Daredevil (2015) s03e02 Episode Script
Please
- FBI! - FBI! FBI! Get on the floor! Get out of the bed! FBI! Don't move! - Freeze! - Where are you going? Off the bed! Hands up! Show me your hands! Cuff him! Hey.
Give me your hands.
Take off these cuffs.
I have the right to an attorney.
You have no right here.
Do you understand? You have no right.
You got Mother Teresa.
You actually bagged that asshole.
Got his number one and number two also.
And two judges, district police cap A freakin' deputy mayor.
This is gonna be a messy day for City Hall.
Yeah.
The Albanians had to be buying those guys off with more than tail.
Burgos got their computers, so we're gonna find their money.
Once we start tracking it, who knows how far this goes? Thank you, Wilson Fisk.
He's a gift that's gonna keep on giving.
Snitch! No! No, don't! No! No! No! No! All tier two COs, we have a 10-49 in progress in the weight room.
All tier two COs, we have a fight in the weight room.
Guard! Guard! Guard! You, up against the wall, right now! Against the wall! What did you do, Matthew? Where did you go last night? Hey.
Don't pull that crap with me.
What happened? Go away.
I put in way too much work on you to quit now.
Up.
Move your ass.
So you get beat by a guy who wasn't even trying to hurt you, and your brilliant next move is to go out and pick another fight? Here.
Take these.
A word of advice, Mr.
Daredevil give yourself time to heal, or you're gonna get yourself killed.
You're probably right.
Is that what you wanted? I have a special gift, too.
I'm impervious to bad attitude.
So you can throw your self-pitying bullshit at me all day, Murdock, and I'll still be standing right here.
Pissed off, maybe, but right here.
You're gonna talk to me.
Why did you become a nun? I heard God's call.
So you feel like being a nun is what you're meant to be? Yes.
Very much.
What if you couldn't be one anymore? If it were taken from you? Your point being that if we can't fulfill our calling, we might be better off as worm food? Answer the question.
I'll tell you what I wouldn't do.
I wouldn't lose faith.
I'd find some other purpose.
If you can be anything else, it was never really your calling.
Just tell me, honestly.
If you could no longer be a nun, wouldn't you grieve? Of course I would.
Then please go away.
I understand what it's like to feel lost, Matthew.
It happened to me, too, once.
A long time ago, when I was still a novitiate I left the order for a while.
Why? I was considering a very different life.
It was wonderful and terrifying.
I struggled to know which life God wanted me to choose.
I prayed.
I looked for signs.
In the end, I just had to do my best to figure it out.
Well, there you go.
That is the difference between us.
I no longer care what God wants.
Oh, right.
Almost forgot.
You've seen his true face now.
Those are some fancy moves, Matthew.
Sister Dora turned me in, didn't she? This has to stop.
My Confirmation is in the spring.
I'm supposed to be learning the catechism, and Sister D can't even defend original sin.
She is not a theologian.
You already know more about it than she does, I'm sure.
So I can skip catechism? No.
Come on.
Sit.
How many fights have you been in this week? - How many guys complained? - None.
'Cause no one wants to admit they got their butt kicked by a blind kid.
So you can't prove that I did anything.
I don't want to, and I don't need to.
It's not about proving anything, Matthew.
Argumentation is a skill.
Being argumentative is a sign.
A sign like a prophecy? A sign like you're angry, Matthew.
That's a perfectly understandable reaction to your situation.
But it's not sustainable.
Or maybe it's a sign that Sister Dora should stick to teaching math.
You're good at arguing and deflecting and denying you're angry to other people.
But you're gonna have to deal with your anger, Matthew.
Find a way to harness it.
- Or it will destroy you.
- Well, if that's God's plan for me, then I guess that's how it's supposed to work out, isn't it? You know, maybe you don't understand original sin, after all.
God gave us free will, Matthew.
Adam and Eve were not puppets, and neither are we.
We make our own choices.
That's one reason we pray, for help making good ones.
You should try it sometime.
I do pray.
I pray all the time.
I've been praying for years.
God doesn't talk to me.
So that's what this is about? You feel God is neglecting you? Matthew, the burning-bush business doesn't happen very often, even in the Bible.
He's usually more subtle than that.
You want to hear God, Matthew, you have to listen more carefully.
Because he speaks in whispers.
Veggie sub.
- No meat.
- Thanks.
You don't want it.
Why not? When you see the way Ramsey and Arinori are kissing Hattley's ass, you're gonna lose your appetite.
They're in her office right now.
Doing what? Hattley gave you this raid.
But now that it worked, well, somebody's got to run Fisk full time.
Right? There he is.
Man of the hour.
You see the client list yet? Holy shit.
A moment, ma'am? Sure, Ray.
Congratulations.
Pristine execution.
Glad to hear it, boss.
I got a big ask.
You want Fisk detail.
I can't.
He's my kill.
I get to eat first.
There's a goddamn buffet in that conference room.
You can't fill up on that? That's today.
Now, what about tomorrow? Look, we play Fisk right, there's plenty for everyone for years.
He can give us every criminal organization on the East Coast.
Hey, Pryor.
Find out how Burgos is doing on the computers.
Dozens of agents had their shot at Fisk.
None of them got shit.
But I did.
We got some big collars out of this, Ray.
I'm gonna make sure D.
C.
knows about it.
Why do I feel like there's a "but" coming? Shut the door.
I put you on Fisk detail, your file is required reading.
You'll be naked.
There will be questions.
I've got answers.
I've got a boss, too.
And he's got a hard-on for agents in financial holes.
I'm sorry.
No.
No way.
Easy, Ray.
No.
You tell D.
C.
that none of this could have happened without the unexpected connection between me and Wilson Fisk.
Because that's the truth.
And then none of the other shit in my file will matter.
Come on, Tammy.
How am I supposed to get out from under? Okay, he's yours.
But you need to keep him talking, Ray.
I got this.
He better last years.
Because he goes dry, we're both burned.
- Hey.
- Hey.
"Rostam Kazemi.
" Mean anything to you? - Uh, yeah, he's a real estate developer.
- Mmm-hmm.
Actually, his daughter, Neda, is the mean one on the Heiresses of Manhattan.
Not that I watch that kind of crap or anything, but No, of course not.
Anyway, he and his daughter were attacked outside a restaurant last night.
He's in a coma at Riverbank Hospital, think it might be a kidnapping attempt.
No, you know what? I think you should give TJ that story.
He watches her show.
He'd love it.
Well, that's That's great.
That's nice.
I'm giving it to you.
No, I'm in the middle of something here.
- Excuse me? - It's not done yet, but I'd like to stick with it if that's okay.
What? Uh, yeah, here.
What am I looking at? Uh They're reports of respiratory illnesses among residents of a particular city block.
They've spiked.
They're up, like, 45% from last year.
- And which particular block would that be? - 44th and 11th.
- Midland Circle adjacent.
- Karen.
Come on.
I know we've done a lot of pieces on this, but there are still questions about that night we don't have answers for.
- You think the answers are in here? - I don't know.
Maybe.
Just give me a couple days.
It's not done yet.
What is it about Midland Circle, Karen? I mean, it's not just a story, is it? Look.
The work you've done on this, reporting, the writing it's excellent.
It's great.
It's some of the best you've ever done.
I'm proud of it.
I'm even maybe a little bit jealous.
But it's done.
So that's what we do now? We just drop stories because some socialite who photographs well is down at the hospital? That's a story, too.
And I thought that you might be able to empathize with a young woman who's been caught up in the middle of a family crisis.
It's one thing to work a story, Karen.
It's another thing to let a story work you.
- End of day tomorrow.
- Okay.
How the hell did you let this happen? Don't try to pin this shit on us.
He's your snitch.
You okay? They said it was superficial.
I find it quite profound.
Don't start.
We're not playing games here.
It's deadly serious for me.
What? Some guy with a shank? It's not something I fear a great deal.
But we're not dealing with one person here.
Word is out.
Everyone knows.
Guards and inmates, it seems they know I'm cooperating with you.
Which you are going to continue to do, Mr.
Fisk.
This was not a one-off.
You want us to help Vanessa clear herself of criminal charges, you need to continue to deliver actionable information.
Do you understand? I have suddenly become a target within these walls here.
Do you understand? I'm helping you to help Vanessa.
I can't do either of those things if I'm dead.
- Please, God - If you can help, please just Help me get this job.
I've got to keep paying them, or they'll come for Mindy.
Please just call her home.
End her suffering, I beg you.
- Her moans, I - Give Derek justice.
Please, God, you know he didn't do this thing.
That lawyer's no damn good, but you can touch the jury, God.
Help them to see the truth.
Glad to see you up here, Matthew.
I used to listen to people's prayers.
In here and out on the street.
You know, people asking for God's help or justice or vengeance sometimes.
See, it's always the same.
"Please, God.
" I thought that God let me hear the prayers so that I could answer.
So that's what I did.
That's what I was trying to do, was trying to help people.
But I am not what I was.
Can't do what I used to do.
Give it time.
Whatever your new reality is, you'll adjust.
When I heard all those prayers, all those suffering people, I thought it was God's voice.
But I was wrong.
All I ever heard was people in pain.
And all he ever gave any of us was silence.
So now you believe your calling to do what you do was a mistake? I was deluding myself.
Maybe that's a good thing to realize, Matthew.
Maybe it's time for you to stop.
Oh No, Father, uh My delusion was thinking God had anything to do with it.
I'm not as capable as I was, but I don't get to choose who I am.
I'm Daredevil.
Not even God can stop that now.
- Excuse me.
I'm looking for a dry cleaner.
- Not doing pickups right now.
But we're on 14th Street.
Address is on the side there.
Here's where it gets awkward.
I'm actually looking for a different place.
I got a whiff of their delivery van last night.
It didn't smell like this.
Not like chemicals.
It was more herbal.
Kinda grassy, maybe? Yeah, sure, like that.
I know the place.
How is he? You're a journalist, aren't you? - I've seen your picture in the Bulletin.
- Yeah, it's Karen Page.
Not to be a bitch, but I don't want this in the papers.
No, you're not a bitch.
I get it.
Then go.
I'm sorry.
I'm really, really sorry.
But you don't understand.
You think because you don't want this in the papers, it won't be? If I don't say anything They'll make up things that sound good to them.
And that's what will get written and what people will talk about behind your back.
For the next year.
The next five years.
For the rest of your life.
You talk like you know what this is.
Maybe I do.
You grow up with paparazzi on your ass, following you to school? - No.
- Yeah, I did.
You know what I learned? I learned that anything I say, anything at all, you people will turn it into whatever you want to, anyway.
I'm not like that.
Yeah.
Sure.
Believe it or not, I really do know what you're going through.
Your father almost got killed? Nope.
But people said that I killed my brother.
God, I'm sorry.
You know, when Kevin died everyone wanted to know what happened.
And I wasn't like you, not paparazzi or anything, but it's a small town.
Stuff kinda gets around on its own.
But since no one did know the story, they made one up.
It was all bullshit.
If you thought about it for ten seconds, it didn't even make sense, but why should that matter, right? The problem was once the story got out there, it stuck.
It grew, and it got darker and, um meaner.
And the things they said about my family and about me it, um sort of tore us apart.
Piece by piece and lie by lie.
And, um I didn't really know how to deal with it back then.
Now I guess it's too late.
You're right.
The truth can't be worse, can it? I don't know.
I don't know if the truth is any better, but Well, at least it's real.
Okay.
Just take your time.
We were at dinner.
We were trying to patch things up, you know? We were walking to the car, and these two men grabbed my father.
They tried to put him into this van to kidnap him.
We only got away because the other guy attacked him.
What other guy? You said there's another guy? Yeah.
He came out of nowhere.
He had this black mask over his face.
You're out of your mind.
Fisk's imprisonment would continue at a private location under the constant supervision of the FBI.
That's house incarceration, usually reserved for white-collar criminals awaiting trial.
He was shanked by another inmate hours ago.
Good.
He's a cop killer.
That wasn't proven in court.
- Whose fault was that? - We put on a good trial.
Five counts under RICO was a giant win.
Which you're about to give away.
You're the district attorney, Mr.
Tower.
Think of the long game here.
We can't prosecute everything Fisk is giving us at the federal level.
It's gonna trickle down.
You're trying to buy the NYPD with collars and me with convictions.
When Fisk's intel leads to the biggest crime drop in a decade - The guy is a piece of shit.
- You're right.
Wilson Fisk is a piece of shit.
After every time I'm in the room with the guy, I want a shower.
But let's talk about the Albanians for a minute, what they have done.
Four dead NYPD officers, 12 more riding desks with disabilities.
One hundred and seven civilian murders.
And even after five task forces over seven years, to the tune of $11 million, we got zero.
Those are some shitty numbers.
But here's another one.
With Fisk's intel, we beheaded the Albanian syndicate in one day.
One single day.
No loss of life, no injuries, no mayhem.
I mean, look at the take.
We got their documents and data, and we're gonna get their money.
Best of all, we bagged corrupt officials whose protection they were selling.
A lot of cases they've been interfering with may finally get somewhere.
Look, none of us like it.
It makes me want to throw up to admit it.
But New York is safer tonight because of Wilson Fisk.
Now I need a shower.
If we keep him talking, Fisk will give up others.
This deal will save lives.
Tell me you're not going for this.
Uncle Foggy! Okay, easy, easy.
Left pocket.
Left pocket.
You're gonna save them for after dinner, right? Don't tell your mother! Or my mother.
Hey! Foggy's here! - Hey! - Foggy! Hey there, Counselor.
"How are your briefs holding up?" What's up? Christ, that joke gets old.
Gets old? Listen, Franklin, there's something I need to talk to you about.
Hi.
- Try a little.
I put cinnamon in it.
- Mmm! Delicious.
So good.
Is he worse? Your father's arthritis gets a little worse every day.
He's having trouble holding onto things, especially when he's tired.
I see him with the saws and slicers.
Ma, I'm sorry.
Isn't there anything they can do for it? There's no cure for getting old, Franklin.
Your father needs to be on a beach, not slinging meat in Hell's Kitchen.
Forty years is enough already.
I know.
You got yourself a life.
A good life.
But maybe it's time you came home.
I'm right here when you need me.
Your brother loves this place, but Theo can't do it alone.
Come help.
Put those brains to work for your family, not every uptown shithead that comes into your office.
They're not all shitheads, Ma.
I'm not telling you what to do.
You're a grown man.
Just think about it.
That's all I'm sayin'.
Okay.
I will.
I promise.
Good.
I love you, kid.
Hey! I can smell the candy from here, Ruthie! Come here.
Where'd you get that? Where'd you get that? Where'd you get that? - Hey, Pop.
- Hey! - Do you want a glass? - Damn sure didn't come to chat.
The suits I understand, Foggy, but why you drink this expensive crap is beyond me.
You know how proud of you I am, Foggy? You're a big deal.
- Which is what you always wanted.
- Did I? Ever since you could talk, you went around telling people that you owned the store.
They'd play along with it, too.
- Remember? - Yeah.
I got it, Pops.
I got it.
Yeah.
Sláinte.
Your lawyer almost screwed up the whole deal.
Those terms guarantee my safety.
Beyoncé has fewer demands.
This way, convict.
You want service, you gotta get in line.
Oh Oh.
Come on, come on.
You got a ticket, you just picking up? - Me? - Yeah.
Oh, no, I just ran in 'cause your clothes smell so good.
See, I got this real sensitive nose.
I thought Yeah, we use a totally organic process, latest stuff.
Oh, cool.
You got a flyer? Not in Braille.
I I got seeing friends.
Here, have a coupon.
Thanks, I appreciate it.
- Glad I found you.
Really makes my day.
- All right.
God damn it.
We must have blown a fuse.
Hello! You! Yeah, I'd like to report an assault.
I didn't see what happened, but there are a lot of guns here.
Maybe some kind of robbery.
I don't think I ever said it, but thank you, Theo, for taking over the shop.
They wanted it to be you.
Yeah.
For a long time, I kinda wanted it to be you, too.
- You never said anything.
- What was there to say? You got a head for other things.
You were always getting the prizes and scholarships and shit.
Anyway, you can't make a sandwich to save your ass.
Theo, if we need to figure out Knock it off.
Go do what you're good at.
You're livin' the dream.
Am I? You're shittin' me.
I had this idea of how things were gonna go.
Matt and I talked a lot about what we'd do.
Open our own firm.
Help people.
Get rich.
I was the get rich part.
He was the help people part.
When he was around, I knew who I was.
Now Matt was a good guy.
Sláinte.
You can always come back here.
Yeah, great.
Thanks.
Hi.
Sorry, I Perfect timing.
Now everyone can stop worrying about my career choices and start worrying about me cheating on Marci.
Much better.
- Can I to talk to you? - What's wrong? I think Matt's alive.
So the guy in the mask, he wasn't in a, you know, devil suit? No, but he was wearing a black mask.
- So it could be anybody.
- It could also not be anybody.
Hell's Kitchen is ground zero for vigilantes these days.
Believe me, I want it to be Matt, too.
But he's - gone.
- No, no.
- We need to get past that.
- There is no proof of that.
- And until there is - You know how I know he's gone? Because if it was Matt, if he was really still alive, he would've reached out to us.
You know how I know that you don't really believe that? You keep saying "gone" instead of "dead.
" Now, don't you want to take a minute and just be absolutely sure that's not your best friend out there somewhere? I wish it was my best friend.
But it's not.
He's dead.
Karen, come on.
Stay.
What? You.
Your father he's in a coma.
He's alive.
Why did you help us? The men who did this are in police custody for another crime.
You head down to the 15th Precinct right now, you can identify them.
You caught them? You should go.
Thank God for you.
He didn't help you.
I did.
You will be under the strict supervision of my team.
You will not remove your ankle monitor.
You will not pass beyond the boundaries shown to you.
You will continue to have a strictly regulated schedule.
That means eating, sleeping, shitting, whenever I say.
Do you understand, Mr.
Fisk? I've spent much of my life alone.
And for many years, I pretended that this was the source of my strength.
I told myself I had free will.
And in that time, I achieved a great deal.
But I was not fulfilled.
I was longing for a connection that I could imagine but I could not achieve.
Searching and not finding.
Until Vanessa.
Until I discovered love.
I thought I would explode with the sense of power and freedom that she brought me.
That the world lay at my feet.
But then that passed when I discovered the great lie at the heart of love.
That what I took for true freedom was precisely the reverse.
You can build a prison of stone and steel, but you merely present the prisoner with a challenge.
Any truly determined man will find a way out.
But love Love is the perfect prison.
Inescapable.
So you see, Agent Nadeem I am always in prison, wherever I go.
And if these things help me protect Vanessa, then they are nothing to me.
I will do whatever I must.
Go left! Left! Nadeem! Nadeem! Prepare to fire! Grenade! Stay in the car! Don't shoot! Don't shoot! We surrender! Convict.
Don't move.
Put him in bay 3.
Excuse me, sir.
Sorry.
- Multiple GSWs.
- First one up Goddamn Albanians killed everyone except Fisk.
Somebody said he's en route to the safe house.
It's a damn shitshow.
The FBI just let Wilson Fisk out of prison.
Give me your hands.
Take off these cuffs.
I have the right to an attorney.
You have no right here.
Do you understand? You have no right.
You got Mother Teresa.
You actually bagged that asshole.
Got his number one and number two also.
And two judges, district police cap A freakin' deputy mayor.
This is gonna be a messy day for City Hall.
Yeah.
The Albanians had to be buying those guys off with more than tail.
Burgos got their computers, so we're gonna find their money.
Once we start tracking it, who knows how far this goes? Thank you, Wilson Fisk.
He's a gift that's gonna keep on giving.
Snitch! No! No, don't! No! No! No! No! All tier two COs, we have a 10-49 in progress in the weight room.
All tier two COs, we have a fight in the weight room.
Guard! Guard! Guard! You, up against the wall, right now! Against the wall! What did you do, Matthew? Where did you go last night? Hey.
Don't pull that crap with me.
What happened? Go away.
I put in way too much work on you to quit now.
Up.
Move your ass.
So you get beat by a guy who wasn't even trying to hurt you, and your brilliant next move is to go out and pick another fight? Here.
Take these.
A word of advice, Mr.
Daredevil give yourself time to heal, or you're gonna get yourself killed.
You're probably right.
Is that what you wanted? I have a special gift, too.
I'm impervious to bad attitude.
So you can throw your self-pitying bullshit at me all day, Murdock, and I'll still be standing right here.
Pissed off, maybe, but right here.
You're gonna talk to me.
Why did you become a nun? I heard God's call.
So you feel like being a nun is what you're meant to be? Yes.

I'd find some other purpose.

Then please go away.
I understand what it's like to feel lost, Matthew.

Sister Dora turned me in, didn't she? This has to stop.

It's not about proving anything, Matthew.
Argumentation is a skill.
Being argumentative is a sign.
A sign like a prophecy? A sign like you're angry, Matthew.
That's a perfectly understandable reaction to your situation.
But it's not sustainable.
Or maybe it's a sign that Sister Dora should stick to teaching math.
You're good at arguing and deflecting and denying you're angry to other people.
But you're gonna have to deal with your anger, Matthew.
Find a way to harness it.
- Or it will destroy you.
- Well, if that's God's plan for me, then I guess that's how it's supposed to work out, isn't it? You know, maybe you don't understand original sin, after all.

He can give us every criminal organization on the East Coast.
Hey, Pryor.
Find out how Burgos is doing on the computers.
Dozens of agents had their shot at Fisk.
None of them got shit.
But I did.
We got some big collars out of this, Ray.
I'm gonna make sure D.
C.
knows about it.
Why do I feel like there's a "but" coming? Shut the door.
I put you on Fisk detail, your file is required reading.
You'll be naked.
There will be questions.
I've got answers.
I've got a boss, too.
And he's got a hard-on for agents in financial holes.
I'm sorry.
No.
No way.
Easy, Ray.
No.
You tell D.
C.
that none of this could have happened without the unexpected connection between me and Wilson Fisk.
Because that's the truth.
And then none of the other shit in my file will matter.
Come on, Tammy.
How am I supposed to get out from under? Okay, he's yours.
But you need to keep him talking, Ray.
I got this.
He better last years.
Because he goes dry, we're both burned.
- Hey.
- Hey.
"Rostam Kazemi.
" Mean anything to you? - Uh, yeah, he's a real estate developer.
- Mmm-hmm.
Actually, his daughter, Neda, is the mean one on the Heiresses of Manhattan.
Not that I watch that kind of crap or anything, but No, of course not.
Anyway, he and his daughter were attacked outside a restaurant last night.
He's in a coma at Riverbank Hospital, think it might be a kidnapping attempt.
No, you know what? I think you should give TJ that story.
He watches her show.
He'd love it.
Well, that's That's great.
That's nice.
I'm giving it to you.
No, I'm in the middle of something here.
- Excuse me? - It's not done yet, but I'd like to stick with it if that's okay.
What? Uh, yeah, here.
What am I looking at? Uh They're reports of respiratory illnesses among residents of a particular city block.
They've spiked.
They're up, like, 45% from last year.
- And which particular block would that be? - 44th and 11th.
- Midland Circle adjacent.
- Karen.
Come on.
I know we've done a lot of pieces on this, but there are still questions about that night we don't have answers for.
- You think the answers are in here? - I don't know.
Maybe.
Just give me a couple days.
It's not done yet.
What is it about Midland Circle, Karen? I mean, it's not just a story, is it? Look.
The work you've done on this, reporting, the writing it's excellent.
It's great.
It's some of the best you've ever done.
I'm proud of it.
I'm even maybe a little bit jealous.
But it's done.
So that's what we do now? We just drop stories because some socialite who photographs well is down at the hospital? That's a story, too.
And I thought that you might be able to empathize with a young woman who's been caught up in the middle of a family crisis.
It's one thing to work a story, Karen.
It's another thing to let a story work you.
- End of day tomorrow.
- Okay.
How the hell did you let this happen? Don't try to pin this shit on us.
He's your snitch.
You okay? They said it was superficial.
I find it quite profound.
Don't start.
We're not playing games here.
It's deadly serious for me.
What? Some guy with a shank? It's not something I fear a great deal.
But we're not dealing with one person here.
Word is out.
Everyone knows.
Guards and inmates, it seems they know I'm cooperating with you.
Which you are going to continue to do, Mr.
Fisk.
This was not a one-off.
You want us to help Vanessa clear herself of criminal charges, you need to continue to deliver actionable information.
Do you understand? I have suddenly become a target within these walls here.
Do you understand? I'm helping you to help Vanessa.
I can't do either of those things if I'm dead.
- Please, God - If you can help, please just Help me get this job.
I've got to keep paying them, or they'll come for Mindy.
Please just call her home.
End her suffering, I beg you.
- Her moans, I - Give Derek justice.
Please, God, you know he didn't do this thing.
That lawyer's no damn good, but you can touch the jury, God.
Help them to see the truth.
Glad to see you up here, Matthew.
I used to listen to people's prayers.
In here and out on the street.
You know, people asking for God's help or justice or vengeance sometimes.
See, it's always the same.
"Please, God.
" I thought that God let me hear the prayers so that I could answer.
So that's what I did.
That's what I was trying to do, was trying to help people.
But I am not what I was.
Can't do what I used to do.
Give it time.
Whatever your new reality is, you'll adjust.
When I heard all those prayers, all those suffering people, I thought it was God's voice.
But I was wrong.
All I ever heard was people in pain.
And all he ever gave any of us was silence.
So now you believe your calling to do what you do was a mistake? I was deluding myself.
Maybe that's a good thing to realize, Matthew.
Maybe it's time for you to stop.
Oh No, Father, uh My delusion was thinking God had anything to do with it.
I'm not as capable as I was, but I don't get to choose who I am.
I'm Daredevil.
Not even God can stop that now.
- Excuse me.
I'm looking for a dry cleaner.
- Not doing pickups right now.
But we're on 14th Street.
Address is on the side there.
Here's where it gets awkward.
I'm actually looking for a different place.
I got a whiff of their delivery van last night.
It didn't smell like this.
Not like chemicals.
It was more herbal.
Kinda grassy, maybe? Yeah, sure, like that.
I know the place.
How is he? You're a journalist, aren't you? - I've seen your picture in the Bulletin.
- Yeah, it's Karen Page.
Not to be a bitch, but I don't want this in the papers.
No, you're not a bitch.
I get it.
Then go.
I'm sorry.
I'm really, really sorry.
But you don't understand.
You think because you don't want this in the papers, it won't be? If I don't say anything They'll make up things that sound good to them.
And that's what will get written and what people will talk about behind your back.
For the next year.
The next five years.
For the rest of your life.
You talk like you know what this is.
Maybe I do.
You grow up with paparazzi on your ass, following you to school? - No.
- Yeah, I did.
You know what I learned? I learned that anything I say, anything at all, you people will turn it into whatever you want to, anyway.
I'm not like that.
Yeah.
Sure.
Believe it or not, I really do know what you're going through.
Your father almost got killed? Nope.
But people said that I killed my brother.
God, I'm sorry.
You know, when Kevin died everyone wanted to know what happened.
And I wasn't like you, not paparazzi or anything, but it's a small town.
Stuff kinda gets around on its own.
But since no one did know the story, they made one up.
It was all bullshit.
If you thought about it for ten seconds, it didn't even make sense, but why should that matter, right? The problem was once the story got out there, it stuck.
It grew, and it got darker and, um meaner.
And the things they said about my family and about me it, um sort of tore us apart.
Piece by piece and lie by lie.
And, um I didn't really know how to deal with it back then.
Now I guess it's too late.
You're right.
The truth can't be worse, can it? I don't know.
I don't know if the truth is any better, but Well, at least it's real.
Okay.
Just take your time.
We were at dinner.
We were trying to patch things up, you know? We were walking to the car, and these two men grabbed my father.
They tried to put him into this van to kidnap him.
We only got away because the other guy attacked him.
What other guy? You said there's another guy? Yeah.
He came out of nowhere.
He had this black mask over his face.
You're out of your mind.
Fisk's imprisonment would continue at a private location under the constant supervision of the FBI.
That's house incarceration, usually reserved for white-collar criminals awaiting trial.
He was shanked by another inmate hours ago.
Good.
He's a cop killer.
That wasn't proven in court.
- Whose fault was that? - We put on a good trial.
Five counts under RICO was a giant win.
Which you're about to give away.
You're the district attorney, Mr.
Tower.
Think of the long game here.
We can't prosecute everything Fisk is giving us at the federal level.
It's gonna trickle down.
You're trying to buy the NYPD with collars and me with convictions.
When Fisk's intel leads to the biggest crime drop in a decade - The guy is a piece of shit.
- You're right.
Wilson Fisk is a piece of shit.
After every time I'm in the room with the guy, I want a shower.
But let's talk about the Albanians for a minute, what they have done.
Four dead NYPD officers, 12 more riding desks with disabilities.
One hundred and seven civilian murders.
And even after five task forces over seven years, to the tune of $11 million, we got zero.
Those are some shitty numbers.
But here's another one.
With Fisk's intel, we beheaded the Albanian syndicate in one day.
One single day.
No loss of life, no injuries, no mayhem.
I mean, look at the take.
We got their documents and data, and we're gonna get their money.
Best of all, we bagged corrupt officials whose protection they were selling.
A lot of cases they've been interfering with may finally get somewhere.
Look, none of us like it.
It makes me want to throw up to admit it.
But New York is safer tonight because of Wilson Fisk.
Now I need a shower.
If we keep him talking, Fisk will give up others.
This deal will save lives.
Tell me you're not going for this.
Uncle Foggy! Okay, easy, easy.
Left pocket.
Left pocket.
You're gonna save them for after dinner, right? Don't tell your mother! Or my mother.
Hey! Foggy's here! - Hey! - Foggy! Hey there, Counselor.
"How are your briefs holding up?" What's up? Christ, that joke gets old.
Gets old? Listen, Franklin, there's something I need to talk to you about.
Hi.
- Try a little.
I put cinnamon in it.
- Mmm! Delicious.
So good.
Is he worse? Your father's arthritis gets a little worse every day.
He's having trouble holding onto things, especially when he's tired.
I see him with the saws and slicers.
Ma, I'm sorry.
Isn't there anything they can do for it? There's no cure for getting old, Franklin.
Your father needs to be on a beach, not slinging meat in Hell's Kitchen.
Forty years is enough already.
I know.
You got yourself a life.
A good life.
But maybe it's time you came home.
I'm right here when you need me.
Your brother loves this place, but Theo can't do it alone.
Come help.
Put those brains to work for your family, not every uptown shithead that comes into your office.
They're not all shitheads, Ma.
I'm not telling you what to do.
You're a grown man.
Just think about it.
That's all I'm sayin'.
Okay.
I will.
I promise.
Good.
I love you, kid.
Hey! I can smell the candy from here, Ruthie! Come here.
Where'd you get that? Where'd you get that? Where'd you get that? - Hey, Pop.
- Hey! - Do you want a glass? - Damn sure didn't come to chat.
The suits I understand, Foggy, but why you drink this expensive crap is beyond me.
You know how proud of you I am, Foggy? You're a big deal.
- Which is what you always wanted.
- Did I? Ever since you could talk, you went around telling people that you owned the store.
They'd play along with it, too.
- Remember? - Yeah.
I got it, Pops.
I got it.
Yeah.
Sláinte.
Your lawyer almost screwed up the whole deal.
Those terms guarantee my safety.
Beyoncé has fewer demands.
This way, convict.
You want service, you gotta get in line.
Oh Oh.
Come on, come on.
You got a ticket, you just picking up? - Me? - Yeah.
Oh, no, I just ran in 'cause your clothes smell so good.
See, I got this real sensitive nose.
I thought Yeah, we use a totally organic process, latest stuff.
Oh, cool.
You got a flyer? Not in Braille.
I I got seeing friends.
Here, have a coupon.
Thanks, I appreciate it.
- Glad I found you.
Really makes my day.
- All right.
God damn it.
We must have blown a fuse.
Hello! You! Yeah, I'd like to report an assault.
I didn't see what happened, but there are a lot of guns here.
Maybe some kind of robbery.
I don't think I ever said it, but thank you, Theo, for taking over the shop.
They wanted it to be you.
Yeah.
For a long time, I kinda wanted it to be you, too.
- You never said anything.
- What was there to say? You got a head for other things.
You were always getting the prizes and scholarships and shit.
Anyway, you can't make a sandwich to save your ass.
Theo, if we need to figure out Knock it off.
Go do what you're good at.
You're livin' the dream.
Am I? You're shittin' me.
I had this idea of how things were gonna go.
Matt and I talked a lot about what we'd do.
Open our own firm.
Help people.
Get rich.
I was the get rich part.
He was the help people part.
When he was around, I knew who I was.
Now Matt was a good guy.
Sláinte.
You can always come back here.
Yeah, great.
Thanks.
Hi.
Sorry, I Perfect timing.
Now everyone can stop worrying about my career choices and start worrying about me cheating on Marci.
Much better.
- Can I to talk to you? - What's wrong? I think Matt's alive.
So the guy in the mask, he wasn't in a, you know, devil suit? No, but he was wearing a black mask.
- So it could be anybody.
- It could also not be anybody.
Hell's Kitchen is ground zero for vigilantes these days.
Believe me, I want it to be Matt, too.
But he's - gone.
- No, no.
- We need to get past that.
- There is no proof of that.
- And until there is - You know how I know he's gone? Because if it was Matt, if he was really still alive, he would've reached out to us.
You know how I know that you don't really believe that? You keep saying "gone" instead of "dead.
" Now, don't you want to take a minute and just be absolutely sure that's not your best friend out there somewhere? I wish it was my best friend.
But it's not.
He's dead.
Karen, come on.
Stay.
What? You.
Your father he's in a coma.
He's alive.
Why did you help us? The men who did this are in police custody for another crime.
You head down to the 15th Precinct right now, you can identify them.
You caught them? You should go.
Thank God for you.
He didn't help you.
I did.
You will be under the strict supervision of my team.
You will not remove your ankle monitor.
You will not pass beyond the boundaries shown to you.
You will continue to have a strictly regulated schedule.
That means eating, sleeping, shitting, whenever I say.
Do you understand, Mr.
Fisk? I've spent much of my life alone.
And for many years, I pretended that this was the source of my strength.
I told myself I had free will.
And in that time, I achieved a great deal.
But I was not fulfilled.
I was longing for a connection that I could imagine but I could not achieve.
Searching and not finding.
Until Vanessa.
Until I discovered love.
I thought I would explode with the sense of power and freedom that she brought me.
That the world lay at my feet.
But then that passed when I discovered the great lie at the heart of love.
That what I took for true freedom was precisely the reverse.
You can build a prison of stone and steel, but you merely present the prisoner with a challenge.
Any truly determined man will find a way out.
But love Love is the perfect prison.
Inescapable.
So you see, Agent Nadeem I am always in prison, wherever I go.
And if these things help me protect Vanessa, then they are nothing to me.
I will do whatever I must.
Go left! Left! Nadeem! Nadeem! Prepare to fire! Grenade! Stay in the car! Don't shoot! Don't shoot! We surrender! Convict.
Don't move.
Put him in bay 3.
Excuse me, sir.
Sorry.
- Multiple GSWs.
- First one up Goddamn Albanians killed everyone except Fisk.
Somebody said he's en route to the safe house.
It's a damn shitshow.
The FBI just let Wilson Fisk out of prison.
