After receiving a tip
from an informant, Daredevil heads to Josie’s Bar to interrogate a lowlife
named Pike. He grills Pike about any information he may have about a shipment
of adamantium that was recently stolen and is set to be smuggled into New York.
While Daredevil deals with the rest of the bar, he lets Pike go, who
unwittingly leads Daredevil back to his accomplices. When Pike warns them that
Daredevil is on to them, Daredevil also overhears that the stolen adamantium is
set to be delivered to Glenn Industries, much to his shock! Over at said
company, the board of directors discuss a mystery client who wishes to purchase
their New Jersey electronics plant, for some not-so-legal purposes.
Heather Glenn discovers
the meeting and they feign innocence until Daredevil arrives, revealing they’re
dealing in stolen goods. Heather remembers how Daredevil was the reason her
father was arrested for a crime he didn’t commit, before he took his own life,
causing her to throw Daredevil out. The next day, Matt is still sore about the
whole ordeal and snaps at Foggy when he returns to their law office with his
truly garish wedding tuxedo. Meanwhile, Heather, having cooled off, decides to
investigate her company’s records and is grabbed by some very recognizable
tentacles! At his apartment, Matt is alerted that something may be wrong with
Heather after she stood up her current boyfriend, Rico. Black Widow offers to
help Matt, but he says he has to do this alone, making Natasha realize that
Matt truly loves Heather and not her.
Daredevil heads to the
wharf where the stolen shipment of adamantium is being delivered and finds Pike
and his accomplices attempting to rip it off. Daredevil deals with them until
all present are surprised by the sudden arrival of Doctor Octopus, there to
acquire the shipment for himself! Doc Ock easily overpowers Daredevil and holds
him underwater, just waiting for him to drown. Daredevil realizes his only
chance is to play dead and goes limp to make Ock think he’s drowned as he
drifts off after eventually being released. Some time later, the police drag
Daredevil out of the water and he suddenly sputters to life and takes off after
Ock once more!
At the New Jersey Glenn Industries plant, Doctor Octopus reveals to Heather that he is the mystery
client, there to use the plant to construct new adamantium arms for himself!
The lights suddenly go out and Daredevil arrives, just as Doc Ock turns on the
emergency generators. Daredevil does his best to avoid Ock’s tentacles and gets
a few hits in but quickly finds himself overwhelmed. Doc Ock has Daredevil
pinned, toying with him until Heather cuts herself free from her bonds and
slashes at Doc Ock’s face with a shard of broken glass! This causes him to
release Daredevil, who then goads Doc Ock into recklessly attacking him,
causing Ock to hit the high voltage line Daredevil felt behind him,
electrocuting him. Daredevil turns off the power before Doc Ock is killed and
his sentient tentacles carry the unconscious Ock off. Matt tends to Heather and
the two reignite their love for each other. This is also seen by the secret
arrival of Black Widow which prompts her to leave New York, feeling there’s
nothing left to keep her there anymore.
