Quotes 

• Karen Page : How long have you been practicing law?

  Matt Murdock : What time is it?

  Foggy Nelson : It's 12:22 AM.

  Matt Murdock : About seven hours.

  Foggy Nelson : Well, if you go from when we passed the bar...

  Matt Murdock : I was going from when we got our own desks.

  Foggy Nelson : Oh, then, yeah. Seven hours.

• Karen Page : Who the Hell are you guys?

  Matt Murdock : I'm Matt. He's Foggy.

  Karen Page : Who sent you?

  Matt Murdock : No one sent us.

  Karen Page : So, what? You're just a couple of Good Samaritans? Today's just my lucky day.

  Foggy Nelson : I bribed a desk sergeant with a box cigars for his mom.

  Matt Murdock : Our practice is relatively young, Miss Page, and we are aggressively pursuing new clientele. You gotta stop giving Bess cigars.

  Foggy Nelson : She likes to smoke, Matt. It's a free country.

• Karen Page : Can I ask a personal question?

  Matt Murdock : I haven't always been blind.

  Karen Page : I guess that's what everyone wants to know.

  Matt Murdock : That or "How do you come your hair?".

  Karen Page : How do you comb your hair?

  Matt Murdock : Honestly, you just... you hope for the best.

• Matt Murdock : [fighting a goon trying to kill Karen for the pension file]  I'll get this into the right hands.

  Karen Page : No, you can't. You can't take it to the police. You-you can't trust anyone.

  Matt Murdock : Then we tell everyone.

• Karen Page : [seeing a bright billboard outside Matt's apartment]  Holy shit.

  Matt Murdock : Went up a year ago. I'm told the co-op nearly rioted, some oversight from the developer's agreement. Upside is, nobody wanted it and I got a corner apartment at a hell of a discount.

• Matt Murdock : Tell me, how did you know Mr. Fisher?

  Karen Page : We worked together.

  Foggy Nelson : And your place of employment?

  Karen Page : Union Allied Construction. I'm a secretary. Daniel worked downstairs in Legal. I-I didn't know him very well. But he was always nice, you know? But it's hard to meet people in the city, so I-I asked him if he would have a drink with me.

  Matt Murdock : You asked him?

  Karen Page : Like I said, he was a nice guy. We met at the Three Roads bar on 49th Street. We had a few drinks, and the next thing that I remember is waking up on the floor of my apartment covered in blood. His blood.

  [seeing Foggy react] 

  Karen Page : No, I'm not stupid. I know how that sounds. But I am telling you we met at the bar. We had a few drinks. And I don't know what happened after that. It wasn't me. Please. Please, you have to believe me. I didn't kill him.

  Matt Murdock : [listening to her heartbeat]  I believe you, Ms. Page.

• Karen Page : I, uh, work... worked in the financial department at Union Allied. They're overseeing the bulk of the government contracts for the West Side reconstruction.

  Foggy Nelson : I've seen their signs all over Hell's Kitchen.

  Karen Page : The last two years have transformed the business. There's new owners, new grants, new contracts.

  Matt Murdock : Yeah, the world watched half of New York get destroyed. That's a lot of sympathy.

  Karen Page : And Union Allied benefited from every dollar of it. I was the secretary for the chief accountant. And one of my jobs... was to coordinate the pension claims for the company. About a week ago, I was e-mailed a file called "Pension Master". It must have been meant for my boss, but I made the mistake of opening it.

  Matt Murdock : I'm guessing it wasn't the pension fund.

  Karen Page : It wasn't the size of the pension fund. I couldn't believe the numbers. But it was still being designated as company pension. And it-it was constantly adjusted. Money coming in and-and money going out.

  Foggy Nelson : Going where?

  Karen Page : I don't know. It was coded routing numbers, but we are talking a lot of money.

  Matt Murdock : What did you do with the file?

  Karen Page : Well, I told my boss, Mr. McClintock, about it, and he laughed it off. He said that it was a theoretical model that they were screwing around with. I knew something was wrong. I just... I thought maybe it was just him, you know? Embezzling or whatever.

  Matt Murdock : So, how did Daniel Fisher figure into this?

  Karen Page : Danny worked in the legal department. And I didn't... I didn't know him very well. But he was nice, so I asked him to meet me after work. I don't know how they knew. They must have people watching me. They must have people everywhere. All I did was ask him for a drink. And I start to tell him about what I found and things got blurry. Like I-I was drugged. And the next thing I know, I wake up... back in my apartment, covered in blood. They killed him... because of me.

• Matt Murdock : Here's what I don't understand. I'm the man in charge of the pension funds, and I find out one of my secretaries has discovered my illicit activity. To make matters worse, she's now telling people about said activity. Which, obviously, I can't have. So I decide to take action. But why don't I kill you?

  Karen Page : They tried.

  Matt Murdock : Yeah, the second time. In the jail. But the first time, they left you alive. Why? What were they trying to do? Frame you? Now, the second time, maybe that's a change of plan. Something doesn't go their way, something sloppy at the crime scene. Two lawyers show up out of the blue before their people can get to you. So they figure okay, maybe Karen hangs herself in her cell, and this thing gets swept under the rug. But the first time... the first time, they're not trying to kill you. They're trying to discredit you. They're trying to scare you. And the only reason that they would do that... is if you have something that they want. So, I've been trying to think about what that could be, and the only thing I've come up with... is the Union Allied pension file. Did you keep the file, Karen?

  [at the mention of the file, he hears her heartbeat increase] 

  Karen Page : No. As soon as I asked my boss about it, he took it away from me. The IT guys, they came and they wiped the computers. Believe me, a part of me wishes I'd made a copy for myself, but... I guess I'm just not that smart.

  Matt Murdock : [choosing not to pursue it further]  Ah, well, it was just a thought.

• Foggy Nelson : Not that I'm complaining, but you really should be thanking the nut in the mask.

  Karen Page : He's not a nut. I mean, he's a little weird, maybe...

  Matt Murdock : We're just glad you're okay.
