A mysterious man meets
with Eric Slaughter and his men, showing them a video of Daredevil fighting
Bullseye. The man hires them to study and kill Daredevil for the overall price
of $500,000! The next day, Matt Murdock and Foggy Nelson arrive at the
courthouse, while trying their best to dodge the press asking about Matt’s
recent kidnapping from last issue. Nearby, Ben Urich thinks to himself that
there’s more to Matt than meets the eye! Inside the courthouse, Matt and Foggy
ask for an extension on their current hearing and are given one week. Later, on
their way back to their law office, Matt and Foggy are accosted by Turk and
another grunt. Knowing that Daredevil has done investigative work for Nelson
and Murdock in the past, Turk threatens Matt to tell Daredevil to head to the
pier at midnight, where Mr. Slaughter would like a word with him.
At midnight, Daredevil
makes his way down to the pier. He gets close and stops, his senses alerting
him to the ambush of guys waiting to kill him. Daredevil dives into the water
in order to get a better vantage point and turns the tables on his would-be
attackers, ambushing them instead! Daredevil takes care of a few guys before
one knocks Daredevil and himself overboard. The rest open fire on the falling
duo, without a care for their compatriot. In the water, Daredevil kicks the now
dead thug holding him off of himself and swims back to the surface. Daredevil
surprises the group of thugs once more, while demanding to know who put the hit
out on him. Daredevil expertly disorients the thugs, taking them out one by one
with style and effectiveness.
Finally, only Turk
remains and Daredevil lunges down at him, knocking him out but causing Turk to
fire his gun directly next to Daredevil’s ear! This causes Daredevil intense
pain as his senses go all out of whack. He goes to confront the final man, who
had been set on the pier as a decoy. He doesn’t run, even though his senses are
still blurred, and the man points his gun at Daredevil and fires. Even with his
radar sense off, Daredevil impressively hits the bullet out of the air with his
club, before demanding answers from the man! Before he can talk, the man is
killed by a life preserver thrown by another man that Daredevil senses has been
recording the whole thing from a nearby boat. Later on, we see that the man
that initially hired Slaughter and his men, and the one who has recorded the
fight, was actually Bullseye himself! He plans to study the footage and when the
time is right, he’ll kill Daredevil once and for all!
The issue also contains a
one-page showcase on the ins and outs of Daredevil’s billy club.
