WWW.MY-SUBS.CO
1
00:00:04,713 --> 00:00:06,673
Previously on Billions.
2
00:00:06,715 --> 00:00:08,341
I'm not Axe. I'm different.
3
00:00:08,383 --> 00:00:11,469
And I'm willing to put the time
and effort in to prove that to you.
4
00:00:11,511 --> 00:00:13,013
With Axe, I didn't have to pretend
5
00:00:13,054 --> 00:00:14,931
I was making glittery cupcakes
6
00:00:14,973 --> 00:00:17,183
while shivving a motherfucker
who needed shivving.
7
00:00:17,225 --> 00:00:19,978
Maybe Prince's way is more powerful.
8
00:00:20,020 --> 00:00:21,688
Welcome to Michael Prince Capital, Kate.
9
00:00:21,730 --> 00:00:23,148
Where do I work?
10
00:00:23,189 --> 00:00:24,899
There comes a time, Lucien,
11
00:00:24,941 --> 00:00:26,651
when ideology meets reality.
12
00:00:26,693 --> 00:00:28,403
Even in the newspaper business.
13
00:00:28,445 --> 00:00:32,157
I want your comment on
the story I am running.
14
00:00:32,198 --> 00:00:34,034
We both share the same vision
15
00:00:34,075 --> 00:00:37,537
of what a Summer Games in
New York should look like.
16
00:00:37,579 --> 00:00:39,372
I thrive in peacetime.
17
00:00:39,414 --> 00:00:43,710
But the best way to peace is
through overwhelming force.
18
00:00:43,752 --> 00:00:45,378
The 2028 Games
19
00:00:45,420 --> 00:00:47,714
can no longer be held in New York City.
20
00:00:47,756 --> 00:00:49,049
Chuck can be removed as AG.
21
00:00:49,090 --> 00:00:50,425
How do we pull the lever?
22
00:00:50,467 --> 00:00:51,885
Charles Rhoades Junior
23
00:00:51,926 --> 00:00:53,261
is hereby removed as attorney general
24
00:00:53,303 --> 00:00:54,596
of the State of New York.
25
00:00:54,637 --> 00:00:56,473
The Senate names Miss Daevisha Mahar
26
00:00:56,514 --> 00:00:58,266
as acting attorney general
27
00:00:58,308 --> 00:01:00,310
for the remainder of Mr. Rhoades' term.
28
00:01:00,351 --> 00:01:02,896
You want to know why Axe
is satisfied with freedom?
29
00:01:02,937 --> 00:01:04,814
Why Chuck is priapic for warfare?
30
00:01:04,856 --> 00:01:06,733
Because they are lesser Caesars.
31
00:01:06,775 --> 00:01:08,902
You want to be a greater Caesar?
32
00:01:08,943 --> 00:01:12,072
Michael fucking Prince
is running for president.
33
00:01:12,113 --> 00:01:14,741
President of the United
States of America.
34
00:01:14,783 --> 00:01:16,826
- And one of us...
- Both of us.
35
00:01:16,868 --> 00:01:19,412
...could be running Michael
Prince Capital very soon.
36
00:01:19,454 --> 00:01:21,414
For you to succeed
at being whatever it is
37
00:01:21,456 --> 00:01:23,083
you want to be,
you need to stop lying to yourself.
38
00:01:23,124 --> 00:01:25,418
Let's not forget about you
39
00:01:25,460 --> 00:01:27,253
and what you want out of all of this.
40
00:01:27,295 --> 00:01:29,255
Prince is funding
Mike Money with crypto.
41
00:01:29,297 --> 00:01:31,716
Ten incorrect attempts
and it'll encrypt itself,
42
00:01:31,758 --> 00:01:33,593
making it impossible to
access whatever's on it.
43
00:01:33,635 --> 00:01:36,930
If we go down this road,
one of you is ending up in jail.
44
00:01:38,973 --> 00:01:43,103
This night's cost me
$3.5 billion already.
45
00:01:43,144 --> 00:01:45,396
We're gonna destroy
Mike Prince together.
46
00:01:45,438 --> 00:01:47,148
The world will think
you're under indictment,
47
00:01:47,190 --> 00:01:50,610
right up until the minute
we lock Mike Prince up.
48
00:01:50,652 --> 00:01:51,778
You got a deal.
49
00:02:16,970 --> 00:02:19,013
Find me Wendy fucking Rhoades.
50
00:02:21,141 --> 00:02:23,143
She's actually here?!
51
00:02:38,324 --> 00:02:40,660
What is so fucking wrong about me
52
00:02:40,702 --> 00:02:44,080
that you're sure I shouldn't
be fucking president?
53
00:02:50,261 --> 00:02:52,904
_
54
00:04:21,928 --> 00:04:23,680
This is part two, Wendy.
55
00:04:24,329 --> 00:04:25,723
Just you and me.
56
00:04:25,765 --> 00:04:27,767
Part one was the day you grilled me
57
00:04:27,809 --> 00:04:29,394
right here all alone. This is...
58
00:04:29,435 --> 00:04:32,105
Part two, yeah. You said.
59
00:04:32,699 --> 00:04:33,856
I need to go deep.
60
00:04:34,459 --> 00:04:35,475
We do.
61
00:04:36,442 --> 00:04:38,361
That's my specialty.
62
00:04:38,403 --> 00:04:41,072
But now you need to do it for me.
63
00:04:41,114 --> 00:04:43,199
I've been doing a kind of internal
64
00:04:43,241 --> 00:04:45,451
chiropractic adjustment,
65
00:04:45,493 --> 00:04:47,578
trying to align myself to
find the parts in there
66
00:04:47,620 --> 00:04:49,622
that are fighting the whole, but...
67
00:04:49,664 --> 00:04:52,500
Yeah, you can't do that alone.
68
00:04:52,542 --> 00:04:54,460
But you could have just
walked through that door
69
00:04:54,502 --> 00:04:56,004
and asked me to dive in.
70
00:04:56,045 --> 00:04:57,797
Instead, you cleared the office. Why?
71
00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,799
Well, I can't just let anyone,
not even you,
72
00:04:59,841 --> 00:05:01,467
all the way inside without being sure.
73
00:05:01,509 --> 00:05:04,429
So you plan on interrogating
me the way I did you?
74
00:05:06,601 --> 00:05:09,392
- I pass.
- Don't think of it like that.
75
00:05:09,434 --> 00:05:11,477
Where I'm going, I need loyalists.
76
00:05:11,519 --> 00:05:14,522
Not blind loyalists,
open-eyed believers.
77
00:05:14,564 --> 00:05:16,524
Like Nirvana fans back in the day.
78
00:05:16,566 --> 00:05:19,068
No. Most of them didn't understand Kurt.
79
00:05:19,110 --> 00:05:21,321
I need to know that you get me.
80
00:05:21,864 --> 00:05:23,281
You want me to be your Courtney Love?
81
00:05:23,323 --> 00:05:24,824
No. My Dave Grohl.
82
00:05:24,866 --> 00:05:27,660
Lay down a monster beat
and keep me on it.
83
00:05:27,702 --> 00:05:30,246
Well, I could say
I wouldn't be standing here
84
00:05:30,288 --> 00:05:32,290
if I weren't prepared to.
85
00:05:32,332 --> 00:05:34,167
Uh, I'm not sure that's good enough.
86
00:05:36,294 --> 00:05:38,546
We need to get to your why.
87
00:05:41,007 --> 00:05:42,175
Here's a why.
88
00:05:44,218 --> 00:05:46,679
Why are you so confident
I'll play along?
89
00:05:46,721 --> 00:05:48,973
Why don't you think
I'll just turn around,
90
00:05:49,015 --> 00:05:50,475
pack out my desk and leave?
91
00:05:50,516 --> 00:05:52,185
Because I didn't sign up for this.
92
00:05:52,226 --> 00:05:54,020
Not many people would walk away
93
00:05:54,062 --> 00:05:55,188
from the kind of access
and power you'd have
94
00:05:55,229 --> 00:05:56,481
if you hang in close.
95
00:05:56,647 --> 00:05:58,399
You talking about your run for office?
96
00:06:01,110 --> 00:06:03,863
Twenty-eight is a long way off.
97
00:06:06,741 --> 00:06:08,076
Oh.
98
00:06:08,117 --> 00:06:09,827
Timeline's shifted.
99
00:06:09,869 --> 00:06:12,872
I'm going to do things differently, yes.
100
00:06:12,914 --> 00:06:15,083
I'm announcing on my own timeline.
101
00:06:15,124 --> 00:06:16,376
I'm going to run and win in...
102
00:06:16,417 --> 00:06:19,170
- 2024.
- I need it now.
103
00:06:19,212 --> 00:06:20,421
Before it's too late.
104
00:06:20,671 --> 00:06:22,757
Assuming I'll win, I'll need to know
105
00:06:22,799 --> 00:06:26,386
that I'm not just ready
for this job, but primed.
106
00:06:26,427 --> 00:06:29,180
I have blind spots. Everyone does.
107
00:06:29,222 --> 00:06:31,557
But I need to know that
you're in to expose them to me
108
00:06:31,599 --> 00:06:33,059
so that I can see and fix them.
109
00:06:33,989 --> 00:06:34,994
Fair enough.
110
00:06:38,272 --> 00:06:41,859
But I'm-I'm still not sure what
it is you need to hear from me.
111
00:06:42,626 --> 00:06:44,404
Well, start by finishing this sentence.
112
00:06:44,445 --> 00:06:46,406
"Michael Prince is..."
113
00:06:48,533 --> 00:06:52,245
Michael Prince is going
about this all wrong.
114
00:06:52,975 --> 00:06:54,205
Because instead of trying to extract
115
00:06:54,247 --> 00:06:56,249
a loyalty test from me,
116
00:06:56,290 --> 00:06:59,585
what he should be doing is
using every second of his life
117
00:06:59,627 --> 00:07:01,838
trying to convince me
and everyone like me
118
00:07:01,879 --> 00:07:04,257
that he's worthy of my investment.
119
00:07:05,383 --> 00:07:07,760
Look inward for sure.
120
00:07:08,177 --> 00:07:10,388
But look outward to engage all those
121
00:07:10,430 --> 00:07:11,764
you're gonna need to get you there.
122
00:07:11,806 --> 00:07:13,266
Just tell me this.
123
00:07:13,391 --> 00:07:14,934
Are you still capable
of getting it done?
124
00:07:14,976 --> 00:07:17,937
That is not what you
really want to know.
125
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,232
What is it you really want to know?
126
00:07:23,109 --> 00:07:25,319
Why is it so hard for
you to do it for me
127
00:07:25,361 --> 00:07:27,113
when it was so easy for you with Axe?
128
00:07:28,990 --> 00:07:30,783
No one would use the word "easy."
129
00:07:32,118 --> 00:07:34,162
But he was direct.
130
00:07:34,454 --> 00:07:37,081
He wanted the things he wanted.
131
00:07:37,123 --> 00:07:39,125
And once we cleared out
the inner conflicts,
132
00:07:39,167 --> 00:07:40,918
he just went after them and got them.
133
00:07:41,727 --> 00:07:44,630
So you turned him into
a targeted missile.
134
00:07:44,672 --> 00:07:47,633
Oh, I just tweaked the
guidance system a little.
135
00:07:47,675 --> 00:07:50,470
He was already a missile.
136
00:07:50,511 --> 00:07:53,222
You can't help but smile
as you talk about him.
137
00:07:54,474 --> 00:07:56,392
What is it that makes you smile
138
00:07:56,434 --> 00:07:57,810
when you think about
where you want to go?
139
00:08:00,895 --> 00:08:02,982
- We're starting.
- We are.
140
00:08:06,694 --> 00:08:09,447
So?
141
00:08:09,489 --> 00:08:11,365
Why are you the one right now,
this second,
142
00:08:11,407 --> 00:08:13,201
to do this?
143
00:08:13,242 --> 00:08:15,828
Not the stem-winder
you'll give on the hustings,
144
00:08:15,870 --> 00:08:17,079
but the real answer you give yourself
145
00:08:17,121 --> 00:08:18,831
in the mirror at 2:00 a.m.
146
00:08:23,377 --> 00:08:25,213
Because of my ruthlessness.
147
00:08:30,885 --> 00:08:32,220
Say more.
148
00:08:37,058 --> 00:08:38,309
Think of it this way.
149
00:08:38,351 --> 00:08:40,144
If you're out on a climb
150
00:08:40,186 --> 00:08:42,146
and you fall and break
your femur in half,
151
00:08:42,188 --> 00:08:44,148
you don't need someone who
knows how to talk a good game.
152
00:08:44,190 --> 00:08:46,108
You need someone who
knows how to fix it.
153
00:08:46,359 --> 00:08:48,653
Someone who's willing to
do what needs to be done,
154
00:08:48,694 --> 00:08:51,781
even when there's no
anesthesia out on the trail.
155
00:08:51,822 --> 00:08:54,450
Someone who will ignore
your screams of pain
156
00:08:54,492 --> 00:08:56,869
until the bone is set and ready to heal.
157
00:08:56,911 --> 00:08:58,538
That someone is me.
158
00:09:06,462 --> 00:09:08,214
And our country is the femur.
159
00:09:09,257 --> 00:09:10,716
Damn right it is.
160
00:09:11,174 --> 00:09:12,677
Strength.
161
00:09:14,095 --> 00:09:16,013
People want that when they
believe it's not put on,
162
00:09:16,055 --> 00:09:17,348
but real.
163
00:09:19,016 --> 00:09:20,768
People?
164
00:09:20,810 --> 00:09:23,104
Where it went wrong was when politicians
165
00:09:23,145 --> 00:09:24,647
thought they had to listen to people.
166
00:09:24,689 --> 00:09:26,440
Not smart people. Not educated people.
167
00:09:26,482 --> 00:09:28,192
Just people.
168
00:09:28,234 --> 00:09:29,443
There is such a thing as worthy dissent.
169
00:09:29,485 --> 00:09:30,903
The First Amendment.
170
00:09:31,112 --> 00:09:32,863
The Founders never
wanted a true democracy,
171
00:09:32,905 --> 00:09:35,908
but a constitutional republic.
You know this.
172
00:09:39,954 --> 00:09:42,373
So when you get there
to the Oval Office...
173
00:09:42,415 --> 00:09:44,041
Truman had a sign on his desk that said,
174
00:09:44,083 --> 00:09:45,918
"The buck stops here."
175
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,963
Mine's gonna say, "I am the buck."
176
00:10:03,227 --> 00:10:04,854
Let's fucking get you there.
177
00:10:07,231 --> 00:10:08,399
That's my girl.
178
00:10:08,441 --> 00:10:10,568
Uh, doctor. Uh...
179
00:10:10,610 --> 00:10:11,944
Yeah, you're on a different stage now,
180
00:10:11,986 --> 00:10:13,446
so don't do that.
181
00:10:13,487 --> 00:10:15,114
Copy.
182
00:10:18,159 --> 00:10:20,453
So you didn't clear the whole day.
183
00:10:20,494 --> 00:10:22,455
Oh, I knew you wouldn't need it.
184
00:10:22,496 --> 00:10:24,582
And I have someplace
I very much need to be.
185
00:10:46,562 --> 00:10:49,482
Wags, when was the last time
you had egg foo young?
186
00:10:49,523 --> 00:10:51,901
Old-school style with the pork just so?
187
00:10:51,942 --> 00:10:55,071
Because whenever that was,
the next time is tonight.
188
00:11:03,037 --> 00:11:05,164
My client has no prior felonies,
189
00:11:05,206 --> 00:11:06,832
no pending criminal matters.
190
00:11:06,874 --> 00:11:08,334
He's already surrendered his passport.
191
00:11:08,376 --> 00:11:11,629
Mr. Rhoades is a man of some renown,
192
00:11:11,671 --> 00:11:13,673
which makes flight even more unlikely.
193
00:11:13,714 --> 00:11:16,509
The GPS ankle monitor,
Judge, is an unnecessary
194
00:11:16,550 --> 00:11:18,094
and extraordinary measure.
195
00:11:18,135 --> 00:11:21,263
Well, Chuck and I go way back.
196
00:11:21,514 --> 00:11:24,517
And I know him to be an
extraordinary character.
197
00:11:24,558 --> 00:11:26,227
Thank you?
198
00:11:26,268 --> 00:11:28,187
Uh, Judge Wailand,
199
00:11:28,229 --> 00:11:29,689
I'd call you by your first name,
200
00:11:29,897 --> 00:11:31,482
but we don't want that kind
of thing on the record.
201
00:11:31,649 --> 00:11:34,151
You're treating me like
some kind of lamster.
202
00:11:34,193 --> 00:11:35,820
But fleeing jurisdiction is the move
203
00:11:35,861 --> 00:11:37,530
the guys I chase like to make.
204
00:11:37,571 --> 00:11:39,365
Please don't address the bench directly
205
00:11:39,407 --> 00:11:41,659
unless the bench addresses you...
206
00:11:43,077 --> 00:11:44,870
as I'm about to do.
207
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,915
But how, exactly,
208
00:11:47,957 --> 00:11:50,710
is this device causing
you undue trouble?
209
00:11:50,751 --> 00:11:55,673
You'd be still expected to
continue your supervised release
210
00:11:55,715 --> 00:11:58,592
and check-ins for pre-trial
services regardless.
211
00:11:58,634 --> 00:12:01,721
But this thing on my leg,
212
00:12:01,762 --> 00:12:04,890
what the kids call a Coney
Island Crunk-o-Meter,
213
00:12:04,932 --> 00:12:06,434
is chafing me.
214
00:12:07,393 --> 00:12:08,644
I am chafing.
215
00:12:08,686 --> 00:12:10,730
Emotionally and physically.
216
00:12:10,771 --> 00:12:12,815
Literally and figuratively,
217
00:12:12,857 --> 00:12:14,859
if the distinction even exists anymore,
218
00:12:14,900 --> 00:12:17,820
and I haven't been
convicted of a damn thing.
219
00:12:17,862 --> 00:12:20,239
I can't see how your itchiness
220
00:12:20,281 --> 00:12:22,825
is something this court
should be worried about.
221
00:12:23,989 --> 00:12:25,745
This is all going the
way it's supposed to.
222
00:12:25,786 --> 00:12:27,246
Yeah. Good. I see.
223
00:12:27,796 --> 00:12:28,848
But you called this meeting.
224
00:12:28,965 --> 00:12:31,208
Because, while I'd like to
think what I have is enough,
225
00:12:31,250 --> 00:12:32,877
this is Chuck we're dealing with.
226
00:12:32,918 --> 00:12:34,044
You don't think you have enough?
227
00:12:34,086 --> 00:12:35,629
Could always use more.
228
00:12:35,671 --> 00:12:37,757
I want to bring the garlic,
the crucifix,
229
00:12:37,798 --> 00:12:39,467
the stake through the heart.
230
00:12:39,675 --> 00:12:41,761
Well, there's plenty out there.
The guy's pathological.
231
00:12:41,802 --> 00:12:43,596
He has history with Taylor Mason,
232
00:12:43,637 --> 00:12:45,765
Wendy, obviously,
and others that used to work there.
233
00:12:45,806 --> 00:12:47,475
- And that's my company alone.
- Sure.
234
00:12:47,516 --> 00:12:49,435
Love to talk to them,
with your permission.
235
00:12:49,477 --> 00:12:52,271
Kate Sacker, too, if she's allowed.
236
00:12:52,313 --> 00:12:53,814
They might not be comfortable with it,
237
00:12:53,856 --> 00:12:55,399
but I'll let them know I am
238
00:12:55,441 --> 00:12:56,942
for the purposes of winning this.
239
00:12:56,984 --> 00:12:58,778
But once I open the door,
240
00:12:58,819 --> 00:13:00,279
it's up to you to get them talking.
241
00:13:02,615 --> 00:13:04,283
To that end, shouldn't you be there
242
00:13:04,325 --> 00:13:05,951
to make sure he doesn't win this thing?
243
00:13:05,993 --> 00:13:08,871
I know how this is going to go.
Request denied.
244
00:13:11,415 --> 00:13:12,917
Request denied.
245
00:13:15,425 --> 00:13:16,545
Let me know when that door is open.
246
00:13:30,184 --> 00:13:32,478
This is how you and Dave
drew it up, right?
247
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:33,813
Certain aspects of it, yeah.
248
00:13:33,854 --> 00:13:36,148
This is the hard stretch.
249
00:13:36,190 --> 00:13:38,651
This kind of reversal lends credibility.
250
00:13:38,692 --> 00:13:40,569
In a way, it's the best thing
that could've happened.
251
00:13:42,029 --> 00:13:43,697
So you say, partner.
252
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:54,208
What you got to understand is this.
253
00:13:54,250 --> 00:13:56,210
This is good news.
254
00:13:56,252 --> 00:13:58,170
This is the good news express
right here. Climb aboard.
255
00:13:58,212 --> 00:13:59,755
This is not what good news looks like.
256
00:13:59,922 --> 00:14:01,924
No. Good news at this place
comes via text or email,
257
00:14:01,966 --> 00:14:03,133
or is delivered by one of these men.
258
00:14:03,175 --> 00:14:05,928
When it's the two of them
coming in hot like Turner and Hooch...
259
00:14:05,970 --> 00:14:07,429
Who's the dog in that?
260
00:14:07,471 --> 00:14:09,306
- Whatever they're selling...
- Yes.
261
00:14:09,348 --> 00:14:11,183
Yeah, who's the dog?
262
00:14:11,225 --> 00:14:12,434
Whatever you're selling,
we're all full up.
263
00:14:12,476 --> 00:14:13,686
We don't want any.
264
00:14:13,727 --> 00:14:15,604
First of all,
265
00:14:15,646 --> 00:14:17,273
and before we go any further,
congratulations.
266
00:14:17,314 --> 00:14:19,316
You got into the ESG
space right on time.
267
00:14:19,358 --> 00:14:21,777
Early, even, and have done very nicely.
268
00:14:21,819 --> 00:14:23,946
More than nicely.
You've kicked royal ass.
269
00:14:23,988 --> 00:14:26,448
You're giving heavy dad-rock right now.
270
00:14:26,490 --> 00:14:28,951
Well, but it's true.
So Michael Prince believes...
271
00:14:28,993 --> 00:14:30,786
- He knows...
- Yes.
272
00:14:30,828 --> 00:14:33,706
He has decided that
early-in leads to early-out.
273
00:14:33,747 --> 00:14:36,208
So that the two of you
can focus fully on this place.
274
00:14:36,250 --> 00:14:38,961
This entire place. See?
This is good news.
275
00:14:39,003 --> 00:14:40,713
This is growing up.
This is the major leagues.
276
00:14:40,754 --> 00:14:42,214
- This is...
- You killing my business.
277
00:14:42,256 --> 00:14:43,841
- Our.
- Absolutely. Our business.
278
00:14:43,883 --> 00:14:45,843
My brand. Environmental, social
279
00:14:45,885 --> 00:14:47,553
and governance-centered investing is...
280
00:14:47,595 --> 00:14:49,847
Is oversaturated and picked over.
281
00:14:49,889 --> 00:14:52,766
Plus, if Prince has a carve-out
that specializes in ESG,
282
00:14:52,808 --> 00:14:54,685
it means the main firm disregards ESG.
283
00:14:54,727 --> 00:14:56,729
- You see?
- I do.
284
00:14:56,770 --> 00:14:58,731
The key at this place is,
it's one brand now
285
00:14:58,772 --> 00:15:00,399
that the two of you are running.
286
00:15:00,441 --> 00:15:02,192
Don't think of it as
killing what you had.
287
00:15:02,234 --> 00:15:04,695
No one is killing anything.
288
00:15:04,737 --> 00:15:06,822
Taylor Mason Carbon will be sunsetted,
289
00:15:06,864 --> 00:15:10,451
but you will be right here at
the head of one unified firm.
290
00:15:10,492 --> 00:15:11,952
These offices will be upgraded
291
00:15:11,994 --> 00:15:13,370
and turned into your command center.
292
00:15:13,412 --> 00:15:14,955
We don't have a voice in this?
293
00:15:15,750 --> 00:15:18,417
Of course you do,
and that voice is going to be heard.
294
00:15:18,459 --> 00:15:21,253
And then it is going to say, "Yes!"
295
00:15:22,637 --> 00:15:24,173
- I don't like it.
- Taylor doesn't like it.
296
00:15:24,214 --> 00:15:26,342
And neither do I. We have to...
297
00:15:26,383 --> 00:15:28,552
total and complete respect to
the two of you, of course...
298
00:15:28,594 --> 00:15:30,763
but we have to take
this directly to Prince.
299
00:15:30,804 --> 00:15:32,932
Don't think of this as
us going over your heads.
300
00:15:32,973 --> 00:15:34,516
Just know we are going over your heads.
301
00:15:34,558 --> 00:15:35,684
And the dog...
302
00:15:35,726 --> 00:15:37,353
whichever one of you
303
00:15:37,394 --> 00:15:38,562
happens to be barking
loudest at the moment...
304
00:15:38,604 --> 00:15:40,105
you're Hooch.
305
00:15:46,570 --> 00:15:47,947
You wearing your invisibility cloak?
306
00:15:47,988 --> 00:15:49,531
It's at the cleaners.
307
00:15:49,573 --> 00:15:52,076
Well, I must be wearing mine,
'cause Prince can't see me.
308
00:15:54,161 --> 00:15:55,829
There it is.
309
00:15:59,208 --> 00:16:01,377
Oh, come on!
310
00:16:01,418 --> 00:16:04,296
He isn't free.
Isn't going to be, for you, all day.
311
00:16:09,885 --> 00:16:11,178
I have the plan.
312
00:16:11,220 --> 00:16:12,596
And the authority to hear you out.
313
00:16:12,638 --> 00:16:13,722
Good, we can go to your office and...
314
00:16:13,764 --> 00:16:15,307
I'm in with him right now.
315
00:16:15,349 --> 00:16:17,309
Later. Maybe tomorrow. I'll find you.
316
00:16:40,874 --> 00:16:44,169
Hey, Kev, move around.
Let me face the room.
317
00:16:44,211 --> 00:16:45,796
No, Pop, I'm good.
318
00:16:47,002 --> 00:16:48,674
If the seat doesn't suit you, son,
319
00:16:48,716 --> 00:16:50,259
we can retire to my place.
320
00:16:50,300 --> 00:16:51,677
I'll have them send the food over.
321
00:16:51,719 --> 00:16:53,512
Oh, yeah, we have plenty in the freezer.
322
00:16:54,603 --> 00:16:56,890
Could reheat last night's
dinner from Le Bernardin.
323
00:16:56,932 --> 00:16:59,184
We have a Gaja just coming into its own.
324
00:16:59,226 --> 00:17:00,853
Yeah, let's go eat at Grandpa's.
325
00:17:00,894 --> 00:17:03,230
No. Nonsense. We will eat right here.
326
00:17:03,272 --> 00:17:04,606
And if it's a chewy Gaja you want,
327
00:17:04,648 --> 00:17:06,233
let's get that going right now.
328
00:17:06,275 --> 00:17:08,193
Just go ahead and take the seat, Chuck.
329
00:17:08,235 --> 00:17:10,446
You know, I'm surprised you came, Wend.
330
00:17:10,487 --> 00:17:12,906
A pleasant surprise,
but a surprise nonetheless.
331
00:17:12,948 --> 00:17:14,700
I have a work dinner after this,
332
00:17:14,742 --> 00:17:16,660
so I just kind of stopped by to,
you know, be here
333
00:17:16,702 --> 00:17:19,079
for the kids, say hi to your dad.
334
00:17:19,121 --> 00:17:20,748
Be here for the...
335
00:17:23,417 --> 00:17:25,502
Oh, oh, oh.
336
00:17:25,544 --> 00:17:27,337
It makes sense.
337
00:17:27,379 --> 00:17:30,049
Ah, the super-early bird dinner.
338
00:17:30,090 --> 00:17:32,009
Me facing the wall,
339
00:17:32,051 --> 00:17:34,303
you here as a buffer of
sorts against the world.
340
00:17:34,344 --> 00:17:35,721
I get it now.
341
00:17:37,723 --> 00:17:40,476
Oh, the children don't
want to be seen in public
342
00:17:40,517 --> 00:17:43,062
having dinner with an indicted man, huh?
343
00:17:44,271 --> 00:17:45,981
We're not embarrassed of you.
344
00:17:46,023 --> 00:17:48,734
Oh, goodness, you're embarrassed of me.
345
00:17:52,112 --> 00:17:55,657
Remember how it was for you
when I had my troubles?
346
00:17:55,699 --> 00:17:57,493
Perhaps the kids feel that way.
347
00:17:57,534 --> 00:18:00,746
You were a slum lord.
I was doing the public good.
348
00:18:00,788 --> 00:18:02,456
Junior!
349
00:18:02,498 --> 00:18:04,875
Keister. Seat. Now.
350
00:18:14,051 --> 00:18:16,804
It's important that we all remember:
351
00:18:16,845 --> 00:18:20,182
I am not, and will never be, convicted,
352
00:18:20,224 --> 00:18:23,185
because I have done nothing wrong.
353
00:18:23,851 --> 00:18:24,895
Totally.
354
00:18:24,937 --> 00:18:28,107
Absolutely, Dad.
You'll always be our father.
355
00:19:00,180 --> 00:19:02,808
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Thank you.
356
00:19:03,763 --> 00:19:05,060
Can you get a message to him?
357
00:19:05,102 --> 00:19:07,729
No. He hasn't sent one to me.
358
00:19:07,771 --> 00:19:09,189
It's safer this way.
359
00:19:09,231 --> 00:19:10,482
Why do you need him?
360
00:19:12,985 --> 00:19:14,820
It was one thing to help
keep the trains running
361
00:19:14,945 --> 00:19:18,532
when it was just about Prince
staying rich and getting richer.
362
00:19:18,574 --> 00:19:20,826
But I have decided that he is dangerous.
363
00:19:23,287 --> 00:19:25,706
And I can't be part of another strongman
364
00:19:25,747 --> 00:19:26,999
entering the world stage.
365
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,418
Ah. There's always strongmen.
366
00:19:29,459 --> 00:19:31,628
Maybe if you know this one,
you can influence him.
367
00:19:31,670 --> 00:19:33,422
And maybe he ain't that bad.
368
00:19:34,197 --> 00:19:35,465
"Maybe he ain't that bad"
369
00:19:35,507 --> 00:19:37,301
is the war cry of the
meek and the defeated.
370
00:19:37,342 --> 00:19:39,720
It's what got us the
last few fucking winners.
371
00:19:39,761 --> 00:19:42,097
It's the key that unlocks
the door that lets the demons
372
00:19:42,139 --> 00:19:43,849
run free,
and I don't want to be holding it.
373
00:19:44,637 --> 00:19:46,351
So drop it and split.
374
00:19:47,546 --> 00:19:49,479
I would, but that leaves
everyone who works there behind.
375
00:19:49,521 --> 00:19:52,191
I'm not prepared to do that.
376
00:19:53,692 --> 00:19:55,194
And I can't think of anyone else
377
00:19:55,235 --> 00:19:56,528
who could stop Prince's rise.
378
00:19:56,570 --> 00:19:59,031
Axe couldn't when he tried.
379
00:19:59,072 --> 00:20:01,366
Look, the time to think about
this was the before-time.
380
00:20:01,408 --> 00:20:03,285
Wherever he is, whatever he's doing,
381
00:20:03,327 --> 00:20:05,412
he ain't looking backwards.
382
00:20:09,082 --> 00:20:10,626
Don't you miss him?
383
00:20:11,670 --> 00:20:15,047
That's a bit like asking a
caveman hiding from a dinosaur
384
00:20:15,088 --> 00:20:17,591
if he misses the sun. Of course he does.
385
00:20:17,633 --> 00:20:19,384
But if he goes outside the
cave when it's light out,
386
00:20:19,426 --> 00:20:21,053
he might get eaten.
387
00:20:21,094 --> 00:20:22,221
The cavemen and the dinosaurs
388
00:20:22,429 --> 00:20:23,722
didn't walk the earth at the same...
389
00:20:23,764 --> 00:20:27,017
As I can hardly believe we were
really and truly here with him.
390
00:20:28,143 --> 00:20:29,311
The whole world is different.
391
00:20:30,395 --> 00:20:31,730
Yes.
392
00:20:31,772 --> 00:20:35,108
Yes to every single word.
393
00:20:36,944 --> 00:20:38,570
Somehow, we have managed to keep living
394
00:20:38,612 --> 00:20:39,947
without that warm glow.
395
00:20:42,306 --> 00:20:44,952
But I'll tell you,
it's hard living without daylight.
396
00:20:46,954 --> 00:20:49,164
And I really need his counsel
397
00:20:50,540 --> 00:20:53,126
on how to at least
direct Prince to not, like,
398
00:20:53,168 --> 00:20:54,920
end the fucking universe.
399
00:20:56,155 --> 00:20:58,257
Maybe it's just not
your problem to solve.
400
00:20:58,298 --> 00:21:01,426
So you're okay with just
making the best of it as is?
401
00:21:03,053 --> 00:21:04,721
I am at Wo Hop
402
00:21:04,763 --> 00:21:07,591
with one of my three
favorite people in the world.
403
00:21:08,809 --> 00:21:11,353
This is about the best version of me
404
00:21:11,395 --> 00:21:13,188
making the best of it I know of.
405
00:21:19,152 --> 00:21:21,280
Mm-mm. Mm!
406
00:21:25,033 --> 00:21:26,451
Hey, give us a minute, would you?
407
00:21:35,168 --> 00:21:36,461
How sure are you?
408
00:21:46,471 --> 00:21:48,098
It might be as simple as this.
409
00:21:48,974 --> 00:21:50,684
There's nothing more dangerous
410
00:21:50,726 --> 00:21:52,811
than a man who's sure he's never wrong.
411
00:21:55,731 --> 00:21:58,567
Add in the money, add in the intellect.
412
00:21:58,608 --> 00:22:00,360
Smarts is good.
413
00:22:00,402 --> 00:22:02,279
Not when those smarts are
used to strengthen the idea
414
00:22:02,321 --> 00:22:04,406
that no one else's opinion counts.
415
00:22:04,740 --> 00:22:06,992
And in add his ability to lie to himself
416
00:22:07,034 --> 00:22:09,411
about who he really is, and finally,
417
00:22:09,453 --> 00:22:12,914
fold in a textbook God complex.
418
00:22:13,206 --> 00:22:14,916
He thinks he's God now?
419
00:22:14,958 --> 00:22:17,419
This is a man who's accomplished
420
00:22:17,461 --> 00:22:20,339
everything he's ever set out to do.
421
00:22:20,380 --> 00:22:22,883
Again. That's supposed
to be a good thing.
422
00:22:23,300 --> 00:22:26,178
Yeah, it's good.
Right up until the moment
423
00:22:26,219 --> 00:22:27,804
that he decides that what he needs to do
424
00:22:27,846 --> 00:22:29,681
is take out Russia or China
425
00:22:29,723 --> 00:22:32,017
or whoever's next on the list,
preemptively.
426
00:22:32,768 --> 00:22:35,187
Or that he really needs to do
427
00:22:35,228 --> 00:22:37,314
is to shut up the dissenters right here.
428
00:22:37,356 --> 00:22:39,900
And then, suddenly,
he's gassing Des Moines.
429
00:22:39,941 --> 00:22:42,903
But, like, that's what half
the guys in office want to do.
430
00:22:42,944 --> 00:22:44,529
Bureaucracy stops 'em.
431
00:22:44,571 --> 00:22:47,407
Not this guy. He steamrolls it.
432
00:22:48,355 --> 00:22:50,702
My job is to listen
to what these men say
433
00:22:50,744 --> 00:22:52,245
and to parse it.
434
00:22:54,873 --> 00:22:56,416
If he gets there,
435
00:22:56,458 --> 00:22:59,878
he won't be stopped by red tape.
436
00:22:59,920 --> 00:23:03,256
Our only chance is to
stop him beforehand.
437
00:23:05,342 --> 00:23:08,387
Otherwise, in his own words,
the country will scream.
438
00:23:10,263 --> 00:23:13,058
And he'll just keep on going.
439
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:15,394
Then I hope you find Axe.
440
00:23:15,435 --> 00:23:17,062
Because he is the only one
441
00:23:17,104 --> 00:23:19,064
who might have a chance to prevent it.
442
00:23:30,534 --> 00:23:31,910
Thank you for meeting me here.
443
00:23:31,952 --> 00:23:34,079
You offered up a slice of Joe's.
444
00:23:34,121 --> 00:23:35,539
And you're you.
445
00:23:35,580 --> 00:23:37,207
Who's saying no?
446
00:23:42,796 --> 00:23:44,798
I need you to get a message to Bobby.
447
00:23:46,633 --> 00:23:48,260
If I accept your message
448
00:23:48,301 --> 00:23:50,929
and you told a court
of law I accepted it,
449
00:23:50,971 --> 00:23:52,597
they would interpret it
as my having knowledge
450
00:23:52,639 --> 00:23:53,765
of his whereabouts.
451
00:23:53,807 --> 00:23:55,475
I knew you'd say that,
452
00:23:55,517 --> 00:23:57,018
and I asked you here anyway.
453
00:23:57,185 --> 00:23:59,271
Why would you want to locate him,
theoretically?
454
00:23:59,312 --> 00:24:02,899
Same reason you, uh,
look up your exes on Instagram, I guess.
455
00:24:03,646 --> 00:24:07,237
- I don't do that.
- Neither do I. But people do.
456
00:24:07,279 --> 00:24:10,740
Makes them feel both connected
and aware of their own growth.
457
00:24:10,782 --> 00:24:13,869
Yeah. That's not why you want to know.
458
00:24:13,910 --> 00:24:16,288
Everything is murky right now, Orrin.
459
00:24:16,329 --> 00:24:18,582
Bobby isn't. Never was.
460
00:24:18,623 --> 00:24:20,250
He is clarity.
461
00:24:21,010 --> 00:24:22,961
That is what we need right now.
462
00:24:23,003 --> 00:24:25,630
If by "we" you mean this city,
country and world,
463
00:24:25,672 --> 00:24:27,883
you're damn right we do.
464
00:24:27,924 --> 00:24:31,261
Which is a funny thing to say,
considering he cost me
465
00:24:31,303 --> 00:24:33,096
my good standing with
the bar for six months.
466
00:24:34,078 --> 00:24:35,474
He was worth what he cost.
467
00:24:35,515 --> 00:24:36,975
Is.
468
00:24:37,017 --> 00:24:38,685
I see it the same.
469
00:24:39,269 --> 00:24:42,481
I only wish I was the one
who could deliver him to you.
470
00:24:48,487 --> 00:24:50,530
- You're not?
- I've eaten.
471
00:25:07,194 --> 00:25:08,231
Festive spot.
472
00:25:09,758 --> 00:25:11,176
Especially at the witching hour.
473
00:25:11,218 --> 00:25:13,053
Yeah.
474
00:25:13,094 --> 00:25:15,972
Well,
like Uncle Junior's doctor's office,
475
00:25:16,014 --> 00:25:18,016
I have this place.
476
00:25:18,058 --> 00:25:21,853
The final resting spot of a
long line of dead Rhoadeses.
477
00:25:22,312 --> 00:25:26,775
My great-grandfather Elijah.
His wife Tig.
478
00:25:26,816 --> 00:25:28,026
Uh...
479
00:25:28,068 --> 00:25:30,529
Grandpa Crawford.
480
00:25:30,570 --> 00:25:32,364
Uncle Cleveland.
481
00:25:32,405 --> 00:25:35,867
And, uh,
that one there is earmarked for me.
482
00:25:35,909 --> 00:25:38,161
And you might as well
slide me in right now
483
00:25:38,203 --> 00:25:40,956
'cause I am a dead man walking.
484
00:25:40,997 --> 00:25:43,375
Let's not get operatic.
You knew the deal.
485
00:25:43,416 --> 00:25:45,835
What I knew was you were
going to tell me the deal.
486
00:25:45,877 --> 00:25:49,714
So I signed, as anyone would
when the choice was steel bars,
487
00:25:49,756 --> 00:25:51,216
but I'm still waiting.
488
00:25:51,341 --> 00:25:53,426
It's better out here
than where you were.
489
00:25:56,263 --> 00:25:58,056
All right, let's not do it like this.
490
00:25:58,098 --> 00:25:59,891
I want to find areas of agreement.
491
00:25:59,933 --> 00:26:01,560
Yes, it is better out here,
492
00:26:01,601 --> 00:26:04,646
but now I need to really
understand your plan
493
00:26:04,688 --> 00:26:07,816
- so I can go along...
- No, no.
494
00:26:07,857 --> 00:26:09,359
Not going to reveal the whole thing.
495
00:26:09,764 --> 00:26:11,152
I'm just going to do it.
496
00:26:11,194 --> 00:26:13,154
You play your part better
497
00:26:13,196 --> 00:26:14,447
the less you know about
how I'm working it.
498
00:26:14,489 --> 00:26:16,575
I can have all the info.
499
00:26:16,616 --> 00:26:18,743
That way, I not only play the scene,
500
00:26:18,785 --> 00:26:20,495
I play the whole film.
501
00:26:20,537 --> 00:26:22,914
That shit might work in a
fucking Michael Bay movie,
502
00:26:22,956 --> 00:26:24,749
but this...
503
00:26:24,791 --> 00:26:26,751
this needs to be Kubrick.
504
00:26:27,432 --> 00:26:29,212
Quiet and creeping,
505
00:26:29,254 --> 00:26:31,298
and then suddenly shocking and perfect.
506
00:26:31,506 --> 00:26:34,092
Dave, I'd never
second-guess a player like you,
507
00:26:34,134 --> 00:26:36,052
but I need be free of this bullshit
508
00:26:36,094 --> 00:26:38,013
sooner rather than later.
509
00:26:38,054 --> 00:26:40,515
All right. I heard you in court.
510
00:26:40,557 --> 00:26:42,434
And you know who else heard you?
511
00:26:42,475 --> 00:26:44,019
Mikey Prince.
512
00:26:44,060 --> 00:26:46,021
So while I'm insistent on my stance,
513
00:26:46,062 --> 00:26:47,772
I will give you this much:
514
00:26:47,814 --> 00:26:49,733
I am making inroads at his company,
515
00:26:49,774 --> 00:26:52,193
with his employees.
516
00:26:52,235 --> 00:26:54,446
I get close, I bleed them for info.
517
00:26:54,487 --> 00:26:56,281
And not the kind of info
they think they're giving me,
518
00:26:56,323 --> 00:26:57,949
but the kind we need.
519
00:26:57,991 --> 00:27:00,744
And you just keep playing possum
520
00:27:00,785 --> 00:27:02,787
in the crosshairs of justice.
521
00:27:04,789 --> 00:27:06,499
What you're doing
522
00:27:06,541 --> 00:27:08,627
is key to my gaining their confidence,
so keep it up.
523
00:27:10,253 --> 00:27:11,838
See you tomorrow.
524
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,090
Or is that already today?
525
00:27:14,132 --> 00:27:17,302
To me,
it's all one long day run together
526
00:27:17,344 --> 00:27:19,804
since I was put on the chain gang.
527
00:27:22,223 --> 00:27:24,434
Oh, my God.
528
00:27:32,525 --> 00:27:34,944
The strategy I built
for Taylor Mason Carbon
529
00:27:34,986 --> 00:27:37,155
was designed to play out
over longer than a few years.
530
00:27:37,197 --> 00:27:38,948
The results aren't in yet,
531
00:27:38,990 --> 00:27:40,325
but I'm feeling a
"results now" vibe here.
532
00:27:40,367 --> 00:27:41,951
Prince says you should revamp it.
533
00:27:41,993 --> 00:27:44,245
Transfer the investments
over that still apply.
534
00:27:44,287 --> 00:27:45,997
It's all the same ownership anyway.
535
00:27:46,039 --> 00:27:47,999
This isn't satisfying,
talking to the lawyer.
536
00:27:48,041 --> 00:27:49,334
It's true,
and that's exactly what you sound like:
537
00:27:49,376 --> 00:27:50,627
the lawyer.
538
00:27:50,669 --> 00:27:52,253
That's a sad characterization.
539
00:27:52,295 --> 00:27:53,922
I'll get over that on my own time.
540
00:27:53,963 --> 00:27:56,174
And to be honest,
nobody owes you an explanation.
541
00:27:56,216 --> 00:27:58,009
Legally, Prince can do what he wants
542
00:27:58,051 --> 00:27:59,386
to your entity. He controls it.
543
00:27:59,636 --> 00:28:02,514
But I am here explaining,
listening, as a courtesy.
544
00:28:02,555 --> 00:28:05,100
Because we're all throwing in
here now, right?
545
00:28:05,141 --> 00:28:07,727
You on the financial side,
me on the operations side.
546
00:28:07,769 --> 00:28:09,479
So don't think of me as the lawyer,
547
00:28:09,521 --> 00:28:11,773
think of me as a part of Prince's brain.
548
00:28:11,815 --> 00:28:14,150
He's downloaded the things
he wants me on top of.
549
00:28:14,192 --> 00:28:15,819
Whatever happened in
that interrogation room
550
00:28:15,860 --> 00:28:17,487
- clearly forged a bond.
- It's true.
551
00:28:17,529 --> 00:28:19,447
I guess you come apart
at the seams and blubber
552
00:28:19,489 --> 00:28:21,533
all over your lawyer's shoulder,
you get tight.
553
00:28:21,574 --> 00:28:22,951
Is that what happened?
Like Cutler and Gotti?
554
00:28:22,992 --> 00:28:24,244
Or Von Bülow and Dersh.
555
00:28:24,285 --> 00:28:26,454
You won't get a rise out of me,
556
00:28:26,496 --> 00:28:29,082
but what you're missing
is this is good for you.
557
00:28:29,124 --> 00:28:31,459
You're not being partitioned
or siloed off anymore.
558
00:28:31,501 --> 00:28:33,002
You run this entire place.
559
00:28:34,289 --> 00:28:36,214
Trade how you like,
within the parameters,
560
00:28:36,256 --> 00:28:38,967
but, uh, the expectations
are for a field-beating year.
561
00:28:39,008 --> 00:28:42,512
So my crew, computer-driven
and ESG-focused airborne troops
562
00:28:42,554 --> 00:28:44,139
are expected to wade
into the long-short mud
563
00:28:44,180 --> 00:28:45,724
like infantry grunts and win?
564
00:28:46,015 --> 00:28:48,017
That's something I'll have
to go back to Prince with
565
00:28:48,059 --> 00:28:49,811
and, uh, swing back to you.
566
00:28:49,853 --> 00:28:51,438
Better that we see
him and press him on that.
567
00:28:51,604 --> 00:28:53,898
Have to convince him to
keep our internal structure
568
00:28:53,940 --> 00:28:55,233
and offices intact.
569
00:28:56,943 --> 00:28:59,904
Yeah, you might be
a little late for that.
570
00:29:05,660 --> 00:29:07,245
Wait, that's our wall.
571
00:29:11,657 --> 00:29:12,725
Hey.
572
00:29:19,591 --> 00:29:21,551
So I get someone there to turn.
573
00:29:21,593 --> 00:29:23,178
Who's the most likely,
in your opinion, Chuck,
574
00:29:23,219 --> 00:29:26,222
to know enough but also
to be willing to roll?
575
00:29:26,264 --> 00:29:29,321
All those guys will roll if
the leverage is strong enough,
576
00:29:29,356 --> 00:29:31,081
don't you think, big guy?
577
00:29:31,116 --> 00:29:32,771
The old Uncle Mike quote applies.
578
00:29:32,812 --> 00:29:34,272
"The plan crumbles upon impact."
579
00:29:34,314 --> 00:29:35,982
Think he said it a
little more colorfully.
580
00:29:36,024 --> 00:29:37,650
Hard to imagine.
581
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:40,695
We have a situation.
582
00:29:40,737 --> 00:29:42,405
Reporter out there.
583
00:29:42,447 --> 00:29:44,949
Was signed in by an
assistant AG on a pretext,
584
00:29:44,991 --> 00:29:47,577
blew right by the assistant
AG and marched over to me.
585
00:29:47,619 --> 00:29:50,789
Guy says you need to see him.
If you don't, bad for you.
586
00:29:50,830 --> 00:29:52,207
I can meet him in the lobby.
587
00:29:52,248 --> 00:29:54,250
Says he followed Mr. Rhoades here.
588
00:29:54,292 --> 00:29:56,711
Knows you are together.
Wants to talk to both of you.
589
00:29:56,753 --> 00:29:58,213
Send one of the comms people, too.
590
00:29:58,254 --> 00:30:00,465
Reporter said he'll file his story
591
00:30:00,507 --> 00:30:01,966
the moment he sees a comms person,
592
00:30:02,008 --> 00:30:04,636
and that it'll explode like Tex Cobb
593
00:30:04,677 --> 00:30:05,970
in Raising Arizona.
594
00:30:07,347 --> 00:30:10,058
Get him. Bring him slow.
595
00:30:10,099 --> 00:30:11,476
We need to rearrange ourselves
596
00:30:11,518 --> 00:30:13,478
so this looks like a plea conference.
597
00:30:21,861 --> 00:30:23,321
Oh, fuck. This guy.
598
00:30:23,363 --> 00:30:24,781
You got that right.
599
00:30:24,823 --> 00:30:26,533
This guy.
600
00:30:26,574 --> 00:30:28,326
Only with a different angle.
601
00:30:28,368 --> 00:30:31,496
Hello, Attorney General Mahar.
My name is Lucien Porter.
602
00:30:31,538 --> 00:30:34,499
- I write for...
- I know who you are, Mr. Porter.
603
00:30:34,541 --> 00:30:36,334
But you have to know,
604
00:30:36,376 --> 00:30:38,002
you can't just barge
into a plea conference.
605
00:30:38,044 --> 00:30:41,506
And you have to know,
Miss Mahar, I-I just did.
606
00:30:41,548 --> 00:30:43,216
What do you want?
607
00:30:43,258 --> 00:30:48,054
I want to see both of
your reactions to this.
608
00:30:48,096 --> 00:30:50,723
And any response you may have.
609
00:30:50,765 --> 00:30:52,183
Are we off the record?
610
00:30:52,225 --> 00:30:54,519
Oh, no, we are as on the record
611
00:30:54,561 --> 00:30:59,357
as BB King at Sun Studios in 1950
cutting "Mistreated Woman."
612
00:31:01,317 --> 00:31:02,986
Yeah, the king of the blues
613
00:31:03,027 --> 00:31:04,779
recorded there years
before Elvis the King.
614
00:31:04,821 --> 00:31:06,489
But let's not get off track.
615
00:31:06,531 --> 00:31:08,199
Uh, I'm gonna walk my client out of here
616
00:31:08,241 --> 00:31:09,951
unless you can give me reason not to.
617
00:31:09,993 --> 00:31:11,286
How's this for reason:
618
00:31:12,912 --> 00:31:15,206
I have come to think the world was wrong
619
00:31:15,248 --> 00:31:18,209
about Charles "Chuck" Rhoades, Jr.
620
00:31:20,753 --> 00:31:23,339
A point of possible agreement.
Fascinating.
621
00:31:23,381 --> 00:31:24,591
Wrong how?
622
00:31:24,632 --> 00:31:26,759
Well, I think what I,
623
00:31:26,801 --> 00:31:28,928
and the rest of the world, missed,
624
00:31:28,970 --> 00:31:31,848
is that this man is a crusader.
625
00:31:32,932 --> 00:31:34,183
A criminal
626
00:31:34,225 --> 00:31:35,935
twice removed from office.
627
00:31:35,977 --> 00:31:38,229
You just made my point.
628
00:31:38,271 --> 00:31:41,190
What if working inside the
structure of the government,
629
00:31:41,232 --> 00:31:43,276
especially in the
years under discussion,
630
00:31:43,318 --> 00:31:46,195
it wasn't possible to really
do the people's bidding
631
00:31:46,237 --> 00:31:48,990
while following the letter of the law?
632
00:31:49,782 --> 00:31:52,410
I have sources who have told me...
633
00:31:52,452 --> 00:31:55,580
compelling and convincing sources...
634
00:31:55,622 --> 00:31:58,416
that Mr. Rhoades was twice removed
635
00:31:58,458 --> 00:32:00,919
because he refused
to back down to power.
636
00:32:02,545 --> 00:32:05,006
That he was determined
to bring to justice
637
00:32:05,048 --> 00:32:07,091
those few that control all.
638
00:32:07,133 --> 00:32:09,427
Normally, I'd be thrilled by this,
639
00:32:09,469 --> 00:32:11,888
but I don't trust your agenda, man.
640
00:32:11,930 --> 00:32:13,431
Good instinct.
641
00:32:13,473 --> 00:32:14,891
I'd see it same from your seat,
642
00:32:14,933 --> 00:32:16,893
Chuck, but I've watched it.
643
00:32:16,935 --> 00:32:18,770
You're the only one who
stood up to the billionaires
644
00:32:18,811 --> 00:32:20,939
with more than words.
645
00:32:22,565 --> 00:32:24,901
The only one who paid a price.
646
00:32:24,943 --> 00:32:27,612
Twice removed,
as the attorney general said,
647
00:32:27,654 --> 00:32:29,572
prosecuted now, and for what?
648
00:32:29,614 --> 00:32:30,990
For breaking the law.
649
00:32:31,032 --> 00:32:34,494
I prosecute infractions, not intentions.
650
00:32:35,431 --> 00:32:37,288
That'll be your quote then.
651
00:32:38,063 --> 00:32:39,248
Rhoades, you want to say something?
652
00:32:39,290 --> 00:32:42,001
Nah. I'm not talking to you.
653
00:32:42,043 --> 00:32:45,004
Even as I agree that I
have been railroaded,
654
00:32:45,046 --> 00:32:47,799
I'm gonna fight my
case and win in court,
655
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,468
and then go about my business.
656
00:32:50,510 --> 00:32:53,346
As you should go about yours,
Mr. Porter, out there,
657
00:32:53,388 --> 00:32:55,473
and leave me to mine in here.
658
00:32:55,515 --> 00:32:59,185
I'll go,
but that doesn't mean I'm leaving you.
659
00:32:59,227 --> 00:33:02,563
Oh. Set that sentiment to music,
660
00:33:02,605 --> 00:33:04,983
and maybe you'll make
something out of your writing.
661
00:33:05,943 --> 00:33:06,967
Goodbye.
662
00:33:17,203 --> 00:33:18,997
It's him. Big Red.
663
00:33:19,038 --> 00:33:20,164
Is he sending out a flare?
664
00:33:20,206 --> 00:33:21,749
Does he want us to see?
665
00:33:21,791 --> 00:33:23,334
If he didn't, how would I spot it?
666
00:33:23,543 --> 00:33:25,795
Were you chiefing up at the
moment of this big revelation?
667
00:33:25,837 --> 00:33:28,089
That's an insulting question.
And hurtful.
668
00:33:28,131 --> 00:33:29,674
Why does it have to be
that I was chiefing up?
669
00:33:29,882 --> 00:33:32,010
You've been known to partake,
even during work hours.
670
00:33:32,051 --> 00:33:35,304
The idea that I can't hold my
weed is the disrespectful part.
671
00:33:35,346 --> 00:33:37,807
Okay, Mafee, how did you spot it?
672
00:33:37,849 --> 00:33:41,477
Now, I did happen to
be chiefing up, as discussed...
673
00:33:41,519 --> 00:33:43,396
enjoying some Nautical Twilight,
674
00:33:43,438 --> 00:33:46,065
as a matter of fact...
at the time I saw it.
675
00:33:46,618 --> 00:33:47,942
No.
676
00:33:49,068 --> 00:33:50,319
Couldn't be.
677
00:33:52,238 --> 00:33:53,364
No way.
678
00:33:55,074 --> 00:33:56,367
But maybe.
679
00:33:56,409 --> 00:33:59,203
So I switched to a sativa
680
00:33:59,245 --> 00:34:01,414
to think through this one.
681
00:34:01,456 --> 00:34:03,291
Diablo Wind, which,
682
00:34:03,332 --> 00:34:04,834
despite its frightening
and evil-sounding name,
683
00:34:04,876 --> 00:34:06,502
is actually cerebral and perfect
684
00:34:06,544 --> 00:34:07,712
for getting things done.
685
00:34:07,879 --> 00:34:09,088
- Mafee!
- Sorry. Anyway...
686
00:34:09,130 --> 00:34:10,715
at first I'm thinking
687
00:34:10,757 --> 00:34:12,383
I'm looking at some noise trader.
688
00:34:12,425 --> 00:34:14,302
But then I notice a
technical component to it.
689
00:34:14,343 --> 00:34:16,387
But the sizing was too great.
690
00:34:16,429 --> 00:34:19,057
Yet it wasn't an institution.
691
00:34:19,098 --> 00:34:20,975
- And then...
- When the smoke cleared?
692
00:34:21,017 --> 00:34:24,062
...I realized I was looking at
Semi-Strong Form Efficiency.
693
00:34:24,103 --> 00:34:25,730
Let me see.
694
00:34:25,772 --> 00:34:28,858
Whoever it was, he was fast,
aggressive, sure-footed.
695
00:34:28,900 --> 00:34:31,861
You know I know Axe's trading
style better than anyone.
696
00:34:31,903 --> 00:34:34,739
I've studied it.
And this is him. I'm sure of it.
697
00:34:34,781 --> 00:34:36,574
Uh-huh.
698
00:34:36,616 --> 00:34:38,076
Who put you up to looking, Mafee?
699
00:34:38,117 --> 00:34:41,579
No. No, this was on my own.
700
00:34:41,621 --> 00:34:44,373
But I didn't want to,
like, commit to the idea
701
00:34:44,415 --> 00:34:46,250
that it was him without
running it by you.
702
00:34:46,292 --> 00:34:48,419
I wasn't going to tell anyone about it.
703
00:34:48,461 --> 00:34:50,630
Wasn't, you know, tasked.
704
00:34:59,514 --> 00:35:01,307
- Oh. Hello.
- Help me figure out
705
00:35:01,349 --> 00:35:04,143
who asked Mafee to find
Axe through Axe's trades.
706
00:35:04,185 --> 00:35:07,146
I did it. I need to reach him,
but he's gone to ground.
707
00:35:07,188 --> 00:35:09,440
So I figured he could track him,
708
00:35:09,482 --> 00:35:10,858
and then you could bait him,
using what Mafee knows.
709
00:35:10,900 --> 00:35:12,777
No. No one could bait him.
710
00:35:12,819 --> 00:35:15,154
And no way Mafee sees this
if Axe didn't want to be seen.
711
00:35:17,115 --> 00:35:18,449
Just a sec.
712
00:35:20,910 --> 00:35:23,579
Ah, the Count Basie Orchestra
713
00:35:23,621 --> 00:35:25,039
together again.
714
00:35:25,081 --> 00:35:26,791
Only the Count himself is missing.
715
00:35:27,703 --> 00:35:29,293
Here's how I figure it.
716
00:35:29,335 --> 00:35:33,214
You followed protocol,
said he was unreachable,
717
00:35:33,256 --> 00:35:34,632
then told him I wanted to connect
718
00:35:34,674 --> 00:35:36,300
because you can reach him,
719
00:35:36,342 --> 00:35:38,219
and then he had to have a little fun.
720
00:35:38,261 --> 00:35:40,138
Ah.
721
00:35:40,179 --> 00:35:42,723
Did Mafee notice a certain
signature trading style
722
00:35:42,765 --> 00:35:44,392
in the energy sector?
723
00:35:44,433 --> 00:35:46,144
I was right! Fuck yeah!
724
00:35:46,185 --> 00:35:47,270
I knew there was
something about that guy.
725
00:35:47,311 --> 00:35:48,563
Chief on that.
726
00:35:48,855 --> 00:35:51,983
I think the big guy just
wanted to know how serious
727
00:35:52,024 --> 00:35:54,443
you were about connecting.
And now he does.
728
00:35:54,485 --> 00:35:57,488
I am tempted to engage in all of this,
but not enough.
729
00:35:57,530 --> 00:36:00,658
I'm done with intrigue,
with palace coups.
730
00:36:00,700 --> 00:36:02,326
I just want to keep
building my war chest.
731
00:36:02,368 --> 00:36:03,828
Just keep making money
and strengthening my rep
732
00:36:03,870 --> 00:36:05,037
in this fucking business,
733
00:36:05,246 --> 00:36:07,165
which is becoming increasingly difficult
734
00:36:07,206 --> 00:36:08,666
with the latest bullshit at the firm.
735
00:36:09,041 --> 00:36:11,794
We're not done talking about this.
736
00:36:11,836 --> 00:36:13,004
We are for now.
737
00:36:15,631 --> 00:36:17,175
But it is weirdly perfect timing, Mafee,
738
00:36:17,216 --> 00:36:18,968
I'll grant you that.
739
00:36:19,010 --> 00:36:20,469
I've been thinking
about you and your shop.
740
00:36:20,511 --> 00:36:21,846
Its demise, really.
741
00:36:34,901 --> 00:36:36,110
Wow.
742
00:36:38,988 --> 00:36:40,364
Hello, Pop.
743
00:36:42,158 --> 00:36:45,286
Oh, no, I will accept your
congratulations for sure,
744
00:36:45,328 --> 00:36:47,622
even as this is a small...
745
00:36:47,663 --> 00:36:49,457
Oh, I got another call coming in.
746
00:36:49,498 --> 00:36:50,791
Let me get you back.
747
00:36:52,376 --> 00:36:53,711
Eisen!
748
00:36:53,836 --> 00:36:56,297
Capital to hear from you, my good m...
749
00:36:56,505 --> 00:36:59,091
And thank you for letting
me know you saw it.
750
00:36:59,133 --> 00:37:00,468
Yes.
751
00:37:00,843 --> 00:37:02,637
It is good to see that the
right story is finally...
752
00:37:03,668 --> 00:37:06,224
Uh, there's my front door.
753
00:37:06,265 --> 00:37:07,725
Yeah.
754
00:37:07,767 --> 00:37:09,060
Okay.
755
00:37:10,186 --> 00:37:11,729
Back to you soon, pal.
756
00:37:15,816 --> 00:37:17,360
Holy fuckballs.
757
00:37:18,404 --> 00:37:20,780
That Lucien Porter, he did it!
758
00:37:20,821 --> 00:37:22,031
- This piece...
- Hmm.
759
00:37:22,073 --> 00:37:23,658
...this piece basically says
760
00:37:23,699 --> 00:37:25,534
you're the Robin Hood of New York City.
761
00:37:25,576 --> 00:37:28,162
It says you were the only
person in the city, the country,
762
00:37:28,204 --> 00:37:29,997
who risked personal welfare
763
00:37:30,039 --> 00:37:31,916
to try to put the crooked
billionaires away.
764
00:37:31,958 --> 00:37:33,584
Well, I was.
765
00:37:34,289 --> 00:37:35,336
I am.
766
00:37:36,963 --> 00:37:38,589
You...
767
00:37:38,631 --> 00:37:41,425
you acted surprised
when Porter barged in.
768
00:37:41,467 --> 00:37:43,678
But you weren't, were you?
769
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:48,099
Well, get to our age,
nothing much surprises, does it?
770
00:37:48,140 --> 00:37:50,726
- If this gets momentum...
- Sure.
771
00:37:50,768 --> 00:37:53,271
If everything lined up just so,
772
00:37:53,312 --> 00:37:56,148
if this really was the time for
me to assume my rightful pl...
773
00:37:59,151 --> 00:38:01,779
The message that Porter is
putting out in the world,
774
00:38:01,821 --> 00:38:04,991
that the very government I
was supposed to be working for
775
00:38:05,032 --> 00:38:08,202
instead fought against me
to stop me from doing
776
00:38:08,244 --> 00:38:10,621
the exact thing the people wanted...
777
00:38:10,663 --> 00:38:12,456
They're holding him up as a hero
778
00:38:12,498 --> 00:38:14,166
who actually does what he says.
779
00:38:14,333 --> 00:38:17,378
...arresting bad-faith actors
of great wealth and power,
780
00:38:17,420 --> 00:38:20,172
well, now who knows what
could sprout from that.
781
00:38:20,962 --> 00:38:22,982
Students who got a taste of fairness
782
00:38:23,017 --> 00:38:25,636
when they thought their
loans would be forgiven
783
00:38:25,678 --> 00:38:27,763
might take to the streets!
784
00:38:28,097 --> 00:38:31,934
I could see your Al Sharptons
and your Nicole Wallaces
785
00:38:31,976 --> 00:38:33,561
getting into the act.
786
00:38:33,602 --> 00:38:37,440
Your Warrens, your Sanderses, your AOCs.
787
00:38:38,816 --> 00:38:40,651
All righteously outraged
788
00:38:40,693 --> 00:38:43,404
that a true champion who
tried to carry their fight
789
00:38:43,446 --> 00:38:44,989
was snuffed out.
790
00:38:45,031 --> 00:38:47,241
This might make that same champion
791
00:38:47,283 --> 00:38:51,454
into the kind of public hero
who's very hard to keep down.
792
00:38:53,039 --> 00:38:56,500
Yeah, and even harder to prosecute.
793
00:38:56,542 --> 00:38:59,170
The president's going to let
the State of New York decide
794
00:38:59,211 --> 00:39:01,839
whether this case against
Mr. Rhoades is warranted.
795
00:39:01,881 --> 00:39:04,777
So you set all that up, too, didn't you?
796
00:39:04,812 --> 00:39:05,843
It's gonna happen.
797
00:39:06,218 --> 00:39:11,015
Once again, I think it's fair
to say it won't surprise me.
798
00:39:31,062 --> 00:39:33,241
I have a spot in my pod
if you're interested.
799
00:39:33,276 --> 00:39:35,414
I've clocked some of your trades.
I like what I see.
800
00:39:35,581 --> 00:39:38,459
Okay, rad. I've come to see
you are a many-sided figure.
801
00:39:38,501 --> 00:39:41,712
I mean,
more than the eyes and ears first.
802
00:39:41,754 --> 00:39:44,382
- Uh, cool. We'll join you.
- Yeah, cool, where do we...?
803
00:39:44,423 --> 00:39:45,841
There's one seat available.
804
00:39:45,883 --> 00:39:47,176
One.
805
00:39:47,218 --> 00:39:48,719
Both of us together, or neither.
806
00:39:53,724 --> 00:39:55,017
I'm gonna go with neither.
807
00:39:55,059 --> 00:39:56,602
Good luck.
808
00:39:59,605 --> 00:40:01,899
That was really heartening,
the way you backed me.
809
00:40:01,941 --> 00:40:03,567
It reminded me of seventh grade
810
00:40:03,609 --> 00:40:05,403
when I was the new kid
in the cafeteria and...
811
00:40:05,444 --> 00:40:07,957
Save it, s'il vous plaît.
That's French.
812
00:40:07,992 --> 00:40:09,433
Hold the roll, you two.
813
00:40:09,468 --> 00:40:10,699
We're not accepting this new reality.
814
00:40:10,741 --> 00:40:12,076
Find a place to post up for the moment
815
00:40:12,118 --> 00:40:13,619
until I can talk to Prince.
816
00:40:16,497 --> 00:40:18,791
Pod next to us is open.
817
00:40:18,833 --> 00:40:20,251
We can compare notes.
818
00:40:20,292 --> 00:40:23,212
Yeah. I know what it's like
being a bird without a nest.
819
00:40:23,254 --> 00:40:24,463
It sucks.
820
00:40:25,673 --> 00:40:27,133
Mmm.
821
00:40:29,927 --> 00:40:31,429
In my envisioning,
822
00:40:31,470 --> 00:40:33,222
this isn't like a hierarchal thing.
823
00:40:33,264 --> 00:40:36,730
This is just like two guys
making decisions together.
824
00:40:36,765 --> 00:40:37,476
Two alphas.
825
00:40:37,518 --> 00:40:39,937
Pearl and Clyde in the
Knicks backcourt together.
826
00:40:39,979 --> 00:40:41,605
Earl "the Pearl" Monroe
sacrificed ten points a game
827
00:40:41,647 --> 00:40:43,441
to come to New York.
828
00:40:43,482 --> 00:40:45,401
I mean, he went from being
the leader of the team
829
00:40:45,443 --> 00:40:47,278
and top scorer in the league
830
00:40:47,319 --> 00:40:49,280
to being the third
option on Clyde's team.
831
00:40:49,447 --> 00:40:51,782
Do you want me to be the third
option on Michael Prince's team?
832
00:40:51,824 --> 00:40:53,993
They won championships, Mark.
And with all the good
833
00:40:54,034 --> 00:40:55,619
that you're doing with the drug thing...
834
00:40:55,661 --> 00:40:58,622
The drug thing is Cost Plus Drugs.
835
00:40:58,664 --> 00:41:00,207
If you're going to run for the top slot,
836
00:41:00,249 --> 00:41:01,542
if you're going to run
the press gauntlet,
837
00:41:01,584 --> 00:41:03,461
you're going to do that.
838
00:41:03,502 --> 00:41:05,963
I'm just putting it out there
that we could do it together.
839
00:41:06,005 --> 00:41:09,758
Announce a year before anybody
puts their VP list together.
840
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:11,469
I take the bulk of the scrutiny,
841
00:41:11,510 --> 00:41:13,637
and we are kicking butt
like Nick Bockwinkel
842
00:41:13,679 --> 00:41:15,973
and Ray "the Crippler" Stevens.
843
00:41:16,015 --> 00:41:19,143
Look, I'm more a Terry Funk guy,
but regardless.
844
00:41:20,167 --> 00:41:21,312
The only thing that matters more to me
845
00:41:21,353 --> 00:41:23,022
than my country is my family.
846
00:41:23,063 --> 00:41:24,607
And there's just no way
I'm gonna put them
847
00:41:24,648 --> 00:41:26,192
through an election cycle.
848
00:41:26,233 --> 00:41:29,278
Especially not to be
your VP or anybody's VP.
849
00:41:30,905 --> 00:41:32,531
But, you know, I really get the sense
850
00:41:32,573 --> 00:41:34,992
that you asked me up
here just to find out
851
00:41:35,034 --> 00:41:36,994
if I was gonna run against you.
852
00:41:37,036 --> 00:41:39,830
You really just wanted to
confirm that the coast was
853
00:41:39,872 --> 00:41:42,500
clear for you to run as an independent.
854
00:41:42,541 --> 00:41:44,543
Well, I'm not, and it is.
855
00:41:44,585 --> 00:41:46,003
But come on, Mike.
856
00:41:46,045 --> 00:41:49,085
Next time, just call me and ask me.
857
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:50,716
Save us both some time, okay?
858
00:41:56,055 --> 00:41:58,015
I assume you've seen this?
859
00:41:58,057 --> 00:42:00,726
Ah, the epic tale of our
city's very own Eliot Ness.
860
00:42:00,768 --> 00:42:02,520
Do you know where it will lead?
861
00:42:02,561 --> 00:42:04,188
Because I do.
862
00:42:04,230 --> 00:42:06,357
Into the annals of folklore.
863
00:42:06,398 --> 00:42:08,317
Which is not where I want
to take my prosecution.
864
00:42:08,359 --> 00:42:10,694
- No, it can't be an accident.
- I saw it going down.
865
00:42:10,736 --> 00:42:12,238
It didn't turn out the way I thought.
866
00:42:12,404 --> 00:42:14,198
Isn't that, like, Chuck's specialty?
867
00:42:14,240 --> 00:42:16,617
Look, we both want
this guy found guilty,
868
00:42:16,659 --> 00:42:18,118
which is what you were promising to do.
869
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:19,537
What is it you want me to do about it?
870
00:42:19,578 --> 00:42:21,664
You're a brilliant player.
871
00:42:21,705 --> 00:42:23,374
Make some of them bold moves.
872
00:42:23,415 --> 00:42:25,334
Make the Bezos play.
873
00:42:25,376 --> 00:42:27,211
- Buy the paper?
- Yeah!
874
00:42:27,253 --> 00:42:30,005
But go farther than him.
Kill stories like this.
875
00:42:30,047 --> 00:42:32,216
Have them write the opposite ones.
876
00:42:32,258 --> 00:42:34,218
Yeah, a purchase like that
doesn't fit my needs right now.
877
00:42:34,260 --> 00:42:36,679
Nor does taking shrapnel
for steering the editorial bent
878
00:42:36,720 --> 00:42:37,930
of a major paper.
879
00:42:37,972 --> 00:42:39,848
Oh, of course, I forgot.
880
00:42:39,890 --> 00:42:42,726
Is it too soon to start
calling you Mr. President?
881
00:42:42,768 --> 00:42:45,688
It is. But it's not too soon
for you to put Chuck away,
882
00:42:45,729 --> 00:42:47,356
which is what you promised to do,
883
00:42:47,398 --> 00:42:48,941
instead of leaving openings
for him to exploit.
884
00:42:48,983 --> 00:42:51,068
I don't tell you what
stocks to buy and when,
885
00:42:51,110 --> 00:42:52,611
so you can save your dime-store critique
886
00:42:52,653 --> 00:42:54,488
of my case-building, dude.
887
00:42:57,783 --> 00:42:59,118
Sorry to interrupt, but this
888
00:42:59,159 --> 00:43:01,078
is about business of the day.
889
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:03,163
You were told to wait,
to talk to Sacker and Scooter and Wags.
890
00:43:03,205 --> 00:43:04,707
We did talk.
891
00:43:04,748 --> 00:43:06,750
Guess it didn't take.
892
00:43:06,792 --> 00:43:08,419
We were told you wanted
us to run your company,
893
00:43:08,460 --> 00:43:09,920
so we need to talk to you about it.
894
00:43:09,962 --> 00:43:11,171
I'm... I'm sorry about this timing,
895
00:43:11,213 --> 00:43:12,590
but this is kind of urgent.
896
00:43:12,631 --> 00:43:13,674
- If you could...
- Yeah, yeah.
897
00:43:14,550 --> 00:43:15,609
Thanks, Mike.
898
00:43:15,651 --> 00:43:17,803
Seems like everything's
running great for you.
899
00:43:22,558 --> 00:43:24,602
The whole idea was that you
weren't going to micromanage.
900
00:43:24,643 --> 00:43:26,520
This is macro.
901
00:43:26,562 --> 00:43:28,355
The whole place, right?
The structure of the place.
902
00:43:28,397 --> 00:43:30,107
The physical plant.
903
00:43:30,149 --> 00:43:32,234
Within that structure,
you two make the calls.
904
00:43:32,276 --> 00:43:34,361
- Stepped right into that one.
- But you are right.
905
00:43:34,403 --> 00:43:37,281
This is an operations call,
and we are operating the firm.
906
00:43:37,323 --> 00:43:38,824
Except our square peg personnel
907
00:43:38,866 --> 00:43:40,909
are getting muscled into round holes.
908
00:43:40,951 --> 00:43:42,745
This functioned perfectly
in a separate...
909
00:43:42,786 --> 00:43:45,289
I can't...
we can't have two different vehicles.
910
00:43:45,331 --> 00:43:47,095
It can't appear that
you have split focus,
911
00:43:47,130 --> 00:43:49,168
- and you can't have split focus.
- Because you're going to.
912
00:43:49,209 --> 00:43:50,461
I focus fully on
whatever I'm looking at.
913
00:43:50,502 --> 00:43:52,296
And when those walls came down,
914
00:43:52,338 --> 00:43:53,756
you had to know they
weren't going back up.
915
00:43:53,797 --> 00:43:55,966
- So, what do you want?
- Let me.
916
00:43:57,885 --> 00:43:59,928
Taylor, Philip,
917
00:43:59,970 --> 00:44:03,223
this whole place needs to feel
that it is looking to you two,
918
00:44:03,265 --> 00:44:04,725
and that you two are looking back.
919
00:44:04,767 --> 00:44:06,352
A direct engagement.
920
00:44:06,393 --> 00:44:08,270
And you know who else
needs to feel that,
921
00:44:08,312 --> 00:44:11,982
that you are wholly,
100% invested in making money,
922
00:44:12,024 --> 00:44:15,152
gobs of it, for Michael Prince Capital?
923
00:44:15,194 --> 00:44:17,029
Is that guy right there.
924
00:44:18,864 --> 00:44:20,491
It's the one thing that will free him
925
00:44:20,532 --> 00:44:22,910
to go and get done that which he must.
926
00:44:27,373 --> 00:44:28,874
For all of us.
927
00:44:35,798 --> 00:44:37,007
What she said.
928
00:44:39,718 --> 00:44:42,012
Fine. We accept the new conditions,
but with a demand.
929
00:44:42,054 --> 00:44:44,181
We need to make a key hire or two
930
00:44:44,223 --> 00:44:45,808
of the kind of folks who understand
931
00:44:45,849 --> 00:44:47,351
that whole "gobs of money" thing.
932
00:44:47,393 --> 00:44:48,519
Especially in...
even in the kind of markets
933
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:49,728
we are dealing with now.
934
00:44:49,770 --> 00:44:50,979
I'll meet your prospectives,
935
00:44:51,021 --> 00:44:52,231
just to rubber-stamp...
936
00:44:52,272 --> 00:44:53,982
No way. Unless we fuck one up,
937
00:44:54,358 --> 00:44:56,402
we hire who we want to fulfill
our needs. That's our condition.
938
00:44:56,443 --> 00:44:58,529
And we need to be
able to get time with you
939
00:44:58,570 --> 00:45:00,197
when we need counsel. Sacker is great.
940
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:02,157
You're great, Kate.
As are Scooter and Wags.
941
00:45:02,199 --> 00:45:03,575
But there are big decisions we will need
942
00:45:03,617 --> 00:45:04,868
the direct Mike magic on.
943
00:45:05,077 --> 00:45:06,787
You'll keep Wags and Scooter informed.
944
00:45:06,829 --> 00:45:09,665
And Sacker on anything
legal or legal adjacent.
945
00:45:09,707 --> 00:45:12,418
And I'll make myself available weekly.
946
00:45:12,459 --> 00:45:14,795
But you two need to run
this place profitably
947
00:45:14,837 --> 00:45:18,465
while I work on banging this
country back into shape.
948
00:45:18,507 --> 00:45:21,051
It's been said one is
either a hammer or an anvil.
949
00:45:22,678 --> 00:45:24,806
Good people have been
the anvil for too long.
950
00:45:38,193 --> 00:45:40,320
I know you're tight with them,
that you have relationships,
951
00:45:40,362 --> 00:45:42,865
and it's no fun taking the
position you have to on this.
952
00:45:42,906 --> 00:45:45,325
But it's necessary, and I appreciate it.
953
00:45:45,367 --> 00:45:47,161
Hey, I'm your house counsel.
954
00:45:47,202 --> 00:45:50,706
The gig is to protect you
against all threats,
955
00:45:50,748 --> 00:45:52,416
foreign and domestic.
956
00:45:52,458 --> 00:45:54,293
And I can't get to where I'm going
957
00:45:54,334 --> 00:45:56,211
until you get to where
you're going first.
958
00:46:02,468 --> 00:46:03,594
You hear that shit?
959
00:46:04,219 --> 00:46:05,429
Hammer and anvil?
960
00:46:05,637 --> 00:46:07,556
That's fucking Hitler
from Munich in '29.
961
00:46:08,891 --> 00:46:10,267
Is he hoping people won't notice,
962
00:46:10,309 --> 00:46:11,435
or that they will?
963
00:46:12,686 --> 00:46:13,729
I'm not sure.
964
00:46:15,773 --> 00:46:17,775
But we've got to figure
this the fuck out.

What the fuck?
971
00:46:36,335 --> 00:46:38,295
I got to nail the doggy door shut.
972
00:46:38,337 --> 00:46:40,214
Your wife let us in.
973
00:46:45,677 --> 00:46:48,472
Who's he, your dentist?
974
00:46:48,514 --> 00:46:49,807
I don't even know what that means.
975
00:46:49,848 --> 00:46:51,391
We've met, like, twice.
976
00:46:51,433 --> 00:46:52,518
What happened?
977
00:46:52,726 --> 00:46:54,269
You had a whole office and a company.
978
00:46:54,311 --> 00:46:55,979
Now you have a garage and a bathrobe.
979
00:46:56,021 --> 00:46:58,148
If I think the word "blowjob,"
980
00:46:58,190 --> 00:47:01,039
I want to be able to say
the word "blowjob."
981
00:47:01,074 --> 00:47:03,195
- Naturally.
- You're trying to be funny,
982
00:47:03,237 --> 00:47:04,780
but you get it, right?
983
00:47:04,822 --> 00:47:06,532
I mean, the Street these days,
984
00:47:06,573 --> 00:47:09,535
it's a woke fucking preschool.
985
00:47:09,576 --> 00:47:11,870
You miss rolling out mats for naptime
986
00:47:11,912 --> 00:47:14,623
and skip juice boxes once,
it's a major fucking felony.
987
00:47:14,665 --> 00:47:17,167
You had culture problems at the office.
988
00:47:17,648 --> 00:47:19,127
Culture. Ugh.
989
00:47:19,169 --> 00:47:21,797
You either earn, or you do not.
990
00:47:21,839 --> 00:47:23,841
And you started losing your analysts,
then your traders,
991
00:47:23,882 --> 00:47:25,384
and even your back office.
992
00:47:25,425 --> 00:47:26,802
Then your outside money.
993
00:47:26,844 --> 00:47:28,637
- Then, even Mafee.
- He told you?
994
00:47:28,679 --> 00:47:30,347
I smelled it on him.
995
00:47:30,389 --> 00:47:32,182
Well, despite all that bullshizzle,
996
00:47:32,224 --> 00:47:33,684
I'm still a gunslinger.
997
00:47:33,725 --> 00:47:35,185
And a gunslinger's what we need.
998
00:47:35,394 --> 00:47:36,937
For what?
999
00:47:36,979 --> 00:47:38,522
Philip and I run Michael
Prince Capital together.
1000
00:47:38,564 --> 00:47:40,440
Yeah, I heard something about that.
1001
00:47:40,482 --> 00:47:42,484
Props to you.
1002
00:47:42,526 --> 00:47:44,236
We're here to offer you a PM job.
1003
00:47:45,988 --> 00:47:47,990
- Is that right?
- Yes.
1004
00:47:48,031 --> 00:47:49,867
We'd start you off with your own book,
1005
00:47:49,908 --> 00:47:51,535
20% more capital under
management than when you left.
1006
00:47:51,577 --> 00:47:53,704
Yeah, and what about the
Great Gazoo over there?
1007
00:47:53,745 --> 00:47:55,455
How long before he starts
getting up in my business?
1008
00:47:55,497 --> 00:47:56,957
You mean Prince? He won't.
He left it to us.
1009
00:47:57,165 --> 00:47:58,834
It's true.
He's busy with other projects.
1010
00:47:58,876 --> 00:48:00,794
And while he did dictate
overall expectations,
1011
00:48:00,836 --> 00:48:02,504
he leaves the strat and execution to us.
1012
00:48:02,546 --> 00:48:05,299
A lot of latitude. A lot of freedom.
1013
00:48:05,340 --> 00:48:08,886
Yeah, I know latitude means
freedom in this context.
1014
00:48:12,347 --> 00:48:13,724
Can I say "blowjob"?
1015
00:48:13,765 --> 00:48:15,809
Yes, but not to anyone.
1016
00:48:15,851 --> 00:48:17,269
Yeah, not in anyone's presence,
1017
00:48:17,311 --> 00:48:18,729
but you can think it loud as you want.
1018
00:48:18,770 --> 00:48:20,480
Then I pass.
1019
00:48:20,522 --> 00:48:22,399
- So you're happy here?
- Like a pig in shit.
1020
00:48:22,441 --> 00:48:25,110

Now that's my kind of approach.
1027
00:48:50,052 --> 00:48:51,553
We were supposed to be in this together,
1028
00:48:51,595 --> 00:48:53,347
but you decided to go off-roading.
1029
00:48:53,388 --> 00:48:55,182
Well, you made me ashamed
to be seen in public.
1030
00:48:55,223 --> 00:48:56,433
Divided my family.
1031
00:48:56,475 --> 00:48:58,268
And you shut me out.
1032
00:48:58,310 --> 00:49:00,228
It created a vacuum of trust.
1033
00:49:00,270 --> 00:49:03,899
Chuck, this is making my job harder.
1034
00:49:03,941 --> 00:49:05,734
And you were the one who
wanted to take him down
1035
00:49:05,776 --> 00:49:07,319
- in the first place.
- Yeah.
1036
00:49:07,361 --> 00:49:08,862
I am the one supposed to take him down.
1037
00:49:08,904 --> 00:49:10,530
Or maybe I'll do nothing.
1038
00:49:10,572 --> 00:49:12,866
Either way, I won't do it in custody.
1039
00:49:12,908 --> 00:49:14,993
Oh, my God.
1040
00:49:15,035 --> 00:49:17,537
You're a student of history,
so you know that Federal Hall
1041
00:49:17,579 --> 00:49:19,831
was the original seat of
government in the colonies.
1042
00:49:19,873 --> 00:49:21,959
Sure. It's where George Washington
1043
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:23,627
took the first oath of office.
1044
00:49:23,669 --> 00:49:26,964
Bunch of very conflicted
men with a lot of flaws.
1045
00:49:27,005 --> 00:49:28,256
Lots.
1046
00:49:28,298 --> 00:49:29,967
To be sure.
1047
00:49:30,008 --> 00:49:31,885
But they were trying
to transcend themselves
1048
00:49:31,927 --> 00:49:33,887
with what they were doing in there,
what they were building.
1049
00:49:33,929 --> 00:49:37,224
They weren't doing it so that
one day a bunch of plutocrats
1050
00:49:37,265 --> 00:49:39,643
could live with more power
than the king they'd fled.
1051
00:49:39,685 --> 00:49:41,853
You set this whole thing up, didn't you?
1052
00:49:41,895 --> 00:49:43,981
Even though you were under a gag order.
1053
00:49:44,022 --> 00:49:45,816
Maybe for once,
something just worked out.
1054
00:49:45,857 --> 00:49:49,152
No. There are calls for your
release all over the city.
1055
00:49:49,194 --> 00:49:51,321
Politicians. Civic leaders.
1056
00:49:51,363 --> 00:49:53,240
There are goddamn marches being planned,
1057
00:49:53,281 --> 00:49:56,076
making it real tough to
empanel an unbiased jury.
1058
00:49:56,118 --> 00:49:58,161
I've got the governor on my call sheet,
1059
00:49:58,203 --> 00:50:00,080
and I have a feeling
I know what it's about:
1060
00:50:00,122 --> 00:50:01,748
dropping the case against you.
1061
00:50:02,893 --> 00:50:05,669
I were in your shoes,
I'd tell them to fuck themselves.
1062
00:50:05,711 --> 00:50:08,130
Of course,
we know where that attitude got me.
1063
00:50:08,171 --> 00:50:10,674
Bounced out of office. Twice.
1064
00:50:10,716 --> 00:50:13,343
You're making your only
friend into your enemy.
1065
00:50:13,385 --> 00:50:14,845
Not the first time.
1066
00:50:35,574 --> 00:50:37,284
All right, you motherfuckers!
1067
00:50:38,410 --> 00:50:40,537
When that bell rings,
I'm coming out of the gates
1068
00:50:40,579 --> 00:50:41,997
like I ain't been fed for a week.
1069
00:50:42,039 --> 00:50:43,707
Better try and stay with me
1070
00:50:43,749 --> 00:50:45,208
or get ready to look real fucking bad
1071
00:50:45,250 --> 00:50:46,710
come comp time.
1072
00:50:51,089 --> 00:50:52,758
I'm not sure I like this.
1073
00:50:52,799 --> 00:50:54,468
Am I supposed to like this?
1074
00:50:54,509 --> 00:50:56,094
Like you said,
we had to give them something.
1075
00:50:56,136 --> 00:50:57,804
This guy, though?
1076
00:50:57,846 --> 00:50:59,222
I can't have a whiff
of how he used to do it.
1077
00:50:59,264 --> 00:51:00,932
I can't have it.
1078
00:51:00,974 --> 00:51:02,726
I'll be sure to keep
him on a tight leash.
1079
00:51:02,768 --> 00:51:04,061
Make it a choke collar.
1080
00:51:10,609 --> 00:51:12,402
This smells good, doesn't it?
1081
00:51:14,237 --> 00:51:15,906
- Hi, Chuck.
- Nice to see you, Chuck.
1082
00:51:16,114 --> 00:51:18,241
- It's great to see you.
- Everybody's talking about you.
1083
00:51:18,283 --> 00:51:20,327
Well, that's good to hear. Thank you.
1084
00:51:23,455 --> 00:51:25,874
You seem to be enjoying yourself.
1085
00:51:25,916 --> 00:51:27,751
Well, you do the right thing
for the right reason,
1086
00:51:27,793 --> 00:51:30,462
the rest just seems
to take care of itself.
1087
00:51:30,504 --> 00:51:32,923
It's supposed to, yes.
1088
00:51:32,964 --> 00:51:34,633
- Hey, care to join us?
- No.
1089
00:51:34,674 --> 00:51:37,052
I just, uh, came to drop off Eva's bag.
1090
00:51:37,094 --> 00:51:38,428
She left it at my place.
1091
00:51:38,470 --> 00:51:40,388
She's staying with you tonight.
1092
00:51:40,430 --> 00:51:41,890
- I have a thing came up at work.
- You know, old days,
1093
00:51:42,140 --> 00:51:44,476
busy as you were,
you rarely missed a night with the kids.
1094
00:51:44,518 --> 00:51:47,437
Old days.
Yeah, well, a lot was different.
1095
00:51:47,479 --> 00:51:49,606
Uh-huh. Bye.
1096
00:51:58,490 --> 00:51:59,950
Right this way, folks.
1097
00:51:59,991 --> 00:52:01,618
I know, it's impressive, isn't it?
1098
00:52:01,660 --> 00:52:03,578
- Very old.
- It's crazy.
1099
00:52:03,620 --> 00:52:06,123
Keep together
for a good look at the tower.
1100
00:52:06,164 --> 00:52:09,459
At various times a prison,
1101
00:52:09,501 --> 00:52:13,088
a fortress, a royal residence.
1102
00:52:13,130 --> 00:52:14,756
For hundreds of years,
1103
00:52:14,798 --> 00:52:17,092
this was the start of a procession
1104
00:52:17,134 --> 00:52:18,593
to Westminster Abbey
1105
00:52:18,635 --> 00:52:21,555
for the coronation of a new monarch.
1106
00:52:21,596 --> 00:52:23,181
Stirring spot, isn't it?
1107
00:52:29,146 --> 00:52:31,481
And I think I understand
why you picked it.
1108
00:52:33,358 --> 00:52:39,030
But I was surprised this was the meet.
1109
00:52:39,072 --> 00:52:41,116
I thought I'd have to take
a longer flight to see you.
1110
00:52:41,158 --> 00:52:43,326
Maybe blindfolded,
1111
00:52:43,368 --> 00:52:45,328
so I couldn't lead them back to you,
even under duress.
1112
00:52:46,217 --> 00:52:49,332
Well, you know, geopolitics is fluid.
1113
00:52:51,042 --> 00:52:52,836
Early in the conflict,
1114
00:52:52,878 --> 00:52:56,214
Ukraine wanted Javelin anti-tanks,
other things.
1115
00:52:56,256 --> 00:52:58,133
Western governments weren't
able to get them there first.
1116
00:52:58,175 --> 00:53:00,135
You?
1117
00:53:00,177 --> 00:53:01,678
Structured the deal.
1118
00:53:03,346 --> 00:53:05,182
Took care of the financing.
Arranged a friend...
1119
00:53:05,223 --> 00:53:07,017
a guy you would not expect...
1120
00:53:07,058 --> 00:53:10,687
to find and deliver the actual arms.
1121
00:53:11,688 --> 00:53:13,481
Bought me a great deal of goodwill
1122
00:53:13,523 --> 00:53:15,483
all across the continent, EU and here.
1123
00:53:15,525 --> 00:53:17,819
Who's better than you at
seeing something like that
1124
00:53:17,861 --> 00:53:19,446
and figuring out how
to make a trade of it?
1125
00:53:19,487 --> 00:53:22,073
Your guy Prince must be better, right?
1126
00:53:23,325 --> 00:53:24,910
Don't call him my guy.
1127
00:53:26,745 --> 00:53:27,954
Even for you, that's harsh.
1128
00:53:28,121 --> 00:53:29,331
You're at that company every day.
1129
00:53:29,372 --> 00:53:31,124
He must be doing something right.
1130
00:53:31,166 --> 00:53:32,626
I didn't come over here for the cracks.
1131
00:53:32,667 --> 00:53:34,127
I came over here for your help, Bobby.
1132
00:53:35,629 --> 00:53:36,880
Walk away.
1133
00:53:36,922 --> 00:53:38,298
Not how I roll.
1134
00:53:39,716 --> 00:53:42,177
We built that place, you and me.
1135
00:53:42,219 --> 00:53:43,553
If I leave...
1136
00:53:43,595 --> 00:53:45,555
Look, it's still intact, for now.
1137
00:53:45,597 --> 00:53:47,599
But it won't be if the
guy who's running it
1138
00:53:47,641 --> 00:53:48,892
keeps going the way he is.
1139
00:53:48,934 --> 00:53:50,727
The people won't be intact.
1140
00:53:50,769 --> 00:53:52,729
What am I supposed to do, fix it?
1141
00:53:52,771 --> 00:53:55,607
It's not just the firm
I'm worried about.
1142
00:53:55,649 --> 00:53:57,067
I'm worried the damage he's going to do
1143
00:53:57,108 --> 00:53:58,902
is even greater outside.
1144
00:53:58,944 --> 00:54:00,946
But, yeah, let's...
let's start with figuring out
1145
00:54:00,987 --> 00:54:03,156
how we protect the thing that we made.
1146
00:54:05,867 --> 00:54:08,954
If that's why you've come,
you're not alone.
1147
00:54:17,420 --> 00:54:18,588
Well, shit.
1148
00:54:20,799 --> 00:54:22,717
Look what we have here.
1149
00:54:22,759 --> 00:54:24,511
Luke, Leia, and Chewie.
1150
00:54:27,305 --> 00:54:29,808
All that's missing is Han
and the Millennium Falcon.
1151
00:54:34,062 --> 00:54:36,231
I guess that's where I come in.
1152
