AKA Playland
1 [THEME MUSIC PLAYING.]
[DUCT TAPE RIPPING.]
[INHALES.]
What are you [BREATHING HEAVILY.]
- What did you do? - Hey, hey.
Is your head okay? There's some aspirin Where are we? - Wait.
- Where did you bring me? Jessica! Jessica! - Oh, shit.
- Jessica.
You hit me.
Spur of the moment.
I couldn't let you turn me in again.
Where are we? - Uh, in transit.
- To? It's up to you.
Then we're going to The Raft.
No.
Up to me, my ass.
I have already wasted too much of my life locked up, and there is another option.
You can reach me.
Not if I'm unconscious.
[SIGHS.]
You could have crushed my skull.
But I didn't.
I held back.
- [SCOFFS.]
Is that supposed to reassure me? - Yes! I controlled it.
Because you love me? Or because I carried you inside me, or because we're both powered, or because we've both lost too much.
We don't have to lose each other.
You're insane.
And you're my cure.
Do not put that on me.
And I'm yours.
I am not the one who's sick.
I help people.
I have a life.
You're drunk, 24/7.
You're numbing yourself.
Is that a life? [SIGHS.]
You can make it better.
We can be better.
Together.
[JESSICA.]
Get back in the camper.
[ALISA.]
No.
No.
Not without you.
[JESSICA.]
I'm not the one with my face on an APB.
You trying to protect me? To protect people from you.
It's heroic.
I need you, too.
Just get in.
Please.
You ladies need help? No.
We're just stretching our legs.
[MAN.]
Careful out here in the dark.
Dangerous times.
[SIGHS DEEPLY.]
[EXCLAIMS.]
[DR.
TORRES.]
Trish? Trish, can you hear me? Her vitals are normal.
Strong, actually.
Then why won't she wake up? [DR.
TORRES.]
Trish? Trish? - Patsy! - [GASPS.]
Ow.
[CHUCKLES.]
Oh, sweetheart, you're back.
[CHUCKLES.]
She's back! She's okay.
[GASPS.]
I knew you'd make it.
It's that Walker spirit.
Water.
I need water.
You just used up two of your nine lives, Ms.
Walker.
Wasn't sure you'd make it.
Jessica? What happened? She's not any of our concern right now, baby.
- Is she okay? - Oh, for God's sake.
Some detective came by earlier.
He'll fill you in later.
How do you feel? [SIGHS.]
Like crap.
[DOROTHY.]
It's no wonder, given the horror show you put your body through.
The viruses seem to have cleared your system.
But we need to assess any lasting damage.
We're running more blood panels, and we need a stool and urine sample.
Here's a collection kit.
I'm sorry to disappoint, but I'm leaving.
Oh, like hell you are.
Ow! I'll leave you two alone.
Jessica could be in danger because of shit I stirred up.
- [DOOR OPENS.]
- Look at me.
- [DOOR CLOSES.]
- Do you accept that your life is a disaster? And that you've royally screwed up everything in it and that you're lying here in its wreckage? I have to do something.
[SIGHS.]
I can think of a hundred ways in which you're special, Pats, but hero ain't one of 'em.
She needs my help.
[SIGHS.]
And what exactly is a failed radio personality gonna do that trained law enforcement professionals and a superpowered woman can't? [SIGHS.]
Your bedside manner blows.
Well, I'm only human.
Same as you.
And they need a stool sample.
I found a route out of town via side roads.
It'll take longer to get to the border, but it's safer.
You could try.
Grab the keys out of the ignition, but I don't think it'll work.
What else you got? Stomping on the brake.
Diving out the window.
Punching you into a coma.
Last one might be tough.
Hence my not doing it.
Or you could just pull over.
And let you call in the National Guard? Then what? A lot of people would die.
Hence you're not doing that, either.
- I've put you in a bind.
- You meant to.
I just I want it to be hard for you to leave me.
[SCOFFS.]
I don't know what to do anymore.
I tried to convince you.
I tried to convict you.
I even tried to kill you.
You haven't tried to join me.
[MAN.]
I sold all my shoes At my Uncle Neal's - Da-do-ron-ron-ron, da-do-ron-ron - Okay.
[WOMAN.]
I want a burrito for my next meal Da-do-ron-ron-ron, da-do-ron-ron [MAN.]
You'll run over a nail And you'll get a flat Da-do-ron-ron-ron, da-do-ron-ron I've seen you trying to do something.
To find some meaning, to fulfill some promise.
- I could do that, too.
- How? We are the two most powerful women in the world.
We can do anything.
[LAUGHING.]
I won't leave Trish.
She's destroying herself because of you.
Thanks.
Like I didn't already feel shitty enough.
No.
People will always feel "less than" around us.
And that will make them either resent us or idealize us.
Even Karl.
[SCOFFS.]
Some days he put me on a pedestal.
Others, he probably wished he never met me.
Dimming our light, limping our way through life, that is not an option.
Not with the gifts we have.
If you say, "With great power comes great responsibility," I swear I'll throw up on you.
Wouldn't be the first time.
You were a barfy baby.
[ALISA CHUCKLES SOFTLY.]
[SIGHS.]
[EXHALES.]
[RECEPTIONIST.]
Hogarth, Chao and Benowitz.
- How may I direct your call? - Linda Chao, please.
[MAN.]
Linda Chao's office.
This is Millard Graves calling to confirm my meeting with Ms.
Chao this morning.
[TRIMMER WHIRRING.]
[SIGHS.]
[ALISA.]
We'd be an amazing team.
[SIGHS.]
You're not the first psychopath who's wanted to team up with me.
The last time one of us ended up dead.
You really think I'm like Kilgrave? Only if killing is still a viable option in your mind.
I don't want it to be.
I want to make up for what I've done.
Jessica.
Please.
- Look out! - [GASPS.]
Shit! - [JESSICA GRUNTS.]
- Oh! Oh.
Are you hurt? No.
Yeah, I'm okay.
God damn it.
- Oh, my God.
Damn it! - [GIRL COUGHING.]
Wait.
Shit! Wait! [EXPLOSION.]
Get the dad.
[MAN.]
Help! - [GRUNTS.]
I can't get out.
- [PANTS.]
[JESSICA.]
Ready? [SIGHS.]
Now.
We gotta go.
- [BOTH GRUNT.]
- [EXPLOSION.]
Come on.
[GROANS.]
Where's Trudy? - I got ya.
- Find Trudy.
Find Trudy.
- [JESSICA.]
Go.
- [TRUDY WHIMPERING.]
Hang on.
[TRUDY SCREAMING.]
[TRUDY GRUNTING.]
[PANTING.]
Here! Take my hand.
[GRUNTS.]
Shit.
[TRUDY GRUNTING.]
[TRUDY.]
My God! [TRUDY GRUNTING AND WHIMPERING.]
[MAN.]
Someone help me! Help! He's still alive! Here.
[ALISA.]
No, no, no, no.
The fire's too intense.
- I can't just let him die! - Here.
- No.
- Yes.
Save the family.
- Wait! Let me help! - Go! Come on.
- Oh, there she is.
Trudy.
- Mommy.
Call 911.
[EXPLOSION.]
[JESSICA GRUNTS.]
[PANTING.]
[MAN COUGHING.]
- Are you all right? - [SIGHS.]
- Are you hurt? - [ALISA.]
No.
God.
- [JESSICA.]
You? - [COUGHING.]
[BOTH PANTING.]
[ALISA GRUNTS.]
[BOTH PANTING.]
Oh.
[SIGHS.]
[INSTRUCTOR.]
Now we move forward into plank.
Belly lifts, tailbone tucks, and we arrive in upward-facing dog.
[SIGHS.]
Slowly move back into child's pose.
- [HOGARTH EXHALES.]
- And slowly roll up the spine to seated.
- One last inhale in - [BOTH INHALE.]
- And out - [BOTH EXHALE.]
Jeri, you've made terrific progress.
I'm just getting started.
[CHUCKLES.]
[KNOCK ON DOOR.]
- Where's Jessica? - I don't know.
- Did they find her mother? - I don't know.
You have no information about my escaped client or my investigator? I don't work for her anymore.
I've gone freelance.
- Well, I like your new dress code.
- [CHUCKLES.]
Back at you.
- I'll see you Tuesday.
- Yeah.
[SIGHS.]
Why are you here? Your office said you were working from home.
My partners have made the situation there untenable.
Well, I'm here to wrap up your case.
You mean steal my case from Jessica.
- Does it matter? - Not if you have something I want to hear.
I do.
I just came from a very informative meeting with your partner Linda Chao.
And this you'll want to see.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY.]
[JESSICA.]
That family can describe us.
And after that car flip, the cops are gonna know it's us.
[SIGHS.]
We need to get to the border.
Wait, what? "We"? Then "we" are doing this? Don't get choked up.
We still have to get out of this shitstorm.
Whoo-hoo! [LAUGHS.]
- Whoo! - All right.
All right.
If we wanna have a shot at crossing, I'm gonna have to make a phone call first.
[CHUCKLING.]
Yeah.
Whoo-freaking-hoo.
Thanks for coming.
- You okay? - Yeah.
I could've gotten a disposable phone and e-mailed you the pictures.
I just wanted to check on you.
The cops have been at the building.
They think your mom took you.
She did, kind of.
[SIGHS.]
Look, I'm sorry that you are involved.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY.]
Your mom needs papers.
Jessica, I told you I'd help.
All right? Where is she? Off-site.
Um It's not just my mom who needs papers.
Please tell me you're joking.
You're for real? So you're gonna what, go with her? She's a murderer.
- Jessica, she killed a cop.
- I know.
You can't want this.
She's forcing you.
[SOFTLY.]
No.
[SIGHS.]
I don't believe that.
You can't just go.
You have a life.
[SIGHS.]
You have us, me and Vido.
That, right there.
You connect yourself to your son with every thought.
You have no idea how isolated I've been.
I had no idea.
They'll come after you.
We'll make it.
I just need the papers.
[OSCAR SIGHS.]
Were you followed? No one's gonna follow me.
No one knows we're a thing.
- They searched my place? - Yeah.
Then they saw the painting you did.
They were in my place.
They saw my art.
Shit.
They're here? Why aren't they jumping? They want me to lead them to her.
[SIGHS.]
Then lead them.
Just get out of this.
Get down.
[OFFICER 1 GRUNTS.]
- [GRUNTS.]
- [OFFICER 2.]
Stop! NYPD! [GRUNTING.]
[OFFICER 1.]
Shit.
[OFFICER 2.]
Take the front.
Come on.
[OFFICER 1.]
Do you have her? [OFFICER 3.]
No.
Check those cars.
[GRUNTS.]
[SIRENS BLARING.]
[SIGHS.]
Let's just drive north.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
[CHAO.]
I don't appreciate being summoned.
And I don't appreciate a single thing about you, Linda.
I hope, uh, this news you have to tell us is that you've finally accepted our exit offer.
Facing death has made me reexamine my priorities.
To see that life is about people.
Choosing who you surround yourself with.
Choosing very carefully.
This is a business.
Not an ashram.
Are you taking the deal or not? I am.
We'll cut the check immediately.
Just add a few more zeroes to it.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
That offer was our last and final.
Guess we'll see you in court.
[MALCOLM.]
Linda Chao? [CHAO.]
I'm sure you've met with a number of firms, Mr.
Graves? - I've yet to be impressed.
- Good thing you contacted me.
You're aware of the nature of my client's business? [CHAO.]
Not an unfamiliar world to me.
- My partner - [MALCOLM.]
Mr.
Benowitz? [CHAO.]
He has contacts overseas who can handle your client's assets with discretion.
Even the simplest transactions can get complicated by government agencies.
[CHAO.]
Which are full of little men with littler bank accounts.
They just require the right incentive.
It goes on for another martini or two.
But let me summarize.
You've been laundering drug money.
My investigator lured it out of hot-to-trot here at the Chocolate Bar, was it? [STUTTERS.]
You hired him? Relax, Steven, I'm not gonna out you.
But honestly, if you would just come out, you would be so much less vulnerable.
I I I didn't tell him anything.
You told him enough.
He found out the rest.
There's absolutely nothing on that tape even resembling proof.
[CHUCKLES.]
Of course not.
I partnered with assholes, not idiots.
But just a whiff of impropriety can make clients run scared.
Not to mention those little men at the FBI.
What do you want? That generous severance? Double it.
And you'll destroy this tape? I'll keep it to myself.
I will leave today along with all my clients, including Rand.
- [SCOFFS.]
- That's half our billable hours.
Sixty-two percent, actually.
You'll bounce back someday.
[CHAO.]
You're not gonna expose us.
You have too many skeletons in your own seedy closet.
You should be very afraid of the woman who has absolutely nothing left to lose.
[SIGHS.]
[HOGARTH SIGHS.]
Why is it the most fun to scorch one's own little patch of earth? Another satisfied customer.
[CHUCKLES.]
Oh, please.
I am your one and only customer.
The satisfied part is true enough.
Does that mean I'm hired? I am the sole partner of a new law firm in service of several multi-billion dollar corporations.
You are unlicensed and inexperienced.
And I learned from the best.
Being qualified for Jessica's shingle doesn't qualify you for mine.
[SCOFFS.]
You knew that going in.
I do like the suit, though.
I do.
You would still be doing chaturangas and complaining about your office if I hadn't shown up.
You showed initiative.
You came through.
For which you are being handsomely paid.
[MALCOLM SIGHS.]
- Until next time.
- Hmm.
[DOOR CLOSES.]
[SIGHS.]
[EXHALES.]
I think we can get to Montreal in eight hours.
What about getting across the border? There's an Adirondack train in Vermont.
So we can ditch the camper and jump the train, literally.
The benefits of traveling with a powered person.
From Montreal, we'll make our way to Uruguay.
No.
Uruguay was Karl's place.
We should, I don't know, go to a war zone or something.
We have enough people gunning for us without dropping into a crossfire.
Oh, come on.
What we did back there? I want more.
We could I don't know deliver supplies to needy villages.
Or rescue old people.
Or Do you want a unitard and a cape, too? Well, one, I would totally rock a unitard.
And, two, I just want it to feel so gratifying.
Let's Let's get out of the suburbs first.
Oh, come on, another accident? Shit! Take the next turn.
What? It's a roadblock.
Slowly.
Jesus! They're not following us.
[RECORDED LAUGHTER PLAYING.]
What the hell is that? What is that, a phone? Oh, my God.
I forgot I had it.
The kid left it in here.
It's in that bag.
Oh, shit.
The kid or his parents must have gone to the cops.
[CELL PHONE CHIMES.]
[SIGHS.]
It's Detective Costa.
[CELL PHONE RINGS.]
[COSTA.]
Jessica? Jessica, listen to me.
We know you're helping her.
That makes you an accomplice.
I don't want to see you get hurt.
You're one of the good ones.
I believe that.
But you have to prove it.
Your mother's done.
Do you understand what I'm saying? It doesn't matter what she does next.
She crossed a line she can't come back from.
But you haven't.
Not yet.
Jessica? Are you listening? [CELL PHONE CRACKING.]
We get a location? [MAN.]
No pinpoint, but general vicinity.
Near one of our Westchester roadblocks.
Let's load in and move out.
I did this to you.
I'm going to get you killed.
No.
It's not over yet.
They don't have the manpower to block every street in Westchester.
We just have to keep driving west.
We'll find a crowded parking lot to ditch the camper.
I have an idea.
Come on, let's go.
[ENGINE STARTS.]
Dr.
Torres thinks you'll be here for a few days.
Meanwhile, I am gonna start assessing the damage, starting with your finances.
I doubt you'll be able to afford that apartment without a job.
I don't want you working for a while.
We need to let the brouhaha die down.
And then we can examine our options and see how to build you back up again.
Uh, build me? I'll take care of everything.
[TRISH.]
Where's Jessica? I swear to Christ, if you say Jessica needs her, I'll shove that badge right up your ass.
I'm glad to see you're alive.
I'm more concerned with finding Jessica and the psycho who kidnapped her.
Oh, for Chrissake! Mrs.
Walker, do you mind giving us a moment? [SIGHS.]
Do not get her involved.
I'm gonna go get your old room all ready.
That car accident Jessica was there, wasn't she? We think they hit a roadblock in Westchester.
- Westchester? - Does she know anybody out there? Why are you asking about Jessica's contacts when it's Alisa that's calling the shots? I'm afraid not.
Jessica is aiding and abetting her mother's escape.
No way.
She wouldn't help that psychopath.
Particularly one who tried to kill me.
She ran from the police.
She's hiding Alisa.
She's being forced.
We only get one mother.
That's a powerful bond, no matter how batshit crazy they might be.
- [SCOFFS.]
- I think you know that.
She wouldn't just leave me.
Maybe she thinks you're better off without her, - given what you did to yourself.
- [SCOFFS.]
Just think.
You know her best.
Is there any place she might be hiding out in and around Westchester? I have no idea.
If anything occurs to you I'll try and bring her in safely.
You'll try? [DOOR CLOSES.]
[GRUNTS.]
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING.]
[JESSICA.]
Hey I found a sailboat down at the pier.
It's just like the one you and PopPop used to sail.
Come on.
It's dark now.
They won't spot us on the water.
What are you doing? Hey.
What are you doing? We don't have time for this.
We have to go.
[SIGHS.]
I didn't bring us here for a walk down memory lane.
There are boats.
You should go.
Just walk away, baby.
What are you talking about? [MUSIC PLAYING.]
They're gonna see the lights.
Let them come.
It's good that it's here.
[JESSICA SCOFFS.]
So this is it, then? I will not be the cause of your death.
No.
I will not say goodbye again.
Don't say anything.
Bye, sweetheart.
[ALISA.]
No.
Wait.
Just let me do this.
Please.
[JESSICA SIGHS.]
What happened to being a team? Best dream I ever had.
I have gone as far as I can go.
No.
You don't get to quit.
Not after what you put me through.
I've done a lot of damage in my life.
But somehow you're standing on top of the rubble like a shining light.
Stop talking to me like I'm your baby Jesus.
"Hero" isn't a bad word, Jessica.
It's just someone who gives a shit and does something about it.
Well, I don't.
I don't give a shit.
Yes, you do.
You do.
It sucks.
And it hurts.
But you do.
You are far more capable than I ever was.
Maybe I don't have to be amazing.
Maybe I just made you.
- No.
I won't let you [GASPING.]
- [GUNSHOT.]
No! - You killed her! - Before she could kill you! [GRUNTING AND PANTING.]
The police would've shot you both [PANTING.]
I had to.
I had to save you.
Jess Jess Jess [SIRENS BLARING.]
Run.
[TRISH GRUNTING.]
[SIRENS BLARING.]
[BREATHING HEAVILY.]
[MAN.]
Let me see your hands! Back away from the body! -[GUNS CLICKING.]
[MAN ON WALKIE.]
West parking lot, near the bumper cars.
[JESSICA BREATHING HEAVILY.]
Lower your weapon.
Not a chance.
Don't you see what she's done? Lower your weapon.
Lower your weapons! You did the only thing you could, Jones.
There was no other way.
You did the right thing.
[BREATHING HEAVILY.]
[JESSICA.]
Everything changes.
And nothing changes.
People die.
More are born.
[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING.]
And in between we exist.
I never wanted to do more than that.
Just exist.
Just give me the cash, man! - Shit! - Oh, shit.
- [GUN COCKS.]
- [CASHIER.]
Shit! Goddamn money or I'll blow your brains out.
- Shit.
God damn it.
Not again.
- [MAN.]
Give me the cash, man! [GRUNTING.]
Bastard! You pig! You dog! I'm gonna kill you.
Then find your family and kill them, too! - It's over.
You won, okay? - Shut up! Get your goddamn phone and call the goddamn police.
- Now.
- [GRUNTS.]
[MAN GROANING.]
- [GROANS.]
- [SIGHS.]
Dial.
[GROANS AND GRUNTS.]
[CASHIER.]
Hello, I've been robbed.
Sonny's Grocery.
52nd and 10th.
You gonna pay for that? I run a business.
And in this shitty neighborhood.
He had a gun [ELEVATOR BELL DINGS.]
[TRISH.]
I called, texted, e-mailed.
I didn't want it to go down that way, but it had to be done.
It wasn't your call.
Yes, it was.
Because you couldn't make it.
You couldn't see how dangerous she was, only that she was your mother.
[SCOFFS.]
Well, if murder is how Trish Walker does hero, then get used to people being pissed off.
I'm not a hero.
I don't know what I am anymore.
I just know that I'm your sister.
I lost the only family I had.
Again.
It was always going to end that way.
It didn't have to be you.
[SIGHS.]
It didn't have to be you.
I look at you now and all I see is the person who killed my mother.
- [CELL PHONE VIBRATES.]
- [SIGHS.]
[SIGHS.]
[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS.]
- [TRISH GASPS.]
- [WOMAN.]
Oh, sorry.
[HOGARTH.]
160 square feet is not a second year associate's office.
It's a veal crate.
- That one.
- Hmm.
[HOGARTH.]
I'm also gonna need you to soundproof all of the conference rooms.
- [DOORBELL RINGS.]
- Mm-hmm.
Hmm? Mnh-mnh.
Six o'clock is here.
Get back to me with the numbers.
- Pryce.
- [CHENG.]
Jeri.
[HOGARTH.]
Thank you for coming.
I think you know my associate.
Come on in.
Have a seat.
I was surprised to hear from you, given I still can't deadlift a car.
Well, there are tasks for which Jessica Jones is not well-suited.
Some, like this one, she may even object to.
[CHENG.]
What's the job? You'll have complete autonomy.
A generous retainer.
- And the job is? - Business opportunity.
That Jessica Jones might object to.
Discretion is essential.
- [CHENG.]
That won't be a problem.
- For you.
What about your associate here? Is it legal? That is entirely up to you.
When do we start? Welcome to Jeryn Hogarth and Associates.
[THUNDER RUMBLING.]
[RAIN PATTERING.]
[TYPING.]
[SIGHS.]
[JESSICA.]
I've gone through life untethered, unconnected [THUNDER CRACKING.]
I wasn't even aware that I'd chosen that.
[DOOR LOCKING.]
[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS.]
[JESSICA.]
It took someone coming back from the dead to show me that I've been dead, too.
[KNOCKS.]
[OSCAR.]
It's open! [JESSICA.]
The problem is, I never really figured out how to live.
- [VIDO.]
Hi, Jessica.
- [JESSICA.]
What's up, Vido? Hey, you're here.
Still a standing invitation? [CHUCKLES.]
Always.
Come on.
Grab another plate, buddy.
[BOTH SPEAKING SPANISH.]
[VIDO CHUCKLES.]
- Yeah? It's not a big deal.
What's not a big deal? Papi got a show.
It's a small gallery no one's ever heard of.
Still.
What about my good news? [BOTH SPEAKING SPANISH.]
starting at the beginning You've been getting back to work? You got any cool cases you're working on? [VIDO.]
Yeah, did you save anybody today? Yeah.
Actually, yeah, I did.
What happened? Did you have to hit someone? After dinner, Vido.
Oh, come on, I wanna hear it now.
Well, I was buying whiskey at this liquor store and this guy came in, and he was all jumpy and dope-sick.
And I knew he was there to rob the place.
- Because of your super sense? - I don't have super sense.
Let her tell it.
Anyway, sure enough, the guy pulled out a gun.
It was a whole thing and I stopped it.
[VIDO.]
That's it? I may have thrown a bottle at his head.
[VIDO.]
Cool.
[OSCAR CHUCKLES.]
[DUCT TAPE RIPPING.]
[INHALES.]
What are you [BREATHING HEAVILY.]
- What did you do? - Hey, hey.
Is your head okay? There's some aspirin Where are we? - Wait.
- Where did you bring me? Jessica! Jessica! - Oh, shit.
- Jessica.
You hit me.
Spur of the moment.
I couldn't let you turn me in again.
Where are we? - Uh, in transit.
- To? It's up to you.
Then we're going to The Raft.
No.
Up to me, my ass.
I have already wasted too much of my life locked up, and there is another option.
You can reach me.
Not if I'm unconscious.
[SIGHS.]
You could have crushed my skull.
But I didn't.
I held back.
- [SCOFFS.]
Is that supposed to reassure me? - Yes! I controlled it.
Because you love me? Or because I carried you inside me, or because we're both powered, or because we've both lost too much.
We don't have to lose each other.
You're insane.
And you're my cure.
Do not put that on me.
And I'm yours.
I am not the one who's sick.
I help people.
I have a life.
You're drunk, 24/7.
You're numbing yourself.
Is that a life? [SIGHS.]
You can make it better.
We can be better.
Together.
[JESSICA.]
Get back in the camper.
[ALISA.]
No.
No.
Not without you.
[JESSICA.]
I'm not the one with my face on an APB.
You trying to protect me? To protect people from you.
It's heroic.
I need you, too.
Just get in.
Please.
You ladies need help? No.
We're just stretching our legs.
[MAN.]
Careful out here in the dark.
Dangerous times.
[SIGHS DEEPLY.]
[EXCLAIMS.]
[DR.
TORRES.]
Trish? Trish, can you hear me? Her vitals are normal.
Strong, actually.
Then why won't she wake up? [DR.
TORRES.]
Trish? Trish? - Patsy! - [GASPS.]
Ow.
[CHUCKLES.]
Oh, sweetheart, you're back.
[CHUCKLES.]
She's back! She's okay.
[GASPS.]
I knew you'd make it.
It's that Walker spirit.
Water.
I need water.
You just used up two of your nine lives, Ms.
Walker.
Wasn't sure you'd make it.
Jessica? What happened? She's not any of our concern right now, baby.
- Is she okay? - Oh, for God's sake.
Some detective came by earlier.
He'll fill you in later.
How do you feel? [SIGHS.]
Like crap.
[DOROTHY.]
It's no wonder, given the horror show you put your body through.
The viruses seem to have cleared your system.
But we need to assess any lasting damage.
We're running more blood panels, and we need a stool and urine sample.
Here's a collection kit.
I'm sorry to disappoint, but I'm leaving.
Oh, like hell you are.
Ow! I'll leave you two alone.
Jessica could be in danger because of shit I stirred up.
- [DOOR OPENS.]
- Look at me.
- [DOOR CLOSES.]
- Do you accept that your life is a disaster? And that you've royally screwed up everything in it and that you're lying here in its wreckage? I have to do something.
[SIGHS.]
I can think of a hundred ways in which you're special, Pats, but hero ain't one of 'em.
She needs my help.
[SIGHS.]
And what exactly is a failed radio personality gonna do that trained law enforcement professionals and a superpowered woman can't? [SIGHS.]
Your bedside manner blows.
Well, I'm only human.
Same as you.
And they need a stool sample.
I found a route out of town via side roads.
It'll take longer to get to the border, but it's safer.
You could try.
Grab the keys out of the ignition, but I don't think it'll work.
What else you got? Stomping on the brake.
Diving out the window.
Punching you into a coma.
Last one might be tough.
Hence my not doing it.
Or you could just pull over.
And let you call in the National Guard? Then what? A lot of people would die.
Hence you're not doing that, either.
- I've put you in a bind.
- You meant to.
I just I want it to be hard for you to leave me.
[SCOFFS.]
I don't know what to do anymore.
I tried to convince you.
I tried to convict you.
I even tried to kill you.
You haven't tried to join me.
[MAN.]
I sold all my shoes At my Uncle Neal's - Da-do-ron-ron-ron, da-do-ron-ron - Okay.
[WOMAN.]
I want a burrito for my next meal Da-do-ron-ron-ron, da-do-ron-ron [MAN.]
You'll run over a nail And you'll get a flat Da-do-ron-ron-ron, da-do-ron-ron I've seen you trying to do something.
To find some meaning, to fulfill some promise.
- I could do that, too.
- How? We are the two most powerful women in the world.
We can do anything.
[LAUGHING.]
I won't leave Trish.
She's destroying herself because of you.
Thanks.
Like I didn't already feel shitty enough.
No.
People will always feel "less than" around us.
And that will make them either resent us or idealize us.
Even Karl.
[SCOFFS.]
Some days he put me on a pedestal.
Others, he probably wished he never met me.
Dimming our light, limping our way through life, that is not an option.
Not with the gifts we have.
If you say, "With great power comes great responsibility," I swear I'll throw up on you.
Wouldn't be the first time.
You were a barfy baby.
[ALISA CHUCKLES SOFTLY.]
[SIGHS.]
[EXHALES.]
[RECEPTIONIST.]
Hogarth, Chao and Benowitz.
- How may I direct your call? - Linda Chao, please.
[MAN.]
Linda Chao's office.
This is Millard Graves calling to confirm my meeting with Ms.
Chao this morning.
[TRIMMER WHIRRING.]
[SIGHS.]
[ALISA.]
We'd be an amazing team.
[SIGHS.]
You're not the first psychopath who's wanted to team up with me.
The last time one of us ended up dead.
You really think I'm like Kilgrave? Only if killing is still a viable option in your mind.
I don't want it to be.
I want to make up for what I've done.
Jessica.
Please.
- Look out! - [GASPS.]
Shit! - [JESSICA GRUNTS.]
- Oh! Oh.
Are you hurt? No.
Yeah, I'm okay.
God damn it.
- Oh, my God.
Damn it! - [GIRL COUGHING.]
Wait.
Shit! Wait! [EXPLOSION.]
Get the dad.
[MAN.]
Help! - [GRUNTS.]
I can't get out.
- [PANTS.]
[JESSICA.]
Ready? [SIGHS.]
Now.
We gotta go.
- [BOTH GRUNT.]

Come on.
[GROANS.]
Where's Trudy? - I got ya.

[TRUDY.]
My God! [TRUDY GRUNTING AND WHIMPERING.]
[MAN.]
Someone help me! Help! He's still alive! Here.
[ALISA.]
No, no, no, no.
The fire's too intense.
- I can't just let him die! - Here.
- No.
- Yes.
Save the family.
- Wait! Let me help! - Go! Come on.
- Oh, there she is.
Trudy.
- Mommy.
Call 911.
[EXPLOSION.]
[JESSICA GRUNTS.]

[MAN COUGHING.]
- Are you all right? - [SIGHS.]
- Are you hurt? - [ALISA.]
No.

[BOTH PANTING.]
[ALISA GRUNTS.]
[BOTH PANTING.]
Oh.
[SIGHS.]
[INSTRUCTOR.]
Now we move forward into plank.
Belly lifts, tailbone tucks, and we arrive in upward-facing dog.
[SIGHS.]
Slowly move back into child's pose.
- [HOGARTH EXHALES.]
- And slowly roll up the spine to seated.
- One last inhale in - [BOTH INHALE.]
- And out - [BOTH EXHALE.]
Jeri, you've made terrific progress.
I'm just getting started.
[CHUCKLES.]
[KNOCK ON DOOR.]
- Where's Jessica? - I don't know.
- Did they find her mother? - I don't know.
You have no information about my escaped client or my investigator? I don't work for her anymore.
I've gone freelance.
- Well, I like your new dress code.
- [CHUCKLES.]
Back at you.
- I'll see you Tuesday.
- Yeah.
[SIGHS.]
Why are you here? Your office said you were working from home.
My partners have made the situation there untenable.
Well, I'm here to wrap up your case.
You mean steal my case from Jessica.
- Does it matter? - Not if you have something I want to hear.
I do.
I just came from a very informative meeting with your partner Linda Chao.
And this you'll want to see.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY.]
[JESSICA.]
That family can describe us.
And after that car flip, the cops are gonna know it's us.
[SIGHS.]
We need to get to the border.
Wait, what? "We"? Then "we" are doing this? Don't get choked up.
We still have to get out of this shitstorm.
Whoo-hoo! [LAUGHS.]
- Whoo! - All right.
All right.
If we wanna have a shot at crossing, I'm gonna have to make a phone call first.
[CHUCKLING.]
Yeah.
Whoo-freaking-hoo.
Thanks for coming.
- You okay? - Yeah.
I could've gotten a disposable phone and e-mailed you the pictures.
I just wanted to check on you.
The cops have been at the building.
They think your mom took you.
She did, kind of.
[SIGHS.]
Look, I'm sorry that you are involved.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY.]
Your mom needs papers.
Jessica, I told you I'd help.
All right? Where is she? Off-site.
Um It's not just my mom who needs papers.
Please tell me you're joking.
You're for real? So you're gonna what, go with her? She's a murderer.
- Jessica, she killed a cop.
- I know.
You can't want this.
She's forcing you.
[SOFTLY.]
No.
[SIGHS.]
I don't believe that.
You can't just go.
You have a life.
[SIGHS.]
You have us, me and Vido.
That, right there.
You connect yourself to your son with every thought.
You have no idea how isolated I've been.
I had no idea.
They'll come after you.
We'll make it.
I just need the papers.
[OSCAR SIGHS.]
Were you followed? No one's gonna follow me.
No one knows we're a thing.
- They searched my place? - Yeah.
Then they saw the painting you did.
They were in my place.
They saw my art.
Shit.
They're here? Why aren't they jumping? They want me to lead them to her.
[SIGHS.]
Then lead them.
Just get out of this.
Get down.
[OFFICER 1 GRUNTS.]
- [GRUNTS.]
- [OFFICER 2.]
Stop! NYPD! [GRUNTING.]
[OFFICER 1.]
Shit.
[OFFICER 2.]
Take the front.
Come on.
[OFFICER 1.]
Do you have her? [OFFICER 3.]
No.
Check those cars.
[GRUNTS.]
[SIRENS BLARING.]
[SIGHS.]
Let's just drive north.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
[CHAO.]
I don't appreciate being summoned.
And I don't appreciate a single thing about you, Linda.
I hope, uh, this news you have to tell us is that you've finally accepted our exit offer.
Facing death has made me reexamine my priorities.
To see that life is about people.
Choosing who you surround yourself with.
Choosing very carefully.
This is a business.
Not an ashram.
Are you taking the deal or not? I am.
We'll cut the check immediately.
Just add a few more zeroes to it.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
That offer was our last and final.
Guess we'll see you in court.
[MALCOLM.]
Linda Chao? [CHAO.]
I'm sure you've met with a number of firms, Mr.
Graves? - I've yet to be impressed.
- Good thing you contacted me.
You're aware of the nature of my client's business? [CHAO.]
Not an unfamiliar world to me.
- My partner - [MALCOLM.]
Mr.
Benowitz? [CHAO.]
He has contacts overseas who can handle your client's assets with discretion.
Even the simplest transactions can get complicated by government agencies.
[CHAO.]
Which are full of little men with littler bank accounts.
They just require the right incentive.
It goes on for another martini or two.
But let me summarize.
You've been laundering drug money.
My investigator lured it out of hot-to-trot here at the Chocolate Bar, was it? [STUTTERS.]
You hired him? Relax, Steven, I'm not gonna out you.
But honestly, if you would just come out, you would be so much less vulnerable.
I I I didn't tell him anything.
You told him enough.
He found out the rest.
There's absolutely nothing on that tape even resembling proof.
[CHUCKLES.]
Of course not.
I partnered with assholes, not idiots.
But just a whiff of impropriety can make clients run scared.
Not to mention those little men at the FBI.
What do you want? That generous severance? Double it.
And you'll destroy this tape? I'll keep it to myself.
I will leave today along with all my clients, including Rand.
- [SCOFFS.]
- That's half our billable hours.
Sixty-two percent, actually.
You'll bounce back someday.
[CHAO.]
You're not gonna expose us.
You have too many skeletons in your own seedy closet.
You should be very afraid of the woman who has absolutely nothing left to lose.
[SIGHS.]
[HOGARTH SIGHS.]
Why is it the most fun to scorch one's own little patch of earth? Another satisfied customer.
[CHUCKLES.]
Oh, please.
I am your one and only customer.
The satisfied part is true enough.
Does that mean I'm hired? I am the sole partner of a new law firm in service of several multi-billion dollar corporations.
You are unlicensed and inexperienced.
And I learned from the best.
Being qualified for Jessica's shingle doesn't qualify you for mine.
[SCOFFS.]
You knew that going in.
I do like the suit, though.
I do.
You would still be doing chaturangas and complaining about your office if I hadn't shown up.
You showed initiative.
You came through.
For which you are being handsomely paid.
[MALCOLM SIGHS.]
- Until next time.
- Hmm.
[DOOR CLOSES.]
[SIGHS.]
[EXHALES.]
I think we can get to Montreal in eight hours.
What about getting across the border? There's an Adirondack train in Vermont.
So we can ditch the camper and jump the train, literally.
The benefits of traveling with a powered person.
From Montreal, we'll make our way to Uruguay.
No.
Uruguay was Karl's place.
We should, I don't know, go to a war zone or something.
We have enough people gunning for us without dropping into a crossfire.
Oh, come on.
What we did back there? I want more.
We could I don't know deliver supplies to needy villages.
Or rescue old people.
Or Do you want a unitard and a cape, too? Well, one, I would totally rock a unitard.
And, two, I just want it to feel so gratifying.
Let's Let's get out of the suburbs first.
Oh, come on, another accident? Shit! Take the next turn.
What? It's a roadblock.
Slowly.
Jesus! They're not following us.
[RECORDED LAUGHTER PLAYING.]
What the hell is that? What is that, a phone? Oh, my God.
I forgot I had it.
The kid left it in here.
It's in that bag.
Oh, shit.
The kid or his parents must have gone to the cops.
[CELL PHONE CHIMES.]
[SIGHS.]
It's Detective Costa.
[CELL PHONE RINGS.]
[COSTA.]
Jessica? Jessica, listen to me.
We know you're helping her.
That makes you an accomplice.
I don't want to see you get hurt.
You're one of the good ones.
I believe that.
But you have to prove it.
Your mother's done.
Do you understand what I'm saying? It doesn't matter what she does next.
She crossed a line she can't come back from.
But you haven't.
Not yet.
Jessica? Are you listening? [CELL PHONE CRACKING.]
We get a location? [MAN.]
No pinpoint, but general vicinity.
Near one of our Westchester roadblocks.
Let's load in and move out.
I did this to you.
I'm going to get you killed.
No.
It's not over yet.
They don't have the manpower to block every street in Westchester.
We just have to keep driving west.
We'll find a crowded parking lot to ditch the camper.
I have an idea.
Come on, let's go.
[ENGINE STARTS.]
Dr.
Torres thinks you'll be here for a few days.
Meanwhile, I am gonna start assessing the damage, starting with your finances.
I doubt you'll be able to afford that apartment without a job.
I don't want you working for a while.
We need to let the brouhaha die down.
And then we can examine our options and see how to build you back up again.
Uh, build me? I'll take care of everything.
[TRISH.]
Where's Jessica? I swear to Christ, if you say Jessica needs her, I'll shove that badge right up your ass.
I'm glad to see you're alive.
I'm more concerned with finding Jessica and the psycho who kidnapped her.
Oh, for Chrissake! Mrs.
Walker, do you mind giving us a moment? [SIGHS.]
Do not get her involved.
I'm gonna go get your old room all ready.
That car accident Jessica was there, wasn't she? We think they hit a roadblock in Westchester.
- Westchester? - Does she know anybody out there? Why are you asking about Jessica's contacts when it's Alisa that's calling the shots? I'm afraid not.
Jessica is aiding and abetting her mother's escape.
No way.
She wouldn't help that psychopath.
Particularly one who tried to kill me.
She ran from the police.
She's hiding Alisa.
She's being forced.
We only get one mother.
That's a powerful bond, no matter how batshit crazy they might be.
- [SCOFFS.]
- I think you know that.
She wouldn't just leave me.
Maybe she thinks you're better off without her, - given what you did to yourself.
- [SCOFFS.]
Just think.
You know her best.
Is there any place she might be hiding out in and around Westchester? I have no idea.
If anything occurs to you I'll try and bring her in safely.
You'll try? [DOOR CLOSES.]
[GRUNTS.]
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING.]
[JESSICA.]
Hey I found a sailboat down at the pier.
It's just like the one you and PopPop used to sail.
Come on.
It's dark now.
They won't spot us on the water.
What are you doing? Hey.
What are you doing? We don't have time for this.
We have to go.
[SIGHS.]
I didn't bring us here for a walk down memory lane.
There are boats.
You should go.
Just walk away, baby.
What are you talking about? [MUSIC PLAYING.]
They're gonna see the lights.
Let them come.
It's good that it's here.
[JESSICA SCOFFS.]
So this is it, then? I will not be the cause of your death.
No.
I will not say goodbye again.
Don't say anything.
Bye, sweetheart.
[ALISA.]
No.
Wait.
Just let me do this.
Please.
[JESSICA SIGHS.]
What happened to being a team? Best dream I ever had.
I have gone as far as I can go.
No.
You don't get to quit.
Not after what you put me through.
I've done a lot of damage in my life.
But somehow you're standing on top of the rubble like a shining light.
Stop talking to me like I'm your baby Jesus.
"Hero" isn't a bad word, Jessica.
It's just someone who gives a shit and does something about it.
Well, I don't.
I don't give a shit.
Yes, you do.
You do.
It sucks.
And it hurts.
But you do.
You are far more capable than I ever was.
Maybe I don't have to be amazing.
Maybe I just made you.
- No.
I won't let you [GASPING.]
- [GUNSHOT.]
No! - You killed her! - Before she could kill you! [GRUNTING AND PANTING.]
The police would've shot you both [PANTING.]
I had to.
I had to save you.

There was no other way.
You did the right thing.

You gonna pay for that? I run a business.
And in this shitty neighborhood.
He had a gun [ELEVATOR BELL DINGS.]
[TRISH.]
I called, texted, e-mailed.
I didn't want it to go down that way, but it had to be done.
It wasn't your call.
Yes, it was.
Because you couldn't make it.
You couldn't see how dangerous she was, only that she was your mother.
[SCOFFS.]
Well, if murder is how Trish Walker does hero, then get used to people being pissed off.
I'm not a hero.
I don't know what I am anymore.
I just know that I'm your sister.
I lost the only family I had.
Again.
It was always going to end that way.
It didn't have to be you.

Thank you for coming.
I think you know my associate.
Come on in.
Have a seat.
I was surprised to hear from you, given I still can't deadlift a car.
Well, there are tasks for which Jessica Jones is not well-suited.
Some, like this one, she may even object to.
[CHENG.]
What's the job? You'll have complete autonomy.
A generous retainer.
- And the job is? - Business opportunity.
That Jessica Jones might object to.
Discretion is essential.
- [CHENG.]
That won't be a problem.
- For you.
What about your associate here? Is it legal? That is entirely up to you.

What happened? Did you have to hit someone? After dinner, Vido.
Oh, come on, I wanna hear it now.
Well, I was buying whiskey at this liquor store and this guy came in, and he was all jumpy and dope-sick.
And I knew he was there to rob the place.
- Because of your super sense? - I don't have super sense.
Let her tell it.
Anyway, sure enough, the guy pulled out a gun.
It was a whole thing and I stopped it.
