Now You're Mine

"You're dreaming if you think we're getting out of here. You shot a female cop in front of 100 people." "All people will remember is Luke Cage going all with a bitch and jumping off a balcony." "What they're gonna remember is Luke Cage running from the bullets." "All they know outside is that Cage lost his mind, shots were fired, and it's a standoff. Confusion is our friend. We kill Luke and Misty, suddenly, we're the heroes who stopped the Harlem Menace. For all they know, he killed her. With them dead, we control the story."
