Elektra returns to her
apartment, where she finds several guys waiting to ambush her there. Elektra
stylishly and efficiently kills her four attackers, throwing the last guy out
of the window. In the wake of her victory, she finds a note from the Kingpin,
seeking to discuss employment opportunities for her. Meanwhile, some time
later, Daredevil bounds his way through the city, reveling in the full use of
his returned radar sense. He heads back to the swanky new office he shares with
Foggy, where the two of them, along with J. Jonah Jameson, have a meeting with
a young man named Sheldon. Sheldon got ahold of some checks that the Kingpin
wrote to Randolph Cherryh’s campaign, proving their connection. Just then, some
of the Kingpin’s guys arrive with clear ill intentions for Sheldon. Matt feigns
disorientation in their new office, scattering papers everywhere and allowing
himself to slip away and switch to Daredevil. Sheldon also slips away and
Daredevil catches up to him right outside the building, where he’s able to
scare the Kingpin’s men off, though Sheldon runs off once more.
The next day, Foggy goes
to hire Luke Cage and Iron Fist to act as Matt’s bodyguards, fearing for his
safety after the previous day’s events. He passes an annoyed Jeryn Hogarth,
Luke and Danny’s boss, who advises them to take a paying case to justify the
office he set up for them. They reluctantly take Foggy’s job. That night, the
Kingpin’s men return to the Nelson and Murdock law office to find Matt alone.
Matt has covertly set up recording equipment, hoping to record them admitting
the connection between their boss and Cherryh. However, just then, Foggy
arrives at the office with Luke Cage and Iron Fist, who quickly deal with the
goons. However, the tape Matt was using to record them gets smashed in the
process, leaving him frustrated with Luke and Danny’s involvement.
That evening, Luke and
Iron Fist escort Matt to the courthouse where they discover the prosecutor
arguing against him is none other than their boss, Jeryn Hogarth. Matt
continues to feel annoyed at their involvement, knowing they mean well, but
desperately needing to slip away to become Daredevil. He’s able to escape down
a fortunately empty elevator shaft, though his sudden disappearance leads Luke
and IF to think he’s been kidnapped. They ransack Randolph Cherryh’s office and
interrogate him about Matt’s whereabouts, yielding no results. After they head
out, Cherryh receives a call from Sheldon, setting up an exchange at the big
parade occurring the next day, wanting jewels for the checks he has. This is
overheard by Daredevil, perched just outside, who promises to be watching out
for Cherryh at the parade.
The next afternoon,
everyone is watching out for everyone else at the parade; Matt’s looking for
Cherryh, Luke and Danny for Matt, and Turk for Sheldon. Matt locates Sheldon
making the exchange with Cherryh, when a kid grabs the bags of jewels as the
hand-off is being made. This leads to a big chase, as Sheldon runs after the
kid, and Turk and Grotto run after Sheldon. Luke and Iron Fist spot Matt, to
his chagrin, forcing him to duck into an alley to switch to Daredevil. Iron
Fist wants answers on what’s going on, leading to a little sparring match
between himself and Daredevil. Meanwhile, Turk and Grotto chase Sheldon onto
one of the giant balloons, and Daredevil slips away from Iron Fist, jumping
onto the balloon himself and knocking Sheldon into the air. Luke catches
Sheldon, glad he finally got to do something, and Sheldon reveals that he was
only trying to help his sister. She’s an aspiring dancer but needs an operation
to fix her legs, and he thought he could use the checks to make enough money to
pay for it. They agree to help him and Daredevil asks for the checks, which is
when Sheldon realizes that they must have gotten carried away by the wind, lost
in all the ticker tape!
Late that night, Elektra
sneaks into a certain skyscraper, killing the guards and making it to the top
floor. There, she is confronted by the Kingpin, who tells her they have much to
discuss!
