Hey, Red?
Yeah.
Why would you take a bullet for that asshole?
That's a good question.

Do what you gotta do. I stood with my own. I can die easy.
It's an honor to meet you, Castle. I'm a big admirer of your work.
Jesus Christ…
And I lost a lot of guys 'cause of you today. And I'm hoping that this is fuckin' worth it. Listen, Frank, everything that you do, you know, you can do that with us, and you don't gotta run anymore. These guys fuckin' idolize you, man. We all do. It'd be an honor to serve with you, Frank.
"Admire me", huh?
Yeah.
Yeah. Hey... Out of your fuckin' mind, you know that? You're a bunch of clowns, you know that? You fuckin' clowns. Admire me. You think you know my pain? You think you know my loss? You admire me? What do you know about me? How I see the world? You know how I see the world? It's just a circus. A bunch of clowns. I ain't gonna serve with you. I won't fuckin' piss on you if you were on fire, you got that?
I'm right there with you, okay? I feel lost, I feel angry, I feel fucking helpless. The whole city is there. Do you remember I once asked you what it was like... living in the darkness? Do you remember what you said?
It's not dark. It's like a thousand suns.
You know, when I was a kid, after the accident, I thought God had taken my sight. When I grew up... I came to believe that in exchange, He'd given me a special destiny... Like a mask and a purpose could save my life.
Didn't it?
No. It wasn't the mask. It wasn't me needing to believe in it that saved me. My mistake was thinking I was immune to the darkness. And I let it creep inside me. I let the dark power me. I threw Poindexter off that rooftop. Karen, I wanted to kill him. The truth is, ever since Foggy died... I didn't know who I was anymore.
Foggy believed in you. Whatever you wanna call yourself. Whatever's... behind the mask, behind your eyes... that's wrath, and that's mercy. That's the dark and the light. He knew all of it. All of it. He knew you. I do, too.
I can't see my city. But I can feel it. The system isn't working. And it's rotten. Corrupt. But this is our city. Not his. And we can take it back, together. The weak... The strong... All of us... Resist. Rebel. Rebuild. Because we are the city. Without fear.
You know, there's a lot of dead bodies behind us, BB. I think the best way to honor them would be not to join them.
You're turning into Frank.
Well, he always said, "Know your enemy 'cause they're all you got."
Yeah. Sounds extremely Frank.
You think he's dead?
Not a chance. If he was, Fisk would hang his corpse off the Brooklyn Bridge.
CCivilian
Please... Please don't kill me.
BBullseye
Don't worry; I'm one of the good guys.

You don't realize it, do you? You're not a hero. You're a symbol now. Hope for an entire city.
I can tell you that if the right person walks through that door and sees this painting... sees his own deep, inexorable, miserable loneliness reflected right back at him... I can promise you, you can add two zeros to the list price and it'll sell faster than any other piece out front.
I'm bleeding out. I've seen it enough times to know.
I'm not interested in your opinon.
I've earned this, many times over. It's okay. You think she's dead?
I don't know. C'mon.
If she is, it all balances. Your friend, Fisk's wife... Scales settled. And I'm ready for judgement.
Oh, good for you.
You're not listening. That night you threw me off the roof, I was supposed to die. Four story. No one survives that.
And yet. Maybe that's the grand design.
You're getting it.
No, I'm not getting it. If she's dead, Vanessa... That's just murder.
Vanessa, Foggy--
[Daredevil chokes Dex, slamming him against the wall.]
Don't say his name. You don't get to say his name. Do you understand?
You--
Tell me you understand. Don't say his name.
Oh, come on Foggy! It's not like he deserves to walk.
I don't recall the word "deserve" coming up in law school.
He's in bed with the mob, he's selling drugs, he's poisoning the neighborhood!
Yeah, but...
But what? He was also a raging prick to you when you were kids! You wanna spring the guy who calls you Foggy the Fembot?
No, I don't. But, Matt... we are his attorneys.
Oh, we're associates.
Don't get technical.
Either way, Jeff made it sound like--
Mr. Levine. Thank you.
Okay, okay, fine. Dark Lord of Unspoken Kink Levine made it sound like we're not only off the case, but our badges might not work on Monday.
Ray, Lionel... He had a hard life, Matt.
Aw! Cue the violin.
His dad, he was not a good guy. And their mom, Suzanne, she drank. A lot. She died when we were in the eighth grade, okay? Cirrhosis, liver failure. He never had a chance.
His brother did though, didn't he? What was his name, Connor?
Connor was younger. Lionel took the brunt of it. I didn't like him.
And you wanna let him out to continue to do horrendous things to a whole bunch of new people?
I wanna do the right thing.
I dunno, Foggy. I dunno. You sell drugs, you traffic in firearms, I'm sorry, you get caught. There are consequences.
His crew, whoever he was working with, they're gonna kill him when he's inside.
Yeah, that might be the definition of consequences.
But does the punishment fit the crime?!
Crimes past, present, or future?
So you think we should ignore it?
Ignore what?
It's our job to represent clients to the best of our abilities. Suppressing evidence--
Objection! "Suppressing" evidence is questionable. One might even say inflammatory phrasing in this particular instance, Counselor.
Aren't you supposed to be the Catholic one here?
Oh, come on. Alright, fine. So you wanna go with guilt now.
How about mercy? There's gotta be something about that in the Bible. Second chances. Redemption. All I know is that, if he goes to jail, he dies.
And all I know is, that might not be our problem.
Unfortunately, it is now.
We should be safe for now.
"Safe". What does that even mean? You know what happens if she dies?
Fisk turns this city upside-down and shakes it 'til he find us and kills us.
Me. He kills me.
Us. I was there. That is more than enough for Fisk.
[The past -- Lionel sits, a chair facing towards his door. He receives a knock. He stands, aiming his gun.]
LLionel
It's open.
[Foggy walks in. Raises his hands in surprise.]
LLionel
The fuck you doin' here, Foggy?!
[The present:]
I know someone who can help. A nurse.
Nurses, doctors, lawyers. Vigilantes, assassins. Killing people, saving people... Act like it makes a difference. Like it matters at all.
[The past -- Foggy offering Lionel an envelope. The cash he and Matt were saving to start their firm.]
LLionel
The hell is this?
I was hoping you'd take that and, I don't know... Get outta here. I don't even know where, but...
LLionel
Wait, wait, wait. So-- So you... You, you, uh, give me money?
No, Ray, I already gave it to you. What I want is for you to start over with it. You got a second chance here!
[The present:]
It's not about them, it's about you. About me. Just people. And brother, we are who we are.
LLionel
You know, those nights... We used to, uh... Crash in the living room, um... Well, you and Connor, with the, uh, sleeping bags and the, uh, flashlights, you know? I never really, uh, had a friend like that.
I know.
[The present:]
We're all doing the same thing here. Acting something out, scratching some kind of itch. But the worst part... is when you think you got it beat. So you go "Oh, I outran it." And then you turn a corner, bam. There it is. Staring you right in the face. Only it's worse this time. And you know... it was always gonna be there.
[The past:]
LLionel
Hey, hey, do me a favor, will you? Tell my brother to stay right where he's at. Alright? And you tell him that I told you to tell him that. That he ain't got nothing back here for him.
He's got you.
LLionel
C'mon, Foggy, you gotta go. Get outta here.
[The present:]
There's no escaping it.
And there I was, thinking the Murdock and Nelson fund was supposed to be about the future.
It is, Matt. But not just ours.
So, where to now?
Josie's, obviously.
What are we celebrating?
Mercy.
