Cottonmouth tries to regain his reputation, but Scarfe has other plans in mind.
to:
Since standing up to Cottonmouth, Luke Cage has gained a reputation throughout New York City, to the point that [[Series/JessicaJones2015 Trish Walker]] is doing a segment about him on ''Trish Talk'', which Luke listens to on his morning jog.
Meanwhile, at a warehouse in Queens, Cottonmouthtries meets with Scarfe to regain his reputation, but get back the guns he had Scarfe remove from evidence. Scarfe has other plans ideas, however. With Internal Affairs cracking down on him, he demands $100,000 before he'll hand the guns over to Cottonmouth, money he knows Cottonmouth doesn't have. Cottonmouth ponders the idea, then after a moment, makes clear what he thinks of it by attacking Scarfe. After a struggle, he manages to commandeer Scarfe's gun, and shoots him multiple times with it. He drives off, leaving a critically wounded Scarfe lying by his car.
In Harlem, Mariah is doing a pre-taped segment for an interview she'll be conducting on WJBP for Thembi Wallace about her housing project developments. Luke accosts her after she finishes filming, to warn her that he's coming after her with everything he's got.
Luke eats breakfast with Bobby Fish at the A Train Diner, while discussing the events of the last few weeks. They both concur that Pop's needs to be kept open for the sake of the community. Bobby floats the idea that Luke could become a Giants player, or make a career running around as a vigilante inmind.
Harlem. Luke entertains the idea, once Bobby proposes a potential slogan he could market with.
Mariah is furious with Cottonmouth for shooting Scarfe. Even his excuse for what happened doesn't pacify her. It's clear that she's paranoid about the blowback that will come if Scarfe is found and talks, since she'll be caught up in it. Once reassured that the guns are being delivered to Domingo as promised, she turns the talk over to Luke Cage and the threat he poses. She suggests that he find alternate means to kill Luke, since bullets don't do anything on him.
After Mariah leaves, Cottonmouth calls Lieutenant Perez, who is in his office at the 29th Precinct. Perez warns him that the police are scrambling as try to find where Scarfe might have gone, as he's managed to flee the area where the shooting happened. Cottonmouth is relieved when told that Scarfe was a lone wolf, but won't be able to relax until Scarfe is found.
Luke's breakfast with Bobby is interrupted when Claire arrives. Bobby dismisses himself and allows Claire to take his place in Luke's booth. The two exchange pleasantries as Claire touches base to see how Luke is doing. She's still impressed Luke managed to pull through from getting shot point-blank by Jessica, a wound that should have killed him easily. Having heard about his heroics, she wonders if Luke could put his talents to use helping out the community.
At the precinct, a manhunt is ordered by Misty's captain in an attempt to locate Scarfe. After giving a debriefing, Captain Audrey and Perez take Misty aside and grill her to see if she knows anything about why Scarfe was at the warehouse alone. Her answers don't do anything to dissuade Captain Audrey.
Meanwhile, Luke and Claire return to Pop's Barbershop, still talking about Luke's deeds. Upon arriving, Luke realizes something is off as the front door is unlocked. Entering the shop, he notices a trail of blood. Following it into the backroom, they find Scarfe, bleeding profusely, leaning against the washing machine. Scarfe begs for them to not call the cops or Misty, too ashamed to let her see him in this state. With the amount of blood he's lost, Claire leaps into action, realizing they need to get the bullets out of him.
While Misty goes with Perez to check out Scarfe's apartment for evidence of his wherabouts, Luke and Claire get Scarfe into one of the barbershop chairs, and Claire extracts the bullet from his leg. Deliriously, Scarfe admits to everything he's done for Cottonmouth lately, including killing Chico. At the mention of Chico's name, Luke snaps and nearly chokes Scarfe to death, only to stop when Claire pulls him away. Frustrated, Luke prepares to leave. Desperate, Scarfe begins talking, and begins to reveal everything else he knows about the operation, including how Cottonmouth disappears murder victims at Spurlock's, along with the fact he's made notes on murder investigations he's sabotaged to cover Cottonmouth's tracks. All the incriminating information is on a ledger he keeps under the floorboards in his apartment.
Luke makes his way to Scarfe's apartment, not noticing Misty and Perez parked outside in their car, watching in case he comes back. He breaks the door handle and forces his way into Scarfe's apartment, where he finds the ledger. He is just about to leave when Misty comes up with Perez, having noticed the ajar door and come to investigate. Luke escapes by jumping out a window into a nearby alley, and running off. He quickly returns to the barbershop and informs Claire and Scarfe that they need to leave before the cops track them down.
Luke and Claire decide that the best course of action is to take Scarfe downtown to One Police Plaza, away from the influence of the 29th Precinct, where they can hand him off to district attorney, and get round-the-clock protection for Scarfe until he can testify against Cottonmouth. They do so by using a delivery van loaned to them by Claire's mother. With Luke driving, they make their way through the streets, narrowly missing several police checkpoints. Unbeknownst to them, Perez has tipped off Cottonmouth about what's happened at Scarfe's apartment, and Cottonmouth has ordered his men to sweep the streets.
While all this is going on, Mariah is doing her TV interview with Thembi Wallace. The interview starts pleasantly, with Thembi asking some questions first about her rivalry with fellow councilman Damon Boone, and about the housing projects. However, things turn south when Thembi begins to grill Mariah about some less pleasant topics, specifically, her connections to organized crime, and the recent attack on her offices at Crispus Attucks. Mariah ends the interview, claiming Thembi is trying to use the incident to bring her down and smear her, and has Alex remove the camera crew from the brownstone.
Luke, Claire, and Scarfe are eventually spotted in the Bowery by some of Cottonmouth's men. After a lengthy chase, they ditch the van and begin making their way through an adjacent building. After a lengthy game of cat-and-mouse, Luke is able to defeat all of the henchmen, taking out the last ones just as Misty arrives, having just figured out that Perez is dirty. Unfortunately, it's too late to save Scarfe, who lasts a few minutes long before expiring.
With Scarfe dead, the police raid Harlem's Paradise and arrest Cottonmouth. Misty cuffs him using Scarfe's handcuffs, then leaves two uniformed cops to perp walk Cottonmouth out of the club. The news also makes it to Thembi's camera crew, who haven't yet finished clearing their camera equipment from Mariah's brownstone. Thembi rushes in and tries to get a comment from Mariah about Cottonmouth's arrest. Alex quickly steps in and escorts them out, leaving Mariah to panic over the impending fallout.
Their work done, Luke and Claire make their way back to Harlem, with Claire complimenting Luke about his powers. She suggests he could be doing more with them, and he could also use a new hoodie.
At the precinct, not everything is upbeat and optimistic, as Misty finds out when Captain Audrey comes out of a meeting with several of the brass from downtown. Apparently, they're considering letting Cottonmouth go, as they're too scared of the headlines, especially now, one year after so many cops were found to be in Wilson Fisk's pocket.
