Pearson

Previously, on "Pearson"...

My mom was picked up by ICE last night.

- Did you tell Jessica? - I can't be a problem to her.

Yoli, this is your mom.

All those people at the apartment

forced out of their homes...

I was too guilty to tell them that I'm staying here.

I wish I could go to that conference with you next week.

What, you're not going?

Come with me.

People will wonder why I'm there.

What's going on, Nicky? It didn't go as planned.

He's dead.

He's got you on tape, Nick!

Aah!

I have to go get Ickaris for McGann.

She's right. He has you.

- You know I owe him. - If he can do this,

it's more than owing... What are you into, Bobby?

You killed Tommy Diehl for McGann, didn't you?

Running isn't going to solve the problem.

Let me help you.

I got conned by the immigration lawyer.

What do you mean "conned"?

He just took my money, and he never showed.

Either you tell Jessica, or I will.

When I was a waitress after college,

I made sure to put a few dollars in a jar

after every shift,

no matter how much I made.

It took me so many shifts to get that money.

He just took it.

I'm so stupid.

It's not your fault.

And I'll make sure you get that money back.

It's not even about the money.

I'm so mad at myself.

I was so wrapped up in my own life

that I didn't even remember she was going into ICE.

And I always remember.

She hugged me so tight,

and I didn't even pick up on it.

You couldn't have done anything.

She was going in anyway.

I could have told her that the climate's different now.

I could have told her that they're looking for reasons

to throw people out of this country.

And I'm sure she knew that.

Yoli...

you knowing she was going in

would not have prevented her from being detained.

I know.

Am I that much of a monster that you couldn't tell me?

No.

I've just been messing up so much since I got here,

and...

I didn't...

You didn't want to be the source of any more drama.

Yeah.

And now look.

First of all, you haven't been messing up.

You've been a godsend.

And second, this isn't drama, Yoli.

This is life.

And right now you need someone who's on your side.

I need someone to bring my mom home.

Can you do that?

I can't make any promises,

but the first thing we're gonna do is find you a real lawyer.

- Derrick Mayes. - Hey, Derrick.

It's Stephanie Novak.

Mrs. Novak, how are you?

I'm well. Hey, how's your mom?

She's still talking

about that shepherd's pie recipe you sent her.

Well, give her my regards.

Um, listen, Bobby left in such a hurry.

I was thinking, that speech on health care...

It's really important to him.

Yeah, he actually wrote that one himself.

It was pretty good, I hate to say.

- He can write when he has to. - Yeah, don't tell him that.

I don't want to lose the little job security I have.

Don't worry, you're not going anywhere.

So is someone going to be

giving the speech in Bobby's place?

And please, God, don't say Lloyd.

I mean, he is the sweetest man,

but he will have people sleeping

by the second paragraph.

I'm not sure what the plan is on that,

but I can check in with Keri, since she's the one going.

Keri's going?

Uh, when was that decided?

A few weeks ago, I think. I'm not really sure.

Are you there?

Sorry. Yeah, I'm... I'm still here.

- Should I have her call you? - No, that won't be necessary.

I'm sure that Miss Allen

has everything under control.

Um...

thank you so much, Derrick.

No problem.

Oh, Bobby.

- You Nick? - You got what I asked for?

Brand-new .38.

You got the money?

I was never here.

Whatever it is, save it.

I'm already late for the airport.

- Bobby's not going. - I know.

You know? When'd you find out?

Last night.

He's, uh, going to Seattle to wrap up the Ickaris deal.

Yeah, that's what he said to me, and I didn't buy it then.

Where is the Wyatt brief?

Somebody has to file this while I'm gone.

Come on, Keri, the press is gonna ask

why he's skipping the conference

to wrap up a deal he just said he wrapped up.

- I need something. - What do you want me to say?

You were right? You were right.

What is that supposed to mean?

It means that the CEO

thinks that Bobby stole all the glory,

and now he's pissed because we went public without him,

so they're trying to squeeze us on the details.

Might say I told you so, but I guess you just did.

Gloat much?

By the way, I just spoke with Stephanie Novak.

She's going with you.

- Where? - Los Angeles.

She said she's feeling good, and she wants to go.

I thought you liked her.

- I do. - Okay. Then...

Yeah, great. Yeah, thanks for the heads-up.

Aha. I see you still have your New York number.

Don't get any ideas.

I'm happy where I am.

- Did you get my message? - Yeah, I did.

It turns out my friend Ivan from Harvard

is the top immigration guy at Sidley.

- And? - He won't take it.

Well, maybe Sidley's too big for this.

Well, that's the thing.

He checked with three boutique firms,

and they all say the same thing... it's a loser.

They haven't even met the woman.

He said they don't have to.

Unless she's seeking asylum or has some great story

to bring attention to the firm,

it's just not worth their time, Jessica.

Damn it.

I thought you were out of the pro bono business

since you took the job with the mayor.

I am. This is for my new assistant.

Her mother's undocumented.

You're a good woman, Jessica Pearson.

- Uh-huh. - I'm serious.

You always treated me like family no matter what I did.

I just hope this young woman realizes

how lucky she has it.

Right now she's not very lucky at all.

But thank you, Louis.

- You're a good man. - I miss you.

- I miss you, too. - You do?

Can you just repeat that so I can record it

- and play it back for Harvey? - Losing you.

I said, can you just... Can you just repeat it

so I can play it... Here, go ahead.

What... Jessica, what'd you say? Jessica, what'd you say?

"I said I miss you, Louis."

All right, thanks, Jess.

Bye, Louis.

Have you seen Keri?

It's a legal question, and it's time-sensitive.

She's out.

- Is this about Yoli's mother? - So you know.

I tried to convince her to tell you,

but she kept saying that she got this,

even after that scumbag lawyer ripped her off.

Well, here's your chance to help.

Give it to me.

Find a way to get her story in the press.

Shit, that's not exactly what I had...

If it can happen to a Dreamer

working at City Hall, it can happen to anyone.

Let's see a judge try and deport her

while the whole city's watching.

I already went behind Bobby's back once.

- I can't do that again. - No, I'll take the heat

- from the mayor. - No, it's not about me.

If it gets out that the mayor's office

is playing favorites in an immigration case,

my credibility, Bobby's credibility...

It falls to zero.

Look, there's nothing more I want to do than help Yoli,
