Romantic feelings spark for Matt and Elektra. They agree to meet at a statue at a certain time. If either wants out they can do so, but if they meet it means they stay together, whatever it costs. But before that, they battle an old man trained as a samurai who's on a killing spree at a prison, hoping someone will kill him in return. When beaten, the old man asks to be allowed to perform ritual suicide. Matt wants to take him to the authorities, but Elektra feels she must honor the old man's request. The difference drives a wedge between Matt and Elektra and neither returns to the statue.
