Kidnapping of Radovan Bernivig

The Kidnapping of Radovan Bernivig was an infiltration of Metro-General Hospital by the Hand in order to reclaim Radovan Bernivig after he was rescued by Danny Rand.
==Background==
Investigating the recent acquisition of Red Hook Pier by Rand Enterprises, Danny Rand got into contact with Yangsi Gonshi and received a package of the Steel Serpent heroin. Rand was convinced tha the Hand using the pier for the heroin trafficking and tracked down their shipment via company records. Together with Colleen Wing, Rand managed to sneak onto the pier during the shipment to get the evidence but found the trucks loaded with ordinary items. Rand got into the truck and found a secret compartment where the Hand was keeping Radovan Bernivig, who created the Steel Serpent formula and was pivotal for their operations.
Rand was able to fight off King and get Bernivig out of captivity, but not before King stabbed him in the gut and critically injured. Rand and Wing brought Bernivig to Chikara Dojo where Claire Temple was able to treat his wound and temporarily stabilize him, but he still needed proper medical aid. Bernivig told them that the Hand forced him to obey by holding his daughter hostage and if he is admitted to a hospital, he would be either arrested or taken by the Hand. While Rand accepted Madame Gao's challenge to participate in Da Jue Zhan to save the girl, Bernivig's condition worsened, so Wing and Temple were forced to take him to the hospital.
==Kidnapping==
Claire Temple and Colleen Wing brought Radovan Bernivig to Metro-General Hospital, where Temple asked Shirley Benson to take Bernivig in anonymously, so the authorities would not be alerted. However, Temple later checked the records and found out that Bernivig did not reach the operating room, meaning that the Hand managed to get to him. She and Wing saw Bernivig being taken out on security cameras and rushed after him, but they were attacked by a Hand operative, disguised as a nurse. Wing was able to incapacitate him and Temple reached the parking lot, where she saw an ambulance rolling out. She knocked the driver out by hitting him with a fire extinguisher but the vehicle turned out to be empty, so the two realized that it was a decoy and the Hand got away with Bernivig.
==Aftermath==
Reclaimed by the Hand, Radovan Bernivig was taken to a Steel Serpent manufacturing plant where Madame Gao forced him to give out the heroin formula in exchange for the life of daughter, as he was unaware that she had been rescued already. Danny Rand was able to acquire a tablet with the records of Gao's heroin operations within Rand Enterprises, and with Harold Meachum's help, he was able to find the facility where Bernivig could be taken. Rand and Colleen Wing then approached Yangsi Gonshi and offered them a chance to fight back against the Hand's influence, asking for assistance in their attack on the Steel Serpent plant.
With Hai-Qing Yang and his men on their side, Rand and Wing raided the plant, taking out numerous Hand operatives and reaching the backroom where they found a barely alive Bernivig strapped to a chair. As he was on the brink of death, Rand assured Bernivig that his daughter is save and he confessed that Gao now has the Steel Serpent formula. Before his death, he was able to tell Rand that Gao has taken off to Anzhou, China, and Rand recognized the place as the destination of Wendell Rand's trip that ended in a air crush and the deaths of Rand's parents. Rand regrouped with Wing and Claire Temple, announcing his plan to investigate the facility in Anzhou that the Hand is operating, while Wing and Temple joined him.
