- You're not gonna call him, are you?

I already did.

Alice.

Hey, this isn't a game.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

And that would be him.

Yeah. Don't be mad.

I gotta...

So you must think

I'm really gonna make you look bad.

I don't care what you make me look like,

I want you to go on a date with me.

[WHISPERING]

Do not go on a date with him.

ALICE [OVER SPEAKERPHONE]: Can't go out

on a date until the story comes out.

- Okay, fine. When does it print?

- Wednesday.

All right. How about Thursday night?

Yeah.

Thursday night sounds amazing.

- Perfect.

- Okay.

Hey, you're being ridiculous,

he's a really nice guy.

MAN:

I didn't ask for this, you know?

It wasn't like I woke up this morning

and said:

"Today, I will go out and have an affair."

I mean, Ali just never understood me,

you know?

This place can be the land of the lost...

...where you can go to forget,

or to be forgotten.

The problem is that...

...while you can be forgotten...

...you can never forget.

I didn't sign up for a baby.

Do me a favor.

Can you sign this?

Is this for your wife or your girlfriend?

Go home to your family.

You could've signed that, you know.

- I could do a lot of things.

- And yet...

...you don't.

Why is that?

I don't know.

Isolation feels good when we're hurting.

Pain is an intimate emotion...

... one you don't wanna share

or even expose.

Reach out.

If we don't...

...we are lost to our own madness.

You look tired.

Sleep is important.

It keeps us focused.

You're not real.

How many of those you taking?

An acute manifestation of my subconscious

has transferred into hallucination.

[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

Mexico.

A little far off of our jurisdiction,

don't you think?

It's all right here.

The yacht's in her name and he's living

on it. Look at the phone records.

They never spoke until a month

before her disappearance.

Now he's living on her yacht.

She is not dead.

So she was frozen.

That is not a homicide.

Look, if we can prove that Ortus is taking

money from one of Vita's companies...

...then we got a conspiracy to your fraud.

We get Ortus, we find Angelica.

That's huge.

Just need a search warrant.

We'll take it to the DA's office.

If there's this much money involved,

there's a conspiracy.

Let's take a look at the brother.

He's got a motive.

You're the boss.

Until you become DA...

...and then you'll be too big

for us little people.

Don't hold your breath.

You got my vote.

Elizabeth, you're too good to me.

- There is one thing.

- You know what? Save it.

Got my parents' anniversary tonight,

gotta pick up Alice at 7.

It's about Alice.

You know what? Don't tell me.

You're destined to be DA,

you know that.
