When the street gang the Golden Tigers tries to rob some people on the subway, they are first engaged by a lone New York City police officer. The Tigers quickly disarm the officer of his service-issue revolver with a throwing star and their leader is about to blow the officer's brains out with the officer's own service revolver when Iron Fist arrives on the scene. Iron Fist stops the impending homicide of the police officer and fights the entire Golden Tigers gang, subduing all of them handily, except for a minor miscue when Iron's Fist's foot slips on a stray bit of newspaper as he is engaging the last of the Golden Tigers and he endures a minor knife wound to his back; Iron Fist quickly rebounds to take out the last Golden Tigers member. However, Iron Fist is distracted by an inbound subway train and attacked by a not-quite-unconscious Golden Tigers member, and the gang members manage to slip away with the crowd as the train disembarks. While police Lt. Rafael Scarfe and Iron Fist work to get all the information they can about the gang, District Attorney Bill Hao decides to do his own independent investigation, as he knows his brother Robert is involved with the gang.
