00:00:15,557 --> 00:00:17,308             A quid pro quo.           8 00:00:17,350 --> 00:00:18,893            The Olympics.             9 00:00:18,935 --> 00:00:21,187  You want to be on

           those athletes            12 00:00:23,898 --> 00:00:25,692         into medal machines.         13 00:00:25,734 --> 00:00:27,360                              Done.  14 00:00:27,402 -->

00:00:31,906 --> 00:00:33,366                -Pack?                         -Before the Games,          17 00:00:33,408 --> 00:00:35,201         I need to spend time                  in the mountains.           18 00:00:35,243 --> 00:00:38,204         Yeah, but I thought             we were going to try here. Us.    19 00:00:38,246 --> 00:00:40,874     The Olympics mean something             very different to me          20 00:00:40,915 --> 00:00:42,250         than they do to you.         21 00:00:42,292 --> 00:00:45,211          This is everything                   I ever worked for,          22 00:00:45,253 --> 00:00:48,173            and I need you                       to do the work            23 00:00:48,214 --> 00:00:49,799            and climb for the kiss.  24 00:00:49,841 --> 00:00:51,885      Yes. You're right.               25 00:00:51,926 --> 00:00:53,928         And I will.                   26 00:00:55,096 --> 00:00:56,556               [Chuck]                    Prince didn't pull this off      27 00:00:56,598 --> 00:00:58,558         all by his lonesome.         28 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,227        So we separate Prince                from his power base.          29 00:01:01,269 --> 00:01:03,980     Let him fall like the smoke              from the fireworks           30 00:01:04,022 --> 00:01:05,899  drifting down on this fine city.  31 00:01:05,940 --> 00:01:07,400           [crowd cheering]           32 00:01:47,190 --> 00:01:49,400  Prince, let's go. Wake up.

--> 00:01:57,867        We're not doing that.                 Let's go, come on.           36 00:02:00,245 --> 00:02:01,538               [sighs]                37 00:02:04,582 --> 00:02:06,042               [huffs]                38 00:02:11,172 --> 00:02:12,966     [Prince] I guess that's why             I hired Gabby Reece.          39 00:02:13,007 --> 00:02:14,634       [Reece] The worst thing                  that can happen            40 00:02:14,676 --> 00:02:16,302    is a person gets comfortable,     41 00:02:16,344 --> 00:02:18,471    and then they think the world           is a comfortable place.        42 00:02:18,513 --> 00:02:21,307      You have to be comfortable              being uncomfortable.         43 00:02:21,349 --> 00:02:23,101  You catch my drift?                 I mean, otherwise,                 44 00:02:23,143 --> 00:02:25,770        you would think, like,               this pace is running.         45 00:02:25,812 --> 00:02:27,313          But this is a jog.          46 00:02:27,355 --> 00:02:29,149     Well, it's more like a walk.     47 00:02:29,190 --> 00:02:31,317           It's a long run.                    It's not a sprint.          48 00:02:31,359 --> 00:02:34,487          Life is a sprint.              You just hope it's a long one.    49 00:02:34,529 --> 00:02:35,655           When I do this for real,  50 00:02:35,697 --> 00:02:37,323       when I run the original                  marathon route,            51 00:02:37,365 --> 00:02:40,118         it'll remind people                 of doing hard things,         52 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,328       and the original meaning                  of the Games.             53 00:02:42,370 --> 00:02:46,207     The original run into Athens            was to bring a message        54 00:02:46,249 --> 00:02:49,460             about a war                     that was finally won.         55 00:02:49,502 --> 00:02:54,340      And the messenger, he died          because his cardio was crap.     56 00:02:54,382 --> 00:02:56,885         And you know what?            You haven't won a damn war yet.    57 00:02:56,926 --> 00:02:58,887              Come on!                            Pick it up!              58 00:03:01,598 --> 00:03:03,641               [huffs]                59 00:03:07,562 -->

00:03:44,432 --> 00:03:46,851    I'm just trying to stay loose,             turn my mind off.           66 00:03:46,893 --> 00:03:49,771    It's the closest thing I know               to meditation.             67 00:03:49,812 --> 00:03:52,565     But this particular run has         a higher purpose, doesn't it?     68 00:03:52,607 --> 00:03:55,902  I want to celebrate what humans              are capable of.            69 00:03:55,944 --> 00:03:58,613     And, yes, when I do this run             in the summer months         70 00:03:58,655 --> 00:04:00,114            before the Games begin,  71 00:04:00,156 --> 00:04:02,283           I hope thousands join me             all around the world.     72 00:04:02,325 --> 00:04:04,035           Millions, even,               just to help welcome the Games    73 00:04:04,077 --> 00:04:05,578                  to New York City.  74 00:04:05,620 --> 00:04:07,205  But that is the purpose            75 00:04:07,247 --> 00:04:08,915  of the traditional run, right?     76 00:04:08,957 --> 00:04:10,416  People all around the world        77 00:04:10,458 --> 00:04:12,335        get to carry the torch                to the destination.          78 00:04:12,377 --> 00:04:15,255            But with you,                   it seems very personal.        79 00:04:15,296 --> 00:04:17,423  You seem, some say,                   deeply invested,                  80 00:04:17,465 --> 00:04:19,259  maybe more than what                people are comfortable with.       81 00:04:19,300 --> 00:04:20,927  So here's a question:              82 00:04:20,969 --> 00:04:23,096    what, if anything, are you         trying to say about yourself?      83 00:04:23,137 --> 00:04:24,389     And I ask that                    because these Games                84 00:04:24,430 --> 00:04:26,099     are for all                       global citizens,                   85 00:04:26,140 --> 00:04:29,310  not just for                        Michael Thomas Aquinas Prince.     86 00:04:30,311 --> 00:04:31,354                           [laughs]  87 00:04:31,396 --> 00:04:32,855            Well, Gayle,                         I could throw             88 00:04:32,897 --> 00:04:34,357      the famous Roosevelt quote                     at you                89 00:04:34,399 --> 00:04:35,858         about getting in the ring.  90 00:04:35,900 --> 00:04:37,777      But instead, I'll give you               some Dusty Rhodes.          91 00:04:37,819 --> 00:04:39,112  Okay.

00:05:04,554  Really?                            105 00:05:04,595 --> 00:05:06,139               And for Prince                       to stay with her...    106 00:05:06,180 --> 00:05:07,807               that's no mean feat.  107 00:05:07,849 --> 00:05:09,559          And the guy's got                        a day job               108 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,269                 with pretty decent                    remuneration.      109 00:05:11,311 --> 00:05:12,645  They ought to bottle                his sweat                          110 00:05:12,687 --> 00:05:14,272  and sell it for a million           dollars an ounce.                  111 00:05:14,314 --> 00:05:16,149  I'm surprised--                     shocked, really--                  112 00:05:16,190 -->

 The question is, how?         121 00:05:40,298 --> 00:05:44,218     What's the only thing worse       than not getting what you want?    122 00:05:46,012 --> 00:05:47,263             Getting what you want,  123 00:05:47,305 --> 00:05:48,681               but having it ripped                  from your hands.     124 00:05:48,723 --> 00:05:50,058               [laughs]               125 00:05:50,099 --> 00:05:52,352          It's like I hired                      my own twin.              126 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,817         [Prince] Anyone know            what "sic 'em" actually means?    127 00:05:59,859 --> 00:06:03,529      It's a command originating         from the order for attack dogs    128 00:06:03,571 --> 00:06:07,575               to seek,                   to pursue with lethal focus.     129 00:06:07,617 --> 00:06:10,620     Now, if you own a great dog,                 a loyal dog,             130 00:06:10,661 --> 00:06:12,497    a dog that would kill for you              on that command,            131 00:06:12,538 --> 00:06:14,582        as every person here                 would for each other,         132 00:06:14,624 --> 00:06:17,251  you're very careful not to speak         that command loosely.         133 00:06:17,293 --> 00:06:19,253         You save those words             for when the target is clear     134

 are going to present          140 00:06:30,598 --> 00:06:33,351            an opportunity                    for maximal profits,         141 00:06:33,393 --> 00:06:35,895     and so I want everyone here           to free up some capital.        142 00:06:35,937 --> 00:06:38,314         Sell off that which                 you've been holding on        143 00:06:38,356 --> 00:06:40,525         for the same reason                   a college senior            144 00:06:40,566 --> 00:06:42,235           holds on to her                   high school yearbook,         145 00:06:42,276 --> 00:06:44,237      for sentiment and comfort.      146 00:06:44,278 --> 00:06:47,031    And remember what it was like        when the future was brighter      147 00:06:47,073 --> 00:06:49,575       than a shiny red F-150.        148 00:06:49,617 --> 00:06:52,328             When you say                   free up some capital...?       149 00:06:52,370 --> 00:06:54,747       I mean sell the house,              go west and find the gold       150 00:06:54,789 --> 00:06:56,082      before the next guy does.       151 00:06:56,124 --> 00:06:57,458              [Victor]                   Games open a window for sure,     152 00:06:57,500 --> 00:06:59,043     but I don't want to dump out                of great shit             153 00:06:59,085 --> 00:07:00,545                     on some flyer.  154 00:07:00,586 --> 00:07:02,839         To respectfully echo                    that concern,             155 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,882          maybe some of us                  could sit this one out.        156 00:07:04,924 --> 00:07:06,551       I don't mind the bench.        157 00:07:06,592 --> 00:07:10,054       Well, when you own dogs,                you feed them all,          158 00:07:10,096 --> 00:07:13,641    but you save the freshest meat       for those that don't hesitate.    159 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,937                 Find the best ways                   into new plays,     160 00:07:17,979 --> 00:07:20,815       and I'll back your move                with the main fund.          161

            163 00:07:29,073 --> 00:07:30,450      and hospitality start-ups.      164 00:07:30,491 --> 00:07:33,202      Give Airbnb a good scare.       165 00:07:33,244 --> 00:07:34,912

00:07:40,126 --> 00:07:41,419               [Philip]                             Thanks.                170 00:07:41,461 --> 00:07:43,129        I'll take air travel,         171 00:07:43,171 --> 00:07:45,631    aim to secure official airline         sponsorship for the Games.      172 00:07:46,757 --> 00:07:48,468  I already started working                 on Hypersonic,                173 00:07:48,509 --> 00:07:49,760           a new high-tech                     passenger airline           174 00:07:49,802 --> 00:07:51,471           that travels 3X                     the sound barrier.          175 00:07:51,512 --> 00:07:53,222       I've done the research,              and I'm in the process         176 00:07:53,264 --> 00:07:55,141      of building a relationship                 with the CEO.             177 00:07:55,183 --> 00:07:57,518       Good. You can put Philip                    in touch.               178 00:07:57,560 -->

00:08:05,485 --> 00:08:07,445             I'll go with                  self-driving cars instead.      181 00:08:07,487 --> 00:08:09,071         Similar sponsorship                    opportunities.             182 00:08:09,113 --> 00:08:11,115  But next time I get first pick,            I'll be taking it.           183 00:08:11,157 --> 00:08:12,950                       No sympathy.  184 00:08:15,912 --> 00:08:17,455                Okay.                 185 00:08:20,208 --> 00:08:21,959          Divvy up the rest.          186 00:08:25,087 --> 00:08:27,089        Now, where my dogs at?        187 00:08:27,131 --> 00:08:29,467              [all bark]              188 00:08:37,642 --> 00:08:38,893               Sic 'em!               189 00:08:40,228 --> 00:08:41,521       I don't think I've ever                   actually seen             190 00:08:41,562 --> 00:08:43,189         a rich, powerful man                   enjoy it before.           191 00:08:43,231 --> 00:08:46,275         Moments like this,            if you don't actually enjoy it,    192 00:08:46,317 --> 00:08:48,694             what's the darn point?  193 00:08:50,238 --> 00:08:53,032  Where do you go when you need            to breathe a little?           194 00:08:53,074 --> 00:08:56,327      I have a wonderful library       on the first floor of my duplex.  195 00:08:56,369 --> 00:08:57,787               Great old 78 player.  196 00:08:57,828 --> 00:09:00,206          And a 60-year-old                  Speyside single malt.         197 00:09:00,248 --> 00:09:01,707  But your family's there.           198 00:09:01,749 --> 00:09:03,668                 That makes it                    all the more pleasant.  199 00:09:03,709 --> 00:09:05,211                Shit.                 200 00:09:05,253 --> 00:09:07,755        Hit me with the real of it.  201 00:09:07,797 --> 00:09:10,007  I'm moving in with Chelz,                    my girl,                   202 00:09:10,049 --> 00:09:13,219     and she wants me to get rid            my rooms at the Pierre.        203 00:09:13,261 --> 00:09:16,347      I want to make her happy,           but I can't do it, not yet.      204 00:09:16,389 --> 00:09:17,723  I'll move out and in with her,     205 00:09:17,765 --> 00:09:20,226       but I can't actually                 let the suite go.              206 00:09:20,268 --> 00:09:23,187  So I was thinking you could let       me put them under your name.      207 00:09:23,229 --> 00:09:24,772  I'd pay, of course,                    off the books.                   208 00:09:25,898 --> 00:09:28,234        For a host of reasons,                 primary among them          209 00:09:28,276 --> 00:09:30,653  that I don't believe this serves       you or your relationship,       210 00:09:30,695 --> 00:09:31,779                          I say no.  211 00:09:31,821 --> 00:09:34,615            I also say--                       and I mean this--           212 00:09:34,657 --> 00:09:37,326          if you ever find               you need a moment to breathe,     213 00:09:37,368 --> 00:09:38,911          come on over to my place.  214 00:09:38,953 --> 00:09:41,372           There's more than enough             60-year to go around.     215 00:09:44,625 --> 00:09:45,918               [Rian]                             I'll do it.              216 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,170        You can put the rooms                     in my name.              217 00:09:48,212 --> 00:09:49,755  Really?                            218 00:09:49,797 --> 00:09:51,591  I can tell that's what you need,            not a pep talk.            219 00:09:51,632 --> 00:09:53,009                It's like at Brown,  220 00:09:53,050 --> 00:09:54,844            they didn't lecture you                not to do Molly.       221 00:09:54,885 --> 00:09:56,596             Instead, some students              gave you a testing kit  222 00:09:56,637 --> 00:09:58,848         to make sure it's actually             Molly you're doing.       223 00:09:58,889 --> 00:10:01,183      And they hope eventually            you'll just decide to quit.      224 00:10:01,225 --> 00:10:03,894  God fucking bless them.            225 00:10:03,936 --> 00:10:05,438  And you.                           226 00:10:07,315 --> 00:10:10,234     [Chuck] Well, I hope you're         enjoying the city, Miss Brett.    227 00:10:10,276 --> 00:10:12,194      Or do you prefer Katerina?      228 00:10:12,236 --> 00:10:14,614            We do not yet                       know each other.           229 00:10:14,655 --> 00:10:16,449        Then Miss Brett it is.        230 00:10:16,490 --> 00:10:18,284         Thank you very much                    for seeing us.             231 00:10:18,326 --> 00:10:21,454              I'm a big,                      big Olympics person.         232 00:10:21,495 --> 00:10:22,830             -[chuckles]                   -One of my first memories       233 00:10:22,872 --> 00:10:24,999         was watching Klammer                   on the downhill.           234 00:10:25,041 --> 00:10:26,792       Couldn't believe the way               he got up in the air         235 00:10:26,834 --> 00:10:27,960          yet stayed on the course.  236 00:10:28,002 --> 00:10:30,087          Inspired me to try                     to do the same            237 00:10:30,129 --> 00:10:32,256                in my chosen field.  238 00:10:32,298 --> 00:10:34,800       The Games mean something              like this to so many.         239 00:10:34,842 --> 00:10:36,427           And I never tire                      of hearing it.            240 00:10:36,469 --> 00:10:39,347             The majesty,                     the patriotic pride,         241 00:10:39,388 --> 00:10:40,973     the striving for excellence.     242 00:10:41,015 --> 00:10:43,809    That's all why I was so glad,                  at first,               243 00:10:43,851 --> 00:10:46,479    to know that they were coming                to New York.              244 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,357        From my understanding,              you wanted to stop them.       245 00:10:49,398 --> 00:10:51,484     Oh, once I found out who was          bringing them to New York,      246 00:10:51,525 --> 00:10:54,362    and whom he was working with--          a certain Colin Drache--       247 00:10:54,403 --> 00:10:56,155      then, yes, I took action.       248 00:10:56,197 --> 00:10:57,823        Not to stop the Games.        249 00:10:57,865 --> 00:11:01,452         No, to protect them               from disgrace, from shame.      250 00:11:01,494 --> 00:11:05,581    But this Drache is not the one        person involved with Prince.     251 00:11:05,623 --> 00:11:08,125     He put together a top group.     252 00:11:08,167 --> 00:11:11,420  Every important business leader               in New York.              253 00:11:11,462 --> 00:11:14,173       Surely they are not all                    "in on it."              254 00:11:14,215 --> 00:11:17,468     They may not know every move         that Prince has made, but--      255 00:11:17,510 --> 00:11:19,970  Every four years                    the rumors start.                  256 00:11:20,012 --> 00:11:23,015     This is how I know the Games          are really about to begin.      257 00:11:23,057 --> 00:11:25,142         Oh, no, no, no, no.          258 00:11:25,184 --> 00:11:27,144      Much more than that here.       259 00:11:27,186 --> 00:11:28,688  You have a case                        to present                       260 00:11:28,729 --> 00:11:31,148  against Michael Prince                   and his group?                 261 00:11:33,734 --> 00:11:36,529          Let me answer that                    with a question.           262 00:11:36,570 --> 00:11:39,031      Do you believe an animal--                 a bear, say--             263 00:11:39,073 --> 00:11:41,033          can commit crimes                     against nature,            264 00:11:41,075 --> 00:11:43,911    even though that bear is only        doing what he was made to do?     265 00:11:45,079 --> 00:11:46,539              -I do not.                              -Ah.                 266 00:11:46,580 --> 00:11:48,207        Then you've never seen                   such an animal            267 00:11:48,249 --> 00:11:50,710       engaging in an activity           called high-grading, have you?    268 00:11:50,751 --> 00:11:53,170                -Hmm?                            -This is when             269 00:11:53,212 --> 00:11:55,214  the bears are in the last stages            of hyperphagia.            270 00:11:55,256 --> 00:11:58,217    They're eating twenty, thirty,       forty thousand calories a day     271 00:11:58,259 --> 00:12:01,053         to ready themselves               for winter's hibernation.       272 00:12:01,095 --> 00:12:03,556        Now in the beginning,                they catch a salmon,          273 00:12:03,597 --> 00:12:05,015                 they eat a salmon.  274 00:12:05,057 --> 00:12:07,393              Natural. As intended.  275 00:12:07,435 --> 00:12:11,355      Yes. But towards the end,            the bears are mostly full.      276 00:12:11,397 --> 00:12:13,315     The supply could be cut off              and they'd be fine.          277 00:12:13,357 --> 00:12:17,069  They'd sail through the winter.        But they don't stop eating.      278 00:12:18,779 --> 00:12:20,865  Instead, they become very picky.  279 00:12:20,906 --> 00:12:22,867      The bears grab the salmon                in their mouths,            280 00:12:22,908 --> 00:12:25,494     they turn them inside out,        devour only the brain and skin,    281 00:12:25,536 --> 00:12:28,247       and throw the rest away.       282 00:12:29,749 --> 00:12:32,877      Now, they are gorging on             only the most choice bits,      283 00:12:32,918 --> 00:12:35,588      killing because they can,              because they want to,         284 00:12:35,629 --> 00:12:37,465          not out of need...          285 00:12:37,506 --> 00:12:41,761      and leaving a giant pile         of mostly whole, skinned salmon    286 00:12:41,802 --> 00:12:45,264         sitting there to rot                     in the sun.              287 00:12:48,184 --> 00:12:50,770         I'll admit this is                   a disturbing image.          288 00:12:50,811 --> 00:12:52,146               [Chuck]                           It should be.             289 00:12:52,188 --> 00:12:54,648           And Mike Prince                   is one of those bears.        290 00:12:57,151 --> 00:12:59,403        Society is the river,             the citizens are the salmon.     291 00:12:59,445 --> 00:13:01,489  And now he wants the Games, too?  292 00:13:03,199 --> 00:13:04,784          It's high-grading.          293 00:13:10,664 --> 00:13:12,625            I understand                      what you're saying.          294 00:13:14,126 --> 00:13:16,420          I also understand                      that it means             295 00:13:16,462 --> 00:13:20,049         you don't have any               real evidence of corruption      296 00:13:20,090 --> 00:13:21,801          or anything else.           297 00:13:22,927 --> 00:13:23,928  When you do,                       298 00:13:23,969 --> 00:13:26,138        I will act                     right along with you.              299 00:13:28,599 --> 00:13:31,811             Until then,                        I move forward.            300 00:13:39,735 --> 00:13:41,278            [door closes]             301 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:42,863  "Until then, I move forward"?       Come the fuck on.                  302 00:13:42,905 --> 00:13:44,824         We break Prince off                   from his friends.           303 00:13:44,865 --> 00:13:46,659    That's how he loses the Games.    304 00:13:46,700 --> 00:13:48,118                  With a threat                     to take their money,  305 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:49,495                     a convincing                        fucking threat.  306 00:13:49,537 --> 00:13:51,163        -I can think of a few.

 -Protocol, you know.                   -Fine, listen...           546 00:23:43,463 --> 00:23:46,216       if there were inquiries,            would our status be solid?      547 00:23:46,258 --> 00:23:47,759                 Quite.                548 00:23:47,801 --> 00:23:50,470      Untraceable. Everything's            locked, my friend.              549 00:23:50,512 --> 00:23:53,765        Mm-hmm. Most everyone              who's fallen thought that.      550 00:23:53,807 --> 00:23:55,767          Please. Amateurs.           551 00:23:55,809 --> 00:23:57,310                Right.                552 00:23:57,352 --> 00:23:59,312            You know her                       better than I do.           553 00:23:59,354 --> 00:24:01,731    Can I count on Katerina Brett               to stay locked             554 00:24:01,773 --> 00:24:03,483        even if there's noise?        555 00:24:05,402 --> 00:24:06,820       Oh, Michael, Michael...        556 00:24:08,029 --> 00:24:11,324    Miss Brett is a mercenary type    557 00:24:11,366 --> 00:24:13,743    who cares about a proper Games                 above all.              558 00:24:13,785 --> 00:24:16,621       She will not countenance                   impropriety.             559 00:24:16,663 --> 00:24:18,582             You understand?           560 00:24:18,623 --> 00:24:22,794        So, in that way, yeah,         you can count on her absolutely.  561 00:24:31,511 --> 00:24:34,222               -Boss--                     -Oh, none of that. No, no.      562 00:24:34,264 --> 00:24:36,558  You're no junior.                  563 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,810       I paraphrase the modern             philosopher Steve Parish:       564 00:24:38,852 --> 00:24:41,146    I am not the boss.                 You are not the boss.              565 00:24:41,188 --> 00:24:44,274           The situation,                    that's the damn boss.         566 00:24:44,316 --> 00:24:45,775         I didn't read Parish                    at university.            567 00:24:45,817 --> 00:24:48,111  Well, philosophy                    was his sideline.                  568 00:24:48,153 --> 00:24:50,864  His main gig was lead roadie            for the Grateful Dead.          569 00:24:50,906 --> 00:24:53,950       And his experience              on that long, strange trip         570 00:24:53,992 --> 00:24:56,703          taught him,                  you think you're the boss          571 00:24:56,745 --> 00:24:58,205  right until the car breaks down.  572 00:24:58,246 --> 00:24:59,915       At which point,                      it is revealed                 573 00:24:59,956 --> 00:25:01,708  the carburetor is the boss.        574 00:25:01,750 --> 00:25:05,462    Well, right now, the situation          is an uncooperative boss       575 00:25:05,504 --> 00:25:07,047         who goes by the name                 of Governor Sweeney.         576 00:25:07,088 --> 00:25:09,382          He has a conflict               and won't attend the dinner.     577 00:25:09,424 --> 00:25:11,092            He is willing                  to come a different night.      578 00:25:11,134 --> 00:25:13,553     No, that's the complication,              not the situation.          579 00:25:13,595 --> 00:25:15,555          The situation is,                    we need him there.          580 00:25:15,597 --> 00:25:17,849          That's the driver.                    That's the boss.           581 00:25:17,891 --> 00:25:19,935             That's why                     I'm bringing it to you.        582 00:25:19,976 --> 00:25:21,478                Yeah.                 583 00:25:22,562 --> 00:25:23,939               [laughs]               584 00:25:23,980 --> 00:25:26,316  You know, I bet old Steve Parish            would recognize            585 00:25:26,358 --> 00:25:30,028            that Sweeney                      is Buridan's ass...          586 00:25:30,070 --> 00:25:32,030    caught between hay and water,     587 00:25:32,072 --> 00:25:34,282     equally hungry and thirsty.      588 00:25:34,324 --> 00:25:36,451       We have to convince him                 to come our way,            589 00:25:36,493 --> 00:25:38,537       or risk ending up dead.        590 00:25:41,581 --> 00:25:43,458          ...for that report.                  Let's do more on this.        591 00:25:43,500 --> 00:25:44,960    Our emerging action segment...    592 00:25:45,001 --> 00:25:47,629              -[sighs]                          -[Philip] Whoa.            593 00:25:47,671 --> 00:25:49,464        You didn't just go big                   on Hypersonic,            594 00:25:49,506 --> 00:25:50,882  you went Snake River Canyon big.  595 00:25:50,924 --> 00:25:52,175  I'm familiar.                      596 00:25:52,217 --> 00:25:53,510  Magic Valley region                 of southern Idaho.                 597 00:25:53,552 --> 00:25:55,053      It's more of                         an Evel Knievel reference.      598 00:25:55,095 --> 00:25:56,388  The daredevil.                     599 00:25:56,429 --> 00:25:57,681          I've kept myself                   in the dark about him         600 00:25:57,722 --> 00:26:00,058     because his politics were...     601 00:26:00,100 --> 00:26:01,476          The suits, though.          602 00:26:01,518 --> 00:26:03,186     I'll admit I like the suits.                  Colorful.               603 00:26:03,228 --> 00:26:05,564               He tried to jump it.                    The canyon.        604 00:26:05,605 --> 00:26:07,774     Made him the most famous man           in America for a summer,       605 00:26:07,816 --> 00:26:09,401                      Ali excepted.  606 00:26:09,442 --> 00:26:11,987  I assume Ali is always excepted        from statements like that.       607 00:26:12,028 --> 00:26:13,405                   The problem was,  608 00:26:13,446 --> 00:26:16,116                 Snake River Canyon                   can't be jumped.    609 00:26:16,157 --> 00:26:18,618               Not by a motorcycle.  610 00:26:18,660 --> 00:26:20,161              So Evel built himself              a steam-powered rocket  611 00:26:20,203 --> 00:26:22,372       called the Skycycle X-2              and tried to fly over.         612 00:26:22,414 --> 00:26:25,041     And instead, the most famous              man in America...           613 00:26:25,083 --> 00:26:26,459       Ali excepted.                  614 00:26:26,501 --> 00:26:28,378      ...became the biggest joke           in America.                     615 00:26:29,963 --> 00:26:31,923         Whole nation watched              that Skycycle malfunction,      616 00:26:31,965 --> 00:26:34,426         trip the parachute,             and Evel drift to the bottom.     617 00:26:34,467 --> 00:26:35,844       His rep never recovered.       618 00:26:35,885 --> 00:26:37,887       And you think Hypersonic                 is the Skycycle.           619 00:26:37,929 --> 00:26:39,889      I think it's unproven and          untested in just the same way.    620 00:26:39,931 --> 00:26:41,933        And you came in here              as a compatriot to warn me,      621 00:26:41,975 --> 00:26:43,768         not as a competitor                 trying to dislodge me         622 00:26:43,810 --> 00:26:45,270    from a winning position, sure.    623 00:26:45,312 --> 00:26:46,771           This doesn't have to be              a competition.             624 00:26:46,813 --> 00:26:48,398  If that were true, you              wouldn't be standing there.        625 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:49,858         I may not be rooting                 for you to beat me,          626 00:26:49,899 --> 00:26:51,359         but I am not rooting                 against you, either.         627 00:26:51,401 --> 00:26:52,902           A big win for you                    won't do me any harm,      628 00:26:52,944 --> 00:26:54,696        but you will screw everyone           if you take a big loss.     629 00:26:54,738 --> 00:26:57,198  True in theory, yet                 unlikely in practical terms.       630 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:58,992         You and I both know             your position is way too big.     631 00:26:59,034 --> 00:27:00,493  For you maybe.                     632 00:27:00,535 --> 00:27:02,579  That's fine.                        Stay safe at street level.         633 00:27:02,621 --> 00:27:04,539  But as Mr. Knievel                  might have put it,                 634 00:27:04,581 --> 00:27:07,000  I'm gonna rev my engines                    and jump.                   635 00:27:17,969 --> 00:27:19,596  [sighs]                            636 00:27:21,973 --> 00:27:23,642             House rules?             637 00:27:23,683 --> 00:27:28,521      Uh, this contains                certain unmentionables,            638 00:27:28,563 --> 00:27:31,399  which will remain                       just that.                      639 00:27:31,441 --> 00:27:33,276            Keep my paws off                     the top drawer. Got it.  640 00:27:33,318 --> 00:27:34,986        No, no.                        The whole highboy.                 641 00:27:35,028 --> 00:27:36,488  And the armoire.                   642 00:27:36,529 --> 00:27:39,449  And the bottom shelf                   in the bathroom.                 643 00:27:39,491 --> 00:27:40,659  And the top shelf                   in the bathroom.                   644 00:27:40,700 --> 00:27:42,661  And the cabinet                     over the toilet.                   645 00:27:42,702 --> 00:27:44,579        I'll just steer clear             of the bathroom altogether.      646 00:27:44,621 --> 00:27:46,956          Not that I'll ever             be here anyway, but of course.    647 00:27:46,998 --> 00:27:49,501     I'll reimburse you on Venmo              in varying amounts,          648 00:27:49,542 --> 00:27:52,170          balancing it out                    every three months.          649 00:27:52,212 --> 00:27:54,506  Under "what it's for,"              it'll say "sports bet."            650 00:27:54,547 --> 00:27:56,299                    Ooh, better                      mark those private.  651 00:27:56,341 --> 00:27:59,010     Your gal could be stalking        your Venmo if she's suspicious.    652 00:27:59,052 --> 00:28:01,763     -Stalking Venmo is a thing?                    -It is.                653 00:28:01,805 --> 00:28:03,682          Innovation sucks.           654 00:28:11,481 --> 00:28:13,316  Could I maybe get your POV                 on something?                655 00:28:13,358 --> 00:28:15,568  It's slightly sketch.              656 00:28:15,610 --> 00:28:18,780          "Slightly sketch"                   is my nom de guerre.         657 00:28:18,822 --> 00:28:20,281       You know what?                 658 00:28:20,323 --> 00:28:22,117  It was more                         of an inside thought.              659 00:28:22,158 --> 00:28:23,743             I get that.              660 00:28:23,785 --> 00:28:26,162    I don't have as many of those                as I used to.             661 00:28:26,204 --> 00:28:27,664            But I get it.             662 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,754  Governor, I need you

00:28:47,851 --> 00:28:50,019  The Big Ugly doesn't wrap          669 00:28:50,061 --> 00:28:52,522  until the wee small hours                 of the morning,               670 00:28:52,564 --> 00:28:54,691  and not even Nelson Riddle                could arrange it              671 00:28:54,733 --> 00:28:56,901  so this excuse works on me.        672 00:28:58,027 --> 00:29:00,155

                  I have a bill to pull.        959 00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:45,002      Or we let it go to a vote,               see if it passes.           960 00:41:46,378 --> 00:41:48,339  The Big Ugly's on our side.        961 00:41:48,380 --> 00:41:50,174  If it goes through,                962 00:41:50,216 --> 00:41:52,718  it would be New York's              most aggressive wealth reform      963 00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,804  since FDR was                       bankrolling La Guardia.            964 00:41:55,846 --> 00:41:58,599  Could become a test case            for the nation.                    965 00:41:58,641 --> 00:42:00,184       The world.                     966 00:42:00,226 --> 00:42:01,477               Mm-hmm.

00:42:05,856 --> 00:42:07,441  Leave it to fate.                  970 00:42:10,069 --> 00:42:11,362                 No.                  971 00:42:11,403 --> 00:42:14,281                  No, if I do that,  972 00:42:14,323 --> 00:42:15,699            break my word                      to this camarilla,          973 00:42:15,741 --> 00:42:17,952     I lose all future leverage.      974 00:42:17,993 --> 00:42:21,038    And your future in the public            sector goes extinct.          975 00:42:22,331 --> 00:42:23,707          Without an actual                   interstate compact,          976 00:42:23,749 --> 00:42:25,709           which was really               just a fancy-tasting dinner,     977 00:42:25,751 --> 00:42:27,878          the whole thing's                 toothless anyway, and...       978 00:42:28,921 --> 00:42:31,757      and I have to be honorable                  to my word.              979 00:42:32,675 --> 00:42:35,803

 who can bring the Olympics          to New York.                       988 00:43:03,289 --> 00:43:05,541          -Baseless charges.                    -Utter bullshit.           989 00:43:05,583 -->

00:43:12,339 --> 00:43:15,426        You should refer to me                   as Miss Brett.            992 00:43:15,467 --> 00:43:17,761               I gave this a chance                    to go away,        993 00:43:17,803 --> 00:43:20,681     but I am afraid the New York            Games are tainted now.        994 00:43:20,723 --> 00:43:24,727    My statement is about to go up              on the ICS site.           995 00:43:24,768 --> 00:43:27,563       After an unfortunate series                of developments,           996 00:43:27,605 --> 00:43:30,274            the ICS has come                      to the conclusion          997 00:43:30,316 --> 00:43:31,942           that the 2028 Games         998 00:43:31,984 --> 00:43:34,903          can no longer be held                   in New York City.          999 00:43:34,945 --> 00:43:38,949    Fortunately, after talking to        the organizers in Los Angeles,    1000 00:43:38,991 --> 00:43:41,619           they will be ready                    to host the Games,          1001 00:43:41,660 --> 00:43:45,080         with brand-new sponsors               and renovated stadiums.

--> 00:43:55,924  But it doesn't suck for us. Me.    1005 00:43:55,966 --> 00:43:58,135    This news is our boarding pass        out of our fucked situation.     1006 00:43:58,177 --> 00:44:00,304  We can make a statement saying      that we're exiting our position    1007 00:44:00,346 --> 00:44:01,639  because Hypersonic                  will no longer be                  1008 00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:03,474  the official airline                of the New York Games,             1009 00:44:03,515 --> 00:44:05,142    since L.A. will make               their own airline deal.            1010 00:44:05,184 --> 00:44:06,769         We're going to take a hit.  1011 00:44:06,810 --> 00:44:07,686  Damn right we are.                 1012 00:44:07,728 --> 00:44:09,647             But 10, 15%,                           not 80.                1013 00:44:09,688 --> 00:44:11,523        This will be the story           long enough for us to evacuate    1014 00:44:11,565 --> 00:44:12,983         before the real news                      gets out.               1015 00:44:13,025 --> 00:44:14,902       That their planes will               fucking hospitalize you?       1016 00:44:14,943 --> 00:44:16,445  Exactly.                           1017 00:44:18,864 --> 00:44:20,908    [Philip] I figured there might       be one person at this company     1018 00:44:20,949 --> 00:44:23,160      who wasn't upset the Games               just went bye-bye.          1019 00:44:23,202 --> 00:44:25,162            I also figured            1020 00:44:25,204 --> 00:44:28,165
