Ray Nadeem

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

- Ray Nadeem to Matt Murdock

Rahul "Ray" Nadeem was the Special Agent of the FBI whose attempts to provide a comfortable life for his family had led him to taking on the case of Wilson Fisk, supplying Fisk with his demands in exchange for damning evidence on other crime syndicates. However, when Nadeem's investigations led him to looking into Benjamin Poindexter's true connection with Fisk, he then discovered that Fisk had already taken over much of the FBI, and forced Nadeem to become an unwilling pawn. In his final efforts to bring down Fisk's criminal empire, Nadeem turned to Nelson and Murdock to give up evidence in court, however when this failed, Nadeem recorded his final confession which leaked online, before he allowed Poindexter to kill him.

Early Life

Manipulated by Kingpin
"There's no way out, Ray. Fisk's had you marked for more than a year." "What do you mean, had me marked?" "Why do you think your sister-in-law lost health coverage? He made you desperate for this job."

Deferred Reviews
"Your reviews have been deferred for reasons having nothing to do with scheduling or restructuring or whatever bullshit I fed you at the time. It's because I'm trying to protect you." "Protect me?" "Do you have any idea what your FICO score is? 557. Your FICO score is 557." "So it's not stellar. You know, I–" "You're buried in debt, and that makes you a recruitment target. It's Bureau policy not to promote someone with that level of vulnerability."

Fisk Detail
"You tell D.C. that none of this could have happened without the unexpected connection between me and Wilson Fisk. Because that's the truth. And then none of the other shit in my file will matter. Come on, Tammy. How am I supposed to get out from under?" "Okay, he's yours. But you need to keep him talking, Ray."

Interrogating Karen Page
"Well, instead of letting Fisk use you and the FBI to retaliate against innocent lawyers who put him in prison, why don't you ask him if he hired a fixer named Felix Manning to launder money through Red Lion? Ask him if he's the true owner of a shell company called Vancorp." "Why would I do that?" "Because it just bought the Presidential Hotel." "Where are you getting this from?" "I ask questions for a living. I just ask better ones than you do."

Interrogating Foggy Nelson
"With all due respect, I think you have Matt Murdock all wrong." "Yeah, well, uh, I don't think I do. I think Matt Murdock is hiding a double life. Lawyer by day and criminal by night. And you and Ms. Page both know all about it. It makes you uncomfortable. And complicit. And that's why you're no longer law partners or friends. Because once he's finally caught, you know you're on the hook as an accessory to his crimes. Or, if you're lucky, simply aiding and abetting."

Promotion
"Congratulations, Ray." "What?" "You were right. Your work with Fisk trumped your credit issues. The EAD approved your promotion."

Realization
"There's a damn good chance that Fisk is manipulating us." "If it's true, every asshole we put away with Fisk's help will be back on the street by morning. Everything we've done, the people we've lost, it will all be for nothing. You can't unring that bell. Just give me a chance to figure out if it's true."

Meeting Daredevil
"Who are you?" "I'm Daredevil. The real one." "You don't look like–" "I buried the red suit. The man who attacked the Bulletin, he resurrected it." "You do, however, match the description of a guy who's been tuning up FBI agents." "Which is the last thing I ever wanted, but you people haven't left me any choice. If you'd just wake the hell up instead of playing right into Fisk's hands. He's using you, and I think you know it."

Investigating Poindexter
"We're gonna slip into his place. Look for any evidence that ties him to the Bulletin attack or to Fisk. If we find any, we leave it where it is. And we set off his fire alarm on our way out." "The fire department arrives, and you circumvent a search warrant." "But if we don't find anything... the guy goes on with his life." "Spit it out. Who is he?" "Special Agent Ben Poindexter."

Betraying Kingpin
"Listen to me very carefully. If we take Karen Page into custody, she'll be dead before she reaches HQ. No, don't react. Just get her the hell away from us."

Allying with Daredevil
"If we're gonna get your family someplace safe, you're gonna have to trust me." "I can't trust anybody." "Well, I trust you. You saved Karen Page's life tonight. So I owe you one."

Testifying against Kingpin
"I took the damn bait! Because I didn't want my son to see me as just 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." "Good. You tell that to the DA, and I can help you."

A Dying Declaration
"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, the 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."
