Belisathra Mede

Description: 

On the Mols Hlarsis quest to Deal with his escaped slave Alju-Deekjus I was able to convince Belisathra Mede to return the slave to his owner, she told me to tell 'him' (Who?) to let him know there'll be a guard there for the pickup in an hour. However when I talk to Mols Hlarsis my only option is to tell him I haven't gotten retribution yet or to try convince him to give up. The same thing happens when I talk to Alju-Deekjus whom I previously told I'd help (To not turn him hostile to me). However when I go back to him and tell him 'I've changed my mind' the dialogue just gets stuck in an endless loop.

So where do I go from here? I've exhausted all dialogue with everybody involved, my journal says I've "Convinced the Ministry of Justice to surrender Alju-Deekjus to Mols Hlarsis" but it just isn't progressing from there.

When I talk to Belisathra Mede about it her dialogue just starts looping asking why she should overturn the verdict, to which I can convince her or back out yet again.

Is there a console command I can use to fix this in the meanwhile?

Okay so I made a fresh

Okay so I made a fresh character, set her speechcraft to 100 and ran to quickly do this quest. After admiring Belisathra Mede a little I was able to get her to return the slave. Then all I needed to do was talk to Mols about Retribution and he thanked me and gave me the gold.

This makes me think the issue might be because I agreed to help the slave way back at the beginning. The quest now thinks I'm intent on helping him and won't let me finish the quest in Mols favour short of killing the slave.
