"What are you talking about?" "Not to mention these weekly trips to Atlantic City." "Then there's this non-existent employee, Jane Smith?" "You are way out of line." "What doesn't line up are these missing funds." "What is that word..." "Embezzlement?" "Or is it that other word?" "Starts with an "F."" "Fa..." "Fa..." "Felony?" "[softly] What do you want?" " Same thing as you." " For you to quit?" "Actually, it's better if you fire me and give me six months' severance pay." "And a glowing recommendation, or I email that to HR."

"Would you put day drinking under "Experience" or "Special Skills"?" " [Trish] What was it this time?" " [Jessica] He was an asshole." "[Trish] And the job was "siphoning your soul through a Xerox machine"?" "[Jessica] No, that was my last job." "This job was sucking my brains out through the air vent." "You're bored because you're overqualified for all these crappy jobs." "Yet I'm uniquely unqualified for anything else." "Bullshit." "Hey!" "You're good at bullshit!" "Hey, play a game of Love Tester with me?" "I think we'd be a match." "Um, while that's an amazing offer, I'm kind of busy right now." "Hey, I know you." "But you were a redhead." "I watched your show." "♪ It's Patsy!" "Patsy!" "I really wanna be your friend ♪" " [Trish] It was a long time ago." " [laughs] I was 12." " I learned a lot from Patsy." " Uh-huh." "Patsy taught me how to hold a remote with one hand, and box the bald-headed bishop with the other. [laughing]" "I'll play you." "Yeah, sure." "Why not?" "Jess, it's not worth it." "I think it is." "But I'm not really feeling the Love Tester right now." "How about the Strength Tester instead?" "I win, you pick up our bar tab, apologize to my friend, and find somewhere else to drink."

"You said you wanted to help Malcolm." "It's time to put on your cape." "[door unlocking]" "We'll never know where Malcolm is going to meet Kilgrave." "Because he compels someone at the last minute to tell Malcolm where to go." "[door locking]" "Kilgrave's taking precautions because he knows you're onto Malcolm?" "No, or Malcolm would be dead." "But he's not gonna let me sneak up on him." "So I need to deliver the sufentanil with a long-range dart gun." "Won't work if he's on the move." "A long-range sniper attack takes setup." "Your subject needs to be in a predetermined location, preferably removed from civilians." "So, I guess you're over him trying to kill you and all." "It'll take a pistol." "Up close and personal." " He'll be dead before he hits the ground." " I need him alive, Rambo." "I'll keep him doped up, I just need a place to stash him." "A bullet to the head is more effective." "Not for the girl who's sitting in prison, taking the blame for his murders." "Without proof that he exists, she's done." "And that's on me." "So this is my call." "My call." "Look, whatever abilities you have," "I'm guessing they don't include rendition, exfiltration, and isolation of enemy combatants." "He's a war hero." "He's also the guy who was filled with remorse about attacking you, until he decided to turn it into a booty call." " That is not what happened." " And not your business, Jess." "As long as I don't have to work with him." "I need you to rent a van and drive." "You still don't have a license?" "What is it with you and cars?" " Wait, Trish is the driver?" " I'm in."

"I have to be on air in an hour." "You know what?" "Screw it, I'll cancel." "No, things have to appear normal to Kilgrave." "I can help." " Thanks, but I don't need you." " Uh, yeah, you do." "No, she doesn't." "But seriously, he could be useful." "Okay, great!" "So call me later and fill me in on the plan." " I'll just grab some pants." " Good call." "[Jessica] You'll have to come in close." "[Simpson] A dart gun's accurate up to 20 feet." "He'll always keep his back to a wall." "He'll see you coming." "[laughing] He won't see me."

"Just show me this hermetically sealed room." " No, I do know one thing." " Oh, Christ." "[Simpson] I know tomorrow is too soon to move on Kilgrave." " An exfil takes planning." " I have a plan." "Plus, Kilgrave knows I have the photos." "He knows I'll figure out it's Malcolm." "Yeah, true." "You know, I figured out it was Malcolm." "[Jessica] You dismissed him just like I did." "Well, all the more reason not to go in half-assed." "[knocking]" "It's soundproof, too." "Nothing gets in or out." "I can rig a safeguard, but I need till day after tomorrow." "And that's a Sunday." "It's a commercial area." "It'll be dead." "No witnesses." " Fine, day after tomorrow." " Good." "You just get me close enough to dart him and grab him up." "You dart him, I grab him up." "A woman running an unconscious man through Union Square to a van." " That's not conspicuous at all." " Not if I'm quick." "Someone might try to stop you to help." "How fast is your mile?" " Six minutes." " Under four." "Fine, you grab him up." "[Jessica] Just go inside." "Listen, once he's in here, he'll become..." "[Simpson inaudible]" "...can you?" "You can't hear me, huh?" "Anything?" "[inaudible]" "You G.I. Joe." "You definitely have a screw loose." "I'm guessing you left the military because you gunned down a small village."

"And it has automatic transmission." "You know, I could've driven a stick shift if necessary." "Wasn't necessary." "[chuckles] Seriously, Simpson." "Stop worrying." "I'm an excellent driver." "Yeah, I read that about you on your Wikipedia page." "You've been googling me. [scoffs]" "Highest-paid child star in television history?" "That's a pretty charmed life." "Yeah, nothing but sunshine and rainbows." "And apparently you're a saint." "You know, the part where you took in an orphan named Jessica when her family died?" "So, uh, she get her powers in that car accident?" "What exactly can she do?" "You won't find that on Wikipedia." "Well, you know, she's strong, that's for sure, and I'm guessing she has other powers?" "If you want to know about Jessica, why don't you just talk to Jessica?" "I don't think she likes me very much." "She's protective." "She doesn't like any of the guys I date." "Right." "And you approve of all of her boyfriends?" "[sighs] They never stick around long enough for me to form an opinion." " Yeah, she probably scares guys off." " You should stop there." "I need to know who I'm throwing in with." "Do you trust me?" "With?" "Do you trust that I'm a decent human being?" " I know you are." " And I know Jessica is." "And I'm pretty sure you are, too." "And that is all any of us need to know right now."

"Well, ultimately, it's gonna be a lightweight, highly durable fabric, waterproof, flame resistant, and it will hide your identity." "No." "Well, you can't keep saving people dressed as a giant hoagie!" "Put on that mask." "Fine." "Oh, this is rad." "Try and hit me now." "Fine... be the naked superhero." "That can be your alias."

"Kilgrave knew I had the surgical drugs." " Malcolm would have told him." " He's lying." "Oh, come on, man!" "I mean, the job pays well, but not good enough to lose a kneecap over." "You know what I mean?" "Kilgrave knew he needed paid backup, in case he lost his ability." "Where'd they take him?" "They don't tell us until we need it." "It's a precaution." "I just show up." "Forget it." "He doesn't know." "Names of your firm, names of the boys in your detail, how Kilgrave stayed in contact." "Sure, yeah." "Whatever you need." "Doesn't matter, he's just gonna change it all when he wakes up, anyway." "Well, I'll just make sure." " Then we can go find your junkie friend." " Come here." "[sighs]" "I'll find him."

"No, no, no, your superhero name." "You must have one." "Just Jessica Jones." "Really?" "Hmm." "Rather prosaic, but it's fine." "Fine, Jessica Jones, fine." "[chuckles]" "There's a fantastic Szechuan place around the corner." "You like Chinese." "Come on." "Come on." "I have to know everything about you." "[panting]" "[Jessica] I made you a peanut butter sandwich." "You ate all the chunky." "All I have is smooth." "I am sick." "Yeah, and you're just gonna get sicker, so try not to miss the toilet." "Go to hell." "Already been there." "So have you." "Fuck, I just... [sighs] [sniffs] I need a little bit, you know?" "Just..." "Just to wean myself off." "I'm not gonna help you kill yourself." "I mean, why not?" "I'm useless to you." "To anybody." "Yeah, at the moment." "Yeah." "But, a while ago, you were gonna help people." "Social work, right?" "[laughing]" "Look at me." "Who am I gonna help like this?" "You have a choice now." " I took pictures of you." " Because he made you." "Sometimes I did it just for the drugs." "Think about it, I met him once a day." "10:00 a.m." "His controls don't last that long." "You know they don't." "That's why he got you hooked, so you would show up." "[sighs] I'm telling you that I had a choice." "[retching]" "[Jessica clears throat]" "Kilgrave will find me." "I'll be dead anyway." "[sighs sharply]" "Please just give me my goddamn drugs." "Just give me..." "Just give me my goddamn drugs!" "[Jessica] You're right." "I can't save you." "The whole time he had me, there was some part of me that fought." "There was some tiny corner of my brain that tried to get out." "And I'm still fighting." "I won't stop fighting." "But if you give up..." "I lose." "Do you get that?" "He did this to you to get at me." "To isolate me." "To make me feel like an infection, one more person dead or dying because of me." "So why don't you remember how to be a goddamn human being again instead of this self-pitying piece of shit that he turned you into, and save me for once?" "You choose."

"[inhales deeply] So rare... for me to feel powerless." "Well, I would have felt it, had I been conscious." "But in retrospect, it's exhilarating." "My life was literally in your hands." "And I have the bruise to prove it." "Which proves that you want me alive." "Tell me why." "I could just turn up on your doorstep and make you tell me." "[Kilgrave sighs]" "Oh, you're mad about the junkie, aren't you?" "That is completely unfair." "I didn't make him do anything he didn't want to do." "He was..." "He was an addict waiting to happen." "Come on, Jessica." "Come on." "Don't play the hero with me." "Fine, fine." "Pretend you saved the junkie, but we both know that was down to me." "I tell you what." "I will let him go down his own self-destructive path." "I won't come near him." "If... you do his job for him." "Keep the pictures coming." "Say, one a day at 10:00 a.m.?" "Don't forget to smile." "Hmm?" "Send the picture, save the junkie." "Sounds like an ad campaign. [chuckles]" "Let's start... um, now." "Come on, Jessica." "Tell me we have a deal." "Let me hear your voice."
