1
00:00:00,079 --> 00:00:02,367
Previously, on
"Pearson"...
2
00:00:02,730 --> 00:00:05,050
Is that when you get off?
Delilah's has a killer whiskey.
3
00:00:05,146 --> 00:00:06,800
Uh, thanks, I'm flattered,
but I...
4
00:00:06,888 --> 00:00:08,194
You're seeing someone.
I get it.
5
00:00:08,282 --> 00:00:10,506
All I could think about
was the married man
6
00:00:10,594 --> 00:00:11,881
that I am having
an affair with.
7
00:00:11,969 --> 00:00:13,389
I am so much better
than this,
8
00:00:13,477 --> 00:00:15,163
- Bobby.
- Keri, Stephanie had a relapse.
9
00:00:15,356 --> 00:00:17,924
I have a problem with
boundaries, so I'll shut up.
10
00:00:18,012 --> 00:00:19,803
Are you for real?
Don't ever stop
11
00:00:19,891 --> 00:00:21,483
speaking your mind.
12
00:00:21,571 --> 00:00:23,905
Why don't you tell me
how you're gonna take your wife
13
00:00:23,993 --> 00:00:25,733
to a hospital in another state?
14
00:00:25,821 --> 00:00:29,022
Please don't suddenly make me
a priority because I'm sick.
15
00:00:29,110 --> 00:00:31,577
I'm making you a priority
because you're my wife.
16
00:00:31,665 --> 00:00:32,805
I'm going with you.
17
00:00:32,893 --> 00:00:34,843
I've arranged for
Nick D'Amato to be my driver.
18
00:00:34,931 --> 00:00:36,175
Are you out of your mind?
19
00:00:36,263 --> 00:00:37,917
Jeff, I need
to get close to him.
20
00:00:38,013 --> 00:00:40,029
- I need to find out if he's...
- What,
21
00:00:40,117 --> 00:00:41,433
a murderer?
22
00:00:41,577 --> 00:00:43,395
I didn't mean to put you
on the spot yesterday.
23
00:00:43,482 --> 00:00:45,029
- Don't worry about it.
- Luke.
24
00:00:45,154 --> 00:00:47,404
- Keri.
- Nice to meet you, Keri.
25
00:00:56,027 --> 00:00:59,245
♪ I've been waiting
for someone like you ♪
26
00:00:59,333 --> 00:01:01,347
♪ To pull me through
another 24 ♪
27
00:01:01,435 --> 00:01:03,183
Please tell me
that's not your lunch.
28
00:01:03,543 --> 00:01:04,980
"Lunch,"
what's that?
29
00:01:05,224 --> 00:01:07,410
Just so you know,
Polish place on the corner
30
00:01:07,505 --> 00:01:09,248
of Washington is fast
and they have homemade pierogis.
31
00:01:09,335 --> 00:01:10,537
Oh, that's good to know.
32
00:01:10,625 --> 00:01:12,825
I got a settlement conference
in a half an hour, though.
33
00:01:16,416 --> 00:01:17,958
City attorney's office.
34
00:01:18,059 --> 00:01:19,129
Hmm?
35
00:01:19,217 --> 00:01:21,091
You're the hotshot
who went after U.S. Steel.
36
00:01:21,179 --> 00:01:22,572
I thought you looked familiar.
37
00:01:22,722 --> 00:01:24,130
There were a lot of us
on that case.
38
00:01:24,218 --> 00:01:26,220
You're being modest.
What's your name again?
39
00:01:26,452 --> 00:01:28,171
- Keri.
- Hi.
40
00:01:28,531 --> 00:01:29,741
Bobby.
41
00:01:30,090 --> 00:01:31,405
Novak.
42
00:01:33,809 --> 00:01:34,921
What?
43
00:01:35,343 --> 00:01:37,366
You can cut the whole
casual run-in, Alderman.
44
00:01:37,454 --> 00:01:39,288
We've been in the elevator
at least ten times.
45
00:01:39,376 --> 00:01:41,366
- We have?
- You know we have.
46
00:01:42,210 --> 00:01:43,491
So you do know who I am.
47
00:01:43,579 --> 00:01:45,507
Yes, and I also know that
you're married.
48
00:01:46,250 --> 00:01:47,874
Not that you asked,
49
00:01:48,396 --> 00:01:49,952
but I'm separated.
50
00:01:50,337 --> 00:01:51,850
I didn't ask,
and if I had a nickel
51
00:01:51,945 --> 00:01:54,569
- for every time I heard that...
- You'd have nearly a dollar. I get it.
52
00:01:54,656 --> 00:01:56,266
In this case, it's true.
53
00:01:56,461 --> 00:01:58,710
Says the man who promised
to support the last budget
54
00:01:58,798 --> 00:02:00,694
- and then went back on it.
- So you're not only looking
55
00:02:00,782 --> 00:02:02,233
to see if I'm wearing a ring,
56
00:02:02,321 --> 00:02:04,524
you're studying me
at city council meetings?
57
00:02:05,063 --> 00:02:07,172
I'm starting to think
you came here to run into me.
58
00:02:07,447 --> 00:02:08,939
You know, instead of spending
your lunch hour
59
00:02:09,026 --> 00:02:10,937
charming city employees,
maybe you should be working
60
00:02:11,025 --> 00:02:12,444
for the people
who put you in office.
61
00:02:12,532 --> 00:02:14,156
You don't know
what I do all day.
62
00:02:14,322 --> 00:02:15,617
I know what I see,
63
00:02:15,705 --> 00:02:17,977
and your good looks
are only gonna get you so far.
64
00:02:27,462 --> 00:02:29,664
- I hope you don't mind.
- No, no, it's fine.
65
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,235
Um...
66
00:02:33,118 --> 00:02:34,407
Listen, I don't mean
to be rude,
67
00:02:34,496 --> 00:02:36,063
but, uh, you gotta go.
68
00:02:36,227 --> 00:02:37,531
Oh, shit.
69
00:02:37,690 --> 00:02:39,539
Love 'em and leave 'em.
No, it's not that.
70
00:02:39,627 --> 00:02:41,412
I... I have an early meeting.
71
00:02:41,552 --> 00:02:43,086
Don't worry,
I totally get it.
72
00:02:43,432 --> 00:02:45,521
Hey, if you want,
73
00:02:45,953 --> 00:02:48,086
I was thinking maybe we can
go away this weekend.
74
00:02:52,147 --> 00:02:53,508
Kidding.
75
00:02:54,737 --> 00:02:57,453
Your face, though.
Wow.
76
00:02:57,866 --> 00:03:00,117
Um, seriously,
though, call you?
77
00:03:00,205 --> 00:03:01,713
Yeah, yeah,
definitely call.
78
00:03:01,801 --> 00:03:03,086
- All right.
- Okay.
79
00:03:17,076 --> 00:03:19,039
- Are you Keri Allen?
- Yeah.
80
00:03:19,370 --> 00:03:20,929
This is for you.
81
00:03:32,850 --> 00:03:34,140
Fuck.
82
00:03:37,264 --> 00:03:38,700
There you are.
83
00:03:38,829 --> 00:03:40,756
I thought maybe you changed
your mind about our deal.
84
00:03:40,844 --> 00:03:42,178
Sorry.
I asked him.
85
00:03:42,266 --> 00:03:43,757
He's a bear
without his coffee and doughnut
86
00:03:43,844 --> 00:03:44,772
first thing back.
87
00:03:44,860 --> 00:03:46,233
Well, I'll forgive you
this time
88
00:03:46,321 --> 00:03:47,640
as long as I get
a cruller out of it.
89
00:03:47,727 --> 00:03:50,186
And welcome back, by the way.
How was your trip?
90
00:03:50,274 --> 00:03:51,983
I'd like you
to start digging in
91
00:03:52,071 --> 00:03:53,807
to some longer-term projects
for me.
92
00:03:53,895 --> 00:03:56,793
Technology, manufacturing,
93
00:03:57,022 --> 00:03:59,528
Ickaris' second headquarters.
94
00:03:59,619 --> 00:04:01,099
You sure you want
that headache?
95
00:04:01,187 --> 00:04:03,388
If that headache comes with
1/2 billion in construction,
96
00:04:03,476 --> 00:04:05,317
- I'll take it.
- What I should have asked is,
97
00:04:05,405 --> 00:04:07,248
do you need
another headache right now?
98
00:04:07,336 --> 00:04:09,663
Is there something you want
to say, Ms. Pearson?
99
00:04:10,828 --> 00:04:12,687
I know why
you were out of town.
100
00:04:13,429 --> 00:04:15,593
And if there's anything
I can do to help...
101
00:04:15,681 --> 00:04:17,224
I just told you
what you can do to help.
102
00:04:17,311 --> 00:04:19,478
I know, but if you want
someone to talk to,
103
00:04:19,566 --> 00:04:21,089
I understand
what you're going through.
104
00:04:21,176 --> 00:04:22,351
I doubt that's true.
105
00:04:22,438 --> 00:04:24,609
Just get the ball rolling
on those, please.
106
00:04:32,883 --> 00:04:34,093
Keri.
107
00:04:34,243 --> 00:04:36,796
If I knew you were waiting, I'd
have brought you a doughnut.
108
00:04:37,906 --> 00:04:40,304
- I need a favor.
- What kind of favor, Keri?
109
00:04:40,392 --> 00:04:42,320
It's a wrongful termination
suit against the city.
110
00:04:42,407 --> 00:04:44,327
Okay, but isn't that
what you do,
111
00:04:44,415 --> 00:04:46,112
defend the city
against lawsuits?
112
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,653
Normally, yes,
but the man suing
113
00:04:47,741 --> 00:04:50,187
is my former boss,
and I'm a named defendant.
114
00:04:50,275 --> 00:04:51,710
I don't mind
helping you, Keri,
115
00:04:51,798 --> 00:04:54,866
but the mayor has already
given me my marching orders,
116
00:04:54,954 --> 00:04:58,210
and, as you are so fond
of reminding me,
117
00:04:58,298 --> 00:04:59,515
I'm no longer a lawyer.
118
00:04:59,603 --> 00:05:00,695
I don't need a lawyer.
119
00:05:00,783 --> 00:05:03,163
I don't want it litigated.
I want it to go away.
120
00:05:03,251 --> 00:05:04,343
Isn't that what you do?
121
00:05:04,431 --> 00:05:06,577
In my experience,
when someone wants something
122
00:05:06,665 --> 00:05:09,952
to go away, it tells me
one of two things:
123
00:05:10,222 --> 00:05:12,187
either they're afraid
of the outcome,
124
00:05:12,445 --> 00:05:15,312
or they're afraid
of certain things coming out.
125
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:16,663
Which one is it?
126
00:05:16,821 --> 00:05:18,518
Bobby is named
in the suit too,
127
00:05:18,606 --> 00:05:20,304
and I'm trying to protect him.
128
00:05:20,392 --> 00:05:21,741
The last thing he needs
right now
129
00:05:21,829 --> 00:05:24,254
is to become collateral damage
in a courtroom spectacle,
130
00:05:24,342 --> 00:05:26,082
given everything
that's going on with him,
131
00:05:26,170 --> 00:05:28,671
and I hope that you would
feel the same way.
132
00:05:30,067 --> 00:05:31,874
I'll see what I can do.
133
00:05:35,273 --> 00:05:37,195
Jessica, this stays
between us.
134
00:05:37,283 --> 00:05:38,741
Of course.

*PEARSON*
Episode Title: "The Former City Attorney"
137
00:05:48,288 --> 00:05:51,483
Synchronized by srjanapala
138
00:05:54,610 --> 00:05:56,351
Yoli?
139
00:05:56,791 --> 00:05:58,500
Dark roast with a splash
of cream, no sugar?
140
00:05:58,587 --> 00:05:59,980
I need more than coffee.
141
00:06:00,171 --> 00:06:03,653
- I have an assignment for you.
- Ooh, an assignment.
142
00:06:03,748 --> 00:06:04,966
How "Mission Impossible."
143
00:06:05,053 --> 00:06:08,108
You are aware that Chicago
is on the short list
144
00:06:08,196 --> 00:06:09,832
to be the second headquarters
of Ickaris.
145
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:11,190
I might have
heard something.
146
00:06:11,277 --> 00:06:12,844
The mayor's already done
the dog and pony show,
147
00:06:12,931 --> 00:06:15,772
but I need someone
who can sell them on the city itself,
148
00:06:15,860 --> 00:06:17,998
starting with a bird's-eye view
of Lincoln Yards.
149
00:06:18,086 --> 00:06:19,819
Who's "them"?
Like, the CEO?
150
00:06:19,907 --> 00:06:22,951
Blake Everett. He's one of
their VPs of corporate affairs.
151
00:06:23,243 --> 00:06:27,006
Don't worry, he's 31
and has a phone for an ear.
152
00:06:27,407 --> 00:06:29,366
- Why can't you do it?
- Excuse me?
153
00:06:29,460 --> 00:06:31,070
No, I mean,
I don't understand
154
00:06:31,158 --> 00:06:32,171
why you're having me do this.
155
00:06:32,258 --> 00:06:33,967
Because it's mile one
of a marathon,
156
00:06:34,055 --> 00:06:35,835
and I have something pressing
I have to attend to.
157
00:06:35,922 --> 00:06:37,881
Yoli, what's going on?
158
00:06:37,969 --> 00:06:39,295
- Nothing, I just...
- No, no.
159
00:06:39,383 --> 00:06:40,698
You have been chomping
at the bit
160
00:06:40,786 --> 00:06:42,955
for a chance to be in the game,
and I'm giving it to you.
161
00:06:43,043 --> 00:06:45,023
Well, let's just say
I'm not Ickaris' number one fan.
162
00:06:45,110 --> 00:06:47,498
Oh, well, let's just say
I pluck someone else out
163
00:06:47,586 --> 00:06:48,866
of Streets and Sanitation
who is.
164
00:06:48,954 --> 00:06:50,905
Not like I can't
put my personal issues aside
165
00:06:50,993 --> 00:06:53,343
to do this job.
I'm happy to do it.
166
00:06:54,115 --> 00:06:55,248
So...
167
00:06:55,453 --> 00:06:57,998
Yoli, the file.
168
00:07:08,076 --> 00:07:09,719
Thank you.
Hi, Keri Allen.
169
00:07:09,849 --> 00:07:12,102
Ms. Riculli has just gone
on maternity leave,
170
00:07:12,190 --> 00:07:14,801
but I'm completely caught up
to speed on your case,
171
00:07:14,889 --> 00:07:18,371
and I think that you'll find
this number more than fair.
172
00:07:24,447 --> 00:07:25,840
$7,000?
173
00:07:25,928 --> 00:07:27,522
That won't begin
to pay our bills.
174
00:07:27,610 --> 00:07:29,134
I'm sorry, that's the number
on the table.
175
00:07:29,221 --> 00:07:30,959
Well, then you can keep it
on the table.
176
00:07:31,047 --> 00:07:33,179
Ms. Aquino, I feel for you
and your family,
177
00:07:33,267 --> 00:07:35,487
but passing
between train cars is illegal,
178
00:07:35,575 --> 00:07:37,056
and your son is at fault,
not the city.
179
00:07:37,143 --> 00:07:39,850
And the city's responsibility
supersedes his violation
180
00:07:39,938 --> 00:07:41,548
if the train
was not maintained.
181
00:07:41,636 --> 00:07:42,420
That's true.
182
00:07:42,508 --> 00:07:44,304
However, I'm sure that
Ms. Riculli explained to you
183
00:07:44,391 --> 00:07:45,748
that if this went to trial,
184
00:07:45,836 --> 00:07:47,701
Safety and Inspections
would dispute your claim
185
00:07:47,789 --> 00:07:49,060
and you would end up
with nothing.
186
00:07:49,148 --> 00:07:50,475
I don't believe this.
187
00:07:50,563 --> 00:07:51,694
If you give me a few days,
188
00:07:51,782 --> 00:07:53,248
I could probably get this up
to $10,000.
189
00:07:53,336 --> 00:07:56,352
My son is crippled,
Ms. Allen.
190
00:07:56,649 --> 00:07:58,553
He'll never be normal again.
191
00:07:59,007 --> 00:08:01,225
And we've asked
for those inspections.
192
00:08:01,313 --> 00:08:02,405
I don't understand.
193
00:08:02,493 --> 00:08:05,259
My office requested
documentation during discovery,
194
00:08:05,347 --> 00:08:07,483
and we got nothing back
from your predecessor.
195
00:08:07,571 --> 00:08:09,182
Something must have
gotten lost in the shuffle.
196
00:08:09,269 --> 00:08:10,836
- That's not...
- Three times?
197
00:08:10,998 --> 00:08:13,084
City Hall must be
quite a mess.
198
00:08:15,230 --> 00:08:16,439
Still think you made
the right choice
199
00:08:16,526 --> 00:08:17,745
coming here over big law?
200
00:08:17,833 --> 00:08:19,835
Well, I still have my soul.
201
00:08:19,923 --> 00:08:22,069
Yeah, the work is soul-sucking,
202
00:08:22,157 --> 00:08:24,101
but I hear the paychecks
fill some of the void.
203
00:08:24,189 --> 00:08:25,219
Eh, who needs money
204
00:08:25,307 --> 00:08:26,987
when you have the glamor
of public service?
205
00:08:27,500 --> 00:08:28,996
What can I help you with, Keri?
206
00:08:29,084 --> 00:08:30,421
And don't tell me
you need more cases.
207
00:08:30,508 --> 00:08:32,006
You already do double
anyone else.
208
00:08:32,094 --> 00:08:33,281
You know how you said
it's our duty
209
00:08:33,368 --> 00:08:34,630
to overturn every rock?
210
00:08:34,718 --> 00:08:36,444
Oh, someone was listening
in class.
211
00:08:36,532 --> 00:08:37,718
So I think some
of the evidence
212
00:08:37,805 --> 00:08:40,186
may have gotten lost in
transition on Riculli's case.
213
00:08:40,274 --> 00:08:41,710
Oh, uh, what evidence?
214
00:08:41,798 --> 00:08:44,787
The entire case hinges on
annual inspections by the CTA,
215
00:08:44,875 --> 00:08:46,023
but we don't seem
to have a single copy.
216
00:08:46,110 --> 00:08:47,373
I'm sure it was
an honest mistake.
217
00:08:47,460 --> 00:08:49,085
I'm sure it was too,
but I would like to go back
218
00:08:49,173 --> 00:08:50,419
through the case files
and double-check.
219
00:08:50,506 --> 00:08:51,812
Well, all right.
I'll look into it.
220
00:08:51,899 --> 00:08:52,857
You have enough to work on.
221
00:08:52,945 --> 00:08:53,984
No, I'm happy
to do it myself.
222
00:08:54,071 --> 00:08:56,155
Look, Keri, the truth is,
to keep things moving,
223
00:08:56,243 --> 00:08:58,208
we rely on
a reciprocal relationship
224
00:08:58,296 --> 00:08:59,686
with the departments
we represent.
225
00:08:59,774 --> 00:09:01,776
So in cases like these,
if they don't give it to us
226
00:09:01,864 --> 00:09:03,053
we figure we don't need it.
227
00:09:03,141 --> 00:09:04,491
Does that make sense?
228
00:09:19,718 --> 00:09:21,100
Gentlemen.
229
00:09:21,678 --> 00:09:24,366
Jessica Pearson.
Thank you for meeting with me.
230
00:09:24,483 --> 00:09:26,203
Keri must be getting lazy
in her old age
231
00:09:26,290 --> 00:09:27,639
if she's delegating.
232
00:09:28,225 --> 00:09:30,889
I'm not here as an emissary
of the law department.
233
00:09:31,086 --> 00:09:33,001
- I get my orders from the top.
- Good.
234
00:09:33,089 --> 00:09:34,140
I see you've read
the complaint.
235
00:09:34,227 --> 00:09:36,517
I have, and I've looked at
the surrounding circumstances
236
00:09:36,605 --> 00:09:39,100
regarding your client's
termination, and, to be honest,
237
00:09:39,188 --> 00:09:40,428
I don't see a case.
238
00:09:40,516 --> 00:09:42,334
If that's what you see,
I'd have my eyes checked.
239
00:09:42,421 --> 00:09:43,945
My eyes are just fine.
240
00:09:44,134 --> 00:09:45,788
What I do see, Mr. Sharma,
241
00:09:45,968 --> 00:09:47,467
is a man whose career
hasn't recovered
242
00:09:47,555 --> 00:09:49,241
since he left
the city attorney's office.
243
00:09:49,329 --> 00:09:50,709
That's why he's suing,
Ms. Pearson.
244
00:09:50,797 --> 00:09:52,494
And that's why
I'm sure we can come
245
00:09:52,582 --> 00:09:53,801
to some kind of understanding.
246
00:09:53,916 --> 00:09:55,491
You want to pay me
to go away.
247
00:09:55,579 --> 00:09:56,858
That is what you want,
isn't it?
248
00:09:56,946 --> 00:09:58,601
- Not interested.
- Well, maybe you should be.
249
00:09:58,688 --> 00:10:01,881
If this goes to trial,
the jury will see nothing more
250
00:10:01,969 --> 00:10:05,014
than a bitter employee
who waited five years to sue
251
00:10:05,102 --> 00:10:07,539
because he just got a divorce
and is out of money.
252
00:10:07,688 --> 00:10:09,156
That's because the jury
you're imagining
253
00:10:09,243 --> 00:10:10,273
isn't aware of all the facts.
254
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,875
The facts are that
your client cheated victims
255
00:10:13,007 --> 00:10:15,617
out of liability claims
for years.
256
00:10:15,705 --> 00:10:17,352
He's lucky he's still
a member of the bar.
257
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:18,805
Who the hell are you
to judge me?
258
00:10:18,893 --> 00:10:21,102
My actions never hurt anyone,
259
00:10:21,190 --> 00:10:22,274
and I paid the price.
260
00:10:22,362 --> 00:10:24,297
And so did I, but this
isn't about what I did.
261
00:10:24,385 --> 00:10:25,891
It's about what she did.
262
00:10:26,058 --> 00:10:27,266
"She"?
263
00:10:28,524 --> 00:10:30,641
I thought you were suing
the city and the current mayor.
264
00:10:30,728 --> 00:10:32,436
Oh, we are.
But she knows what she did,
265
00:10:32,524 --> 00:10:34,078
and we'll start with her.
266
00:10:34,455 --> 00:10:36,352
Deposition's on Wednesday.
267
00:10:43,125 --> 00:10:44,205
Hey.
268
00:10:44,293 --> 00:10:46,492
I didn't miss the end of
Daylight Savings Time, did I?
269
00:10:46,580 --> 00:10:47,799
No, why?
270
00:10:47,887 --> 00:10:49,554
- I'm waiting for this
- Black Everett guy to show,
271
00:10:49,641 --> 00:10:50,847
and he's still not here.
272
00:10:50,935 --> 00:10:52,266
You're waiting
for Blake Everett?
273
00:10:52,354 --> 00:10:55,055
- I'm waiting for Blake Everett.
- To take him to Lincoln Yards?
274
00:10:55,229 --> 00:10:56,840
Ah, man.
275
00:10:58,313 --> 00:11:00,010
You know what this is, right?
276
00:11:00,168 --> 00:11:01,758
Millennials on parade.
277
00:11:02,149 --> 00:11:04,542
I just find it so ironic
that they're sending us out
278
00:11:04,630 --> 00:11:05,718
to whitewash the city.
279
00:11:05,806 --> 00:11:07,547
Just smile and nod
and sell them
280
00:11:07,635 --> 00:11:09,025
on our bike shares
and beer gardens.
281
00:11:09,112 --> 00:11:10,287
Yeah, and pay no attention
282
00:11:10,375 --> 00:11:11,946
to the gentrification
behind the curtain.
283
00:11:12,033 --> 00:11:13,209
You know what's so funny?
I've been trying
284
00:11:13,296 --> 00:11:14,789
to talk the mayor out of this,
285
00:11:14,877 --> 00:11:16,414
and he sends me
to sell them on it.
286
00:11:16,502 --> 00:11:19,610
I don't know why.
You're a terrible salesman.
287
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,567
Uh...
288
00:11:23,086 --> 00:11:24,938
let's do this thing.
289
00:11:25,672 --> 00:11:27,664
You always wanted
to be a tour guide.
290
00:11:27,752 --> 00:11:30,149
Oh, she got jokes.
291
00:11:30,358 --> 00:11:31,517
I get it.
292
00:11:31,605 --> 00:11:33,091
He's deposing me?
293
00:11:33,179 --> 00:11:34,531
That self-important asshole.
294
00:11:34,619 --> 00:11:36,164
He didn't exactly
win me over either.
295
00:11:36,252 --> 00:11:37,385
Yeah, he's just trying
to find something
296
00:11:37,472 --> 00:11:39,337
to distract
from his meaningless life.
297
00:11:39,425 --> 00:11:40,884
Well, he seems to think
you had something to do
298
00:11:40,971 --> 00:11:42,078
with why it's meaningless.
299
00:11:42,166 --> 00:11:44,125
Damn it, I asked you
to make this go away.
300
00:11:44,213 --> 00:11:45,336
And I will.
301
00:11:45,424 --> 00:11:48,641
But before I do,
I need a straight answer from you, Keri.
302
00:11:48,729 --> 00:11:51,471
Is there any reason this man
thinks he can invalidate
303
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:52,883
the circumstances
of his firing?
304
00:11:52,971 --> 00:11:55,047
- No.
- There was demonstrable proof?
305
00:11:55,135 --> 00:11:57,268
It wasn't just
circumstantial evidence?
306
00:11:57,356 --> 00:12:00,000
Yes, there were clear grounds
for his dismissal.
307
00:12:00,088 --> 00:12:02,570
- He had to go.
- Okay, then it's personal.
308
00:12:02,658 --> 00:12:04,290
As long as Sharma
has as it out for you,
309
00:12:04,378 --> 00:12:06,345
you still have to prepare
for the deposition.
310
00:12:06,433 --> 00:12:08,501
Great. I came to you because
I didn't want to bring in
311
00:12:08,588 --> 00:12:10,633
outside council, and now
I don't have a choice, do I?
312
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,505
Well, at least let me
help you prepare.
313
00:12:12,592 --> 00:12:14,259
- I don't think so.
- Listen to me, Keri.
314
00:12:14,347 --> 00:12:16,044
I've done
a million depositions.
315
00:12:16,132 --> 00:12:17,845
No one can prepare you
better than me.
316
00:12:17,933 --> 00:12:19,533
You go in there
with outside council
317
00:12:19,621 --> 00:12:22,035
without me exploring
every option,
318
00:12:22,123 --> 00:12:24,493
whatever it is you're trying
to keep from getting out
319
00:12:24,581 --> 00:12:25,756
will get out.
320
00:12:25,877 --> 00:12:27,400
That man has it out for you.
321
00:12:27,494 --> 00:12:30,415
Your instincts were to come
to me for help.
322
00:12:30,652 --> 00:12:33,337
Trust your instincts.
Let me help you.
323
00:12:48,985 --> 00:12:51,181
I didn't know that chain
to your desk was this long.
324
00:12:51,269 --> 00:12:53,064
Just needed a change
of scenery.
325
00:12:53,967 --> 00:12:55,798
At the very place
I recommended.
326
00:12:55,895 --> 00:12:57,196
I won't read too much
into it.
327
00:12:57,284 --> 00:12:58,650
I'm not here to see you,
328
00:12:58,738 --> 00:13:00,348
if that's what
you're wondering.
329
00:13:00,482 --> 00:13:01,673
Pierogi?
330
00:13:02,025 --> 00:13:03,290
It's mushroom.
331
00:13:11,785 --> 00:13:13,204
What's wrong?
332
00:13:13,845 --> 00:13:15,111
Nothing.
It's just work stuff.
333
00:13:15,197 --> 00:13:16,243
Doesn't seem like nothing.
334
00:13:16,331 --> 00:13:17,671
I don't know
that it would be appropriate
335
00:13:17,759 --> 00:13:19,250
given your position.
336
00:13:20,665 --> 00:13:22,837
That's okay.
You don't have to tell me.
337
00:13:23,031 --> 00:13:24,163
You wanna get something
to go, or...
338
00:13:24,250 --> 00:13:26,103
The city attorney's
burying evidence.
339
00:13:27,470 --> 00:13:28,994
That's a hell
of an allegation.
340
00:13:29,081 --> 00:13:31,518
There was something missing
from a case I'm working on,
341
00:13:31,605 --> 00:13:33,781
so I went back through
all the liability cases
342
00:13:33,868 --> 00:13:35,056
under Sharma's tenure.
343
00:13:35,144 --> 00:13:37,314
Every one of them settled
for way less than expected,
344
00:13:37,402 --> 00:13:39,775
and there's evidence missing
from every single one.
345
00:13:39,977 --> 00:13:41,767
It's a pattern.
I see it. I know it.
346
00:13:41,855 --> 00:13:42,915
Talk to him about it?
347
00:13:43,003 --> 00:13:44,619
I did, and he didn't seem
bothered at all,
348
00:13:44,706 --> 00:13:46,814
like it was just
standard operating procedure.
349
00:13:46,902 --> 00:13:49,017
- Jesus.
- This man is my mentor.
350
00:13:49,105 --> 00:13:50,517
He's the best professor I had.
351
00:13:50,605 --> 00:13:52,172
He hired me right out
of law school.
352
00:13:52,260 --> 00:13:53,435
I owe him everything.
353
00:13:53,608 --> 00:13:55,431
That complicates things,
doesn't it?
354
00:13:56,682 --> 00:13:58,360
What do I do?
355
00:13:59,551 --> 00:14:01,775
I thought you didn't
come here to see me.
356
00:14:02,427 --> 00:14:03,923
Please.
357
00:14:07,284 --> 00:14:09,056
Look, you can do
what your gut is telling you
358
00:14:09,144 --> 00:14:11,892
and expose him,
but from what I've seen,
359
00:14:12,047 --> 00:14:14,462
whistleblowers
rarely get rewarded.
360
00:14:14,850 --> 00:14:17,025
Are you saying that to me
as a politician?
361
00:14:17,113 --> 00:14:19,548
No, I'm saying that
as someone who doesn't want
362
00:14:19,636 --> 00:14:21,142
to see you forced out
of City Hall.
363
00:14:27,697 --> 00:14:30,423
Mr. Alderman, come here.
Take a look.
364
00:14:30,618 --> 00:14:32,182
You don't have
to keep bringing me up here.
365
00:14:32,269 --> 00:14:34,650
I get it. Your building is
very big and impressive.
366
00:14:34,738 --> 00:14:36,408
I wanted to tell you
this in person,
367
00:14:36,496 --> 00:14:37,775
see your reaction.
368
00:14:37,864 --> 00:14:39,692
We're gonna make you mayor.
369
00:14:39,802 --> 00:14:41,423
I... I know,
that's the idea.
370
00:14:41,511 --> 00:14:43,759
No, no, buddy.
It's not an idea.
371
00:14:44,023 --> 00:14:45,626
We're doing it now.
372
00:14:46,678 --> 00:14:47,766
What are you talking about?
373
00:14:47,854 --> 00:14:51,095
ADA Mills is dropping out,
poor bastard.
374
00:14:51,183 --> 00:14:53,634
It's something about him
diddling a paralegal
375
00:14:53,722 --> 00:14:54,743
a few years back.
376
00:14:54,831 --> 00:14:56,224
Christ.
377
00:14:56,376 --> 00:14:58,482
One mistake, your entire
political career is over.
378
00:14:58,570 --> 00:15:00,361
And someone else's
gets started.
379
00:15:01,092 --> 00:15:02,572
I had a consulting firm
380
00:15:02,660 --> 00:15:03,768
look into your strengths
and weaknesses.
381
00:15:03,855 --> 00:15:06,189
They even drafted up
a platform.
382
00:15:06,439 --> 00:15:09,517
You are for jobs
and against gangs.
383
00:15:14,829 --> 00:15:16,611
- What is this, a joke?
- No, not to me.
384
00:15:16,699 --> 00:15:18,470
I paid 20 grand for this.
385
00:15:19,492 --> 00:15:21,276
Yeah, well,
then you wasted your money.
386
00:15:21,364 --> 00:15:23,004
Bobby, what...
What are you talking about?
387
00:15:23,114 --> 00:15:24,506
Pat, listen to me.
388
00:15:24,594 --> 00:15:26,208
I know we've been talking
about this for a long time
389
00:15:26,295 --> 00:15:28,993
and I...
agreed to play the long game
390
00:15:29,081 --> 00:15:30,284
and do your bidding
on city council
391
00:15:30,371 --> 00:15:32,673
but... the more I'm inside,
392
00:15:32,961 --> 00:15:34,954
the more this shit
gets to me.
393
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,603
I wanna make a mark.
394
00:15:40,637 --> 00:15:42,064
You are good!
395
00:15:42,152 --> 00:15:43,416
Well, you save that
for the campaign...
396
00:15:43,503 --> 00:15:45,026
I'm not fucking around.
397
00:15:45,149 --> 00:15:47,064
This city's got a reputation
for a reason,
398
00:15:47,152 --> 00:15:48,361
and I'm sick of it.
399
00:15:48,704 --> 00:15:50,532
If I'm gonna do this thing,
400
00:15:50,620 --> 00:15:52,689
I want to be
a new kind of mayor.
401
00:15:53,835 --> 00:15:55,759
Did you get that out
of your system?
402
00:15:56,353 --> 00:15:58,148
You ready to come back
to planet Earth now?
403
00:15:58,236 --> 00:16:00,822
No, I've spent a lot
of time and energy
404
00:16:00,933 --> 00:16:03,197
rounding up money
for you, okay?
405
00:16:03,285 --> 00:16:05,111
A lot of rich people
are gonna get behind you
406
00:16:05,199 --> 00:16:06,603
because I asked them to.
407
00:16:06,789 --> 00:16:08,853
You wanna be
a new kind of mayor?
408
00:16:08,941 --> 00:16:12,554
You won't be any kind of mayor
if you don't win.
409
00:16:13,564 --> 00:16:15,720
Trust me, Bobby.
410
00:16:16,703 --> 00:16:18,618
Trust me and go along
for the ride,
411
00:16:18,744 --> 00:16:21,269
and all this can be yours.
412
00:16:28,485 --> 00:16:31,329
Like the mayor said,
this whole area across there
413
00:16:31,417 --> 00:16:33,028
is open for development.
414
00:16:33,116 --> 00:16:34,321
It's an amazing space.
415
00:16:34,409 --> 00:16:36,337
There's the museums,
the waterfront,
416
00:16:36,425 --> 00:16:38,024
Wrigleyville, Boystown.
417
00:16:38,112 --> 00:16:40,532
And you're less than 15 miles
from both airports.
418
00:16:40,657 --> 00:16:41,672
You guys definitely have
419
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,438
that live-work-play vibe
my workforce wants.
420
00:16:45,733 --> 00:16:46,921
I didn't know "vibe"
421
00:16:47,009 --> 00:16:49,173
was the company's top priority.
422
00:16:49,373 --> 00:16:50,524
What's that?
423
00:16:50,612 --> 00:16:51,701
Nothing.
424
00:16:51,796 --> 00:16:53,267
I think the guy
who created a start-up
425
00:16:53,354 --> 00:16:55,602
valued at $100 million
knows what he's doing.
426
00:16:56,259 --> 00:16:57,936
Oh, no, I-I'm sure he does.
427
00:16:58,024 --> 00:17:00,095
It's just, you know,
spending a fortune
428
00:17:00,183 --> 00:17:03,149
on a corporate playground,
it just, uh...
429
00:17:03,237 --> 00:17:05,117
When you have warehouse workers
on food stamps,
430
00:17:05,205 --> 00:17:06,970
kind of seems like
a backwards strategy.
431
00:17:07,058 --> 00:17:09,077
You'll have to excuse
Ms. Castillo.
432
00:17:09,165 --> 00:17:11,477
- She's our resident contrarian.
- That's okay.
433
00:17:11,565 --> 00:17:13,360
She's not the first person
to say it.
434
00:17:13,548 --> 00:17:14,634
But you are the first
435
00:17:14,722 --> 00:17:16,868
from an administration
vying for our business.
436
00:17:16,956 --> 00:17:18,740
I'm not trying
to call you out or anything.
437
00:17:18,828 --> 00:17:20,400
I'm just looking out
for Chicago's best interests.
438
00:17:20,487 --> 00:17:21,793
- By calling me out.
- Yoli...
439
00:17:21,881 --> 00:17:23,186
There's no problem here.
440
00:17:23,274 --> 00:17:24,907
You're vetting a dozen cities,
441
00:17:24,995 --> 00:17:26,995
so you would understand
why we want to do the same.
442
00:17:27,113 --> 00:17:30,602
Hey, how about we go
check out that vegan place
443
00:17:30,690 --> 00:17:31,995
in the Arts District?
444
00:17:32,083 --> 00:17:33,555
Sounds great.
445
00:17:35,702 --> 00:17:36,610
Fucking kidding me?
446
00:17:36,698 --> 00:17:37,977
You can't talk
to that guy like that.
447
00:17:38,064 --> 00:17:39,983
- You told me to speak my mind.
- What?
448
00:17:40,071 --> 00:17:41,321
Yeah, the other day.
449
00:17:41,409 --> 00:17:43,635
And weren't you speaking yours
before this asshole showed up?
450
00:17:43,722 --> 00:17:46,376
That was my personal opinion.
I don't make policy decisions.
451
00:17:46,464 --> 00:17:47,759
My job is to help the mayor.
452
00:17:47,847 --> 00:17:49,250
The mayor lets them build
IckarisWorld here,
453
00:17:49,337 --> 00:17:50,768
you're gonna have a lot
of angry voters.
454
00:17:50,856 --> 00:17:52,782
He'll have 4,000 people
thanking him for a job.
455
00:17:52,870 --> 00:17:54,022
That's what
he's gonna have.
456
00:17:54,124 --> 00:17:55,436
Or was.
457
00:17:55,524 --> 00:17:57,225
Fuck!
458
00:18:10,077 --> 00:18:11,034
Hey.
459
00:18:11,122 --> 00:18:13,123
Haven't seen you
since you got back.
460
00:18:16,096 --> 00:18:17,794
I had a lot to catch up on.
461
00:18:17,882 --> 00:18:19,841
Yeah, I'm sure you got
the headlines from Derrick.
462
00:18:19,928 --> 00:18:21,712
We had quite a day ourselves
with Lloyd.
463
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,459
Derrick's very good
at his job.
464
00:18:23,716 --> 00:18:25,436
Headlines conveyed the story.
465
00:18:26,168 --> 00:18:27,256
Is that all?
466
00:18:27,350 --> 00:18:29,068
Something else
you want to talk about?
467
00:18:30,485 --> 00:18:32,133
- How is she?
- Why do you ask?
468
00:18:32,221 --> 00:18:33,649
What do you mean,
"Why do I ask"?
469
00:18:33,737 --> 00:18:35,024
Because I care.
470
00:18:35,401 --> 00:18:36,594
I don't want
to talk about it.
471
00:18:36,682 --> 00:18:37,814
Bobby, I'm just trying...
472
00:18:37,902 --> 00:18:39,121
I don't want
to talk about it with you
473
00:18:39,208 --> 00:18:41,172
or Jessica
or anyone else.
474
00:18:41,260 --> 00:18:42,479
Ah, that's why.
475
00:18:42,567 --> 00:18:44,211
You're pissed
'cause I told Jessica.
476
00:18:44,299 --> 00:18:45,704
- It wasn't your business.
- You know what?
477
00:18:45,791 --> 00:18:47,759
I had to tell her 'cause you're
the one that brought her in.
478
00:18:47,846 --> 00:18:49,406
You know how Stephanie
feels about it.
479
00:18:49,494 --> 00:18:50,875
She can't work
five feet from you
480
00:18:50,963 --> 00:18:52,195
and not know what's going on.
481
00:18:52,283 --> 00:18:53,460
What do you want
to know, Keri?
482
00:18:53,547 --> 00:18:55,094
You wanna know
what the doctor said?
483
00:18:55,182 --> 00:18:56,966
You wanna know
what the scans showed?
484
00:18:57,054 --> 00:18:59,231
Nothing, okay?
No one knows.
485
00:18:59,319 --> 00:19:03,063
Two days, a battery of tests,
thousands of dollars, for what?
486
00:19:03,237 --> 00:19:05,196
All I want is answers,
487
00:19:05,284 --> 00:19:06,676
and no one has the balls
to tell me
488
00:19:06,764 --> 00:19:09,245
that five years from now,
I'm out of this office
489
00:19:09,333 --> 00:19:11,565
and my wife is in a wheelchair.
490
00:19:13,133 --> 00:19:14,439
That what you wanted to know?
491
00:19:14,566 --> 00:19:16,237
'Cause that's my life.
492
00:19:17,901 --> 00:19:19,596
You wanna be a part of that?
493
00:19:34,737 --> 00:19:36,261
You waiting on me
or the mayor?
494
00:19:36,348 --> 00:19:37,697
I don't clock out
until you do.
495
00:19:37,784 --> 00:19:39,046
That was the deal.
496
00:19:39,133 --> 00:19:40,917
Well, after this morning,
I wasn't so sure.
497
00:19:41,004 --> 00:19:42,682
You were quiet.
498
00:19:42,770 --> 00:19:44,207
Just doing my job.
499
00:19:44,427 --> 00:19:48,057
And you've been doing it
very quietly for a while now.
500
00:19:48,352 --> 00:19:50,745
Since you questioned
whether or not I was involved
501
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,015
in a murder or not, you mean?
502
00:19:52,102 --> 00:19:53,365
No, since I determined
503
00:19:53,452 --> 00:19:55,889
you absolutely had nothing
to do with one.
504
00:19:55,976 --> 00:19:58,572
- I'm sorry I doubted you.
- That's fine.
505
00:19:58,661 --> 00:20:00,707
But the fact
that you suspected me,
506
00:20:00,795 --> 00:20:02,417
that says plenty about
what you think of me.
507
00:20:02,504 --> 00:20:03,925
I don't know what to think
of you, Nick.
508
00:20:04,012 --> 00:20:05,658
But this arrangement
isn't going to work
509
00:20:05,746 --> 00:20:08,315
unless you trust me enough
to let your walls down.
510
00:20:08,944 --> 00:20:10,393
Don't you ever get bored
of the view
511
00:20:10,481 --> 00:20:11,527
down that one-way street?
512
00:20:11,615 --> 00:20:12,720
What are you talking about?
513
00:20:12,808 --> 00:20:14,367
You expect everyone
to open up for you
514
00:20:14,455 --> 00:20:15,722
but you don't give a thing
in return.
515
00:20:15,809 --> 00:20:17,854
I stood there
at that press conference
516
00:20:17,942 --> 00:20:19,934
and not only did I answer
every question,
517
00:20:20,037 --> 00:20:21,637
I handed out my number
for follow-ups.
518
00:20:21,725 --> 00:20:23,833
You didn't give them a thing
you can't find on page one
519
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:24,746
of an internet search.
520
00:20:24,834 --> 00:20:25,919
Well, what do you think
I'm hiding?
521
00:20:26,006 --> 00:20:27,885
Hell, for all I know,
you're some Stepford wife
522
00:20:27,973 --> 00:20:29,924
programmed to write checks
and issue sound bites.
523
00:20:30,012 --> 00:20:31,690
But whatever you are,
what the hell do you know
524
00:20:31,806 --> 00:20:33,996
- about what the mayor's going through?
- You don't know anything about me.
525
00:20:34,084 --> 00:20:35,301
Exactly.
526
00:20:35,394 --> 00:20:37,113
I don't know anything.
527
00:20:45,403 --> 00:20:46,963
So you guys own
this place too?
528
00:20:47,051 --> 00:20:49,494
You don't grow like we do
without taking some chances.
529
00:20:49,581 --> 00:20:50,598
So, Derrick, what's up?
530
00:20:50,715 --> 00:20:52,299
I got a late flight
to Atlanta.
531
00:20:52,387 --> 00:20:54,151
The mayor wants
to take me to the zoo
532
00:20:54,238 --> 00:20:55,326
and show me the pandas.
533
00:20:55,413 --> 00:20:56,501
About that.
534
00:20:56,588 --> 00:20:58,238
I'm sorry
at how that went down.
535
00:20:58,363 --> 00:21:00,848
She does not represent the
views of this administration.
536
00:21:01,245 --> 00:21:02,691
But she is a part of it,
537
00:21:02,779 --> 00:21:06,385
and we do have 18 other cities
dying to make a deal.
538
00:21:06,473 --> 00:21:08,644
I know, and they're
rolling out the red carpet.
539
00:21:08,731 --> 00:21:09,981
And they should.
540
00:21:10,140 --> 00:21:12,340
But you know she's not the
only one saying those things.
541
00:21:12,428 --> 00:21:13,473
Is that your pitch?
542
00:21:13,561 --> 00:21:15,432
"You guys suck.
Everybody knows it."
543
00:21:15,599 --> 00:21:18,559
My pitch is, "We can change
the way the world sees you."
544
00:21:18,693 --> 00:21:21,809
The world sees us on
the "Forbes 100" and climbing.
545
00:21:21,904 --> 00:21:22,871
For now,
but look what happened
546
00:21:22,959 --> 00:21:24,457
to Facebook and BP.
547
00:21:24,545 --> 00:21:26,223
They were riding high,
until they weren't.
548
00:21:26,311 --> 00:21:28,380
We don't have a public
relations problem, Derrick.
549
00:21:28,468 --> 00:21:31,754
Right now, maybe not.
But you will, and you know it.
550
00:21:32,762 --> 00:21:33,945
So what do you got?
551
00:21:34,033 --> 00:21:35,977
The mayor has a group
of grassroots organizations
552
00:21:36,065 --> 00:21:38,329
that will partner with Ickaris
to make this deal work for you
553
00:21:38,416 --> 00:21:39,629
and for the people of Chicago.
554
00:21:39,717 --> 00:21:41,341
I know what a corporate
accountability team is.
555
00:21:41,428 --> 00:21:42,660
Then you know it can work.
556
00:21:42,748 --> 00:21:44,099
It still seems like
you guys are getting
557
00:21:44,186 --> 00:21:45,216
most of the benefits here.
558
00:21:45,303 --> 00:21:47,981
This is good for your brand,
and you know it.
559
00:21:49,453 --> 00:21:50,933
Tell you what.
560
00:21:51,021 --> 00:21:54,055
You increase the tax cuts on
every concession that we make
561
00:21:54,143 --> 00:21:56,840
to the community, and we might
have something here.
562
00:21:56,928 --> 00:21:57,989
If I get the mayor
to sign off on that,
563
00:21:58,076 --> 00:21:59,574
you'll go public
we're top three?
564
00:22:01,145 --> 00:22:03,844
Yeah, you give the word,
I'll release it.
565
00:22:05,552 --> 00:22:07,096
Please state your full name
for the record.
566
00:22:07,183 --> 00:22:08,359
Keri Katherine Allen.
567
00:22:08,447 --> 00:22:10,087
You are aware
that you're being deposed
568
00:22:10,175 --> 00:22:12,391
in the case of Ken Sharma
versus the city of Chicago?
569
00:22:12,479 --> 00:22:13,282
I am.
570
00:22:13,370 --> 00:22:15,173
Will you please establish
a timeline
571
00:22:15,261 --> 00:22:16,845
for your history at City Hall?
572
00:22:16,946 --> 00:22:20,399
I was deputy city attorney
in 2013
573
00:22:20,487 --> 00:22:22,318
until the incoming
administration
574
00:22:22,504 --> 00:22:25,266
appointed me city attorney
in 2015.
575
00:22:25,354 --> 00:22:27,225
And what was your
relationship to Ken Sharma?
576
00:22:27,313 --> 00:22:28,774
It was
a working relationship.
577
00:22:28,862 --> 00:22:29,985
We met in law school.
578
00:22:30,073 --> 00:22:31,597
He was a mentor to me
for two years
579
00:22:31,685 --> 00:22:33,165
until he was appointed
city attorney,
580
00:22:33,253 --> 00:22:35,649
and then he hired me
right after graduation,
581
00:22:35,737 --> 00:22:38,261
and I worked for him
until his departure.
582
00:22:38,349 --> 00:22:40,438
- And how long was that?
- A little under a year.
583
00:22:40,526 --> 00:22:42,290
- And how did it end?
- Poorly.
584
00:22:42,378 --> 00:22:44,821
Why is Mayor Novak
named in the suit?
585
00:22:45,814 --> 00:22:47,891
That's a question
for the person filing.
586
00:22:47,979 --> 00:22:49,235
Take a wild guess.
587
00:22:50,275 --> 00:22:52,962
The mayor was the one
who outed Ken Sharma
588
00:22:53,050 --> 00:22:54,154
for mishandling evidence.
589
00:22:54,242 --> 00:22:56,296
How did he get a hold
of the information to do that?
590
00:22:56,384 --> 00:22:57,384
I gave it to him.
591
00:22:57,472 --> 00:22:59,127
And how long had you known
the alderman at that time?
592
00:22:59,214 --> 00:23:00,392
I don't see
how that's relevant.
593
00:23:00,479 --> 00:23:01,852
How long, Ms. Allen?
594
00:23:02,589 --> 00:23:04,117
Uh, about a week.
595
00:23:04,205 --> 00:23:06,251
So you trusted a man
you barely knew a week
596
00:23:06,354 --> 00:23:08,356
with information that could
cost you your job.
597
00:23:08,444 --> 00:23:09,794
I was trying
to do the right thing.
598
00:23:09,881 --> 00:23:12,313
And the mayor repaid you
for that information
599
00:23:12,401 --> 00:23:14,243
by making you
the youngest city attorney
600
00:23:14,331 --> 00:23:15,610
in the history of Chicago.
601
00:23:15,698 --> 00:23:17,509
Is that what you mean
by "the right thing"?
602
00:23:17,597 --> 00:23:19,610
That is not why
I gave him the information.
603
00:23:19,796 --> 00:23:22,149
- Then why did you do it?
- I just told you, I was...
604
00:23:22,237 --> 00:23:24,337
Well, if it wasn't a
quid pro quo, then what was it?
605
00:23:24,425 --> 00:23:26,384
- Okay, stop it.
- What was it, Ms. Allen?
606
00:23:26,472 --> 00:23:27,743
Because what it
looks like is,
607
00:23:27,831 --> 00:23:30,442
you exchanged sexual favors
for professional gain.
608
00:23:30,651 --> 00:23:31,962
Is that what it was?
609
00:23:43,693 --> 00:23:45,345
Tell me if I'm crazy.
610
00:23:45,433 --> 00:23:46,652
- You're crazy.
- I'm serious.
611
00:23:46,740 --> 00:23:47,775
I really can't let him
do what he's doing.
612
00:23:47,862 --> 00:23:49,898
- I have to say something. I'm just...
- Okay, take a breath.
613
00:23:49,985 --> 00:23:51,954
I'm gonna go
to the inspector general.
614
00:23:52,042 --> 00:23:53,250
- Wait a second...
- It's systemic.
615
00:23:53,337 --> 00:23:55,298
Sharma knows all about it,
and he's taking kickbacks.
616
00:23:55,385 --> 00:23:57,751
If you accuse him,
you have to have proof.
617
00:23:57,860 --> 00:23:59,644
There is a crippled boy,
and they're trying
618
00:23:59,732 --> 00:24:01,010
to cheat him out of money
and justify it
619
00:24:01,097 --> 00:24:02,704
by calling it
prudent management.
620
00:24:02,792 --> 00:24:04,680
I can't let it happen.
621
00:24:05,194 --> 00:24:07,665
Okay, okay.
622
00:24:09,689 --> 00:24:11,430
You want me
to talk you out of it?
623
00:24:11,518 --> 00:24:13,251
Is that why you came in here?
624
00:24:13,459 --> 00:24:14,852
I don't think so.
625
00:24:15,127 --> 00:24:18,649
I just want you to think
before you do anything.
626
00:24:19,579 --> 00:24:20,617
I have.
627
00:24:20,712 --> 00:24:23,274
Are you sure
you want to do this?
628
00:24:24,132 --> 00:24:25,860
I'm sure.
629
00:24:28,737 --> 00:24:31,079
♪ I feel like I'm drowning ♪
630
00:24:31,236 --> 00:24:35,079
♪ Oh, drowning ♪
631
00:24:35,167 --> 00:24:37,884

♪ I'm drowning ♪
637
00:25:05,611 --> 00:25:07,634
Hard to leave
when you look like that.
638
00:25:09,347 --> 00:25:11,587
Let me give you
some extra motivation.
639
00:25:13,725 --> 00:25:15,845
Listen...
640
00:25:16,006 --> 00:25:18,775
your plan to go
to the inspector general,
641
00:25:18,863 --> 00:25:20,572
it could take months
or years, even,
642
00:25:20,660 --> 00:25:21,922
to show any real results.
643
00:25:22,010 --> 00:25:23,664
So what if, in that time,
Sharma gets wind
644
00:25:23,752 --> 00:25:24,806
of what's going on?
645
00:25:24,966 --> 00:25:26,290
Your career's over.
646
00:25:29,149 --> 00:25:30,542
Let me do it.
647
00:25:30,808 --> 00:25:32,197
- How?
- I'm not sure.
648
00:25:32,285 --> 00:25:33,470
I'll figure something out.
649
00:25:33,558 --> 00:25:35,478
And if it doesn't work,
then your career is over.
650
00:25:35,566 --> 00:25:37,337
- It won't be, trust me.
- It's too risky.
651
00:25:37,425 --> 00:25:38,527
I'm not gonna ask you
to do that
652
00:25:38,614 --> 00:25:39,916
- for me.
- I'm offering.
653
00:25:40,839 --> 00:25:42,126
It's my way
of saying thank you.
654
00:25:42,214 --> 00:25:43,528
For sleeping with you?
Why don't you just leav
655
00:25:43,615 --> 00:25:44,839
some cash on the dresser?
656
00:25:45,155 --> 00:25:46,800
For reminding me
why I went into this work
657
00:25:46,888 --> 00:25:48,074
in the first place.
658
00:25:51,208 --> 00:25:52,800
I love being an alderman.
659
00:25:52,888 --> 00:25:55,785
I love it,
and I would never want
660
00:25:55,873 --> 00:25:58,003
to think that I take it
for granted, but...
661
00:25:58,641 --> 00:26:01,089
maybe because I was too young
when I started.
662
00:26:01,177 --> 00:26:02,745
I've been getting lazy
663
00:26:02,942 --> 00:26:05,261
and complacent
and a little numb.
664
00:26:06,502 --> 00:26:08,324
But now...
665
00:26:08,708 --> 00:26:10,841
because of you...
666
00:26:12,368 --> 00:26:14,545
I got a pulse again.
667
00:26:14,735 --> 00:26:16,628
And I'm not just talking
about this.
668
00:26:16,716 --> 00:26:18,441
I'm... I'm talking
about everything,
669
00:26:18,529 --> 00:26:19,847
all of me.
670
00:26:21,143 --> 00:26:22,918
You wanna think that's a line
from a politician,
671
00:26:23,005 --> 00:26:24,652
you go ahead
and think it, but...
672
00:26:25,299 --> 00:26:26,488
it's true.
673
00:26:30,768 --> 00:26:32,706
Let me do this for you.
674
00:26:33,604 --> 00:26:35,144
I need to do this.
675
00:26:38,813 --> 00:26:44,402
♪ How does it feel... ♪
676
00:26:45,590 --> 00:26:48,230
♪ To know that you can't ♪
677
00:26:48,318 --> 00:26:51,887
♪ Go on anymore ♪
678
00:26:54,985 --> 00:26:57,308
Well, if you're here
to give me legal advice,
679
00:26:57,396 --> 00:26:59,144
- you can save it.
- I'm not.
680
00:26:59,232 --> 00:27:00,325
But I do want to talk to you
681
00:27:00,412 --> 00:27:01,894
before you bring in
another lawyer.
682
00:27:05,106 --> 00:27:06,800
I'm not bringing in
another lawyer.
683
00:27:09,385 --> 00:27:11,694
- What does that mean?
- You're the mayor's fixer.
684
00:27:11,782 --> 00:27:13,175
- Fix it.
- Keri.
685
00:27:13,362 --> 00:27:15,408
The last wrongful termination
suit against the city
686
00:27:15,496 --> 00:27:17,933
settled for a million,
so just find a number.
687
00:27:18,021 --> 00:27:19,022
You can't give in.
688
00:27:19,110 --> 00:27:20,547
Don't tell me what I can
and cannot do.
689
00:27:20,634 --> 00:27:21,514
I'm the city attorney.
690
00:27:21,602 --> 00:27:23,905
I can make a nuisance suit
go away by paying it off.
691
00:27:23,993 --> 00:27:26,272
Look, I know
you're mad at me.
692
00:27:26,451 --> 00:27:27,639
I'm not mad at you.
693
00:27:27,727 --> 00:27:30,077
I'm mad at myself
and this man and...
694
00:27:30,784 --> 00:27:31,913
everybody but you.
695
00:27:32,010 --> 00:27:33,447
You've made that
perfectly clear for me.
696
00:27:33,534 --> 00:27:35,265
Then you know that giving in
isn't the way to go.
697
00:27:35,352 --> 00:27:38,090
- Pay him.
- The man cheated people
698
00:27:38,178 --> 00:27:40,453
out of millions and
lined his own pockets,
699
00:27:40,541 --> 00:27:41,952
unless you are lying
700
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:43,561
and you just made it up
to get his job.
701
00:27:43,657 --> 00:27:44,812
- Fuck you.
- That's not an answer.
702
00:27:44,899 --> 00:27:46,186
I didn't.
You know I didn't.
703
00:27:46,274 --> 00:27:47,647
And that's what the jury
will hear.
704
00:27:47,735 --> 00:27:50,038
The jury's gonna hear
a woman who was sleeping
705
00:27:50,126 --> 00:27:51,624
with the soon-to-be mayor...
706
00:27:52,276 --> 00:27:53,889
and still is.
707
00:27:56,072 --> 00:27:58,124
There, I said it for you.
Hope you're happy.
708
00:27:58,426 --> 00:28:00,843
If this gets out,
Bobby will be crushed,
709
00:28:00,931 --> 00:28:02,593
but he'll recover.
710
00:28:02,911 --> 00:28:04,616
And me?
711
00:28:05,445 --> 00:28:08,143
No matter what anybody says,
I will always be the woman
712
00:28:08,231 --> 00:28:09,553
who slept her way to the top.
713
00:28:10,025 --> 00:28:12,593
It's different for women,
and you know that.
714
00:28:16,159 --> 00:28:17,858
I will never recover.
715
00:28:26,031 --> 00:28:27,827
Nice going, Mayor Novak.
716
00:28:28,076 --> 00:28:30,311
Can't believe you actually
got him to sign off on this.
717
00:28:30,451 --> 00:28:31,897
I didn't.
718
00:28:32,863 --> 00:28:33,999
Oh.
719
00:28:34,087 --> 00:28:35,523
Shit.
720
00:28:35,752 --> 00:28:38,553
Is he mad?
Yep, he's mad.
721
00:28:38,641 --> 00:28:39,593
He shouldn't be.
722
00:28:39,681 --> 00:28:41,031
You not only kept him
in the running,
723
00:28:41,118 --> 00:28:42,617
but it says here that
we're one of the favorites.
724
00:28:42,704 --> 00:28:45,546
It's my job to speak for him,
not to go behind his back
725
00:28:45,634 --> 00:28:47,586
and make promises
we can't deliver.
726
00:28:47,674 --> 00:28:48,985
You could have just
told him that you were
727
00:28:49,072 --> 00:28:50,470
cleaning up after me,
if you wanted.
728
00:28:50,557 --> 00:28:51,961
I don't throw people
under the bus.
729
00:28:52,049 --> 00:28:53,595
Well, you could have,
because I'm not ashamed
730
00:28:53,682 --> 00:28:54,705
of my beliefs.
731
00:28:54,793 --> 00:28:56,490
- Damn.
- No, what?
732
00:28:56,584 --> 00:28:58,107
- I'm serious.
- I know you are.
733
00:28:58,195 --> 00:29:00,407
Let me ask you something,
Yoli Castillo.
734
00:29:00,495 --> 00:29:01,586
Why do you want
to be here?
735
00:29:01,674 --> 00:29:02,711
What do you mean?
736
00:29:02,799 --> 00:29:04,625
Why do you want
to be part of government
737
00:29:04,713 --> 00:29:06,500
when you have zero respect
for how it works?
738
00:29:06,588 --> 00:29:07,962
Because it doesn't work
for everyone.
739
00:29:08,049 --> 00:29:10,007
Working for everyone
isn't practical
740
00:29:10,095 --> 00:29:11,227
or even possible.
741
00:29:11,321 --> 00:29:13,018
It's our job
to do the most good
742
00:29:13,106 --> 00:29:14,977
for the greatest number
of people.
743
00:29:15,321 --> 00:29:16,469
Wow.
744
00:29:16,752 --> 00:29:18,516
You really
sold your soul, huh?
745
00:29:18,604 --> 00:29:20,244
I hope you at least got
a good price for it.
746
00:29:20,331 --> 00:29:21,690
I believe in a lot
of the same things you do.
747
00:29:21,777 --> 00:29:23,884
I'm just a lot smarter about
trying to get them done.
748
00:29:24,012 --> 00:29:25,322
Funny, it looks like
I'm standing
749
00:29:25,410 --> 00:29:27,152
in the same place you are
by staying true to myself.
750
00:29:27,239 --> 00:29:28,906
Well, the next time you want
to be true to yourself,
751
00:29:28,993 --> 00:29:30,447
don't take me down with you.
752
00:29:40,915 --> 00:29:42,916
I shouldn't be meeting you
without my lawyer present.
753
00:29:43,003 --> 00:29:44,400
You're smarter
than your lawyer.
754
00:29:44,488 --> 00:29:45,635
That's why I'm coming
right to you.
755
00:29:45,722 --> 00:29:46,954
You think I can win,
don't you?
756
00:29:47,047 --> 00:29:48,954
I think if you can
make it look like
757
00:29:49,042 --> 00:29:50,751
your ambitious
young protégé
758
00:29:50,839 --> 00:29:53,845
conspired with an equally
ambitious young alderman
759
00:29:53,933 --> 00:29:55,095
to take you down,
760
00:29:55,183 --> 00:29:57,954
that you might get
a jury to sympathize.
761
00:29:58,042 --> 00:29:59,408
I'm glad you see it my way.
762
00:29:59,496 --> 00:30:01,204
I said sympathize,
not win.
763
00:30:01,292 --> 00:30:02,859
But what you will
definitely get
764
00:30:02,947 --> 00:30:05,540
is to exact your revenge
on Keri and Bobby,
765
00:30:05,628 --> 00:30:07,423
which is what you
really want, isn't it?
766
00:30:07,511 --> 00:30:09,337
They destroyed my career,
Ms. Pearson.
767
00:30:09,425 --> 00:30:12,243
No, you destroyed your career
when you decided
768
00:30:12,331 --> 00:30:15,033
to bury evidence
and cheat innocent people.
769
00:30:15,465 --> 00:30:18,163
No wonder you look like hell.
Guilt'll do that.
770
00:30:18,251 --> 00:30:19,784
Look, if I had the chance
to do it over,
771
00:30:19,871 --> 00:30:21,314
I might make
some different choices.
772
00:30:21,402 --> 00:30:23,408
But putting $10 million
into public schools
773
00:30:23,496 --> 00:30:25,672
instead of paying damages
to a kid who skipped school
774
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:27,220
to jump between train cars?
775
00:30:27,308 --> 00:30:28,720
I think that was
a fair trade.
776
00:30:28,808 --> 00:30:29,939
And that sounds like a man
777
00:30:30,027 --> 00:30:31,294
who's still justifying
his actions.
778
00:30:31,381 --> 00:30:32,861
Sounds a lot like you,
doesn't it?
779
00:30:32,949 --> 00:30:34,689
Two powerful attorneys
who crossed lines
780
00:30:34,777 --> 00:30:36,486
to do what they thought
was right,
781
00:30:37,042 --> 00:30:38,957
only I don't have a mayor
to bail me out.
782
00:30:39,045 --> 00:30:40,806
Well, that's where
you're wrong,
783
00:30:40,956 --> 00:30:43,828
because your bail
is set at $1 million,
784
00:30:43,916 --> 00:30:45,831
and the city's willing
to pay it.
785
00:30:49,517 --> 00:30:51,095
You know, um...
786
00:30:51,889 --> 00:30:54,587
I've spent my career convincing
law students like Keri
787
00:30:54,675 --> 00:30:56,764
that, uh, it wasn't the money.
788
00:30:56,852 --> 00:30:59,642
It was the privilege to serve
that would drive them.
789
00:30:59,730 --> 00:31:01,994
You lost that privilege,
Mr. Sharma.
790
00:31:02,089 --> 00:31:04,095
Oh, I lost
a lot more than that.
791
00:31:04,805 --> 00:31:06,189
I mean, look at me.
792
00:31:07,723 --> 00:31:09,611
I gave the city 20 years,
793
00:31:10,307 --> 00:31:12,783
20 years.
794
00:31:13,591 --> 00:31:15,431
And now I'm nothing in it.
795
00:31:16,859 --> 00:31:18,618
Keep your money.
796
00:31:32,353 --> 00:31:34,573
Don't tell me,
the mayor fired you
797
00:31:34,660 --> 00:31:36,053
and you're coming back
to New York.
798
00:31:36,446 --> 00:31:37,488
Hardly.
799
00:31:37,576 --> 00:31:39,556
You took over and you
renamed the city Pearson.
800
00:31:39,784 --> 00:31:42,444
- That's more like it.
- How are you, Jessica?
801
00:31:42,532 --> 00:31:44,615
I'm just fine,
thank you very much,
802
00:31:44,703 --> 00:31:45,647
but I do need a favor.
803
00:31:45,735 --> 00:31:47,076
I can be on
the first plane out.
804
00:31:47,164 --> 00:31:48,740
Save your miles for Tahiti.
805
00:31:48,954 --> 00:31:51,029
You can do this
from right where you are.
806
00:31:51,164 --> 00:31:54,061
Good, I wasn't about
to battle airport traffic.
807
00:31:55,061 --> 00:31:56,514
What do you need?
808
00:32:03,319 --> 00:32:04,920
Oh, man.
809
00:32:05,189 --> 00:32:07,152
You should have seen
the look on Sharma's face
810
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,368
when I exposed his corrupt ass
to the city council.
811
00:32:09,455 --> 00:32:10,920
It was beautiful.
812
00:32:11,055 --> 00:32:12,764
Now I'm ready to run.
813
00:32:13,654 --> 00:32:15,123
What's the matter, Pat?
814
00:32:16,070 --> 00:32:17,584
City attorney
a friend of yours?
815
00:32:17,731 --> 00:32:19,167
No.
816
00:32:19,293 --> 00:32:20,991
No, your...
Your big money backers
817
00:32:21,079 --> 00:32:23,255
were friends with him,
and now they've all pulled out.
818
00:32:23,379 --> 00:32:24,584
- Fuck them.
- "Fuck them"?
819
00:32:24,672 --> 00:32:26,725
This is our ticket
to a whole new revenue stream
820
00:32:26,825 --> 00:32:28,905
now that the voters know
I'm gonna clean this shit up.
821
00:32:28,992 --> 00:32:30,096
You idiot.
822
00:32:30,184 --> 00:32:31,780
And your father said
you were the smart one.
823
00:32:31,867 --> 00:32:32,754
Let's leave him
out of this.
824
00:32:32,842 --> 00:32:34,968
You think I'm helping you out
of the goodness of my heart?
825
00:32:35,055 --> 00:32:37,436
Your old man and I,
we had an arrangement.
826
00:32:37,524 --> 00:32:39,014
What the hell
are you talking about?
827
00:32:42,702 --> 00:32:43,967
Tommy Diehl.
828
00:32:44,958 --> 00:32:48,647
Look what happened
to Diehl made me sick,
829
00:32:48,847 --> 00:32:51,197
but everybody knows
he was dirty.
830
00:32:51,464 --> 00:32:52,734
And he had nothing
to do with me.
831
00:32:52,821 --> 00:32:55,355
No, he had everything
to do with you.
832
00:32:55,443 --> 00:32:57,303
Quid pro quo, Bobby boy.
833
00:32:57,391 --> 00:32:58,975
Quid pro quo.
834
00:33:00,373 --> 00:33:02,077
Are you saying my old man
took care of Diehl?
835
00:33:02,164 --> 00:33:04,662
And in exchange,
I make his son mayor.
836
00:33:04,859 --> 00:33:06,817
Jesus Christ.
837
00:33:08,914 --> 00:33:11,139
I don't want your help.
I don't need it.
838
00:33:11,227 --> 00:33:12,534
You don't get
a choice in this.
839
00:33:12,622 --> 00:33:13,795
The hell I don't!
840
00:33:13,883 --> 00:33:16,061
After today, I won't have
any trouble raising money.
841
00:33:16,149 --> 00:33:17,967
Oh, okay, Bobby.
842
00:33:18,055 --> 00:33:20,584
All right, you... you go out
and you find other backing
843
00:33:20,672 --> 00:33:23,029
'cause you're a talented,
charismatic guy,
844
00:33:23,154 --> 00:33:24,912
but that's all
you'll ever be.
845
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,371
You're not becoming mayor
if the public finds out
846
00:33:27,459 --> 00:33:28,660
that your family was involved
847
00:33:28,748 --> 00:33:31,373
in the disappearance
of a union boss.
848
00:33:40,505 --> 00:33:41,985
Cheer up.
849
00:33:42,483 --> 00:33:44,592
You're gonna be
an important man.
850
00:33:48,744 --> 00:33:50,217
To your campaign.
851
00:33:51,404 --> 00:33:53,514
You can start
by getting rid of the girl.
852
00:34:04,991 --> 00:34:07,318
- B3 still sticking?
- Hi.
853
00:34:07,419 --> 00:34:08,603
- Hi.
- Yeah.
854
00:34:08,857 --> 00:34:10,123
It's all right.
855
00:34:16,763 --> 00:34:18,294
Thank you.
856
00:34:19,490 --> 00:34:22,732
Um, can we go somewhere
and talk?
857
00:34:22,888 --> 00:34:25,067
Listen, you don't have to
worry about stringing together
858
00:34:25,154 --> 00:34:27,035
some lame version
of, "I'm a jerk
859
00:34:27,123 --> 00:34:29,804
"that slept with you once and
I don't have time for a relationship."
860
00:34:29,919 --> 00:34:32,044
That's not what I wanted
to talk to you about.
861
00:34:33,410 --> 00:34:35,325
Either way, thank you
for what you did for me.
862
00:34:35,413 --> 00:34:36,628
I should be thanking you.
863
00:34:36,716 --> 00:34:38,224
It's gonna be a boon
to my career.
864
00:34:38,937 --> 00:34:41,740
And it made me feel like myself
for the first time in a while.
865
00:34:41,908 --> 00:34:44,287
Listen, Bobby,
now that, um, Sherma's out,
866
00:34:44,375 --> 00:34:45,855
work is different for me.
867
00:34:45,943 --> 00:34:48,902
I really need people to know
that I'm here on my own merits.
868
00:34:49,133 --> 00:34:51,451
And not because some alderman
took an interest in you.
869
00:34:51,644 --> 00:34:52,982
Yeah.
870
00:34:54,319 --> 00:34:57,318
- Somebody say something?
- No, they didn't need to.
871
00:34:59,716 --> 00:35:01,021
And that's the whole reason?
872
00:35:01,109 --> 00:35:02,951
That and the fact
that you're married,
873
00:35:03,162 --> 00:35:04,466
and I don't want
to be the reason
874
00:35:04,554 --> 00:35:05,834
you don't go back
to your wife.
875
00:35:05,922 --> 00:35:07,638
That's not something
I can deal with.
876
00:35:08,709 --> 00:35:10,334
Just so you know,
877
00:35:10,692 --> 00:35:12,826
I ever make it
to that fifth floor office,
878
00:35:13,156 --> 00:35:14,185
I'm taking you with me.
879
00:35:14,273 --> 00:35:15,998
Yeah, you gonna
run for mayor?
880
00:35:16,567 --> 00:35:18,802
Uh, I'm thinking about it.
881
00:35:19,526 --> 00:35:20,966
What do you think?
882
00:35:21,571 --> 00:35:22,927
Would you vote for me?
883
00:35:25,172 --> 00:35:26,675
I might.
884
00:35:27,404 --> 00:35:28,840
It's a deal then.
885
00:35:28,981 --> 00:35:31,589
Can't shortchange
that meteoric rise, can we?
886
00:35:51,678 --> 00:35:53,113
It's over.
887
00:35:53,376 --> 00:35:55,120
- Hmm?
- Your problem.
888
00:35:55,208 --> 00:35:56,573
It's over.
889
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:58,129
How much?
890
00:35:58,279 --> 00:36:00,136
Didn't cost
the city a dime.
891
00:36:04,130 --> 00:36:06,136
You didn't cut all my ties
892
00:36:06,224 --> 00:36:08,097
when you took a knife
to my career.
893
00:36:08,678 --> 00:36:10,549
I still have powerful friends
in New York.
894
00:36:10,644 --> 00:36:12,144
I made a call.
To who?
895
00:36:12,247 --> 00:36:13,509
What's gonna happen to him?
896
00:36:13,597 --> 00:36:16,284
They're lawyers, Keri,
not mobsters.
897
00:36:16,372 --> 00:36:18,339
Harvey Specter
is connecting him
898
00:36:18,427 --> 00:36:20,152
with some corporate firms
899
00:36:20,240 --> 00:36:21,839
in the market
for a Michael Clayton.
900
00:36:23,752 --> 00:36:25,863
So that's it?
He's willing to just walk away,
901
00:36:25,951 --> 00:36:28,558
no revenge, no payout?
He didn't want the money.
902
00:36:28,646 --> 00:36:29,995
He wanted his name back.
903
00:36:30,148 --> 00:36:31,548
He wasn't gonna get
that in Chicago.
904
00:36:31,637 --> 00:36:33,558
So you rewarded him
with a new job
905
00:36:33,646 --> 00:36:34,997
after the shitting the bed
in his old one.
906
00:36:35,084 --> 00:36:36,761
God, that's
a real sweet deal.
907
00:36:36,849 --> 00:36:38,519
I did for him
what Bobby did for me.
908
00:36:38,748 --> 00:36:40,433
And I can tell you
from experience,
909
00:36:40,526 --> 00:36:42,456
starting over isn't easy.
910
00:36:42,848 --> 00:36:45,198
He won't be living large
in exile.
911
00:36:46,705 --> 00:36:48,839
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
912
00:36:49,288 --> 00:36:50,550
And I'm sorry.
913
00:36:50,958 --> 00:36:51,988
For what?
914
00:36:52,076 --> 00:36:53,284
I never should have
questioned
915
00:36:53,372 --> 00:36:54,765
how you got your job.
916
00:36:54,968 --> 00:36:57,769
The truth is, Bobby is mayor
because of you.
917
00:36:58,824 --> 00:37:00,433
Nobody knows it...
918
00:37:02,456 --> 00:37:04,339
and I wish they did.
919
00:37:07,472 --> 00:37:09,042
Thank you.
920
00:37:22,314 --> 00:37:24,446
What's the status
of my Ickaris assignment?
921
00:37:24,533 --> 00:37:25,743
All taken care of.
922
00:37:26,402 --> 00:37:28,220
Sounds like Everett
was satisfied
923
00:37:28,308 --> 00:37:29,329
with your presentation.
924
00:37:29,417 --> 00:37:31,860
He's on a plane home
right now singing our praises.
925
00:37:31,948 --> 00:37:33,946
And how much ass-kissing
did Derrick have to do
926
00:37:34,034 --> 00:37:35,532
to clean up your mess?
927
00:37:36,771 --> 00:37:38,126
Give me one good reason
928
00:37:38,214 --> 00:37:40,189
why I shouldn't fire you
right now.
929
00:37:42,579 --> 00:37:43,618
I'm sorry.
930
00:37:43,706 --> 00:37:46,220
I'm almost never wrong
about a person, Yoli.
931
00:37:47,079 --> 00:37:49,342
But maybe I was when I thought
I saw something in you.
932
00:37:49,438 --> 00:37:51,970
No, you weren't.
You're wrong now.
933
00:37:52,058 --> 00:37:53,364
If you're gonna correct me,
934
00:37:53,452 --> 00:37:55,323
then you'd better have
a damn good explanation.
935
00:37:55,411 --> 00:37:57,413
I'm the voice
this place is missing.
936
00:37:57,522 --> 00:37:59,884
I'm passionate about the things
that are important,
937
00:37:59,972 --> 00:38:02,806
and I am not afraid to push on
the issues that I care about.
938
00:38:03,181 --> 00:38:04,721
Isn't that what
we're supposed to do here?
939
00:38:04,808 --> 00:38:06,767
Not if it costs us
valuable relationships
940
00:38:06,855 --> 00:38:07,769
and opportunities.
941
00:38:07,857 --> 00:38:09,321
I know I can be
a lot sometimes,
942
00:38:09,409 --> 00:38:11,704
but... I'm not stupid.
943
00:38:12,223 --> 00:38:13,877
I can learn how
to do this job,
944
00:38:13,965 --> 00:38:15,548
but you can't teach passion.
945
00:38:15,854 --> 00:38:17,509
So please...
946
00:38:18,602 --> 00:38:20,352
just give me another chance.
947
00:38:24,312 --> 00:38:25,938
One shot.
948
00:38:27,115 --> 00:38:28,438

00:38:46,061 --> 00:38:47,176

I'm in a relationship.

976
00:39:38,986 --> 00:39:39,943
Sorry?
977
00:39:40,037 --> 00:39:42,030
It's why I told Bobby
I understood
978
00:39:42,118 --> 00:39:43,311
what he was going through.
979
00:39:43,399 --> 00:39:44,881
It tore me apart,
980
00:39:44,969 --> 00:39:47,145
knowing that someone
that I loved,
981
00:39:47,401 --> 00:39:50,230
no matter how complicated
it was, was suffering.
982
00:39:50,318 --> 00:39:52,186
And even though
I was so in control
983
00:39:52,274 --> 00:39:53,710
of everything all day,
984
00:39:53,798 --> 00:39:55,897
I was powerless
to do anything about it.
985
00:39:55,985 --> 00:39:58,436
I had to stand by and watch,
986
00:39:59,616 --> 00:40:01,514
and I'm not
very good at that.
987
00:40:02,429 --> 00:40:03,517
Why didn't you tell Bobby?
988
00:40:03,605 --> 00:40:06,739
Because the story ends
with a man dying,
989
00:40:07,082 --> 00:40:09,874
and I don't think he's ready
to hear that right now.
990
00:40:12,149 --> 00:40:13,936
He might appreciate
a little empathy.
991
00:40:14,029 --> 00:40:16,639
But I don't really
understand it.
992
00:40:16,734 --> 00:40:20,983
My ex-husband was diagnosed
after we were divorced.
993
00:40:21,761 --> 00:40:24,069
I don't know
how I would have handled it
994
00:40:24,157 --> 00:40:26,413
had it happened
during our marriage.
995
00:40:28,176 --> 00:40:31,975
I like to think
I'm a better person now, but...
996
00:40:32,709 --> 00:40:34,741
Yeah, I think
you're a better person
997
00:40:34,829 --> 00:40:36,311
than even you think you are.
998
00:40:40,077 --> 00:40:41,874
I don't know
why I'm telling you this.
999
00:40:42,845 --> 00:40:44,944
