The episode opens with Daredevil fighting a red ninja, one who uses a kunai with chain to slice at Daredevil from a distance. The red ninja seems to have the advantage, constantly knocking Daredevil down or making a cut with his weapon.<\/p>\n

After the opening credits play, Father Lantom approaches Matt Murdock and says that he\u2019s open for Confession. However, Matt wants to take the priest up on his latte offer. Fr. Lantom said that he is still willing to listen to Matt\u2019s confession, since it\u2019s just the two of them. Matt asks Fr. Lantom if he believes in the devil. The good priest admits that he believed that the devil was inconsequential, justifying the fact that \u201cSatan\u201d in Hebrew meant advocate, so he used to think that the devil represented any antagonist. Then he spent some time in Rwanda and befriended Gahiji, a village leader and holy man. Gahiji\u2019s enemies were ordered to behead him in front of the village. Even though Gahiji was able to win over the men who worked for the enemy leader, he wasn\u2019t able to win over the man himself. In that instance, Fr. Lantom began to believe in the Devil and that he could take many forms.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, at the Nelson\u00a0and Murdock law offices, Foggy, Karen, and Urich discuss what to do about Fisk because of his Villain with Good Publicity status. Urich gives Karen the documents that Daredevil gave him. Karen looks through them and starts thinking of following the money through the six degrees of separation. Foggy is unsure about whether or not to trust the Mask, as Karen calls him, but Karen and Ben Urich definitely do.<\/p>\n

Fisk and Wesley meet down in a warehouse by the docks. Hoffman has gone missing and Fisk\u2019s men haven\u2019t found him yet. Wesley also points out that Daredevil hasn\u2019t been as active as he once was. However, Nobu comes in and interrupts, demanding a particular city block in exchange for his services to Fisk. Fisk tells him that the city block will be hard to clear out, so he asks Nobu to take care of the man in black.<\/p>\n

Back in the offices of Nelson and Murdock, Foggy and Karen are struggling with their follow-the-money plan. Mrs. Cardenas comes in, telling them about how Fisk is offering them double or nothing to move out. They persuade her to fight back and Mrs. Cardenas is firm in her resolve. Once Mrs. Cardenas leaves, Matt isn\u2019t sure if standing up to Fisk is the right thing because he won\u2019t be shaken easily, but Karen wants to call the old man out. Matt goes to the art gallery where Vanessa works.<\/p>\n

At the gallery, it\u2019s shown that there is extra security. Matt comes under the guise of buying art to impress the ladies. Vanessa shows him a painting and describes it to him. The painting is a gradient of red, a bright red center with dark in the background. He asks her about what kind of art her boyfriend likes. Cue Fisk entering the gallery. It\u2019s probably not a coincidence. The two of them have a discussion about the tenement case. Matt decides to leave the gallery to \u201cconsider the cost\u201d and heads to church.<\/p>\n

Fr. Lantom and Matt speak in front of the crucifix. They discuss what Matt ought and ought not to do about his desire to confront the devil. Fr. Lantom tells him to think about what his desires are because the ends don\u2019t justify the means. He quotes Proverbs 25:26 and opens two interpretations. On the one hand, evil happens if good men do nothing. On the other hand, the sin of a righteous\u00a0man can affect everyone else. Lantom thinks that Matt went to see Vanessa to try and find a third way.<\/p>\n

Matt returns to the offices. Karen finds the people who attacked her outside of Mrs. Cardenas\u2019s apartment. But while they\u2019re off the map, the good news is that the law firm finally has a proper sign. Karen gets a phone call\u2026it\u2019s the coroner calling them to identify Mrs. Cardenas\u2019s body. She was stabbed multiple times.<\/p>\n

We cut back to the fight between Daredevil and the red ninja. Daredevil fights back in spite of the multiple slices. The red ninja is revealed to be Nobu himself, intent on assassinating Daredevil. The fight scene is brutal and it seems that Daredevil is down for the count.<\/p>\n

Down at Josie\u2019s pub, Foggy, Karen, and Matt mourn Mrs. Cardenas. Matt doesn\u2019t think that her death is a coincidence. Local news talk about Mrs. Cardenas\u2019s death and Fisk talks about the offer he made to the tenants. Fisk cries crocodile tears, but Matt, Karen, and Foggy know that it\u2019s not a coincidence. Karen wants the Mask to take care of Fisk by any means. Matt asks Karen if she\u2019s religious. Karen admits that she isn\u2019t. Matt says he\u2019s Catholic. Karen asks if it helps, given their current situation, Matt admits that it currently doesn\u2019t. As Matt leaves, Karen tells Matt that if God exists, then Fisk will get what he deserves.<\/p>\n

Matt returns to his apartment and, after thinking about it for a minute, decides to open up a green trunk. It\u2019s a trunk that contains his father\u2019s boxing uniform and his Daredevil costume. A montage of Daredevil interrogating people in various allies. He comes across some heroin junkies in a rundown apartment and finds Mrs. Cardena\u2019s purse there. He beats up one of them and asks about where he got the purse. The addict gives him the name of a pier where he got hired. Daredevil tells the addict to turn himself in or else and gives one last punch for good measure.<\/p>\n

Daredevil arrives at the pier and feels out the plans Nobu laid out for Hell\u2019s Kitchen. He hears the heartbeat of another person in the room. Nobu appears. Daredevil quickly figures out that it\u2019s a trap. The two of them quickly get into a fight. It\u2019s at this point that see the parts of Daredevil that\u00a0Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles\u00a0<\/em>got their inspiration from.<\/p>\n

At Josie\u2019s pub, Foggy and Karen continue to drown their sorrows. Foggy blames himself for Mrs. Cardenas\u2019s death and begins to lose faith in what he believes in, given how Fisk has so much power and money.<\/p>\n

We cut back to where the fight left off. Daredevil is able to get Nobu off his back and kicks him into a back wall. We notice gasoline pouring out of a barrel. A spark from a lamp sets Nobu on fire. Daredevil struggles to get up while Fisk thanks him for \u201cmurdering\u201d Nobu. This is the first time that Daredevil and Fisk meet face to face. Daredevil tells Fisk that he\u2019s gonna kill him. Of course, Fisk came with armed backup. Daredevil uses Nobu\u2019s weapon to slice at Fisk, but it doesn\u2019t wok. Fisk starts beating Daredevil down and sends him flying, with Daredevil breaking the desk of Nobu\u2019s plans. He starts to leave and\u00a0tells Wesley to finish the job, giving Daredevil the chance to escape quickly by jumping out of a window and into the river. Fisk tells his other henchman to make a manhunt for Daredevil. Shoot on sight.<\/p>\n

Foggy shows up at Matt\u2019s apartment and hears a noise inside. He comes in through the roof entrance. He comes inside and sees that the floor\u2019s been broken through. He arms himself with Matt\u2019s walking stick and Daredevil appears, stumbling and falling down. Foggy calls 911, but hangs up as the slow realization and curiosity sinks in. He takes off the mask\u2026revealing Daredevil to be Matt.<\/p>\n
