that don't,

You bastard!
- I'm sorry, Mr. Buckley.
- It's okay, Miss Foster.
So you're buying reporters now?
Don't be ridiculous.
I've been buying reporters
for years.
How do you think
I kept your husband
out of the papers for so long?
I will find one
that you don't own.
Are you so determined
to sully your
late husband's reputation?
Jacob didn't deserve
what you did to him.
Me? What did I do?
The police apprehended a suspect,
one whom you aided and abetted,
I might add.
Mrs. Blake,
you've been through
a terrible time
these last few months.
Your father died,
your business was destroyed,
and now your husband
has been killed
right in front of you.
Any one of these events would
be more than most could bear.

Is my sister home?

An episode?
A mental collapse of some kind.
She stabbed me in my office.
What?
Of course, I won't press charges.

[tense music]
What do you want?
The same as you, Mr. Buckley.
I want blood in the streets.
Gentlemen, this area here
is Hop Wei territory.
The Hop Wei are the most powerful
and brutally violent gang
in Chinatown.
This is where we'll start.
I don't love the idea
of sending my men
to do battle with that lot
on their streets.
They're our streets,
Chief Flannagan,
but rest assured,
we're not going
to fight on their terms.
We're going to fight with
the most powerful weapon
at our disposal, laws.
All the surrounding businesses
are the lifeblood
of the Hop Wei,
and we're gonna shut them down
by enforcing every
long-neglected ordinance
on our books. For example,
ordinance 234 concerning
the operation of brothels.
Ordinance 250
concerning the review
of every laundromat permit
in the area.
263 concerning maximum occupancies
in Chinatown apartments.
We will enforce these laws,
not by levying fines,
but by making arrests
and shutting down businesses.
Ordinance 275 is about
Empty promises.
As long as there's a buck
to be made with Chinese labor,
no one's gonna put
Americans back to work.
Mr. Leary,
you can't just walk in here.
This council doesn't recognize
you in these proceedings.
They all recognize me just fine.
And for those of you that don't,
you soon will.
