Daredevil Recap

Hopefully by now most of you will be sitting down to watch the second season of Daredevil, I on the other hand have to wait on a certain person getting home from his job before I can start watching. So in order to fill my time and maybe fill in some of the blanks you have, I decided to do a recap of season one. A season one SPOILER WARNING is in affect so if you haven't watched it then please do go back and take a look at it.

In April 10th 2015 we got something spectacular, most of us didn't want to see Daredevil on any screen thanks to that movie we got back in 2003. I myself was talked into watching the series but I went into it on a clean slate and had zero expectations. Boy was I wrong.

Episode 1: Into the Ring

In a flashback we see a young Matt Murdock (Skylar Gaertner) saving a man from a car accident, it all goes south though when a batch of chemicals spill and they blind him. In present day Murdock (Charlie Cox), wears a black mask and is fighting four guys who are trying to put some women in a shipping container.

The next morning he awakens to a phone call from Foggy Nelson (Elden Henson) about the law practise that they are both opening, Nelson and Murdock. Foggy goes to visit a childhood friend of his, Officer Mahoney (Royce Johnson) Foggy gives him cigars for his mum as Foggy is on the lookout for some interesting cases and Mahoney eventually agrees to contact him if anything comes up.

Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll) is arrested for murder when she is found holding a bloody knife, and thanks to Officer Mahoney, Foggy and Matt go to the precinct to introduce themselves, Karen states her innocence and Matt believes her after listening to her heartbeat.

James Wesley (Toby Leonard Moore) threatens Officer Clyde Farnum's (J. Tucker Smith) daughter so then he enters Karen Page's cell and tries to kill her but she fights back. Karen is then released into the custody of her lawyers and reveals to them that she discovered some shady financial records from Union Allied Construction, but lies telling them she does not have a copy. When she thinks Matt is asleep she sneaks out to get them.

There is someone waiting in her apartment but before she is killed a masked man shows up and starts fighting with the assassin. The masked man gets the flashdrive and is about to give it to the authorities but Karen convinces him instead to give it to someone he can trust. He decides instead to give it to the people by leaking the story to the New York Bulletin. Karen comes to work for Nelson and Murdock and Weasley reports to some mysterious figure and who tells him to open a file on Nelson and Murdock.

Episode 2: Cut Man

In a flashback we see a young Matt Murdock (before losing his sight) watching his father Battlin' Jack Murdock (John Patrick Hayden) box on television. Matt would stay up and wait on his father coming home, they would talk about the match and Matt would stitch his dad up. 

After the whole chemical eye incident Matt would now stay in the gym as his dad practised, Matt was listening in when he was approached by two thugs, Roscoe Sweeney (Kevin Nagle) wanted Jack to throw the upcoming match. Jack refused but it wasn't until they threatened Matt that Jack agreed to do as they asked. Although on the night of the match Jack actually beat his opponent and was later found dead in an alley. 

Back in present day, Matt heard the screams of a boy who was being abducted by some Russian gangsters. He tried to rescue him but he was beaten really badly. Santino (Moisés Acevedo) finds Matt in a dumpster and tells Claire Temple (Rosario Dawson). Claire takes Matt back to her apartment, she takes care of his wounds and removes his mask, finding out about his blindness. 

In the law office Foggy is on a mission to cheer Karen up. He takes her out to show her that the city is not so scary and they both get very drunk. I do like their chemistry with each other but Karen basically blows it by being all starry eyed about Matt.

Matt won't reveal his identity to Claire so she calls him Mike, but he does reveal his heightened senses when a Russian comes into her building looking for him. She hides "Mike" from the Russian but he grew suspicious. They head to the roof to confront him and end up torturing this guy for information on the kidnapped boys location, when they get it they throw him off the roof into the dumpster we saw Matt in earlier.

Matt then goes to the hideout where they are keeping the boy and faces off against a gang of these thugs. Remember he is recovering from a big beating but even though he can hardly stand he still takes them all out and rescues the kidnapped boy. You can view this scene in the clip below, it was my first wow moment of the show.

Episode 3: Rabbit in a Snowstorm

James Weasley (from episode 1) hires Foggy and Matt to defend John Healy (Alex Morf), an assassin who was hired to kill Prohaszka (Peter Claymore). Healy's gun jammed so he has to get creative by smashing Prohaszka's face with a bowling ball, the police then arrive and Healy surrenders. 

Matt is in a lot of pain from fighting the Russians in the previous episode, Father Lantom (Peter McRobbie) goes over to him, he sees the scars on Matt's face, he wants to help him but Matt is having none of it. In the office Karen hides a letter from Foggy, and Matt lies about his bruises. Lot of lies going on in this office at the moment.

After a meeting with James Wesley, Foggy and Matt go to visit Healy. Foggy doesn't want the case but Matt is curious as to who Wesley's employer is so he convinces Foggy that they need the money. Karen goes to speak to her old employer (Union Allied Construction), they wish for her to sign a NDA for six month pay, she feels cheated by this after all she has been through, so she doesn't sign.

Matt and Foggy appear in court, Matt notices a juror's heartbeat which is heightened when James Wesley appears in court. Later on that night Matt follows her as The Masked Man, turns out she is being blackmailed but he learns a lesson, no matter how many he takes out some of the jury will still be blackmailed.

Ben Ulrich (Vondie Curtis-Hall) tries to tell his editor about a new player who is taking over Hell's Kitchen, but he won't let him tell this story as apparently it won't sell newspapers. We also find out that Ben's wife is in the hospital suffering from a long term illness. 

Back in court Matt is fighting Healy's case, they return to the verdict with a hung jury, meaning that Healy is free to go. Later that night The Mask catches up to Healy, they both fight, The Masked Man gets the advantage though and pins Healy down. 

He gets Healy to name the mysterious man he is working for, Healy gives the name Wilson Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio) and commits suicide. We then return to Fisk, turns out he is in an art gallery staring intently at a very white painting. Vanessa Marianna (Ayelet Zurer) walks up to him and they both discuss the painting.

Episode 4: In the Blood

Eight years previously Anatoly (Gideon Emery) and Vladimir Ranskahov (Nikolai Nikolaeff) were in Utkin Prison, They both used weapons, recycled from Vladimir's old cell mates bones, in order to escape and decided to go to New York instead of going back to Moscow. 

In present day Matt is being stitched up by Claire, and he gives her a phone so he can contact her beforehand instead of just appearing at her apartment. Ben is trying to convince Karen to stop going after her old employer (UAC), but in the end he decided the best way to keep her safe is to actually go after them with her. 

Fisk goes back to the Art Gallery to ask Vanessa out on a date, she actually accepts. Wesley gives Fisk's proposal to Anatoly and Vladimir, Fisks gets the assets from Prohaszka's murder (last episode) and Fisk will deal with this masked man. Anatoly seems as though he thinks this is a good idea but Vladimir does not want to do this deal. 

The two brothers decide that they can take out the masked man themselves and awaken the Russian (from episode two who is thrown into the dumpster) from a coma. When he wakes up he tells them about Claire's apartment, they head over there to find it empty but they make Santino tell them where to find her.

Matt then receives a phone call from a screaming Claire, he rushes and finds her in a garage owned by Vele's taxis. Matt as the man in black fights off the Russians and eventually frees Claire, who hits her attacker with a baseball bat. 

Anatoly goes to see Fisk, only problem is he is right in the middle of his date with Rebecca. This makes Rebecca tell Fisk that she regrets her decision to go out with him. Fisk then takes all of his anger out on Anatoly, and in the craziest moment ever he keeps smashing Anatoly's head with a door until it comes off. Wesley states that this action will cause a war, Fisk states that he hopes it will.

Matt and Claire have a little bonding moment, she tells him that Hell's Kitchen needs him and he tells her that his name is Matt.

Episode 5: World on Fire

In this episode Fisk and Wesley met with Madam Gao (Wai Ching Ho), Nobu (Peter Shinkoda) and Leland Owlsley while the car used in the last episode was cleaned of blood and brains. He tells them that the Ranskahov Brothers are no longer part of the organisation. Gao is not pleased by this and it takes Fisk some time to appease her. 

Matt is tending to Claire's wounds for a change, Claire has fallen in love with Matt but can't be with someone who has so little disregard for his life. The Russians mistakenly kill on of Madame Gao's workers, they think he is the man in the black mask and Piotr (Paul Mann) gets arrested for it. 

Karen and Foggy get a new client at the law office, Elena Cardenas (Judith Delgado) who Armand Tully is trying to evict from her apartment. Vladimir is brought the headless body of his brother which has a black mask conveniently in his pocket. Matt goes to the precinct to talk to Brett Mahoney about the case, he overhears two detectives, Christian Blake (Chris Tardio) and Carl Hoffman (Daryl Edwards) killing Piotr because he mentioned Fisk's name.

The Man in the Black Mask later approaches Blake, he asks him for Fisk's location, Blake tells him that he is wanted for the murder of Anatoly but Matt steals his phone. Foggy and Karen go to see the lawyers representing Tully, this turns out to be Foggy's ex girlfriend Marci (Amy Rutberg). Foggy argues the legality of Tully's actions and both Karen and Marci seem to be really impressed by this confident Foggy.

Foggy and Karen go to Mrs Cardenas apartment to help her out and to fix it up a bit. The two of them are thanked by Mrs C with a date which is sweet. An explosion occurs in the building, Foggy leaves Karen to guard Mrs C as he checks the residents of the building. 

Turk Barrett tells the Russians that he believes that the masked man is actually working for Fisk, this now means war. Fisk and Vanessa are on another date (let's hope this one goes a bit better than the last), she is carrying a gun in her purse and Fisk quizzes her as to why she has it. He tells her that he wants to reshape Hell's Kitchen, making it better for it's residents, and by his side is the safest place she could be. 

Explosions can be seen from the restaurant, and Vanessa is then completely convinced by his plan. The Masked Man is near the explosions and fighting Vladimir. As they fight the police arrive and surround them, the last thing we see is Matt holding up his arms and the police close in.  

Episode 6: Condemned

The Police attempt to take out The Masked Man but he swiftly overpowers the officers, Vladimir is shot during this. Our two most hated Detectives (Blake and Hoffman) appear again in this episode torturing a Russian gang member to find out the location of Vladimir, he then shoots this guy and orders the officers to shoot anyone from Vladimir's gang.

The Masked Man has Vladimir and he takes him to a warehouse, when Vladimir wakes up he is angry and wants to kill Matt but he tries to assure him that he did not kill Anatoly and that Vladimir is being played by Fisk. Vladimir is bleeding out due to the gunshot wound, Matt calls Claire who talks her through the process of saving him, until she finds out it's Vladimir then she hesitates. 

A Police Officer named Sullivan (Matthew Blumm) patrolling the area hears Vladimir's screams as Matt is trying to cauterise the wound. The Masked Man tries to determine whether this officer is working for Fisk, turns out he is not and instead of calling off his back up he tells them the location they are at and then is knocked out.

Blake and Hoffman surround the warehouse just as Ben Ulrich arrives looking for information. Sullivan is then handcuffed to a pole and his gun is taken apart by The Masked Man, which Vladimir seems unhappy about. Vladimir also seems interested in The Masked Mans code, he asks him why he does not kill. Vladimir then tells him about his history with Fisk, he then says he will reveal Fisk's money man but as The Masked Man leans in Vladimir attacks sending them both down several floorboards.

Vladimir states that it was fun to see the Masked Man bleed and slips back into unconsciousness. The Masked Man performs CPR on Vladimir bringing him back from the brink. Fisk contacts Matt on the radio, they discuss each other's motives and Fisk gives him a choice. Kill Vladimir and escape or be brandished a criminal who is responsible for all the ongoing violence. The Masked Man turns this offer down.

A police sniper is set up in the opposite building, he shoots Blake (who was arguing with Urich) and two other officers, this is blamed on the Masked Man. S.W.A.T team storms the building, but The Masked Man and Vladimir find a manhole, Vladimir actually helps him escape. Officer Sullivan who was handcuffed to a pole is shocked to hear an officer report that he is dead, that is until he is stabbed in the neck.

S.W.A.T officers follow The Masked Man and Vladimir into the sewers. They are overpowered by the Masked Man and Vladimir takes on of there guns and aims it at the Masked Man. Matt tries to get him to join his side against Fisk, Vladimir states that the only way to stop Fisk was to kill him, then he chooses to stay behind and fight as The Masked Man escapes. He then does reveal who Fisk's money man is, telling Matt that he has to find Leland Owlsley (Bob Gunton). As The Masked Man leaves Vladimir sings an old Russian song until he is killed. 

Episode 7: Stick

Matt stops the arrow Stick has aimed at the Black Sky and begins fighting Nobu's men. The Black Sky and Stick then disappear. 

Stick is in Matt's apartment, Matt wants an explanation as to why Stick broke his promise not to kill. Stick tells him that The Black Sky was not a child and had to be killed, this leads them both to start fighting. The apartment gets beaten up a bit too but Matt wins the fight telling Stick to leave his city. Stick leaves and reports to an unknown party, he tells him that the job is done and that he doesn't know if Matt will be ready.

The press has called the Masked Man, Daredevil. Foggy, Karen and Matt all celebrate as the sign is put up outside the office. Fisk is rotting in a cell staring at his wall while Daredevil patrols the streets at night.

Thoughts

It may not look it but this whole thing took me about ten hours to finish, so much information. I have gotten to watch the first five episodes of season two and I am enjoying it so far. As for season one, while rewatching and going through everything I now have a better appreciation for this season, Fisk/Kingpin has got to be one of my favourite Marvel villains and is better than Killgrave (he was great but not as good as Kingpin, if you don't believe me go and rewatch season one of Daredevil). 

The action is great, the story is great, the villain is unpredictable, and the characters are well flushed out. I was shocked when Ben Ulrich dies, I am not a big comic book reader so it wasn't because of that, it was more because I really liked the character and thought he would be a great addition to the team. 

So what do you think about season 1? Have you had season 2 spoiled for you yet? Do you not care about Daredevil? Then please comment to your heart's content below.
