Synopsis for "Purple, Part 2"

Matt Murdock continues narrating to the priest the story of how regained his secret identity. He tells him about the Purple Man and his powers. Matt says he doesn’t know how he escaped jail again; we witness it happening, though, when a corrupt guard tries to use his powers to make a woman love him. Killgrave uses the woman to kill the guard and help him escape.

Matt Murdock lets the two Purple Children into his apartmen, since they were being chased by people under the Purple Man’s control. He sends the children and his girlfriend into a panic room as the mind-controlled people tear down his door to get to the children. DD manages to knock them all out and asks the Purple Children what’s going on. They say their father has been kidnapping them to make himself stronger; DD agrees to help them.

They take DD to Killgrave’s new hideout, where he has constructed an enormous machine, in which he has imprisoned his other children. With his power amplified, he is easily able to take control of Daredevil. Daredevil grabs the final two children by their necks and gives them to Killgrave.
