Jessica Jones Season 1 quotes

Trish

What are you doing here?

Malcolm

My job.

Trish

[scoffs] Jessica.

Malcolm

If this was my play, you'd be in police custody.

Trish

What? Because you're all about justice? Helping Hogarth exonerate rapists and murderers?

Malcolm

You're right. I have a lot to make up for. [Trish scoffs] You know, Jessica still believes in you. Well, she believes in Trish. I'm not even sure who that is anymore.

Trish

Carl Nussbaumer killed people. Montero burned people.

Malcolm

And their reckoning was your job? That's your defense?

Trish

You know, you're not the only one with a lot to make up for. It's about... balancing the scales.

Trish

You were willing, too, once, with Kilgrave.

Jessica

And it nearly destroyed me.

Trish

But it hasn't destroyed me. Maybe that's my real power. I can carry the burden.

Trish

But I'm so angry.

Jessica

So am I. But that's the burden we have to carry.

Trish

I'm not sure I can.

Jessica

I hope it continues.

Erik

What, you and me?

Jessica

The upward swing.

Erik

Same thing.

Jessica

I'm supposed to fix this. Fix everything. It's my job. No wonder people just look the other way. I want to look away, too. It's all I want.

Luke

He made a decision. And forced me to make one, too.

Jessica

The only decision I'm qualified to make is bourbon or more bourbon.

Luke

Bullshit. In fact... if I ever go too far... I hope that someone gives enough of a shit about me to take me down.

Jessica

Is that a risk these days?

Luke

Going too far? Some would say it's inevitable.

Jessica

The masked vigilante has killed three people. Bad people. Maybe you're glad they're gone. Maybe you're even rooting for her. But that's not heroic, it's murder. She won't go down without a fight, but she needs to go down. So I'm asking you to help me find her. Her name is Trish Walker.

Trish

No. Shit!

Jessica

You may know her as Patsy.

Trish

She can't do this!

Jessica

She's on the run. She's holding her attorney, Jeryn Hogarth, hostage. She's dangerous. Do not approach her. Don't try to be a hero. It's a shitty job.

Jessica

Are you just sitting here in the dark?

Trish

It isn't dark for me.

How long do you have?

Jeri

It's progressing slowly. My hands, they're not mine anymore, and eventually my entire body will become a prison.

They pulled jurisdiction, so I'll be handing you off to them. Due process doesn't seem to apply to enhanced peoples. We've been told to close all cases related to you. Please acknowledge that you understand the list of charges against you, for the record. "Two counts of murder in the first degree. One count of murder in the second degree. Multiple counts of aggravated assault, kidnapping, breaking and entering, trespassing. And one count of attempted murder... against your own sister". Ms. Walker, do you understand? Ms. Walker? Ms. Walker, do you understand?

Trish

[breathing shakily] I'm the bad guy. [exhales]

Jessica

[watches Trish being taken to the helicopter, destined for the Raft] Some things you look at and you think: "Disaster". You search for exits, escapes. Other things, you think: "Maybe I can fix this". You might ask yourself: "What's it gonna take to make it feel right?" The answer is: "Too much". It'll take too much.

Where to?

Jessica

The closest you can get to Mexico.

That'd be El Paso, Texas.

Jessica

One way.

Here you go. [gives the purple ticket]

Kilgrave

Jessica... You're right to give in. Give up. It's someone else's job now.

El Paso, right? Hey, don't you want your ticket?
