Look, I might generally be considered out of my skull, so this might not mean much, but this could be the craziest, most batshit thing I've ever heard in my life. People that can hurt you, the ones that can really hurt you, are the ones that are close enough to do it. People that get inside you and... and... and tear you apart, and make you feel like you're never gonna recover. shit. I'd... I... I would chop my arm off right here, in this restaurant, just to feel that one more time for my wife. My old lady, she didn't just break my heart. She... She'd rip it out, she'd tear it apart, she'd step on that shit, feed it to a dog. I mean, she was ruthless. She brought the pain. But she'll never hurt me again. You see, I'll never feel that. You sit here and you're all confused about this thing, but you have it. You have everything. So, hold on to it. Use two hands and never let go. You got it?
S1 E15Unfinished Business
I can't let you start a war for the wrong reasons.
Maybe a war is what I need. Maybe I need that. These people, they took my children from me! They killed my kids! Don't you get that?!
We do right by them! Help me. Work with me to find the men who gave the order!
And then what, Red? We gonna-- We gonna bring 'em in for justice, is that what we're gonna do? Your way's bullshit, Red, it doesn't work! I need 'em... I need 'em gone, it's gotta be permanent, it's gotta be finished!
I-- I understand. You're right; my way isn't working. So maybe just this once... Maybe... Y'know... Your way's what it's gonna take.
Wait, "just this once". No, no, no, Red, that's... that's not how it works. It's just... You cross over on my side of the line, you don't get to come back from that. Not ever.
That candle that you're burning at both ends? Sooner or later, it's gonna fizzle out.
I'm fine. Really.
You know the problem with martyrs? The good ones end up dead.
I see from the uniform you've taken the Devil's name to heart.
Yeah, I had to... 'cause of people like you.
Thanks, Madame Gao.
But I fear that the path you've chosen... isn't going to be an easy one.
Yeah, it never is.
You said we're going to war.
We are. And there'll be a time and place for you to turn yourself loose. But right now, the last thing you want is for everybody here to be scared shitless of you. Tame that fire... or they'll tame it for you.
You want me to help you save the man who ordered my death?
Yes.
You really do hate me.
It's painful, raising children. We spend our lives teaching them to be strong, to be independent. Not realizing that once we have achieved that... they are no longer in our control.
Look, look, Karen, Karen... I understand that this whole journalism thing is new to you, but a real journalist doesn't just up and quit.
Well, that's not fair.
That's exactly fair! Stories don't disappear, they... they change. They become different stories.
Hopefully you'll find our starting salary competitive.
That's one way to describe it.
It gets better. How does Hogarth, Chow, Benowitz & Nelson sound?
Like a mouthful. I mean, a good mouthful.
So, what if... What if... from now on, if... if we make it... wherever you run, I... I run with you?
You're not serious.
I've never been more serious. This... Elektra, this is a part of me that I need. And you're the only one who gets it. Without this, I'm not alive. I'm not. Not really. And I know that now, thanks to you. I don't know what we are together, and if we have any chance in the future... But I... I do know that I'm free with you. Like with no one else.
You hide from yourself. You don't let anyone in.
You. I let you in. Think about it. What if this isn't the end? What if it's just the beginning?
No... They'll find us.
No, we'll keep moving. We'll change identities. We'll... we'll hide. They'll never catch us. What do you say?
Uh, I say... let's go to London. Yeah? Madrid. Tunisia. There are sexy places to hide.
Hey, I've never been further north than 116th Street, so...
Because you love New York.
And I'd give my life for it, but... there's one thing in this world that makes me feel more alive. And that's you.
I'm the Black Sky, Matthew.
Yeah, and I'm the Devil of Hell's Kitchen.
No one... escapes destiny. [to Elektra] You belong to us. [to Daredevil] And you... belong in the ground. [yells]
You're done, Nobu. Your army will crumble. And you will leave my city alone.
Your city belongs to no one. And she... belongs to us!
Was it worth it?
What?
Loving her.
You taught me to cut all my ties to humanity... to other people. I had only a few moments with her... amidst all the... noise, chaos, and the violence. We were together only for moments. That was all. Orchids. She likes orchids. And, yeah, Stick... it was worth it.
Matt, you are the toughest son of a bitch I have ever met. Let's go home.
"What is it, to be a hero? Look in the mirror and you'll know." [sighs] [typing] "Look into your own eyes and tell me you are not heroic, that you have not endured, or suffered... or lost the things you care about most. And yet, here you are... a survivor of Hell's Kitchen... the hottest place anyone's ever known. A place where cowards don't last long. So... you must be a hero. We all are. Some more than others, but none of us alone. Some bloody their fists trying to keep the Kitchen safe. Others bloody the streets in the hope they can stop the tide, the crime, the cruelty... the disregard for human life all around them. But this is Hell's Kitchen. Angel or Devil, rich or poor, young or old, you live here. You didn't choose this town. It chose you. Because a hero isn't someone who lives above us, keeping us safe. A hero's not a God or an idea. A hero lives here on the street, among us, with us. Always here, but rarely recognized. Look in the mirror and see yourself for what you truly are. You're a New Yorker. You are a hero. This is your Hell's Kitchen. Welcome home.
