- I wanted to thank you
for helping me with my mom.

- Rebecca Adler from McDermott
called me today about you.

I told her she was getting
the best lawyer I've ever seen.

- I know that wasn't easy.

- I love you.

- What's the deal with
the mayor's trip to Seattle?

They're saying he's doing
all kinds of dirty shit.

- Bobby told me
to lay off McGann

because he just made a deal
to put Ickaris on his land.

He didn't tell you.
- He did not.

There's a homeless encampment
growing outside of City Hall.

Doesn't look very good
for your friend Bobby.

- Yeah, I'm not in
the welfare business.

- You have over 200 vacant
units in Streeterville.

- I'm Carlos Salazar.

- I spoke with the city
last night.

They gave us an offer.

- This is just a Band-Aid
to get you off the street.

- You think we'll take
the scraps you're handing us

and give up.
Let me tell you something,

Mr. Mayor.
We aren't going anywhere!

Not going anywhere!

- Nick was unsettled
by something McGann did.

A grown man doesn't
go after another

unless his back
is against the wall.

- Did you tell Jessica Pearson
what you did?

- No.
- Well, she figured it out,

and she can take us all down.

Put the gun down.

- I killed someone
and I wanna confess.

- They used
to call me "psycho."

Like in a loving way,
you know, like...

"Psycho" 'cause I-I nearly
killed some neighborhood kid

when I was 14.

Bashed his head in
with a brick.

After I saw what I did
to that kid,

I swore I would never
hurt anybody again.

But he knew people were
scared of me and he used it.

That's why when he wanted
to get rid of Diehl

he told his buddy Pete to
have his flunky son do it.

But he knew
it would go sideways.

He didn't care.

And now I found out
he's got a tape.

I should've killed
him years ago.

- Stop.
You shouldn't say anymore.

- You--you're a lawyer, right?

I can tell you anything.
This stays between us.

- Of course it does,
but I'm not

a criminal defense attorney,
Nick.

- This is what McGann
has on us.

I mean, I killed Diehl for him.

And he's using it
to control Bobby.

I-I don't know
where else to go.

Don't you care?

I-I know you care about Bobby.

- I don't understand.
You've been living

with this for 15 years?

Why--
- I can't live with it anymore.

Haven't you ever gotten
to a point where you can't

live with something anymore?

I'm going to the police.

I don't care what you say.
I just want this over and done.

I just thought that maybe--
maybe you could--

- Okay, okay, okay, hey.
- Maybe if I came to you...

- Okay, look at me.
- For some help--I don't know.

- I will help you.

all:
Not going anywhere!

- Ladies and gentlemen.
- Not going anywhere!

- Ladies and gentlemen, please.

If you don't clear the room
in an orderly fashion,

the County Sheriffs
will start making arrests.

- Let's head to City Hall, guys.
Come on, let's go.

- Well, that must
be your cousin.

I thought you were gonna try
to talk some sense into her.

- Well, you told me

Carlos Salazar was
the real threat.

- Yeah, well, apparently she's
the one they're listening to.

And I'm fighting
a war on two fronts.

- There's no reason
for a fight at all

when your friend has
200 empty apartments on Huron.

- God damn it, I told you
we won't be visiting that.

- Can I say something?
- What?

- Give them what they want.

- And what does that mean?

- It means go back there
and tell them you're committed

to a 21st Century Housing plan,

safe, permanent housing to
replace the original projects.

- So lie to their faces,
while I'm on camera.

Sounds like a great campaign ad

for any one of the hundred
people trying to take my job.

- I'm not saying lie.
I'm saying make a commitment.

- We don't have the votes
or the money, Derrick.

- You haven't even tried.

- You picked a hell of a night

to start binge watching
your favorite show.

- Are you alone?

- I am now.

- Nick D'Amato's sitting
in my living room.

- Oh, thank God.

The mayor needs some good news.

- No, you can't tell him.

- Keri, he's been going
out of his mind.

He's gonna want to know.

- Can you just get
to my place now, please?

- Do you have any idea
what's going on down here?

- I do, and trust me,
this is worse.

- Things settling down
out there?

- Well, no one's in cuffs yet,
if that's what you mean.

Thanks.
- Well don't thank me.

City Hall's not our court.
Across the street is though.

- What's your point?

- Someone threw a bottle

and hit one of my men
earlier tonight.

12 stitches in his head.

- Someone from
the demonstration?

- Does it matter?
- Yeah, actually, it does.

- Oh, come on, Bobby.
- No, you come on.

You want us to just sweep
those people out like trash

because your men
have built-in risk?

Tell them to do their jobs.

- Okay, my men,
they're happy to do their job,

but whenever they're in a line,
they're seen as a threat.

- I'm not pulling them.
- I'm not asking you to.

But this isn't just about
protecting a demonstration.

It's becoming a public health
and safety issue.

- It's also a political one.
- Bingo.

- You have a job
to protect those people, Chuck.

- I've got a job to protect
all of your voters, Bobby.

- Look, Chuck, I just need
a little time to settle this.

You go in there
with 20 cruisers,

it's gonna go
from bad to worse.

- I can try
and buy you some time,

but the clock's ticking.

- Don't go inside yet.

- I don't plan to until you
tell me what I'm walking into.

- Are you familiar
with the union boss

who disappeared in '03?

- Tommy Diehl.

- Nick wants to confess
to killing him.

He says that
he did it for McGann,

that it was self-defense,
and that that's what McGann

is holding over them.

Apparently there's
a tape proving it.

You don't look surprised.

- That he killed him
or that he wants to confess?

- I don't have time
to play 20 questions, Jessica.

Do you want to help me or not?

- He came to you because
he needs an attorney.

- Jessica, I--
I'm leaving City Hall

because I don't wanna
be a part of this anymore.

I can't.

I already told Bobby
I'm quitting.

I need him out of my apartment.

I'll talk to him.

- Okay, uh, he doesn't
know I called you.

He thinks I'm out
here getting food.

- Is there anything else
I need to know?

- Yeah.
He has a gun.

- Wonderful.

- What's she doing here?

- Let Jessica handle this.
It's what she does.

- I told you everything.
- Yes, you did,

and I can't repeat a word of it
or I'd lose my license.

- And what about her?
She's got no license to lose.

- Nick, please--
- I should never have come here.

- Please, listen--
- It's okay, Keri.

Let me talk to him.

- I'm not fucking
talking to you.

- I knew when you left
we were headed down this road.

- Yeah, you don't know shit.
- I did know.

And I meant it when I said
I want to help you.

- Don't bullshit me.

You have been nothing but
trouble since you got here.

And before then, we--we were--
- What?

Fine?

You and your brother

have been blackmailed
for 15 years.

I hardly call that fine.

And if you're really
trying to protect him,

you can't just walk
into a police station

and you certainly
can't do it now.

- This is about me and McGann.

This has nothing
to do with Bobby.

- Nick, wake up.
You open that Pandora's Box,

I guarantee it's gonna
come back around on him.

He has major liability.

- You don't know that.
- I do.

You do this now,
while he's dealing with

this tidal wave at City Hall,
you won't be protecting him.

You'll be feeding him
to the lions.

- I'm gonna confess.
You can't talk me out of it.

- Oh--okay, no.
I'm not gonna try.

I'm not, but you gotta
keep Keri out of this.

And you need to do it right.

- You can trust her.

You can.

- Good night, Daddy.
I love you.

- I love you too, Monkey.

Put Mommy back on the phone?

- Mom, Daddy wants
to talk to you.

- Thank you, sweetie.

Yeah?

- Hey, I'm not coming
home tonight.

- Really.
This is your plan from now on?

- What?

- I'm just asking if this

is the way that
it's going to be.

- Things are blowing up here.
I just wanted--

- I thought we were done
with the lying, Bobby.

- Jesus, Steph.
Turn on the news.

- You can't make it home.

Okay, I get it.

- You're still my wife.

We can talk about that
when things aren't blowing up.

- Are you filing for divorce?

- I said we can talk
about that later.

- God damn it.

If you're gonna play games,
maybe I won't--

- Games?
- That's right, games.

File or don't file.

I'm not gonna let you use it

to lead me around by the balls.

- You're lashing out
at the wrong person.

I am not the one who has been
neutering you all these years.

- Hey.
- Hi.

- Did you hear about the
shitstorm over at City Council?

- I did.

- Did you know it was Jessica's
cousin that's ringleader?

- I do.
- Did I do something wrong?

- No, no, I'm just trying
to finish up so I can go home.

My dad and I have a lot
of paperwork to fill out

for my mom's hearing.

- That almost sounded true.

- That is true.

- And this has nothing
to do with that kiss?

- What kiss?
- What kiss?

I-I didn't kiss you.

- Your lips, my face.
I call that a kiss.

- I'd call it a peck.

- Where's Ms. Pearson?

She's not here.

- Where is she?
- I don't know.

She didn't tell me.

- I need you.

You think Karen Chao
will support that

Permanent Housing Project
you're always going on about?

- I think she's open to it.

Depends on what
you're willing to give up.

- Set a meeting with her
for tomorrow morning.

Find out what she wants.

- Meeting with the
City Council President.

Isn't that something your
Chief of Staff should handle?

- Stop wrangling for
a promotion, get it done.

- And will you be part
of said meeting?

- No, I have the groundbreaking
for Ickaris tomorrow.

- Are you shitting me?
We're at DEFCON 1

and you're still rolling out
the red carpet for that guy?

- I'm rolling out
the red carpet

because it's a means to an end.

- You said McGann wasn't
on the hook

for replacement housing.

- You heard Ms. Pearson.

He's got 200 empty apartments
in Streeterville.

- So you're gonna go out
there and flat out lie?

- No.

I'm making a commitment.

- This should be warm enough,

but if you need another
blanket just let me know.

- Doesn't matter.
I can't sleep.

You need some rest, Nick.

- I can't.

- In that case...

why don't you write down
everything you told Keri and...

all the stuff
you didn't tell her.

- You want my confession?

We not only need to make sure

your story holds water...

we need to account
for what Bobby knows

and when he found out.

- And what do you need it for?

You really don't trust anybody,
do you?

- It's because
everybody I've known

has either turned against me
or let me down.

- Your brother hasn't.

- No.

He's the only one.
He, uh, saved--

I know you don't trust me, Nick.

But you're a fool if you turn
yourself in without a lawyer.

And the lawyer we get you
might not have

Bobby's best interests at
heart.

- Like you, you mean?

- You know what?

I wouldn't think of taking
your statement right now.

You need a good night's rest.

And if you still don't
trust me in the morning,

there's the door.

But there's one thing
I need tonight.

You can't be in my home
with a gun.

- Fuck you.

- If that's how you feel,
you can leave right now.

- I'm not gonna hurt you,
Jessica.

- It's not my safety
I'm worried about.

Please, for Bobby.

You say you're doing
this for him.

If something were
to happen to you...

Thank you.

- Welcome.

Before we officially
break ground

on this amazing new project,

Mayor Novak would like
to say a few words.

- Thank you, Derrick.
Good morning.

As you know,
I recently flew out to Seattle

to convince
Ickaris CEO David Nilsson

to build his headquarters
on this sight

instead of the previously
planned Lincoln Yards.

And I told him why.

Point blank.

I promised to bring jobs
to the South Side.

Now David was concerned
that his company not

be the reason
for less affordable housing.

So I assured him
that Pat McGann and I

were as committed as he is
to fixing that problem,

and that we could find a way
to both bring jobs here

and not abandon
our neediest residents.

So, when Pat saw
what was going on

outside City Hall,

he called me last night
and he donated

over 200 apartments
on Huron Street

as temporary homes

for those displaced
by the redevelopment.

That's what Chicago is.

We're all in this together.

Thank you, Pat.

- You stupid son of a bitch,

I can pull out and
embarrass you, you know.

- No, you won't do that.

You're the one who made
the promise, not me.

- You have any idea what
putting those people

in that neighborhood
is gonna do?

- "Those people"?
Careful, Pat, you don't want

to be mistaken for a racist.

- I'm a realist.

Now forget what
it's gonna cost me.

You're trading bad optics
for a potential riot.

- Jesus, grow up.
It's not 1968.

- What Chicago
are you living in?

It's still two cities.
And I swear to God--

- Swear to God, what?

You're gonna keep your word

and put those people
in your apartments

or I'm gonna blow everything
to fucking pieces.

- You're self-destructing,
kiddo.

- Yeah, that's what happens
when you got nothing to lose.

All right.

Everybody ready?
- Yeah.

- One, two, three.

- Feeling inspired?

- You said you
wanted everything in writing,

so this is everything.

- Well, I also need
to know what's on

this tape Keri mentioned.

- It's all here.

- All right, I'll look at it.

But just remember,
even if you've dotted all

the I's and crossed
all the T's,

we can't just walk
into the police--

- Until everything's in order

and the timing makes sense
for Bobby.

I got it.
I got it.

Thank you.

- I haven't done anything yet.
- I mean for last night.

Truth is, I've been
in a pretty dark place

these last few days
and you were right to, um...

I just need this off my back.

So...

thank you for doing this.

- You're welcome.

- Can I ask you
for one more thing?

And it is not easy for me.

- You can always ask.

- I haven't showered in awhile.

- I noticed.

I can go back to my place
if you're not comfortable.

- I promised Keri
that I would handle this

and you need someone
to look after you, so...

- Okay.

- Yep.
Towels are under the sink.

- Hey, just, uh, pull up
here on the left, please.

Ah, thank you.

Danny, what are
you doing here?

What's going on, Danny?

- Can we go somewhere and talk?

- Thank you for waiting,
Miss Cook.

Can I call you Angela?
- Can I call you Bobby?

- You have caused me
quite a headache, Angela.

- We were just fine
living where we were.

- I'm sorry about North Park.

But I agreed to redevelop
it because the original plan

set aside 35%
for public housing.

- Original plans
are always bullshit.

If I knew that, I find it hard
to believe you didn't.

But there's nothing more we can
do about that now, is there?

- About the past?
No.

But about your future,
there is.

Have a seat.
I want to show you something.

The original developer
owns three high-rises

in Streeterville.

As of this morning,

he's committing over 200 units

to you and your
fellow demonstrators.

Nearby shopping, fresh markets,

good schools, low-crime.

We heard you.

You deserve better
than the existing shelters.

- Mm-hmm.

And he's just gonna let us
all live there for free?

- For up to three months.

- Look, Angela.

I saw your children out there.

Conditions are only
gonna deteriorate.

This is no place for them.

- And neither is the shelter
on 71st, which is exactly

where we'll end up
when the clock runs out.

- I'm working with
the City Council right now

to find a permanent solution.

- Carlos Salazar
said you'd say that.

- Carlos isn't here.
You and I are.

Work with me.
I'm willing to--

I'm willing to make whatever
sacrifices are needed.

- Sacrifices?
No offense, Mr. Mayor,

but I gave up
my home and my job.

What did you have to give up?
A Tuesday night?

- Angela.
Angela.

- So, what do you think?

I think...

if you're going
to confess to murder,

then you need to make sure
everything makes sense.

- I didn't murder anybody.

It was self-defense.
You read it.

- Why didn't you
go to the police?

- What are you doing?
- I'm preparing you.

Why didn't you
go to the police?

- Because I went to his office
with a baseball bat.

- To scare him, and then,
"things got out of hand."

- That's right.

- He pulled a knife on you,

grabbed your throat,
scratched your face.

- So what?

- That's evidence
of a struggle.

- I did time in juvie.

You think they
were gonna believe me?

I was a scared kid.
- Who killed a man.

A big man.

Tommy Diehl was...
200, 220?

- Yeah, that didn't matter
once the bat hit him.

- What about afterwards?
- What about it?

- How'd you get rid
of the body?

- I dumped him in the lake.
It's all right there.

- No, it isn't.

What dock was it?

What time of day
did you get there?

How does a man who's
160 pounds soaking wet

do all of that by himself?

I know you had help.

You weren't alone.

- I don't
believe this shit.

- You're a cop, Nick.

You know what
they're gonna do to you.

They're gonna put
you in a box until

you get your story straight.

- So let 'em.
I'm confessing.

- To what?
For who?

- I am not lying.

- You stood in the lobby
of City Hall and told me,

if I thought you
were capable of murder

to get myself another driver.

You remember saying that?

Were you lying then?

- Yes.

- You seemed
awfully convincing.

Mr. Mayor?

I was just about to call you.

- Now I'm waist-deep in this.
Where the hell are you?

- I'm handling a situation.
- Yeah, well, handle it later.

Your cousin's gone
full activist on me.

I need you here now.

- Do you know when
Keri's coming back?

- Miss Allen called
in sick today.

- I hope you get what you want.
- Yeah, me too.

- Thank you, Yoli.

- You're welcome.

And, uh, nice to meet you.

- You too.

- Temperature's supposed
to drop tonight.

- Thank you for
the weather forecast.

We'll be fine.

- You know, the mayor pulled
a lot of strings

to get enough housing for you
and everyone else out there.

- It was a half measure.

- You know what, Angela,
you keep biting your nose

to spite your face,
you won't be able to breathe.

- We'll stay through
the first snow if we have to.

- You're acting like woman
who has nothing to lose.

- I have nothing to lose.

- You lost your job.

It wasn't even
because I missed a shift.

It was the fact
that I took food

and said no one helped me.

Food they were gonna throw out.

- Come back.
Stay with me.

- I can't put my needs
over the big picture.

Look, Carlos said that
if we just stay committed--

- Carlos is a politician.

His commitment to the cause

ended as soon as I offered
him the vacant alderman seat.

- So that's what you did.

- I'm sorry.

- You know what,
look, it's getting late.

I gotta pick up the boys.

- Angela, wait.

There's something I wanna
show you before you go.

- If it means
going back to the mayor

asking for a payoff,
it's a waste of time.

- I don't need him for this.

- Hey, do you
wanna help me

with this affordable housing
plan?

- Oh, I-I would love to,

but I just have a ton of work
to do for Jessica

and I'm trying
to get out of here

so I can meet my friends
from Streets and San.

- And last night
it was paperwork to file

for your mom's hearing.
- What?

- You do know
what you're doing, right?

I mean it's obvious,
you can't even look me

in the eyes since that kiss.

- You are so, so hung up
on this kiss thing.

- It messes with a guy's head,

you know.

- Derrick, we work together.

- Ah, so you do have
feelings for me.

It's just that you
don't want to act on it

because we work together.
- Derrick...

- I mean, I can respect that.

I just want the truth.

Let's talk this through.

- Well, the truth is
it was just a peck.

- Here, try it out.

- What are you doing, Jessica?

- It's yours, if you want it.

- What do you mean it's mine?

- You live in the 54th,
don't you?

There's a vacant alderman seat.

The mayor has
four days to fill it

and I'm offering it to you.

- I thought you offered
that seat to Carlos Salazar.

- Carlos showed me
his true colors

when he abandoned you
for power.

Is that the kind of person you
want representing your ward?

- And now you're asking me
to do the same.

- You showed me your true colors
by standing up to the mayor.

- What happens
when Carlos finds out

you broke your promise?

- Let me worry
about Carlos Salazar.

- This is crazy.

I'm not qualified.

- Everything you've done
has put you in this position.

Your work at the hospital,
as a mother,

your involvement in the church,

and now this.

Everyone out there
was listening to you,

and they were listening to you

because you're
a part of their community.

- You're a natural leader,
Angela.

Look what you've done.

You have the Mayor of Chicago

running scared.

You want to set
an example for your boys?

Do more than protest.

Take a seat at the table.

- And in exchange?

Clearly you're doing this
to move the tents.

- No strings.
Come tomorrow.

You're the only name
I'm submitting to the mayor,

whether you're camped
across the street or not.

- You lied to Carlos.

How do I know you're
not doing the same to me?

- Carlos isn't family.

You are.

- McDermott, Will, and Emery.

- Hi, Keri Allen
for Rebecca Adler, please.

- One moment.

- Hi, are you ready
to put a ring on it?

- I was thinking two-carat,
emerald-cut,

but I don't wanna be too showy.

- I think that
we can arrange that.

Are you sure?

- Yeah, yeah.
I'm sure.

- I'm so glad.
Okay.

Why don't you take
the next two weeks

and get things
wrapped up there--

- I actually don't
need two weeks.

I've already spoken
to the mayor.

- That is
fantastic news, Keri.

We are so happy to have you.

Then how's Monday?

- Monday's great.
I will see you then.

- Jeff...
I can explain--

- If this is about
Nick being upstairs,

I-I can explain that.

- I got pinched.

- What does that mean?

- I flew in
to surprise you this morning

and when I got back my friend
from Justice and the FBI

were waiting for me.

I'm so sorry.

- You're sorry?

I have been stuck in a room
in the Federal building

for the past ten goddamn hours,

trying to convince
the government that I had

absolutely nothing to do
with whatever it is

you're messed up in,
and you're sorry?

The file you gave me came

from your friend at Justice.

That means he's in
as much trouble as you are.

- He didn't give me
that file, Jessica.

- What?

- He didn't give it to me.

I took it.

- Oh, my God...

- You said I didn't
have your back.

- I never meant for you
to be a part of this.

- Well, I am.

And now I can't even
walk into my own living room

and know that
it's safe to talk.

- You think it's bugged?

- I don't--Jess, I don't know.

But based on what
they already know,

I guarantee your phone
and office are.

And probably the entire
fifth floor at City Hall.

- No, they need cause
to tap my phones.

- Don't you get it, Jess?

You are under investigation.

They are watching
every single thing that you do.

- I don't wanna hear it.

I'm getting--I'm getting
hourly updates.

Everything's calm out there.

- Have you talked
to Sheriff Layne?

- I haven't talked to that
asshole in two years, why?

- Well, there's a rumor
going around that he's gonna

take matters into his own hand
first thing in the morning.

- What the hell
are you talking about?

He doesn't have jurisdiction.

- Legally he can send
his men wherever he wants.

- He's after my job, isn't he?

- Okay, look, I don't know
if he's running or not,

but if his guys go in there

like some kind of
military force--

- I'll lose the black vote
and I'll look weak.

I'll lose everyone.

- Let my guys do it tonight.

Oh, God damn it.

- Bobby, it is your best move.

And that way it looks
like you are still

calling the shots.

- Look, don't do anything till
after I make a statement.

I don't want it looking
like an ambush.

- Yeah.

- You tell Derrick I need him.

Now.

- What do they know?

- They didn't exactly walk
me through their case notes.

- Well, you spent ten hours
with them.

You can tell
by the questions they asked.

- Why don't you tell me
everything that you know

and I'll confirm
if they asked me about it?

- Excuse me?

- You said this has
nothing to do

with that plaintiff
who was shot, right?

So what is it about?

- I can't.
- Why not?

Because you don't want to
or because you think I flipped?

- Jeff...

- Wanna see if I'm
wearing a wire, Jessica?

Go right ahead.

- There's no marital privilege
between us.

They can force you
to testify against me.

- Force me, but not you, right?

- You're the one
who has something to lose.

You're a partner at a law firm.

- For now.

- All right, c'mon,
what do you got?

I got the whole
press room waiting for me.

- It's fine.

- Your enthusiasm
is overwhelming.

- What do you want me to say?

- I want my press secretary

to help me craft a statement.

- Okay, for starters,
who're you talking to?

- I'm talking
to the people of Chicago.

- Not the ones you're about
to kick to the curb.

"While demonstrators have
raised important issues,

"the health and safety of those
working in the downtown area

must also be taken
into consideration"?

This is your way of
assuring the white voters

you're not a bleeding heart.

- That's my way
of telling the homeless

I heard what they want.

- Then give them hope.

You're not even mentioning
an affordable housing project.

- Yeah, because
there isn't one.

- For now, but the
Council President's willing

to push for one
when the time is right.

- I'm not promising
something I can't deliver.

- Then don't promise,
but you're not even

talking to them.

- I'm trying to stop
a riot from breaking out.

And I've got news for you.

Most of my voters don't give
a shit about the homeless.

- There it is.
You're always looking

to straddle the fence.

- And what about you?
- Me?

- Yeah.

Every day you come in here,

you take a paycheck
with one hand

and you hold your nose
with the other.

- I'm trying to be loyal to you

without falling off
a moral cliff.

- Well, don't.

Pick a fucking side.

- I just did.

- God damn it.

- I wish I could tell you.

My life would be
so much easier if I could.

But I can't do that to you.

- I guess I should thank
the FBI for...

showing me what I should've
seen all along.

- I wanted this to work.

I know you don't believe me.

- Oh, I believe you.

The sad thing is
I really do believe you.

But now it's too late.

- I'll, uh--I'll destroy
that file you gave me.

I owe you that much.

- Look around, Jess.

Look at where we are.

Why are you doing this?

Please, please don't give me
that bullshit about

atoning for your father and
reaching out to your family.

The truth, please.

That's what you owe me.

- I've only ever said
this to one other person.

And it sounds a little crazy.

But life...is this.

I like this.

- Yeah.

Well, I'm good with
life the way it is.

Take this.
Call my friend.

- Jeff...

Cooperate, Jessica.

Wear a wire.
Do whatever they ask.

It's the last thing
I'll ever ask of you.

- I remember the first time
I saw you speak in this room.

My dad said,
"Don't date some alderman.

"You're used to the good life.

Those guys never really
amount to anything."

And then...

I snuck in the back

and you were going on
about the smoking ban,

do you remember that?
- Mm-hmm.

- I think at that point
you already had the votes

but you were so passionate,
so principled.

I mean, my God, Bobby,
you were 28 years old

and you were
standing up to Daley.

And I thought,
"My family is wrong.

This guy,
this guy's going places."

- Gold digger.

And I thought things
would never change.

- Should probably talk
about how to play this.

- I don't want a divorce,
Bobby.

I just want the man
that I saw that day.

- Steph--
- I don't wanna throw away

everything that
we have built together.

Not if you are willing
to change.

- I'm not sure
that guy exists anymore.

Well, if he doesn't, then you
should sign those papers.

- Please clear out
the public space.

We need all these tents
removed from the plaza.

This is a direct order from
the Chicago Police Department.

I repeat, please clear
out the public space.

- Not going anywhere!

all:
Not going anywhere!

- I repeat, please clear
out the public space.

all:
Not going anywhere!

- Please.

Everyone....

I know you don't trust me,

but the best thing to do
is get on those buses.

- Damn right we
don't trust you.

all: Yeah!

- Yeah, well, you shouldn't.

You shouldn't trust me.

I'm a fucking politician,
right?

We say whatever
we want to get elected.

And when we're elected
we say whatever we need to say

to get re-elected.

I wouldn't trust me either.

But I want everyone in Chicago

to hear me right now.

I want
affordable public housing

for every resident in need.

If that makes me too liberal--

hell, if that makes me
a socialist,

I don't care.

Every one of us could
be where you are right now.

Every single one of us.

It's not enough
to walk by and say,

"There but for
the grace of God."

We have to do something.

So I am telling you,

if I don't get
a 21st Century Housing Project

for every homeless person
in Chicago

through the City Council
before next year's election,

vote me out.

If I fail...

I don't deserve
to be your mayor.

- Damn right.

- Vote me out.

That's the best I can do.

Now, please,
go get on those buses.

Please.

- You heard the man.

He's gonna give us
what we want.

Now let's hold him to it.
C'mon, guys, let's go.

C'mon, let's pack up these
tents and get out of here.

- Go be with your friends.

- You sure?

- Yeah, I'm sure.

- Thank you.

We need to meet,

but it can't be here.

It's about Nick.

- All right,
let's bring her in.

- Okay, let's head out.

- Keri Allen?

FBI.

We'd like to ask you
a few questions.

- Ms. Pearson?

- Everything okay, ma'am?

- I'm fine, Oscar.

Thank you.

- Home, Ms. Pearson?

- I'm gonna walk tonight.

Calumet and 61st.

- Hello?
- Is he with you?

I need to know.
- Look, I'm kind of in the--

- He's supposed to meet me
and he's not here.

- He's not with me, I swear.

- Have you spoken to him?

- Jessica, what's going on?
Where are you?

- Stay on the line.

- You're scaring me.

Where--where are you?
What's going on?

Jessica.

- Look out, lady!

How much?

- He's here.

- Where's Nick?

- Your brother's safe.

- Is that why we're out here
at midnight?

So you can blackmail me again?

- We're here because
Nick wants to confess

to killing Tommy Diehl,

and the FBI has both of us
under surveillance.

- Jesus Christ.

- I take it that's a reaction
to the surveillance,

since you knew about Diehl.

- Where is he?

- He's ready
to turn himself in, Mr. Mayor.

- God damn it.
He--he can't do that.

- Why not?

Because you're the one
who killed him?

Your brother is ready
to go to prison for you.

- I heard you.

- Well, then do
something about it.

- What do you want me to say?
For all I know,

you could be working
for the Feds right now.

- You want your men
to come and pat me down,

see if I'm wearing a wire?
We can go that way.

But you brought me in
to fix your McGann problem

and now that I know what it is,
I say we get to work.

But let me be perfectly clear.

I fix this mess for you,

I'm done being
your errand girl.

- Aaron! Aaron!

- Oy.
