Why is it that every time
I ask men if it was helpful,

While the idea of spending
some time together sounds fun.

The idea of talking about the
Overton Window and my life...

And as my Criminal Law
professor said on day one:
229
00:09:53,929 --> 00:09:58,053
I will do you the courtesy of
treating you like professionals.

You will address

And you will not be sitting
on your keister when you do.

Now, I assigned
Bordenkircher by email.

There is no pass. Only fail.

be, like, introductory...

you will be asked to
leave that day's class.

take crim law again.

I'm doing the keto thing,

567
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,780
So glad you gave us this
chance to talk carbon capture.
568
00:25:58,804 --> 00:26:00,178
Is that what we're talking?
569
00:26:00,261 --> 00:26:02,178
As you know, the price
has really been dropping.
570
00:26:02,261 --> 00:26:03,929
It's lower than
94 dollars a ton.
571
00:26:04,011 --> 00:26:05,679
But the real road
to profitability
572
00:26:05,762 --> 00:26:08,261

to create synthetic fuel.

00:26:08,345 --> 00:26:10,345
Uh huh. Ca-ching.

it's almost in line.

And that's before you
calculate the state tax incentives.

In California, for example...

Yeah, I crawled my way
up the corporate ladder
579
00:26:20,887 --> 00:26:22,553
so I could become a tax-grubber.

a little bit too much for me.

00:39:47,387 --> 00:39:49,470
Feels about the same...
876
00:39:49,553 --> 00:39:51,929
I've fucked it all up.
877
00:39:52,011 --> 00:39:54,261
I don't know how
to talk to any of 'em.
878
00:39:54,345 --> 00:39:56,237
I ceded the responsibility of
raising them to their mothers,
879
00:39:56,261 --> 00:39:57,845
while I was working.
880
00:39:57,929 --> 00:40:00,387
It was what I thought I was
supposed to do... to support them.
881
00:40:00,470 --> 00:40:03,178
But this is where we ended up.
882
00:40:03,261 --> 00:40:06,679
I'm a complete fucking washout.
883
00:40:06,762 --> 00:40:08,679
[sighs]
884
00:40:08,762 --> 00:40:11,470
I'm gonna get you a drink,
but I'm not gonna drink with you.
885
00:40:11,553 --> 00:40:13,053
I'm out to Yonkers.
886
00:40:15,261 --> 00:40:16,679
What'll you have?
887
00:40:16,762 --> 00:40:19,011
Another.
888
00:40:19,095 --> 00:40:21,845
I'll have another.
889
00:40:21,929 --> 00:40:24,178
Another... I can do it.
890
00:40:24,261 --> 00:40:26,220
It's not too late.
891
00:40:26,303 --> 00:40:30,178
I am not young, but she will be.
892
00:40:30,261 --> 00:40:31,929
Hallelujah, I'm gonna go again.
893
00:40:32,011 --> 00:40:33,428
A do-over.
894
00:40:33,512 --> 00:40:36,637
And finally get
it fucking right.
895
00:40:39,595 --> 00:40:41,720
[Senior] ...The people
of this community
896
00:40:41,804 --> 00:40:44,553
have been getting the short
end of the stick for generations.
897
00:40:44,637 --> 00:40:46,303
And quite frankly,
they're not very good
898
00:40:46,387 --> 00:40:47,929
at using what stick they get
899
00:40:48,011 --> 00:40:51,345
either as a lever or
kindling or whatever else.
900
00:40:51,428 --> 00:40:52,679
Which is sad.
901
00:40:52,762 --> 00:40:55,303
[Senior] But let's
stay on point.
902
00:40:55,387 --> 00:40:58,387
Entrust me with heading up
903
00:40:58,470 --> 00:41:00,887
this Opportunity Zone
904
00:41:00,970 --> 00:41:04,178
and I will use it as a lantern
905
00:41:04,261 --> 00:41:07,512
to lead these lost people
906
00:41:07,595 --> 00:41:12,053
out of the mess they've
made and into profitability.
907
00:41:12,136 --> 00:41:13,512
Thank you.
908
00:41:15,220 --> 00:41:17,303
Thank you, Mr. Rhoades.
909
00:41:17,387 --> 00:41:19,512
[Bledsoe] Mr. Prince,
you have the floor.
910
00:41:23,512 --> 00:41:25,303
Your father just presented.
911
00:41:25,387 --> 00:41:26,595
And?
912
00:41:28,929 --> 00:41:30,428
Oh boy...
913
00:41:30,512 --> 00:41:32,488
Mother taught me: If you don't
have anything nice to say...
914
00:41:32,512 --> 00:41:35,178
That bad, huh?
Got it. Who's next?
915
00:41:35,261 --> 00:41:36,428
Prince, then Axe.
916
00:41:36,512 --> 00:41:37,762
[sighs]
917
00:41:37,845 --> 00:41:39,261
[Prince] ...Profit comes, sure.
918
00:41:39,345 --> 00:41:41,595
But there's other
ways to make money.
919
00:41:41,679 --> 00:41:45,720
I could invest in
tobacco and plastics.
920
00:41:45,804 --> 00:41:48,261
But I prefer to
invest in people.
921
00:41:48,345 --> 00:41:50,011
In neighborhoods like this one.
922
00:41:50,095 --> 00:41:52,095
As I have done
with my partners...
923
00:41:52,178 --> 00:41:54,595
[Prince] In Chicago,
Detroit, Atlanta.
924
00:41:54,679 --> 00:41:57,637
We don't just build the
housing and the businesses.
925
00:41:57,720 --> 00:41:59,970
We don't just build the
fields and the courts.
926
00:42:00,053 --> 00:42:02,637
We establish the
leagues and the programs
927
00:42:02,720 --> 00:42:05,303
that keep the kids off
the streets and playing.
928
00:42:05,387 --> 00:42:07,053
Give the man a civilian medal.
929
00:42:07,136 --> 00:42:09,387
Mm. And I could use
an insulin pump. Stat.
930
00:42:09,470 --> 00:42:10,720
Or a barf bag.
931
00:42:15,804 --> 00:42:18,470
Our results and successes
speak for themselves.
932
00:42:18,553 --> 00:42:20,637
And before I wrap up,
it's incumbent upon me
933
00:42:20,720 --> 00:42:24,512
to sound a cautionary note about
certain of my colleagues here.
934
00:42:24,595 --> 00:42:27,261
To make sure this project
is executed as intended.
935
00:42:27,345 --> 00:42:28,970
I have brought
a special guest...
936
00:42:35,303 --> 00:42:36,595
[door closes]
937
00:42:37,679 --> 00:42:39,804
Meet Marc Capparello.
938
00:42:39,887 --> 00:42:42,553
[Prince] He's a former town
councilman from Sandicot.
939
00:42:42,637 --> 00:42:45,553
Where Robert Axelrod
made similar financial inroads
940
00:42:45,637 --> 00:42:46,762
into the community.
941
00:42:46,845 --> 00:42:48,220
How did that work out, Marc?
942
00:42:48,303 --> 00:42:50,553
Honestly? Not too well.
943
00:42:50,637 --> 00:42:53,178
[Marc] There was a lot of
rosy talk about the future
944
00:42:53,261 --> 00:42:54,887
and promises were made.
945
00:42:54,970 --> 00:42:57,387
Only for our town's
financing to be ripped away
946
00:42:57,470 --> 00:42:59,512
like one of those wax
jobs in a beauty salon.
947
00:42:59,595 --> 00:43:02,345
[Marc] Hmm? It really stung.
948
00:43:02,428 --> 00:43:04,512
And our town will
be recovering...
949
00:43:04,595 --> 00:43:07,011
Trying to grow its
hair back, if you will...
950
00:43:07,095 --> 00:43:09,512
For generations to come.
951
00:43:09,595 --> 00:43:12,679
I'm sorry.
952
00:43:12,762 --> 00:43:14,053
Thank you.
953
00:43:14,136 --> 00:43:15,762
[spectators murmuring]
954
00:43:17,387 --> 00:43:20,095
Told you, Axelrod: I hate it
when people mess with my money.
955
00:43:20,178 --> 00:43:22,720
[Bledsoe] Mr. Axelrod,
you have the floor.
956
00:43:25,595 --> 00:43:29,887
Let me tell you what
went wrong in Sandicot.
957
00:43:29,970 --> 00:43:33,929
It's true I made a
big investment there...
958
00:43:34,011 --> 00:43:39,011
and we all had high hopes
for the future... until this man...
959
00:43:39,095 --> 00:43:41,428
No, no! You're a sore
goddamned loser...
960
00:43:41,512 --> 00:43:43,553
Decided to pull his casino,
961
00:43:43,637 --> 00:43:45,637
for no reason other
than his own greed,
962
00:43:45,720 --> 00:43:48,345
and moved it to land
he held elsewhere.
963
00:43:48,428 --> 00:43:51,845
He left us all holding the bag.
964
00:43:51,929 --> 00:43:54,553
Now, efforts are
still being made.
965
00:43:54,637 --> 00:43:57,303
But that callous
style of development
966
00:43:57,387 --> 00:43:59,178
is one of the real
drivers for me here...
967
00:43:59,261 --> 00:44:02,637
Because this is different.
968
00:44:02,720 --> 00:44:03,720
This is home...
969
00:44:03,762 --> 00:44:06,053
What a steaming
pile of bullshit.
970
00:44:06,136 --> 00:44:07,261
Sir!
971
00:44:07,345 --> 00:44:09,679
[spectators murmuring]
972
00:44:09,762 --> 00:44:11,470
[door opens]
973
00:44:11,553 --> 00:44:13,011
[door closes]
974
00:44:13,095 --> 00:44:14,929
- Did you get that?
- Yeah.
975
00:44:15,011 --> 00:44:16,595
Can I move?
976
00:44:16,679 --> 00:44:18,053
Excuse me?
977
00:44:18,136 --> 00:44:19,470
Is there a rule that says
978
00:44:19,553 --> 00:44:20,821
we have to do this
here in the boardroom?
979
00:44:20,845 --> 00:44:23,095
♪ Dramatic music ♪
980
00:44:32,261 --> 00:44:35,637
You know why I can
see Yonkers' future?
981
00:44:35,720 --> 00:44:38,720
'Cause I can see its past.
982
00:44:38,804 --> 00:44:42,220
Right down there, that's
where Ricky's Clam House was.
983
00:44:42,303 --> 00:44:43,887
You know, you couldn't walk by
984
00:44:43,970 --> 00:44:46,345
without that smell
pulling you inside.
985
00:44:46,428 --> 00:44:49,845
Even when I could only afford
like, what, three baked clams,
986
00:44:49,929 --> 00:44:52,929
always found my way there.
987
00:44:53,011 --> 00:44:55,220
Two doors down
was Dicey Reilly's.
988
00:44:55,303 --> 00:44:57,261
- Dicey Reilly's.
- [woman] Yeah!
989
00:44:57,345 --> 00:44:58,745
I used to take my
best friend Ike...
990
00:44:58,804 --> 00:45:00,053
Damn right he did!
991
00:45:00,136 --> 00:45:01,970
Went there when
we were 14 years old.
992
00:45:02,053 --> 00:45:05,053
You know, we had fake IDs,
but they never asked for 'em.
993
00:45:05,136 --> 00:45:07,136
[Axe] I learned plenty in there.
994
00:45:07,220 --> 00:45:09,011
Like if an old guy
offers you odds
995
00:45:09,095 --> 00:45:11,136
if you take the
Giants and the points,
996
00:45:11,220 --> 00:45:13,762
don't take the damned
Giants and the points.
997
00:45:13,845 --> 00:45:16,762
[laughter]
998
00:45:16,845 --> 00:45:19,637
Used to take dates down
there to the Park Hill theater.
999
00:45:19,720 --> 00:45:22,303
Yeah, right. Our pal Freddie
used to work there as an usher,
1000
00:45:22,387 --> 00:45:24,845
would always open up the
back door and let us sneak in.
1001
00:45:24,929 --> 00:45:26,363
Yeah. And then of
course, afterwards,
1002
00:45:26,387 --> 00:45:27,529
we'd head over to see Bruno...
1003
00:45:27,553 --> 00:45:29,136
- Yeah.
- ..down at Capparello's.
1004
00:45:29,220 --> 00:45:30,780
And even though
Bruno's down in Florida,
1005
00:45:30,804 --> 00:45:33,387
living his dream,
the store still stands...
1006
00:45:33,470 --> 00:45:34,720
- Mm-hmm.
- And will
1007
00:45:34,804 --> 00:45:36,220
as long as I'm alive.
1008
00:45:36,303 --> 00:45:37,345
That's right.
1009
00:45:40,011 --> 00:45:41,929
Look, I'll tell ya, I...
1010
00:45:44,762 --> 00:45:49,011
I'm not an overly emotional guy,
1011
00:45:49,095 --> 00:45:52,679
but I could do this for every
single store in the town,
1012
00:45:52,762 --> 00:45:55,345
and all the houses
too, probably.
1013
00:45:55,428 --> 00:45:56,845
[Axe] Just as this man could...
1014
00:45:56,929 --> 00:45:58,095
[Axe] Come here.
1015
00:46:00,679 --> 00:46:02,762
Savion Williams.
1016
00:46:03,970 --> 00:46:07,303
This is very moving, but
this board has one concern:
1017
00:46:07,387 --> 00:46:08,762
that you're a leaver.
1018
00:46:08,845 --> 00:46:10,029
[Bledsoe] That you
won't stay the course.
1019
00:46:10,053 --> 00:46:12,804
No. No. Like Savion,
I was born here.
1020
00:46:12,887 --> 00:46:14,970
This was my childhood.
1021
00:46:15,053 --> 00:46:18,303
You know the house he
lives in now was my house.
1022
00:46:18,387 --> 00:46:21,345
But this whole town is my home.
1023
00:46:21,428 --> 00:46:25,261
And, yes, sure,
I left for a while,
1024
00:46:25,345 --> 00:46:27,095
but I'm back.
1025
00:46:27,178 --> 00:46:30,387
And the thought of anyone
else helping to rebuild this place.
1026
00:46:30,470 --> 00:46:33,220
Well, it just feels wrong.
1027
00:46:33,303 --> 00:46:34,512
They wouldn't understand.
1028
00:46:34,595 --> 00:46:36,470
[Axe] Though rebuild it we must,
1029
00:46:36,553 --> 00:46:40,929
not for nostalgia,
but for the future.
1030
00:46:41,011 --> 00:46:43,553
For Savion's future.
1031
00:46:43,637 --> 00:46:46,095
[Bledsoe] Wow. Thanks, Bobby.
1032
00:46:46,178 --> 00:46:47,929
[Bledsoe] That brought
me back. [chuckles]
1033
00:46:48,011 --> 00:46:49,595
We'll give you our
decision shortly.
1034
00:46:49,679 --> 00:46:51,595
- Okay.
- But thanks for that.
1035
00:46:51,679 --> 00:46:53,404
Thank you. Thank you.
I appreciate your time.
1036
00:46:53,428 --> 00:46:55,428
[Axe] Thanks very
much. Come on, buddy.
1037
00:47:00,095 --> 00:47:01,845
[knock on door, door opens]
1038
00:47:03,553 --> 00:47:04,762
[chuckles]
1039
00:47:04,845 --> 00:47:07,053
Heard how it all went up there,
1040
00:47:07,136 --> 00:47:09,595
that you got a taste of the
old Bobby Axelrod boogie.
1041
00:47:09,679 --> 00:47:11,512
- I've seen worse.
- [Chuck] Ah.
1042
00:47:11,595 --> 00:47:13,011
I've seen all kinds.
1043
00:47:13,095 --> 00:47:14,970
Yeah. I'll bet.
1044
00:47:15,053 --> 00:47:16,762
But you're gonna lose the O.Z.
1045
00:47:16,845 --> 00:47:18,387
unless you play
a little ball now.
1046
00:47:18,470 --> 00:47:20,095
I came here to tell you:
1047
00:47:20,178 --> 00:47:23,804
I've already felt too
much pull to my old ways.
1048
00:47:23,887 --> 00:47:26,345
[Prince] I've fought
to not be that person.
1049
00:47:26,428 --> 00:47:28,303
Escaping it once
was hard enough.
1050
00:47:28,387 --> 00:47:29,595
I can't give in to it now.
1051
00:47:29,679 --> 00:47:34,136
Yeah, Axe took out his lute
1052
00:47:34,220 --> 00:47:37,679
and played 'em a
hypnotic old folk ballad.
1053
00:47:37,762 --> 00:47:39,136
[Prince] He probably won it.
1054
00:47:39,220 --> 00:47:41,011
- Mm.
- [Prince] Sucks. It does.
1055
00:47:41,095 --> 00:47:44,762
But heck, I'm still rich
enough for twenty lifetimes.
1056
00:47:44,845 --> 00:47:48,804
That's not how you became
who you are, by giving up.
1057
00:47:48,887 --> 00:47:50,929
The problem is
the feeling you get...
1058
00:47:51,011 --> 00:47:54,136
And I know you get it, too...
when you engage in a fight like this,
1059
00:47:54,220 --> 00:47:56,261
in the way that
you're proposing.
1060
00:47:56,345 --> 00:47:57,637
It feels good.
1061
00:47:57,720 --> 00:47:59,679
Nope. That's a lie.
1062
00:47:59,762 --> 00:48:02,095
It feels truly great. [chuckles]
1063
00:48:02,178 --> 00:48:05,553
The endorphins. The adrenaline.
1064
00:48:05,637 --> 00:48:12,178
It all pushes you
further, deeper, darker.
1065
00:48:12,261 --> 00:48:13,553
Mm.
1066
00:48:16,762 --> 00:48:20,053
I had a game, senior year,
1067
00:48:20,136 --> 00:48:22,762
I put up sixty points.
1068
00:48:22,845 --> 00:48:25,136
The cheering with each bucket.
1069
00:48:25,220 --> 00:48:28,053
Knowing none of the
guys could stop me.
1070
00:48:28,136 --> 00:48:29,512
Woof!
1071
00:48:29,595 --> 00:48:30,845
[laughs]
1072
00:48:30,929 --> 00:48:32,679
Felt like a giant afterwards.
1073
00:48:32,762 --> 00:48:34,637
Couldn't sleep for two days.
1074
00:48:34,720 --> 00:48:39,053
And when I came down, I
saw how I had alienated myself
1075
00:48:39,136 --> 00:48:40,845
from my teammates and my family.
1076
00:48:40,929 --> 00:48:43,679
[Prince] I had
forgotten they existed.
1077
00:48:43,762 --> 00:48:47,637
[Prince] And just
went and got mine.
1078
00:48:47,720 --> 00:48:49,136
I've done the same in business.
1079
00:48:49,220 --> 00:48:51,720
Until I shut it down for good.
1080
00:48:53,887 --> 00:48:57,887
I will not let Axe
turn me back into...
1081
00:48:57,970 --> 00:49:01,804
[sighs] well, in his
words, a monster.
1082
00:49:03,887 --> 00:49:07,637
But did you win that game
when you scored the sixty?
1083
00:49:07,720 --> 00:49:09,470
Yah. Bet you did.
1084
00:49:09,553 --> 00:49:11,512
So do it again. Win this game.
1085
00:49:11,595 --> 00:49:13,387
Then feel bad.
1086
00:49:13,470 --> 00:49:15,261
Otherwise Bobby Axelrod wins.
1087
00:49:15,345 --> 00:49:16,720
And you did nothing about it.
1088
00:49:16,804 --> 00:49:18,136
You lose.

[Lambert] Oh,

1093
00:49:32,512 --> 00:49:35,387
Shoulda known, but Axe
said he wanted to talk.
1094
00:49:35,470 --> 00:49:37,220
He wanted you to talk. To us.
1095
00:49:37,303 --> 00:49:38,595
This is Wendy Rhoades.

[Wendy] Soak in the feeling,

because it'll be a
hundred times worse
1100
00:49:44,929 --> 00:49:46,863
when you get suckered out of
your position at this company.
1101
00:49:46,887 --> 00:49:49,470
Or you can get smart,
right fucking now.
1102
00:49:49,553 --> 00:49:51,095
Pow, huh?
1103
00:49:51,178 --> 00:49:53,428
Your rep is you build people
up, not knock 'em down.
1104
00:49:53,512 --> 00:49:55,178
Oh, when we're on the same team,
1105
00:49:55,261 --> 00:49:58,428
I'll have you hotter than the
barrel of a just-emptied M60.
1106
00:49:58,512 --> 00:50:02,136
Next week, you will announce
the new Argyra Petroleum,
1107
00:50:02,220 --> 00:50:04,595
striving to become the
first ESG-friendly company
1108
00:50:04,679 --> 00:50:06,261
in the Fortune 500.
1109
00:50:06,345 --> 00:50:09,095
We are trying to stop you from
the same fate the whalers had.
1110
00:50:09,178 --> 00:50:11,303
Back in the mid-1800s,
whaling was like Facebook.
1111
00:50:11,387 --> 00:50:14,095
Blubber was the oil that
lighted the Western world.
1112
00:50:14,178 --> 00:50:16,220
But by the second
half of that century,
1113
00:50:16,303 --> 00:50:17,679
whale oil was
replaced by kerosene.
1114
00:50:17,762 --> 00:50:19,387
Whaling became MySpace.
1115
00:50:19,470 --> 00:50:21,970
And then kerosene collapsed
with the invention of electricity.
1116
00:50:22,053 --> 00:50:24,303
So you can look like
a loser from 1830,
1117
00:50:24,387 --> 00:50:27,261
or you can look like a hero
of the 2020s and beyond.
1118
00:50:27,345 --> 00:50:29,011
[Wendy] To the
environmentalists, sure.
1119
00:50:29,095 --> 00:50:30,446
[Wendy] But even more to
the industry and the Street.
1120
00:50:30,470 --> 00:50:35,178
Because you will be
making so much money.
1121
00:50:35,261 --> 00:50:37,542
- I like how that sounds.
- [Wendy] You are a trailblazer.
1122
00:50:37,595 --> 00:50:39,261
And you are the
perfect person to do it.
1123
00:50:39,345 --> 00:50:40,845
They all already admire you.
1124
00:50:40,929 --> 00:50:42,970
They all already think
you're a maverick.
1125
00:50:43,053 --> 00:50:46,178
You will set the new
industry standard.
1126
00:50:46,261 --> 00:50:48,461
But we're still just dealing
with the icing on the cake,
1127
00:50:48,512 --> 00:50:49,804
not the cake itself.
1128
00:50:49,887 --> 00:50:51,970
The cake is that
you will get first look
1129
00:50:52,053 --> 00:50:53,720
at every one of
these impact deals.
1130
00:50:53,804 --> 00:50:54,720
You will set the terms.
1131
00:50:54,804 --> 00:50:57,178
And you will make more money
1132
00:50:57,261 --> 00:51:00,512
than all of your
competitors combined.
1133
00:51:00,595 --> 00:51:01,720

1134
00:51:01,804 --> 00:51:04,011
You're gonna greenwash me.

Clean as a newborn baby.
1136
00:51:05,762 --> 00:51:07,553
It's a greed play
that looks selfless.
1137
00:51:07,637 --> 00:51:09,595
It's the holy grail,
1138
00:51:09,679 --> 00:51:14,178
and you are Sir
Motherfucking Galahad.

Why do you think he
gave this insane speech?
1152

What do you think
he was trying to do?

Oh come on!
1154
00:51:50,970 --> 00:51:52,470
This part won't
be on the midterm.
1155
00:51:52,553 --> 00:51:54,233
I know you're all full
of lots of opinions,
1156
00:51:54,303 --> 00:51:56,223
you're just waiting for
someone to break the ice.
1157
00:51:56,303 --> 00:51:59,595
I see it as the ultimate
act of humiliation.
1158
00:51:59,679 --> 00:52:01,196
Sounds like you're
getting Freudian on me.
1159
00:52:01,220 --> 00:52:03,178
- Elaborate.
- Yeah, exactly...
1160
00:52:03,261 --> 00:52:05,762
It's classic masochism
death drive stuff.
1161
00:52:05,845 --> 00:52:08,205
[Narit] Rhoades was ready
to sacrifice his political career,
1162
00:52:08,261 --> 00:52:09,720
but only on his own terms.
1163
00:52:09,804 --> 00:52:12,720
But he did it to
win an election.
1164
00:52:12,804 --> 00:52:15,053
He's a cis white
man running for office.
1165
00:52:15,136 --> 00:52:16,321
[Kara] He's in a
privileged position
1166
00:52:16,345 --> 00:52:17,887
to control his own narrative.
1167
00:52:17,970 --> 00:52:19,387
[chuckles] I'm
honestly surprised
1168
00:52:19,470 --> 00:52:22,512
it took one of you so
long to mention privilege.
1169
00:52:22,595 --> 00:52:24,553
This might be a new record.
1170
00:52:24,637 --> 00:52:26,261
But I agree with you.
1171
00:52:26,345 --> 00:52:28,637
Is the speech subversive at all?
1172
00:52:28,720 --> 00:52:30,261
Not really, no.
1173
00:52:30,345 --> 00:52:32,929
[Cat] So maybe that's
exactly what masochism is.
1174
00:52:33,011 --> 00:52:35,136
It's the pursuit of autonomy in
1175
00:52:35,220 --> 00:52:37,679
and the control over
pain and suffering.
1176
00:52:37,762 --> 00:52:42,512
Rhoades played subservient
in order to win dominance.
1177
00:52:43,720 --> 00:52:47,804
But why don't we
ask Rhoades himself?
1178
00:52:47,887 --> 00:52:50,679

00:52:50,762 --> 00:52:52,178

As a self-identified submissive,

did you receive
any gratification...
1185
00:53:05,345 --> 00:53:09,303
what I mean is... did you
get off on giving this speech?
1186
00:53:09,387 --> 00:53:11,970
Uh...
1187
00:53:12,053 --> 00:53:16,303

When we are together, just us,

Yes.

take this much of a beat

to do a gut check.

Maybe the asshole whisperer.

1233

My father called me. To gloat.
1234
00:55:17,553 --> 00:55:20,720
And to tell me that his
alliance with Axe isn't over,
1235

it's only just beginning.

the decision must have caused.

I can tell you that yes,
these are the waters.
1239

them into a moat

But my father is used to doling
out advice, and not taking it.
1244
00:55:45,053 --> 00:55:47,303
My conscience is clear.
1245
00:55:47,387 --> 00:55:51,470
Well I, for one, am
grateful for your counsel.
1246
00:55:51,553 --> 00:55:55,720

I wanted you to hear it from me.

I'm fine with you
winning in Yonkers.

- [Prince] Yes.

I'll still have it
nearby, of course,
1264
00:57:00,303 --> 00:57:02,970
and my shield, to ward
off any possible attack,

but I sincerely hope
it won't be necessary.

could beat you in Yonkers.

man, Yonkers is you.
