Assassination of Nick Spanos

The Assassination of Nick Spanos is a successful attempt to kill Nick Spanos in order to stop investigating Jessica Jones.

Background
Pryce Cheng confronts Jeri Hogarth at her office, asking her why she stopped backing him on his charges against Jessica Jones. Hogarth tells him he should stop fighting battles he cannot win, and says he won't find anything on Jessica. Cheng can tell there's something different with her, not knowing she has ALS, and tells her he's hired a new firm and hopes she sorts out what's wrong with her.

Assassination
Under orders of Pryce Cheng, Nick Spanos walked into Jessica Jones' Apartment Building and into Alias Investigations Office, in which he began to collect all of Jessica Jones' evidences on her case. Closing his bags, he hid in the shadows as Malcolm Ducasse and his date drunkingly stubble into the apartment. He moved out and towards his van, relaying to Cheng that he had cleared her office; however, Spanos was suddenly attacked by a super-powered woman, crying out over the line as he was brutally killed in the back of the van.

Aftermath
Jessica Jones and Trish Walker go to Jessica's apartment with Inez Green in the backseat. Jessica get's out of the car to find the police outside her building. Malcolm Ducasse tells her to run, as they think she killed him, but the police see her and arrest her for the murder of Cheng's friend.
