Arcane · Season 1, Episode 15

Jinx, Silco and others in “Unfinished Business”

[scoffs] Go away. You're too late.

Oh, it's a Hell of a place. It says something about the late Marcus, that he found imprisoning your sister to be a greater mercy than... killing her.

Killing isn't mercy.

[chuckles] A spark of rebellion still burns inside that husk, I see. No... Killing is a cycle. One that started long before Vander and me, and that will continue, long after the two of you. [the blue glow of his scarred eye becomes the Hextech gem in Jinx's hand, revealing he is a hallucination]

... I'm done, running in circles.

We build our own prisons. Bars forged of... oaths, codes, commitments. Walls of self-doubt and accepted limitation. We inhabit these cells, these..."identities"... and call them us. I thought I could break free, by eliminating those I deemed my jailers. But... Jinx... I think the cycle only ends, when you find the will to walk away.

Jinx? [she appears outside Jinx's cell]

[looks up briefly] ...What are you doing?

I swiped these from the guards' station. [unlocks the door] If you come, help, use all that explosive potential of yours for good... maybe we can re-write your story, like you did with Zaun. What do you think?

[brokenly]... Sure, Vi. [Vi rushes into the cell and embraces her, crying] ...You're never gonna give up on me, are you?

Hey!

[gently] You don't have to worry about me, anymore. You don't need to feel guilty about... being happy. You deserve, to be with her. [backs toward the bunker entrance]

[rushes to the bars] Wait!

There's no good version of me.

What are you gonna do?!

...Break the cycle. [leaves]

[hammers on the bars] Jinx! [lets out a tearful scream, then punches the wall]
