What are you doing about this manifesto?
"Why the women engineers at Speckulate aren't equal to the men"?
The email came from Raj.
So you have feelings for me.
But I have a boyfriend who I really love.
-Please. I can explain. -I'm sure you can.
You're the best con artist I know.
How would you like to audition for the Comedy Be
TV Diversity program?
And Alice, what about you?
Maybe we can do it again sometime.
I really need to be single for a while.
So the city attorney doesn't want this trial.
-I think you call their bluff. -What, you think doing time
is some type of badge of honor or something?
-How about a little respect? -Yo, you don't deserve my respect.
You don't need my approval to do kids' parties with Isabella.
You're an amazing guy, okay?
Sometimes, uh, my chest gets tight.
Have you ever talked to anyone about anxiety?
I don't think I'm gonna stay the night tonight.
I kind of feel like I need to be alone.
God bless you!
-Hands! Let me see your hands! -No, no!
No, no, no, he's not violent!
At the last minute, they asked me to step in
on this negotiation today.

to voluntarily move out of their homes.
This is a whole lot better than what they're gonna get.

How long have you known they're planning to build
a mental health jail on the South Solano apartment site?
That's just one of the proposals on the table, along with the condos.
The Trap is a place where both the buyer and the seller
were caught with their fists in the jar.
Easy entries, impossible exits.
We've done an internal investigation into the source
of the recent manifesto that was sent to the company Slack.
And Raj, you're fired.
What? I didn't do it.
-I didn't do anything. -You need to leave the building now.
Are you kidding me?
Is this a joke?
This is bullshit! I...
Please leave that here. We'll have your property sent to you
once it's wiped clean of all Speckulate work product.
Is this for real?
-No way. -Whoa.
Can we talk about why you're going through the files in my briefcase?
I'm sorry.
I was just curious why Anwei doubled the payout offer to the tenants.
You could have asked me.
I did.

Press 1 to hear a true testimonial.
In August of this year,
my son, who suffers from severe bi-polar disorder,
was arrested by police during a manic episode.
No, no, no, he's not violent!
He was physically and verbally abused by multiple officers.
I have always been honest with you.
Well, are you gonna be honest with the tenants?
I don't think we need to muddy the waters with scenarios that might not happen.
What about all the low-income housing you're promising?
Uh, not to sound cynical,
but I think their votes are gonna be based on the money.
Which is a lot more than we're required to offer.
And wouldn't a mental health hospital be better for the community
than luxury condos with ten low-income units?
Better for someone like Jerod, who can't find a bed in LA?
He was put in a cell without a blanket, or a mat.
He had to sleep on the concrete floor.
A lockdown facility run by the sheriff's department
is not a hospital. It's another jail.
Well, there needs to be some security.
Like it or not, some patients
are a danger to themselves and others.
It is very difficult for me to talk about what happened,
because I was deeply disturbed to see my son helpless.
A lot of these people who need help aren't willing to accept it.
Or willing to take the meds they need.
That's one of the reasons there are so many mentally ill people on the streets.
So, we just round 'em up,
and lock 'em away.
Mentally ill people are not criminals.
Malika's non-profit just shut down a contract for a place like this.
And that's a shame.
'Cause I just read about a mentally ill woman
who refused to go to a facility where they had a bed for her,
and a few days later, they found her dead in a pile of garbage.
Some people need to be forced to get help.
Now, may I have my files back?

Not-for-profit prison, yeah.
All prisons are for profit.
Corporations make millions off of food contracts,
and phone calls, and, and prison clothes,
and all the cheap labor they profit from.
And, and this concept of, uh,
mental health jail is just particularly cruel.
It is a temporary fix to a crises here in Los Angeles.

This is just...
It's one area where we're gonna have to
respectfully agree to disagree.
So Jamie and the other lawyers
are meeting with the tenants today,
and they have no idea that they might build
a jail instead of condos.
Would it make a difference if they did?
I don't know. But I think they should have all the facts.
What could you do?
I could tell Malika.
