Nadeem quotes from Daredevil

[recording a video] Hey, beautiful. It's me. I'm home. You remember our wedding vows? "I love you more than life itself". I still do. And Sami? Your name means "Elevated". And that's what you did for me. You made my life better in the most unexpected ways. Elevate your mom now.

[via video message recorded before death] If you're showing this to Sami, I need you to stop the video now. For everyone else... My name is Special Agent Ray Nadeem of the FBI, and under federal law, I swear that the testimony I'm about to give is the truth, whole truth and nothing but the truth... and should be considered my dying declaration. I'm guilty of a number of criminal acts, and I was in no way acting alone. Wilson Fisk coerced me and a number of fellow FBI agents into aiding and abetting a criminal conspiracy... to extort protection money from New York crime organizations. Agents Arinori, Johnson, Markham, Mockter, O'Connor and Ramsey all took part and continue to act as Fisk's operatives under the orders of our boss, Special Agent in Charge Tammy Hattley. There may be others. I can't be sure. But I personally witnessed SAC Hattley murder Agent Winn in her kitchen, using my handgun. And then witnessed Fisk's aide, Felix Manning, remove the body and use this crime and threat against my family to blackmail me into cooperating with Fisk. I'm not making any excuses, because I aided and abetted the worst crime of them all. I personally drove Special Agent Ben Poindexter to the Clinton Church... dressed in a fake Daredevil suit. I knew at this point that Poindexter was the killer who attacked the Bulletin, and I knew he was gonna do something horrible at the church. But I let it happen anyway. So I'm guilty of aiding and abetting the murder of Father Paul Lantom. I'm ashamed of what I've done. But that doesn't change the fact that I and everyone I just named are guilty as hell. Seems... you need to get this video to my attorneys. And don't try and run. Go to the FBI and pretend like you don't know anything about any of this. Tell them I'm a monster. [sobs] It's the only way that you and Sami can get through this. I'm sorry, baby. I will always love you. [kisses]

Fisk

Tell me, special agent Nadeem... Do you have anyone in your life who you love so much you would do anything to protect them?

Are you threatening me?

Fisk

I have made many mistakes. But I accept the debt I'm paying because of them. But what I will not accept that the woman I love should have to pay for them, too. I would do anything to protect her. Anything.

I'm sorry, what is it you're saying?

Fisk

I want to make a deal.

Listen to me very carefully: If we take Karen Page into custody, she'll be dead before she reaches HQ. [off his look] No, don't react. Just get her the hell away from us, we clear?

Crystal.

Sami was curled up with me in a bathtub, waiting for men to come kill him. Do you know what I hoped for in that moment? That they'd kill him first, so he didn't have to watch me die. How do you fix that?

Seems, Seems... I am so sorry. But I will make you and Sami safe. I promise you.

I can't let what you say matter to me anymore, Rahul. Sami deserves at least one person in his life he can trust. And that's never going to be you.

Matt

Are you ready for this? Testifying's not gonna be easy.

I love my job. I love being the good guy. I wanna be on the right side of the line again.

Matt

You didn't love it enough to stop Fisk.

Fisk knows how to make people vulnerable. He got my sister-in-law's health insurance cancelled. He left my family with bills to pay, bills that I had to ta--

Matt

So you take a loan, you sell your house, you figure it out.

It wasn't that easy--

Matt

You backed his play, Ray, you moved him into his hotel and you gave him his toys back.

He was giving us information that saved lives--!

Matt

Yeah, while he was taking lives. While he was taking over the city, you knew--

Well, what the hell are you doing?! I thought you were my lawyer!

Matt

I am your lawyer, Ray, but I can't do anything to help you if you don't answer this one simple question -- why didn't you blow the whistle when you watched your boss murder an agent?

...I don't know.

Matt

Or when you watched Dex walk in that church? You didn't say a goddamn word when he murdered a priest.

I don't know--

Matt

THEN WHY ARE WE HERE?!

BECAUSE I TOOK THE DAMN BAIT! Because I didn't want my son just to see me as an average federal employee...! I messed up. I destroyed my life. My family's life. And I would do anything to take it all back again.

Matt

Good. You tell that to the DA, and I can help you.

I hoped it'd be you.

Dex

Hi, Ray. Come on inside. Let's talk.

Come on, Dex. We both know you're a better liar than that. You want a private place to kill me.

Dex

You're in a tough spot, Ray. I get that. It sounds hard. Really hard.

When he's done with you, he'll bury you, too. You know that, right?

Dex

I'm doing fine. And you would be, too, if you hadn't opened your mouth.

It's not too late to turn things around, Dex. Fisk manipulated you, just like he did me and Tammy and everyone else. I can help you cut a deal with the DA. We can take him down, you and me. Two federal agents... like we were before.

Dex

[scoffs] No, that's not gonna happen, Ray. I'm more than a fed now. I feel more myself than I have in my whole life. Fisk gave me that.

As long as I'm alive, my family's at risk.

Dex

[points the gun at Nadeem] Let's go, Ray.

[last words] I'm not going anywhere with you, Dex. [sighs] Whatever you need to do... you do it here.
