[Jessica walks out into the precinct proper. All the cops have guns trained on each other. Kilgrave stands on the other side of the room.]
Oh, everyone, calm down! You're killing the mood! ...Jessica. You're not surprised to see me. You had to know I'd come for you. Not this fast? [pause] I'll admit to keeping eyes on you. Spies are easy to come by for me.
Do whatever you're going to do to me, but let them go. Control me, but let them go.
I have absolutely no intention of controlling you. I want you to act on your own accord.
Act how? Suicide? Is that why you've been torturing me?
Oh, my god. Jessica, I knew you were insecure, but that's just sad. I'm not torturing you. Why would I? I love you.
You have been ruining my life...
...as a demented declaration of love?
I was trying to show you what I see. I'm the only one who matches you. Who challenges you. Who'll do anything for you.
[scoffs] This is a sick joke. You have killed innocent people.
That milquetoast little man-boy? He interrupted me while I was leaving you a present, which, apparently, you didn't even find...Come on! You can't pretend he didn't irritate you, too. I wanted to slap him after thirty seconds! [pause] I know. I realize this will take time. But I'm gonna prove it to you.
[A cell phone begins ringing]
[irritated] Whose is that? [cell phone continues to ring] Whose phone is that?!
[Kilgrave approaches Detective Clemmons, the source of the ringing. Upon getting a silent confirmation that yes, this is his phone, Kilgrave takes Clemmons' phone and throws it at a wall, shattering it into pieces]
THE NEXT PERSON WHOSE PHONE RINGS HAS TO EAT IT!!! [Kilgrave begins pacing around the room and rubbing his hands over his face, trying to calm himself down] Crappy fluorescent lights and cockroaches and loud cell phones and the smell of piss! I AM TRYING TO PROFESS ETERNAL LOVE HERE, PEOPLE!
I'll come with you. To protect them. Not out of choice. You know me well. We can work out the rest.
Oh, please! I am new to love, but I do know what it looks like! I do watch television.
You're a deranged prick. You've never loved anyone in your repulsive life.
Do not presume to know! Before I met you, I got everything I ever wanted. And I didn't realize how unsatisfactory that was until you left me to die. You are the first thing - excuse me, person - that I wanted that walked away from me. You made me feel something I never had before. Yearning. I actually missed you.
No, I don't. I'm hoping you'll choose me like I've chosen you. I believe that you will discover the same thing I did. That we're inevitable.
[Jessica pays Dorothy Walker a visit at her talent agency]
DWDorothy Walker
So! To what do I owe the pleasure?
DWDorothy Walker
Why? What's happened? Is she on drugs again?
She hasn't touched drugs since I dragged her away from you.
DWDorothy Walker
I had no idea that doctor was over-prescribing.
Still no responsibility or remorse. I wish I could be like that.
DWDorothy Walker
"No responsibility," hmm? I took you in. You were an orphan. That's gotta count for something.
You don't get credit for doing the right thing for the wrong reasons.
DWDorothy Walker
I cared about-
About publicity. I was a strategic play to further the Patsy Walker brand. Trish is fine. She has security like Fort Knox and she's savvy enough not to let anyone sneak up on her, except you. She has no defenses against you.
DWDorothy Walker
She doesn't need defenses. I'm her mother.
DWDorothy Walker
I haven't seen her in three years.
Except for when you "accidentally" ran into her?
DWDorothy Walker
It's a small city.
And leave long, drunken messages for her?
DWDorothy Walker
What is it you want from me?
I want you to stick to the agreement. Because no matter where I am, even if I'm behind bars, if you try anything, I will find out. I will come for you, and it will hurt.
DWDorothy Walker
People can change, Jessie.
It doesn't make the bad shit you did go away.
DWDorothy Walker
I just... had a problem. I got help.
DWDorothy Walker
I earned those!
If you want them to keep coming, you'll respect Trish's wishes... which I will enforce.
DWDorothy Walker
"And it will hurt.” You need a better tagline.
Five hundred feet. Just like a real restraining order. Five hundred feet away from her. Do you understand?
DWDorothy Walker
Yes. Taking you in was the worst decision of my life.
[sarcastically] Thanks, Mom.
Which part of staying in five-star hotels, eating in all the best places, doing whatever the hell you wanted, is rape?
The part where I didn’t want to do any of it! Not only did you physically rape me, but you violated every cell in my body and every thought in my goddamn head!
That’s not what I was trying to do.
It doesn’t matter what you were trying to do. You raped me, again and again and again.
How was I supposed to know?! Huh?! I never know if someone is doing what they want or what I tell them to!
You have no idea, do you? I have to painstakingly choose every word I say! I once told a man to go screw himself. Can you even imagine?
I didn’t have this. A home, loving parents, a family.
You blame bad parenting? My parents died! You don’t see me raping anyone!
Don't look at him, don't talk to him, and don't listen to him.
Or he'll mind control me.
No, because he's an asshole. His powers don't work through a mic, so you'd have to go in the room. Don't do that, either.
You think I won't kill you because some strangers might stab themselves?
Uh, poison, actually, but no. It's because you want what I have.
A stupid name and a death wish?
I have Hope. The person, not the feeling. Well, the feeling, too. I'm a hopeful man.
