“I’m hoping...there’s a logical explanation for all this.” “My daughter.” “I know. I’m sorry. We all knew it was a long shot.” “I still believe.”
Kabby Week 2017 Day Three - Under-appreciated Moment (Kane confronts Abby in ‘Murphy’s Law’)
I love this scene so much - it’s not romantic by any means, but it’s so powerful. I love Kane’s genuine sympathy for Abby’s loss of Clarke. I love Abby’s blind, stubborn faith that she’s still alive. Most of all I love Kane’s little nod of acceptance - he doesn’t believe for a moment that Clarke is alive, but he understands why Abby needs to, and he doesn’t come up with a smart reply or argue further. This isn’t a scene of two mortal enemies furiously clashing; it’s a scene of two good people who are both desperately trying to do the right thing...but who find themselves on opposite sides and simply cannot make the other understand. It’s a lovely, sincere, intimately framed little human moment between Marcus and Abby, before he moves on to his questioning and they become Councillor Kane and Councillor Griffin once again.
