1
00:00:05,772 --> 00:00:08,332
[Grigor] Previously on Billions...
2
00:00:08,441 --> 00:00:11,035
You want an unprecedented
raise in record time.
3
00:00:11,111 --> 00:00:13,238
So how are you going to help me
get the first 10 stacks?
4
00:00:13,413 --> 00:00:14,675
We need Grigor Andolov.
5
00:00:14,814 --> 00:00:18,944
I just want to see you work
a little bit harder for it.
6
00:00:19,085 --> 00:00:22,282
You breached my threshold
and threatened me.
7
00:00:22,355 --> 00:00:23,515
Just wait a second...
8
00:00:23,590 --> 00:00:25,421
Drop your credentials
at the guard's desk.
9
00:00:25,492 --> 00:00:28,689
And get the fuck out of here!
10
00:00:29,229 --> 00:00:30,253
What the fuck?
11
00:00:30,497 --> 00:00:32,158
What, exactly, did you do?
12
00:00:32,232 --> 00:00:34,257
How do I get you to break
your letter of intent
13
00:00:34,334 --> 00:00:35,460
with Oscar Langstraat?
14
00:00:35,535 --> 00:00:37,264
It basically solves our problem.
15
00:00:37,337 --> 00:00:39,362
[Taylor] You sold out my
relationship in order to do it.
16
00:00:39,439 --> 00:00:41,100
He said I was off the raise team.
17
00:00:41,174 --> 00:00:42,038
I won't stagnate.
18
00:00:42,108 --> 00:00:43,837
Not for Axe. Not for anybody.
19
00:00:43,910 --> 00:00:45,172
I'll talk to him.
20
00:00:46,513 --> 00:00:49,414
With someone like Taylor, what
they need is forward momentum,
21
00:00:49,516 --> 00:00:50,574
above all things.
22
00:00:50,784 --> 00:00:53,776
Where the fuck did Jeffcoat
get all this money?
23
00:00:53,887 --> 00:00:55,286
TexasSouthCable.
24
00:00:55,355 --> 00:00:57,016
I want you to launch an investigation
25
00:00:57,157 --> 00:01:00,456
into Jock Jeffcoat's brother
and TexasSouthCable.
26
00:01:01,127 --> 00:01:02,651
Nothing makes me feel so alive
27
00:01:02,729 --> 00:01:04,697
as putting my head in a tiger's mouth.
28
00:01:04,964 --> 00:01:07,524
We're gonna get Jock
on trying to stop it.
29
00:01:07,700 --> 00:01:09,099
Obstruction of justice.
30
00:01:09,736 --> 00:01:11,135
I'm putting you on the raise team.
31
00:01:11,237 --> 00:01:12,829
Fuckin' A. Onward and upward.
32
00:01:12,906 --> 00:01:14,305
There's gonna be 30 bil on the table,
33
00:01:14,374 --> 00:01:16,205
get ready to help me haul it outta there.
34
00:01:16,276 --> 00:01:18,540
It looks like you're ready
to get into business.
35
00:01:18,611 --> 00:01:21,205
I need a meeting
with your boss, Grigor Andolov.
36
00:01:27,487 --> 00:01:29,478
Dramatic music
37
00:01:40,300 --> 00:01:44,634
[Frank Sinatra's
"Come Fly With Me" playing]
38
00:01:44,771 --> 00:01:46,864
[Announcer] The Sands is proud to present
39
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,339
a wonderful new show,
a man and his music.
40
00:01:51,878 --> 00:01:54,472
The music of Count Basie
and his great band.
41
00:01:54,948 --> 00:01:57,109
[Band music playing]
42
00:01:58,785 --> 00:02:01,549
[Inaudible chatter]
43
00:02:05,458 --> 00:02:08,723
And the man is Frank Sinatra.
44
00:02:09,062 --> 00:02:10,120
You smell that?
45
00:02:10,964 --> 00:02:11,794
You smell that?
46
00:02:12,098 --> 00:02:13,463
That's money, son...
47
00:02:13,766 --> 00:02:15,393
People who have never been
near money will say
48
00:02:15,468 --> 00:02:17,902
"I smell money," when entering a casino
49
00:02:18,304 --> 00:02:19,965
or showing up at a sales conference.
50
00:02:20,073 --> 00:02:21,062
They, of course, can't
51
00:02:21,141 --> 00:02:23,268
because they don't know
how to recognize the scent.
52
00:02:23,376 --> 00:02:24,274
Do you?
53
00:02:24,577 --> 00:02:27,273
Like a shorthaired pointer
on a dabbling duck.
54
00:02:27,881 --> 00:02:31,612
And I am telling you, Sef, I smell money.
55
00:02:32,685 --> 00:02:34,312
[Sinatra] How did all these
people get in my room?
56
00:02:34,487 --> 00:02:35,954
[Laughter]
57
00:02:38,925 --> 00:02:42,725
Come fly with me,
we'll fly, we'll fly away
58
00:02:43,096 --> 00:02:45,929
Gentlemen, today's the day!
59
00:02:46,232 --> 00:02:48,200
- How much is on the table?
- By the close of the event,
60
00:02:48,468 --> 00:02:51,631
30 billion will be earmarked,
invested, captured.
61
00:02:51,838 --> 00:02:53,032
If we don't walk out of here
62
00:02:53,106 --> 00:02:54,164
with at least a third
of the available capital...
63
00:02:54,274 --> 00:02:56,606
I've teed this whole thing up
so that you will.
64
00:02:56,709 --> 00:02:58,199
Come fly with me
65
00:02:58,278 --> 00:02:59,609
Should I give you
"napalm in the morning"...
66
00:02:59,679 --> 00:03:00,737
I already got a version.
67
00:03:00,980 --> 00:03:02,345
Then "no vice but beggary"?
68
00:03:02,448 --> 00:03:03,608
How 'bout Nick Saban?
69
00:03:04,150 --> 00:03:05,583
[Southern accent] Roll Tide... Roll!
70
00:03:05,652 --> 00:03:06,778
That's fucking impressive.
71
00:03:07,053 --> 00:03:07,985
I count on it.
72
00:03:08,087 --> 00:03:09,019
Where's Taylor?
73
00:03:09,455 --> 00:03:10,786
I have a text. They say, "Soon.
74
00:03:10,857 --> 00:03:12,188
Organizing some last-minute things."
75
00:03:12,425 --> 00:03:14,222
Pitch doesn't work without Taylor.
76
00:03:14,761 --> 00:03:16,058
They better make it.
77
00:03:36,916 --> 00:03:41,478
I was just asking myself if I would.
78
00:03:43,056 --> 00:03:44,045
And you know what?
79
00:03:46,893 --> 00:03:47,882
I would!
80
00:03:48,228 --> 00:03:49,217
Wow.
81
00:03:49,896 --> 00:03:51,625
Every day you live this life,
82
00:03:51,698 --> 00:03:53,962
you learn something about yourself.
83
00:03:54,033 --> 00:03:55,000
Delightful!
84
00:03:56,236 --> 00:03:58,796
If you're delighted, just
imagine how it makes me feel.
85
00:03:59,906 --> 00:04:01,100
That's good.
86
00:04:01,241 --> 00:04:02,902
You didn't even flinch.
87
00:04:03,076 --> 00:04:06,170
Like the titan, Lee lacocca.
88
00:04:06,479 --> 00:04:07,844
That's important.
89
00:04:09,515 --> 00:04:10,846
To business then.
90
00:04:11,618 --> 00:04:14,451
I read your approach
in the materials you sent.
91
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:15,919
What's your market outlook?
92
00:04:16,189 --> 00:04:17,486
I could tell you that interest rates
93
00:04:17,557 --> 00:04:18,717
have topped out for the near term,
94
00:04:18,791 --> 00:04:20,691
that the tax and regulatory
climate are favorable,
95
00:04:20,793 --> 00:04:22,920
that growth is looking somewhat robust...
96
00:04:23,296 --> 00:04:25,560
I could also read your tea leaves
or the creases in your palm
97
00:04:25,632 --> 00:04:27,031
or divine the future by cleromancy...
98
00:04:27,267 --> 00:04:28,291
Cleromancy?
99
00:04:28,534 --> 00:04:30,024
Casting bones.
100
00:04:31,204 --> 00:04:32,501
But I'm no gypsy.
101
00:04:32,939 --> 00:04:35,373
So instead I'll tell you that
my anticipation and my reaction
102
00:04:35,475 --> 00:04:37,340
to moment by moment changes
in market conditions
103
00:04:37,443 --> 00:04:38,637
are lightning quick.
104
00:04:38,711 --> 00:04:40,144
And cutting edge tech,
105
00:04:40,213 --> 00:04:42,044
a quant piece that wasn't even
in place during the past year
106
00:04:42,148 --> 00:04:44,139
that reflects my
already positive results.
107
00:04:44,617 --> 00:04:46,312
Sure. But it's all words.
108
00:04:46,386 --> 00:04:49,583
And words have very little to do
with how I decide things.
109
00:04:49,756 --> 00:04:50,723
What then?
110
00:04:51,691 --> 00:04:52,885
Internal process.
111
00:04:52,959 --> 00:04:55,484
Like your casting bones. But inside.
112
00:04:55,795 --> 00:04:56,819
Last question...
113
00:04:57,463 --> 00:04:58,828
Why are you leaving Axe?
114
00:04:59,065 --> 00:05:00,896
After all, he made you.
115
00:05:02,168 --> 00:05:03,897
We can debate that statement
some other time.
116
00:05:03,970 --> 00:05:05,130
As for your question,
117
00:05:05,204 --> 00:05:06,228
the same reason you leave a house
118
00:05:06,306 --> 00:05:08,331
that has a furnace
leaking carbon monoxide.
119
00:05:08,408 --> 00:05:09,773
It's the only way to survive.
120
00:05:11,210 --> 00:05:12,609
I like this image.
121
00:05:13,646 --> 00:05:16,046
They say you can't taste it or smell it
122
00:05:16,115 --> 00:05:18,606
or even know that
it's putting you to sleep.
123
00:05:18,685 --> 00:05:20,380
But I always think I would,
124
00:05:20,953 --> 00:05:23,114
most people are already sleepwalking
125
00:05:23,189 --> 00:05:24,087
through their lives.
126
00:05:24,190 --> 00:05:25,555
So they don't even notice.
127
00:05:25,625 --> 00:05:28,822
How could they?
It's only a matter of degree.
128
00:05:28,895 --> 00:05:30,886
Dramatic music
129
00:05:38,604 --> 00:05:39,764
[Michael] You crushed it.
130
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,204
I'm glad I brokered this meeting.
131
00:05:41,274 --> 00:05:42,707
I have to talk to him, but I imagine
132
00:05:42,775 --> 00:05:44,106
money will be flowing shortly.
133
00:05:54,754 --> 00:05:56,745
So, your suite is the largest one.
134
00:05:56,889 --> 00:05:59,619
Because there is more demand
for you than we can fit.
135
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,255
- Hey, Sara.
- Hey, Axe.
136
00:06:02,328 --> 00:06:03,795
I didn't see you down on the list.
137
00:06:03,863 --> 00:06:06,161
Yeah, I'm not here to invest,
so I didn't want to take a spot.
138
00:06:06,299 --> 00:06:08,290
I know you've said you'll
never take Spanx public...
139
00:06:08,401 --> 00:06:09,231
And I won't.
140
00:06:09,435 --> 00:06:10,561
Yeah, but when you do, let me know.
141
00:06:10,636 --> 00:06:11,967
[Chuckles] See ya, Axe.
142
00:06:12,672 --> 00:06:15,163
Oh, ho, ho, I thought
the velociraptor was extinct.
143
00:06:15,341 --> 00:06:17,002
And yet it walks amongst us.
144
00:06:17,076 --> 00:06:18,839
Avelociraptor doesn't walk.
145
00:06:19,445 --> 00:06:22,972
It stalks, hunts, kills,
with great stealth and speed,
146
00:06:23,249 --> 00:06:24,409
and if you want him to prove that to you,
147
00:06:24,484 --> 00:06:26,315
- keep fucking talking.
- [Axe] Easy, pal.
148
00:06:26,919 --> 00:06:28,944
They're just jealous
'cause we got a waiting list.
149
00:06:29,021 --> 00:06:30,716
Because you're the freak show,
the ten-in-one.
150
00:06:30,790 --> 00:06:32,621
Everyone wants to take a look.
151
00:06:32,825 --> 00:06:36,056
But after they stare at
the bearded lady for five minutes,
152
00:06:36,195 --> 00:06:39,323
they'll walk down to my suite,
hand me the grisbi.
153
00:06:39,499 --> 00:06:40,625
After today, everyone will know
154
00:06:40,733 --> 00:06:42,758
that Axe Capital is just like Atlantis,
155
00:06:43,002 --> 00:06:45,800
this once great land,
now totally underwater
156
00:06:46,005 --> 00:06:48,496
and feels like a figment
of someone's imagination.
157
00:06:51,544 --> 00:06:54,342
[Indistinct conversations]
158
00:06:54,514 --> 00:06:56,880
[Siren wails in the distance]
159
00:07:02,455 --> 00:07:04,423
- [Door closes]
- [Bell dings]
160
00:07:10,229 --> 00:07:12,197
Sorry to interrupt the rebalancing
161
00:07:12,265 --> 00:07:14,199
of your lower body meridians.
162
00:07:15,835 --> 00:07:17,302
- Will you excuse us, please?
- Uh-huh.
163
00:07:23,976 --> 00:07:25,102
Target letter
164
00:07:25,912 --> 00:07:28,745
announcing the investigation
into Zeb Jeffcoat.
165
00:07:30,483 --> 00:07:32,781
Once it's signed
and the hard copy is sent
166
00:07:32,852 --> 00:07:37,050
along with the PDF,
there's no turning back.
167
00:07:37,123 --> 00:07:39,683
No. The proverbial Rubicon.
168
00:07:41,327 --> 00:07:43,488
We cross it and Jock
goes on the offensive.
169
00:07:44,497 --> 00:07:46,055
And even though that's what we want...
170
00:07:46,399 --> 00:07:47,923
Intimidating nevertheless.
171
00:07:50,837 --> 00:07:52,304
Dramatic music
172
00:08:03,149 --> 00:08:04,446
We are in the chute...
173
00:08:07,153 --> 00:08:10,281
Now, we can expect Zeb to call
his big brother immediately...
174
00:08:10,356 --> 00:08:13,587
- [inaudible cursing]
- And for him to go batshit.
175
00:08:17,330 --> 00:08:18,297
Or...
176
00:08:18,531 --> 00:08:19,862
Or he's cool as can be.
177
00:08:20,433 --> 00:08:22,025
But there's no way he's cool enough
178
00:08:22,101 --> 00:08:23,762
to simply let this play out in court.
179
00:08:23,836 --> 00:08:25,428
[Epstein] Since it would
lead back to him.
180
00:08:25,538 --> 00:08:27,005
He'll confer with his lawyers.
181
00:08:27,473 --> 00:08:29,464
[Chuck] But not in a way
that will leave a trail.
182
00:08:29,542 --> 00:08:32,409
Now, ultimately, he will
fall back and make his move
183
00:08:32,578 --> 00:08:33,943
to derail the case.
184
00:08:34,013 --> 00:08:37,847
And that attack will come
on one of two fronts.
185
00:08:38,584 --> 00:08:41,712
He will either ruin, threaten, pressure
186
00:08:41,821 --> 00:08:44,119
or otherwise discredit and destroy you,
187
00:08:44,323 --> 00:08:45,813
since you'll be bringing the case.
188
00:08:45,958 --> 00:08:47,653
Or he will try to compromise
189
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,126
who he surmises to be the star witness.
190
00:08:54,700 --> 00:08:58,534
Now, if we can leak to him
that Ashley Cutler is the key
191
00:08:58,704 --> 00:09:00,171
and is in our neck of the woods,
192
00:09:00,239 --> 00:09:01,570
Jock will likely head to New York.
193
00:09:01,641 --> 00:09:04,906
But the question is,
which move will he make first?
194
00:09:05,378 --> 00:09:08,370
If he digs on me, he'll come up
with a bouquet of begonias.
195
00:09:08,648 --> 00:09:11,742
Yes. Yes. I did as hard a vet
on you as one could do.
196
00:09:11,984 --> 00:09:13,611
I knew to get where I needed to get
197
00:09:13,786 --> 00:09:15,083
and I have to be Jackie Robinson clean.
198
00:09:15,888 --> 00:09:17,583
Then I want that witness.
199
00:09:19,292 --> 00:09:22,557
Which means he can either try his luck
with the head of the State Police,
200
00:09:22,628 --> 00:09:24,118
over whom he has no sway,
201
00:09:24,196 --> 00:09:27,893
or he can call me, and implore me
202
00:09:27,967 --> 00:09:31,562
to use my particular set
of powers to aid in his cause.
203
00:09:33,105 --> 00:09:35,596
My phone has to be the one that rings.
204
00:09:35,908 --> 00:09:38,934
Yes, we need that to happen.
205
00:09:39,445 --> 00:09:40,469
But what if it doesn't?
206
00:09:41,013 --> 00:09:43,243
You and I know Cutler is a weak witness.
207
00:09:44,350 --> 00:09:46,511
But Jock might figure that, too.
208
00:09:46,886 --> 00:09:49,218
And if he's patient enough,
he might just wait it out.
209
00:09:49,355 --> 00:09:50,617
Then you do the thing,
210
00:09:51,824 --> 00:09:54,019
impanel a grand jury, and schedule Cutler.
211
00:09:55,328 --> 00:09:58,456
It invariably leaks and Jock
knows we're going forward.
212
00:09:58,898 --> 00:10:01,526
But if, but when that call does come,
213
00:10:02,034 --> 00:10:04,434
and we know we've got him
following along,
214
00:10:04,870 --> 00:10:07,566
you can't just offer him help.
215
00:10:09,008 --> 00:10:10,600
No, he'll sniff it out, of course.
216
00:10:10,810 --> 00:10:13,438
Ask for something, big, for yourself,
217
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,748
so he believes you're in it
for your own reasons.
218
00:10:18,184 --> 00:10:21,415
And then it's time for The Prestige.
219
00:10:23,823 --> 00:10:25,552
Put your shoes on and get ready.
220
00:10:34,133 --> 00:10:37,569
[Inaudible chatter]
221
00:10:45,011 --> 00:10:46,672
Only Ricky Roma gets to show up late.
222
00:10:47,079 --> 00:10:48,944
Well, I am at the top of the board.
223
00:10:49,148 --> 00:10:50,080
What the fuck?
224
00:10:50,750 --> 00:10:51,614
Uber...
225
00:10:52,251 --> 00:10:54,776
If you're gonna go around,
go like a rich person. Take a chopper.
226
00:10:55,221 --> 00:10:57,553
I'm here now. Let's do this thing.
227
00:11:02,895 --> 00:11:04,260
Remember, they are not buying
228
00:11:04,330 --> 00:11:05,524
your proprietary trading platform,
229
00:11:05,665 --> 00:11:06,962
they are not buying your strategies,
230
00:11:07,033 --> 00:11:08,625
they are buying you.
231
00:11:09,135 --> 00:11:10,534
Remind them that we have the answers.
232
00:11:10,603 --> 00:11:12,730
That they are safe in your loving arms.
233
00:11:12,872 --> 00:11:13,861
Like Barry White.
234
00:11:14,073 --> 00:11:15,301
Oh, he'd have had them hands in the air,
235
00:11:15,374 --> 00:11:16,432
weeping and singing along.
236
00:11:16,509 --> 00:11:19,774
So, yes, exactly like Barry White.
237
00:11:22,782 --> 00:11:23,874
There are only two things
238
00:11:23,949 --> 00:11:25,746
these allocators really want to know,
239
00:11:26,018 --> 00:11:27,349
but they'll never directly ask.
240
00:11:27,453 --> 00:11:29,819
Can we be trusted? And are we special?
241
00:11:29,889 --> 00:11:31,880
We nail those. We nail this entire thing.
242
00:11:34,493 --> 00:11:36,688
[Loudly] Welcome, everybody. Welcome.
Thanks for coming.
243
00:11:36,829 --> 00:11:38,091
Now, you've read all our stuff.
244
00:11:38,330 --> 00:11:40,298
[In normal tone] You know
my Sortino ratio proves
245
00:11:40,366 --> 00:11:43,062
that we get a higher rate of
return with less downside vol.
246
00:11:43,135 --> 00:11:45,160
How we avoided the XIV liquidation
247
00:11:45,271 --> 00:11:47,000
by selling our VIX positions
248
00:11:47,073 --> 00:11:48,472
two weeks before everybody else did.
249
00:11:49,041 --> 00:11:51,168
And you know who made sure we did that?
250
00:11:52,745 --> 00:11:53,677
Taylor Mason!
251
00:11:53,813 --> 00:11:55,371
[Applause]
252
00:11:58,484 --> 00:12:00,679
Over the past year, we've seen
the lowest market correlation
253
00:12:00,753 --> 00:12:02,311
of any fund in the business.
254
00:12:02,388 --> 00:12:05,323
You will, of course,
want to know why and how.
255
00:12:05,891 --> 00:12:08,917
So, come sit in and shadow me for a day,
256
00:12:09,462 --> 00:12:12,226
because it's like asking a magician
how they do their tricks.
257
00:12:12,598 --> 00:12:14,065
We all know it's not magic.
258
00:12:14,300 --> 00:12:15,892
It's the opposite of magic.
259
00:12:16,168 --> 00:12:18,329
It's grinding, focused work,
260
00:12:18,404 --> 00:12:20,895
it's sitting on their bed
for weeks, months at a time,
261
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,338
working slip cuts, perfecting
the Elmsley Count,
262
00:12:23,409 --> 00:12:25,900
so that the audience never sees
where the cards really are.
263
00:12:27,113 --> 00:12:28,671
No. It's not magic.
264
00:12:29,014 --> 00:12:30,276
But when the effect is presented,
265
00:12:30,349 --> 00:12:32,283
it sure feels like a miracle.
266
00:12:32,351 --> 00:12:33,613
And if you invest with us, you will be
267
00:12:33,686 --> 00:12:35,916
behind the curtain with Axe and me.
268
00:12:36,021 --> 00:12:37,420
All the mysteries revealed.
269
00:12:37,623 --> 00:12:40,114
Nothing kept secret from you.
Nothing held back.
270
00:12:40,192 --> 00:12:42,057
Fully transparent work.
271
00:12:42,962 --> 00:12:43,929
I could go on but...
272
00:12:43,996 --> 00:12:45,293
But there are bars in New York City
273
00:12:45,364 --> 00:12:46,888
some of you want to hit
before they close tonight.
274
00:12:46,966 --> 00:12:48,160
[Laughter]

00:12:48,267 --> 00:12:51,430
Look, Taylor is the single most
effective manager of money
276
00:12:51,537 --> 00:12:52,629
I have ever come across.
277
00:12:53,272 --> 00:12:55,900
They are the future of Axe Capital.
278
00:12:55,975 --> 00:12:57,067
And I'm just thrilled
279
00:12:57,309 --> 00:12:58,936
that you're all gonna get the opportunity
280
00:12:59,011 --> 00:13:01,605

alongside me and the team.

something stronger.

Chuck. Pulling shit again.
288

What shit?
289
00:13:25,471 --> 00:13:27,132
He's using FBI to hide a witness
290
00:13:27,206 --> 00:13:28,571
who's bad for Jock Jeffcoat.
291
00:13:29,008 --> 00:13:30,373

292
00:13:31,243 --> 00:13:34,474
That Chuck is helping his boss's
legal troubles go away.
293

- Yeah.

Not on this one.

He's finally doing it,
Bryan. The right thing.
310
00:14:10,649 --> 00:14:13,447
He is not helping Jock
by hiding the witness...
311
00:14:14,353 --> 00:14:16,378
Jock has been telling us
which cases to pursue
312
00:14:16,455 --> 00:14:17,422
and which ones to drop.
313
00:14:17,623 --> 00:14:19,056

this time, all the way.

along too quickly...

00:17:14,233 --> 00:17:15,996

Shift the pressure of the decision
from you, to him.

to stop Taylor from officially opening?

You could file, and we will,
for intellectual property theft,

for tortious interference
for both the investor piece

have to be defended, but...

But what kind of money bump
did he give you?

00:21:55,247 --> 00:21:56,407

have to tell you, but...

Oh, no... Taylor told you
not to give me the raise.

So that I would be
dissatisfied and go with them.
470

it was, and you fell for it...

If it were me and I were standing
537
00:26:05,463 --> 00:26:09,399
as naked as Paris Hilton
and twice as fucked,
538
00:26:09,467 --> 00:26:11,162
I would not hesitate.
539
00:26:11,303 --> 00:26:12,497
I know you wouldn't.
540
00:26:14,005 --> 00:26:15,905
And that perhaps is what's called for.
541
00:26:16,608 --> 00:26:19,372
So, then, you want me to do it?
542
00:26:19,444 --> 00:26:22,470
You have to say it. I have to hear you.
543
00:26:24,983 --> 00:26:26,746
Why are you willing to do this for me?
544
00:26:26,818 --> 00:26:31,084
Look at this from my
particular set of binoculars.
545
00:26:31,156 --> 00:26:33,215
I gave you my assets.
546
00:26:33,291 --> 00:26:34,553
At least in part
547
00:26:34,626 --> 00:26:37,959
because Taylor was going
to help manage them.
548
00:26:38,430 --> 00:26:42,298
So when they fucked you over,
they fucked me over, too.
549
00:26:42,367 --> 00:26:45,427
But I ask your permission
because, really,
550
00:26:45,503 --> 00:26:48,063
she is your property. Not mine.
551
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,099
Well, I'm grateful for your loyalty.
552
00:26:52,477 --> 00:26:54,274
My loyalties are clear.
553
00:26:54,779 --> 00:26:56,542
Can I respond by tomorrow?
554
00:26:56,615 --> 00:26:57,639
Sure.
555
00:26:58,550 --> 00:27:00,916
Shame about Taylor. So smart.
556
00:27:00,986 --> 00:27:02,283
Loss for everyone.
557
00:27:04,155 --> 00:27:05,486
[Hall] You seemed to take that seriously.
558
00:27:05,590 --> 00:27:06,682
Damn right.
559
00:27:06,758 --> 00:27:08,658
When I've suggested
such actions in the past,
560
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,227
you never even considered it.
561
00:27:11,062 --> 00:27:13,053
Well, once a guy like that
puts it on the table,
562
00:27:13,131 --> 00:27:15,861
you have to think about
what happens if you say no
563
00:27:16,034 --> 00:27:18,002
as much as if you say yes.
564
00:27:19,671 --> 00:27:21,901
If you decide on something this final,
565
00:27:21,973 --> 00:27:24,271
it shouldn't be farmed out,
it should be done in-house.
566
00:27:25,276 --> 00:27:27,267
Yeah. Maybe. I don't know.
567
00:27:28,279 --> 00:27:30,474
Look, I need to think about
what other options I have.
568
00:27:30,548 --> 00:27:33,676
And how to protect myself
no matter which choice I make.
569
00:27:34,886 --> 00:27:36,581
And I need to look Taylor in the eye.
570
00:27:36,755 --> 00:27:38,154
[Elevator bell chimes]
571
00:28:01,713 --> 00:28:02,907
Shit, Axe,
572
00:28:04,082 --> 00:28:06,744
look, it was time for a change.
573
00:28:07,652 --> 00:28:09,142
I'm sure you thought so, too.
574
00:28:09,754 --> 00:28:10,982
I want to thank you, of course.
575
00:28:12,090 --> 00:28:13,421
Figured I would when the dust settled...
576
00:28:13,525 --> 00:28:15,186
Shut the fuck up, Mafee.
577
00:28:16,561 --> 00:28:18,461
You did what you did, you got your money,
578
00:28:19,531 --> 00:28:20,998
but no amount I give to charity
579
00:28:21,066 --> 00:28:24,502
will help me atone for the ass fucking
I will give you in this business.
580
00:28:25,203 --> 00:28:26,431
You hearing me?
581
00:28:29,007 --> 00:28:30,998
Now go get your new fucking master.
582
00:28:48,259 --> 00:28:50,250
The palace coup is complete.
583
00:28:51,696 --> 00:28:54,096
Today you settled all family business.
584
00:28:54,799 --> 00:28:56,232
I get that you're angry.
585
00:28:56,301 --> 00:28:59,134
But I think it's because
I left before you could finish me off.
586
00:28:59,904 --> 00:29:01,462
You think I was acting against you?
587
00:29:02,607 --> 00:29:04,734
The undercutting, the manipulation,
588
00:29:04,809 --> 00:29:06,640
and public, and private, humiliation.
589
00:29:06,778 --> 00:29:08,609
The lies and broken promises.
590
00:29:08,780 --> 00:29:11,214
All while I good-soldiered it
and made you money.
591
00:29:11,316 --> 00:29:12,510
But how long, really, was it going to be
592
00:29:12,684 --> 00:29:14,413
before you sent me off to slaughter?
593
00:29:14,519 --> 00:29:15,679
Wrong.
594
00:29:16,454 --> 00:29:19,048
I wasn't getting rid of you
or working against you.
595
00:29:19,657 --> 00:29:21,648
You were on the inside.
596
00:29:21,726 --> 00:29:23,421
We were succeeding together.
597
00:29:23,862 --> 00:29:26,831
I trusted you in a way that
I almost never trust anyone.
598
00:29:26,898 --> 00:29:30,197
It may have seemed unorthodox,
but that's the truth of it.
599
00:29:30,368 --> 00:29:31,995
And now you've taken from me.
600
00:29:32,570 --> 00:29:35,562
You've stolen from me,
under false pretenses.
601
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,540
And you've betrayed me.
602
00:29:37,675 --> 00:29:40,439
I did what I had to do
to survive. And to win.
603
00:29:40,578 --> 00:29:41,909
You've got to understand that.
604
00:29:41,980 --> 00:29:43,811
I did it for me, not against you.
605
00:29:45,316 --> 00:29:46,340
Sure.
606
00:29:47,018 --> 00:29:48,007
Right.
607
00:29:48,086 --> 00:29:50,316
Congratulations,
now you have your own shop,
608
00:29:50,388 --> 00:29:51,514
billions under management.
609
00:29:51,589 --> 00:29:53,079
You're moving even quicker than I did.
610
00:29:53,191 --> 00:29:55,785
Yes. I'll surpass
your assets under management,
611
00:29:55,894 --> 00:29:57,919
at the rate I calculate,
in three years at the earliest,
612
00:29:57,996 --> 00:29:59,020
eight at the latest.
613
00:29:59,731 --> 00:30:00,993
Maybe.
614
00:30:01,466 --> 00:30:02,990
You're ready for the summit.
615
00:30:03,635 --> 00:30:05,830
But you know what they call
that spot up on Everest?
616
00:30:07,105 --> 00:30:08,504
The Death Zone.
617
00:30:09,174 --> 00:30:12,541
Some people that make it up,
and then they make it back home.
618
00:30:12,844 --> 00:30:15,870
But there are countless more,
fucking dead,
619
00:30:15,947 --> 00:30:18,848
encased in ice for all time.
620
00:30:19,217 --> 00:30:20,514
That's where you are now.
621
00:30:21,853 --> 00:30:23,912
And very few people can even survive
622
00:30:24,022 --> 00:30:25,956
on the available oxygen up here.
623
00:30:26,024 --> 00:30:28,254
Even fewer can perform.
624
00:30:28,359 --> 00:30:29,417
So we'll see.
625
00:30:30,295 --> 00:30:32,422
Young lungs. So yeah, we will.
626
00:30:32,497 --> 00:30:34,488
Dramatic music
627
00:30:40,772 --> 00:30:42,603
You know your history,
628
00:30:43,241 --> 00:30:45,505
so you know what happens to usurpers.
629
00:30:46,511 --> 00:30:48,570
Charles Edward Stuart, for example.
630
00:30:48,713 --> 00:30:50,271
Bonnie Prince Charlie. Yes.
631
00:30:50,548 --> 00:30:52,880
His troops slaughtered him,
exiled from the kingdom.
632
00:30:53,051 --> 00:30:54,712
More like on the run
for the rest of his life.
633
00:30:54,853 --> 00:30:57,413
And that was one of
the more civilized responses.
634
00:31:00,225 --> 00:31:02,022
You have to know
635
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:06,456
that anything I do
to stop you is warranted.
636
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,433
I anticipated that being your reaction.
637
00:31:11,803 --> 00:31:13,395
So do what you must.
638
00:31:13,705 --> 00:31:15,730
And I'll defend as I have to.
639
00:31:31,389 --> 00:31:34,881
General, I didn't expect
to see you back in town so soon.
640
00:31:34,959 --> 00:31:36,119
[Jock] Makes two of us.
641
00:31:36,527 --> 00:31:38,188
Listen, the reason I called you over
642
00:31:38,263 --> 00:31:40,356
is there's a legal matter
of some subtlety
643
00:31:40,431 --> 00:31:41,830
that I may need your help on.
644
00:31:42,166 --> 00:31:44,464
I'll be as delicate
as a scrimshander then.
645
00:31:44,535 --> 00:31:46,366
There's a prosecution in the works.
646
00:31:46,471 --> 00:31:47,563
If you can call it that.
647
00:31:47,705 --> 00:31:49,434
More like a political hatchet job.
648
00:31:49,741 --> 00:31:50,605
Against you?
649
00:31:50,675 --> 00:31:52,404
Nah, against my brother.
650
00:31:52,477 --> 00:31:54,001
Designed to splatter on me.
651
00:31:54,145 --> 00:31:56,579
Down in Texas? Well, who's prosecuting?
652
00:31:56,648 --> 00:31:58,582
Perhaps I know him
and could give a nudge,
653
00:31:58,650 --> 00:31:59,981
help steer him away.
654
00:32:00,184 --> 00:32:02,482
New York. State of.
655
00:32:02,553 --> 00:32:04,578
[Taps paper] Alvin Epstein.
656
00:32:04,689 --> 00:32:05,781
Oh.
657
00:32:07,425 --> 00:32:09,950
Rep on him is he is
a straight fucking shooter.
658
00:32:10,395 --> 00:32:12,124
Epstein presents a real problem.
659
00:32:12,697 --> 00:32:14,130
I know him enough to nod at him,
660
00:32:14,232 --> 00:32:15,790
but I'm afraid I've heard the same thing
as you about him.
661
00:32:15,934 --> 00:32:17,162
He's a crusader type.
662
00:32:18,136 --> 00:32:20,696
Probably not enough dirt
to dig on him either.
663
00:32:20,772 --> 00:32:22,137
Forget about him.
664
00:32:22,540 --> 00:32:24,337
I know who this whole thing hinges on.
665
00:32:25,843 --> 00:32:29,677
Seedy financier type I knew
in the old days, Ashley Cutler.
666
00:32:30,381 --> 00:32:33,441
He's had his nose bent about me
and my brother for years.
667
00:32:36,087 --> 00:32:40,023
I bedded his sister
back in the day, truth be told.
668
00:32:40,091 --> 00:32:41,524
So did my brother.
669
00:32:41,592 --> 00:32:43,321
She was something of the town scooter.
670
00:32:43,594 --> 00:32:44,686
But that aside,
671
00:32:44,762 --> 00:32:47,287
if I could somehow
get 10 minutes with him,
672
00:32:47,365 --> 00:32:49,890
I'm sure I could remind him
what really matters
673
00:32:49,968 --> 00:32:51,799
to him and his family.
674
00:32:53,104 --> 00:32:55,231
General, I think you should fall back
675
00:32:55,306 --> 00:32:57,433
and just let this play out in court.
676
00:32:59,410 --> 00:33:01,571
Let justice take its course.
Safer that way.
677
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:03,570
Yeah, I could.
678
00:33:03,648 --> 00:33:06,879
But no, I'm gonna give justice
679
00:33:06,951 --> 00:33:09,044
just a little bit of fucking help.
680
00:33:13,891 --> 00:33:15,825
Well, a course of action comes to mind
681
00:33:15,893 --> 00:33:17,758
that could get you what you want,
682
00:33:17,829 --> 00:33:19,660
but it's a dangerous one for me.
683
00:33:19,731 --> 00:33:23,189
So if I were to engage on your behalf,
684
00:33:23,634 --> 00:33:25,226
I'd expect something in return.
685
00:33:27,605 --> 00:33:28,799
Would you now?
686
00:33:31,009 --> 00:33:33,671
Well, I can't say
I'm a hundred percent surprised.
687
00:33:35,613 --> 00:33:36,978
A man looking out for his own interest
688
00:33:37,048 --> 00:33:38,538
is a man who can be counted on.
689
00:33:39,784 --> 00:33:40,808
What do you want?
690
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,884
To be guaranteed my post
until the end of the administration.
691
00:33:46,324 --> 00:33:49,623
Chuck, you pull this off,
how could I live without you?
692
00:33:50,528 --> 00:33:51,620
Granted.
693
00:33:51,696 --> 00:33:55,393
And Southern becomes
the sovereign district once again.
694
00:33:56,834 --> 00:33:59,769
I call my own plays from now on.
695
00:34:02,373 --> 00:34:06,776
Well, I didn't realize my input
was so rankling to you...
696
00:34:10,214 --> 00:34:12,614
Fine, I give you your latitude.
697
00:34:13,451 --> 00:34:15,316
Then I will do all I can.
698
00:34:16,921 --> 00:34:18,445
You'll hear from me soon.
699
00:34:28,399 --> 00:34:32,199
There are men, with
the kinds of resources I have,
700
00:34:33,604 --> 00:34:37,370
who would deal with this betrayal swiftly
and without mercy.
701
00:34:37,875 --> 00:34:39,069
And are you one of them?
702
00:34:39,277 --> 00:34:40,437
Am I?
703
00:34:41,446 --> 00:34:42,504
Without mercy?
704
00:34:44,148 --> 00:34:46,207
Without regard for Taylor the person?
705
00:34:47,785 --> 00:34:48,945
Not sure.
706
00:34:50,421 --> 00:34:52,582
I'm that angry. That I'm sure of.
707
00:34:54,058 --> 00:34:55,685
What if you didn't go anywhere?
708
00:34:58,229 --> 00:34:59,218
Did nothing.
709
00:35:00,498 --> 00:35:02,625
Most people in the business will
think you sent Taylor off,
710
00:35:02,700 --> 00:35:04,224
invested with them.
711
00:35:06,170 --> 00:35:07,228
Maybe you still can?
712
00:35:08,272 --> 00:35:10,706
He who makes the money wins.
713
00:35:13,411 --> 00:35:15,311
Or take comfort in the knowledge
714
00:35:15,379 --> 00:35:17,677
that the betrayer will
suffer for their actions.
715
00:35:17,815 --> 00:35:19,180
Suffer how? Internally?
716
00:35:19,317 --> 00:35:20,341
Yeah.
717
00:35:20,985 --> 00:35:23,715
And when the reversals
show up, which they will,
718
00:35:25,223 --> 00:35:27,748
and Taylor has to go it alone,
with no one to turn to,
719
00:35:27,825 --> 00:35:30,191
they will have down years.
And they will spiral.
720
00:35:30,628 --> 00:35:33,062
It's unavoidable.
All you have to do is wait for it.
721
00:35:34,599 --> 00:35:36,157
I don't know that I can.
722
00:35:46,711 --> 00:35:50,374
Well, General, it is indeed
Cutler at the heart of this.
723
00:35:51,115 --> 00:35:53,276
I've subpoenaed him on a federal matter.
724
00:35:53,885 --> 00:35:57,446
New York State is gonna scream,
but I'll deal with that.
725
00:35:58,656 --> 00:36:00,749
I have him installed
in a hotel under guard.
726
00:36:00,858 --> 00:36:03,827
I know that an assuredly
private conversation
727
00:36:03,895 --> 00:36:06,056
is of the essence for you.
728
00:36:06,130 --> 00:36:10,032
So I've landed on the spa...
729
00:36:10,101 --> 00:36:11,090
He'll be in a room
730
00:36:11,202 --> 00:36:12,635
that's safe for that conversation.
731
00:36:12,703 --> 00:36:15,934
You'll be able to know,
to see, that he's not wired.
732
00:36:16,741 --> 00:36:20,108
I have trusted FBI watching him.
733
00:36:24,949 --> 00:36:26,348
And at the appropriate time,
734
00:36:26,417 --> 00:36:28,408
I'll have them pulled off the detail...
735
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:30,218
Yeah?
736
00:36:32,123 --> 00:36:33,055
We're out.
737
00:36:37,728 --> 00:36:39,286
[Exhales in relief]
738
00:36:41,866 --> 00:36:43,925
[Chuck] You will then
have your time with him.
739
00:36:51,342 --> 00:36:54,004
I am moved by your loyalty, grace,
740
00:36:54,078 --> 00:36:55,636
and tactical efficiency.
741
00:36:57,515 --> 00:36:58,880
Gracias, amigo.
742
00:36:58,950 --> 00:37:00,941
Dramatic music
743
00:37:10,027 --> 00:37:11,961
[cell phone buzzes]
744
00:37:14,365 --> 00:37:15,263
Alvin?
745
00:37:15,533 --> 00:37:18,263
We got him. It worked.
I can play you the tape.
746
00:37:18,336 --> 00:37:19,701
Oh, yes!
747
00:37:20,871 --> 00:37:23,135
I-I'll come right over to your office.
748
00:37:23,207 --> 00:37:25,038
I can't be sure my office isn't bugged.
749
00:37:25,109 --> 00:37:26,269
Meet me at yours.
750
00:37:26,644 --> 00:37:27,770
Very good.
751
00:37:51,669 --> 00:37:53,193
[Gasps] Jesus Christ.
752
00:37:53,504 --> 00:37:54,562
No. Just me.
753
00:37:55,339 --> 00:37:56,670
[Scoffs]
754
00:37:58,476 --> 00:37:59,500
What do you want?
755
00:38:00,444 --> 00:38:01,274
You.
756
00:38:03,014 --> 00:38:06,347
[Chuckling] You think
I'll actually come with you?
757
00:38:09,387 --> 00:38:11,218
Haven't you done enough damage?
758
00:38:11,656 --> 00:38:13,647
I'm building, not destroying.
759
00:38:13,724 --> 00:38:15,214
That's where you come in.
760
00:38:15,526 --> 00:38:17,153
I'm assembling a place
that's tech-centric,
761
00:38:17,228 --> 00:38:18,855
but I want my people as frequently tuned
762
00:38:18,929 --> 00:38:20,419
and upgraded as the software.
763
00:38:20,498 --> 00:38:22,830
And I don't want them merely
calibrated to make money.
764
00:38:22,933 --> 00:38:26,232
I want you to make sure their whole selves
are being attended to.
765
00:38:26,871 --> 00:38:28,702
It's a place free of any arrests,
766
00:38:28,806 --> 00:38:31,001
or indictments, or insinuations.
767
00:38:31,175 --> 00:38:33,336
It's a place where we can be our best.
768
00:38:34,045 --> 00:38:35,069
Nice ideas.
769
00:38:36,580 --> 00:38:39,811
But you are no moral fucking compass.
770
00:38:40,651 --> 00:38:41,811
For a moment, I thought you might be
771
00:38:41,886 --> 00:38:43,444
because you needed me to think that.
772
00:38:43,521 --> 00:38:46,456
But you used me.
773
00:38:47,391 --> 00:38:49,586
If anyone has been using
people for their own ends...
774
00:38:49,660 --> 00:38:52,561
Oh, don't even try that shit.
775
00:38:53,798 --> 00:38:56,995
You preyed on me and my empathy for you.
776
00:38:57,068 --> 00:38:59,036
Programmed me to get you
what you wanted from Axe...
777
00:38:59,103 --> 00:39:00,035
being part of the raise.
778
00:39:00,104 --> 00:39:01,731
So... fuck you.
779
00:39:02,606 --> 00:39:04,198
You don't seem to understand...
780
00:39:04,275 --> 00:39:06,937
I'm not just offering you
a job for my sake.
781
00:39:07,078 --> 00:39:09,876
I'm offering you
a fresh start, for yours.
782
00:39:09,947 --> 00:39:12,347
A re-set from your slew of fuck-ups.
783
00:39:13,184 --> 00:39:14,947
You let things devolve at Axe Capital.
784
00:39:15,152 --> 00:39:17,211
You didn't see me
being pushed out the door.
785
00:39:17,621 --> 00:39:19,987
You couldn't stop Axe from succumbing
to his own worst nature.
786
00:39:20,057 --> 00:39:21,752
Instead, you succumbed to it.
787
00:39:21,892 --> 00:39:23,484
And who knows what other
fallout you've created
788
00:39:23,627 --> 00:39:25,891
or at least allowed
elsewhere in your life.
789
00:39:28,833 --> 00:39:30,357
You're a brilliant person.
790
00:39:31,602 --> 00:39:33,126
You have a lot of answers.
791
00:39:34,338 --> 00:39:35,669
But you are very young
792
00:39:36,574 --> 00:39:38,371
and there's a lot more to this business
793
00:39:38,442 --> 00:39:40,205
- than you've learned so far.
- Like?
794
00:39:40,277 --> 00:39:42,541
It is not just about numbers
and decimal points.
795
00:39:42,613 --> 00:39:46,049
The thing that makes it matter
is lasting relationships.
796
00:39:46,117 --> 00:39:47,516
True loyalty.
797
00:39:48,319 --> 00:39:49,843
Real trust.
798
00:39:53,157 --> 00:39:55,352
No, I'm pretty sure there's only money,
799
00:39:55,426 --> 00:39:58,361
and it can buy all those things
or at least the same result.
800
00:39:58,596 --> 00:40:00,257
That's what you and Axe taught me.
801
00:40:06,604 --> 00:40:10,802
[Axe] That thing you said.
About keeping it in-house.
802
00:40:10,941 --> 00:40:12,340
Maybe pride.
803
00:40:13,210 --> 00:40:14,336
I have the...
804
00:40:15,513 --> 00:40:17,276
craft, you know?
805
00:40:18,516 --> 00:40:22,612
Look, doing it at a remove,
that makes much more sense.
806
00:40:22,686 --> 00:40:24,813
Oh, so you've been
thinking about it, too.
807
00:40:25,556 --> 00:40:28,320
The thing you said about saying
no to someone like Grigor,
808
00:40:29,894 --> 00:40:31,953
that's where I've spent
most of my thinking time.
809
00:40:32,196 --> 00:40:34,630
How it ramificates out
if I don't give the green light.
810
00:40:34,698 --> 00:40:35,722
Yes.
811
00:40:39,403 --> 00:40:40,461
Mission eval.
812
00:40:40,538 --> 00:40:42,438
Just as you would've
for a superior officer
813
00:40:42,506 --> 00:40:43,473
back in the day.
814
00:40:44,842 --> 00:40:46,469
If Grigor did this,
815
00:40:47,845 --> 00:40:49,403
it would be handled cleanly.
816
00:40:50,614 --> 00:40:51,911
There would be an accident,
817
00:40:53,150 --> 00:40:54,913
falling debris on the street.
818
00:40:54,985 --> 00:40:56,475
An overdose. A car crash.
819
00:40:56,787 --> 00:40:59,847
A heart attack from a blockage
no one saw coming.
820
00:41:00,324 --> 00:41:02,588
They are employing
a refinement of work flow
821
00:41:02,660 --> 00:41:05,493
in this area that is simply unmatched.
822
00:41:06,597 --> 00:41:08,087
It would never come back
to you as a matter
823
00:41:08,165 --> 00:41:09,723
law enforcement would bring.
824
00:41:10,167 --> 00:41:11,225
But then...
825
00:41:11,502 --> 00:41:12,332
Yes.
826
00:41:13,537 --> 00:41:16,335
Then Grigor would have
the thing on you forever.
827
00:41:17,608 --> 00:41:21,601
Suddenly he decides you'll
manage his money for no fee.
828
00:41:21,879 --> 00:41:25,076
Then maybe he'll suggest that
you pay him, for his silence.
829
00:41:26,684 --> 00:41:29,050
And once you let him get
the offer out of his mouth,
830
00:41:29,854 --> 00:41:30,980
once he let you hear it...
831
00:41:31,088 --> 00:41:32,817
Then I have something on him now.
832
00:41:33,157 --> 00:41:34,454
Almost as bad.
833
00:41:34,525 --> 00:41:36,891
How you say yes or no
will determine a lot.
834
00:41:37,628 --> 00:41:39,152
And I have a question for you, too.
835
00:41:40,030 --> 00:41:41,361
What is your objective?
836
00:41:41,799 --> 00:41:43,198
With regards to Taylor?
837
00:41:43,968 --> 00:41:45,128
Total destruction.
838
00:41:45,636 --> 00:41:46,796
Not out of anger.
839
00:41:47,471 --> 00:41:49,962
But if it becomes clear that
I can be taken advantage of,
840
00:41:50,875 --> 00:41:53,867
that I can groom you,
bring you along, prop you up,
841
00:41:53,944 --> 00:41:56,742
then lose you and a serious
chunk of business, too...
842
00:41:56,814 --> 00:41:59,715
I agree. That's not a tenable situation.
843
00:41:59,783 --> 00:42:02,877
And it's not tenable
to have Grigor in my city,
844
00:42:03,020 --> 00:42:05,545
knowing that I'm either indebted to him
845
00:42:05,656 --> 00:42:07,283
or that I rejected him.
846
00:42:08,092 --> 00:42:09,616
But you should know.
847
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:11,921
Should you move forward, even through me,
848
00:42:12,263 --> 00:42:13,662
that psychologically...
849
00:42:13,731 --> 00:42:17,360
I do know. Residue. Of course.
850
00:42:17,434 --> 00:42:18,628
More than residue.
851
00:42:19,470 --> 00:42:20,562
Weight.
852
00:42:22,206 --> 00:42:23,400
Whatever you decide...
853
00:42:24,808 --> 00:42:26,070
However. Whenever.
854
00:42:27,478 --> 00:42:28,775
I am ready.
855
00:42:30,180 --> 00:42:31,238
Good luck.
856
00:42:32,950 --> 00:42:34,144
Hey, Hall...
857
00:42:34,618 --> 00:42:37,052
put extra security on Lara and the boys.
858
00:42:37,955 --> 00:42:39,217
The kind they don't see.
859
00:42:44,695 --> 00:42:45,719
[Car door closes]
860
00:42:45,796 --> 00:42:48,924
[Grigor] So, have you come to a decision?
861
00:42:49,733 --> 00:42:51,291
I'm gonna pass on your offer.
862
00:42:53,103 --> 00:42:55,731
I didn't have you as a squeamish man.
863
00:42:55,806 --> 00:42:58,934
A little delicate, maybe, on the outside,
864
00:42:59,009 --> 00:43:01,876
but I thought you were a man like me.
865
00:43:01,979 --> 00:43:05,676
A man with steel
in all the places one needs it.
866
00:43:05,816 --> 00:43:08,512
Maybe we just need it in different spots.
867
00:43:09,119 --> 00:43:12,611
Ah. So you're beyond
this sort of thing, then.
868
00:43:12,823 --> 00:43:14,188
Or you could say this,
869
00:43:15,759 --> 00:43:18,057
I was raised in a place
that didn't require
870
00:43:18,128 --> 00:43:20,187
these extraordinary measures.
871
00:43:20,364 --> 00:43:21,626
You weren't.
872
00:43:21,832 --> 00:43:24,426
If you don't want to tell me to do it,
873
00:43:24,501 --> 00:43:27,561
but want it to happen anyway, that's fine.
874
00:43:27,638 --> 00:43:30,300
No. I don't.
875
00:43:32,643 --> 00:43:33,905
Fine. OK...
876
00:43:35,746 --> 00:43:38,613
Then I will pull all my money,
877
00:43:38,682 --> 00:43:40,912
and I will give it to Taylor.
878
00:43:41,986 --> 00:43:44,181
I promised I would give you a warning...
879
00:43:44,288 --> 00:43:45,550
this is it.
880
00:43:46,256 --> 00:43:48,850
Look, nothing in the way
I operate my business
881
00:43:48,926 --> 00:43:50,120
has changed.
882
00:43:50,194 --> 00:43:51,388
You loved it last week.
883
00:43:51,729 --> 00:43:53,993
How can I keep my money
884
00:43:54,064 --> 00:43:56,760
with a man who won't kill for it?
885
00:43:58,102 --> 00:43:59,694
I don't want Taylor dead.
886
00:44:00,437 --> 00:44:03,668
I want them alive to experience
all that I am gonna do to them.
887
00:44:03,841 --> 00:44:05,069
I'm gonna destroy them
888
00:44:05,142 --> 00:44:08,111
in ways that'll make them wish
they got what you offered.
889
00:44:09,513 --> 00:44:11,174
Sure. Why not? Have fun.
890
00:44:11,382 --> 00:44:12,872
But, remember,
891
00:44:13,651 --> 00:44:16,814
if what you do to them costs me,
892
00:44:16,887 --> 00:44:18,684
we will meet again.
893
00:44:20,591 --> 00:44:22,889
Until then, goodbye, Axe.
894
00:44:34,338 --> 00:44:36,829
I'm expecting Alvin Epstein shortly,
895
00:44:36,907 --> 00:44:37,896
see him right in.
896
00:44:38,942 --> 00:44:40,034
Morning, Kate.
897
00:44:40,110 --> 00:44:41,975
You recognized I was a political animal.
898
00:44:42,913 --> 00:44:44,710
You fed it. Nurtured it.
899
00:44:45,649 --> 00:44:47,139
And I warned you it might bite you.
900
00:44:47,217 --> 00:44:48,343
That's where we are.
901
00:45:05,969 --> 00:45:08,199
Well, glad you could join us, Chuck.
902
00:45:09,673 --> 00:45:10,697
[Sighs]
903
00:45:10,774 --> 00:45:12,332
Regrets, Chuck.
904
00:45:12,710 --> 00:45:16,339
Tiger's breath was just too hot
when it was right in my face.
905
00:45:16,413 --> 00:45:18,677
Dramatic music
906
00:45:18,749 --> 00:45:21,445
I can't be sure my office isn't bugged.
907
00:45:21,552 --> 00:45:23,076
Meet me at yours.
908
00:45:31,061 --> 00:45:32,460
See you in Washington, General.
909
00:45:32,529 --> 00:45:35,225
We'll break bread together
soon, Mr. Deputy.
910
00:45:35,933 --> 00:45:36,957
Yeah.
911
00:45:41,672 --> 00:45:44,971
[Jock] That's a good man,
right there, my new Deputy AG.
912
00:45:45,042 --> 00:45:46,304
If you say he is.
913
00:45:46,510 --> 00:45:47,534
That's right.
914
00:45:48,045 --> 00:45:50,206
"Good" means something when I say it.
915
00:45:51,782 --> 00:45:54,342
These people... They're good, too.
916
00:45:54,518 --> 00:45:55,610
They've proven it.
917
00:45:56,286 --> 00:45:58,516
The young lady was kind enough
to be of assistance.
918
00:46:01,425 --> 00:46:02,790
And especially these young men.
919
00:46:03,293 --> 00:46:05,784
[Connerty] Oliver Dake reminded me
of our true purpose,
920
00:46:05,863 --> 00:46:08,331
Restoring justice
to the Justice Department.
921
00:46:08,632 --> 00:46:10,031
[Dake] We reminded each other.
922
00:46:10,167 --> 00:46:11,998
Now, General, I know things didn't end
923
00:46:12,069 --> 00:46:13,798
particularly well between us...
924
00:46:13,971 --> 00:46:15,370
Certainly from your point of view.
925
00:46:16,206 --> 00:46:19,642
Nonetheless, I gained clarity
as soon as I left New York.
926
00:46:19,710 --> 00:46:22,702
And then, Mr. Connerty came to me and...
927
00:46:23,580 --> 00:46:27,277
we've discovered something
of a putsch against you.
928
00:46:28,118 --> 00:46:30,678
[Jock] The fellas told me
what you had in store for me.
929
00:46:32,022 --> 00:46:34,183
So I decided to let Cutler sit there.
930
00:46:34,591 --> 00:46:37,082
By his lonesome. Naked and afraid.
931
00:46:37,394 --> 00:46:38,520
Of course, by now, he's free,
932
00:46:38,595 --> 00:46:40,085
back upstate, with his loved ones.
933
00:46:40,164 --> 00:46:41,654
Because there is no case.
934
00:46:41,732 --> 00:46:42,824
There never was.
935
00:46:43,500 --> 00:46:45,092
My brother's down in Texas,
936
00:46:45,202 --> 00:46:47,033
unmolested, as he should be,
937
00:46:47,104 --> 00:46:48,662
tending to his flock.
938
00:46:49,006 --> 00:46:50,200
What I know now, señor,
939
00:46:50,274 --> 00:46:53,937
is that character cannot
be taught or learned.
940
00:46:54,044 --> 00:46:55,011
It is innate.
941
00:46:56,079 --> 00:46:59,446
Some people have it.
These boys do. Miss Sacker.
942
00:47:01,852 --> 00:47:03,581
You clearly do not.
943
00:47:03,754 --> 00:47:05,517
- General...
- This is as fine a head covering
944
00:47:05,622 --> 00:47:08,056
as a man could ever hope to possess.
945
00:47:08,759 --> 00:47:10,624
Yet you have it here as what,
946
00:47:11,228 --> 00:47:14,061
some kind of joke at my expense?
947
00:47:14,231 --> 00:47:16,597
You ingratiated yourself to me, Chuck.
948
00:47:16,733 --> 00:47:19,031
You inveigled yourself into my life.
949
00:47:19,436 --> 00:47:23,634
You invited me and my wife
into your house.
950
00:47:24,074 --> 00:47:25,439
Your house!
951
00:47:26,210 --> 00:47:27,734
Only to do me like some combo
952
00:47:27,811 --> 00:47:30,405
of Iscariot and Salvatore Tessio.
953
00:47:31,348 --> 00:47:33,509
Well, I'm gonna do you
the same as they got.
954
00:47:34,718 --> 00:47:36,982
Now, I'm sure you are aware,
955
00:47:37,221 --> 00:47:38,882
but I will say it for posterity.
956
00:47:39,022 --> 00:47:41,252
This is not obstruction of justice.
957
00:47:42,159 --> 00:47:45,617
Because that bullshit case
was brought by Mr. Epstein.
958
00:47:45,696 --> 00:47:46,822
Not by you.
959
00:47:46,897 --> 00:47:49,991
You had nothing. And now you are nothing.
960
00:47:50,734 --> 00:47:53,259
As of this moment, you are a trespasser
961
00:47:53,337 --> 00:47:55,168
in these hallowed halls of the law.
962
00:47:57,007 --> 00:48:00,499
You, Charles Rhoades Junior,
are relieved of duty.
963
00:48:00,911 --> 00:48:03,311
On power of the President, you are fired!
964
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:14,422
Mr. Connerty, as your first detail
965
00:48:14,524 --> 00:48:17,493
as Interim United States Attorney
for the Southern District,
966
00:48:18,095 --> 00:48:20,086
please show this gentleman out.
967
00:48:20,197 --> 00:48:21,494
My pleasure.
968
00:48:24,234 --> 00:48:26,828
What'd you manage to get
for yourself, professor?
969
00:48:27,704 --> 00:48:29,501
I got to watch all this.
970
00:48:31,642 --> 00:48:33,132
[Jock] Yeah, look at him,
971
00:48:33,443 --> 00:48:36,571
going out like the teaser
I always knew you were.
972
00:48:36,847 --> 00:48:37,939
Pathetic.
973
00:48:44,721 --> 00:48:46,018
Enjoy this.
974
00:48:46,356 --> 00:48:48,916
You've outplayed me.
And you have earned it.
975
00:48:49,126 --> 00:48:50,821
But don't, even for a second,
976
00:48:50,894 --> 00:48:53,692
think that that smile on your face
977
00:48:53,764 --> 00:48:57,063
is gonna be there for very fucking long.
978
00:48:57,200 --> 00:48:58,633
Oh, Chuck,
979
00:48:59,169 --> 00:49:00,898
that's not my smile.
980
00:49:02,572 --> 00:49:03,800
This is.
981
00:49:04,341 --> 00:49:05,535
[Cackles]
982
00:49:07,811 --> 00:49:09,073
Move him along.
983
00:49:09,980 --> 00:49:11,447
Come on, Chuck.
984
00:49:13,150 --> 00:49:15,084
Bryan, think about
what you're doing, man.
985
00:49:15,152 --> 00:49:16,847
Drop your credentials at the desk
986
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:21,050
and get the fuck out of here.
987
00:49:23,994 --> 00:49:25,188
[Sniffs]
988
00:49:37,708 --> 00:49:39,198
I've brought you some redemption...

Redemption Roasters Coffee that is.
990
00:49:42,913 --> 00:49:44,642
To wish you good luck
on your new venture,
991
00:49:44,715 --> 00:49:46,410
and because, to make it go,
992
00:49:46,483 --> 00:49:47,916
you'll be working all night long.
993
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:50,186
Thank you, Oscar.
994
00:49:50,253 --> 00:49:51,220
How'd you find me?
995
00:49:52,089 --> 00:49:53,613
Word's traveling fast.
996
00:49:54,858 --> 00:49:56,223
I also brought you this...
997
00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:58,755
My letter of intent to come
on-board with some seed money.
998
00:50:00,230 --> 00:50:02,130
Initial investment of 500 million.
999
00:50:02,866 --> 00:50:04,766
Thank you. Wow.
1000
00:50:07,938 --> 00:50:09,599
Would you like to meet up later?
1001

There's a secret new
dumpling spot in Queens,

doesn't even have a name, just a door.
1003
00:50:13,343 --> 00:50:14,901
I'd like to talk, to try...
1004
00:50:16,246 --> 00:50:18,942
I'm happy to put capital with you,
1005
00:50:19,816 --> 00:50:21,113
because you're smart.
1006
00:50:21,785 --> 00:50:23,309
And I think you'll make me money.
1007
00:50:23,987 --> 00:50:25,181
But after what you did,
1008
00:50:25,255 --> 00:50:27,450
I could never open myself
up to you again.

I saw Taylor.

They tried to bring me aboard.
1025
00:51:39,129 --> 00:51:40,994
Can't imagine that went well for them.
1026
00:51:41,565 --> 00:51:42,998
Or are you about to shock me?
1027
00:51:43,333 --> 00:51:45,324
Fuck them. As I said.

"Mm, you know, I'm no longer
