Episode Report Card Jacob Clifton: A+ | 63 USERS: A YOU GRADE IT An Airbag Saved My Life

Cary: "But she's Robyn Burdine! And what if we need to investigate things?"
Carey: "We don't seem to be investigating much lately, though. Except like in every episode, but other than that how helpful has she been?"
Cary: "I'll talk to her, but not until Friday."
She walks away from this eave she just dropped and it seems like maybe that's it, lights out for the old girl. She could live in a car, or a cave, or live in a cage or glass box in the corner of a strange man's loft in exchange for her rent. She could live under a Chinese restaurant, or be the night watchman at a very fancy stable, or live atop a flag pole like they did in the old days when they felt strongly about things. All of that would make sense. Much stranger to think about her having feelings, or like... doing laundry.
PROSECUTORIAL AGITATION
Tomas: "I mean, stop yelling at me. I've lived here for nine years, the shop pays taxes..."
Guy: "But you're undocumented! And you let Lalo Hierra use your shop to meet with gangsters. That means you heard all kinds of things! Do you wanna be deported?"
Alicia: "Hi there. Get out of this room."
Guy: "What? Who are you?"
Alicia: "This man's lawyer. Get out of this room, son."
Guy: "Mr. Ruiz, you can have a lawyer present but I must warn you..."
Alicia: "You should warn me, because I'm his lawyer, and also get the fuck out of this room, okay?"
Guy: "Any delay in signing this snitch visa..."
Alicia: "You need him more than he needs you. What's your name, little fella?"
AUSA Dolan: "AUSA Dolan."
Alicia: "GTFO so I don't have to show you the back of my hand, AUSA Dolan."
But Tomas is totally taking it either way, because he can't leave his wife and two kids, which is a worse certainty than the possibility of being murdered horribly.
Dolan: "Yeah obviously he'll do it, there was no question. So why the strong-arm?"
Alicia: "You so why the strong-arm. Give us 24-hour protection for him and the family, and immunity for them from deportation."
Dolan: "I would have promised him all of that!"
Alicia: "Exactly, but now you're going to actually put it in the visa, and we can come testify whenever you want. Cool?"
What Lalo likes to do is, he likes to cut off your head and hang you from a bridge. Maybe a dozen at a time? It's hard for me to imagine what one person could do to me that I would think that was a reasonable thing to do in return, but a dozen people? I can't think of a dozen people in my lifetime that have made me want to raise my voice, much less cut off their head and hang them from a bridge. That's like two people max.
