Added a synopsis


As Fisk's list of allies -- and his patience -- grows thin, Matt, Foggy and Karen discover a possible weak link in the operation.

to:

As It's an overcast and dreary day as Ben Urich is laid to rest in the cemetery in a service presided over by Father Lantom. Matt and Karen are in attendance, as are Doris and Ellison. After the burial, Karen approaches Doris and apologizes to her, blaming herself for Ben's death by pushing him to write the story on Fisk. Doris tries to assure her that Ben died doing what he loved best, trying to expose the truth, but Karen is unconvinced. Meanwhile, Matt speaks to Father Lantom, lamenting that Ben died because he failed to stop Fisk. Father Lantom assures Matt he's done more than enough.

Matt and Karen return to the office to contemplate their next move. Karen's upset that Foggy didn't attend the funeral, which Matt takes the blame for on account of his and Foggy's falling out. She also expresses her terror that Fisk will come after her next if he knows that she was with Ben when he spoke to Marlene, or if he finds out that she killed Wesley, although she doesn't tell Matt about the latter. Matt does his best to reassure her that he's still honoring his promise from back during the Union Allied case to keep her safe.

At his penthouse, Fisk is at his dining room table going over his finances when Vanessa comes out of the bedroom and joins him, against his protests that she should still be resting. Vanessa is still aghast that Fisk was planning to send her away, but he assures her that he's reconsidered. Looking at the books, he notices an irregularities in the wire transfers concerning the protection fund he wanted set up for Vanessa. It occurs to him that Owlsley might be skimming from him. He confronts Owlsley about this when they meet that night in an empty garage. Owlsley tries to deny this, but Fisk can tell he's lying because his hands are shaking and he's visibly sweating despite the cold temperatures. Caught, Owlsley confesses...and also reveals that he and Gao were behind Vanessa's poisoning. Fisk is enraged to learn that his own partners view Vanessa as a distraction to him. He moves to kill Owlsley...who stops him in his tracks by revealing that he has another bargaining chip on hand: he scooped up Carl Hoffman after [[Recap/Daredevil2015S1E8ShadowsInTheGlass Hoffman killed Christian Blake on
Fisk's list orders]]. Owlsley is checking in with him every 24 hours, and has given Hoffman orders to go to the FBI with everything if Owlsley fails to check in. Thinking he has Fisk pinned down, Owlsley prepares to leave. But Fisk cannot forgive something like Vanessa being hurt. He attacks Owlsley and throws him down an elevator shaft, then orders his men to start searching for Hoffman.

At Fogwell's Gym, Matt is blowing off steam on a punching bag when Foggy shows up. He's surprised Foggy found him here, since he's never told Foggy about the gym. Foggy hesitantly admits that he's known Matt has a sentimental attachment to the place but never said anything out
of allies -- respect. He also admits that the reason he missed out on Ben's funeral is because he got called away to a last minute meeting with Marci, who's been handing him copies of Landman & Zack's dealings with Fisk. Matt chastises Foggy for dragging his ex-girlfriend in given what just happened to Ben, but Foggy fires back that the law is probably their best shot at stopping Fisk, as [[Recap/Daredevil2015S1E8ShadowsInTheGlass Matt had previously suggested they utilize]]. Realizing Foggy would like to give Nelson & Murdock another shot, Matt agrees to his approach.

Matt and Foggy go to the 15th Precinct to speak to Brett. Brett isn't happy about seeing them, and insists on talking outside by one of the side entrances to avoid being seen "fraternizing with the enemy". He tells them about the masked vigilante beating him up at the drug lab raid and about Fisk owning cops in the precinct, not realizing that he's talking to the very man in question. Brett's hesitant to help them, considering that cops generally don't like those who rat on fellow officers, but he does admit that the vigilante's allegations have made him think about odd events that have happened in recent weeks. While they're talking, Matt gets distracted when Officer Corbin and another cop exit the precinct and head out to their patrol car while talking on a flip phone. Recognizing Corbin from when [[Recap/Daredevil2015S1E6Condemned he tried to kill him and Vladimir on the night of the bombings]], Matt listens as Corbin talks to someone else about finding out where Owlsley has stashed Hoffman. He tells Foggy about this as soon as Brett leaves, and suggests that Hoffman might be the key witness to bringing Fisk down.

Matt, Karen and Foggy burn the midnight oil as they pour through Owlsley's property records looking for some hint of where Hoffman is hiding. They eventually catch a break when Karen finds a property in Hell's Kitchen that disappeared from his portfolio without any change to Owlsley's financial balance, suggesting that he had it delisted. Assuming that it's Hoffman's hideout, Matt immediately races over in hopes of saving him. Meanwhile, Fisk's men find out about the location too and inform Fisk, who orders the nearest team to go in and leave no survivors.

At the hideout, an abandoned concert hall, one of Hoffman's guards returns from a delivery run with fresh food for Hoffman
and his patience -- grows thin, guards. Moments later, Corbin and a few other corrupt cops burst in and open fire, killing the guards. As Corbin points his gun at Hoffman and prepares to execute him, Matt arrives and takes out Corbin and his fellow officers. He tells Hoffman to go back to the precinct and surrender himself specifically to Brett, who will hook him up with Nelson & Murdock to negotiate a plea deal for him.

Hoffman complies with Matt's request and turns himself in at the precinct. Matt and Foggy are called, and negotiate with the US Attorney's office for Hoffman to provide everything he has on Fisk and waive all considerations for immunity from prosecution. Hoffman begins talking, and provides the identities of other corrupt cops in the precinct, as well as information on many other criminals and corrupt politicians in Fisk's pocket. In a subsequent montage, the FBI are shown arresting various associates of Fisk's.

* A team of FBI agents apprehends Turk Barrett as he tries to flee.
* At the precinct, Brett watches as Corbin and several other cops are arrested and removed in handcuffs.
* At the ''Bulletin'', Ellison's secretary Caldwell is arrested. Ellison can only lower his head in shame at the realization that Ben was right about Fisk having a mole in the paper.
* In the parking garage of Landman & Zack, Marci watches from her car with a smile as a team of FBI agents surround Parish Landman's car and serve him with an arrest warrant.
* Senator Cherryh is arrested and perp walked out of his office.

As night falls, Vanessa watches the news reports on the arrests with fear as Fisk frantically makes arrangements to get her out of the country, as it's only a matter of time before they're found. Fisk calms her down enough to give her directions on what to do. As the police and FBI prepare to kick down the door, Fisk pulls out a wedding ring from his coat pocket and proposes to Vanessa, hoping to get her protected by spousal privilege. Touched by the gesture, Vanessa accepts just as the FBI agents walk in and handcuff Fisk. They escort him to an armored truck to transport him to jail.

While
Matt, Karen and Foggy sit around Karen's desk and toast to their victory, and to all the people whose lives were lost along the way, Fisk begins musing to himself in the truck about what kind of person he is. He recounts the parable of the Good Samaritan, and comes to the conclusion that he's not the Samaritan who selflessly helped the wounded traveler, or the priest or the Levite that both ignored the traveler, or even the "men of ill intent" who wounded the traveler, but the "ill intent" itself. Fisk then reveals that he had just one last trick up his sleeve, for at that moment, the convoy is suddenly blocked by two moving trucks packed with armed mercenaries. The mercenaries engage the police in a shootout, killing the cops and FBI agents in the convoy (while taking a few casualties themselves), before surrounding the truck. As they knock on the truck, one of the FBI SWAT agents guarding Fisk in the back of the truck reveals that he's corrupt, and shoots his non-corrupt partner in the head. He then undoes Fisk's handcuffs and sets him free. Fisk emerges from the truck, and is escorted to one of the moving trucks that was used to block the road.

Matt visits Melvin Potter's workshop, where he's finished designing the body armor that Matt requested that he make. He's designed a full red body suit for Matt, complete with a helmet that has red devil's horns. Matt thanks Melvin for the outfit, puts it on, and begins focusing to try to find Fisk's location.

Meanwhile, Fisk's mercenaries take the trucks to an empty garage, where they transfer Fisk to another truck. One of the mercenaries gives Fisk a phone to contact Vanessa as they escort him to the helipad where he's to meet with her. He tells her to leave on the helicopter without him if he's not there in 20 minutes. The truck never makes it there, as Matt ambushes the truck by lobbing an escrima stick through the windshield, causing the driver to lose control and crash. Fisk makes a run for it as the mercenaries engage Matt, but Matt takes them all out, then corners Fisk as he tries to cut through an alley. Fisk, furious at all his hard work going to waste, engages Matt in an all-out brawl. Unlike their last encounter, Matt is able to match Fisk on even footing thanks to the armor. After several minutes, Matt ends the fight with a flying kick to Fisk's head, and Fisk falls to the ground unconscious, just as Brett pulls into the alley in his patrol car. Matt persuades Brett to let him go, and leaves once Brett has secured the handcuffs on Fisk.

At the helipad, Vanessa is informed that Fisk has been recaptured. She solemnly gets on the helicopter and flies away.

Matt's actions make the front page of the newspaper, with the press now lauding him as "Daredevil", as that's the name Brett used to describe him in his arrest report. Things are almost back to normal for the trio, something Foggy emphasizes by putting the Nelson & Murdock placard back in place. Foggy then leaves to go meet with Marci and help her find new employment in the wake of Landman & Zack being shuttered, as Matt
and Karen discover a possible weak link in muse about the operation.
uncertainty the future brings for them and head into the office.

In a prison cell, Fisk stares intently at a white wall not unlike that which his father made him stare at as a child.

As another night falls on New York City, Matt stands on a rooftop in Hell's Kitchen in his new costume. At the sound of a woman screaming, he leaps into action.

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: Fisk describes a Samaritan as simply someone who is "from Samaria." This is technically correct, but fails to prove the lesson of the parable due to lacking a lot of context about Samaria's history. "Samaritans" were a separate branch of Judaism, or more accurately of the Israelite religion, dating back from the split between the Kingdom of Judah and the Kingdom of Israel, and the enmity between them was quite bitter. The original point of "The ''Good'' Samaritan" (emphasis added) was that a Samarian, who Jewish audiences would have thought the ''least'' likely to be kind to a Jew, was being nicer to the hurt man than the people of his own nation. Then again, Fisk admits to not knowing much of religion.
