Episode Synopsis:

As Karen Page's trial continues, Matt Murdock calls his first witness, Mayor Wilson Fisk. Matt presents the video testimony of the late Christofi Savva, who confirms that the Captain scuttled the ship on the orders of the Mayor because Daredevil was aboard and found the illegal weapon shipment. 

District Attorney Hochburg pushes to disregard the testimony of Christofi because he isn’t in the courtroom, so Matt reveals that he is Daredevil. He corroborates the testimony and gets the case dismissed since the entire programme from the Anti-Vigilante Task Force, to the safer streets act, to the court itself was set up to divert attention from the criminal Wilson Fisk. 

Outside the courtroom Bullseye foils Mayor Fisk’s backup plan by stopping the AVTF officers from assassinating Murdock. Instead Bullseye takes a shot at Fisk, but hits Buck Cashman. 

The attack prompts Fisk to lock down the courthouse. With his AVTF standing guard, Daredevil's supporters surround the building, encouraged by BB Urich to rise up in memory of all their friends and neighbours lost to the AVTF and Fisk’s laws so far.

As the threats from Officer Powell escalate, Cole North finally turns on him as he becomes disillusioned with his orders to kill retired detective Cherry. He lets the resistance into the courthouse as the Attorney General of New York state offers Fisk a deal to avoid charges. But, unwilling to step down, Wilson Fisk attacks and kills numerous protestors.

Eventually Daredevil, Jessica Jones and Angela DelToro fight their way through the AVTF officers until they reach Fisk. Matt eventually convinces Fisk to take the deal.

In the aftermath, Fisk leaves New York, the AVTF officers are arrested, Heather Glenn continues to spiral as she puts on Muse's mask and Jessica Jones reunites with Luke Cage, as Bullseye has replaced him in Mr. Charles's service. At the New York Bulletin BB Urich is hired by Mitchell Ellison and given a box of her uncle Ben’s reports to welcome her to the team.

As Matt Murdock and Karen Page fantasize about living a normal life together Matt is arrested and imprisoned for his actions as Daredevil.
