1
00:00:05,685 --> 00:00:07,846
Previously on <i>Billions.</i>

2
00:00:07,888 --> 00:00:09,487
Truman had a sign on his desk

3
00:00:09,529 --> 00:00:11,409
that said,
"The buck stops here."

4
00:00:11,451 --> 00:00:14,492
Mine's gonna say,
"I am the buck."

5
00:00:14,534 --> 00:00:16,374
It's one thing to help keep
the trains running

6
00:00:16,416 --> 00:00:18,496
when it was just about Prince
staying rich and getting richer.

7
00:00:18,538 --> 00:00:20,538
But I have decided
that he is dangerous.

8
00:00:20,580 --> 00:00:22,660
Mr. Rhoads,
charges are dismissed.

9
00:00:22,702 --> 00:00:24,302
You are free to go.

10
00:00:24,344 --> 00:00:25,984
<i>What's got your eye?</i>

11
00:00:26,026 --> 00:00:27,465
You must be fielding job offers
by the dozen.

12
00:00:27,507 --> 00:00:29,427
I'm talking about US Attorney,

13
00:00:29,469 --> 00:00:31,830
Southern district of New York.

14
00:00:31,872 --> 00:00:33,912
-This guy's a fuckin' badass!
-Olé!

15
00:00:33,954 --> 00:00:35,954
This is the best thing that's
ever happened on this floor.

16
00:00:35,996 --> 00:00:38,116
He's got that
"Winston Dick Energy" happening.

17
00:00:38,158 --> 00:00:39,797
<i>And when we win,</i>

18
00:00:39,839 --> 00:00:41,840
you'll be feted
as a miracle worker.

19
00:00:41,882 --> 00:00:43,601
You're not a politician.

20
00:00:43,643 --> 00:00:45,363
You're hoping to contribute
by doing a public service.

21
00:00:45,405 --> 00:00:47,005
A statesman.

22
00:00:47,047 --> 00:00:49,049
Let's do this!

23
00:00:49,890 --> 00:00:51,329
Mr. President.

24
00:00:51,371 --> 00:00:54,853
It is an honour to hear from you.

25
00:01:33,613 --> 00:01:35,493
Hi, Mr. Wagner.

26
00:01:35,535 --> 00:01:37,817
Let's see what's
in the old footlocker, Omar.

27
00:01:38,858 --> 00:01:40,298
Let me get you your bottle.

28
00:02:12,292 --> 00:02:14,294
Here's your bottle.

29
00:02:16,216 --> 00:02:18,456
Ladies and gentlemen,

30
00:02:18,498 --> 00:02:21,261
the author himself,
Michael Lewis.

31
00:02:22,542 --> 00:02:24,542
So the street has changed.

32
00:02:24,584 --> 00:02:27,465
It's been cleaned up. Sanitised.

33
00:02:27,507 --> 00:02:29,147
I mean, no one says
"fuck" anymore.

34
00:02:29,189 --> 00:02:31,229
They've taken the strippers off

35
00:02:31,271 --> 00:02:32,790
the trading floors.

36
00:02:32,832 --> 00:02:35,393
In a way,
the lie has gone deeper

37
00:02:35,435 --> 00:02:36,874
because no one on the outside

38
00:02:36,916 --> 00:02:38,596
looks the way they are
on the inside.

39
00:02:38,638 --> 00:02:42,520
Except for you. I think of you
as the last holdout.

40
00:02:42,562 --> 00:02:44,682
The last wolves
in wolves' clothing.

41
00:02:44,724 --> 00:02:47,165
The last crass motherfuckers.

42
00:02:47,207 --> 00:02:49,767
So in that spirit,

43
00:02:49,809 --> 00:02:51,889
let's raise a glass
to crass motherfuckers

44
00:02:51,931 --> 00:02:53,972
and the 35th anniversary
of <i>Liar's Poker.</i>

45
00:02:58,058 --> 00:03:00,258
What a beautiful con
you've pulled, Lewis.

46
00:03:00,300 --> 00:03:02,900
They all think <i>Liar's Poker</i> was
a love letter to them. Kudos.

47
00:03:02,942 --> 00:03:05,623
It wasn't a con, Wags.
I just wrote it the way it was.

48
00:03:05,665 --> 00:03:07,225
And people see in it
what they want to see.

49
00:03:07,267 --> 00:03:09,787
Hmm. Like disco balls
and coke mirrors.

50
00:03:09,829 --> 00:03:10,868
Salut.

51
00:03:12,912 --> 00:03:14,832
Hey, you really got us right.
Thanks.

52
00:03:14,874 --> 00:03:16,434
You're gonna have to
tell me your name.

53
00:03:16,476 --> 00:03:18,478
-Clark.
-Ah, Clark.

54
00:03:21,121 --> 00:03:23,521
Eric fuckin' Scott.

55
00:03:23,563 --> 00:03:26,324
Wags!

56
00:03:26,366 --> 00:03:27,965
Glad to see you haven't
decamped to Florida yet

57
00:03:28,007 --> 00:03:29,167
like the the rest of 'em.

58
00:03:29,209 --> 00:03:30,848
I must love taxes

59
00:03:30,890 --> 00:03:33,051
and a bodega
bacon, egg and cheese.

60
00:03:33,093 --> 00:03:35,413
That's why I'm still
slugging it out in Gotham.

61
00:03:35,455 --> 00:03:37,575
No, the rumour is
your guy's rolling in Europe.

62
00:03:37,617 --> 00:03:39,537
New guy, new money now.

63
00:03:39,579 --> 00:03:43,381
And I'm making room in the Ark
for a select few old friends.

64
00:03:43,423 --> 00:03:46,104
Mike Wagner playing pitchman?
Sad.

65
00:03:46,146 --> 00:03:47,545
Maybe New York is dead
after all

66
00:03:47,587 --> 00:03:49,227
and I should be packing
for Brickell.

67
00:03:49,269 --> 00:03:51,829
I'm not selling you
a Veg-O-Matic here, buddy.

68
00:03:51,871 --> 00:03:53,911
I'm giving you a chance
to turn your wad over

69
00:03:53,953 --> 00:03:55,955
a last time or two.

70
00:03:56,916 --> 00:03:58,076
Let's drink on this.

71
00:03:58,118 --> 00:03:59,717
You are a legend, Wags,

72
00:03:59,759 --> 00:04:02,440
so I wanna hear you out.

73
00:04:02,482 --> 00:04:04,522
You're the guy that ran up
a tab so high at Ponte's

74
00:04:04,564 --> 00:04:07,125
that Joe almost had to take
out a mob loan

75
00:04:07,167 --> 00:04:09,527
just to keep serving
those angry lobsters.

76
00:04:09,569 --> 00:04:11,209
Oh, Ponte's was nothing.

77
00:04:11,251 --> 00:04:13,010
Do you remember when
you went to Career Day

78
00:04:13,052 --> 00:04:14,892
for that escort's kid?

79
00:04:14,934 --> 00:04:17,855
What was that, '96?
That fucking killed me.

80
00:04:17,897 --> 00:04:19,817
Her name was Claire.
She was special to me.

81
00:04:19,859 --> 00:04:21,299
Right, Claire.

82
00:04:21,341 --> 00:04:22,660
You hired her for, uh,

83
00:04:22,702 --> 00:04:24,382
that Tiger Cub's
bachelor party.

84
00:04:24,424 --> 00:04:26,464
Oh, that's right.
The poor guy got simplex

85
00:04:26,506 --> 00:04:28,025
on his lip on his wedding day.

86
00:04:28,067 --> 00:04:30,668
You hired him
'cause you felt so bad.

87
00:04:30,710 --> 00:04:32,270
Yeah, till he tanked
one quarter

88
00:04:32,312 --> 00:04:34,272
and Wags used his desk
as a urinal.

89
00:04:34,314 --> 00:04:35,793
Well, there was a day

90
00:04:35,835 --> 00:04:37,395
you stepped wrong
on Wags' trading floor,

91
00:04:37,437 --> 00:04:41,399
and he would bloody you up
like Jake the Muss.

92
00:04:41,441 --> 00:04:43,161
I can still walk the walk.

93
00:04:43,203 --> 00:04:44,482
Mm.

94
00:04:44,524 --> 00:04:46,043
You should hear me on this:

95
00:04:46,085 --> 00:04:50,047
Michael Prince Capital
is where you want to be.

96
00:04:50,089 --> 00:04:51,929
We're not taking on
institutional money,

97
00:04:51,971 --> 00:04:54,612
but like I said...

98
00:04:54,654 --> 00:04:56,454
I can get exceptions made
for you lugs.

99
00:04:56,496 --> 00:04:58,096
And I'll make some room
in the fund

100
00:04:58,138 --> 00:04:59,697
for some of your clients,
but only the A-listers.

101
00:04:59,739 --> 00:05:01,459
Make you look like superstars.

102
00:05:01,501 --> 00:05:04,462
You always did have
the best ideas about...

103
00:05:04,504 --> 00:05:06,144
which club to hit
after the Super Bowl,

104
00:05:06,186 --> 00:05:09,227
or where to get the best
space cakes in Amsterdam.

105
00:05:09,269 --> 00:05:10,948
And he killed it
'cause that fucking attitude

106
00:05:10,990 --> 00:05:13,191
drove you like Max Verstappen.

107
00:05:13,233 --> 00:05:14,712
No offence, but now...

108
00:05:14,754 --> 00:05:18,075
you got about as much edge
as Barry Manilow.

109
00:05:18,117 --> 00:05:19,717
Offence fucking taken.

110
00:05:19,759 --> 00:05:21,199
Hey, hey, hey,

111
00:05:21,241 --> 00:05:22,840
everybody gets left behind
at some point.

112
00:05:22,882 --> 00:05:24,842
You privately embrace
your obsolescence

113
00:05:24,884 --> 00:05:26,884
and hope nobody
notices for a while.

114
00:05:26,926 --> 00:05:28,766
Speak for yourself,
motherfucker.

115
00:05:28,808 --> 00:05:30,528
It was one thing when
you worked for a bad ass,

116
00:05:30,570 --> 00:05:32,290
but now you're in
a politician's stable,

117
00:05:32,332 --> 00:05:36,654
which is one step away
from the fucking glue factory.

118
00:05:36,696 --> 00:05:39,337
Keep talking
and I'll mollywop ya right here

119
00:05:39,379 --> 00:05:41,381
in front of the whole gang.

120
00:05:42,502 --> 00:05:45,823
I'll wait a while
for the Cialis to kick in.

121
00:05:45,865 --> 00:05:47,665
Hey, Omar,

122
00:05:47,707 --> 00:05:49,867
put my bottle back
in the locker.

123
00:05:49,909 --> 00:05:51,028
Let these assholes go back

124
00:05:51,070 --> 00:05:53,072
to choking on their usual swill.

125
00:05:57,357 --> 00:05:59,517
Well, he got fucking sensitive.

126
00:05:59,559 --> 00:06:01,719
You couldn't buy it
for yourself,

127
00:06:01,761 --> 00:06:03,803
so I figured I would.

128
00:06:10,690 --> 00:06:12,692
It's perfect.

129
00:06:14,974 --> 00:06:16,093
Heading out?

130
00:06:16,135 --> 00:06:17,655
Yeah, but you might not want to

131
00:06:17,697 --> 00:06:19,136
leave the office for a while.

132
00:06:19,178 --> 00:06:21,939
Oh, the going away thing, yeah.

133
00:06:21,981 --> 00:06:24,224
Scooter's got it.
I-I have something else.

134
00:06:34,794 --> 00:06:38,276
Gratitude, shame, entitlement,

135
00:06:38,318 --> 00:06:41,599
these are our...

136
00:06:41,641 --> 00:06:43,681
I don't really
traffic in that crap.

137
00:06:43,723 --> 00:06:47,205
No, on this occasion,
the eve of my departure,

138
00:06:47,247 --> 00:06:49,727
I would like to say
to you all...

139
00:06:49,769 --> 00:06:52,730
I would like to say:
You're welcome,

140
00:06:52,772 --> 00:06:54,652
for all that I've
brought to MPC.

141
00:06:54,694 --> 00:06:59,176
And in the words of
the great poet DJ Khaled,

142
00:06:59,218 --> 00:07:01,619
"Every time I step
up in the building,

143
00:07:01,661 --> 00:07:03,981
everybody hands go up,

144
00:07:04,023 --> 00:07:05,503
and they stay there.

145
00:07:05,545 --> 00:07:08,426
'Cause all I do is win."

146
00:07:08,468 --> 00:07:12,270
Anyone else care
to say something?

147
00:07:12,312 --> 00:07:14,512
-You sure?
-Is it weird that I'll miss him?

148
00:07:14,554 --> 00:07:16,754
-Objectively, yes.
-Right?

149
00:07:16,796 --> 00:07:19,477
-Yeah, fuck you, Winston.
-But after the "Princident,"

150
00:07:19,519 --> 00:07:21,759
Winston was the only one
who looked at me the same way.

151
00:07:21,801 --> 00:07:23,281
But that way was slavish
and pathetic.

152
00:07:23,323 --> 00:07:25,122
Don't be shy.
Anybody?

153
00:07:25,164 --> 00:07:27,365
Anybody?

154
00:07:27,407 --> 00:07:29,126
Okay, then. I'll just say
one more thing.

155
00:07:29,168 --> 00:07:31,689
Ah, actually, Winston,
I have something to share.

156
00:07:31,731 --> 00:07:33,010
Is Prince coming?

157
00:07:33,052 --> 00:07:35,613
Uh, no. No, he's not.

158
00:07:35,655 --> 00:07:37,815
He's... not.

159
00:07:37,857 --> 00:07:40,097
But he did ask me
to convey to you

160
00:07:40,139 --> 00:07:42,940
that you truly have been
a member of this...

161
00:07:42,982 --> 00:07:44,662
-Team!
-He said "organisation."

162
00:07:44,704 --> 00:07:46,223
He usually calls it a team.

163
00:07:46,265 --> 00:07:48,267
This time he went
with organisation.

164
00:07:49,188 --> 00:07:51,349
And so, yeah.

165
00:07:51,391 --> 00:07:53,393
Goodbye and thanks.

166
00:08:11,611 --> 00:08:13,613
Goodbye.

167
00:08:28,468 --> 00:08:30,948
I hate it. And you're proposing
to send a copy of it

168
00:08:30,990 --> 00:08:33,911
to Chuck Rhoades?
I hate everything about that.

169
00:08:33,953 --> 00:08:35,793
Can you figure out
why I love it?

170
00:08:35,835 --> 00:08:37,837
Are you that good?

171
00:08:38,438 --> 00:08:40,758
Okay. Okay.

172
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,160
The purpose of
a Super PAC is to get

173
00:08:43,202 --> 00:08:45,963
high-net-worth supporters
to invest in your candidacy

174
00:08:46,005 --> 00:08:48,806
in a way that seems arms-length.
You know this.

175
00:08:48,848 --> 00:08:50,888
The idea is not to put yourself
in a position

176
00:08:50,930 --> 00:08:53,010
where you're gonna face
federal charges.

177
00:08:53,052 --> 00:08:55,134
That is, I concede,
the usual plan.

178
00:08:56,376 --> 00:08:58,416
Ah.

179
00:08:58,458 --> 00:09:00,177
You're running a dye test here.

180
00:09:00,219 --> 00:09:02,742
You want to see if Chuck Rhoades
is paying attention?

181
00:09:04,544 --> 00:09:08,185
Okay. A trainer feeds
a caged tiger fresh beef

182
00:09:08,227 --> 00:09:11,469
so it develops a taste for that
instead of trainer.

183
00:09:11,511 --> 00:09:14,712
The tiger's waiting by his door,
same time every day,

184
00:09:14,754 --> 00:09:16,594
ready to pounce on it.

185
00:09:16,636 --> 00:09:18,638
But you know the scariest moment
of a trainer's life?

186
00:09:19,959 --> 00:09:21,359
When he goes inside
the enclosure

187
00:09:21,401 --> 00:09:22,920
and the cat isn't there.

188
00:09:22,962 --> 00:09:24,442
They can't see it.

189
00:09:24,484 --> 00:09:26,163
Doesn't mean that
cat escaped,

190
00:09:26,205 --> 00:09:27,685
it means it's hiding,

191
00:09:27,727 --> 00:09:30,368
ready to revert
to its nature and hunt.

192
00:09:30,410 --> 00:09:32,009
I can't afford to let
Chuck Rhoades

193
00:09:32,051 --> 00:09:33,731
revert to his nature.

194
00:09:33,773 --> 00:09:35,813
So you're feeding him
some red meat,

195
00:09:35,855 --> 00:09:38,015
so you know exactly
where he's coming from.

196
00:09:38,057 --> 00:09:39,336
That's right.

197
00:09:39,378 --> 00:09:42,219
Still hate it.

198
00:09:42,261 --> 00:09:43,901
Can I still hate it? 'Cause...

199
00:09:43,943 --> 00:09:46,824
...still hate it.

200
00:09:46,866 --> 00:09:48,948
Kate Sacker's
gonna get it to him.

201
00:09:54,554 --> 00:09:56,153
Hi, Wendy.

202
00:09:56,195 --> 00:09:57,755
I was wondering if you could
write me a prescription.

203
00:09:57,797 --> 00:09:59,957
For Wellbutrin.

204
00:09:59,999 --> 00:10:02,520
Um, if necessary, of course.

205
00:10:02,562 --> 00:10:04,642
Why don't we set
an intake session for tomorrow

206
00:10:04,684 --> 00:10:06,323
-then we can decide--
-I only need one, actually.

207
00:10:06,365 --> 00:10:08,325
One pill?

208
00:10:08,367 --> 00:10:10,207
I've been taking it
for a while now,

209
00:10:10,249 --> 00:10:11,969
and it's a good fit.

210
00:10:12,011 --> 00:10:13,691
I just dropped my last one
down the sink this morning,

211
00:10:13,733 --> 00:10:15,453
and my, uh,

212
00:10:15,495 --> 00:10:17,855
prescriber has been out of town
for a couple of days.

213
00:10:17,897 --> 00:10:19,697
I'll be able to get
my full refill soon.

214
00:10:19,739 --> 00:10:21,659
Your "prescriber"--
you mean your GP?

215
00:10:21,701 --> 00:10:23,941
Um...

216
00:10:23,983 --> 00:10:25,663
- Yeah.
- Ben Kim,

217
00:10:25,705 --> 00:10:28,265
who prescribed the Wellbutrin?

218
00:10:28,307 --> 00:10:31,148
Fine. I've been seeing
an outside psychiatrist.

219
00:10:31,190 --> 00:10:32,710
She prescribed the meds,

220
00:10:32,752 --> 00:10:33,951
but she's been in Vienna
for a conference.

221
00:10:33,993 --> 00:10:35,713
Getting back tomorrow night.

222
00:10:35,755 --> 00:10:37,875
I see. Um...

223
00:10:37,917 --> 00:10:39,997
How long have you been
seeing this doctor?

224
00:10:40,039 --> 00:10:43,360
Respectfully, this is
separate from what you do.

225
00:10:43,402 --> 00:10:45,122
We all think you're an awesome
performance coach--

226
00:10:45,164 --> 00:10:47,647
Three months? Longer?

227
00:10:49,489 --> 00:10:51,491
Six months.

228
00:10:52,371 --> 00:10:54,171
So, um...

229
00:10:54,213 --> 00:10:55,733
will you help?

230
00:10:55,775 --> 00:10:57,695
With the prescription?

231
00:10:57,737 --> 00:10:59,739
Of course, yes.

232
00:11:06,946 --> 00:11:10,910
"We all."
Who else is seeing her?

233
00:11:18,758 --> 00:11:20,758
I assume we're taking
down the Russ & Daughters novi

234
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,880
in this random office
so that yours doesn't smell like

235
00:11:22,922 --> 00:11:25,763
an appetising shop
during your next meeting?

236
00:11:25,805 --> 00:11:28,167
Actually, this is your office.

237
00:11:31,210 --> 00:11:33,212
If you want it.

238
00:11:36,255 --> 00:11:39,216
"Come join me for a celebratory
kickoff breakfast, Ira."

239
00:11:39,258 --> 00:11:41,298
Of course, it couldn't be
just that. It was a trap.

240
00:11:41,340 --> 00:11:43,060
Oh!

241
00:11:43,102 --> 00:11:46,704
Trap sounds so sinister.
No. It's an opportunity.

242
00:11:46,746 --> 00:11:48,425
Come on, you've got the money,

243
00:11:48,467 --> 00:11:50,387
you've got the wife,
the new kid.

244
00:11:50,429 --> 00:11:51,669
But you know what
you're missing?

245
00:11:51,711 --> 00:11:53,070
An alpaca?

246
00:11:53,112 --> 00:11:54,672
The juice! The action!

247
00:11:54,714 --> 00:11:56,714
Sense of mission.

248
00:11:56,756 --> 00:11:58,916
The long hours.
The long odds.

249
00:11:58,958 --> 00:12:00,558
The shitty pay.

250
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,680
Ah, Chuck, I've been
a prosecutor before--

251
00:12:02,722 --> 00:12:05,523
N-n-no, we were just
line prosses back then.

252
00:12:05,565 --> 00:12:08,686
Answering up. You've never
done it with me in charge.

253
00:12:08,728 --> 00:12:12,129
Only running the ops we choose,
fighting back to back,

254
00:12:12,171 --> 00:12:13,771
no matter how outgunned by

255
00:12:13,813 --> 00:12:15,973
pricey douchebag
defence attorneys.

256
00:12:16,015 --> 00:12:19,817
Taking down the even bigger
douchebags who employ them.

257
00:12:19,859 --> 00:12:22,421
Be my Deputy US Attorney.

258
00:12:25,464 --> 00:12:27,785
Nope. No way.

259
00:12:27,827 --> 00:12:30,067
I'm sorry. You know
I'd love to spend all day

260
00:12:30,109 --> 00:12:32,229
hanging with you.
That's the alluring part.

261
00:12:32,271 --> 00:12:34,271
- Mm.
- And the...

262
00:12:34,313 --> 00:12:36,554
chance to do a thing that
actually matters does appeal...

263
00:12:36,596 --> 00:12:39,116
I'll stay quiet and let you
talk yourself into it.

264
00:12:39,158 --> 00:12:40,678
But you know we'd end up
arguing all day.

265
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,239
There's no conversation
more boring

266
00:12:42,281 --> 00:12:44,962
than the one
where everyone agrees.

267
00:12:45,004 --> 00:12:47,484
Montaigne's a deep pull,
I'll give you that.

268
00:12:47,526 --> 00:12:49,967
Oh.

269
00:12:50,009 --> 00:12:51,769
Swabbies are on the deck, boss.

270
00:12:51,811 --> 00:12:53,931
Ah, I see you've succeeded
with one recruit at least.

271
00:12:53,973 --> 00:12:57,657
Just one? You sure?
At least one.

272
00:13:10,189 --> 00:13:14,391
I am genuinely
thrilled to be here.

273
00:13:14,433 --> 00:13:16,073
And I don't thrill easy.

274
00:13:16,115 --> 00:13:17,715
Uh-uh.

275
00:13:17,757 --> 00:13:19,637
Oh, we're going to hold
the rich and powerful

276
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,199
and criminal accountable
for their actions,

277
00:13:22,241 --> 00:13:24,243
no matter the cost.

278
00:13:25,164 --> 00:13:26,724
I want you to go back
to your desks

279
00:13:26,766 --> 00:13:29,246
and pull the cases you
thought were too hot,

280
00:13:29,288 --> 00:13:31,969
too hard, too close
to the third rail.

281
00:13:32,011 --> 00:13:33,651
Pitch me those cases--

282
00:13:33,693 --> 00:13:35,532
directly,
not through channels--

283
00:13:35,574 --> 00:13:39,376
and together we will take
that unformed carbon

284
00:13:39,418 --> 00:13:42,021
and pressurise it
into diamonds.

285
00:13:43,342 --> 00:13:45,344
Into wins.

286
00:13:47,787 --> 00:13:49,186
All right, let's do it.

287
00:13:58,958 --> 00:14:01,518
Fuck no,
I don't see a shrink.

288
00:14:01,560 --> 00:14:04,123
Do you talk about work
with your other therapist?

289
00:14:05,284 --> 00:14:06,844
Yes.

290
00:14:06,886 --> 00:14:09,006
But it's a totally
separate thing.

291
00:14:09,048 --> 00:14:10,848
Church and state, you know?

292
00:14:10,890 --> 00:14:13,410
Dr. Mayer is
your classic Freudian.

293
00:14:13,452 --> 00:14:15,212
She's all about
getting to the "why,"

294
00:14:15,254 --> 00:14:17,214
even if it has
unexpected results.

295
00:14:17,256 --> 00:14:19,016
It's a trip.

296
00:14:19,058 --> 00:14:21,939
Seems I have a lot of resentment
for maternal figures in my life.

297
00:14:21,981 --> 00:14:24,982
I mostly talk about weird
recurring dreams with her.

298
00:14:25,024 --> 00:14:27,504
Like, you don't need to
know about sex dreams, right?

299
00:14:27,546 --> 00:14:29,707
It's not work relevant.

300
00:14:29,749 --> 00:14:32,509
Except like, when
it's about the displacement

301
00:14:32,551 --> 00:14:35,993
and sublimation of
my desires in the workplace.

302
00:14:36,035 --> 00:14:37,955
But it's only sometimes
about that.

303
00:14:37,997 --> 00:14:39,636
I know my rights.

304
00:14:39,678 --> 00:14:41,478
That includes
the Patient's Bill of Rights,

305
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,000
to not discuss shit
about what I discuss

306
00:14:43,042 --> 00:14:44,401
or with whom I discuss.

307
00:14:44,443 --> 00:14:46,764
-So there is someone?
-Or if I discuss.

308
00:14:46,806 --> 00:14:49,646
I tell all my friends, just
because a cop asks a question

309
00:14:49,688 --> 00:14:50,968
doesn't mean you gotta answer.

310
00:14:51,010 --> 00:14:52,810
I owe Dr. Mayer big time.

311
00:14:52,852 --> 00:14:55,092
I used to wake up from about
3 to 4 a.m. each night

312
00:14:55,134 --> 00:14:57,574
replaying this conversation
I had once with an ex.

313
00:14:57,616 --> 00:14:59,216
What kind of conversation?

314
00:14:59,258 --> 00:15:00,497
Well, that's
between me and the doc.

315
00:15:00,539 --> 00:15:02,059
But the thing is, it's gone.

316
00:15:02,101 --> 00:15:03,500
And now I'm all Z's
from eyes shut

317
00:15:03,542 --> 00:15:05,062
till open in the morning.

318
00:15:05,104 --> 00:15:07,264
So you've never met
with Dr. Mayer?

319
00:15:07,306 --> 00:15:10,027
Okay, fine. I just started.

320
00:15:10,069 --> 00:15:12,669
I hardly said anything
in my sessions.

321
00:15:12,711 --> 00:15:14,752
So it hasn't really
paid off for you?

322
00:15:14,794 --> 00:15:16,874
Can't say that. No.

323
00:15:16,916 --> 00:15:19,997
I'd been burying
some of my natural

324
00:15:20,039 --> 00:15:22,920
aggressive tendencies
since the fund blew up.

325
00:15:22,962 --> 00:15:26,003
But... well, I'm back
to Liver King levels now.

326
00:15:26,045 --> 00:15:28,047
At work and in the bedroom.

327
00:15:31,530 --> 00:15:34,251
I've been using
every inch of that Cali King.

328
00:15:34,293 --> 00:15:38,778
Train kept a-rollin'
all night long.

329
00:15:41,420 --> 00:15:44,021
Who suggested you see her?

330
00:15:44,063 --> 00:15:47,384
Person who hired me.

331
00:15:47,426 --> 00:15:49,546
<i>Have I not supported you</i>
<i>in our work together?</i>

332
00:15:49,588 --> 00:15:51,909
It isn't about that.
I am not only the work.

333
00:15:51,951 --> 00:15:54,671
And you can't deny your focus
is more on results than people.

334
00:15:54,713 --> 00:15:57,154
Dr. Mayer takes
a holistic approach.

335
00:15:57,196 --> 00:16:00,637
So I've heard. I didn't realise
my approach was lacking.

336
00:16:00,679 --> 00:16:03,040
Or that you, of all people,

337
00:16:03,082 --> 00:16:05,522
didn't trust me
with your whole self.

338
00:16:05,564 --> 00:16:07,805
How are we supposed
to move forward

339
00:16:07,847 --> 00:16:09,726
with that sitting between us?

340
00:16:09,768 --> 00:16:12,249
It isn't about trust.
Our people needed a real doctor.

341
00:16:12,291 --> 00:16:15,492
-And so did I.
-I am a real doctor.

342
00:16:15,534 --> 00:16:17,654
Technically, yes.
But I'm not sure anyone here

343
00:16:17,696 --> 00:16:19,096
feels comfortable
coming to you with anything

344
00:16:19,138 --> 00:16:20,537
besides work stuff.

345
00:16:20,579 --> 00:16:22,780
And Mayer creates
a very safe atmosphere.

346
00:16:22,822 --> 00:16:25,424
A safe feeling,
just being around her.

347
00:16:31,831 --> 00:16:33,833
Excuse me.

348
00:16:39,158 --> 00:16:40,517
How do you know she's here?

349
00:16:40,559 --> 00:16:41,919
Security called to let her up.

350
00:16:48,567 --> 00:16:51,008
Who are you here to see,
ma'am-- uh, Bonnie?

351
00:16:51,050 --> 00:16:53,052
Drop the bullshit, Peach.

352
00:16:54,693 --> 00:16:56,453
Babe, babe, babe.

353
00:16:56,495 --> 00:16:58,735
I've been waiting for you
to step out of those elevators

354
00:16:58,777 --> 00:17:00,617
since I got back here.

355
00:17:00,659 --> 00:17:04,701
But maybe we should talk
after work, on the down low.

356
00:17:04,743 --> 00:17:07,144
Jesus Christ.
I'm not here for that.

357
00:17:07,186 --> 00:17:10,587
- Oh, yeah. Just--
- Bonnie!

358
00:17:10,629 --> 00:17:12,069
What can we help you with?

359
00:17:12,111 --> 00:17:14,431
It's what I can help you with.

360
00:17:14,473 --> 00:17:16,233
Your former man
Winston is shopping

361
00:17:16,275 --> 00:17:18,235
a new piece of
risk-management software

362
00:17:18,277 --> 00:17:20,197
on the Street right now.

363
00:17:20,239 --> 00:17:21,919
He pitched it
at my firm this morning,

364
00:17:21,961 --> 00:17:23,440
and I haven't seen
the principals this excited

365
00:17:23,482 --> 00:17:24,641
since they were
rubbing up against me

366
00:17:24,683 --> 00:17:26,043
at the Christmas party.

367
00:17:26,085 --> 00:17:27,804
I heard he left here
just yesterday,

368
00:17:27,846 --> 00:17:29,006
so the timing seemed sus.

369
00:17:29,048 --> 00:17:30,808
Goddamnit!

370
00:17:30,850 --> 00:17:33,530
And on my watch. Fuck!

371
00:17:33,572 --> 00:17:36,133
That moonlighting prick.
Where does he get the energy?

372
00:17:36,175 --> 00:17:37,694
-Fuck!
-You already said "fuck."

373
00:17:37,736 --> 00:17:39,296
But, yeah, you're right.

374
00:17:39,338 --> 00:17:40,817
He must've developed this
before he left.

375
00:17:40,859 --> 00:17:43,740
WDE Risk Management.
What's WDE...?

376
00:17:43,782 --> 00:17:45,782
Winston Dick Energy.

377
00:17:45,824 --> 00:17:48,305
I don't espouse it, I just
know what it stands for.

378
00:17:48,347 --> 00:17:51,030
He said it... often.

379
00:17:53,112 --> 00:17:55,192
Why are you willing
to come share this with us?

380
00:17:55,234 --> 00:17:57,554
'Cause if there's one thing
I hate more than this place,

381
00:17:57,596 --> 00:18:01,758
it's backstabbing thieves,
so I had to set things right.

382
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,520
-No, that's not it--
-Yeah, no way.

383
00:18:03,562 --> 00:18:05,442
Total bullshit.

384
00:18:05,484 --> 00:18:07,364
Fine. I'm looking for a bump
in comp at my new firm.

385
00:18:07,406 --> 00:18:09,086
Give me an offer
I can use as leverage,

386
00:18:09,128 --> 00:18:10,247
and I'll forward you
the pitch deck.

387
00:18:10,289 --> 00:18:11,448
-Right.
-Naturally.

388
00:18:11,490 --> 00:18:12,930
That's the Bonnie we know.

389
00:18:12,972 --> 00:18:14,974
We'll write something up
and email you.

390
00:18:18,777 --> 00:18:20,779
Still looking fly
in that fleece.

391
00:18:24,944 --> 00:18:26,946
Call me.

392
00:18:35,914 --> 00:18:37,314
What kind of AI does it use?

393
00:18:37,356 --> 00:18:39,276
ASI for risk mitigation.

394
00:18:39,318 --> 00:18:41,318
It works automatically
across all sectors

395
00:18:41,360 --> 00:18:43,240
to detect hidden exposure
throughout the portfolio

396
00:18:43,282 --> 00:18:44,641
and reduce it
through a variety

397
00:18:44,683 --> 00:18:46,283
of hedges
and other techniques.

398
00:18:46,325 --> 00:18:48,605
The edge this would
give on returns is...

399
00:18:48,647 --> 00:18:51,288
-considerable.
-We need it back.

400
00:18:51,330 --> 00:18:53,810
And to make it clear that
no one takes from us and lives.

401
00:18:53,852 --> 00:18:55,212
Let me be clear that,
for the record,

402
00:18:55,254 --> 00:18:56,333
you're speaking in metaphor.

403
00:18:56,375 --> 00:18:57,814
If it makes you feel better.

404
00:18:57,856 --> 00:18:59,016
I'll get an injunction
filed right away

405
00:18:59,058 --> 00:19:00,857
to stop him from shopping it.

406
00:19:00,899 --> 00:19:03,340
It's a work for hire.
He has no legal leg to stand on.

407
00:19:03,382 --> 00:19:05,742
But what about the optics
of Mike taking legal action

408
00:19:05,784 --> 00:19:07,864
against a former employee
in this pro-worker environment?

409
00:19:07,906 --> 00:19:10,509
If we don't, we run the risk
of losing the tech, full stop.

410
00:19:13,552 --> 00:19:15,272
Say what you're
really worried about.

411
00:19:15,314 --> 00:19:17,074
Reputation. Yours.
Which is of

412
00:19:17,116 --> 00:19:19,876
particular importance
right now. But also mine.

413
00:19:19,918 --> 00:19:21,798
If it becomes public that
in my early days at the helm,

414
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,161
someone disrespected me
like this...

415
00:19:24,203 --> 00:19:25,682
I'd rather do this quietly.

416
00:19:25,724 --> 00:19:27,284
You talking
about reputation or ego?

417
00:19:27,326 --> 00:19:29,206
In this case,
there's no difference.

418
00:19:29,248 --> 00:19:30,567
I'm tied up in this
shit too, now, since he was,

419
00:19:30,609 --> 00:19:32,209
for a minute,
also my employee.

420
00:19:32,251 --> 00:19:33,490
I'll own my mistakes,
but give us a minute

421
00:19:33,532 --> 00:19:35,172
to make this thing right.

422
00:19:35,214 --> 00:19:36,493
I'm willing to gamble
and give you a minute,

423
00:19:36,535 --> 00:19:38,175
but not much more.

424
00:19:38,217 --> 00:19:40,137
Greed or fear,
which will you appeal?

425
00:19:40,179 --> 00:19:41,979
You really want to know?

426
00:19:42,021 --> 00:19:44,703
You have 48 hours, then Kate
files the injunction.

427
00:19:49,748 --> 00:19:52,429
I feel obliged to tell you
that you are gambling

428
00:19:52,471 --> 00:19:54,391
like Phil Mickelson
pressing a Nassau.

429
00:19:54,433 --> 00:19:56,113
It's 48 hours, Kate.

430
00:19:56,155 --> 00:19:58,155
And like Lefty,
I can usually make the shot.

431
00:19:58,197 --> 00:19:59,916
I'm not only talking about this.

432
00:19:59,958 --> 00:20:03,320
Ah, you delivered the Super PAC
filing to the SDNY.

433
00:20:03,362 --> 00:20:05,002
Yes. But I have a...

434
00:20:05,044 --> 00:20:07,124
low confidence interval
on the plan succeeding.

435
00:20:07,166 --> 00:20:08,965
Why's that?

436
00:20:09,007 --> 00:20:11,728
Chuck's always been as smart
as you, me, whomever else.

437
00:20:11,770 --> 00:20:15,092
In the past, his emotions
have allowed him to forget that.

438
00:20:15,134 --> 00:20:19,017
But I just... don't know
that's where we are now.

439
00:20:21,100 --> 00:20:22,499
Thanks.

440
00:20:22,541 --> 00:20:24,543
Okay.

441
00:20:26,905 --> 00:20:28,665
- That case did it for me.
- Hmm.

442
00:20:28,707 --> 00:20:31,188
Like reading a <i>Penthouse Forum</i>
in days of yore.

443
00:20:31,230 --> 00:20:33,390
Creative application of RICO.

444
00:20:33,432 --> 00:20:35,352
Real teeth there.
Instant headlines.

445
00:20:35,394 --> 00:20:37,434
Maybe not the kind we want.
Um...

446
00:20:37,476 --> 00:20:39,478
Didn't feel like
lightning to me.

447
00:20:42,721 --> 00:20:44,723
What's so distracting?

448
00:20:45,484 --> 00:20:48,045
Prince Super PAC filing

449
00:20:48,087 --> 00:20:49,926
with the Federal
Election Commission.

450
00:20:49,968 --> 00:20:51,288
Anything juicy?

451
00:20:51,330 --> 00:20:52,649
Don't get

452
00:20:52,691 --> 00:20:53,690
waylaid with this right now.

453
00:20:53,732 --> 00:20:55,734
Let's make some cases.

454
00:20:57,136 --> 00:20:58,575
You know it.

455
00:20:58,617 --> 00:21:01,058
Amanda Torre, Securities Unit.

456
00:21:01,100 --> 00:21:02,499
When I get face time
with the bosses,

457
00:21:02,541 --> 00:21:04,141
I'm not bringing any weak shit.

458
00:21:04,183 --> 00:21:06,983
Oh. We speaking
our thoughts aloud, Ms. Torre?

459
00:21:07,025 --> 00:21:09,626
No, what I'm bringing you
is a fog-cutter,

460
00:21:09,668 --> 00:21:11,428
a case that's going to
make noise in the press.

461
00:21:11,470 --> 00:21:12,949
One that's precedent-setting,

462
00:21:12,991 --> 00:21:14,591
with a high-profile target
for a bad guy

463
00:21:14,633 --> 00:21:16,513
and victims you can
really pull for.

464
00:21:16,555 --> 00:21:18,155
Oh, and one with
a clear road to victory.

465
00:21:18,197 --> 00:21:19,996
Anything less,
and I'm wasting your time.

466
00:21:20,038 --> 00:21:22,999
-Quite the wish list.
-Wish granted. Here you go.

467
00:21:23,041 --> 00:21:24,721
Pump-and-dump scheme.

468
00:21:24,763 --> 00:21:27,244
<i>Wolf of Wall Street</i>
lead broker. Scuzzy lawyers.

469
00:21:27,286 --> 00:21:29,926
-Working people defrauded.
-She's playing all the hits.

470
00:21:29,968 --> 00:21:32,489
My SEC contact is ready
to formalise a complaint.

471
00:21:32,531 --> 00:21:34,050
The FBI and I
turned one of his traders

472
00:21:34,092 --> 00:21:36,094
like she was Adriana La Cerva.

473
00:21:37,456 --> 00:21:38,815
Well, keep her going, then.

474
00:21:38,857 --> 00:21:40,056
Come back
when you really have him.

475
00:21:40,098 --> 00:21:41,778
Right now, feels thin.

476
00:21:41,820 --> 00:21:44,461
I'm sorry, um...

477
00:21:44,503 --> 00:21:46,383
what feels thin about this?

478
00:21:46,425 --> 00:21:48,665
Can I get some guidance, or--

479
00:21:48,707 --> 00:21:52,189
Uh, where were you when He laid
the foundation of the earth?

480
00:21:52,231 --> 00:21:53,910
The fuck does that mean?

481
00:21:53,952 --> 00:21:57,115
Not to us
to question the exalted.

482
00:22:00,759 --> 00:22:03,240
Come on, I'll tell
you some war stories.

483
00:22:05,324 --> 00:22:07,364
I know the first prosecution
has a lot riding on it,

484
00:22:07,406 --> 00:22:09,806
but we've gotta
break the seal at some point.

485
00:22:09,848 --> 00:22:11,488
One should make his decisions

486
00:22:11,530 --> 00:22:13,410
within the space
of seven breaths.

487
00:22:13,452 --> 00:22:15,011
So I did.

488
00:22:15,053 --> 00:22:16,693
Gandhi?

489
00:22:16,735 --> 00:22:19,696
Uh, <i>Book of the Samurai.</i>

490
00:22:19,738 --> 00:22:21,458
Well... perfect

491
00:22:21,500 --> 00:22:23,780
is the enemy of the good.
Does it say that in there?

492
00:22:23,822 --> 00:22:25,342
We had a stack of winners,

493
00:22:25,384 --> 00:22:26,543
and that was before
Ms. Torre walked in.

494
00:22:26,585 --> 00:22:30,106
And she was spittin' truth.

495
00:22:30,148 --> 00:22:32,389
So, what more are we
looking for? Clue me in here.

496
00:22:32,431 --> 00:22:34,791
80 and 0, buddy.

497
00:22:34,833 --> 00:22:36,793
That was the
personal record at one point.

498
00:22:36,835 --> 00:22:38,675
And I got it
by picking the winners,

499
00:22:38,717 --> 00:22:40,397
not betting
the swayback nags.

500
00:22:40,439 --> 00:22:42,441
I know what I'm doing.

501
00:22:42,761 --> 00:22:44,763
You sure that's all it is?

502
00:22:47,526 --> 00:22:51,568
There was once an aura
amongst federal prosecutors,

503
00:22:51,610 --> 00:22:55,412
something noble and untouchable.

504
00:22:55,454 --> 00:22:57,013
It made them king-like
in their ability

505
00:22:57,055 --> 00:22:59,856
to either indict
or refuse to charge.

506
00:22:59,898 --> 00:23:02,499
Now my record earned me
a part of that,

507
00:23:02,541 --> 00:23:06,102
until I made some... missteps.

508
00:23:06,144 --> 00:23:08,745
But I'm gonna get it back.

509
00:23:08,787 --> 00:23:11,067
For the very honour of the job.

510
00:23:11,109 --> 00:23:12,669
You brought the honour back

511
00:23:12,711 --> 00:23:14,351
the moment you walked
into the office again.

512
00:23:14,393 --> 00:23:17,073
I like the office.
I can do something from it.

513
00:23:17,115 --> 00:23:21,198
So I can't be rash.
And I can't be emotional.

514
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,401
And I have to pick my spots.

515
00:23:24,443 --> 00:23:25,842
You didn't ask me
to work by your side

516
00:23:25,884 --> 00:23:27,244
so I'd say
nice things to you,

517
00:23:27,286 --> 00:23:29,366
but I'm gonna do it anyway.

518
00:23:29,408 --> 00:23:32,249
You're the best prosecutor
ever sat this office

519
00:23:32,291 --> 00:23:34,851
because you used both your
intellect and your emotions.

520
00:23:34,893 --> 00:23:36,933
That's why you were
80 and 0.

521
00:23:36,975 --> 00:23:40,697
This is a moment to take risks.
You are beloved.

522
00:23:40,739 --> 00:23:43,780
That's the one thing you didn't
have last time. Use it.

523
00:23:43,822 --> 00:23:45,342
So you don't lose it.

524
00:23:45,384 --> 00:23:47,023
Okay, I hear you.

525
00:23:47,065 --> 00:23:49,508
But that doesn't mean
I can listen to you.

526
00:23:50,869 --> 00:23:52,871
Not yet.

527
00:23:57,636 --> 00:23:58,995
Let me in on
curb-stomping Winston.

528
00:23:59,037 --> 00:24:00,957
Philip and I will handle it.

529
00:24:00,999 --> 00:24:03,840
My schedule's light, and this
is just my kind of mission.

530
00:24:03,882 --> 00:24:05,884
We got it. Thanks.

531
00:24:19,057 --> 00:24:21,017
What's with you?

532
00:24:21,059 --> 00:24:23,260
-Nothing.
-Nah.

533
00:24:23,302 --> 00:24:25,141
I saw the way you reacted
to what Winston did.

534
00:24:25,183 --> 00:24:28,545
It wasn't anger in those eyes.
It was sadness.

535
00:24:28,587 --> 00:24:30,747
Can't I be both?

536
00:24:30,789 --> 00:24:32,869
You steep that any longer,
you may as well suck the bag.

537
00:24:32,911 --> 00:24:35,832
Plus, you don't drink
herbal tea.

538
00:24:35,874 --> 00:24:37,876
Minor fucking detail.

539
00:24:38,397 --> 00:24:40,076
Though I might as well start.

540
00:24:40,118 --> 00:24:42,799
That's what obsolete
pensioners do, isn't it?

541
00:24:42,841 --> 00:24:47,886
Drink tea, stare into space,
and decompose.

542
00:24:57,976 --> 00:25:01,938
Mother's milk.

543
00:25:01,980 --> 00:25:04,663
Better than a spot of
zen-relax tea?

544
00:25:07,305 --> 00:25:10,467
It was a fucking eulogy, Wend.

545
00:25:10,509 --> 00:25:13,029
Attending my own funeral.

546
00:25:13,071 --> 00:25:16,034
The whole cast of <i>Liar's Poker</i>
dancing on my grave.

547
00:25:17,195 --> 00:25:18,795
It would've been
a lot more fun

548
00:25:18,837 --> 00:25:20,839
if I had gotten to fake
my own death first.

549
00:25:23,241 --> 00:25:25,241
This is when you throw me
some magic

550
00:25:25,283 --> 00:25:27,285
that unlocks everything.

551
00:25:30,208 --> 00:25:32,250
Maybe my magic
isn't what you need.

552
00:25:33,852 --> 00:25:36,533
Maybe you need to see...
someone.

553
00:25:36,575 --> 00:25:39,456
A different kind of
professional.

554
00:25:39,498 --> 00:25:42,138
I've given that up.
For the time being.

555
00:25:44,863 --> 00:25:46,823
So you're just a man
searching for his next act.

556
00:25:46,865 --> 00:25:51,187
I'm not looking for a next act.
I want to go back in time.

557
00:25:51,229 --> 00:25:53,309
You're still
the same person, Wags.

558
00:25:53,351 --> 00:25:55,271
It's the circumstances
around you that have changed.

559
00:25:55,313 --> 00:25:57,193
The kind of theatrical moves
those guys are talking about,

560
00:25:57,235 --> 00:25:58,595
that's in your bones.

561
00:25:58,637 --> 00:26:00,997
You just need to find
an opportunity

562
00:26:01,039 --> 00:26:03,560
that'll activate
that muscle memory.

563
00:26:03,602 --> 00:26:05,722
And don't wait for permission.

564
00:26:05,764 --> 00:26:09,568
Yes, inject that magic
into my veins.

565
00:26:11,049 --> 00:26:14,130
When I was talking about
a "professional" before,

566
00:26:14,172 --> 00:26:16,132
I meant... therapist.

567
00:26:16,174 --> 00:26:18,855
A real... therapist.

568
00:26:18,897 --> 00:26:20,899
Oh, you heard
about Dr. Mayer, then.

569
00:26:22,340 --> 00:26:24,901
Don't... tell me
you're seeing her too.

570
00:26:24,943 --> 00:26:27,984
I assure you, I prefer
those depths unplunged.

571
00:26:28,026 --> 00:26:29,706
Unless by you, of course.

572
00:26:29,748 --> 00:26:31,388
Appreciate that.

573
00:26:31,430 --> 00:26:33,349
So, do you know what
this chick is all about?

574
00:26:33,391 --> 00:26:35,393
Why they're all
so obsessed with her?

575
00:26:36,475 --> 00:26:38,114
The Wendy Rhoades I know

576
00:26:38,156 --> 00:26:41,277
does not speculate
or rely on hearsay.

577
00:26:41,319 --> 00:26:44,521
She dives as deep as
the fucking Mariana Trench

578
00:26:44,563 --> 00:26:48,244
until she finds the truth among
the supergiants at the bottom.

579
00:26:48,286 --> 00:26:51,730
You want to know what this
knock-off Melfi is about...

580
00:26:53,091 --> 00:26:55,093
go find out.

581
00:26:55,574 --> 00:26:58,615
And I think you know
there is nothing anyone

582
00:26:58,657 --> 00:27:00,977
could Freudian slip
into my drink

583
00:27:01,019 --> 00:27:04,060
that'll change
the fact that you...

584
00:27:04,102 --> 00:27:06,983
will always be my Dr. Mojo.

585
00:27:17,075 --> 00:27:19,077
Sir?

586
00:27:20,559 --> 00:27:22,559
Ms. Torre, once
I pass on a case,

587
00:27:22,601 --> 00:27:24,080
I don't reconsider it

588
00:27:24,122 --> 00:27:25,842
unless there's been some
material change.

589
00:27:25,884 --> 00:27:27,203
So, if that's not what
you're here to tell me...

590
00:27:27,245 --> 00:27:28,685
This isn't my case.

591
00:27:28,727 --> 00:27:30,086
This is Michael Prince's
Super PAC filing.

592
00:27:30,128 --> 00:27:31,488
Deputy Schirmer gave it to me,

593
00:27:31,530 --> 00:27:33,970
said you wanted me
to take a look.

594
00:27:36,655 --> 00:27:39,736
Yeah, good, great.
And, uh, what did you learn?

595
00:27:39,778 --> 00:27:42,058
Potential violation
of 52 USC 30121.

596
00:27:42,100 --> 00:27:43,660
The foreign donor ban.

597
00:27:43,702 --> 00:27:45,061
He wouldn't do something
that obvious.

598
00:27:45,103 --> 00:27:46,783
Mm, not sure and not obvious.

599
00:27:46,825 --> 00:27:49,265
There was an LLC that donated
called North Country.

600
00:27:49,307 --> 00:27:50,947
The name caught my eye,
so I ran the CEO.

601
00:27:50,989 --> 00:27:52,549
He appears to be
a Canadian citizen.

602
00:27:54,232 --> 00:27:56,432
You interested
in preparing charges?

603
00:27:56,474 --> 00:27:58,837
Leave what you have,
I'll-I'll give it a look.

604
00:28:00,999 --> 00:28:04,280
For the record, the case
I pitched is a stone winner.

605
00:28:16,174 --> 00:28:19,055
Been saving this one
for a special occasion--

606
00:28:19,097 --> 00:28:20,376
Ahh!

607
00:28:20,418 --> 00:28:23,261
Your return to the seat
of power.

608
00:28:24,382 --> 00:28:26,262
Applejack?

609
00:28:26,304 --> 00:28:28,825
You stopped at the joint
in the corner on your way up.

610
00:28:28,867 --> 00:28:30,787
It's what they had.

611
00:28:30,829 --> 00:28:32,831
And the thought that counts.

612
00:28:33,712 --> 00:28:35,714
You want to drink it or not?

613
00:28:38,116 --> 00:28:41,037
What a sight you are, Charles.

614
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:47,125
The man back
in his natural habitat.

615
00:28:48,446 --> 00:28:50,729
Burning the midnight oil.

616
00:28:52,490 --> 00:28:56,134
Please regale me
with your first move.

617
00:28:57,856 --> 00:29:00,697
Nothing I'm ready to share,
I'm afraid.

618
00:29:00,739 --> 00:29:02,779
Don't be modest, sonny.

619
00:29:02,821 --> 00:29:06,182
You're sitting on something
bold and undeniable, I'm sure.

620
00:29:06,224 --> 00:29:08,226
Mm.

621
00:29:09,347 --> 00:29:11,067
What did Ira tell you?

622
00:29:11,109 --> 00:29:13,149
Ah, just that
you're limp as a noodle.

623
00:29:13,191 --> 00:29:16,072
Well, he said gun-shy,
but I'm translating.

624
00:29:16,114 --> 00:29:18,236
Oh, that's helpful. Thank you.

625
00:29:19,678 --> 00:29:21,517
-Whoa.
-Ohh.

626
00:29:21,559 --> 00:29:23,642
Did you know...

627
00:29:25,123 --> 00:29:28,484
that I stayed faithful
to your mother...

628
00:29:28,526 --> 00:29:31,127
for five months
after Kevin was born?

629
00:29:31,169 --> 00:29:33,369
Would you like
an award for that?

630
00:29:33,411 --> 00:29:34,931
No...

631
00:29:34,973 --> 00:29:37,333
I'm trying to tell you
I can relate.

632
00:29:37,375 --> 00:29:39,936
When I became a grandfather,

633
00:29:39,978 --> 00:29:42,899
I vowed to become
an upright man,

634
00:29:42,941 --> 00:29:45,023
an example for my grandson.

635
00:29:46,625 --> 00:29:50,386
God, those months
felt like years.

636
00:29:50,428 --> 00:29:54,871
I'd lay awake in bed next to her
every night, restless.

637
00:29:54,913 --> 00:29:57,634
Nothing spoils the spirit
like rote sexual congress.

638
00:29:57,676 --> 00:29:59,235
Dad!

639
00:29:59,277 --> 00:30:00,797
I knew I'd die
if I kept on like that,

640
00:30:00,839 --> 00:30:02,558
yet I wasn't ready for divorce.

641
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:07,045
But when it came to the idea
of a new assignation...

642
00:30:08,647 --> 00:30:12,408
the adrenaline rush

643
00:30:12,450 --> 00:30:14,651
was-was almost sickening.

644
00:30:14,693 --> 00:30:17,413
It was like an Acapulco diver
on top of a cliff,

645
00:30:17,455 --> 00:30:22,619
trying to... to time the waves
so that I didn't go splat.

646
00:30:22,661 --> 00:30:25,864
I was utterly frozen.

647
00:30:27,545 --> 00:30:29,547
Until...

648
00:30:30,268 --> 00:30:34,590
I attended the opening
of Bedminster Golf Club.

649
00:30:36,114 --> 00:30:37,914
Did you ever
meet his first wife?

650
00:30:37,956 --> 00:30:40,797
Oh, Jesus, Dad, you didn't.

651
00:30:40,839 --> 00:30:46,322
That woman was an athlete.

652
00:30:46,364 --> 00:30:49,285
We made the beast right on
the green of the second hole.

653
00:30:49,327 --> 00:30:51,447
Which is all very ironic,

654
00:30:51,489 --> 00:30:54,250
considering where she now lies
once again, rest in peace.

655
00:30:54,292 --> 00:30:59,175
Okay, your story hardly
accounts for the risks I face

656
00:30:59,217 --> 00:31:02,618
as delightful as it is to hear
you are groin cousins

657
00:31:02,660 --> 00:31:05,782
-with the former Miss--
-The point is, sonny,

658
00:31:05,824 --> 00:31:09,307
you gotta make the leap.

659
00:31:10,628 --> 00:31:14,512
Because the rewards
are inestimable.

660
00:31:30,969 --> 00:31:33,369
<i>Sacker.</i>

661
00:31:33,411 --> 00:31:35,852
Kate. It's time
to go see Rhoades.

662
00:31:35,894 --> 00:31:38,414
Try and prompt a reaction.
Get him following the scent.

663
00:31:38,456 --> 00:31:41,017
- <i>Should I bring the whole team?</i>
-Sure. Good idea.

664
00:31:41,059 --> 00:31:43,459
Bring whomever you think
will help get the job done.

665
00:31:43,501 --> 00:31:45,503
<i>You got it.</i>

666
00:31:59,237 --> 00:32:02,238
No need to hurry.
No need to sparkle.

667
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,762
No need to be anybody
but oneself.

668
00:32:05,804 --> 00:32:08,164
It's good to see you,
Dr. Rhoades.

669
00:32:08,206 --> 00:32:10,646
Make it Wendy.

670
00:32:10,688 --> 00:32:12,971
Shall we do it here, or do you
have <i>A Room of One's Own?</i>

671
00:32:16,214 --> 00:32:18,454
I've been expecting you.

672
00:32:18,496 --> 00:32:21,097
I'm sure you have.

673
00:32:21,139 --> 00:32:24,542
You rustle someone's cattle,
they're gonna come looking.

674
00:32:26,144 --> 00:32:28,104
Was it the welcoming
literary patter

675
00:32:28,146 --> 00:32:30,346
that helped you
snare my patients?

676
00:32:30,388 --> 00:32:34,670
I didn't see your brand on them.
At first.

677
00:32:34,712 --> 00:32:39,235
After talking to them,
the burns became more visible.

678
00:32:39,277 --> 00:32:42,320
Uh-huh. You know...

679
00:32:47,005 --> 00:32:51,808
I didn't...
come here to do this.

680
00:32:51,850 --> 00:32:53,970
You've helped my people
quite a lot.

681
00:32:54,012 --> 00:32:55,251
I wanted to thank you,

682
00:32:55,293 --> 00:32:58,734
and to see if we could find...

683
00:32:58,776 --> 00:33:01,978
a way to work in concert.
A harmony between our styles.

684
00:33:02,020 --> 00:33:06,823
Surely you don't think we do
the same thing, Wendy.

685
00:33:06,865 --> 00:33:09,665
We take different approaches,
but we're both psychiatrists.

686
00:33:09,707 --> 00:33:12,628
Humour me, please.

687
00:33:12,670 --> 00:33:15,713
How do you know
you're good at what you do?

688
00:33:17,315 --> 00:33:19,555
I could say close
to 25 billion earned

689
00:33:19,597 --> 00:33:21,117
and managed by my clients,

690
00:33:21,159 --> 00:33:23,439
but I won't step into that trap.

691
00:33:23,481 --> 00:33:26,963
My goals are aligned
with those of my patients.

692
00:33:27,005 --> 00:33:29,565
They want--
they need-- to earn,

693
00:33:29,607 --> 00:33:32,648
need to fight, need to win.

694
00:33:32,690 --> 00:33:35,691
The money's just a symbol of
what we're working towards.

695
00:33:35,733 --> 00:33:38,294
All of our shared patients,

696
00:33:38,336 --> 00:33:40,216
they're all addicts.

697
00:33:40,258 --> 00:33:42,939
What they need...

698
00:33:42,981 --> 00:33:46,702
it's wrapped up
in a very complicated bundle

699
00:33:46,744 --> 00:33:50,827
of compulsive behaviour
and purpose.

700
00:33:50,869 --> 00:33:53,309
Your talent and insight,

701
00:33:53,351 --> 00:33:58,474
you use it to disguise it
all as purpose,

702
00:33:58,516 --> 00:34:01,357
to keep them
on a hamster wheel.

703
00:34:01,399 --> 00:34:05,281
Well, certainly,
the wheel may get bigger,

704
00:34:05,323 --> 00:34:07,485
but it's still...

705
00:34:08,967 --> 00:34:11,007
essentially a prison.

706
00:34:11,049 --> 00:34:12,768
So I'm their jailer?

707
00:34:12,810 --> 00:34:16,812
I don't think any of them
would agree with that.

708
00:34:16,854 --> 00:34:21,657
Fair.
But I can't help but think...

709
00:34:21,699 --> 00:34:25,341
What if you used
all your ability

710
00:34:25,383 --> 00:34:27,743
to free them instead?

711
00:34:27,785 --> 00:34:32,750
It is no secret that
you are extraordinary, Wendy.

712
00:34:34,512 --> 00:34:37,713
But I think you could be
even better.

713
00:34:37,755 --> 00:34:39,916
I would like to
help you with that.

714
00:34:39,958 --> 00:34:43,159
Thank you.
But I'm not in the market

715
00:34:43,201 --> 00:34:44,840
for a performance coach.

716
00:34:44,882 --> 00:34:46,884
I was suggesting therapy.

717
00:34:48,006 --> 00:34:51,689
Isn't that why
you're here, really?

718
00:35:06,744 --> 00:35:08,584
-Miss me already, huh?
-Not quite.

719
00:35:08,626 --> 00:35:11,187
Please, take off your shoes.
Or stay on the marble.

720
00:35:11,229 --> 00:35:12,628
Jesus, these carpets
are harder to clean

721
00:35:12,670 --> 00:35:14,310
than a frat basement couch.

722
00:35:14,352 --> 00:35:16,792
Bill us. We know about
WDE Risk Management.

723
00:35:16,834 --> 00:35:18,714
People are already
talking about it, huh?

724
00:35:18,756 --> 00:35:20,396
-It's gonna be huge.
-Not only did you

725
00:35:20,438 --> 00:35:22,198
create the software
while at MPC,

726
00:35:22,240 --> 00:35:24,240
meaning you're hawking property
stolen from Mike Prince,

727
00:35:24,282 --> 00:35:25,962
but you trained it on data
from our traders.

728
00:35:26,004 --> 00:35:27,403
You don't want this
to get messy with a lawsuit.

729
00:35:27,445 --> 00:35:28,804
Surrender the code,
we can work out

730
00:35:28,846 --> 00:35:30,206
a suitable position
for you at MPC.

731
00:35:30,248 --> 00:35:32,008
Head of Risk Management, maybe?

732
00:35:32,050 --> 00:35:34,610
I'm done working
for other people, thanks.

733
00:35:34,652 --> 00:35:36,532
And I coded WDE after I left.

734
00:35:36,574 --> 00:35:38,935
In the eight hours before
you started trying to sell it?

735
00:35:38,977 --> 00:35:40,536
Kids work quick these days,
you know that.

736
00:35:40,578 --> 00:35:41,978
That isn't going
to hold up in court.

737
00:35:42,020 --> 00:35:43,699
Please. I used
an air-gapped computer,

738
00:35:43,741 --> 00:35:45,501
so the code trail
supports my timeline.

739
00:35:45,543 --> 00:35:47,063
I mean, I would've,
if I'd done it

740
00:35:47,105 --> 00:35:48,945
while I was still at MPC.

741
00:35:48,987 --> 00:35:51,227
But look, I'm a generous dude,
and we're friends.

742
00:35:51,269 --> 00:35:54,550
So I'll license it to you for
only, like, $500,000 per month.

743
00:35:54,592 --> 00:35:57,393
Plus two percent of profits.

744
00:35:57,435 --> 00:35:59,235
Oh, come on, shoes!
Who's been putting out

745
00:35:59,277 --> 00:36:00,436
their Kools on my floor?!

746
00:36:00,478 --> 00:36:02,038
I told you we've got this, Wags.

747
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:03,599
I'm not asking permission.
Taylor, Philip,

748
00:36:03,641 --> 00:36:05,001
back away
from the defendant.

749
00:36:05,043 --> 00:36:06,442
Prince is moving
forward with the lawsuit.

750
00:36:06,484 --> 00:36:08,244
This negotiation is
as useless as

751
00:36:08,286 --> 00:36:10,246
a 20-year-old
lambskin rubber.

752
00:36:10,288 --> 00:36:11,647
Like from a real lamb?

753
00:36:11,689 --> 00:36:13,529
Get off me--

754
00:36:13,571 --> 00:36:16,852
Do you think anyone on the
Street is gonna license software

755
00:36:16,894 --> 00:36:18,854
under the absolute
mountain of legal caca

756
00:36:18,896 --> 00:36:20,456
we're throwing your way?

757
00:36:20,498 --> 00:36:22,498
Your product, along
with your bank accounts,

758
00:36:22,540 --> 00:36:26,304
are gonna be frozen like
Ted Williams's fuckin' head!

759
00:36:34,352 --> 00:36:36,112
I can't believe
Prince called you in.

760
00:36:36,154 --> 00:36:37,953
-He promised us some time.
-He didn't call me in.

761
00:36:37,995 --> 00:36:39,155
The lawsuit
hasn't been filed yet.

762
00:36:39,197 --> 00:36:40,516
A bluff. What's the play?

763
00:36:40,558 --> 00:36:42,038
You can't eradicate cockroaches

764
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,162
without scaring them
out of hiding.

765
00:36:52,410 --> 00:36:54,330
<i>Yeah, hi.</i>
<i>I need to talk to your COO.</i>

766
00:36:54,372 --> 00:36:56,172
<i>I met with him yesterday.</i>
<i>We need to fast track</i>

767
00:36:56,214 --> 00:36:57,573
<i>the software</i>
<i>licensing agreements,</i>

768
00:36:57,615 --> 00:36:59,617
<i>or the offer's going away.</i>

769
00:37:01,499 --> 00:37:03,299
Do you think
anyone on the Street

770
00:37:03,341 --> 00:37:04,860
is gonna license software

771
00:37:04,902 --> 00:37:06,742
under the absolute
mountain of legal caca

772
00:37:06,784 --> 00:37:08,344
we're throwing your way?

773
00:37:08,386 --> 00:37:10,466
Your product, along
with your bank accounts,

774
00:37:10,508 --> 00:37:14,152
are gonna be frozen like
Ted Williams's fuckin' head!

775
00:37:18,516 --> 00:37:20,516
They had us wait in here
instead of in Chuck's office

776
00:37:20,558 --> 00:37:21,957
so that they could
end the conversation

777
00:37:21,999 --> 00:37:23,039
by walking out
whenever they want,

778
00:37:23,081 --> 00:37:24,720
treating us like targets.

779
00:37:24,762 --> 00:37:27,243
It's amazing the lessons
you choose to remember.

780
00:37:27,285 --> 00:37:29,645
Oh, I remember all of them.
Deploy the most effective

781
00:37:29,687 --> 00:37:31,006
and let the rest dangle.

782
00:37:31,048 --> 00:37:32,688
Which are you deploying today?

783
00:37:32,730 --> 00:37:36,092
We're here because
we have the same goal:

784
00:37:36,134 --> 00:37:38,214
for my candidate to be
operating squeaky clean,

785
00:37:38,256 --> 00:37:40,696
behind glass so clear,
it kills birds.

786
00:37:40,738 --> 00:37:42,818
The PAC is just
that transparent.

787
00:37:42,860 --> 00:37:45,341
We assume you've already
reviewed our FEC disclosure.

788
00:37:45,383 --> 00:37:46,942
We're here to answer
any questions.

789
00:37:46,984 --> 00:37:48,624
I guess it's
the "show up voluntarily

790
00:37:48,666 --> 00:37:50,706
to appear innocent" lesson,
but our policy

791
00:37:50,748 --> 00:37:53,229
is to ask questions
on our schedule, not yours.

792
00:37:53,271 --> 00:37:55,831
Eh, no, I do have one, actually.
For all of them.

793
00:37:55,873 --> 00:37:57,753
One I've asked Scooter before:

794
00:37:57,795 --> 00:38:01,077
What's the going price for
one's soul these days? Hmm?

795
00:38:01,119 --> 00:38:03,079
Well, a lesson from
my side of the street

796
00:38:03,121 --> 00:38:04,880
is never answer
a hypothetical.

797
00:38:04,922 --> 00:38:06,802
So, since I'm the guy
with no history here,

798
00:38:06,844 --> 00:38:09,845
might I suggest we turn this
slightly professional.

799
00:38:09,887 --> 00:38:11,727
Mr. Rhoades,
we sent over the documents

800
00:38:11,769 --> 00:38:13,729
so you'd have
an opportunity to vet them.

801
00:38:13,771 --> 00:38:15,731
That seemed the best way
for all parties to ensure

802
00:38:15,773 --> 00:38:18,934
that an often dirty process
is as pure as Crater Lake.

803
00:38:20,698 --> 00:38:22,418
Yes, well, the lake is pure
because it isn't

804
00:38:22,460 --> 00:38:24,019
fed by any rivers and streams,

805
00:38:24,061 --> 00:38:25,981
so there's no opportunity
for pollution--

806
00:38:26,023 --> 00:38:28,184
the opposite of
a fucking Super PAC,

807
00:38:28,226 --> 00:38:29,745
which tries to onboard as many

808
00:38:29,787 --> 00:38:31,789
dirty streams of cash
as possible.

809
00:38:38,316 --> 00:38:40,676
But...

810
00:38:40,718 --> 00:38:43,319
I won't know the specifics
until I take a look.

811
00:38:43,361 --> 00:38:45,921
And the fact is, I haven't
even had a chance yet.

812
00:38:45,963 --> 00:38:49,685
-Really.
-Really.

813
00:38:49,727 --> 00:38:51,807
It's what the man said.
It's what the man meant.

814
00:38:51,849 --> 00:38:54,170
And when I do,
if I have questions,

815
00:38:54,212 --> 00:38:56,172
you will be hearing from me.

816
00:39:11,229 --> 00:39:13,028
That was an opportunity.

817
00:39:13,070 --> 00:39:15,072
This is.

818
00:39:15,993 --> 00:39:17,913
You know what
Amanda found in that filing.

819
00:39:17,955 --> 00:39:20,516
-Let's hit 'em.
-This is not our shot at Prince.

820
00:39:20,558 --> 00:39:22,758
What are you doing?

821
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,241
I'm being smart.
Restrained. Tactical.

822
00:39:25,283 --> 00:39:27,563
Bullshit, buddy.
This is fear.

823
00:39:27,605 --> 00:39:30,206
Oh, come on.
You saw them, baiting me.

824
00:39:30,248 --> 00:39:32,248
They want me to find something,

825
00:39:32,290 --> 00:39:34,570
for some reason not yet obvious.

826
00:39:34,612 --> 00:39:37,533
But what is clear is that
all this would end, at minimum,

827
00:39:37,575 --> 00:39:39,054
with egg on my face.

828
00:39:39,096 --> 00:39:41,697
My dignity--
that, I will not lose.

829
00:39:41,739 --> 00:39:44,620
Your dignity? Chuck,
this isn't just about you.

830
00:39:44,662 --> 00:39:46,382
I'm sorry
I pulled you away

831
00:39:46,424 --> 00:39:47,663
from the high-dollar chase.

832
00:39:47,705 --> 00:39:48,904
You already miss it that much

833
00:39:48,946 --> 00:39:50,948
you're ready to go back?

834
00:39:51,669 --> 00:39:54,029
No. And it's not just about me.

835
00:39:54,071 --> 00:39:55,431
There's an office
full of people out there

836
00:39:55,473 --> 00:39:57,152
putting forth
their best efforts.

837
00:39:57,194 --> 00:39:59,595
So that's on the line.
And their careers, too.

838
00:39:59,637 --> 00:40:02,598
When they woke up to the news
that you were going to return,

839
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:04,159
they all told themselves

840
00:40:04,201 --> 00:40:05,761
they were finally
gonna be able to do something.

841
00:40:05,803 --> 00:40:07,082
They'd finally live up to
the essays

842
00:40:07,124 --> 00:40:09,004
they wrote
to get into law school

843
00:40:09,046 --> 00:40:11,208
because they'd finally
be working for a great man.

844
00:40:12,890 --> 00:40:16,091
And I know this to be true.

845
00:40:16,133 --> 00:40:18,256
Okay, so the only one
who needs to remember is you.

846
00:40:31,589 --> 00:40:32,948
Hey.

847
00:40:32,990 --> 00:40:35,591
If someone lusts
after you every day,

848
00:40:35,633 --> 00:40:37,753
they probably
also make moves.

849
00:40:37,795 --> 00:40:39,955
Maybe moves they shouldn't,

850
00:40:39,997 --> 00:40:43,359
to impress, ingratiate, seduce?

851
00:40:43,401 --> 00:40:45,641
Hopefully... illegal ones.

852
00:40:45,683 --> 00:40:47,763
So, what were they?

853
00:40:47,805 --> 00:40:49,605
I don't want Winston's

854
00:40:49,647 --> 00:40:51,567
metaphorical death
on my conscience.

855
00:40:51,609 --> 00:40:52,768
He was like
my annoying little brother.

856
00:40:52,810 --> 00:40:54,450
I'm not gonna be a part of this.

857
00:40:54,492 --> 00:40:56,532
Do you understand that
getting that software back

858
00:40:56,574 --> 00:40:59,134
is the single most important
thing to MPC right now?

859
00:40:59,176 --> 00:41:02,340
It's either him or us.

860
00:41:03,981 --> 00:41:05,821
Okay.

861
00:41:05,863 --> 00:41:07,943
He bragged about
some hacktivist stuff,

862
00:41:07,985 --> 00:41:10,866
but I honestly didn't listen
when he talked most of the time.

863
00:41:10,908 --> 00:41:12,988
He was probably just
making shit up to impress me.

864
00:41:13,030 --> 00:41:15,032
Hm.

865
00:41:16,233 --> 00:41:18,396
-But...
-But what?

866
00:41:20,037 --> 00:41:23,479
Okay, I didn't ask him to do it.

867
00:41:23,521 --> 00:41:26,562
But last May,
Winston hacked the DMV

868
00:41:26,604 --> 00:41:29,204
to remove points from my license
when I was about to lose it.

869
00:41:29,246 --> 00:41:32,047
How many points did you have?

870
00:41:32,089 --> 00:41:34,410
I like to go fast.

871
00:41:34,452 --> 00:41:37,453
That's my girl.

872
00:41:37,495 --> 00:41:41,337
I gonna need the date and time
of that hack for my guy.

873
00:41:46,544 --> 00:41:49,104
I sent some of our gang in
to talk to Chuck.

874
00:41:49,146 --> 00:41:50,866
The theory being?

875
00:41:50,908 --> 00:41:53,429
That he's coming for me.
I want to know from where.

876
00:41:53,471 --> 00:41:55,871
-And now you do?
-I do not.

877
00:41:55,913 --> 00:41:58,314
They said he seemed
different, muted.

878
00:41:58,356 --> 00:42:01,036
Disinterested even.

879
00:42:01,078 --> 00:42:03,639
Their instinct is
he's not coming.

880
00:42:03,681 --> 00:42:06,281
Was that just a posture?
I'm not sure.

881
00:42:06,323 --> 00:42:10,406
Could be he has other things
to focus on in his new job.

882
00:42:10,448 --> 00:42:12,450
He wouldn't be alone in that.

883
00:42:13,691 --> 00:42:16,652
You'd rather talk about
why I have a need to know,

884
00:42:16,694 --> 00:42:18,414
why I'm engaged in that

885
00:42:18,456 --> 00:42:20,776
instead of keeping my eyes
forward on my own business.

886
00:42:20,818 --> 00:42:23,058
I don't want to get into
anything you don't want to.

887
00:42:23,100 --> 00:42:24,940
And if I asked you to go in?

888
00:42:24,982 --> 00:42:27,102
To talk to Chuck,

889
00:42:27,144 --> 00:42:29,585
have a look for yourself,

890
00:42:29,627 --> 00:42:32,027
see what's going on
and give me some guidance?

891
00:42:32,069 --> 00:42:34,470
I'd say no way, bad idea.

892
00:42:34,512 --> 00:42:36,311
Any more contact,
and he's going to start

893
00:42:36,353 --> 00:42:38,113
believing there's
something there.

894
00:42:38,155 --> 00:42:40,075
You don't want to convert
your search for intel

895
00:42:40,117 --> 00:42:42,119
into motivation for him, do you?

896
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:45,042
I do not.

897
00:42:45,643 --> 00:42:47,645
Good call.

898
00:43:01,258 --> 00:43:03,260
Hm.

899
00:43:05,543 --> 00:43:07,545
Here.

900
00:43:14,472 --> 00:43:15,911
I figured
the one you had was old.

901
00:43:15,953 --> 00:43:17,192
You should have a current one.

902
00:43:17,234 --> 00:43:18,834
Yeah, well, the one I have,

903
00:43:18,876 --> 00:43:20,878
they're much younger.
You're in it.

904
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:24,480
Thank you.

905
00:43:24,522 --> 00:43:26,962
I heard some people from
the firm paid a visit today.

906
00:43:27,004 --> 00:43:29,405
And yet, I didn't
like what I learned.

907
00:43:29,447 --> 00:43:32,688
Anytime I hear Chuck Rhoades
is muted instead of pugnacious,

908
00:43:32,730 --> 00:43:34,129
it's cause for worry.

909
00:43:34,171 --> 00:43:37,212
You don't worry, you dig.

910
00:43:37,254 --> 00:43:38,694
Wh-what are you digging for now?

911
00:43:38,736 --> 00:43:40,335
Nothing.

912
00:43:40,377 --> 00:43:42,377
I just don't like
the cooled-off version of you.

913
00:43:42,419 --> 00:43:44,940
Pot, kettle, Wend.
You've been frozen so long,

914
00:43:44,982 --> 00:43:47,903
the very temperature of the room
drops when you walk in.

915
00:43:47,945 --> 00:43:49,264
Did Prince send you?

916
00:43:49,306 --> 00:43:51,909
He's not sweating
his disclosure.

917
00:43:53,390 --> 00:43:54,990
Besides, if he had,
would I have come?

918
00:43:55,032 --> 00:43:56,512
Am I some errand girl?

919
00:43:56,554 --> 00:43:59,194
No, I suppose not.

920
00:43:59,236 --> 00:44:03,158
Though I don't know
what you are.

921
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:06,081
I just hope whatever
you're doing here

922
00:44:06,123 --> 00:44:08,083
works out okay
for them this time.

923
00:44:12,690 --> 00:44:15,330
You got to the kid.

924
00:44:15,372 --> 00:44:18,373
He called them all,
so we've got the list.

925
00:44:18,415 --> 00:44:21,817
Two firms that he approached
yesterday, three today.

926
00:44:21,859 --> 00:44:24,259
Deals are being drawn up.

927
00:44:24,301 --> 00:44:28,063
He set a follow-up presentation
at his co-working space

928
00:44:28,105 --> 00:44:30,265
with all five CEOs tomorrow.

929
00:44:30,307 --> 00:44:32,588
Plan is to
ink the contracts there

930
00:44:32,630 --> 00:44:34,792
before any lawsuits land on him.

931
00:44:36,353 --> 00:44:39,957
Bravissimo, Hall.
And the coding signature?

932
00:44:41,278 --> 00:44:43,761
Hell of a laundry list,
you were right.

933
00:44:45,242 --> 00:44:47,483
That's the one.

934
00:44:47,525 --> 00:44:49,645
You want to bury him like that?

935
00:44:49,687 --> 00:44:52,728
Damn right.

936
00:44:52,770 --> 00:44:54,772
This is the fucking shovel.

937
00:44:55,653 --> 00:44:57,655
Now let's put on a show.

938
00:45:05,222 --> 00:45:07,182
I don't regret keeping
them on the hamster wheel.

939
00:45:07,224 --> 00:45:08,864
That's my job,

940
00:45:08,906 --> 00:45:11,066
to keep personnel in place,
happy enough to deliver.

941
00:45:11,108 --> 00:45:14,391
But I didn't choose
that wheel for myself.

942
00:45:15,833 --> 00:45:17,835
And yet...

943
00:45:18,315 --> 00:45:20,475
you want to know...

944
00:45:20,517 --> 00:45:23,959
why you can't leave.

945
00:45:24,001 --> 00:45:28,524
I want to know why I sometimes
feel like an errand girl.

946
00:45:28,566 --> 00:45:30,568
I know I'm not, but...

947
00:45:32,009 --> 00:45:33,529
Also, I kind of am.

948
00:45:33,571 --> 00:45:35,573
I keep doing
other people's bidding.

949
00:45:36,734 --> 00:45:38,694
You know, I can leave.

950
00:45:38,736 --> 00:45:41,416
-It's just that I don't.
-Mm-hmm.

951
00:45:41,458 --> 00:45:45,420
There's nothing stopping me,
contractual or financial.

952
00:45:45,462 --> 00:45:47,462
I tell myself it's
the fate of those very people

953
00:45:47,504 --> 00:45:49,144
that I'm keeping on the wheel,

954
00:45:49,186 --> 00:45:50,826
and the fate of
a great many people beyond,

955
00:45:50,868 --> 00:45:53,108
as well, that won't let me go.

956
00:45:53,150 --> 00:45:55,070
So...

957
00:45:55,112 --> 00:45:57,953
you're either an errand girl

958
00:45:57,995 --> 00:46:02,037
or Christ-like in your desire
to serve the wastrels.

959
00:46:02,079 --> 00:46:04,359
Feeling their pain.
Making it your own.

960
00:46:04,401 --> 00:46:05,761
You salve them.

961
00:46:05,803 --> 00:46:08,604
And ready them, again,

962
00:46:08,646 --> 00:46:11,088
to put their souls in peril.

963
00:46:12,770 --> 00:46:14,772
I... I don't know.

964
00:46:16,573 --> 00:46:18,734
I just know you were right.

965
00:46:18,776 --> 00:46:21,697
I can be more than this.

966
00:46:21,739 --> 00:46:23,741
I have to be.

967
00:46:25,342 --> 00:46:27,783
And I want to start that work.

968
00:46:27,825 --> 00:46:29,827
That's wonderful.

969
00:46:30,387 --> 00:46:32,187
I'll get you some referrals.

970
00:46:32,229 --> 00:46:35,711
No, no. You break it,
you buy it, Eleanor.

971
00:46:35,753 --> 00:46:38,994
- That's what you think?
- That I broke you?

972
00:46:39,036 --> 00:46:41,276
No. I'm not gonna
give you that much credit. Yet.

973
00:46:41,318 --> 00:46:43,999
But you did show me that
whatever it was I'm clinging to

974
00:46:44,041 --> 00:46:46,804
to stay above water
is drowning me instead.

975
00:46:48,686 --> 00:46:50,525
That's why it has to be you.

976
00:46:50,567 --> 00:46:53,969
Having started
at odds like this,

977
00:46:54,011 --> 00:46:56,013
it isn't ideal.

978
00:47:00,658 --> 00:47:03,500
Neither is the human condition,
yet we continue to lump it.

979
00:47:35,092 --> 00:47:37,973
I've already had a night, Karl.

980
00:47:38,015 --> 00:47:39,695
What's so important
I had to haul it

981
00:47:39,737 --> 00:47:41,739
all the way up to 122nd?

982
00:47:45,222 --> 00:47:47,943
Ah!

983
00:47:47,985 --> 00:47:50,345
So this is
an intervention, then.

984
00:47:50,387 --> 00:47:53,909
That's why you brought me
to the final resting place

985
00:47:53,951 --> 00:47:56,151
of Ulysses S. Grant.

986
00:47:56,193 --> 00:47:59,554
To remind me that
the venerated Union general

987
00:47:59,596 --> 00:48:02,437
stood tall
after the loss at Shiloh.

988
00:48:02,479 --> 00:48:04,481
Right?

989
00:48:05,082 --> 00:48:06,641
And what did
Lincoln say to those

990
00:48:06,683 --> 00:48:08,283
calling for his removal?

991
00:48:08,325 --> 00:48:12,730
"I can't spare this man;
he fights."

992
00:48:14,531 --> 00:48:16,932
Yeah, where would we be
if Grant hadn't gone on

993
00:48:16,974 --> 00:48:19,536
to fight at Chattanooga
and Vicksburg?

994
00:48:21,899 --> 00:48:24,301
You hoped this would
awaken my fight.

995
00:48:25,382 --> 00:48:27,062
But fighting is not my problem.

996
00:48:27,104 --> 00:48:31,268
I am ready to fight.
I am not ready to lose.

997
00:48:33,590 --> 00:48:35,350
Not again.

998
00:48:35,392 --> 00:48:37,152
You're a great man.

999
00:48:37,194 --> 00:48:39,114
But that isn't why
we've asked you to meet.

1000
00:48:39,156 --> 00:48:41,236
The reason's inside.

1001
00:49:00,257 --> 00:49:02,257
Well, that's
one hell of a twist.

1002
00:49:10,828 --> 00:49:12,307
Hey there, Chuck.

1003
00:49:12,349 --> 00:49:13,628
Well...

1004
00:49:15,552 --> 00:49:17,112
It's nice to meet you, sir.

1005
00:49:17,154 --> 00:49:18,513
Uh...

1006
00:49:18,555 --> 00:49:20,876
I've long held you
in admiration.

1007
00:49:20,918 --> 00:49:23,158
I hear you've got
a case of the yips, my man.

1008
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:24,559
The yips.

1009
00:49:24,601 --> 00:49:27,722
Yeah, I wish it was the yips.

1010
00:49:27,764 --> 00:49:32,647
It's elemental. My next move
needs to be perfect.

1011
00:49:32,689 --> 00:49:34,689
I need a win.

1012
00:49:34,731 --> 00:49:36,251
I'm familiar with that pressure.

1013
00:49:36,293 --> 00:49:37,933
Well, you mastered it.

1014
00:49:37,975 --> 00:49:40,215
You learned to use
the pressure to serve you.

1015
00:49:40,257 --> 00:49:42,457
Your record's beyond compare.

1016
00:49:42,499 --> 00:49:44,019
Well, you know,
Coach Wooden said that

1017
00:49:44,061 --> 00:49:45,740
as long as you do
your personal best,

1018
00:49:45,782 --> 00:49:48,343
-you've won.
-And that worked for you?

1019
00:49:48,385 --> 00:49:49,704
For a while.

1020
00:49:49,746 --> 00:49:51,666
And then we made
a trip down to Houston

1021
00:49:51,708 --> 00:49:54,229
- to visit Mr. Hayes.
- That's understood.

1022
00:49:54,271 --> 00:49:56,111
And it destroyed your
perfect season.

1023
00:49:56,153 --> 00:49:58,233
-Must've been devastating.
-Yeah, I was rocked.

1024
00:49:58,275 --> 00:49:59,314
Yeah.

1025
00:49:59,356 --> 00:50:01,236
But that loss made me.

1026
00:50:01,278 --> 00:50:03,398
-Mm-hmm.
-It helped...

1027
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:05,640
make me into the player
that I wanted to be.

1028
00:50:05,682 --> 00:50:07,442
-Yeah.
-And of course,

1029
00:50:07,484 --> 00:50:09,524
when the tournament came around,

1030
00:50:09,566 --> 00:50:11,686
it really made it sweet
to kick their asses.

1031
00:50:11,728 --> 00:50:14,329
Yeah, but...

1032
00:50:14,371 --> 00:50:15,851
the fear getting there.

1033
00:50:15,893 --> 00:50:17,895
I mean, how do you
keep that at bay?

1034
00:50:19,416 --> 00:50:24,019
I grew up in 1960s America
looking like this.

1035
00:50:24,061 --> 00:50:25,740
People wanted to kill me.

1036
00:50:25,782 --> 00:50:28,623
I've battled leukaemia,
open heart surgery,

1037
00:50:28,665 --> 00:50:31,588
cancer, fire, and racism.

1038
00:50:33,470 --> 00:50:36,151
You think I'd ever be afraid
of missing a damn skyhook

1039
00:50:36,193 --> 00:50:37,312
after all of that?

1040
00:50:37,354 --> 00:50:39,835
I do not imagine you would. No.

1041
00:50:39,877 --> 00:50:41,396
Yeah. Right.

1042
00:50:41,438 --> 00:50:43,440
Chuck...

1043
00:50:43,961 --> 00:50:45,961
people like us keep after it

1044
00:50:46,003 --> 00:50:47,682
because we know

1045
00:50:47,724 --> 00:50:50,087
it's a crime
to waste what we have.

1046
00:50:51,448 --> 00:50:53,728
If we don't take the shot...

1047
00:50:53,770 --> 00:50:56,053
who the hell else will?

1048
00:51:11,028 --> 00:51:14,071
This is why you need...

1049
00:51:19,476 --> 00:51:21,836
WDE.

1050
00:51:25,282 --> 00:51:27,242
Wait. What are you doing here?

1051
00:51:27,284 --> 00:51:29,286
We heard there was
gonna be a show.

1052
00:51:37,454 --> 00:51:41,536
Winston, This is Your Life.

1053
00:51:41,578 --> 00:51:44,259
The fuck?
You hijacked my presentation--

1054
00:51:44,301 --> 00:51:46,461
You were born in 1989

1055
00:51:46,503 --> 00:51:50,185
in Ardsley, New York,
to parents Freddie and Carlene.

1056
00:51:50,227 --> 00:51:51,786
Excelled in school.
Then to MIT,

1057
00:51:51,828 --> 00:51:54,029
where you had your first
and only girlfriend.

1058
00:51:54,071 --> 00:51:55,870
But she dumped you.
I wonder why that was.

1059
00:51:55,912 --> 00:51:57,472
- I...
- Perhaps

1060
00:51:57,514 --> 00:51:59,434
your internet search history
has the answers.

1061
00:52:07,124 --> 00:52:08,883
Also while in Beantown,

1062
00:52:08,925 --> 00:52:10,765
you hacked the College Board
to change the SAT scores

1063
00:52:10,807 --> 00:52:12,407
of Boston Latin students.

1064
00:52:12,449 --> 00:52:15,330
You're so good,
Winston. Do you know that?

1065
00:52:15,372 --> 00:52:17,612
So singular in your talent

1066
00:52:17,654 --> 00:52:20,735
that your coding signature
is unique.

1067
00:52:20,777 --> 00:52:22,497
Immediately identifiable.

1068
00:52:22,539 --> 00:52:24,739
- Oh, fuck!
- That's right!

1069
00:52:24,781 --> 00:52:26,381
And we found that
it's been used to hack

1070
00:52:26,423 --> 00:52:28,183
several government agencies.

1071
00:52:28,225 --> 00:52:30,385
This includes a NATO breach

1072
00:52:30,427 --> 00:52:32,948
in which a gigabyte
of classified information

1073
00:52:32,990 --> 00:52:37,112
was stolen and posted online
to prove NATO's vulnerabilities.

1074
00:52:37,154 --> 00:52:40,115
Heroic in some lights,

1075
00:52:40,157 --> 00:52:42,477
but fucking illegal
in all others.

1076
00:52:42,519 --> 00:52:45,000
That attack was attributed to
the group which you, Winston,

1077
00:52:45,042 --> 00:52:48,363
have been part of
for at least a decade.

1078
00:52:48,405 --> 00:52:50,525
I-- Where did you get this?

1079
00:52:50,567 --> 00:52:51,886
Rian rolled on your ass.

1080
00:52:51,928 --> 00:52:54,369
Kid...

1081
00:52:54,411 --> 00:52:57,012
I know how it feels to have
your purpose

1082
00:52:57,054 --> 00:52:58,893
sucked out from beneath you.

1083
00:52:58,935 --> 00:53:01,256
But let us point
to the road back.

1084
00:53:01,298 --> 00:53:02,897
You will surrender
the software immediately,

1085
00:53:02,939 --> 00:53:05,060
as it is the property of
Michael Prince Capital,

1086
00:53:05,102 --> 00:53:08,543
or all this goes very,
very public. Like, FBI public.

1087
00:53:08,585 --> 00:53:10,745
But cooperate,
and MPC will license

1088
00:53:10,787 --> 00:53:12,147
a lesser version to
the rest of the Street.

1089
00:53:12,189 --> 00:53:13,508
Keeping the best for us,
of course.

1090
00:53:13,550 --> 00:53:15,030
And you can run it.

1091
00:53:15,072 --> 00:53:16,271
I think that's
the better choice.

1092
00:53:16,313 --> 00:53:17,672
That isn't a real choice.

1093
00:53:17,714 --> 00:53:19,154
Isn't pretending
beneath you, Taylor?

1094
00:53:19,196 --> 00:53:20,715
You're right.
There is no choice.

1095
00:53:20,757 --> 00:53:22,717
You have five minutes
before your customers

1096
00:53:22,759 --> 00:53:24,479
start arriving for the pitch.

1097
00:53:24,521 --> 00:53:26,761
So... pull yourself together,
DocuSign,

1098
00:53:26,803 --> 00:53:29,286
and pitch the shit out of them,
or we have calls to make.

1099
00:53:31,448 --> 00:53:35,290
Oh, and we've renamed it.
Trojan Defence.

1100
00:53:35,332 --> 00:53:37,732
Winston Dick Energy
is a name only a man

1101
00:53:37,774 --> 00:53:40,815
with a very, very, small
energy source would choose.

1102
00:53:40,857 --> 00:53:44,221
It's... around
the national average.

1103
00:53:49,226 --> 00:53:51,506
Utterly brutal, Wags.
I mean that as a compliment.

1104
00:53:51,548 --> 00:53:53,748
Wouldn't take it any other way.

1105
00:53:53,790 --> 00:53:56,391
And please, spread this tale
far and wide.

1106
00:53:56,433 --> 00:53:58,435
To anyone who will listen.

1107
00:54:09,206 --> 00:54:10,805
Time to send a message.

1108
00:54:10,847 --> 00:54:13,448
The PAC is, as we said,
likely a misdirect.

1109
00:54:13,490 --> 00:54:15,490
All signs point to him
self-funding.

1110
00:54:15,532 --> 00:54:19,013
Mm. But let's open an
investigation on Michael Prince

1111
00:54:19,055 --> 00:54:22,057
for conspiring to violate
the ban on foreign donations

1112
00:54:22,099 --> 00:54:23,458
and contributions in connection

1113
00:54:23,500 --> 00:54:25,060
with federal
and state elections.

1114
00:54:25,102 --> 00:54:27,382
Use it as cover
to find another way in.

1115
00:54:27,424 --> 00:54:30,865
He needs to think he's got me
running in the wrong direction.

1116
00:54:30,907 --> 00:54:32,909
It will be done.

1117
00:54:35,832 --> 00:54:37,914
-Our boy is back.
-Beautiful thing.

1118
00:54:51,488 --> 00:54:53,488
When last we spoke,

1119
00:54:53,530 --> 00:54:56,691
I said I didn't want to get
into anything that you didn't.

1120
00:54:56,733 --> 00:54:58,373
But if you don't want
to get into something,

1121
00:54:58,415 --> 00:55:00,737
that's exactly
where I need to take you.

1122
00:55:02,259 --> 00:55:03,938
Otherwise, I'm failing you.

1123
00:55:03,980 --> 00:55:06,341
And I'm sorry
I did that before.

1124
00:55:06,383 --> 00:55:08,303
Understood. Thank you.

1125
00:55:10,187 --> 00:55:13,548
Chuck Rhoades is charging us
for violations on the Super PAC.

1126
00:55:13,590 --> 00:55:15,750
Good. Good.

1127
00:55:15,792 --> 00:55:18,393
Do we have the CEO's
citizenship paperwork in hand?

1128
00:55:18,435 --> 00:55:20,595
We do. Granted the same day
as the donation,

1129
00:55:20,637 --> 00:55:22,317
so it's not even
in the system yet.

1130
00:55:22,359 --> 00:55:24,439
Game on, then.

1131
00:55:24,481 --> 00:55:26,483
Nothing for him
at the end of that road.

1132
00:55:39,696 --> 00:55:42,016
What are all these?

1133
00:55:42,058 --> 00:55:45,500
Cases that are winners
but don't matter.

1134
00:55:45,542 --> 00:55:48,223
A once-vaunted lawman
called prosecutors

1135
00:55:48,265 --> 00:55:49,784
that only go after these, quote,

1136
00:55:49,826 --> 00:55:52,147
"members of
the chickenshit club."

1137
00:55:52,189 --> 00:55:54,629
Not a club I want to join.

1138
00:55:54,671 --> 00:55:56,391
Not one you'll have to

1139
00:55:56,433 --> 00:55:58,953
because we are going
after the ones that do matter,

1140
00:55:58,995 --> 00:56:01,716
starting with your
pump-and-dump case.

1141
00:56:01,758 --> 00:56:03,800
-You ready?
-More than.

1142
00:56:05,802 --> 00:56:07,402
You know, there's something
you'll have to learn

1143
00:56:07,444 --> 00:56:10,205
going after the important ones:

1144
00:56:10,247 --> 00:56:12,449
really fucking
hurts to lose.

1145
00:56:14,371 --> 00:56:17,332
Chips away pieces of you
each time.

1146
00:56:17,374 --> 00:56:21,095
Pieces you don't get back.

1147
00:56:21,137 --> 00:56:24,739
And it leaves you with no
choice but to...

1148
00:56:24,781 --> 00:56:26,783
go forward incomplete.

1149
00:56:28,545 --> 00:56:31,626
But, what, you're
all the better for it?

1150
00:56:31,668 --> 00:56:33,670
Stronger and whatnot?

1151
00:56:34,150 --> 00:56:36,152
No.

1152
00:56:36,833 --> 00:56:40,397
You just go forward
like that, missing pieces.

1153
00:56:42,078 --> 00:56:44,118
Because that's
the way you are now

1154
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:45,800
and there's no other choice.

1155
00:56:45,842 --> 00:56:49,204
- Fuck.
- Mm-hmm.

1156
00:56:49,246 --> 00:56:51,726
But that's not something
to worry about today.

1157
00:56:51,768 --> 00:56:54,729
Because before all that
stuff-of-life happens,

1158
00:56:54,771 --> 00:56:57,171
we are gonna
win cases aplenty.

1159
00:56:57,213 --> 00:57:00,134
I goddamn guarantee you that.
