- "Are you just gonna let that thing out in the world?"
"That thing is my mother."
"She ripped my friend apart." - ―Pryce Cheng and Jessica Jones[src]
The Assassination of Nick Spanos was an attempt by Alisa Jones to stop Nick Spanos from investigating Jessica Jones.
Background[]
- "You can't drop the lawsuit against Jones without consulting the client, me."
"Well, given that you work for me, I felt confident you would agree."
"I don't, so I'm hiring a new firm to take on my case." - ―Pryce Cheng and Jeri Hogarth[src]
Pryce Cheng confronted Jeri Hogarth at her office, asking her why she stopped backing him on his charges against Jessica Jones. Hogarth told him he should stop fighting battles he cannot win, and said that he wouldn't find anything on Jones. Cheng noticed that there was something different with her, not knowing that she had ALS, and told her he had hired a new firm and hoped she could sort out what's wrong with her.[2]

Under orders from Pryce Cheng, Nick Spanos walked into Jessica Jones' Apartment Building and into Alias Investigations Office, in which he began to collect all of Jones' evidences on her case. Closing his bags, he hid in the shadows as Malcolm Ducasse and his date drunkenly stumble into the apartment. Spanos moved out and towards his van, relaying to Cheng that he had cleared her office; however, he was suddenly attacked by Alisa Jones, crying out over the line as he was brutally killed in the back of the van.[2]

Jessica Jones and Trish Walker went to Jones' apartment with Inez Green in the backseat. Jones got out of the car to find the police outside her building. Malcolm Ducasse told her to run, since the police thought she killed him, but the police saw her and arrested her for the murder of Cheng's friend, Nick Spanos.[2]
