1 00:00:00,375 --> 00:00:02,752                [Kate]                       Previously on   Billions...      2 00:00:02,794 --> 00:00:05,338            The very first                     New York Olympics.          3 00:00:05,380 --> 00:00:07,465       The city's down, hurting.      4 00:00:07,507 --> 00:00:09,926       It's the perfect                opportunity to rebuild.            5 00:00:09,968 --> 00:00:14,139         Selecting a host city            is a very political process.     6 00:00:14,180 --> 00:00:16,182     I want to make an impression,           but as I understand it,       7 00:00:16,224 --> 00:00:17,809  the men and women                   of the commission                  8 00:00:17,851 --> 00:00:20,353        don't look kindly upon              strangers bearing gifts.       9 00:00:20,395 --> 00:00:24,024        The office is not where        my new war is going to be waged.  10 00:00:24,065 --> 00:00:25,984  Not at first.                      11 00:00:26,026 --> 00:00:28,236        The venue matters less                  than the message.          12 00:00:28,278 --> 00:00:31,031            No, I realized                  it's not one billionaire       13 00:00:31,072 --> 00:00:32,699  having his way                      with the City.                     14 00:00:32,741 --> 00:00:34,659        The overall effect             of the billionaire class...        15 00:00:35,744 --> 00:00:37,328  they're a scourge.                 16 00:00:37,370 --> 00:00:38,872         Prince has different                      priorities.             17 00:00:38,913 --> 00:00:40,373         He seems to be after                more than profits here.       18 00:00:40,415 --> 00:00:42,375       -So, what are you saying?               -I don't know yet,          19 00:00:42,417 --> 00:00:44,044  but I know he's not Axe.           20 00:00:44,085 --> 00:00:46,046         I am hereby creating                   the Prince List.           21 00:00:46,087 --> 00:00:49,215    Shedding all the dirty capital             currently invested.         22 00:00:49,257 --> 00:00:52,635    From now on, clients will have       to qualify to invest with us.     23 00:00:52,677 --> 00:00:55,221          Sometimes you just                have to break some shit.       24 00:00:55,263 --> 00:00:57,348            Make them know                    that no one is safe.         25 00:00:57,390 --> 00:00:59,059                You promised me                 a winning season, Chuck.  26 00:00:59,100 --> 00:01:00,518        I'm running out of time               if I'll have to quit.        27 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,395       I can't lose my MVP yet.       28 00:01:02,437 --> 00:01:03,730  I need you, Kate.                  29 00:01:03,772 --> 00:01:05,356              Okay, boss.             30 00:01:05,398 --> 00:01:07,067        [Chuck] What do we do                when the carpetbaggers        31 00:01:07,108 --> 00:01:10,737          and the land barons            try to shove us out of the way?  32 00:01:10,779 --> 00:01:12,572            We shove back!            33 00:01:12,614 --> 00:01:14,699                 [all]                         Take back our city!         34 00:01:14,741 --> 00:01:16,785          Take back our city!         35 00:01:46,022 --> 00:01:48,399           I was approached.          36 00:01:48,441 --> 00:01:50,110              For a job?              37 00:01:50,151 --> 00:01:52,737         Nobody said anything                     about a job.             38 00:01:52,779 --> 00:01:54,364              It's a job.             39 00:01:58,827 --> 00:02:01,079     You did good by coming to me.    40 00:02:01,121 --> 00:02:02,872            So, obviously,                       I'm not going--           41 00:02:02,914 --> 00:02:04,207         Oh, no, you're going.        42 00:02:05,291 --> 00:02:06,668       But you're going for me.       43 00:02:08,795 --> 00:02:10,964  You'll be my Vincent Terranova.    44 00:02:15,510 --> 00:02:19,389      It's natural to celebrate,                   to go big.              45 00:02:19,430 --> 00:02:21,808       Especially with the tools                 you have here.            46 00:02:21,850 --> 00:02:24,561        The fun and the talent                    in this room.            47 00:02:24,602 --> 00:02:26,312         You think it's gonna                 go on and on and on.         48 00:02:26,354 --> 00:02:28,106         It's never gonna end.        49 00:02:28,148 --> 00:02:29,732     But we know that's not true.     50 00:02:29,774 --> 00:02:32,277         You all in this room                    are not immune            51 00:02:32,318 --> 00:02:35,196            to the mistakes                    other people make,          52 00:02:35,238 --> 00:02:38,658           where they spend                   more than they make.         53 00:02:38,700 --> 00:02:42,370        The burn rate gets them                    every time.             54 00:02:42,412 --> 00:02:45,540          I've had 52 players                  drafted in the NBA.         55 00:02:45,582 --> 00:02:47,834     Thirty-five are in the league                 right now.              56 00:02:47,876 --> 00:02:50,503         My suggestion to them                     and to you:             57 00:02:50,545 --> 00:02:53,339      Put the first million away!     58 00:02:53,381 --> 00:02:55,550          Forget you have it.         59 00:02:55,592 --> 00:02:57,343             You put yours                     back in this fund,          60 00:02:57,385 --> 00:02:59,429  you know five, six, seven years,  61 00:02:59,470 --> 00:03:01,514      you're a multimillionaire.      62 00:03:01,556 --> 00:03:04,350         With that behind you,        63 00:03:04,392 --> 00:03:05,852               no fear.               64 00:03:05,894 --> 00:03:07,645         No anxiety seeps in.         65 00:03:07,687 --> 00:03:11,649         You have a clear mind               to think good thoughts.       66 00:03:11,691 --> 00:03:14,194           All of a sudden,                   you get in the zone,         67 00:03:14,235 --> 00:03:16,613  and you're doing stuff you don't       even believe you could do,      68 00:03:16,654 --> 00:03:19,157      and you win championships.      69 00:03:19,199 --> 00:03:21,367        National championships.       70 00:03:21,409 --> 00:03:23,286           And when you win                a national championship...      71 00:03:23,328 --> 00:03:24,996           I've never played                       basketball,             72 00:03:25,038 --> 00:03:27,373        but I'd follow this man            through the gates of hell.      73 00:03:27,415 --> 00:03:31,169       [Coach Cal] ...don't let           the burn rate drag you down,     74 00:03:31,211 --> 00:03:33,630    because at the end of the day,    75 00:03:33,671 --> 00:03:37,592  it's about winning championships        for all of us, isn't it?       76 00:03:37,634 --> 00:03:39,677              [applause]              77 00:03:39,719 --> 00:03:41,721      Coach gave us a great deal              on the speaking fee.         78 00:03:41,763 --> 00:03:44,057            He really did.                      Worth every cent.          79 00:03:44,098 --> 00:03:45,683      And I hear he's donating it                  to charity,             80 00:03:45,725 --> 00:03:47,143           so a win for all.          81 00:04:14,128 --> 00:04:15,546               [Prince]                   State-of-the-art facilities,     82 00:04:15,588 --> 00:04:18,341            accommodations,                      transportation.           83 00:04:18,383 --> 00:04:21,886      Designed to accommodate any        and all environmental concerns.  84 00:04:21,928 --> 00:04:24,597         Everything pristine.         85 00:04:26,975 --> 00:04:28,184                Uh-huh.               86 00:04:28,226 --> 00:04:29,936              Yeah, well,                       I tell you, Mike,          87 00:04:29,978 --> 00:04:31,521           the whole thing'd                be a lot more believable       88 00:04:31,562 --> 00:04:33,439           if there was, uh,                     dirt somewhere.           89 00:04:33,481 --> 00:04:34,899               -[laughs]                        -I mean, just...           90 00:04:34,941 --> 00:04:36,359                 New York City's                  never been this clean.  91 00:04:36,401 --> 00:04:37,986             It was never                      my mandate before.          92 00:04:44,826 --> 00:04:46,828             I told them,                       make it dazzling.          93 00:04:46,869 --> 00:04:49,122     Dazzle the man, don't leave          anything to the imagination.     94 00:04:49,163 --> 00:04:50,456     And that's what I'm gonna do     95 00:04:50,498 --> 00:04:52,166            when the Games                     are actually here.          96 00:04:52,208 --> 00:04:54,168      You know, they used to have          a sundae at Haagen-Dazs         97 00:04:54,210 --> 00:04:56,004                called the Dazzler.  98 00:04:56,045 --> 00:04:58,631  I think they still do. You know,   it's dulce de leche ice cream      99 00:04:58,673 --> 00:05:00,383              with, like,                      ribbons of caramel,         100 00:05:00,425 --> 00:05:02,427               and then more dulce,                    more caramel.      101 00:05:02,468 --> 00:05:04,304     Then you'd put whipped cream        on it, and then they would just  102 00:05:04,345 --> 00:05:05,930       cover the whole thing in,            like, hot caramel sauce.       103 00:05:05,972 --> 00:05:07,890          It earns its name:                      the Dazzler.             104 00:05:07,932 --> 00:05:10,393            I would guzzle                      that sucker down.          105 00:05:10,435 --> 00:05:11,686                   But, you know...  106 00:05:12,729 --> 00:05:14,439                       before long,  107 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,734      I'd start to feel milk-sick                 and bloated.             108 00:05:17,775 --> 00:05:19,986       And, you see, I'm afraid           it's going to be the same way    109 00:05:20,028 --> 00:05:21,821             with the Olympic Games                 here in our city.     110 00:05:21,863 --> 00:05:23,781                Could be delicious,  111 00:05:23,823 --> 00:05:25,992     but more likely to make me ill       when the voters paddle my ass  112 00:05:26,034 --> 00:05:27,243       'cause they don't like them,        so...                          113 00:05:27,285 --> 00:05:28,786  Everyone loves--                   114 00:05:28,828 --> 00:05:30,246         Chuck Rhoades changed                  the conversation           115 00:05:30,288 --> 00:05:31,831        before it even started,                    all right?              116 00:05:31,873 --> 00:05:33,333      Now, we wouldn't be selling                  the Games,              117 00:05:33,374 --> 00:05:35,001        we'd be defending them                   from the jump.            118 00:05:35,043 --> 00:05:37,003        And the city council,                legislator, activists,        119 00:05:37,045 --> 00:05:39,088       they're all going to crap               on this Olympic bid         120 00:05:39,130 --> 00:05:40,798      and they're going to tag it               with regulations,          121 00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:42,258           and that's after

00:05:50,808       is going to be your chief                  legal counsel            126 00:05:50,850 --> 00:05:52,393          in billable hours.          127 00:05:52,435 --> 00:05:54,979        You and I, we can solve              these issues together.        128 00:05:55,021 --> 00:05:56,397          The Games are never                   coming to the city         129 00:05:56,439 --> 00:05:57,774  without the governor's support.    130 00:05:57,815 --> 00:05:59,567           I hope that I can                      count on it.             131 00:05:59,609 --> 00:06:03,571         Mike, public opinion                is 2% positive on this.       132 00:06:03,613 --> 00:06:06,366            I believe cancer                    is polling at 3%.          133 00:06:06,407 --> 00:06:08,368       Chuck's stunt only worked              'cause it lit a fire         134 00:06:08,409 --> 00:06:09,994            under something                  that's already lighted.       135 00:06:10,036 --> 00:06:12,288           I am not getting            in the bucket bailing relay line  136 00:06:12,330 --> 00:06:13,873       next to you on this one,                    all right?              137 00:06:13,915 --> 00:06:16,250    Buzz me when you got something                that'll work.            138 00:06:23,257 --> 00:06:26,177      God, is the stink of losing              actually sticking?          139 00:06:26,219 --> 00:06:28,721             I don't want                     that gamy shit on me.        140 00:06:41,359 --> 00:06:45,363  If he's right and we're stuck       in a municipal swamp, we need--    141 00:06:45,405 --> 00:06:46,697  Some serious legal firepower.      142 00:06:46,739 --> 00:06:47,990               [Prince]                               Yes.                 143 00:06:55,540 --> 00:06:57,834           White-shoe firm.                   Maybe more than one.         144 00:07:05,842 --> 00:07:07,176            A fixer at bar.                     A street fighter.          145 00:07:07,218 --> 00:07:08,678      A master of the dark arts.      146 00:07:08,719 --> 00:07:10,430         Bill Barr's a little               controversial right now.       147 00:07:10,471 --> 00:07:12,098          Someone to navigate                    the land mines,           148 00:07:12,140 --> 00:07:14,308         specifically the ones              planted by Chuck Rhoades.      149 00:07:14,350 --> 00:07:16,519            We have to hire                from inside the government,     150 00:07:16,561 --> 00:07:18,688  to backslap and crony our way            past the city council.         151 00:07:18,729 --> 00:07:20,398      You're saying hire the guy            who set the speed traps,       152 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,108        and you'll always know                 when to slow down.          153 00:07:22,150 --> 00:07:23,526      Absolument.                      154 00:07:23,568 --> 00:07:25,486  Hell, we hired Spyros               straight from the SEC,             155 00:07:25,528 --> 00:07:27,321  and as lame as he is,              156 00:07:27,363 --> 00:07:29,490        we haven't gotten calls          from enforcement for two years.  157 00:07:29,532 --> 00:07:30,950             Someone like                     Manhattan D.A. Gramm.        158 00:07:30,992 --> 00:07:32,535            Seems likable,                    but full-on pit bull.        159 00:07:32,577 --> 00:07:35,037          She'd be perfect,                    but she's a lifer.          160 00:07:35,079 --> 00:07:37,290      M-Tap, I think he's right.      161 00:07:37,331 --> 00:07:39,709            Oh, I'm right,            162 00:07:39,750 --> 00:07:41,586              'cause this                    is the down and dirty,        163 00:07:41,627 --> 00:07:43,463       and I happen to be both.       164 00:07:43,504 --> 00:07:45,131       Yep, and if you can add              Neil Young to your band,       165 00:07:45,173 --> 00:07:46,549              you do it,                    even if you were already       166 00:07:46,591 --> 00:07:48,301  getting by with Crosby and Nash.  167 00:07:48,342 --> 00:07:49,969                       Good. Do it.  168 00:07:50,011 --> 00:07:52,430        Now, on another front:             Colin has the advance team      169 00:07:52,472 --> 00:07:54,140             from the International                Commission of Sport    170 00:07:54,182 --> 00:07:55,433                    in from Europe.  171 00:07:55,475 --> 00:07:57,018      They need to leave so happy--  172 00:07:57,059 --> 00:07:59,020    Ah, that's why you came to me.    173 00:07:59,061 --> 00:08:00,521        The down and the dirty,                 as you said, yes.          174 00:08:00,563 --> 00:08:02,315         So that they go home                   to their masters           175 00:08:02,356 --> 00:08:04,650  and tell them we're the ones        that should top the short list.    176 00:08:04,692 --> 00:08:06,235        And that the gift bags                  you'll hand them           177 00:08:06,277 --> 00:08:08,154      will be pendulous and heavy                as Bo Derek's--           178 00:08:08,196 --> 00:08:09,489         You can't just bribe them.  179 00:08:09,530 --> 00:08:11,032          Everyone's willing                   to bribe them.              180 00:08:11,073 --> 00:08:12,658        Don't use the "B" word              in front of me. Come on.       181 00:08:12,700 --> 00:08:14,660       Yes, but the point is,          if we were the bribing type--      182 00:08:14,702 --> 00:08:16,120          which we are not--          183 00:08:16,162 --> 00:08:18,331         they need to be made                   to feel special.           184 00:08:18,372 --> 00:08:22,502        Pretty certain we have            different ideas on "special."    185 00:08:22,543 --> 00:08:26,130  Well, since you two are already     happy bunkmates, do it together.  186 00:08:27,632 --> 00:08:28,883             [door opens]             187 00:08:49,153 --> 00:08:50,696  [chuckles]                         188 00:08:56,536 --> 00:09:00,373      No way. No way you get           all that crap in that pack.        189 00:09:00,414 --> 00:09:03,084            Now, if you had                    a spatial algorithm         190 00:09:03,125 --> 00:09:06,170       and someone who knew how        to use it along with you, maybe.  191 00:09:06,212 --> 00:09:08,256         Oh, I guess that'd be you.  192 00:09:08,297 --> 00:09:10,925       Do you want to come along         with your spatial-packing algo?  193 00:09:10,967 --> 00:09:12,802        As your worthy Sherpa.        194 00:09:12,843 --> 00:09:14,512         I'll start optimizing                the algo to our route        195 00:09:14,554 --> 00:09:16,055             for strategic                     climate-to-weight--         196 00:09:16,097 --> 00:09:18,599            Oh, bud, buddy.                     Yeah, no. Big no.          197 00:09:18,641 --> 00:09:21,352         So, you don't want--         198 00:09:21,394 --> 00:09:23,521        Company? Help? Unh-unh.       199 00:09:23,563 --> 00:09:25,273       [sighs] I'll stuff it in               with a toilet plunger        200 00:09:25,314 --> 00:09:27,942       and throw away half of it                  if I have to.            201 00:09:33,281 --> 00:09:36,701         But I won't have to,              because Rolf shows us how.      202 00:09:45,543 --> 00:09:48,337       Feeling that Jack London,          Elizabeth Gilbert call, huh?     203 00:09:48,379 --> 00:09:51,215  I don't aim to leave for another     eight to ten months, at least.    204 00:09:51,257 --> 00:09:52,675                 Just pre-planning.  205 00:09:52,717 --> 00:09:54,719     -Once you've saved up enough.                   -Right.               206 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,888    No shame in the frugality game.      I'll peace once I have 600k.     207 00:09:57,930 --> 00:10:00,099        But for now, it's more             about grooving the feeling.     208 00:10:00,141 --> 00:10:01,601                       Visualizing.  209 00:10:01,642 --> 00:10:04,020  Active anticipation                 has psycho-physical benefits,      210 00:10:04,061 --> 00:10:05,563          and you can afford                      the time off.            211 00:10:05,605 --> 00:10:07,773         But why do this here                   and not at home?           212 00:10:07,815 --> 00:10:09,900         I had enough at-home time,                    thanks.            213 00:10:09,942 --> 00:10:12,278          And the fantasy is,                you go right from work,       214 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,031    like one day you just stand up           and grab your rucksack        215 00:10:15,072 --> 00:10:17,575      and take off from your desk           into the sun-drenched deck     216 00:10:17,617 --> 00:10:19,910        of some Turkish hostel                   in the summer.            217 00:10:19,952 --> 00:10:21,621        If reality were as good                  as the fantasy,           218 00:10:21,662 --> 00:10:23,414          we wouldn't have had                to invent "The Sims."        219 00:10:23,456 --> 00:10:25,958         If we start talking Sims,          I'll never get back to work.  220 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,668  Yeah. I lost all of 8th grade      221 00:10:27,710 --> 00:10:31,255  in service of one particularly      needy pet Sim dog, an Akita.       222 00:10:31,297 --> 00:10:33,966               Thing is,                       fantasy or reality,         223 00:10:34,008 --> 00:10:35,926        you aren't calculating                 opportunities lost.         224 00:10:35,968 --> 00:10:38,638         Here. To your career.                 To your development.        225 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,308           Come on, you never think               about getting free?     226 00:10:42,350 --> 00:10:43,684           No hidden agenda.          227 00:10:43,726 --> 00:10:44,977         I too have considered                   and calculated            228 00:10:45,019 --> 00:10:46,312            an out number.            229 00:10:46,354 --> 00:10:48,147     Assuming it's a little steeper  230 00:10:48,189 --> 00:10:50,149             than the cost                of a Pittsburgh duplex, huh?     231 00:10:50,191 --> 00:10:52,026                          How much?  232 00:10:52,068 --> 00:10:55,196          Twenty mil? Fifty?          233 00:10:55,237 --> 00:10:56,989          -About twice that.                          -Oof!                234 00:10:57,031 --> 00:10:58,824       Boss wants a beach house                 and a ski chalet.          235 00:10:58,866 --> 00:10:59,992                  No.                 236 00:11:00,034 --> 00:11:01,452           No, they do not.           237 00:11:01,494 --> 00:11:03,162    Or that's not the why, anyway.    238 00:11:03,204 --> 00:11:05,081  Correct. It's not for lifestyle.  239 00:11:05,122 --> 00:11:07,500       I plan to leave once I've         accrued enough personal capital  240 00:11:07,541 --> 00:11:10,586      to drive real, measurable,             prosocial advancement.        241 00:11:10,628 --> 00:11:13,589    A 5% withdrawal rate to protect       against principal erosion?      242 00:11:13,631 --> 00:11:15,132  Exactly.                           243 00:11:15,174 --> 00:11:16,926          One hundred million               is a solid starting point      244 00:11:16,967 --> 00:11:19,970      to build a legacy of truly       effective humanitarian progress.  245 00:11:20,012 --> 00:11:23,140    Okay, but if my math is right,            and I'm p-sure it is,        246 00:11:23,182 --> 00:11:26,143         you still got a while            before you get to temple-run.    247 00:11:26,185 --> 00:11:28,646        I do, so I gotta serve                my master, get paid,         248 00:11:28,688 --> 00:11:30,189             and make sure                    I can move the needle        249 00:11:30,231 --> 00:11:32,149              even before                       I hit my number.           250 00:11:32,191 --> 00:11:34,527    To that end, there's something       we need to work on for Prince.    251 00:11:34,568 --> 00:11:36,654           -He asked you to?                        -Not yet.              252 00:11:44,620 --> 00:11:46,330                  Oh.                 253 00:11:46,372 --> 00:11:47,915                 Yes.                 254 00:11:47,957 --> 00:11:50,543        I do love a Taylor Ham.       255 00:11:50,584 --> 00:11:52,712       I made a swing out to Jersey               and nabbed 'em.         256 00:11:52,753 --> 00:11:54,004  Nothing like the original.         257 00:11:54,046 --> 00:11:56,215           Absolutely so.                       Tremendous sandwich.       258 00:11:56,257 --> 00:11:57,717           The pork roll.                       John Taylor original.      259 00:11:57,758 --> 00:11:58,968                           [laughs]  260 00:11:59,009 --> 00:12:00,636        And you, Chuck Rhoades,       261 00:12:00,678 --> 00:12:02,138          went out to Jersey                and snagged us a couple.       262 00:12:02,179 --> 00:12:03,389                             I did.  263 00:12:03,431 --> 00:12:05,558        -I bagged a few for us.                       -Ah.                 264 00:12:05,599 --> 00:12:08,185       It's a shame the Olympics           only come every four years,     265 00:12:08,227 --> 00:12:11,230     or else I'd have guys like you     and Prince playing fetch for me  266 00:12:11,272 --> 00:12:13,899  up and down the Eastern Seaboard             on the regular.           267 00:12:13,941 --> 00:12:15,901  Could fire half my staff.          268 00:12:15,943 --> 00:12:18,070       Governor, I am a longtime                friend and ally,           269 00:12:18,112 --> 00:12:19,864             while Mike Prince is--  270 00:12:19,905 --> 00:12:22,825       Between us, I told him          he's mostly shit out of luck.      271 00:12:22,867 --> 00:12:24,910               Perfect.                    So you're with me on this.      272 00:12:24,952 --> 00:12:26,912      That's what I told Prince.      273 00:12:26,954 --> 00:12:28,414         And it might be true.        274 00:12:28,456 --> 00:12:32,418     Listen, I know I got to take                 a flume ride             275 00:12:32,460 --> 00:12:34,420     with one of you two lunatics                   on this.               276 00:12:34,462 --> 00:12:36,380        I just haven't decided                 who I win with yet.         277 00:12:36,422 --> 00:12:38,549      And you both need me more,      278 00:12:38,591 --> 00:12:40,426             so I finally                      got my balls back.          279 00:12:40,468 --> 00:12:42,928        Can you hear 'em clank?       280 00:12:42,970 --> 00:12:45,973      Loud as the cymbal crashes           on "Hungry Like the Wolf."      281 00:12:46,015 --> 00:12:48,601        But perhaps this isn't                     a decision              282 00:12:48,642 --> 00:12:50,811      that requires a great show                 of inner steel.           283 00:12:50,853 --> 00:12:52,938                 Perhaps it merely                  requires remembering  284 00:12:52,980 --> 00:12:56,275         that we, both of us,                   serve the people.          285 00:12:56,317 --> 00:12:59,737     And Mike Prince's grand plan,        it doesn't really serve them.    286 00:12:59,779 --> 00:13:01,530             We know this.            287 00:13:01,572 --> 00:13:03,240          You may know this.          288 00:13:04,658 --> 00:13:07,203            But I may need                  a little more convincing.      289 00:13:10,164 --> 00:13:12,041

00:13:37,733      I know what you're asking,           and I have the answer.          297 00:13:39,193 --> 00:13:40,861           Kate Sacker is the name              you know you need to say  298 00:13:40,903 --> 00:13:42,446                   but can't quite                    bring yourself to.  299 00:13:42,488 --> 00:13:44,198  [laughs]   Salut.                    300 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:45,658  Is she as good                      as they say?                       301 00:13:45,699 --> 00:13:47,660             Steel-trap legal mind,              charisma,                302

 Learned at Chuck's elbow.      304 00:13:52,581 --> 00:13:53,833  Sounds amazing.                     Is she gettable?                   305 00:13:53,874 --> 00:13:55,793        No. She's completely loyal.  306 00:13:55,835 --> 00:13:57,461     -Right, who's next on your--?              -There's no next.          307 00:13:57,503 --> 00:13:59,296                  Kim Philby                           seemed loyal too.  308 00:13:59,338 --> 00:14:01,131      And he broke                     a nation's heart.                  309 00:14:01,173 --> 00:14:02,842  What's my best first move?         310 00:14:03,884 --> 00:14:05,594                               Nah.  311 00:14:05,636 --> 00:14:08,681       I'm going to respectfully

 without me steering you in         the plucking of his personnel.    314 00:14:14,228 --> 00:14:16,480        There must be something               that would induce you        315 00:14:16,522 --> 00:14:18,107  to do it for me,                   316 00:14:18,148 --> 00:14:19,775  to make it worth it.               317 00:14:21,068 --> 00:14:22,695      I'm not that transactional.     318 00:14:22,736 --> 00:14:24,905             And it's not                    just because of Chuck.        319 00:14:26,574 --> 00:14:28,367  Sacker's special in all the ways            I just mentioned,          320 00:14:28,409 --> 00:14:29,952      but in intangible ways too.     321 00:14:29,994 --> 00:14:32,705      The thought of bringing her                   in here?               322 00:14:32,746 --> 00:14:34,540            Even if I dealt                with the Chuck-of-it-all--      323 00:14:34,582 --> 00:14:36,041       In here is not the place                  it used to be.            324 00:14:36,083 --> 00:14:37,501           We're different.           325 00:14:37,543 --> 00:14:40,212           I want to believe                    that that's true.          326 00:14:40,254 --> 00:14:41,881             Consider it.             327 00:14:41,922 --> 00:14:44,049     You hear what you're asking,                    right?                328 00:14:44,091 --> 00:14:46,218      You hear what I'm offering,                    right?                329 00:14:46,260 --> 00:14:47,803             So will you?             330 00:14:55,811 --> 00:14:57,646      Well, if anyone could give           Jersey a fighting chance,       331 00:14:57,688 --> 00:14:59,648        it's Bruce Springsteen                  and Jon Bon Jovi.          332 00:14:59,690 --> 00:15:01,567      I'm glad to hear you fellas            are down for the cause.       333 00:15:01,609 --> 00:15:03,569        I'll send you details.

 We got big stuff                      on our plate.    347 00:15:28,260 --> 00:15:31,221    I need to start raising money,              building a staff,          348 00:15:31,263 --> 00:15:33,265

00:15:37,394               I get it.              351 00:15:37,436 --> 00:15:40,105           We all had to hit              the pause button for months.     352 00:15:40,147 --> 00:15:42,066         But everyone's plans             have had to take a back seat     353 00:15:42,107 --> 00:15:43,275         for the greater good.        354 00:15:43,317 --> 00:15:44,944      That was fine for a while.      355 00:15:44,985 --> 00:15:46,612               No more.               356 00:15:46,654 --> 00:15:48,781           All due respect,              I need big cases with big wins    357 00:15:48,822 --> 00:15:50,824          to burnish the rep,                 or I need to get out.        358 00:15:50,866 --> 00:15:55,162    We are going to have big cases.          You will. Very soon.         359 00:15:55,204 --> 00:15:57,164     We're stopping Citizen Prince               from buying off           360 00:15:57,206 -->

00:41:36,744 --> 00:41:38,662      People love free tote bags.     956 00:41:38,704 --> 00:41:40,956    Especially when they don't know      what they could have gotten.     957 00:41:40,998 --> 00:41:42,833             But, come on,                     what did you think          958 00:41:42,875 --> 00:41:45,503      your plan was really going            to accomplish long term?       959 00:41:45,544 --> 00:41:47,463      -What was going to change?              -You know the answer.        960 00:41:47,505 --> 00:41:49,173         With Wi-Fi they could

       963 00:41:53,219 --> 00:41:54,845                 I do.                964 00:41:54,887 --> 00:41:57,431     You know, I've lived through           versions of this before.       965 00:41:57,473 --> 00:41:59,183            More than that,                        Africa has.             966 00:41:59,225 --> 00:42:00,684     There was a great initiative,    967 00:42:00,726 --> 00:42:02,269         with great goodwill                  and good intentions,         968 00:42:02,311 --> 00:42:04,438            to build wells                    in different places.         969 00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:07,608      Burkina Faso, Ghana, Mali.                      More.                970 00:42:07,650 --> 00:42:09,443      Ones that really needed it.     971 00:42:09,485 --> 00:42:10,694  Only once the wells were built,    972 00:42:10,736 --> 00:42:12,154  there was no money                  to maintain them.                  973 00:42:12,196 --> 00:42:13,781      So when they broke               and fell into disrepair,           974 00:42:13,822 --> 00:42:15,324      no one knew                      how to fix them.                   975 00:42:15,366 --> 00:42:17,618       The people also                 became reliant on them.            976 00:42:17,660 --> 00:42:19,203       So instead of                   making things better,              977 00:42:19,245 --> 00:42:20,871  the people ended up                       worse off.                    978 00:42:20,913 --> 00:42:22,790       This would be like that.       979 00:42:22,831 --> 00:42:24,875       You'd get them dependent               on the connectivity,         980 00:42:24,917 --> 00:42:27,878    and then, when it disappeared,               they'd be lost.           981 00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:30,089        Sure, it's easy to take                that position now.          982 00:42:30,130 --> 00:42:31,882        Nothing easy about it.        983 00:42:31,924 --> 00:42:34,426    But I pick and choose my shots           to make things better,        984 00:42:34,468 --> 00:42:37,221         so that when I do it,                      it works.              985 00:42:37,263 --> 00:42:39,682         It holds. It sticks.         986 00:42:39,723 --> 00:42:43,435  That's what I'm going to do too,   soon enough, full-fucking-time.    987 00:42:44,436 -->

             You must be                   within striking distance       995 00:42:59,535 --> 00:43:00,828         of that number, too,                        by now.               996 00:43:00,869
