Good.

Christa, Mr. and Mrs. Mendez...

I'll get them to a safe place.

If we can get Ellie to

identify those two men,

it'll put us one step

closer to Wilson Fisk.

I'll need to be alone

with Mr. Murdock.

[phones ringing, many voices]

FEMALE GUARD:
There should

be a guard at this door!

Where is she?

She's gone!

She's gone!

Where the hell is she?

[scanning, beeping sound]

VOICE ON SPEAKER:

She's pretty, Edgar.

She is.

(SOFTER) You are.

VOICE ON SPEAKER:

Are you an actress, Ms. Mendez?

I'm a person.

A person with rights.

And I have the right to say no to

some punk on a subway, don't I?

Isn't that how all this started?

I was hoping you were an actress.

We have a role for you.

You are to play the part of a

princess who must be rescued.

It is a fine part.

I am a teacher.

That's what I am.

I'm needed.

And I'm missed.

You see, I have my own

plans and my own dreams.

Maybe they're not

as big as yours.

But they're important to me.

(SHOUTING) How dare

you take them away?

Just who the hell do

you think you are?

I have just borrowed you

from your life, Ms. Mendez.

When I'm done,

I will put you back.

I'm sure you will.

Jay.

Loma.

Take her away.

Gently, gently.

[mechanical sound]

What an interesting woman.

She has spirit.

I particularly enjoyed

her speech about rights.

She would probably have made

a wonderful teacher one day.

So sad.

[mechanical sound]

But she told you

I was innocent.

That was a private phone call.

It's not evidence enough.

MATT MURDOCK:
These are very

serious charges against you.

CHRISTA KLEIN:
We'll take

your case for no fee, David.

We want to help you.

And we want you to help us.

You'll go through the books

until you find those two men.

I can't stand trial.

What're you saying?

You don't understand.

I... I can't.

I have to avoid people, conflict.

You mean medically?

You're not well?

I change.

I change.

We'll be there to help you.

You don't understand!

I understand a woman's been kidnapped.

And maybe it's not too late for

her if you help us break this case.

I can't stand trial.

You have no choice.

You can't force me to go on

the stand. I can't be responsible...

We'll be responsible!

(ANGRILY) You don't know

what you're talking about!

I'm telling you that it's dangerous!

I'm telling you that it's impossible!

And I'm telling you,

you have no choice!

Is that clear?

No choice.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY: (SHOUTING)

You have no choice.

Mr. Belson, if that is your name.

Answer the question!

You must answer!

Your Honor!

He must answer the question!

He is harassing the witness.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY: (SHOUTING)

I am trying to get him to speak!

You're all out of order!

DISTRICT ATTORNEY: (SHOUTING)

What is it you are trying to hide?

Nothing.

You must answer the question.

Please.

ALL VOICES:
Please, damn you.

Answer the question.

You must answer the question.

David, answer the question.

Answer him, David.

Answer the question.

[gavel banging, voices shouting]

[screaming]

[ripping sounds]

[growling]

[roaring]

[screaming]

[growling]

[screaming and growling]

[spraying sound]

[growling]

[screaming and growling]

[door banging]

[panting, soft whimpering]

DAVID BANNER:
(GASPING DESPERATELY)

Help!

Help!

Help!

No.

No!

[growling]

[metal breaking]

[GROWLING AND BREAKING,

SCREAMING PRISONERS]

Mmmmmm.

I can't believe it.

You have to believe your eyes,

Tendelly, don't you?

And I have to believe

what you tell me.

If I tell you about some

giant with green skin,

do you believe that?

You know what I mean by green?

I was sighted until I was 14.

I remember green.

Well.

That's what the people on the

subway station said they saw.

And when we made a headcount

here, who's missing?

Your man, David Belson.

This green maniac and Belson

must be working together somehow.

TAPE RECORDING:
(VOICEOVER)

...it was a rundown building

in the shadow of the tall...

[rewind squeal of tape]

TAPE RECORDING:

I, I don't know the address. Uh, uh,...

It was a rundown building

in the shadow of the tall...

[dial tone]

[phone dialing]

[phone ringing]

Murdock and Klein.

MATT MURDOCK:
(ON PHONE) Al, Take

the city map down and put it on your desk.

Take the map down?

Al, do it.

Done.

MATT MURDOCK:
(ON SPEAKERPHONE)

Got a ruler?

Got it.

MATT MURDOCK:
(ON SPEAKERPHONE)

Okay, the ruler is the Fisk Tower.

Got it.

MATT MURDOCK:
(ON SPEAKERPHONE)

All right.

Your desk lamp is the morning sun.

Move it into the eastern sky, 8 AM.

Tell me where the shadow falls.

AL PETTIMAN:
Uh. Across 7th

through 14th, near Crocker Avenue.

MATT MURDOCK:
(ON SPEAKERPHONE)

Move it 8 AM to 9 AM.

AL PETTIMAN:
Holman Street, Cobb.

Tell me the mean streets, Al.

The tough part of town.

Uh.

Chandler.

Wentworth.

Part of Carpenter.

Why, Matt?

Thanks, Al.

[footsteps]

Chuck.

[knife clinking]

That's a very noisy knife.

- What the hell do you want?

- Information.

The wrong people see me talking to you,

it's all over for the Turk.

Then be quiet.

Tell me about new people

in the neighborhood.

A man rented a room last Wednesday,

he's back tonight.

5'10, bearded, a hermit,

talks to nobody.

How the hell am I supposed to...

This knife hurts my ears.

[thwang]

Where'd you learn all that stuff?

DAREDEVIL:
Talk to me.

I don't know everybody goes in

and out of the neighborhoods.

There's all kind of places

like that on Chester Street.

My aunt's got a place near Gage,

but... but he ain't there.

But Chaz's is full.

He's bragging about all the rent money

he gets out of his place on Wentworth.

- Wentworth?

- Yeah.

Next to the liquor store on 7th.

Can you teach me

some of them moves?

Don't hurt anybody, Turk.

Be very good.

Read a book.

Wha... I been very mellow lately.

I been a sweetheart.

[music playing]

[gasping]

David Belson.

Don't be afraid.

Matt Murdock sent me for you.

Don't.

I'm not going to hurt you.

Just let me leave.

I can't.

You have help me and Matt.

Come with me now.

Why should I?

You could be one of them.

The ones that are trying to kill me.

I could make you come with me.

No.

No, I wouldn't try that.

Trust me.

All right, I'll trust you.

I'll give you something, and then

you'll come with me on your own.

What could you possibly give me?

My face, David.

I never thought about it before.

How a blind person lives.

I forget about the darkness.

Your darkness.

Nothing on the walls,

no paintings, no mirrors.

Only a...

The boxer?

It's my father.

Good middleweight.

And the award?

Be comfortable.

I'll get you some food.

Then we have to get back out

there. They still have Ellie Mendez.

Tell me, why are these here?

They're all I have left.

My mother died when I was

too young to remember.

My father.

The wrong people gained

control of my father.

He fought back,

and they murdered him.

And that's what you're doing?

Fighting back?

It's not revenge. I don't go

out there to punish anyone.

Why, then?

To protect.

But you're an attorney.

What about the law?

They've corrupted the law.
