Wesley assures Fisk that they will find him. They move on to Hoffman, who was supposed to give a follow-up statement following Blake’s death, but never showed up for it. None of it is of the kind that would hold up in court, or for publication, and all four try to put the pieces together, based on what they know about Leland Owlsley, James Wesley, Confederated Global (which is where Fisk gets most of his reported income), Westmeyer-Holt Contracting, and Armand Tully.ĭown at the docks, Fisk and Wesley discuss Fisk’s approval ratings, and a breakfast invitation from senator Cherryh’s office. Ben mentions all the material that the man in the mask brought to him, and that he is on their side in trying to expose Fisk. Matt walks in and he and Ben are formally introduced. The priest then tells him about his views on the topic while he was in seminary and how he, after his work during the genocide in Rwanda, came to believe that the devil does – to answer Matt’s question – walk among us, taking many forms.īen visits Karen and Foggy at the office, and they talk about the new developments in the wake of Fisk’s big announcement whereby he successfully managed to get out in front of the bad news they might have been able to use against him. Matt obviously has things weighing on his mind and is interested in Father Lantom’s thoughts on the devil. Matt declines the offer of confession, but decides to take the priest up on his previous offer of a latte. Matt is sitting on the bench outside church when Father Lantom comes walking along. All we know at this point is that Matt is not doing well, struggling against his most challenging adversary yet, in what appears to be an abandoned warehouse.Īfter the intro sequence plays, we cut to the morning of the day before (though you’d have to watch the entire episode to see how the whole timeline is set up).
For our first scene, that means that we begin near the end, chronologically speaking, with Matt in the middle of a brutal fight with Nobu, who has swapped his business attire for something red. This episode is told mostly in long flashbacks, with a few sneak peaks into the “future” of the here and now, until we catch up to that same “here and now” and the story unfolds from that point for the last ten minutes or so. Sorry for the delay, gang! Let’s get this show back on the road with Speak of the Devil.
