This episode starts the advance into the King Pin. As the first two episodes were to establish Matt Murdok, what he stands for and who he is, the third episodes moves directly into the trajectory of discovering who are villain is.

Matt and Foggy are caught up in a case of corruption, blackmail and thuggery, being used by the great evil of the city. Matt gets his first glimpses into just how grand the forces that wish to control the city are, and just how far their reach is. This new villain is much more than some street gang, or mob boss... no, this villain wears tailored suits, hides within corporations and likes expensive art.

Greatest part of the episode is the reveal of the King Pin. Vicent Dinofrio is almost unreconizable as Fisk, but he plays the role to a T. Even in his 5 minute scene, with very few lines, he marvels.

Visuals: Amazing fight scene between Matt and the thug in the alley. In moments it had felt as if Murdok had meet his physical match. But even more chilling is the sheer terror that his opponent shows as his betrayal of his employer, to the point of suicide being better than facing his wrath. ; Fisk set against a white painting in the museum. Image just as powerful as Murdok walking through a dark corridor after a fight.
