Daredevil Page #3

What's eating you?

Rough night.

Well, you want to talk about it?

No.

- It's about Elektra, isn't it?

- No.

Natchios owns The Grand Hotel, and

Elektra's the reason you were invited.

She's out of my league,

and I'd rather end it before it starts.

That's gotta be some record. You just

completely bypass the relationship...

...you went right into the breakup.

Trying to save some time?

What happens to that lie detector

of yours when it detects your own bull?

Let's really bury the needle, huh?

Swish.

Look, Matt, seriously,

the ball's in your court.

So does this mean you want a rematch?

I knew I'd find you.

How did you know I wasn't a mugger?

Muggers don't usually wear

rose oil or high heels.

At least this far from Chelsea.

Come here.

There's something I wanna show you.

Wait a second.

Exactly how many women

have you brought up here, anyway?

You're my first.

- Good answer.

- I thought that was the right answer.

Look at this.

It's so beautiful.

I know. This was my favorite view

of the city when I was a kid.

I really wanted you to see this.

What's this?

That's from my mother.

- For good luck.

- It's beautiful.

It's a good-luck charm, huh?

I could use one of those.

Do they make them in Braille?

She gave it to me right before she died.

What happened?

- I should go.

- No. Just wait.

- No, I'm gonna go...

- Wait, wait, wait. It's about to rain.

- No, it's not.

- It is. I'm telling you, it's...

The temperature dropped two or

three degrees. I can smell the moisture.

And when it rains, it's like

there's a rooftop on the world.

Each raindrop makes a sound

the first time it falls on a surface.

Just then, it's like I...

It's like I can see again.

And I just wanna...

I just wanna see you.

Okay.

Look, here it comes.

My God.

You are so beautiful.

Hey, I'm gonna cut you up, man.

- Think Kingpin didn't want his money?

- What?

- That's my car! That's my car!

- Matt, what's wrong?

- Police!

- Shut up!

- Matt?

- I'm sorry.

- I have to go.

- Hey, come back here.

Stay.

Stay with me.

This is what I'm talking about.

Aren't you happy you listened to me?

This is gonna be great for business.

Thank you.

Matt Murdock. Ben Urich,

New York Post.

Ben Urich, nice to meet you.

You write articles

about urban legends, right?

Well, yes, among other things.

Settle something for us. You know

the alligators in the sewers? My partner...

I followed that piece

you wrote about the Kingpin.

One man running all the crime in New

York City sounds a little far-fetched.

Yeah, but, then again, so does a vigilante

who thinks every day is Halloween.

They gotta be huge by now, right,

the alligators?

It's a myth.

Look, I'd like you to give me a call...

Sorry.

Cool color.

I wouldn't know.

Yeah, but do give me a call. There's

something I'd like to talk to you about.

Nice to meet you. Enjoy the party.

Look at that.

Wilson Fisk is in the hizzey.

We may never get a chance

like this again. Come on, let's go.

- We should talk about this.

- Mr. Fisk. Hi.

It's Franklin Nelson

from Nelson & Murdock...

Hey, yeah, you wanna talk to Mr. Fisk,

you make an appointment.

- Okay?

- Wesley. I know who you are.

You're the blind lawyers

from Hell's Kitchen.

Right. Actually, he's the blind one.

I'm deaf.

Give them a card, Wesley.

I'm always on the lookout

for new blood.

I'm sorry, Mr. Fisk.

My partner is a little overzealous.

We can't represent you.

And why is that?

Yes, why is that, Mr. Murdock?

Because we only handle

clients who are innocent.

"Innocent," he said. He's pretty funny.

I've learned one thing

in my years in this business.

What's that?

Nobody's innocent.

Nobody.

- Have a great time at the party.

- Thank you.

I just... You know, Matt,

for one night, I just wish...

I just...

Matt, I just wish I could

give you my eyes for one night.

- It's like that?

- It's like that.

You want me to take you

up there, Matt? Matt?

Matt?

Now I found you.

That's all that matters.

Hi. Hello. Hello.

Hello.

You look beautiful tonight.

Do you mind?

No, I just... Sometimes it makes

people uncomfortable. That's all.

Not me.

But you should know...

...that the only reason

I got dressed up for this thing...

...was that I wanted

to look beautiful for you.

I wish you could see me tonight.

Me too.

Matt.

What's wrong?

It's just...

...good things don't happen

to me very often.

When they do, I get scared.

Nothing bad is gonna happen. Promise.

Doesn't she look beautiful?

I think she's happy.

I haven't seen her smile like that

since before her mother was killed.

Poor girl. Right in front of her eyes.

What, you have to bring that up now?

History has a way of repeating itself.

- What are you saying?

- Just saying goodbye, old friend.

Just saying goodbye.

- Something's happening.

- What is it?

Papa!

Papa. Papa.

Tell me where you're going.

You wait.

I'm sorry.

- What is going on?

- New York is not a safe place tonight.

That's all you need to know.

Watch out!

I missed. I never miss.

Drop something?

Bullseye.

Daddy.

Get that over to Forensics right away.

Hey, Nick.

What do you want, Urich?

Does all this make you happy?

Looks like you got your story.

You were right, Father.

You were right.

- I know how you feel.

- You don't know how I feel.

I want revenge.

Revenge won't make the pain go away.

Trust me. I know.

There's no place for me now.

Yes, there is.

Stay.

Stay with me.

Please.

Elektra.

Elektra, wait.

Please.

Drive.

Oh, cha-ching.

This better be good, Kirby.

You know me, Urich.

It's always good. Come on.

Okay.

Are you ready to see

something really, really cool?

- Come on.

- Okay.

- Come on. I'm throwing you gold.

- Give me my money.

- Why?

- I've seen it. Come on.

All right.

Well, but have you seen this?

And tighty righty, loosey left...

You said to look out

for anything weird, yes?

This is pretty weird sh*t

right here, man. Right?

You have no idea.

Police are still investigating the murder

of Nikolaos Natchios...

- will identify Natchios

as the so-called Kingpin.

- believes that the self-styled

vigilante is wanted for murder.

- implication of Daredevil.

How did you get past my security?

You mean that guy?

Was that really necessary?

Necessary? No, it was fun.

You know, you've exceeded

all my expectations.

You even managed to implicate Daredevil

in the process. You should be pleased.

He...

...made me...

...miss.

There's an old saying that

too much pride can kill a man.

The devil is mine.

Really?

I've heard that before, all too

many times. But answer me this:

How do you kill a man without fear?

By putting the fear in him.

I like that. But first...

...give Elektra all my best.

Is there anything else?

Yeah.

I want a bloody costume.

What do you want?

- Matt, it's Ben Urich.

- I know who it is. What do you want?

I got a lead on my story.

I think Natchios was set up

by the real Kingpin.

Why are you telling me this?
