"It wasn't on my order." Malcolm said

"Me? I'm dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly... stupid."- Jack Sparrow, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl

"There will come a time when you have a chance to do the right thing. I love those moments. I like to wave at them as they pass by."- Elizabeth Swann and Jack Sparrow, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

"Curious. Your friends appear to be quite desperate, Jack. Perhaps they no longer believe that a gathering of squabbling pirates can defeat the Flying Dutchman. And so despair leads to betrayal. And you and I are no strangers to betrayal, are we, Jack? [Jack, who has been looking through various containers, stops and glances at a P mark on his arm] [turning to face Jack] It's not here, Jack. What? What isn't? The Heart of Davy Jones is safely aboard the Dutchman, and so unavailable for use as leverage to satisfy your debt to the good Captain. By my reckoning, that debt has been settled. By your death... yet here you are. Close your eyes and pretend it's all a bad dream. That's how I get by."- Lord Cutler Beckett and Jack Sparrow, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

"Clergyman, on the off chance that this does not go well for me, I would like you to note it-hearing now-that I am fully prepared to believe in whatever I must, and be welcomed into that place where all the "goody-goodies" want to go once they pop their clogs. Savvy? We have a word for that, Jack. You can convert. I was thinking more of an as-needed basis."- Jack Sparrow and Philip Swift, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

"Well that's a problem." Jeremy said. "Conspiring to kill a pack brother is a captital offense. If Andrew acted on orders from someone he thought of as an alpha, he can't be held responsible. But if he acted alone- or with his family- the punishment is death. That's the law."

"What? No I-" Andrew cried out but shut up with a look from Malcolm.

"Are you alpha?" Malcolm asked.

Jeremy shook his head. "No."

"Then you can't make that decision." Malcolm said

"It's not a decision. It's pack law." Jeremy said. "If Andrew acted on your command, he lives. If not, he dies. The only person who can 'decide' anything is you. Tell us what happened and, if necessary, the punishment will be carried out."

"By you?" Malcolm said, walking over to stand behind Andrew. "That is the Law, you know. He tried to kill you, therefore it's your right- and duty- to kill him yourself." He met Jeremy's gaze. "Can you do that... Son?"

Jeremy looked into Malcolm's eyes. "The question isn't how far I'll go, but how far you will... Father."

They locked gazes for a moment. Then Malcolm snarled, reached up, and broke Andrew's neck. "That's how far I'll go." he said as Andrew's body fell to the floor.

The room went silent. Jeremy paled, shocked as everyone. Raymond stared at his son's body, face contorting with pain. Then he glanced up at Malcolm and, for a second, rage replaced the grief. Malcolm tensed. Then Raymond dropped his gaze, got to his feet, put his arm around Daniel and led him from the room. A few moments later, the front door clicked shut behind them.

Malcolm launched himself at Jeremy, face twisted in a snarl. Clay lunged into his path, and threw him against the wall. He recovered and shot back. Clay braced himself for the attack, but he veered past, heading for Jeremy again. He grabbed Malcolm by the shoulders, who twisted and knocked his feet out from under him, but Clay kept his hold and they both went down.

Once down, and fighting, it should have been a fair match. Yet instead of trying to incapacitate Clay, Malcolm just kept trying to throw him off, his attention still fixed on Jeremy. Within minutes, Clay had him pinned, his forearm jammed against his throat.

As Clay pressed down, he barely struggled and, for a moment, he thought that this was what he wanted- a wolf's death. But then they locked eyes and, as his widened in disbelief, Clay realized he hadn't struggled because he hadn't really thought he'd be killed. But when he looked into Clay's face, he saw his mistake. Whatever bond he had thought they shared only went one way. And when he saw that, a look passed over his face, something akin to grief.

"Clayton." Jeremy said sharply. "Let him up."

Clay stopped pressing down on Malcolm's windpipe and looked up at Jeremy. "We can't trust him, Jer. You know we can't."

"Let him up and he'll leave. There's nothing here for him." Jeremy said. When he saw Clay hesitate, he added a soft "please."

As much as Clay longed to finish what he'd begun, he knew Jeremy was right. With the Santoses gone, the fight for Alpha was over. Jeremy had won. To begin his reign by condoning the death of his defeated opponent would taint his Alphahood forever. So he grabbed Malcolm by the arm and yanked him to his feet. As he did, he leaned over him and whispered in his ear, too low for Jeremy to hear. "I'll be waiting for an excuse. Remember that." Without waiting for a response or a reaction, Clay twisted him around, grabbed him by the shoulders, and escorted him to the door.
