Welcome back fans of the Devil to Day 3
of TV Episode Daredevil. A quick mention that Season 2 has been
ordered up and I for one cannot wait to see them try to top Season 1.
That being said, this time around we find Nelson & Murdock have
a difficult case ahead of them as they have been asked to represent a
John Healy who on the whole, looks like self defense against a local
mob boss and his crew. Is it on the up and up? Will justice
prevail? This is Daredevil: Rabbit in a Snowstorm.

| A priest and a vigilante go into a bar... |
After the severe butt whipping of last
episode, Matt meditates, heals up and puts on his suit and tie to
face the day as lawyer of Nelson & Murdock. Matt and Foggy are
visited by James Wesley (Toby Leonard Moore of The Pacific,
Underbelly, Mortal Kombat: Rebirth, John Wick and True Dead),
Wilson Fisk's right hand man representing Fisk on the QT, offers them
an obscene check to represent John Healy (Alex Morf of The Good
Wife, Tin Man, Elementary, and In Dubious Battle) a man
charged with premeditated murder of a mob boss. Foggy is a bit
concerned about Healy but ultimately Matt wins him over with pointing
out their young firm may have to represent some scum now and then.
Matt gets the vibe from Healy that he is not on the up and up and in
fact a mob enforcer but shows the court room the facts of the case
which is pretty apparent he is going to walk.

Later meeting back up with Healy in his
back garb and throwing cowboy with him, Healy gives up his employer's
name, Wilson Fisk. He then tells Matt that he is a dead man for
talking and his whole family and friends will be wiped out before
they get to him. To prevent that from happening, Healy offs himself.
Matt has to deal with the balance of following the law and
operating as a vigilante at the same time and it is clearly eating
away at him.
With Union Allied safely dispersed and
hidden under a new name, the conglomerate representing them contacts
Karen, telling her they will not pursue legal charges given she broke
her non-disclosure agreement (You know, in spite of the fact of
attempts on her life twice) and is offered 6 months salary in the
form of a big, stinky check for her... inconvenience.
Taken back by this, Karen seeks out
harden and dogged newspaper man Ben Ulrich (Vondie Curtis-Hall
of Die Hard 2, Chicago Hope, Romeo + Juliet, Broken Arrow, Life is
Hot in Cracktown and Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans)
as she spills that there has to be more going on with the former
Union Allied, a paper trail leading to the people responsible for
Daniel Fisher's murder and the embezzlement of millions. Sensing the
story and how deep the rabbit hole will go, Ben tries to discourage
Karen in pursuing this obviously dangerous line of inquiry but not
sure if he got through to her.
Fisk making all the moves from the
shadows is now finding some artwork for his penthouse tower that
captivates and moves him. He finds not only a painting but the
lovely gallery director Vanessa (Ayelet Zurer of Munich,
Vantage Point, Ingenious, Angels & Demons, Man of Steel and Last
Knights) who almost instantly captivates him. We see him
exhibit humanity in a otherwise cold exterior. Tensions run high in
the underworld. Is Murdock making that many waves? Will Fisk and
company come at him hard? What about the growing closeness of Foggy
and Karen?
A few facts on the show now. The
character Ben Ulrich is a white guy in the original comic and no one
should lose their mind over a talented actor handling the role. The
model of pistol in the crates is a Heckler & Koch P30 which can
be a 9mm Parabellum (German caliber created by Georg Luger)
or a 40. caliber S& W. The bowling alley this episode was film
at was Whitestone Bowling Lanes in Flushing, NY. I guess due to the
lack of harsh lighting in the joint. I mean have you ever seen a
bowling alley with that tame of lighting before?
