obstruction of justice.

Against the Attorney General.

We need Grigor Andolov.

00:00:14,618 --> 00:00:17,952

There was a discussion.

11
00:00:29,660 --> 00:00:31,785
I don't even know that
it's wrong for him
12

Yes, Jack.
17

on cheap steel deals.
19

I will pull all my money,

and I will give it to Taylor.
32
00:01:18,243 --> 00:01:20,368
[Taylor] A new kind of organization.
33
00:01:20,452 --> 00:01:22,201

you're going, nice and safe,
179
00:07:35,035 --> 00:07:36,577
no one will ticket your car.
180
00:07:36,660 --> 00:07:39,660
You park on the sidewalk and
cops will have to walk around it.
181
00:07:39,744 --> 00:07:41,118
Cops already walk around my car.
182
00:07:41,201 --> 00:07:43,952
I have an ex-cop driving it.
183
00:07:44,035 --> 00:07:46,535
I know a carry permit is
almost impossible in New York.
184
00:07:46,618 --> 00:07:48,994
Yes. Toughest in the country.
185
00:07:49,076 --> 00:07:52,035
Only ex-cops and ex-feds
gain concealed carry permits
186
00:07:52,118 --> 00:07:55,118
- in New York City...
- And guys hooked up on high.
187
00:07:55,201 --> 00:07:56,410
Which is what I figured you were.
188
00:07:56,493 --> 00:07:58,493
But now it's clear, you're not.
189
00:07:58,577 --> 00:08:00,452
[sighs]
190
00:08:00,535 --> 00:08:02,994
[dramatic music]
191
00:08:03,076 --> 00:08:04,785
[door opens]
192
00:08:04,869 --> 00:08:06,744
Teva's about to announce,
you poised, Dollar Bill?
193
00:08:06,827 --> 00:08:08,744
Aye, Captain.
194
00:08:08,827 --> 00:08:11,285
If América Móvil gets whacked,
the peso goes with it, Ev...
195
00:08:11,368 --> 00:08:12,869
I'm Everready.
196
00:08:12,952 --> 00:08:15,785
Personal foul on the play:
Using your own nickname.
197
00:08:15,869 --> 00:08:18,201
Hey, Rudy, where are you landing on Rio?
198
00:08:18,285 --> 00:08:20,452
I'm seeing weakness
in Australian ore, so...
199
00:08:20,535 --> 00:08:22,452
[chuckles] You're the
only weakness I'm seeing.
200
00:08:22,535 --> 00:08:23,994
[Rudy] Wait, what?
201
00:08:24,076 --> 00:08:25,618
Over in the kitchen
before the open you said
202
00:08:25,702 --> 00:08:27,284
they were expanding their rail capacity.
203
00:08:27,319 --> 00:08:28,869
- Yeah.
- So I thought they must be
204
00:08:28,952 --> 00:08:29,910
expanding their CapEx and would
be down for a quarter or two...
205
00:08:29,994 --> 00:08:31,285
That was your mistake: thinking.
206
00:08:31,368 --> 00:08:32,827
Hey, what's the rumpus?
207
00:08:32,910 --> 00:08:35,160
- I was...
- Nothing.
208
00:08:35,243 --> 00:08:38,243
I want you two in sync like
incestuous ice dancers.
209
00:08:38,326 --> 00:08:40,326
My thong's already riding up my crack,
210
00:08:40,410 --> 00:08:42,076
I don't need you up there too, Axe.
211
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:43,493
Oh, that's exactly where I am.
212
00:08:43,577 --> 00:08:45,243
That goes for all of you.
213
00:08:45,326 --> 00:08:46,827
So give, Bonnie.
214
00:08:46,910 --> 00:08:48,702
Fine.
215
00:08:48,785 --> 00:08:51,493
They're expecting shipments
of 360 million tons.
216
00:08:51,577 --> 00:08:54,243
The information is fucking out there.
217
00:08:54,326 --> 00:08:58,869
[dramatic music]
218
00:08:59,848 --> 00:09:02,452
Do you know why Ovi scores so much?
219
00:09:02,535 --> 00:09:05,577
'Cause Backstrom shares the puck.
220
00:09:05,660 --> 00:09:08,702
Yeah, but when he does,
Ovi goes bardown.
221
00:09:08,785 --> 00:09:10,660
This lame loses the
puck between his legs,
222
00:09:10,744 --> 00:09:12,869
or airmails it into the goddamn glass.
223
00:09:12,952 --> 00:09:14,910
So I fire him,
and he never fucks up again...
224
00:09:14,994 --> 00:09:16,910
- Right, Rudy?
- [Rudy] That's right, Axe!
225
00:09:16,994 --> 00:09:18,660
And you signed your non-compete,
didn't you?
226
00:09:18,744 --> 00:09:20,285
[Rudy] Of course!
227
00:09:20,368 --> 00:09:21,577
Good.
228
00:09:21,660 --> 00:09:24,493
Rudy, you're fired.
229
00:09:28,994 --> 00:09:30,577
For,
230
00:09:30,660 --> 00:09:32,452
for misreading Bonnie's information?
231
00:09:32,535 --> 00:09:36,118
That and for fraternizing.
232
00:09:36,201 --> 00:09:38,744
With our sworn fucking enemies.
233
00:09:38,827 --> 00:09:40,910
Taylor Mason Capital picnic?
234
00:09:40,994 --> 00:09:43,076
I accepted that invitation
a long time ago...
235
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:44,952
before.
236
00:09:45,035 --> 00:09:47,660
- No one talked shop...
- Everyone else here declined.
237
00:09:47,744 --> 00:09:50,076
Or didn't even fucking respond.
238
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:51,827
Public execution.
239
00:09:51,910 --> 00:09:53,201
Power move.
240
00:09:53,285 --> 00:09:55,076
Whose bits aren't hard, huh?
241
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:56,410
Gross.
242
00:09:56,493 --> 00:09:58,785
This is a new day for Axe Cap,
243
00:09:58,869 --> 00:10:01,410
so we will all share our information
244
00:10:01,493 --> 00:10:03,160
or we won't be a part of it.
245
00:10:03,243 --> 00:10:05,076
Get with it, or get fucked, people.
246
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,410
- So you're firing me too?
- No, he fired you.
247
00:10:07,493 --> 00:10:10,035
I'm seconding it.
248
00:10:10,118 --> 00:10:11,869
Go.
249
00:10:14,952 --> 00:10:17,577
We now live in a universe
split down the middle.
250
00:10:17,660 --> 00:10:19,702
You got to pick sides.
251
00:10:19,785 --> 00:10:22,160
If you're not on mine, you're gone.
252
00:10:22,243 --> 00:10:24,952
That was bracing.
253
00:10:25,035 --> 00:10:27,118
I'm headed off to the
land of milk and honey.
254
00:10:27,201 --> 00:10:28,577
Or their embassy, at least.
255
00:10:28,660 --> 00:10:30,035
You sure you don't want to come along
256
00:10:30,118 --> 00:10:31,326
and help me deal with the
sovereign wealth fund?
257
00:10:31,410 --> 00:10:33,285
This is my sovereign wealth fund.
258
00:10:33,368 --> 00:10:35,577
You really sure you want
me to deal with the royals?
259
00:10:35,660 --> 00:10:38,368
Competition is probably
sending their top dog.
260
00:10:38,452 --> 00:10:41,118
Oh, believe me,
they're not sitting down with Taylor.
261
00:10:41,201 --> 00:10:43,035
They would never see someone like them.
262
00:10:43,118 --> 00:10:45,410
And the sovereign money
is pledged to us already.
263
00:10:45,493 --> 00:10:46,535
This is just about setting terms.
264
00:10:46,618 --> 00:10:47,994
But that's the hard part.
265
00:10:48,076 --> 00:10:49,535
Nobody's paying full freight anymore.
266
00:10:49,618 --> 00:10:51,660
Wags, it's bad enough that
we had to go 2 and 20.
267
00:10:51,744 --> 00:10:53,452
We gotta make our stand there.
268
00:10:53,535 --> 00:10:55,368
We might as well be
running a mutual fund.
269
00:10:55,452 --> 00:10:58,785
You go deliver this message
and get us our terms.
270
00:10:58,869 --> 00:11:01,452
- Jawohl, kommandant.
- And cut that shit out.
271
00:11:01,535 --> 00:11:04,285
Whatever you say, amigo.
272
00:11:04,368 --> 00:11:07,243
I, Bryan James Flynn Connerty,
do solemnly swear...
273
00:11:07,326 --> 00:11:08,994
[Judge Wailand] That I
will support and defend
274
00:11:09,076 --> 00:11:11,577
[Judge Wailand] the Constitution
of the United States...
275
00:11:11,660 --> 00:11:13,035
...that I will support and defend
276
00:11:13,118 --> 00:11:15,118
the Constitution of the United States...
277
00:11:15,201 --> 00:11:18,076
...against all enemies,
foreign and domestic.
278
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,994
...against all enemies
foreign and domestic.
279
00:11:21,076 --> 00:11:23,994
Our boy looks good up there, doesn't he?
280
00:11:24,076 --> 00:11:26,535
Like he was born to it.
281
00:11:26,618 --> 00:11:30,410
No one's born to it,
Ms. Sacker, not even you.
282
00:11:30,493 --> 00:11:32,285
He had to kill for it.
283
00:11:32,368 --> 00:11:34,869
'S what makes it worth something.
284
00:11:34,952 --> 00:11:38,201
As you will likely find out one day...
285
00:11:38,285 --> 00:11:39,727
So help me God.
286
00:11:39,910 --> 00:11:41,577
So help me God.
287
00:11:41,660 --> 00:11:43,577
- Congratulations.
- Thank you, Your Honor.
288
00:11:43,660 --> 00:11:46,952
[applause]
289
00:11:53,994 --> 00:11:55,952
Thank you so much, Your Honor.
Thank you.
290
00:11:56,952 --> 00:11:58,410
[sighs]
291
00:11:58,493 --> 00:11:59,910
You finally made it.
292
00:11:59,994 --> 00:12:02,035
Yeah. Long time coming.
293
00:12:02,118 --> 00:12:03,535
First order of business?
294
00:12:03,618 --> 00:12:06,326
Something I've been giving
a lot of thought to.
295
00:12:06,410 --> 00:12:09,326
- I want to go after...
- Mr. U.S. Attorney,
296
00:12:10,487 --> 00:12:14,076
I would love to borrow
you for a New York minute.
297
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,035
Mr. Attorney General.
I just want to say thank...
298
00:12:16,118 --> 00:12:18,243
Yeah, faith bestowed. New beginnings.
299
00:12:18,326 --> 00:12:21,076
Debts of gratitude. Fresh opportunities.
300
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:22,577
All those wonderful things.
301
00:12:22,660 --> 00:12:25,535
Let's just consider that
covered, shall we?
302
00:12:25,618 --> 00:12:27,827
- Okay.
- Move on to sloppy inheritances.
303
00:12:27,910 --> 00:12:30,035
Cleaning up messes that came before.
304
00:12:30,652 --> 00:12:31,904
We're talking about Chuck?
305
00:12:31,939 --> 00:12:33,118
We are.
306
00:12:33,201 --> 00:12:36,076
We get one chance to firewall
ourself off from his tenure,
307
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,410
and this is how we're gonna do it...
308
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,326
You can't get Brogan a gun permit?
309
00:12:47,410 --> 00:12:49,326
[Senior] Pathetic.
310
00:12:49,410 --> 00:12:51,118
Uh, we live in New York City,
Dad, not Beaumont, Texas.
311
00:12:51,201 --> 00:12:52,785
Gun permits are quite hard to come by.
312
00:12:52,869 --> 00:12:55,535
I sent that man in to you
because he is important
313
00:12:55,618 --> 00:12:57,285
[Senior] in the very
city in which we live.
314
00:12:57,368 --> 00:12:58,577
And state.
315
00:12:58,660 --> 00:13:01,368
With all the benefactors you will need.
316
00:13:01,452 --> 00:13:04,368
- You sent him to me? Hmm?
- Who the fuck else?
317
00:13:04,452 --> 00:13:06,118
You need to go on the offensive.
318
00:13:06,201 --> 00:13:10,410
Because everyone else is
lining up against you.
319
00:13:10,493 --> 00:13:12,660
Tell him, Ira.
320
00:13:12,744 --> 00:13:15,201
- Hello, buddy.
- Your father is correct.
321
00:13:15,285 --> 00:13:17,910
Most of your major cases are
being put under review by SDNY,
322
00:13:17,994 --> 00:13:20,660
by Connerty, for any kind of wrongdoing.
323
00:13:20,744 --> 00:13:23,535
Oh, those fuckers.
324
00:13:25,493 --> 00:13:27,410
All my good work undone. Hmm?
325
00:13:27,493 --> 00:13:29,410
Legacy trashed.
326
00:13:29,493 --> 00:13:32,410
All my accomplishments wiped out
as though I were never there.
327
00:13:32,493 --> 00:13:34,410
Yeah, that'll happen.
But it's worse than that.
328
00:13:34,493 --> 00:13:35,577
They're digging for misconduct,
329
00:13:35,660 --> 00:13:36,952
wrongful prosecutions,
330
00:13:37,035 --> 00:13:38,910
politically motivated decision-making,
331
00:13:38,994 --> 00:13:40,160
conflict of interest...
332
00:13:40,243 --> 00:13:41,869
They'll try to abandon convictions.
333
00:13:41,952 --> 00:13:43,618
- Your name will be ruined.
- [Senior] His name?!
334
00:13:43,702 --> 00:13:45,326
That's my name he's wearing.
335
00:13:45,410 --> 00:13:47,285
And it will not be besmirched.
336
00:13:47,368 --> 00:13:51,118
- I don't think we can stop...
- Oyez, oyez, Sonny!
337
00:13:51,201 --> 00:13:53,618
They are trying to hang
you from the yardarm.
338
00:13:53,702 --> 00:13:55,827
And you have not claimed the high ground
339
00:13:55,910 --> 00:13:57,410
from where you can repel the siege.
340
00:13:57,493 --> 00:13:59,660
If you were in a position of influence,
341
00:13:59,744 --> 00:14:01,452
- if you had a power base...
- [Senior] Yes.
342
00:14:01,535 --> 00:14:05,201
Then you could take vengeance on them,
on Connerty and...
343
00:14:05,285 --> 00:14:06,827
Jeffcoat and the rest,
344
00:14:06,910 --> 00:14:09,076
make them defend instead of attack.
345
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:13,994
All I want is vengeance,
and it will be had.
346
00:14:14,076 --> 00:14:15,695
And we all know what I need to do it.
347
00:14:15,730 --> 00:14:17,285
A perch.
348
00:14:17,368 --> 00:14:19,660
And Epstein's vacated New
York Attorney General's seat
349
00:14:19,744 --> 00:14:20,994
is there for me.
350
00:14:21,076 --> 00:14:22,285
And maybe I could win it.
351
00:14:22,368 --> 00:14:23,660
But the moment I poke my head up,
352
00:14:23,744 --> 00:14:25,243
