In “City Primeval,” Sweety observes a scene between Carolyn Wilder and her ex-husband, Jamal. He thanks her for assisting Tyrone, a friend and her customer, but she owes him a lifetime of watching out for her.
Sweety’s friend, Clement Mansell, comes to the bar and asks him to get Sandy some marijuana. Unbeknownst to Sweety, Clement pulls a rifle from a ceiling panel. Sweety was a member of the Wrecking Crew in “The Oklahoma Wildman,” which dealt drugs. He gave out his team for a payment, and Clement shot all of them except one, who survived. Clement encouraged Sweety to obtain a lawyer before being detained. He then contacted Carolyn Wilder, who was able to get him released on a federal detainer legislation.

Owen Hendricks, a young lawyer who has recently joined the CIA, sees his life flipped upside down when he meets an Eastern European asset who threatens extortion if she is not released from prison. As her long-standing involvement with the CIA is uncovered, he becomes embroiled in complex international politics. Hendricks negotiates with the asset and comes into conflict with hostile individuals and groups, putting his life in danger as he attempts to carry out his responsibilities.
For the People
Hall plays Judge Nicholas Byrne, the Chief Judge at the US District Court of the Southern District of New York on For the People. Nicholas presided over the case of Madeline Locarno, who was accused of disclosing confidential information to her ex-husband, which he subsequently utilized to profit a little more than $9000 in the stock market through a merger of two companies. He was amazed that Roger Gunn was focused on a case for so little money. Allison confessed that Seth inflated the accusations to coerce Madeline and Allison into a plea bargain. Nicholas terminated this case when Seth refused to drop the allegations, and he reported Seth’s activities, which resulted in probation.
Daredevil
He appeared as Ben Urich in the first season of Daredevil. Ben Urich reported for the New York Bulletin about a variety of events in New York City, including the Teachers Union scam, a hazardous runoff, Veteran Affairs bribes, a battle between the Hulk and Abomination in Harlem, and the Battle of New York. He took the most delight in exposing organized crime in Hell’s Kitchen, and via his writings, he was able to put several Italian Mob figures in jail while also breaking crime organizations. One of these stories revolved around the arrest of Silvio Manfredi, who became an informant and friend of Urich after his release ten years later. During his profession, he met Brigid O’Reilly and showed her how he utilizes playing cards to unearth conspiracies.
Benjamin “Ben” Urich was an investigative journalist at the New York Bulletin who specialized in producing exposes on Hell’s Kitchen’s criminal empires, which resulted in the arrests of numerous high-ranking gang members. When his wife fell ill, Urich became less enthusiastic about his work until Karen Page requested for his assistance in uncovering a new criminal empire that had emerged in New York City. Urich devoted most of his efforts to discovering the truth, despite clashes with his editor Mitchell Ellison and many who questioned the assertions. Wilson Fisk assassinated Urich at his own house just as he was about to reveal the truth to the public, allowing Nelson and Murdock to finish the job.
Doris, his wife, was hospitalized with a debilitating chronic life-threatening disease that included periodic signs of idiosyncratic impaired cognition. Because his wife required continual care, Urich spent a significant amount of time and money ensuring she had the finest possible therapy. Urich was frequently encouraged to consider transferring her into a nursing home due to her deteriorating mental health.
