## Synopsis

The police shut down Chinatown in their hunt for a killer, just as the Hop Wei make a move that puts Mai Ling on edge. Buckley steps into a new role and considers a proposition from Leary, who faces questions from the Irish workingmen. Ah Toy fights for her life, while Chao faces a major dilemma.

## Plot

Hong explains his choice of a weapon to Ah Sahm and Young Jun. He used to know this gangster called the Violin Man. He was born into nobility, and he played from when he was two years old. His family was killed off during the revolution, and he ended up on the streets, where he learned how to scrap. He joined the tong, and after a while, his hands got so beat up from fights that he couldn't play anymore, so he pulled the strings off his violin and would carry them with him. And when he killed people, he would choke them out with the same violin strings, hence the violin man. With this story, Hong explains that the chain he fights with is his trademark. He has explained this to them as they sit in the middle of a Fung Hai den they've just raided.

Flashback to the Civil War, Buckley is badly injured, and his leg is in need of amputation due to a growing infection, unfortunately the only tool available is an old, rusty saw. Buckley then awakens from his sleep at the sound of the police at the door. Chief Flannagan informs him of Mayor Blake's murder and takes him to the scene of the crime and to see Penny, who they question about Blake's death. Penny reveals that Samuel was drunk and attacked her. He was strangling her and she couldn't breathe. Sophie tried to help, but he threw her into a wall. When Penny is reluctant to reveal that Jacob saved her, Sophie reveals it. Penny explains that he was just defending her, but Buckley simply wants an arrest.

As acting mayor, Buckley pulls Chief Flannagan to the side to tell him that he wants every man available searching for Jacob. He wants the Chief to put on a show before they go public with the mayor's death.

Rather than just burning the Fung Hai headquarters down, as Young Jun would prefer, Ah Sahm believes a better message is hanging their colors on their headquarters.

Mai Ling admits to having underestimated Ah Sahm after discovering that the Hop Wei took down what remained of the Fung Hai. She suspects that Ah Sahm is provoking her to break the treaty. Li Yong didn't think they'd move so quickly after Zing. Fortunately, Mai Ling knows of other people who aren't the least bit concerned with their treaties.

Young Jun grabs a drink with Father Jun to celebrate them taking out the Fung Hai without breaking the treaty, but Father Jun wonders how many men they lost in the process. He agrees that the Fung Hai need to go, but there was a smarter way to go about it. Young Jun has always been impulsive, by his father's account.

Chief Flannagan has updated the boys over at the precinct with the news of Mayor Blake's death. As far as they're concerned, Chinatown is closed, effective immediately. He wants every inch searched until they find Jacob. Bill notices that Lee looks horrible and questions if he's up for this, to which Lee replies that when the time comes, he's certain Bill will just take over and pin it on the first Chinese man he finds. He then confronts Bill for planting the watch after speaking with Timmons' widow. Lee at least know where to draw the line between good and bad, to which Bill asks, "What side of the line does killing your own kin fall on?" In a fit of rage, Lee punches Bill and slams him to the ground until Harrison and Stone intervene.

The workingmen are becoming antsy. They have no job nor money, and their families are going hungry. Leary reminds them that he's fighting for all of them and that change doesn't come overnight, but they're tired of waiting. They pay their dues on what little they make, and they're tired of waiting and watching the Chinese ride past every day on the way to their jobs. Leary reminds them that the mayor is on their side, and with him, they can force the coolies out.

Leary notices Sophie beaten and bruised and asks who did this to her. She reveals that Blake did it, but that he's also dead. He attacked her sister and was killed in the process by Jacob. With Blake gone, Leary wonders who is in charge.

Buckley is sworn in as Mayor of San Francisco. Meanwhile, Penny and Sophie prepare for Blake's funeral.

Bill leads the entire San Francisco Police Department in a raid of Chinatown in search of Jacob.

Buckley demands results, but Chief Flannagan has none to offer at the moment. Buckley wants a curfew in place as well as roadblocks. He wants the entire force on the streets and doesn't care what it costs.

Leary is concerned that the Chinese are straying from Chinatown more and more. Some may worry that the government has lost control of the Chinese situation all together. Even with the entire police force, they're still outnumbered, but Leary is willing to tip the odds in Buckley's favor. Leary proposes Buckley deputize a workingman for every cop he has to double his reach, but it's simply not a reasonable request, and he declines Leary's offer. Still, Leary takes the time to remind Buckley of Mayor Blake's promises to the workingmen. Buckley informs Leary that Mayor Blake never gave a speech that he didn't put in his mouth. But at the moment, he has more urgent matters to deal with.

Bill and Harrison enter Ah Toy's brothel in search of Jacob, but Ah Toy insists that she doesn't know him and that too many cops are bad for business. Bill has also come to inform her that a curfew has been instated. Everyone is shut down until they find the man they're after.

While searching for Jacob, Bill runs into Ah Sahm, who he hasn't seen since the tournament with Li Yong. He not only saw the fight, he stopped it and saved Ah Sahm's life. Ah Sahm questions what the extra force is for, and Bill reveals that Mayor Blake was murdered in his home by Jacob, who Ah Sahm insists that he doesn't know.

Buckley meets with Mai Ling, who congratulates him on his promotion. He needs to find Jacob as soon as possible. If she doesn't help him find Jacob, it'll mean the end of her opium supply and the beginning of a new era in Chinatown, one in which the Long Zii no longer have immunity to prosecution. Mai Ling can find Jacob, but she needs Buckley to help her take down the Hop Wei when the time comes.

Nellie comes by to check on Ah Toy after hearing about the curfew. She intends to head back out to the vineyard and was hoping Ah Toy would join her for a few days. Unfortunately, they are interrupted by Cleaver and Hammer. One of the men backhand Nellie, knocking her to the ground, before going after Ah Toy, who is outnumbered and out-powered, and takes a beating but manages to defend herself. Nellie comes to her aid again, stabbing one of her attackers in the back with a shard of glass, but he then throws her to the ground. Ah Toy witnesses this; fueled by her anger, she gains the upper hand and kills Hammer with a knife before retreating upstairs. Cleaver comes searching after her and follows the blood trail to her room, where he meets the sharp end of her sword. Ah Toy then returns downstairs to Nellie and tells her that she must leave, as she doesn't belong here and that her brothel is no place for a white woman.

Bill comes to Chao's defense when he's being roughed up and interrogated by one of the cops. Bill asks for Chao help with finding Jacob. Only then will the cops leave, but Chao has already given him so much as it is. He asks how many times does he have to do Bill's job for him. Chao explains that he doesn't know Jacob and is on his way.

Patterson awakens to noise in his home. He heads downstairs, where he finds Ah Toy sitting in his dining room, bloody and beaten, but alive, which is more than what can be said for Cleaver and Hammer, whose heads sit on the table. Patterson claims that he's innocent, but she isn't convinced and forced him to sign the paper to end their partnership. She warns him to leave immediately and that if she ever sees him again, she'll kill him.

Chao returns to his shop to discover that it had been broken into. With his pistol drawn, he slowly enters and finds Jacob hiding. With his hands held high, he pleads with Chao for help.
