1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,923
- Welcome to the family.
- Yeah, I'm finally in.
2
00:00:02,483 --> 00:00:04,996
- Your sister's just in for the day.
- Oh yeah?
3
00:00:04,997 --> 00:00:06,492
Just to observe.
4
00:00:07,498 --> 00:00:08,995
Rhea, we got her.
5
00:00:08,996 --> 00:00:10,077
The family trusts her.
6
00:00:10,078 --> 00:00:12,062
You get her on board, that's huge.
7
00:00:12,063 --> 00:00:13,170
I want Pierce.
8
00:00:13,171 --> 00:00:14,819
But it only works for me fast.
9
00:00:14,820 --> 00:00:16,613
On behalf of the Pierce family,
10
00:00:16,614 --> 00:00:18,883
the message would be a
typically balanced, nuanced
11
00:00:18,884 --> 00:00:22,012
and objective fuck off.
12
00:00:22,013 --> 00:00:23,670
- Shooter!
- Excuse me, excuse me!
13
00:00:23,671 --> 00:00:25,706
- What's going on?
- We just want to get you safe.
14
00:00:25,707 --> 00:00:27,308
Where's Kendall? Is he safe?
15
00:00:27,981 --> 00:00:30,239
ATN segment producer. It was a suicide.
16
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,632
We did have one thing to mention.
17
00:00:32,633 --> 00:00:35,211
Twenty-four billion dollars.
And they can trust me.
18
00:00:35,212 --> 00:00:38,304
Would it be okay for me to
maybe go to another department?
19
00:00:38,305 --> 00:00:39,997
Stop pelting me!
20
00:00:39,998 --> 00:00:41,623
Security!
21
00:00:41,624 --> 00:00:43,711
You're not building a
ride that you came up with
22
00:00:43,712 --> 00:00:45,812
on your first day of
management training, Roman.
23
00:00:45,813 --> 00:00:47,438
Technically I'm your fucking boss.
24
00:00:47,439 --> 00:00:49,698
Go to bed and masturbate
all your ideas out.
25
00:00:49,699 --> 00:00:52,331
- Maybe I will.
- You disgusting little pig.
26
00:00:52,332 --> 00:00:54,880
What the fuck is going
on between you and dad?
27
00:00:54,881 --> 00:00:57,103
- Did he make you an offer?
- It's not going to be me.
28
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:36,608
Thanks, Richard.
29
00:01:38,410 --> 00:01:40,078
Hey!
30
00:01:40,079 --> 00:01:41,401
- Hey!
- Hi!
31
00:01:41,402 --> 00:01:42,684
Hey, how are you? You made it!
32
00:01:42,685 --> 00:01:43,914
- How was London?
- Yeah.
33
00:01:43,915 --> 00:01:45,249
- Good. Yeah.
- Yeah? You okay?
34
00:01:45,250 --> 00:01:47,651
Yeah, I'm fine. Uh...
Where's... Is Ken here? Is...
35
00:01:47,652 --> 00:01:49,088
- Uh... I don't know!
- Is Rom?
36
00:01:49,089 --> 00:01:51,607
I don't know. So, are...
you okay? What did you do?
37
00:01:51,608 --> 00:01:54,091
- Who did you see?
- Uh... Yeah, it was a blur.
38
00:01:54,092 --> 00:01:55,625
- Are you okay?
- I'm okay.
39
00:01:56,694 --> 00:01:57,794
I'm just preoccupied.
40
00:01:57,795 --> 00:01:59,830
Okay. But you don't think that...
41
00:01:59,831 --> 00:02:01,499
- What?
- You don't think it could be
42
00:02:01,500 --> 00:02:02,933
- today that he...
- What?
43
00:02:02,934 --> 00:02:04,334
- ... might announce you?
- No.
44
00:02:05,337 --> 00:02:07,538
But...
45
00:02:07,539 --> 00:02:10,567
Yeah, you know, full family
briefing pre-departure
46
00:02:10,568 --> 00:02:11,742
to the Pierces', where...
47
00:02:11,743 --> 00:02:13,843
it would be smart to have
someone to announce, so...
48
00:02:13,844 --> 00:02:14,877
- Yes.
- Yeah.
49
00:02:14,878 --> 00:02:16,269
Okay. Well, why didn't you say, honey?
50
00:02:16,270 --> 00:02:18,160
Because it probably isn't,
so would you relax? It's...
51
00:02:18,161 --> 00:02:19,482
I am relaxed. I'm just excited.
52
00:02:19,483 --> 00:02:21,751
Richard! Hail, my fellow toilerman.
53
00:02:21,752 --> 00:02:23,353
I have returned from real America,
54
00:02:23,354 --> 00:02:24,987
bearing the gift of sight.
55
00:02:24,988 --> 00:02:27,147
- How was summer camp?
- Hmm? What's that?
56
00:02:27,148 --> 00:02:30,250
Didn't catch that. I've been
down in the salt mines so long
57
00:02:30,251 --> 00:02:32,019
with my fellow Johnny Lunchpails,
58
00:02:32,020 --> 00:02:33,287
I no longer speak One-Percent.
59
00:02:33,288 --> 00:02:35,456
Mm, Roman, you were
slinging candy apples,
60
00:02:35,457 --> 00:02:36,647
not digging the Panama Canal.
61
00:02:36,648 --> 00:02:39,359
I've seen the world
for how it really is, Siobhan,
62
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,985
and it has changed me.
I'm a kettle corn shoveler,
63
00:02:41,986 --> 00:02:44,587
here to show you frilly
clit-flickers the truth. Hi!
64
00:02:44,588 --> 00:02:45,722
Mm.
65
00:02:45,723 --> 00:02:47,691
Mwah! Hey, Con.
66
00:02:47,692 --> 00:02:49,793
How's the hooker with the heart of gold?
67
00:02:49,794 --> 00:02:52,328
... and, you know, I think
that could be a way in.
68
00:02:52,329 --> 00:02:56,599
Ho! Hello! Thanks, all. Um...
69
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:02,471
Cars are waiting. But
first, some announcements.
70
00:03:02,472 --> 00:03:05,041
- Frank.
- So, as you know,
71
00:03:05,042 --> 00:03:07,476
the good news is that the
Pierces are entertaining
72
00:03:07,477 --> 00:03:10,138
our offer, but, bad news,
they're inquiring about
73
00:03:10,139 --> 00:03:12,348
your moral character,
hence this weekend.
74
00:03:12,349 --> 00:03:13,962
They all wanna look us in the teeth.
75
00:03:13,963 --> 00:03:16,853
Right. They want our 24 billion,
but they also wanna be able
76
00:03:16,854 --> 00:03:19,788
to ensure the integrity
of their news outlets
77
00:03:19,789 --> 00:03:21,890
- into the future.
- And I want an onion
78
00:03:21,891 --> 00:03:23,172
to taste like a fucking peach,
79
00:03:23,173 --> 00:03:24,359
but there you go.
80
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,932
Before we waste a weekend,
can I just check
81
00:03:26,933 --> 00:03:28,731
why this time is gonna
be different, Dad?
82
00:03:28,732 --> 00:03:29,832
Lack of readership.
83
00:03:29,833 --> 00:03:32,167
PGM is getting
outflanked left and right.
84
00:03:32,168 --> 00:03:33,335
The whole edifice is crumbling.
85
00:03:33,336 --> 00:03:37,339
Oof! Well, that just
screams, "Bye, bye, bye!"
86
00:03:37,340 --> 00:03:39,307
I... I'm kidding. I get it.
87
00:03:39,308 --> 00:03:42,277
Even Nan, the queen
bee, is feeling the squeeze.
88
00:03:42,278 --> 00:03:44,613
The Pierce Family Trust has fractured.
89
00:03:44,614 --> 00:03:46,681
So, to ensure that
everything goes smoothly,
90
00:03:46,682 --> 00:03:49,484
we have prepared a few do's
and don'ts for the weekend.
91
00:03:49,485 --> 00:03:51,819
Oh, so, what, don't
shit in the soup tureen?
92
00:03:51,820 --> 00:03:55,923
Topics to stay clear of:
Ravenhead, ATN, Israel,
93
00:03:55,924 --> 00:03:58,293
Brightstar, and Cruise's rumor mill.
94
00:03:58,294 --> 00:04:01,296
- Mm.
- Steer onto gossip, investments,
95
00:04:01,297 --> 00:04:04,399
art, movies... Tittle-tattle.
Wider cultural interests.
96
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,167
Well, what if your
wider cultural interest
97
00:04:06,168 --> 00:04:08,536
is hate-jerking to Instagram?
Just asking for a friend.
98
00:04:08,537 --> 00:04:10,572
Ooh, me! She's talking about me.
99
00:04:10,573 --> 00:04:12,540
What else? Oh, two drinks maximum.
100
00:04:12,541 --> 00:04:14,208
Not big drinkers.
101
00:04:14,209 --> 00:04:17,779
That's okay. Nobody here has any
glaring substance abuse issues
102
00:04:17,780 --> 00:04:19,814
that almost brought
down the company, right?
103
00:04:19,815 --> 00:04:23,450
Tom, we may have to shake you up
a little, push you around a bit.
104
00:04:23,451 --> 00:04:24,752
- Uh-huh?
- They hate ATN,
105
00:04:24,753 --> 00:04:27,187
- they hate our papers.
- You're the strawman
106
00:04:27,188 --> 00:04:31,558
for the sins of ATN. Cane
your haunches a bit, okay?
107
00:04:31,559 --> 00:04:34,295
Okay. Uh-huh. Could we...
Could we may... perhaps...
108
00:04:34,296 --> 00:04:37,097
- put the responsibility on Syd?
- No, no, no, no.
109
00:04:37,098 --> 00:04:39,266
I know what you're
saying, but no. We, uh...
110
00:04:39,267 --> 00:04:42,303
We need to wear the hair
shirt, call you a shitbag,
111
00:04:42,304 --> 00:04:44,371
and say that we never watch. Right?
112
00:04:44,372 --> 00:04:45,669
Okay. Got it. Hair shirt.
113
00:04:45,670 --> 00:04:47,805
Rhea and I will handle the big picture.
114
00:04:47,806 --> 00:04:50,340
Uh, remind me again, does
Rhea work for the company?
115
00:04:50,341 --> 00:04:52,409
Uh, remind us, do you?
116
00:04:52,410 --> 00:04:54,478
I'm just asking if we
really wanna entrust
117
00:04:54,479 --> 00:04:57,080
the fate of our company
to another company's CEO.
118
00:04:57,081 --> 00:04:59,549
- We can trust Rhea.
- Okay. We don't know Rhea.
119
00:04:59,550 --> 00:05:02,018
- I know Rhea.
- Who the fuck is Rhea?
120
00:05:02,019 --> 00:05:04,054
- Exactly.
- Guys, what dad is saying
121
00:05:04,055 --> 00:05:06,489
is, just know your
role and execute, okay?
122
00:05:06,490 --> 00:05:07,958
Well, my worry is that Kendall
123
00:05:07,959 --> 00:05:10,393
may come across as too cool and likable.
124
00:05:10,394 --> 00:05:12,128
Thanks for all your help.
125
00:05:12,129 --> 00:05:17,367
We need this. Bagging Pierce
is the key to our proxy defense.
126
00:05:17,368 --> 00:05:23,038
And the defense is life itself.
See you at Plymouth Rock.
127
00:05:24,875 --> 00:05:27,142
- You okay?
- Yeah. An hour late,
128
00:05:27,143 --> 00:05:29,211
and make no secret where you've been.
129
00:05:29,212 --> 00:05:31,146
- Yeah, we're good.
- And, uh,
130
00:05:31,147 --> 00:05:33,683
keep clean this weekend, eh, killer?
131
00:05:33,684 --> 00:05:36,452
Richard...
132
00:05:36,453 --> 00:05:39,221
- Oh! Sorry about it. After you.
- No, please.
133
00:05:39,222 --> 00:05:42,892
- Yep. Chivalry is not...
- You know.
134
00:05:42,893 --> 00:05:47,162
- Shit before the shovel.
- Allow me to be the shit.
135
00:05:47,163 --> 00:05:49,197
- Pinkie!
- Yeah.
136
00:05:53,837 --> 00:05:55,671
Let them take care
of the bottom-feeders.
137
00:05:55,672 --> 00:05:58,940
- We work on Nan.
- Uh-huh. Okay.
138
00:05:58,941 --> 00:06:01,710
- Good cop, misogynist cop?
- Ah, well, sure.
139
00:06:01,711 --> 00:06:03,678
You know, the woman thing?
140
00:06:03,679 --> 00:06:06,548
- Yeah. Well, yeah.
- They like your politics.
141
00:06:06,549 --> 00:06:08,917
Okay. Uh-huh. Yeah.
142
00:06:08,918 --> 00:06:10,552
I know you don't like this buy.
143
00:06:10,553 --> 00:06:13,989
No, no, I... You know,
I can see the logic. Yeah.
144
00:06:13,990 --> 00:06:15,556
- I guess.
- Good, good.
145
00:06:16,345 --> 00:06:18,144
Anyway, my baby soon.
146
00:06:21,049 --> 00:06:22,115
Hmm.

But this weekend, don't mention it.

Sounds like you're back

Wow, Jesus. Check
out fucking Papa Smurf.

Well, I think we're gonna
have fun getting a look
171
00:10:16,044 --> 00:10:17,311
at all of you, won't we?
172
00:10:17,312 --> 00:10:20,982
Uh, Nan, stop blabbing
and let us at the canapés!
173
00:10:23,118 --> 00:10:26,286
Come, come homeward. Promises to keep,
174
00:10:26,287 --> 00:10:30,524
and miles to go before we sleep.
175
00:10:32,427 --> 00:10:34,761
Hello, lovely to meet you.
I've heard a lot about you.
176
00:10:34,762 --> 00:10:36,330
Connor, I'm Marnie. Very nice...
177
00:10:36,331 --> 00:10:37,564
Pleasure.
178
00:10:37,565 --> 00:10:39,266
- Welcome.
- Nice to meet you.
179
00:10:39,267 --> 00:10:40,334
Gabriel. Nice to meet you.
180
00:10:40,335 --> 00:10:41,368
Shiv.
181
00:10:41,369 --> 00:10:42,702
- Hello, Eduardo
- We've met before.
182
00:10:42,703 --> 00:10:44,770
So, how are we looking?
183
00:10:46,741 --> 00:10:48,642
Issue?
184
00:10:48,643 --> 00:10:53,246
Naomi has flown in
from Marin, which is...
185
00:10:53,914 --> 00:10:55,514
a nice surprise.
186
00:10:56,916 --> 00:10:58,751
What does that do to the math, then?
187
00:10:58,752 --> 00:11:01,454
Does she... Does she have
a share? What does it mean?
188
00:11:01,455 --> 00:11:05,224
Well, it complicates it.
189
00:11:05,225 --> 00:11:07,860
So, why wasn't I prepared for this?
190
00:11:07,861 --> 00:11:11,096
Um... Because it's not my fucking job?
191
00:11:11,097 --> 00:11:14,266
- And ask your people?
- So?
192
00:11:15,935 --> 00:11:19,238
She usually sits these things out.
193
00:11:19,239 --> 00:11:23,809
- She has major juice with Nan.
- Could we do it without Nan?
194
00:11:23,810 --> 00:11:25,944
- Marnie!
- Yes?
195
00:11:25,945 --> 00:11:28,347
Hey. You, me and a martini, now!
196
00:11:28,348 --> 00:11:29,814
Oh, yes!
197
00:12:02,415 --> 00:12:03,513
Um... Oh.
198
00:12:05,050 --> 00:12:07,118
Oh... Penis cat.
199
00:12:07,119 --> 00:12:10,088
- Mm. "This wine is triumphant"?
- _
200
00:12:10,089 --> 00:12:12,123
- Uh...
- No?
201
00:12:12,124 --> 00:12:14,992
- "Your vagina trumpets."
- Shh.
202
00:12:14,993 --> 00:12:17,729
It's, uh, "I triumph in the truth."
203
00:12:17,730 --> 00:12:22,199
Oh! Right, of course, truth.
Love it. It's the best, right?
204
00:12:23,568 --> 00:12:26,403
Truth. He seems cool.
205
00:12:26,404 --> 00:12:30,374
Everyone. I promise not to
interrupt your tipple for long,
206
00:12:30,375 --> 00:12:32,777
but I just wanted to take a brief moment
207
00:12:32,778 --> 00:12:35,679
to welcome you to our funny little house
208
00:12:35,680 --> 00:12:37,348
and to let our guests know
209
00:12:37,349 --> 00:12:41,952
that what you're drinking is
Hank Pierce's Break Bumper!
210
00:12:41,953 --> 00:12:43,554
The Break Bumper!
211
00:12:43,555 --> 00:12:46,089
The recipe is still,
and no-one believes,
212
00:12:46,090 --> 00:12:49,660
from the wallet of
Teddy Roosevelt's valet.
213
00:12:51,796 --> 00:12:53,897
- Cheers, everyone. Cheers.
- Cheers.
214
00:12:53,898 --> 00:12:54,965
Welcome.
215
00:12:54,966 --> 00:12:56,734
- Oh.
- Mm! So...
216
00:12:56,735 --> 00:13:01,238
Yeah, I'm actually getting
my second PhD right now in...
217
00:13:01,239 --> 00:13:03,307
- Oh!
- ... Africana Studies from Brown.
218
00:13:03,308 --> 00:13:05,643
Wow! So you'll be a double doctor?
219
00:13:05,644 --> 00:13:08,479
Well, the second PhD is much harder.
220
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,814
Yeah, five years is
an absolute gauntlet.
221
00:13:10,815 --> 00:13:13,016
Oh, I'm sure. But just think, yeah,
222
00:13:13,017 --> 00:13:15,104
once you're done, you won't
have to waste the twelve seconds
223
00:13:15,105 --> 00:13:16,671
it takes to look up
something on Wikipedia.
224
00:13:16,672 --> 00:13:19,641
But seriously, though,
225
00:13:19,642 --> 00:13:21,734
you know, well done.
It's quite an achievement.
226
00:13:21,735 --> 00:13:22,791
Yeah, thank you.
227
00:13:22,792 --> 00:13:24,199
- Connor Roy!
- Mm-hmm.
228
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:25,991
- Maxim Pierce.
- Hi.
229
00:13:25,992 --> 00:13:28,384
The man who would be king, hmm?
230
00:13:28,385 --> 00:13:31,987
Don Quixote of Iowa,
tilting at straw polls!
231
00:13:31,988 --> 00:13:35,124
Yep. I've got a big old tent,
and everyone's welcome.
232
00:13:35,125 --> 00:13:37,159
So, uh, are you in politics?
233
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,151
Sort of. Brookings Institute.
234
00:13:39,152 --> 00:13:43,755
Ah, Brookings! Yes, of course,
a fine, elite establishment.
235
00:13:43,756 --> 00:13:48,259
Oh, I didn't take you for a fan!
I thought you were on the whole
236
00:13:48,260 --> 00:13:51,729
"abolish the federal reserve",
"fluoride is poison",
237
00:13:51,730 --> 00:13:53,865
pissing in jars end of things.
238
00:13:53,866 --> 00:13:56,533
Uh, no, I'm actually on the
liberty and justice for all
239
00:13:56,534 --> 00:13:58,801
end of things, but
hey, different strokes!
240
00:14:01,639 --> 00:14:06,177
Mm. Here comes Ken. Spiraling down.
241
00:14:06,178 --> 00:14:10,915
Uh, Rom, you remember Naomi?
242
00:14:10,916 --> 00:14:13,470
Ah! Yeah, that's right!
From the... From the thing.
243
00:14:13,471 --> 00:14:14,894
- Yeah.
- Oh, the thing.
244
00:14:14,895 --> 00:14:16,854
Where you tried to
order my family's legacy
245
00:14:16,855 --> 00:14:18,722
over the phone, like an Uber Eats.
246
00:14:18,723 --> 00:14:20,390
- Of course.
- Burn.
247
00:14:20,391 --> 00:14:22,259
- How are you?
- That's the thing.
248
00:14:22,260 --> 00:14:25,228
Uh, you know, I'm well. I'm very well.
249
00:14:25,229 --> 00:14:27,898
I'm working real hard, you know.
250
00:14:27,899 --> 00:14:31,001
- Yeah? Hmm.
- Yeah, no. Not at all, really.
251
00:14:31,002 --> 00:14:32,302
Maybe. Who knows.
252
00:14:32,303 --> 00:14:34,570
What he meant to say is
that he's really passionate
253
00:14:34,571 --> 00:14:37,941
about maintaining the integrity
of the customer-facing brands.
254
00:14:37,942 --> 00:14:39,943
Wow.
255
00:14:39,944 --> 00:14:41,912
You have an interesting family.
256
00:14:41,913 --> 00:14:45,115
Yeah, I apologize
for the lateness of my son.
257
00:14:45,116 --> 00:14:47,683
- Oh, well.
- He's been volunteering.
258
00:14:47,684 --> 00:14:49,986
Really? That's impressive.
259
00:14:49,987 --> 00:14:52,989
He has the time, even in the
teeth of a takeover battle?
260
00:14:52,990 --> 00:14:54,556
- Well...
- He's very capable.
261
00:14:54,557 --> 00:14:56,325
A lot of bandwidth.
262
00:14:56,326 --> 00:14:59,361
Oh, it's wonderful to
have such bandwidth,
263
00:14:59,362 --> 00:15:01,630
after everything that... You know.
264
00:15:01,631 --> 00:15:03,832
Uh... No, thank you, I'm...
265
00:15:03,833 --> 00:15:05,567
Rosa! Rosa, have a drink with us.
266
00:15:05,568 --> 00:15:07,336
Oh, I have to finish the dinner, Miss.
267
00:15:07,337 --> 00:15:09,838
No, I know, but just...
just one. You can take a break,
268
00:15:09,839 --> 00:15:11,240
- can't you?
- But dinner.
269
00:15:11,241 --> 00:15:14,509
Well... All right. All right.
You never treat yourself.
270
00:15:14,510 --> 00:15:17,012
Ah. Kendall!
271
00:15:17,013 --> 00:15:22,751
Hi! You made it! Ah, we missed you, son.
272
00:15:22,752 --> 00:15:25,787
Thanks, Dad. Yeah.
I, uh... missed you too.
273
00:15:25,788 --> 00:15:29,290
Uh, are you all right
for targeting Peter?
274
00:15:29,291 --> 00:15:33,762
Uh, you know, shove a bar of
gold down his fucking throat?
275
00:15:33,763 --> 00:15:35,863
Yeah, sure. Got it. Good.
276
00:15:39,368 --> 00:15:42,804
Pardon me, um... As my family knows
277
00:15:42,805 --> 00:15:47,375
only too well, I am... I ain't
no master of the speechifying,
278
00:15:47,376 --> 00:15:51,245
but I would, uh... I would
just like to thank the Pierces
279
00:15:51,246 --> 00:15:56,184
for their hospitality. Um...
Like Romans amongst you Greeks,
280
00:15:56,185 --> 00:16:00,321
I'm sure you find us all
rather, you know, big, vulgar,
281
00:16:00,322 --> 00:16:02,289
and boisterous.
282
00:16:02,290 --> 00:16:05,425
We... We appreciate your forbearance.
283
00:16:05,426 --> 00:16:08,462
And, uh, well, you know,
as an old news man,
284
00:16:08,463 --> 00:16:12,900
I'd be remiss if I... if
I didn't commend all of you
285
00:16:12,901 --> 00:16:18,071
for your stewardship of PGM,
because wherever we are
286
00:16:18,072 --> 00:16:21,575
on the political spectrum,
we can all agree,
287
00:16:21,576 --> 00:16:23,710
for decade after decade,
288
00:16:24,513 --> 00:16:27,815
your outlets have been essential
289
00:16:27,816 --> 00:16:31,685
to the functioning
of our grand republic.
290
00:16:31,686 --> 00:16:34,954
- Long may they so remain.
- Hear, hear.
291
00:16:34,955 --> 00:16:36,523
- Hear, hear.
- Hear, hear.
292
00:16:36,524 --> 00:16:38,925
He would like to kill and shit on you!
293
00:16:40,528 --> 00:16:43,262
Wow, I like this Dad. Why
couldn't this Dad be Dad?
294
00:16:46,434 --> 00:16:48,634
Eh. You clean up nice.
295
00:16:49,370 --> 00:16:50,803
How are you?
296
00:16:50,804 --> 00:16:53,407
Uh... I'm good. Good.
297
00:16:53,408 --> 00:16:54,640
How are you really?
298
00:16:56,977 --> 00:17:00,147
Um... Uh... You know.
299
00:17:00,148 --> 00:17:04,084
Yeah, I know. I know.
It's good to see you.
300
00:17:04,085 --> 00:17:06,886
- We could use the help.
- Oh, "we"?
301
00:17:06,887 --> 00:17:10,656
Mm-hmm. You, them, us. Whatever.
302
00:17:20,034 --> 00:17:22,735
I think it's great.
Of course it's going well.
303
00:17:22,736 --> 00:17:26,072
I mean, no-one's fucked Nan
or killed her cat by accident,
304
00:17:26,073 --> 00:17:27,506
so I think we're doing pretty good.
305
00:17:27,507 --> 00:17:29,442
- Yeah, I know, I know.
- Have you seen that guy?
306
00:17:29,443 --> 00:17:30,619
Excuse me.
307
00:17:30,620 --> 00:17:33,112
What the fuck did you say to Mark?
308
00:17:33,113 --> 00:17:36,115
- Making cracks about his PhD?
- Well, it was a joke!
309
00:17:36,116 --> 00:17:37,591
- He laughed.
- Yeah, it seemed
310
00:17:37,592 --> 00:17:40,820
- he did not enjoy that.
- He's a yes, Shiv! He's solid!
311
00:17:40,821 --> 00:17:42,388
Why are you even bothering with him?
312
00:17:42,389 --> 00:17:44,823
- Have we lost sight of Maxim?
- Who's on Maxim?
313
00:17:44,824 --> 00:17:47,451
Me, and I just have to
say, if he contradicts
314
00:17:47,452 --> 00:17:49,497
any more planks in my
political philosophy,
315
00:17:49,498 --> 00:17:50,940
I'm gonna piss in his Break Bumper.
316
00:17:50,941 --> 00:17:53,231
Hey! Hey, he's leaning "no sale".
317
00:17:53,232 --> 00:17:55,601
Cut the horseshit, know your role.
318
00:17:55,602 --> 00:17:57,636
- Yeah, Pa.
- And, uh, Shiv,
319
00:17:57,637 --> 00:17:58,770
I want you on Nan.
320
00:17:58,771 --> 00:18:00,338
Okay, Dad, we don't
have to be so schematic.
321
00:18:00,339 --> 00:18:01,573
Romulus.
322
00:18:01,574 --> 00:18:03,875
When you laugh, please
do it at the same volume
323
00:18:03,876 --> 00:18:05,343
as everyone else.
324
00:18:05,344 --> 00:18:06,979
We didn't get you from a hyena farm.
325
00:18:06,980 --> 00:18:08,780
- Thanks, Pop.
- The good news is that Nan
326
00:18:08,781 --> 00:18:10,649
already seems to be spending
the money in her head,
327
00:18:10,650 --> 00:18:12,618
but she can still be
swayed by her family,
328
00:18:12,619 --> 00:18:13,885
so every cousin counts.
329
00:18:13,886 --> 00:18:15,754
Oh, I think Marnie might
be leaning "sell", so...
330
00:18:15,755 --> 00:18:19,157
Marnie isn't a problem. Now, everybody,
331
00:18:19,158 --> 00:18:22,360
stay in your lanes. Who's on Peter?
332
00:18:22,361 --> 00:18:23,595
Yeah, I got it, Dad.
333
00:18:23,596 --> 00:18:25,330
Oh, oh, you got it? I'm
so impressed. Shut up.
334
00:18:25,331 --> 00:18:26,998
Okay, a bit of Lincoln
Center chat, okay?
335
00:18:26,999 --> 00:18:28,666
He's worried that we're barbarians.
336
00:18:28,667 --> 00:18:29,934
- And Naomi.
- Yeah.
337
00:18:29,935 --> 00:18:31,136
- Hit Naomi!
- Got it.
338
00:18:31,137 --> 00:18:32,269
Okay, onwards.
339
00:18:33,372 --> 00:18:34,617
Can't stand up to Maxim?
340
00:18:34,618 --> 00:18:35,960
Tabs, you gonna help me on that?
341
00:18:35,961 --> 00:18:37,451
- He's an asshole!
- What part of your policy
342
00:18:37,452 --> 00:18:38,742
- was he "not right now"?
- No, no, no, no, no.
343
00:18:38,743 --> 00:18:40,643
No, everything. He's dismissing.
344
00:18:44,816 --> 00:18:48,786
- Well, nice work so far.
- Merci beaucoup.
345
00:18:48,787 --> 00:18:51,522
I'm very excited to be getting top marks
346
00:18:51,523 --> 00:18:53,456
along with your other pupils.
347
00:19:27,726 --> 00:19:29,359
... conservative, or are they...
348
00:19:29,360 --> 00:19:31,361
Excellent work. Thank you so much.
349
00:19:32,497 --> 00:19:34,463
Yeah. How many breakers you had?
350
00:19:37,268 --> 00:19:38,735
Whoa, whoa!
351
00:19:38,736 --> 00:19:42,104
Bravo.
352
00:19:44,609 --> 00:19:46,075
Oh, stop!
353
00:19:52,217 --> 00:19:53,349
Now...
354
00:19:54,285 --> 00:19:55,885
Grace.
355
00:19:57,322 --> 00:19:59,922
I'm afraid we've gone
so Unitarian out here
356
00:19:59,923 --> 00:20:01,824
that we've given up on poor Jesus,
357
00:20:01,825 --> 00:20:04,393
and we have started
worshipping Shakespeare!
358
00:20:06,129 --> 00:20:07,329
Your scepter.
359
00:20:11,134 --> 00:20:12,300
Hmm.
360
00:20:14,204 --> 00:20:18,608
The purest treasure...
mortal time affords
361
00:20:18,609 --> 00:20:20,508
is spotless reputation.
362
00:20:22,779 --> 00:20:26,115
That away, men are but gilded loam,
363
00:20:26,116 --> 00:20:27,616
or painted clay.
364
00:20:29,018 --> 00:20:33,455
Mine honor is my life; both grow in one.
365
00:20:33,456 --> 00:20:37,190
Take honor from me, and my life is done.
366
00:20:38,994 --> 00:20:41,161
Wow.
367
00:20:47,570 --> 00:20:49,437
Soup's on, people.
368
00:20:54,143 --> 00:20:55,542
Hey, that was awesome.
369
00:20:57,146 --> 00:21:00,314
- I'm Kendall.
- I know. Naomi.
370
00:21:00,983 --> 00:21:02,215
Yeah, I know.
371
00:21:03,118 --> 00:21:06,354
So, uh, are you, like, a...
372
00:21:06,355 --> 00:21:09,123
- an actress or like a poetess?
- Oh...
373
00:21:09,124 --> 00:21:11,659
Or something? Because
that was pretty legit.
374
00:21:11,660 --> 00:21:12,994
Oh, I, uh, volunteer
375
00:21:12,995 --> 00:21:15,462
at a drug addiction treatment
center in Mill Valley,
376
00:21:15,463 --> 00:21:18,199
and I continue my
recovery there as well.
377
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:24,071
Oh. Oh, wow. That... That's great. I...
378
00:21:24,072 --> 00:21:26,572
Yeah, I'm actually in recovery myself.
379
00:21:28,543 --> 00:21:31,712
- I know.
- Okay.
380
00:21:31,713 --> 00:21:37,084
My not-so-spotless
reputation precedes me.
381
00:21:37,085 --> 00:21:40,553
- No, I could just tell.
- Really?
382
00:21:41,723 --> 00:21:43,156
Oh, okay. Right.
383
00:21:43,157 --> 00:21:47,695
I'd like to have three novels
and a memoir going at once.
384
00:21:47,696 --> 00:21:51,432
- It's like natural selection.
- Oh, brother, I hear that.
385
00:21:51,433 --> 00:21:55,402
- Are you a reader?
- Me? Oh, big time. Yeah.
386
00:21:55,403 --> 00:21:59,373
Can you recommend anything
that Oprah isn't pushing?
387
00:21:59,374 --> 00:22:03,310
- Any new fiction?
- Right?
388
00:22:03,311 --> 00:22:07,080
Oh! Uh, yeah, sure, I can. Um...
389
00:22:07,081 --> 00:22:10,250
I rather enjoyed The Electric Circus.
390
00:22:10,251 --> 00:22:11,819
- The Electric Circus.
- Mm-hmm.
391
00:22:11,820 --> 00:22:14,488
- Who's the author?
- What was that? What?
392
00:22:14,489 --> 00:22:16,922
- Who's the author?
- Oh! Oh, gosh.
393
00:22:16,923 --> 00:22:23,563
I wanna say... Shit. Who was
it? It was, oh... Timothy Lipton.
394
00:22:23,564 --> 00:22:26,198
Uh-huh? What's it about? Rom?
395
00:22:26,199 --> 00:22:27,800
Uh, what's The Electric Circus about?
396
00:22:27,801 --> 00:22:31,270
- Uh-huh.
- It is about a young man
397
00:22:31,271 --> 00:22:32,638
making his way through the world,
398
00:22:32,639 --> 00:22:34,841
except in two different time periods.
399
00:22:34,842 --> 00:22:36,850
It kind of switches
back and forth between...
400
00:22:36,851 --> 00:22:40,279
The circus part is
a, you know, metaphor.
401
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:41,881
For what?
402
00:22:41,882 --> 00:22:44,817
For the anxiety of modern life, Siobhan.
403
00:22:44,818 --> 00:22:46,352
I'm not seeing it on Google.
404
00:22:46,353 --> 00:22:48,153
You said it's called
"The Electric Circus"?
405
00:22:48,154 --> 00:22:50,822
Yeah. I thou... I mean, shit.
Is it The Electric Circus?
406
00:22:50,823 --> 00:22:52,090
Well, I think it's called...
407
00:22:52,091 --> 00:22:53,859
That's all very
interesting, but let's just
408
00:22:53,860 --> 00:22:56,127
- agree to disagree, shall we?
- Sure!
409
00:22:56,128 --> 00:22:59,564
Well, that's just
the sort of expert analysis
410
00:22:59,565 --> 00:23:02,066
I'd expect from a deep-state
wonk with both lips
411
00:23:02,067 --> 00:23:03,968
firmly glued to the Soros teat.
412
00:23:03,969 --> 00:23:05,837
Oh, well, you can't change Washington
413
00:23:05,838 --> 00:23:07,639
without knowing Washington
414
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:08,840
I mean, can you name me
415
00:23:08,841 --> 00:23:10,575
one member of the House
Commerce Committee?
416
00:23:10,576 --> 00:23:12,200
Oh, uh, yeah, I think I know one.
417
00:23:12,201 --> 00:23:15,079
Uh, Representative
Ferdinand D. Who-Gives-A-Shit
418
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,283
from the great state
of No-One-Fucking-Cares.
419
00:23:18,284 --> 00:23:21,586
Well, I'm convinced. I
mean, clear some space
420
00:23:21,587 --> 00:23:24,088
on Mount Rushmore, folks!
421
00:23:24,089 --> 00:23:25,356
Yeah, yeah, well...
422
00:23:25,357 --> 00:23:27,157
I actually thought
you said the wrecking ball.
423
00:23:34,233 --> 00:23:36,034
I just wanted to say, I'm, uh...
424
00:23:36,035 --> 00:23:39,170
What you're doing, the
PhDs, I think it's great.
425
00:23:39,171 --> 00:23:41,672
- I'm sorry if I...
- No, no! It was a hit,
426
00:23:41,673 --> 00:23:43,741
a very palpable hit!
427
00:23:43,742 --> 00:23:45,109
I can take a joke.
428
00:23:45,110 --> 00:23:47,312
Oh, right. Because it was a joke.
429
00:23:47,313 --> 00:23:48,379
Of course.
430
00:23:48,380 --> 00:23:49,804
Are you pleased to be
out of politics, Siobhan?
431
00:23:49,805 --> 00:23:53,651
Oh, yes, I am. I'm getting over
it like a nasty stomach bug.
432
00:23:53,652 --> 00:23:55,386
- Mm-hmm.
- It can be a dirty business.
433
00:23:55,387 --> 00:23:58,688
Made dirtier by a certain
cable news behemoth.
434
00:23:58,689 --> 00:24:01,825
- Oh, come on, Rhea, let's play nice now.
- Oh?
435
00:24:01,826 --> 00:24:06,196
We can discuss the white nationalist
elephant in the room, can't we?
436
00:24:06,197 --> 00:24:08,498
Tug on its trunk a bit?
437
00:24:08,499 --> 00:24:10,968
I'm not operationally involved.
438
00:24:10,969 --> 00:24:13,703
Come on.
439
00:24:13,704 --> 00:24:16,173
No, no, no, I let my
people do their own thing.
440
00:24:16,174 --> 00:24:19,876
I mean, if you... If you
wanna talk ATN, you know,
441
00:24:19,877 --> 00:24:21,778
Tom's the barbarian.
442
00:24:21,779 --> 00:24:26,850
Hi, hello, I'm the...
right-wing ogre at your service.
443
00:24:29,820 --> 00:24:31,857
Wait, you don't even
believe your own stuff?
444
00:24:31,858 --> 00:24:35,257
Well, I've always wanted to
balance Waystar's portfolio
445
00:24:35,258 --> 00:24:36,858
with, um...
446
00:24:37,660 --> 00:24:40,429
with... voice...
447
00:24:40,430 --> 00:24:44,433
- From the left?
- Well, no. Pierce isn't...
448
00:24:44,434 --> 00:24:48,004
Your people just follow the
truth, wherever it leads, right?
449
00:24:48,005 --> 00:24:52,941
Oh, well, you know, our
people are just hacks.
450
00:24:52,942 --> 00:24:54,310
Oh!
451
00:24:54,311 --> 00:24:56,678
- But we like 'em.
- Come on!
452
00:24:56,679 --> 00:24:58,381
I mean, I guess our... our people
453
00:24:58,382 --> 00:25:00,316
try to follow the truth, too, Shiv.
454
00:25:00,317 --> 00:25:02,851
You give them what they need,
we give them what they want.
455
00:25:02,852 --> 00:25:04,520
We make a good match.
456
00:25:04,521 --> 00:25:06,488
Of course. Right. No, Dad...
457
00:25:06,489 --> 00:25:11,192
I think we, Dad, just wants
a bigger tent, a bigger pie.
458
00:25:11,193 --> 00:25:13,194
It means more profit,
459
00:25:13,195 --> 00:25:15,330
and then more investment.
460
00:25:15,331 --> 00:25:18,966
So, I suppose that just
makes me a prim little matron,
461
00:25:18,967 --> 00:25:20,968
if I object to being fumbled
462
00:25:20,969 --> 00:25:22,603
by the invisible hand of the market?
463
00:25:22,604 --> 00:25:24,372
Th... That's... No.
464
00:25:24,373 --> 00:25:25,907
That's not what I meant. I...
465
00:25:25,908 --> 00:25:29,344
Sure, a fair exchange
isn't exactly robbery,
466
00:25:29,345 --> 00:25:32,380
and money does allegedly
make the world go round, so...
467
00:25:32,381 --> 00:25:34,782
Money? Money is a social construct,
468
00:25:34,783 --> 00:25:37,585
whereas virtue, integrity,
469
00:25:37,586 --> 00:25:39,487
these things actually exist.
470
00:25:39,488 --> 00:25:41,822
Well, the... Just... Well,
because just this morning,
471
00:25:41,823 --> 00:25:44,058
I went to the store, and
I bought a pound of ham,
472
00:25:44,059 --> 00:25:45,560
and I paid for it by, you know,
473
00:25:45,561 --> 00:25:46,727
telling them I was really worried
474
00:25:46,728 --> 00:25:47,795
about the environment.
475
00:25:49,831 --> 00:25:51,866
Don't mind Tom, he
finds other people's integrity
476
00:25:51,867 --> 00:25:53,601
a personal affront, for some reason.
477
00:25:53,602 --> 00:25:56,537
Well, yes, that's...
Thank you, I'm a piece of dirt.
478
00:25:56,538 --> 00:25:58,439
Oh, yep. Yep. I'll take it.
479
00:25:58,440 --> 00:25:59,840
Right!
480
00:25:59,841 --> 00:26:04,111
Wait a minute, but Tom, Tom,
if there was an acquisition,
481
00:26:04,112 --> 00:26:05,846
then, as head of news,
482
00:26:05,847 --> 00:26:08,515
you would be the guy in charge
of our crown jewels, right?
483
00:26:08,516 --> 00:26:11,285
Oh, well, we'd have to see about that.
484
00:26:11,286 --> 00:26:13,353
Ooh! Hear that, Tom?
485
00:26:13,354 --> 00:26:15,755
Sounds dicey. Got a pitch?
486
00:26:15,756 --> 00:26:19,293
Tom, everything rests on
what you're about to say.
487
00:26:19,294 --> 00:26:21,562
Oh, lay off him!
488
00:26:21,563 --> 00:26:24,030
Oh, wait a minute,
though. I didn't hear.
489
00:26:24,031 --> 00:26:27,200
So, would he stay on
as the head of news?
490
00:26:29,770 --> 00:26:32,706
- I...
- Ooh, king of edible leaves,
491
00:26:32,707 --> 00:26:34,340
His Majesty, the spinach.
492
00:26:36,578 --> 00:26:39,546
Look, I just, uh... I think there's...
493
00:26:39,547 --> 00:26:41,515
The business, the journalistic values...
494
00:26:41,516 --> 00:26:43,713
- Mm-hmm.
- There's a lot of admirers in this family.
495
00:26:43,714 --> 00:26:44,799
That's all.
496
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:50,623
Uh, like all recent converts,
Shiv is a zealot.
497
00:26:50,624 --> 00:26:54,227
I think what we can all agree on is that
498
00:26:54,228 --> 00:26:57,930
it's great for people to
communicate, of whatever stripe.
499
00:26:57,931 --> 00:27:01,066
I think it was Thoreau
who said of the telegraph,
500
00:27:01,067 --> 00:27:04,437
"Maine may speak to Texas,
but what if they have nothing
501
00:27:04,438 --> 00:27:06,506
to say to one another?
502
00:27:06,507 --> 00:27:08,807
That should be engraved into
the bezel of every iPhone
503
00:27:08,808 --> 00:27:10,376
- in the world.
- Oh!
504
00:27:10,377 --> 00:27:13,946
- Hear, hear! The bezel.
- Have you spoken to Shirley?
505
00:27:13,947 --> 00:27:17,250
I'm so sorr... Will you excuse
us for two seconds? I'm so worried
506
00:27:17,251 --> 00:27:19,418
- about our... It's a...
- Our dog, Mondale.
507
00:27:19,419 --> 00:27:20,953
It's a dog thing. So silly. Sorry to...
508
00:27:20,954 --> 00:27:22,621
Is very ill at the moment.
509
00:27:22,622 --> 00:27:23,688
Arthritis. We think it's arthritis.
510
00:27:23,689 --> 00:27:25,057
- So sorry.
- His hips.
511
00:27:25,058 --> 00:27:26,924
Excuse us. Sorry.
512
00:27:28,294 --> 00:27:31,229
They have a dog. A dog named Mondale.
513
00:27:31,230 --> 00:27:33,132
- Oh!
- That's helpful, right?
514
00:27:33,133 --> 00:27:34,166
Yeah, it is.
515
00:27:34,167 --> 00:27:36,544
This is... This is what happens.
You get given the keys to the castle,
516
00:27:36,545 --> 00:27:38,971
and then you get paralyzed,
staring into the eyes of the cobra.
517
00:27:38,972 --> 00:27:40,572
You're riding me pretty hard in there.
518
00:27:40,573 --> 00:27:41,674
You think I should
519
00:27:41,675 --> 00:27:42,865
- fight back more?
- You know, and then,
520
00:27:42,866 --> 00:27:44,789
he smells the vacillation,
and then he's just...
521
00:27:44,790 --> 00:27:47,212
He's got you. You're done.
He's juiced another lemon.
522
00:27:47,213 --> 00:27:49,181
It would be nice if you
stopped beating up on me too.
523
00:27:49,182 --> 00:27:50,544
- What?
- Maybe you could stop
524
00:27:50,545 --> 00:27:53,118
- beating up on me too.
- What? What do...
525
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,586
That's just nothing. That's silly.
526
00:27:55,587 --> 00:27:58,122
- What... No-one cares.
- Well, technically, I care.
527
00:27:58,123 --> 00:27:59,590
- I care.
- Well, sometimes you say
528
00:27:59,591 --> 00:28:02,361
stupid things. You know, he's
got me second-guessing myself.
529
00:28:02,362 --> 00:28:04,883
I'm wavering on the best
strategy for landing a deal
530
00:28:04,884 --> 00:28:05,986
that I don't even like.
531
00:28:08,667 --> 00:28:10,768
- I really want this!
- I know.
532
00:28:10,769 --> 00:28:12,904
Really, I wanna be
sitting at that table.
533
00:28:12,905 --> 00:28:15,872
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
534
00:28:17,142 --> 00:28:18,274
Listen to me.
535
00:28:19,712 --> 00:28:21,344
You are sitting at the table.
536
00:28:22,715 --> 00:28:23,814
You are.
537
00:28:26,251 --> 00:28:27,284
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
538
00:28:27,285 --> 00:28:31,353
I'm good. Mm-hmm. Let's go.
539
00:28:34,091 --> 00:28:36,326
They're trying to adopt.
You know, the list is,
540
00:28:36,327 --> 00:28:39,562
like, insane, so I'm thinking,
like, if they can't have a baby
541
00:28:39,563 --> 00:28:43,266
in six months, I'm just gonna,
you know, offer them my womb.
542
00:28:43,267 --> 00:28:45,202
Why not? I'm young, I'm hardy.
543
00:28:45,203 --> 00:28:47,523
I have a friend who
did that. It was so great.
544
00:28:47,524 --> 00:28:50,731
- Mm.
- Uh, but if it's not too rude to ask,
545
00:28:50,732 --> 00:28:53,243
then what about you two?
546
00:28:53,244 --> 00:28:56,746
Oh, you mean us having
a baby? No, we're not planning
547
00:28:56,747 --> 00:28:57,785
- to have a baby, because...
- Oop.
548
00:28:57,786 --> 00:28:59,249
... that would require us having sex.
549
00:28:59,250 --> 00:29:01,510
- Whoa! Hey now.
- I'm so sorry.
550
00:29:01,511 --> 00:29:03,753
- I don't mean to pry.
- Oh, yes you did.
551
00:29:03,754 --> 00:29:06,055
No, no, no, no. It's
totally fine. That's just...
552
00:29:06,056 --> 00:29:09,425
That's, like, not how we
do it. It's not our thing.
553
00:29:09,426 --> 00:29:11,761
We're kind of like eunuch besties.
554
00:29:11,762 --> 00:29:13,963
- Well, I wouldn't say that.
- It works for us.
555
00:29:13,964 --> 00:29:17,400
It's a joke, obviously.
She's kidding. We're actually
556
00:29:17,401 --> 00:29:21,371
quite relentless in that
regard. Just Fuck City.
557
00:29:21,372 --> 00:29:24,574
Bingo, bango, bongo.
558
00:29:24,575 --> 00:29:27,543
Anyway, you don't have any kids, right?
559
00:29:29,813 --> 00:29:33,047
- Refreshed?
- Oh? Uh...
560
00:29:34,718 --> 00:29:37,219
Yeah. Yep, you bet.
561
00:29:37,220 --> 00:29:41,115
Marcia, so, so tell me.
You... You grew up in Beirut.
562
00:29:41,116 --> 00:29:42,324
What was that like?
563
00:29:42,325 --> 00:29:45,594
Well, she... She doesn't
really like to talk about it.
564
00:29:45,595 --> 00:29:48,864
Or you don't like to ask about it.
565
00:29:48,865 --> 00:29:53,202
Well, um... when we first
met, the first or second night,
566
00:29:53,203 --> 00:29:56,172
we stayed up all night, um...
567
00:29:56,173 --> 00:29:59,675
And she told me her whole life story.
568
00:29:59,676 --> 00:30:03,813
If I had a year, I couldn't
tell you my whole life.
569
00:30:03,814 --> 00:30:07,716
- Uh-huh. Fine.
- Interesting.
570
00:30:07,717 --> 00:30:09,785
Another glass for both of you?
571
00:30:09,786 --> 00:30:12,020
Well, now, we tend to
kind of keep it to...
572
00:30:12,021 --> 00:30:13,120
Yes, thank you.
573
00:30:14,223 --> 00:30:15,756
Excuse me?
574
00:30:15,757 --> 00:30:19,126
His cellar is all New World,
and it doesn't suit me.
575
00:30:19,895 --> 00:30:21,629
Well, why didn't you say?
576
00:30:21,630 --> 00:30:27,068
It suits you, so it can suit me.
See? I'm not a difficult person.
577
00:30:27,069 --> 00:30:29,304
- Uh-huh.
- Well, as long as
578
00:30:29,305 --> 00:30:33,241
the fat is being chewed,
I suppose I would be remiss
579
00:30:33,242 --> 00:30:34,976
not to mention that
you're being targeted
580
00:30:34,977 --> 00:30:37,345
for acquisition yourself, correct?
581
00:30:37,346 --> 00:30:39,413
Oh, oh, that. Well, that's...
582
00:30:39,414 --> 00:30:41,316
You know, that's all over.
583
00:30:41,317 --> 00:30:43,918
- Well, alas.
- Sandy's not well.
584
00:30:43,919 --> 00:30:46,253
Syphilis, if you can believe it.
585
00:30:46,254 --> 00:30:49,323
Uh. I... Yeah. I never...
586
00:30:49,324 --> 00:30:51,491
I never believed that the takeover bid
587
00:30:51,492 --> 00:30:55,762
- was real to begin with.
- Hmm. A Potemkin pillage.
588
00:30:59,433 --> 00:31:03,737
Oh, look, I have to ask.
The internal differences.
589
00:31:03,738 --> 00:31:07,440
- Have they been smoothed over?
- Oh, very much so.
590
00:31:07,441 --> 00:31:12,746
And any thought given to whom
you might hand over the keys?
591
00:31:12,747 --> 00:31:15,215
Why, Madam, that is very forward.
592
00:31:15,216 --> 00:31:16,715
And you're no fun.
593
00:31:18,186 --> 00:31:20,987
We're all friends here now, aren't we?
594
00:31:20,988 --> 00:31:23,422
Well, uh...
595
00:31:23,423 --> 00:31:26,658
Gerri is on the paperwork as a stopgap,
596
00:31:26,659 --> 00:31:29,896
but even she'd be the first
to admit that she couldn't
597
00:31:29,897 --> 00:31:31,462
really do the job.
598
00:31:32,632 --> 00:31:34,333
Well, maybe the second to admit.
599
00:31:36,503 --> 00:31:39,371
Uh... There is a name.
600
00:31:40,941 --> 00:31:45,177
But, you know, I really don't
like to deal in hypotheticals.
601
00:31:45,178 --> 00:31:48,547
Ooh. He's an enigma.
602
00:31:48,548 --> 00:31:52,350
- Well, one day.
- What a tease, folks.
603
00:31:53,787 --> 00:31:59,324
- Just whisper it in my ear.
- You know, I'll start to think
604
00:31:59,325 --> 00:32:00,825
I'm not wanted.
605
00:32:03,630 --> 00:32:05,730
Just... You can...
606
00:32:06,666 --> 00:32:08,300
Well, you know, uh...
607
00:32:08,301 --> 00:32:10,902
Oh, for fuck's sake, Dad, just
tell them it's gonna be me.
608
00:32:15,809 --> 00:32:18,509
- Is that so?
- That is so.
609
00:32:20,513 --> 00:32:24,082
- Roman, what's happening?
- Mm. My life just ended.
610
00:32:24,083 --> 00:32:27,285
It's been discussed, um,
but I don't think we're quite
611
00:32:27,286 --> 00:32:31,689
- at the point where, uh...
- No, not any time soon.
612
00:32:31,690 --> 00:32:34,359
We've, uh... We've
discussed the transition
613
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,195
- and some arrangements.
- We won't bore you.
614
00:32:37,196 --> 00:32:43,201
No! But I though we
could tell you all, though,
615
00:32:43,202 --> 00:32:44,535
as friends.
616
00:32:44,536 --> 00:32:46,804
Yeah. You know, maybe this dinner
617
00:32:46,805 --> 00:32:49,707
was a little bit premature.
Seems like you guys
618
00:32:49,708 --> 00:32:51,109
are still working some things out.
619
00:32:51,110 --> 00:32:54,579
No, no, Peter, don't worry,
this is just family hijinks,
620
00:32:54,580 --> 00:32:57,748
- as usual. We're good.
- Is that true?
621
00:32:57,749 --> 00:33:00,750
Will you stop?
622
00:33:07,892 --> 00:33:11,996
Well, anyway, I, um...
I was just thinking,
623
00:33:11,997 --> 00:33:15,632
it is such a beautiful,
clear night out. Uh...
624
00:33:15,633 --> 00:33:17,900
- Mark...
- Huh.
625
00:33:19,270 --> 00:33:24,508
- Mark?
- I said, "Huh".
626
00:33:24,509 --> 00:33:28,412
Would you like to guide us on
a little after-dinner stargaze?
627
00:33:28,413 --> 00:33:32,549
Uh, stargaze? I would love
to show you our little corner
628
00:33:32,550 --> 00:33:36,386
- of the sky.
- Marvelous.
629
00:33:36,387 --> 00:33:38,522
Boots for everyone, not to worry.
630
00:33:42,426 --> 00:33:48,497
- Mm. Did you know?
- Uh, no. No, I did not know.
631
00:34:14,124 --> 00:34:15,223
Shall we?
632
00:34:20,397 --> 00:34:25,168
Keep in mind that I got
my PhD at Columbia in '89,
633
00:34:25,169 --> 00:34:29,672
so I'm not what Whitman would
call a "learned astronomer".
634
00:34:31,275 --> 00:34:34,410
Right? No, but... So, I wish
I could show you through, uh...
635
00:34:34,411 --> 00:34:36,679
Through a telescope,
but our naked eyes...
636
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:40,583
- Having fun?
- Oh, sure.
637
00:34:40,584 --> 00:34:45,588
- I am having fun.
- Me too.
638
00:34:45,589 --> 00:34:49,491
- You too?
- Watching you people melt down
639
00:34:49,492 --> 00:34:56,363
is the most deeply satisfying
activity on planet Earth.
640
00:34:57,333 --> 00:35:00,268
Oh, yeah? Uh-huh.
641
00:35:00,269 --> 00:35:03,572
- Thank you.
- Sure. You got it.
642
00:35:03,573 --> 00:35:06,507
We, uh... We aim to please.
643
00:35:07,978 --> 00:35:10,946
No, I... feel quite redundant.
644
00:35:10,947 --> 00:35:13,148
I mean, I came here to
fuck any deal, but...
645
00:35:13,149 --> 00:35:17,585
it seems you all have just
fucked it yourselves, so...
646
00:35:25,394 --> 00:35:26,560
So...
647
00:35:29,265 --> 00:35:30,464
are you gonna ask me?
648
00:35:32,735 --> 00:35:33,867
Ask you what?
649
00:35:38,007 --> 00:35:40,208
Would you like to do some
illegal drugs with me?
650
00:35:40,209 --> 00:35:44,077
- Yes, I would.
- Good. This way.
651
00:35:48,251 --> 00:35:49,483
Okay, goodnight.
652
00:35:55,823 --> 00:35:59,092
Jeepers-fucking-creepers,
653
00:35:59,093 --> 00:36:01,562
what a shit-piñata. That was like...
654
00:36:01,563 --> 00:36:05,666
That was like the most
Roy thing I have ever seen.
655
00:36:05,667 --> 00:36:08,902
It's like I got a quart of
Roy injected into my eyeballs.
656
00:36:08,903 --> 00:36:11,472
- Is there booze?
- Are you kidding?
657
00:36:11,473 --> 00:36:14,708
No, it's just Emily Dickinson
and low-thread-count sheets.
658
00:36:14,709 --> 00:36:16,143
Shiv, what...
659
00:36:16,144 --> 00:36:18,579
What even was that?
Explain the chess move.
660
00:36:18,580 --> 00:36:21,982
I... I don't know. I just... I
just... I just fucking said it.
661
00:36:21,983 --> 00:36:25,786
- You just said it? No plan?
- No, not really. I...
662
00:36:25,787 --> 00:36:27,420
I guess I thought, you know, "Fuck him.
663
00:36:27,421 --> 00:36:29,255
Fuck him for stringing me along!"
664
00:36:29,256 --> 00:36:31,158
Just, you know, shit or get off the pot.
665
00:36:31,159 --> 00:36:33,293
Right. Right?
666
00:36:33,294 --> 00:36:36,129
But, you know, I guess I didn't
really think that so much as...
667
00:36:36,130 --> 00:36:39,432
As, you know, just...
Oh, Jesus Christ, my head.
668
00:36:39,433 --> 00:36:41,768
Because I'm not sure how
much love there is for me
669
00:36:41,769 --> 00:36:44,838
in a... as a sort of independent-of-you
670
00:36:44,839 --> 00:36:46,506
sort of person. You know?
671
00:36:46,507 --> 00:36:48,441
Yeah, my dad doesn't
really like to be pushed.
672
00:36:48,442 --> 00:36:51,044
- No.
- No, so there could be repercussions.
673
00:36:51,045 --> 00:36:53,045
- Like what?
- Yeah, like, uh...
674
00:36:54,082 --> 00:36:55,347
I don't know, just like...
675
00:36:56,851 --> 00:36:58,585
Like if, uh, I've fucked it.
676
00:36:58,586 --> 00:37:00,619
You've fucked it?
677
00:37:02,323 --> 00:37:03,388
Right.
678
00:37:08,429 --> 00:37:09,528
Right.
679
00:37:14,335 --> 00:37:15,834
I used to be a maniac.
680
00:37:18,272 --> 00:37:22,174
A beast, but... It's a different
situation for me now.
681
00:37:22,175 --> 00:37:23,842
Right.
682
00:37:26,247 --> 00:37:28,281
- You should hear yourself.
- Screw you.
683
00:37:28,282 --> 00:37:30,015
- Yeah.
- Okay?
684
00:37:30,016 --> 00:37:33,553
But there are levels.
685
00:37:33,554 --> 00:37:36,221
Sure. No, it's true. Yeah,
I mean, I was basically
686
00:37:36,222 --> 00:37:38,188
hanging by a fucking thread.
687
00:37:40,926 --> 00:37:43,695
I'm coming through, you know?
688
00:37:43,696 --> 00:37:47,197
- Like, I'm getting it together.
- Mm-hmm.
689
00:37:48,701 --> 00:37:51,001
Yeah, me too.
690
00:37:54,240 --> 00:37:56,206
I know how that sounds, but...
691
00:37:57,677 --> 00:37:58,776
... it's true.
692
00:38:03,383 --> 00:38:04,416
I can't even...
693
00:38:04,417 --> 00:38:06,251
Those stars were amazing.
694
00:38:06,252 --> 00:38:08,253
Can't even brush my fucking teeth now.
695
00:38:08,254 --> 00:38:10,188
Such a fun weekend you brought me on.
696
00:38:10,189 --> 00:38:14,692
Well. Am I stupid? Am I a
fucking idiot? Am I stupid?
697
00:38:14,693 --> 00:38:16,027
- Ro?
- Yeah.
698
00:38:16,028 --> 00:38:17,962
- I... I have a meeting on Monday.
- Uh-huh.
699
00:38:17,963 --> 00:38:20,364
You know? And so I'd just,
like... I really wanna
700
00:38:20,365 --> 00:38:22,734
deal with all your
neuroses and talk about it
701
00:38:22,735 --> 00:38:25,503
and everything, but if you're
gonna get kind of crazy...
702
00:38:25,504 --> 00:38:28,239
- Mm-hmm.
- ... I might just see if Naomi
703
00:38:28,240 --> 00:38:30,141
would let me, you
know, crash in her bed.
704
00:38:30,142 --> 00:38:33,311
- All right. Let's fuck.
- Yeah, totally.
705
00:38:33,312 --> 00:38:35,846
We do the sex so well,
so, that's a great idea.
706
00:38:35,847 --> 00:38:38,549
All right, come on. Come here,
you hot fucking piece of shit.
707
00:38:38,550 --> 00:38:41,152
Okay, okay, easy!
708
00:38:41,153 --> 00:38:43,120
- Easy there, wolfman.
- Sorry.
709
00:38:43,121 --> 00:38:44,855
- Oh, Jesus!
- That was awesome.
710
00:38:44,856 --> 00:38:48,192
- I'm so fucking good at this.
- Christ!
711
00:38:48,193 --> 00:38:49,592
- Oh!
- Sorry.
712
00:38:49,593 --> 00:38:51,233
- It just was like...
- I know.
713
00:38:51,234 --> 00:38:52,963
... really squeezing
hard with your finger.
714
00:38:52,964 --> 00:38:55,265
It was really sexy.
715
00:38:55,266 --> 00:38:57,667
Oh, how I just took you.
716
00:38:57,668 --> 00:39:01,771
That was great. Um, do you...
Do you wanna, though? Can we...
717
00:39:01,772 --> 00:39:03,240
Do you wanna?
718
00:39:03,241 --> 00:39:04,507
- Okay.
- Yeah.
719
00:39:04,508 --> 00:39:08,145
Do I want to... make love with me?
720
00:39:08,146 --> 00:39:09,812
No. Wow.
721
00:39:12,350 --> 00:39:15,651
Hey, hey. I'm not, uh...
722
00:39:16,855 --> 00:39:20,121
I'm not uninterested in solving you.
723
00:39:22,159 --> 00:39:25,995
- Yeah?
- Mm-hmm. Yes.
724
00:39:25,996 --> 00:39:28,864
Do you think there's a
way that we can, like...
725
00:39:30,568 --> 00:39:33,935
make it kinda like wrong?
726
00:39:44,948 --> 00:39:46,114
Chopper ahoy.
727
00:39:49,186 --> 00:39:51,421
Oh, shit!
728
00:39:51,422 --> 00:39:53,355
Show me what you got!
729
00:39:56,894 --> 00:39:58,995
- Okay.
- Mm!
730
00:39:58,996 --> 00:40:05,334
Altimeter is go. Wiggle...
Wiggle stick, twisty stick is go.
731
00:40:05,335 --> 00:40:06,468
- The throttle...
- Oh!
732
00:40:06,469 --> 00:40:10,339
Turbo throttles. We gotta put these on.
733
00:40:10,340 --> 00:40:13,976
Spinny-spinny, chicken Dinny!
734
00:40:13,977 --> 00:40:16,178
You don't know what you're doing!
735
00:40:16,179 --> 00:40:17,746
Holy fuck!
736
00:40:17,747 --> 00:40:19,282
- Uh...
- Wait.
737
00:40:19,283 --> 00:40:21,183
No.
738
00:40:21,184 --> 00:40:24,486
No, no! Abort!
739
00:40:24,487 --> 00:40:26,988
Turn it off, turn it off,
turn it off, turn it off.
740
00:40:26,989 --> 00:40:30,224
We're good. I'm good.
We're okay. We're okay.
741
00:40:31,193 --> 00:40:32,259
Yeah.
742
00:40:37,566 --> 00:40:42,002
We're good. That's good.
743
00:40:43,339 --> 00:40:45,173
There's just a slight technical issue
744
00:40:45,174 --> 00:40:49,044
with what I like to call the spriller.
745
00:40:49,045 --> 00:40:51,679
- The spinner?
- The spinner.
746
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,381
You're such a little
nothing, aren't you?
747
00:40:55,384 --> 00:40:57,751
Uh-huh. Maybe.
748
00:41:11,099 --> 00:41:13,100
Uh... I don't... I'm just...
I'm just gonna put the light on.
749
00:41:13,101 --> 00:41:15,169
Oh, don't... Okay, I wish
you didn't do that. That's...
750
00:41:15,170 --> 00:41:16,471
I know, I just... I'm a
person who needs, like...
751
00:41:16,472 --> 00:41:18,473
- Tabs, you're meant to be dead.
- ... visual stimulation
752
00:41:18,474 --> 00:41:19,874
- to get into it, so...
- I know, I get that, but I...
753
00:41:19,875 --> 00:41:21,793
- That will help us, I promise you.
- What about my needs? But don't...
754
00:41:21,794 --> 00:41:23,245
Sure. I thought we could
just, like, try. You could just
755
00:41:23,246 --> 00:41:25,036
- keep your eyes closed...
- Yeah, but you shouldn't be
756
00:41:25,037 --> 00:41:26,637
turned on, because
dead women aren't wet.
757
00:41:28,650 --> 00:41:30,818
- Um...
- Right, okay, um...
758
00:41:30,819 --> 00:41:33,821
- Kinda ruining the realism.
- So... Let me just...
759
00:41:33,822 --> 00:41:35,654
- Ow.
- Okay, okay.
760
00:41:37,024 --> 00:41:39,192
You want it to seem like I'm dead,
761
00:41:39,193 --> 00:41:40,961
- and you're raping me?
- I don't want to get into
762
00:41:40,962 --> 00:41:43,786
a semantic arg... Oh, my God, no.
It's just gonna be a little less
763
00:41:43,787 --> 00:41:46,666
like, "Sex, yay!"
764
00:41:48,870 --> 00:41:50,236
Yeah, I... I...
765
00:41:50,237 --> 00:41:52,572
Mm, I think maybe the morgue
is closing for the night.
766
00:41:52,573 --> 00:41:55,274
Okay. It's just, I'm... I'm
just saying, if we, like,
767
00:41:55,275 --> 00:41:58,578
politely agree on a wrong
thing, then it's no longer wrong.
768
00:41:58,579 --> 00:42:01,080
I mean, I'm... That's just
like basic boner arithmetic.
769
00:42:01,081 --> 00:42:03,550
I just... Yeah, no,
thank you for that lesson,
770
00:42:03,551 --> 00:42:07,086
Professor Can't-Fuck. I'm,
uh... I'm gonna go in here,
771
00:42:07,087 --> 00:42:10,189
and, you know, if you
hear my electric toothbrush
772
00:42:10,190 --> 00:42:12,958
for a little too long, it's
because I'm masturbating, so...
773
00:42:12,959 --> 00:42:15,460
Okay. Thank you.
774
00:42:17,731 --> 00:42:20,799
When I had my, um, big...
775
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:26,038
My... biggest crackup...
776
00:42:29,676 --> 00:42:31,109
My mom died.
777
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:40,719
And I couldn't get from
South Africa to this,
778
00:42:40,720 --> 00:42:47,726
and you people and your fucking tabloids
779
00:42:47,727 --> 00:42:53,098
just, like, all the time
pushing it and selling it,
780
00:42:53,099 --> 00:42:59,872
until I put a cherry on top and...
781
00:42:59,873 --> 00:43:06,578
... I... wrapped my fucking
Audi around a highway divider.
782
00:43:07,681 --> 00:43:13,953
So, yeah. Fuck you. Fuck your people,
783
00:43:13,954 --> 00:43:16,554
and fuck your peace pipe.
784
00:43:31,204 --> 00:43:33,138
You know what the
funny thing is, though?
785
00:43:33,139 --> 00:43:35,106
That my wrist will never fully heal?
786
00:43:36,875 --> 00:43:40,278
Or there's photos of me
caked in blood with my femur
787
00:43:40,279 --> 00:43:44,649
- poking out?
- We all have something, right?
788
00:43:44,650 --> 00:43:47,952
This deal isn't gonna change all that.
789
00:43:47,953 --> 00:43:52,124
- I mean, all I would say is...
- Oh, you've got it all sorted.
790
00:43:52,125 --> 00:43:54,125
Don't block your own escape.
791
00:43:55,494 --> 00:44:00,563
Just imagine getting
out from under all this.
792
00:44:02,033 --> 00:44:04,701
Right? You can take the money...
793
00:44:04,702 --> 00:44:06,769
and you can just get the fuck out.
794
00:44:08,473 --> 00:44:09,606
And then what?
795
00:44:11,603 --> 00:44:12,735
Then, you're free.
796
00:44:25,457 --> 00:44:26,523
Psst!
797
00:44:41,272 --> 00:44:42,572
- Hi.
- Good God.
798
00:44:42,573 --> 00:44:45,608
I was hoping we could touch
base about my entire future
799
00:44:45,609 --> 00:44:49,479
being Hindenburged. Oh, the Romanity.
800
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:52,214
Come in or fuck off. This is loitering.
801
00:44:53,785 --> 00:44:56,619
You know, I'm not available
24 hours a day like an ATM.
802
00:44:56,620 --> 00:45:00,957
- Did you know about Shiv?
- No.
803
00:45:00,958 --> 00:45:04,393
I mean, I didn't know-know, but...
804
00:45:04,394 --> 00:45:07,029
Anybody who wasn't a fucking
moron would've figured it out.
805
00:45:07,030 --> 00:45:09,198
Yeah, got it. Do you have any booze.
806
00:45:09,199 --> 00:45:10,632
Here you go.
807
00:45:10,633 --> 00:45:12,434
Thank you.
808
00:45:12,435 --> 00:45:13,802
I'm sorry.
809
00:45:15,672 --> 00:45:17,606
Thank you.
810
00:45:17,607 --> 00:45:21,242
Thanks. If you have any, uh... Mm.
811
00:45:23,747 --> 00:45:27,482
Suggestions for what I should
do for the rest of my life,
812
00:45:27,483 --> 00:45:28,851
I'm all ears.
813
00:45:28,852 --> 00:45:31,821
Well, I'm getting great reports
from the training program.
814
00:45:31,822 --> 00:45:38,393
No shit! Amazing! Yes!
Fuck yeah! Training program!
815
00:45:38,394 --> 00:45:41,571
Mm! Maybe one day, I can
be in charge of making
816
00:45:41,572 --> 00:45:43,565
the rolly-coaster go...
817
00:45:43,566 --> 00:45:45,767
Alright, drink up because,
you know, it's bedtime.
818
00:45:45,768 --> 00:45:48,168
- Let's go.
- Okay. Mm!
819
00:45:50,573 --> 00:45:55,977
Unless you wanna schedule one
of our special conference calls
820
00:45:55,978 --> 00:45:57,745
for, say, right now?
821
00:45:59,249 --> 00:46:01,081
- Excuse me?
- Hi.
822
00:46:03,152 --> 00:46:04,599
Wait, is that why you're here?
823
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:07,723
Mm-mm. No. I don't know.
Maybe. I don't know. No.
824
00:46:07,724 --> 00:46:08,856
Jesus Christ.
825
00:46:09,992 --> 00:46:11,959
Roman, this is unacceptable.
826
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:13,861
This is completely inappropriate.
827
00:46:13,862 --> 00:46:15,391
- Yeah?
- What would your family say
828
00:46:15,392 --> 00:46:16,430
if they knew you were here?
829
00:46:16,431 --> 00:46:18,899
Oh, well, my family jimmy-fuck-corn,
830
00:46:18,900 --> 00:46:21,369
- and I don't care.
- Yeah, but you do care.
831
00:46:21,370 --> 00:46:22,903
- No.
- Yeah, I know you do.
832
00:46:22,904 --> 00:46:27,007
And they would be ashamed
of you, and rightly so.
833
00:46:27,008 --> 00:46:29,443
Okay, I'm very sorry,
Gerri how are you...
834
00:46:29,444 --> 00:46:31,612
No, you don't get to speak.
835
00:46:31,613 --> 00:46:33,514
You have always been a disappointment,
836
00:46:33,515 --> 00:46:36,650
but this is just... You
have gone beyond the pale.
837
00:46:38,553 --> 00:46:40,421
- I have?
- Oh, yeah.
838
00:46:40,422 --> 00:46:41,788
You know what you are?
839
00:46:43,357 --> 00:46:45,191
What am I?
840
00:46:45,192 --> 00:46:49,628
You're a sick fuck. You're
a sick fucking animal.
841
00:46:50,931 --> 00:46:53,599
- Yeah?
- Yeah, don't look at me.
842
00:46:55,770 --> 00:46:58,136
Get in that bathroom. Now!
843
00:47:00,174 --> 00:47:01,273
Go on.
844
00:47:02,710 --> 00:47:03,910
And you will stay in there
845
00:47:03,911 --> 00:47:06,645
until you have done
something with yourself.
846
00:47:13,187 --> 00:47:14,821
You have a problem, Roman.
847
00:47:14,822 --> 00:47:17,356
A revolting problem in your head.
848
00:47:17,357 --> 00:47:20,025
This is why you'll never
be anything but a disgrace,
849
00:47:20,026 --> 00:47:23,796
a rotten little nothing.
Jesus Christ, you are
850
00:47:23,797 --> 00:47:26,164
a classic fuckup, Roman.
851
00:47:26,165 --> 00:47:28,433
What are we gonna do about you?
852
00:47:29,569 --> 00:47:31,269
What if they could see you now?
853
00:47:31,270 --> 00:47:34,772
Oh, my God.
854
00:49:04,761 --> 00:49:09,999
So did anybody... Uh, anybody get
into any fun last night, or... ?
855
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:11,534
- Um...
- Fun?
856
00:49:11,535 --> 00:49:15,138
I jerked off in Gerri's
bathroom last night.
857
00:49:15,139 --> 00:49:16,472
- Hmm.
- Yeah.
858
00:49:16,473 --> 00:49:18,207
- So classy of you.
- Morning.
859
00:49:18,208 --> 00:49:20,843
It's okay. Don't worry about
it. It was actually her idea.
860
00:49:20,844 --> 00:49:23,646
Think it really got the
old gal's juices flowing.
861
00:49:23,647 --> 00:49:26,416
Even as a joke, that is
a stomach-turning thought.
862
00:49:28,252 --> 00:49:32,555
... about the family
dynamic of, I think he
863
00:49:32,556 --> 00:49:37,159
wants to be successor.
864
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:39,594
Con. I was just getting a headcount.
865
00:49:39,595 --> 00:49:41,263
Did it blow up with Maxim?
866
00:49:41,264 --> 00:49:46,101
A little. But then we cracked
open a bottle of port...
867
00:49:46,102 --> 00:49:50,038
- and, uh, I, um... I'm not sure.
- What happened?
868
00:49:50,039 --> 00:49:54,009
Uh... I got tipsy and I offered
him the State Department?
869
00:49:54,010 --> 00:49:55,477
- Good?
- Yeah.
870
00:49:55,478 --> 00:49:56,577
Good.
871
00:50:00,316 --> 00:50:05,553
So, the family had a closed-door
meeting this morning.
872
00:50:05,554 --> 00:50:09,923
- Uh-huh. Bad or good?
- I'm sorry, but, uh...
873
00:50:09,924 --> 00:50:13,127
I'm blind on this one
too. You know, I...
874
00:50:13,128 --> 00:50:16,830
I thought you'd have more time,
and I thought I could get in
875
00:50:16,831 --> 00:50:20,334
and waggle the old screwdriver,
but, uh, she doesn't always
876
00:50:20,335 --> 00:50:22,403
listen to me.
877
00:50:22,404 --> 00:50:26,507
- So?
- But Nan would like to meet
878
00:50:26,508 --> 00:50:33,113
you, Marcia, Gerri, Shiv,
Kendall after breakfast.
879
00:50:37,185 --> 00:50:39,785
Relax. It's only life or death.
880
00:50:52,767 --> 00:50:58,037
Please, take a seat.
881
00:51:00,207 --> 00:51:01,875
Is Marcia coming?
882
00:51:01,876 --> 00:51:04,778
Uh, she's gone for a walk.
883
00:51:04,779 --> 00:51:08,381
She is a credit. A lot
of men in your station,
884
00:51:08,382 --> 00:51:12,552
they go for, uh, a certain... type.
885
00:51:14,255 --> 00:51:18,425
Anyway, we all managed
to get through an evening
886
00:51:18,426 --> 00:51:21,361
pleasantly enough. That's
not why we're here, is it?
887
00:51:21,362 --> 00:51:24,264
No, it's not.
888
00:51:24,265 --> 00:51:28,734
I have no illusions
about who Logan Roy is.
889
00:51:28,735 --> 00:51:31,571
Who his children are. I'm not an idiot.
890
00:51:31,572 --> 00:51:34,307
Well, something has to be
done. Eight straight quarters
891
00:51:34,308 --> 00:51:37,843
of losses is a hard truth,
and we can't do good news
892
00:51:37,844 --> 00:51:40,345
- without deep pockets.
- Uh-huh.
893
00:51:41,882 --> 00:51:44,917
Call me a romantic, but I happen
to believe that the presence
894
00:51:44,918 --> 00:51:48,187
of Pierce news cameras was
what stopped certain East German
895
00:51:48,188 --> 00:51:51,790
border guards from opening fire in 1989.
896
00:51:51,791 --> 00:51:54,092
We helped take down that wall.
897
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:55,859
Yes.
898
00:51:56,563 --> 00:51:58,263
Commendable.
899
00:51:58,264 --> 00:52:01,065
You may not believe that, but I do.
900
00:52:02,268 --> 00:52:04,603
Now, here we are.
901
00:52:04,604 --> 00:52:09,308
On the one hand, I do
not like you very much.
902
00:52:09,309 --> 00:52:12,444
And I do not like your politics.
903
00:52:12,445 --> 00:52:16,448
On the other hand, I had
a conversation this morning
904
00:52:16,449 --> 00:52:20,785
with my cousin Naomi, and
she believes that a sale
905
00:52:20,786 --> 00:52:25,222
is the only way to ensure
that Pierce Media can flourish.
906
00:52:26,925 --> 00:52:29,092
And that may be where we are.
907
00:52:31,997 --> 00:52:33,998
Rhea, what do you think?
908
00:52:33,999 --> 00:52:38,502
I think... I think we're worth more.
909
00:52:39,871 --> 00:52:41,439
We have made a very generous offer
910
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:43,407
in terms of market valuations.
911
00:52:43,408 --> 00:52:46,177
- Nevertheless.
- I don't like to be squeezed.
912
00:52:46,178 --> 00:52:49,112
- I thought we had a number.
- Uh-huh.
913
00:52:51,583 --> 00:52:55,285
Yeah. And, uh, I mean...
914
00:52:57,022 --> 00:52:58,121
Hmm.
915
00:53:00,024 --> 00:53:01,857
I could go to 25.
916
00:53:02,793 --> 00:53:04,793
But it would have to be fast.
917
00:53:06,531 --> 00:53:10,167
Then, in that case...
with a certain heaviness
918
00:53:10,168 --> 00:53:13,803
of heart, if I honestly had
to say, from the family's
919
00:53:13,804 --> 00:53:15,171
point of view...
920
00:53:18,809 --> 00:53:19,875
yes.
921
00:53:23,381 --> 00:53:29,386
Very well. If we can clear
up our ethical concerns,
922
00:53:29,387 --> 00:53:31,220
I think we can talk.
923
00:53:31,221 --> 00:53:33,856
We would like to
retain some board seats,
924
00:53:33,857 --> 00:53:38,061
and get ironclad editorial
protections in place.
925
00:53:38,062 --> 00:53:40,697
I think that could be hammered out.
926
00:53:40,698 --> 00:53:43,532
- Also.
- Also.
927
00:53:43,533 --> 00:53:46,703
I think we would also
like to have a conversation
928
00:53:46,704 --> 00:53:48,637
about management.
929
00:53:48,638 --> 00:53:51,640
- Uh-huh.
- I won't have that man
930
00:53:51,641 --> 00:53:55,578
overseeing our news. I'm
sorry. It's just not tenable.
931
00:53:55,579 --> 00:53:57,646
That won't be a problem.
932
00:53:57,647 --> 00:54:03,285
More important, we would
like you to publicly announce
933
00:54:03,286 --> 00:54:04,419
a successor.
934
00:54:05,689 --> 00:54:06,988
Mm-hmm.
935
00:54:06,989 --> 00:54:10,391
And we would like the
person you publicly announce
936
00:54:10,392 --> 00:54:12,559
to be Siobhan Roy.
937
00:54:15,098 --> 00:54:16,396
Well...
938
00:54:17,834 --> 00:54:20,400
that's not quite how I do things.
939
00:54:21,637 --> 00:54:25,640
Well, it will have to
be, or there's no deal.
940
00:54:25,641 --> 00:54:28,610
We want to announce the sale
and Shiv at the same time,
941
00:54:28,611 --> 00:54:31,412
because, frankly, she may be
one of you, but she's young,
942
00:54:31,413 --> 00:54:35,550
she's a woman, and her politics
fit better with the core values
943
00:54:35,551 --> 00:54:39,552
of our family business. So...
944
00:54:41,623 --> 00:54:43,123
that's the offer.
945
00:54:44,559 --> 00:54:48,928
Well, to be fair, you
don't have an offer.
946
00:54:50,565 --> 00:54:52,332
I have an offer.
947
00:54:52,333 --> 00:54:55,434
And if I announce my daughter,
948
00:54:56,972 --> 00:55:02,109
my daughter will be
announced on my time.
949
00:55:02,110 --> 00:55:05,746
Okay. Let me explain something.
950
00:55:05,747 --> 00:55:09,216
- Oh, please.
- You can't put a value
951
00:55:09,217 --> 00:55:10,583
on what we do.
952
00:55:11,820 --> 00:55:15,522
Funny. I have put a
value on what you do.
953
00:55:15,523 --> 00:55:22,495
Well, if you won't budge, then
I'm afraid we have no deal.
954
00:55:33,941 --> 00:55:35,073
Then we're done.
955
00:55:44,952 --> 00:55:46,018
Uh...
956
00:55:47,087 --> 00:55:48,188
Would you like to hear
957
00:55:48,189 --> 00:55:50,455
my favorite passage from Shakespeare?
958
00:55:53,227 --> 00:55:55,327
Take the fucking money.
959
00:56:51,518 --> 00:56:53,150
What a weird family.
960
00:57:04,063 --> 00:57:05,829
So, you wanna talk about it?
961
00:57:07,267 --> 00:57:11,835
- You wanna say something, fine.
- Uh... What happened?
962
00:57:13,839 --> 00:57:16,607
Uh...
963
00:57:19,445 --> 00:57:22,446
Hmm.
964
00:57:30,856 --> 00:57:33,391
Jesus Christ, Dad!
965
00:57:33,392 --> 00:57:35,660
- What?
- It's dangerous!
966
00:57:35,661 --> 00:57:38,962
- We good?
- Drive your fucking whirly-bird!
967
00:57:57,182 --> 00:57:59,916
Yeah? Yeah.
968
00:58:01,719 --> 00:58:02,785
Uh-huh.
969
00:58:04,957 --> 00:58:08,892
Uh-huh.
970
00:58:08,893 --> 00:58:12,396
That's god-damn fucking right!
971
00:58:12,397 --> 00:58:15,833
- Should we go?
- Yeah. He won't talk.
972
00:58:15,834 --> 00:58:18,336
Let's have one more and
we'll get out of here.
973
00:58:18,337 --> 00:58:22,773
Hey, Richard. Ah! Oh, my God!
974
00:58:22,774 --> 00:58:28,345
You guys! You g... You did it!
That... Yeah, congratulations!
975
00:58:29,481 --> 00:58:30,881
- Hey.
- Hey.
976
00:58:30,882 --> 00:58:32,215
- Yeah!
- Hello, Greg.
977
00:58:32,216 --> 00:58:37,120
Um, actually going by
Gregory, now, but, uh... yeah.
978
00:58:37,121 --> 00:58:40,858
No matter. Uh, thank you, Richard.
979
00:58:40,859 --> 00:58:43,259
- Wow. How are you, Marcia?
- Good, thanks.
980
00:58:43,260 --> 00:58:47,531
Good. And how... How was it?
How wa... Was it awesome, or... ?
981
00:58:47,532 --> 00:58:49,265
Uh... Yeah, it was eventful.
982
00:58:49,266 --> 00:58:51,502
Yeah, it was good. It was good.
983
00:58:51,503 --> 00:58:52,970
Nice of you to come by, man.
984
00:58:52,971 --> 00:58:57,374
No worries. This is huge for us! Um...
985
00:58:57,375 --> 00:59:00,677
And this, like, saves us,
maybe, from the takeover.
986
00:59:00,678 --> 00:59:03,480
- Greg!
- Hey! Gregory!
987
00:59:03,481 --> 00:59:07,683
Have a drink, have a drink,
you beautiful Ichabod Crane!
988
00:59:07,684 --> 00:59:11,388
- Fuck you!
- Yeah! Oh, wow.
989
00:59:11,389 --> 00:59:14,657
Well, I j... I gotta
say, well done. You won.
990
00:59:14,658 --> 00:59:19,461
Yeah. Yeah. Money wins.
991
00:59:21,798 --> 00:59:24,434
- Here's to us.
- To us.
992
00:59:24,435 --> 00:59:26,135
- To us.
- To us.
993
01:00:42,868 --> 01:00:50,868
- Synced and corrected by Firefly -
- www.MY-SUBS.com -
994
01:01:01,694 --> 01:01:04,020
Hey, nice vest, Wamsgans.
995
01:01:04,021 --> 01:01:05,298
It's so puffy.
996
01:01:05,299 --> 01:01:08,400
What's it stuffed with,
your hopes and dreams?
997
01:01:09,457 --> 01:01:11,548
There's a potential crisis coming.
998
01:01:11,549 --> 01:01:13,473
There's a journalist
looking into cruises,
999
01:01:13,474 --> 01:01:15,408
and there's a big piece coming.
1000
01:01:15,409 --> 01:01:18,668
Let's finish the job before this breaks.
1001
01:01:18,669 --> 01:01:21,660
How long do we have,
hours, maybe minutes?
1002
01:01:21,661 --> 01:01:23,649
Can you persuade her
1003
01:01:23,650 --> 01:01:25,874
to ink it here tomorrow?
1004
01:01:25,875 --> 01:01:29,655
If Nan gets cold feet
and you can't buy us,
1005
01:01:29,656 --> 01:01:31,408
your dad could lose control.
1006
01:01:36,339 --> 01:01:38,028
Hello, hello!
1007
01:01:38,029 --> 01:01:41,409
Bagging Pierce is the
key to our proxy defense,
1008
01:01:41,410 --> 01:01:44,059
and the defense is life itself.
1009
01:01:44,060 --> 01:01:45,576
See you at Plymouth Rock.
1010
01:01:47,060 --> 01:01:49,576
In episode five, when
they visited Pierce,
1011
01:01:49,577 --> 01:01:51,339
is... an interesting thing to me is that
1012
01:01:51,340 --> 01:01:53,368
the Roys are somewhat outsiders, right?
1013
01:01:53,369 --> 01:01:55,943
Logan Roy is Scottish and Canadian,
1014
01:01:55,944 --> 01:01:59,242
and his family are
one part of the media.
1015
01:01:59,243 --> 01:02:02,844
And I guess the Pierce's
represent the Peabody,
1016
01:02:02,845 --> 01:02:03,910
Boston Brahmin,
1017
01:02:03,911 --> 01:02:05,785
the longer heritage in the business.
1018
01:02:05,786 --> 01:02:08,359
Welcome to Turnhaven,
our city on the hill.
1019
01:02:08,360 --> 01:02:10,384
That clash of cultures appealed to us.
1020
01:02:10,385 --> 01:02:13,385
And Logan wants their
respect and he also wants,
1021
01:02:13,386 --> 01:02:15,034
at some level, to destroy them.
1022
01:02:15,035 --> 01:02:16,883
I suppose you've been
waiting for this moment
1023
01:02:16,884 --> 01:02:19,258
for quite a while,
haven't you, greedy guts?
1024
01:02:20,060 --> 01:02:21,844
Cherry was fantastic to work with.
1025
01:02:21,845 --> 01:02:25,201
She's obviously something of
a legend of stage and screen.
1026
01:02:25,202 --> 01:02:27,368
She had that formidable quality,
1027
01:02:27,369 --> 01:02:30,448
and she let's the ludicrous,
you know, sort of life,
1028
01:02:30,449 --> 01:02:31,848
happen around her in a good way.
1029
01:02:31,849 --> 01:02:33,765
- Cheers, everyone.
- Cheers!
1030
01:02:36,118 --> 01:02:37,726
In that dinner party scene,
1031
01:02:37,727 --> 01:02:41,159
the tough thing for Shiv is...
1032
01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:45,992
she has always been able to see
how expectations and pressures
1033
01:02:45,993 --> 01:02:49,544
on her siblings have kind
of bent them out of shape.
1034
01:02:49,545 --> 01:02:53,545
Any thought given to whom
you might handover the keys?
1035
01:02:54,285 --> 01:02:56,309
Why madam, that is very forward.
1036
01:02:56,310 --> 01:02:57,910
And you're no fun.
1037
01:02:57,911 --> 01:03:00,291
It's easy to see that
happening to other people,
1038
01:03:00,292 --> 01:03:02,076
but when you're the one
under the microscope,
1039
01:03:02,077 --> 01:03:06,767
you can find yourself behaving
in ways... irrationally, unsmart.
1040
01:03:06,768 --> 01:03:09,310
Oh, for fuck's sake, Dad. Just
tell them it's gonna be me.
1041
01:03:09,869 --> 01:03:11,368
There's lot's of times
in life, aren't there,
1042
01:03:11,369 --> 01:03:14,226
when it's easy to be the
one watching and saying,
1043
01:03:14,227 --> 01:03:15,910
"That's foolish."
1044
01:03:15,911 --> 01:03:17,926
But when you're suddenly
under the spotlight,
1045
01:03:17,927 --> 01:03:20,534
you find yourself
making unwise decisions.
1046
01:03:20,535 --> 01:03:22,368
My dad doesn't really like to be pushed.
1047
01:03:22,369 --> 01:03:24,202
Also, there could be repercussions.
