At Coney Island, Turk
frantically runs to Eric Slaughter and his men, telling them that Daredevil is
coming after them. Slaughter chastises Turk for stupidly leading Daredevil
right to them and DD jumps down to easily take care of Slaughter’s men. Daredevil
then hears the astrotower rising behind him. Despite knowing it’s a trap, he
climbs up the tower, until the ride shoots down to squash him. Not only that,
but there are also gunmen on the nearby rollercoaster keeping him pinned down.
DD takes a daring leap and swings his way to safety, when Bullseye taunts him
over the loudspeakers and points out Black Widow tied to the rollercoaster,
ready to be barreled over by the ride!
Daredevil makes his way
over to Widow as Slaughter’s men continue to shoot at him. Daredevil gets close
to rescuing Widow and then swings right past, having realized it was a trap.
The ride slams into the now clearly fake Black Widow dummy, while in the arcade,
Bullseye curses that his plan didn’t work. He ties Black Widow to a circus
board while a knife-thrower named Cutter toys with her, purposely missing his
throws by mere centimeters. Meanwhile, Ben Urich visits the gym Jack Murdock
used to train at, asking questions. He talks to the old janitor and learns all
of the details he can about Jack and how he was killed after refusing to throw
a boxing match. The final bit of info that confirms his suspicions is learning
of the nickname the other kids used to tease Matt with when he was a kid:
Daredevil!
Back at Coney Island,
Daredevil interrogates Turk and learns Bullseye is in the arcade. There,
Bullseye orders Cutter to finish off Natasha, but she pulls some fancy moves to
trick him into throwing his knife so that it cuts her bonds! Natasha deals with
the grunts while Daredevil arrives and angrily lays into Bullseye. Bullseye
keeps Daredevil at a distance with expertly thrown baseballs, even catching
Daredevil’s own billy club and using it against him. Despite this, Daredevil
refuses to give up and turns the tables. Bullseye ends up with a gun pointed at
Daredevil, but Daredevil notices his fear and psyches Bullseye out, taunting
him that this hasn’t worked before and won’t now. Bullseye panics and demands
that Slaughter and his men finish off the heroes. Slaughter, however, states
that Daredevil has earned his respect and Bullseye cracks up, devolving into a
broken, muttering mess. Daredevil and Widow take Bullseye into custody, while
promising things will be different with Slaughter next time they meet!
