1
00:00:00,709 --> 00:00:02,669
[Chuck]
Previously on Billions.
2
00:00:02,669 --> 00:00:04,337
[Prince]
I'm not Axe. I'm different.
3
00:00:04,337 --> 00:00:05,964
And I'm willing
to put the time
4
00:00:05,964 --> 00:00:07,465
and effort in
to prove that to you.
5
00:00:07,465 --> 00:00:09,009
With Axe,
I didn't have to pretend
6
00:00:09,009 --> 00:00:10,927
I was making glittery cupcakes
7
00:00:10,927 --> 00:00:13,179
while shivving a motherfucker
who needed shivving.
8
00:00:13,179 --> 00:00:15,974
Maybe Prince's
way is more powerful.
9
00:00:15,974 --> 00:00:17,684
Welcome to
Michael Prince Capital, Kate.
10
00:00:17,684 --> 00:00:19,144
Where do I work?
11
00:00:19,144 --> 00:00:20,895
[Chuck]
There comes a time, Lucien,
12
00:00:20,895 --> 00:00:22,647
when ideology meets reality.
13
00:00:22,647 --> 00:00:24,399
Even in the newspaper business.
14
00:00:24,399 --> 00:00:28,153
I want your comment on the
story I am running.
15
00:00:28,153 --> 00:00:30,030
[Prince]
We both share the same vision
16
00:00:30,030 --> 00:00:33,533
of what a Summer Games
in New York should look like.
17
00:00:33,533 --> 00:00:35,368
I thrive in peacetime.
18
00:00:35,368 --> 00:00:39,706
But the best way to peace
is through overwhelming force.
19
00:00:39,706 --> 00:00:41,374
[woman, on TV]
The 2028 Games
20
00:00:41,374 --> 00:00:43,710
can no longer be held
in New York City.
21
00:00:43,710 --> 00:00:45,045
Chuck can be removed as AG.
22
00:00:45,045 --> 00:00:46,421
How do we pull the lever?
23
00:00:46,421 --> 00:00:47,881
[man]
Charles Rhoades Junior
24
00:00:47,881 --> 00:00:49,257
is hereby removed
as attorney general
25
00:00:49,257 --> 00:00:50,592
of the State of New York.
26
00:00:50,592 --> 00:00:52,469
The Senate names
Miss Daevisha Mahar
27
00:00:52,469 --> 00:00:54,262
as acting attorney general
28
00:00:54,262 --> 00:00:56,306
for the remainder
of Mr. Rhoades' term.
29
00:00:56,306 --> 00:00:58,892
You want to know why Axe
is satisfied with freedom?
30
00:00:58,892 --> 00:01:00,810
Why Chuck is priapic
for warfare?
31
00:01:00,810 --> 00:01:02,729
Because they are lesser Caesars.
32
00:01:02,729 --> 00:01:04,898
You want to be a greater
Caesar?
33
00:01:04,898 --> 00:01:08,068
Michael fucking Prince
is running for president.
34
00:01:08,068 --> 00:01:10,737
President of
the United States of America.
35
00:01:10,737 --> 00:01:12,822
- And one of us...
- Both of us.
36
00:01:12,822 --> 00:01:15,408
...could be running Michael
Prince Capital very soon.
37
00:01:15,408 --> 00:01:17,410
[Wendy] For you to succeed
at being whatever it is
38
00:01:17,410 --> 00:01:19,079
you want to be, you need
to stop lying to yourself.
39
00:01:19,079 --> 00:01:21,414
[Prince]
Let's not forget about you
40
00:01:21,414 --> 00:01:23,249
and what you want
out of all of this.
41
00:01:23,249 --> 00:01:25,251
[Chuck] Prince is funding
Mike Money with crypto.
42
00:01:25,251 --> 00:01:27,712
[Nick] Ten incorrect attempts
and it'll encrypt itself,
43
00:01:27,712 --> 00:01:29,589
making it impossible
to access whatever's on it.
44
00:01:29,589 --> 00:01:32,926
If we go down this road, one of
you is ending up in jail.
45
00:01:34,969 --> 00:01:39,099
[Prince] This night's cost me
$3.5 billion already.
46
00:01:39,099 --> 00:01:41,392
[Dave] We're gonna destroy
Mike Prince together.
47
00:01:41,392 --> 00:01:43,144
The world will think
you're under indictment,
48
00:01:43,144 --> 00:01:46,606
right up until the minute
we lock Mike Prince up.
49
00:01:46,606 --> 00:01:47,774
You got a deal.
50
00:02:12,966 --> 00:02:15,009
Find me Wendy fucking Rhoades.
51
00:02:17,137 --> 00:02:19,139
She's actually here?!
52
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,656
What is so fucking
wrong about me
53
00:02:36,656 --> 00:02:40,076
that you're sure I shouldn't
be fucking president?
54
00:02:42,579 --> 00:02:44,706
["Because I'm Awesome"
by the Dollyrots]
55
00:02:51,754 --> 00:02:53,381
Uh-huh
56
00:02:55,425 --> 00:02:58,720
I've got the new style
Uh-oh
57
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,140
And I'm walking
Right down your street
58
00:03:02,140 --> 00:03:05,852
I'm on your speed dial
You know
59
00:03:05,852 --> 00:03:09,814
The one everyone
Wants to meet
60
00:03:09,814 --> 00:03:14,319
I always tell you
How cool you dress
61
00:03:14,319 --> 00:03:16,946
It's 'cause
I'm fashionably socialized
62
00:03:16,946 --> 00:03:21,034
You're smarter, better
No, the best
63
00:03:21,034 --> 00:03:22,952
Just look at me
64
00:03:22,952 --> 00:03:26,164
I'm a leader, I'm a winner
65
00:03:26,164 --> 00:03:28,208
And I'm cleaner
66
00:03:28,208 --> 00:03:29,500
'Cause I'm awesome
67
00:03:29,500 --> 00:03:30,793
I don't need you
68
00:03:30,793 --> 00:03:32,712
'Cause I'm neato
69
00:03:32,712 --> 00:03:35,089
And I beat you
'Cause I'm awesome
70
00:03:35,089 --> 00:03:37,008
- I'm a leader
- I'm a leader
71
00:03:37,175 --> 00:03:39,260
- I'm a winner
- I'm a winner
72
00:03:39,427 --> 00:03:41,596
- And I'm cleaner
- And I'm cleaner
73
00:03:41,763 --> 00:03:43,890
- 'Cause I'm awesome
- 'Cause I'm awesome
74
00:03:44,015 --> 00:03:46,309
- I don't need you
- I don't need you
75
00:03:46,476 --> 00:03:47,894
- 'Cause I'm neato
- 'Cause I'm neato
76
00:03:48,311 --> 00:03:50,146
- And I beat you
- And I beat you
77
00:03:50,563 --> 00:03:52,232
- 'Cause I'm awesome
- That's right
78
00:03:52,357 --> 00:03:53,983
Rah, rah, rah, rah
Rah, rah, rah
79
00:03:54,275 --> 00:03:55,985
- I'm awesome
- Rah, rah, rah, rah
80
00:03:56,236 --> 00:03:57,946
- Rah, rah, rah
- That's right
81
00:03:57,946 --> 00:04:00,907
Rah, rah, rah, rah
Rah, rah, rah
82
00:04:00,907 --> 00:04:03,826
I don't need you
'Cause I'm awesome
83
00:04:03,826 --> 00:04:05,203
Uh-huh
84
00:04:17,924 --> 00:04:19,676
[Prince]
This is part two, Wendy.
85
00:04:19,676 --> 00:04:21,719
Just you and me.
86
00:04:21,719 --> 00:04:23,763
Part one was the day
you grilled me
87
00:04:23,763 --> 00:04:25,390
right here all alone.
This is--
88
00:04:25,390 --> 00:04:28,101
Part two, yeah.
You said.
89
00:04:28,101 --> 00:04:29,852
I need to go deep.
90
00:04:29,852 --> 00:04:31,271
We do.
91
00:04:32,438 --> 00:04:34,357
That's my specialty.
92
00:04:34,357 --> 00:04:37,068
[Prince] But now you need
to do it for me.
93
00:04:37,068 --> 00:04:39,195
I've been doing
a kind of internal
94
00:04:39,195 --> 00:04:41,447
chiropractic adjustment,
95
00:04:41,447 --> 00:04:43,574
trying to align myself
to find the parts in there
96
00:04:43,574 --> 00:04:45,618
that are fighting
the whole, but--
97
00:04:45,618 --> 00:04:48,496
Yeah, you can't do that alone.
98
00:04:48,496 --> 00:04:50,456
But you could have just
walked through that door
99
00:04:50,456 --> 00:04:52,000
and asked me to dive in.
100
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,793
Instead, you cleared
the office. Why?
101
00:04:53,793 --> 00:04:55,795
Well, I can't just let anyone,
not even you,
102
00:04:55,795 --> 00:04:57,463
all the way inside
without being sure.
103
00:04:57,463 --> 00:05:00,425
So you plan on interrogating me
the way I did you?
104
00:05:01,801 --> 00:05:03,511
I pass.
105
00:05:03,511 --> 00:05:05,388
Don't think of it like that.
106
00:05:05,388 --> 00:05:07,473
Where I'm going,
I need loyalists.
107
00:05:07,473 --> 00:05:10,518
Not blind loyalists,
open-eyed believers.
108
00:05:10,518 --> 00:05:12,520
Like Nirvana fans
back in the day.
109
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,064
No. Most of them
didn't understand Kurt.
110
00:05:15,064 --> 00:05:17,317
I need to know that you get me.
111
00:05:17,317 --> 00:05:19,277
You want me to be
your Courtney Love?
112
00:05:19,277 --> 00:05:20,820
No. My Dave Grohl.
113
00:05:20,820 --> 00:05:23,656
Lay down a monster beat
and keep me on it.
114
00:05:23,656 --> 00:05:26,242
Well, I could say
I wouldn't be standing here
115
00:05:26,242 --> 00:05:28,286
if I weren't prepared to.
116
00:05:28,286 --> 00:05:30,163
Uh, I'm not sure
that's good enough.
117
00:05:32,290 --> 00:05:34,542
We need to get
to your why.
118
00:05:37,003 --> 00:05:38,171
Here's a why.
119
00:05:40,214 --> 00:05:42,675
Why are you so confident
I'll play along?
120
00:05:42,675 --> 00:05:44,969
Why don't you think
I'll just turn around,
121
00:05:44,969 --> 00:05:46,471
pack out my desk and leave?
122
00:05:46,471 --> 00:05:48,181
Because I didn't
sign up for this.
123
00:05:48,181 --> 00:05:50,016
Not many people would walk away
124
00:05:50,016 --> 00:05:51,184
from the kind of access
and power you'd have
125
00:05:51,184 --> 00:05:52,477
if you hang in close.
126
00:05:52,643 --> 00:05:54,395
You talking about
your run for office?
127
00:05:57,106 --> 00:05:59,859
Twenty-eight is a long way off.
128
00:06:02,737 --> 00:06:04,072
Oh.
129
00:06:04,072 --> 00:06:05,823
Timeline's shifted.
130
00:06:05,823 --> 00:06:08,868
I'm going to do things
differently, yes.
131
00:06:08,868 --> 00:06:11,079
I'm announcing
on my own timeline.
132
00:06:11,079 --> 00:06:12,372
I'm going to run and win in--
133
00:06:12,372 --> 00:06:15,166
- 2024.
- I need it now.
134
00:06:15,166 --> 00:06:16,417
Before it's too late.
135
00:06:16,667 --> 00:06:18,753
Assuming I'll win,
I'll need to know
136
00:06:18,753 --> 00:06:22,382
that I'm not just ready
for this job, but primed.
137
00:06:22,382 --> 00:06:25,176
I have blind spots.
Everyone does.
138
00:06:25,176 --> 00:06:27,553
But I need to know that
you're in to expose them to me
139
00:06:27,553 --> 00:06:29,055
so that I can see and fix them.
140
00:06:29,055 --> 00:06:30,890
Fair enough.
141
00:06:34,268 --> 00:06:37,855
But I'm-I'm still not sure what
it is you need to hear from me.
142
00:06:37,855 --> 00:06:40,400
Well, start by finishing
this sentence.
143
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,402
"Michael Prince is..."
144
00:06:44,529 --> 00:06:48,241
Michael Prince is
going about this all wrong.
145
00:06:48,241 --> 00:06:50,201
Because instead
of trying to extract
146
00:06:50,201 --> 00:06:52,245
a loyalty test from me,
147
00:06:52,245 --> 00:06:55,581
what he should be doing is
using every second of his life
148
00:06:55,581 --> 00:06:57,834
trying to convince me
and everyone like me
149
00:06:57,834 --> 00:07:00,253
that he's worthy
of my investment.
150
00:07:01,379 --> 00:07:03,756
Look inward for sure.
151
00:07:04,173 --> 00:07:06,384
But look outward
to engage all those
152
00:07:06,384 --> 00:07:07,760
you're gonna need
to get you there.
153
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,262
Just tell me this.
154
00:07:09,387 --> 00:07:10,930
Are you still capable
of getting it done?
155
00:07:10,930 --> 00:07:13,933
That is not what
you really want to know.
156
00:07:15,476 --> 00:07:17,228
What is it you really
want to know?
157
00:07:19,105 --> 00:07:21,315
Why is it so hard
for you to do it for me
158
00:07:21,315 --> 00:07:23,109
when it was so easy for you
with Axe?
159
00:07:24,986 --> 00:07:26,779
No one would use
the word "easy."
160
00:07:28,114 --> 00:07:30,158
But he was direct.
161
00:07:30,450 --> 00:07:33,077
He wanted the things
he wanted.
162
00:07:33,077 --> 00:07:35,121
And once we cleared out
the inner conflicts,
163
00:07:35,121 --> 00:07:36,914
he just went after them
and got them.
164
00:07:36,914 --> 00:07:40,626
So you turned him
into a targeted missile.
165
00:07:40,626 --> 00:07:43,629
Oh, I just tweaked
the guidance system a little.
166
00:07:43,629 --> 00:07:46,466
He was already a missile.
167
00:07:46,466 --> 00:07:49,218
You can't help but smile
as you talk about him.
168
00:07:50,470 --> 00:07:52,388
What is it that makes you smile
169
00:07:52,388 --> 00:07:53,806
when you think about
where you want to go?
170
00:07:53,806 --> 00:07:55,766
[laughs]
171
00:07:55,766 --> 00:07:57,560
We're starting.
172
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:58,978
We are.
173
00:08:00,855 --> 00:08:02,315
[sighs]
174
00:08:02,690 --> 00:08:05,443
[Wendy] So?
175
00:08:05,443 --> 00:08:07,361
Why are you the one
right now, this second,
176
00:08:07,361 --> 00:08:09,197
to do this?
177
00:08:09,197 --> 00:08:11,824
Not the stem-winder
you'll give on the hustings,
178
00:08:11,824 --> 00:08:13,075
but the real answer
you give yourself
179
00:08:13,075 --> 00:08:14,827
in the mirror at 2:00 a.m.
180
00:08:19,373 --> 00:08:21,209
Because of my ruthlessness.
181
00:08:26,881 --> 00:08:28,216
Say more.
182
00:08:33,054 --> 00:08:34,305
Think of it this way.
183
00:08:34,305 --> 00:08:36,140
If you're out on a climb
184
00:08:36,140 --> 00:08:38,142
and you fall
and break your femur in half,
185
00:08:38,142 --> 00:08:40,144
you don't need someone who
knows how to talk a good game.
186
00:08:40,144 --> 00:08:42,104
You need someone who knows
how to fix it.
187
00:08:42,355 --> 00:08:44,649
Someone who's willing to do
what needs to be done,
188
00:08:44,649 --> 00:08:47,777
even when there's no anesthesia
out on the trail.
189
00:08:47,777 --> 00:08:50,446
Someone who will ignore
your screams of pain
190
00:08:50,446 --> 00:08:52,865
until the bone is set
and ready to heal.
191
00:08:52,865 --> 00:08:54,534
That someone is me.
192
00:09:02,458 --> 00:09:04,210
And our country is the femur.
193
00:09:05,253 --> 00:09:06,712
Damn right it is.
194
00:09:06,712 --> 00:09:10,049
Strength.
195
00:09:10,049 --> 00:09:12,009
People want that when
they believe it's not put on,
196
00:09:12,009 --> 00:09:13,344
but real.
197
00:09:15,012 --> 00:09:16,764
People?
198
00:09:16,764 --> 00:09:19,100
Where it went wrong
was when politicians
199
00:09:19,100 --> 00:09:20,643
thought they had to listen
to people.
200
00:09:20,643 --> 00:09:22,436
Not smart people.
Not educated people.
201
00:09:22,436 --> 00:09:24,188
Just people.
202
00:09:24,188 --> 00:09:25,439
There is such a thing
as worthy dissent.
203
00:09:25,439 --> 00:09:26,899
The First Amendment.
204
00:09:27,108 --> 00:09:28,859
The Founders never wanted
a true democracy,
205
00:09:28,859 --> 00:09:31,904
but a constitutional republic.
You know this.
206
00:09:35,950 --> 00:09:38,369
So when you get there
to the Oval Office...
207
00:09:38,369 --> 00:09:40,037
Truman had a sign on his desk
that said,
208
00:09:40,037 --> 00:09:41,914
"The buck stops here."
209
00:09:41,914 --> 00:09:44,959
Mine's gonna say,
"I am the buck."
210
00:09:59,223 --> 00:10:00,850
Let's fucking get you there.
211
00:10:00,850 --> 00:10:03,185
[laughs]
212
00:10:03,185 --> 00:10:04,395
That's my girl.
213
00:10:04,395 --> 00:10:06,564
Uh, doctor. Uh...
214
00:10:06,564 --> 00:10:07,940
Yeah, you're on
a different stage now,
215
00:10:07,940 --> 00:10:09,442
so don't do that.
216
00:10:09,442 --> 00:10:11,110
- Copy.
- [door chimes and slides open]
217
00:10:14,155 --> 00:10:16,449
So you didn't clear
the whole day.
218
00:10:16,449 --> 00:10:18,451
Oh, I knew
you wouldn't need it.
219
00:10:18,451 --> 00:10:20,578
And I have someplace
I very much need to be.
220
00:10:20,578 --> 00:10:22,747
[door chimes and slides open]
221
00:10:36,135 --> 00:10:37,928
[indistinct chatter]
222
00:10:42,558 --> 00:10:45,478
Wags, when was the last time
you had egg foo young?
223
00:10:45,478 --> 00:10:47,897
Old-school style
with the pork just so?
224
00:10:47,897 --> 00:10:51,067
Because whenever that was,
the next time is tonight.
225
00:10:59,033 --> 00:11:01,160
[Ira] My client
has no prior felonies,
226
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:02,828
no pending criminal matters.
227
00:11:02,828 --> 00:11:04,330
He's already surrendered
his passport.
228
00:11:04,330 --> 00:11:07,625
Mr. Rhoades is a man
of some renown,
229
00:11:07,625 --> 00:11:09,669
which makes flight
even more unlikely.
230
00:11:09,669 --> 00:11:12,505
The GPS ankle monitor, Judge,
is an unnecessary
231
00:11:12,505 --> 00:11:14,090
and extraordinary measure.
232
00:11:14,090 --> 00:11:17,259
Well, Chuck and I go way back.
233
00:11:17,510 --> 00:11:20,513
And I know him to be
an extraordinary character.
234
00:11:20,513 --> 00:11:22,223
Thank you?
235
00:11:22,223 --> 00:11:24,183
Uh, Judge Wailand,
236
00:11:24,183 --> 00:11:25,685
I'd call you
by your first name,
237
00:11:25,893 --> 00:11:27,478
but we don't want that
kind of thing on the record.
238
00:11:27,645 --> 00:11:30,147
You're treating me
like some kind of lamster.
239
00:11:30,147 --> 00:11:31,816
But fleeing jurisdiction
is the move
240
00:11:31,816 --> 00:11:33,526
the guys I chase
like to make.
241
00:11:33,526 --> 00:11:35,361
Please don't
address the bench directly
242
00:11:35,361 --> 00:11:37,655
unless the bench
addresses you...
243
00:11:39,073 --> 00:11:40,866
as I'm about to do.
244
00:11:42,076 --> 00:11:43,911
But how, exactly,
245
00:11:43,911 --> 00:11:46,706
is this device
causing you undue trouble?
246
00:11:46,706 --> 00:11:51,669
You'd be still expected to
continue your supervised release
247
00:11:51,669 --> 00:11:54,588
and check-ins for pre-trial
services regardless.
248
00:11:54,588 --> 00:11:57,717
But this thing on my leg,
249
00:11:57,717 --> 00:12:00,886
what the kids call
a Coney Island Crunk-o-Meter,
250
00:12:00,886 --> 00:12:02,430
is chafing me.
251
00:12:03,389 --> 00:12:04,640
I am chafing.
252
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,726
Emotionally and physically.
253
00:12:06,726 --> 00:12:08,811
Literally and figuratively,
254
00:12:08,811 --> 00:12:10,855
if the distinction
even exists anymore,
255
00:12:10,855 --> 00:12:13,816
and I haven't been
convicted of a damn thing.
256
00:12:13,816 --> 00:12:16,235
[Wailand]
I can't see how your itchiness
257
00:12:16,235 --> 00:12:18,821
is something this court
should be worried about.
258
00:12:19,321 --> 00:12:21,741
This is all going
the way it's supposed to.
259
00:12:21,741 --> 00:12:23,242
Yeah. Good. I see.
260
00:12:23,242 --> 00:12:24,744
But you called this meeting.
261
00:12:25,161 --> 00:12:27,204
Because, while I'd like to
think what I have is enough,
262
00:12:27,204 --> 00:12:28,873
this is Chuck
we're dealing with.
263
00:12:28,873 --> 00:12:30,040
You don't think you have
enough?
264
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:31,625
Could always use more.
265
00:12:31,625 --> 00:12:33,753
I want to bring the garlic,
the crucifix,
266
00:12:33,753 --> 00:12:35,463
the stake through the heart.
267
00:12:35,671 --> 00:12:37,757
Well, there's plenty out there.
The guy's pathological.
268
00:12:37,757 --> 00:12:39,592
He has history
with Taylor Mason,
269
00:12:39,592 --> 00:12:41,761
Wendy, obviously, and others
that used to work there.
270
00:12:41,761 --> 00:12:43,471
- And that's my company alone.
- Sure.
271
00:12:43,471 --> 00:12:45,431
Love to talk to them,
with your permission.
272
00:12:45,431 --> 00:12:48,267
Kate Sacker, too,
if she's allowed.
273
00:12:48,267 --> 00:12:49,810
They might not
be comfortable with it,
274
00:12:49,810 --> 00:12:51,395
but I'll let them know I am
275
00:12:51,395 --> 00:12:52,938
for the purposes
of winning this.
276
00:12:52,938 --> 00:12:54,774
But once I open the door,
277
00:12:54,774 --> 00:12:56,275
it's up to you
to get them talking.
278
00:12:58,611 --> 00:13:00,279
To that end,
shouldn't you be there
279
00:13:00,279 --> 00:13:01,947
to make sure
he doesn't win this thing?
280
00:13:01,947 --> 00:13:04,867
I know how this is going to go.
Request denied.
281
00:13:07,411 --> 00:13:08,913
[Wailand]
Request denied.
282
00:13:08,913 --> 00:13:10,289
[gavel bangs]
283
00:13:10,289 --> 00:13:12,541
Let me know
when that door is open.
284
00:13:26,180 --> 00:13:28,474
This is how you and Dave
drew it up, right?
285
00:13:28,474 --> 00:13:29,809
Certain aspects of it, yeah.
286
00:13:29,809 --> 00:13:32,144
This is the hard stretch.
287
00:13:32,144 --> 00:13:34,647
This kind of reversal
lends credibility.
288
00:13:34,647 --> 00:13:36,565
In a way, it's the best thing
that could've happened.
289
00:13:38,025 --> 00:13:39,693
So you say, partner.
290
00:13:43,572 --> 00:13:45,324
[sighs]
291
00:13:49,036 --> 00:13:50,204
What you got
to understand is this.
292
00:13:50,204 --> 00:13:52,206
This is good news.
293
00:13:52,206 --> 00:13:54,166
This is the good news express
right here. Climb aboard.
294
00:13:54,166 --> 00:13:55,751
This is not
what good news looks like.
295
00:13:55,918 --> 00:13:57,920
No. Good news at this place
comes via text or email,
296
00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,129
or is delivered
by one of these men.
297
00:13:59,129 --> 00:14:00,589
When it's the two of them
298
00:14:00,589 --> 00:14:01,924
coming in hot
like Turner and Hooch...
299
00:14:01,924 --> 00:14:03,425
Who's the dog in that?
300
00:14:03,425 --> 00:14:05,302
- Whatever they're selling--
- Yes.
301
00:14:05,302 --> 00:14:07,179
Yeah, who's the dog?
302
00:14:07,179 --> 00:14:08,430
Whatever you're selling,
we're all full up.
303
00:14:08,430 --> 00:14:09,682
We don't want any.
304
00:14:09,682 --> 00:14:11,600
First of all,
305
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,269
and before we go any further, congratulations.
306
00:14:13,269 --> 00:14:15,312
You got into the ESG space
right on time.
307
00:14:15,312 --> 00:14:17,773
Early, even,
and have done very nicely.
308
00:14:17,773 --> 00:14:19,942
More than nicely.
You've kicked royal ass.
309
00:14:19,942 --> 00:14:22,444
You're giving heavy dad-rock
right now.
310
00:14:22,444 --> 00:14:24,947
Well, but it's true.
So Michael Prince believes--
311
00:14:24,947 --> 00:14:26,782
- He knows--
- Yes.
312
00:14:26,782 --> 00:14:29,702
He has decided that early-in
leads to early-out.
313
00:14:29,702 --> 00:14:32,204
[Scooter] So that the two of you
can focus fully on this place.
314
00:14:32,204 --> 00:14:34,957
This entire place.
See? This is good news.
315
00:14:34,957 --> 00:14:36,709
This is growing up.
This is the major leagues.
316
00:14:36,709 --> 00:14:38,210
- This is--
- You killing my business.
317
00:14:38,210 --> 00:14:39,837
- Our.
- Absolutely. Our business.
318
00:14:39,837 --> 00:14:41,839
My brand.
Environmental, social
319
00:14:41,839 --> 00:14:43,549
and governance-centered
investing is--
320
00:14:43,549 --> 00:14:45,843
Is oversaturated
and picked over.
321
00:14:45,843 --> 00:14:48,762
Plus, if Prince has a carve-out
that specializes in ESG,
322
00:14:48,762 --> 00:14:50,681
it means the main firm
disregards ESG.
323
00:14:50,681 --> 00:14:52,725
- You see?
- I do.
324
00:14:52,725 --> 00:14:54,727
The key at this place is,
it's one brand now
325
00:14:54,727 --> 00:14:56,395
that the two of you
are running.
326
00:14:56,395 --> 00:14:58,188
Don't think of it
as killing what you had.
327
00:14:58,188 --> 00:15:00,691
[laughs]
No one is killing anything.
328
00:15:00,691 --> 00:15:02,818
Taylor Mason Carbon
will be sunsetted,
329
00:15:02,818 --> 00:15:06,447
but you will be right here at
the head of one unified firm.
330
00:15:06,447 --> 00:15:07,948
These offices will be upgraded
331
00:15:07,948 --> 00:15:09,366
and turned into
your command center.
332
00:15:09,366 --> 00:15:10,951
We don't have a voice in this?
333
00:15:10,951 --> 00:15:12,536
Of course you do,
334
00:15:12,536 --> 00:15:14,413
and that voice
is going to be heard.
335
00:15:14,413 --> 00:15:17,249
And then it is
going to say, "Yes!"
336
00:15:17,791 --> 00:15:20,169
- I don't like it.
- Taylor doesn't like it.
337
00:15:20,169 --> 00:15:22,338
And neither do I.
We have to--
338
00:15:22,338 --> 00:15:24,548
total and complete respect
to the two of you, of course--
339
00:15:24,548 --> 00:15:26,759
but we have to take this
directly to Prince.
340
00:15:26,759 --> 00:15:28,928
Don't think of this
as us going over your heads.
341
00:15:28,928 --> 00:15:30,512
Just know we are going
over your heads.
342
00:15:30,512 --> 00:15:31,680
And the dog--
343
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,349
whichever one of you
344
00:15:33,349 --> 00:15:34,558
happens to be barking loudest
at the moment--
345
00:15:34,558 --> 00:15:36,101
you're Hooch.
346
00:15:42,566 --> 00:15:43,943
You wearing
your invisibility cloak?
347
00:15:43,943 --> 00:15:45,527
It's at the cleaners.
348
00:15:45,527 --> 00:15:46,904
Well, I must
be wearing mine,
349
00:15:46,904 --> 00:15:48,072
'cause Prince can't see me.
350
00:15:50,157 --> 00:15:51,825
There it is.
351
00:15:53,494 --> 00:15:55,162
[inaudible dialogue]
352
00:15:55,162 --> 00:15:57,373
Oh, come on!
353
00:15:57,373 --> 00:16:00,292
He isn't free. Isn't going
to be, for you, all day.
354
00:16:05,881 --> 00:16:07,174
I have the plan.
355
00:16:07,174 --> 00:16:08,592
And the authority
to hear you out.
356
00:16:08,592 --> 00:16:09,718
Good, we can go
to your office and--
357
00:16:09,718 --> 00:16:11,303
I'm in with him right now.
358
00:16:11,303 --> 00:16:13,305
Later. Maybe tomorrow.
I'll find you.
359
00:16:19,645 --> 00:16:21,146
[car horns honk]
360
00:16:21,146 --> 00:16:23,148
[indistinct chatter]
361
00:16:26,610 --> 00:16:28,320
[indistinct chatter continues]
362
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:29,655
[woman giggling]
363
00:16:34,535 --> 00:16:36,829
[man laughs]
364
00:16:36,829 --> 00:16:40,165
Hey, Kev, move around.
Let me face the room.
365
00:16:40,165 --> 00:16:41,792
No, Pop, I'm good.
366
00:16:41,792 --> 00:16:44,670
[Senior] If the seat
doesn't suit you, son,
367
00:16:44,670 --> 00:16:46,255
we can retire to my place.
368
00:16:46,255 --> 00:16:47,673
I'll have them
send the food over.
369
00:16:47,673 --> 00:16:49,508
Oh, yeah, we have plenty
in the freezer.
370
00:16:49,508 --> 00:16:52,886
Could reheat last night's
dinner from Le Bernardin.
371
00:16:52,886 --> 00:16:55,180
We have a Gaja
just coming into its own.
372
00:16:55,180 --> 00:16:56,849
Yeah, let's go eat at
Grandpa's.
373
00:16:56,849 --> 00:16:59,226
No. Nonsense.
We will eat right here.
374
00:16:59,226 --> 00:17:00,602
And if it's a chewy Gaja
you want,
375
00:17:00,602 --> 00:17:02,229
let's get that going
right now.
376
00:17:02,229 --> 00:17:04,189
Just go ahead
and take the seat, Chuck.
377
00:17:04,189 --> 00:17:06,442
You know, I'm surprised
you came, Wend.
378
00:17:06,442 --> 00:17:08,902
A pleasant surprise,
but a surprise nonetheless.
379
00:17:08,902 --> 00:17:10,696
I have a work dinner after this,
380
00:17:10,696 --> 00:17:12,656
so I just kind of stopped by
to, you know, be here
381
00:17:12,656 --> 00:17:15,075
for the kids,
say hi to your dad.
382
00:17:15,075 --> 00:17:16,744
Be here for the...
383
00:17:19,413 --> 00:17:21,498
Oh, oh, oh.
384
00:17:21,498 --> 00:17:23,333
It makes sense.
385
00:17:23,333 --> 00:17:26,045
Ah, the super-early bird dinner.
386
00:17:26,045 --> 00:17:28,005
Me facing the wall,
387
00:17:28,005 --> 00:17:30,299
you here as a buffer of sorts
against the world.
388
00:17:30,299 --> 00:17:31,717
I get it now.
389
00:17:33,719 --> 00:17:36,472
Oh, the children don't want
to be seen in public
390
00:17:36,472 --> 00:17:39,058
having dinner
with an indicted man, huh?
391
00:17:40,267 --> 00:17:41,977
We're not embarrassed of you.
392
00:17:41,977 --> 00:17:44,730
Oh, goodness,
you're embarrassed of me.
393
00:17:48,108 --> 00:17:51,653
Remember how it was for you
when I had my troubles?
394
00:17:51,653 --> 00:17:53,489
Perhaps the kids feel that way.
395
00:17:53,489 --> 00:17:56,742
You were a slum lord.
I was doing the public good.
396
00:17:56,742 --> 00:17:58,452
Junior!
397
00:17:58,452 --> 00:18:00,871
Keister. Seat. Now.
398
00:18:04,208 --> 00:18:05,626
[sighs]
399
00:18:10,047 --> 00:18:12,800
It's important
that we all remember:
400
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,178
I am not, and will never be, convicted,
401
00:18:16,178 --> 00:18:19,181
because I have done
nothing wrong.
402
00:18:19,181 --> 00:18:20,891
Totally.
403
00:18:20,891 --> 00:18:24,103
Absolutely, Dad.
You'll always be our father.
404
00:18:34,238 --> 00:18:35,739
[car horn blaring]
405
00:18:35,739 --> 00:18:37,866
[distant woman shouting]
406
00:18:40,828 --> 00:18:42,704
[indistinct chatter]
407
00:18:56,176 --> 00:18:58,804
[Wags]
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Thank you.
408
00:18:58,804 --> 00:19:01,056
Can you get a message to him?
409
00:19:01,056 --> 00:19:03,725
No. He hasn't sent one to me.
410
00:19:03,725 --> 00:19:05,185
It's safer this way.
411
00:19:05,185 --> 00:19:06,478
Why do you need him?
412
00:19:08,981 --> 00:19:10,816
It was one thing to help
keep the trains running
413
00:19:10,941 --> 00:19:14,528
when it was just about Prince
staying rich and getting richer.
414
00:19:14,528 --> 00:19:16,822
But I have decided
that he is dangerous.
415
00:19:19,283 --> 00:19:21,702
And I can't be part
of another strongman
416
00:19:21,702 --> 00:19:22,995
entering the world stage.
417
00:19:22,995 --> 00:19:25,414
Ah. There's always strongmen.
418
00:19:25,414 --> 00:19:27,624
Maybe if you know this one,
you can influence him.
419
00:19:27,624 --> 00:19:29,418
And maybe he ain't that bad.
420
00:19:29,418 --> 00:19:31,461
"Maybe he ain't that bad"
421
00:19:31,461 --> 00:19:33,297
is the war cry
of the meek and the defeated.
422
00:19:33,297 --> 00:19:35,716
It's what got us
the last few fucking winners.
423
00:19:35,716 --> 00:19:38,093
It's the key that unlocks
the door that lets the demons
424
00:19:38,093 --> 00:19:39,845
run free, and I don't want
to be holding it.
425
00:19:39,845 --> 00:19:42,347
So drop it and split.
426
00:19:42,347 --> 00:19:45,475
I would, but that leaves
everyone who works there behind.
427
00:19:45,475 --> 00:19:48,187
I'm not prepared to do that.
428
00:19:49,688 --> 00:19:51,190
And I can't think of anyone else
429
00:19:51,190 --> 00:19:52,524
who could stop Prince's rise.
430
00:19:52,524 --> 00:19:55,027
Axe couldn't when he tried.
431
00:19:55,027 --> 00:19:57,362
Look, the time to think
about this was the before-time.
432
00:19:57,362 --> 00:19:59,281
Wherever he is,
whatever he's doing,
433
00:19:59,281 --> 00:20:01,408
he ain't looking backwards.
434
00:20:05,078 --> 00:20:06,622
Don't you miss him?
435
00:20:06,872 --> 00:20:11,043
That's a bit like asking a
caveman hiding from a dinosaur
436
00:20:11,043 --> 00:20:13,587
if he misses the sun.
Of course he does.
437
00:20:13,587 --> 00:20:15,380
But if he goes outside the cave
when it's light out,
438
00:20:15,380 --> 00:20:17,049
he might get eaten.
439
00:20:17,049 --> 00:20:18,217
The cavemen and the dinosaurs
440
00:20:18,425 --> 00:20:19,718
didn't walk the earth
at the same--
441
00:20:19,718 --> 00:20:21,261
As I can hardly believe we were
442
00:20:21,261 --> 00:20:23,013
really and truly here with him.
443
00:20:24,139 --> 00:20:25,307
The whole world is different.
444
00:20:26,391 --> 00:20:27,726
Yes.
445
00:20:27,726 --> 00:20:31,104
Yes to every single word.
446
00:20:32,940 --> 00:20:34,566
Somehow, we have managed
to keep living
447
00:20:34,566 --> 00:20:35,943
without that warm glow.
448
00:20:37,486 --> 00:20:39,238
[sighs]
But I'll tell you,
449
00:20:39,238 --> 00:20:40,948
it's hard living
without daylight.
450
00:20:42,950 --> 00:20:45,160
And I really need his counsel
451
00:20:46,536 --> 00:20:49,122
on how to at least
direct Prince to not, like,
452
00:20:49,122 --> 00:20:50,916
end the fucking universe.
453
00:20:50,916 --> 00:20:54,253
Maybe it's just not
your problem to solve.
454
00:20:54,253 --> 00:20:57,422
So you're okay with just making
the best of it as is?
455
00:20:59,049 --> 00:21:00,717
I am at Wo Hop
456
00:21:00,717 --> 00:21:02,844
with one of my three
favorite people in the world.
457
00:21:04,805 --> 00:21:07,349
This is about
the best version of me
458
00:21:07,349 --> 00:21:09,184
making the best of it
I know of.
459
00:21:15,148 --> 00:21:17,276
Mm-mm. Mm!
460
00:21:21,029 --> 00:21:22,447
Hey, give us a minute,
would you?
461
00:21:31,164 --> 00:21:32,457
How sure are you?
462
00:21:42,467 --> 00:21:44,094
It might be as simple as this.
463
00:21:44,970 --> 00:21:46,680
There's nothing more dangerous
464
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,807
than a man who's sure
he's never wrong.
465
00:21:51,727 --> 00:21:54,563
Add in the money,
add in the intellect.
466
00:21:54,563 --> 00:21:56,356
Smarts is good.
467
00:21:56,356 --> 00:21:58,275
Not when those smarts are used
to strengthen the idea
468
00:21:58,275 --> 00:22:00,402
that no one else's
opinion counts.
469
00:22:00,736 --> 00:22:02,988
And in add his ability
to lie to himself
470
00:22:02,988 --> 00:22:05,407
about who he really is,
and finally,
471
00:22:05,407 --> 00:22:08,910
fold in a textbook
God complex.
472
00:22:09,202 --> 00:22:10,912
He thinks he's God now?
473
00:22:10,912 --> 00:22:13,415
This is a man who's
accomplished
474
00:22:13,415 --> 00:22:16,335
everything he's ever
set out to do.
475
00:22:16,335 --> 00:22:18,879
Again. That's supposed to be
a good thing.
476
00:22:19,296 --> 00:22:22,174
Yeah, it's good.
Right up until the moment
477
00:22:22,174 --> 00:22:23,800
that he decides that
what he needs to do
478
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,677
is take out Russia
or China
479
00:22:25,677 --> 00:22:28,013
or whoever's next on the list, preemptively.
480
00:22:28,764 --> 00:22:31,183
Or that he really needs to do
481
00:22:31,183 --> 00:22:33,310
is to shut up the dissenters
right here.
482
00:22:33,310 --> 00:22:35,896
And then, suddenly,
he's gassing Des Moines.
483
00:22:35,896 --> 00:22:38,899
But, like, that's what half
the guys in office want to do.
484
00:22:38,899 --> 00:22:40,525
Bureaucracy stops 'em.
485
00:22:40,525 --> 00:22:43,403
Not this guy. He steamrolls it.
486
00:22:43,737 --> 00:22:46,698
My job is to listen to what
these men say
487
00:22:46,698 --> 00:22:48,241
and to parse it.
488
00:22:50,869 --> 00:22:52,412
If he gets there,
489
00:22:52,412 --> 00:22:55,874
he won't be stopped by red tape.
490
00:22:55,874 --> 00:22:59,252
Our only chance is
to stop him beforehand.
491
00:23:01,338 --> 00:23:04,383
Otherwise, in his own words,
the country will scream.
492
00:23:06,259 --> 00:23:09,054
And he'll just keep on going.
493
00:23:09,054 --> 00:23:11,390
Then I hope you find Axe.
494
00:23:11,390 --> 00:23:13,058
Because he is the only one
495
00:23:13,058 --> 00:23:15,060
who might have
a chance to prevent it.
496
00:23:26,530 --> 00:23:27,906
[Wendy] Thank you
for meeting me here.
497
00:23:27,906 --> 00:23:30,075
You offered up a slice of
Joe's.
498
00:23:30,075 --> 00:23:31,535
And you're you.
499
00:23:31,535 --> 00:23:33,203
Who's saying no?
500
00:23:33,203 --> 00:23:34,663
[chuckles]
501
00:23:38,792 --> 00:23:40,794
I need you to get
a message to Bobby.
502
00:23:42,629 --> 00:23:44,256
If I accept your message
503
00:23:44,256 --> 00:23:46,925
and you told a court of law
I accepted it,
504
00:23:46,925 --> 00:23:48,593
they would interpret it
as my having knowledge
505
00:23:48,593 --> 00:23:49,761
of his whereabouts.
506
00:23:49,761 --> 00:23:51,471
I knew you'd say that,
507
00:23:51,471 --> 00:23:53,014
and I asked you here anyway.
508
00:23:53,181 --> 00:23:55,267
Why would you want
to locate him, theoretically?
509
00:23:55,267 --> 00:23:58,895
Same reason you, uh, look up
your exes on Instagram, I guess.
510
00:23:58,895 --> 00:24:00,313
[chuckles]
I don't do that.
511
00:24:00,313 --> 00:24:03,233
Neither do I. But people do.
512
00:24:03,233 --> 00:24:06,736
Makes them feel both connected
and aware of their own growth.
513
00:24:06,736 --> 00:24:09,865
Yeah. That's not why
you want to know.
514
00:24:09,865 --> 00:24:12,284
Everything is murky
right now, Orrin.
515
00:24:12,284 --> 00:24:14,578
Bobby isn't. Never was.
516
00:24:14,578 --> 00:24:16,246
He is clarity.
517
00:24:16,246 --> 00:24:18,957
That is what we need right now.
518
00:24:18,957 --> 00:24:21,626
If by "we" you mean this city,
country and world,
519
00:24:21,626 --> 00:24:23,879
you're damn right we do.
520
00:24:23,879 --> 00:24:27,257
Which is a funny thing to say,
considering he cost me
521
00:24:27,257 --> 00:24:29,092
my good standing with the bar
for six months.
522
00:24:29,092 --> 00:24:31,470
He was worth what he cost.
523
00:24:31,470 --> 00:24:32,971
Is.
524
00:24:32,971 --> 00:24:34,681
I see it the same.
525
00:24:35,265 --> 00:24:38,477
I only wish I was the one
who could deliver him to you.
526
00:24:44,483 --> 00:24:46,526
- You're not?
- I've eaten.
527
00:24:49,488 --> 00:24:51,490
[thunder rumbling]
528
00:25:02,250 --> 00:25:04,127
- [door creaking]
- Festive spot.
529
00:25:05,754 --> 00:25:07,172
Especially
at the witching hour.
530
00:25:07,172 --> 00:25:09,049
Yeah.
531
00:25:09,049 --> 00:25:11,968
Well, like Uncle Junior's
doctor's office,
532
00:25:11,968 --> 00:25:14,012
I have this place.
533
00:25:14,012 --> 00:25:17,849
The final resting spot of
a long line of dead Rhoadeses.
534
00:25:18,308 --> 00:25:22,771
My great-grandfather Elijah.
His wife Tig.
535
00:25:22,771 --> 00:25:24,022
Uh...
536
00:25:24,022 --> 00:25:26,525
Grandpa Crawford.
537
00:25:26,525 --> 00:25:28,360
Uncle Cleveland.
538
00:25:28,360 --> 00:25:31,863
And, uh, that one there
is earmarked for me.
539
00:25:31,863 --> 00:25:34,157
And you might as well
slide me in right now
540
00:25:34,157 --> 00:25:36,952
'cause I am a dead man walking.
541
00:25:36,952 --> 00:25:39,371
Let's not get operatic.
You knew the deal.
542
00:25:39,371 --> 00:25:41,831
What I knew was you were
going to tell me the deal.
543
00:25:41,831 --> 00:25:45,710
So I signed, as anyone would
when the choice was steel bars,
544
00:25:45,710 --> 00:25:47,212
but I'm still waiting.
545
00:25:47,337 --> 00:25:49,422
It's better out here
than where you were.
546
00:25:52,259 --> 00:25:54,052
All right,
let's not do it like this.
547
00:25:54,052 --> 00:25:55,887
I want to find
areas of agreement.
548
00:25:55,887 --> 00:25:57,556
Yes, it is better out here,
549
00:25:57,556 --> 00:26:00,642
but now I need
to really understand your plan
550
00:26:00,642 --> 00:26:01,977
so I can go along--
551
00:26:01,977 --> 00:26:03,812
No, no.
552
00:26:03,812 --> 00:26:05,355
Not going to reveal
the whole thing.
553
00:26:05,355 --> 00:26:07,148
- [laughs]
- I'm just going to do it.
554
00:26:07,148 --> 00:26:09,150
You play your part better
555
00:26:09,150 --> 00:26:10,443
the less you know
about how I'm working it.
556
00:26:10,443 --> 00:26:12,571
I can have all the info.
557
00:26:12,571 --> 00:26:14,739
That way, I not only
play the scene,
558
00:26:14,739 --> 00:26:16,491
I play the whole film.
559
00:26:16,491 --> 00:26:18,910
That shit might work
in a fucking Michael Bay movie,
560
00:26:18,910 --> 00:26:20,745
but this...
561
00:26:20,745 --> 00:26:22,747
this needs to be Kubrick.
562
00:26:22,747 --> 00:26:25,208
Quiet and creeping,
563
00:26:25,208 --> 00:26:27,294
and then suddenly shocking
and perfect.
564
00:26:27,502 --> 00:26:30,088
Dave, I'd never second-guess
a player like you,
565
00:26:30,088 --> 00:26:32,048
but I need be free
of this bullshit
566
00:26:32,048 --> 00:26:34,009
sooner rather than later.
567
00:26:34,009 --> 00:26:36,511
All right.
I heard you in court.
568
00:26:36,511 --> 00:26:38,430
And you know
who else heard you?
569
00:26:38,430 --> 00:26:40,015
Mikey Prince.
570
00:26:40,015 --> 00:26:42,017
So while I'm insistent
on my stance,
571
00:26:42,017 --> 00:26:43,768
I will give you this much:
572
00:26:43,768 --> 00:26:45,729
I am making inroads
at his company,
573
00:26:45,729 --> 00:26:48,189
with his employees.
574
00:26:48,189 --> 00:26:50,442
I get close,
I bleed them for info.
575
00:26:50,442 --> 00:26:52,277
And not the kind of info
they think they're giving me,
576
00:26:52,277 --> 00:26:53,945
but the kind we need.
577
00:26:53,945 --> 00:26:56,740
And you just keep playing possum
578
00:26:56,740 --> 00:26:58,783
in the crosshairs of justice.
579
00:26:58,783 --> 00:27:00,744
[scoffs]
580
00:27:00,744 --> 00:27:02,495
What you're doing
581
00:27:02,495 --> 00:27:04,623
is key to my gaining their
confidence, so keep it up.
582
00:27:04,623 --> 00:27:06,207
[sighs]
583
00:27:06,207 --> 00:27:07,834
See you tomorrow.
584
00:27:07,834 --> 00:27:10,086
Or is that already today?
585
00:27:10,086 --> 00:27:13,298
To me, it's all one long day
run together
586
00:27:13,298 --> 00:27:15,800
since I was put
on the chain gang.
587
00:27:18,219 --> 00:27:20,430
[Dave, sighing]
Oh, my God.
588
00:27:28,521 --> 00:27:30,940
The strategy I built
for Taylor Mason Carbon
589
00:27:30,940 --> 00:27:33,151
was designed to play out
over longer than a few years.
590
00:27:33,151 --> 00:27:34,944
The results aren't in yet,
591
00:27:34,944 --> 00:27:36,321
but I'm feeling
a "results now" vibe here.
592
00:27:36,321 --> 00:27:37,947
Prince says
you should revamp it.
593
00:27:37,947 --> 00:27:40,241
Transfer the investments over
that still apply.
594
00:27:40,241 --> 00:27:41,993
It's all the same
ownership anyway.
595
00:27:41,993 --> 00:27:43,995
This isn't satisfying,
talking to the lawyer.
596
00:27:43,995 --> 00:27:45,330
It's true, and that's
exactly what you sound like:
597
00:27:45,330 --> 00:27:46,623
the lawyer.
598
00:27:46,623 --> 00:27:48,249
That's a sad characterization.
599
00:27:48,249 --> 00:27:49,918
I'll get over that
on my own time.
600
00:27:49,918 --> 00:27:52,170
And to be honest, nobody
owes you an explanation.
601
00:27:52,170 --> 00:27:54,005
Legally, Prince can do
what he wants to your entity.
602
00:27:54,005 --> 00:27:55,382
He controls it.
603
00:27:55,632 --> 00:27:58,510
But I am here explaining,
listening, as a courtesy.
604
00:27:58,510 --> 00:28:01,096
Because we're all
throwing in here now, right?
605
00:28:01,096 --> 00:28:03,723
You on the financial side,
me on the operations side.
606
00:28:03,723 --> 00:28:05,475
So don't think of me
as the lawyer,
607
00:28:05,475 --> 00:28:07,769
think of me as a part
of Prince's brain.
608
00:28:07,769 --> 00:28:10,146
He's downloaded the things
he wants me on top of.
609
00:28:10,146 --> 00:28:11,815
Whatever happened
in that interrogation room
610
00:28:11,815 --> 00:28:13,483
- clearly forged a bond.
- It's true.
611
00:28:13,483 --> 00:28:15,443
I guess you come apart
at the seams and blubber
612
00:28:15,443 --> 00:28:17,529
all over your lawyer's
shoulder, you get tight.
613
00:28:17,529 --> 00:28:18,947
Is that what happened?
Like Cutler and Gotti?
614
00:28:18,947 --> 00:28:20,240
Or Von Bülow and Dersh.
615
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,450
You won't get a rise out of me,
616
00:28:22,450 --> 00:28:25,078
but what you're missing is
this is good for you.
617
00:28:25,078 --> 00:28:27,455
You're not being partitioned
or siloed off anymore.
618
00:28:27,455 --> 00:28:28,998
You run this entire place.
619
00:28:28,998 --> 00:28:32,210
Trade how you like,
within the parameters,
620
00:28:32,210 --> 00:28:34,963
but, uh, the expectations
are for a field-beating year.
621
00:28:34,963 --> 00:28:38,508
So my crew, computer-driven
and ESG-focused airborne troops
622
00:28:38,508 --> 00:28:40,135
are expected to wade
into the long-short mud
623
00:28:40,135 --> 00:28:41,720
like infantry grunts and win?
624
00:28:42,011 --> 00:28:44,013
That's something I'll have
to go back to Prince with
625
00:28:44,013 --> 00:28:45,807
and, uh, swing back to you.
626
00:28:45,807 --> 00:28:47,434
[Philip] Better that we see him
and press him on that.
627
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,894
Have to convince him to keep
our internal structure
628
00:28:49,894 --> 00:28:51,229
and offices intact.
629
00:28:51,229 --> 00:28:52,897
[power tools whirring]
630
00:28:52,897 --> 00:28:55,900
Yeah, you might be
a little late for that.
631
00:29:01,656 --> 00:29:03,241
[man]
Wait, that's our wall.
632
00:29:06,703 --> 00:29:08,121
Hey.
633
00:29:15,587 --> 00:29:17,547
So I get someone there
to turn.
634
00:29:17,547 --> 00:29:19,174
Who's the most likely,
in your opinion, Chuck,
635
00:29:19,174 --> 00:29:22,218
to know enough
but also to be willing to roll?
636
00:29:22,218 --> 00:29:24,554
All those guys will roll if
the leverage is strong enough,
637
00:29:24,554 --> 00:29:26,014
don't you think, big guy?
638
00:29:26,014 --> 00:29:28,767
The old Uncle Mike
quote applies.
639
00:29:28,767 --> 00:29:30,268
"The plan crumbles upon
impact."
640
00:29:30,268 --> 00:29:31,978
Think he said it
a little more colorfully.
641
00:29:31,978 --> 00:29:33,646
- [chuckling] Hard to imagine.
- [knock on door]
642
00:29:35,356 --> 00:29:36,691
We have a situation.
643
00:29:36,691 --> 00:29:38,401
Reporter out there.
644
00:29:38,401 --> 00:29:40,945
Was signed in by an
assistant AG on a pretext,
645
00:29:40,945 --> 00:29:43,573
blew right by the assistant AG
and marched over to me.
646
00:29:43,573 --> 00:29:46,785
Guy says you need to see him.
If you don't, bad for you.
647
00:29:46,785 --> 00:29:48,203
I can meet him in the lobby.
648
00:29:48,203 --> 00:29:50,246
Says he followed
Mr. Rhoades here.
649
00:29:50,246 --> 00:29:52,707
Knows you are together.
Wants to talk to both of you.
650
00:29:52,707 --> 00:29:54,209
Send one
of the comms people, too.
651
00:29:54,209 --> 00:29:56,461
Reporter said
he'll file his story
652
00:29:56,461 --> 00:29:57,962
the moment he sees
a comms person,
653
00:29:57,962 --> 00:30:00,632
and that it'll explode
like Tex Cobb
654
00:30:00,632 --> 00:30:01,966
in Raising Arizona.
655
00:30:03,343 --> 00:30:06,054
Get him. Bring him slow.
656
00:30:06,054 --> 00:30:07,472
We need to rearrange ourselves
657
00:30:07,472 --> 00:30:09,474
so this looks like
a plea conference.
658
00:30:17,857 --> 00:30:19,317
Oh, fuck. This guy.
659
00:30:19,317 --> 00:30:20,777
You got that right.
660
00:30:20,777 --> 00:30:22,529
- This guy.
- [Chuck sighs]
661
00:30:22,529 --> 00:30:24,322
Only with a different angle.
662
00:30:24,322 --> 00:30:27,492
Hello, Attorney General Mahar.
My name is Lucien Porter.
663
00:30:27,492 --> 00:30:30,495
- I write for--
- I know who you are, Mr. Porter.
664
00:30:30,495 --> 00:30:32,330
But you have to know,
665
00:30:32,330 --> 00:30:33,998
you can't just barge
into a plea conference.
666
00:30:33,998 --> 00:30:37,502
And you have to know,
Miss Mahar, I-I just did.
667
00:30:37,502 --> 00:30:39,212
What do you want?
668
00:30:39,212 --> 00:30:44,050
I want to see both
of your reactions to this.
669
00:30:44,050 --> 00:30:46,719
And any response you may have.
670
00:30:46,719 --> 00:30:48,179
Are we off the record?
671
00:30:48,179 --> 00:30:50,515
Oh, no, we are as on the record
672
00:30:50,515 --> 00:30:55,353
as BB King at Sun Studios in
1950 cutting "Mistreated Woman."
673
00:30:55,353 --> 00:30:57,272
[laughs]
674
00:30:57,272 --> 00:30:58,982
Yeah, the king of the blues
675
00:30:58,982 --> 00:31:00,775
recorded there years before
Elvis the King.
676
00:31:00,775 --> 00:31:02,485
But let's not get off track.
677
00:31:02,485 --> 00:31:04,195
Uh, I'm gonna walk my client
out of here
678
00:31:04,195 --> 00:31:05,947
unless you can
give me reason not to.
679
00:31:05,947 --> 00:31:07,282
How's this for reason:
680
00:31:08,908 --> 00:31:11,202
I have come to think
the world was wrong
681
00:31:11,202 --> 00:31:14,205
about Charles
"Chuck" Rhoades, Jr.
682
00:31:16,749 --> 00:31:19,335
A point of possible agreement. Fascinating.
683
00:31:19,335 --> 00:31:20,587
Wrong how?
684
00:31:20,587 --> 00:31:22,755
Well, I think what I,
685
00:31:22,755 --> 00:31:24,924
and the rest of the world, missed,
686
00:31:24,924 --> 00:31:27,844
is that this man
is a crusader.
687
00:31:28,928 --> 00:31:30,179
[Dave]
A criminal
688
00:31:30,179 --> 00:31:31,931
twice removed from office.
689
00:31:31,931 --> 00:31:34,225
You just made my point.
690
00:31:34,225 --> 00:31:37,186
What if working inside the
structure of the government,
691
00:31:37,186 --> 00:31:39,272
especially in the years
under discussion,
692
00:31:39,272 --> 00:31:42,191
it wasn't possible to really do
the people's bidding
693
00:31:42,191 --> 00:31:44,986
while following
the letter of the law?
694
00:31:45,778 --> 00:31:48,406
I have sources
who have told me--
695
00:31:48,406 --> 00:31:51,576
compelling
and convincing sources--
696
00:31:51,576 --> 00:31:54,412
that Mr. Rhoades
was twice removed
697
00:31:54,412 --> 00:31:56,915
because he refused
to back down to power.
698
00:31:58,541 --> 00:32:01,002
That he was determined
to bring to justice
699
00:32:01,002 --> 00:32:03,087
those few that control all.
700
00:32:03,087 --> 00:32:05,423
Normally,
I'd be thrilled by this,
701
00:32:05,423 --> 00:32:07,884
but I don't trust
your agenda, man.
702
00:32:07,884 --> 00:32:09,427
Good instinct.
703
00:32:09,427 --> 00:32:10,887
[Porter]
I'd see it same from your seat,
704
00:32:10,887 --> 00:32:12,889
Chuck, but I've watched it.
705
00:32:12,889 --> 00:32:14,766
You're the only one who stood
up to the billionaires
706
00:32:14,766 --> 00:32:16,935
with more than words.
707
00:32:18,561 --> 00:32:20,897
The only one who paid a price.
708
00:32:20,897 --> 00:32:23,608
Twice removed,
as the attorney general said,
709
00:32:23,608 --> 00:32:25,568
prosecuted now,
and for what?
710
00:32:25,568 --> 00:32:26,986
[Dave]
For breaking the law.
711
00:32:26,986 --> 00:32:30,490
I prosecute infractions,
not intentions.
712
00:32:30,490 --> 00:32:33,284
That'll be your quote then.
713
00:32:33,284 --> 00:32:35,244
Rhoades, you want
to say something?
714
00:32:35,244 --> 00:32:37,997
Nah. I'm not talking to you.
715
00:32:37,997 --> 00:32:41,000
Even as I agree
that I have been railroaded,
716
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,795
I'm gonna fight my case
and win in court,
717
00:32:43,795 --> 00:32:46,464
and then go about my business.
718
00:32:46,464 --> 00:32:49,342
As you should go about yours,
Mr. Porter, out there,
719
00:32:49,342 --> 00:32:51,469
and leave me to mine in here.
720
00:32:51,469 --> 00:32:55,181
I'll go, but that doesn't mean
I'm leaving you.
721
00:32:55,181 --> 00:32:58,559
Oh. Set that sentiment to music,
722
00:32:58,559 --> 00:33:00,979
and maybe you'll make something
out of your writing.
723
00:33:00,979 --> 00:33:02,563
- [chuckles]
- Goodbye.
724
00:33:13,199 --> 00:33:14,993
It's him. Big Red.
725
00:33:14,993 --> 00:33:16,160
Is he sending out a flare?
726
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:17,745
Does he want us to see?
727
00:33:17,745 --> 00:33:19,330
If he didn't,
how would I spot it?
728
00:33:19,539 --> 00:33:21,791
Were you chiefing up at the
moment of this big revelation?
729
00:33:21,791 --> 00:33:24,085
That's an insulting question.
And hurtful.
730
00:33:24,085 --> 00:33:25,670
Why does it have to be
that I was chiefing up?
731
00:33:25,878 --> 00:33:28,006
You've been known to partake,
even during work hours.
732
00:33:28,006 --> 00:33:31,300
The idea that I can't hold my
weed is the disrespectful part.
733
00:33:31,300 --> 00:33:33,803
Okay, Mafee,
how did you spot it?
734
00:33:33,803 --> 00:33:37,473
[Mafee] Now, I did happen to be
chiefing up, as discussed--
735
00:33:37,473 --> 00:33:39,392
enjoying some
Nautical Twilight,
736
00:33:39,392 --> 00:33:42,061
as a matter of fact--
at the time I saw it.
737
00:33:42,061 --> 00:33:43,938
- [typing]
- No.
738
00:33:45,064 --> 00:33:46,315
Couldn't be.
739
00:33:48,234 --> 00:33:49,360
No way.
740
00:33:51,070 --> 00:33:52,363
But maybe.
741
00:33:52,363 --> 00:33:55,199
So I switched to a sativa
742
00:33:55,199 --> 00:33:57,410
to think through this one.
743
00:33:57,410 --> 00:33:59,287
Diablo Wind, which,
744
00:33:59,287 --> 00:34:00,830
despite its frightening
and evil-sounding name,
745
00:34:00,830 --> 00:34:02,498
is actually cerebral
and perfect
746
00:34:02,498 --> 00:34:03,708
for getting things done.
747
00:34:03,875 --> 00:34:05,084
- [Taylor] Mafee!
- Sorry. Anyway...
748
00:34:05,084 --> 00:34:06,711
at first I'm thinking
749
00:34:06,711 --> 00:34:08,379
I'm looking at some
noise trader.
750
00:34:08,379 --> 00:34:10,298
But then I notice
a technical component to it.
751
00:34:10,298 --> 00:34:12,383
But the sizing was too great.
752
00:34:12,383 --> 00:34:15,053
Yet it wasn't an institution.
753
00:34:15,053 --> 00:34:16,971
- And then...
- When the smoke cleared?
754
00:34:16,971 --> 00:34:20,058
...I realized I was looking
at Semi-Strong Form Efficiency.
755
00:34:20,058 --> 00:34:21,726
Let me see.
756
00:34:21,726 --> 00:34:24,854
Whoever it was, he was fast,
aggressive, sure-footed.
757
00:34:24,854 --> 00:34:27,857
You know I know Axe's trading
style better than anyone.
758
00:34:27,857 --> 00:34:30,735
I've studied it. And this is
him. I'm sure of it.
759
00:34:30,735 --> 00:34:32,570
Uh-huh.
760
00:34:32,570 --> 00:34:34,072
Who put you up
to looking, Mafee?
761
00:34:34,072 --> 00:34:37,575
No. No, this was on my own.
762
00:34:37,575 --> 00:34:40,369
But I didn't want to, like,
commit to the idea
763
00:34:40,369 --> 00:34:42,246
that it was him
without running it by you.
764
00:34:42,246 --> 00:34:44,415
I wasn't going to
tell anyone about it.
765
00:34:44,415 --> 00:34:46,626
Wasn't, you know, tasked.
766
00:34:52,006 --> 00:34:53,508
[computer chimes]
767
00:34:55,510 --> 00:34:57,303
- Oh. Hello.
- [Taylor] Help me figure out
768
00:34:57,303 --> 00:35:00,139
who asked Mafee to find Axe
through Axe's trades.
769
00:35:00,139 --> 00:35:03,142
I did it. I need to reach him,
but he's gone to ground.
770
00:35:03,142 --> 00:35:05,436
So I figured
he could track him,
771
00:35:05,436 --> 00:35:06,854
and then you could bait him,
using what Mafee knows.
772
00:35:06,854 --> 00:35:08,773
[Taylor]
No. No one could bait him.
773
00:35:08,773 --> 00:35:11,150
And no way Mafee sees this
if Axe didn't want to be seen.
774
00:35:13,111 --> 00:35:14,445
Just a sec.
775
00:35:15,446 --> 00:35:16,864
[phone vibrating]
776
00:35:16,864 --> 00:35:19,575
Ah, the Count Basie Orchestra
777
00:35:19,575 --> 00:35:21,035
together again.
778
00:35:21,035 --> 00:35:22,787
Only the Count himself
is missing.
779
00:35:22,787 --> 00:35:25,289
Here's how I figure it.
780
00:35:25,289 --> 00:35:29,210
You followed protocol,
said he was unreachable,
781
00:35:29,210 --> 00:35:30,628
then told him
I wanted to connect
782
00:35:30,628 --> 00:35:32,296
because you can reach him,
783
00:35:32,296 --> 00:35:34,215
and then he had to have
a little fun.
784
00:35:34,215 --> 00:35:36,134
Ah.
785
00:35:36,134 --> 00:35:38,719
Did Mafee notice a certain
signature trading style
786
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:40,388
in the energy sector?
787
00:35:40,388 --> 00:35:42,140
I was right!
Fuck yeah!
788
00:35:42,140 --> 00:35:43,266
I knew there was something
about that guy.
789
00:35:43,266 --> 00:35:44,559
Chief on that.
790
00:35:44,851 --> 00:35:47,979
I think the big guy just
wanted to know how serious
791
00:35:47,979 --> 00:35:50,439
you were about connecting.
And now he does.
792
00:35:50,439 --> 00:35:53,484
I am tempted to engage in
all of this, but not enough.
793
00:35:53,484 --> 00:35:56,654
I'm done with intrigue,
with palace coups.
794
00:35:56,654 --> 00:35:58,322
I just want to keep
building my war chest.
795
00:35:58,322 --> 00:35:59,824
Just keep making money
and strengthening my rep
796
00:35:59,824 --> 00:36:01,033
in this fucking business,
797
00:36:01,242 --> 00:36:03,161
which is becoming
increasingly difficult
798
00:36:03,161 --> 00:36:04,662
with the latest bullshit
at the firm.
799
00:36:05,037 --> 00:36:07,790
We're not done
talking about this.
800
00:36:07,790 --> 00:36:09,000
We are for now.
801
00:36:11,627 --> 00:36:13,171
But it is weirdly
perfect timing, Mafee,
802
00:36:13,171 --> 00:36:14,964
I'll grant you that.
803
00:36:14,964 --> 00:36:16,465
I've been thinking about you
and your shop.
804
00:36:16,465 --> 00:36:17,842
Its demise, really.
805
00:36:22,847 --> 00:36:25,558
[cell phone buzzes]
806
00:36:28,227 --> 00:36:29,854
[laughs]
807
00:36:30,897 --> 00:36:32,106
Wow.
808
00:36:34,984 --> 00:36:36,360
Hello, Pop.
809
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,112
[laughs]
810
00:36:38,112 --> 00:36:41,282
Oh, no, I will accept
your congratulations for sure,
811
00:36:41,282 --> 00:36:43,618
- even as this is a small--
- [call waiting beeps]
812
00:36:43,618 --> 00:36:45,453
Oh, I got another call
coming in.
813
00:36:45,453 --> 00:36:46,787
Let me get you back.
814
00:36:48,372 --> 00:36:49,707
Eisen!
815
00:36:49,832 --> 00:36:52,293
Capital to hear from you,
my good m--
816
00:36:52,501 --> 00:36:55,087
And thank you for letting me
know you saw it.
817
00:36:55,087 --> 00:36:56,464
Yes.
818
00:36:56,839 --> 00:36:58,633
It is good to see that the
right story is finally--
819
00:36:58,633 --> 00:37:02,220
- [knock on door]
- Uh, there's my front door.
820
00:37:02,220 --> 00:37:03,721
Yeah.
821
00:37:03,721 --> 00:37:05,056
Okay.
822
00:37:06,182 --> 00:37:07,725
Back to you soon, pal.
823
00:37:08,726 --> 00:37:10,561
[chuckles]
824
00:37:11,812 --> 00:37:13,356
Holy fuckballs.
825
00:37:13,356 --> 00:37:16,776
That Lucien Porter,
he did it!
826
00:37:16,776 --> 00:37:18,027
- This piece...
- Hmm.
827
00:37:18,027 --> 00:37:19,654
...this piece basically says
828
00:37:19,654 --> 00:37:21,530
you're the Robin Hood
of New York City.
829
00:37:21,530 --> 00:37:24,158
It says you were the only
person in the city, the country,
830
00:37:24,158 --> 00:37:25,993
who risked personal welfare
831
00:37:25,993 --> 00:37:27,912
to try to put the crooked
billionaires away.
832
00:37:27,912 --> 00:37:29,580
Well, I was.
833
00:37:29,580 --> 00:37:31,332
I am.
834
00:37:32,959 --> 00:37:34,585
You...
835
00:37:34,585 --> 00:37:37,421
you acted surprised
when Porter barged in.
836
00:37:37,421 --> 00:37:39,674
But you weren't, were you?
837
00:37:39,674 --> 00:37:44,095
Well, get to our age, nothing
much surprises, does it?
838
00:37:44,095 --> 00:37:46,722
- If this gets momentum...
- Sure.
839
00:37:46,722 --> 00:37:49,267
If everything lined up just so,
840
00:37:49,267 --> 00:37:52,144
if this really was the time for
me to assume my rightful pl--
841
00:37:55,147 --> 00:37:57,775
The message that Porter
is putting out in the world,
842
00:37:57,775 --> 00:38:00,987
that the very government I was
supposed to be working for
843
00:38:00,987 --> 00:38:04,198
instead fought against me
to stop me from doing
844
00:38:04,198 --> 00:38:06,617
the exact thing
the people wanted...
845
00:38:06,617 --> 00:38:08,452
They're holding him up
as a hero
846
00:38:08,452 --> 00:38:10,162
who actually does
what he says.
847
00:38:10,329 --> 00:38:13,374
...arresting bad-faith actors
of great wealth and power,
848
00:38:13,374 --> 00:38:16,168
well, now who knows
what could sprout from that.
849
00:38:16,168 --> 00:38:18,379
Students who got
a taste of fairness
850
00:38:18,379 --> 00:38:21,632
when they thought their loans
would be forgiven
851
00:38:21,632 --> 00:38:23,759
might take to the streets!
852
00:38:24,093 --> 00:38:27,930
I could see your Al Sharptons
and your Nicole Wallaces
853
00:38:27,930 --> 00:38:29,557
getting into the act.
854
00:38:29,557 --> 00:38:33,436
Your Warrens, your Sanderses,
your AOCs.
855
00:38:34,812 --> 00:38:36,647
All righteously outraged
856
00:38:36,647 --> 00:38:39,400
that a true champion
who tried to carry their fight
857
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:40,985
was snuffed out.
858
00:38:40,985 --> 00:38:43,237
This might make
that same champion
859
00:38:43,237 --> 00:38:47,450
into the kind of public hero
who's very hard to keep down.
860
00:38:47,450 --> 00:38:48,993
[no audible dialogue]
861
00:38:48,993 --> 00:38:52,496
Yeah, and even harder
to prosecute.
862
00:38:52,496 --> 00:38:55,166
The president's going to let
the State of New York decide
863
00:38:55,166 --> 00:38:57,835
whether this case against
Mr. Rhoades is warranted.
864
00:38:57,835 --> 00:39:00,046
So you set all that up, too,
didn't you?
865
00:39:00,046 --> 00:39:01,839
It's gonna happen.
866
00:39:02,214 --> 00:39:07,011
Once again, I think it's fair
to say it won't surprise me.
867
00:39:26,614 --> 00:39:28,032
I have a spot in my pod
if you're interested.
868
00:39:28,032 --> 00:39:29,784
I've clocked
some of your trades.
869
00:39:29,784 --> 00:39:31,410
I like what I see.
870
00:39:31,577 --> 00:39:34,455
Okay, rad. I've come to see you
are a many-sided figure.
871
00:39:34,455 --> 00:39:37,708
I mean, more than the eyes
and ears first.
872
00:39:37,708 --> 00:39:40,378
- Uh, cool. We'll join you.
- Yeah, cool, where do we--?
873
00:39:40,378 --> 00:39:41,837
There's one seat available.
874
00:39:41,837 --> 00:39:43,172
One.
875
00:39:43,172 --> 00:39:44,715
Both of us together,
or neither.
876
00:39:49,720 --> 00:39:51,013
I'm gonna go with neither.
877
00:39:51,013 --> 00:39:52,598
Good luck.
878
00:39:55,601 --> 00:39:57,895
That was really heartening,
the way you backed me.
879
00:39:57,895 --> 00:39:59,563
It reminded me
of seventh grade
880
00:39:59,563 --> 00:40:01,399
when I was the new kid
in the cafeteria and--
881
00:40:01,399 --> 00:40:03,067
Save it, s'il vous plaît.
That's French.
882
00:40:03,067 --> 00:40:04,735
Hold the roll, you two.
883
00:40:04,735 --> 00:40:06,695
We're not accepting
this new reality.
884
00:40:06,695 --> 00:40:08,072
Find a place to post up
for the moment
885
00:40:08,072 --> 00:40:09,615
until I can talk to Prince.
886
00:40:12,493 --> 00:40:14,787
Pod next to us is open.
887
00:40:14,787 --> 00:40:16,247
We can compare notes.
888
00:40:16,247 --> 00:40:17,415
Yeah. I know what it's like
889
00:40:17,415 --> 00:40:19,208
being a bird without a nest.
890
00:40:19,208 --> 00:40:20,459
It sucks.
891
00:40:21,669 --> 00:40:23,129
Mmm.
892
00:40:25,923 --> 00:40:27,425
In my envisioning,
893
00:40:27,425 --> 00:40:29,218
this isn't like
a hierarchal thing.
894
00:40:29,218 --> 00:40:31,554
This is just like two guys
making decisions together.
895
00:40:31,554 --> 00:40:33,472
Two alphas.
896
00:40:33,472 --> 00:40:35,933
Pearl and Clyde in the Knicks
backcourt together.
897
00:40:35,933 --> 00:40:37,601
Earl "the Pearl" Monroe
sacrificed ten points a game
898
00:40:37,601 --> 00:40:39,437
to come to New York.
899
00:40:39,437 --> 00:40:41,397
I mean, he went from being
the leader of the team
900
00:40:41,397 --> 00:40:43,274
and top scorer in the league
901
00:40:43,274 --> 00:40:45,276
to being the third option
on Clyde's team.
902
00:40:45,443 --> 00:40:47,778
Do you want me to be the third
option on Michael Prince's team?
903
00:40:47,778 --> 00:40:49,989
They won championships, Mark.
And with all the good
904
00:40:49,989 --> 00:40:51,615
that you're doing
with the drug thing--
905
00:40:51,615 --> 00:40:54,618
The drug thing
is Cost Plus Drugs.
906
00:40:54,618 --> 00:40:56,203
If you're going to run
for the top slot,
907
00:40:56,203 --> 00:40:57,538
if you're going
to run the press gauntlet,
908
00:40:57,538 --> 00:40:59,457
you're going to do that.
909
00:40:59,457 --> 00:41:01,959
I'm just putting it out there
that we could do it together.
910
00:41:01,959 --> 00:41:05,754
Announce a year before anybody
puts their VP list together.
911
00:41:05,754 --> 00:41:07,465
I take the bulk
of the scrutiny,
912
00:41:07,465 --> 00:41:09,633
and we are kicking butt
like Nick Bockwinkel
913
00:41:09,633 --> 00:41:11,969
and Ray "the Crippler" Stevens.
914
00:41:11,969 --> 00:41:15,139
Look, I'm more a Terry Funk
guy, but regardless.
915
00:41:15,139 --> 00:41:17,308
The only thing that matters
more to me than my country
916
00:41:17,308 --> 00:41:19,018
is my family.
917
00:41:19,018 --> 00:41:20,603
And there's just no way
I'm gonna put them
918
00:41:20,603 --> 00:41:22,188
through an election cycle.
919
00:41:22,188 --> 00:41:25,274
Especially not to be your VP
or anybody's VP.
920
00:41:26,901 --> 00:41:28,527
But, you know,
I really get the sense
921
00:41:28,527 --> 00:41:30,988
that you asked me up here
just to find out
922
00:41:30,988 --> 00:41:32,990
if I was gonna run
against you.
923
00:41:32,990 --> 00:41:35,826
You really just wanted to
confirm that the coast was
924
00:41:35,826 --> 00:41:38,496
clear for you to run
as an independent.
925
00:41:38,496 --> 00:41:40,539
Well, I'm not, and it is.
926
00:41:40,539 --> 00:41:41,999
But come on, Mike.
927
00:41:41,999 --> 00:41:44,376
Next time,
just call me and ask me.
928
00:41:44,376 --> 00:41:46,712
Save us both some time, okay?
929
00:41:52,051 --> 00:41:54,011
I assume you've seen this?
930
00:41:54,011 --> 00:41:56,722
Ah, the epic tale of our city's
very own Eliot Ness.
931
00:41:56,722 --> 00:41:58,516
[Dave] Do you know
where it will lead?
932
00:41:58,516 --> 00:42:00,184
Because I do.
933
00:42:00,184 --> 00:42:02,353
Into the annals of folklore.
934
00:42:02,353 --> 00:42:04,313
Which is not where I want
to take my prosecution.
935
00:42:04,313 --> 00:42:06,690
- No, it can't be an accident.
- I saw it going down.
936
00:42:06,690 --> 00:42:08,234
It didn't turn out
the way I thought.
937
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:10,194
Isn't that, like,
Chuck's specialty?
938
00:42:10,194 --> 00:42:12,613
Look, we both want this guy
found guilty,
939
00:42:12,613 --> 00:42:14,114
which is what
you were promising to do.
940
00:42:14,114 --> 00:42:15,533
What is it you want me
to do about it?
941
00:42:15,533 --> 00:42:17,660
You're a brilliant player.
942
00:42:17,660 --> 00:42:19,370
Make some of them bold moves.
943
00:42:19,370 --> 00:42:21,330
Make the Bezos play.
944
00:42:21,330 --> 00:42:23,207
- Buy the paper?
- Yeah!
945
00:42:23,207 --> 00:42:26,001
But go farther than him.
Kill stories like this.
946
00:42:26,001 --> 00:42:28,212
Have them write
the opposite ones.
947
00:42:28,212 --> 00:42:30,214
Yeah, a purchase like that
doesn't fit my needs right now.
948
00:42:30,214 --> 00:42:32,675
Nor does taking shrapnel
for steering the editorial bent
949
00:42:32,675 --> 00:42:33,926
of a major paper.
950
00:42:33,926 --> 00:42:35,844
Oh, of course, I forgot.
951
00:42:35,844 --> 00:42:38,722
Is it too soon to start
calling you Mr. President?
952
00:42:38,722 --> 00:42:41,684
It is. But it's not too soon
for you to put Chuck away,
953
00:42:41,684 --> 00:42:43,352
which is what
you promised to do,
954
00:42:43,352 --> 00:42:44,937
instead of leaving openings
for him to exploit.
955
00:42:44,937 --> 00:42:47,064
I don't tell you what stocks
to buy and when,
956
00:42:47,064 --> 00:42:48,607
so you can save
your dime-store critique
957
00:42:48,607 --> 00:42:50,484
of my case-building, dude.
958
00:42:53,779 --> 00:42:55,114
Sorry to interrupt, but this
959
00:42:55,114 --> 00:42:57,074
is about business of the day.
960
00:42:57,074 --> 00:42:59,159
You were told to wait, to talk
to Sacker and Scooter and Wags.
961
00:42:59,159 --> 00:43:00,703
We did talk.
962
00:43:00,703 --> 00:43:02,746
Guess it didn't take.
963
00:43:02,746 --> 00:43:04,415
We were told you wanted us
to run your company,
964
00:43:04,415 --> 00:43:05,916
so we need to talk to you
about it.
965
00:43:05,916 --> 00:43:07,167
I'm... I'm sorry
about this timing,
966
00:43:07,167 --> 00:43:08,586
but this is kind of urgent.
967
00:43:08,586 --> 00:43:09,670
- If you could--
- [Dave] Yeah, yeah.
968
00:43:09,670 --> 00:43:11,505
Thanks, Mike.
969
00:43:11,505 --> 00:43:13,799
Seems like everything's
running great for you.
970
00:43:18,554 --> 00:43:20,598
The whole idea was that you
weren't going to micromanage.
971
00:43:20,598 --> 00:43:22,516
This is macro.
972
00:43:22,516 --> 00:43:24,351
The whole place, right?
The structure of the place.
973
00:43:24,351 --> 00:43:26,103
The physical plant.
974
00:43:26,103 --> 00:43:28,230
Within that structure,
you two make the calls.
975
00:43:28,230 --> 00:43:30,357
- Stepped right into that one.
- But you are right.
976
00:43:30,357 --> 00:43:33,277
This is an operations call,
and we are operating the firm.
977
00:43:33,277 --> 00:43:34,820
Except our square peg personnel
978
00:43:34,820 --> 00:43:36,905
are getting muscled
into round holes.
979
00:43:36,905 --> 00:43:38,741
This functioned perfectly
in a separate--
980
00:43:38,741 --> 00:43:41,285
I can't-- we can't have
two different vehicles.
981
00:43:41,285 --> 00:43:42,578
It can't appear
that you have split focus,
982
00:43:42,578 --> 00:43:43,621
and you can't have split focus.
983
00:43:43,621 --> 00:43:45,164
Because you're going to.
984
00:43:45,164 --> 00:43:46,457
I focus fully on whatever
I'm looking at.
985
00:43:46,457 --> 00:43:48,292
And when those walls came down,
986
00:43:48,292 --> 00:43:49,752
you had to know
they weren't going back up.
987
00:43:49,752 --> 00:43:51,962
- So, what do you want?
- Let me.
988
00:43:53,881 --> 00:43:55,924
Taylor, Philip,
989
00:43:55,924 --> 00:43:59,219
this whole place needs to feel
that it is looking to you two,
990
00:43:59,219 --> 00:44:00,721
and that you two
are looking back.
991
00:44:00,721 --> 00:44:02,348
A direct engagement.
992
00:44:02,348 --> 00:44:04,266
And you know who else
needs to feel that,
993
00:44:04,266 --> 00:44:07,978
that you are wholly,
100% invested in making money,
994
00:44:07,978 --> 00:44:11,148
gobs of it,
for Michael Prince Capital?
995
00:44:11,148 --> 00:44:13,025
Is that guy right there.
996
00:44:14,860 --> 00:44:16,487
It's the one thing
that will free him
997
00:44:16,487 --> 00:44:18,906
to go and get done
that which he must.
998
00:44:23,369 --> 00:44:24,870
For all of us.
999
00:44:31,794 --> 00:44:33,003
What she said.
1000
00:44:35,714 --> 00:44:38,008
Fine. We accept the new
conditions, but with a demand.
1001
00:44:38,008 --> 00:44:40,177
We need to make
a key hire or two
1002
00:44:40,177 --> 00:44:41,804
of the kind of folks
who understand
1003
00:44:41,804 --> 00:44:43,347
that whole
"gobs of money" thing.
1004
00:44:43,347 --> 00:44:44,515
Especially in--
even in the kind of markets
1005
00:44:44,515 --> 00:44:45,724
we are dealing with now.
1006
00:44:45,724 --> 00:44:46,975
I'll meet your prospectives,
1007
00:44:46,975 --> 00:44:48,227
just to rubber-stamp--
1008
00:44:48,227 --> 00:44:49,978
No way.
Unless we fuck one up,
1009
00:44:50,354 --> 00:44:52,398
we hire who we want to fulfill
our needs. That's our condition.
1010
00:44:52,398 --> 00:44:54,525
[Philip] And we need to be able
to get time with you
1011
00:44:54,525 --> 00:44:56,193
when we need counsel.
Sacker is great.
1012
00:44:56,193 --> 00:44:58,153
You're great, Kate.
As are Scooter and Wags.
1013
00:44:58,153 --> 00:44:59,571
But there are big decisions
we will need
1014
00:44:59,571 --> 00:45:00,864
the direct Mike magic on.
1015
00:45:01,073 --> 00:45:02,783
You'll keep Wags and Scooter informed.
1016
00:45:02,783 --> 00:45:05,661
And Sacker on anything legal
or legal adjacent.
1017
00:45:05,661 --> 00:45:08,414
And I'll make myself
available weekly.
1018
00:45:08,414 --> 00:45:10,791
But you two need
to run this place profitably
1019
00:45:10,791 --> 00:45:14,461
while I work on banging
this country back into shape.
1020
00:45:14,461 --> 00:45:17,047
It's been said one is either
a hammer or an anvil.
1021
00:45:18,674 --> 00:45:20,050
Good people have been
the anvil for too long.
1022
00:45:34,189 --> 00:45:36,316
I know you're tight with them,
that you have relationships,
1023
00:45:36,316 --> 00:45:38,861
and it's no fun taking the
position you have to on this.
1024
00:45:38,861 --> 00:45:41,321
But it's necessary,
and I appreciate it.
1025
00:45:41,321 --> 00:45:43,157
Hey, I'm your house counsel.
1026
00:45:43,157 --> 00:45:46,702
The gig is to protect you
against all threats,
1027
00:45:46,702 --> 00:45:48,412
foreign and domestic.
1028
00:45:48,412 --> 00:45:50,289
And I can't get
to where I'm going
1029
00:45:50,289 --> 00:45:52,207
until you get to where
you're going first.
1030
00:45:58,464 --> 00:45:59,590
You hear that shit?
1031
00:46:00,215 --> 00:46:01,425
Hammer and anvil?
1032
00:46:01,633 --> 00:46:03,552
That's fucking Hitler
from Munich in '29.
1033
00:46:04,887 --> 00:46:06,263
Is he hoping
people won't notice,
1034
00:46:06,263 --> 00:46:07,431
or that they will?
1035
00:46:07,765 --> 00:46:09,725
[scoffs] I'm not sure.
1036
00:46:11,769 --> 00:46:13,771
But we've got to
figure this the fuck out.
1037
00:46:17,065 --> 00:46:19,026
The jig is up
The news is out
1038
00:46:19,026 --> 00:46:22,029
They've finally found me
1039
00:46:22,029 --> 00:46:23,864
The renegade
Who had it made
1040
00:46:23,864 --> 00:46:25,949
Retrieved for a bounty
1041
00:46:25,949 --> 00:46:28,452
- [Dollar Bill] Working here!
- It'll only take a minute.
1042

["Renegade" by Styx
blaring loudly]
1043
00:46:30,913 --> 00:46:32,289
What the fuck?
1044
00:46:32,289 --> 00:46:34,291
I got to nail
the doggy door shut.
1045
00:46:34,291 --> 00:46:36,210
Your wife let us in.
1046
00:46:39,838 --> 00:46:41,465
[turns music off]
1047
00:46:41,673 --> 00:46:44,468
Who's he, your dentist?
1048
00:46:44,468 --> 00:46:45,803
I don't even know
what that means.
1049
00:46:45,803 --> 00:46:47,387
We've met, like, twice.
1050
00:46:47,387 --> 00:46:48,514
What happened?
1051
00:46:48,722 --> 00:46:50,265
You had a whole office
and a company.
1052
00:46:50,265 --> 00:46:51,975
Now you have a garage
and a bathrobe.
1053
00:46:51,975 --> 00:46:54,144
If I think the word "blowjob,"
1054
00:46:54,144 --> 00:46:56,647
I want to be able
to say the word "blowjob."
1055
00:46:56,647 --> 00:46:59,191
- Naturally.
- You're trying to be funny,
1056
00:46:59,191 --> 00:47:00,776
but you get it, right?
1057
00:47:00,776 --> 00:47:02,528
I mean, the Street these days,
1058
00:47:02,528 --> 00:47:05,531
it's a woke fucking preschool.
1059
00:47:05,531 --> 00:47:07,866
You miss rolling out mats
for naptime
1060
00:47:07,866 --> 00:47:10,619
and skip juice boxes once,
it's a major fucking felony.
1061
00:47:10,619 --> 00:47:13,163
You had culture problems
at the office.
1062
00:47:13,163 --> 00:47:15,123
Culture. Ugh.
1063
00:47:15,123 --> 00:47:17,793
You either earn,
or you do not.
1064
00:47:17,793 --> 00:47:19,837
And you started losing your
analysts, then your traders,
1065
00:47:19,837 --> 00:47:21,380
and even your back office.
1066
00:47:21,380 --> 00:47:22,798
Then your outside money.
1067
00:47:22,798 --> 00:47:24,633
- Then, even Mafee.
- He told you?
1068
00:47:24,633 --> 00:47:26,343
I smelled it on him.
1069
00:47:26,343 --> 00:47:28,178
Well, despite all that bullshizzle,
1070
00:47:28,178 --> 00:47:29,680
I'm still a gunslinger.
1071
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:31,181
And a gunslinger's
what we need.
1072
00:47:31,181 --> 00:47:32,933
[scoffs] For what?
1073
00:47:32,933 --> 00:47:34,518
Philip and I run Michael
Prince Capital together.
1074
00:47:34,518 --> 00:47:36,436
Yeah, I heard something
about that.
1075
00:47:36,436 --> 00:47:38,480
Props to you.
1076
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:40,232
We're here to offer you
a PM job.
1077
00:47:41,984 --> 00:47:43,986
- Is that right?
- [Taylor] Yes.
1078
00:47:43,986 --> 00:47:45,863
We'd start you off
with your own book,
1079
00:47:45,863 --> 00:47:47,531
20% more capital under
management than when you left.
1080
00:47:47,531 --> 00:47:49,700
Yeah, and what about
the Great Gazoo over there?
1081
00:47:49,700 --> 00:47:51,451
How long before he starts
getting up in my business?
1082
00:47:51,451 --> 00:47:52,953
You mean Prince? He won't.
He left it to us.
1083
00:47:53,161 --> 00:47:54,830
It's true.
He's busy with other projects.
1084
00:47:54,830 --> 00:47:56,790
And while he did dictate
overall expectations,
1085
00:47:56,790 --> 00:47:58,500
he leaves the strat
and execution to us.
1086
00:47:58,500 --> 00:48:01,295
A lot of latitude.
A lot of freedom.
1087
00:48:01,295 --> 00:48:04,882
Yeah, I know latitude
means freedom in this context.
1088
00:48:08,343 --> 00:48:09,720
Can I say "blowjob"?
1089
00:48:09,720 --> 00:48:11,805
Yes, but not to anyone.
1090
00:48:11,805 --> 00:48:13,265
Yeah, not in anyone's presence,
1091
00:48:13,265 --> 00:48:14,725
but you can think it
loud as you want.
1092
00:48:14,725 --> 00:48:16,476
Then I pass.
1093
00:48:16,476 --> 00:48:18,395
- So you're happy here?
- Like a pig in shit.
1094
00:48:18,395 --> 00:48:21,106
Blowjob, blowjob, blowjob!
1095
00:48:21,106 --> 00:48:23,650
The jig is up
The news is out
1096
00:48:23,650 --> 00:48:26,528
They've finally found me
1097
00:48:26,528 --> 00:48:28,405
The renegade
Who had it made
1098
00:48:28,405 --> 00:48:30,699
Retrieved For a bounty
1099
00:48:37,873 --> 00:48:39,082
[clears throat]
1100
00:48:42,461 --> 00:48:43,921
Oh.
1101
00:48:43,921 --> 00:48:46,006
Now that's my kind of approach.
1102
00:48:46,006 --> 00:48:47,549
We were supposed
to be in this together,
1103
00:48:47,549 --> 00:48:49,343
but you decided
to go off-roading.
1104
00:48:49,343 --> 00:48:51,178
Well, you made me ashamed
to be seen in public.
1105
00:48:51,178 --> 00:48:52,429
Divided my family.
1106
00:48:52,429 --> 00:48:54,264
And you shut me out.
1107
00:48:54,264 --> 00:48:56,224
It created a vacuum of trust.
1108
00:48:56,224 --> 00:48:59,895
Chuck, this is making
my job harder.
1109
00:48:59,895 --> 00:49:01,730
And you were the one
who wanted to take him down
1110
00:49:01,730 --> 00:49:03,315
- in the first place.
- Yeah.
1111
00:49:03,315 --> 00:49:04,858
I am the one
supposed to take him down.
1112
00:49:04,858 --> 00:49:06,526
Or maybe I'll do nothing.
1113
00:49:06,526 --> 00:49:08,862
Either way,
I won't do it in custody.
1114
00:49:08,862 --> 00:49:10,989
[whispering]
Oh, my God.
1115
00:49:10,989 --> 00:49:13,533
You're a student of history,
so you know that Federal Hall
1116
00:49:13,533 --> 00:49:15,827
was the original seat
of government in the colonies.
1117
00:49:15,827 --> 00:49:17,955
Sure. It's where
George Washington
1118
00:49:17,955 --> 00:49:19,623
took the first oath of office.
1119
00:49:19,623 --> 00:49:22,960
Bunch of very conflicted men
with a lot of flaws.
1120
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:24,252
Lots.
1121
00:49:24,252 --> 00:49:25,963
To be sure.
1122
00:49:25,963 --> 00:49:27,881
But they were trying
to transcend themselves
1123
00:49:27,881 --> 00:49:29,883
with what they were doing in
there, what they were building.
1124
00:49:29,883 --> 00:49:33,220
They weren't doing it so that
one day a bunch of plutocrats
1125
00:49:33,220 --> 00:49:35,639
could live with more power
than the king they'd fled.
1126
00:49:35,639 --> 00:49:37,849
You set this whole thing up,
didn't you?
1127
00:49:37,849 --> 00:49:39,977
Even though you were under
a gag order.
1128
00:49:39,977 --> 00:49:41,812
Maybe for once,
something just worked out.
1129
00:49:41,812 --> 00:49:45,148
No. There are calls for
your release all over the city.
1130
00:49:45,148 --> 00:49:47,317
Politicians.
Civic leaders.
1131
00:49:47,317 --> 00:49:49,236
There are goddamn marches
being planned,
1132
00:49:49,236 --> 00:49:52,072
making it real tough
to empanel an unbiased jury.
1133
00:49:52,072 --> 00:49:54,157
I've got the governor
on my call sheet,
1134
00:49:54,157 --> 00:49:56,076
and I have a feeling
I know what it's about:
1135
00:49:56,076 --> 00:49:57,744
dropping the case against you.
1136
00:49:57,744 --> 00:49:59,663
I were in your shoes,
1137
00:49:59,663 --> 00:50:01,665
I'd tell them
to fuck themselves.
1138
00:50:01,665 --> 00:50:04,126
Of course, we know where
that attitude got me.
1139
00:50:04,126 --> 00:50:06,670
Bounced out of office. Twice.
1140
00:50:06,670 --> 00:50:09,339
You're making your only friend
into your enemy.
1141
00:50:09,339 --> 00:50:10,841
Not the first time.
1142
00:50:31,570 --> 00:50:33,280
All right, you motherfuckers!
1143
00:50:34,406 --> 00:50:36,533
When that bell rings,
I'm coming out of the gates
1144
00:50:36,533 --> 00:50:37,993
like I ain't been fed
for a week.
1145
00:50:37,993 --> 00:50:39,703
Better try and stay with me
1146
00:50:39,703 --> 00:50:41,204
or get ready to look
real fucking bad
1147
00:50:41,204 --> 00:50:42,706
come comp time.
1148
00:50:47,085 --> 00:50:48,754
I'm not sure I like this.
1149
00:50:48,754 --> 00:50:50,464
Am I supposed
to like this?
1150
00:50:50,464 --> 00:50:52,090
Like you said,
we had to give them something.
1151
00:50:52,090 --> 00:50:53,800
This guy, though?
1152
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:55,218
I can't have a whiff
of how he used to do it.
1153
00:50:55,218 --> 00:50:56,928
I can't have it.
1154
00:50:56,928 --> 00:50:58,722
I'll be sure to keep him
on a tight leash.
1155
00:50:58,722 --> 00:51:00,057
Make it a choke collar.
1156
00:51:00,057 --> 00:51:01,224
[slight chuckle]
1157
00:51:06,605 --> 00:51:08,398
[Chuck]
This smells good, doesn't it?
1158
00:51:10,233 --> 00:51:11,902
- [woman] Hi, Chuck.
- Nice to see you, Chuck.
1159
00:51:12,110 --> 00:51:14,237
- It's great to see you.
- Everybody's talking about you.
1160
00:51:14,237 --> 00:51:16,323
Well, that's good to hear.
Thank you.
1161
00:51:19,451 --> 00:51:21,870
You seem to be
enjoying yourself.
1162
00:51:21,870 --> 00:51:23,747
Well, you do the right thing
for the right reason,
1163
00:51:23,747 --> 00:51:26,458
the rest just seems
to take care of itself.
1164
00:51:26,458 --> 00:51:28,919
It's supposed to, yes.
1165
00:51:28,919 --> 00:51:30,629
- Hey, care to join us?
- No.
1166
00:51:30,629 --> 00:51:33,048
I just, uh, came to drop off
Eva's bag.
1167
00:51:33,048 --> 00:51:34,424
She left it at my place.
1168
00:51:34,424 --> 00:51:36,384
She's staying
with you tonight.
1169
00:51:36,384 --> 00:51:37,886
- I have a thing came up at work.
- You know, old days,
1170
00:51:38,136 --> 00:51:40,472
busy as you were, you rarely
missed a night with the kids.
1171
00:51:40,472 --> 00:51:43,433
Old days. Yeah, well,
a lot was different.
1172
00:51:43,433 --> 00:51:45,602
Uh-huh. Bye.
1173
00:51:52,067 --> 00:51:54,444
[indistinct chatter]
1174
00:51:54,444 --> 00:51:55,946
[tour guide]
Right this way, folks.
1175
00:51:55,946 --> 00:51:57,614
I know, it's impressive,
isn't it?
1176
00:51:57,614 --> 00:51:59,574
- Very old.
- [man] It's crazy.
1177
00:51:59,574 --> 00:52:02,119
[tour guide] Keep together
for a good look at the tower.
1178
00:52:02,119 --> 00:52:05,455
At various times a prison,
1179
00:52:05,455 --> 00:52:09,084
a fortress,
a royal residence.
1180
00:52:09,084 --> 00:52:10,752
For hundreds of years,
1181
00:52:10,752 --> 00:52:13,088
this was the start
of a procession
1182
00:52:13,088 --> 00:52:14,589
to Westminster Abbey
1183
00:52:14,589 --> 00:52:17,551
for the coronation
of a new monarch.
1184
00:52:17,551 --> 00:52:19,177
[Axe]
Stirring spot, isn't it?
1185
00:52:25,142 --> 00:52:27,477
And I think I understand
why you picked it.
1186
00:52:29,354 --> 00:52:35,026
But I was surprised
this was the meet.
1187
00:52:35,026 --> 00:52:37,112
I thought I'd have to take
a longer flight to see you.
1188
00:52:37,112 --> 00:52:39,322
Maybe blindfolded,
1189
00:52:39,322 --> 00:52:41,324
so I couldn't lead them
back to you, even under duress.
1190
00:52:41,324 --> 00:52:43,201
[chuckles]
1191
00:52:43,201 --> 00:52:45,328
Well, you know,
geopolitics is fluid.
1192
00:52:47,038 --> 00:52:48,832
Early in the conflict,
1193
00:52:48,832 --> 00:52:52,210
Ukraine wanted Javelin
anti-tanks, other things.
1194
00:52:52,210 --> 00:52:54,129
Western governments weren't
able to get them there first.
1195
00:52:54,129 --> 00:52:56,131
You?
1196
00:52:56,131 --> 00:52:57,674
Structured the deal.
1197
00:52:59,342 --> 00:53:01,178
Took care of the financing.
Arranged a friend--
1198
00:53:01,178 --> 00:53:03,013
a guy you would not expect--
1199
00:53:03,013 --> 00:53:06,683
to find and deliver
the actual arms.
1200
00:53:07,684 --> 00:53:09,477
Bought me a great deal
of goodwill
1201
00:53:09,477 --> 00:53:11,479
all across the continent,
EU and here.
1202
00:53:11,479 --> 00:53:13,815
Who's better than you
at seeing something like that
1203
00:53:13,815 --> 00:53:15,442
and figuring out
how to make a trade of it?
1204
00:53:15,442 --> 00:53:18,069
Your guy Prince
must be better, right?
1205
00:53:19,321 --> 00:53:20,906
Don't call him my guy.
1206
00:53:22,741 --> 00:53:23,950
Even for you, that's harsh.
1207
00:53:24,117 --> 00:53:25,327
You're at that company
every day.
1208
00:53:25,327 --> 00:53:27,120
He must be doing
something right.
1209
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:28,622
I didn't come over here
for the cracks.
1210
00:53:28,622 --> 00:53:30,123
I came over here
for your help, Bobby.
1211
00:53:31,625 --> 00:53:32,876
Walk away.
1212
00:53:32,876 --> 00:53:34,294
Not how I roll.
1213
00:53:35,712 --> 00:53:38,173
We built that place,
you and me.
1214
00:53:38,173 --> 00:53:39,549
If I leave...
1215
00:53:39,549 --> 00:53:41,551
Look, it's still intact,
for now.
1216
00:53:41,551 --> 00:53:43,595
But it won't be if the guy
who's running it
1217
00:53:43,595 --> 00:53:44,888
keeps going the way he is.
1218
00:53:44,888 --> 00:53:46,723
The people
won't be intact.
1219
00:53:46,723 --> 00:53:48,725
What am I supposed to do,
fix it?
1220
00:53:48,725 --> 00:53:51,603
It's not just the firm
I'm worried about.
1221
00:53:51,603 --> 00:53:53,063
I'm worried the damage
he's going to do
1222
00:53:53,063 --> 00:53:54,898
is even greater outside.
1223
00:53:54,898 --> 00:53:56,942
But, yeah, let's...
let's start with figuring out
1224
00:53:56,942 --> 00:53:59,152
how we protect
the thing that we made.
1225
00:54:01,863 --> 00:54:04,950
If that's why you've come,
you're not alone.
1226
00:54:11,206 --> 00:54:13,375
["London Calling"
by the Clash playing]
1227
00:54:13,375 --> 00:54:14,584
Well, shit.
1228
00:54:16,795 --> 00:54:18,713
Look what we have here.
1229
00:54:18,713 --> 00:54:20,507
Luke, Leia, and Chewie.
1230
00:54:23,301 --> 00:54:25,804
All that's missing is Han
and the Millennium Falcon.
1231
00:54:30,058 --> 00:54:32,227
I guess that's
where I come in.
1232
00:54:32,227 --> 00:54:35,605
London calling
To the faraway towns
1233
00:54:35,605 --> 00:54:39,567
Now war is declared
And battle come down
1234
00:54:39,567 --> 00:54:42,821
London calling
To the underworld
1235
00:54:42,821 --> 00:54:45,949
Come out of the cupboard
You boys and girls
1236
00:54:45,949 --> 00:54:50,078
London calling
Now don't look to us
1237
00:54:50,078 --> 00:54:53,915
Phony Beatlemania
Has bitten the dust
1238
00:54:53,915 --> 00:54:57,335
London calling
See, we ain't got no swing
1239
00:54:57,335 --> 00:55:00,797
Except for the ring
Of the truncheon thing
1240
00:55:00,797 --> 00:55:04,551
The ice age is coming
The sun's zooming in
1241
00:55:04,551 --> 00:55:08,305
Meltdown expected
The wheat is growing thin
1242
00:55:08,305 --> 00:55:11,474
Engines stop running
But I have no fear
1243
00:55:11,474 --> 00:55:13,268
'Cause London is drowning
1244
00:55:13,268 --> 00:55:17,147
And I live by the river
1245
00:55:17,147 --> 00:55:20,942
London calling
To the imitation zone
1246
00:55:20,942 --> 00:55:24,404
Forget it, brother
You can go it alone
1247
00:55:24,404 --> 00:55:27,824
London calling
To the zombies of death
1248
00:55:27,824 --> 00:55:30,410
Quit holding out
And draw...
