 you must reward yourself                 after a victory.           151 00:06:27,818 --> 00:06:29,444            It strengthens                      the subconscious           152 00:06:29,486 --> 00:06:31,405       to lay it all on the line               in the next battle.         153 00:06:31,405 --> 00:06:34,032              Without it,                 an autonomic weakness sets in    154

 That's really more a me decision  289 00:12:23,173 --> 00:12:24,549           than a directive                     from up on high.           290 00:12:24,591 --> 00:12:26,551         There's an all-hands              tomorrow night at Prince's.     291 00:12:26,593 --> 00:12:27,802                  So, no, it's not.  292 00:12:27,844 --> 00:12:29,304                Office is to remain                    empty tomorrow     293 00:12:29,304 --> 00:12:30,764             while everyone gathers                  their thoughts.      294 00:12:30,764 --> 00:12:32,599            And the subject                   of this all-hands is?        295 00:12:32,599 --> 00:12:34,058                [Wags]                         Known upon arrival.         296 00:12:34,058

00:16:44,851 --> 00:16:46,811            -Where's it at?                       -Don't know.             408 00:16:46,853 --> 00:16:48,354  Don't know how much?               409 00:16:48,354 --> 00:16:49,605        I don't think about it.       410 00:16:49,605 --> 00:16:51,232             What the fuck                       does that mean?           411 00:16:51,232 --> 00:16:53,234        You didn't think about            how much you could have made     412 00:16:53,234 --> 00:16:55,236     with a million bucks of free        electric lightning on a drive?    413 00:16:55,236 --> 00:16:56,279               I didn't.              414 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,741       Mafee, you could have                turned that 15 times, 20.      415 00:16:59,782 --> 00:17:01,325                -Okay.                               -Okay?                416 00:17:01,367 --> 00:17:02,535       It is very much not okay.      417 00:17:02,577 --> 00:17:04,287            It is with me,                     and it's my money.          418 00:17:04,328 --> 00:17:06,247          So I left it alone.         419 00:17:07,081 --> 00:17:09,250      If I had gotten in the game          with gifted coin,               420 00:17:09,250 --> 00:17:11,085    with something that just landed               in my lap,              421 00:17:11,127 --> 00:17:12,837    I would have started obsessing,              you know me.             422 00:17:12,879 --> 00:17:15,673  I would have tried to figure out       every single possible move      423 00:17:15,673 --> 00:17:18,009          until no other move                     was possible,            424 00:17:18,051 --> 00:17:20,053     and then figure it out more.     425 00:17:20,094 --> 00:17:22,597       It would have owned me,              instead of me owning it.       426 00:17:22,638 --> 00:17:24,265     And I don't want to be owned                  like that.              427 00:17:24,307 --> 00:17:28,269          I don't understand              how that can make you happy.     428 00:17:29,395 --> 00:17:31,147       Look, I know the theory.       429 00:17:31,189 --> 00:17:34,067     It's immoral to let a sucker                keep his money.           430 00:17:34,067 --> 00:17:36,694     And the market is the sucker.    431 00:17:36,694 --> 00:17:39,655    But the whole snorting Cymbalta              and grinding,            432 00:17:39,697 --> 00:17:41,866            it just wasn't                      making me happy.           433 00:17:41,908 --> 00:17:43,785        Is it making you happy?       434 00:17:57,590 --> 00:17:59,759                    Wags said                     you'd let yourself in.  435 00:17:59,801 --> 00:18:01,094                [sighs]               436 00:18:01,094 --> 00:18:03,429      I have your self-research.      437 00:18:03,471 --> 00:18:04,806       Some campaign advice too.      438 00:18:04,847 --> 00:18:06,766             What's that?             439 00:18:06,808 --> 00:18:08,059              Don't run.              440 00:18:08,101 --> 00:18:11,896    Your life, your family's lives              will be upended,           441 00:18:11,938 --> 00:18:14,482      twisted beyond recognition.     442 00:18:15,149 --> 00:18:17,860             Win or lose,                   you'll never get it back.      443 00:18:17,860 --> 00:18:19,946            I have to run.            444 00:18:19,946 --> 00:18:21,489                 Good.                445 00:18:21,489 --> 00:18:23,825  Only kind of person who should.    446 00:18:27,245 --> 00:18:28,162               Why two?               447 00:18:28,204 --> 00:18:30,623            This is the one                      anyone can get.           448 00:18:30,665 --> 00:18:33,835      This is the one only I can.     449 00:18:35,002 --> 00:18:38,339          So, you're the one,                     aren't you...            450 00:18:39,215 --> 00:18:42,677          that helped Axelrod              beat us every single time?      451 00:18:44,887 --> 00:18:47,098         All that matters is,         452 00:18:47,140 --> 00:18:49,142         I'm on your side now.        453 00:19:12,999 --> 00:19:14,876           It's a good thing              you're in the private sector.    454 00:19:14,917 --> 00:19:16,460                At least I know                 I'm not getting rousted.  455 00:19:16,460 --> 00:19:19,130          I should roust your              paternalistic self anyway.      456 00:19:19,130 --> 00:19:20,339              Little intense, Kate.  457 00:19:20,381 --> 00:19:21,883       Notch it back                        a notch and a half or so.      458 00:19:21,924 --> 00:19:23,384      Maybe if you'd let me fail           once or twice,                  459 00:19:23,384 --> 00:19:24,802       I wouldn't have to                   bring it like this,            460 00:19:24,844 --> 00:19:26,137       but this wasn't                      your way, was it?              461 00:19:26,137 --> 00:19:27,722               Why fail when you                    don't have to?         462 00:19:27,722 --> 00:19:29,599  Well, this is about a time          where I should have,               463 00:19:29,599 --> 00:19:31,642  in boarding school.                464 00:19:32,185 --> 00:19:33,853     -You were a superstar there.                    -I was.               465 00:19:33,895 --> 00:19:36,230     And as I'm sure you remember,             I ended up engaging         466 00:19:36,230 --> 00:19:37,523    in a bit of civil disobedience    467 00:19:37,565 --> 00:19:40,193    which ended up in the storming           of the admin building.        468 00:19:40,234 --> 00:19:42,028            What I remember                  is that it was peaceful       469 00:19:42,069 --> 00:19:45,031     until you hurled a paperweight        through a pane glass window    470 00:19:45,031 --> 00:19:47,283       and the whole place went           up   Do the Right Thing   -style.    471 00:19:47,283 --> 00:19:48,784  Nothing burned.                        Nobody died.                     472 00:19:48,826 --> 00:19:51,120  And I was never embarrassed              about my part in it.           473 00:19:51,162 --> 00:19:52,288  I knew there would be                    consequences,                  474 00:19:52,288 --> 00:19:53,956  and I was willing                      to face them.                    475 00:19:53,998 --> 00:19:57,168    Well, one must be willing when     one performs civil disobedience.  476 00:19:57,168 --> 00:19:59,587                 The risk is what                   makes it hard to do.  477 00:19:59,587 --> 00:20:00,922         And you did pay the price.  478 00:20:00,963 --> 00:20:03,132            You were suspended for,                 what, two weeks?      479 00:20:03,132 --> 00:20:05,092           Yes. Yes, I was.           480 00:20:05,092 --> 00:20:06,344           And that was it.           481 00:20:06,385 --> 00:20:08,638          Which was strange,             because some of the other kids    482 00:20:08,638 --> 00:20:10,097     had notes put in their files,    483 00:20:10,139 --> 00:20:13,643  and their colleges bounced their       acceptances because of it.      484 00:20:13,684 --> 00:20:14,894            Not me, though.           485 00:20:14,936 --> 00:20:16,646       Which I thought was                  because of the ways            486 00:20:16,646 --> 00:20:18,314       that I contributed                   at school--                    487 00:20:18,356 --> 00:20:20,858  student government, sports          and theater and all of it.         488 00:20:20,858 --> 00:20:21,859                   That is why.       489 00:20:21,901 --> 00:20:25,780       You paid the headmaster's             mortgage off, in cash,        490 00:20:25,821 --> 00:20:28,199         so she wouldn't send                  a note to college,          491 00:20:28,241 --> 00:20:30,034       and they wouldn't rescind                  my admission.            492 00:20:30,076 --> 00:20:31,786               And I'd do it again.  493 00:20:33,037 --> 00:20:34,205         You were right to protest.  494 00:20:34,247 --> 00:20:36,916            And you earned your way                   into school.        495 00:20:36,916 --> 00:20:38,000                   The end.           496 00:20:38,042 --> 00:20:39,669    Folks with a much longer tenure          at the seat of power         497 00:20:39,669 --> 00:20:42,713     and influence have been doing         this stuff for generations,     498 00:20:42,713 --> 00:20:43,965          to people like us.          499 00:20:43,965 --> 00:20:45,549       Why wouldn't we safeguard      500 00:20:45,591 --> 00:20:46,884       our own forward progress?      501 00:20:46,884 --> 00:20:47,802                Yours?                502 00:20:47,802 --> 00:20:49,178      This isn't about me, Kate,      503 00:20:49,178 --> 00:20:50,388            or what I did.            504 00:20:50,388 --> 00:20:51,806            You don't care                     about any of that.          505 00:20:51,806 --> 00:20:53,140     You're distracting yourself,     506 00:20:53,140 --> 00:20:54,392     worrying about the externals,    507 00:20:54,433 --> 00:20:56,185         about all the things                 outside of yourself          508 00:20:56,185 --> 00:20:57,812     that are impacting your life.    509 00:20:57,853 --> 00:20:59,438     Grow the hell up and realize     510 00:20:59,438 --> 00:21:01,691            the only thing                   you can control is you.       511 00:21:01,732 --> 00:21:03,276                     And next time                      you surprise me,  512 00:21:03,276 --> 00:21:04,485                     bring a cake                       and some candles  513 00:21:04,485 --> 00:21:07,446       and get ready to sing me                  a goddamn song.           514 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,325            [engine starts]           515 00:21:50,072 --> 00:21:52,199           I see we're both                of the Jimmy Conway school.     516 00:21:52,199 --> 00:21:53,534                 Early to the meet.  517 00:21:53,576 --> 00:21:57,371              Yeah, well,                  me more than you, it seems.     518 00:21:58,748 --> 00:22:00,958             How goes it?             519 00:22:01,417 --> 00:22:02,960  There's a psychological term       520 00:22:03,002 --> 00:22:06,297    for thinking that once you see            someone do something,        521 00:22:06,339 --> 00:22:09,300      you can repeat the action,                    unaided.               522 00:22:09,300 --> 00:22:10,509              Dunning-Kruger, sure.  523 00:22:10,509 --> 00:22:12,345      Spyros is a walking example                    of it.                524 00:22:12,345 --> 00:22:15,264          -Except for coffee.          -Yeah. Inflated self-assessment.  525 00:22:15,306 --> 00:22:18,559              That's him,                    except with the beans.        526 00:22:19,268 --> 00:22:20,561  Wild, though.                      527 00:22:20,561 --> 00:22:22,271  Seems the less you know                how to do something,             528 00:22:22,313 --> 00:22:25,066      the more you're willing to         believe you can accomplish it.    529 00:22:25,107 --> 00:22:27,693    The flip side is that optimists      live longer than pessimists,     530 00:22:27,735 --> 00:22:30,529    and aren't as easily dissuaded            from learning things.        531 00:22:30,529 --> 00:22:33,991          At the early stages                  of learning, yeah.          532 00:22:34,700 --> 00:22:36,077  But when things get hard,          533 00:22:36,118 --> 00:22:40,206        that's when pessimists         put shoulder into sled and push,  534 00:22:40,206 --> 00:22:42,124  because to them,                   535 00:22:42,124 --> 00:22:43,125       everything is difficult.       536 00:22:43,125 --> 00:22:45,586        So exertion is the only                reasonable choice.          537 00:22:45,586 --> 00:22:47,630    Like most things, what you want        is to be able to control       538 00:22:47,671 --> 00:22:50,800    your emotional range enough to     trigger whichever is more useful  539 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,760               in the micro-moment.  540 00:22:53,594 --> 00:22:55,638  Do you do this consciously?         Did you build this consciously?    541 00:22:55,638 --> 00:22:57,723           Oh, this is fun.              Is this what we're doing here?    542 00:22:57,765 --> 00:23:00,101  Well, we're here to investigate,            that's for sure.           543 00:23:00,101 --> 00:23:01,727        Yeah, it's fun as fuck.       544 00:23:01,727 --> 00:23:06,148  Maybe almost as fun as the state       senate session was for you.     545 00:23:06,148 --> 00:23:07,441  The Albany Massacre.               546 00:23:07,483 --> 00:23:08,901    So that's why you summoned me,    547 00:23:08,943 --> 00:23:10,736             to upbraid me                    for taking out Chuck.        548 00:23:10,778 --> 00:23:12,071            No, not at all.           549 00:23:12,113 --> 00:23:16,283        But I am fascinated by           the choices you made to do it,    550 00:23:16,325 --> 00:23:19,412     how you did it, why you did,        why you did it the way you did.  551 00:23:19,412 --> 00:23:20,579       And I will need answers.       552 00:23:20,579 --> 00:23:22,289        But not for the reasons                    you think.              553 00:23:22,289 --> 00:23:23,958              Why, then?              554 00:23:25,584 --> 00:23:29,255       You asked me a while back         to do the real thing with you,    555 00:23:29,255 --> 00:23:30,548        to sharpen your blade.        556 00:23:30,589 --> 00:23:32,299  And maybe your moves                got me to the place                557 00:23:32,341 --> 00:23:34,135  where I'm ready                        to do that.                      558 00:23:34,135 --> 00:23:36,512    What's the source of the maybe?         Why isn't it a firm--?        559 00:23:36,512 --> 00:23:38,097     Because you haven't answered               my questions yet.          560 00:23:38,097 --> 00:23:41,142       -You haven't asked them.                   -Oh, well...             561 00:23:42,810 --> 00:23:43,936           as Pitbull said,           562 00:23:43,978 --> 00:23:47,064              "Get ready,                     'cause here I come."         563 00:23:51,026 --> 00:23:54,405           The immersion chamber            is my journey into isolation  564 00:23:54,405 --> 00:23:55,614              and emotional resets.  565 00:23:55,614 --> 00:23:57,366                 -Hmm.                     -A series of colored lights     566 00:23:57,408 --> 00:23:59,493      and soft but urgent sounds               will surround you.          567 00:23:59,493 --> 00:24:01,579  You don't close your eyes,         568 00:24:01,620 --> 00:24:06,000      you simply watch and let         the experience flow over you.      569 00:24:12,423 --> 00:24:13,883                -Chuck.                               -Hmm.                570 00:24:13,883 --> 00:24:16,260  I feel like a 12-year-old again,  571 00:24:16,302 --> 00:24:18,095      but before my pet dog died.     572 00:24:18,137 --> 00:24:19,805          We should put this                  in everyone's house.         573 00:24:19,847 --> 00:24:22,349     I think we'd end all strife,              wars, and conflict.         574 00:24:22,349 --> 00:24:23,684      That's what everybody says      575 00:24:23,684 --> 00:24:25,686        the first time they do                magic mushrooms too,         576 00:24:25,728 --> 00:24:29,732    but somehow the wars and strife       just seem to keep on going.     577 00:24:29,732 --> 00:24:31,817         Perhaps you'll solve                 that problem today.          578 00:24:31,817 --> 00:24:34,445         We find this process            refreshes and renews the mind.    579 00:24:34,487 --> 00:24:35,946       It's very   Altered States.      580 00:24:35,988 --> 00:24:38,365      So, uh, a naked Blair Brown     581 00:24:38,365 --> 00:24:40,659           will come save me                from my homunculus self?       582 00:24:40,659 --> 00:24:42,244                         [chuckles]  583 00:24:42,244 --> 00:24:44,872     Was that the first Chayefsky            reference around here?        584 00:24:44,872 --> 00:24:46,457  How can that be?                   585 00:24:46,457 --> 00:24:47,791     All right,                        you know what?                     586 00:24:47,791 --> 00:24:48,918  Let's just get in.                 587 00:24:48,918 --> 00:24:50,961      There's a red panic button,     588 00:24:50,961 --> 00:24:52,171         but you won't panic.         589 00:24:52,213 --> 00:24:53,797    -You'll be safe the whole time.                -Uh-huh.               590 00:24:53,797 --> 00:24:55,674    [Naomi] And I'll be monitoring               your progress.            591 00:24:55,716 --> 00:24:58,469           You're not alone,             but you're completely isolated.  592 00:24:58,469 --> 00:25:00,137           It's comforting.           593 00:25:00,179 --> 00:25:03,224      Just try and stay present.           See you on the other side.      594 00:25:15,402 --> 00:25:17,196              [chuckles]              595 00:25:34,505 --> 00:25:36,382              This isn't an intake.  596 00:25:36,423 --> 00:25:38,717        This isn't about meds.              It isn't patient/client.       597 00:25:38,759 --> 00:25:42,930          This a performance                   coaching session.           598 00:25:43,764 --> 00:25:45,724           That work for you,                  if that's my focus?         599 00:25:45,766 --> 00:25:48,936        It all works for me...                   in your hands.            600 00:25:50,729 --> 00:25:52,731             That something                      you're used to?           601 00:25:52,731 --> 00:25:54,316           Putting yourself                 in someone else's hands?       602 00:25:54,358 --> 00:25:56,944      Depends on the grip.             But, yes, I can delegate.          603 00:25:56,944 --> 00:26:01,740       I can relinquish control.         I can free myself of the yoke.    604 00:26:01,782 --> 00:26:02,741             I can trust.             605 00:26:02,741 --> 00:26:04,410          Then why didn't you                   relinquish control         606 00:26:04,451 --> 00:26:05,869     of the state senate session?     607 00:26:05,869 --> 00:26:08,789     Trust that it would get done            without your presence.        608 00:26:08,831 --> 00:26:10,332             Define "it."             609 00:26:10,374 --> 00:26:14,545           It wasn't enough                for you to take down Chuck.     610 00:26:14,545 --> 00:26:17,256        You needed to be there                    to watch it.             611 00:26:18,382 --> 00:26:20,134        Is that for vengeance?        612 00:26:20,175 --> 00:26:22,219          Certainty? Credit?                       Voyeurism?              613 00:26:22,261 --> 00:26:26,140       Ah, so this is a reaction            to what I did to your ex?      614 00:26:26,140 --> 00:26:27,099              Are you--?              615 00:26:27,141 --> 00:26:28,601     You did what had to be done,     616 00:26:28,642 --> 00:26:30,185     with an efficacy that made me               curious enough            617 00:26:30,185 --> 00:26:31,937           to want to engage                     with you here.            618 00:26:31,979 --> 00:26:33,606       That, plus the all-hands,      619 00:26:33,647 --> 00:26:35,774       tells me you are evolving      620 00:26:35,774 --> 00:26:38,277         into the next version                   of who you are.           621 00:26:38,277 --> 00:26:41,363         The question is why,                     to all of it.            622 00:26:41,405 --> 00:26:43,741         I needed to be there               to make sure it happened.      623 00:26:43,741 --> 00:26:46,076     Yeah, sure, you needed to be              behind the scenes.          624 00:26:46,118 --> 00:26:47,870             But instead,                   you let yourself be seen.      625 00:26:47,911 --> 00:26:49,413                Photographed, even.  626 00:26:49,413 --> 00:26:51,123       No one knew how powerful       627 00:26:51,165 --> 00:26:52,750           Robert Moses was                  till he was long gone.        628 00:26:52,791 --> 00:26:55,210         That was from a time             when behind-the-scenes power     629 00:26:55,210 --> 00:26:58,088  meant more than power displayed.  630 00:26:58,088 --> 00:26:59,590        That's all changed now.       631 00:26:59,590 --> 00:27:01,425        Credit must be logged.        632 00:27:01,425 --> 00:27:03,302              Yeah. Yes.              633 00:27:03,344 --> 00:27:06,722      The show of personal force           recalibrates expectations.      634 00:27:06,722 --> 00:27:10,392    Not only in the public sphere,              but here as well.          635 00:27:10,434 --> 00:27:12,645        My power in this place               was never in dispute.         636 00:27:12,686 --> 00:27:14,271         It's more than that.         637 00:27:14,313 --> 00:27:16,815        It's the one-two punch:            Albany, now the all-hands.      638 00:27:16,815 --> 00:27:18,442          Yeah, sets them up                     for a knockout.           639 00:27:18,484 --> 00:27:20,194                 -Who?                             -Everyone.              640 00:27:20,194 --> 00:27:23,364           Well, it sure got                 everyone here rattled.        641 00:27:23,364 --> 00:27:25,949     I just heard Prince is behind          Chuck Rhoades going down.      642 00:27:25,991 --> 00:27:28,369    If he could do that to Rhoades,           none of us is safe.         643 00:27:28,410 --> 00:27:30,162         You shouldn't believe                  rumors like that.          644 00:27:30,204 --> 00:27:32,498       Right. He's not the kind             of man who would--             645 00:27:32,498 --> 00:27:34,708         How would he even...?        646 00:27:35,668 --> 00:27:38,671          Fuck, you're right.         647 00:27:39,213 --> 00:27:40,631      All-hands or a coronation?      648 00:27:40,631 --> 00:27:43,842              Either way,                   executions are a-coming.       649 00:27:43,842 --> 00:27:46,553     He wasn't just there. Prince           did him, is what I heard.      650 00:27:46,595 --> 00:27:47,721           How would Prince                     have "done him"?           651 00:27:47,721 --> 00:27:49,348        It's state senate vote        652 00:27:49,348 --> 00:27:50,349       parliamentary procedure.       653 00:27:50,349 --> 00:27:51,934         Sure. And Dr. Fowler                    was a suicide.            654 00:27:51,975 --> 00:27:53,686          Anyway, we can meet              at my apartment at the open     655 00:27:53,727 --> 00:27:55,062       to organize ourselves                against whatever grilling      656 00:27:55,062 --> 00:27:56,480        he's going to give us.        657 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,608     -We were gonna watch a movie.                 -Angel Heart.            658 00:27:59,650 --> 00:28:00,943            You, too, Rian?           659 00:28:00,984 --> 00:28:03,070      I didn't mean to get sucked              into his insanity,          660 00:28:03,112 --> 00:28:04,697     but then I started watching,     661 00:28:04,697 --> 00:28:06,532           and it's so weird                     and nihilistic,           662 00:28:06,532 --> 00:28:07,950      and I think maybe perfect.      663 00:28:07,991 --> 00:28:10,035     We've just about figured out              what the fans mean.         664 00:28:10,077 --> 00:28:12,413      They seem to start spinning            at the strangest times.       665 00:28:12,413 --> 00:28:15,040          But, yes, tomorrow.                    We'll be there.           666 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:16,959       Obviously. We're working.      667 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,461           You're not a man                who does things by accident     668 00:28:19,461 --> 00:28:20,754             or who relies on fate,  669 00:28:20,796 --> 00:28:22,548        so you knew the effect              your actions would have.       670 00:28:22,589 --> 00:28:26,844     Want to tell me what you were     hoping the employees would feel?  671 00:28:28,137 --> 00:28:29,513      I was thinking about Chuck.     672 00:28:29,513 --> 00:28:34,101    I was thinking about my broader        outside agenda, about...       673 00:28:34,101 --> 00:28:35,477                      Motherfucker!  674 00:28:35,477 --> 00:28:36,854                 Whoa!

 You used everything you could              to manipulate me.          828 00:34:52,062 --> 00:34:54,773       I blame Prince,                      but I also know you knew,      829 00:34:54,773 -->
