Episode 1 • Mar 27, 2021
Ahead of the Curve
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.

Tale of the Luduan
At a party in Tara Holloway's mansion, Phil Hop reveals his intent to mix drugs with dog medicine and sell them as pure ecstasy, obtained from King. The others first respond hesistantly to Phil's plans, but he persists. After intoxicating themselves, the group lies on the floor drugged out when chaos erupts in the background. Violence breaks out at the party, with Phil crawling for safety.

Preceeding the events, King, Zoey, and Marty surveil the mansion, planning to rob the guests. King's true intentions are concealed from Phil, who believes they are there to sell drugs. However, it was King's plan all along to rob the guests unbeknownst to Phil. After executing the robbery, the group departs. The next day, in the evening, King goes to Super Wok, where he finds a suspicious Marty. King wants to talk to Phil, but Phil is not present. Marty expresses his wish to talk to King in secret and invites him into the kitchen.

Here, King faces Monk, his superior, who accuses him of orchestrating the robbery due to Marty's sudden wealth. A heated altercation ensues, with King asserting that Monk lacks ambition and represents a stagnant criminal enterprise. Monk, emphasizing the need for stability, warns King of the dire consequences of attracting unwanted attention, ultimately banishing him.

Returning to his apartment, King shares his frustrations with Zoey, who urges him to stick to their plan of making money and leaving Chinatown. King, however, believes that the status quo will thwart their aspirations.

Kowloon Tiger
A girl examines something in her hands, and Phil's voiceover implies that he provided her with drugs. The scene appears surreal as the girl seemingly hovers over a balcony's edge. Then, we cut to Phil Hop, frantically clutching his head in panic. King accuses Phil of being responsible for the girl's apparent peril, but Phil remains unresponsive. Frustrated, King's friend Ted intervenes, attempting to defuse the situation. Zoey tries to calm everyone down, but King's anger escalates. Ted steps in to defend Phil.

In another scene, Tea Worm is inside a bungalow, gazing out over a cliff while engaged in a phone conversation. A man speaking in Cantonese discusses his former associates who have turned against him due to his challenges to their authority. He emphasizes his intention to exact revenge, not by taking their lives, but by retaliating against their families.

Rainman is depicted seated in a chair, surrounded by admiring women who touch him like he's Adonis. Later, Rainman converses with Monk outside a bar, expressing his anger over the apparent takeover in his absence. Monk asserts his innocence, claiming he no longer holds any authority, and that control of Chinatown has shifted to corporate interests.

In a different setting, King engages in a ritual before an altar, with a red light illuminating his eyes. Meanwhile, Phil and Ted gossip about the new cook at Super Wok, who turns out to be Rainman. Despite Phil's objections, Ted invites Rainman to join them in a card game upstairs.

The group gathers for the card game, but Rainman feels out of place. After the game, Phil pursues Rainman, offering to work for him, but Rainman rebuffs his advances.

In his apartment, King contemplates his plans while Zoey embraces him, attempting to dissuade him from pursuing whatever he has in mind.

Rainman visits a karaoke bar and receives a phone call from Tea Worm, revealing his ties to Macau Ronnie, Rainman's former employer. Tea Worm discloses the existence of the "Black Twilight," a formidable group of mainland Chinese criminals operating covertly in the United States. Even the Wo On Lok Triad fears them, as they wield immense power, though their identities remain shrouded in mystery. Tea Worm conveys the significance of the tong chairman's scepter, signifying control over Chinatown, and offers Rainman a proposition to secure their protection by finding a suitable candidate for chairman.

Phil encounters Dana's distraught father in Super Wok, who vows to avenge his daughter's death. Phil maintains his composure but suffers a panic attack after the man's departure.

High above Chinatown, King confronts Monk, leading to a fierce battle where King is initially overpowered but eventually triumphs, unleashing an unexpected power within himself. Red neon lights flare in his eyes as he stands over Monk's lifeless body.
