               143 00:05:20,278 --> 00:05:21,821       Who bought the land, Dad?      144 00:05:21,863 --> 00:05:23,990          [Sacker] Looks like          several buyers. All shell corps.  145 00:05:24,032 --> 00:05:25,908  Terms have been set. They have      30 days to close with the cash.    146 00:05:25,950 --> 00:05:28,411           Anything unusual                    with the approvals?         147 00:05:28,453 --> 00:05:32,165      No. Except there hasn't been        much activity until recently.    148 00:05:33,624 --> 00:05:35,335            You don't need                   this development, Dad.        149 00:05:35,376 --> 00:05:37,628    And even if you did, I wouldn't         lift a finger to help.        150 00:05:37,670 --> 00:05:38,921     Not 'cause I don't love you.     151 00:05:38,963 --> 00:05:40,340      Because it would be wrong.      152 00:05:40,381 --> 00:05:42,008  In the past, you didn't really--  153 00:05:42,050 --> 00:05:43,885  Ah. I can't change any of that.    154 00:05:45,386 --> 00:05:48,806    Well, I was a straight shooter               about my plans.           155 00:05:48,848 --> 00:05:51,434       Being shameless does not        change a Haman into a Mordechai.  156 00:05:51,476 --> 00:05:53,186               Bye, Dad.              157 00:05:57,106 --> 00:05:59,984            I can't believe                that I'm raising this, but,     158 00:06:00,026 --> 00:06:02,820       we forget who brought us          this information and we use it.  159 00:06:02,862 --> 00:06:03,821                 Yeah.                160 00:06:03,863 --> 00:06:05,239    If a big player or corporation    161 00:06:05,281 --> 00:06:06,491    is going through the land bank    162 00:06:06,532 --> 00:06:08,242       to make big purchases                   on the downlow.             163 00:06:08,284 --> 00:06:10,995  Yes. That's absolutely against          the spirit of the thing.        164 00:06:11,037 --> 00:06:12,747           And likely means                  some other high-baller        165 00:06:12,789 --> 00:06:14,290          is looking to make

         170 00:07:00,169 --> 00:07:02,713       I know how we're going to         smoke out this mystery bidder.    171 00:07:02,755 --> 00:07:06,175  Put a piece of land up for sale.     The piece bordering Stuy Town.    172 00:07:06,217 --> 00:07:08,386          I thought you were                trying to buy more land--      173 00:07:08,428 --> 00:07:11,472    He is. Whoever's backing Mafee     and Dollar Bill will bite at it.  174 00:07:11,514 --> 00:07:13,474     Yes. It'll come anonymously,             through a shell corp.        175 00:07:13,516 --> 00:07:14,976          Which we'll reject.         176 00:07:15,017 --> 00:07:16,352             But we'll get                enough details to figure out     177 00:07:16,394 --> 00:07:18,396     who's spearheading the SPAC.     178 00:07:18,438 --> 00:07:20,356           And once it IPOs,              we can bend this thing over,     179 00:07:20,398 --> 00:07:22,733       no lube required, and...       180 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,156     I mean, there are many things       within SEC guidelines we can do  181 00:07:28,197 --> 00:07:30,741            to express our                  negative sentiment on it,      182 00:07:30,783 --> 00:07:32,702          and convince others                to see it the same way,       183 00:07:32,743 --> 00:07:35,705     -once it is trading publicly.                -There ya go.            184 00:07:35,746 --> 00:07:37,415        That's where I thought                   you were going.           185 00:07:37,457 --> 00:07:38,958         But this is Mafee and            Dollar Bill's big investment.    186 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,460         Don't we still love--        187 00:07:40,501 --> 00:07:42,044                I mean,                     have fond feelings for--       188 00:07:42,086 --> 00:07:44,797          well, most of us--                  some of us-- I do...         189 00:07:44,839 --> 00:07:46,090     Spit it out, you stuttering--    190 00:07:46,132 --> 00:07:47,717  Mafee! I still care about Mafee.  191 00:07:47,758 --> 00:07:49,469               [Taylor]                        Yes, as I do, Ben.          192 00:07:49,510 --> 00:07:51,262      But once we find out who's          really going to run the SPAC     193 00:07:51,304 --> 00:07:53,139         for them, Prince will                 block it, and, yes,         194 00:07:53,181 --> 00:07:55,475    whatever they've invested in it           will be worthless.          195 00:07:55,516 --> 00:07:58,478      And he feels bad about it,               that fucking baby.          196 00:07:58,519 --> 00:08:00,062      How can you not even care?      197 00:08:00,104 --> 00:08:02,857        You were in an intimate            relationship with Dollar--      198 00:08:02,899 --> 00:08:07,028        I am in a relationship             with dollars, end sentence.     199 00:08:07,069 --> 00:08:09,363       Look, I love those guys.                     For real.              200 00:08:09,405 --> 00:08:11,240      We've plundered and partied           with 'em back in the day.      201 00:08:11,282 --> 00:08:14,160    But if they fuck with our shit,            they get fucked.           202 00:08:18,414 --> 00:08:20,958             Great to see                  the team spirit is intact.      203 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,793          But I'm a builder,                    not a destroyer.           204 00:08:22,835 --> 00:08:24,212           I'll always find                    a positive solution         205 00:08:24,253 --> 00:08:26,464           before considering                  a destructive path.         206 00:08:26,506 --> 00:08:29,383      I look at every competitor          as a potential new partner...    207 00:08:29,425 --> 00:08:31,052  right up until I can't anymore.    208 00:08:31,093 --> 00:08:33,095

 And I speak from experience,             selecting a host city        230 00:09:21,894 --> 00:09:24,438     is a very political process.     231 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:25,773

00:18:26,688 --> 00:18:29,149     Turn it into   actual   capital.                   Ka-ching.              463 00:18:29,191 --> 00:18:31,985              Don't make

00:19:07,146       like Rio's Olympic Park.       479 00:19:07,187 --> 00:19:08,689              That place                     is a fucking dustbowl.        480 00:19:08,730 --> 00:19:11,233

      551 00:22:07,284 --> 00:22:08,910              So then...              552 00:22:08,952 --> 00:22:11,163           own the fact that           Mafee doesn't work here anymore.  553 00:22:11,204

 I somehow thought                   you were different.         818 00:34:18,181 --> 00:34:19,307           But your approach                     reminds me a lot          819 00:34:19,348 --> 00:34:20,975           of the man whose                     office you took.           820 00:34:21,017 --> 00:34:23,186           It's possible you              bring out a similar reaction     821 00:34:23,227 --> 00:34:24,854  in wildly disparate individuals.  822 00:34:24,896 --> 00:34:26,856          I'll think it over                 when I drink your blood       823 00:34:26,898 --> 00:34:28,483        after decapitating you.       824 00:34:28,524 --> 00:34:30,526        Accepting loss is hard            for those who lack humility.     825 00:34:30,568 --> 00:34:32,695      But here's a reality check.     826 00:34:32,737 --> 00:34:34,655            You have deals                   with the City on land,        827 00:34:34,697 --> 00:34:36,324      but your SPAC is liquidated     828 00:34:36,365 --> 00:34:37,825          and you don't have                  the capital to close.        829 00:34:37,867 --> 00:34:40,912        My investors dumped me                   like Winthorpe            830 00:34:40,953 --> 00:34:42,997       and Billy Ray Valentine              in the orange juice pit.       831 00:34:43,039 --> 00:34:45,249          That's the problem               with other people's money.      832 00:34:45,291 --> 00:34:47,376  They can take it away from you.    833 00:34:47,418 --> 00:34:49,587           So, you'll either                  go into your pocket--        834 00:34:49,629 --> 00:34:51,923         For a billion dollars           of New York fucking real estate  835 00:34:51,964 --> 00:34:54,258        that you got the mayor            to oppose zoning changes on?!    836 00:34:54,300 --> 00:34:55,927            Don't think so.           837 00:34:55,968 --> 00:34:57,386          I like being rich.          838 00:34:57,428 --> 00:34:58,638     Not gonna end up like Trump.     839 00:34:58,679 --> 00:35:00,223             Or you'll...             840 00:35:00,264 --> 00:35:02,850           Partner with you.          841 00:35:02,892 --> 00:35:04,727                 Fine.                842 00:35:04,769 --> 00:35:07,313     Forget drinking your blood,          I'll stand with you instead.     843 00:35:07,355 --> 00:35:09,524     I'll assign the deeds to you,    844 00:35:09,565 --> 00:35:11,400      you and your investors pay.     845 00:35:11,442 --> 00:35:13,194       And I'll be starting QB.       846 00:35:13,236 --> 00:35:15,988        That's fine. It's fine.       847 00:35:16,030 --> 00:35:18,866      Just know we'll be spitting            in Chuck Rhoades's eye.       848 00:35:18,908 --> 00:35:20,743           Hey, don't worry.          849 00:35:20,785 --> 00:35:21,786           I'll handle him.           850 00:35:39,762 --> 00:35:41,973      I can't fucking believe it.                 Here you are.            851 00:35:42,014 --> 00:35:44,267      I thought, "There's no way         Taylor would think our dinner's  852 00:35:44,308 --> 00:35:46,769       still on after their firm         destroyed my goddamn company."    853 00:35:46,811 --> 00:35:47,979           But here you are.          854 00:35:48,020 --> 00:35:49,564           It's unfortunate                   the way the IPO went,        855 00:35:49,605 --> 00:35:50,982     that the SPAC is zeroed out.     856 00:35:51,023 --> 00:35:52,650     I understand you were warned               not to launch it.          857 00:35:52,692 --> 00:35:54,944           One is business,                    the other personal.         858 00:35:54,986 --> 00:35:56,445       -I don't see the linkage.           -You thought you could just     859 00:35:56,487 --> 00:35:58,072          sit across from me,                    enjoying those            860 00:35:58,114 --> 00:36:00,533        bok choy pot stickers,           while my life is falling apart,  861 00:36:00,575 --> 00:36:03,286            because of you                and the company you help run?    862 00:36:03,327 --> 00:36:06,038            I knew you were                     a fucking cyborg.          863 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:07,915          And I thought about                 letting you sit there        864 00:36:07,957 --> 00:36:09,709          and put the pieces                  together on your own.        865 00:36:09,750 --> 00:36:11,711      But I had to see for myself                just how devoid           866 00:36:11,752 --> 00:36:13,880             of all human                    understanding you are.        867 00:36:13,921 --> 00:36:15,673                 I...                 868 00:36:38,362 --> 00:36:39,947         Spain's coming hard.         869 00:36:39,989 --> 00:36:41,824        They somehow convinced               Real Madrid's manager         870 00:36:41,866 --> 00:36:43,492    to give Drache soccer lessons,    871 00:36:43,534 --> 00:36:45,119          all to win him over                 to the Madrid effort.        872 00:36:45,161 --> 00:36:47,163         Meaning they figured               out what matters to him.       873 00:36:47,205 --> 00:36:49,707             Wasn't hard.                 Guy raises millions for ALS.     874 00:36:49,749 --> 00:36:52,460  So we back up the Brinks truck,    875 00:36:52,501 --> 00:36:54,170         help cure a disease,         876 00:36:54,212 --> 00:36:55,671      and the guy becomes a hero.     877 00:36:55,713 --> 00:36:58,382         And Colin never walks                 onto Madrid's pitch.        878 00:37:00,885 --> 00:37:03,638       I'm have a sudden craving                 for   croquetas.            879 00:37:03,679 --> 00:37:04,931

00:38:29,557           I didn't see all                  the possible outcomes.        906 00:38:29,598 --> 00:38:31,100      After Mafee left the firm,      907 00:38:31,142 --> 00:38:33,352

 about unintended consequences.    912 00:38:40,609 --> 00:38:42,611    The win was all that mattered,    913 00:38:42,653 --> 00:38:44,989          and our success only                reinforced that idea.        914 00:38:46,490 --> 00:38:48,326       I say "we were trained,"                   but in truth,            915 00:38:48,367 --> 00:38:50,077     I did most of that training,     916 00:38:50,119 --> 00:38:53,831    which is why I guess my attempt         to undo it was clumsy.        917 00:38:53,873 --> 00:38:56,917

00:39:14,018         are we going to take                    to rectify it?            924 00:39:26,781 --> 00:39:29,116          -Here we are again.                -The game has changed.        925
