Detective North inspires a few police officers to defy their orders to stay out of Hell's Kitchen, but most of them are killed when Bullseye's crew starts shooting. Confronted by the rampaging Rhino in a neighborhood church, Sister Elizabeth recalls her long-buried persona of Typhoid Mary. Matt and North work together to help where they can, but it's the everyday people of Hell's Kitchen, inspired by the missing Daredevil, who rise up and fight back, though some lose their lives. Matt finally realizes the true power of his alter ego and takes back the Daredevil name as he faces Bullseye alone.
