Previously on Pearson...
- _ - You really sold your soul.
I believe in a lot of the same things you do.
I'm just a lot smarter about trying to get them done.
It looks like I'm standing in the same place you are
by staying true to myself.
Well, the next time you want to be true to yourself,
don't take me down with you.
Can they just throw us out like this?
It was supposed to be 90 days.
- Act of God. - This wasn't God.
I want to see progress on North Park this week, or I'm out.
You were right. I am seeing someone.
I'm in a relationship.
Stephanie Novak has MS.
I had to tell her.
She can't work five feet from you
and not know what's going on.
My ex-husband had ALS.
I don't know why I'm telling you this.
Maybe it's because I'm here.
Keep your distance from her for a while.
Wake up! You're not keeping an eye on her.
She's keeping an eye on you.
A man died. It was my fault.
Imagine I'm this man's father.
What would you say to me?
I'd say Tommy Diehl didn't deserve to die.
Don't bother looking in there unless you want leftover Chinese
and, uh... oh, half a grapefruit.
There's an open bottle of white.
Oh, yes, please.
You know, after all that room service,
I was kind of looking forward to a home-cooked meal.
Start looking forward to takeout.
Hey, whatever happened to the Jessica Pearson
who used to cook me beef bourguignon?
Did I do that?
- Yes, you did. - Oh, yeah.
I was wooing you.
- Oh, you were wooing me, huh? - Mm-hmm, yeah.
Welcome home.
Do you have to leave right away?
Oh, I'm not sure yet.
I'm hoping to stay a day or two, but, uh, we'll see.
Is everything all right? Is it the trial?
Was that him back there?
Nick D'Amato.
Oh.
I mean, you two seemed pretty familiar.
I was talking to him about Quentin's illness
and I got choked up.
- Quentin's illness? - Yeah.
J, you barely open up to me about that.
The mayor's wife has MS.
I just found out about it. That's why it came up.
I'm going straight to hell, aren't I?
Oh, I appreciate the jealousy.
Oh?
You're gonna turn this into a good thing?
When I only have you for a day or two?
Yeah, damn right I am.
Come on, boys. You're gonna be late.
And I know Sister Mary doesn't want you to be late.
Oh, my gosh.
- Okay, what's for lunch? - Peanut butter and jelly!
How'd you know? Yes, peanut butter and jelly.
He knows because we have it every day.
Yeah!
How do you know the Buckwheat Boyz?
- The who? - From Mario Kart!
- Who? - From Mario Kart.
I don't know what that is. Let's go.
Hey, slow down, babe.
Mom, look! A transformer.
- Can we go closer? - No, baby.
We got to get to that bus stop, or you're gonna be late.
All right.
Come on, baby.
- Whee! - Let's go.
Hi, you've reached the cell phone of Keri Allen.
Please leave the date and time of your call
and don't forget your phone number.
- Hey. - What's up?
I didn't know you were here. I thought you left.
I'm here.
I was hoping maybe you could help me with my shot.
Yeah, of course. You still nervous?
Oh, I just hate looking at it.
Thanks.
Sexy.
Stop it.
Ready?
I wish I could go to the conference with you next week.
Wait, you're not going?
- Steph. - You will be fine.
You're my biggest asset.
How am I supposed to talk to Garcetti
about a homeless initiative without you there?
You're smarter than I am.
Oh, yeah, well, you're smart enough.
Isn't that what Obama said about Hillary?
He said, "You're likable enough."
What?
He said she was likable enough.
Right.
Well, he got past it.
Yeah. He did.

Shit.
Jessica, hi! I'm on my way.
Um, I can be there in less than, um...
- Yoli, relax. - No, no, no.
I can Uber if you need me to, um, book it.
No, don't book it.
I'm taking the morning off.
Oh, okay.
Is everything okay?
Uh, yeah. That's, uh... that's what I was gonna ask you.
No, ev... everything's fine.
I-I will need that updated list
of possible aldermans we talked about.
Would you stop that?
Oh, yeah, yeah. That's the first thing I'm gonna do.
And, um, what should I tell the mayor if he asks?
'Cause you know he's gonna ask.
Tell him I'm out of pocket.
Out of pocket. Listen to you with the jargon.
- Yoli. - Uh, yeah?
I'm hanging up now.
Okay. Um, have... have fun.
Uh, I've got to go.
- Um... - Oh.
You know how much I love you, bebita.
Sí, Mami.
Okay, Mami, I got to go.
I'm so proud of you.
Ma, I know. I know. You tell me every day.
Okay? I got to go.
- Okay. - Bye, Papi.
- Adios, mi cielo. - Te amo.
- Okay.
Thanks, Ma.
Okay, bye!
- Hi. - Can I help you?
Uh, I'm Angela.
Jessica's cousin.
Right.
Is she expecting you?
Uh, actually, I was just in the neighborhood and...
- Angela. Hi. - Hey.
Sorry just to drop by like this.
Uh, no, no. I'm glad you did. Come on in.
Did you meet Jeff?
We just met.
Is something wrong?
Um, actually, I'm not too sure.
When I left with the boys this morning,
there was one of those demolition cranes outside.
They're not supposed to start work for another two months.
Yeah, sometimes these shady-ass developers
start tearing buildings down before everyone's even out.
- Let me look into it. - Thanks.
And you know I wouldn't barge in like this.
It's just, Mark has some asthma
and I don't want him inhaling all that dust if they're gonna start up.
I'll look into it first thing.
- Thanks. - Yes.
Ooh, yes. Uh, nice meeting you.
Yeah.
Good for you.
- Okay, bye. - Okay, bye.
4-8-7. No, it's an A.
Okay, all right. Bye.
I'm a little busy.
- You don't have 60 seconds? - Uh, no.
Between the lease for Lincoln Yards
and the massive corporate welfare
that you promised Ickaris,
which the city can't afford, not really.
- I'm sorry. - About the tax break?
For snapping at you when you asked about Steph.
You were being kind.
I shouldn't have taken it out on you.
Wow, I haven't seen a mea culpa like that
since you pretended to care about the parking meter mess.
I mean it, Keri.
I'm trying.
- Why? - What do you mean why?
Why? Uh, I'm fine.
I mean, if it bothers you that I bring her up,
it makes you feel guilty, then I won't bring her up.
- My guilt's over you. - Me?
I don't want you sitting around with this on your mind.
I don't want you putting your life on hold.
I'm not putting my life on hold.
Are you talking about men?
Do you really want to have this conversation right now?
Have my coffee?
So much for being out of pocket.
Sorry to get your hopes up.
I work in City Hall.
I'm used to people flip-flopping.
Were you able to find anything?
After getting the total runaround from that witch in Buildings,
I remembered my friend Isaiah from CHA
had access to everything you needed.
And it looks like that rico como mierda
got an emergency permit to start phased demolition.
He also got a waiver for the asbestos abatement.
In other words?
Well, he starts on Monday. He doesn't care who he poisons.
Son of a bitch.
If you don't mind me asking,
why is North Park so important to you?
I thought the mayor was supporting redevelopment there.
I'm sorry.
No. I have relatives who live there...
who soon won't have a place to live.
- On the South Side? - Mm-hmm.
Wait, I don't understand. I thought you were, like...
La rica como mierda?
No, no, no. No. That's not what I wanted to...
that's not what I was gonna say.
You didn't have to. And I am.
But it, uh...
it seems they'd rather live on the street
than to accept my help.
Mm, I get it.
My parents are proud like that.
Well, your parents aren't about to lose their home.
Excuse me.
- Did you get Sean's present? - I love it.
It's right here on the desk.
Hey, you see that, buddy?
Uh, Grandpa's got to make a real building now.
All right, we miss you, Dad.
Yeah, I miss you too, baby girl.
Got to go.
Tell me, Pat.
Exactly how much did you slip that woman in Buildings
to make this happen?
There's gambling in Casablanca? I'm shocked.
Don't get cute with me. We had a goddamn deal.
You promised my family 90 days.
And I was gonna honor that deal,
but I didn't have a choice.
You know, based on that phone call,
there's a human being in there somewhere.
So what happened?
That little devil on your shoulder tell you not to do it?
No, Albert Chan told me not to.
Who the hell is Albert Chan?
He's a 30-year-old billionaire
who's buying up half of Chicago.
Get used to hearing his name.
He called in his loan, didn't he?
It's business, Jessica.
No, if it was business, you'd get the money somewhere else.
Banks have all tightened their belts since '06.
Yeah, for regular people.
But rich people can always get more money.
It's why they're rich.
Look, we can go around and round on this,
but it's not gonna make a difference.
I had no choice.
I'll tell that to my cousin and her boys
who are about to breathe in all that asbestos.
Look, don't make me out to be the monster here.
Chan is.
With or without him, this day was gonna come anyway.
It's time to move on.
I couldn't agree more.
If you're here about the alderman vacancy,
I'll have a list for you in a week or two.
Well, I'm glad to hear you're not relying on me for everything.
I did get here without you, if you didn't know.
I'd like to help keep you here.
What's on your mind, Ms. Pearson?
You need to find an alternative source of financing
for your reelection.
There is no alternative source.
You of all people know that.
Well, if that's the case, then you're in a world of trouble.
'Cause your sugar daddy is tapped out.
What the hell are you talking about?
McGann's not just deep in the hole on North Park
but on half a dozen other projects around town.
None of the banks here will loan to him.
He's had to go overseas.
Pat doesn't borrow from out of the country.
He's not just borrowing.
He's begging, fetching, and rolling over.
Jesus Christ.
Now, the way I see it, what's bad for McGann is good for you.
How do you figure that?
This is your chance to hit the reset button.
If you secure campaign financing from other sources,
you can finally buy your freedom.
It's not that simple.
I wouldn't be here without him.
What's the point of being here if he controls you?
I see how it eats away at you every day.
It's time to be your own man.
Take away his money and you take away his power.
Unless, of course, this is about something else.
Is there something else, Mr. Mayor?
I put the donors in groups
based on which issues are most important to them.
This list is as long as my arm, Derrick.
I'll shorten it up for you. Allan Steiner.
He's your whale. You want to target him first.
Tell me why.
He's a rich, liberal pied piper.
Kind of a godfather of ideas to the others.
Get him, and the rest will follow.
One-stop shop. I like it.
I'll get you a list of his pet projects
and special interests before you meet with him.
Make sure it's shorter than that one, please.
Damn. You try to be thorough.
- Hmm. - I'm sorry to interrupt,
but Angela Cook has left three messages.
- Thank you. - Um, also, should I make
a lunch reservation for you today?
Yes, make it a reservation for two.
Any suggestions where I should take Mr. Steiner?
Well, he lives off Lake Shore and Burton. Try Gibson's.
I don't need to get the phone number for you, do I?
No, you don't.
Is 2:30 okay? - Perfect.
- I'm not having any of that. - Any of what?
Don't give me that bullshit.
I know the two of you had a dustup on the Ickaris tour.
I'm telling you, it was nothing.
And I'm telling you that whatever it is
between the two of you needs to end right now.
Okay.
I hope you're not here to bust my balls about North Park.
- North Park's in the past. - I'll toast to that, my boy.
I hear Carlos Salazar is thinking about
throwing his hat in the ring.
You're not seriously worried about some community organizer
running against you, are you?
I'm worried about our funds.
You got something you want to tell me?
Shit, you're letting that Pearson woman
get in your head again, aren't you?
You didn't answer my question, Pat.
About what? Money?
I've never been more flush. You want to see my books?
Why would I?
I'm sure the cash you're getting from China is all under the table
and the rest of your money is hidden in the Caymans.
Well, you used to think I was smart.
I used to think a lot of things
when you controlled the purse strings.
You really want to go it alone?
I don't see as I have a choice.
This is exactly what I was warning you about, Bobby.
She's playing you.
Yeah, one of you is. That I know.
Yeah? Well, who do you trust more,
someone whose house you ran around as a kid
or some woman who blackmailed you into a job?
Look, you're looking to cut somebody loose,
do yourself a favor: make it her.
You're being played.
- Hey. - Hey, there you are.
I-I was just knocking.
Yeah, so were you able to find out
why the trucks are there?
The developer got an emergency permit.
He starts phased demolition on Monday.
So all that talk about 90 days is bullshit.
It was not bullshit on my end.
I had an agreement, but they found a loophole,
and there's no way to stop it.
Come on, Jessica. You work for the mayor.
That doesn't give me the power to...
You could if you wanted to.
It's over, Angela.
I'm sorry.
So that's it.
At this point,
it would be like putting Band-Aids on a dying patient.
- Wow. - I know that sound harsh,
and I'm... I'm sorry.
No.
It's okay.
Uh, thanks for looking into that for me.
You know you can stay with me
until you get on your feet.
Yeah, right, like that's ever gonna happen.
- Oh, Angela. No, I... - Mm-mm.
Hey.
I'm sorry that I iced you out like that back there.
Mm-hmm, it's clear you think I'm radioactive. I get it.
I'm sorry.
We work in the same place, bound to work together.
That's all I wanted to say.
Uh, Jessica told you to do this, didn't she?
Uh-uh. Nope. Not true. This is me.
'Cause I'm not gonna accept an apology if it's tainted.
Yes, she did. Straight up ordered me.
Well, I have to say that the fact that she told you to do it
does take away from the gesture.
You don't make anything easy, do you?
I'm sorry. I don't know why I do that.
Doesn't matter. We're good.
I think I go on the attack
because I-I want to beat people to it.
You mean the way you did when I tried to save your job?
That was you trying to save my job?
You could've just said you were trying to save my job
or not fire me at all.
I will see you later.
Mr. Steiner,
thank you so much for meeting me on such short notice.
Well, it just so happens I had a cancellation today,
and my secretary said I'd been offered a free lunch
with a beautiful lady.
I like how this is starting already.
Well, don't get any ideas.
I'll do my best to keep it purely professional.
Thank you. I'll have what he's having.
So I hear you work for our esteemed mayor.
He's doing some great things,
and I wanted to be a part of it.
In fact, I'd like to continue to be a part of it
for another four years.
Ah, I should've guessed.
You're looking to add to his war chest.
You and the mayor stand for a lot of the same things.
There's no reason you're not
one of his biggest supporters already.
Oh, you don't have to sell me.
I've been a big fan.
Oh, that's good to hear.
First time I saw Bobby, it was when he was giving a speech
- up at Northwestern. - Thank you.
That's my alma mater.
Here was this brash young alderman
talking about race and inequality in Chicago.
He stood there and spoke for over an hour.
- Hmm. - Completely riveting.
If he'd been a racehorse, I would've bet it all.
I sense a "but" coming.
I know you're new to Chicago, Ms. Pearson,
but even you must know who's really calling the shots.
If you're talking about Pat McGann, he went in early.
He's bound to have influence.
This goes way beyond that, and you know it.
Your man is compromised.
I cannot be a part of that.
Can I be blunt?
As long as you're picking up the check.
I'm not in the dark about who Pat McGann is,
and neither is the mayor.
That's why we're looking to be done with him.
It's a little late for that.
Once he got into bed with that butcher,
he showed his true colors.
Butcher?
That's a very strong word, don't you think?
You really are new to this town, aren't you?
Sorry to waste your time.
- You must be Nick. - And you are?
Jeff Malone.
Jessica and I live together.
Well, how'd you know who I was?
Oh, Jessica described you to a T, man.
Good-looking Chicago cop
with a striking resemblance to the mayor.
I'll take good-looking.
She's on the fifth floor, in case you don't know.
Oh, I'm actually headed up there right now.
Hey, listen, um...
Just so you know,
Jessica, you know, she tells me everything.
Sometimes I wish she wouldn't, but...
Thanks for looking out for her when I'm not around.
Even so, if you ever feel the need to call me...
I used to be with Justice,
but now I'm with McDermott.
Will do.
Thanks, buddy.
How sure are you about McGann's money problems?
Very sure. Why?
'Cause I saw him today and he denied it.
What'd you expect him to do,
say that he was cutting back on his cleaning woman?
He says it's a story you cooked up to create a rift between us.
Well, then I guess it comes down to, who do you believe,
him or me?
That's exactly what he said.
Then pick a side,
because you've got a reelection to finance and the clock is ticking.
You better be right.
Good.
Now we can get to work.
Derrick sent me a list of top donors.
Screw the list.
None of those people give a shit about me.
What we need is someone who wants to stick it to McGann
as much as I do.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Exactly.
Do you have someone in mind?
I have the perfect person in mind.
Can I help you?
God, I hope so.
I'm looking for Jessica Pearson.
Oh, she's in with the mayor.
You're Jeff! Yoli.
I'm the one... we... we spoke on the phone.
- Yeah. - Oh, right. Right.
- It's so nice to meet you. - It's so nice to meet you.
Wow, you're just like how I imagined you.
Very Morris Chestnut.
Thanks... I think.
Hey. Did you meet the mayor?
Oh, he nodded in my direction.
Oh, he must like you.
Jeff, I'm sorry about today.
Hey, I get it. You're working.
I just stopped by to see if we could grab a quick dinner
before I head to O'Hare.
You're leaving tonight?
I'm on the red-eye back to Miami.
Jeff, I didn't mean to be here all day.
Just one thing led to another and...
Jess, I'm not upset.
But I do have to get back to work,
and you of all people should understand that.
Dinner it is.
I made a reservation for the two of you
at Riccardo at 9:00.
That should give you at least two hours
to get to O'Hare and check in,
which shouldn't be a problem
'cause I already checked you in. So you can go right to the gate.
Um, uh, sorry.
Just carry on.
Oh, I really like this one, Jess.
She's a keeper.
Yes.
Yes, she is.
I'll get my coat.
I know I don't have the right.
- No, you don't. - I said I know.
But you drop that on me and get in my head
and expect me not to react?
- You asked. - I didn't ask.
You did it to mess with me, and you succeeded.
Oh, Jesus.
Bobby, the mayor being stuck in an elevator
is gonna get some attention.
Well, then we better get unstuck.
What do you want? You want details?
- You want to know his name? - For starters.
Okay, his name is Luke. He's sexy. He's 35.
We, uh... we met here, actually.
He was the photographer that took my picture
for the website, and then we went out
and we met for a whiskey at this place on Lincoln,
and then we slept together twice.
Sounds like a great guy.
Why aren't you dating him?
Because there's something wrong with me
and I told him that I'm in a relationship.
How fucked up is that?
We are in a relationship.
I need you, Keri.
Just start this thing.
The best part of the whole trial
is the Cuban sandwich place right down the street
from the courthouse.
You think you're gonna make it down there?
This thing could drag on for a while.
Hmm.
What's going on, Jess?
Nothing.
No, we're having a lovely dinner.
Yes, but I just asked you
when you might come down to Miami.
Did you even hear me?
Oh, Jeff. I have so much to do here.
Hey.
You tried, Jess.
They can't expect anything more than that.
- I sold them out. - What?
You did your best.
That's all you've been doing since you got here.
I sold them out.
You're the one who said it.
I was angry and I didn't want you taking that job
with the mayor.
But you have to start taking your own advice here.
Let it go. Move on.
They're family.
I should've done more to help them.
They've been your family for, like, 15 minutes.
- What's that supposed to mean? - It means they're strangers.
You don't know them. They don't know you.
And you're trying to make up for something that your father did,
and that's not your responsibility.
You want family?
Your family is sitting right here in front of you and you can't see it.
I know you're my family.
Do you?
If you're my family, then they're your family too.
And if you can't accept that,
then we have a bigger problem
than whether I can get to Miami or not.
Jeff, what are you doing here?
You're a nurse, aren't you?
I'm gonna be. Why?
Well, in my day, nurses were supposed to be compassionate.
You got something you want to say to me?
The woman I care about has turned her life upside down
to get to know you,
and you don't seem to care one goddamn bit.
Hold up, wait.
Me and my family are about to be out on the street
and she got a new job out of the deal but she's the victim?
Nah, I didn't say she was a victim.
I asked you why you don't care.
I didn't ask her to come to Chicago, Jeff.
You also don't ask people to walk through the doors
of your hospital either, but once they do,
I know you try to understand how they're feeling.
I also know you don't ask them how much money they make either.
Look, I don't know what you want from me, okay?
If Jessica sent you over here to smooth things over...
Oh, believe me, Angela.
I'm the last person that she would send over here.
I told her you were all a bunch of strangers.
Okay, well, if that is the case,
what are you doing here?
I'm here because her heart is breaking
and I just can't stand to see her in pain.
And it's starting to affect us,
and, well, that just pisses me off.
Okay, so this is really about you.
Goddamn, you two must be related.
We are. Deal with it.
Well, if you are, then let her in, Angela.
Look, I know you're going through hell
and she hasn't been able to fix everything, but she's trying.
She wants you in her life,
and something tells me that you do too,
but you got to give a little something here.
Any chance of getting arroz con frijoles?
I've been craving it all day.
I'm gonna help. I promise.
Mira. What's wrong?
She didn't come home.
Oh, um, she has the Burnhams' house on Tuesdays.
So the buses from Lake Forest are always late.
She left there at 3:00.
She called me when she was leaving.
Papi, what's going on?
Your mother had her check-in with ICE today.
Oh, my God.
I forgot.
I need to go down there.
No, you can't go down there
because they're... they're gonna take you too.
Okay?
Hey.
It's gonna be okay, Papi.
Okay, mi cielo.
Ah, Mr. Mayor.
Tom.
This is my adviser, Jessica Pearson.
Ah, adviser. Well, what are you,
the, uh, the good cop or the bad cop?
I'm the one who cuts through the bullshit.
Oh, I like that.
Bob should have brought you on a long time ago.
Please, sit.
Well,
let me be the one to cut through the bullshit now.
You want to renegotiate the lease on Lincoln Yards.
Why would I do that?
Oh, you're about to win the Ickaris sweepstakes,
and I own the land,
and you want to hand over the project to one of your cronies.
The only part of that I want to change
is what you call cronies.
The mayor is looking for a new primary donor
to fund his reelection.
I know you're no fan, Tom.
And you know goddamn well why.
That's why I'm trying to get out from under him.
You have to admire a politician
who admits to being a puppet.
I was young. I made a mistake.
The man calls himself a developer.
He's a thug.
Like I said, I was young.
Tommy Diehl was a friend of mine.
I know that. Listen to me.
The only thing Pat McGann wants more than his name
on the tallest building in Chicago is to be you.
You want to make him obsolete, this is your chance.
Hmm.
Mr. Mayor, we don't want to keep Allan Steiner waiting.
I mean, clearly, Mr. Lauder isn't interested.
All right, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Okay, I'm not gonna write you a blank check.
But I'm willing to talk.
Who's Tommy Diehl?
He's ancient history.
Didn't seem like ancient history to that man back there.
He was a Teamster boss back in the day.
What happened to him?
Disappeared.
Body was never found.
There are rumors McGann had something to do with it.
Rumors?
If you're asking me do I think McGann killed him,
no, I don't think so.
If I did, I never would have gotten involved with him.
Well, you just let Lauder believe that he did it.
Well, to get us out from under it?
I would have let him think McGann started World War II
and invented cancer.
That's great to hear.
I'm glad you approve.
If you're willing to pin a murder on McGann,
then you really must be done with him.
Okay, Nick, all clear.
Hope you didn't make any plans.
It's gonna be a long night.
Just tell me where you want to order takeout.
Yeah, well, we'll get to that.
First things first.
This is everything we need to know on Thomas Lauder
and his list of demands if he's going to back the mayor.
You'd like him. He's principled.
Everything okay?
Yeah, yeah. Uh, principled. List of demands.
Okay. First we have to see what's feasible.
He's asked for the moon.
Let's see what we have in the way of stars.
- Um, linkage fees... - Mm-hmm.
Expedited permits, variances...
um, huh, you like how I've picked up the jargon?
Do you need to get that?
- No, no, no. I'm okay. - Good.
Now, I need you to run me through a list
of department heads and the best way to sweet-talk them
into doing us a favor.
You know I don't like it when you edit without telling me.
I'm taking out the word "promise."
You use it too much.
Well, it hard not to use the P word when you're talking
about the promise Ickaris made to put us top five.
When we seal the deal, we can use the P word.
Okay, and what are you doing to seal the aforementioned deal?
I have had a back channel with the CEO for weeks.
Good enough for you?
Barack, give me and your boss a minute.
That's not all right.
What do you want?
Yeah, I remember once,
this shit bag told your old man
that his guys were about to get laid off
from one of my jobs.
He told them that he heard the city
was gonna shut me down for code violations.
Says to Pete, says, "Hey, your guys come over to me,
I'll give them overtime."
He even offered your pops a little extra as a service fee.
I don't have time to go down memory lane, Pat.
Your dad didn't even call me to see if it was true.
He just told the son of a bitch
to get the hell off the property
before he ordered his men to beat the shit out of him, yeah.
That was Pete Novak.
Is there a point to this story?
Yeah, the point is, there's a thing called blind loyalty.
If I remember, that was his downfall.
Who do you think you are
going to Thomas Lauder for financing?
It's business, Pat.
That silver spoon piece of shit.
You think he'd let you in his club if you weren't mayor?
I told you
if you can't pull your weight, I'd have to go elsewhere.
Pull my weight?
I own you.
You don't own shit.
What'd you say to me?
You don't own your buildings.
You don't own the land they're on.
And most importantly, you don't own me.
You forgetting a little something?
I'm sick and tired of you holding that over my head.
You want to drop that bomb and blow yourself up too?
Be my guest.
But for now,
get the fuck out of my office.
I've got a city to run.
Hi, it's Yoli Castillo again.
I'm so sorry I missed your call.
Please call me back. Thanks.
Aztec Dave's on Madison today, if you want to grab a bite.
I'm not hungry.
You okay?
Didn't get fired again, did you?
That was a joke.
What's up?
Oh, uh, it's nothing.
Look, I don't know you,
but I know you.
I can tell something's bothering you.
I'm DACA.
You know that, right?
No, but so?
My parents, though...
Oh, shit. I mean, if you're worried about something
coming back around on the mayor, it's...
No. My mom was picked up by ICE last night.
What?
I mean, she wasn't really picked up.
She was on a bus a few years ago
when they did a routine sweep,
and ever since, she has to check in.
Uh, usually it's fine, but, uh, last night...
They're not letting her go.
Shit.
Did you tell Jessica?
No, no. I...
I can't be a problem to her.
Yoli, this is your mom.
No. Please.
Don't say anything.
I won't. I won't. It's okay.
Hey.
It's gonna be okay.
Your turn.
Are you kidding me?
You know it's a game of luck, right?
Says the man who always loses.
Shh, shh, shh. Peace, peace.
Shh. Shh.
- I have to get going. - I know.
I would like nothing more than to wake up with you.
Well...
Not really possible, is it?
Why not?
Because of this crazy puritanical society we live in.
Everybody cares where the mayor sleeps.
Well, in L.A., they don't.
We don't live in L.A.
I have a mayors conference there next month.
Come with me.
- Bobby. - I'm serious.
- People... - We need time together.
People will wonder why I'm there.
People here?
Here, there. It won't look right.
You're the city attorney. You're not some secretary.
There's plenty for you to do.
Come with me.
Yes.
Ah, you know what? You're right.
It's a terrible idea. I think people probably will judge us.
Oh, you!
Hi!
Uh, Jessica, everything okay?
We... we didn't scare you, did we?
Jeff gave me his key.
Oh, he did, did he?
Hmm.
Hey, little man!
Did you ask Cousin Jessica
if it's okay to go in there?
No.
You know what?
I'm in the mood for some ice cream.
Yeah, but hey!
Your mother said you didn't like ice cream.
- I do like ice cream! - You do?
Hey, don't be eating too much.
- Do you like coffee ice cream? - Yes!
No, no. Do you like cookies and cream?
Yeah, yeah, cookies and cream!
Cookies and cream. Cookies and cream.
Oh! Oh!
- Hey. - Hey.
Boys asleep?
It's almost 10:00 p.m.
Of course they're asleep.
Lost track of time.
How are you feeling? Did you give yourself the shot?
Not yet.
Do you want me to do it?
Where were you tonight?
Kiwanis Club.
Because I called Nick, and he didn't know where you were.
Nick's been driving for the Pearson woman most days.
You can call Dave Boltansky over there,
you don't believe me.
I was just wondering.
Hmm.
All right, well, I'm gonna go up.
Pat McGann dropped this off for you.
He was here?
When?
I don't know. He said you were expecting him.
