Transcript
- 0:12Hello everyone and welcome to the concession stand here on the KB Radio Network.
- 0:18I am your host Kevin Reed and welcome to the review of Daredevil Born Again
- 0:25Season 2
- 0:26Episode
- 0:286 entitled
- 0:30Requiem which comes to us from the good folks over at Marvel Television and Disney
- 0:37Plus.
- 0:39How is everybody doing out there?
- 0:40there i hope everyone is doing just well well at least doing better than vanessa fist uh r.i.p which is where we left off last week in episode five where vanessa
- 0:58she finally succumbed to her injuries that was sustained by that figurine uh thrown by bullseye deflected by kingpin nonetheless but
- 1:10hit her in the head we had a brain surgeon come in say he's gonna do the best he can and give it the old college try and save vanessa it looked like she was gonna pull through but there was gap when she woke up there were gaps in her memory uh
- 1:28to the point where she just succumbed to her injuries and passed away and that's how the episode ended and all week all i can think about the havoc that
- 1:39kingpin was gonna wreck on new york city uh following the death of his beloved and so we open up this episode episode six requiem with kingpin still at the bedside of vanessa who
- 1:56has passed away he's holding her hand he's sobbing uh understandably and the doctor walks in the one who performed the surgery and immediately I like well
- 2:08grand opening grand closing for this dude because he's gonna get it and he made it so much worse so much worse he tried to comfort him with words and none of those were it got me mad what he was telling him and
- 2:25you know it was like oh he wasn't going like religious with it you know oh brother just go in prayer or nothing like that.
- 2:34He just gave this zen...
- 2:36answer or response or not even response because key pin didn't say nothing nobody asked you for comfort at this moment but he felt the need to give this uh prepared speech puts his hand on
- 2:52wilson's shoulder and wilson just looked at his hand he didn't even look the dude in the eye as he was talking he's just looking at his hand and
- 3:07Wilson Fisk,
- 3:09he stands up,
- 3:10and the doctor says something to the effect,
- 3:11like,
- 3:12it was a great honor treating your wife.
- 3:15And that was it.
- 3:16That was the scrawl.
- 3:19That was the scrawl that broke the camel's back,
- 3:22literally,
- 3:23because Wilson Fisk gave the doctor a hug.
- 3:27And we know that Wilson Fisk gives the greatest bear hugs of all time.
- 3:33Literally squeezed this man.
- 3:35to death breaking his spine and just plopping him on the floor like he was nothing which he was at that point uh we cut to vanessa's funeral where will uh rilson is donning his all-white suit his patented all-white suit uh his
- 3:55people are there and you got buck you got uh sheila's there
- 4:00Heather's there Daniel all of them are present
- 4:05to give respect and their condolences at that time.
- 4:10Wilson Fitz,
- 4:11he lays a red rose on an all-white coffin.
- 4:15Beautiful scene,
- 4:15beautifully shot.
- 4:17So meanwhile,
- 4:18elsewhere,
- 4:19we have
- 4:20Matt, him and Karen are watching over a recuperating bullseye that when we left off last week,
- 4:30Daredevil brought bullseye.
- 4:32to their little hideout with karen and karen just gave a look like are you serious and uh that was the end of that so we pick up he's being um nursed back to help uh soda dad is helping out uh
- 4:47stapling his wounds and whatnot and there's there's of course some tension there with karen and matt you know karen is like
- 4:58You gotta be kidding me,
- 4:59man.
- 5:00I mean,
- 5:00this dude literally killed our best friend in front of our face.
- 5:05And you're here helping him,
- 5:07you know?
- 5:08So there's a tension that's growing throughout the episode.
- 5:12But actually,
- 5:13it was kind of teetering all season,
- 5:15but now it's reaching its boiling point.
- 5:18Elsewhere,
- 5:20we cut to
- 5:21Mr. Charles,
- 5:22who's played by the great Matthew Litter.
- 5:26and he...
- 5:27He goes to try to retrieve the weapons that were on that ship that Kingpin sunk a few episodes ago,
- 5:37goes in the warehouse and finds it empty.
- 5:42It's empty.
- 5:43Well,
- 5:43Wilson had beat him to the punch.
- 5:45And so now he's frustrated,
- 5:47to say the least.
- 5:48Kingpin,
- 5:50he reneges on their deal.
- 5:53And we then see
- 5:56Officer.
- 5:57paul and the task force unloading the weapons in a different location we get the credits and then after the credits we get the long awaited mcu debut of a character that i
- 6:12i fell in love with on netflix when they were shelling out these shows starting with daredevil and punisher and luke cage and there was another show in there no not iron fist but
- 6:26it was another show in there that
- 6:28I deeply loved at least that first season and that was Jessica Jones and
- 6:33Kristen Ritter as
- 6:35Jessica Jones is money
- 6:37I didn't like the second season but I always loved her as this character I didn't really follow that character in the comics I knew a little bit about her because I know in the comics I think her and Peter Parker had a relationship at one point it's
- 6:54It's no way to do it now in the MCU,
- 6:58but in the comics,
- 7:00that was a thing.
- 7:03Yes,
- 7:03the Luke Cage relationship was a thing,
- 7:07and it's even more so a thing here because we cut to this suburban home,
- 7:12and this mom is talking to her little daughter,
- 7:17and they don't show her face.
- 7:19We just see the back of the actress playing the mother,
- 7:23you
- 7:24All of a sudden,
- 7:25this little hit squad pulls up to the house and the mother gold rushes outside.
- 7:31And all of you,
- 7:32all you hear is this chaos as the little girl is inside playing around.
- 7:37And they got this flash grenade that is thrown in the house and is beeping and is steady beeping while this mom is just handling business outside to these assassins,
- 7:51would be assassins.
- 7:53and the
- 7:53little girl picks up the grenade and just playing with it like it's a little wand you know doing what little girls do i didn't think little girls were that naive little boys yes but little girls no but it was weird but cute nonetheless but it did add tension to the scene because the beeping the
- 8:13beeping on that grenade was just it was intensifying it was getting quicker and quicker and quicker and you know at any moment that
- 8:21thing's about to go off while this little girl is holding it and playing with it like it's an actual toy and there's no sign of the mom coming in you just keep hearing her beating up people on outside and you're like oh my god oh my god this girl is gonna die and
- 8:38it's gonna be really really bad but right before the beeping gets to a like a stop we see the mom comes in and stops it
- 8:49and they finally show her face and it's none other than Jessica Jones herself,
- 8:55Kristen Ritter reprising her role uh the cute thing about it,
- 9:01okay cool Jessica Jones has a daughter now all this was spoiled in the trailers uh the scene where he tells Matt that they tried to hurt my daughter and all this other stuff,
- 9:16they spoiled all that in the trailers which was stupid
- 9:19I think they should have kept that because it would have been more of an impact here.
- 9:23Because honestly,
- 9:24once the scene started,
- 9:26when you see the little girl and you see the mom there and you're like,
- 9:30oh,
- 9:30that is Jessica Jones,
- 9:31even though you knew she was coming.
- 9:33But you still wanted to be a little surprised there.
- 9:37But nonetheless,
- 9:38but the key element here,
- 9:40the key element here was the fact that once again,
- 9:45shouldn't be a surprise if you watch the.
- 9:47the
- 9:48Netflix Marvel shows and Jessica Jones and the Defenders and Luke Cage and all this stuff.
- 9:55It shouldn't be a surprise.
- 9:57The fact that the child is mixed.
- 10:02The child is the daughter of Jessica Jones and Luke Cage.
- 10:07I thought that was a cool element here,
- 10:10even though I knew it.
- 10:12But it was cool to see that they're going forward with it.
- 10:16So you have that there.
- 10:19We go back to the little hideout that Daredevil and Karen has.
- 10:26We still see Soda Dad working on Bullseye,
- 10:30treating his wounds.
- 10:31And she suggests that he needs to go to the hospital.
- 10:35And Daredevil's like,
- 10:36oh,
- 10:36no.
- 10:38No,
- 10:38no.
- 10:39You take him to the hospital,
- 10:40he's going to die.
- 10:41They're going to kill him.
- 10:42And Karen is like,
- 10:44okay.
- 10:47Okay.
- 10:48Maybe he should go.
- 10:50Because she believes he should be dead.
- 10:52You know?
- 10:53That he.
- 10:55He killed our best friend,
- 10:57you know,
- 10:58or at the very least,
- 10:59let Wilson Fisk catch him and torture him.
- 11:02The devil wanted it,
- 11:03too.
- 11:04And so
- 11:06Angela
- 11:08Del Toro or the White Tiger,
- 11:11she gives Karen an update on what's going on in the city.
- 11:15You have is pretty much segregated.
- 11:20Half of the city is mourning.
- 11:22vanessa the other half are concerned about the uh disappearances taking place around the city uh matt he wants an update on uh christoph and karen tells him uh her
- 11:38source should be dropping the interview footage any day now so she then asks him whether he remembers bullseye attack on on that church that that was in uh
- 11:51the netflix version of daredevil in season three yeah season three and uh when he killed fop you know the uh priest and left matt almost dead he you know he was on a brink of death and
- 12:09so at that time she remembers matt wanting to kill this and she told him not to she basically talked him out of it and now she's wondering whether she was wrong for doing that
- 12:21You know,
- 12:22because now
- 12:23Matt literally won't pull the trigger.
- 12:26He will not kill.
- 12:27You know,
- 12:28he has that code.
- 12:30And so Matt said she wasn't because this is what separates him from the villains.
- 12:36It separates him from Bullseye or Fisk.
- 12:40And so she wonders whether this fight doesn't end until one of them go down permanently.
- 12:47You know.
- 12:48uh somebody has to die in order for this to truly stop somebody's gonna have to die and tell she tells matt to uh start concentrating on putting kingpin down once and for all you're gonna have to put him down because
- 13:07if he gets the opportunity this isn't gonna hesitate he's he's not gonna hesitate at all and so matt has to leave to meet quote-unquote somebody you
- 13:18And
- 13:19Karen asks him what he wants her to do with Bullseye.
- 13:23And he tells her to watch over him and to remember vengeance isn't justice.
- 13:33That doesn't justify,
- 13:35well,
- 13:35he's killing somebody.
- 13:36It doesn't justify the true outcome because you're still going to have that hole to fill.
- 13:43So after the funeral...
- 13:47We see the governor talking to Sheila and is worried that this next move,
- 13:53you know,
- 13:54what is he going to do next?
- 13:55And so she's getting a lot of pressure from outside sources and may have to take action against him sooner rather than later.
- 14:02And so she suggests a potential mayoral run for Sheila.
- 14:09Now,
- 14:10once again,
- 14:10and this is spoilers for
- 14:14Spider-Man Brand New Day.
- 14:15If you don't want to...
- 14:16hear it even though it's in the trailer so it's not really a sport and that's where i got my information and i don't have an inside source unfortunately if you watch the spider-man trailer and if you haven't watched it once again this is the spoiler warning she's
- 14:33the mayor in the in the trailer uh she is the one sheila is the one giving spider-man the key to the city so we already know
- 14:44what's gonna happen at the end of this little uh brouhaha which it really shouldn't be a shot you know but i know some out there haven't
- 14:55You know,
- 14:55they stay away from spoilers.
- 14:57But it is what it is.
- 14:59Anyway,
- 15:01Daniel,
- 15:01it's Daniel's birthday.
- 15:03And
- 15:04Bebe, she wishes him a happy birthday.
- 15:06She says that they should do something to celebrate.
- 15:11But he's not in the mood.
- 15:13You know,
- 15:14he just seen his mentor's wife murdered and just went to the funeral.
- 15:22He's not feeling it.
- 15:23He's not in a festive mood.
- 15:25But,
- 15:26BB,
- 15:27she insists and he admits that he was going to dear old mom's house later on.
- 15:32And she asked if she can tag along,
- 15:34you know,
- 15:35can I come to meet my mom?
- 15:39You know,
- 15:39it's weird.
- 15:40It's not like we were officially dating or anything.
- 15:43There's been none of that.
- 15:44But you want to come to my mom's house?
- 15:46There's come on.
- 15:48And so,
- 15:49Buck,
- 15:49he interrupts their conversation and attempts to intimidate BB.
- 15:55who reminds him she's a journalist.
- 15:59After she leaves,
- 16:00Buck tells
- 16:02Daniel to put himself together.
- 16:06He knows that
- 16:07Daniel is smitten with B.B.
- 16:12You know,
- 16:13but there's something's not right about her.
- 16:16You know,
- 16:17Buck is like,
- 16:19this information is getting out.
- 16:21This information is being leaked,
- 16:23some shape,
- 16:24form,
- 16:24or fashion.
- 16:25The only thing I can think of,
- 16:27and I'm just paraphrasing what
- 16:30Buck was saying in less words,
- 16:34but it's her.
- 16:35It's her,
- 16:36but we can't prove it.
- 16:37And so he tells him to feed Bebe a fake story.
- 16:43And so if it gets out,
- 16:44if that fake story gets out,
- 16:46we know that she is the mole.
- 16:49She is the one leaking information.
- 16:52And so
- 16:54Buck says,
- 16:54hey.
- 16:55we'll take care of it if it leaks
- 16:57I'll take care of it you ain't gotta worry about it you know and so
- 17:02Fisk he gets his car he gets a call from Mr.
- 17:05Charles who's not too happy about the weapons coming up missing and being moved so he begins to berate
- 17:19Kingpin who simply just hangs up the phone he doesn't even talk
- 17:24He just hangs up in his face.
- 17:26And so at the same time,
- 17:27people start to protest outside of the memorial service.
- 17:33Daredevil,
- 17:34he links up with
- 17:35Jessica Jones.
- 17:37That is the person he had to meet.
- 17:39And she is pissed.
- 17:43She is hot as fish grease because these soldiers showed up at her house and put her daughter in danger.
- 17:51You know,
- 17:52understandably so.
- 17:54And so she tells
- 17:55Matt that she done some digging,
- 17:59you know,
- 17:59let's not forget she's a private investigator.
- 18:01So she did some digging into who is providing Wilson Fisk cover to smuggle these drugs,
- 18:10not drugs,
- 18:10but guns and confirms it's a faction of the U.S.
- 18:14government.
- 18:15So it goes deeper than what they thought or what Matt thought.
- 18:21And Jessica tells him about how Mr.
- 18:23Charles tried to recruit her in the past.
- 18:27And she declined his invitation,
- 18:31put it mildly,
- 18:32what he what she told him.
- 18:34But others did join.
- 18:37And it's suggested that way was the way it was kind of put out there that her husband took the offer.
- 18:48Now,
- 18:49here's the question I had.
- 18:52Is it Luke Cage?
- 18:53Because when we last left Luke Cage,
- 18:55he was king of Harlem.
- 18:58He really was going towards the dark side.
- 19:01And they canceled the show,
- 19:02so we didn't know how that was going to play out.
- 19:05I couldn't stand the end of that season.
- 19:06I couldn't stand where they were going with the Luke Cage character.
- 19:10But I did like the show nonetheless.
- 19:12Either way,
- 19:13there was no indication that they were,
- 19:17quote-unquote,
- 19:18together.
- 19:19Or that they were...
- 19:21on the verge of getting married or anything like that but you can clearly see that they did have a little bundle of joy along the way and that that child is about i don't know eight seven eight somewhere around that range but
- 19:39so i don't i don't know i don't know if it's luke cage what but why would luke cage join the government but but maybe that is that is possible though
- 19:51But we'll see.
- 19:51We'll see down the line.
- 19:53They didn't really go in depth with it.
- 19:55That's all they really mentioned about that.
- 19:57part of it so we'll see how that goes uh matt he can sense something is wrong with jessica and tells her that you know sounds like you got broken ribs now that's how that's how gangster matt murdoch is he can listen to her breathing and tell that she's having trouble breathing and maybe the
- 20:21ribs are broke which she did she did kind of confirm and so she admits that you know
- 20:26After giving birth today to her daughter,
- 20:29her powers sometimes drop in and out,
- 20:32which is interesting.
- 20:34And so Matt asks about their child,
- 20:38Danielle,
- 20:39and
- 20:41Jessica says she's a handful,
- 20:42but she's doing good.
- 20:45So based on her lead in her little investigation,
- 20:51the two head to the task force warehouse.
- 20:55where the guns are currently being stored.
- 20:58And so they deduced that while the guns were initially being run for Charles,
- 21:05they're now being used for the task force,
- 21:08which isn't good news for the city of New York.
- 21:12So Jessica asks Daredevil if she wants to cause some trouble.
- 21:17And so the two of them collectively go into the warehouse and have a glorious battle.
- 21:23I actually enjoyed.
- 21:25uh that little fight scene and it was good to see jessica jones uh get loose yet again it's been so long and man uh kristin ritter didn't miss a step she she is uh still still uh beast mode like she was in the netflix series and
- 21:44so uh after the tussle with the task force uh the warehouse was partially on fire but with all that ammunition and explosives in there
- 21:55uh it basically destroyed all the weapons and the entire warehouse goes down in flames and so i guess mission accomplished at that point and so back at the uh wilson fist we have heather now
- 22:11heather is a very interesting character this season i've made it known couldn't stand that character in season one i'm really enjoying her in season two it she she is
- 22:22I'm curious to see where they're going with this character because she is dealing with some post-traumatic stress that is,
- 22:30man,
- 22:31I feel bad for her.
- 22:32But she's still doing some evil stuff as well that make you can't stand her.
- 22:37But it's a good balance that's being displayed with this character that
- 22:44I am intrigued by.
- 22:45And
- 22:46Heather, we find her in the bedroom.
- 22:49She's kind of,
- 22:50she's staring at...
- 22:51uh vanessa's old belongings her jewelry and stuff like that she steals a pair of earrings and buck walks in on her and she begins to open up about her experience that happened last season with muse and
- 23:07she described to him the pain muse inflicted and broke down in tears and uh buck was like well what did he do to her do to you and she's like well he cut me and he he
- 23:21He choked me.
- 23:23And
- 23:23Buck was like,
- 23:24okay,
- 23:24well,
- 23:24choke.
- 23:27He choked me.
- 23:28I mean,
- 23:28Buck went all in.
- 23:30And he allowed
- 23:31Heather to choke him.
- 23:32And she was choking him,
- 23:34boy.
- 23:35And he was letting her.
- 23:36And he was really being choked.
- 23:38That was a cool little scene on the slick style.
- 23:42It was a cool little scene.
- 23:45But
- 23:46Buck did snap her back into reality.
- 23:48And it looks like those two are going to have a thing going forward.
- 23:51And so we go back to
- 23:54Daniel's mother's house where they're celebrating his birthday.
- 23:58Bebe is there as well.
- 24:03Bebe tells him that the task force raids are making everything worse for the city.
- 24:08And Blake is like,
- 24:10hey,
- 24:11you know,
- 24:12the vigilantes just killed
- 24:14Vanessa.
- 24:16And Bebe tells him that,
- 24:17well,
- 24:18she was there,
- 24:19too.
- 24:19You know,
- 24:20I've seen everything.
- 24:21thing yeah you can't spin the lies you know uh daniel he takes a second he thinks about it and he's like you know what and he feeds this false story that wilson fist is not running for re-election and
- 24:36she buys she like oh really i mean this is the one thing about the bb character i can't stand i don't know if it's the actress or the way it was if this character is written she's so stupid at times
- 24:50You know,
- 24:51to be a journalist.
- 24:53and not see through the bull crap and she just couldn't see that this was he was so open to tell this story and she took it i mean immediately like oh really ain't tried didn't try to vet it or nothing you
- 25:08know that's that's what kills me with this character but other than that i like the bb character but just moments like that and in the fact that blake well i understand him he he's blinded by love or infatuation.
- 25:23And he can't see past his own nose when it comes to BB.
- 25:27So I kind of get him.
- 25:30But now after leaking that story to her or that fake story,
- 25:34fake news to her,
- 25:38she he has to sit back and wait to see if this hits the news press.
- 25:45And so
- 25:47Powell and the rest of the task force,
- 25:49they regroup.
- 25:50Powell,
- 25:51he,
- 25:52come...
- 25:53you know,
- 25:53confirms that this was indeed Jessica Jones.
- 25:58She was helping Daredevil.
- 26:00He also finds
- 26:01Officer Sanders.
- 26:03Now,
- 26:03if you remember Officer Sanders from a couple of episodes ago,
- 26:06who were helping
- 26:08Daredevil and
- 26:09Karen, and he actually gave
- 26:12Daredevil that key card to go and rescue those captors or prisoners.
- 26:20that were being held by the task force and so daredevil had end up dropping that card during the the escape and powell found it so he gave the key card back to sanders and
- 26:36it's the same key card that of course he gave to daredevil and immediately you knew that sanders days minutes of seconds were numbered.
- 26:46He knew that
- 26:48Daredevil didn't take it from him because if
- 26:51Daredevil would have took it
- 26:54Saunders would have been broken up or something he would have got beat up any little thing in order to get that card but in order for him to walk back nothing wrong not a scratch on him he knew that he gave it over willingly and
- 27:10so we're back at the hideout Karen is watching over Bullseye he finally wakes up
- 27:18to find himself handcuffed to the bed.
- 27:21Karen is sitting there right next to him with a gun,
- 27:26ready for any little thing.
- 27:30He asks her if she's going to shoot him.
- 27:33She tells him that it was Vanessa that ordered the hit on Foggy.
- 27:40He was just completing the equation.
- 27:43So he again expressed his intent to die.
- 27:47and karen seems ready to oblige that wish to grant him his wish points the gun at his head but uh daredevil walked in and knocked the gun out of her hand uh with uh one of his bully clubs or billy clubs or whatever he calls it uh daredevil it
- 28:05says he can't let her kill him karen is mad and she tells uh mad that he keeps choosing the wrong people
- 28:15you know he saved fist he saved bullseye but he couldn't save the people he loved you know and it's but it cut like a knife that one cut deep and he didn't have an answer for it because partially true you know he he
- 28:35saves the villains but the people who really suffer suffer
- 28:41The ones who love him and the ones he loves suffer around him.
- 28:45So she asks him to let her kill Bullseye.
- 28:49Matt is shocked at her behavior at this point.
- 28:52She tells him that Kristoff didn't make it to the witness protection and the video hasn't been broadcast anywhere.
- 29:00So they have to assume everyone is dead at this point.
- 29:06You know,
- 29:07she tells him to...
- 29:09Zed.
- 29:10Basically grow up and leave.
- 29:12He tells him to leave.
- 29:14And so the protests,
- 29:15they keep getting bigger around the city.
- 29:19Powell is getting extremely friendly with Saunders,
- 29:23which is a clear indication that something's about to happen to him.
- 29:28Away from the action,
- 29:29you have B.B.
- 29:30and Daniel still at the house.
- 29:33They're enjoying a quiet dinner.
- 29:36during this birthday celebration they're sharing stories of
- 29:41Daniel's childhood
- 29:42Bebe she goes to the bathroom
- 29:45Daniel takes that opportunity to search her coat and she takes a look at Daniel's childhood bedroom and
- 29:56She starts to type up her little,
- 29:59that little fake story that Daniel fed to her.
- 30:02And she has a change of heart.
- 30:06And she doesn't hit send because she was looking at all of the photos,
- 30:10little childhood photos of Daniel.
- 30:13And I guess,
- 30:14you know,
- 30:16hula heads prevailed or whatever.
- 30:18So she decided not to send the news story,
- 30:22which basically saved her life.
- 30:24At that point,
- 30:25at least.
- 30:25for now meanwhile daniel he has a heart-to-heart with his mom and who is who is proud of his success and they all get back together and they cut the cake uh going back to the city we see that the protesters start to don these
- 30:42little makeshift daredevil man as and i will look at that like man that was some real good man as they put together and uh he has this army of support that's still growing and
- 30:54It seems like it's getting bigger and bigger every day.
- 31:00The governor gets a late night visit from Mr.
- 31:03Charles.
- 31:04He tells her that they have to solve her city hall problem,
- 31:09a.k.a.
- 31:10Wilson Fisk.
- 31:12Bebe,
- 31:12she gets ready to leave and Daniel helps her with a coat.
- 31:16She tells him that she had a nice evening,
- 31:19wish him a happy birthday again.
- 31:20She leans in to give him a kiss.
- 31:23And he.
- 31:24pulls back and he pulls uh uh pulls out the sd card that was in her jacket and he tells her that he knows that she's the one behind that uh uh fake kingpin videos and wants to know what's
- 31:41on the sd card and she tries to explain but he's too upset at this point he's far gone he's hot you know so he uh he tells her that they're both screwed at this point
- 31:53And he's not sure if he can protect her anymore.
- 31:56And she's like,
- 31:57well,
- 31:58protect me from who?
- 32:00Daniel's phone is ringing,
- 32:01and he shows her the incoming call that he's getting,
- 32:06and it protects you from him and his buck that's calling at this time to check up on the situation.
- 32:14And so Karen disguises herself and reaches to protest.
- 32:18Wilson Fisk,
- 32:19he watches the streets from his office.
- 32:22up.
- 32:23reaches him with an update that the governor has pulled her support for him and the meeting is happening tomorrow uh fist is about to respond but karen plays the video of the testimonials on side of the building they had this big old projector that was uh projecting on side of city hall there and
- 32:47uh started showing those videos all of the prisoners speak about how fist wrongfully held him.
- 32:52prisoner how daredevil freed them and of course the kingpin discreetly leaves his office into his little secret exit and the videos end with a message to resist and
- 33:07rebel um kingpin returns to his lair and looks at the painting he bought from vanessa the one that uh signified their first meeting,
- 33:21you know.
- 33:22and he gets a visitor and it's none other than daredevil and i've been waiting for this all season and i didn't realize that this is the first time that we see them this season in the same scene
- 33:40you know just them and it's funny how it's funny how you don't realize you missed something until you get it and i was
- 33:51Man,
- 33:51I was hyped up for this moment because I knew it was about to go down.
- 33:54Finally,
- 33:54we're going to get another Kingpin Daredevil fight.
- 33:57And so
- 33:58Daredevil, he offers his condolences.
- 34:01Fizz says he's not surprised to see him.
- 34:04And he asks him if that's why he came.
- 34:08Did you come to give your condolences?
- 34:09Really?
- 34:10That's why you're here?
- 34:11And Daredevil tells him that he's not even sure what the two of them are fighting about anymore.
- 34:17It's gotten to the point,
- 34:18I don't even know why we fight.
- 34:20you and it's like that in life you haven't been mad at somebody so long and then you see that person after a while and you're mad but you forget what you're mad about and that's basically where where daredevil is right now he's like what i don't even know why we're fighting you
- 34:39know and uh is it about new york is it about the people what what is it and so nobody is going to win and that they should end
- 34:50End is now.
- 34:51Let's just end it now.
- 34:52And he tells him that he's not going to stop as long as Fisk is up to his illegal activities.
- 34:59He knows Fisk is not going to stop.
- 35:04He knows that he has no plan to stop.
- 35:06And so Daredevil also asks Fisk what it will take for him to just walk away.
- 35:14Just leave New York.
- 35:15Then
- 35:17Daredevil will leave.
- 35:18If you leave,
- 35:18Daredevil will leave.
- 35:20And Fisk says nothing.
- 35:23Nothing he can give him.
- 35:25Nor take away.
- 35:27Nothing.
- 35:28And so Daredevil asked him to imagine if they never met.
- 35:32Then maybe Foggy and Vanessa would probably still be alive.
- 35:35And that was it.
- 35:37That was the switch.
- 35:38And that caused Fist to just go ham.
- 35:42And the fight began.
- 35:44They had an awesome fight.
- 35:47It was an awesome fight.
- 35:48This was one of the best fights.
- 35:49Very subtle.
- 35:51You know,
- 35:51it wasn't grandiose.
- 35:52But it was nice.
- 35:54It was a nice hand-to-hand combat fight.
- 35:57between these would you classify kingpin as a super being you know because he does some extraordinary things he's definitely above average strength we've seen that the dude punched through a brick wall in his fight he
- 36:16was he is all he is awesome man awesomely powerful uh daredevil and kingpin they continue to fight on uh yet outside
- 36:27powell he gets the message from buck and goes up to saunders and tells him that he knew he was the mole i know that you gave uh your key uh key card to daredevil and kills him and
- 36:44cole the other officer he he's like man what are you doing he's like what are you doing and powell spent it you know he's like oh the protest to scare saunders so that now we now we got the okay
- 36:57To use brutal force.
- 36:59We can start taking these protesters out.
- 37:02The fight continues.
- 37:03Between Daredevil and Kingpin.
- 37:06Fist.
- 37:07He finally manages to grab Daredevil.
- 37:10Land a big blow.
- 37:12Before he starts.
- 37:13Just curve stomping.
- 37:16He then throws him into the painting.
- 37:18Destroying the painting.
- 37:20Begins to beat Matt to the ground.
- 37:23Daredevil.
- 37:24Finally asks him.
- 37:26If this is what he really wants.
- 37:28And
- 37:29Kingpin says,
- 37:31this is what we both want.
- 37:34And Daredevil finally takes the kid's gloves off,
- 37:37I guess you could say,
- 37:39and begins fighting back.
- 37:42Daredevil,
- 37:43I think I said Kingpin.
- 37:44But Daredevil,
- 37:45he took the gloves off at this point.
- 37:47He started fighting back.
- 37:48He starts using the billy clubs and he takes Kingpin down.
- 37:55easily one of the better fights that they've had easily one of the better fight yeah yeah yeah this is probably better than than than the netflix fight between those two it's just something about this fight just looked better
- 38:12and it was in a a tighter area it just everything about it looked better but anyway daredevil he in ended things with a really awesome move
- 38:23He used the billy clubs to strangle
- 38:25Fisk before delivering a running knee strike to the face and knocking him out.
- 38:35The task force outside,
- 38:36they attack the protesters,
- 38:38Karen and
- 38:39Angela. And
- 38:42I forgot the other character's name,
- 38:44Javi,
- 38:45I think.
- 38:46They get caught up in a crossfire.
- 38:48Javi gets knocked down and the two of them go to help him.
- 38:52And
- 38:53Karen's wig gets pulled off,
- 38:56back at the fight.
- 38:57Wilson gets back up finally,
- 39:00in acts daredevil.
- 39:02If he's going to arrest him and tells him,
- 39:05you can't,
- 39:06you can't arrest me.
- 39:07You're not a cop.
- 39:07Then I guess you're going to kill me.
- 39:11And then he's like,
- 39:11no,
- 39:12you can't.
- 39:13Cause you don't kill.
- 39:15And so the episode is with daredevil walking out of that lair.
- 39:20and then we flash to the.
- 39:22protest Karen instead kind of stooped over Javi
- 39:27I believe that's the character's name and Powell he identifies Karen
- 39:32Karen Page and points his weapon at her as she puts her hands in the air as she is being taken prisoner and we fade to black on episode
- 39:446 this was a really good episode uh not
- 39:49super strong.
- 39:50It's not the strongest of the season by far,
- 39:53but entertaining nonetheless.
- 39:54We got two episodes left.
- 39:56I figured this one would probably be the
- 40:00quote unquote filler episode even though it really wasn't a filler but uh it was slow despite the fact we got a jessica jones fight uh team up with daredevil fight uh daredevil and kingpin pin fight we got some story lines
- 40:20moving along i still felt this was a little slower uh of an episode but and also Thank you.
- 40:28We didn't get enough of Jessica Jones.
- 40:30Where was she at the end of this episode?
- 40:33It would have been nice to see her kind of incorporated at the end there.
- 40:37But hopefully she pops up in one of these last two episodes before this season wraps up.
- 40:46Once again,
- 40:48you know,
- 40:49even though this was a weaker episode in comparisons to the,
- 40:53you know,
- 40:54the rest of this season,
- 40:56I still enjoyed this episode.
- 40:58Still excited to see what's next.
- 41:00Next week,
- 41:00the penultimate episode,
- 41:02episode seven.
- 41:06It promises a very interesting development in this story,
- 41:12you know,
- 41:13with
- 41:15Karen being captured down daredevil.
- 41:18I mean,
- 41:19he has to recover from the beating he took from Kingpin,
- 41:22so he can't immediately go after her like he.
- 41:25you know like he could or want to uh will he get help from bullseye to help him out uh i wouldn't like that you know because i'm tired of seeing villains redeemed let a villain be a villain and this is your arch villain here in
- 41:44daredevil speak so i don't know i don't know where they go maybe jessica joan return and uh helps him out maybe luke cage pops up
- 41:55Who knows?
- 41:56We'll see.
- 41:58There's a lot that can happen here.
- 42:00This is clearly,
- 42:01by far,
- 42:03the best thing Marvel has put out in years.
- 42:08So
- 42:08I am super excited and happy that we are receiving this.
