Synopsis for "Certifiable"
Daredevil is on the phone with Foggy Nelson and has just witnessed criminal Jardiem Salazar somehow fall to his death from a closed elevator. Salazar’s men rush into the hall and open fire on Daredevil while Foggy tells him he’s delusional, a danger to himself and others. Daredevil jumps through a window to get away from the hail of bullets. As he falls, he reaches for his billy club but finds its holster empty. In a panic he hangs up on Foggy, then grasps for the club again. This time he finds it and grapples onto a flagpole jutting out from the building. He swings toward the busy street below, but just as he is about to slam into a bus, he lands with a crash onto the floor of his apartment. Confused, Daredevil rushes into his bedroom, where he last saw Milla, but it’s as if she was never there. He begins to wonder if he is in fact losing his mind and decides to see a doctor.
The doctor Matt chooses is Hank Pym, who examines him at Avengers Tower. Hank says he registered some odd readings when he was inside Matt’s brain cleaning out the Latverian nanobots, but Matt’s not convinced that would explain everything he’s experienced recently. As Matt talks, he begins to see a connection between the strange things that have been happening in his life and his current case, in which two mobsters have died in seemingly impossible ways. Matt asks Hank to look someone up on the Avengers’ computer system and says if he’s right, he knows who the next target is.
Meanwhile, Kirsten McDuffie arrives at a bar and finds Foggy drunk. Foggy, slurring his words, thanks her for meeting him. He apologizes to Kirsten for letting her get involved with Matt, and despite her protestations, confirms to her that Matt is Daredevil and that he’s gone crazy. Kirsten scolds Foggy and warns him that unless Foggy backtracks and tells her he’s just drunk and angry, her duties as an assistant district attorney require her to initiate a manhunt for Daredevil if he’s in fact gone off the deep end. Foggy meekly tells her his friend needs help and that he doesn’t want Matt hurt.
Daredevil has made his way to a Tortino Sanitation Engineers warehouse in New Jersey. Anthony Tortino is the highest ranking don left alive in the tri-state area, and he shortly arrives at the warehouse with other members of the families to figure out their next move. Daredevil tries to warn the men about their common enemy, but things quickly turn south. Circular black portals open up all over the room. A hand holding a pistol emerges from one after another and executes the mobsters in quick succession. Daredevil is helpless as each time he tries to intervene he’s teleported to another part of the warehouse.
Finally, the last mobster standing, Tortino, is pulled through a portal. Daredevil leaps after him and finds himself at the center of dozens of open portals. Black hands emerge from all of them and smother Daredevil into unconsciousness.
Sometime later, Daredevil awakens with his hands cuffed behind a post. He is baffled that his heart rate sounds so distant, then is horrified when his radar sense registers that his body is several feet away while his head sits on a table. Daredevil shouts in rage that Spot is a dead man, but the black hands that abducted him pick his head up and his tormentor introduces himself as Coyote.
