Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,625 --> 00:00:03,461
Previously on Billions.
2
00:00:05,942 --> 00:00:07,757
Axe swallowed it.
3
00:00:07,799 --> 00:00:09,300
He actually closed on that money.
4
00:00:09,342 --> 00:00:10,343
Where does that leave us?
5
00:00:10,385 --> 00:00:12,929
It leaves you head down,
eyes forward doing good work,
6
00:00:12,930 --> 00:00:15,015
earning returns for the firm.
7
00:00:16,016 --> 00:00:18,143
Pull him out of there!
8
00:00:22,772 --> 00:00:24,992
I'll give you two
billion walk away money
9
00:00:25,027 --> 00:00:28,069
for Axe Holding, the bank,
and the asset management arm.
10
00:00:28,070 --> 00:00:29,654
I hope when this all calms down
11
00:00:29,696 --> 00:00:31,114
and you really look at it and me,
12
00:00:31,115 --> 00:00:32,866
that you won't even want to leave.
13
00:00:32,907 --> 00:00:36,786
But the thing of it is we can't,
even if we want to, right?
14
00:00:36,787 --> 00:00:39,456
Anyone who wants to get wealthy,
15
00:00:39,457 --> 00:00:41,332
rich in your language, can stay,
16
00:00:41,374 --> 00:00:44,753
and we can discuss your place
in the new organization.
17
00:00:44,794 --> 00:00:47,005
- I'm out.
- Yeah. This place...
18
00:00:47,047 --> 00:00:49,299
I'm out of here too.
19
00:00:49,340 --> 00:00:50,633
Run.
20
00:00:51,980 --> 00:00:54,721
If I see you here again,
it'll be to my benefit...
21
00:00:55,722 --> 00:00:56,931
but I hope I don't.
22
00:00:56,973 --> 00:01:00,518
This company,
formerly known as Axe Capital,
23
00:01:00,519 --> 00:01:01,644
belongs to me now.
24
00:01:01,686 --> 00:01:03,188
Now, you're my problem.
25
00:01:03,229 --> 00:01:05,940
And you know what I do to problems.
26
00:01:05,982 --> 00:01:07,233
- I get rid of them.
- No.
27
00:01:07,234 --> 00:01:09,069
I got rid of the guy in the chair.
28
00:01:09,070 --> 00:01:11,154
Now how we know this to be true?
29
00:01:11,196 --> 00:01:14,032
'Cause I'm the one sitting in it.
30
00:01:14,033 --> 00:01:16,284
Not for fucking long.
31
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:52,779
Follow me.
32
00:01:53,571 --> 00:01:55,281
Yeah!
33
00:02:25,019 --> 00:02:27,147
Hold fire!
34
00:02:39,951 --> 00:02:42,954
That cannon has fired its last salvo!
35
00:02:45,374 --> 00:02:47,274
_
36
00:03:29,375 --> 00:03:34,214
You'll be so centered
in the office today.
37
00:03:34,215 --> 00:03:35,757
You're in the zone, huh?
38
00:03:35,758 --> 00:03:37,383
That's the idea.
39
00:03:37,384 --> 00:03:38,551
Focus.
40
00:03:38,593 --> 00:03:40,678
Detachment from all else.
41
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,764
That Buddhist shit.
42
00:03:42,765 --> 00:03:46,092
If I can only put everything...
43
00:03:46,134 --> 00:03:47,393
right here.
44
00:03:47,394 --> 00:03:49,312
Right at the tip of my consciousness.
45
00:03:49,354 --> 00:03:52,023
Then you are gonna make
hella good ice cream.
46
00:03:52,065 --> 00:03:53,149
Then I'm...
47
00:03:53,191 --> 00:03:56,110
maybe can work myself out of my...
48
00:03:56,152 --> 00:03:57,904
Don't think.
49
00:03:57,946 --> 00:04:00,198
- Just do.
- Ah.
50
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:01,866
There's that Buddhist shit again.
51
00:04:35,233 --> 00:04:36,234
Good? Need a break?
52
00:04:36,276 --> 00:04:37,610
When I ask for a break,
53
00:04:37,611 --> 00:04:40,071
you'll know the body
snatchers have taken me over.
54
00:04:40,072 --> 00:04:42,490
Good, now use your head.
55
00:04:44,867 --> 00:04:46,286
Sex. He's having sex.
56
00:04:46,327 --> 00:04:48,037
Could he just be having sex?
57
00:04:49,113 --> 00:04:50,957
It's him we're talking about.
It's probably sex.
58
00:04:50,999 --> 00:04:54,127
That would look... different, I think.
59
00:04:54,128 --> 00:04:55,461
But I'm not a doctor.
60
00:04:55,503 --> 00:04:57,338
And as a non-doctor,
you're diagnosing heart attack.
61
00:04:57,339 --> 00:05:00,049
Well, I can't diagnose.
The not-doctor thing.
62
00:05:00,050 --> 00:05:01,634
Suggesting. Declaring.
63
00:05:01,676 --> 00:05:02,844
Somewhere in that spectrum.
64
00:05:02,885 --> 00:05:03,970
Because this...
65
00:05:03,971 --> 00:05:06,764
is what a heart attack looks like.
66
00:05:08,099 --> 00:05:10,893
These readouts look as alike
as the Van Arsdale twins.
67
00:05:10,894 --> 00:05:12,854
When you pull out those
'70s basketball metaphors,
68
00:05:12,895 --> 00:05:14,147
it does force me to listen.
69
00:05:14,148 --> 00:05:15,773
I reserve them for maximum impact.
70
00:05:15,815 --> 00:05:17,025
Yes.
71
00:05:17,066 --> 00:05:18,443
So, then, we have to make the call.
72
00:05:18,484 --> 00:05:20,820
I'll admit, it's the right thing to do.
73
00:05:20,821 --> 00:05:22,155
If you can save a life, you save a life.
74
00:05:22,196 --> 00:05:23,698
- That's the kind of thing I...
- Yes.
75
00:05:23,699 --> 00:05:25,116
And I know you mean it. But...
76
00:05:25,117 --> 00:05:28,578
even at the cost of
exposing what we're doing.
77
00:05:28,579 --> 00:05:30,204
I'm going to leave
that question lingering
78
00:05:30,205 --> 00:05:32,482
so you can hear it and answer yourself.
79
00:05:32,483 --> 00:05:33,333
Damn.
80
00:05:33,374 --> 00:05:36,085
Once you said heart attack,
you knew we'd intervene.
81
00:05:36,127 --> 00:05:38,212
But now our cover's gonna be blown.
82
00:05:38,213 --> 00:05:40,715
Maybe in the all the hubbub,
they won't notice.
83
00:05:40,716 --> 00:05:42,550
Make the call.
84
00:05:47,263 --> 00:05:49,140
What the fuck are you guys doing here?
85
00:05:49,141 --> 00:05:50,641
Are you strippers?
86
00:05:50,642 --> 00:05:55,355
Because great, but...
not until I finish my...
87
00:05:55,356 --> 00:05:57,398
We're not strippers, sir.
You're having a heart attack,
88
00:05:57,399 --> 00:05:59,525
- we're here to...
- I'm doing a Peloton class.
89
00:05:59,567 --> 00:06:01,110
With Tunde.
90
00:06:01,152 --> 00:06:05,656
So I don't have a heart attack
keeping up with my girlfriend.
91
00:06:06,741 --> 00:06:08,409
She's young.
92
00:06:09,118 --> 00:06:11,371
I liked you better when
you were strippers.
93
00:06:11,372 --> 00:06:12,747
We were never strippers.
94
00:06:12,789 --> 00:06:14,082
Sir, how's your jaw?
95
00:06:15,583 --> 00:06:18,878
Now that you mention it,
a little like Ali after Norton.
96
00:06:18,879 --> 00:06:21,047
And... uh,
97
00:06:21,089 --> 00:06:24,133
if I'm being honest, the breathing's
98
00:06:24,175 --> 00:06:25,468
a little... tight. Huh.
99
00:06:25,469 --> 00:06:27,929
Mr. Wagner, I implore you,
take this aspirin
100
00:06:27,970 --> 00:06:29,806
and let us get you down to an ambulance
101
00:06:29,807 --> 00:06:32,517
before it's too late.
102
00:06:32,558 --> 00:06:34,018
Huh?
103
00:06:40,775 --> 00:06:42,860
It's alive!
104
00:06:45,752 --> 00:06:47,407
Wags!
105
00:06:55,123 --> 00:06:58,418
That is something to see right there.
106
00:07:00,378 --> 00:07:01,671
Rumors of my demise...
107
00:07:01,672 --> 00:07:04,882
I mean to say,
it is fucking great to be back!
108
00:07:04,924 --> 00:07:06,717
So glad to see you.
109
00:07:06,759 --> 00:07:08,094
So, so glad.
110
00:07:08,095 --> 00:07:09,220
I was worried.
111
00:07:09,262 --> 00:07:11,597
Yeah, I got that
from the 40 texts a day.
112
00:07:11,639 --> 00:07:14,267
But like I said,
it's a small heart attack.
113
00:07:14,308 --> 00:07:15,852
Mild as Babybel cheese.
114
00:07:15,893 --> 00:07:18,396
Stents are in.
I'm not going out like Mr. Big.
115
00:07:18,438 --> 00:07:20,440
How'd you know it wasn't just
indigestion or something?
116
00:07:20,481 --> 00:07:22,024
I always wonder if I'd know.
117
00:07:22,066 --> 00:07:24,819
You were weaned on olive
oil and rustic red wine.
118
00:07:25,641 --> 00:07:27,843
Better chance of you being
knocked off in a barber's chair
119
00:07:27,878 --> 00:07:29,949
than from the ticker exploding.
But no, I didn't know.
120
00:07:29,991 --> 00:07:33,077
So what made you call the ambulance?
121
00:07:34,412 --> 00:07:36,831
Come to think of it, I didn't.
122
00:07:52,409 --> 00:07:53,931
This is a listening tour.
123
00:07:53,932 --> 00:07:55,224
I listen. You talk.
124
00:07:55,266 --> 00:07:57,143
- Then I give someone else a chance to talk.
- _
125
00:07:57,144 --> 00:07:59,562
But first, take this.
126
00:07:59,563 --> 00:08:01,105
All of you are gonna get one.
127
00:08:01,106 --> 00:08:03,399
The Nimbus. A buddy's startup.
128
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,610
You're holding that ring
out there like it's Frodo's.
129
00:08:05,651 --> 00:08:07,737
In its own way,
it has the same kind of potential
130
00:08:07,778 --> 00:08:10,406
for life extension and
to improve our community.
131
00:08:10,448 --> 00:08:13,326
This'll track your sleep,
your resting heart rate,
132
00:08:13,327 --> 00:08:15,453
your BEWAT and ICHS and other vitals
133
00:08:15,454 --> 00:08:17,997
in the name of well-being
and productivity
134
00:08:18,039 --> 00:08:19,624
so that you can measure you.
135
00:08:19,625 --> 00:08:21,334
We've found the mind/body connection
136
00:08:21,375 --> 00:08:22,585
a key difference maker.
137
00:08:22,627 --> 00:08:24,837
Use this for a month,
check in on yourself,
138
00:08:24,879 --> 00:08:26,172
see if you don't agree.
139
00:08:26,214 --> 00:08:27,715
When you say, "use this,"
is that like, uh,
140
00:08:27,716 --> 00:08:30,676
"if you choose to use this,"
or "you have to use this?"
141
00:08:30,718 --> 00:08:32,386
I'm not here to give you orders today.
142
00:08:32,428 --> 00:08:34,138
It's just...
I don't think I want to wear it.
143
00:08:34,180 --> 00:08:36,682
I will become obsessed with
not disappointing myself.
144
00:08:36,724 --> 00:08:38,726
I will end up working out even more.
145
00:08:38,727 --> 00:08:41,270
Eating even less.
Actually, that sounds great...
146
00:08:41,271 --> 00:08:43,231
- Gimme that, please.
- Good.
147
00:08:43,232 --> 00:08:46,275
Look, I know this place used
to operate in the red zone.
148
00:08:46,317 --> 00:08:48,778
I don't do red zone.
149
00:08:48,779 --> 00:08:49,987
So talk to me.
150
00:08:49,988 --> 00:08:52,156
Ain't ratting or being ratted on.
151
00:08:52,157 --> 00:08:53,908
I'm not really interested in being
152
00:08:53,950 --> 00:08:55,493
the Big Pussy of this place.
153
00:08:55,494 --> 00:08:58,197
Never ends well for the Big Pussy.
154
00:08:58,232 --> 00:09:00,456
Dollar Bill never said
nothing like that about you.
155
00:09:00,457 --> 00:09:04,168
No one's getting capped because
of something someone said.
156
00:09:04,169 --> 00:09:06,462
As Ness said to the Chi-Town cops,
157
00:09:06,504 --> 00:09:09,340
"What you've done before
today is not my concern.
158
00:09:09,382 --> 00:09:11,551
But now we must be pure."
159
00:09:11,592 --> 00:09:13,386
I'm getting my arms around this place,
160
00:09:13,387 --> 00:09:16,973
so this is your chance
to shape that bundle
161
00:09:16,974 --> 00:09:20,101
that's gonna be in those arms.
So, let's begin.
162
00:09:25,022 --> 00:09:27,108
Everyone knew to be here for this.
163
00:09:27,109 --> 00:09:29,360
I'm here. With bells on.
164
00:09:29,402 --> 00:09:30,611
Set my alarm and everything.
165
00:09:30,612 --> 00:09:32,488
Taylor comes and goes as they wish.
166
00:09:32,530 --> 00:09:33,906
Wherever they are in the world,
167
00:09:33,907 --> 00:09:35,157
they produce results.
168
00:09:35,199 --> 00:09:36,450
Kind of like how Dwayne "The Rock"
169
00:09:36,492 --> 00:09:38,411
can show up late to a film shoot
170
00:09:38,452 --> 00:09:40,955
because his movies always do,
like, a billion dollars.
171
00:09:40,997 --> 00:09:42,456
Guys like Winston
172
00:09:42,457 --> 00:09:43,624
need to spitshine their shoes
173
00:09:43,625 --> 00:09:46,043
and stand at attention to get noticed.
174
00:09:46,085 --> 00:09:47,253
I like your loyalty.
175
00:09:47,295 --> 00:09:48,838
And agree, Winston showing out like this
176
00:09:48,879 --> 00:09:50,673
is what the Navy SEALs
would call "butt snorkeling."
177
00:09:50,674 --> 00:09:53,175
But when I announce
an all-hands, I need...
178
00:09:53,176 --> 00:09:54,468
I know what you need.
179
00:09:54,510 --> 00:09:57,221
Or what you claim to need.
Bracing honesty.
180
00:09:57,263 --> 00:09:58,806
But when people say that,
what they really want is
181
00:09:58,807 --> 00:10:02,268
someone to tousle their hair
and tell them, "good boy."
182
00:10:05,521 --> 00:10:09,567
I have neither the hair
nor the need for approval.
183
00:10:09,609 --> 00:10:11,944
Besides, I'm asking about what was,
184
00:10:11,986 --> 00:10:13,946
what should be, not what is.
185
00:10:13,947 --> 00:10:15,114
Not your judgment of me.
186
00:10:15,156 --> 00:10:16,866
You are the very thing I am judging.
187
00:10:16,867 --> 00:10:19,660
My judgment of you crowds all
other discernment I might have.
188
00:10:19,702 --> 00:10:21,537
I'm gonna work hard
to shift that judgment.
189
00:10:21,579 --> 00:10:23,164
That's on me now.
190
00:10:23,165 --> 00:10:24,624
I don't think that can happen.
191
00:10:24,665 --> 00:10:26,542
Just tell me what you
need to succeed here.
192
00:10:26,584 --> 00:10:28,336
A boss I can trust and work with.
193
00:10:28,377 --> 00:10:29,462
I'm not Axe.
194
00:10:29,463 --> 00:10:30,671
You're sitting in the same office.
195
00:10:30,672 --> 00:10:31,881
You own what was once his.
196
00:10:31,922 --> 00:10:33,799
For different reasons.
I need faster returns
197
00:10:33,841 --> 00:10:36,510
and greater liquidity than
private equity provides.
198
00:10:36,511 --> 00:10:40,973
To that end, I want to make
you Chief Investment Officer.
199
00:10:40,974 --> 00:10:42,350
How's that for trust?
200
00:10:42,391 --> 00:10:44,393
Yeah, that means you trust me
201
00:10:44,435 --> 00:10:47,188
and want to use me to win
over the investors' trust.
202
00:10:47,189 --> 00:10:48,564
But I won't take that position.
203
00:10:48,606 --> 00:10:51,609
Last time I was CIO,
all my moves were wiped off the board.
204
00:10:51,651 --> 00:10:53,194
Like I said, I'm different.
205
00:10:53,235 --> 00:10:54,654
And I'm willing to put
the time and effort in
206
00:10:54,695 --> 00:10:56,238
to prove that to you...
207
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:57,907
to everyone here.
208
00:10:57,948 --> 00:10:59,158
You bought me up.
209
00:10:59,159 --> 00:11:01,118
You're kind of forcing me to stay here.
210
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,371
Doesn't feel different.
211
00:11:24,141 --> 00:11:25,601
Hello, neighbor.
212
00:11:25,643 --> 00:11:27,895
- Good day, sir.
- Good day to you.
213
00:11:27,937 --> 00:11:29,313
Boy, this is...
214
00:11:29,314 --> 00:11:31,524
some magnificent spread.
215
00:11:32,411 --> 00:11:34,360
Something that's been
in the family for...
216
00:11:34,361 --> 00:11:36,987
Well, it was in the family years ago.
217
00:11:37,029 --> 00:11:38,531
And now, once again.
218
00:11:38,532 --> 00:11:41,158
My great-great-great
-great-grandfather
219
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,494
- built those stone fences...
- Ah.
220
00:11:43,536 --> 00:11:44,662
...and hid behind them,
221
00:11:44,704 --> 00:11:47,039
firing his musket at the Redcoats.
222
00:11:47,081 --> 00:11:49,250
Hmm.
223
00:11:50,376 --> 00:11:51,460
Yeah.
224
00:11:51,502 --> 00:11:54,046
You'd think a place this grand,
225
00:11:54,088 --> 00:11:55,715
it would suck up the sound.
226
00:11:55,756 --> 00:11:58,217
But it's a funny thing
about gunpowder and sky,
227
00:11:58,218 --> 00:12:00,594
one offers little
resistance to the other.
228
00:12:00,636 --> 00:12:01,804
That's the thing about a cannon,
229
00:12:01,805 --> 00:12:04,348
nothing much offers it resistance.
230
00:12:05,516 --> 00:12:08,728
That's why I have such
regard for their power.
231
00:12:09,562 --> 00:12:12,106
Well, that's why I'm here.
232
00:12:12,107 --> 00:12:13,190
The artillery.
233
00:12:13,232 --> 00:12:15,818
For one thing, uh, we share a stream,
234
00:12:15,819 --> 00:12:17,778
that I irrigate my fields with,
235
00:12:17,820 --> 00:12:20,364
and when it comes to
black powder residue
236
00:12:20,365 --> 00:12:22,099
and leaching metals...
237
00:12:22,199 --> 00:12:25,244
- I'm downstream of you.
- Mm-hmm.
238
00:12:25,286 --> 00:12:27,204
- So you are.
- Hmm-hmm.
239
00:12:27,246 --> 00:12:29,415
Then there's the noise.
240
00:12:29,457 --> 00:12:32,084
It's really jarring and unsettling.
241
00:12:32,126 --> 00:12:33,961
And I'm not a dairy outfit,
242
00:12:34,003 --> 00:12:36,547
but I do have a milk cow,
and she's sensitive.
243
00:12:36,548 --> 00:12:40,092
She won't give milk with all
the bombs bursting in air.
244
00:12:40,134 --> 00:12:42,511
Well, I'm sorry to hear your
Guernsey's teats are swoll...
245
00:12:42,553 --> 00:12:46,474
- She's a Holstein.
- That's...
246
00:12:47,091 --> 00:12:49,935
A smart man once said,
247
00:12:49,936 --> 00:12:52,438
"Nothing external affects how you feel.
248
00:12:52,439 --> 00:12:54,982
You control how you feel."
249
00:12:55,524 --> 00:12:56,609
So I say this,
250
00:12:56,650 --> 00:12:58,652
"When you hear the sound of the cannon,
251
00:12:58,653 --> 00:13:00,237
why don't you hear what I do?"
252
00:13:00,238 --> 00:13:02,114
The sound of liberty,
253
00:13:02,156 --> 00:13:04,283
of triumph.
254
00:13:04,325 --> 00:13:05,493
Of America!
255
00:13:05,494 --> 00:13:07,912
You can make yourself
process it that way.
256
00:13:07,953 --> 00:13:09,538
Hmm.
257
00:13:09,580 --> 00:13:12,458
Seems like an awful lot of work.
258
00:13:13,353 --> 00:13:14,585
Work...
259
00:13:14,627 --> 00:13:16,712
is how I made the fortune
260
00:13:16,754 --> 00:13:19,507
that's allowed me to
possess this place anew.
261
00:13:19,548 --> 00:13:20,925
Work is what men like me...
262
00:13:20,966 --> 00:13:23,552
and, I assume, you, are made of.
263
00:13:23,553 --> 00:13:27,473
Sure. No, I'm familiar with
the bromides of the self-made.
264
00:13:27,515 --> 00:13:30,768
The work-is-the-tonic types.
265
00:13:30,810 --> 00:13:32,561
Perhaps you could do me the courtesy
266
00:13:32,562 --> 00:13:35,314
of just limiting the
number of times a week.
267
00:13:35,315 --> 00:13:37,316
It's strictly limited.
268
00:13:37,317 --> 00:13:38,943
Morning and nightfall.
269
00:13:38,944 --> 00:13:41,320
- I'm a constitutional scholar...
- Ah.
270
00:13:41,383 --> 00:13:43,572
Not as a vocation, like you,
271
00:13:43,614 --> 00:13:44,865
but as an avocation.
272
00:13:44,907 --> 00:13:47,409
And the amendments to
that vaunted document...
273
00:13:47,451 --> 00:13:48,953
Oh, I'm ahead of you.
274
00:13:48,954 --> 00:13:52,540
Yes, I know which amendment
you're so keen on.
275
00:13:54,375 --> 00:13:55,668
Well, thanks for the visit.
276
00:13:55,709 --> 00:13:58,587
Mind Mr. Frost's words
about good fences.
277
00:13:58,629 --> 00:14:00,422
Ah, the neighbors worked together
278
00:14:00,464 --> 00:14:02,174
in Robert Frost's "Mending Wall."
279
00:14:02,175 --> 00:14:03,634
The point is wholly...
280
00:14:03,676 --> 00:14:05,219
Whatever.
281
00:14:06,470 --> 00:14:08,138
I didn't come looking for a war.
282
00:14:08,180 --> 00:14:10,516
Well I, on the other hand,
have always regretted
283
00:14:10,517 --> 00:14:13,018
I didn't get a chance to fight in mine.
284
00:14:31,036 --> 00:14:33,163
Former culture wasn't a problem for me.
285
00:14:33,205 --> 00:14:35,833
New one won't be either.
I'm not like these weak-knees.
286
00:14:35,875 --> 00:14:37,835
You're not talking about me, are you?
287
00:14:37,836 --> 00:14:39,670
I hope you don't think
my knees are weak, they're...
288
00:14:39,671 --> 00:14:41,755
Well, he's not fucking
talking about me, dude.
289
00:14:41,797 --> 00:14:43,674
Let's start with this.
290
00:14:43,675 --> 00:14:46,135
There's no shame in being sensitive.
291
00:14:46,176 --> 00:14:47,469
You need to be.
292
00:14:47,470 --> 00:14:49,138
One of the secrets to
being a great investor
293
00:14:49,179 --> 00:14:51,473
is recognizing the impulses
that might lead you
294
00:14:51,515 --> 00:14:53,225
to make decisions based on emotion.
295
00:14:54,188 --> 00:14:55,853
If you're not training
yourself to recognize those,
296
00:14:55,854 --> 00:14:58,063
your subconscious will
just be directed by them.
297
00:14:58,064 --> 00:14:59,081
Thank you!
298
00:14:59,123 --> 00:15:01,525
Now you won't have to go the bathroom
when you want to cry, Tuk.
299
00:15:01,567 --> 00:15:02,902
Once! One time and...
300
00:15:02,903 --> 00:15:04,945
What was encouraged was more of a
301
00:15:04,987 --> 00:15:07,156
"Stick your emotions
where your conscience is,
302
00:15:07,157 --> 00:15:10,242
"and then tie
'em off like a gangrenous leg
303
00:15:10,243 --> 00:15:12,453
"until they wither and die.
304
00:15:12,494 --> 00:15:14,371
Then chop 'em off forever."
305
00:15:14,372 --> 00:15:15,748
What effect do you think that had?
306
00:15:15,749 --> 00:15:17,082
Greased the way to profit.
307
00:15:17,083 --> 00:15:19,835
Take the friction out.
For guys like me and Bonnie.
308
00:15:19,836 --> 00:15:22,421
And led to some pretty
close calls with the SEC,
309
00:15:22,422 --> 00:15:23,756
the U.S. Attorney's Office, the...
310
00:15:23,757 --> 00:15:25,007
Never convicted! We were...
311
00:15:25,049 --> 00:15:27,051
I mean, Axe was, sort of, in absentia.
312
00:15:27,092 --> 00:15:29,744
We're going on a different
kind of exploration here.
313
00:15:29,779 --> 00:15:31,889
Because I believe it'll
lead you to be better,
314
00:15:31,890 --> 00:15:34,224
not worse, at your jobs.
315
00:15:36,685 --> 00:15:38,854
We used to work for a killer,
316
00:15:38,896 --> 00:15:41,732
now we've got a guy who
wants to know how we "feel."
317
00:15:41,774 --> 00:15:44,443
Why is he asking for our guidance?
318
00:15:44,485 --> 00:15:45,694
Why doesn't he know what to do?
319
00:15:45,736 --> 00:15:47,404
Point me at a hill,
320
00:15:47,446 --> 00:15:48,781
tell me to take the hill.
321
00:15:48,782 --> 00:15:50,074
That's what I want in a general.
322
00:15:50,075 --> 00:15:53,744
I must admit,
Axe's ruthlessness was almost...
323
00:15:53,786 --> 00:15:55,955
reassuring.
324
00:15:57,331 --> 00:15:58,749
This might not be salvageable.
325
00:15:58,791 --> 00:16:01,251
Maybe we just take the
joint down to the rivets.
326
00:16:01,293 --> 00:16:03,295
- Start over.
- Nah.
327
00:16:03,296 --> 00:16:05,464
We can turn it around.
328
00:16:05,506 --> 00:16:07,216
Can't we?
329
00:16:07,257 --> 00:16:09,093
Turn it around?
330
00:16:09,094 --> 00:16:10,152
Can you?
331
00:16:11,381 --> 00:16:13,639
Well, if anyone can guide me there,
it's you.
332
00:16:13,681 --> 00:16:16,976
You're the magic sauce, aren't you?
333
00:16:16,977 --> 00:16:19,687
Special sauce. Magic touch.
334
00:16:19,728 --> 00:16:21,689
I don't get nervous.
You make me nervous.
335
00:16:21,730 --> 00:16:23,190
Like you can see through me.
336
00:16:23,232 --> 00:16:25,776
That's a good technique.
But you're not nervous.
337
00:16:25,777 --> 00:16:27,027
And you said "magic sauce" on purpose
338
00:16:27,069 --> 00:16:30,364
to give me the power
in the conversation.
339
00:16:31,532 --> 00:16:33,867
What do you want with me?
340
00:16:33,909 --> 00:16:36,203
I wanted to see if you were
that good. You are.
341
00:16:36,204 --> 00:16:38,622
That's very much up
for debate right now.
342
00:16:38,664 --> 00:16:39,957
Not with me.
343
00:16:39,958 --> 00:16:41,333
I look at my results,
344
00:16:41,375 --> 00:16:43,711
and I don't see a lot of
checkmarks in the win column.
345
00:16:43,712 --> 00:16:45,838
My guy lost this whole place.
346
00:16:45,879 --> 00:16:47,756
Guy hits 700 home runs,
347
00:16:47,798 --> 00:16:49,717
but gets caught bringing
a corked bat to plate,
348
00:16:49,758 --> 00:16:52,302
you can't blame yourself
without also taking credit
349
00:16:52,344 --> 00:16:53,637
for the 700 dingers.
350
00:16:53,679 --> 00:16:55,305
The one matters more than the other.
351
00:16:55,830 --> 00:16:59,351
On that, we agree.
You'll find no pine tar, no cork,
352
00:16:59,393 --> 00:17:00,978
no dented garbage cans,
353
00:17:00,979 --> 00:17:02,479
no signs stolen here.
354
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,023
Okay, Mr. October.
355
00:17:04,064 --> 00:17:05,190
But I'm not settling either,
356
00:17:05,232 --> 00:17:06,984
for my current level of performance.
357
00:17:07,026 --> 00:17:09,486
And here's one you
probably didn't guess.
358
00:17:09,487 --> 00:17:10,946
I've never been coached.
359
00:17:10,988 --> 00:17:14,033
Not since I was an athlete, I mean.
360
00:17:14,034 --> 00:17:16,035
No therapy, no executive coaching,
361
00:17:16,036 --> 00:17:18,328
no shrink, no life guru.
362
00:17:18,912 --> 00:17:19,913
But with you...
363
00:17:19,955 --> 00:17:22,499
Nah, there is no "with me."
364
00:17:23,584 --> 00:17:26,086
If I can somehow still
do what I used to,
365
00:17:26,087 --> 00:17:28,589
I can't do it with
someone unless I have,
366
00:17:28,590 --> 00:17:31,103
or can manufacture, objectivity.
367
00:17:31,138 --> 00:17:32,718
You weren't objective with Axe.
368
00:17:33,072 --> 00:17:34,636
Yeah, not so hype about his name
369
00:17:34,678 --> 00:17:37,639
coming out of your mouth.
There's no need for that.
370
00:17:37,681 --> 00:17:39,933
And how I felt about him
has nothing to do with
371
00:17:39,934 --> 00:17:42,186
how I feel about you. I...
372
00:17:42,187 --> 00:17:43,854
well, I didn't resent or hate him.
373
00:17:43,896 --> 00:17:46,148
Hate? Ouch. Hate feels extreme.
374
00:17:46,190 --> 00:17:48,067
How else should your
prisoners think of you?
375
00:17:48,068 --> 00:17:49,568
You're not a prisoner.
376
00:17:49,569 --> 00:17:51,403
You signed an employment contract.
377
00:17:51,404 --> 00:17:53,822
So did a certain musical
genius you share a name with.
378
00:17:53,864 --> 00:17:56,658
Didn't stop him from writing
"slave" on his face.
379
00:17:56,700 --> 00:17:58,077
Technically, once he did that,
380
00:17:58,118 --> 00:17:59,953
he was The Artist
Formerly Known as Prince.
381
00:17:59,995 --> 00:18:01,914
And, look,
I bargained for your services,
382
00:18:01,915 --> 00:18:03,707
but I would never keep you
here against your will.
383
00:18:03,708 --> 00:18:05,918
So I can leave and work at another fund?
384
00:18:05,919 --> 00:18:07,795
Oh, we're not there yet. You leaving?
385
00:18:07,836 --> 00:18:10,422
We're still getting to know each other.
386
00:18:13,967 --> 00:18:15,594
Investors are clamoring for a meeting.
387
00:18:15,636 --> 00:18:17,221
- Which ones?
- All of 'em.
388
00:18:17,222 --> 00:18:19,598
I'm holding them at bay,
but you've got to give them
389
00:18:19,599 --> 00:18:20,974
the new manifesto by the end of the week
390
00:18:20,975 --> 00:18:23,894
or they're going to peel off. En masse.
391
00:18:23,895 --> 00:18:25,771
Should we sound him out about it?
392
00:18:25,813 --> 00:18:28,023
I just don't see the point.
393
00:18:28,024 --> 00:18:30,109
So you've said,
but the institutional knowledge...
394
00:18:30,110 --> 00:18:32,820
So you've said.
But isn't he someone who's
395
00:18:32,821 --> 00:18:34,363
stuck around too long, like...
396
00:18:34,364 --> 00:18:35,781
Hit me with a ref.
397
00:18:35,823 --> 00:18:38,075
Like Jan-Michael Vincent in Hangfire.
398
00:18:38,117 --> 00:18:39,201
I'll have to trust you.
399
00:18:39,243 --> 00:18:40,911
Believe me, it wasn't pretty.
400
00:18:40,953 --> 00:18:42,913
Even if I wanted to get rid of him,
401
00:18:42,955 --> 00:18:44,456
- the buyout makes it...
- Popping a zit
402
00:18:44,498 --> 00:18:47,075
is painful for a moment.
But then, you're blemish-free.
403
00:18:47,110 --> 00:18:48,961
Yeah. If it cost me 80
million bucks to pop a zit.
404
00:18:48,962 --> 00:18:50,838
You sound a little
sorry we made the call.
405
00:18:50,839 --> 00:18:53,377
- So we make him want to quit?
- He has to.
406
00:18:53,412 --> 00:18:55,843
Or has to get fired for cause
for us to get out of the deal.
407
00:18:55,884 --> 00:18:58,137
He'll get the idea
without us doing anything,
408
00:18:58,178 --> 00:19:00,973
as soon as he sees he has
no influence here anymore,
409
00:19:00,974 --> 00:19:03,767
no portfolio, no life.
410
00:19:13,485 --> 00:19:15,195
Why do you want to give me
this only to take it back
411
00:19:15,196 --> 00:19:17,114
after you fire me at the end of the day
412
00:19:17,115 --> 00:19:20,325
or week or whenever it
is in your calendar for?
413
00:19:20,360 --> 00:19:21,910
There's no date for that
in the calendar right now.
414
00:19:21,911 --> 00:19:23,745
Your institutional knowledge...
415
00:19:23,787 --> 00:19:25,706
If you shitcan me before
you hear everyone out,
416
00:19:25,707 --> 00:19:27,249
you think there'll be a revolt.
417
00:19:27,250 --> 00:19:29,835
- We aren't rushing anything.
- Uh-huh.
418
00:19:29,836 --> 00:19:31,587
When do we charge this puppy?
419
00:19:31,588 --> 00:19:32,713
Self-charging.
420
00:19:32,754 --> 00:19:33,839
You wear it 24/7.
421
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,383
To bed. When you work out.
422
00:19:49,229 --> 00:19:51,815
They put drones on our fingers, people,
423
00:19:51,816 --> 00:19:53,483
to watch our every move.
424
00:19:53,484 --> 00:19:55,694
Grip 'em and rip 'em!
425
00:19:55,695 --> 00:19:57,279
It's always the fucking nice guys.
426
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:58,947
Is there GPS on this thing too?
427
00:19:58,989 --> 00:20:01,063
I like the ring, but not how he did it.
428
00:20:01,098 --> 00:20:03,829
Invasion of goddamned
privacy is what it is.
429
00:20:03,864 --> 00:20:04,865
Spying on us?
430
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,496
We can't have invaded your privacy.
431
00:20:06,497 --> 00:20:07,831
You invited us in.
432
00:20:07,873 --> 00:20:09,166
Each of you gave permission
when you launched the app
433
00:20:09,167 --> 00:20:12,127
- and clicked agree.
- Everyone always just clicks agree.
434
00:20:12,128 --> 00:20:14,504
- You tricked us!
- Not everyone, Tuk.
435
00:20:14,546 --> 00:20:17,132
I put mine on my dog's
collar the night we got 'em.
436
00:20:17,174 --> 00:20:19,134
I paid a marathoner
friend of mine to wear it.
437
00:20:19,135 --> 00:20:22,304
- Forty-four BPM, baby!
- You should've told us.
438
00:20:22,346 --> 00:20:25,849
Those tech geeks only
care about themselves.
439
00:20:25,891 --> 00:20:26,934
Not even.
440
00:20:26,935 --> 00:20:29,436
It's each for his own from here on out.
441
00:20:33,232 --> 00:20:34,983
Shouldn't you get in the middle of this?
442
00:20:35,025 --> 00:20:37,945
It's good for them to let it out.
443
00:20:47,036 --> 00:20:49,498
- Hello?
- Come on in.
444
00:20:49,499 --> 00:20:50,666
Mr. Mayor, I'm...
445
00:20:50,707 --> 00:20:52,042
I know who you are.
446
00:20:52,084 --> 00:20:54,795
Word went around when you
bought your land for your...
447
00:20:54,836 --> 00:20:55,921
sabbatical.
448
00:20:57,047 --> 00:20:58,257
Not a sabbatical.
449
00:20:58,258 --> 00:20:59,758
Just... still the AG.
450
00:20:59,759 --> 00:21:02,135
Just working from the farm for a while.
451
00:21:02,177 --> 00:21:03,971
The air out here, you know?
452
00:21:04,012 --> 00:21:05,138
The clarity.
453
00:21:05,180 --> 00:21:08,308
What matters becomes clear.
454
00:21:08,309 --> 00:21:10,560
What are you working on there,
a buck tail?
455
00:21:10,561 --> 00:21:11,636
Moose May.
456
00:21:11,678 --> 00:21:13,563
Blackfly season's brutal around here.
457
00:21:13,564 --> 00:21:16,984
Least I can do is land
some trout thanks to 'em.
458
00:21:19,402 --> 00:21:21,571
Mr. Mayor,
459
00:21:21,613 --> 00:21:25,575
how is it a resident can
fire off military-grade,
460
00:21:25,617 --> 00:21:27,119
albeit antique, weaponry?
461
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,080
Ah, you're talking
about Melville Revere,
462
00:21:30,081 --> 00:21:32,416
a prominent and beloved resident.
463
00:21:33,287 --> 00:21:36,003
Well, having commemorative
cannonry isn't a violation
464
00:21:36,004 --> 00:21:37,838
of the National Firearms Act.
465
00:21:37,839 --> 00:21:39,423
It is if it's operational.
466
00:21:39,464 --> 00:21:42,301
Well, he also has
a state firearms license.
467
00:21:42,302 --> 00:21:44,886
He's a wealthy man with lots of lawyers
468
00:21:44,887 --> 00:21:47,556
and "friends in high places,"
as they say.
469
00:21:47,597 --> 00:21:52,311
And he has a special waiver
from the ATF to use them.
470
00:21:52,879 --> 00:21:55,689
Imagine a private citizen with all that.
471
00:21:55,690 --> 00:21:57,357
Mr. Rhoades, you should know,
472
00:21:57,358 --> 00:21:59,234
Stony Gorge is a quiet hamlet.
473
00:21:59,235 --> 00:22:02,654
It'd be a hell of a lot quieter
without all that ordnance.
474
00:22:03,196 --> 00:22:05,532
We mind our own business here.
475
00:22:06,199 --> 00:22:08,785
Town has learned to live with it.
476
00:22:08,786 --> 00:22:10,954
I suggest you do too.
477
00:22:42,235 --> 00:22:44,905
Allow me to stand a
round of John Barleycorn
478
00:22:44,946 --> 00:22:46,740
for my new friends and neighbors.
479
00:22:46,782 --> 00:22:47,958
- Hear, hear.
- Thanks.
480
00:22:48,019 --> 00:22:50,369
Hmm-hmm.
481
00:22:51,995 --> 00:22:53,747
Great.
482
00:23:05,258 --> 00:23:06,593
Is it just me,
483
00:23:06,594 --> 00:23:09,137
or does it feel like
we're living in a war zone
484
00:23:09,138 --> 00:23:11,765
around here at dawn and dusk?
485
00:23:16,895 --> 00:23:18,730
Ah. I guess he's, uh,
486
00:23:18,731 --> 00:23:20,399
one of your own,
487
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,150
so you hold him close.
488
00:23:22,192 --> 00:23:24,236
What he is, is a stuck-up prick.
489
00:23:25,157 --> 00:23:26,947
Well, I know this:
490
00:23:26,948 --> 00:23:29,116
If anyone else was
firing field artillery,
491
00:23:29,117 --> 00:23:30,909
he'd be locked up.
492
00:23:30,910 --> 00:23:32,948
So how's he getting a free pass?
493
00:23:32,983 --> 00:23:36,373
Fire department needed a
new ladder truck last year.
494
00:23:36,415 --> 00:23:37,666
Guess who bought it?
495
00:23:37,667 --> 00:23:40,589
Police department needs new gear,
he ponies up.
496
00:23:40,624 --> 00:23:42,337
- Same with the Little League.
- And with the Boy Scouts.
497
00:23:42,379 --> 00:23:44,297
No one will line up against him.
498
00:23:44,339 --> 00:23:45,507
It's too dangerous.
499
00:23:45,549 --> 00:23:47,801
- And could cost too much.
- Hmm-hmm.
500
00:23:47,843 --> 00:23:50,362
So he's buying indulgences.
501
00:23:50,397 --> 00:23:52,639
Yeah, but he pays in cash.
502
00:24:02,482 --> 00:24:04,860
I'd really love Chuck to
have a look at my opening.
503
00:24:04,901 --> 00:24:06,069
I'll take a look at it.
504
00:24:06,070 --> 00:24:08,280
My judge, he worked for Chuck. Can he...
505
00:24:08,281 --> 00:24:10,282
I know him from Southern.
I'll touch base.
506
00:24:10,283 --> 00:24:12,742
I'm handling all matters, Chuck.
507
00:24:15,833 --> 00:24:17,621
_
508
00:24:21,042 --> 00:24:23,128
Okay. Now I need to do
some real listening.
509
00:24:23,170 --> 00:24:25,380
To you. Bottom-line it.
510
00:24:25,381 --> 00:24:26,882
Biggest issue.
511
00:24:26,883 --> 00:24:28,383
You have investors who are wary.
512
00:24:28,384 --> 00:24:31,094
You're a long-hold player in a
high-vol game all of a sudden.
513
00:24:31,136 --> 00:24:32,637
They'll get more and more restless
514
00:24:32,679 --> 00:24:34,973
as you find your footing in
this hedge fund landscape.
515
00:24:35,015 --> 00:24:36,183
In order to keep the investors,
516
00:24:36,184 --> 00:24:37,309
we need to win the employees.
517
00:24:37,310 --> 00:24:39,060
Right. Which, I think, is in motion
518
00:24:39,102 --> 00:24:41,104
to the extent that we
know how to reach them.
519
00:24:41,105 --> 00:24:43,106
But neither of us yet have
rhythm with this bunch.
520
00:24:43,148 --> 00:24:44,524
Not our kind of folks,
on the face of it.
521
00:24:44,566 --> 00:24:46,693
- But in this game...
- They are the best.
522
00:24:46,694 --> 00:24:48,945
Which is what the investors count on.
523
00:24:48,946 --> 00:24:50,197
But the way they've always done it
524
00:24:50,198 --> 00:24:51,656
puts us at risk going forward.
525
00:24:51,657 --> 00:24:54,310
As discussed,
we won't allow that stuff to happen.
526
00:24:54,326 --> 00:24:56,036
Correct.
527
00:24:56,077 --> 00:24:57,496
And I've tasked the back
office with yanking out
528
00:24:57,537 --> 00:24:59,664
the odd remaining bad tooth
to turn over to the SEC
529
00:24:59,665 --> 00:25:02,083
so the new company can start fresh
530
00:25:02,125 --> 00:25:03,168
and with trust.
531
00:25:03,169 --> 00:25:04,419
Because the place as-is,
532
00:25:04,461 --> 00:25:06,671
the Commission's not gonna like it.
533
00:25:09,174 --> 00:25:11,843
Speaking of bad teeth.
534
00:25:14,012 --> 00:25:16,806
We need a full compliance report.
535
00:25:18,016 --> 00:25:19,809
Can do.
536
00:25:19,810 --> 00:25:22,896
But once I hand it over,
537
00:25:22,897 --> 00:25:25,690
you're in it, responsible.
538
00:25:26,441 --> 00:25:27,984
That's how it has to be.
539
00:25:28,026 --> 00:25:29,402
What's this?
540
00:25:29,444 --> 00:25:32,572
This is a little filing system
that I've just implemented
541
00:25:32,573 --> 00:25:33,823
to separate out our trades
542
00:25:33,865 --> 00:25:37,494
based on how far over the
line of securities law
543
00:25:37,495 --> 00:25:39,306
each transaction was.
544
00:25:39,683 --> 00:25:41,248
You know we need a little red meat
545
00:25:41,289 --> 00:25:42,415
to throw the SEC,
546
00:25:42,416 --> 00:25:43,634
something so they know we're committed
547
00:25:43,712 --> 00:25:46,545
to being a clean operation.
548
00:25:47,254 --> 00:25:50,590
Then this is your meat locker.
549
00:25:55,470 --> 00:25:57,389
All that...
550
00:25:57,430 --> 00:25:59,683
is dirty?
551
00:26:16,324 --> 00:26:18,535
Got those books you asked for.
552
00:26:18,577 --> 00:26:21,204
Also a bunch of stuff from the
office for you to look over.
553
00:26:21,246 --> 00:26:24,165
You handle it.
Better for your development that way.
554
00:26:24,207 --> 00:26:25,292
Uh-huh.
555
00:26:25,293 --> 00:26:26,668
- I think I'm developed.
- Hmm.
556
00:26:26,710 --> 00:26:29,296
The line troops would
love to hear from you.
557
00:26:29,297 --> 00:26:32,340
- Whenever your sabbatical...
- Nope, not a sabbatical.
558
00:26:32,382 --> 00:26:34,342
This clean air gets a person thinking.
559
00:26:34,343 --> 00:26:36,886
- That's what I'm doing.
- Okay.
560
00:26:36,887 --> 00:26:39,347
I will handle the work
stuff while you think.
561
00:26:39,389 --> 00:26:40,765
- How long do you imagine...
- Until
562
00:26:40,807 --> 00:26:43,602
I figure out how to
actually get something done
563
00:26:43,603 --> 00:26:46,646
from that chair behind my desk.
564
00:26:46,688 --> 00:26:48,106
You've known me a long time,
565
00:26:48,107 --> 00:26:49,466
and you know I don't shy from battle.
566
00:26:49,499 --> 00:26:51,718
But pointless battle?
567
00:26:51,719 --> 00:26:52,777
It's not my jam.
568
00:26:52,778 --> 00:26:55,071
Neither is losing, being thwarted,
569
00:26:55,072 --> 00:26:56,531
or spitting into the wind.
570
00:26:56,532 --> 00:26:57,741
So, I'll be back
571
00:26:57,782 --> 00:27:00,994
when I see a road to victory.
And likely not sooner.
572
00:27:03,997 --> 00:27:05,832
- I'll get to it.
- No. Later.
573
00:27:05,833 --> 00:27:08,585
First you can stay and
have some hunter's stew.
574
00:27:08,627 --> 00:27:10,629
Nah, not in my diet.
575
00:27:10,630 --> 00:27:12,422
Have a seat, Ms. Sacker.
576
00:27:12,423 --> 00:27:15,008
You can pick around the meat...
577
00:27:15,050 --> 00:27:17,344
and I could use the company.
578
00:27:58,475 --> 00:28:01,221
Email just hit from Melville Revere.
579
00:28:01,222 --> 00:28:02,263
I know the name.
580
00:28:02,305 --> 00:28:04,307
Investor we inherited from Axe Cap.
581
00:28:04,349 --> 00:28:05,558
Oh.
582
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:09,688
Mr. Revere's cannonballs
and gunpowder got wet?
583
00:28:09,689 --> 00:28:11,648
The shed where he stores
his ammo was flooded
584
00:28:11,690 --> 00:28:13,441
by a stream he shares with a neighbor,
585
00:28:13,442 --> 00:28:15,485
so he couldn't fire off
his morning blast.
586
00:28:15,527 --> 00:28:18,029
Not a phrase I use often, but...
white people problems.
587
00:28:18,030 --> 00:28:20,532
Truly. And why does he
think our little depository
588
00:28:20,573 --> 00:28:22,450
can help with this particular problem?
589
00:28:22,492 --> 00:28:23,702
His neighbor is Chuck Rhoades.
590
00:28:23,703 --> 00:28:25,745
Revere thinks Rhoades flooded him.
591
00:28:25,746 --> 00:28:27,497
And he knows Wendy works here.
592
00:28:27,539 --> 00:28:29,708
He thought the ex-wife would step in?
593
00:28:29,709 --> 00:28:30,917
Talk sense into Chuck?
594
00:28:30,918 --> 00:28:32,711
He thought that since
we manage his money,
595
00:28:32,752 --> 00:28:34,421
there might be incentive
in that direction, yes.
596
00:28:34,462 --> 00:28:35,797
Did Wendy feel so incentivized?
597
00:28:35,839 --> 00:28:38,425
You know how in, like,
old Andy Capp cartoons
598
00:28:38,426 --> 00:28:39,718
when the character curses?
599
00:28:39,719 --> 00:28:42,395
She let out a stream of
pound signs and asterisks?
600
00:28:42,437 --> 00:28:43,596
And alphasands.
601
00:28:43,597 --> 00:28:44,723
What we now call the "at" sign.
602
00:28:44,724 --> 00:28:46,015
The verbal equivalent.
603
00:28:46,016 --> 00:28:47,976
- Nice.
- Here's the not-nice.
604
00:28:48,017 --> 00:28:50,353
We have to help Revere
deal with Chuck Rhoades.
605
00:28:50,395 --> 00:28:52,021
- You do.
- I'd rather not.
606
00:28:52,022 --> 00:28:53,273
No, of course not.
607
00:28:53,274 --> 00:28:54,691
But we need the story going around that
608
00:28:54,692 --> 00:28:56,735
we are satisfying our investors.
609
00:28:56,776 --> 00:28:58,278
Going the extra mile or two.
610
00:28:58,279 --> 00:28:59,446
Now is the opportunity for us
611
00:28:59,447 --> 00:29:01,039
to get positive word of mouth flowing.
612
00:29:01,081 --> 00:29:02,157
I'd do it, but...
613
00:29:02,198 --> 00:29:04,451
you'll do it better.
614
00:29:05,285 --> 00:29:07,245
Alphasand.
615
00:29:20,717 --> 00:29:24,429
Look at you,
out here in the fenland and fields.
616
00:29:28,475 --> 00:29:30,685
So, you've become
a modern day Cincinnatus,
617
00:29:30,686 --> 00:29:34,564
leaving matters of the
state for the plow.
618
00:29:34,565 --> 00:29:36,149
I merely needed a break.
619
00:29:36,191 --> 00:29:38,651
A recharge.
620
00:29:38,652 --> 00:29:42,989
I imagine you feel there's
unfinished business with me.
621
00:29:42,990 --> 00:29:44,949
But I'm unlike the man
who came before me.
622
00:29:44,950 --> 00:29:46,701
I will never give you a legal opening
623
00:29:46,743 --> 00:29:49,329
because I do not break the law.
624
00:29:49,330 --> 00:29:51,664
Billionaires break the laws of decency,
625
00:29:51,665 --> 00:29:54,459
even while obeying the letter.
626
00:29:54,501 --> 00:29:58,338
By definition,
having that much is criminal.
627
00:29:59,172 --> 00:30:01,716
A point much open to debate.
628
00:30:01,758 --> 00:30:03,468
But I can be your ally.
629
00:30:05,804 --> 00:30:08,431
I know I owe you a debt.
I'm aware of that.
630
00:30:08,473 --> 00:30:10,600
But you should be aware that I am good,
631
00:30:10,601 --> 00:30:13,812
very good, at settling scores.
632
00:30:13,813 --> 00:30:15,730
And what have you come to ask,
633
00:30:15,731 --> 00:30:18,191
in order to deepen that debt?
634
00:30:19,567 --> 00:30:23,404
- Melville Revere.
- Oof.
635
00:30:23,405 --> 00:30:25,615
Disagreeable sort.
636
00:30:25,657 --> 00:30:28,117
Entitled in a way I've long tolerated,
637
00:30:28,118 --> 00:30:29,285
but no longer can.
638
00:30:29,286 --> 00:30:30,954
All the same, I'd appreciate it
639
00:30:30,995 --> 00:30:33,039
if you left him alone,
spared him further harassment.
640
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:34,707
He's a Michael Prince Capital investor,
641
00:30:34,749 --> 00:30:36,668
and as such,
I'd hate to see him in court
642
00:30:36,669 --> 00:30:38,461
on the other end of one of your actions.
643
00:30:38,462 --> 00:30:40,338
Wouldn't look good for you or me.
644
00:30:40,339 --> 00:30:42,465
Why not good for me, Michael?
645
00:30:42,466 --> 00:30:44,592
I mean, you'd be coming
after a place that manages
646
00:30:44,634 --> 00:30:45,844
your father's money.
647
00:30:45,885 --> 00:30:47,011
Good chunk of it, anyway.
648
00:30:47,053 --> 00:30:50,390
He left it in after Axelrod took off.
649
00:30:53,476 --> 00:30:54,644
But, sure, worse for me.
650
00:30:55,824 --> 00:30:59,107
Because when it comes
to Michael Prince Capital,
651
00:30:59,148 --> 00:31:01,359
I need it to be...
652
00:31:01,401 --> 00:31:02,861
I need to be
653
00:31:02,862 --> 00:31:05,405
reputationally pristine.
654
00:31:17,584 --> 00:31:21,880
I find myself unwilling to help you.
655
00:31:21,921 --> 00:31:25,383
And when it comes
to your client, Revere...
656
00:31:25,884 --> 00:31:27,468
you hold his money,
657
00:31:27,510 --> 00:31:29,929
you hold the whole bag.
658
00:31:32,098 --> 00:31:34,809
It's not Cincinnatus you're
fashioning yourself after,
659
00:31:34,851 --> 00:31:35,977
I get that now.
660
00:31:36,019 --> 00:31:37,896
It's more Manius Curius Dentatus.
661
00:31:37,937 --> 00:31:40,815
"I see no glory in having money myself,
662
00:31:40,857 --> 00:31:43,693
but in commanding those that do."
663
00:31:47,697 --> 00:31:50,283
I'm less interested in speaking Latin
664
00:31:50,325 --> 00:31:52,285
than in speaking the truth.
665
00:31:54,579 --> 00:31:56,456
Safe travels.
666
00:32:01,544 --> 00:32:02,712
You outta breath?
667
00:32:02,754 --> 00:32:04,839
Walking and talking.
668
00:32:04,881 --> 00:32:07,300
Walking...
669
00:32:07,342 --> 00:32:09,802
and talking.
670
00:32:09,844 --> 00:32:11,262
Rolling calls.
671
00:32:12,388 --> 00:32:13,890
What do you want, Sonny?
672
00:32:13,932 --> 00:32:15,433
Who are you talking to?
673
00:32:15,475 --> 00:32:16,601
You, Sonny.
674
00:32:16,602 --> 00:32:18,311
Why, I'm talking to you.
675
00:32:18,353 --> 00:32:19,896
Well, that's right.
676
00:32:19,897 --> 00:32:21,439
Only you're listening.
677
00:32:21,481 --> 00:32:23,334
And what you need to hear is
678
00:32:23,369 --> 00:32:25,571
take your money out of
Michael Prince Capital.
679
00:32:25,606 --> 00:32:27,362
Oh, that fella is sharp.
680
00:32:27,403 --> 00:32:29,405
Of mind and body.
681
00:32:29,447 --> 00:32:30,615
And I'm riding along
682
00:32:30,616 --> 00:32:34,160
expecting some sweet returns.
683
00:32:34,702 --> 00:32:37,163
But thanks for checking in.
684
00:32:43,962 --> 00:32:46,881
It really is ideal habitat.
685
00:32:46,882 --> 00:32:48,841
But I don't see any evidence
of actual habitation.
686
00:32:48,842 --> 00:32:52,261
Mm-hmm. Ah, ah. Look. Look it.
687
00:32:53,638 --> 00:32:55,223
Now look.
688
00:32:55,224 --> 00:32:58,017
Those are shell fragments
from his cannonballs.
689
00:32:58,018 --> 00:33:00,979
Could this have something to do with it?
690
00:33:00,980 --> 00:33:03,231
It could, but who knows?
691
00:33:03,232 --> 00:33:06,401
There just aren't any bog
turtles in this area...
692
00:33:08,319 --> 00:33:09,445
Hey, hey.
693
00:33:09,487 --> 00:33:12,782
Hey, hold it right there, all right?
694
00:33:12,824 --> 00:33:14,951
- This is private property.
- For sure.
695
00:33:14,993 --> 00:33:16,744
I'm the neighbor.
My property's right over there.
696
00:33:16,745 --> 00:33:18,621
Sir, I'm well familiar
with the property line,
697
00:33:18,663 --> 00:33:19,872
and you're over it.
698
00:33:19,873 --> 00:33:20,999
Kindly return to your own land,
699
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:22,667
or the authorities will be called,
700
00:33:22,668 --> 00:33:24,711
and Mr. Revere will press charges.
701
00:33:24,752 --> 00:33:25,962
Copy. Roger that.
702
00:33:26,004 --> 00:33:28,047
Gotcha. Sure thing.
703
00:33:28,048 --> 00:33:31,009
Will do and a pleasure talking to you.
704
00:33:36,055 --> 00:33:38,824
So tell me about the projects
near and dear to your heart
705
00:33:38,859 --> 00:33:41,561
that could use a little
funding thrown behind them.
706
00:33:47,567 --> 00:33:50,361
Just back from what I call,
707
00:33:50,362 --> 00:33:52,864
"El Commish," the SEC,
708
00:33:52,905 --> 00:33:54,407
and thanks to my magie...
709
00:33:54,408 --> 00:33:55,950
Glad you sent me with him.
710
00:33:55,992 --> 00:33:57,326
It wasn't that easy.
711
00:33:57,368 --> 00:33:59,162
They slapped us with a
six-month probationary period
712
00:33:59,203 --> 00:34:01,998
due to red-flagged ongoing
business from before,
713
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,667
especially with ongoing
investors still aboard.
714
00:34:04,709 --> 00:34:06,377
They want to send a message.
715
00:34:06,378 --> 00:34:07,587
But like I was saying,
716
00:34:07,588 --> 00:34:10,048
thanks to my magie, there were no fines
717
00:34:10,089 --> 00:34:13,426
or sanctions,
merely a brief interlude...
718
00:34:13,427 --> 00:34:14,635
Unacceptable.
719
00:34:14,636 --> 00:34:16,512
If we want the Street,
the financial press,
720
00:34:16,554 --> 00:34:18,014
and the investors to stay with us,
721
00:34:18,015 --> 00:34:20,016
we need to be clean. Beyond reproach.
722
00:34:20,058 --> 00:34:21,684
Hey, one thing I've learned:
723
00:34:21,685 --> 00:34:23,186
no one, especially investors,
724
00:34:23,227 --> 00:34:25,021
gives crap number one about any of this.
725
00:34:25,063 --> 00:34:27,273
They just want to know their
returns are Street-leading.
726
00:34:27,274 --> 00:34:28,983
They might say they care about ethics,
727
00:34:29,025 --> 00:34:31,569
but as long as the SEC
lets us keep the lights on
728
00:34:31,611 --> 00:34:32,695
and we keep the numbers up,
729
00:34:32,737 --> 00:34:34,447
in terms that you would understand,
730
00:34:34,448 --> 00:34:36,240
it's like Tarkanian in Vegas.
731
00:34:38,159 --> 00:34:39,702
Did you tell him to use that line?
732
00:34:39,744 --> 00:34:42,580
No. He must be doing some
reading on the outside.
733
00:34:42,622 --> 00:34:43,873
But his point still stands.
734
00:34:43,915 --> 00:34:46,292
Investors just want wins.
735
00:34:50,046 --> 00:34:53,049
If you won't do the full-fat,
full-protein version,
736
00:34:53,091 --> 00:34:56,385
gimme at least some leaned-down
coaching on a specific.
737
00:34:56,427 --> 00:34:58,387
Business. Not personal.
738
00:34:58,388 --> 00:34:59,806
I am getting paid.
739
00:34:59,807 --> 00:35:01,599
And that is the job for which.
740
00:35:01,641 --> 00:35:03,748
So... yeah.
741
00:35:03,783 --> 00:35:05,895
I need to get to the right
decision and approach.
742
00:35:05,896 --> 00:35:07,230
Here's the fact pattern.
743
00:35:07,271 --> 00:35:09,774
Michael Prince Capital is
not off to a banner start.
744
00:35:09,816 --> 00:35:12,318
Morale ain't great here at the moment.
745
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:13,528
And the culture...
746
00:35:13,569 --> 00:35:15,279
the legacy culture is even worse.
747
00:35:15,321 --> 00:35:18,991
Now codified by a regulatory black eye.
748
00:35:18,992 --> 00:35:20,868
And the clients.
749
00:35:20,910 --> 00:35:22,328
How do I keep 'em rolling with me
750
00:35:22,370 --> 00:35:24,580
when I can't even spin
to the group of people
751
00:35:24,622 --> 00:35:25,832
showing up here each day?
752
00:35:25,873 --> 00:35:28,084
What if you tack with
the prevailing winds?
753
00:35:28,126 --> 00:35:30,795
And don't try to stay big or get bigger.
754
00:35:30,837 --> 00:35:32,130
At first.
755
00:35:33,138 --> 00:35:34,841
Shrink capital under management?
Is that what you're...
756
00:35:34,842 --> 00:35:36,801
You have a move that
bold in your arsenal?
757
00:35:36,843 --> 00:35:39,679
I don't know. It's not
the house number in this racket.
758
00:35:39,720 --> 00:35:41,013
Sure isn't.
759
00:35:41,014 --> 00:35:42,807
But what if we weren't
attached to the way
760
00:35:42,808 --> 00:35:44,433
it's always been done?
761
00:35:44,434 --> 00:35:46,727
Or to the results.
762
00:35:46,728 --> 00:35:48,855
Or to the feeling we get from
763
00:35:48,856 --> 00:35:49,856
having the most.
764
00:35:49,857 --> 00:35:51,774
What if we detach from all that?
765
00:35:51,775 --> 00:35:53,901
And instead think about...
766
00:35:53,943 --> 00:35:57,488
the process,
the holistic form of the place.
767
00:36:02,994 --> 00:36:06,664
What would be the final
goal of something like that?
768
00:36:16,257 --> 00:36:19,051
When things reach their
ideal Platonic form,
769
00:36:19,093 --> 00:36:21,053
they tend to function well.
770
00:36:21,054 --> 00:36:23,514
And the endpoint reveals itself.
771
00:36:24,891 --> 00:36:26,726
If you don't like the legacy,
772
00:36:26,727 --> 00:36:28,853
change out everything from that legacy.
773
00:36:28,854 --> 00:36:30,438
I'm still just trying to figure out
774
00:36:30,439 --> 00:36:32,982
the right investment approach
given the parameters
775
00:36:33,024 --> 00:36:34,192
of the world right now.
776
00:36:34,193 --> 00:36:35,860
And our need to color inside the lines.
777
00:36:35,902 --> 00:36:39,238
Maybe for the first time in
the history of this place.
778
00:36:40,323 --> 00:36:42,074
If you have investment problems,
779
00:36:42,075 --> 00:36:43,910
talk to your best
investment professional.
780
00:36:43,911 --> 00:36:45,203
I believe I tried.
Believe they didn't seem
781
00:36:45,204 --> 00:36:46,996
interested in talking to me.
782
00:36:47,038 --> 00:36:48,956
What if it were their beliefs
you needed to change?
783
00:36:48,957 --> 00:36:52,126
About who you are,
about the lengths you're willing to go.
784
00:36:52,168 --> 00:36:54,462
And what if you were able to show them
785
00:36:54,503 --> 00:36:58,382
what happens when someone
doesn't do it your way?
786
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:02,720
That's advanced.
787
00:37:10,061 --> 00:37:12,813
I finally figured out how
you can be of utility to me.
788
00:37:12,814 --> 00:37:15,316
Ah, my life's dream, fulfilled.
789
00:37:15,358 --> 00:37:18,986
You are sassier than Claudia
Conway on Mother's Day.
790
00:37:18,987 --> 00:37:20,613
Okay.
791
00:37:20,614 --> 00:37:21,864
We haven't done the dance yet.
792
00:37:21,865 --> 00:37:25,076
I guess this is us about to do it.
793
00:37:25,117 --> 00:37:27,119
I'm your object lesson to them, huh?
794
00:37:27,161 --> 00:37:31,207
Shitcan my ass, they get
scared and get 'er done for you.
795
00:37:31,208 --> 00:37:32,750
This was never gonna work.
796
00:37:32,792 --> 00:37:35,127
But I'm not going to pay you in full.
797
00:37:35,169 --> 00:37:37,797
Axe may have set a booby
trap with your deal...
798
00:37:37,838 --> 00:37:39,173
Oh, he did.
799
00:37:39,174 --> 00:37:40,549
He rigged a real Bouncing Betty.
800
00:37:40,550 --> 00:37:43,010
$80 million dollars after
the sale upon my firing.
801
00:37:43,011 --> 00:37:45,513
So if you are here
with a pink slip, I accept.
802
00:37:45,554 --> 00:37:47,932
But nothing if you quit
or get fired for cause.
803
00:37:47,933 --> 00:37:49,267
Which is why I'm clocking in and out
804
00:37:49,308 --> 00:37:50,935
like I'm on the factory floor at GM.
805
00:37:50,977 --> 00:37:52,979
And I would even pass
a piss test right now.
806
00:37:52,980 --> 00:37:54,563
Sure, I get it,
you're not gonna give us cause.
807
00:37:54,605 --> 00:37:56,440
But, by the same token,
I'm not going to do you
808
00:37:56,482 --> 00:37:58,943
the favor of firing you to
the tune of 80 million bucks.
809
00:37:58,985 --> 00:38:00,861
Why not? You can afford it.
810
00:38:00,862 --> 00:38:02,590
But not how I do business. So.
811
00:38:03,190 --> 00:38:04,190
Let's haggle.
812
00:38:04,191 --> 00:38:06,742
Eighty cents on the dollar.
I walk for 64.
813
00:38:06,743 --> 00:38:08,786
Ten cents on the dollar.
814
00:38:08,787 --> 00:38:09,870
Eight million?
815
00:38:09,871 --> 00:38:12,123
I wipe my ass with eight million.
816
00:38:12,124 --> 00:38:13,916
Nine if I've had an a�ai bowl.
817
00:38:13,958 --> 00:38:16,127
- Seventy.
- Twenty.
818
00:38:16,128 --> 00:38:19,171
You're only succeeding at
strengthening my resolve.
819
00:38:19,213 --> 00:38:20,840
I see that.
820
00:38:22,008 --> 00:38:23,551
Look, I give you forty million.
821
00:38:23,592 --> 00:38:27,763
We're free, but it sucks
a little for both of us.
822
00:38:27,805 --> 00:38:29,807
The definition of a real compromise.
823
00:38:29,849 --> 00:38:31,851
So, agreed?
824
00:38:37,648 --> 00:38:40,026
Oh, damn,
825
00:38:40,067 --> 00:38:42,903
this isn't really about the money.
826
00:38:42,904 --> 00:38:44,864
You need this job.
827
00:38:44,865 --> 00:38:47,074
The place to go,
828
00:38:47,075 --> 00:38:48,659
the sense of purpose.
829
00:38:48,701 --> 00:38:50,077
Maybe it's the ticker scare,
830
00:38:50,119 --> 00:38:52,288
but I'm thinking money
isn't the main thing.
831
00:38:53,035 --> 00:38:54,874
Or maybe it's that I'm
greedier than I thought,
832
00:38:54,915 --> 00:38:58,327
and want all of it. But I
833
00:38:58,794 --> 00:39:01,922
don't think I'm gonna settle.
834
00:39:01,923 --> 00:39:03,007
Nope.
835
00:39:03,049 --> 00:39:04,592
I'm gonna hold out for the full pop.
836
00:39:04,633 --> 00:39:07,094
And, yes, you could put me
out to pasture and pay me,
837
00:39:07,136 --> 00:39:10,222
but here's what you don't know...
838
00:39:10,264 --> 00:39:12,058
Get Scooter in here.
839
00:39:22,943 --> 00:39:25,321
Tell me what you've
learned about the team.
840
00:39:25,322 --> 00:39:28,908
Victor Mateo comes off
streetwise but went to Yale.
841
00:39:28,949 --> 00:39:31,827
Low double-digit returns
average over his career.
842
00:39:31,869 --> 00:39:33,913
Ben Kim, Stanford grad.
843
00:39:33,954 --> 00:39:35,206
Solid fundamental approach.
844
00:39:35,247 --> 00:39:36,624
Risk averse, but improving.
845
00:39:36,665 --> 00:39:40,086
Tuk Lal, close immigrant family,
overachiever.
846
00:39:40,127 --> 00:39:41,379
Bonnie Barella,
847
00:39:41,380 --> 00:39:43,506
a bit uncommitted,
has gone firm to firm...
848
00:39:43,547 --> 00:39:44,548
You done?
849
00:39:44,590 --> 00:39:47,968
Because you could get that
weak shit from LinkedIn.
850
00:39:47,969 --> 00:39:50,221
The things you don't know are,
851
00:39:50,688 --> 00:39:53,282
Victor acts like he's a
capo in the 6th Mob family
852
00:39:53,317 --> 00:39:55,434
but translates French
literature in his spare time
853
00:39:55,435 --> 00:39:57,061
and he has taken a personal vow
854
00:39:57,103 --> 00:39:58,687
never to have a down
year for his clients
855
00:39:58,688 --> 00:40:00,856
because that's how he
proves to his dead father
856
00:40:00,898 --> 00:40:03,025
he's the better man.
857
00:40:03,067 --> 00:40:04,735
Ben Kim got a perfect score on his SATs,
858
00:40:04,736 --> 00:40:07,154
but he feels like he's the
dumb one in his family.
859
00:40:07,196 --> 00:40:10,153
His mother's alive,
but she already haunts him.
860
00:40:10,188 --> 00:40:12,785
That nice guy thing is
cloaking a giant ambition
861
00:40:12,827 --> 00:40:15,830
that needs to be unleashed.
862
00:40:15,871 --> 00:40:17,039
Tuk Lal. He tried to date
863
00:40:17,081 --> 00:40:18,916
the prettiest girl in his high school,
864
00:40:18,958 --> 00:40:20,251
but she fucking crushed him.
865
00:40:20,252 --> 00:40:21,502
Told him he was a loser.
866
00:40:21,544 --> 00:40:23,254
He's desperately afraid she's right,
867
00:40:23,255 --> 00:40:25,131
and won't stop until he's rich as Gatsby
868
00:40:25,172 --> 00:40:26,298
to prove her wrong.
869
00:40:26,299 --> 00:40:28,008
And Bonnie, she is tribal.
870
00:40:28,050 --> 00:40:29,343
She hates outsiders
871
00:40:29,344 --> 00:40:32,054
and considers basically
everyone an outsider.
872
00:40:32,096 --> 00:40:33,431
But once you're in,
873
00:40:33,472 --> 00:40:36,183
you'll see that under that
pistachio shell exterior,
874
00:40:36,184 --> 00:40:37,476
she's got a giant heart,
875
00:40:37,477 --> 00:40:39,186
and she'll protect you
like a mama badger.
876
00:40:39,228 --> 00:40:41,543
Oh, and she's terrified
of ending up alone,
877
00:40:41,578 --> 00:40:43,774
which can be marshaled
into making her into an earner
878
00:40:43,816 --> 00:40:45,901
of the first fucking order.
879
00:40:47,069 --> 00:40:48,612
Damn.
880
00:40:48,613 --> 00:40:49,905
Okay.
881
00:40:49,947 --> 00:40:51,824
Okay. We get the point.
882
00:40:51,825 --> 00:40:53,534
You know what moves the squad,
883
00:40:53,535 --> 00:40:55,035
what makes them rattle and hum.
884
00:40:55,036 --> 00:40:56,162
That's right.
885
00:40:56,203 --> 00:41:00,499
And also... Yes.
886
00:41:02,799 --> 00:41:05,337
I need this place.
887
00:41:05,379 --> 00:41:08,507
Like Gere needed OCS in Gent.
888
00:41:08,549 --> 00:41:10,926
But you fuckers need me too.
889
00:41:10,927 --> 00:41:11,927
Maybe.
890
00:41:11,969 --> 00:41:14,221
But trust is the problem.
891
00:41:14,222 --> 00:41:17,141
Oh, over time,
892
00:41:17,142 --> 00:41:19,477
I'm sure you'll earn my trust.
893
00:41:22,229 --> 00:41:24,648
They keep saying that.
894
00:41:29,612 --> 00:41:31,155
You said you wanted to see us.
895
00:41:31,156 --> 00:41:34,200
Yes, my old friends...
896
00:41:34,201 --> 00:41:36,535
Listen, you motherfuckers,
897
00:41:36,577 --> 00:41:39,955
it's being said I've
outlived my utility,
898
00:41:39,997 --> 00:41:41,290
that I'm a right-hand man
899
00:41:41,332 --> 00:41:42,791
in search of a man to be that hand to.
900
00:41:42,792 --> 00:41:45,211
But I am not done.
901
00:41:45,212 --> 00:41:46,420
I've still got some fight left,
902
00:41:46,462 --> 00:41:49,048
some money to make,
and a next act to play.
903
00:41:49,049 --> 00:41:50,341
Maybe you're all still upset
904
00:41:50,342 --> 00:41:51,926
that things aren't like they were.
905
00:41:51,967 --> 00:41:53,844
Bwah-fucking-hah. Get over it.
906
00:41:53,845 --> 00:41:56,597
We've got a new general.
And while I too have been burned
907
00:41:56,639 --> 00:41:58,349
by the rug pull and the spying,
908
00:41:58,390 --> 00:42:00,643
well, that worked out for me, I guess.
909
00:42:01,557 --> 00:42:02,728
You'd better get in fucking step
910
00:42:02,770 --> 00:42:04,563
and start acting like the mercenary army
911
00:42:04,564 --> 00:42:07,107
of professional moneymakers that you are
912
00:42:07,108 --> 00:42:08,400
and get set to kill for him,
913
00:42:08,442 --> 00:42:10,861
or else this place is going to turn into
914
00:42:10,862 --> 00:42:12,738
Parris Fucking Island.
915
00:42:12,739 --> 00:42:15,908
- What's that...
- Look it up!
916
00:42:19,036 --> 00:42:21,539
Just having a team-building exercise.
917
00:42:21,580 --> 00:42:25,417
Ready to start rowing in the
same fucking direction, sir.
918
00:42:25,459 --> 00:42:27,670
Excited about it!
919
00:42:27,671 --> 00:42:30,589
We're gonna need everyone downstairs.
920
00:42:32,258 --> 00:42:34,134
I thought Sam Kinison died.
921
00:42:34,176 --> 00:42:37,721
Wags 2.0 requires the next update.
922
00:42:40,182 --> 00:42:42,226
'Bout fucking time someone showed
923
00:42:42,227 --> 00:42:44,103
some clankers around here.
924
00:42:44,144 --> 00:42:45,729
I'd like to welcome all of you,
925
00:42:45,771 --> 00:42:48,399
our investors who have
placed such trust in our firm
926
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:49,567
over the years.
927
00:42:49,568 --> 00:42:52,194
Even before it was this specific firm.
928
00:42:52,236 --> 00:42:54,664
One of the things I brought
to our organization
929
00:42:54,704 --> 00:42:57,032
is a moral barometer.
930
00:42:57,074 --> 00:42:58,909
I understand that these employees
931
00:42:58,951 --> 00:43:00,327
give many of you comfort.
932
00:43:00,369 --> 00:43:02,246
They've managed your money well.
933
00:43:02,288 --> 00:43:03,497
They've grown it.
934
00:43:03,539 --> 00:43:06,584
They've protected you
against downside exposure.
935
00:43:06,625 --> 00:43:09,003
But things must develop
936
00:43:09,004 --> 00:43:11,589
and evolve and change,
937
00:43:11,590 --> 00:43:14,091
and I can no longer
allow this place to be
938
00:43:14,092 --> 00:43:17,261
peopled with compromised individuals.
939
00:43:20,222 --> 00:43:21,807
Do I fire them all?
940
00:43:23,309 --> 00:43:24,685
Start clean?
941
00:43:24,727 --> 00:43:27,646
Even as I have made a
promise to lift them up
942
00:43:27,688 --> 00:43:30,691
and train them in my
way of doing things?
943
00:43:30,733 --> 00:43:33,485
Or is there another way
to rebuild, retool?
944
00:43:33,486 --> 00:43:35,863
Another attachment to cast off?
945
00:43:35,864 --> 00:43:38,115
I would love if there
were a different way
946
00:43:38,116 --> 00:43:39,325
instead of firing us.
947
00:43:39,326 --> 00:43:40,576
Why don't you shut the hell up.
948
00:43:40,618 --> 00:43:42,536
- No.
- None of that, Victor.
949
00:43:42,578 --> 00:43:45,956
Enough firepower is
pointed in his direction.
950
00:43:45,998 --> 00:43:48,459
In all of your direction.
951
00:43:48,460 --> 00:43:49,877
And if I fired all of you,
952
00:43:49,878 --> 00:43:52,200
but kept the incentive
structure the same,
953
00:43:52,235 --> 00:43:54,340
the next batch of analysts
and portfolio managers
954
00:43:54,341 --> 00:43:56,717
would end up in the exact same place.
955
00:43:56,759 --> 00:43:59,261
It's the root cause that has to shift.
956
00:43:59,262 --> 00:44:01,972
Uh, in what way, Prince?
957
00:44:04,808 --> 00:44:07,811
Let's look at the prevailing winds.
958
00:44:10,981 --> 00:44:14,943
The prevailing feeling in
the country about wealth.
959
00:44:15,694 --> 00:44:17,946
I think it's largely right.
960
00:44:17,947 --> 00:44:19,490
Too much is concentrated
961
00:44:19,491 --> 00:44:21,450
in the hands of too few.
962
00:44:21,451 --> 00:44:23,452
But let's not blame those who manage
963
00:44:23,453 --> 00:44:24,787
that wealth for them.
964
00:44:24,828 --> 00:44:27,665
Let's instead look to those
who profit the most.
965
00:44:27,706 --> 00:44:29,625
As one of them,
I understand the temptation
966
00:44:29,667 --> 00:44:31,502
more than almost anyone can.
967
00:44:31,503 --> 00:44:32,753
And it's true.
968
00:44:32,754 --> 00:44:35,631
Many of the wealthiest have
misused their resources.
969
00:44:35,632 --> 00:44:38,384
Many have cut corners.
970
00:44:39,385 --> 00:44:41,261
We will not.
971
00:44:41,303 --> 00:44:43,138
In fact, we won't take their money.
972
00:44:43,139 --> 00:44:46,141
I'm not firing them, my employees.
973
00:44:46,142 --> 00:44:48,185
I'm firing you, my investors.
974
00:44:48,227 --> 00:44:50,437
Which is why I've called you all in.
975
00:44:50,438 --> 00:44:53,190
We have checks drawn and
wire confirmations on hand
976
00:44:53,191 --> 00:44:54,483
for your redemptions.
977
00:44:54,525 --> 00:44:56,568
Thank you for your business,
and should you reach
978
00:44:56,610 --> 00:44:58,654
our new standards
for ethics in business,
979
00:44:58,696 --> 00:45:01,031
perhaps we'll meet again.
980
00:45:02,074 --> 00:45:03,242
Mr. Rhoades.
981
00:45:03,283 --> 00:45:05,536
This is no mark against your character.
982
00:45:05,577 --> 00:45:07,830
But I can't keep you either.
983
00:45:08,789 --> 00:45:10,749
You're giving me the bum's rush?
984
00:45:10,791 --> 00:45:12,501
I think it's best for
your familial harmony
985
00:45:12,543 --> 00:45:15,254
and our morale right here.
Thank you for your belief.
986
00:45:15,295 --> 00:45:18,215
If this is some leftover
rancor against my son,
987
00:45:18,216 --> 00:45:19,425
know this,
988
00:45:19,426 --> 00:45:21,009
my little Willow will grow up
989
00:45:21,051 --> 00:45:24,513
with revenge on her mind.
990
00:45:24,555 --> 00:45:26,473
Like Beatrix Kiddo?
991
00:45:26,515 --> 00:45:28,225
If that's some young girl
992
00:45:28,267 --> 00:45:31,228
squaring family accounts and some such,
993
00:45:31,229 --> 00:45:33,897
then fuck yes.
994
00:45:33,939 --> 00:45:36,327
Melville, thank you for your business.
995
00:45:36,362 --> 00:45:38,838
Hold on a second,
I'm in a wholly different...
996
00:45:38,873 --> 00:45:39,878
Different but the same.
997
00:45:39,978 --> 00:45:42,197
The controversy you're in the middle of,
it's too hot,
998
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:43,615
and you're on the wrong side of it.
999
00:45:43,657 --> 00:45:44,908
But it's also your company.
1000
00:45:46,090 --> 00:45:47,685
We don't want a security contractor
1001
00:45:47,720 --> 00:45:49,663
who sells pepper spray and
rubber bullets around here.
1002
00:45:49,705 --> 00:45:51,749
We don't want to make you richer.
1003
00:45:51,750 --> 00:45:54,376
Well, I give not a shit.
1004
00:45:54,418 --> 00:45:57,254
There are 100s of companies
who will beg for my money!
1005
00:45:57,255 --> 00:46:00,716
- They will. No doubt.
- He-he.
1006
00:46:00,758 --> 00:46:04,553
But I am hereby creating
The Prince List,
1007
00:46:04,554 --> 00:46:06,722
which involves shedding
all the dirty capital
1008
00:46:06,764 --> 00:46:08,432
currently invested.
1009
00:46:09,351 --> 00:46:11,393
From now on,
1010
00:46:11,394 --> 00:46:13,562
clients will have to
qualify to invest with us.
1011
00:46:13,563 --> 00:46:15,856
The SEC has blessed this approach
1012
00:46:15,898 --> 00:46:19,109
and given us a clean bill of health.
1013
00:46:19,151 --> 00:46:20,402
We're flipping the paradigm.
1014
00:46:20,403 --> 00:46:22,571
Instead of proving our
worth to the investors,
1015
00:46:22,572 --> 00:46:24,490
our investors will have
to prove their worth.
1016
00:46:25,220 --> 00:46:27,159
As a pension fund. As a company.
1017
00:46:27,201 --> 00:46:28,452
As a union.
1018
00:46:28,494 --> 00:46:30,662
As a family.
1019
00:46:30,663 --> 00:46:32,498
As human beings.
1020
00:46:32,499 --> 00:46:34,833
We'll take a hit at first, to be sure.
1021
00:46:34,834 --> 00:46:36,710
But we'll be able to
hold our heads up high.
1022
00:46:36,752 --> 00:46:41,173
So we flake off what, like,
a third for appearances?
1023
00:46:41,215 --> 00:46:43,217
I'm not an appearances guy.
1024
00:46:43,258 --> 00:46:44,593
No.
1025
00:46:44,594 --> 00:46:47,971
We flake off every investor but one.
1026
00:46:48,013 --> 00:46:49,264
This one.
1027
00:46:49,265 --> 00:46:50,933
We like the New York Firefighters.
1028
00:46:50,974 --> 00:46:52,935
We'd like to keep investing for you.
1029
00:46:52,936 --> 00:46:55,813
Well, it's our pleasure to stay.
1030
00:46:59,733 --> 00:47:02,152
I'll let the rest of you head on out.
1031
00:47:09,618 --> 00:47:12,621
He's never leaned into
corner-cutting or dirty edge.
1032
00:47:12,622 --> 00:47:14,790
He's resisted it, in fact.
1033
00:47:14,791 --> 00:47:16,124
So he will ride with us,
1034
00:47:16,166 --> 00:47:19,336
and we will rewrite the
way this industry works.
1035
00:47:19,337 --> 00:47:22,840
And I'll need all of
you to help me do it.
1036
00:47:22,881 --> 00:47:25,509
And we'll do it together.
1037
00:47:25,551 --> 00:47:27,553
Oh, and so you know,
if you continue wearing your rings,
1038
00:47:27,554 --> 00:47:31,515
the data will be available only to you.
1039
00:47:31,516 --> 00:47:34,434
It may feel like we just cut
our capital by two-thirds,
1040
00:47:34,435 --> 00:47:35,894
but, remember,
1041
00:47:35,895 --> 00:47:38,146
the one thing billionaires hate
1042
00:47:38,147 --> 00:47:40,107
is being left out.
1043
00:47:40,148 --> 00:47:42,067
Excluded.
1044
00:47:42,109 --> 00:47:43,277
So sit back
1045
00:47:43,278 --> 00:47:47,072
and watch how badly people
want to get on the Prince List.
1046
00:47:56,331 --> 00:47:57,583
Ballsy fucking move!
1047
00:47:57,584 --> 00:48:00,377
That's a goddamned badass, right there.
1048
00:48:02,379 --> 00:48:04,381
You hope the billies will want in.
1049
00:48:04,382 --> 00:48:06,758
Damned straight.
1050
00:48:17,394 --> 00:48:20,272
That cannon has fired its last salvo!
1051
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:24,526
Now I have asked you all here to join me
1052
00:48:24,527 --> 00:48:26,361
in taking our town back!
1053
00:48:27,069 --> 00:48:29,948
Yeah!
1054
00:48:33,994 --> 00:48:35,954
You've caught me on the wrong day
1055
00:48:35,996 --> 00:48:37,372
for this brand of bullshit.
1056
00:48:37,414 --> 00:48:40,626
Excuse me, let me explain.
1057
00:48:42,002 --> 00:48:44,463
Mr. Revere,
I'm from the State Department
1058
00:48:44,464 --> 00:48:46,006
of Environmental Conservation.
1059
00:48:46,007 --> 00:48:48,759
Endangered bog turtles
have been discovered
1060
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:50,719
nesting in your marshland.
1061
00:48:56,725 --> 00:48:58,185
It's wonderful news.
1062
00:48:58,703 --> 00:49:01,307
But it certainly won't allow for
any more of this cannon fire.
1063
00:49:01,342 --> 00:49:03,899
This is a Temporary Restraining Order,
1064
00:49:03,941 --> 00:49:06,276
ceasing their fire.
1065
00:49:08,028 --> 00:49:09,613
You don't think I got where I am
1066
00:49:09,614 --> 00:49:11,490
by just accepting other people's visions
1067
00:49:11,491 --> 00:49:12,741
for how I live my life, do you?
1068
00:49:12,783 --> 00:49:14,701
- Sir, I don't care...
- The answer to that
1069
00:49:14,743 --> 00:49:19,331
is a stiff-necked Yankee "fuck no."
1070
00:49:19,332 --> 00:49:20,749
Nat, what the hell is going on?
1071
00:49:20,750 --> 00:49:22,584
Are you really going to let this...
1072
00:49:22,626 --> 00:49:24,920
interloper come in here
1073
00:49:24,921 --> 00:49:26,004
and mess with a local?
1074
00:49:26,046 --> 00:49:27,881
I'm fabric of the community.
1075
00:49:27,923 --> 00:49:29,925
None of them has ever complained.
1076
00:49:29,967 --> 00:49:31,760
Well, Melville, that's the thing,
1077
00:49:31,802 --> 00:49:33,804
the whole town has signed a petition.
1078
00:49:33,805 --> 00:49:35,263
They want it to stop.
1079
00:49:35,264 --> 00:49:36,390
I want it to stop.
1080
00:49:36,431 --> 00:49:38,058
Well, I'll have my day in court,
1081
00:49:38,100 --> 00:49:39,810
and we'll see if this
bullshit holds up...
1082
00:49:39,851 --> 00:49:41,103
Take your best shot, sir.
1083
00:49:41,104 --> 00:49:42,980
But the courts are very supportive
1084
00:49:43,021 --> 00:49:44,564
of threatened species...
1085
00:49:44,606 --> 00:49:46,066
You're going to be a
threatened goddamned species
1086
00:49:46,108 --> 00:49:47,776
if you don't get off my property.
1087
00:49:47,818 --> 00:49:49,653
Now that right there
1088
00:49:49,695 --> 00:49:51,655
is a species unto itself:
1089
00:49:51,697 --> 00:49:54,199
the entitled billionaire.
1090
00:49:55,659 --> 00:49:59,287
He and those like him are
why I find myself farming
1091
00:49:59,329 --> 00:50:00,914
and not prosecuting.
1092
00:50:01,779 --> 00:50:03,125
Because while I might
be able to tangle with
1093
00:50:03,126 --> 00:50:04,918
and prevail against a billionaire
1094
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:06,837
as a private citizen
1095
00:50:06,878 --> 00:50:08,839
with common sense
1096
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:10,090
in the name of nature
1097
00:50:10,132 --> 00:50:12,092
and the will of these fine people
1098
00:50:12,134 --> 00:50:13,719
by my side...
1099
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:15,646
...I certainly can't
as the Attorney General
1100
00:50:15,720 --> 00:50:17,639
of the State of New York
1101
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:21,393
with the pathetic laws at my disposal.
1102
00:50:26,148 --> 00:50:28,525
Oh, and you all be sure to drop by
1103
00:50:28,526 --> 00:50:30,610
and try my sweet corn when it comes in.
1104
00:50:35,574 --> 00:50:37,784
Hook 'em up, get 'em out of here.
1105
00:50:37,785 --> 00:50:40,412
That's right! Ha ha!
1106
00:50:44,833 --> 00:50:46,668
You wanted your war, you got it.
1107
00:50:52,883 --> 00:50:56,094
Ah, what do you say to one
last for old time's sake?
1108
00:51:02,809 --> 00:51:04,770
Fire in the hole.
1109
