Okay, 0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:50.080 episode one of Daredevil Born Again. We open in Hell's kitchen. 0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:54.480 It's been some years since we last saw our friends, 0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:57.480 and they look great. They look out, they look. 0:01:59.480 --> 0:01:59.840 Yeah. 0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:03.520 They are leaving Nelson Murdock and Page Fogg. He's got 0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:05.120 a great new haircut. 0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:06.480 He looks finally good. 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:10.720 Finally they're discussing all the changes. 0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:12.080 That have been going on in the neighborhood. 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:16.960 We discover that there's kind of a crisis of personnel 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:21.200 power over at the NYPD. We're a large percentage of 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:24.959 the forces set to retire soon and they are currently 0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:28.400 heading to a retirement party for Detective Cherry at a 0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:32.120 local bar where we meet some other casts cast some 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:35.679 of the other caster characters from the show, Detective Kim etc. 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:42.600 Matt's future law partner Kristen McDuffie changes generally in the air. 0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:46.120 We also learned that vigilantes are very hot at the moment, 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:48.079 White Tiger is out in the streets, and of course 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:51.400 Spider Man and others. We see that Matt and Karen 0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:55.400 have big chemistry at this particular party. 0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:57.920 But Matt's trying to be like, we should keep it friends. 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:01.440 I don't know, but there's definitely but it's that it 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:04.280 literally says to him, let's get out of here, and 0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:07.720 he's like, oh, that might break the friend code, like 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:12.200 but that basically things are going great, and immediately the 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:16.720 show kind of warms you into this like fun, celebratory 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:20.120 space where it really does feel like changes on the 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:23.680 edge for New York, and it seems like Nelson, Murdock 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:26.240 and Page are a big part of it. 0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:31.519 Foggy is flirting with McDuffie when he gets a call, 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:33.760 which of course Matt fucking listens to. 0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:37.760 And this, I swear to god, this man has never, ever, ever, 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:42.000 ever allowed somebody to have privacy in that entire life. 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:46.440 It was it worked out kind of but still. 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:53.600 Because actually a little bit late this time, so it's 0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:57.320 tense and maybe that's what draws Matt's attention. Something has 0:03:57.400 --> 0:04:01.840 happened in Red Hook. This that Foggy is talking to Benny. 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:06.200 People are outside of his apartment and they're they're coming 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:09.160 for him, and Foggy is telling him, Okay, you know, 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:13.920 wait there, I'm gonna come over. Foggy apparently kept this 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:17.599 from Matt. He tells him to keep him from getting 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:24.120 involved in basically becoming garrettevil all again. Matt whatever overhearing this, goes, 0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:27.920 puts on the suit and rushes to, you know, back 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:31.719 to the bar. He hears the sound of like a rifle. 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:36.039 He hears a rifle somewhere. It is Bullseye. Bullseye shoots 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:40.160 Foggy outside of the bar and all hell breaks. He's 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:44.080 shooting other people outside of the bar. He swings down, 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:47.120 he throws smoke grenades into the bar. He's about to 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:49.520 kill Karen, who's pulling out a gun. She's got a 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:51.840 concealed carry permit apparently in New York City, which just 0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:55.960 getting hurt again by the way, And just as she 0:04:56.560 --> 0:05:01.360 is about to you know, engage with Bullseye, Matt swings 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:05.520 in and we get a huge fight scene in the bar, 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:09.920 people running back and forth, Cherry and Kim call the 0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:13.400 police and they're helping people evacuate. All this is happening while. 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:16.720 Just lots of people and also. 0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:20.239 Killing, stabbing, like throwing knives into people's necks. 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:22.839 I say, if you are. 0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:26.839 An injured Matt Murdoch lover, and I know you're out 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:29.120 there girls. I know you're out there boys. I know 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:32.000 that people love to see Matt Murdoch fighting his way 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:34.240 through a dangerous injury and looking. 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:37.120 Very sad about it. He is riddled with blades. 0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:42.240 Here, I think is pretty good. It doesn't all the 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:43.520 way through, but yeah, it looks bad. 0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:47.000 It's a great comic book moment where you kind of 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:50.240 realize again, like this man is just human. It's just 0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:52.920 his willpower and a great armor and of course his 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:56.919 secret superheroic blindness non blindness. 0:05:57.279 --> 0:05:59.679 But I love this fight with Bullseye. 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:03.040 It immediately just throws you straight back into the best 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:04.520 of what Dad Evil was. 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:06.200 And they do not. 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:10.160 It is such a great opening to this episode. But 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:14.040 Matt is really concerned with fighting Bullseye and not necessarily 0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:16.160 concerned with like his best friend being shot. 0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:19.400 Well, he's got to get give this guy's a psychopathic killer. 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:22.640 He's got to get him off the streets, and the 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:26.120 fight goes to the roof. They basically limp to the roof. 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:28.560 Both guys are absolutely spent by the time they get 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:28.920 up there. 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:31.320 Love the Matt. 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:34.200 Beats Bullseye and then is hanging him off the roof 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:38.120 as he hears Foggy basically take his last breaths. Bullseye 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:41.000 laughs about it, thinks it's hilarious. So Matt drops him 0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:43.200 off the roof onto his face. And yet the guy, 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:46.320 and yet, much to Rosie's delight, he lives. 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:52.960 My sweet assassin son. Never know. He's a terrible, terrible, terrible, 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:58.599 terribly murderer. But I think that the season three representation 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:01.839 of him, as you can, it's for the best talk 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:02.480 about it. 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:08.359 He's so engaging and interesting and intriguing and such a 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:11.440 great foil for Matt that I felt like, Okay, if 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:16.920 we lose Foggy and Ben in the first like five minutes, 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:20.560 then are they just doing these people coming back? Was 0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:23.080 that just stunt casting? Is it actually going to play 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:26.440 into the rest of the series. But he somehow survives 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:29.120 being thrown onto his face, insane because it was like 0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:33.600 a really gnary like ten story fall. Yes, I am 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:37.800 happy he survived for the story. Sadly, Foggy did not. 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:43.120 Foggy Shockingly, Foggy is gone. He's gone the first eight 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:46.360 minutes of the show. He got a nice trim too, 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:50.960 he looked great track game. Matt drops the Daredevil mask 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:54.480 and we go right and see the opening credits. 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:58.640 Fast new opening credits, new marble kind of characters. 0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:00.800 They're made out of stone rather. 0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:04.400 Than the famous kind of blood wax motif from the 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:07.600 first season. Gets see all your favor characters Wilson, etc. 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:09.640 And then boom, time jump. 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:12.240 One year later, New York City is in the midst 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:15.360 of a mayoral election. There's been a recalling. Now it's 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:19.520 just like an open run to the Mayor's office. Man 0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:22.960 is getting ready for work at his new firm, McDuffie 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:29.240 and Murdoch. Meanwhile, Wilson Fisk the Kingpin, is eating a healthy, 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:35.360 healthy portion breakfast in his mansion. Elsewhere at a meeting 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:39.520 of the various mobs, presided over by Vanessa, who is 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:44.160 wearing all Kingpin white. And you see that Vanessa is 0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:49.200 basically like the referee, kind of like the CEO of 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:53.600 the Mafia families, making sure that everybody is getting paid, 0:08:53.800 --> 0:09:00.440 and that territory disputes are being adjudicated without violence. The room. 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:04.040 By the way, there's the famous painting by Ilia Repin 0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:07.559 of Ivan the terrible cradling son who he had just murdered. 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:08.520 Love that. 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:12.480 I love that moment because it really also evokes just 0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:15.560 what we've seen with the Devil and Bullseye. There's a 0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:18.120 lot to it. I love them bringing the art side 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:21.959 of Vanessa in. Also, I love that this rumor was true. 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:25.040 I love that what she's that she really is running 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:27.520 these gangs like and I also love like you said, 0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:30.280 she's running them like a CEO, and that is going 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:34.880 to become very important as the series goes on. 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:35.400 For sure. 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:39.319 Wilson arrives, the gangsters are like, let's give them some privacy. 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:42.480 Wilson is like, I'm very impressed with your management of 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:45.559 the gangs. By the way, I love you still. I'm 0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:51.360 the biggest wife guy around. I will stick around, you know, 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:53.360 as long as you want me around. 0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:56.360 But he also has been she hasn't really seen him 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:57.600 for a while. It sounds she. 0:09:57.559 --> 0:09:59.320 Hasn't seen him in a couple of years and know 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:01.480 what he was doing when he was out with Echo. 0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:03.360 She didn't know what he was doing when he was 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:06.680 recovering from the last time face. 0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:09.679 The last time she really saw him was when he 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:12.960 was in the hospital, and it was either four when 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:15.400 Echo shot him in the face or when he got 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:18.560 his ass thoroughly beat at the end of Hawkeye. One 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:22.719 of those times, she was at his hospital bed and 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:25.120 he's like, you know, I love you so much and 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:28.520 I really believe that together, like we can change New 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:29.520 York City for the better. 0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:30.520 We can make your grade again. 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:31.920 And he's like, by the way, I'm. 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:32.520 Running for mayor. 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:34.280 I think I I think I can win. We do 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:35.760 some research into I think. 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:39.880 But he's also like he he also says very importantly 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:42.240 because I think this is a huge choice that they made. 0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:44.400 That moves this away from the comics a little bit 0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:47.640 is he immediately says that you can keep. 0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:50.600 Doing the crosses, you do the crime, I'll do it proof. 0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:54.040 That's right. So it has to be a complete Chinese 0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:58.319 wall between the two, like no, no barrier. The barrier 0:10:58.360 --> 0:10:59.040 must be very. 0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:00.839 Strong between the two. And he said, hey, I've made 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:02.800 it bulletproof. There's nothing they can catch me out on. 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:05.080 But this is a huge deal because we were kind 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:06.920 of wondering if it would be more of a mystery 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:09.320 whether Wilson had really changed, or if they'd try and 0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:11.640 play into that idea that he had. I think it's 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:13.720 really smart to do this because we know who Wilson 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:16.520 Fisk is. And also I think it sets up a 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:19.960 potential conflict for Wilson and Vanessa in the future if 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:22.440 he does start to really believe his own rehetoric about, 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:25.120 you know, making New York great again and Fisk can 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:25.640 fix it. 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:29.640 We see some video footage from the bb Report, which 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:36.199 is a video news series kind of like a street 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:41.280 level view of New Yorker's takes on various topics, and 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:46.520 it's produced by Ben's daughter, excuse me, Ben's niece, bb Urick. 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:50.840 And these are intercut all throughout the series. And are these, 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:54.760 you know, really cool like chapter dividers where you kind 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:57.600 of get the feel for what New York is feeling. 0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:00.680 And I think this is one of the smartest storytelling 0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:03.439 devices that they put into the show to really ground 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:05.199 this in New York and make you feel like, oh, 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:10.520 I understand, like what what the temperature of the city is, 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:16.199 because this is a city. Listen Chaitari Invasion, Fanos invasion 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:20.200 that was upstate, but still you know, the Hope destoring 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:27.840 Harlem people getting snapped, the Infinity Hawkey running around, the 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:31.440 Infinity War fight. Like shit is going like haywire in 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:34.000 New York City like all the time. So it's no 0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:38.440 surprise that the citizens of the city are kind of like, hey, 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:41.080 what's going on, Like we can stop this. 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:42.400 Yeah. 0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:46.120 Matt meets with his partner, ex assistant Da Kristin McDuffie 0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:49.680 at their law offices. He is getting ready to testify 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:53.080 at Bullseye sentencing, and of course Christen is worried that 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:55.880 like it's very traumatic and you can be okay, and 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:59.680 he's like, yeah, I'm fine, totally, he says. He goes 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:02.280 to the sentencing and at the sentencing he basically says, listen, 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:07.440 whatever you whatever you throw at dex it is not 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:11.280 enough because of what he has taken from the world, 0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:16.000 my good friend, you know, my law partner of the 0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:19.800 wonderful human being known as Foggy. We see Karen enter 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:21.800 the courtroom from the back. Oh, she's just standing and 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:25.000 she looks fiss. She looks furious. It's clear that they 0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:28.680 haven't seen each other in a while. He asks Matt 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:31.640 asks the court to throw the book at Decks, and 0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:34.120 Dex does indeed get multiple life sentences. 0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:36.040 I got to ask your question here, though, does he 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:41.840 go to get out? Does he want? Does does New 0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:45.880 York have the death penalty? No? Okay, that I was 0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:48.920 interested in Matt's reaction because even. 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:54.679 When Dex gets the life sentences, Matt looks like angry, 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:57.880 and I wonder if that's because he just can't fulfill, 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:00.760 like it's still not going to ff fill the whole 0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:01.680 that Foggy leaps. 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:02.959 Because I was like, did he want him to get 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:05.200 the death sentence? Doesn't seem very catholic of him? Does 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:07.880 New York have it? There was something like a loss 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:08.959 that he felt. 0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:12.560 Well, I will say that I think that I agree 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:15.520 with you that there was a conflict there in Matt. 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:18.920 But I think what's so wonderful about Daredevil, the show, 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:21.400 and what they're really blowing out here, at least to 0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:25.800 me thus far, is the catholicness, which is that conflict. 0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:27.920 Matt wants to do the right thing, but he also 0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:29.560 wants to fucking kill this guy, and he wants to 0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:32.600 see him by, and he wants to fight crime, but 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:34.360 he wants to do it legally, but he does it 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:37.600 illegally every night, like, so he's got these incredible conflicts 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:41.360 going on inside of him. Karen and Matt catch up 0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:45.920 and obviously very tough day. She's living in San Francisco 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:49.920 now she has been avoiding Matt's calls. 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:53.560 This is a great scene, really really good, and also. 0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:56.960 It tells us so much about how Foggy was the 0:14:57.000 --> 0:15:01.600 glue that helped them together because he died. Karen says, Matt, 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:04.360 you just ignored me for like months, so I had 0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:04.760 to leave. 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:05.920 There was nothing I could do. 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:11.880 And it's just such a good scene without really any exposition. 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:14.720 It's much more of an emotional scene that tells you 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:16.000 where these characters are at. 0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:18.840 And it's very interesting because Matt. 0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:21.640 Has almost like it feels like he's left Karen behind 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:24.520 and now he's this super really successful lawyer. 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:27.480 His law office is a fancy as far really nice. 0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:30.080 He's with Krista McDuffie, who seems great like as a 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:34.200 law partner, and you know, yeah he's not on the street, 0:15:34.440 --> 0:15:37.400 but at what costs because Karen is probably the only 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:40.920 person who really understands him and what he lost with Foggy. 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:44.440 So he is he basically tells Karen, listen, I'm not 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:47.120 that guy anymore. I'm not Daredevil anymore. I'm not ever 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:51.480 doing that again. And she leaves. He doesn't want her 0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:53.480 to leave, but she leaves, and she leaves him like 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:56.240 a little broken off piece of his like devil horn mask. 0:15:56.920 --> 0:16:00.320 That night, as Matt is making dinner, he hears just 0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:03.520 on TVs and radios around the neighborhood that Fisk has 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:08.680 announced as Kennedy's for mayor. At Fisk headquarters, the energy 0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:13.000 is amazing. The slogan is Fisk can fix it. We 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:16.080 meet his staff, Buck Cashman aka Bullet from the comics, 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:18.400 which is not how I expected to get this. 0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:22.840 I'm saying this whole thing is so funny because they 0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:25.360 could go the MCU route of these are just names 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:27.960 that don't mean anything, but it's so fun to see 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:29.320 who they chose and whatnot. 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:33.760 They chose all comics people. Yeah, Sheila Rivera, who is 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:38.560 his campaign manager, and an energetic and very dedicated young 0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:40.240 staffer named Dan Blake. 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:44.280 Who is in the comics like uh an Astronaut slash Martian, 0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:46.760 which were obviously not getting here, but a big deal 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:49.440 that I also visit Alien though, how cool would that be. 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:52.840 I just want to say, like, maybe it could happen. Yeah, possible, 0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:53.480 It's possible. 0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:55.480 But also I want to say, I think this is 0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:59.000 very brave choice of them to not go the obvious route, 0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:01.680 which everyone thought my called Gandefini would be playing young 0:17:01.760 --> 0:17:06.359 Wilson Fisk, and I love that they instead went to 0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:10.399 make him the kind of social media kind of young 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:18.160 right wing drinking an energy Jed liked it really hits. 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:22.200 Rogan listening, Sean Ryan, that podcast listening kind of guy. 0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:25.480 And I think that they they couldn't have seen just 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:28.360 how prescient that would feel right now in twenty twenty five. 0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:30.000 But it was like a gut punch. 0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:32.000 I was like, oh, okay, this feels like a good 0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:33.119 character yesterday. 0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:33.880 It's a great. 0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:38.600 Character, and it's much more interesting than the kind of 0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:40.240 idea that people he was just going to play young 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:42.920 Wilson Facer. So I'm very happy with this, very interested 0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:44.119 to see where that character goes. 0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:49.240 Matt gets set up with a prospective client by Kristin McDuffie, 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:53.000 a woman by the name of Heather Glenn, and he 0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:57.320 meets her at a coffee shop. But then we realized 0:17:57.359 --> 0:18:02.520 that actually Kirstin had set Matt up and Heather up, 0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:06.480 like as a matchmaker, and the Heather is a therapist, 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:11.160 not a potential client. And Kirsten definitely thinks the two 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:13.359 would hit it off and that they should date, and 0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:15.320 both of them are like, I can't believe she did 0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:18.199 this. This is fucking terrible, how annoying, Like I'm sorry, I'll 0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:20.280 pick up your coffee, like I'm sorry to waste sure, and 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:22.720 then like immediately after that they began hitting it off, 0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:23.879 like immediately after that. 0:18:24.119 --> 0:18:27.440 Because what's one truth about dad evil that they get 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:31.960 right in this show, Jason, The ladies love Matt. 0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:36.560 The ladies absolutely fall for Matt Murdoch. And not only that, 0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:41.919 Matt he knows when that post quickens, like, oh baby, 0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:49.560 all the time, everything I got him, got him. He's 0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:54.879 like she said to me back at the office, Matt 0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:57.680 is like, what are you doing to Kirsten, Like, don't 0:18:57.680 --> 0:18:59.800 do that, but also, yeah, we hit it off. 0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:01.080 Then give me a number. 0:19:01.160 --> 0:19:05.040 He meets with a detective former Detective Cherry, who is 0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:07.880 now working as an investigator for McDuffie and Murdoch. 0:19:08.520 --> 0:19:11.160 Cherry says he had. 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:14.439 Apparently been looking into the Fisk campaign. For Matt and 0:19:14.560 --> 0:19:17.879 probably for his own interest, and he says, like, no, 0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:20.679 it's completely clean on the up and up, like money 0:19:20.800 --> 0:19:24.720 is all accounted for. There's nothing there, Okay, so let 0:19:24.760 --> 0:19:26.840 it go. They both decide, Okay, we're gonna let it go, 0:19:27.040 --> 0:19:29.920 and like this is when fighting Wilson Fisk is not 0:19:30.160 --> 0:19:35.240 what we do anymore. And he's running. It's clean, it's clean. 0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:37.320 It's up to the it's up to the citizens of 0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:39.600 New York now to decide whether they want to vote 0:19:39.640 --> 0:19:42.840 for this guy. At night, Matt listens as the city 0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:47.080 watches Fisk in the mayoral debate. Fisk is running on 0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:52.040 in part of a platform that says, we're going to 0:19:52.080 --> 0:19:54.000 bring law back to law and order back to New 0:19:54.080 --> 0:19:57.200 York City, and that means no more vigilantes, vigil antes. 0:19:57.240 --> 0:19:59.080 We're going to crack down on the White Tigers and 0:19:59.119 --> 0:20:00.560 the daredevils on this spider man. 0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:03.840 I gotta say, that's what we were right. You can 0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:05.080 ring that we were right, Bell. 0:20:05.000 --> 0:20:07.280 Because that is exactly what you predicted when we were 0:20:07.320 --> 0:20:07.840 watching Dad. 0:20:07.840 --> 0:20:10.920 Obviously, when we were doing our recaps, and I think. 0:20:11.080 --> 0:20:16.639 That I was surprised by how much I could feel 0:20:16.720 --> 0:20:20.160 the impact. It was already having like, Yeah, when Wilson 0:20:20.160 --> 0:20:22.720 Fisk says it, you start to believe, Okay, this is 0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:26.520 a world where by the end of this season, vigilantes 0:20:26.560 --> 0:20:30.000 are not something that is normal, he says, or superheroes 0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:31.320 are not something that's normal. 0:20:31.359 --> 0:20:31.560 Yeah. 0:20:31.600 --> 0:20:35.560 He says something that I think is very I thought 0:20:35.800 --> 0:20:40.400 was really cutting and could be important for the MC 0:20:40.600 --> 0:20:43.760 going forward, which is, you know, we've we've tried registration. 0:20:43.920 --> 0:20:47.760 I'm not doing registration. I'm doing like solutions or whatever. 0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:50.160 It is, like, I'm not looking for I'm not looking 0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:54.320 to register vigilantes. He's basically looking to stop wipe them out. 0:20:54.440 --> 0:20:56.639 Yeah, and he's he can do it because he's like, 0:20:56.880 --> 0:20:59.720 I had an incident with a vigilante. Yeah, you're right, 0:20:59.800 --> 0:21:02.000 I was shot assassin. 0:21:02.400 --> 0:21:05.320 Okayitch Like, come on, give me a fucking break, give 0:21:05.359 --> 0:21:09.680 me a bucket break. Matt basically goes to Fisk's headquarters 0:21:09.680 --> 0:21:11.760 and meets him outside, is like, let's go have a chat. 0:21:11.840 --> 0:21:18.600 They're like, okay, Kingpin. It's actually quite warm. Considering the 0:21:18.680 --> 0:21:23.240 history of the past interactions between the two. Kingpin mentions, 0:21:23.359 --> 0:21:25.760 you know, I tried to mentor someone but it didn't 0:21:25.760 --> 0:21:26.200 work out. 0:21:26.320 --> 0:21:30.480 It's Echo who shot him in the face. She shot 0:21:30.560 --> 0:21:31.480 in the face. Is that right? 0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:31.760 Yeah? 0:21:31.840 --> 0:21:36.040 Like, and Fisk's like, oh, you've been keeping tabs on me, Like, yeah, 0:21:36.080 --> 0:21:37.040 you know, like I read the news. 0:21:37.080 --> 0:21:39.600 I also love He goes, he goes the younger generation, 0:21:40.000 --> 0:21:41.040 what are you gonna do with them? 0:21:41.200 --> 0:21:43.520 Yeah? What are you gonna do? Correct? 0:21:43.840 --> 0:21:46.280 Kingpin notes that they've both come up in the world. 0:21:46.400 --> 0:21:50.280
