[At the courthouse, Jimmy is confronted by the district attorney who prosecuted Lalo during his bail hearing]
I've been calling you for two days.
Oh, my girl's out sick. What can I do you for?
Tomorrow morning, 10 A.M.
Brunch? But just you and me, right? [points at Detective Roberts] I mean, won't the big fella here feel like a third wheel?
You and I are meeting Parson in chambers. I am asking for an emergency hearing to alter the terms of De Guzman's release.
Sounds like a blast. Unfortunately, I'm booked solid.
I checked your client's place of residence. The address he gave, it's a Dairy Queen in Altamonte. The family that showed at the bail hearing can't be located. No driver's license, no tax rolls, no school records. Nothing. The fact is, there isn't a single Elizabeth McKinnon under the age of 73 living in New Mexico.
Well, this is–this is surprising.
Your client has disappeared, and I'm not waiting six weeks to start looking for him.
Hey, my guy put up seven million in bail. You think he's just gonna walk away from that?
Who comes up with seven million bucks in cash?
You know what I think? I think the family was fake. [to Jimmy] And I think you knew it the whole time.
Okay, hold up. Just get real for a second. The hearing didn't go your way, and now you're trying for a do-over? You say my guy ran, I say he's got seven million reasons for showing up when he's legally required to do so. So, no, I won't be... uh, due process window dressing at any crash meeting with Parson. And if you try throwing any of this crap around in front of the judge without my presence, here's an accusation: Prosecutorial misconduct. Career-ending prosecutorial misconduct!
None of that changes the fact the guy's not who he said he was.
No, no, no! Hold on! You guys got caught with your pants around your ankles, and somehow that's on me?! I don't think so! [points at ADA Khalil] You got two dozen lawyers up there! You got investigators—you got the whole damn police force—and it's my fault that you can't keep track of Lalo?! That is not my job!
Lalo? Who's Lalo?
What?! [blinks hard] What did I say... I meant De Guzman. I have more than one client! [chuckles] So... [clears throat] I will see you at the preliminary in six weeks as scheduled. Until then, I have clients who need me.
[Jimmy walks into an empty courtroom and sits down mulling over his slip-up]
