In the pivotal seventh episode of "The Brothers Sun," the calm waters were shattered by Bruce's revelation to Grace of the triad leaders' secret meeting place. Grace seized the opportunity and stealthily infiltrated the gathering. Simultaneously, the police stormed the scene, intending to apprehend all in attendance.
The situation spiraled out of control, leading to the tragic demise of numerous triad leaders, devoted lieutenants, and innocents. Those spared the wrath of the Boxers were handcuffed and hauled off to prison. As the episode reached its climax, Big Sun turned to his trusted son, Charles, issuing a command to eliminate Bruce as a punishment for Mama Sun.
Obeying his father's directive, Charles tracked down Bruce and leveled his gun at his brother's head. Yet, Charles' finger faltered, unable to bear the thought of killing his own flesh and blood. His aim faltered, leaving him in a precarious position, knowing that without fulfilling the order, he could never return to Big Sun's side.
Bruce, sensing an opportunity, urged Charles to break free from his father's shadow and end Big Sun's reign of terror. He revealed that Big Sun had forced Charles to take countless lives, heedless of the toll it took on his soul. Mama Sun chimed in, revealing that the assassination attempt on Big Sun years ago was a mere test to gauge Charles' mettle as a triad leader.
Charles, now enlightened, confronted his father, declaring his intention to sever ties with Big Sun and renounce his role as a killer for hire.
When Charles encountered his father, he was stunned to hear of his grandiose scheme to ascend to the pinnacle of the triad hierarchy as the Dragon Head, a plan that would be painted with the blood of countless innocents. To Charles' dismay, he rejected his father's orders and begged for the liberty to leave the triad's shadowy world. However, Big Sun refused, unleashing a wave of assassins to eliminate Bruce and his mother. In a flurry of action, Charles managed to slay two of them, but Xing narrowly escaped.
In hot pursuit, Charles was abruptly apprehended by Alexis, who offered him a deal. She promised to let him go free if he revealed Big Sun's hideout. Alexis's motivations were clear; with Big Sun in custody, Jack Ma would testify against him, strengthening her case. Meanwhile, Xing attempted to eliminate Mama Sun, but she met a grisly fate.
Unrelenting, Alexis turned to Bruce, pleading with him to convince Charles to divulge Big Sun's location. If successful, she vowed to clear Charles of all charges, granting him the freedom he so desired. Yet, Bruce harbored his own intentions; he wanted to end Big Sun's reign, allowing his mother and brother to live peacefully.
Sneaking into the safehouse, Bruce aimed his gun at Big Sun, but his resolve faltered. Tragically, his finger slipped, firing a bullet that pierced Big Sun's stomach. To save his life, Big Sun fled to the hospital, only to be apprehended shortly after.
As the chaos subsided, Mama Sun revealed her newfound ambition: to travel to Taiwan and assume the mantle of Dragon Head, bringing structure and legitimacy to the triad. Though Bruce disagreed, he acquiesced, respecting his mother's wishes. But what of her vengeance against Big Sun?
In a calculated move, Mama Sun crept into Big Sun's hospital room, manipulating his medical records and administering an insulin injection that would gradually render him weak, paralyzed, and mute. Charles, offering to accompany her to Taiwan, was gently dissuaded by Mama Sun, who urged him to pursue his dreams, marry, and start a family. Yet, in the final frames, we catch a glimpse of him accompanying his mother on her journey.
The finale unfolded with a shocking mid-credits scene. Two men, one a Chinese national, discussed Big Sun's impending trial and Jack Ma's crucial testimony. The Chinese man, revealed as one of Big Sun's trusted lieutenants, disclosed his plan to eliminate Jack Ma, ensuring Alexis's case against Big Sun would crumble. This revelation casts a ominous shadow over the upcoming season, suggesting that Big Sun might escape justice and resume his quest for vengeance against Mama Sun, Charles, and Bruce.
