Hell’s Kitchen reels from The Muse’s violent art, but a new threat emerges from the shadows. A masked figure called Crimson Jack begins uniting local gangs, promising power and protection under one condition: loyalty to the death. As the city fractures, Matt Murdock struggles to keep up — his body battered, his mind restless. At Nelson & Murdock, Matt and Foggy Nelson represent families being pushed out of their homes by a real estate tycoon with ties to the underworld. Meanwhile, Karen Page digs deeper into The Muse’s past and discovers they were once a street artist who lost everything during Fisk’s reign.
By night, Daredevil tracks Crimson Jack, hoping to cut off the city’s descent into chaos. He finds Jack orchestrating a brutal gang initiation — forcing recruits to fight to the death. Matt intervenes, battling Jack’s crew in a savage street brawl. Jack, a towering figure with blood-red war paint, nearly overpowers Daredevil, but Matt manages to drive him off, collapsing in the alley as the gang scatters.
Back at his apartment, Matt stitches his wounds, listening to the city’s noise through his heightened senses. He hears sirens, distant screams, and the steady heartbeat of a city in pain. But he also hears something else: Fisk’s name whispered like a curse on the streets. The episode ends with Wilson Fisk, sitting in his prison cell, smiling as he watches a news report on Hell’s Kitchen’s rising violence. Even in chains, the Kingpin still holds the city in his grip — and he knows Daredevil is breaking.
The devil fights, but the king endures.
