History

Purchased by Rand Enterprises

"Why did your company steal our pier away from us?"
"What?"
"We had a deal with the previous tenant. Joy Meachum broke that deal. We wanted words with her."

―Hai-Qing Yang and Danny Rand^[src]

Hai-Qing Yang, leader of Yangsi Gonshi, had a deal with Raj Patel to use Red Hook Pier in their advantage.^[1] In order to establish Hand heroin buisness, Madame Gao ordered Harold Meachum to purchase the pier by any costs. Ward Meachum asked his sister Joy to help him with purchase. They asked Patel about a deal but he was not interested in selling pier and refused the offer despite the fact that offer was a million over the appraised value.^[2]

Patel was brought out to a dinner with Joy and Ward. Upon their trip, they stopped at Metro-General Hospital, where they showed him dying Kevin Kennedy who was an organ donor. Patel was informed that upon the boy's death, his liver will be given to his nephew. Finally, Patel agreed to sold the pier to Rand Enterprises.

However, Yang learned about a deal and decided to interrupt it. He sent his men to kidnap Joy but they was defeated by Danny Rand. At Golden Sands, he met with Yang and asked about his intentions. Yang returned the question by asking why Rand Enterprises had also stolen the pier away from them. Yang explained that his gang had a deal with Patel and that Meachum's action broke the deal and they just wanted to have a word with her. Rand said that he came to warn them not to get near her again while Yang questioned why Rand want to keep the pier, as Rand answered by saying "The Hand". Yang hurriedly urged Rand to send their deepest apologies to Joy.^[1]

Ambush

Exploring Rand Enterprises' files, Rand learned that Hand transported Steel Serpent through Red Hook Pier and distributed it in the city. Rand asked for Colleen Wing's assistance to infiltrate the pier and find evidence there. They eventually reached the pier at night and infiltrated it. While they looked around the area, Wing noticed that all of the guards were armed with machine guns, as Rand noted that they did not know how to fight.

Rand and Wing evaded the guards and moved to the main container. Reaching the top, they watched closely as the guards had opened the Rand Enterprises shipments, with Rand filming everything on his phone for evidence. However, none of the containers appeared to be carrying anything illegal, but Rand refused to accept this, pointing to the guards armed with guns and instead rashly headed down to enter one. Inside the container, Rand began searching for anything that could link back to the Hand, only for the guards to close up the container, trapping him inside.

As the truck pulled away through the pier, Wing followed it. Inside the truck, Rand found a small decorated make-shift living room. Inside, he found Radovan Bernivig and questioned who he was, to which Bernivig revealed himself to be a chemist of the heroin. Before they could talk further, King attacked Rand. During their fight, King had then inadvertently stabbed Bernivig through the chest, mortally wounding him. Having finally defeated King, Rand then grabbed Bernivig who was now bleeding heavily from his wound and prepared to make his escape with him. Finding that the door to the container was still locked, Rand summoned his Iron Fist to punch open the backside of the container. He found Wing had stolen a vehicle and followed him. Rand and Bernivig jumped onto the car. Once they then got Bernivig inside, they immediately called for Claire Temple's assistance.^[3]

Homeland Security Operation

"The exchange is set for tomorrow at a warehouse on the docks. Agent Sampson is our buyer. Snipers will post here, here and here. Our seller is coming in from Newark by road."

―Sam Stein^[src]

Homeland Security set up a sting operation at the Red Hook Pier to arrest members of the Greek Mob who shipped a batch of illegal weapons to New Jersey. Homeland contacted with NYPD, ATF, U.S. Customs and Border Protection to keep them away from the pier so that they do not interfere. Homeland Security arrived at the pier and began prepare their ambush. Two tactical teams and snipers was located on positions. Dinah Madani supervised operation from mobile hub disguised as a taco van and Sam Stein controlled agents outside.

Punisher and Micro arrived to the pier to interrupt operation and stole Greek's weapons. When truck reached Castle's position, Lieberman muffled Homeland's audio and hacked their video feeds created looped video. All communications was corrupted and Castle leaped on truck. He threw driver away and sat on driver's seat. Agents continued followed him before truck stopped at pier. They came to the truck but Castle threatened them using a flamethrower and forced them to jump into the water so they did not pursue him.

Lieberman arrived to truck and sat down behind his wheel and Castle take Mustang. However, Madani took a car to find the truck and found Castle and Lieberman before they could escape. Castle managed Micro to head to the highway while Castle cut her. He drove to another side to distract Madani. Chase continued until they were opposite each other. They started to go ahead and the collision was inevitable but Lieberman crashed into Madani at full speed and knocked her off the road. Castle ordered him to drove to hideout and saved unconscious Madani. However, she woke up and recognize her savior. He said her to stay away from him and left her before her car exploded.^[4]
