Ahead of the Curve

Summary A man sits peacefully as he watches two people riding a moped approach in a busy tourist bar in Bangkok. The cops depart while these men seek for someone. An armed person suddenly stops the man as he tries to flee by the back exit. As he lifts his hands in submission, he is viciously cut with blades. He tries to get help as he struggles back into the pub but collapses in the middle of the crowd.

When Sidney Chow visits his doctor, he is given the dismal prognosis of his cancer. Sidney expresses his impatience and discouragement about prior fruitless therapies. He mulls the possibility of going to Miami, where his nephew has ties, to get alternative medical treatment.

In the middle of Chinatown's soggy streets, Sidney is stopped by a car with Rainman seated in the passenger side. A tense exchange between Sidney and Rainman discloses their history, which is characterized by Sidney's doubt regarding Rainman's survival. Sidney, who is now operating legally as a bail bondsman, refuses Rainman's proposal for a partnership. Sidney's decision is questioned by Rainman, who highlights their vulnerability in a society where their illegal ties do not provide any safety. Due to their similar desperate situations, Sidney reluctantly consents to a covert rendezvous.

While the Tong chairman, Richie Rich, is in the infirmary, Rainman reveals his seven-year prison sentence and his desire to seize control of Chinatown with his sidekick, Stevie. Sidney rejects the notion, highlighting his desire for a life free of crime and the pointlessness of Rainman's mission. In response, Rainman expresses knowledge of Sidney's obligation to the 14K Triad, implying that Sidney would be in danger if left unprotected. Sidney responds that he has enough of security because of his membership in the Turtle Beach Gang and his reputation as a red pole in the Triad. In his proposal to run a candidate for chairman and his suggestion that Sidney serve as the face of their campaign, Rainman disputes the Triads' assertion that local gangs have any influence over them. The idea is rejected by Sidney as being impossible.
