Alex can’t explain

The source of his income.

The three deposits, the condo.

It’s like a really bad meeting with an IRS auditor, except Alex can’t bring in H&R Block or any of those gunners that advertise on the radio.

He has to be his own attorney, but he doesn’t have the right to remain silent. And it ain’t no police interview room, it’s a warehouse out in the flats of Costa Mesa. At least Alex isn’t dangling from the ceiling. Lado knows his man—the lawyer isn’t tough, there’s no need for the piñata routine. So he just has Alex tied hand and foot, and he slaps him around a little, that’s all.

The lambioso lawyer is already crying.

Chon and Ben have been summoned to the meeting, too.

Elena’s idea.

To see how they react.

Ben watches this movie in horror.
