1 00:00:00,884 --> 00:00:03,012               [Rhoades]                     Previously, on   Billions...     2 00:00:03,053 --> 00:00:06,432         New York, we did it!         3 00:00:06,473 --> 00:00:08,517      Prince didn't pull this off             all by his lonesome.         4 00:00:08,559 --> 00:00:11,103         So we separate Prince                from his power base.         5 00:00:11,145 --> 00:00:13,814     Philip gets first pick. He's         outperformed everyone lately.    6 00:00:13,856 --> 00:00:15,566       I already started working                 on Hypersonic.            7 00:00:15,607 --> 00:00:17,735  I'm in the process of building      a relationship with the CEO.       8 00:00:17,776 --> 00:00:19,319       There are major problems       9 00:00:19,361 --> 00:00:21,155            with their tech                 and aviation physiology.       10 00:00:21,196 --> 00:00:23,073  There's no way to trade out         without taking a massive loss.     11 00:00:23,115 --> 00:00:24,867           What do you think             they're agreeing to right now?    12 00:00:24,908 --> 00:00:26,368  Oh, fuck.                          13 00:00:26,410 --> 00:00:27,703  [Chuck]   There is                             an item that I have         14 00:00:27,745 --> 00:00:29,038      jammed into a certain bill      15 00:00:29,079 --> 00:00:31,248      that will also be passing,      16 00:00:31,290 --> 00:00:33,834     closing the carried interest                   loophole.              17 00:00:33,876 --> 00:00:37,171  So, what do we need to do to get       the bullet out of the gun?      18 00:00:37,212 --> 00:00:38,881          Had we known, we never                would have been party        19 00:00:38,922 --> 00:00:40,507           to such malfeasance.        20 00:00:40,549 --> 00:00:43,927         These men and women were              unknowingly brought in        21 00:00:43,969 --> 00:00:47,973         to an attempt to commit            bribery at a very high level.    22 00:00:48,015 --> 00:00:50,726  -You gotta be kidding me, Mike.     -It's BS, Andy.                    23 00:00:50,768 --> 00:00:53,562  This news is our boarding pass      out of our fucked situation.       24 00:00:54,772 --> 00:00:56,065       I figured you'd need help      25 00:00:56,106 --> 00:00:57,483         unloading the shares                     at the open.             26 00:00:57,524 --> 00:00:59,068          Yes, another set of                 hands would be good.         27 00:00:59,109 --> 00:01:00,736       We can work through this.      28 00:01:00,778 --> 00:01:03,530     I'm afraid the New York Games              are tainted now.           29 00:01:03,572 --> 00:01:05,866            The ICS has come                      to the conclusion          30 00:01:05,908 --> 00:01:07,534           that the 2028 Games         31 00:01:07,576 --> 00:01:10,287          can no longer be held                   in New York City.          32 00:01:44,154 --> 00:01:47,658   An icy wind burns and scars     33 00:01:47,699 --> 00:01:51,078                Rushes in                       Like a fallen star         34 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,373         Through the narrow space               Between these bars         35 00:01:54,414 --> 00:01:59,211               Looking down                      On Prison Grove           36 00:02:14,685 --> 00:02:17,771            Dug in, hunkered down   37 00:02:17,813 --> 00:02:21,150       Hours race without a sound   38 00:02:21,191 --> 00:02:24,736                Gonna carry me                  To where I'm bound         39 00:02:24,778 --> 00:02:29,408               Looking down                      On Prison Grove           40 00:02:35,539 --> 00:02:37,166                  Two kinds of men.  41 00:02:37,207 --> 00:02:40,210         Those who, in defeat,             pretend they never cared...     42 00:02:41,253 --> 00:02:42,838       and those who come alone       43 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,425         to pack up their gear                and soak in the loss.        44 00:02:47,718 --> 00:02:50,220          I, like you, am a soaker.  45 00:02:50,262 --> 00:02:53,849             I'm no soaker.                     I'm a rebuilder.           46 00:02:54,892 --> 00:02:56,185          Pat Riley approach.         47 00:02:56,226 --> 00:02:58,770          Ah. The godfather.          48 00:02:58,812 --> 00:03:02,191      Another great sage intimate          with the subject of defeat.     49 00:03:02,232 --> 00:03:03,525  And victory.                       50 00:03:03,567 --> 00:03:05,360            Mostly victory.           51 00:03:05,402 --> 00:03:07,863     "A champion needs a motivation          above and beyond winning."  52 00:03:09,031 --> 00:03:10,282           Wiser words, huh?          53 00:03:13,535 --> 00:03:15,037          State your purpose.         54 00:03:16,580 --> 00:03:18,707  Well, in the spirit of all          this inspirational talk,           55 00:03:18,749 --> 00:03:23,545    I wonder if you'd be motivated       to unload this office building    56 00:03:23,587 --> 00:03:25,505    and some of the other property         you bought for the Olympics     57 00:03:25,547 --> 00:03:27,549        to the state land bank.       58 00:03:29,009 --> 00:03:30,302       When I was bootstrapping       59 00:03:30,344 --> 00:03:32,179           my first startup                     in the Bay Area,           60 00:03:32,221 --> 00:03:35,557  I was motivated to go down to       Geraldine's Seafood Market early  61 00:03:35,599 --> 00:03:39,061      so I could buy the freshest           catch before anyone else.      62 00:03:39,102 --> 00:03:41,897            Now, I just buy                    the fishing boats.          63 00:03:41,939 --> 00:03:43,398         Well, by cutting out                    the middleman,            64 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,234            that makes you                     the middleman, no?          65 00:03:45,275 --> 00:03:46,860     No, Chuck, it makes me rich,     66 00:03:46,902 --> 00:03:49,696    with no need to unload anything               at any time             67 00:03:49,738 --> 00:03:52,574         for anyone's reasons                  other than my own.          68 00:03:52,616 --> 00:03:55,744    It makes sense to free up acres       of land you no longer need.     69 00:03:55,786 --> 00:03:58,372    Sell it back to the land bank.        I'll offer you a fair price.     70 00:03:58,413 --> 00:04:00,415             Market rate.             71 00:04:00,457 --> 00:04:02,918     Yeah, I'm not in the business       of buying high and selling low.  72 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,671      And if I was, I don't think              you'd be the fella          73 00:04:05,712 --> 00:04:06,964      I'd want on the other side                  of that deal.            74 00:04:07,005 --> 00:04:08,548        You have to know that.        75 00:04:08,590 --> 00:04:10,425  So, what's your true reason         for being here?                    76 00:04:10,467 --> 00:04:11,927        You trying to prompt me       77 00:04:11,969 --> 00:04:14,096       into making some mistake                   out of anger?            78 00:04:14,137 --> 00:04:16,682      I think you've mistaken me       for someone looking for a fight.  79 00:04:16,723 --> 00:04:19,268          That's in the past.            I'm here to find a way forward,  80 00:04:19,309 --> 00:04:21,770        leave you with dignity                     in defeat.              81 00:04:21,812 --> 00:04:24,856       Hallmark of a guy trying           to give the other guy dignity    82 00:04:24,898 --> 00:04:26,441     is hitting the word "defeat"     83 00:04:26,483 --> 00:04:28,902      harder than Earnie Shavers               hit the heavy bag.          84 00:04:28,944 --> 00:04:31,280                 I may not be quite               as evolved              85 00:04:31,321 --> 00:04:32,906                 as I'd wish...yet.  86 00:04:32,948 --> 00:04:34,116                 I'm working on it.  87 00:04:34,157 --> 00:04:35,575  Aren't we all.                     88 00:04:35,617 --> 00:04:37,452  What, you're really here                   to end this?                 89 00:04:37,494 --> 00:04:40,580  Armistice? Ceasefire?               What are you offering?             90 00:04:40,622 --> 00:04:43,667       I guess I need to see if        I believe you are standing down.  91 00:04:43,709 --> 00:04:46,461         Do I look like a man            readying for battle right now?    92 00:04:46,503 --> 00:04:48,422                  No.                 93 00:04:48,463 --> 00:04:52,509     So like that fabled, frosty,        starlit December night in 1914,  94 00:04:52,551 --> 00:04:55,804      when a melody drifted over         the darkness of no man's land,    95 00:04:55,846 --> 00:04:57,222       British and German troops                 called a truce            96 00:04:57,264 --> 00:04:58,932        to sing holiday carols,       97 00:04:58,974 --> 00:05:01,768    lighting trees in the trenches            rather than cannons,         98 00:05:01,810 --> 00:05:04,021      a symbol of an Earth where          there could indeed be peace.     99 00:05:04,062 --> 00:05:05,772  That particular truce               didn't last very long.             100 00:05:05,814 --> 00:05:07,399                     No, it didn't.  101 00:05:07,441 --> 00:05:09,234         Walter Sinclair Smith               stopped a Mauser round,       102 00:05:09,276 --> 00:05:11,653     -and it was back to business.                  -As am I.              103 00:05:11,695 --> 00:05:13,780     The past is in my rear-view.     104 00:05:13,822 --> 00:05:17,492    I wanted the Olympics for NYC.              We didn't get it.          105 00:05:17,534 --> 00:05:19,494         But there's no reason                 to ready the nukes.         106 00:05:19,536 --> 00:05:21,663        I thrive in peacetime.        107 00:05:21,705 --> 00:05:22,998            How about you?            108 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,460       Oh, it's what I live for.      109 00:05:26,501 --> 00:05:28,295            But, of course,           110 00:05:28,337 --> 00:05:32,257         the best way to peace           is through overwhelming force.    111 00:05:36,303 --> 00:05:41,224       [bluesy rock song plays]       112 00:05:49,524 --> 00:05:52,027      I was up all night with it.          If he could have let it go,     113 00:05:52,069 --> 00:05:53,820     then maybe I'd have been able                 to move on.             114 00:05:53,862 --> 00:05:56,365         But, no, Chuck lives            for just this kind of conflict.  115 00:05:56,406 --> 00:05:59,284          He had to remind me                 that he took from me.        116 00:05:59,326 --> 00:06:01,578     -Now it's time to take back.              -[Wags] Sure, boss.         117 00:06:01,620 --> 00:06:03,914     Let's go full Rooster Cogburn                 on his ass.             118 00:06:03,955 --> 00:06:06,583      That makes me Mattie Ross.                 Out for blood.            119 00:06:06,625 --> 00:06:08,710        Didn't realize you took            this setback so personally.     120 00:06:08,752 --> 00:06:10,879           I was brought in               to land the Olympics safely,     121 00:06:10,921 --> 00:06:12,756       not to have them blow up             like an Irish car bomb.        122 00:06:12,798 --> 00:06:14,800        Well, I could still use               your legal expertise.        123 00:06:14,841 --> 00:06:16,510               [Scooter]                  Chuck is an elected official,    124 00:06:16,551 --> 00:06:18,762       which by its very nature               makes him vulnerable.        125 00:06:18,804 --> 00:06:20,180        Sure, what are we gonna do?  126 00:06:20,222 --> 00:06:21,932           Line up and vote him out                  in two years?        127 00:06:28,855 --> 00:06:31,525      There's a much smaller vote      that can take place, and sooner.  128 00:06:31,566 --> 00:06:34,444      The rare, quick arrivederci             of New York politics.        129 00:06:37,906 --> 00:06:39,491      Chuck can be removed as AG.     130 00:06:39,533 --> 00:06:41,785     He's standing over a trapdoor                as we speak.             131 00:06:42,869 --> 00:06:44,329       How do we pull the lever?      132 00:06:44,371 --> 00:06:46,373      Get the governor on board,                  for starters.            133 00:06:46,415 --> 00:06:48,417    Then it's a two-thirds majority          of the state Senate.         134 00:06:48,458 --> 00:06:50,335         But you're up against            Chuck's entrenched interests     135 00:06:50,377 -->

00:10:00,025         because it's symbolic                  of so much more.           199 00:10:00,066 --> 00:10:01,860      Of all the different kinds           of entry denied to people       200

00:18:15,353        Or are you harassing me              just for the fun of it?       406 00:18:15,394 --> 00:18:18,064      No, I do it to get revenge         for people like a young mother    407 00:18:18,106 --> 00:18:20,775      who got locked out because            she happened to be brown       408 00:18:20,817 --> 00:18:23,194  and some Wall Street raider-type  409 00:18:23,236 -->

 the suites at Yankee Stadium,           the poker tournaments,        891 00:38:48,626 --> 00:38:50,503         everyone pitching in                  to crush a sector.          892 00:38:53,131 --> 00:38:55,008           But ask yourself,               how can they really do that     893 00:38:55,050 --> 00:38:56,676        without Bobby Axelrod?        894 00:38:56,718 --> 00:38:59,220

00:46:57,698 --> 00:47:01,285  Their fight preserved               their nation's honor.              1071 00:47:01,327 --> 00:47:03,579  This one is mine, Ira.             1072 00:47:03,621 --> 00:47:06,999         Mr. Attorney General,                   we're waiting.            1073 00:47:19,637 --> 00:47:21,639        Let's concede something              right off the top here.       1074 00:47:21,681 --> 00:47:25,560            If you do this,            you will be heroes come morning.  1075 00:47:25,601 --> 00:47:27,270        No. No doubt about it.        1076 00:47:27,311 --> 00:47:30,314       Any time a favorite loses                  in a shocker,            1077 00:47:30,356 --> 00:47:32,233           the crowd cheers.          1078 00:47:32,275 --> 00:47:34,443       And not just the punters.                 The flacks too.           1079 00:47:34,485 --> 00:47:36,988    Editorialists will salute you.    1080 00:47:37,029 --> 00:47:39,490            The front pages                       will proclaim            1081 00:47:39,532 --> 00:47:42,285      that the will of the people                was done here.            1082 00:47:44,078 --> 00:47:46,497  And you will all have a few days          of kick-ass polling,         1083 00:47:46,539 --> 00:47:50,209              telling you                 you have done good and right,    1084 00:47:50,251 --> 00:47:53,880    and taken the bold step so many       before you failed to take.      1085 00:47:53,921 --> 00:47:58,050    So, yeah, contemporary opinion         and the mood of the moment      1086 00:47:58,092 --> 00:48:01,554         will feel like helium,              lifting you to the sky.       1087 00:48:03,264 --> 00:48:07,894       But that puts me in mind            of a certain rigid airship      1088 00:48:07,935 --> 00:48:11,022        that was also the toast              of its town in its day.       1089 00:48:11,063 --> 00:48:14,066         Named for a legendary                    military man,            1090 00:48:14,108 --> 00:48:17,486            this dirigible                    was state of the art.        1091 00:48:17,528 --> 00:48:19,488            The smartest,                        most connected            1092 00:48:19,530 --> 00:48:21,824        and influential figures             in finance and government      1093 00:48:21,866 --> 00:48:24,702          elbowed each other              out of the way to get seats.     1094 00:48:24,744 --> 00:48:27,246           And, for a time,           1095 00:48:27,288 --> 00:48:29,582          it did what it was                     supposed to do.           1096 00:48:29,624 --> 00:48:31,042            In high style.            1097 00:48:31,083 --> 00:48:33,085          And was celebrated                  in much the same way         1098 00:48:33,127 --> 00:48:34,921           you all will be.           1099 00:48:36,839 --> 00:48:38,633        That military officer,        1100 00:48:38,674 --> 00:48:42,720     his name was President Field         Marshal Paul von Hindenburg.     1101 00:48:42,762 --> 00:48:46,098       But instead of that name           connoting things like honor,     1102 00:48:46,140 --> 00:48:48,184          bravery under fire,                    sophistication,           1103 00:48:48,225 --> 00:48:51,896         it now means disaster                of untold proportion.        1104 00:48:51,938 --> 00:48:55,441       And this body politic is           heading in the same direction    1105 00:48:55,483 --> 00:48:57,151       unless it reverses course                   right now.              1106 00:48:58,653 --> 00:48:59,946                 Boom!                1107 00:49:02,073 --> 00:49:04,533           Oh, the humanity.          1108 00:49:04,575 --> 00:49:06,577           Dang, he's good.           1109 00:49:08,204 --> 00:49:10,581     We're here to watch him fall,               not admire him.           1110 00:49:10,623 --> 00:49:12,959           Well, it's both.           1111 00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:14,627                [Chuck]                     If you do rethink this...      1112 00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:17,838        I will hold no grudge.        1113 00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:19,256             No ill will.             1114 00:49:19,298 --> 00:49:22,426       I understand the pressure                 you are under.            1115 00:49:22,468 --> 00:49:25,346        Every single one of you                  in this chamber           1116 00:49:25,388 --> 00:49:29,141           has been cajoled                   and enticed by a man         1117 00:49:29,183 --> 00:49:31,978         who owns more assets                     than the GDP             1118 00:49:32,019 --> 00:49:33,938           of most countries                     on the planet.            1119 00:49:35,481 --> 00:49:38,442          Cajoled and enticed                to steer things his way       1120 00:49:38,484 --> 00:49:39,986            as he sees fit.           1121 00:49:40,027 --> 00:49:42,071          Not what the voters                of New York asked for,        1122 00:49:42,113 --> 00:49:44,198          but what he wants.          1123 00:49:44,240 --> 00:49:46,742        [laughs] If that's not            the definition of corruption,    1124 00:49:46,784 --> 00:49:48,327         I don't know what is.        1125 00:49:50,121 --> 00:49:51,998      You know, what some people               call anti-business          1126 00:49:52,039 --> 00:49:54,000     is actually anti-corruption.     1127 00:49:54,041 --> 00:49:56,127        What some people claim                  is abuse of power          1128 00:49:56,168 --> 00:49:59,171      is actually holding abusers                 accountable.             1129 00:49:59,213 --> 00:50:02,133        But it's easy to forget                   one's ideals             1130 00:50:02,174 --> 00:50:06,178    when there's a pile of money or      political spoils on the table,  1131 00:50:06,220 --> 00:50:08,014      'cause we each have things                    we want,               1132 00:50:08,055 --> 00:50:09,849         and there never seems            to be enough to pay for 'em.     1133 00:50:11,726 --> 00:50:16,188     But we were elected to stand        against those corrupting forces  1134 00:50:16,230 --> 00:50:19,316       that would use that pile                 to steer us away           1135 00:50:19,358 --> 00:50:22,695           from what we know                  to be fair and just.         1136 00:50:22,737 --> 00:50:24,697    We were elected to be the voice             for the people            1137 00:50:24,739 --> 00:50:27,033  who don't have one of their own.  1138 00:50:28,534 --> 00:50:30,077     Those who have been silenced     1139 00:50:30,119 --> 00:50:33,330      when they dared speak truth               to the powerful.           1140 00:50:33,372 --> 00:50:37,293    But history hears their voices          in this chamber tonight.       1141 00:50:40,046 --> 00:50:44,175       I unconditionally reject          the charges leveled against me,  1142 00:50:44,216 --> 00:50:47,053       and have a public record          that supports what I fight for,  1143 00:50:47,094 --> 00:50:49,597     and have won, for the people             of this great state.         1144 00:50:49,638 --> 00:50:52,224        And you have a choice.        1145 00:50:53,434 --> 00:50:54,852            Fly with me...            1146 00:50:57,271 --> 00:51:02,401     or let this whole place go up       in flames like a Nazi zeppelin.  1147 00:51:07,448 --> 00:51:08,741              Thank you.              1148 00:51:08,783 --> 00:51:10,951              [applause]              1149 00:51:18,626 --> 00:51:22,379      That response?                   That never happens.                1150 00:51:22,421 --> 00:51:25,007      A great oration can change              the tides of history.        1151 00:51:25,049 --> 00:51:26,258                         We'll see.  1152 00:51:28,135 --> 00:51:31,138         Senator Darcy Phelps.        1153
