Clinton Church . Hell's Kitchen

 'Bless me Father, for I have sinned'. It's been ... too long since my last confession. My father used to come to this church when I was a child. He was a fighter, a boxer of the old school, he lost more than he won with a 24:31 record before you . But he could take a punch. Jesus he could take a punch "

"Word" Father Lantom admonished Murdock .

"Sorry Father" Murdock quickly apologised to the priest . He continued . "Yes the guys he was up against said I was like punch an oak . Lights when he was outmatched my dad's strategy was to let him hit him until they broke his arms " Lawyer smiled . " I was never knocked out , my dad I am knocked out for sure , but he always got back up as long as on his feet when he lost . Every now and then though " Murodck paused . He took a breath and continued . " Every now and then and he would get a bump and ....something inside him and snap . My grandmother was a true Catholic , the fear of God brandy Buda liked her . She used to say 'Watch out for the Murdock boys , they have the devil in ' . Yes , and you sometimes in the ring . His eyes are dead . He'd start walking forward really slow , his hands are like he's not afraid of anything .... And another guy hates that he would see that look and try to get away from him .....My daddy's caught him in and trapped in the corner ......Let the devil out ......I didn't understand what he was feeling deep inside I didn't understand .... Not then . " He finished

"But now you understand it. Maybe it will be easier if you tell me what you did " Father Lantom said. Murdock picked up his red glasses and put them on.

 "I'm not seeking atonement for what I did, Father.... I'm asking for forgiveness for what I'm about to do."

"That's not how it works. What exactly are you going to do? ' - asked Lantom. Murdock remained silent . He soon got up and left the church. 

Later. 

The three men stood in front of the container . They were dressed in navy blue tracksuits with three stripes. On their heads were grey caps . They were armed with pistols and baseball bats . They were looking at a group of young women .

"Look lads  . What beautiful pieces we have  . If we sell them, we'll make a nice profit. " One of them said

"Oy! Oy! Oy! Can't you talk you foockin' bitch? Oy! Can't you move your feet either? ' One of the thugs poked a woman with a baseball bat . The leader of the group approached him.

"Give her a break Mickey boy. You'll be pissed off in no time and it'll be over the goods" He admonished him . Mike put his bat down . He took from his pocket a packet of cigarettes . He took a cigarette and lit it , calming himself down .

"Please , don't hurt us " One of the women pleaded . One of the gangsters took a gun in his hand and aimed it at the woman

"Shut the fock up! Because I will kill you! Do you hear what I'm sayin! " He shouted at her .

"Hey" a voice said . One of the gangsters turned around and saw a figure dressed in a black costume. On his head was a black bandana covering his eyes and nose . Soon the figure knocked the gangster to the ground with a swift blow . The rest of them took their baseball bats and rushed at him . The masked vigilante dodged the blows . Finally he launched a counter . He punched the gangster in the stomach and corrected with a kick to the face . He then knocked the last opponent to the ground and beat him into unconsciousness . He soon finished beating the last criminal. He heard the horror of the women . He came closer and said

"Head towards 48th. Stay in the lights. Flag down the first officer you see. Now!" He shouted . Then One of the gangsters got up and started shooting at the vigilante . The warrior quickly dodged the shots . He approached the thug and used his leg to kick the gun out of his hand  then stunned him. He  moved away from the scene . 

 Next day . Matt Murddock's apartament. 

Matt slept on his comfortable bed after yesterday's action . He dreamt of the days of his childhood . Going blind , learning how to live without sight , sewing up his father after losing a fight . Then the dream turned into a nightmare . The despair of losing his father , the acceptance that he no longer had a parent . Living in an orphanage and training hard with the mysterious Stick. Murdock awoke in horror . Sweat appeared on his forehead . His heart began to beat hard . He began to catch his breath quickly . 

'Foggy , Foggy , Foggy' His phone began to pronounce the nickname of his best and only friend . Franklin Nelson a.k.a Foggy . Murdock took the phone and answered the call .

"Hello?"

"Wake up sunshine . Time to get your ass out of bed. Time to get to work." Foggy said.

"But how? We don't have an office , clients ....

"I have calmly arranged everything . We have an office . I have negotiated a good price . Our office needs a little renovation , but rest assured my brother and his team will take care of it . As far as clients are concerned . I already taking care of that . " he explained

"Please , just not those cigars for Brett's mummy." Murdock grabbed his head.

"Not this time my dear  . I'm going to go round the police stations . Maybe someone needs our help."

"And who are we supposed to help. The homeless man who stole a slice of pizza "

"Better than some serial killer" Murdock smiled " Ok Matt I'll be finishing up I'm getting close . I'll call you if I have anything.

"Okay Foggy. I'm going to take a shower . See you later "

"Sure. Avocados at law spring into action!" Foggy hung up . Matt got out of bed and headed for the bathroom. 

Ben Urich . The New York Bulletin newspaper legend looked up at the sky thinking . He has been in the business for many years . He has written many articles for the newspaper . Hulk's confrontations with Abomination , the Battle of New York , the Teachers Union scandal , spilling toxins into the river , bribes from veterans affairs and the arrest of known members of the Italian Mafia . He was still hungry , wanted more history writing . He was bored by the questions 'What is the favourite colour of New Yorkers?' or 'Which sport is the most popular , Basketball or Baseball?' . He sipped his coffee leaning against the bonnet of his car . 2000 Buick Century 

Soon a mystery car arrived and parked next to Urich . An old man dressed in a light green suit got out of the car . Urich turned around . He put down his coffee and approached the old man .

"Silvio" Urich greeted him by shaking his hand . Silvio did the same.

"Urich . I see , you are holding up well" Silvo said.

"Do you have any news for me?" Urich asked. Salvio turned around. He walked closer to the railing and put his hands in his pockets. He looked at the sun. 

"I remember a time" he began " I remember a time , when there were no heroes , no aliens and no big spaceships. The criminal underworld had nothing to worry about. Nobody cared what anyone did , did or killed . People only cared about going home after a hard day's work." 

"You didn't come here to give any monologues did you?" Urich interrupted. The former gangster turned to him.

"And then you turn up. Ben Urich . Son of a bitch over sons of bitches . Young still thirsty to solve new puzzles. As if nothing interests him . What did he do? With one swipe you beat the mobs . Rigoletto and the rest including me get arrested . All the newspapers were going after him and me like a bitch . Not one. New York Bulletin. I finally get out of jail and what do I do? I go to the headquarters of this newspaper and establish a partnership with you" Silvio finished. Urich finished his coffee .

"But what about Rigoletto? What about him? Has he retired? " Urich inquired.

"Yeah, In pieces. There's a new player in town . He's powerful . He has a lot of contacts . He's hiding in the shadows. He wants to build the Empire on the old ruins," Silvo said.

"Name . Give me a name." Urich begged.

"Sorry Benny . I can't. I have advice for you . Get over it . Retire . Spend time with your wife . I'm going to Florida. I want to put the past behind me. Goodbye, Ben. It was nice," Silvo went to his car. He drove off, leaving Urich alone. 

A few hours later. Police station 

Matt Murdock arrived at the place where he was supposed to meet Foggy . He learned that his partner had found a person in need of a lawyer. He paid the taxi driver and left the vehicle. With the help of his cane he reached the building . Moments later he heard the voice of Officer Brett Mahoney .

"Murdock!" He called out "Your partner is waiting for you".

"I know, what's the matter?" He asked

"Homicide. Page Karen. Today we found her with a bloody knife in her hand. She was kneeling next to her victim. She says it wasn't her. We believe she is mentally ill. " Mahoney explained

"Will you lead me?"

"Sure" Brett took Murdock by the arm and headed with him to the interrogation room.

They soon arrived at the scene. Foggy got up from the bench and walked over to them.

"I'm glad you're here Matt" He smiled.

"So this is our first case." Murdock said.

"What are we waiting for? Let's go in" Nelson grabbed the handle opening the door . Murdock went in first . Mahoney turned and walked out . Nelson entered and closed the door behind him . They then sat down opposite Ms Page 

Foggy: Good morning Mrs Paige. Franklin Nelson

Matt: Matt Murdock . lawyers .

F: We are here to, help you.

M: You are charged with murder.

F: In cold blood

M: You say you didn't do it.

F: Because the victim was a colleague of yours. Union Alied. 

"Since when are you lawyers? "Page asked in surprise. 

M: Foggy?

F: Since we came into this room.

M: This is our first major case.

F: Please tell us what happened?

" We met at the bar, we had a few drinks, and I don't know what happened after that. It wasn't me, please, please you have to believe me. I didn't kill him." Page pleaded. 

M:"I believe you, Miss Page.  That's it for today"

F: We will come back to you. Me and my partner will work on it." Foggy opened the door and he and Murdock left the room.
