Speaker A
Yes, I'm a private investigator. I am Barbara Schlattman. This is my husband, Bob. We just flew in from Omaha to find her missing daughter. He's back. It's been a year. Jess, you saw him die. You saw his death certificate. He had that one-month anniversary night, and now one month from the day he took Hope. He's doing the lingerie, the gift, the restaurant, the hotel. God, thank God it's not my format.
Speaker A
anniversary night and now one month from the day he took hope he's doing the lingerie the gift the restaurant the hotel God thank God it's not my format - no sweetheart she'll be okay you just have to keep her away from the man who
Speaker A
No, sweetheart, she'll be okay. You just have to keep her away from the man who took her. Took her. He escaped. Smile knowing it's real means you got to make a decision: one, keep denying it, or two, do something about it. Come back here, Jessica. It's not your fault. If your—he said you left him there sometime. You should have stayed.
Speaker A
mad he wants to make me suffer mm-hmm like he's house how how did he suffer from the accident is he injured hope I need to know so I can get him no he'll control him and he'll make you dizzy what shape was
Speaker A
So he's mad. He wants to make me suffer. Mm-hmm. Like his house. How? How did he suffer from the accident? Is he injured? Hope, I need to know so I can get him. No, he'll control him, and he'll make you dizzy. What shape was Killgrave in? How badly hurt? One of his kidneys had been destroyed in an accident. The other one started to break down. No anesthesia. It did the whole thing with an epidural. He refused to be put under surgical anesthesia like propofol, sufentanil. It shuts down different functions.
Speaker A
functions that's it that's his weakness you tossed a man twice your size across the bar with one hand I saw you and you saw me I don't know what I saw you can I'm unbreakable take care of it
Speaker A
That's it. That's his weakness. You tossed a man twice your size across the bar with one hand. I saw you, and you saw me. I don't know what I saw. You can—I'm unbreakable. Take care of it.
Speaker A
self-preservation be damned it's admirable but my question is if there really is a man the ability to describe someone anyone anywhere do whatever he wanted them to do since I'm here insulting him would be one factor oh let's say stupid and extreme everyone has freedom anywhere you might wanna
Speaker A
She died. Wait, you're dismissing the possibility that Hope is telling the truth, but she was telepathically compelled to kill their own parents? Like you believe this Killgrave is real? Trish, I want to applaud your courage. You've always been a hero to the downtrodden.
Speaker A
to prove it which person you want me alive tell me why let me hear your voice I found an envelope my name on it instructions inside told me to go to a warehouse on 14th innings that's the kimono area we've got killed
Speaker A
Self-preservation be damned. It's admirable, but my question is, if there really is a man with the ability to describe someone, anyone, anywhere, do whatever he wanted them to do, since I'm here insulting him would be one factor. Oh, let's say stupid and extreme. Everyone has freedom anywhere. You might want to make it kill yourself or worse.
Speaker A

My life was literally in your hands. I have a bruise to prove it. Which person you want me alive? Tell me why. Let me hear your voice. I found an envelope, my name on it. Instructions inside told me to go to a warehouse on 14th innings. That's the kimono area. We've got Kill.
