- "Maybe that was God's plan all along. Why he created him, allowed him to fall from grace: To become a symbol to be feared, a warning to us all to tread the path of the righteous."
- ―Paul Lantom to Matt Murdock
The Path of the Righteous is the eleventh episode of the first season of the television series Daredevil.
Synopsis[]
Fisk and Murdock wrestle with the consequences of their chosen paths, while Ben and Karen get closer to Fisk's true past.
Plot[]
All night long, Wilson Fisk has sat in the hospital; three people have died from the same poison that Vanessa Marianna had ingested and the doctors have yet to give word on her condition. James Wesley tells Leland Owlsley that he needs him to watch the finances of the Hand and to make sure that Madame Gao is alright since both are suspects as to who could have been behind the poisoning.
Foggy Nelson awakens in the bed of Marci Stahl; she tells him to lock up whenever he leaves, and that she cares nothing for the drama between him and Matt Murdock that brought him there.
Murdock gets his stitches repaired by Claire Temple; she tells him that she will be there for him if he needs her medically, but she is leaving the city for a while. She suggests that Murdock get some body armor if he still plans on saving the city.
To that end, Murdock finds and extracts information from Turk Barrett and learns about Melvin Potter. Murdock infiltrates Potter's workshop and, after a brief scuffle, convinces him to make a suit for him.
Meanwhile, Marlene Vistain calls for her son, who is too busy watching over Marianna, who is in a medically induced coma to heal from the poison, to answer; Wesley returns the call and learns that Karen Page and Ben Urich visited her the previous night.
After finding Nelson in Josie's Bar, refusing to discuss why he and Murdock are not speaking, Page calls Urich and thanks him for being someone she can call. On her way to her apartment, Wesley abducts her and takes her to a warehouse. There he threatens Page with the deaths of all of her associates and family if she does not retract her negative feelings about Fisk. Wesley places Francis' gun on the table to keep her attention; however, when his phone rings, Page picks up the gun and ultimately kills Wesley with it. Page then takes the gun and runs off. Meanwhile, Fisk, who is in Marianna's hospital room attempting to contact Wesley, is unable to reach him as Wesley's phone continues to ring.
