Previously on <i>Billions.</i>

00:00:04,004 --> 00:00:05,672
Truman had a sign on his desk

3
00:00:05,672 --> 00:00:07,590
that said,
"The buck stops here."

4
00:00:07,590 --> 00:00:10,677
Mine's gonna say,
"I am the buck."

5
00:00:10,677 --> 00:00:12,595
It's one thing to help keep
the trains running

6
00:00:12,595 --> 00:00:14,681
when it was just about Prince
staying rich and getting richer.

7
00:00:14,681 --> 00:00:16,725
But I have decided
that he is dangerous.

8
00:00:16,725 --> 00:00:18,852
[judge] Mr. Rhoads,
charges are dismissed.

9
00:00:18,852 --> 00:00:20,520
You are free to go.

00:00:22,188 --> 00:00:23,690
You must be fielding job offers
by the dozen.

12
00:00:23,690 --> 00:00:25,650
I'm talking about US Attorney,

13
00:00:25,650 --> 00:00:28,028
Southern district of New York.

14
00:00:28,028 --> 00:00:30,155
- This guy's a fuckin' badass!
- Olé!

15
00:00:30,155 --> 00:00:32,198
This is the best thing that's
ever happened on this floor.

16
00:00:32,198 --> 00:00:34,325
He's got that
"Winston Dick Energy" happening.

17
00:00:34,325 --> 00:00:36,036
- [groans]
- [Prince] <i>And when we win,</i>

18
00:00:36,036 --> 00:00:38,038
you'll be feted
as a miracle worker.

19
00:00:38,038 --> 00:00:39,831
You're not a politician.

20
00:00:39,831 --> 00:00:41,541
You're hoping to contribute
by doing a public service.

21
00:00:41,541 --> 00:00:43,209
- A statesman.
- [cheering]

22
00:00:43,209 --> 00:00:44,669
Let's do this!

23
00:00:46,087 --> 00:00:47,547
Mr. President.

24
00:00:47,547 --> 00:00:51,051
It is an honor to hear from you.

25
00:01:20,121 --> 00:01:23,208
[indistinct chatter]

26
00:01:29,798 --> 00:01:31,716
Hi, Mr. Wagner.

27
00:01:31,716 --> 00:01:34,052
[Wags] Let's see what's
in the old footlocker, Omar.

28
00:01:35,011 --> 00:01:36,471
Let me get you your bottle.

00:01:55,657 --> 00:01:59,119
<i>Make my back,
Make my back burn</i>

34
00:02:08,461 --> 00:02:09,712
Here's your bottle.

35
00:02:12,423 --> 00:02:14,634
- [glass clinking]
- [man] Ladies and gentlemen,

36
00:02:14,634 --> 00:02:17,470
the author himself,
Michael Lewis.

37
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,723
[Lewis]
So the street has changed.

38
00:02:20,723 --> 00:02:23,643
It's been cleaned up. Sanitized.

39
00:02:23,643 --> 00:02:25,311
I mean, no one says
"fuck" anymore.

40
00:02:25,311 --> 00:02:27,438
- [laughter]
- They've taken the strippers off

41
00:02:27,438 --> 00:02:28,982
the trading floors.

42
00:02:28,982 --> 00:02:31,609
In a way,
the lie has gone deeper

43
00:02:31,609 --> 00:02:33,111
because no one on the outside

44
00:02:33,111 --> 00:02:34,821
looks the way they are
on the inside.

45
00:02:34,821 --> 00:02:38,700
Except for you. I think of you
as the last holdout.

46
00:02:38,700 --> 00:02:40,869
The last wolves
in wolves' clothing.

47
00:02:40,869 --> 00:02:43,329
The last crass motherfuckers.

48
00:02:43,329 --> 00:02:45,999
- [laughter]
- So in that spirit,

49
00:02:45,999 --> 00:02:48,126
let's raise a glass
to crass motherfuckers

50
00:02:48,126 --> 00:02:50,170
and the 35th anniversary
of <i>Liar's Poker.</i>

51
00:02:50,170 --> 00:02:52,380
[exclaiming, cheering]

52
00:02:54,257 --> 00:02:56,426
What a beautiful con
you've pulled, Lewis.

53
00:02:56,426 --> 00:02:59,053
They all think <i>Liar's Poker</i> was
a love letter to them. Kudos.

54
00:02:59,053 --> 00:03:01,806
It wasn't a con, Wags.
I just wrote it the way it was.

55
00:03:01,806 --> 00:03:03,349
And people see in it
what they want to see.

56
00:03:03,349 --> 00:03:05,977
Hmm. Like disco balls
and coke mirrors.

57
00:03:05,977 --> 00:03:07,020
- [chuckles]
- [Wags] Salut.

59
00:03:09,022 --> 00:03:11,024
Hey, you really got us right. Thanks.

60
00:03:11,024 --> 00:03:12,609
[Lewis] You're gonna have to
tell me your name.

61
00:03:12,609 --> 00:03:14,068
- Clark.
- Ah, Clark.

62
00:03:15,486 --> 00:03:17,197
[indistinct chatter]

63
00:03:17,197 --> 00:03:19,699
[Wags] Eric fuckin' Scott.

64
00:03:19,699 --> 00:03:22,535
- Wags!
- [laughter]

65
00:03:22,535 --> 00:03:24,120
Glad to see you haven't
decamped to Florida yet

66
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,330
like the the rest of 'em.

67
00:03:25,330 --> 00:03:27,040
I must love taxes

68
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,209
and a bodega
bacon, egg and cheese.

69
00:03:29,209 --> 00:03:31,544
That's why I'm still
slugging it out in Gotham.

70
00:03:31,544 --> 00:03:33,755
No, the rumor is
your guy's rolling in Europe.

71
00:03:33,755 --> 00:03:35,757
New guy, new money now.

72
00:03:35,757 --> 00:03:39,552
And I'm making room in the Ark
for a select few old friends.

73
00:03:39,552 --> 00:03:42,263
Mike Wagner playing pitchman?
Sad.

74
00:03:42,263 --> 00:03:43,723
Maybe New York is dead
after all

75
00:03:43,723 --> 00:03:45,433
and I should be packing
for Brickell.

76
00:03:45,433 --> 00:03:48,061
I'm not selling you
a Veg-O-Matic here, buddy.

77
00:03:48,061 --> 00:03:50,063
I'm giving you a chance
to turn your wad over

78
00:03:50,063 --> 00:03:51,356
a last time or two.

79
00:03:53,107 --> 00:03:54,234
Let's drink on this.

80
00:03:54,234 --> 00:03:55,902
You are a legend, Wags,

81
00:03:55,902 --> 00:03:58,571
- so I wanna hear you out.
- [Wags chuckling]

82
00:03:58,571 --> 00:04:00,657
You're the guy that ran up
a tab so high at Ponte's

83
00:04:00,657 --> 00:04:03,284
that Joe almost had to take
out a mob loan

84
00:04:03,284 --> 00:04:05,662
just to keep serving
those angry lobsters.

85
00:04:05,662 --> 00:04:07,413
Oh, Ponte's was nothing.

86
00:04:07,413 --> 00:04:09,165
Do you remember when
you went to Career Day

87
00:04:09,165 --> 00:04:11,084
for that escort's kid?

88
00:04:11,084 --> 00:04:14,045
What was that, '96?
That fucking killed me.

89
00:04:14,045 --> 00:04:16,005
Her name was Claire.
She was special to me.

90
00:04:16,005 --> 00:04:17,423
[Mort laughing]
Right, Claire.

91
00:04:17,423 --> 00:04:18,841
You hired her for, uh,

92
00:04:18,841 --> 00:04:20,551
that Tiger Cub's
bachelor party.

93
00:04:20,551 --> 00:04:22,595
Oh, that's right.
The poor guy got simplex

94
00:04:22,595 --> 00:04:24,222
- on his lip on his wedding day.
- [laughter]

95
00:04:24,222 --> 00:04:26,849
You hired him
'cause you felt so bad.

96
00:04:26,849 --> 00:04:28,434
Yeah, till he tanked
one quarter

97
00:04:28,434 --> 00:04:30,436
and Wags used his desk
as a urinal.

98
00:04:30,436 --> 00:04:31,938
Well, there was a day

99
00:04:31,938 --> 00:04:33,606
you stepped wrong
on Wags' trading floor,

100
00:04:33,606 --> 00:04:37,568
and he would bloody you up
like Jake the Muss.

101
00:04:37,568 --> 00:04:39,279
I can still walk the walk.

102
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:40,655
Mm.

103
00:04:40,655 --> 00:04:42,282
You should hear me on this:

104
00:04:42,282 --> 00:04:46,286
Michael Prince Capital
is where you want to be.

105
00:04:46,286 --> 00:04:48,121
We're not taking on
institutional money,

106
00:04:48,121 --> 00:04:50,790
but like I said...

107
00:04:50,790 --> 00:04:52,625
I can get exceptions made
for you lugs.

108
00:04:52,625 --> 00:04:54,294
And I'll make some room
in the fund

109
00:04:54,294 --> 00:04:55,920
for some of your clients,
but only the A-listers.

110
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,630
Make you look like superstars.

111
00:04:57,630 --> 00:05:00,591
[Scott] You always did have
the best ideas about...

112
00:05:00,591 --> 00:05:02,302
which club to hit
after the Super Bowl,

113
00:05:02,302 --> 00:05:05,388
or where to get the best
space cakes in Amsterdam.

114
00:05:05,388 --> 00:05:07,098
And he killed it
'cause that fucking attitude

115
00:05:07,098 --> 00:05:09,309
drove you like Max Verstappen.

116
00:05:09,309 --> 00:05:10,852
No offense, but now...

117
00:05:10,852 --> 00:05:14,230
you got about as much edge
as Barry Manilow.

118
00:05:14,230 --> 00:05:15,815
Offense fucking taken.

119
00:05:15,815 --> 00:05:17,400
Hey, hey, hey,

120
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:18,985
everybody gets left behind
at some point.

121
00:05:18,985 --> 00:05:20,987
You privately embrace
your obsolescence

122
00:05:20,987 --> 00:05:23,072
and hope nobody
notices for a while.

123
00:05:23,072 --> 00:05:24,949
Speak for yourself, motherfucker.

124
00:05:24,949 --> 00:05:26,659
[Scott] It was one thing when
you worked for a bad ass,

125
00:05:26,659 --> 00:05:28,494
but now you're in
a politician's stable,

126
00:05:28,494 --> 00:05:32,832
which is one step away
from the fucking glue factory.

127
00:05:32,832 --> 00:05:35,501
Keep talking
and I'll mollywop ya right here

128
00:05:35,501 --> 00:05:37,003
in front of the whole gang.

129
00:05:38,671 --> 00:05:41,966
I'll wait a while
for the Cialis to kick in.

130
00:05:41,966 --> 00:05:43,843
Hey, Omar,

131
00:05:43,843 --> 00:05:46,012
put my bottle back
in the locker.

132
00:05:46,012 --> 00:05:47,180
Let these assholes go back

133
00:05:47,180 --> 00:05:48,639
to choking on their usual swill.

134
00:05:53,561 --> 00:05:55,688
Well, he got fucking sensitive.

135
00:05:55,688 --> 00:05:57,857
You couldn't buy it
for yourself,

136
00:05:57,857 --> 00:05:59,984
so I figured I would.

137
00:06:04,781 --> 00:06:06,783
[laughs]

138
00:06:06,783 --> 00:06:08,242
It's perfect.

139
00:06:11,079 --> 00:06:12,205
Heading out?

140
00:06:12,205 --> 00:06:13,790
Yeah, but you might not want to

141
00:06:13,790 --> 00:06:15,249
leave the office for a while.

142
00:06:15,249 --> 00:06:18,086
Oh, the going away thing, yeah.

143
00:06:18,086 --> 00:06:20,380
Scooter's got it.
I-I have something else.

144
00:06:30,932 --> 00:06:34,394
[Winston]
Gratitude, shame, entitlement,

145
00:06:34,394 --> 00:06:37,730
these are our...

146
00:06:37,730 --> 00:06:39,857
[sighs] I don't really
traffic in that crap.

147
00:06:39,857 --> 00:06:43,403
No, on this occasion,
the eve of my departure,

148
00:06:43,403 --> 00:06:45,905
I would like to say
to you all...

149
00:06:45,905 --> 00:06:48,908
I would like to say:
You're welcome,

150
00:06:48,908 --> 00:06:50,827
for all that I've
brought to MPC.

151
00:06:50,827 --> 00:06:55,415
And in the words of
the great poet DJ Khaled,

152
00:06:55,415 --> 00:06:57,750
"Every time I step
up in the building,

153
00:06:57,750 --> 00:07:00,086
everybody hands go up,

154
00:07:00,086 --> 00:07:01,629
and they stay there.

155
00:07:01,629 --> 00:07:04,549
'Cause all I do is win."

156
00:07:04,549 --> 00:07:08,428
Anyone else care
to say something?

157
00:07:08,428 --> 00:07:10,638
- You sure?
- Is it weird that I'll miss him?

158
00:07:10,638 --> 00:07:12,890
- Objectively, yes.
- Right?

159
00:07:12,890 --> 00:07:15,643
- Yeah, fuck you, Winston.
- But after the "Princident,"

160
00:07:15,643 --> 00:07:17,895
Winston was the only one
who looked at me the same way.

161
00:07:17,895 --> 00:07:19,397
But that way was slavish
and pathetic.

162
00:07:19,397 --> 00:07:21,232
[Winston] Don't be shy.
Anybody?

163
00:07:21,232 --> 00:07:23,526
Anybody?

164
00:07:23,526 --> 00:07:25,278
Okay, then. I'll just say
one more thing.

165
00:07:25,278 --> 00:07:27,864
Ah, actually, Winston,
I have something to share.

166
00:07:27,864 --> 00:07:29,115
[Winston] Is Prince coming?

167
00:07:29,115 --> 00:07:31,784
Uh, no. No, he's not.

168
00:07:31,784 --> 00:07:33,953
He's... not.

169
00:07:33,953 --> 00:07:36,289
But he did ask me
to convey to you

170
00:07:36,289 --> 00:07:39,125
that you truly have been
a member of this...

171
00:07:39,125 --> 00:07:40,793
- Team!
- He said "organization."

172
00:07:40,793 --> 00:07:42,420
He usually calls it a team.

173
00:07:42,420 --> 00:07:43,838
This time he went
with organization.

174
00:07:45,339 --> 00:07:47,467
And so, yeah.

175
00:07:47,467 --> 00:07:49,552
Goodbye and thanks.

176
00:08:07,737 --> 00:08:08,946
Goodbye.

177
00:08:24,629 --> 00:08:27,089
I hate it. And you're proposing
to send a copy of it

178
00:08:27,089 --> 00:08:30,051
to Chuck Rhoades?
I hate everything about that.

179
00:08:30,051 --> 00:08:31,928
Can you figure out
why I love it?

180
00:08:31,928 --> 00:08:33,012
Are you that good?

181
00:08:34,555 --> 00:08:36,933
Okay. Okay.

182
00:08:36,933 --> 00:08:39,352
The purpose of
a Super PAC is to get

183
00:08:39,352 --> 00:08:42,146
high-net-worth supporters
to invest in your candidacy

184
00:08:42,146 --> 00:08:44,982
in a way that seems arms-length.
You know this.

185
00:08:44,982 --> 00:08:47,026
The idea is not to put yourself
in a position

186
00:08:47,026 --> 00:08:49,195
where you're gonna face
federal charges.

187
00:08:49,195 --> 00:08:51,364
That is, I concede,
the usual plan.

188
00:08:52,532 --> 00:08:54,534
Ah.

189
00:08:54,534 --> 00:08:56,369
You're running a dye test here.

190
00:08:56,369 --> 00:08:58,871
You want to see if Chuck Rhoades
is paying attention?

191
00:09:00,665 --> 00:09:04,293
Okay. A trainer feeds
a caged tiger fresh beef

192
00:09:04,293 --> 00:09:07,630
so it develops a taste for that
instead of trainer.

193
00:09:07,630 --> 00:09:10,841
The tiger's waiting by his door,
same time every day,

194
00:09:10,841 --> 00:09:12,760
ready to pounce on it.

195
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,595
But you know the scariest moment
of a trainer's life?

196
00:09:16,097 --> 00:09:17,473
When he goes inside
the enclosure

197
00:09:17,473 --> 00:09:19,058
and the cat isn't there.

198
00:09:19,058 --> 00:09:20,560
They can't see it.

199
00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:22,270
Doesn't mean that
cat escaped,

200
00:09:22,270 --> 00:09:23,813
it means it's hiding,

201
00:09:23,813 --> 00:09:26,524
ready to revert
to its nature and hunt.

202
00:09:26,524 --> 00:09:28,150
I can't afford to let
Chuck Rhoades

203
00:09:28,150 --> 00:09:29,860
revert to his nature.

204
00:09:29,860 --> 00:09:31,946
So you're feeding him
some red meat,

205
00:09:31,946 --> 00:09:34,115
so you know exactly
where he's coming from.

206
00:09:34,115 --> 00:09:35,449
That's right.

207
00:09:35,449 --> 00:09:38,369
Still hate it.

208
00:09:38,369 --> 00:09:40,037
Can I still hate it? 'Cause...

209
00:09:40,037 --> 00:09:42,999
[audible shudder]
...still hate it.

210
00:09:42,999 --> 00:09:45,126
Kate Sacker's
gonna get it to him.

211
00:09:50,715 --> 00:09:52,341
Hi, Wendy.

212
00:09:52,341 --> 00:09:53,926
I was wondering if you could
write me a prescription.

213
00:09:53,926 --> 00:09:54,969
For Wellbutrin.

214
00:09:56,137 --> 00:09:58,723
Um, if necessary, of course.

215
00:09:58,723 --> 00:10:00,850
Why don't we set
an intake session for tomorrow

216
00:10:00,850 --> 00:10:02,435
- then we can decide--
- I only need one, actually.

217
00:10:02,435 --> 00:10:04,520
One pill?

218
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,355
I've been taking it
for a while now,

219
00:10:06,355 --> 00:10:08,107
and it's a good fit.

220
00:10:08,107 --> 00:10:09,859
I just dropped my last one
down the sink this morning,

221
00:10:09,859 --> 00:10:11,611
and my, uh,

222
00:10:11,611 --> 00:10:14,071
prescriber has been out of town
for a couple of days.

223
00:10:14,071 --> 00:10:15,906
I'll be able to get
my full refill soon.

224
00:10:15,906 --> 00:10:17,825
Your "prescriber"--
you mean your GP?

225
00:10:17,825 --> 00:10:20,119
Um...

226
00:10:20,119 --> 00:10:21,829
- Yeah.
- [Wendy] Ben Kim,

227
00:10:21,829 --> 00:10:24,457
who prescribed the Wellbutrin?

228
00:10:24,457 --> 00:10:27,293
Fine. I've been seeing
an outside psychiatrist.

229
00:10:27,293 --> 00:10:28,919
She prescribed the meds,

230
00:10:28,919 --> 00:10:30,129
but she's been in Vienna
for a conference.

231
00:10:30,129 --> 00:10:31,922
Getting back tomorrow night.

232
00:10:31,922 --> 00:10:34,091
I see. Um...

233
00:10:34,091 --> 00:10:36,177
How long have you been
seeing this doctor?

234
00:10:36,177 --> 00:10:39,597
Respectfully, this is
separate from what you do.

235
00:10:39,597 --> 00:10:41,307
We all think you're an awesome
performance coach--

236
00:10:41,307 --> 00:10:43,851
Three months? Longer?

237
00:10:45,686 --> 00:10:47,104
Six months.

238
00:10:48,564 --> 00:10:50,358
So, um...

239
00:10:50,358 --> 00:10:51,984
will you help?

240
00:10:51,984 --> 00:10:53,903
With the prescription?

241
00:10:53,903 --> 00:10:55,988
Of course, yes.

242
00:11:01,118 --> 00:11:03,079
[sharp inhale]

243
00:11:03,079 --> 00:11:07,083
"We all."
Who else is seeing her?

244
00:11:14,965 --> 00:11:16,967
[Ira] I assume we're taking
down the Russ & Daughters novi

245
00:11:16,967 --> 00:11:19,011
in this random office
so that yours doesn't smell like

246
00:11:19,011 --> 00:11:21,972
an appetizing shop
during your next meeting?

247
00:11:21,972 --> 00:11:24,392
Actually, this is your office.

248
00:11:27,395 --> 00:11:28,646
If you want it.

249
00:11:32,441 --> 00:11:35,403
"Come join me for a celebratory
kickoff breakfast, Ira."

250
00:11:35,403 --> 00:11:37,488
Of course, it couldn't be
just that. It was a trap.

251
00:11:37,488 --> 00:11:39,240
Oh!

252
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,868
Trap sounds so sinister.
No. It's an opportunity.

253
00:11:42,868 --> 00:11:44,662
Come on, you've got the money,

254
00:11:44,662 --> 00:11:46,580
you've got the wife,
the new kid.

255
00:11:46,580 --> 00:11:47,873
But you know what
you're missing?

256
00:11:47,873 --> 00:11:49,250
An alpaca?

257
00:11:49,250 --> 00:11:50,876
The juice! The action!

258
00:11:50,876 --> 00:11:52,878
Sense of mission.

259
00:11:52,878 --> 00:11:55,131
The long hours.
The long odds.

260
00:11:55,131 --> 00:11:56,716
The shitty pay.

261
00:11:56,716 --> 00:11:58,884
Ah, Chuck, I've been
a prosecutor before--

262
00:11:58,884 --> 00:12:01,721
N-n-no, we were just
line prosses back then.

263
00:12:01,721 --> 00:12:04,890
Answering up. You've never
done it with me in charge.

264
00:12:04,890 --> 00:12:08,310
Only running the ops we choose,
fighting back to back,

265
00:12:08,310 --> 00:12:09,895
no matter how outgunned by

266
00:12:09,895 --> 00:12:12,189
pricey douchebag
defense attorneys.

267
00:12:12,189 --> 00:12:15,985
Taking down the even bigger
douchebags who employ them.

268
00:12:15,985 --> 00:12:18,612
Be my Deputy US Attorney.

269
00:12:21,615 --> 00:12:23,993
Nope. No way.

270
00:12:23,993 --> 00:12:26,245
I'm sorry. You know
I'd love to spend all day

271
00:12:26,245 --> 00:12:28,414
hanging with you.
That's the alluring part.

272
00:12:28,414 --> 00:12:30,458
- [Chuck] Mm.
- And the...

273
00:12:30,458 --> 00:12:32,752
chance to do a thing that
actually matters does appeal...

274
00:12:32,752 --> 00:12:35,296
I'll stay quiet and let you
talk yourself into it.

275
00:12:35,296 --> 00:12:36,922
But you know we'd end up
arguing all day.

276
00:12:36,922 --> 00:12:38,424
There's no conversation
more boring

277
00:12:38,424 --> 00:12:41,135
than the one
where everyone agrees.

278
00:12:41,135 --> 00:12:43,721
Montaigne's a deep pull,
I'll give you that.

279
00:12:43,721 --> 00:12:46,140
- Oh. [chuckles]
- [knocking on door]

280
00:12:46,140 --> 00:12:47,975
Swabbies are on the deck, boss.

281
00:12:47,975 --> 00:12:50,102
Ah, I see you've succeeded
with one recruit at least.

282
00:12:50,102 --> 00:12:53,856
Just one? You sure?
At least one.

283
00:13:02,323 --> 00:13:04,116
[soft sigh]

284
00:13:06,327 --> 00:13:10,539
I am genuinely
thrilled to be here.

285
00:13:10,539 --> 00:13:12,208
And I don't thrill easy.

286
00:13:12,208 --> 00:13:13,918
Uh-uh.

287
00:13:13,918 --> 00:13:15,795
Oh, we're going to hold
the rich and powerful

288
00:13:15,795 --> 00:13:18,380
and criminal accountable
for their actions,

289
00:13:18,380 --> 00:13:19,840
no matter the cost.

290
00:13:21,342 --> 00:13:22,927
I want you to go back
to your desks

291
00:13:22,927 --> 00:13:25,429
and pull the cases you
thought were too hot,

292
00:13:25,429 --> 00:13:28,140
too hard, too close
to the third rail.

293
00:13:28,140 --> 00:13:29,809
Pitch me those cases--

294
00:13:29,809 --> 00:13:31,727
directly,
not through channels--

295
00:13:31,727 --> 00:13:35,606
and together we will take
that unformed carbon

296
00:13:35,606 --> 00:13:38,234
and pressurize it
into diamonds.

297
00:13:39,527 --> 00:13:41,320
Into wins.

298
00:13:43,989 --> 00:13:45,366
[man]
All right, let's do it.

299
00:13:45,366 --> 00:13:46,951
[indistinct chatter]

300
00:13:55,167 --> 00:13:57,670
Fuck no,
I don't see a shrink.

301
00:13:57,670 --> 00:14:00,297
Do you talk about work
with your other therapist?

302
00:14:01,382 --> 00:14:02,967
Yes.

303
00:14:02,967 --> 00:14:05,135
But it's a totally
separate thing.

304
00:14:05,135 --> 00:14:06,971
Church and state, you know?

305
00:14:06,971 --> 00:14:09,598
Dr. Mayer is
your classic Freudian.

306
00:14:09,598 --> 00:14:11,350
She's all about
getting to the "why,"

307
00:14:11,350 --> 00:14:13,352
even if it has
unexpected results.

308
00:14:13,352 --> 00:14:15,187
It's a trip.

309
00:14:15,187 --> 00:14:18,148
Seems I have a lot of resentment
for maternal figures in my life.

310
00:14:18,148 --> 00:14:21,193
[Rian] I mostly talk about weird
recurring dreams with her.

311
00:14:21,193 --> 00:14:23,654
Like, you don't need to
know about sex dreams, right?

312
00:14:23,654 --> 00:14:25,865
It's not work relevant.

313
00:14:25,865 --> 00:14:28,701
Except like, when
it's about the displacement

314
00:14:28,701 --> 00:14:32,162
and sublimation of
my desires in the workplace.

315
00:14:32,162 --> 00:14:34,123
But it's only sometimes
about that.

316
00:14:34,123 --> 00:14:35,833
[Sacker] I know my rights.

317
00:14:35,833 --> 00:14:37,668
That includes
the Patient's Bill of Rights,

318
00:14:37,668 --> 00:14:39,169
to not discuss shit
about what I discuss

319
00:14:39,169 --> 00:14:40,546
or with whom I discuss.

320
00:14:40,546 --> 00:14:43,007
- So there is someone?
- Or if I discuss.

321
00:14:43,007 --> 00:14:45,843
I tell all my friends, just
because a cop asks a question

322
00:14:45,843 --> 00:14:47,177
doesn't mean you gotta answer.

323
00:14:47,177 --> 00:14:49,054
I owe Dr. Mayer big time.

324
00:14:49,054 --> 00:14:51,348
I used to wake up from about
3 to 4 a.m. each night

325
00:14:51,348 --> 00:14:53,726
replaying this conversation
I had once with an ex.

326
00:14:53,726 --> 00:14:55,394
What kind of conversation?

327
00:14:55,394 --> 00:14:56,729
Well, that's
between me and the doc.

328
00:14:56,729 --> 00:14:58,188
But the thing is, it's gone.

329
00:14:58,188 --> 00:14:59,607
And now I'm all Z's
from eyes shut

330
00:14:59,607 --> 00:15:01,191
till open in the morning.

331
00:15:01,191 --> 00:15:03,402
So you've never met
with Dr. Mayer?

332
00:15:03,402 --> 00:15:06,155
Okay, fine. I just started.

333
00:15:06,155 --> 00:15:08,824
I hardly said anything
in my sessions.

334
00:15:08,824 --> 00:15:10,868
So it hasn't really
paid off for you?

335
00:15:10,868 --> 00:15:12,995
Can't say that. No.

336
00:15:12,995 --> 00:15:16,206
I'd been burying
some of my natural

337
00:15:16,206 --> 00:15:19,084
aggressive tendencies
since the fund blew up.

338
00:15:19,084 --> 00:15:22,171
But... well, I'm back
to Liver King levels now.

339
00:15:22,171 --> 00:15:24,256
At work and in the bedroom.

340
00:15:27,718 --> 00:15:30,429
I've been using
every inch of that Cali King.

341
00:15:30,429 --> 00:15:34,934
Train kept a-rollin'
all night long.

342
00:15:37,603 --> 00:15:40,189
Who suggested you see her?

343
00:15:40,189 --> 00:15:43,567
Person who hired me.

344
00:15:43,567 --> 00:15:45,736
[Wendy] <i>Have I not supported you
in our work together?</i>

345
00:15:45,736 --> 00:15:48,113
It isn't about that.
I am not only the work.

346
00:15:48,113 --> 00:15:50,908
And you can't deny your focus
is more on results than people.

347
00:15:50,908 --> 00:15:53,410
Dr. Mayer takes
a holistic approach.

348
00:15:53,410 --> 00:15:56,789
So I've heard. I didn't realize
my approach was lacking.

349
00:15:56,789 --> 00:15:59,166
Or that you, of all people,

350
00:15:59,166 --> 00:16:01,669
didn't trust me
with your whole self.

351
00:16:01,669 --> 00:16:03,921
How are we supposed
to move forward

352
00:16:03,921 --> 00:16:05,881
with that sitting between us?

353
00:16:05,881 --> 00:16:08,384
It isn't about trust.
Our people needed a real doctor.

354
00:16:08,384 --> 00:16:11,637
- And so did I.
- I am a real doctor.

355
00:16:11,637 --> 00:16:13,806
Technically, yes.
But I'm not sure anyone here

356
00:16:13,806 --> 00:16:15,224
feels comfortable
coming to you with anything

357
00:16:15,224 --> 00:16:16,684
besides work stuff.

358
00:16:16,684 --> 00:16:18,936
And Mayer creates
a very safe atmosphere.

359
00:16:18,936 --> 00:16:21,605
A safe feeling,
just being around her.

360
00:16:23,148 --> 00:16:24,692
[phone vibrates]

361
00:16:27,987 --> 00:16:29,029
Excuse me.

362
00:16:35,327 --> 00:16:36,662
How do you know she's here?

363
00:16:36,662 --> 00:16:38,080
Security called to let her up.

364
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:39,081
[beeping]

365
00:16:44,712 --> 00:16:47,172
Who are you here to see,
ma'am-- uh, Bonnie?

366
00:16:47,172 --> 00:16:49,091
Drop the bullshit, Peach.

367
00:16:50,843 --> 00:16:52,636
Babe, babe, babe.

368
00:16:52,636 --> 00:16:54,888
I've been waiting for you
to step out of those elevators

369
00:16:54,888 --> 00:16:56,849
since I got back here.

370
00:16:56,849 --> 00:17:00,853
But maybe we should talk
after work, on the down low.

371
00:17:00,853 --> 00:17:03,272
Jesus Christ.
I'm not here for that.

372
00:17:03,272 --> 00:17:06,734
- Oh, yeah. Just--
- [Taylor] Bonnie!

373
00:17:06,734 --> 00:17:08,193
What can we help you with?

374
00:17:08,193 --> 00:17:10,571
It's what I can help you with.

375
00:17:10,571 --> 00:17:12,364
Your former man
Winston is shopping

376
00:17:12,364 --> 00:17:14,366
a new piece of
risk-management software

377
00:17:14,366 --> 00:17:16,326
on the Street right now.

378
00:17:16,326 --> 00:17:18,078
He pitched it
at my firm this morning,

379
00:17:18,078 --> 00:17:19,580
and I haven't seen
the principals this excited

380
00:17:19,580 --> 00:17:20,748
since they were
rubbing up against me

381
00:17:20,748 --> 00:17:22,166
at the Christmas party.

382
00:17:22,166 --> 00:17:23,917
I heard he left here
just yesterday,

383
00:17:23,917 --> 00:17:25,127
so the timing seemed sus.

384
00:17:25,127 --> 00:17:26,920
[Wags] Goddamnit!

385
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,715
And on my watch. Fuck!

386
00:17:29,715 --> 00:17:32,301
That moonlighting prick.
Where does he get the energy?

387
00:17:32,301 --> 00:17:33,844
- Fuck!
- You already said "fuck."

388
00:17:33,844 --> 00:17:35,471
But, yeah, you're right.

389
00:17:35,471 --> 00:17:37,014
He must've developed this
before he left.

390
00:17:37,014 --> 00:17:39,892
WDE Risk Management.
What's WDE...?

391
00:17:39,892 --> 00:17:41,977
[Rian]
Winston Dick Energy.

392
00:17:41,977 --> 00:17:44,480
I don't espouse it, I just
know what it stands for.

393
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,232
He said it... often.

394
00:17:49,276 --> 00:17:51,403
Why are you willing
to come share this with us?

395
00:17:51,403 --> 00:17:53,739
'Cause if there's one thing
I hate more than this place,

396
00:17:53,739 --> 00:17:57,868
it's backstabbing thieves,
so I had to set things right.

397
00:17:57,868 --> 00:17:59,578
- No, that's not it--
- Yeah, no way.

398
00:17:59,578 --> 00:18:01,580
Total bullshit.

399
00:18:01,580 --> 00:18:03,499
Fine. I'm looking for a bump
in comp at my new firm.

400
00:18:03,499 --> 00:18:05,209
Give me an offer
I can use as leverage,

401
00:18:05,209 --> 00:18:06,376
and I'll forward you
the pitch deck.

402
00:18:06,376 --> 00:18:07,586
- Right.
- Naturally.

403
00:18:07,586 --> 00:18:09,088
That's the Bonnie we know.

404
00:18:09,088 --> 00:18:10,422
We'll write something up
and email you.

405
00:18:14,927 --> 00:18:16,929
Still looking fly
in that fleece.

406
00:18:21,058 --> 00:18:22,601
[quietly]
Call me.

407
00:18:32,069 --> 00:18:33,445
[Prince]
What kind of AI does it use?

408
00:18:33,445 --> 00:18:35,447
[Philip]
ASI for risk mitigation.

409
00:18:35,447 --> 00:18:37,449
It works automatically
across all sectors

410
00:18:37,449 --> 00:18:39,409
to detect hidden exposure
throughout the portfolio

411
00:18:39,409 --> 00:18:40,786
and reduce it
through a variety

412
00:18:40,786 --> 00:18:42,454
of hedges
and other techniques.

413
00:18:42,454 --> 00:18:44,790
The edge this would
give on returns is...

414
00:18:44,790 --> 00:18:47,459
- considerable.
- We need it back.

415
00:18:47,459 --> 00:18:49,962
And to make it clear that
no one takes from us and lives.

416
00:18:49,962 --> 00:18:51,380
Let me be clear that,
for the record,

417
00:18:51,380 --> 00:18:52,464
you're speaking in metaphor.

418
00:18:52,464 --> 00:18:53,966
If it makes you feel better.

419
00:18:53,966 --> 00:18:55,134
I'll get an injunction
filed right away

420
00:18:55,134 --> 00:18:56,969
to stop him from shopping it.

421
00:18:56,969 --> 00:18:59,471
It's a work for hire.
He has no legal leg to stand on.

422
00:18:59,471 --> 00:19:01,849
But what about the optics
of Mike taking legal action

423
00:19:01,849 --> 00:19:03,976
against a former employee
in this pro-worker environment?

424
00:19:03,976 --> 00:19:06,645
If we don't, we run the risk
of losing the tech, full stop.

425
00:19:09,690 --> 00:19:11,400
Say what you're
really worried about.

426
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,235
Reputation. Yours.
Which is of

427
00:19:13,235 --> 00:19:16,029
particular importance
right now. But also mine.

428
00:19:16,029 --> 00:19:17,948
If it becomes public that
in my early days at the helm,

429
00:19:17,948 --> 00:19:20,284
someone disrespected me
like this...

430
00:19:20,284 --> 00:19:21,827
I'd rather do this quietly.

431
00:19:21,827 --> 00:19:23,412
You talking
about reputation or ego?

432
00:19:23,412 --> 00:19:25,372
In this case,
there's no difference.

433
00:19:25,372 --> 00:19:26,707
[Philip] I'm tied up in this
shit too, now, since he was,

434
00:19:26,707 --> 00:19:28,375
for a minute,
also my employee.

435
00:19:28,375 --> 00:19:29,626
I'll own my mistakes,
but give us a minute

436
00:19:29,626 --> 00:19:31,336
to make this thing right.

437
00:19:31,336 --> 00:19:32,629
I'm willing to gamble
and give you a minute,

438
00:19:32,629 --> 00:19:34,298
but not much more.

439
00:19:34,298 --> 00:19:36,258
Greed or fear,
which will you appeal?

440
00:19:36,258 --> 00:19:38,135
You really want to know?

441
00:19:38,135 --> 00:19:40,846
You have 48 hours, then Kate
files the injunction.

442
00:19:45,893 --> 00:19:48,604
I feel obliged to tell you
that you are gambling

443
00:19:48,604 --> 00:19:50,522
like Phil Mickelson
pressing a Nassau.

444
00:19:50,522 --> 00:19:52,316
It's 48 hours, Kate.

445
00:19:52,316 --> 00:19:54,318
And like Lefty,
I can usually make the shot.

446
00:19:54,318 --> 00:19:56,111
I'm not only talking about this.

447
00:19:56,111 --> 00:19:59,489
Ah, you delivered the Super PAC
filing to the SDNY.

448
00:19:59,489 --> 00:20:01,200
Yes. But I have a...

449
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,285
low confidence interval
on the plan succeeding.

450
00:20:03,285 --> 00:20:05,162
Why's that?

451
00:20:05,162 --> 00:20:07,873
Chuck's always been as smart
as you, me, whomever else.

452
00:20:07,873 --> 00:20:11,293
In the past, his emotions
have allowed him to forget that.

453
00:20:11,293 --> 00:20:15,214
But I just... don't know
that's where we are now.

454
00:20:17,257 --> 00:20:18,717
Thanks.

455
00:20:18,717 --> 00:20:19,676
[Ira]
Okay.

456
00:20:23,096 --> 00:20:24,890
- That case did it for me.
- [Chuck] Hmm.

457
00:20:24,890 --> 00:20:27,392
Like reading a <i>Penthouse Forum</i>
in days of yore.

458
00:20:27,392 --> 00:20:29,561
Creative application of RICO.

459
00:20:29,561 --> 00:20:31,563
Real teeth there.
Instant headlines.

460
00:20:31,563 --> 00:20:33,607
Maybe not the kind we want. Um...

461
00:20:33,607 --> 00:20:35,651
Didn't feel like
lightning to me.

462
00:20:38,946 --> 00:20:40,530
What's so distracting?

463
00:20:41,657 --> 00:20:44,243
[sighs]
Prince Super PAC filing

464
00:20:44,243 --> 00:20:46,078
with the Federal
Election Commission.

465
00:20:46,078 --> 00:20:47,454
Anything juicy?

466
00:20:47,454 --> 00:20:48,914
- [soft chuckle]
- Don't get

467
00:20:48,914 --> 00:20:49,915
waylaid with this right now.

468
00:20:49,915 --> 00:20:50,999
Let's make some cases.

469
00:20:53,335 --> 00:20:54,795
You know it.

470
00:20:54,795 --> 00:20:57,256
Amanda Torre, Securities Unit.

471
00:20:57,256 --> 00:20:58,674
When I get face time
with the bosses,

472
00:20:58,674 --> 00:21:00,342
I'm not bringing any weak shit.

473
00:21:00,342 --> 00:21:03,178
Oh. We speaking
our thoughts aloud, Ms. Torre?

474
00:21:03,178 --> 00:21:05,764
No, what I'm bringing you
is a fog-cutter,

475
00:21:05,764 --> 00:21:07,599
a case that's going to
make noise in the press.

476
00:21:07,599 --> 00:21:09,101
One that's precedent-setting,

477
00:21:09,101 --> 00:21:10,769
with a high-profile target
for a bad guy

478
00:21:10,769 --> 00:21:12,688
and victims you can
really pull for.

479
00:21:12,688 --> 00:21:14,356
Oh, and one with
a clear road to victory.

480
00:21:14,356 --> 00:21:16,191
Anything less,
and I'm wasting your time.

481
00:21:16,191 --> 00:21:19,111
- Quite the wish list.
- Wish granted. Here you go.

482
00:21:19,111 --> 00:21:20,904
Pump-and-dump scheme.

483
00:21:20,904 --> 00:21:23,448
<i>Wolf of Wall Street</i>
lead broker. Scuzzy lawyers.

484
00:21:23,448 --> 00:21:26,118
- Working people defrauded.
- She's playing all the hits.

485
00:21:26,118 --> 00:21:28,662
[Amanda] My SEC contact is ready
to formalize a complaint.

486
00:21:28,662 --> 00:21:30,247
The FBI and I
turned one of his traders

487
00:21:30,247 --> 00:21:31,415
like she was Adriana La Cerva.

488
00:21:33,667 --> 00:21:35,002
Well, keep her going, then.

489
00:21:35,002 --> 00:21:36,253
Come back
when you really have him.

490
00:21:36,253 --> 00:21:37,963
Right now, feels thin.

491
00:21:37,963 --> 00:21:40,632
[scoffs] I'm sorry, um...

492
00:21:40,632 --> 00:21:42,592
what feels thin about this?

493
00:21:42,592 --> 00:21:44,928
Can I get some guidance, or--

494
00:21:44,928 --> 00:21:48,348
Uh, where were you when He laid
the foundation of the earth?

495
00:21:48,348 --> 00:21:50,142
The fuck does that mean?

496
00:21:50,142 --> 00:21:53,312
Not to us
to question the exalted.

497
00:21:57,024 --> 00:21:59,401
Come on, I'll tell
you some war stories.

498
00:21:59,401 --> 00:22:01,486
- [clears throat]
- [door closes]

499
00:22:01,486 --> 00:22:03,572
I know the first prosecution
has a lot riding on it,

500
00:22:03,572 --> 00:22:05,991
but we've gotta
break the seal at some point.

501
00:22:05,991 --> 00:22:07,659
One should make his decisions

502
00:22:07,659 --> 00:22:09,578
within the space
of seven breaths.

503
00:22:09,578 --> 00:22:11,163
So I did.

504
00:22:11,163 --> 00:22:12,831
Gandhi?

505
00:22:12,831 --> 00:22:15,834
Uh, <i>Book of the Samurai.</i>

506
00:22:15,834 --> 00:22:17,669
[Ira] Well... perfect

507
00:22:17,669 --> 00:22:19,963
is the enemy of the good.
Does it say that in there?

508
00:22:19,963 --> 00:22:21,506
We had a stack of winners,

509
00:22:21,506 --> 00:22:22,674
and that was before
Ms. Torre walked in.

510
00:22:22,674 --> 00:22:26,303
And she was spittin' truth.

511
00:22:26,303 --> 00:22:28,555
So, what more are we
looking for? Clue me in here.

512
00:22:28,555 --> 00:22:31,016
80 and 0, buddy.

513
00:22:31,016 --> 00:22:33,018
That was the
personal record at one point.

514
00:22:33,018 --> 00:22:34,853
And I got it
by picking the winners,

515
00:22:34,853 --> 00:22:36,563
not betting
the swayback nags.

516
00:22:36,563 --> 00:22:37,814
I know what I'm doing.

517
00:22:38,940 --> 00:22:40,650
You sure that's all it is?

518
00:22:41,860 --> 00:22:43,695
[sighs]

519
00:22:43,695 --> 00:22:47,741
There was once an aura
amongst federal prosecutors,

520
00:22:47,741 --> 00:22:51,578
something noble and untouchable.

521
00:22:51,578 --> 00:22:53,205
It made them king-like
in their ability

522
00:22:53,205 --> 00:22:56,041
to either indict
or refuse to charge.

523
00:22:56,041 --> 00:22:58,627
Now my record earned me
a part of that,

524
00:22:58,627 --> 00:23:02,214
until I made some... missteps.

525
00:23:02,214 --> 00:23:04,883
But I'm gonna get it back.

526
00:23:04,883 --> 00:23:07,219
For the very honor of the job.

527
00:23:07,219 --> 00:23:08,845
You brought the honor back

528
00:23:08,845 --> 00:23:10,555
the moment you walked
into the office again.

529
00:23:10,555 --> 00:23:13,225
I like the office.
I can do something from it.

530
00:23:13,225 --> 00:23:17,354
So I can't be rash.
And I can't be emotional.

531
00:23:17,354 --> 00:23:20,565
And I have to pick my spots.

532
00:23:20,565 --> 00:23:22,025
You didn't ask me
to work by your side

533
00:23:22,025 --> 00:23:23,402
so I'd say
nice things to you,

534
00:23:23,402 --> 00:23:25,570
but I'm gonna do it anyway.

535
00:23:25,570 --> 00:23:28,407
You're the best prosecutor
ever sat this office

536
00:23:28,407 --> 00:23:31,034
because you used both your
intellect and your emotions.

537
00:23:31,034 --> 00:23:33,078
That's why you were
80 and 0.

538
00:23:33,078 --> 00:23:36,915
This is a moment to take risks.
You are beloved.

539
00:23:36,915 --> 00:23:39,960
That's the one thing you didn't
have last time. Use it.

540
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,545
So you don't lose it.

541
00:23:41,545 --> 00:23:43,255
Okay, I hear you.

542
00:23:43,255 --> 00:23:45,715
But that doesn't mean
I can listen to you.

543
00:23:47,008 --> 00:23:48,468
Not yet.

544
00:23:53,807 --> 00:23:55,225
Let me in on
curb-stomping Winston.

545
00:23:55,225 --> 00:23:57,144
Philip and I will handle it.

546
00:23:57,144 --> 00:23:59,980
My schedule's light, and this
is just my kind of mission.

547
00:23:59,980 --> 00:24:01,773
We got it. Thanks.

548
00:24:15,162 --> 00:24:17,122
What's with you?

549
00:24:17,122 --> 00:24:19,458
- Nothing.
- Nah.

550
00:24:19,458 --> 00:24:21,293
I saw the way you reacted
to what Winston did.

551
00:24:21,293 --> 00:24:24,713
It wasn't anger in those eyes.
It was sadness.

552
00:24:24,713 --> 00:24:26,965
Can't I be both?

553
00:24:26,965 --> 00:24:29,050
You steep that any longer,
you may as well suck the bag.

554
00:24:29,050 --> 00:24:31,970
Plus, you don't drink
herbal tea.

555
00:24:31,970 --> 00:24:33,388
Minor fucking detail.

556
00:24:34,514 --> 00:24:36,266
Though I might as well start.

557
00:24:36,266 --> 00:24:38,977
That's what obsolete
pensioners do, isn't it?

558
00:24:38,977 --> 00:24:44,065
Drink tea, stare into space,
and decompose.

559
00:24:48,487 --> 00:24:50,363
[indistinct chatter]

560
00:24:54,201 --> 00:24:58,079
[sighs] Mother's milk.

561
00:24:58,079 --> 00:25:00,832
Better than a spot of
zen-relax tea?

562
00:25:03,418 --> 00:25:06,588
It was a fucking eulogy, Wend.

563
00:25:06,588 --> 00:25:09,174
Attending my own funeral.

564
00:25:09,174 --> 00:25:12,177
The whole cast of <i>Liar's Poker</i>
dancing on my grave.

565
00:25:13,345 --> 00:25:14,930
It would've been
a lot more fun

566
00:25:14,930 --> 00:25:16,848
if I had gotten to fake
my own death first.

567
00:25:19,392 --> 00:25:21,353
This is when you throw me
some magic

568
00:25:21,353 --> 00:25:23,271
that unlocks everything.

569
00:25:26,399 --> 00:25:28,443
Maybe my magic
isn't what you need.

570
00:25:30,028 --> 00:25:32,697
Maybe you need to see... someone.

571
00:25:32,697 --> 00:25:35,659
A different kind of professional.

572
00:25:35,659 --> 00:25:38,286
I've given that up.
For the time being.

573
00:25:38,286 --> 00:25:40,997
[scoffs]

574
00:25:40,997 --> 00:25:43,041
So you're just a man
searching for his next act.

575
00:25:43,041 --> 00:25:47,379
I'm not looking for a next act.
I want to go back in time.

576
00:25:47,379 --> 00:25:49,548
You're still
the same person, Wags.

577
00:25:49,548 --> 00:25:51,508
It's the circumstances
around you that have changed.

578
00:25:51,508 --> 00:25:53,385
The kind of theatrical moves
those guys are talking about,

579
00:25:53,385 --> 00:25:54,761
that's in your bones.

580
00:25:54,761 --> 00:25:57,222
You just need to find
an opportunity

581
00:25:57,222 --> 00:25:59,683
that'll activate
that muscle memory.

582
00:25:59,683 --> 00:26:01,851
And don't wait for permission.

583
00:26:01,851 --> 00:26:05,730
Yes, inject that magic
into my veins.

584
00:26:07,190 --> 00:26:10,235
When I was talking about
a "professional" before,

585
00:26:10,235 --> 00:26:12,237
I meant... therapist.

586
00:26:12,237 --> 00:26:14,990
A real... therapist.

587
00:26:14,990 --> 00:26:16,908
Oh, you heard
about Dr. Mayer, then.

588
00:26:18,493 --> 00:26:21,037
Don't... tell me
you're seeing her too.

589
00:26:21,037 --> 00:26:24,165
I assure you, I prefer
those depths unplunged.

590
00:26:24,165 --> 00:26:25,875
Unless by you, of course.

591
00:26:25,875 --> 00:26:27,586
Appreciate that.

592
00:26:27,586 --> 00:26:29,546
So, do you know what
this chick is all about?

593
00:26:29,546 --> 00:26:31,464
Why they're all
so obsessed with her?

594
00:26:32,632 --> 00:26:34,259
The Wendy Rhoades I know

595
00:26:34,259 --> 00:26:37,429
does not speculate
or rely on hearsay.

596
00:26:37,429 --> 00:26:40,724
She dives as deep as
the fucking Mariana Trench

597
00:26:40,724 --> 00:26:44,436
until she finds the truth among
the supergiants at the bottom.

598
00:26:44,436 --> 00:26:47,939
You want to know what this
knock-off Melfi is about...

599
00:26:49,232 --> 00:26:50,275
go find out.

600
00:26:51,776 --> 00:26:54,779
And I think you know
there is nothing anyone

601
00:26:54,779 --> 00:26:57,157
could Freudian slip
into my drink

602
00:26:57,157 --> 00:27:00,201
that'll change
the fact that you...

603
00:27:00,201 --> 00:27:03,079
will always be my Dr. Mojo.

604
00:27:13,214 --> 00:27:15,091
- [knocking on door]
- [Amanda] Sir?

605
00:27:16,676 --> 00:27:18,678
Ms. Torre, once
I pass on a case,

606
00:27:18,678 --> 00:27:20,221
I don't reconsider it

607
00:27:20,221 --> 00:27:21,973
unless there's been some
material change.

608
00:27:21,973 --> 00:27:23,308
So, if that's not what
you're here to tell me...

609
00:27:23,308 --> 00:27:24,809
This isn't my case.

610
00:27:24,809 --> 00:27:26,227
This is Michael Prince's
Super PAC filing.

611
00:27:26,227 --> 00:27:27,646
Deputy Schirmer gave it to me,

612
00:27:27,646 --> 00:27:30,106
said you wanted me
to take a look.

613
00:27:30,106 --> 00:27:31,232
[chuckles]

614
00:27:32,859 --> 00:27:35,904
Yeah, good, great.
And, uh, what did you learn?

615
00:27:35,904 --> 00:27:38,239
Potential violation
of 52 USC 30121.

616
00:27:38,239 --> 00:27:39,824
The foreign donor ban.

617
00:27:39,824 --> 00:27:41,242
He wouldn't do something
that obvious.

618
00:27:41,242 --> 00:27:42,994
[Amanda]
Mm, not sure and not obvious.

619
00:27:42,994 --> 00:27:45,455
There was an LLC that donated
called North Country.

620
00:27:45,455 --> 00:27:47,123
The name caught my eye,
so I ran the CEO.

621
00:27:47,123 --> 00:27:48,667
He appears to be
a Canadian citizen.

622
00:27:48,667 --> 00:27:50,335
[sighs]

623
00:27:50,335 --> 00:27:52,629
[Amanda] You interested
in preparing charges?

624
00:27:52,629 --> 00:27:55,006
Leave what you have,
I'll-I'll give it a look.

625
00:27:57,175 --> 00:28:00,345
For the record, the case
I pitched is a stone winner.

626
00:28:00,345 --> 00:28:01,471
[scoffs]

627
00:28:12,315 --> 00:28:15,151
Been saving this one
for a special occasion--

628
00:28:15,151 --> 00:28:16,528
Ahh!

629
00:28:16,528 --> 00:28:19,406
Your return to the seat
of power.

630
00:28:20,490 --> 00:28:22,409
Applejack?

631
00:28:22,409 --> 00:28:24,953
You stopped at the joint
in the corner on your way up.

632
00:28:24,953 --> 00:28:26,913
It's what they had.

633
00:28:26,913 --> 00:28:28,581
And the thought that counts.

634
00:28:29,833 --> 00:28:31,710
You want to drink it or not?

635
00:28:34,254 --> 00:28:37,173
What a sight you are, Charles.

636
00:28:37,173 --> 00:28:38,633
[chuckles]

637
00:28:38,633 --> 00:28:43,304
The man back
in his natural habitat.

638
00:28:44,597 --> 00:28:46,891
Burning the midnight oil.

639
00:28:48,685 --> 00:28:52,313
Please regale me
with your first move.

640
00:28:54,023 --> 00:28:56,860
Nothing I'm ready to share,
I'm afraid.

641
00:28:56,860 --> 00:28:58,903
Don't be modest, sonny.

642
00:28:58,903 --> 00:29:02,240
You're sitting on something
bold and undeniable, I'm sure.

643
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:03,491
[Chuck] Mm.

644
00:29:05,410 --> 00:29:07,162
What did Ira tell you?

645
00:29:07,162 --> 00:29:09,289
Ah, just that
you're limp as a noodle.

646
00:29:09,289 --> 00:29:12,208
Well, he said gun-shy,
but I'm translating.

647
00:29:12,208 --> 00:29:14,419
Oh, that's helpful. Thank you.

648
00:29:15,795 --> 00:29:17,630
- Whoa.
- Ohh.

649
00:29:17,630 --> 00:29:19,758
Did you know...

650
00:29:21,259 --> 00:29:24,637
that I stayed faithful
to your mother...

651
00:29:24,637 --> 00:29:27,265
for five months
after Kevin was born?

652
00:29:27,265 --> 00:29:29,476
Would you like
an award for that?

653
00:29:29,476 --> 00:29:31,060
[Chuck Sr.] No...

654
00:29:31,060 --> 00:29:33,480
I'm trying to tell you
I can relate.

655
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,065
When I became a grandfather,

656
00:29:36,065 --> 00:29:39,027
I vowed to become
an upright man,

657
00:29:39,027 --> 00:29:41,154
an example for my grandson.

658
00:29:42,822 --> 00:29:46,576
God, those months
felt like years.

659
00:29:46,576 --> 00:29:51,080
I'd lay awake in bed next to her
every night, restless.

660
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,792
Nothing spoils the spirit
like rote sexual congress.

661
00:29:53,792 --> 00:29:55,418
Dad!

662
00:29:55,418 --> 00:29:56,961
I knew I'd die
if I kept on like that,

663
00:29:56,961 --> 00:29:58,755
yet I wasn't ready for divorce.

664
00:29:58,755 --> 00:30:03,218
But when it came to the idea
of a new assignation...

665
00:30:04,803 --> 00:30:08,556
the adrenaline rush

666
00:30:08,556 --> 00:30:10,809
was-was almost sickening.

667
00:30:10,809 --> 00:30:13,603
It was like an Acapulco diver
on top of a cliff,

668
00:30:13,603 --> 00:30:18,817
trying to... to time the waves
so that I didn't go splat.

669
00:30:18,817 --> 00:30:22,070
I was utterly frozen.

670
00:30:23,696 --> 00:30:24,823
Until...

671
00:30:26,491 --> 00:30:30,787
I attended the opening
of Bedminster Golf Club.

672
00:30:30,787 --> 00:30:32,288
[chuckles]

673
00:30:32,288 --> 00:30:34,123
Did you ever
meet his first wife?

674
00:30:34,123 --> 00:30:37,001
Oh, Jesus, Dad, you didn't.

675
00:30:37,001 --> 00:30:42,507
That woman was an athlete.

676
00:30:42,507 --> 00:30:45,510
We made the beast right on
the green of the second hole.

677
00:30:45,510 --> 00:30:47,679
Which is all very ironic,

678
00:30:47,679 --> 00:30:50,515
considering where she now lies
once again, rest in peace.

679
00:30:50,515 --> 00:30:55,395
Okay, your story hardly
accounts for the risks I face

680
00:30:55,395 --> 00:30:58,815
as delightful as it is to hear
you are groin cousins

681
00:30:58,815 --> 00:31:01,943
- with the former Miss--
- The point is, sonny,

682
00:31:01,943 --> 00:31:05,530
you gotta make the leap.

683
00:31:06,823 --> 00:31:10,702
Because the rewards
are inestimable.

684
00:31:23,381 --> 00:31:24,757
[sighs]

685
00:31:27,135 --> 00:31:29,554
- [line ringing]
- [Sacker] <i>Sacker.</i>

686
00:31:29,554 --> 00:31:32,056
Kate. It's time
to go see Rhoades.

687
00:31:32,056 --> 00:31:34,601
Try and prompt a reaction.
Get him following the scent.

688
00:31:34,601 --> 00:31:37,228
- <i>Should I bring the whole team?</i>
- Sure. Good idea.

689
00:31:37,228 --> 00:31:39,606
Bring whomever you think
will help get the job done.

690
00:31:39,606 --> 00:31:40,899
<i>You got it.</i>

691
00:31:55,455 --> 00:31:58,416
No need to hurry.
No need to sparkle.

692
00:31:58,416 --> 00:32:01,920
No need to be anybody
but oneself.

693
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,339
It's good to see you,
Dr. Rhoades.

694
00:32:04,339 --> 00:32:06,841
Make it Wendy.

695
00:32:06,841 --> 00:32:09,135
Shall we do it here, or do you
have <i>A Room of One's Own?</i>

696
00:32:12,388 --> 00:32:14,599
I've been expecting you.

697
00:32:14,599 --> 00:32:17,268
I'm sure you have.

698
00:32:17,268 --> 00:32:20,772
You rustle someone's cattle,
they're gonna come looking.

699
00:32:22,315 --> 00:32:24,275
Was it the welcoming
literary patter

700
00:32:24,275 --> 00:32:26,527
that helped you
snare my patients?

701
00:32:26,527 --> 00:32:30,907
I didn't see your brand on them.
At first.

702
00:32:30,907 --> 00:32:35,453
After talking to them,
the burns became more visible.

703
00:32:35,453 --> 00:32:38,539
Uh-huh. You know...

704
00:32:40,833 --> 00:32:43,127
[sighs]

705
00:32:43,127 --> 00:32:48,007
I didn't...
come here to do this.

706
00:32:48,007 --> 00:32:50,134
You've helped my people
quite a lot.

707
00:32:50,134 --> 00:32:51,469
I wanted to thank you,

708
00:32:51,469 --> 00:32:54,973
and to see if we could find...

709
00:32:54,973 --> 00:32:58,142
a way to work in concert.
A harmony between our styles.

710
00:32:58,142 --> 00:33:02,981
Surely you don't think we do
the same thing, Wendy.

711
00:33:02,981 --> 00:33:05,817
We take different approaches,
but we're both psychiatrists.

712
00:33:05,817 --> 00:33:08,820
Humor me, please.

713
00:33:08,820 --> 00:33:11,906
How do you know
you're good at what you do?

714
00:33:13,491 --> 00:33:15,743
I could say close
to 25 billion earned

715
00:33:15,743 --> 00:33:17,286
and managed by my clients,

716
00:33:17,286 --> 00:33:19,622
but I won't step into that trap.

717
00:33:19,622 --> 00:33:23,126
My goals are aligned
with those of my patients.

718
00:33:23,126 --> 00:33:25,753
They want--
they need-- to earn,

719
00:33:25,753 --> 00:33:28,840
need to fight, need to win.

720
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,843
The money's just a symbol of
what we're working towards.

721
00:33:31,843 --> 00:33:34,470
All of our shared patients,

722
00:33:34,470 --> 00:33:36,389
they're all addicts.

723
00:33:36,389 --> 00:33:39,183
What they need...

724
00:33:39,183 --> 00:33:42,895
it's wrapped up
in a very complicated bundle

725
00:33:42,895 --> 00:33:47,025
of compulsive behavior
and purpose.

726
00:33:47,025 --> 00:33:49,527
Your talent and insight,

727
00:33:49,527 --> 00:33:54,699
you use it to disguise it
all as purpose,

728
00:33:54,699 --> 00:33:57,535
to keep them
on a hamster wheel.

729
00:33:57,535 --> 00:34:01,414
Well, certainly,
the wheel may get bigger,

730
00:34:01,414 --> 00:34:03,666
but it's still...

731
00:34:05,084 --> 00:34:07,128
essentially a prison.

732
00:34:07,128 --> 00:34:08,921
So I'm their jailer?

733
00:34:08,921 --> 00:34:13,009
I don't think any of them
would agree with that.

734
00:34:13,009 --> 00:34:17,847
Fair.
But I can't help but think...

735
00:34:17,847 --> 00:34:21,517
What if you used
all your ability

736
00:34:21,517 --> 00:34:23,895
to free them instead?

737
00:34:23,895 --> 00:34:28,941
It is no secret that
you are extraordinary, Wendy.

738
00:34:30,693 --> 00:34:33,905
But I think you could be
even better.

739
00:34:33,905 --> 00:34:36,074
I would like to
help you with that.

740
00:34:36,074 --> 00:34:39,327
Thank you.
But I'm not in the market

741
00:34:39,327 --> 00:34:40,995
for a performance coach.

742
00:34:40,995 --> 00:34:42,663
I was suggesting therapy.

743
00:34:44,248 --> 00:34:47,919
Isn't that why
you're here, really?

744
00:35:00,056 --> 00:35:01,265
[knocking on door]

745
00:35:02,892 --> 00:35:04,727
- Miss me already, huh?
- Not quite.

746
00:35:04,727 --> 00:35:07,313
Please, take off your shoes.
Or stay on the marble.

747
00:35:07,313 --> 00:35:08,773
Jesus, these carpets
are harder to clean

748
00:35:08,773 --> 00:35:10,441
than a frat basement couch.

749
00:35:10,441 --> 00:35:12,944
Bill us. We know about
WDE Risk Management.

750
00:35:12,944 --> 00:35:14,862
People are already
talking about it, huh?

751
00:35:14,862 --> 00:35:16,572
- It's gonna be huge.
- Not only did you

752
00:35:16,572 --> 00:35:18,407
create the software
while at MPC,

753
00:35:18,407 --> 00:35:20,409
meaning you're hawking property
stolen from Mike Prince,

754
00:35:20,409 --> 00:35:22,120
but you trained it on data
from our traders.

755
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:23,579
You don't want this
to get messy with a lawsuit.

756
00:35:23,579 --> 00:35:24,956
Surrender the code,
we can work out

757
00:35:24,956 --> 00:35:26,374
a suitable position
for you at MPC.

758
00:35:26,374 --> 00:35:28,209
Head of Risk Management, maybe?

759
00:35:28,209 --> 00:35:30,795
[laughs] I'm done working
for other people, thanks.

760
00:35:30,795 --> 00:35:32,713
And I coded WDE after I left.

761
00:35:32,713 --> 00:35:35,133
In the eight hours before
you started trying to sell it?

762
00:35:35,133 --> 00:35:36,717
Kids work quick these days,
you know that.

763
00:35:36,717 --> 00:35:38,136
That isn't going
to hold up in court.

764
00:35:38,136 --> 00:35:39,887
Please. I used
an air-gapped computer,

765
00:35:39,887 --> 00:35:41,639
so the code trail
supports my timeline.

766
00:35:41,639 --> 00:35:43,224
I mean, I would've,
if I'd done it

767
00:35:43,224 --> 00:35:45,143
while I was still at MPC.

768
00:35:45,143 --> 00:35:47,436
But look, I'm a generous dude,
and we're friends.

769
00:35:47,436 --> 00:35:50,773
So I'll license it to you for
only, like, $500,000 per month.

770
00:35:50,773 --> 00:35:53,609
- Plus two percent of profits.
- [door opens]

771
00:35:53,609 --> 00:35:55,444
Oh, come on, shoes!
Who's been putting out

772
00:35:55,444 --> 00:35:56,654
their Kools on my floor?!

773
00:35:56,654 --> 00:35:58,197
I told you we've got this, Wags.

774
00:35:58,197 --> 00:35:59,740
I'm not asking permission.
Taylor, Philip,

775
00:35:59,740 --> 00:36:01,159
back away
from the defendant.

776
00:36:01,159 --> 00:36:02,577
Prince is moving
forward with the lawsuit.

777
00:36:02,577 --> 00:36:04,370
This negotiation is
as useless as

778
00:36:04,370 --> 00:36:06,372
a 20-year-old
lambskin rubber.

779
00:36:06,372 --> 00:36:07,790
- Like from a real lamb?
- [grunts]

780
00:36:07,790 --> 00:36:09,667
[stammering]
Get off me--

781
00:36:09,667 --> 00:36:13,004
Do you think anyone on the
Street is gonna license software

782
00:36:13,004 --> 00:36:14,964
under the absolute
mountain of legal caca

783
00:36:14,964 --> 00:36:16,591
we're throwing your way?

784
00:36:16,591 --> 00:36:18,634
Your product, along
with your bank accounts,

785
00:36:18,634 --> 00:36:22,471
are gonna be frozen like
Ted Williams's fuckin' head!

786
00:36:25,641 --> 00:36:28,895
[door opens, closes]

787
00:36:30,521 --> 00:36:32,315
[Taylor] I can't believe
Prince called you in.

788
00:36:32,315 --> 00:36:34,150
- He promised us some time.
- He didn't call me in.

789
00:36:34,150 --> 00:36:35,318
The lawsuit
hasn't been filed yet.

790
00:36:35,318 --> 00:36:36,694
A bluff. What's the play?

791
00:36:36,694 --> 00:36:38,196
You can't eradicate cockroaches

792
00:36:38,196 --> 00:36:40,364
without scaring them
out of hiding.

793
00:36:48,581 --> 00:36:50,541
[Winston] <i>Yeah, hi.
I need to talk to your COO.</i>

794
00:36:50,541 --> 00:36:52,376
<i>I met with him yesterday.
We need to fast track</i>

795
00:36:52,376 --> 00:36:53,711
<i>the software
licensing agreements,</i>

796
00:36:53,711 --> 00:36:55,129
<i>or the offer's going away.</i>

797
00:36:57,715 --> 00:36:59,425
[Wags] Do you think
anyone on the Street

798
00:36:59,425 --> 00:37:01,010
is gonna license software

799
00:37:01,010 --> 00:37:02,845
under the absolute
mountain of legal caca

800
00:37:02,845 --> 00:37:04,472
we're throwing your way?

801
00:37:04,472 --> 00:37:06,599
Your product, along
with your bank accounts,

802
00:37:06,599 --> 00:37:10,269
are gonna be frozen like
Ted Williams's fuckin' head!

803
00:37:14,649 --> 00:37:16,651
They had us wait in here
instead of in Chuck's office

804
00:37:16,651 --> 00:37:18,110
so that they could
end the conversation

805
00:37:18,110 --> 00:37:19,153
by walking out
whenever they want,

806
00:37:19,153 --> 00:37:20,863
treating us like targets.

807
00:37:20,863 --> 00:37:23,407
It's amazing the lessons
you choose to remember.

808
00:37:23,407 --> 00:37:25,785
Oh, I remember all of them.
Deploy the most effective

809
00:37:25,785 --> 00:37:27,119
and let the rest dangle.

810
00:37:27,119 --> 00:37:28,829
Which are you deploying today?

811
00:37:28,829 --> 00:37:32,250
We're here because
we have the same goal:

812
00:37:32,250 --> 00:37:34,418
for my candidate to be
operating squeaky clean,

813
00:37:34,418 --> 00:37:36,879
behind glass so clear,
it kills birds.

814
00:37:36,879 --> 00:37:39,006
The PAC is just
that transparent.

815
00:37:39,006 --> 00:37:41,509
We assume you've already
reviewed our FEC disclosure.

816
00:37:41,509 --> 00:37:43,094
We're here to answer
any questions.

817
00:37:43,094 --> 00:37:44,762
I guess it's
the "show up voluntarily

818
00:37:44,762 --> 00:37:46,889
to appear innocent" lesson,
but our policy

819
00:37:46,889 --> 00:37:49,433
is to ask questions
on our schedule, not yours.

820
00:37:49,433 --> 00:37:52,019
Eh, no, I do have one, actually.
For all of them.

821
00:37:52,019 --> 00:37:53,938
One I've asked Scooter before:

822
00:37:53,938 --> 00:37:57,275
What's the going price for
one's soul these days? Hmm?

823
00:37:57,275 --> 00:37:59,193
Well, a lesson from
my side of the street

824
00:37:59,193 --> 00:38:00,987
is never answer
a hypothetical.

825
00:38:00,987 --> 00:38:02,947
So, since I'm the guy
with no history here,

826
00:38:02,947 --> 00:38:05,992
might I suggest we turn this
slightly professional.

827
00:38:05,992 --> 00:38:07,868
Mr. Rhoades,
we sent over the documents

828
00:38:07,868 --> 00:38:09,870
so you'd have
an opportunity to vet them.

829
00:38:09,870 --> 00:38:11,872
That seemed the best way
for all parties to ensure

830
00:38:11,872 --> 00:38:15,042
that an often dirty process
is as pure as Crater Lake.

831
00:38:15,042 --> 00:38:16,794
[chuckles]

832
00:38:16,794 --> 00:38:18,546
Yes, well, the lake is pure
because it isn't

833
00:38:18,546 --> 00:38:20,172
fed by any rivers and streams,

834
00:38:20,172 --> 00:38:22,133
so there's no opportunity
for pollution--

835
00:38:22,133 --> 00:38:24,302
the opposite of
a fucking Super PAC,

836
00:38:24,302 --> 00:38:25,886
which tries to onboard as many

837
00:38:25,886 --> 00:38:27,638
dirty streams of cash
as possible.

838
00:38:31,392 --> 00:38:32,977
[chuckles]

839
00:38:34,437 --> 00:38:36,814
But...

840
00:38:36,814 --> 00:38:39,483
I won't know the specifics
until I take a look.

841
00:38:39,483 --> 00:38:42,069
And the fact is, I haven't
even had a chance yet.

842
00:38:42,069 --> 00:38:45,823
- Really.
- Really.

843
00:38:45,823 --> 00:38:47,992
It's what the man said.
It's what the man meant.

844
00:38:47,992 --> 00:38:50,328
And when I do,
if I have questions,

845
00:38:50,328 --> 00:38:52,330
you will be hearing from me.

846
00:39:07,303 --> 00:39:09,096
- That was an opportunity.
- [sighs]

847
00:39:09,096 --> 00:39:10,431
This is.

848
00:39:12,141 --> 00:39:14,060
You know what
Amanda found in that filing.

849
00:39:14,060 --> 00:39:16,645
- Let's hit 'em.
- This is not our shot at Prince.

850
00:39:16,645 --> 00:39:18,898
What are you doing?

851
00:39:18,898 --> 00:39:21,359
I'm being smart.
Restrained. Tactical.

852
00:39:21,359 --> 00:39:23,694
Bullshit, buddy.
This is fear.

853
00:39:23,694 --> 00:39:26,322
Oh, come on.
You saw them, baiting me.

854
00:39:26,322 --> 00:39:28,366
They want me to find something,

855
00:39:28,366 --> 00:39:30,743
for some reason not yet obvious.

856
00:39:30,743 --> 00:39:33,662
But what is clear is that
all this would end, at minimum,

857
00:39:33,662 --> 00:39:35,206
with egg on my face.

858
00:39:35,206 --> 00:39:37,833
My dignity--
that, I will not lose.

859
00:39:37,833 --> 00:39:40,753
Your dignity? Chuck,
this isn't just about you.

860
00:39:40,753 --> 00:39:42,505
[scoffs] I'm sorry
I pulled you away

861
00:39:42,505 --> 00:39:43,839
from the high-dollar chase.

862
00:39:43,839 --> 00:39:45,049
You already miss it that much

863
00:39:45,049 --> 00:39:46,300
you're ready to go back?

864
00:39:47,843 --> 00:39:50,221
No. And it's not just about me.

865
00:39:50,221 --> 00:39:51,555
There's an office
full of people out there

866
00:39:51,555 --> 00:39:53,349
putting forth
their best efforts.

867
00:39:53,349 --> 00:39:55,810
So that's on the line.
And their careers, too.

868
00:39:55,810 --> 00:39:58,729
When they woke up to the news
that you were going to return,

869
00:39:58,729 --> 00:40:00,356
they all told themselves

870
00:40:00,356 --> 00:40:01,899
they were finally
gonna be able to do something.

871
00:40:01,899 --> 00:40:03,234
They'd finally live up to
the essays

872
00:40:03,234 --> 00:40:05,194
they wrote
to get into law school

873
00:40:05,194 --> 00:40:07,405
because they'd finally
be working for a great man.

874
00:40:09,073 --> 00:40:12,243
And I know this to be true.

875
00:40:12,243 --> 00:40:14,412
Okay, so the only one
who needs to remember is you.

876
00:40:16,831 --> 00:40:18,165
[door opens]

877
00:40:19,792 --> 00:40:21,001
[door closes]

878
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:29,135
Hey.

879
00:40:29,135 --> 00:40:31,762
If someone lusts
after you every day,

880
00:40:31,762 --> 00:40:33,931
they probably
also make moves.

881
00:40:33,931 --> 00:40:36,142
Maybe moves they shouldn't,

882
00:40:36,142 --> 00:40:39,562
to impress, ingratiate, seduce?

883
00:40:39,562 --> 00:40:41,814
Hopefully... illegal ones.

884
00:40:41,814 --> 00:40:43,941
So, what were they?

885
00:40:43,941 --> 00:40:45,776
I don't want Winston's

886
00:40:45,776 --> 00:40:47,778
metaphorical death
on my conscience.

887
00:40:47,778 --> 00:40:48,946
He was like
my annoying little brother.

888
00:40:48,946 --> 00:40:50,698
I'm not gonna be a part of this.

889
00:40:50,698 --> 00:40:52,783
Do you understand that
getting that software back

890
00:40:52,783 --> 00:40:55,327
is the single most important
thing to MPC right now?

891
00:40:55,327 --> 00:40:58,497
It's either him or us.

892
00:41:00,124 --> 00:41:01,959
Okay.

893
00:41:01,959 --> 00:41:04,128
He bragged about
some hacktivist stuff,

894
00:41:04,128 --> 00:41:07,047
but I honestly didn't listen
when he talked most of the time.

895
00:41:07,047 --> 00:41:09,133
He was probably just
making shit up to impress me.

896
00:41:09,133 --> 00:41:10,301
Hm.

897
00:41:12,344 --> 00:41:14,555
- But...
- But what?

898
00:41:16,182 --> 00:41:19,643
Okay, I didn't ask him to do it.

899
00:41:19,643 --> 00:41:22,771
But last May,
Winston hacked the DMV

900
00:41:22,771 --> 00:41:25,357
to remove points from my license
when I was about to lose it.

901
00:41:25,357 --> 00:41:28,194
How many points did you have?

902
00:41:28,194 --> 00:41:30,613
I like to go fast.

903
00:41:30,613 --> 00:41:33,657
[chuckles] That's my girl.

904
00:41:33,657 --> 00:41:37,495
I gonna need the date and time
of that hack for my guy.

905
00:41:37,495 --> 00:41:39,455
[sighs]

906
00:41:39,455 --> 00:41:41,123
[door closes]

907
00:41:42,750 --> 00:41:45,294
I sent some of our gang in
to talk to Chuck.

908
00:41:45,294 --> 00:41:47,046
The theory being?

909
00:41:47,046 --> 00:41:49,632
That he's coming for me.
I want to know from where.

910
00:41:49,632 --> 00:41:52,051
- And now you do?
- I do not.

911
00:41:52,051 --> 00:41:54,512
They said he seemed
different, muted.

912
00:41:54,512 --> 00:41:57,264
Disinterested even.

913
00:41:57,264 --> 00:41:59,808
Their instinct is
he's not coming.

914
00:41:59,808 --> 00:42:02,478
Was that just a posture?
I'm not sure.

915
00:42:02,478 --> 00:42:06,524
Could be he has other things
to focus on in his new job.

916
00:42:06,524 --> 00:42:08,192
He wouldn't be alone in that.

917
00:42:09,902 --> 00:42:12,821
You'd rather talk about
why I have a need to know,

918
00:42:12,821 --> 00:42:14,615
why I'm engaged in that

919
00:42:14,615 --> 00:42:16,951
instead of keeping my eyes
forward on my own business.

920
00:42:16,951 --> 00:42:19,203
I don't want to get into
anything you don't want to.

921
00:42:19,203 --> 00:42:21,038
[Prince]
And if I asked you to go in?

922
00:42:21,038 --> 00:42:23,207
To talk to Chuck,

923
00:42:23,207 --> 00:42:25,793
have a look for yourself,

924
00:42:25,793 --> 00:42:28,212
see what's going on
and give me some guidance?

925
00:42:28,212 --> 00:42:30,714
I'd say no way, bad idea.

926
00:42:30,714 --> 00:42:32,550
Any more contact,
and he's going to start

927
00:42:32,550 --> 00:42:34,343
believing there's
something there.

928
00:42:34,343 --> 00:42:36,262
You don't want to convert
your search for intel

929
00:42:36,262 --> 00:42:37,721
into motivation for him, do you?

930
00:42:39,223 --> 00:42:40,391
I do not.

931
00:42:41,809 --> 00:42:43,018
Good call.

932
00:42:56,115 --> 00:42:57,408
[knocking on door]

933
00:42:57,408 --> 00:42:58,742
Hm.

934
00:43:01,662 --> 00:43:02,788
Here.

935
00:43:10,629 --> 00:43:12,089
I figured
the one you had was old.

936
00:43:12,089 --> 00:43:13,382
You should have a current one.

937
00:43:13,382 --> 00:43:15,009
Yeah, well, the one I have,

938
00:43:15,009 --> 00:43:16,844
they're much younger.
You're in it.

939
00:43:18,596 --> 00:43:20,681
Thank you.

940
00:43:20,681 --> 00:43:23,100
I heard some people from
the firm paid a visit today.

941
00:43:23,100 --> 00:43:25,603
And yet, I didn't
like what I learned.

942
00:43:25,603 --> 00:43:28,856
Anytime I hear Chuck Rhoades
is muted instead of pugnacious,

943
00:43:28,856 --> 00:43:30,274
it's cause for worry.

944
00:43:30,274 --> 00:43:33,402
[chuckles]
You don't worry, you dig.

945
00:43:33,402 --> 00:43:34,862
Wh-what are you digging for now?

946
00:43:34,862 --> 00:43:36,530
Nothing.

947
00:43:36,530 --> 00:43:38,616
I just don't like
the cooled-off version of you.

948
00:43:38,616 --> 00:43:41,118
Pot, kettle, Wend.
You've been frozen so long,

949
00:43:41,118 --> 00:43:44,121
the very temperature of the room
drops when you walk in.

950
00:43:44,121 --> 00:43:45,456
Did Prince send you?

951
00:43:45,456 --> 00:43:48,125
He's not sweating
his disclosure.

952
00:43:49,627 --> 00:43:51,170
Besides, if he had,
would I have come?

953
00:43:51,170 --> 00:43:52,671
Am I some errand girl?

954
00:43:52,671 --> 00:43:55,424
No, I suppose not.

955
00:43:55,424 --> 00:43:59,303
Though I don't know
what you are.

956
00:43:59,303 --> 00:44:02,222
I just hope whatever
you're doing here

957
00:44:02,222 --> 00:44:04,183
works out okay
for them this time.

958
00:44:08,812 --> 00:44:11,482
You got to the kid.

959
00:44:11,482 --> 00:44:14,568
He called them all,
so we've got the list.

960
00:44:14,568 --> 00:44:17,988
Two firms that he approached
yesterday, three today.

961
00:44:17,988 --> 00:44:20,449
Deals are being drawn up.

962
00:44:20,449 --> 00:44:24,244
He set a follow-up presentation
at his co-working space

963
00:44:24,244 --> 00:44:26,455
with all five CEOs tomorrow.

964
00:44:26,455 --> 00:44:28,749
Plan is to
ink the contracts there

965
00:44:28,749 --> 00:44:31,001
before any lawsuits land on him.

966
00:44:32,544 --> 00:44:36,173
Bravissimo, Hall.
And the coding signature?

967
00:44:37,466 --> 00:44:39,927
Hell of a laundry list,
you were right.

968
00:44:41,387 --> 00:44:42,513
That's the one.

969
00:44:43,722 --> 00:44:45,849
You want to bury him like that?

970
00:44:45,849 --> 00:44:48,894
Damn right. [laughs]

971
00:44:48,894 --> 00:44:50,771
This is the fucking shovel.

972
00:44:51,855 --> 00:44:53,524
Now let's put on a show.

973
00:45:01,365 --> 00:45:03,283
[Wendy] I don't regret keeping
them on the hamster wheel.

974
00:45:03,283 --> 00:45:05,035
That's my job,

975
00:45:05,035 --> 00:45:07,204
to keep personnel in place,
happy enough to deliver.

976
00:45:07,204 --> 00:45:10,541
But I didn't choose
that wheel for myself.

977
00:45:11,959 --> 00:45:13,168
And yet...

978
00:45:14,420 --> 00:45:16,588
you want to know...

979
00:45:16,588 --> 00:45:20,175
why you can't leave.

980
00:45:20,175 --> 00:45:24,680
I want to know why I sometimes
feel like an errand girl.

981
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:26,390
I know I'm not, but...

982
00:45:28,183 --> 00:45:29,727
Also, I kind of am.

983
00:45:29,727 --> 00:45:31,437
I keep doing
other people's bidding.

984
00:45:32,896 --> 00:45:34,857
You know, I can leave.

985
00:45:34,857 --> 00:45:37,568
- It's just that I don't.
- Mm-hmm.

986
00:45:37,568 --> 00:45:41,572
There's nothing stopping me,
contractual or financial.

987
00:45:41,572 --> 00:45:43,574
I tell myself it's
the fate of those very people

988
00:45:43,574 --> 00:45:45,325
that I'm keeping on the wheel,

989
00:45:45,325 --> 00:45:46,994
and the fate of
a great many people beyond,

990
00:45:46,994 --> 00:45:49,246
as well, that won't let me go.

991
00:45:49,246 --> 00:45:51,248
So...

992
00:45:51,248 --> 00:45:54,209
you're either an errand girl

993
00:45:54,209 --> 00:45:58,255
or Christ-like in your desire
to serve the wastrels.

994
00:45:58,255 --> 00:46:00,466
Feeling their pain.
Making it your own.

995
00:46:00,466 --> 00:46:01,884
You salve them.

996
00:46:01,884 --> 00:46:04,720
And ready them, again,

997
00:46:04,720 --> 00:46:07,264
to put their souls in peril.

998
00:46:08,891 --> 00:46:10,309
I... I don't know.

999
00:46:12,686 --> 00:46:14,855
I just know you were right.

1000
00:46:14,855 --> 00:46:17,816
I can be more than this.

1001
00:46:17,816 --> 00:46:18,984
I have to be.

1002
00:46:21,487 --> 00:46:23,947
And I want to start that work.

1003
00:46:23,947 --> 00:46:25,365
That's wonderful.

1004
00:46:26,575 --> 00:46:28,368
I'll get you some referrals.

1005
00:46:28,368 --> 00:46:31,914
No, no. You break it,
you buy it, Eleanor.

1006
00:46:31,914 --> 00:46:35,209
That's what you think?
That I broke you? [scoffs]

1007
00:46:35,209 --> 00:46:37,461
[Wendy] No. I'm not gonna
give you that much credit. Yet.

1008
00:46:37,461 --> 00:46:40,130
But you did show me that
whatever it was I'm clinging to

1009
00:46:40,130 --> 00:46:42,966
to stay above water
is drowning me instead.

1010
00:46:44,843 --> 00:46:46,720
That's why it has to be you.

1011
00:46:46,720 --> 00:46:50,140
Having started
at odds like this,

1012
00:46:50,140 --> 00:46:52,017
it isn't ideal.

1013
00:46:56,855 --> 00:46:59,650
Neither is the human condition,
yet we continue to lump it.

1014
00:47:22,548 --> 00:47:23,715
[sighs]

1015
00:47:31,223 --> 00:47:34,142
I've already had a night, Karl.

1016
00:47:34,142 --> 00:47:35,853
What's so important
I had to haul it

1017
00:47:35,853 --> 00:47:37,729
all the way up to 122nd?

1018
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:44,111
Ah! [chuckles]

1019
00:47:44,111 --> 00:47:46,530
So this is
an intervention, then.

1020
00:47:46,530 --> 00:47:50,033
That's why you brought me
to the final resting place

1021
00:47:50,033 --> 00:47:52,327
of Ulysses S. Grant.

1022
00:47:52,327 --> 00:47:55,706
To remind me that
the venerated Union general

1023
00:47:55,706 --> 00:47:58,542
stood tall
after the loss at Shiloh.

1024
00:47:58,542 --> 00:47:59,710
Right?

1025
00:48:01,169 --> 00:48:02,713
[Chuck] And what did
Lincoln say to those

1026
00:48:02,713 --> 00:48:04,423
calling for his removal?

1027
00:48:04,423 --> 00:48:08,886
"I can't spare this man;
he fights."

1028
00:48:10,679 --> 00:48:13,056
Yeah, where would we be
if Grant hadn't gone on

1029
00:48:13,056 --> 00:48:15,726
to fight at Chattanooga
and Vicksburg?

1030
00:48:18,020 --> 00:48:20,439
You hoped this would
awaken my fight.

1031
00:48:21,523 --> 00:48:23,191
But fighting is not my problem.

1032
00:48:23,191 --> 00:48:27,404
I am ready to fight.
I am not ready to lose.

1033
00:48:29,698 --> 00:48:31,491
Not again.

1034
00:48:31,491 --> 00:48:33,285
You're a great man.

1035
00:48:33,285 --> 00:48:35,245
But that isn't why
we've asked you to meet.

1036
00:48:35,245 --> 00:48:37,414
The reason's inside.

1037
00:48:37,414 --> 00:48:40,751
[suspenseful music]

1038
00:48:40,751 --> 00:48:42,961
[Chuck sighs]

1039
00:48:56,433 --> 00:48:58,393
Well, that's
one hell of a twist.

1040
00:48:58,393 --> 00:48:59,603
[chuckles]

1041
00:49:06,902 --> 00:49:08,362
Hey there, Chuck.

1042
00:49:08,362 --> 00:49:09,696
Well...

1043
00:49:09,696 --> 00:49:11,657
[door closes]

1044
00:49:11,657 --> 00:49:13,241
It's nice to meet you, sir.

1045
00:49:13,241 --> 00:49:14,660
Uh...

1046
00:49:14,660 --> 00:49:17,037
I've long held you
in admiration.

1047
00:49:17,037 --> 00:49:19,289
I hear you've got
a case of the yips, my man.

1048
00:49:19,289 --> 00:49:20,707
[chuckles] The yips.

1049
00:49:20,707 --> 00:49:23,877
Yeah, I wish it was the yips.

1050
00:49:23,877 --> 00:49:28,757
It's elemental. My next move
needs to be perfect.

1051
00:49:28,757 --> 00:49:30,801
I need a win.

1052
00:49:30,801 --> 00:49:32,386
I'm familiar with that pressure.

1053
00:49:32,386 --> 00:49:34,096
Well, you mastered it.

1054
00:49:34,096 --> 00:49:36,348
You learned to use
the pressure to serve you.

1055
00:49:36,348 --> 00:49:38,600
Your record's beyond compare.

1056
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:40,143
Well, you know,
Coach Wooden said that

1057
00:49:40,143 --> 00:49:41,895
as long as you do
your personal best,

1058
00:49:41,895 --> 00:49:44,481
- you've won.
- And that worked for you?

1059
00:49:44,481 --> 00:49:45,899
For a while.

1060
00:49:45,899 --> 00:49:47,818
And then we made
a trip down to Houston

1061
00:49:47,818 --> 00:49:50,404
- to visit Mr. Hayes.
- [chuckles] That's understood.

1062
00:49:50,404 --> 00:49:52,322
And it destroyed your
perfect season.

1063
00:49:52,322 --> 00:49:54,408
- Must've been devastating.
- Yeah, I was rocked.

1064
00:49:54,408 --> 00:49:55,492
[Chuck] Yeah.

1065
00:49:55,492 --> 00:49:57,411
But that loss made me.

1066
00:49:57,411 --> 00:49:59,579
- Mm-hmm.
- It helped...

1067
00:49:59,579 --> 00:50:01,832
make me into the player
that I wanted to be.

1068
00:50:01,832 --> 00:50:03,625
- Yeah.
- And of course,

1069
00:50:03,625 --> 00:50:05,669
when the tournament came around,

1070
00:50:05,669 --> 00:50:07,838
it really made it sweet
to kick their asses.

1071
00:50:07,838 --> 00:50:10,507
[laughs] Yeah, but...

1072
00:50:10,507 --> 00:50:12,009
the fear getting there.

1073
00:50:12,009 --> 00:50:13,844
I mean, how do you
keep that at bay?

1074
00:50:15,554 --> 00:50:20,183
I grew up in 1960s America
looking like this.

1075
00:50:20,183 --> 00:50:21,977
People wanted to kill me.

1076
00:50:21,977 --> 00:50:24,813
I've battled leukemia,
open heart surgery,

1077
00:50:24,813 --> 00:50:27,816
cancer, fire, and racism.

1078
00:50:29,693 --> 00:50:32,362
You think I'd ever be afraid
of missing a damn skyhook

1079
00:50:32,362 --> 00:50:33,530
after all of that?

1080
00:50:33,530 --> 00:50:36,033
I do not imagine you would. No.

1081
00:50:36,033 --> 00:50:37,534
Yeah. Right.

1082
00:50:37,534 --> 00:50:38,869
Chuck...

1083
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:42,164
people like us keep after it

1084
00:50:42,164 --> 00:50:43,874
because we know

1085
00:50:43,874 --> 00:50:46,293
it's a crime
to waste what we have.

1086
00:50:47,627 --> 00:50:49,880
If we don't take the shot...

1087
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:52,257
who the hell else will?

1088
00:51:07,189 --> 00:51:10,233
This is why you need...

1089
00:51:15,614 --> 00:51:17,991
WDE.

1090
00:51:17,991 --> 00:51:19,076
[door opens]

1091
00:51:21,453 --> 00:51:23,413
Wait. What are you doing here?

1092
00:51:23,413 --> 00:51:25,165
We heard there was
gonna be a show.

1093
00:51:26,458 --> 00:51:28,293
[door closes]

1094
00:51:28,293 --> 00:51:30,420
[jubilant music plays]

1095
00:51:33,632 --> 00:51:37,761
Winston, This is Your Life.

1096
00:51:37,761 --> 00:51:40,430
The fuck?
You hijacked my presentation--

1097
00:51:40,430 --> 00:51:42,641
You were born in 1989

1098
00:51:42,641 --> 00:51:46,394
in Ardsley, New York,
to parents Freddie and Carlene.

1099
00:51:46,394 --> 00:51:47,979
Excelled in school.
Then to MIT,

1100
00:51:47,979 --> 00:51:50,273
where you had your first
and only girlfriend.

1101
00:51:50,273 --> 00:51:52,067
But she dumped you.
I wonder why that was.

1102
00:51:52,067 --> 00:51:53,652
- I...
- [Wags] Perhaps

1103
00:51:53,652 --> 00:51:55,612
your internet search history
has the answers.

1104
00:52:03,286 --> 00:52:05,080
Also while in Beantown,

1105
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:06,915
you hacked the College Board
to change the SAT scores

1106
00:52:06,915 --> 00:52:08,583
of Boston Latin students.

1107
00:52:08,583 --> 00:52:11,461
You're so good,
Winston. Do you know that?

1108
00:52:11,461 --> 00:52:13,797
So singular in your talent

1109
00:52:13,797 --> 00:52:16,883
that your coding signature
is unique.

1110
00:52:16,883 --> 00:52:18,635
Immediately identifiable.

1111
00:52:18,635 --> 00:52:20,929
- Oh, fuck!
- [Wags] That's right!

1112
00:52:20,929 --> 00:52:22,556
And we found that
it's been used to hack

1113
00:52:22,556 --> 00:52:24,307
several government agencies.

1114
00:52:24,307 --> 00:52:26,560
This includes a NATO breach

1115
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:29,146
in which a gigabyte
of classified information

1116
00:52:29,146 --> 00:52:33,316
was stolen and posted online
to prove NATO's vulnerabilities.

1117
00:52:33,316 --> 00:52:36,319
Heroic in some lights,

1118
00:52:36,319 --> 00:52:38,697
but fucking illegal
in all others.

1119
00:52:38,697 --> 00:52:41,199
That attack was attributed to
the group which you, Winston,

1120
00:52:41,199 --> 00:52:44,536
have been part of
for at least a decade.

1121
00:52:44,536 --> 00:52:46,705
I-- Where did you get this?

1122
00:52:46,705 --> 00:52:48,039
Rian rolled on your ass.

1123
00:52:48,039 --> 00:52:50,542
Kid...

1124
00:52:50,542 --> 00:52:53,170
I know how it feels to have
your purpose

1125
00:52:53,170 --> 00:52:55,130
sucked out from beneath you.

1126
00:52:55,130 --> 00:52:57,507
But let us point
to the road back.

1127
00:52:57,507 --> 00:52:59,050
[Sacker] You will surrender
the software immediately,

1128
00:52:59,050 --> 00:53:01,219
as it is the property of
Michael Prince Capital,

1129
00:53:01,219 --> 00:53:04,681
or all this goes very,
very public. Like, FBI public.

1130
00:53:04,681 --> 00:53:06,933
But cooperate,
and MPC will license

1131
00:53:06,933 --> 00:53:08,310
a lesser version to
the rest of the Street.

1132
00:53:08,310 --> 00:53:09,686
Keeping the best for us,
of course.

1133
00:53:09,686 --> 00:53:11,188
And you can run it.

1134
00:53:11,188 --> 00:53:12,439
I think that's
the better choice.

1135
00:53:12,439 --> 00:53:13,857
That isn't a real choice.

1136
00:53:13,857 --> 00:53:15,317
Isn't pretending
beneath you, Taylor?

1137
00:53:15,317 --> 00:53:16,860
You're right.
There is no choice.

1138
00:53:16,860 --> 00:53:18,862
You have five minutes
before your customers

1139
00:53:18,862 --> 00:53:20,655
start arriving for the pitch.

1140
00:53:20,655 --> 00:53:22,949
So... pull yourself together, DocuSign,

1141
00:53:22,949 --> 00:53:25,452
and pitch the shit out of them,
or we have calls to make.

1142
00:53:27,579 --> 00:53:31,458
Oh, and we've renamed it.
Trojan Defense.

1143
00:53:31,458 --> 00:53:33,877
Winston Dick Energy
is a name only a man

1144
00:53:33,877 --> 00:53:37,005
with a very, very, small
energy source would choose.

1145
00:53:37,005 --> 00:53:40,383
It's... around
the national average.

1146
00:53:45,430 --> 00:53:47,724
Utterly brutal, Wags.
I mean that as a compliment.

1147
00:53:47,724 --> 00:53:49,935
Wouldn't take it any other way.

1148
00:53:49,935 --> 00:53:52,562
And please, spread this tale
far and wide.

1149
00:53:52,562 --> 00:53:54,231
To anyone who will listen.

1150
00:53:59,110 --> 00:54:01,863
[indistinct chatter]

1151
00:54:05,325 --> 00:54:06,952
Time to send a message.

1152
00:54:06,952 --> 00:54:09,579
The PAC is, as we said,
likely a misdirect.

1153
00:54:09,579 --> 00:54:11,706
All signs point to him
self-funding.

1154
00:54:11,706 --> 00:54:15,210
[Chuck] Mm. But let's open an
investigation on Michael Prince

1155
00:54:15,210 --> 00:54:18,213
for conspiring to violate
the ban on foreign donations

1156
00:54:18,213 --> 00:54:19,589
and contributions in connection

1157
00:54:19,589 --> 00:54:21,258
with federal
and state elections.

1158
00:54:21,258 --> 00:54:23,593
Use it as cover
to find another way in.

1159
00:54:23,593 --> 00:54:27,013
He needs to think he's got me
running in the wrong direction.

1160
00:54:27,013 --> 00:54:28,807
It will be done.

1161
00:54:31,977 --> 00:54:34,104
- Our boy is back.
- Beautiful thing.

1162
00:54:47,659 --> 00:54:49,744
[Wendy]
When last we spoke,

1163
00:54:49,744 --> 00:54:52,914
I said I didn't want to get
into anything that you didn't.

1164
00:54:52,914 --> 00:54:54,582
But if you don't want
to get into something,

1165
00:54:54,582 --> 00:54:56,960
that's exactly
where I need to take you.

1166
00:54:58,461 --> 00:55:00,088
Otherwise, I'm failing you.

1167
00:55:00,088 --> 00:55:02,465
And I'm sorry
I did that before.

1168
00:55:02,465 --> 00:55:04,426
Understood. Thank you.

1169
00:55:04,426 --> 00:55:06,303
[door opens]

1170
00:55:06,303 --> 00:55:09,681
Chuck Rhoades is charging us
for violations on the Super PAC.

1171
00:55:09,681 --> 00:55:11,891
Good. Good.

1172
00:55:11,891 --> 00:55:14,519
Do we have the CEO's
citizenship paperwork in hand?

1173
00:55:14,519 --> 00:55:16,730
We do. Granted the same day
as the donation,

1174
00:55:16,730 --> 00:55:18,481
so it's not even
in the system yet.

1175
00:55:18,481 --> 00:55:20,608
Game on, then.

1176
00:55:20,608 --> 00:55:22,485
Nothing for him
at the end of that road.

1177
00:55:35,874 --> 00:55:38,168
What are all these?

1178
00:55:38,168 --> 00:55:41,671
Cases that are winners
but don't matter.

1179
00:55:41,671 --> 00:55:44,341
A once-vaunted lawman
called prosecutors

1180
00:55:44,341 --> 00:55:45,967
that only go after these, quote,

1181
00:55:45,967 --> 00:55:48,303
"members of
the chickenshit club."

1182
00:55:48,303 --> 00:55:50,805
Not a club I want to join.

1183
00:55:50,805 --> 00:55:52,640
Not one you'll have to

1184
00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:55,185
because we are going
after the ones that do matter,

1185
00:55:55,185 --> 00:55:57,896
starting with your
pump-and-dump case.

1186
00:55:57,896 --> 00:55:59,981
- You ready?
- More than.

1187
00:56:01,941 --> 00:56:03,526
You know, there's something
you'll have to learn

1188
00:56:03,526 --> 00:56:06,321
going after the important ones:

1189
00:56:06,321 --> 00:56:08,573
really fucking
hurts to lose.

1190
00:56:10,492 --> 00:56:13,453
Chips away pieces of you
each time.

1191
00:56:13,453 --> 00:56:17,248
Pieces you don't get back.

1192
00:56:17,248 --> 00:56:20,877
And it leaves you with no
choice but to...

1193
00:56:20,877 --> 00:56:22,837
go forward incomplete.

1194
00:56:24,714 --> 00:56:27,801
But, what, you're
all the better for it?

1195
00:56:27,801 --> 00:56:29,094
Stronger and whatnot?

1196
00:56:30,261 --> 00:56:31,388
No.

1197
00:56:33,014 --> 00:56:36,559
You just go forward
like that, missing pieces.

1198
00:56:38,269 --> 00:56:40,230
Because that's
the way you are now

1199
00:56:40,230 --> 00:56:41,981
and there's no other choice.

1200
00:56:41,981 --> 00:56:45,402
- Fuck.
- Mm-hmm. [chuckles]

1201
00:56:45,402 --> 00:56:47,904
But that's not something
to worry about today.

1202
00:56:47,904 --> 00:56:50,907
Because before all that
stuff-of-life happens,

1203
00:56:50,907 --> 00:56:53,326
we are gonna
win cases aplenty.

1204
00:56:53,326 --> 00:56:56,329
I goddamn guarantee you that.

["A World Without Heroes"
by Kiss plays]

1206
00:57:01,751 --> 00:57:05,505
<i>A world without heroes</i>

1207
00:57:05,505 --> 00:57:08,675
<i>Is like a world without sun</i>

1208
00:57:08,675 --> 00:57:11,845
<i>You can't look up to anyone</i>

1209
00:57:11,845 --> 00:57:13,555
<i>Without heroes</i>

1210
00:57:14,764 --> 00:57:17,642
<i>A world without heroes</i>

1211
00:57:17,642 --> 00:57:21,312
<i>Is like a never-ending race</i>

1212
00:57:21,312 --> 00:57:25,275
<i>Is like a time
Without a place</i>

1213
00:57:25,275 --> 00:57:29,404
<i>A pointless thing,
Devoid of grace</i>

1214
00:57:29,404 --> 00:57:33,616
<i>Where you don't know
What you're after</i>

1215
00:57:33,616 --> 00:57:37,912
<i>Or if something's after you</i>

1216
00:57:37,912 --> 00:57:41,791
<i>And you don't know
Why you don't know</i>

1217
00:57:41,791 --> 00:57:44,461
<i>In a world without heroes</i>

1218
00:57:47,839 --> 00:57:50,633
<i>In a world
Without dreams...</i>
