Daredevil quotes

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.

Foggy

Matt, please--

Matt

No. We tried it your way.

Fisk

I never knew that I could feel this way until the day that we met. I didn't think that I was capable, that there would be someone... that I would care for more than my own life. That her happiness would be more important than anything else. And then... the terrifying thought occurred to me that perhaps my feelings were a trick. The self-deception of a vain man. That the only reason why I love you is because of the way I see my reflection in your eyes. That thought, it fills me with dread. The fear that... That I don't deserve you. And that I am broken!

Vanessa

Don't you understand we're all broken? The point is to find the person whose broken pieces fit with yours.

Karen

It's, uh-- It's not murder if it's self-defense, right?

Foggy

Technically, plotting to kill someone is the exact legal opposite of self-defense.

Daredevil

I have a question: Did you enjoy the feeling you got when you killed those birdies?

Dex

"Birdies"?

Daredevil

The ones you killed with rocks. Bet it felt good at first, right? Then it's never the same after that. What do you think Doctor Mercer would say if she could see you now?

Dex

Can you hang on a second? I need a tissue for all the tears I'm crying over my shitty childhood.

[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]

Daredevil

Police are on their way up. You need to shut down the elevators.

Why?

Daredevil

So nobody stops me.

Fisk

I will never stop hunting Karen Page or Foggy Nelson. I will tell the world who you really are.

Vanessa

Wilson.

Fisk

Vanessa, please go! Please!

Daredevil

[grunting] You... You... You want me to kill you.

Fisk

No prison can keep me. You know that. COME ON, KILL ME!

Daredevil

NO! God knows I want to, but you don't get to destroy who I am! You will go back to prison, and you will live the rest of your miserable life in a cage, knowing you'll never have Vanessa, that this city rejected you. It beat you. I BEAT YOU! [unmasks himself] You'll keep my secret, and you won't harm Karen Page or Foggy Nelson or anyone else. Because if you do, I will go after your wife. [Fisk snarls softly] And I will prove Vanessa ordered the murder of Agent Ray Nadeem, and like her husband, she'll spend the rest of her life in a cell. [masks himself]

Fisk

[to Vanessa] I failed you. I failed you.

Vanessa

No.

Fisk

Everything that I tried to build for us... Vanessa... today was the happiest day of my life.

Vanessa

[approaches Fisk] All I wanted was you. Please.

Fisk

[to Daredevil] If I agree to your demands, then... you leave my wife alone! You leave Vanessa free!

Daredevil

If you keep your word.

Fisk

[shakes Daredevil's hand] Then, it's a deal.

Matt

Last time we spoke, I confronted Father Lantom. I was angry. I'd change that if I could.

Maggie

If God allowed that, there'd be no future. Just people endlessly rewriting the past.

Matt

Yeah. I think he was trying to tell me that for a long time. His last words were, "Forgive us."

Maggie

Do you think that's possible?

Matt

He told me something, years ago, when this happened, that I never forgot. See, I was pretty angry at God and bitter towards his world. How could a loving God blind me? Why? Anyway, he told me... God's plan is like a beautiful tapestry. And the tragedy of being human is that we only get to see it from the back. With all the ragged threads and the muddy colors. And we only get a hint at the true beauty that would be revealed if we could see the whole pattern on the other side... as God does.

Matt

Feels like half of Hell's Kitchen is here today to say goodbye to Father Paul Lantom. Seems fair. He certainly welcomed everyone here, Catholic or not. And he expected those of us who were to, uh, look for ways to do good in our community. Not even the kids got out of that requirement. I'm sure I'm not the only one who remembers his "suggestion" that we give some of our First Communion money to the poor box. And that was his way. To think of the community, and the, uh... and the individuals in it. To think in terms of, "What can I give?" He gave his life, right here in this church, protecting others. Standing up to a man who used fear as a tool to set neighbors against one another. If Father Lantom had an enemy, I would say it was fear. For me, personally, he spent many years trying to get me to face my own fears. To understand how they enslaved me, how they divided me from the people that I love. He counseled me to transcend my fears, to be brave enough to forgive... and see the possibilities of being a man without fear. That was his legacy. And now it's up to all of us to, uh, live up to it.
