Ah Sahm and Young Jun search for a discreet place to hide their product after striking a deal with a new opium supplier. As Lee becomes increasingly dependent on laudanum, he and Bill continue to investigate the swordsman murders. Mai Ling sends Li Yong and Zing to deliver a message to a rival tong. Penny asks for Ah Sahm's help in protecting her f...
Bill hunts down a man named Floyd, who owes a debt to the Fung Hai. Bill slams him down and forces the man to pay up.
Vega arranges for Ah Sahm and Young Jun to meet with a molasses source, Happy Jack. He is reluctant to work with anyone from the tongs, but Ah Sahm is willing to pay for a dozen crates and storage for it. However, Jack is not in the business of storing molasses, as it's too risky, and they'd have to pay more for storage. Nevertheless, Ah Sahm and Happy Jack come to an agreement to meet later that night.
In order to find their swordsman, Lee has been looking into the victimology. All those killed by the swordsman had a history of targeting the Chinese, leading Lee to suspect this is a vengeance scenario. However, Timmons and McCormick are the only victims not known to have expressed any type of anti-Chinese sentiment. They're the only inconsistency, leading Lee to go through Timmons finances for clues. The last deal Timmons made was selling a piece of property in Spring Valley to Leonard Patterson for $5,000, which Bill agrees to help him investigate.
An emergency meeting is hosted at Mayor Blake's office for all business owners after the recent bombing, which Penny attends. Leland's business was targeted and set ablaze. Chief Flannagan is already on the case, but Penny points out that they already know that Leary's workingmen are responsible. Merriweather agrees, noting that they'd be better served with those same officers guarding their work sites. Penny questions if they intend to do anything to protect their sites from Leary and his thugs.
As planned, Chao goes to visit Claire, a white woman with whom he has a child. He gives her some money to hold her over, though payment is light due to his shop being closed down. He notices her cleaning a new dress, though she assures him that she hasn't been "entertaining" if that's what he's thinking. Before leaving, he gives his daughter Hannah a spinning top to play with. When she calls him papa, he tells her to just call him a friend instead.
Bill and Lee meet with Patterson, who claims to have never met Timmons and that their business was conducted through the bank. Lee asks Patterson about his doubled bidding price, to which Patterson replies that he simply wishes to own the property and beat the other offers, but Lee isn't convinced. Bill asks if he ever does any business with the Chinese, which he insists he doesn't. They both suspect that he's hiding something, but Bill doesn't believe he's a killer.

A review of the second episode of Warrior season 2, a period drama and gang saga inspired by Bruce Lee. The episode features two action scenes, one involving Ah Sahm and Young Jun, and one involving Li Yong and Mai Ling.
The Chinese Exclusion Act was passed by congress and signed into law by President Arthur in 1882, so this provides some indication of where Warrior is set in time.
Oct 12, 2020 · Warrior Episode 2, “The Chinese Connection,” does a lot of work to situate the residents of Chinatown into a larger narrative. While last season was focused on warring Tongs, season 2 seems to be focussed on how Ah Sahm and the other characters are interacting with the world around them.
While Warrior Season 2 Episode 2, “The Chinese Connection,” is a tad quieter than usual, it’s making a lot of interesting progress within its characters, one of its major strengths. They’re all marching toward a potential of doom with business deals and politics playing them against one another, but it’s through the calmer moments ...
