Daredevil Page #3

Synopsis: Fate deals young orphan Matt Murdock a strange hand when he is doused with hazardous waste. The accident leaves Matt blind but also gives him a heightened "radar sense" that allows him to "see" far better than any man. Years later Murdock has grown into a man and becomes a respected criminal attorney. But after he's done his "day job" Matt takes on a secret identity as "The Man Without Fear," Daredevil, the masked avenger that patrols the neighborhood of Hell's Kitchen and New York City to combat the injustice that he cannot tackle in the courtroom.

- Great. You should be very happy.

- Yeah, it's fantastic. He paid in fluke.

Fluke is a fish.

Did you know that? I didn't.

Mr. Lee is a good man

and doesn't have much money...

...and he fishes on weekends.

I guess it's...

I salsa dance on weekends, but I don't

shake my ass to pay my phone bill.

Will you pass the honey, please?

We need better clients.

I'm tired of pro bono cases.

What is your problem with our clients?

We have good, honorable clients.

What's your idea of better?

Define "better."

- What would be a better client?

- Better means rich and guilty, okay?

Law school taught us

to create a moral vacuum...

...so you can represent people

who aren't innocent.

- That was your best course, as I recall.

- You don't have a moral vacuum.

You are completely vacuum-less.

- What? What? Where? Where? Where?

- Front door. Not yet, soon.

Now.

Tell me.

- You want the truth?

- Absolutely.

She's hideous.

I don't know if it's a fungus

or some congenital birth defect...

...but as your attorney in this matter,

I advise you to take no further action.

- I'm sorry. Excuse me.

- Sure.

I was looking for some honey.

Could you help me out?

Right in front of you.

Well, could you be

a little bit more specific?

- What are you...?

- Blind? Yeah.

- I am so sorry.

- That's okay.

- Friend of yours?

- You know, I've never seen him before.

Matt Murdock.

- Nice to meet you, Matt Murdock.

- Nice to meet you.

I didn't get your name.

I didn't give it.

Some people have no compassion

for the handicapped.

Apparently not.

- Where you going?

- I'm gonna file an appeal.

We have to be in court by noon.

- 12:
00, Matt.

- I'll be there.

What do you want?

I just wanted to get your name.

I didn't want trouble.

Look...

...I don't like being followed.

So don't.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Wait a second. Take it easy.

I don't like being touched.

Why don't you tell me what you do like,

and we'll start there.

Sure you're blind?

Sure you don't wanna

tell me your name?

- You're holding back.

- Yes.

Don't.

Does every guy have to go through this

to find out your name?

Try asking for my number.

- Fight!

- Fight! Fight! Fight!

Stop hitting me.

Okay.

My name's Elektra Natchios.

- What's wrong, Wesley?

- Have you seen the papers today?

Somebody's been talking.

Somebody always does.

Natchios, my dear, old friend.

I'm getting out, Wilson.

I am out.

You think it's funny?

They're writing about the Kingpin.

They're going back to the beginning.

Well, I'm tired of looking

over my shoulder.

I want to put that behind me.

I want you to buy me out.

I think you'll find

it's a very generous offer.

So, what do you say?
