- Lucy Chen: Look, I came to LA to start over, so I am very respectfully just gonna pass, okay?
- Frank Tesca: Yeah, well, that's not really an option. I need access to certain protected plastics, and you need to not go to prison. But this is a very low-risk thing for you. A few barrels a month get misplaced. That kind of loss is normal, and it's built into the company's profit margin. I just need you to hide the missing inventory from your boss. You do that, and I'll pay you 5,000 bucks a month, huh? How's that sound?
- Lucy Chen: Tempting, but I think I would just prefer to give my notice today and let you make this deal with the next girl that sits behind my desk.
- Frank Tesca: Look, I'm trying to be nice here, hmm? But the alternative to you saying yes is me drowning you in that canal. So how about you get onboard, like, right now?
- Wesley Evers: So where are we, case-wise?
- Lucy Chen: Yeah, he made contact, asked me to dinner. Romantically, like a date? Well, ostensibly, it's about business, but he did just get out of prison, so odds are he's hopeful for a little somethin'-somethin'.
- Wesley Evers: Legally, there's two forms of entrapment. The first is offering so much money that an otherwise reasonable person commits an illegal act. The second is sex.
- Nyla Harper: Yeah, if a UC puts sex or love on the table as inducement to crime, it automatically becomes entrapment.
- Wesley Evers: The courts realize that love makes people do crazy things.
- Wesley Evers: Right, so I'm... Should we cancel dinner?
- Wesley Evers: No, but keep it professional. If he starts saying that he's doing it for you or for love, you got to walk.
- Lucy Chen: Yeah. Hey. Should I push a little about his brother?
- Nyla Harper: No, because you're still trying to build a foundation. Once he trusts you, he will hang himself. But we should get a decent wire for her, because he could get a little handsy.
- Wade Grey: Mm. All right. Pull the top of the line from HIDTA. We'll reconvene and brief two hours before your date. Any questions?
