"You really think that changed anything. You think one man in a silly little costume will make a difference."

―Wilson Fisk to Daredevil^[src]

Daredevil is the thirteenth and final episode of the first season of the Netflix exclusive television series Daredevil.

Synopsis

In the season finale, a boxed-in Fisk and a desperate Murdock, Foggy and Karen are forced to play their end games.

Plot

Matt Murdock and Karen Page attend Ben Urich's funeral presided over by Father Paul Lantom which is also attended by Mitchell Ellison. Page meets his widow Doris. Page is upset that Foggy Nelson has not shown up for the service and Murdock tells her that he is responsible for Nelson avoiding them.

Wilson Fisk is meeting with Leland Owlsley, his financial manager, to discuss James Wesley's death and some discrepancies Fisk has noticed with his money. Owlsley at first denies any responsibility but eventually reveals that he and Madame Gao were the ones responsible for Vanessa Marianna's poisoning. He then tells Fisk that he is leaving town and taking half of Fisk's money with him. To ensure his protection, Owlsley informs Fisk that he has kept Detective Carl Hoffman alive in the city, and if Owlsley is harmed, Hoffman will go to the authorities and implicate Fisk. However Fisk is so enraged by Owlsley's plot to kill Marianna that he attacks him and knocks him down an abandoned elevator shaft killing him. Fisk orders his men to find Hoffman.

Nelson finds Murdock at an old boxing gym he frequents and the two go to meet their friend Sergeant Brett Mahoney for information. While speaking to Mahoney, Murdock overhears a cop on Fisk's payroll discussing the orders to find Hoffman. Page, Nelson, and Murdock discover a hidden property on Silver and Brent's finance ledgers and figure it must be where Owlsley is stashing Hoffman.

Murdock puts on the mask and rescues Hoffman from Fisk's crooked cops, and escorts him to the 15th Precinct Police Station where he turns himself in to Sergeant Mahoney. Murdock and Nelson represent Hoffman as he gives the FBI everything on Fisk and his criminal enterprises. Everyone on Fisk's payroll is arrested, including Turk Barrett, Officer Corbin and other dirty cops, Parish Landman, Senator Cherryh, and Fisk's mole in the New York Bulletin: Ellison's secretary Caldwell. Fisk himself is arrested and taken into custody before news reporters. However he escapes custody after a shootout involving a group of armed men, one of them infiltrated inside the FBI truck transporting him.

Seeing the news of Fisk's escape, Murdock goes to see Melvin Potter and retrieves the new red suit he had made. Murdock locates Fisk before he can get out of the city and the two have a final showdown in an alleyway. Murdock is eventually able to knock Fisk unconscious and sees him taken into custody by Mahoney.

The press dub the masked man Daredevil. Murdock, Page, and Nelson celebrate as they hang a new Nelson and Murdock sign outside their office. Meanwhile, Fisk stares at the blank wall of his jail cell, while Daredevil goes out to patrol the city.
