S1 E15Unfinished Business

I'm sorry, what century is this? All these old white men trying to control women's bodies? I mean, how far off are we from The Handmaid's Tale?

You grew up taking these rights for granted. My mother, there was a time when she considered abortion, and her only option was back-alley. The bottom line is, if you have enough money, there's always a way, but it's these poor women, these girls in some states, they're gonna see deaths. That's where this is going.

They think that's what we're going back to.

So we're taking on Ohio?

Oh, it's more like Ohio is taking on us, and, by the way, there's an arrest warrant for you too.

I'm flattered.

The charge is conspiracy to commit murder if she has an abortion, and they're serious.

So am I. I'm a deacon at my church. I believe in the sanctity of life, but a 13-year-old girl forced to carry her rapist's baby? They want a fight, they're gonna get it.

You guys are still here?

Two minutes to midnight and counting.

At Vice, we never had a Friday night this quiet.

Oh...

What?

I know you're new and all, but we don't say the "Q"-word.

[phone rings]

You jinxed it. That's your call.

Chloe's ID, on a scale of one to shaky?

Uh, well, she... she knew his face from her HailMe app.

So she could've been influenced.

Oh, you think? Chloe was assaulted in that car.

Yeah, maybe, or maybe it was another car, but now I gotta keep Mr. Sayeed in holding for a crime that he probably didn't commit because if I let him go, and Ms. Hadid finds out, I'm a dead man walking.

Oh, okay. You made that bed, you can lie in it.

Excuse me?

What did you think would happen when you moved over to that place? Because it it's all about politics, which is not your strong suit.

I'm just doing my job. I'm not paying attention to that.

Are you, because 'cause it seems like you're more worried about your boss than you are about Chloe.

Actually, what I'm more worried about is the DV with a battered wife who's not cooperating. I'm worried about the trans girl who was assaulted by a corporate lawyer in a case that we're never gonna make.

We're not, not with that attitude. And you know what? Everyone is worried. We're all nervous. We're swamped. We're drowning because you left.

Oh, okay, so that's what this is about? That I left? I had to go. It was my shot.

Oh, come on! I would be fine if you were right here beside me! You said you're my partner. You walked out on me.

You said that you were happy for me.

And you believed me? How stupid are you?

Hey guys, I'm on the phone with the Deputy Chief, so whatever is going on between you...

RSRollins and Sonny

Nothing's going on.

Get over it. Now.

DDavies

There is no Venn Diagram where someone like that and I would intersect.

Yeah, says the guy in a skirt and a furry pouch.

How you doing, Lakira?

LLakira

I look in the mirror, it hurts.

Give it some time. You'll be pretty as ever.

LLakira

I wish I had me a little hideaway.

Let me help. I could put you in touch with some people, get you off the street.

LLakira

I could hole up there for a while, just me and my friends.

Listen, Lakira, we arrested him, but I'm gonna need you to come back down to the courthouse to speak to the ADA.

LLakira

I don't know. Every day I tell myself, "You're a beautiful human, Lakira, even though your family says it ain't so. Even though people stare at you like you're some kind of puzzle they don't want to put together." And now you want me to stand in front of a bunch of strangers, and talk about being raped with a goddamn flashlight?

I get it, but it won't just be strangers. I'll be there. Look, you decide what you can do, okay? Just know that I think you're one of the strongest people I've ever known.

LLakira

Okay, but I'm doing it for you. I'm not expecting no fairy tale ending.

LLakira

You know what my moms used to say?

No. Why don't you tell me?

LLakira

She said there's two types of people in this world: the ones that turn gold into garbage and the ones that turn garbage into gold.

Is that what you think you did?

LLakira

[as she shows off her red fur coat] She's pretty, isn't she? I got it for my moms. I got rent money for her too. Maybe she'll finally let me move back home. Turning vultures into angels, Kit Kat. You know me.

[about Tamin] Kat doesn't miss a trick. Somebody must've stolen her lunch money once.

Or tried to.

MMonte

Carisi, huh? You related to Tony "No Toes" Carisi up on Tower Hill?

My mother says all Carisis are related.

D.A. Keane won't let this go?

No, it was worse. He had no idea what I was asking him to do.

What does that mean?

For years, Keane's deputies have covered up the fact that he suffered from dementia.

How bad is it? I mean, good days, bad days...?

He thought Carlos Hernandez played first base for the '86 Mets, so...

[Carlos won't tell a jury where he was the night of the murders for fear of revealing that he's gay]

Carlos, a lot of people have come out of the closet since then. Times have changed.

CCarlos

Not in here. In here, out of the closet means into a casket. Other inmates finds out I'm gay, the gangs'll turn me into a Maytag - washing socks, spit-shinin'...

Yeah, we get it.

Keane signed the vacate order.

He did? That's great! How'd you get him to do that?

He may have thought that he was graciously signing a letter of recommendation for my law school application.

OK, I didn't hear that, and you didn't say that, but thank you.

Welcome to Queens. Let's go do this before the ink dries or any his deputies find out.

Ms. Lee, you're in a lot of trouble.

EEvelyn

Trouble? We both know your UCs can't unzip, so your case is gonna go south. I call my legal aid lawyer, make bail, be back in business by the weekend. [smirks] You know, you look like you're under a lot of stress. You need a massage. Come by. On the house.

If you testify against Theo, and he testifies against the owners, we can put them all away.

MMMei Mei

That is a good dream, Miss Amanda. But it is not a "come true" dream.
