== Synopsis ==
Missing for months, Matt Murdock reemerges a broken man, putting into question his future as both vigilante Daredevil and lawyer Matthew Murdock. But when his archenemy Wilson Fisk is released from prison, Matt must choose between hiding from the world or embracing his destiny as a hero.
== Plot ==
Matt Murdock wakes up in Saint Agnes Orphanage after nearly dying in the Destruction of Midland Circle. He is comforted by Maggie Grace, but panics as his senses are gone. As months pass by, Murdock keeps the truth about being alive to Foggy Nelson and Karen Page. Murdock, now a broken down man, finally gets his senses back and tries to fight crime again as the Man in the Mask. However, he is rusty and loses, as he's on his knees, he pleads the thugs to kill him, but they run when they hear the cops. Meanwhile, FBI Agent Ray Nadeem asks for a raise from SAC Tammy Hattley as his income is terrible, but she declines it. He goes on his weekly trip to get information from Wilson Fisk. Fisk only offers to speak if they keep Vanessa Marianna safe.
Murdock returns back to the church and is given a lecture by Sister Grace. He talks to her about how he has lost his faith and that he only has Daredevil left. Fisk works out in the prison gym, but suddenly gets shanked by Jasper Evans. He requests immediate release if he is going to keep giving information to the FBI because it makes him a target. The FBI agree to keep him imprisoned, but not in jail, in the Presidential Hotel. However, on the way there, his van gets attacked by Albanians. Fisk is saved by Agent Benjamin Poindexter. After hearing of Fisk's release, Murdock believes that people can't really change, just like Frank Castle said. He sees Nelson at a bar revealing he is alive. He informs the surprised Nelson that he isn't going back to his old life. He then leaves having stolen Nelson's wallet to get ID into Ryker's Island.
Murdock goes to see a prisoner named Malik Saini. Saini punches Murdock and tells the guards, who are paid by Fisk, that he doesn't say anything. Murdock is forced by the guards to get a concussion test. However, he is attacked by all of the guards and prisoners. He manages to get out with the help of the Albanians, who also hate Fisk. The Albanians tell Murdock that Evans, the man who shanked Fisk, was paid by Fisk and is now out of jail. He then passes out in the taxi. When he wakes up, he finds himself being driven over the edge of the road and into the river.
Poindexter goes about his day, stalking a woman named Julie Barnes whom he had worked with previously. Murdock returns to his home and changes clothes, but has to escape when Nadeem arrives to arrest him for his actions at Ryker's. Nadeem finds Murdock's wet clothes and decides to pursue Page and Nelson as well. Meanwhile, Fisk asks his lawyer, Benjamin Donovan, for information on Poindexter. Donovan returns with recordings of psych meetings from Poindexter's childhood. Nelson, who doesn't like District Attorney Blake Tower, is convinced by Marci Stahl to start making a campaign to run for the position. Poindexter goes to Barnes' restaurant and mentions how he remembers her from their prior work. They talk for a while, but he accidentally reveals creepy information about her which causes her to run away. Poindexter returns to his apartment and freaks out, almost shooting himself, throwing objects, and throwing a knife at a picture of Barnes. He calms himself down by listening to recordings of the psych sessions.
Fisk opens up to Poindexter about his past in order to gain the Agent's trust. Poindexter joins him. Page also finds out about Evans and goes to see him to expose Fisk. There, she is attacked, but saved by Daredevil. Page tells him to turn himself over to the FBI so that Page and Nelson are safe, Murdock accepts. Nelson, Murdock, and Page bring Evans to the New York Bulletin to expose Fisk with his truth. Suddenly, Poindexter walks in wearing a Daredevil suit and murders many employees along with Evans and injuring Mitchell Ellison. Poindexter stops at Page and tells her Fisk says hello. Daredevil fights Poindexter and almost loses before the very skilled marksman gets away. Back at the Presidential Hotel, Fisk smiles as he watches the news saying that Daredevil killed many people at the Bulletin. He then has Barnes executed.
Murdock returns to the church, cut, bloody, and bruised. Grace tends to his wounds. He then meets with Melvin Potter who confesses that he was coerced into creating an identical Daredevil suit. Potter then surprisingly attacks Daredevil, saying that he is forced to keep Daredevil there until the FBI arrive. Daredevil talks him out of it, so Potter attacks the FBI, letting Daredevil escape, but is arrested. Nadeem meets with Page and Nelson as they were the only ones not effected by the attack. They tell Nadeem that Fisk had himself shanked. Nadeem then goes to see Fisk and asks him. Fisk's response makes Nadeem believe Page. At Nadeem's house, the agent goes to the basement to get beers when he is ambushed by Daredevil, who tells Nadeem that an FBI agent attacked the Bulletin.
The next morning, Nadeem does research and concludes that Poindexter is the most likely person. Daredevil and Nadeem go to Poindexter's apartment when he is gone. Daredevil finds the psych recordings. Poindexter suddenly arrives home and immediately notices something's wrong. He takes shards of glass from the chandelier to arm himself. The two men escape before the police arrive. However, Poindexter notices that one of the psych tapes are gone, so he burns all of them. Meanwhile, Page thinks that the best way to get Fisk away is to arrest him for past crimes. She visits Fisk and tries to get him to admit to killing his father, but he doesn't fold. To try to get him to reveal it, she tells him that she murdered James Wesley. Fisk goes to attack her, but she is taken away by FBI agents. Nelson tells her that he told the FBI she is trying to kill him because it's better that she gets away instead of being killed. Murdock returns to the church and starts boxing. However, he overhears Grace upstairs praying for God and Jack Murdock to watch over their son. Murdock falls to the ground when realizing that Grace is his mother.
Nadeem goes to SAC Hattley and Agent Winn to tell them about the Fisk conspiracy. However, Hattley kills Winn and tells the recording tape that Nadeem killed him. She then tells Nadeem that her and many others are coerced by Fisk, whom they call the Kingpin, and she will use that as leverage if he doesn't join them. Page escapes her apartment and stays at Clinton Church. Grace tells her that she hopes she can find Murdock now that he has left the church. He then goes around with many other agents including Poindexter as Daredevil to kill anybody Fisk wants. Daredevil enters the Hotel and goes to the security room where he finds a coerced woman. He hears over the radio that Fisk wants Page killed. The woman tells him that he has to kill Fisk now or else he might not have another chance. Daredevil tells her good luck and makes his way to the church.
At the church, Page witnesses mass from the hallways. Suddenly, Poindexter as Daredevil walks in asking for Page. Daredevil runs in and punches Poindexter. They fight, but Daredevil gets knocked down. Page, standing at the alter accepts her fate and closes her eyes as Poindexter winds up to throw his billy club. The stick makes contact, but with Father Paul Lantom who had stepped in front of Page. As Lantom dies, he asks Murdock to forgive him and Grace. Daredevil charges at Poindexter in a fit of rage. They make their way upstairs and the fight ends when Poindexter is thrown off the balcony and he escapes. Murdock and Page escape to the basement as the FBI agents enter. They talk with Grace and look for Daredevil, but are unsuccessful. Nadeem sees Lantom's body and becomes disgusted, so when Mahoney and his men arrive, he privately tells Mahoney to take Page or else they will kill her.
Kingpin orders the FBI agents to release him from custody, which they do. He then hears about Nadeem's actions and tells Poindexter to kill him. Nadeem knows what is about to happen, so he rushes home and gets his family out of bed. FBI agents invade his home and he shoots many of them. Daredevil arrives and attacks as well. When all of them are defeated, Daredevil says he owes Nadeem, he then reveals that he is Matt Murdock.
Now that Kingpin is out of jail, he reunites with Marianna and announces their marriage. Nadeem and Murdock go to see Page and Nelson. Nelson says that they have to try to take down Fisk the right way instead of killing him, so conclude that the best plan is to have Nadeem testify, so they call in Tower. Nelson makes a deal with Tower that he will drop out of candidacy if Tower can listen to Nadeem. After hearing the story, Tower says that Nadeem would have to be arrested as well for the things that he has done. Nadeem agrees and says that is okay. On the way to court, they are ambushed by Fisk's men, but manage to get to the courthouse. Upon arriving, Murdock uses his senses to notice that the jury has been coerced by Fisk. Therefore, Nadeem's declaration is ruled false. Nadeem returns home and records another declaration on his phone and sends it to his wife telling her to get it to Nelson. He then sits in his backyard as Poindexter approaches him. Poindexter draws his gun and kills Nadeem. Murdock believes that Fisk has to be killed now. They did it Nelson's way and now it's his turn.
The next morning, Daredevil calls Poindexter and tells him to go to a location and check a refrigerator. Poindexter complies and finds Barnes' corpse, frozen. Daredevil tells him that it was Kingpin. Nadeem's wife, Seema, goes to the FBI and asks for Nelson. She then shows him Nadeem's video. Nelson realizes that this is a dying declaration which means it will hold up in court, he concludes that he has to tell Murdock before he kills Fisk. Marianna and Fisk set up for their wedding. At the wedding, the Bulletin sends out Nadeem's declaration to everyone. As peers look on, they realize that Fisk is a murderer. Poindexter then arrives in the Daredevil suit and attacks Fisk. Daredevil intervenes and the three chase each other up to the penthouse and fight. Poindexter is thrown into a wall by Kingpin, rendering him paralyzed. Daredevil then duels Kingpin. He gets Fisk on his knees and punches him continuously causing his blood to spray onto the Rabbit in a Snowstorm painting behind them. Daredevil grabs Fisk's neck and prepares to snap it, but backs away, letting out a scream of anger. Fisk urges Daredevil to kill him, but he refuses saying that Hell's Kitchen is his city and he had beaten Fisk. He tells Kingpin that he will go to prison and not say a word or try to kill anyone or else he will go after his wife. Kingpin agrees to the terms. Mahoney then runs in and apprehends Fisk. The officers unmasks "Daredevil" revealing Poindexter, but Mahoney tells him that isn't the real one. He then points up to Murdock, who is walking out of the room. The next day, the trio decides to found a new law firm known as Nelson, Murdock & Page. Later, Poindexter is taken into surgery to fix his paralysis.
