Daredevil: Born Again

How old do you think this desk is?

- Excuse me? - You wonder.

Did Fiorello La Guardia sit here?

He built this city.

Foggy!

I was told you tried to kill Benjamin Poindexter that night.

It's hard to come to terms with a violent nature.

Hating the power that it has over us.

And where is Adam now?

Let me out!

You're asking New York's elite for money.

Sure, they want influence, but they don't need it.

I'm mayor of this town.

I will not tolerate people running around in silly costumes.

The rule of law will prevail.

My name is Muse.

Out.

Usually we collect their stuff

but they don't let this fucker keep anything,

so looks like we're traveling light today. Hands out.

Move.

Where are we going?

You know I'm ESH, right?

- Until my appeal-- - We know.

Enhanced supervision. All these new terms.

We used to just call it cops, snitches, and psychos.

Which one are you, Poindexter?

I'm not supposed to be here.

Right. Hear that all the time.

Stop at the line.

What is this?

Welcome to your new digs.

I was told-- I'm supposed to be--

Welcome to gen pop, Agent Poindexter.

I wanted you to know that

the funding for my Red Hook project, it's happening.

Both public and private.

Congratulations. You deserve to be happy.

I know that I haven't probably acknowledged all that you've done,

you know, all that you've built for us, I know that.

That's why it's so hard to understand why you'd throw it all away.

Oh, transform. Not throw it away.

What this project here is about to become

is due to what you've done with our financing. What you did with Luca.

He was a punk, playing at a throne.

It was painful to watch.

That's not why I brought you here.

I brought you here for something else.

Come with me.

Hey, so, um, Madison called an all-hands meeting at the office.

I should be back for dinner.

I killed him, Matt.

Do you have any idea what that felt like?

Yeah. I ca-- I can only imagine.

Uh, I, I think I'm finally starting to understand how that violence,

it just transfers from Daredevil to Muse, to me.

Not sure you can put Muse and Daredevil in the same category--

Not so sure that you can't.

They're just these underdeveloped boys,

hiding behind masks, trying to make it look like something more sophisticated.

It's a pretty dark view. I mean, I think they're completely different animals.

- You weren't there, Matt. - No, I know. I'm just saying that...

that Muse tried to kill you and Daredevil saved you.

I saved me. They were both out there for themselves.

You want me to get that?

No, I'll get it.

Morning, Mr. Murdock. Is Dr. Glenn here?

Vanessa.

This is so fucking crazy.

Please tell your husband I-- I'm sorry. I didn't know--

Stop talking.

I promised you I-- I wouldn't kill him. I kept my promise.

I shouldn't be here. I didn't know!

He's not part of us.

She's right.

You, both of you, please.

I swear to God, I swear to God--

Shut up! I can't.

I'm sorry.

I hear his voice, I... I see his hands. It's unbearable.

Mr. Cashman, what are you doing here?

The mayor wanted me to deliver this to you personally.

Along with his deepest admiration for your strength and courage

in facing that madman, Muse.

"She is a municipal treasure," were his exact words--

Hold on a second. How did you or Mayor Fisk know she was staying here?

The mayor cares deeply about this city and its citizens.

Have a good day, Counselor.

Heather, how do you know that man?

Why would you keep all this from me?

I...

I am better than I was. I am.

I am.

And-- And if I cannot be with you, Vanessa,

I cannot be.

Please. Please.

Just let me go.

Heather, I'm serious. How do you know him?

- You want to watch your tone? - Please just tell me.

I can't say. It's a work thing.

Please don't tell me Fisk is a client.

I'm not gonna answer that, Matt.

No, you-- you don't understand, all right?

If he's in your life, he's in our life.

And that is not good.

He's the mayor. He's in everybody's life.

Please. Please. Vanessa,

I won't say anything.

I'll just leave.

I didn't mean for any of this to happen.

No, you didn't.

"Mayor Fisk and the First Lady cordially request your presence

"at the Inaugural Black and White Ball

"benefitting the Red Hook Port Revitalization Project."

Wow. Black tie.

You're not seriously considering going, are you?

I mean, why wouldn't I?

'Cause he's trying to co-opt your story.

He wants to use your trauma to boost his narrative.

If his narrative is that vigilantes are dangerous, then he's got my vote--

Heather, you must see he's trying to use you.

- I'm sorry. - Vanessa...

- Please... - Why don't you come with me?

Protect me from being co-opted.

Yeah, I don't think that's a good idea.

Besides, I wasn't invited.

Vanessa...

"To Dr. Heather Glenn...

"and guest."

Yeah, okay. Great.

Please. Vanessa--

I...

I promise I won't ever leave you again.

I know.

Yeah.

Okay. Thanks for letting me know.

- You're late. - Fashionably.

Ten minutes is fashionable. 35 is just not cool.

- I'm here. What's going on? - Thanks so much.

Oh, you're good?

You look like you just got out of some North Jersey fight club.

- Thank you, Kirsten. - Uh-huh.

I'm good. Why is Madison calling a panic meeting?

Cready, Glaughlin, and McKagan are stonewalling on the financials.

As in corporate documents that belong to our client?

- Mmm-hmm. - Okay.

They are saying that all appeal filings are as much their purview as the client's

- and since we're engaged in litigation... - No--

...they're under no legal obligation

- to furnish them. - That doesn't sound like the position

- of an innocent party, does it? - No.

Seems your poison counsel approach might actually have some legs.

Is he here?

Yeah, hold on. Just... um...

there's something else.

Poindexter.

- What? What about him? - I just got a call

from one of my former colleagues at the Southern District.

He was moved from protective custody two days ago and released into gen pop.

Great. Any chance we can get a front row seat?

The reason my friend called is that Poindexter wants to talk...

- with you. - With me?

- Yeah. - Why?

I...

I have no idea. And I don't care. Neither should you.

Kirsten. Kirsten.

Do we know who moved him?

- I knew you were gonna ask me that. - Tell me.

Mayor Fisk.

Come on.

Matt, come on.

Sir, as much as I'm always interested

in an unscheduled meeting with you,

- we are due at our morning press segment-- - Cancel it.

Today is not the day for Public Relations and kissing dogs in jackets in Brooklyn.

Was that on our schedule?

Today, we take stock in our victories.

The Task Force is a success.

I'm not sure if you've seen the latest numbers

but vigilante crime is down 30% since the Task Force deployed.

And the ACLU is filing 13 different lawsuits over their excessive methods.

Let them. Excessive methods work.

Not to mention the avalanche of favorable publicity.

Looks like your conversation with BB Urich

was obviously fruitful, Daniel.

- Doing what I can, sir. - I know you do.

I think you can do more.

A lot more.

- I'm sorry, sir. I just-- - As Deputy Mayor for Communications.

- No way. - Excuse me, sir. Him?

Now, work closely with the City Council.

Make sure they turn a listening ear to our agenda.

Hmm.

Yeah. Of course.

Sir, uh, if I may say so and I'm so sorry, Daniel,

but I do believe he will be way in over his head with the Council--

I do mind you saying.

Daniel's the future of this city. Why would we stand in the way of it?

I swear to Christ, sir, I will not let you down.

I-- I will work night and day for you. Sir, I will burn for you.
