Daredevil: Born Again

Hey, I like to think that I... We have evolved.

- Foggy! - Why? Why?

What're you gonna do about Daredevil?

I'm not him anymore.

I made a promise to myself that I'd let the system handle it.

Take care of yourself, Matt.

It's been some time, hasn't it?

I was wondering if we could have a little chat?

So if you step out of line, I will be there.

Should you go back to any of your old activities,

there will be consequences.

Wilson Fisk has been elected

the 112th mayor of New York City.

He won.

Sir, let me touch up your eye.

Thank you, New York.

Vanessa and I, we offer our deepest regards.

It's humbling to be sitting here, speaking to you as mayor this evening.

Beginning of the new year,

and most importantly, a new era for the greatest city in the world.

This city is in shambles. Crime, poverty, a feeling of uneasiness,

as if any moment, things could explode.

But New Yorkers are tough. We know how to take care of ourselves.

We don't need a gun-toting vigilante who wears a skull on his chest

or a man who dresses in a spider outfit.

Or a guy who wears devil horns to save us. No.

We'll be our best once again.

Fisk, the mayor?

- I-- I just can't. - I made you one promise.

What are you gonna do, move to Boston? You hate the Celtics.

- I intend to keep it. - You hearing this guy?

Hear him? I fucking love him.

And that is that the rule of law

- will return to New York City. -

That is what I will deliver to the city of New York.

The city that bore me, elected me. The city that I love.

Good night and happy new year.

Es que ya yo te dije donde yo estaba.

Tenía unas cuantas cositas que hacer y se me fue el tiempo.

- No, no. - You don't got nothing on you.

I got-- Nothing, nothing.

What are you doing, Nicky?

- You trying to dodge us? - Me tengo que ir.

I wasn't dodging you, man. I've just been, you know, busy.

- I think you've been dodging us. - No, no, no, man.

Just doing my own thing.

- Hey. - It seems like you are.

Hey, hey.

- Hey! Take it easy! - I don't have anything.

Hey, buddy, this doesn't concern you.

Hey! You're beatin' on a guy who can't defend himself.

- It concerns me. - Okay, okay.

I said stay out of it.

Let it go.

Hey!

No.

No!

NYPD. Do not move.

Any thoughts on the disappearance of Daredevil?

Daredevil? Haven't heard that name in a long time, man.

And I don't miss him. He's a clown.

You know, who needs him? He's more trouble than he's worth. Good riddance.

Are the strong obligated to protect the weak?

Yeah, they are, but they're kind of whiny about it.

And then they start preying on the weak.

Fire Chief Carter is your 10 a.m. We can do that here or at the firehouse.

Firehouse. Carter, he's known to be a doubter,

so best I come to him.

My thoughts exactly. After that, we have six more stops.

I've put in another call to Commissioner Gallo. It's our third.

How old do you think this desk is?

Excuse me?

How long do you think this desk has been here? It's old.

Vanessa would know by sight.

You wonder. Did Fiorello La Guardia sit here?

He was a hero of my father's, you know?

No, no, I didn't.

My father, he didn't respect many men.

Well, none actually.

Except for La Guardia.

His tenacity. Him standing up to Tammany Hall.

Fiorello La Guardia, he built this city.

Sir...

Yeah, I-- Sorry. Yes.

Uh...

I'm really looking forward to meeting District Attorney Hochberg.

These meet and greets, can't we push them?

These first few days are critical. Optics are gonna matter.

Establishing connections is how we set the tone with the stakeholders

who can make or break your agenda.

And let's be honest, a lot of these people absolutely hate you.

I'm used to that.

And there's something else.

And I'm sorry if this is heading into personal territory. Your wife...

What about Vanessa?

Uh, okay. Well, the inaugural speech tracked better than expected,

especially with the younger constituents.

However, Vanessa's resistance to being part of the narrative

is hurting you with more traditional voters.

I see.

Uh, the timing on this is not ideal,

but my wife and I, we have work to do.

Could you grant us a little leeway?

Absolutely, sir.

Well, the good news is she's in holding. She's sobering up

and back amongst the living. I also wouldn't hold my breath.

Her blood alcohol was 0.15 and she has two priors, so...

Do you have any idea of how long this will take?

Because I was hoping to get to work

and I can't miss another shift.

Now here's what's gonna happen, cop killer.

You are gonna sign a confession.

You know what? I--

I told a colleague I'd check on a client of theirs.

Let me do that. Um, I'll call you later if I have an update, okay?

- Okay. - Thank you.

Thank you.

Hector Ayala?

Those guys tune you up?

- Does it matter? - Yeah.

It does. Matters to me.

I'm a lawyer. My name is Matthew.

You're the public defender?

No. I'm a defense attorney. I have my own practice.

I didn't call you. How'd you get in here?

You know, they're saying you killed a cop?

All I was trying to do was help a guy out.

Well, that's not their story.

They're saying you approached two officers on the platform--

No, man. Esos hijos de puta on the platform never said they were cops.

They never said nothing.

Look, all I was trying to do was break up a beating, okay?

So what happened to the officer who--

One of them tripped trying to take me out.

Look, I didn't push him, I swear.

I wasn't trying to kill anybody. That's not me.

And I sure as shit didn't know

there was a train coming.

I mean, one second he's there,

and then... he's gone.

Is there anything you're not telling me?

No, man. Nothing.

You're still pretty wired, I'm sure. Everything is a little fuzzy.

We need to go over it a few more times

before the arraignment.

- But for now, that's all we need to do. - I can't afford you.

Don't worry about that. I'd still like to represent you.

You're in good hands, Hector.

Wait, hold up.

You're blind?

Shut up!

Once we arrive at the senior center, you'll say a few words,

and then they want to present you with the key to the borough.

I'm already the mayor. Why do I need a key to Brooklyn?

Like it or not, the outer boroughs are your base.

Especially Staten Island.

You got Staten, don't need Manhattan.

Sorry.

This city is broken. I said I'd fix it.

Sir, the first 100 days are about settling in,

getting a feel for the office.

Try anything big now, you're painting a target on your back.

Good. Targets draw attention to problems.

You hired me because I know

how politics work in New York City...

...and right now, it's all about maintaining the status quo.

So your advice to the newly inaugurated mayor of New York

is that he do nothing.

What's going on here?

It's a big hole.

We'll be around it in, like, a minute.

Hey. Hey, what're you doing?

Oh... Sir, I'd advise against whatever you--

Shit. Why didn't you stop him?

That's your job, not mine.

Foreman. Who's the foreman?

Yeah. What's up? Hey, you're the mayor.

- Yes. - How you doing?

I want you to stop what you're doing and fill that hole.

You have the equipment and the manpower.

Hey, sorry, sir. It's the red tape.

We're waitin' on the permit approval.

Consider it approved.

You got it. Fellas, hole!

Let's go. Now! Move!

- Coming. - Mikey,

hey, we're back in business.

- Let's go. - Yes, sir.

There's too much traffic. All right?

- Hurry up. - Yes. Filling a hole like this,

it's not rocket science.

Remember I told you that I'd get things done?

Well, here I am getting them done.

Fuck yeah!

I love you, man.

I assume that is what you meant by optics.

Yes, Mayor Fisk. It was indeed.

- Sir? - Yeah.

Solid hole work, you know, filling in that hole.

Oh, thank you, Daniel.
