Previously on "Pearson..."

My mom was picked up by ICE last night.

Hey.

I'd like you to start digging

into some longer-term projects for me.

Ickaris's second headquarters.

You sure you want that headache?

If that headache comes with
half a billion in construction,

- I'll take it.
- Who the hell is Albert Chan?

He's a 30-year-old billionaire
who's buying up half of Chicago.

- It's time to move on.
- I couldn't agree more.

If I don't push back
on that greedy son of a bitch,

my guys won't support me.

The developer got an emergency
permit, and there's no way to stop it.

You know you can stay with me
until you get on your feet.

- Hi.
- Jeff gave me his key.

Oh, he did, did he?

What we need is someone who wants

to stick it to McGann as much as I do.

The mayor is looking
for a new primary donor.

You want to make him obsolete?

- This is your chance.
- Who's Tommy Diehl?

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.

Who do you think you are,
going to Thomas Lauder

- for finance?
- Business, Pat.

- I own you.
- You don't own shit.

Pat McGann dropped this off for you.

It's Nick. Um, I need to talk to you.

Something happened.
Um, pick up if you're...

- What's going on, Nicky?
- It didn't go as planned.

All right, God damn it, stop mumbling.

He's dead.

- Did you hear what I said?
- Jesus Christ.

I took care of it.

He's got you on tape, Nick.

You knew I called him
that night... I told you then.

Yeah, I didn't know he fucking taped it.

What difference does it make?

He's been holding this
over our heads for years.

The difference is
now I know he's got proof.

I'm the one on that.

I'm the only one who's ever going to pay.

You don't think that takes me down?

I can't be connected to that.

He'll never use it.

Yeah, he'll use it
if he gets desperate enough,

and believe me,
he's getting pretty desperate.

Maybe you should've thought of that

before you backed him into a corner.

- What, you mean Jessica?
- Look, all you had to do

was let him keep backing you,
and none of this would have happened!

He's got you on tape, Nick!

No one would shed a tear if he
fell off one of his buildings.

You listen to me. I don't want
you going anywhere near him.

I'll deal with Pat.

Hey.

You understand?

All right, one more,
and then we got to go.

- "Explicit."
- Good morning.

E-X-P-L-I-C-I-T. Explicit.

- Whoo!
- Yes!

Nice.

Is there a spelling bee
coming up I should know about?

- Next week.
- Well, Mama won

the spelling bee when she was a kid.

- Did she?
- Citywide, under 12.

No biggie.

All right, boys, get yourselves
together. We got a train to catch.

Thank you.

I had no idea you guys were
up this early every morning.

Yeah, the hazard of being on Lake Shore.

The extra stops add time, so...

I can have my driver take you.

Uh, no, you've done enough.

And, besides, a driver? Really?

Well, just for this morning, if you want.

All right, just this once, okay?

I don't want them thinking
they're Richie Rich.

Oh, wait, there is one more thing.

I know you have a lot on your plate,

but if you don't move
out of your apartment,

it's not going to be there much longer

Uh, yeah, I know,
I have a double shift today.

Okay, well, if you want,
I can... I can try to find

a moving company,
or I can go there myself...

No, no, it's fine.
I know where everything is,

and the boys wanted their 360.

- Their what?
- Exactly.

You wouldn't know
the first place to look.

His Honor! See what's going on out here?

We've come a long way, you and me.

You son of a bitch.

You know, I've always known
what you are, but that guy?

To see his face, to know you trapped him.

Hey, I didn't plan it. It just happened.

- Yeah, lucky for you, right?
- Hey, you pushed me, Bobby.

You got no one but yourself to blame.

You're the one who tried to run
away from home.

Yeah, that's not going to change.

- What was that?
- You heard me.

Tape or no tape, you don't have the cash

to keep me in City Hall...
the Lauders do.

You sure you want to play it this way?

Listen to me, you prick.

They put up the money,
you still have the influence.

That's what you want, right?

Where I come from,
that's called a win-win.

- You hear what I said?
- Yeah, I heard you.

Just trying to figure out
whether I believe you or not.

Seeing Steph last night reminded
me what a good liar you are.

Oh, I'm not asking for permission.

I got your message. Now you have mine.

Back off.

Hey, boss!

That Albert Chan guy called again.

Tell him to come down to the site.

I think he's going to like what he sees.

Take it down.

- Hey.
- You ready yet?

Just about.

Thank you for taking care
of my family today.

It was above and beyond.

Oh, the silent treatment.

I'm sorry I asked you
to run a personal errand.

It was, um... out of bounds.

What's out of bounds is you
sticking your nose into Bobby's money.

Since when do you care
about campaign financing?

Yeah, you know what I'm talking about.

The mayor brought me in
to fix his problems,

- and that's what I was doing.
- Yeah, fix them.

Not create a goddamn rift when
there wasn't one to begin with.

You know, I don't know what
mayor you're driving around,

but the one I see
is struggling to breathe

under Pat McGann's fat thumb.

Yeah, it's called debt.
Welcome to Chicago politics.

Oh, judging by your reaction,

I'd say the debt is about
a lot more than just money.

What happened, Nick?

Now that Bobby's
trying to get his freedom back,

McGann showed his hand, didn't he?

- How bad is it?
- Are you going to work or not?

"Lift our cities to greater heights."

There's nothing wrong with
a little soaring rhetoric.

It's a Mayors' Conference.

It not the keynote address
at the Democratic Convention.

Oh, these days, cell phones, iPads.

Everything's a keynote address.

That better not be your "bad news" knock.

It's my "I've been in a room
negotiating for 24 hours" knock.

I told you they wouldn't
budge on the tax break.

Actually, we've come to an agreement

on all major issues.

What, you reached a deal?

It looks like you're the winner

of the Ickaris sweepstakes, Mayor Novak.

You are the best.

If you want, I could leak
something to the press.

No, to hell with that. Bring them in.
I'll tell them myself.

Are they okay with us
making an announcement?

Wait, wait, if you go public
and this thing blows up...

I'm talking to Keri, Derrick.

You never wanted this thing
in the first place.

They're probably okay with
it, but you are giving them

leverage on some of the details.

She's right. What if they have

their own contractors
from out of Seattle?

What if they want to get out of MBE?

You're getting way ahead of things.

I have to be ahead of things
because you're about to go

face the nation out there
and you're not even prepped.

- Why not wait a day?
- I have the Mayors' Conference.

- So wait a week.
- I'm not waiting!

Make it happen.

Since the proposed site
is at Lincoln Yards,

doesn't this continue to focus
job growth on the North Side

instead of the South and West Side,

where unemployment is the highest?

I reject the idea that neighborhoods
are pitted against each other.

If one succeeds, the other fails?

Neighborhood growth
isn't just about business.

- It's about people.
- Sir, some of your critics

are saying this is another example

of backroom deal-making.

It's how deals get done, Malik.

I think the 4,000 people
about to get a job

are pretty happy about that.

- Is there a question?
- The question is,

what promises were made
to lure Ickaris to Chicago,

when will the details be made public,

and have similar promises been made

to contractors bidding for the work?

When the deal is signed,
I'll read it to you myself.

And I guarantee you, we'll go through

all normal bidding procedures.

"Guarantee." Really?

Yes, "guarantee."
How's that for a politician?

Excuse me.

That okay with you, boss?

I'm going to hold you to that.

- I'm sure you will.
- Nice press conference.

I guess my invitation
got lost in the mail?

- Give us a minute.
- I got work to do.

Is this your way of punishing me?

For what?

I thought you weren't
interested in Ickaris.

After all, you pawned it off
on your assistant.

McGann's not interested either,

but it seems that he was the only
one you were speaking to out there.

- Is that a fact?
- You and I both know

why I wanted you to cut ties with him,

or at least you do now.

I want to flush him out,

find out exactly what he has on you.

And based on my conversation with Nick,

it's a lot worse than you thought.

You didn't flush anything out.

If I didn't, you wouldn't have scheduled

that little performance to show McGann

that you're still the man in charge.

Why are you doing this, Ms. Pearson?

- Doing what?
- This, all of it.

You're a wealthy woman.

You've got nothing but money and time.

You didn't need to take this job to help.

You miss the games, the backstabbing,

everything that goes with it.

You like the power.

Admit it.

I'll admit that when you tell me

what's got you and Nick so rattled.

- That's a deflection.
- That's not an answer.

Tell me, Mr. Mayor...

if Pat McGann killed Tommy Diehl...

what does that have to do with you?

I already gave
one press conference today.

How's that for progress, huh?

Yeah, we should be breaking
ground within a week.

Congratulations.
You should be very happy.

No, that's we, my friend.

Yeah, my guys are busting
their asses around the clock

to give this shithole
the proper shine it deserves.

I can see,

but you're going to have to
do it on somebody else's dime.

What are you talking about?

Well, my people
ran the numbers back home.

- We don't like what we see.
- But this lot is a gold mine.

You just called it a shithole.

Well, for right now,
but it's ripe for the picking.

This whole goddamn neighborhood is.

Well, the truth is
residential is for chumps.

Concentration of assets, tenant risk.

A man of your stature should know this.

No, what I know is that your bank

ran the numbers on that months ago.

And months ago, you were a player.

Now... not so much.

You're a high-risk investment.

Sorry, Pat. I liked hanging with you.

Good steaks.

You ever climb out of the hole
you're in, let me know.

It wasn't my idea to sideline
you from the Ickaris deal.

- I don't care about that.
- What do you want?

I care about the mayor,
and based on the fact

that you're going out of town
with him, I know you do, too.

- What are you doing?
- I'm not judging you, Keri.

- It sounds like you are.
- No, I'm here because

something's going on with the mayor,

and he's not telling me what it is.

Something's always going on with Bobby.

Do you want to be more specific?

The mayor I know doesn't
grandstand in front the press,

especially after what happened
to him with me.

I don't know what to tell you.
You came to the wrong person.

Come on, Keri. You don't share
a bed with someone for five years

- and not know their secrets.
- Wow.

I'm sorry to be so straightforward,
but this is important.

What is it that
you think I know, Jessica?

I'm hoping you know what
Pat McGann just dropped on him.

Yeah, uh, I'm sorry.

I actually really can't help
you because...

he doesn't share those secrets with me,

and the reason he doesn't is you.

- Me?
- Yes, you.

He brought you in to shield me,
believe it or not.

I think his exact words were,
"She's already dirty."

I'm sorry to be so straightforward.

I really am sorry.
If I knew, I would tell you.

But I don't.

Can I give you some advice?

If it's about my relationship,
I would rather you didn't.

Whatever the mayor's telling
you, as long as the two of you

are together, he can't shield you.

Any way we could do it today?

I've got back-to-back meetings all
day, Ms. Castillo.

Please, look, my mom's not a criminal.

I-I just can't stand to see her
locked up like that.

I'll tell you what.
You're at City Hall, right?

Yes.

Can you meet me at that Jasper's place
across the street in an hour?

- Yes.
- I'll be at one of the back tables.

Okay, thank you, thank you.

- Remember Frank Cramer?
- Local 305 president.

Not anymore. He got voted out.

Went back into business as a contractor.

- I need an address.
- Got it, Frank Cramer.

And when you're done with that,

I need you to go to Buildings and Permits

and pull a list
of all the outside contractors

and the work that they've done
for the city

over the past year.

Vendors, suppliers... I need all of it.

That department closes early on Tuesdays.

Well, then you better hurry
up, because I need it now.

Yoli, you've really
stepped it up since our talk.

It hasn't gone unnoticed.

What's going on
with your mom... did you see her?

She's wearing an orange jumpsuit.

Damn. What can I do to help?
Do you need a lawyer?

No, I got a lawyer.

I'm supposed to meet him in an hour.

Supposed to? What does that mean?

It means that Jessica just
dropped a shit ton of work on me.

Now I have to go to Buildings
and Permits before it closes.

Screw that! She can't expect
you not to have a personal life.

Tell her that you have a personal issue.

I can't do that. I can't lose this job.

Yoli, this is your mother
we're talking about.

My mom came to this country
to give me a better life.

If I lose the chance for one,
what was the point?

That's crazy.

Yeah, well, it's what she wants.

She made me promise.

- Well, at least let me help.
- No, please.

I can handle it.

Um...

I just talked with Jessica about
your announcement this morning.

Oh, I'm sure she thinks
I'm getting out over my skis.

She thinks you got spooked by McGann.

Everything is about that guy to her.

That's not an answer.

Oh, Jesus.

Don't tell me you two are a tag team now.

- That's not a fair fight.
- No.

But you've been acting
really impulsive lately.

You nearly bit Derrick's
head off this morning.

Something's eating you.

What's eating me is I just beat out
18 other mayors to get this project,

and I'm about to see
every one of them in L.A.

You don't think we keep score?

So this whole thing
is about bragging rights?

Yeah, it is,
but it's also about momentum.

If I go in there as a winner,

I have the juice to push
my health-care initiative.

Okay, well, if there is anything

going on with McGann, you can tell me.

He knows about us. He doesn't scare me.

He shouldn't. McGann's a headache.

No more, no less than anything
else I have to deal with.

Instead of worrying, you should
be thinking about L.A.

You are so full of shit.

Work on your speech, winner.

Aren't we brave today?

Oh, not my first time
at a construction site.

Maybe not, but I bet it's the
first time for those Saint Laurents.

You know your shoes.

Hi, my name is Mia, and I have a problem.

It's a small problem,
but the collection's fierce.

Hello, Mia. I'm looking for Frank Cramer.

Right through there.

If you're looking to shut me down,

this place is up to code...
same deal with my workers.

I'm not looking to shut you down.

I'm here to help you.

I can't wait to hear this.

How would you like to have

the construction contract
on the Ickaris project?

Look around, lady.

Does it look like I can handle
a project of that size?

Why don't you let me worry about that?

You're serious.

Why are you doing this?

Because I feel sick
about what I did to you.

- I'm not buying that.
- It's true, Frank.

What I did to you and your
family haunts me every day.

Good, it should.

But someone like you doesn't do anything

out of the goodness of your heart.

It's always transactional.

So tell me what the hell
you want, or get out.

I want to know about
Tommy Diehl's disappearance.

Drop dead.

You've been around the unions
30 years, Frank.

- You know things.
- Yeah, that's right.

30 years it took me to get where I was.

- And you took it away.
- Then let me help you.

I hate Pat McGann
every bit as much as you do,

and if I'm going to do
anything about him,

I need to know about Diehl.

You're living in a fantasy world.

- About taking down McGann?
- No, about getting us that bid.

None of your clout's
going to make that happen.

We're a start-up that does gut rehab.

And without that woman out there,

I don't even get that done.

Well, like I said,
you let me worry about that.

And if I can get it for you...

Yeah, sure, knock yourself out.

Yeah, get me the contract,
then we'll talk.

I need to talk to you.

Um, something happened.

What do you mean something happened?

It didn't go as planned.

Oh, God damn it. Stop mumbling.

He's dead.

He's dead.

He's dead.

He's dead.

Shit.

Excuse me? Excuse me?

Hi, was someone just sitting here?

Suit and tie maybe?

Um, there... there was a guy here,

but, um, he... he just left.

Okay, thanks.

This is Richard Meyers.

I am out of the office or in court.

Please leave a message.

- Got a minute?
- I do.

Have you seen Yoli?

Well, the girl's allowed
to leave her desk, you know?

I didn't say she couldn't.

Is that what you came in here to tell me?

You asked.

Let's start again.

What can I do for you, Derrick?

Well, with all due respect, you can start

by telling me why it seems
like you're interested

in construction bids on Ickaris.

If you must know,

I'm interested in getting
that contract for Frank Cramer.

So you think that's how it works?

- We just hand out favors...
- Like that?

- No legitimate bidding process?
- It's important, Derrick.

I wouldn't do it unless...

Unless you owed him something.

I don't doubt that.

But there's no way
Cramer's getting that job.

Why? Because he's undermanned?

We can pair him with another team...

- No, it's because he's white.
- Excuse me?

Bobby made a commitment
to award at least 10%

of all city contracts
to minority-owned businesses.

MBE... Minority Business Enterprise.

And do you know how many
we've handed out since then?

One.

I didn't like this whole
development to begin with,

but if I'm going to keep
being his press secretary,

I'm definitely going to hold
his feet to the fire.

I didn't know about the program.

And from now on, I promise
I will work with you on this.

Uh-uh, no "from now on."
We're doing it now.

I don't know what backroom-favor bullshit

you got going on,
but I am not with you on this.

- Derrick...
- When you came in,

I thought, "Maybe there's somebody

who will put cause above politics."

No attachments, no baggage, no debts.

But now I know
why Bobby brought you in...

'cause you're the biggest,
baddest operator around.

Yeah, I-I know we talked about February.

I-I just want to see
how a few things pan out.

Dad, what's wrong? You sound down.

Ah, it's just these guys out here.

They don't have the same
work ethic as they used to.

Yeah, I'll call you later, sweetheart.

Not now, Nicky.

Don't you fucking Nicky me.

You have any idea
why I called you that night?

You were always more of a father to me

than that piece of shit
that slept with my mother.

- That's why.
- Hey, Pete was a stand-up guy.

He didn't have to look after you.

He didn't. You did.

You were the one who was there for me.

I leaned on you for everything...

how to drive, how to throw a splitter.

Hell, you're the reason
I got into the Academy.

I'd run through a wall for you,
and you know that.

And this? This how you reward that?

I didn't want to use it, all right?

- Bobby left me no choice.
- Bullshit.

You could've destroyed
that thing a long time ago.

- You had a choice.
- You had a choice, too.

Nobody told you to kill Tommy Diehl.

Right. "Take care of him"?

Right.

You better get out of here, Nicky.

Or what? You going to take care of me?

You know what you
showed me with that thing?

You showed me that you're nothing

without someone in City Hall
ready to make a deal for you.

You're nothing.

You ungrateful son of a bitch!

Aah!

Motherf...

Superintendent's office.

Yeah, it's Pat McGann.

Get me Superintendent Hargrove

and tell him
one of his guys assaulted me.

I'll give him the message.

- Where's Nick?
- Outside, I assume.

- Why?
- You didn't hear?

Oh, Jesus Christ. What did he do?

Well, it seems like you already know.

God damn it, Chuck, just tell me.

He went after Pat McGann,
broke two of his ribs.

I'm surprised he could find his ribs.

Okay, well, all the fat
jokes aside, this is no joke.

- I know.
- McGann is no joke.

- I know.
- He's threatening action

against the department
if I don't take his badge away.

- Oh, shit.
- Now, look, I gave him to you

because I know what he is to you.

I'll talk to him.

- The kid's got demons, Bobby.
- I said I'll talk to him.

Okay, I see how it is.

So this is how it goes down
every evening.

No, sometimes I have
an army of little men

who fan me with palm fronds
and feed me grapes.

You know that joke doesn't
work when you got all of this.

- Can I get you a glass?
- Hell, yeah.

- So how was your day?
- Oh, lots of fun.

Just another day of sponge baths,

gunshot wounds, and angry patients.

Thank you. And...

then I had to go back to the
apartment and grab some things,

quickly come back here to drop it off,

and then go back to work.

- Hard going back there, huh?
- Beyond.

All those people
forced out of their homes.

They're just like,
"Angie, where you been at?

We didn't even see you leave."

And... I feel so guilty

to tell them that I'm staying here.

You're a good person, Jessica Pearson.

Am I?

What's going on, cousin?

Just, um... a man I-I did
some business with

got in my head a little bit, that's all.

How so?

The words he used... he,
uh... he described me as transactional.

Transactional.

Sounds like one of Cory's spelling words.

- I'm serious.
- I know you are.

And I know you're not doing all of this

for something in return.

- I get joy in my home.
- You know what I mean.

You didn't have to let us stay here.

What about those people
you just left in the projects?

I'm not helping them.

You can't change things single-handedly.

I tell myself...

I took this job to make a difference.

And sometimes I...

What?

Sometimes I think I'm...

that same ambitious woman

who ran that law firm.

Then don't be.

- Ms. Castillo?
- Oh, my God, Mr. Meyers.

- Hi, hi.
- Hi. How are you?

Oh, my God, I am so sorry
about yesterday.

Oh, I-I-I wasn't trying to be cruel,

but I had another appointment.

No, yeah, I'm sure you're
very busy these days.

Yeah, well...

So can you get my mom out of there?

Is she claiming asylum?

Oh, no. No, no, she's not. Um...

Well, I-I'll be honest with you.

- In this climate...
- Mm-hmm.

Asylum is really the best way to stay in.

But I'm usually able to get a hearing

and a temporary release.

You mean a bond. Yeah, okay.

I have...

Here...

Here's $1,500.

Um, that's just for the bond.

But you do know my fee is another $600?

N-no, my... my dad said
it was only $1,500.

For the bond.

Okay. Um...

Uh, look, you know what?
You... you can owe me the rest.

- Really?
- Yeah, just don't tell anyone.

I'm trying to make a living here.

Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you.

Hey, look. I-I have to get to court.
I'm so sorry.

Oh, absolutely, yeah.
Okay, um, we'll talk, right?

- I'll be in touch.
- Yes, thank you.

Come on, boys,
I don't want to wake Grandma.

Baby, what are you doing under the couch?

- He can't find his bear.
- I thought I got your bear.

The little bear.

Oh, I'm sorry.

- Can you go back?
- I can't.

I got to go into work, baby.

Well, listen,
when things quiet down tonight,

I'll try to slip out and get it, okay?

- Promise, Mommy?
- I promise, baby.

All right, let's go.

Let me guess. First one in, last one out.

Frank's at a meeting.
Should be here any minute.

I'm not looking for Frank.
I'm looking for you.

If you want someone to roll
on Frank, look somewhere else.

He told you about me.

I don't like what you did to him.

Frank's family.
He's always been there for me.

And yet he never
made you foreman, did he?

I did my homework.

You were a rock star at that union.

You'll have to ask Frank about that.

No, I think we both know why.

What kind of a union boss would he be

if he let a woman run his crew?

Look, I'm not trying to drive
a wedge between you two.

I just want you to get what you deserve.

And how are you going to do that?

$800,000?

What's this for?

Your half of Frank's business.

What makes you think it's for sale?

It will be if Frank
wants the Ickaris contract

or any other development
coming down the pike.

You want to make this
a minority-owned business.

The mayor has made
a commitment to the community.

I don't know. I don't like it.

Now, I know what you're thinking.

It's not fraud.

It's an investment in you.

51% of the company is in your name.

You pay me back when you can.

And I'm sure you'll still be
the first one in

and the last one out.

You wanted to see me?

Sit down, Nick.

I don't want to sit down for a lecture,
Bobby, so let's just get to it.

You're going to cop
an attitude after what you did?

I told you to stay away from him.

You're not the one going to jail.

- I'm not what?
- You're not the one going

to jail if that tape comes out.

I'm the fucking mayor!

I'm so tired of this "I'm on
an island" martyr bullshit.

You are not alone.

It's you and me.

How many times
do I have to tell you that?

Good. Then I did your dirty work today.

Can I go now?

I don't know, Nicky.

You don't know what?

Did you call me in to suspend me, Bobby?

You put me in a hard place.

Yeah, and you can do whatever you want.

I'm not your boss.

No, Hargrove is.

And you're his.

Or maybe it's McGann...

or Lauder...

or who the hell knows anymore.

I'm not interested in your payoff.

It's not a payoff.

You expect me to believe that,
coming from you?

No, I don't, but I am trying
to offer you an opportunity.

You're saying I'm getting
the Ickaris contract?

I can't make that promise,

but if not that,
it will be something else.

Because this puts me in the MBE

as long as I give up
control of my company.

49% of something
is better than 100% of nothing.

Do you really want to do gut
rehab the rest of your life?

- I'd get by.
- Look around you, Frank.

The world is changing,
and there's a reason

you brought Mia over from Local 305.

You're saying she hasn't earned this?

All of this to find out
about Tommy Diehl?

Nope, I'm trying to make things right.

So...

go ahead, take it.

Leave right now.

You don't owe me a thing.

You know, Diehl wasn't
a friend to anyone.

He had his crew, but he was a criminal.

He stole from everyone,
and he blackmailed everyone.

Who took over the union
when he disappeared?

For a while, Bobby's old man did.

He took over, and suddenly,

McGann had no problems with the unions.

Go ahead, ask,
I know what you're thinking.

Did McGann kill him?

Did he?

McGann's too smart
to get his hands dirty.

He's always had bagmen
to do things like that for him.

I have no idea who did
his dirty work for him then.

You don't need to.

You know who does it now.

Ms. Pearson. I'll be driving you tonight.

- Where's Nick?
- I don't know, ma'am.

I just do as I'm told.

Last time I was in here,
you weren't so nice to me.

I was hoping this time, I'll get
a little better treatment.

I suspended Nick without pay.

Happy now?

Yeah, it's a start.

I had to stand in here
and suspend my own brother.

That's not enough for you?

I could've gotten
Chuck Hargrove to do that.

I didn't need you.

What do you want?

I've decided to put Ickaris on my site.

What the hell are you talking about?

Think about it, Mr. Mayor.

I get a more profitable development,

and you deliver a shitload
of jobs to the 54th.

I-I believe you call that a win-win.

That deal is signed. I went public.

You and I both know that's not true.

You were just trying
to show me who's boss.

Look, there's no point having a tape

if I won't actually use it.

And I will use it, Bobby.

I'm under it, my old friend.
I got nothing left.

Chan pulled out of North Park.
That was my last shot.

Christ.

We can both go down,

or we can both survive.

I'm the last person Ickaris
wants to sit down with.

They'll never trust a word I say again.

Well, then you better get on the
first plane to Seattle and make them.

Shit!

- Hey, do you need help with...
- No, thank you.

I'm good. Thank you.

Thanks.

Look, I know you think I'm always
trying to save you or some shit.

Are you okay?

- I got conned.
- What?

I got conned by the immigration lawyer.

What do you mean conned?

He never showed up
to my mom's bond hearing.

He just took my money,
and he never showed.

Are you sure it wasn't some
kind of mix-up or something?

No, I asked around in court,
and these people do this

all the time because we're undocumented

or we don't have any money, or...

Oh, God.

I don't know what else to do.

Look who's office you're in.

- Derrick, I...
- Either you tell her...

or I will.

Oh, hi. Good, you can help me choose.

I've been over-packing

'cause I never get to go anywhere, so...

And I know they say it's
way too cold this time of year,

but I'm definitely going to...

Lay out.

It's fine.

It's fine. I have a lot of work
to do here, actually.

- No, you have to go.
- What?

- I need to go to Seattle.
- What? Why? What happened?

The CEO wasn't happy we jumped the gun.

I need to go smooth some things over.

Why didn't they call me?
I'm the one that made the deal.

I don't know. I guess they
want to make me dance.

You know, the funny thing about sleeping

with your own city attorney
is she knows when you're lying.

- I'm not...
- Please don't lie to me.

- I'm not...
- Don't lie...

not to me.

I have to go get Ickaris for McGann.

What?

I can't get into it.

Oh, my God, she's right. He has you.

You know I owe him.

No, if... if he can do this,
it's more than owing him.

What are you into, Bobby?

I'll call you from there.

- Going somewhere?
- Yeah, something like that.

I heard what happened.

Nick, no matter what's
going on, I can help you.

- You?
- I know you don't believe me.

What the hell
are you doing here, Jessica?

I mean, really?

I'm trying to make
a difference in this city.

You keep saying that, but I don't buy it.

I can't do a damn thing

as long as the mayor is compromised.

Then why aren't you talking to him?

He's not the one running.

You killed Tommy Diehl
for McGann, didn't you?

Running isn't going to solve the problem.

Not for you, not for your brother.

I can help you.

Let me help you.
