I was standing right there. You gave me five bucks to keep quiet. They put you in the copy room. With a And that's what Rand is to me. My father, Wendell Rand , instilled in me a love and respect for this company that has never faded.
I left here, ten years old, on a jet with my parents. We never reached our destination. I lost my family in that crash, and I became the lone survivor. I then was rescued by monks and raised in a monastery , a much different life to what I had here in New York.
Ultimately, it taught me the value of life of hard work of never giving up on the things that matter to me. And Rand matters. Even found his old desk. Now, don't get all weepy on me. It's just, uh It's been a while. This is crazy. I used to stick stickers under my dad's desk.
They're still there. Now, we can continue this walk down memory lane, but since it is all billable hours, what do you say we get to work? For the record, I have never seen a deal come together so fast. What did you do? So, uh So as much as you don't have a say in the day-to-day business--" "My voice will still be heard.
Do you think we can get access to the Rand business accounts and records? Word to the wise? Ease into things. For most of these people, you are a hostile takeover. Yeah, sure. No problem. Don't foul it up. Once I'm done signing all this They were, like, real deal, robe-wearing Shaolin-type bald monks? Just try not to come to work wearing one of those robes, yeah? Certainly was quite the entrance. While you weren't necessarily wrong I don't know, pushed down.
Locked away. That makes any sense? Yeah, it does" "Your coming back has You know, my parents It was horrible. I just didn't think that Dad would like it either, so I had to do the right thing. This is the one thing I know I can do better than anyone else. I am the only one who can defeat them. You bring drugs in my office? He's head of the Yang Clan Company. It's a front.
It's a criminal syndicate. Hai-Qing Yang used to have a deal at our pier. When we bought it, we shut them out. Now, they got pretty angry, but don't worry, I cleared it up. I asked Hai-Qing what the Hand wanted with the pier, and then they sent me a box. This was inside. It's a message.
Look at the symbol on the bag. It's the symbol for Shou-Lao the Undying. Shou-Lao made me a living weapon. It's all connected. Let me make this simple. The Hand is using our company to smuggle synthetic heroin into the city. We need to stop it. Harold said so himself. You were there. But Harold--" "That's between the two of you.
I have real business in the real word to deal with. I'll leave you to it then. But sometimes I'd sneak out with my friend Davos. We'd, uh, go eat some donkey. My grandmother could stir-fry the shit out of donkey and veggies.
Show me your style. Check this out. Let's get going. We need your phone to take pics. You got it? The office has been calling. I promise. I have a vision of total victory and nothing else. It's the reason I've gotten this far. Defeat has no place in my mind. You must be a double-edged sword. Drive all other thoughts out of your mind except this You're right.
The Hand was a myth drummed into me. I've never met them face to face. If you wish to continue as you are, do not enter. But if you choose to face the dragon inside, know that you risk everything. Should you live Are you willing to kill Danny Rand so that the Iron Fist might live? Because weapons don't feel pain. They are meant for one thing and one thing only.
To be used by their master. Who is your master? Bury your mother. Bury your father. You belong to me and to me alone. You must submit, can you do it? Withdraw from the duel, and she'll be spared. They were going to kill you, Danny. Why didn't you summon the Iron Fist? I just used it at the tournament. It drains my chi. The tournament?
That's where you met her? The woman behind the curtain. If I won, she said the Hand would leave New York. All that matters is they're onto us. We need to move fast. Her name is Madame Gao. I, uh, met her on my deathbed. She's the one who made the deal, Danny. Live in service of the Hand or die in the dark. If Wendell knew Gao or the Hand, he never shared it with me. That's what she wants. Time isn't on our side.
Look how out of control this has already gotten. What I had to do to protect you. I don't know how much more of this I can take. You know what needs to be done to end this, Danny. I'll take care of 'em. I'll make 'em disappear. Gao will know they're missing, but as long as it looks as though they did their job before they left It's the mark of the Iron Fist.
It's hard. You don't have to say anything. I just wanted to. I watched my mom die, too. Only, I didn't know it at the time. I was young and He wasn't really great with other people. One day, she was just gone and I didn't know what had happened to her. It wasn't until years later that I realized she was sick. I always felt kinda I don't know. It doesn't matter how much anyone else cares for you. It's not the same. How are you connected to these people? It's a sacred symbol from K'un-Lun.

It doesn't matter how it happens, just as long as it does. It scares me. I'm completely out of control. I have no idea what I'm doing.
And this from someone who has always been in complete control. So it's my fault? But unlike you, I've remained true to my vow. You're here to punish, not protect. You're wearing your oath like a mask. Tell me, Iron Fist Do you truly believe that's where I will end up? Can I talk to you for a minute?
How are you? You're not allowed here anymore. I just, um I need your help. I really like this job, Mr. I need this job. There's no one else I can turn to. I don't wanna know. It's not the dojo. But it's the safest place I know. How do you feel? I'm tired. Saved my life. What's wrong?
Did you talk to her? Working an angle. Trying to get me to question everything. Even you. There was a ceremonial knife in his office. I recognized it because men from the Hand used one like it. Give me a chance to explain--" "Explain what? The Hand are murderers and killers! It was She doesn't represent us. That she's the bad Hand and you're the good Hand? You've been lying to me this whole time!
I didn't Make it make sense. Because right now, all I'm hearing are lies and evasion--" "I already met you! I already felt the way I feel. Because that's what all of this is about, isn't it?
