1 00:00:33,908 --> 00:00:36,036               [Rhoades]                     Previously, on   Billions...     2 00:00:36,077 --> 00:00:39,456         New York, we did it!         3 00:00:39,497 --> 00:00:41,541      Prince didn't pull this off             all by his lonesome.         4 00:00:41,583 --> 00:00:44,127         So we separate Prince                from his power base.         5 00:00:44,169 --> 00:00:46,838     Philip gets first pick. He's         outperformed everyone lately.    6 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,590       I already started working                 on Hypersonic.            7 00:00:48,631 --> 00:00:50,759  I'm in the process of building      a relationship with the CEO.       8 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,343       There are major problems       9 00:00:52,385 --> 00:00:54,179            with their tech                 and aviation physiology.       10 00:00:54,220 --> 00:00:56,097  There's no way to trade out         without taking a massive loss.     11 00:00:56,139 --> 00:00:57,891           What do you think             they're agreeing to right now?    12 00:00:57,932 --> 00:00:59,392  Oh, fuck.                          13 00:00:59,434 --> 00:01:00,727  [Chuck]   There is                             an item that I have         14 00:01:00,769 --> 00:01:02,062      jammed into a certain bill      15 00:01:02,103 --> 00:01:04,272      that will also be passing,      16 00:01:04,314 --> 00:01:06,858     closing the carried interest                   loophole.              17 00:01:06,900 --> 00:01:10,195  So, what do we need to do to get       the bullet out of the gun?      18 00:01:10,236 --> 00:01:11,905          Had we known, we never                would have been party        19 00:01:11,946 --> 00:01:13,531           to such malfeasance.        20 00:01:13,573 --> 00:01:16,951         These men and women were              unknowingly brought in        21 00:01:16,993 --> 00:01:20,997         to an attempt to commit            bribery at a very high level.    22 00:01:21,039 --> 00:01:23,750  -You gotta be kidding me, Mike.     -It's BS, Andy.                    23 00:01:23,792 --> 00:01:26,586  This news is our boarding pass      out of our fucked situation.       24 00:01:27,796 --> 00:01:29,089       I figured you'd need help      25 00:01:29,130 --> 00:01:30,507         unloading the shares                     at the open.             26 00:01:30,548 --> 00:01:32,092          Yes, another set of                 hands would be good.         27 00:01:32,133 --> 00:01:33,760       We can work through this.      28 00:01:33,802 --> 00:01:36,554     I'm afraid the New York Games              are tainted now.           29 00:01:36,596 --> 00:01:38,890            The ICS has come                      to the conclusion          30 00:01:38,932 --> 00:01:40,558           that the 2028 Games         31 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,311          can no longer be held                   in New York City.          32 00:02:17,178 --> 00:02:20,682   An icy wind burns and scars     33 00:02:20,723 --> 00:02:24,102                Rushes in                       Like a fallen star         34 00:02:24,144 --> 00:02:27,397         Through the narrow space               Between these bars         35 00:02:27,438 --> 00:02:32,235               Looking down                      On Prison Grove           36 00:02:47,709 --> 00:02:50,795            Dug in, hunkered down   37 00:02:50,837 --> 00:02:54,174       Hours race without a sound   38 00:02:54,215 --> 00:02:57,760                Gonna carry me                  To where I'm bound         39 00:02:57,802 --> 00:03:02,432               Looking down                      On Prison Grove           40 00:03:08,563 --> 00:03:10,190                  Two kinds of men.  41 00:03:10,231 --> 00:03:13,234         Those who, in defeat,             pretend they never cared...     42 00:03:14,277 --> 00:03:15,862       and those who come alone       43 00:03:15,904 --> 00:03:19,449         to pack up their gear                and soak in the loss.        44 00:03:20,742 --> 00:03:23,244          I, like you, am a soaker.  45 00:03:23,286 --> 00:03:26,873             I'm no soaker.                     I'm a rebuilder.           46 00:03:27,916 --> 00:03:29,209          Pat Riley approach.         47 00:03:29,250 --> 00:03:31,794          Ah. The godfather.          48 00:03:31,836 --> 00:03:35,215      Another great sage intimate          with the subject of defeat.     49 00:03:35,256 --> 00:03:36,549  And victory.                       50 00:03:36,591 --> 00:03:38,384            Mostly victory.           51 00:03:38,426 --> 00:03:40,887     "A champion needs a motivation          above and beyond winning."  52 00:03:42,055 --> 00:03:43,306           Wiser words, huh?          53 00:03:46,559 --> 00:03:48,061          State your purpose.         54 00:03:49,604 --> 00:03:51,731  Well, in the spirit of all          this inspirational talk,           55 00:03:51,773 --> 00:03:56,569    I wonder if you'd be motivated       to unload this office building    56 00:03:56,611 --> 00:03:58,529    and some of the other property         you bought for the Olympics     57 00:03:58,571 --> 00:04:00,573        to the state land bank.       58 00:04:02,033 --> 00:04:03,326       When I was bootstrapping       59 00:04:03,368 --> 00:04:05,203           my first startup                     in the Bay Area,           60 00:04:05,245 --> 00:04:08,581  I was motivated to go down to       Geraldine's Seafood Market early  61 00:04:08,623 --> 00:04:12,085      so I could buy the freshest           catch before anyone else.      62 00:04:12,126 --> 00:04:14,921            Now, I just buy                    the fishing boats.          63 00:04:14,963 --> 00:04:16,422         Well, by cutting out                    the middleman,            64 00:04:16,464 --> 00:04:18,258            that makes you                     the middleman, no?          65 00:04:18,299 --> 00:04:19,884     No, Chuck, it makes me rich,     66 00:04:19,926 --> 00:04:22,720    with no need to unload anything               at any time             67 00:04:22,762 --> 00:04:25,598         for anyone's reasons                  other than my own.          68 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,768    It makes sense to free up acres       of land you no longer need.     69 00:04:28,810 --> 00:04:31,396    Sell it back to the land bank.        I'll offer you a fair price.     70 00:04:31,437 --> 00:04:33,439             Market rate.             71 00:04:33,481 --> 00:04:35,942     Yeah, I'm not in the business       of buying high and selling low.  72 00:04:35,984 --> 00:04:38,695      And if I was, I don't think              you'd be the fella          73 00:04:38,736 --> 00:04:39,988      I'd want on the other side                  of that deal.            74 00:04:40,029 --> 00:04:41,572        You have to know that.        75 00:04:41,614 --> 00:04:43,449  So, what's your true reason         for being here?                    76 00:04:43,491 --> 00:04:44,951        You trying to prompt me       77 00:04:44,993 --> 00:04:47,120       into making some mistake                   out of anger?            78 00:04:47,161 --> 00:04:49,706      I think you've mistaken me       for someone looking for a fight.  79 00:04:49,747 --> 00:04:52,292          That's in the past.            I'm here to find a way forward,  80 00:04:52,333 --> 00:04:54,794        leave you with dignity                     in defeat.              81 00:04:54,836 --> 00:04:57,880       Hallmark of a guy trying           to give the other guy dignity    82 00:04:57,922 --> 00:04:59,465     is hitting the word "defeat"     83 00:04:59,507 --> 00:05:01,926      harder than Earnie Shavers               hit the heavy bag.          84 00:05:01,968 --> 00:05:04,304                 I may not be quite               as evolved              85 00:05:04,345 --> 00:05:05,930                 as I'd wish...yet.  86 00:05:05,972 --> 00:05:07,140                 I'm working on it.  87 00:05:07,181 --> 00:05:08,599  Aren't we all.                     88 00:05:08,641 --> 00:05:10,476  What, you're really here                   to end this?                 89 00:05:10,518 --> 00:05:13,604  Armistice? Ceasefire?               What are you offering?             90 00:05:13,646 --> 00:05:16,691       I guess I need to see if        I believe you are standing down.  91 00:05:16,733 --> 00:05:19,485         Do I look like a man            readying for battle right now?    92 00:05:19,527 --> 00:05:21,446                  No.                 93 00:05:21,487 --> 00:05:25,533     So like that fabled, frosty,        starlit December night in 1914,  94 00:05:25,575 --> 00:05:28,828      when a melody drifted over         the darkness of no man's land,    95 00:05:28,870 --> 00:05:30,246       British and German troops                 called a truce            96 00:05:30,288 --> 00:05:31,956        to sing holiday carols,       97 00:05:31,998 --> 00:05:34,792    lighting trees in the trenches            rather than cannons,         98 00:05:34,834 --> 00:05:37,045      a symbol of an Earth where          there could indeed be peace.     99 00:05:37,086 --> 00:05:38,796  That particular truce               didn't last very long.             100 00:05:38,838 --> 00:05:40,423                     No, it didn't.  101 00:05:40,465 --> 00:05:42,258         Walter Sinclair Smith               stopped a Mauser round,       102 00:05:42,300 --> 00:05:44,677     -and it was back to business.                  -As am I.              103 00:05:44,719 --> 00:05:46,804     The past is in my rear-view.     104 00:05:46,846 --> 00:05:50,516    I wanted the Olympics for NYC.              We didn't get it.          105 00:05:50,558 --> 00:05:52,518         But there's no reason                 to ready the nukes.         106 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,687        I thrive in peacetime.        107 00:05:54,729 --> 00:05:56,022            How about you?            108 00:05:56,064 --> 00:05:59,484       Oh, it's what I live for.      109 00:05:59,525 --> 00:06:01,319            But, of course,           110 00:06:01,361 --> 00:06:05,281         the best way to peace           is through overwhelming force.    111 00:06:09,327 --> 00:06:14,248       [bluesy rock song plays]       112 00:06:22,548 --> 00:06:25,051      I was up all night with it.          If he could have let it go,     113 00:06:25,093 --> 00:06:26,844     then maybe I'd have been able                 to move on.             114 00:06:26,886 --> 00:06:29,389         But, no, Chuck lives            for just this kind of conflict.  115 00:06:29,430 --> 00:06:32,308          He had to remind me                 that he took from me.        116 00:06:32,350 --> 00:06:34,602     -Now it's time to take back.              -[Wags] Sure, boss.         117 00:06:34,644 --> 00:06:36,938     Let's go full Rooster Cogburn                 on his ass.             118 00:06:36,979 --> 00:06:39,607      That makes me Mattie Ross.                 Out for blood.            119 00:06:39,649 --> 00:06:41,734        Didn't realize you took            this setback so personally.     120 00:06:41,776 --> 00:06:43,903           I was brought in               to land the Olympics safely,     121 00:06:43,945 --> 00:06:45,780       not to have them blow up             like an Irish car bomb.        122 00:06:45,822 --> 00:06:47,824        Well, I could still use               your legal expertise.        123 00:06:47,865 --> 00:06:49,534               [Scooter]                  Chuck is an elected official,    124 00:06:49,575 --> 00:06:51,786       which by its very nature               makes him vulnerable.        125 00:06:51,828 --> 00:06:53,204        Sure, what are we gonna do?  126 00:06:53,246 --> 00:06:54,956           Line up and vote him out                  in two years?        127 00:07:01,879 --> 00:07:04,549      There's a much smaller vote      that can take place, and sooner.  128 00:07:04,590 --> 00:07:07,468      The rare, quick arrivederci             of New York politics.        129 00:07:10,930 --> 00:07:12,515      Chuck can be removed as AG.     130 00:07:12,557 --> 00:07:14,809     He's standing over a trapdoor                as we speak.             131 00:07:15,893 --> 00:07:17,353       How do we pull the lever?      132 00:07:17,395 --> 00:07:19,397      Get the governor on board,                  for starters.            133 00:07:19,439 --> 00:07:21,441    Then it's a two-thirds majority          of the state Senate.         134 00:07:21,482 --> 00:07:23,359         But you're up against            Chuck's entrenched interests     135 00:07:23,401 -->

00:10:33,049         because it's symbolic                  of so much more.           199 00:10:33,090 --> 00:10:34,884      Of all the different kinds           of entry denied to people       200

00:18:48,377        Or are you harassing me              just for the fun of it?       406 00:18:48,418 --> 00:18:51,088      No, I do it to get revenge         for people like a young mother    407 00:18:51,130 --> 00:18:53,799      who got locked out because            she happened to be brown       408 00:18:53,841 --> 00:18:56,218  and some Wall Street raider-type  409 00:18:56,260 -->

 the suites at Yankee Stadium,           the poker tournaments,        891 00:39:21,650 --> 00:39:23,527         everyone pitching in                  to crush a sector.          892 00:39:26,155 --> 00:39:28,032           But ask yourself,               how can they really do that     893 00:39:28,074 --> 00:39:29,700        without Bobby Axelrod?        894 00:39:29,742 --> 00:39:32,244

00:47:30,722 --> 00:47:34,309  Their fight preserved               their nation's honor.              1071 00:47:34,351 --> 00:47:36,603  This one is mine, Ira.             1072 00:47:36,645 --> 00:47:40,023         Mr. Attorney General,                   we're waiting.            1073 00:47:52,661 --> 00:47:54,663        Let's concede something              right off the top here.       1074 00:47:54,705 --> 00:47:58,584            If you do this,            you will be heroes come morning.  1075 00:47:58,625 --> 00:48:00,294        No. No doubt about it.        1076 00:48:00,335 --> 00:48:03,338       Any time a favorite loses                  in a shocker,            1077 00:48:03,380 --> 00:48:05,257           the crowd cheers.          1078 00:48:05,299 --> 00:48:07,467       And not just the punters.                 The flacks too.           1079 00:48:07,509 --> 00:48:10,012    Editorialists will salute you.    1080 00:48:10,053 --> 00:48:12,514            The front pages                       will proclaim            1081 00:48:12,556 --> 00:48:15,309      that the will of the people                was done here.            1082 00:48:17,102 --> 00:48:19,521  And you will all have a few days          of kick-ass polling,         1083 00:48:19,563 --> 00:48:23,233              telling you                 you have done good and right,    1084 00:48:23,275 --> 00:48:26,904    and taken the bold step so many       before you failed to take.      1085 00:48:26,945 --> 00:48:31,074    So, yeah, contemporary opinion         and the mood of the moment      1086 00:48:31,116 --> 00:48:34,578         will feel like helium,              lifting you to the sky.       1087 00:48:36,288 --> 00:48:40,918       But that puts me in mind            of a certain rigid airship      1088 00:48:40,959 --> 00:48:44,046        that was also the toast              of its town in its day.       1089 00:48:44,087 --> 00:48:47,090         Named for a legendary                    military man,            1090 00:48:47,132 --> 00:48:50,510            this dirigible                    was state of the art.        1091 00:48:50,552 --> 00:48:52,512            The smartest,                        most connected            1092 00:48:52,554 --> 00:48:54,848        and influential figures             in finance and government      1093 00:48:54,890 --> 00:48:57,726          elbowed each other              out of the way to get seats.     1094 00:48:57,768 --> 00:49:00,270           And, for a time,           1095 00:49:00,312 --> 00:49:02,606          it did what it was                     supposed to do.           1096 00:49:02,648 --> 00:49:04,066            In high style.            1097 00:49:04,107 --> 00:49:06,109          And was celebrated                  in much the same way         1098 00:49:06,151 --> 00:49:07,945           you all will be.           1099 00:49:09,863 --> 00:49:11,657        That military officer,        1100 00:49:11,698 --> 00:49:15,744     his name was President Field         Marshal Paul von Hindenburg.     1101 00:49:15,786 --> 00:49:19,122       But instead of that name           connoting things like honor,     1102 00:49:19,164 --> 00:49:21,208          bravery under fire,                    sophistication,           1103 00:49:21,249 --> 00:49:24,920         it now means disaster                of untold proportion.        1104 00:49:24,962 --> 00:49:28,465       And this body politic is           heading in the same direction    1105 00:49:28,507 --> 00:49:30,175       unless it reverses course                   right now.              1106 00:49:31,677 --> 00:49:32,970                 Boom!                1107 00:49:35,097 --> 00:49:37,557           Oh, the humanity.          1108 00:49:37,599 --> 00:49:39,601           Dang, he's good.           1109 00:49:41,228 --> 00:49:43,605     We're here to watch him fall,               not admire him.           1110 00:49:43,647 --> 00:49:45,983           Well, it's both.           1111 00:49:46,024 --> 00:49:47,651                [Chuck]                     If you do rethink this...      1112 00:49:48,944 --> 00:49:50,862        I will hold no grudge.        1113 00:49:50,904 --> 00:49:52,280             No ill will.             1114 00:49:52,322 --> 00:49:55,450       I understand the pressure                 you are under.            1115 00:49:55,492 --> 00:49:58,370        Every single one of you                  in this chamber           1116 00:49:58,412 --> 00:50:02,165           has been cajoled                   and enticed by a man         1117 00:50:02,207 --> 00:50:05,002         who owns more assets                     than the GDP             1118 00:50:05,043 --> 00:50:06,962           of most countries                     on the planet.            1119 00:50:08,505 --> 00:50:11,466          Cajoled and enticed                to steer things his way       1120 00:50:11,508 --> 00:50:13,010            as he sees fit.           1121 00:50:13,051 --> 00:50:15,095          Not what the voters                of New York asked for,        1122 00:50:15,137 --> 00:50:17,222          but what he wants.          1123 00:50:17,264 --> 00:50:19,766        [laughs] If that's not            the definition of corruption,    1124 00:50:19,808 --> 00:50:21,351         I don't know what is.        1125 00:50:23,145 --> 00:50:25,022      You know, what some people               call anti-business          1126 00:50:25,063 --> 00:50:27,024     is actually anti-corruption.     1127 00:50:27,065 --> 00:50:29,151        What some people claim                  is abuse of power          1128 00:50:29,192 --> 00:50:32,195      is actually holding abusers                 accountable.             1129 00:50:32,237 --> 00:50:35,157        But it's easy to forget                   one's ideals             1130 00:50:35,198 --> 00:50:39,202    when there's a pile of money or      political spoils on the table,  1131 00:50:39,244 --> 00:50:41,038      'cause we each have things                    we want,               1132 00:50:41,079 --> 00:50:42,873         and there never seems            to be enough to pay for 'em.     1133 00:50:44,750 --> 00:50:49,212     But we were elected to stand        against those corrupting forces  1134 00:50:49,254 --> 00:50:52,340       that would use that pile                 to steer us away           1135 00:50:52,382 --> 00:50:55,719           from what we know                  to be fair and just.         1136 00:50:55,761 --> 00:50:57,721    We were elected to be the voice             for the people            1137 00:50:57,763 --> 00:51:00,057  who don't have one of their own.  1138 00:51:01,558 --> 00:51:03,101     Those who have been silenced     1139 00:51:03,143 --> 00:51:06,354      when they dared speak truth               to the powerful.           1140 00:51:06,396 --> 00:51:10,317    But history hears their voices          in this chamber tonight.       1141 00:51:13,070 --> 00:51:17,199       I unconditionally reject          the charges leveled against me,  1142 00:51:17,240 --> 00:51:20,077       and have a public record          that supports what I fight for,  1143 00:51:20,118 --> 00:51:22,621     and have won, for the people             of this great state.         1144 00:51:22,662 --> 00:51:25,248        And you have a choice.        1145 00:51:26,458 --> 00:51:27,876            Fly with me...            1146 00:51:30,295 --> 00:51:35,425     or let this whole place go up       in flames like a Nazi zeppelin.  1147 00:51:40,472 --> 00:51:41,765              Thank you.              1148 00:51:41,807 --> 00:51:43,975              [applause]              1149 00:51:51,650 --> 00:51:55,403      That response?                   That never happens.                1150 00:51:55,445 --> 00:51:58,031      A great oration can change              the tides of history.        1151 00:51:58,073 --> 00:51:59,282                         We'll see.  1152 00:52:01,159 --> 00:52:04,162         Senator Darcy Phelps.        1153
