Interior Chinatown 1.04

Kung Fu Guy

Willis spends a lot of time reviewing video tape of his brother. His brother was Kung Fu Guy, the Chinatown specialist and martial arts expert that the cops called on for help. Lana joins Willis for part of the dive into his brothers past.

Fatty becomes a celebrity of sorts in the restaurant. Lots of White patrons come to the restaurant to eat. He is rude to them and they love it. The restaurant owner sees what's happening. Fatty is ready to throw in the towel but the owner convinces him to stick it out.

Willis' mother goes to a party thrown by another real estate agent. She takes her estranged husband with her. He tells a funny story that she doesn't love but that grabs everyone's attention at the party.

Willis stays late, after Lana leaves. He discoers incriminating evidence that his brother was involved with the Painted Faces gang. Willis freaks out, imagines how bad things could get and decides to delete all that evidence.

The episode ends with Willis finding a secret passage into the owner's office in Golden Palace. 

Thoughts

Detectives Green and Turner are in this episode but not as much as they were in the previous episode.

This episode left me with lots of questions. It moved things forward but opened so many doors that I'm not sure where things stand right now. 

How much of what Willis found is real? What was Kung Fu Guy's connection to the Painted Faces? Is Lana really interested in Willis? Was she somehow involved with his brother at some point? Is it Kung Fu Guy that she really wants? How long will Fatty's local fame last? What will happen next with Lilly's budding real estate career?

I am really enjoying this series. I laughed a few times at this episode but it felt a little more serious than the previous one. I have a hard time seeing what comes next.
