MATT. “All part of God’s plan.” What a beautiful phrase. Kind of covers it all.
Dark. Light. Don’t get yourself bothered. It’s all God’s plan. Nothing
you could have done about it in any case. I understand the attraction. It’s a
nice bit of hand-waving. A catchall that pushes aside the necessity for deeper
examination of responsibility.
MATT. Rage. It’s everywhere in this city. People are terrified. Of what’s
happened, of what might happen. Everyone is everyone’s enemy. Anyone who
needs help is weak. They can’t let themselves be weak. Not in this
world. They tell themselves they’re strong. They’re just afraid.
DAREDEVIL. You’re here for a reason. This is the path you’ve been set. This is
all part of the plan. God can be cruel, but he is not foolish. He would not
waste his warrior on ones such as these. You will not die here today.
DAREDEVIL. New York City is a predator. I can hear it. Stalking, feeding,
digesting. Worse now than it ever was in the old days. So many people turning
their fear into other people’s pain. […] Corner of 49th and Sixth. A
aman’s going to die. Broad daylight, and no one’s even looking.
BULLSEYE. No matter how much we lost, no matter how bad it got, we’d put it all
back together, so we’d be ready for the next thing. And when that came, a
noble few would fight, and most of you would watch. Some of the fighters and
a lot of the watchers would die. Some would live. A little different each time.
Hope and despair swirling all around. It was like some kind of ballet, I
swear to god. You wouldn’t believe the good that was the done, the evil. We were
the best, and we were the worst. But now it’s all just gray. I can’t
stand it. I can’t stand it!
DAREDEVIL. Dad. Karen. Elektra. Kirsten. Milla. Sam. All the others. So many.
Too many. For every joy, a greater loss. Am I just another Job? Or was there
a lesson I was supposed to learn? Was it just hot to keep going? It that’s
all, then I was a good student. My body’s ripped apart. Mouth’s full of blood.
Fingers shredding. The only reason I’m still climbing is because I refuse to
fall. I don’t know why I’ve had this life. But whatever your intentions, the
lessons I learned ended up being very simple. There is always more pain. There
is always more light.
