What the hell? Again?
You can't remember what happened last week;
now you want us to remind you?
Lay off the vape, all right?
Shit'll fuck you up.
Is Derek here?
- Derek is dead. - [Carl] The death benefit.
When someone dies in the military,
the family gets, like, 100,000 bucks.
I'm willing to give you 1/3 of the benefit.
In return, I want full custody of Franny.
[Veronica] Oh, hell.
I gotta miss my meeting with Dr. Robinson.
George is coming to my place this weekend for a cookout.
A ton of black doctors will be there.
Come. It'll be good for business.
Hey, you want to hang out during my lunch break?
I gotta meet my parole officer.
Kibble, JoJo,
got a new friend for ya!
What's the deal with Paula?
The deal is, you're fucked.
I'm Sarah.
- What brings you to church? - AA.
- You? - NMAA.
Basically a bunch of new moms in sweat pants
trying not to lose our shit.
Coach molested Kenny?
[Mas] A lawyer's putting together
a class-action suit against the city,
says we could each get 10 grand.
You sure you weren't molested?
I'd remember if he touched me.
I didn't sign on to raise your children, Frank.
Well, the joke's on you. They're my son Carl's.
[Frank] I'll give you 30 and 15.
40 and 5.
[Anne] Got my third job with my family business.
[Carl] You know when I said you could stay here?
I didn't mean your entire family.
[Anne] We thought you meant the plural you, "ustedes."
That's why Spanish is better.

Where's Franny?
I can't wait to see her.
Derek loved her so much.
Cut the bullshit, Pepa.
Derek didn't give two shits about Franny,
- and neither do you. - What?
I can't wait to see how she's grown up.
I mean, with a genius like you for a mother,
I'm sure she'll be able to read by the time she's 15.
I know what you're doing.
What am I doing?
You think I'd rather lose my fair share
of Derek's death benefit than let you have Franny.
Joke's on you, bitch.
Franny will be there tomorrow on time as scheduled.
And, as per our agreement,
I want my check posthaste.
And I'll want Franny to call me "Mom."
Hey.
Where you think you're going?
Just taking the infirmary biowaste trash
to the truck, like always.
[guard] Not today.
Budget crunch. Biowaste truck service
and a whole bunch of other shit cancelled
immediately.
So what you want me to do with all this medical waste then?
This shit deadly, boss.
Even the AIDS in this thing got AIDS.
Just dump it in the incinerator.
Call it a day.
- Incinerator? - [guard] Yep.
Burn all that shit up.
I'll escort you over there.

V, I think I hit the pedophile motherlode.
It's basically a how-to list,
step-by-step instructions.
You taking on a new hobby I should know about?
What? No, no, no.
This is for Coach Dickey's kid-diddling lawsuit.
I got a meeting with the lawyer,
and if I can convince her to have me join the case, boom!
We'll be cashing fat settlement checks
like the rest of the team.
Fake it till you make it, baby.
First he gained my confidence.
Then he touched my knee.
And finally, he tickled my dick.
I don't know if I should say "dick" or "penis."
I don't know.
Pears and cranberries?
What are you making?
Potato salad.
- You sure? - Yes.
This is for the sophisticated palates
of Chicago's most esteemed doctors,
not some hillbilly who thinks that Vienna sausages
and saltines is an acceptable dinner for children.
I put Arby's sauce on it. The girls loved it.
Will you get out of my kitchen? I need to focus.
I don't wanna fuck up these conversions.
goop recipes are all in grams and milliliters and shit.
I'm a good girl.
Yeah, I know.
'Cause your mama's done a very good job
teaching you right from wrong.
But tomorrow, I need you to be a very bad girl
when we go to that mean ol' witch Pepa's house, okay?
You could get a big knifey
and you could poke the puppy with it
till it goes "ouchie" and bleeds,
or you could take a big old poopy on her bed, hmm?
I'm a good girl.
Come on, Franny, you gotta work with me.
I'm a good girl.
Know anywhere I could get a redheaded toddler for rent?
Well, if you attended the local ginger club meetings
like I asked you to,
you'd know a dozen redheaded toddlers by now.
I'm serious, Ian.
I negotiated Pepa down to partial custody
in exchange for some of Derek's death benefit,
but I can't stomach the thought of that bitch
having one second alone with Franny.
So you wanna pass off a fake Franny?
Preferably one horrible enough
that she'll drop the custody fight altogether.
But apparently I've raised a great kid.
She'll totally wanna keep her.
[Ian] Yeah, never gonna happen.
Pepa'll know it's not her.
People are super racist against redheads.
They think we all look alike.
Frank calls me "Ian," like, twice a week.
Okay. Uh, well,
you can try the Girls & Boys Club
or a group home.
Those kids are pretty screwed up.
Anyway, I gotta get to work.
Since when do you have a job?
Well, it's less of a job than a Medicare scam
I'm being forced into by my corrupt parole officer.
Gay Jesus to insurance fraud?
Yeah. Prison really reformed me.
See you guys.
Inmate Milkovich.
Gotta hand it to you.
One hell of an escape plan.
Hey, imagine if you could actually manage a budget, huh?
I'd be home right now knocking back a cold one.
The sheer fortitude to climb into medical biowaste.
You know, we've had cases of the plague in here,
actual medieval Black Death,
and nine strains of flesh-eating bacteria
in the C block showers too.
What can I say? Desperate times.
What kind of dumbass would go to those lengths to escape
when they're already free?
Yeah, that's right, free.
Your cooperation with the prosecution
in the El Chapo case,
that got your name jumped
right to the top of the release list.
Guess that, uh,
makes us all done here, huh?
Heard through the grapevine
that the Calderón cartel's
excited to welcome you back to the world.
As you see, we are well prepared
to welcome a baby into our home.
This is your home?
Gotta say, I was expecting something
a little more rustic.
We live in Minneapolis, Mr. Gallagher.
God has provided us with everything
except for the blessing of a child.
When can we see the baby again?
Well, there's still the issue
of the outstanding application fee.
$500.
Thank you.
Well, I'm very excited to continue the adoption process.
Unfortunately, it might take a little bit longer.
There are other applicants,
so due diligence on my part is a must.
In order to expedite things,
it'd be very helpful to have a room on site.
We can get you a room.
[Frank] A suite would be best.
And let's leave the tab open,
in case the baby wants some room service.

But lucky for all of you, I almost passed

I'm--I'm not hooking up with anyone.

- No. - [laughs]

Um, she's divorced, I think.

She doesn't even understand what I'm saying,
but she gets it.
Because women know.

Look, Lip, you don't have to lie to protect me.
Okay, you don't have to protect me at all.
You know, we can co-parent and still do our own thing.

Excuse me, little girl.

See, you can't honestly think you'll be able

[man] We just found her like this.
Do you know if she's having contractions?
- [man] I don't know. - [Ian] You don't know?
Grab a gurney. Help me load her up.

Okay, but you're gonna take the heat from Paula
on this one alone.
[Lynn] I can't imagine how you must feel,
living with this trauma for all these years.
Yes, it's been quite difficult.
Well, I'm eager to get you the compensation you deserve.
I don't wanna get your hopes up
because it's just a coach.
Now, if we were talking about a priest in the church
or a bishop
or the Holy Grail, a cardinal...
[chuckles] Forget about it.
Six figures, guaranteed.
As it stands, we should be able to get you
just north of rapey uncle money.
It's not much but hopefully enough
to ease the pain a little.
So whenever you're ready,
why don't you tell me about your time
with Coach Lou Dickey?
Well, it wasn't that great,
I can tell you that much.
I came off the bench,
and I had starter-level talent, for sure.
And when I would play the game, I played center,
but I always saw myself
- more of a stretch four-- - Sorry.
Uh, maybe I wasn't clear.
I meant can you tell me about the abuse you endured?
Right. Right. Yeah, of course.
The no-no touch. Sure.
First, he gained my trust.
He filled my familial needs.
He gauged the level of threat.
And then he--
Uh... He, um...
[sobs]
I'm sorry.
It's just that--
I just--
[sobs]
Excuse me.
[sighs]
And then he finally tickled my--
vigorously molested my genitals.
I mean, he got all the way up in there.
You know what I mean?
[sighs]
That's...
a start.
But for this to work and for you to be added to the case,
we need details,
concrete facts,
dates, times, specific acts of molestation
in your own words.
[sobbing]
But I had to have an emergency C-section
to give birth to his son.
And while I'm in the hospital, fighting for my life,
he's out there being a playa.

Oh, my God, and the arm squeeze!
This? Hmm?
That means "I'm open for business"
in any language, right?

acting like he doesn't even notice it,
like I'm just some dumb bitch in his new-mom harem
that he can string along 'cause I'm gonna believe every word
that comes out of his pouty little mouth.
You think I should go out, don't you,

Yeah.
How can you just sell someone?
What exactly do you think you're doing
with your basketball buddy Todd?
College recruiters are gonna put literal bids on him.
He turns pro, who's he work for?
Owners.
Bought and sold, my friend.
Bought and sold.
But this is a baby.
There's no room for sentiment in business.
Remember that.
When you negotiate with feelings, you lose.
And how about we stop talking about this as a sale?
That debases it.
It's more about opportunity.
Opportunity?
Opportunities this kid would never have
in the Gallagher household
on the South Side of Chicago.
I wish I could have offered
this kind of opportunity to all my children.
If I could have, I would have sold you.
That's problematic.
I resent the implication.
I'll have you know I tried to sell Debbie too
but nobody wanted a baby with colic.
Then how come it takes this long?
Why can't we just sell it and get something to eat?
It's a marathon, Liam,
not a sprint.
In an "adoption" or an "opportunity"
or a "straight-up baby sale," whatever you call it,
it's still about the bottom line.
That's them. Look alive.
[Liam] They seem kinda old.
[Frank] A loving parent's heart knows no age,
and Google says they're loaded.
They make the heads for Barbie dolls.
So what's the plan?
Get 'em to bid against the Africans, sell high.
But this price, though.
Covered by Medicaid.
A lot of my patients are working-class people,
nonunion manual labor, service industry,
too rich for Medicaid but too poor for good insurance.
They'd have to eat a lot of this cost out of pocket.

No, not yet, not that i'm aware of.

What's the plan this time?
I don't have one.
I don't have it all figured out.
You guys do.
[speaking Spanish]
You're in a place where everybody hates you.
You're stuck behind enemy lines.
[speaking Spanish]
You built a business.
You stuck together.
When I look at you guys, I think that if my family had
half the determination and work ethic of the Gonzalezes,
maybe my dad wouldn't just abuse opiates.
Maybe my dad would have invented opiates.
What I'm trying to say is:
whatever you've done to get you this far,
dig deep and do it one last time.
[man] Why we need meat for, huh?
Three things young, educated white Americans love:
to date women with bodies like little boys, to denounce God,
and to eat meals with no meat.
You seen many young, educated white Americans
on the South Side of Chicago?
Where's the closest bougie organic health food store?
You'd think the biggest pop star in the world
could sniff any butthole that he wanted.
Like, he'd just call his manager and say,
"Send up a wide variety of buttholes.
I'm in the mood for some sniffing."
But he just wanted to sniff mine.
Jesus Christ, Kev.
Enough of this shit.
Put the Sox game on.
[Kermit] Used to love the guy's music back in the '80s.
Who woulda known he was into kids?
Everyone. Literally everyone knew.
[Kev] Would you excuse me, Tommy?
I'm trying to listen.
On that world tour back in '91,
he spent half his time onstage
and half his time with his nose between my cheeks,
my butt cheeks.

Oh, three generations of Gallagher men.
How 'bout that? Amazing.
There's nothing better than this.
Mr. Gallagher,
we've enjoyed the process so far.
But we fear we spent more time with you
than with the baby.
Perhaps if we had a private visit today
we may better gauge our chemistry.
Oh, no, no. I don't think so.
It is customary.
[Frank] But this is a very special little boy,
and as his grandfather, it's my duty--
What my dad is trying to say is,
he doesn't know what to do with himself
if he's not caring for his grandson.
That's not really what I was--
Maybe we can watch a movie or something to pass the time?
Come on, Dad.
Um...
And that's when coach invited me
on a publicity tour for the team.
Have you ever traveled with a powerful man?
It's intoxicating,
confusing.
A thousand eyes on him, his eyes only on you.
One night, backstage in his dressing room,
he put on a single sequined glove.
I can't even tell you
what he did with the other hand.
All I'm saying, knife and a fork.
Simple, effective, the right men for the job.
Ever try to eat a steak with chopsticks?
Because it can't be done.

But chopsticks?
Huge swing and a miss.

Maybe we should go check on the baby.
He's fine, Frank.
You don't know that for sure.
Nobody does.
Maybe we should keep him.
You need to keep it together, man.
Hey, I've got it together, my friend.

Come again?
The Zhengs are willing to pay $100,000 U.S. cash,
if they can have the baby now and, most importantly,
no additional contact with Mr. Gallagher
ever again
forever.
Deal.
Okay, girls, pay attention. This is important.
Ready?

To the right. And yes, yes, yes.

Aww. Get up, get up, get up.
We gotta do this. You ready?
You shouldn't have jumped at the offer so quick.
This is a mistake.
So I should have waited until
you screwed up the deal entirely?
I just needed more time is all,
which would have had the added benefit
of allowing us to milk these families
for all they're worth.

Yeah, I remember.
