You found her, then.
I forgot to call.
GGriffin
Yeah, your follow-through blows.

FNFoggy Nelson
You're sick. Don't let them discriminate against you for it. Let me do something. Let me help you.
You want to help me?
FFoggy
We can fight this.
Do you think we're friends?
FFoggy
I'm sorry?
Do you think because we have shared a table a handful of times in court that you have the right to involve yourself in my life? My shit? A partner? Your goddamn boss?
FFoggy
I didn't mean...
You cannot help me. You cannot do anything but your job. So, um, exercise some goddamn discretion and bury your head in the sand, because that's where it belongs, instead of up my ass.
FFoggy
You're gonna need people. No one goes through something like this alone.
Well, allow me to be the first to try.
How did you know he was an ex-con?
People don't usually panic at the sight of cops unless they've ridden in the back of a cruiser.
So our landlord randomly replaces Alfredo with this guy?
Who's Alfredo?
The old super. He was good people. His wife used to make empanadas on Sundays. Always passed them around the building. I guess not to you.
Rare teaching moment, Malcolm: If the old super was such a gem, empanadas for days, but he still got canned...
Oscar's got something on our landlord.
Pay him a visit and find out. And be nice. The nicer, the better. Eugene can be a dick.
I didn't know that you were on parole when I brought the cops here, all right? I'm not an asshole.
No? What kind of person takes advantage of a little kid's fantasies to get inside someone's apartment?
I figured he'd be asleep.
That's your excuse? That kid means everything to me, okay? He's my reason for being. Okay, do you have anyone that makes you feel like that? Or have they all run away from you? [closes and locks door]
You can just transfer any calls to my cell or text me if...
SSecretary
Or e-mail or fax or send a pigeon. I got it.
I'm not gonna compete with a freak show.
Oh, God. You got beat by a girl. Deal with it.
She's not a girl. She's an aberration.
Makes you feel better about yourself, doesn't it? Calling her names. Less than. Other. Makes you feel superior to her. Well, you're not.
[shows a picture] We're looking for this woman. Has she come in here?
SSally
My clients value their privacy.
[takes out $100] For the wigs I tore up.
SSally
This wouldn't cover synthetic. [Trish gives her another $100] She comes in alone, no name and pays cash. Poor dear.
Why poor dear?
SSally
She lost all her hair. Chemo, I imagine. Cancer and drag queens are half my business these days.
Anything else? [trades looks and gives Sally another $100]
SSally
No, that's all.
Now I remember why I bit her.
You wanna help people. So that's why you're working with Jones, hoping maybe she's a hero. She's not.
No, I work with Jessica 'cause she's a damn good PI.
Good at the dirty work, maybe. But at my shop, "altruism" isn't a bad word.
Yeah, I'm sure you guys are a bunch of saints.
We just believe that a man can serve himself, or a man can serve humanity.
Okay, you did not just quote my father to me.
I did, from his latest article.
I've heard a lot about you. All of it nauseating.
MMax
Who's this?
Looks like your face got in the way of someone's fist. Want a replay?
What did I do now? Read your mail? Kill your cat?
You saved Vido's life. He told me. I can't pay you back for that. Ever. But I'm tearing up the eviction notice, and I wanted to say thank you. [places bottle of alcohol on the floor] Here. I was an asshole. I'm just scared of losing my son. I'm sorry.
Find out everything she knows about her former employers and about her coworker who suddenly left the company.
Got it. What else?
Everything else. At least until I can get out of this hellhole.
When's that gonna be?
Depends on if I can get through this next part without losing my shit.
You didn't do the crime. Truth matters.
Not if nobody wants to believe it. [sighs] You're in charge of Alias. Don't mess it up.
ECDetective Eddy Costa
[hands Jessica a card]Hey, listen, just in case you come up with anything else for us...
One show-and-tell doesn't make us partners.
You want to go it alone, that's your call. But there's a lot of people on the force that wanna see you locked up.
And you're the only white hat in a sea of black hats.
Not the only one. There's a few of us here who remember what Kilgrave did in this precinct. I had nightmares of holding my own gun to my head. The feeling of my finger on the trigger.
I recommend hypnosis.
I didn't need that, because, uh the dreams stopped the day you took that asshole out.
Pryce, you are embarrassing yourself.
You're the embarrassment, Jeri. Helping her out? Huh? What was it, bribery? Perjury? I'll find out.
Hey. Get your head out of your ass, Cheng.
Or what? What are you gonna do, huh? Take me out, too? I've seen you in action. I've seen that look in your eye. You're a killer.
Not today, I'm not. Today, I'm free. Do you know why? No, 'cause you're a shitty investigator. So go talk to the cops, go steal someone else's cases. You know what? Go beat off in the corner, because I don't give a dead moose's last shit. I'm gonna find the actual killer.
You get Inez to Jeri Hogarth, at this address. Tell her you're my associate.
Wait, did you just promote me?
Maybe.
[chuckles] Does it come with a raise?
No. Get going.
Whatever you say, associate. [laughs]
I'm instantly regretting this.
DWDorothy Walker
Pats, are you here? I just spoke with Griffin. Should've known you'd find some way to mess this up.
I didn't mess anything up, Mother. This is what I want.
You don't know what you want. You're a different person on drugs.
I'm stone cold sober.
Call him. Maybe he'll take you back if you plead insanity.
[sighs] I don't want him back. I knew it as soon as I got to the roof.
That proposal was breathtaking.
It was heartbreaking. Because the moment I figured out what it was, that it wasn't a meeting with ZCN, all I could feel was disappointment.
Oh, Jesus.
That's why I said no.
Listen, baby, you gotta listen to me. You are making a huge mistake.
I don't want to be with Griffin. I want to be him. I want to do what he does. And that's not love, and it's not fair to either one of us.
You know what I see? I see a spoiled, arrogant little girl.
I'm arrogant?
After everything I went through with your father
Oh, God.
And you finally find a good man, a goddamn hero...
Don't you dare bring Dad into this!
Why not? He's the reason you always dated losers.
That is bullshit.
And when you finally find a winner, you crawl back to Max and blow him for some story. [Trish slaps her]
