Jessica Jones turns the tables on Man Mountain Marko and beats him until he tells her it was R. Zoumas who hired him. On a golf course, Jess confronts Zoumas, a corrupt mover-and-shaker. He tells her President Bush reneged on promises that Zoumas paid for and she was supposed to expose the Captain America tape to make Bush look bad, since the Captain was an associate of his. Zoumas and all his bodyguards are picked up by S.H.I.E.L.D. and flown away. Zoumas's candidate Steven Keaton drops out of the race. Jessica is visited by Steve Rogers, who thanks her.
