He asks some basic questions, but Jessica refuses to answer. Matt comments that he is aware of Jessica's past activities, and what she did to Kilgrave, so it's in her best interests to be open and forthcoming with him, but she insists nothing happened, and Matt allows her to leave. As Jessica leaves, she calls Malcolm to ask what he told the detective that questioned him, unaware that Matt is listening to her. Aware of what Foggy has asked of him, Matt decides to follow her.

Jessica interviews John Raymond's wife and daughter to get some answers, with no success. While not going into specifics, she reveals that she thinks John was being targeted. As she's leaving, Jessica gets the uneasy feeling that she's being followed. After a few minutes, she notices Matt shadowing her, hanging a few steps back. In an attempt to lose him, Jessica ducks into a storefront, taking advantage of the crowd of pedestrians, and causing Matt to lose track of her. He continues walking, only to quickly realize that Jessica has managed to turn the tables so that she is following him instead.

Unbeknownst to her, Matt has found a new hiding place to listen in on her call.

In the meanwhile, the paths of our four heroes all merge on Midland Circle, a high-rise skyscraper on 44th Street located on what used to be [[Recap/Daredevil2015S1E5WorldOnFire Elena Cardenas' tenement]]. Danny arrives first in a hired Rand company car, and dressed in a suit and tie to give the appearance that he's here on official business. He talks his way past the receptionist, saying he wants to meet the [=CEOs=] of Midland Circle Financial. Danny is taken upstairs, and escorted by a secretary down a very stark white hallway to a board room. He announces to the board that he is planning to expose them and all of the criminal activities the Hand has been involved in. That is, until he's interrupted by the arrival of Alexandra, who appreciates his candor and isn't fazed by his arrival, and asks him to continue.
Jessica is the second to arrive...with Matt right behind her, having regained her tail. Knowing [[Recap/Daredevil2015S2E7SemperFidelis exactly what is going on at this address]], Matt accosts Jessica and warns her to leave the building immediately. Jessica gets exasperated at Matt's persistent tailing her and demands answers about what he's up to, especially as a blind man who can do parkour. When she lets slip that she's taken pictures of him, Matt abruptly smashes Jessica's camera.
Upstairs, Danny continues his monologue to Alexandra and the board, explaining how he plans to take them all down. Alexandra is nonplussed when Danny reveals he is the Iron Fist, and cautions Alexandra that she'll soon lose everything, just like he did. The meeting then abruptly turns hostile, as the secretary that escorted Danny in suddenly pulls a gun on him. Danny swiftly disarms her and takes her hostage. In the struggle, her gun goes off, a sound that Matt hears down in the lobby. As this is exactly the type of situation he was trying to avoid, Matt steals Jessica's scarf and ties it around his head to use as a mask, then makes his way towards the stairwell.
Alexandra tells Danny that she's crossed paths with previous Iron Fists, but unlike his predecessors, she's not going to kill him, but capture him. Furthermore, there's no use trying to use the secretary as a hostage, for the "board members" are more hired henchmen who are armed with collapsible batons. Realizing he is woefully outnumbered, Danny throws the secretary aside and engages Alexandra's henchmen. He manages to disarm and knock down most of the first wave of men, only for a second team to show up and try shooting him with tranquilizer pistols. He is able to disarm most of the second team, before the fighters from the first team manage to get a second wind and dogpile on him, pinning him down.

Luke returns to Claire's apartment and puts an ice pack to his face to dull the pain from where Danny punched him. He uneasily tells Claire about watching Cole get arrested. Claire's curiosity is piqued when Luke reveals he got punched by some skinny white kid with a glowing fist, and immediately picks up the phone, telling Luke "there's someone that you need to meet." The next morning, Claire drags Luke down to Colleen's dojo so he and Danny can be properly introduced to each other. Luke is incredulous at most of what Danny reveals, especially the Hand's ability to revive the dead. They make some small praises of what the other has done, but they come to blows when it comes to what Danny had been doing, roughing up Cole. Luke argues that Danny was too hard on Cole, who is a bottom-feeder that probably doesn't know what his bosses' ulterior motives are, and Danny can be doing much more going after the leadership with his privilege and status as a billionaire. Danny thinks there's no reasonable excuse for Cole's actions. The conversation ends with Luke storming out.
Meanwhile, Jessica interviews John Raymond's wife and daughter to get some answers, with no success. While not going into specifics, she reveals that she thinks John was targeted. As she's leaving, Jessica gets the uneasy feeling that she's being followed. After a few minutes, she notices Matt shadowing her, hanging a few steps back.

Unbeknownst to her, Matt has found a new hiding place to listen in on her call.
Luke visits Cole at the jail, and asks him if he knows anything about the Hand beyond the muscle work he's been doing. But Cole is reluctant to talk, saying the Hand have eyes and ears everywhere and will kill him for speaking to Luke. He asks Luke to hand his mother some scratch lottery tickets, tearfully apologizing as he's led away by guards.
Danny and Colleen pay a visit to Rand Enterprises and stop by a property clerk. Danny thinks he can find the leaders of the Hand by tracing their money. A quick search on the computer leads Danny to learn that the Hand moved a lot of money through Rand to a single location: Midland Circle Financial in Midtown. Danny deduces that this must be where the Hand's base of operations are decided. Contemplating his options, he decides that he will need to pay them a visit, and fly solo.
At Duncan and Dotter Designs, Jessica talks to one of John Raymond's colleagues, posing as a goofy blog owner looking for communal workspace.

But Cole is reluctant to talk, saying the Hand have eyes and ears everywhere and will kill him for speaking to Luke. He asks Luke to hand his mother some scratch lottery tickets, tearfully apologizing as he's led away by guards.
Danny and Colleen pay a visit to Rand Enterprises and stop by a property clerk. Danny thinks he can find the leaders of the Hand by tracing their money. A quick search on the computer leads Danny to learn that the Hand moved a lot of money through Rand to a single location: Midland Circle Financial in Midtown. Danny deduces that this must be where the Hand's base of operations are decided. Contemplating his options, he decides that he will need to pay them a visit, and fly solo.
At Duncan and Dotter Designs, Jessica talks to one of John Raymond's colleagues, posing as a goofy blog owner looking for communal workspace. After some schmoozing, she gets the colleague to reveal that John recently designed a skyscraper in Hell's Kitchen: Midland Circle. Satisfied, Jessica waits for the colleague to leave before snapping some photographs on her phone to get an address.

In the meanwhile, the paths of our four heroes all merge on Midland Circle, a high-rise skyscraper on 44th Street located on what used to be the site of Elena Cardenas' tenement. Danny arrives in a hired Rand company car, and dressed in a suit and tie to give the appearance that he's here on official business. He talks his way past the receptionist, saying he wants to meet the [=CEOs=] of Midland Circle Financial. Danny is taken upstairs, and escorted by a secretary down a very stark white hallway to a board room. He announces to the board that he is planning to expose them and all of the activities the Hand has been involved in. That is, until he's interrupted by the arrival of Alexandra, who appreciates his candor and isn't fazed by his arrival, and asks him to continue.
Jessica is the second to arrive. Matt is right behind her, having regained her tail. As she enters the lobby, she doesn't notice Matt entering through a side door until he suddenly grabs her by the arm, drags her aside, and warns her to leave the building immediately. Jessica gets exasperated at Matt's persistent tailing her and demands answers about what he's up to, especially as a blind man who can do parkour. When she lets slip that she's taken pictures of him, Matt abruptly smashes Jessica's camera.
Upstairs, Danny continues his monologue to Alexandra and the board, explaining how he plans to take them all down. Alexandra is nonplussed when Danny reveals he is the Iron Fist, and cautions Alexandra that she'll soon lose everything, just like he did. The meeting then abruptly turns hostile, as the secretary that escorted Danny in suddenly pulls a gun on him. Danny swiftly disarms her and uses her as a human shield. In the struggle, her gun goes off, a sound which Matt hears down in the lobby. As this is exactly the type of situation he was trying to avoid, Matt steals Jessica's scarf and ties it around his head to use as a mask, then makes his way towards the stairwell. Upstairs, Alexandra tells Danny that she's crossed paths with previous Iron Fists, but unlike his predecessors, she's not going to kill him, but capture him, and there's no use trying to use the secretary as a hostage. On cue, every board member rises and brandish collapsible batons. Realizing he is woefully outnumbered, Danny throws the secretary aside and engages Alexandra's henchmen. He manages to disarm and knock down most of the first wave of men, only for a second team to show up and try shooting him with tranquilizer pistols. He is able to disarm most of the second team, before the fighters from the first team manage to get a second wind and dogpile on him, pinning him to the table.
As Danny is being overwhelmed, he frantically tries to summon the Iron Fist to break free. He gets a reprieve when Luke abruptly crashes through the entry doors. The surprise gives Danny an opening to toss one of the henchmen towards Luke, and free himself from the other henchmen who are distracted by the new arrival. Luke then shields Danny and they take down two more henchmen who enter firing automatic rifles at them, before they find themselves surrounded by teams of armed henchmen from both entrance points into the room.
Matt, meanwhile, runs up the stairs, emerging on the top floor at the same moment that Jessica emerges from the elevator. As they walk down the hall, Luke and Danny's fight bursts through the wall in front of them. Luke is stunned to see Jessica there, but there's no time to exchange pleasantries as she tries to ask Luke about Danny, and he in turn tries to ask her about Matt.

Jessica and Danny pale as they recognize Elektra. They begin retreating towards the elevator, only to find their way being blocked by more henchmen coming up the stairwell. Luke, Jessica and Danny begin fighting the henchmen, while Matt engages Elektra one-on-one. After an intense fight, Elektra manages to stun Matt with a timed kick that tosses him into a bookcase. As he lays there, prone, Matt recognizes Elektra's heartbeat Elektra and says her name, confused. Elektra pauses, thinking Matt's voice sounds familiar. As she picks up one of her katanas preparing to finish Matt off, Danny suddenly appears and uses the Iron Fist to shatter Elektra's blade and throw her backwards through a window. He then helps Matt to his feet, and the two hurry to join Luke and Jessica before escaping down the elevator.

Acting like a reassuring mother, Alexandra gets Elektra up to speed, helping her regain the memory to speak. After some time, it's time for Elektra to be retrained in fighting. She initially thinks of using her old sais, but instead takes a bladed katana. With Alexandra watching, Elektra is put through basic sparring lessons. Her trainers start her with basic non-fatal weapons in one-on-one matches. Then she is taught how to fight multiple opponents. Then comes the real test: moving from non-fatal batons to knifeplay. Elektra demonstrates she's ready, as unarmed, she manages to in total darkness grab twin katanas and kill ten opponents in a matter of seconds. As a reward for passing the test, Alexandra gives Elektra a new armored suit for fighting.
