The Sentry

Next on his list is journalist Mallory Gibbs. However, he soon begins to hear the slaughtered Sentries’ voices in his head, causing him to physically lash out against Jessica Jones and Mallory. As a fight erupts, Mallory attempts to save the civilians caught in the crossfire. She then mentally enters Ryan’s head. Here, she encounters the spirits of those Ryan has killed: Farhad Anand, Marv Chow, Rosalinda Bruno, and Deniz Derya.
