Is this really who you want to be? A living weapon? An assassin for K'un-Lun? Is that what your father had in mind for you, when he was raising you to be Danny Rand? If you kill me, then all you'll ever be is K'un-Lun's Iron Fist, in a long line of living weapons, whose only purpose is to be used by others.
Danny, you're not the first friend of mine with special powers. They're all dark, haunted people. You know, when I first met you in Colleen's dojo, I couldn't help but notice that you had this... sweet innocence, but the more you continue to fight against something that happened fifteen years ago, a fight you can't possibly win, the darker you become.
Danny, some shit you just can't punch. You know you weren't given this gift so you could commit murder. And I know that you think that killing Harold is gonna make you feel better, that it's somehow gonna make everything okay, but it's not.
Please, just listen. I was raised on the Bushido code, okay? From the time I could pick up a sword, I was taught to never harm another for personal reasons, but Bakuto? I really wanted to kill Bakuto. But I'm glad that in the end, it was Davos and not me, otherwise I'd spend the rest of my life wondering if I killed a man for the wrong reasons. I think that if you kill Harold out of your own vengeance, it'll corrupt your qi. You'll never be the Iron Fist you're meant to be... Which is why I have to kill Harold for you.
I'm still trying to figure out who I'm gonna be as the Iron Fist. Lei Kung taught me that I was a powerful weapon, a flame meant to destroy our enemies. But I keep thinking that... maybe I can be something else. A light, for those trapped in the darkness.
