Mr. Kerwin. Mr. Kerwin!
We weren't expecting you!
Where's juliette?
Where's my sister?
Son... Something
Horrible has happened.
A young woman... Mia.
She broke in.
She came for me.
She k*lled your sister.
Uhh!
No.
Zhilan's cameras caught her
Busting into the tan mansion.
But no footage of her leaving.
So, mia's still
In there with tan.
Maybe zhilan has more intel.
No. We're leaving
Her out of this.
Ok, so, we know
Mia wants vengeance.
She stormed into
Tan's mansion,
But there have been no signs
Of police activity since,
So, we have to
Assume tan's got her.
He did it. He has everything.
The yueling bell, the
Mallet, the sheet music.
And mia. Everything he needs
To create a massive earthquake
To open a door to this realm.
Where somehow he'll
Seize immortality.
So, the quake is
What, a side effect?
I don't know a
Lot about magic,
But it doesn't seem that crazy
That ripping a
Hole in the cosmos
To get to another
World would have
Some pretty big
Knock-on effects.
Do you really think
His plan will work?
The power of jyu sa is real.
I felt it. And we
Saw sloan's video.
It happened before.
I need to get mia
And stop this.
You can't just ride
Into tan's mansion
Without a plan.
There might be a smarter way.
If we tip off the cops
That mia's been abducted,
I might be able
To get a swat team
Inside tan's estate.
Wouldn't you need
Proof? You can't really
Tell them the whole story.
I'm still friendly
With someone
On the specialized
Unit division.
Pretty sure if I ask a favor,
He'll come through.
Evan, this could
Blow up in your face.
Aren't you trying to
Get your job back?
I'm done.
Besides, burning
My last bridge?
That's a small
Price to save mia...
And our city.
The woman you and juliette
Have been hunting for months,
The one who's evaded
You all this time,
Why would she just storm in?
I think everything
We did to mia...
She finally snapped.
And she went after juliette?
Father...
I know everything.
Juliette. She came to me.
Your sister and I,
We had our disagreements.
But I saw the light.
We worked it out.
We reached a new
Understanding.
That's where mia broke in.
She was after me.
This is my fault.
Juliette d*ed because of me.
Forgive me, my son.
We are all we have left.
We can still finish
What your sister and
I started... Together.
Will you join me?
All clear. No
Sign of the girl.
My team's still
Looking but so far,
No evidence of kidnapping,
Foul play, or the tans.
We know she was here, adrian.
You saw the
Surveillance footage.
Well, she's gone.
I went out on a
Limb for you, man.
Heard the rumors.
Why you really quit your job?
Didn't want to believe
'em, but now...
I'm sorry.
Just get outta here.
Evan? Evan:
Found something.
Could be useful. No
Sign of tan or mia.
What? We had eyes
On the place.
There were some
Exits that zhilan's
Cameras didn't cover.
They've must've slipped
Away. They're gone.
Where is he?
He's in there.
No, no.
Did I...
Help! Help! Nicky!
I pulled the serial
Number and hacked into
The company's user database.
It's juliette's phone.
How'd her phone
Get under a couch
Covered in blood?
Juliette is russell's
Right-hand woman.
There's gotta be something
Useful on her phone.
I'm on it.
Tan's probably taken mia
To wherever he intends
To ring the bell.
So, where would he go?
Well, we know he's been using
Jacob sloan's
Playbook but we still
Don't know where
He rang the bell
In 1906.
Maybe tan figured it out.
Brought mia and the
Bell to the same spot?
That's not a bad theory.
We have to find him.
He could ring that
Bell at any moment.
There is someone I
Could reach out to.
Someone who knows a
Lot about this stuff.
Got to admit... I'm
Surprised you called.
Yeah, it's kind of an
All-hands-on-deck situation.
Tan's got mia. We figured
The wan zai might
Know something.
Do you have any idea where
Tan plans to ring that bell?
All we know is sloan intended
To make jiaming ring the bell
Over a geothermal hotspot.
Locations of unusual
Thermal energy. Anomalies.
San francisco's
Got dozens of them.
Sloan thought they had
Mystical properties.
Properties that
Could open the door
To another world?
Wait, that could
Narrow the search.
I'll... I'll let
You go. Thanks, dad.
I got time.
After what went down
With the ritual,
The organization
Sided with yuen.
Wait. They kicked you out?
The wan zai was
Your whole life.
I did what I knew was right.
No regrets.
Just 'cause they cut you loose
Doesn't mean you have
To give up the fight.
Help us stop tan.
How? My best play
Against tan came to nothing.
What play?
Eric han and I...
We were working
Together on a project.
He was building a sonic device
That he believed could
Scramble the tones
Of the yueling bell.
In theory, it could be used
To prevent the earthquake.
And stop tan's door to
Immortality from opening.
What happened to it?
Han's in no condition to
Finish the device and...
Tech isn't really my forte.
I could help. I've
Heard han speak.
I've studied his research.
If we put our
Heads together...
We could finish the device.
But it's in the wan zai bunker
And I've lost my clearance.
When have locks stopped us?
According to henry's dad,
Jacob sloan used this map
To decide where to ring
The yueling bell in 1906.
Assuming tan's following
In sloan's footsteps,
He's gonna ring the bell
In one of these hotspots.
I need you two to
Cross-reference
Tan's real estate holdings,
See if there are any matches.
All right. We're on it.
Thank you. Althea,
Any luck on juliette's phone?
Sorry. This
Phone's mega-encrypted.
I'll keep trying.
Evan? Evan: yeah.
This whole time I've
Been helping you,
I thought we were
Just rooting out
Corruption in the city.
So, what's all
This stuff about
Ancient bells and 1906
And stopping an earthquake?
Uh, look, nadia... We
Make it through today,
I promise I will explain
Everything to you,
But right now...
We gotta focus.
Yeah.
Dennis, I told you it's
Really not a good
Time right now.
Babe, I know, but
I just came back
From the office and I think
You need to hear this.
Hear what?
It's about your app.
Courtney was onboarding me
And she gave me a
Look under the hood.
And? Dennis: and...
There's a flaw in our code.
Turns out it gives us
Unauthorized backdoor access
To our users'
Operating systems.
Uh, dennis?
That's illegal.
How could this even happen?
Remember your coder... Dawn?
The one you put in charge of
Privacy, security,
And user permissions?
I gave her responsibilities
And empowered her.
I didn't tell her
To turn my app
Into a trojan horse
For illegal spyware!
I don't think it was
Intentional, althea.
Oh, god. We are at market now.
If this gets out, I will
Never work in tech again
And we will be
Sued into oblivion.
Courtney's looking for a fix.
But every second we
Stay on the market,
We're risking
Someone discovering
The privacy violation.
Babe, what do you want to do?
I don't know,
Dennis. I just...
See if courtney can close
The backdoor with a band-aid.
I have to focus on
Saving the world.
All righty.
A little something to
Keep you guys going.
Thank you.
Thank you, baba.
Hey.
What's this?
Oh, mama wanted to make sure
You weren't starving.
When's the last time you ate?
Thank you. Jin: mm-hmm.
Nicky, you know I
Believe in you. Hmm?
I know, baba.
But I have to ask...
Have you thought it through?
What if we run out of time?
That's our city out
There, our people. Hmm?
We're doing everything
We can, baba.
I just... I hope it
Doesn't come to that.
Ok.
This is where
Everything will happen.
The bell will be rung,
Creating a door
To another realm.
Only there will
I be able to find
What I've been looking
For all these years...
The one thing
Money cannot buy.
What?
More time.
What is the use of
Building an empire
Only to lose your
Grip and turn to dust?
You want to live forever?
You think you can cheat death?
This is what I've
Been planning
All this time.
What I never had a chance
To tell your sister.
It is not just for me, son.
Parent and child
Must make this
Journey together.
That's why you
Made us compete.
Always pitting us
Against one another
For this.
I knew I could
Only share this gift
With one of you.
I suppose now your
Choice is easy.
I'm the last
Crayon in the box.
I know I was a hard
Parent, kerwin.
You may not believe it,
But I cared for
All of you equally.
Even when you betrayed me,
I admired you.
If you want to walk
Away from this gift...
I will understand.
Even if it means...
Giving it all up.
I love you, kerwin.
I will always love you.
Well, son?
I'll join you, father.
But what of the girl...
Mia? Where is she?
Nearby.
No, father. I need her to pay.
I need her to pay for
What she did to juliette.
Don't worry.
She will get what
She deserves.
Anything? Althea:
Ahh. No luck. Sorry.
Evan? Evan:
No breakthroughs yet.
Please don't come
Into the city today.
I can't explain,
But it's not safe.
Promise... Promise
You'll stay home.
Oh. Sorry...
It's ok.
We should prepare
For the worst.
Is it really you?
Shifu.
Ohh. I don't know what to do.
I've learned...
I've learned from the past.
I'm not doing it alone.
Everyone, my family,
Henry, my friends...
They're all doing
Everything they can,
Helping me find mia.
I'm trying everything,
But what if it's not enough?
What if I can't
Stop what's coming?
What if I fail?
Are you certain?
Certain you have
Tried everything?
You were offered
Help and you refused.
Zhilan? No.
She k*lled you.
She tried to turn
Mia into a k*ller.
You think she's changed?
That she can be redeemed?
This is not about redemption.
This is about you
Trusting your eyes.
You saw it, nicky.
Zhilan cares about mia.
I told you once before...
Look beyond the duality
Of good and evil.
You and zhilan are bound...
By destiny, by blood.
The warrior and the guardian?
You cannot escape
The connection.
How did you find me?
Althea hacked your cloud,
Triangulated your location.
Where you going?
Anywhere but here.
Heard there's an
Earthquake in the forecast.
If you're here to
Fight, little monk...
I'm not here to fight.
I'm here to work with you.
Zhilan, I need you.
You need my help now?
I thought I was a monster.
I need to stop russell tan
And I'm running out of time.
No one knows him
Better than you do.
Sorry. Your little
City is doomed
And I'm not going
Down with it.
So you're just giving up?
Right before your mortal enemy
Gets everything he wants?
I know when to cut my losses.
She hurt you.
I know you care about her.
Mia's in trouble
And she needs us.
Both of us.
Stay, zhilan. Fight with me.
But I thought nicky said
She had everything
Under control.
She does. In case
Things go south,
She wants us to be ready.
Just in case, mama.
How do we even prepare
For an earthquake?
Call our friends, tell
Them what's coming?
They won't believe us.
We're the only one who knows.
We need to get ready to
Handle the aftermath.
Well, I'm going to
Close up the restaurant.
We have plenty of water.
I'll start packing
Food for the community,
Just in case we lose power.
See? You can handle it.
I'll run over to
The community center
To set up a shelter, ok?
Just in case.
Yeah. Just in case.
Hey. You ok?
Yeah. Just...
Trying to wrap my
Head around all this.
I mean, you barely
Survived getting sh*t.
Now you're prepping the city
For a mystical big one.
Ahh. Dating ryan shen...
Never a dull moment.
I gotta go get
The clinic ready.
I'll check in with you soon?
Yeah.
Do what you gotta do,
But make me a promise.
Don't get hurt, huh?
I just got you back.
I'd rather not lose you again.
Cool?
Althea. What's up?
I finally cracked
Juliette's phone.
I compiled everything
I've learned
From tan's tech
Over the last year,
I wrote a program that targets
His vulnerable patterns and...
Any updates on tan's location?
Oh. I don't know yet. There's
So much to sift through.
But I found pictures,
Photos from a book
About xiao's magic.
Jyu sa, bloodlines.
There's a ton of
Stuff in here.
Send it to me.
I'm on it.
Hey.
Where have you been?
I pulled in some help.
Althea? Althea: uh...
Shall we get to work?
Mia. Mia: what
Are you doing here?
According to my father,
You broke into our house.
You k*lled my sister.
No, I didn't.
Please don't hurt me.
I'm getting you out of here.
What?
I didn't believe
A word he said.
According to these texts,
Juliette was plotting
A coup against her dad?
Could explain the
Blood on her phone.
You really think russell
Would hurt his own daughter?
There must be something,
A clue to where this
Is all going down.
What's that? Nicky:
One of jacob sloan's maps.
We think that tan plans to ring
The bell in one of these hotspots.
Evan's been
Digging into tan's
Public real estate holdings,
Looking for a match.
Well, that's a waste of time.
Wouldn't tan want to
Stage his big event
Somewhere where his
Enemies don't know about?
Somewhere off the books.
Made our way down the list.
Ruled out all possible...
Yeah. We know.
I'm nadia. Nice to meet you.
Zhilan is right.
We need to be looking
Into tan's other properties.
Something hidden.
Maybe something new?
Juliette had a bunch of recent
Correspondence with eric pascal.
The ceo of
Mm-hmm.
According to these texts,
Tan corp was
Buying out zindle.
Why would zindle
Sell out to tan?
They're huge, right?
They were building
A new campus in the city.
Actually, they
Suspended construction
A couple weeks ago.
The company's vulnerable.
Zindle's being investigated
For their business practices...
Improper collection
Of personal data,
Violation of user security...
Perfect time to strike,
When your enemy is weak.
Ok, wait.
Zindle's abandoned campus?
Right in the center of
One of these
Geothermal anomalies.
Why are you helping me?
I won't let him win.
Kerwin. You should go.
No. I'm not leaving you.
Please go.
If you get caught,
You can't help me.
I'll never do it, you know?
Ring your stupid bell.
Oh, mia.
Who said anything about you
Ringing the bell?
Do you know what that is?
The dagger that k*lled suyin,
The first hybrid.
She was the most
Powerful being on the planet.
Undefeated.
Until the band of
Guardians and warriors
Came together...
And crafted this blade.
I thought using it now
Would be... Fitting.
You're just gonna k*ll me?
You brought us a toaster?
It's a frequency emitter.
Captures sonic frequencies
And then emits a distortion
That scrambles
The original tone.
Now, it may not
Look like much, and
To be honest,
We're not 100% sure
It'll even work, but
If tan rings that bell,
This could be our
Last chance at
Stopping an earthquake.
One catch... The
Device'll only work
In close range to the bell.
Which brings us back to
Zindle. How do we get in?
The building wasn't
Even finished yet
But their security is no joke.
They use proximity
Cards for access.
I can write a program
For your phone
And if you get close
Enough to a card reader,
I can spoof it.
Sounds simple.
Might be doable, but
Check out this map.
Zindle's campus takes
Up an entire block.
Finding mia, tan, and
The bell won't be easy.
Not to mention the
Place is gonna be
Crawling with tan's security.
We've got your back.
I'm coming, too.
How can I help?
You've done enough.
Thank you, nadia.
Go. Be with your family.
Ok.
Be careful.
I had no idea.
Really?
Mia.
What has he done to you?
I'm getting you out of here.
Heading to the rear entrance.
Stay put. Keep out of sight.
I don't take orders.
It's not an order,
Zhilan. It's the plan.
Copy, nicky.
Waiting for your signal.
Hey, you!
Stay right there.
Good thing I
Never listen to you.
Ok. We're in position.
Althea, do your thing.
I'm on it.
Hang on.
Damn it.
Any progress? Althea: I'm
Accessing the security gateway.
Althea? Althea: I'm not
Opening a jar of pickles here, nicky!
You did it.
Wait. What? That wasn't me.
Mia could be anywhere.
We're probably
Gonna have to search
This place one room at a time.
That might
Not be necessary.
Whoever took down
The building security
Left the firewall vulnerable.
I'm in. Nicky, this
System is insane.
It tracks every security
Badge in real time.
Can you pull up the grid?
Tan's probably
Got a bunch of men
Around the bell.
Right now there's a cluster
In the northeast basement.
Gotta be
Wait.
I'm in the I.D. Directory.
I see russell's last location.
He's on the other
Side of the campus.
Send me the coordinates.
Henry, you guys get
Close to the bell.
Set up the device.
Evan, zhilan, and I
Will go after tan.
I'm guessing he's
Close to mia.
Good luck with your toaster.
We'll be ready.
Where are you going, son?
I was coming to find you.
Is that right?
You weren't looking
For the girl?
You've miscalculated, kerwin.
I already have all
I need from her.
You're the one I need
Now. I told you...
We will make this
Journey together.
I know you k*lled juliette.
I'm not going anywhere.
I'd rather burn in hell
Than spend an
Eternity with you.
I'm afraid you don't have
A say in this matter.
The bell should
Be right below us.
Close enough for this to work?
This is as close
As we're gonna get
Without exposing ourselves.
Hopefully nicky stops tan
Before we have to find out.
Althea, tan's not here.
Hang
On. His I.D. Just pinged.
He's moved upstairs. Room 219.
Nicky. Nicky: hold
On. Did you hear that?
Nicky. Nicky: mia? Mia?
What happened? Oh,
My god. Your arm.
Room 219? I'm ending this now.
Wait, zhilan.
Russell tan...
Drained my blood.
He doesn't need me anymore.
Kerwin tried to help me.
We gotta get her
To a hospital.
Come here. All
Right. That's it.
Easy. Easy. Easy. Easy.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. All
Right. Are you gonna be ok?
Yeah. Just hurry.
Ryan, what is it?
I think I found something.
I've been going
Through the contents
Of juliette's phone.
She found all the research
Her father compiled on xiao.
She was convinced
Russell was trying to
Bring back her dead
Brother raymond.
So, this is about
Resurrection?
That's what juliette thought.
But I think she was wrong.
One of xiao's spells
Is called chong sheng,
Which juliette translated
As resurrection.
But the term can also
Mean rebirth, renewal.
Xiao came to the conclusion
The only way to achieve this
On earth was through
Transmutation...
The transferring
Of a person's soul
From one body to another.
How is that even possible?
Some kind of
Creepy ritual...
Dark magic, ancient masks.
According to xiao,
A soul can only pass
Between a parent and a child.
"Only one can
Survive the process."
Zhilan.
Kerwin?
What are you doing here?
What is this?
Zhilan, get back.
That's not kerwin.
Who was that?
Russell tan.
Uhh!
Don't look so
Surprised. I told you...
Big changes are coming.
Despite my new form,
You still answer to me.
It is time.
Uhh!
We're not getting
Through that way.
Uhh! Nicky: althea,
Any luck on that override?
Someone got
The system back online.
Ok. I'm working
As fast as I can.
Was that the bell?
That's not good.
We're up.
Althea, I... I need
You to get word out.
Warn mama, baba,
Whoever you can.
We're gonna try to
Stop this, but just...
Make sure everyone's safe.
Done.
Good luck.
Althea? Have you
Heard anything?
It's time.
Ryan is here.
I'll let him know.
I'll tell mama.
You be safe.
It's working.
I thought doorframes
Were better.
No. This is the safest place.
I can't do
What?
I can't just hide
Under a table.
We need to warn more people.
We don't have time to call
Everyone in the phone book.
Besides, who would
Even believe us?
The app. We have 30,000
Local subscribers.
And an illegal backdoor
Into their phones.
Althea...
I could take over their
Push notifications,
Fake an official
Warning from the city.
Ok, that's...
Super illegal.
I know.
You know what this means.
There'll be no hiding the bug.
From users,
Investors, the police.
You could lose everything.
Your company, your reputation.
Dennis, this'll save lives.
I don't have a choice.
It's ready.
Remain calm. Stay
Away from the windows.
Mei-li. We've
Gotta take cover.
We got company.
You ok, son?
Yeah, I'm fine. I...
Dad!
Dad? Hey, hey,
Look at me, look at me.
Hey, we're gonna get
You out of here, ok?
Stay with me. Hey. Dad?
Stop! Russell/kerwin:
Oh, you're here.
Too late. Your
Last-ditch effort
To stop the song of yueling.
It appears my men
Have taken care of it.
You k*lled your own son.
Those who aspire to greatness
Must also make the
Greatest sacrifices.
Why did he have to die?
I took your cousin's
Blood to ring this bell,
To cross into the other realm.
But what would be the point?
Seizing immortality...
Only to be trapped
In an old man's body.
It had to be this way.
Kerwin's spirit may be gone,
But a part of him
Will live forever,
Through me.
Monster!
Zhilan?
Ooh!
Nicky!
It's done.
Greg, move your head.
