Previously on "Devil in Silver"
I was protecting people.
My girlfriend and her kid.
Pepper, they're cops!
Is this a hospital?
This is better than jail, I promise.
You in the jungle, baby.
I'm so sorry. I don't know
where I could have lost them.
[Gasps]
You knocked me out
for four fucking days.
What happens with him now?
He'll be held for two weeks.
You're looking for a way out?
He was trapped here.
And now you are, too.
- What is that?
- You'll find out.
- Two weeks?
- Miss Chris: Sit down.
No, no, no, no, no, I'm not
staying here for two weeks.
Listen, I'm four grand in the hole.
I gotta make it up to Marisol. She
Look, the only way I can make it up
is if I am out there working.
Sit down.
Two weeks.
Doctor's orders.
Not up for discussion. Understand?
No.
No, I-I don't understand at all.
Well, the policeman
brought you in here.
You're supposed to stay for three days,
but you cause problems,
you don't comply.
How am I supposed to comply?
I am the one talking now, not you.
And then you assault Dr. Anand.
I let him go.
You're lucky it's only two weeks.
And from now on, you mind your space.

Who are you gonna reach?
I've been trying to get up the chain.
Trying one office or another.
The comptroller,
the mayor, the governor.
But I don't have time for that anymore.
I need $8.25 to make the only
phone call that matters.
Well, who's gonna be on the other end?
The president.
