corruption murder scandal and he's like yeah that's what I love to do I one day she's attacked by some thugs but foggy comes in to save the day so she brings him on the mystery and they're like oh we just don't know who's at the top so daredevil pays a visit to Benton and he doesn't have any proof to get Fisk arrested but he has enough to write a good expose article since he hates people saying his name but just then fist goes on live TV and exposes themselves he comes across as a really good guy and he's like my name is Wilson Fisk so the articles totally pointless and daredevil is pissed now know whose main goal is to get the apartment building that they're trying to take the old Spanish woman out of and because she refused sleeve they have her killed by a junkie they make it look like a mugging daredevil tracks down the junkie he finds Madame GAO's question mark heroin he gets the information out of him goes to a warehouse where there's nobody except Nobu dressed as a literal ninja daredevil like that's a little cheesy don't you think but there's nothing cheesy about Nobu sharp twirling weapon because he's all like boom cut and who cut again and turtles get all cut up and totally beaten but then he managed to deflect this into light and there was gasoline on the floor from the barrel so cool he sparked him up and he liked Nobu burns alive ouch but Justin Fisk shows up and he's like biggie I hope you and Nobu would kill each other dead I was like I'm gonna punch her in the face I'm gonna kill you right now man but first he's like yo I am a big strong dude and you're all cut up right now he tries to cut this but he's wearing like armor suit what that's cool anyway he beats up daredevil he's like I'm done with him you guys just shoot him but he manages to escape out the window ho town into the river he makes it back to his apartment where foggy happens to be so foggy learns that his best friend Matt is daredevil and after this foggy becomes extremely annoying
