History Awesome / Daredevil2015

** To give an idea about how excited people are to see Creator/JonBernthal's excellent performance as Frank Castle again: During the New York Comic Con after the ''Series/IronFist'' panel Jeph Loeb had the lights dimmed after a few seconds only two words were heard in the darkness: ''One Batch'' As the crowd went absolutely nuts!!! As Bernthal himself walked on stage.

* Creator/VincentDOnofrio's performance as Wilson Fisk has been rightfully singled out as a terrifying yet complex and sympathetic portrayal of a classic villain. Fisk has long been one of Marvel's greatest villains and it's wonderful to see him portrayed with such perfection. In general, when it comes to live-action comic villain adaptations, the praise for his performance (and character writing) has probably only been rivaled by Creator/HeathLedger's [[Film/TheDarkKnight Joker]] and Creator/DavidTennant's [[Series/JessicaJones Kilgrave]]. In fact, when the casting calls for season 3 went out, Fisk was the first character outside of Matt, Karen and Foggy to be confirmed to be returning.

* Brett Mahoney finally gets a real moment to shine when he refuses to even let Fisk have a final goodbye with Vanessa, simply noting he didn't let Nadeem and his wife have one.

[''Flashback starts, with Matt going after the father'']\\

[''Matt springs on the father and beats the ever-loving shit out of him.'']\\

[''Matt beats him to unconsciousness'']\\

'''Matt:''' I called Child Services. Like you're supposed to. But the mom, she wouldn't believe it. Said it wasn't true. And the dad, he was smart. [''scoffs''] He made sure what he did, how he did it, didn't leave a mark. The law couldn't do anything to help that little girl. But I could.

'''Flashback!Matt:''' You touch your daughter again...and I will know.
[''Matt beats him to unconsciousness'']

'''Matt:''' I called Child Services. Like you're supposed to. But the mom, she wouldn't believe it. Said it wasn't true. And the dad, he was smart. [''scoffs''] He made sure what he did, how he did it, didn't leave a mark. The law couldn't do anything to help that little girl. But I could. [''Matt is shown beating said father senseless''] He spent the next month in a hospital, eating through a straw. And I never slept better.

* Frank, in turn, [[JerkassHasAPoint pointing out the major flaw in Matt's methods]], [[CardboardPrison the simple fact that they allow scum to keep hurting innocents where Frank's ways stop them for good.]] In fact, he has a comeback to everything Matt says, (albeit some of it just being mockery) up until the point where DD ultimately finds him beyond reasoning, and calls him insane. [[BerserkButton Frank, at this point is equally fed up with him,]] and [[TalkToTheFist takes him out with a WrenchWhack.]]

* Matt and Elektra's plan to steal the Roxxon ledger is pretty clever, Matt uses ContrivedClumsiness by bumping into Gibson and spilling wine on him(him being blind helps sell it) and then beating up him and his guards in the bathroom(to clean off the spilled wine) to steal the keycard for the office, Elektra then puts the security cameras on a loop so they won't be detected, and Matt uses his powers to find the ledger's hidden location behind a secret door(which Elektra is visibly impressed by). They then avoid getting caught once Hirochi disocvers Gibson and knocked-out guards by pretending to be a drunk couple about to have sex(Matt's blindness again coming in handy when a guard shines a flashlight in his eyes to see if he's drunk), allowing them to walk away cleanly.

** Matt’s entry into the fight with his BigDamnHeroes rescue of saving Foggy from being impaled with Dexters baton. This is especially impressive when one remembers that Dexter has been shown to throughs things such as staplers, paper clips and etc with enough strength and speed that they do almost the same damage a bullet would do and Matt catches the baton almost effortlessly.

* However, thanks to the suit Dex weathers the beating, and ultimately the tables AGAIN, using everything he can get his hands on as a weapon: from his Billy Club, to some candles, a bible, a shard of plaster, some bracelet beads, and even a holy water bowl.

* Foggy's speech calling out Tower's inaction has gone viral, with Marci telling him that video of his speech has gone viral. Foggy is awestruck to realize he could very much have a shot at actually winning the spot of District Attorney, even though he'd only done this because Marci suggested it would get the Fisk issue out into the spotlight.

** YMMV on this, but for some, seeing [[spoiler: Reyes getting gunned down by a rain of bullets is oh so satisfying to watch considering how much of a {{Load}} and AlphaBitch she was throughout the season until this point]].

** By extension, the captions before Matt dons the red suit always refer to him as "The Man in the Mask". When he dons the red suit, they refer to him as "Daredevil".

* However, Dex still turns the tables (he is really InexplicablyAwesome all through the season, managing to always beat Matt -- who was trained by the Chaste since he was a kid and is a match for the Iron Fist, the Black Sky or the Hand Leadership -- despite having no superhuman abilities of his own) and ultimately puts Matt as his mercy, segueing into...
* Karen being the one to subdue Dex, swinging a devotional statue at him like a mallet with enough force to knock him over the balcony railing.

* Frank, in turn, [[JerkassHasAPoint pointing out the major flaw in Matt's methods]], [[CardboardPrison the simple fact that they allow scum to keep hurting innocents where Frank's ways stop them for good.]] In fact, he has a comeback to everything Matt says, (albeit some of it just being mockery) up until the point where DD ultimately finds him beyond reasoning, and calls him insane. [[BerserkButton Frank, at this point is equally fed up with him,]] and [[TalkToTheFist takes him out with a single punch.]]

** Matt’s entry into the fight with his BigDamnHeroes rescue of saving Foggy from being impaled with Dexters baton. This is especially impressive when one remembers that Dexter has been shown to throughs things such as gun clips with enough strength and speed that they do almost the same damage a bullet would do and Matt catches the baton almost effortlessly.

'''Daredevil:''' No! [[ItsPersonal God knows I want to]], [[IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim but you don't get to destroy who I am]]. [[ThouShaltNotKill You will go back to prison,]] [[CruelMercy and you will live the rest of your]] '''[[CruelMercy miserable]]''' [[CruelMercy life in a cage]] knowing [[DidNotGetTheGirl you'll]] '''[[DidNotGetTheGirl never]]''' [[DidNotGetTheGirl have Vanessa]], that [[MachiavelliWasWrong this city rejected you.]] '''It beat you. [[TheGoodGuysAlwaysWin I! BEAT YOU!]]'''

*** What makes the scene all the more sweeter is how Daredevil delivers his final beatdown to Fisk. Not with any fancy gymnastics. Not with any ninja moves. But by using plain, simple, boxing techniques. Boxing techniques he likely learned from his father. It's like Fisk said - he is the son of a boxer.

*** All the more awesome when you realise Fisk is being defeated with the very tactic he used so much on others: threatening their loved ones.

* After a final demonstration of just how untouchable Fisk is by normal means, Ray Nadeem takes matters into his own hands, punching out Foggy and running back to his house. Knowing full well that Fisk will send Dex to kill him, he pulls a TakingYouWithMe by sending his wife a full account of the crimes he personally witnessed and participated in, and gives her a plan to how to get it to Matt and Foggy so they can use it as a dying declaration in court. Then when Dex arrives to do the job, Nadeem refuses to cooperate at all, makes one last futile attempt to convince Dex that Fisk will dispose of him when he has no more use for him, and when that fails, forces him to do the deed outside, risking the neighbors seeing it. He even makes one last-ditch effort to possibly take Dex out himself. After all, when you've fallen off a cliff, you might as well try to fly.

-->'''Matt Murdock:''' Vanessa. ''[This gets Fisk's attention]'' You asked me if I remembered the art gallery. I do. I remember her very well. She's out of the country; she....wants to come back.\\

* Foggy gets one when he's able to convince one of the Dogs of Hell biker member sto let him inside their clubhouse despite risking himself getting shanked. He's able to get enough information and respect from the escorting doorman before getting kicked out alive and intact.

* Matt and Elektra's plan to steal the Roxxon ledger is pretty clever, Matt uses ContrivedClumsiness by bumping into Gibson and spilling wine on him(him being blind helps sell it) and then beating up him and his guards in the bathroom(to clean off the spilled wine) to steel the keycard for the office, Elektra then puts the security cameras on a loop so they won't be detected, and Matt uses his powers to find the ledger's hidden location behind a secret door(which Elektra is visibly impressed by). They then avoid getting caught once Hirochi disocvers Gibson and knocked-out guards by pretending to be a drunk couple about to have sex(Matt's blindness again coming in handy when a guard shines a flashlight in his eyes to see if he's drunk), allowing them to walk away cleanly.

* Foggy chewing out Matt after [[spoiler:Elektra's threatening of a witness backfires and he gets removed from the case altogether]]. He lays into him for lying about Elektra, for his BloodKnight tendencies and for dragging him into a case he didn't want in the first place, only to abandon Foggy during preparations. And unlike in "[[Recap/Daredevil2015NelsonVMurdock Nelson v. Murdock]]", it's hard to have much sympathy for Matt.

'''Foggy Nelson:''' [[CallBack Fisk had Ms. Cardenas killed.]] Maybe you don't give a damn because she's dead and can't vote for you, but she was a good person. She cared about her community and was braver than both of us put together. Fisk will hurt more people like her. She didn't have a voice because the people in power didn't care. You're supposed to be Ms. Cardenas voice!

* Matt’s sheer determination throughtout TheOner scene. He’s drugged, outnumbered, and arguably takes the most hits he ever has in [[TheOner Oners]] (which is saying something) and still manages to fight off the inmates, get what he needs from the Albanian gang leader, to convince them to help him escape the prison, and in the end escapes ''being drowned in a taxi''. Murdocks just don’t know how to stay down.

'''Wilson Fisk:''' Intimately involved in his affairs, huh? His business affairs.\\
'''Karen Page:''' Of course.\\
'''Wilson Fisk:''' Tell me, so at what point did you learn about Mr. Murdock's secret life? ''[Karen stares wide-eyed at him]'' Yeah. Thank you. Thank you, Miss Page.\\
'''Karen Page:''' [[LetsGetDangerous You want secrets]]? I can tell you a secret, Wilson. Okay if I call you that? I feel like we know each other well enough by now...\\

'''Karen Page:''' Great. James Wesley... What was it like for you when he disappeared? Really, it's those first 24 hours that are the worst, aren't they? When you call and you call and you call, and there's just NO answer. It becomes an obsession. The calling. The never-ending loop of a ghost's voice wail in your ear. You worry. You wonder. You swear "Goddammit if he's still living I'm gonna kill him myself." Is that what it was like for you? Did you rage at him? 'Cause you thought he betrayed you? Because I wonder what would be worse for you? His duplicity or his death?\\

'''Karen Page:''' ''[softly]'' [[WouldYouLikeToHearHowTheyDied He died quickly...if you were wondering. Didn't suffer much.]] You see, Wilson, Matt Murdock isn't the person you should be worried about. ''I'' killed Wesley. ''I shot him seven times... '''BECAUSE THE CLIP RAN OUT! HE DESERVED MORE!'''''

*** What makes the scene all the more sweeter is how Daredevil delivers his final beatdown to Fisk. Not with any fancy gymnastics. Not with any ninja moves. But by using plain, simple, boxing techniques. Boxing techniques he likely learned from his father. It's like Fisk said- he is the son of a boxer.

** The music that plays over it makes it even better. After a long journey of loss, being beaten down to his core both physically and emotionally. Our hero: The Devil of Hell’s Kitchen finally triumpaths and is rewarded with a moment to look over the city that he has fought so hard for and sacrificed almost everything to protect finally free from Fisk grasp.

-->'''Fisk:''' [[GetOut Get out.]]
-->'''Wesley:''' [[OhCrap Sir,]] [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness if there's anything I can--]]
-->'''Fisk:''' [[VillainousBSOD GET]] '''[[NightmareFuel OUT!!!]]'''

** Earlier, the scene of Matt about to SuitUp.

* Matt's LeParkour run across Manhattan in pursuit of a drug mule. A better demonstration of Daredevil's powerset can not be imagined; he is able to singlehandedly tail a car across the city without the slightest risk of being seen because he doesn't ''need'' to see the car he's tailing - he just needs to hear the music from its radio. Though, being crazy-athletic helps too.

* [[spoiler: The last half of the season has demonstrated that actually bringing Fisk to justice may be impossible because he's got so many members of the NYPD (as well as judges and lawyers) in his pocket, meaning the actual local authorities are useless. Then Hoffman spills the beans and we are treated to a few solid minutes of what can only be described as justice porn: a slow motion montage set to opera music of all of Fisk's associates - cops, judges, and lawyers - being arrested]]. '''Hell'''. '''Yes'''.

-->'''Wilson Fisk''': [[spoiler: YOU HURT HER! YOU HURT VANESSA!]]

-->'''Wilson Fisk''': [[VillainousBreakdown I wanted to make this city...something better, than it is. Something beautiful!]] ''[[VillainousBreakdown YOU TOOK THAT AWAY FROM ME! You took EVERYTHING!!!!]]'' '''I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!''' \\
'''Matt''': (holsters his clubs)[[BringIt ...Take your shot.]]

-->''[Frank deposits a few more $100s. The owner takes out a double-barreled shotgun and empties the shells. Frank pockets the shells, then picks up the communications rig and begins walking towards the door]''
-->'''Pawn Shop Owner:''' ''[clears throat]'' Hey, man, hold on. Sure I can't get you anything else? You know, I got it all, man. [[DirtyOldMan Yeah, bondage... back-door, grannies. Or maybe you're in the market for something younger? She's barely 12. Guaranteed!]]
-->''[[[BerserkButton Castle stops and drops his satchel]]]''
-->'''Pawn Shop Owner:''' [[TooDumbToLive Haha, you like that, huh? For a hundred bucks, she's all yours!]] ''[[[TranquilFury Without saying a word]], Frank flips the sign in the door from "Open" to "Closed", then turns around and begins walking back towards the counter]'' That's my man. ''[As Frank strides towards the counter, [[BatterUp he picks up a baseball bat]]]'' What the hell are you doin'? Hey, man, just take it easy! I-I'm just trying to make a buck! ''[Frank beats him to death with the bat]''

-->'''Foggy Nelson:''' Hey, asshole! How many priors you got?
-->'''Gangbanger 1:''' ''[bewildered]'' What'd you say to me?
-->'''Foggy Nelson:''' I asked you about your priors.
-->'''Gangbanger 2:''' Yeah, keep talking shit, I'll check you into ICU myself.
-->'''Foggy Nelson:''' You got face tattoos, friend. That's like telegraphing, "I know what prison meatloaf tastes like."
-->'''Gangbanger 2:''' You just better step back, now.
-->'''Foggy Nelson:''' I'm not gonna ask if you know what happens when you get charged with assault. I've got a hunch you got more mugshots than baby pictures back home.
-->'''Gangbanger 2:''' Man, who are you?
-->'''Foggy Nelson:''' I'm the ''pro bono'' suit you'll try to retain after you go down for this. Only not even my soft-hearted partner will take your case, or any other self-respecting attorney in Hell's Kitchen. Not because you're so badass, but because you're [[PunctuatedForEmphasis just. That. Stupid.]]
-->'''Gangbanger 2:''' You got a big mouth, asshole.
-->'''Foggy Nelson:''' You forget, I do this for a living. I could ask you to look at the faces of the other patients. Every last one of 'em scared to death, because the two of you can't keep it in your pants. But I'm guessing that neither one of you could give a collective shit. So I'm gonna do what attorneys do best and appeal to your selfish natures. Simply put, if you carve each other up now, in front of these witnesses, with cops right outside, you're screwed!
-->'''Gangbanger 2:''' I can't just walk away, man.
-->'''Foggy Nelson:''' I'm not asking you to lose the oh-so-serious stink-eye. Just don't fight! Put 'em down. Let these people do their jobs.

-->'''Claire Temple:''' You know, you're good with people.\\

--> '''Frank Castle:''' Only I do the one thing you can't. You hit 'em and they get back up. I hit 'em and they '''''stay down'''''!

---> '''Finn''': You wanted this.
---> '''Frank''': No, I counted on it.

-->'''Foggy Nelson:''' You know it's really not a good idea to piss her [Karen] off. So, what can I do for the Assistant District Attorney?
-->'''Blake Tower:''' It's more, "what I can do for you", Mr. Nelson. We need all your files on the Grote case. Notes, interviews, any and all recordings and e-mails.
-->'''Foggy Nelson:''' And in return, we get...
-->'''Blake Tower:''' I convince District Attorney Reyes to scratch the names of Nelson and Murdock off her shit-list.
-->'''Foggy Nelson:''' Wow. There's an actual list?
-->'''Blake Tower:''' Mr. Nelson, I-
-->'''Foggy Nelson:''' I'm sorry. Believe me, the sooner this Punisher mess is off our plate, the better. So show me a subpoena and....''[Tower appears to be somewhat nervous]'' Is there a problem? ''[Tower takes a seat]''
-->'''Blake Tower:''' Are you really gonna make me jump through hoops for this?
-->'''Foggy Nelson:''' Trust me, there's nothing I'd rather do more than cooperate with your office. But a legal firm sharing privileged communications with a client, I mean, even a deceased one, without a court order? I've seen lawyers get disbarred for less. And I don't know about you, but I worked ''really hard'' for my law degree. Nights and everything.
-->'''Blake Tower:''' Reyes... she staked all her political chips on the conviction of this Punisher freak. Now, if things'll go her way, there'll be an opening in the District Attorney's office in the not-so-distant future.
-->'''Foggy Nelson:''' And DA Tower has a nice ring to it.
-->'''Blake Tower:''' [[ShameIfSomethingHappened Now, I'd start considering the benefits that could accrue if your firm were more... cooperative.]]
-->'''Foggy Nelson:''' Like I said. Show me a subpoena, and I'll cooperate like a son of a bitch.
-->'''Blake Tower:''' Reyes is gonna roll over you like a tank.
-->'''Foggy Nelson:''' You keep saying that. And yet... still kinda here.

--> '''Foggy''': Is this about saving a man, or saving a ''vigilante''?
--> '''Matt''': [[ArmorPiercingResponse He's a person. Like you, Foggy, like me, and he shouldn't have to die.]]

-->'''Matt''': I'm not gonna stop, Foggy. Not anytime soon. ...and to be honest, I'm done apologizing to you for who I am.

-->'''Wilson Fisk:''' Sometimes I'm glad I'm in here. The fate of New York City is out of my hands, for once.
-->'''Matt Murdock:''' ''[slams his hand on the table]'' [[ShutUpKirk That's bullshit!]]
-->'''Wilson Fisk:''' I don't know what you expect from me. But we're finished here. Mr. Donovan? ''[Donovan clicks off the tape recorder]''
-->'''Matt Murdock:''' Vanessa. ''[This gets Fisk's attention]'' You asked me if I remembered the art gallery. I do. I remember her very well. She's out of the country; she....wants to come back.
-->'''Wilson Fisk:''' ''[to Donovan]'' Leave us. ''[Donovan steps out]''
-->'''Matt Murdock''': So listen to me very closely: I will use every legal loophole and footnote to make certain that ''never'' happens. You see, unlike your other adversaries, Mr. Fisk, I can break you without breaking a single law. You may have expensive lawyers, but with one envelope and $6 postage, I can make sure Vanessa never sets foot on American soil again. One letter to the right office, and I get her visa pulled. I can prove she was an accomplice to every one of your crimes. And now you're thinking you can serve your sentence, hop on a jet, go to her whenever you like. Live somewhere like Monaco, or... I don't know, wherever the hell you fat cats go to sun yourselves. But you can't. You can visit her, but you'll never live with her. Because this is New York, Wilson. You live here. This is your jungle. This is your blood, like it is mine. She will never come... and you'll never leave. You screw with me now, just a little bit... and you'll never really be with your one and only Vanessa ever again.

-->'''Wilson Fisk''': SPEAK HER NAME AGAIN! GO AHEAD! (''Matt punches him, and Fisk slams him into the table again'') Yes, the son of a boxer!\\

'''Wilson Fisk''': You ask such small questions, Mr. Murdock.\\
'''Matt Murdock''': I know you're regaining power in here-\\
'''Wilson Fisk''': Yes, ask my lawyer. He'll deny it. Ask the guards, they'll deny it! Ask the inmates here. [[TheDreaded They'll cut their tongues out before they talk!]] But I have something to say to you: When I finally get out of this cage, I will dismantle the lives of the two amateurs THAT PUT ME IN HERE!! You, Mr. Murdock, and Franklin Percy Nelson!\\

'''Wilson Fisk:''' The two of you took the laurels. You'll both take the blame. I'll chop both the heads off that snake, ''and I'll spend more than $6 on postage to bring you down!'' You see, I've had a lot of time to reflect on my journey here, Mr. Murdock! My mistakes, everything I took for granted. And while I try and sleep in this bleak place, the one thing that keeps me warm...is the thought that I will look down upon this city, [[CreateYourOwnVillain the city that]] ''[[CreateYourOwnVillain birthed me]]'', with the woman that I love, who...whom I love with ''everything'' that I am! If you're worried that Frank Castle will wreak havoc on Hell's Kitchen (''throws Matt back into his seat'')...'''just wait.'''

--> '''Stick:''' Tracking heartbeats is kids' stuff. Time to go deeper. Track their breath. Sooner or later they gotta (''breathes out sharply'') exhale. When they do... kick their ass.

* A rather dark example; Frank [[spoiler:finally offing the Blacksmith and finding the secret armory within the shed of weapons. He finds a plethora of guns...and a vest that seems to resemble a skull - and it's at that point that Frank ''truly'' becomes the Punisher.]]

-->'''Foggy Nelson:''' Would you care more if you weren't trying to get re-elected?
-->'''Blake Tower:''' Watch it counselor.
-->'''Foggy Nelson:''' [[CallBack Fisk had Ms. Cardenas killed.]] Maybe you don't give a damn because she's dead and can't vote for you, but she was a good person. She cared about her community and was braver than both of us put together. Fisk will hurt more people like her. She didn't have a voice because the people in power didn't care. You're supposed to be Ms. Cardenas voice!

-->'''Wilson Fisk:''' You came for words, at least.
-->'''Karen Page:''' Yeah. Let's-Let's have some words.
-->'''Wilson Fisk:''' You are not writing an article about my mother.
-->'''Karen Page:''' I'm not? I could.
-->'''Wilson Fisk:''' To what end, Miss Page? My distress?
-->'''Karen Page:''' Hmm. That doesn't actually sound that bad, now that you say it.
-->'''Wilson Fisk:''' [[{{Hypocrite}} I do not welcome intrusions into my privacy.]]
-->'''Karen Page:''' Yet you invited me in?
-->'''Wilson Fisk:''' You worked for Ben Urich, didn't you? I believe he mentored you.
-->'''Karen Page:''' Yes, before he was murdered.
-->'''Wilson Fisk:''' A final lesson. One you seem not to have understood.
-->'''Karen Page:''' Is that a threat?
-->'''Wilson Fisk:''' It's an observation.
-->'''Karen Page:''' Well, you're right. I'm not here to talk about your mother. I'd rather talk about what she told Ben. Actually, really, rather, what she told ''us''. See, I don't think you know, but I was with him. It probably wasn't fair. Two trained journalists working on a feeble old woman like that. It's easy to push her. Get her to say things she doesn't want to...
-->'''Wilson Fisk:''' Your point?
-->'''Karen Page:''' She remembered ''a lot'' about your childhood. They say the oldest memories stick around the longest. She remembered a lot of little things. A lot of embarrassing things. Seems like there were a lot of those, weren't there, [[MythologyGag Willie]]?
-->'''Wilson Fisk:''' I'm sure your readers at the ''Bulletin'' will be as entertained as you are.
-->'''Karen Page:''' No…we would never print those. We just pass them around the office.
-->'''Wilson Fisk:''' How is it around your office? I heard about your misfortune.
-->'''Karen Page:''' Before it even happened, I'm sure. No, the story that we will print is her very detailed description of your father. And how you murdered him. ''[inhales]'' A ''hammer''. [[EnfantTerrible At that age?]] Is there any part of you that isn't broken, I wonder?
-->''[beat]''
-->'''Wilson Fisk:''' You asked me why I let you in. The reason is, Miss Page, I have a few questions of my own. You are a respected journalist, but at one time you were merely a secretary at a law firm. To Matt Murdock, yes?
-->'''Karen Page:''' Office manager.
-->'''Wilson Fisk:''' Intimately involved in his affairs, huh? His business affairs.
-->'''Karen Page:''' Of course.
-->'''Wilson Fisk:''' Tell me, so at what point did you learn about Mr. Murdock's secret life? ''[Karen stares wide-eyed at him]'' Yeah. Thank you. Thank you, Miss Page.
-->'''Karen Page:''' [[LetsGetDangerous You want secrets]]? I can tell you a secret, Wilson. Okay if I call you that? I feel like we know each other well enough by now...
-->'''Wilson Fisk:''' As you wish, ''Karen''...
-->'''Karen Page:''' Great. James Wesley... What was it like for you when he disappeared? Really, it’s those first 24 hours that are the worst, aren’t they? When you call and you call and you call, and there’s just NO answer. It becomes an obsession. The calling. The never-ending loop of a ghost’s voice wail in your ear. You worry. You wonder. You swear "Goddammit if he’s still living I’m gonna kill him myself." Is that what it was like for you? Did you rage at him? ‘Cause you thought he betrayed you? Because I wonder what would be worse for you? His duplicity or his death?
-->'''Wilson Fisk:''' ''[Breathing heavily]''
-->'''Karen Page:''' ''[softly]'' [[WouldYouLikeToHearHowTheyDied He died quickly...if you were wondering. Didn’t suffer much.]] You see, Wilson, Matt Murdock isn’t the person you should be worried about. ''I'' killed Wesley. ''I shot him seven times... '''BECAUSE THE CLIP RAN OUT! HE DESERVED MORE!'''''

* However, Dex still turns the tables (he is really InexplicablyAwesome all through the season, managing to always beat Matt - who was trained by the Chaste since he was a kid and is a match for the Iron Fist, the Black Sky or the Hand Leadership - despite having no superhuman abilities of his own) and ultimately puts Matt as his mercy, segueing into...

*** Right after unmasking, Matt makes a deal - [[SecretKeeper Fisk is to keep his identity as Daredevil secret]], as well as to never harm Karen, Foggy, or any innocent life again, or else Matt will expose Vanessa as the murderer of Nadeem, leaving Fisk with no way to back out of the deal. All he can do is accept, and accept he ''does''.
--->'''Wilson Fisk''': If I agree to your demands...''leave my wife '''alone!''''' Leave Vanessa ''free!''
--->'''Matt Murdock''': If you keep your word. ''(extends arm)''
--->'''Wilson Fisk''': ''(hesitates, but then shakes Matt's hand)'' Then it's a deal.

* Foggy having absolutely none of agent Nadeem's shit when Nadeem to intimidate him into cooperating and holding his composure better than Karen did (though in defense of Karen she was having a bad day when the FBI took her to Matt's apartment)
