S1 E15Unfinished Business

[about Reuben] He can't even tie his shoes without my permission.

I'm serious.

I am too. That's why he always wears slip-ons.

She wants you to pay for what you did to Hope Shlottman.

Yeah, tell me something I don't know.

Hope Shlottman was pregnant with your child. Jessica and I helped her to abort it.

[looks stunned] Honesty. Refreshing, isn't it?

HHope

Jessica... kill him now.

We had a deal.

"Abandon Hope, all ye who enter here." That's the words written on the doorway to hell.

HHope

Kill him or he'll keep hurting people!

Let me handle this. [to Hope] She'll never kill me. Despite her calloused, hard-bitten, and frankly poorly styled facade, despite her several problems she still hopes that, at her core, she might just be a hero. But only if she can save you. The ultimate innocent victim.

What if he took someone you love? Would you let 'em die?

[sighs] Lucky me, I don't have too many of those.

Jesus, what is it with people?

At best, they're assholes. At worst, they're... zombie assassins.

So what, it's just every man for himself, then, huh? Everything I learned in church, all the praying that my mom did for the sick and the dying, all the... all the community projects my dad worked on, basically, everything that they taught me... it was all bullshit? They're idiots and I'm just the only asshole in the world who didn't know?

Yeah, you got duped, mop top.

Purple's his favorite color and he didn't even get to give it to me. That's what they call irony.

[Luke accosts Kilgrave on the street]

Stop! Who the hell are you?!

Luke Cage.

Tell me what you want. Quickly!

To kill you.

Well, take a bloody number! Did Jessica tell you to do this?

No. I followed her here. I thought she might lead me to you.

Oh, great. Just great. Get in the sodding car! Go on!

[Cage and Kilgrave get into a car with Kilgrave's father and a driver, and pull away from the curb]

I didn't kill your silly wife! Jessica did. All I wanted was Reva's copy of that video. What was I supposed to do, allow someone to expose me?

Yes.

Oh, shut up! [beat] How do you know Jessica?

We were lovers. [Kilgrave looks flabbergasted by Luke's response]

What was it, a pity shag?

No. There's....something between us.

But she lied to you.

Yes. Then she told me everything.

[to his father] Oh, look at that, Dad. Jessica being honest with someone. [to Luke] Tell me the truth: did you bugger my chances with her?

No. You screwed that up yourself.

...I'll have to think of a fitting response to that.

[After Kilgrave interrupts a concert]

ATAlbert Thompson

The changes are incremental, not exponential--

I haven't got time for incremental, Dad, Jessica's trying to kill me now!

ATAlbert Thompson

Well, we won't know if you can control Jessica without Jessica. All we can test for is time and distance.

Well, my distance is piss-all. Did you hear the hecklers in the back row?

ATAlbert Thompson

"Get off the stage, asshole."

I didn't ask you to recount it!

PKPunk Kid

Yo, you crushed it in there, man! That was, like, anti-rock--

Stop talking. [to Albert] Dad, tell me. Are you doing everything that you possibly can?

ATAlbert Thompson

Yes.

Shit. [to the kid] Cross the street, face that fence, and stay there forever.

ATAlbert Thompson

Kevin, be reasonable.

Well, it won't actually be forever, because it's incremental, not exponential, remember? Come on, you've got work to do.

So what's your theory?

He's trying to increase his power so he can control me.

So, how does he get it?

I don't know, but he's keeping his dad alive for some reason.

Maybe Kilgrave thinks Albert can improve upon his original work.

You can't improve on an asshole by making it bigger.

[Robyn and Malcolm toss an iPad charger into the water near where Malcolm dumped Ruben's body]

Goodbye, Ruben. I hope they have free express shipping in heaven.
