It's finale time as Derek and John get together to discuss every minute of Daredevil Born Again Episode 9 "Straight to Hell". A fantastic and shocking episode that sets our expectations at an all time high for season 2.Directed by Jason Benson & Aaron MoorheadWritten by Dario Scardepane & Heather BellsonDaredevil Born Again Episode 9 "Straight To Hell" SynopsisA year before the assassination attempt at Mayor Fisk’s Black and White Ball, Vanessa visits Benjamin Poindexter in a mental hospital and asks him to kill Nelson—who is working on a case which could expose her activities at Red Hook—in exchange for his freedom. In the present, Poindexter escapes the ball and Murdock is hospitalized. Fisk reveals to Vanessa that he knows she orchestrated Nelson's death. Meanwhile, to drive chaos after the attempt on his life Fisk cuts off the power to New York City and orders Cashman to kill Murdock at the hospital, but Murdock escapes to his apartment, where he finds Frank Castle, who was asked by Page to protect Murdock after learning of Poindexter’s escape. Murdock and Castle respectively incapacitate and kill all the task force AVTF officers except Cole North, who is revealed as Ayala's murderer. Murdock resists killing him, but him and Frank Castle must rapidly escape the apartment after a grenade is dropped by one of the surviving officers. The pair reunite with Karen Page and Matt and Karen reconnect while they track down Foggy's case notes in storage, discovering that the Fisks are trying to establish a city-state in Red Hook. Meanwhile, the Punisher fights the AVTF in Red Hook but is defeated; Powell tries to convince him to join them, but Castle rejects him. Fisk's campaign director Sheila Rivera exposes Gallo's attempt to undermine Fisk, leading him to brutally kill Gallo. The next day, with power and order restored to NYC, in a speech, Fisk declares martial law and outlaws vigilantism. Murdock reunites Cherry, Kim, and other police officers to save the city, while Fisk imprisons vigilantes in Red Hook, including Jack Dukane and Frank Castle. In a mid-credits scene, Castle tricks a prison guard and begins to break free.Daredevil Born Again Episode 9 CastCharlie Cox - Matt Murdock/DaredevilVincent D'Onofrio - Wilson FiskAyelet Zurer - Vanessa FiskMargarita Levieva - Heather GlennMichael Gandolfini - Daniel BlakeGenneya Walton - BB UrichClark Johnson - CherryWilson Bethel - Benjamin Poindexterwith Jon Bernthal as Frank CastleAnd Deborah Ann Woll as Karen PageJosie's Bar QuizDuring each podcast we'll ask a question about each episode in our Daredevil Born Again Josie's Bar Quiz.
