Who We Are Now Page #2

---

Yes, yeah, it's fine.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Just tell her no.

No, it's fine, it's fine.

No, it's Monica's wedding.

If she wants green, then

we're wearing green.

It's not.

It's really okay.

If you wanna do

green, we'll do green.

To show off their figures.

We'll just at least try blue.

Do you want everyone

to try another dress?

Okay, everybody, let's

try another dress.

Try pink, I love pink.

Blue. Blue.

Everyone will wear blue?

Okay, let's just go.

Yeah, it's fine.

Can you just, can you pin?

Oh yeah, sorry.

No, it's okay.

Daniel?

Are you kidding me with that?

What?

Name one play by Molire.

So let's...

Backtrack because everything

is kinda interrelated.

And let's talk a little bit

about the landlord situation

with the residence

that you were at.

Because if we can

deal with that,

maybe we could

alleviate the situation

with what's going on in

terms of the shelter.

The point is that you

bringing a photo forward

will make perfect sense

along with the citation.

But the problem is if we don't

have photographic evidence

then they can just

fight it and say,

"It's not true. It's not true."

Hey, Jan.

How're you doing?

I'm good, nice to

see you guys again.

Good to see you,

good to see you.

Say hi to Miss Jan.

How do you do?

How do you do?

He was just explaining

to me a little bit about

the situation with the

shelter that they were in.

So if we actually took

a picture, got caught...

Yes.

You can't get fired from

a job for taking a photo.

Is the avenue we need to

go down to find out what,

what happened there

with the payment plan.

Right.

And any of the eviction notices

that they might have gotten

or might not have gotten

because that happens

all the time too.

You want it to be in

the system that you went,

that you were, you know.

It doesn't meant anything

if you just tell a

neighbor or something.

That doesn't hold up in court.

So we definitely need

you to go see a doctor

and have that documented, okay?

Did you guys already talk about

what happened with his landlord?

Is there any way we could just...

We're definitely

having trouble with that.

You know what I'm saying?

It was the final notice and

it was only the first notice.

Right.

No having

stamps on the paperwork.

Right. Right.

You know, conniving stuff

and I don't have a

way of proving it.

I don't have a, I

can't afford a lawyer.

You called several times.

You hit the right place.

We've got investigators who

can be able to deal with that.

Thank you. I really

appreciate you.

Yeah, we've seen

this a lot, unfortunately.

Yeah.

You wanted to see me?

Yeah.

Judge agreed to

release Sean Jones.

That's great.

What pushed it over the edge?

Other than your genius.

The knife.

He realized that the prosecution

was trying to sluff

over the screw-up.

They were.

So I'm gonna need you

to come with me tomorrow,

if you can, to pick this kid up.

I don't think I can tomorrow.

I can help you...

Believe me, I'm not asking

because I wanna hang out

with your amazing self.

Listen,

this kid has been in jail

for f***ing three years.

I need some help keeping

him on the steady

and you're really

good with that.

What?

Just seems like big bad Carlos

is scared to go by himself.

Oh, please.

I gotta use everybody's

best assets here, girl.

You're a pretty white girl.

Sean's gangbanger friends

are gonna be there

and I would quiet like

to have them focused in

on looking good for you

as apposed to being

all bent out of shape

and out for blood

because their boy, Sean,

was wrongfully arrested.

Okay.

Yes, I'll be there.

Let me know if there's

anything else you need me to do

other than be your bodyguard.

Maybe you can try to

excavate that little charm

from that cynical pit that

you call a personality.

That would be cool.

Mhmm.

I'll dig deep.

For you.

I actually do

have something else.

Grab a seat.

Uh-uh.

Good or bad?

Well,

that all just depends on

who's hearing it, right?

Okay.

I'm hoping for you

it's gonna be good.

Deborah?

Mhmm.

She got offered this job in D.C.

And she's taking it, she

told me this morning.

Good for Deb.

Yeah, good for Deb.

Good for Deb.

Good for you too.

Come on, Jess,

you were like third in your

class at Columbia, right?

I'm offering you a job.

Oh.

Oh god.

Carl's fine, thanks.

I've only been a junior

litigator here for a year.

I mean, there's like

five people ahead of me

for that promotion.

I run a meritocracy, here, Jess.

I don't want them.

In or out?

I'm flattered.

Don't be flattered.

Be concise.

I got like a sit down with

apposing council and a client

in like an hour, so, yes or no.

It's an amazing opportunity.

I just...

Concise.

Councilor.

I don't know what I

wanna do with my life.

I mean, let alone with my job.

I mean,

I kinda came to the Watch

Dogs to figure that out

and taking a senior

position here

is a very, very big commitment

and I thought I'd have another

year to figure that out.

Yeah.

Well, you don't.

And the caveat to

this whole thing is

that with this change,

I'm gonna have to offer your

current job to someone new.

Someone who's willing

to come in here

and establish themselves.

I told you what I'm

trying to do here.

I'm trying to establish

these permanent teams.

I'm trying to build

something here

so we can actually do

something for this community.

So it's kinda like sh*t or

get off the pot time, kid.

Sh*t.

Okay, so is that an exclamation

or is that an answer?

Just give me a second.

I mean,

it's my mom.

I still live at home and...

You still live at home?

You shouldn't tell

clients that, though.

You should pay me more.

Well maybe that's what I'm

in the middle of trying to do.

Look,

my mom freaked out when

I told her I was coming

to the Watch Dogs for a year.

She wanted me to go

to a big, fancy firm.

Jess,

I'm not offering

your momma the job.

So obviously it's

best for all of us

if this goes as

smoothly as possible.

With the least amount

of stress for everyone.

"Less stress."

That's the operative word here,

especially for young Alex.

- Alec.

- Alec.

Alec, yes.

I'm so sorry.

Been a long week.

Alec.

So what we've initially

proposed here...

It's no longer acceptable.

We talked about this on

the phone this week, Rebecca.

What we're talking

about is shared custody

in favor of your clients.

We're not even asking

for time at Christmas

or summer vacation.

What's changed?

My clients have changed.

They've changed their

minds which is their right.

Gabby and Sam, they both feel

that Alec needs consistency

and they're worried

that moving him

between two houses regularly,

it might but a strain on him.

That's bullshit.

Beth.

You need to be quiet here

because she's gonna be writing

down everything you say.

Okay, just let me do this.

The child is already confused

about who your client even is.

Due respect, that's

because your clients

never even told the boy
