Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:08,293 --> 00:00:10,318
Previously on Billions...
2
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,520
Sandicot's not getting
the gaming license.
3
00:00:12,522 --> 00:00:15,088
The committee chose the
location that will bring
4
00:00:15,090 --> 00:00:18,191
the greatest benefit to the
greatest number of people.
5
00:00:18,193 --> 00:00:19,960
The gaming license was the guarantee
6
00:00:19,962 --> 00:00:21,428
that Sandicot would pay off the notes.
7
00:00:21,430 --> 00:00:23,496
So, it's fallen
upon all of you to figure out
8
00:00:23,498 --> 00:00:26,166
how to get us un-fucked.
9
00:00:26,168 --> 00:00:28,688
Austerity. It's your only option.
10
00:00:28,688 --> 00:00:31,103
Axe Cap was not what
I thought it would be.
11
00:00:31,105 --> 00:00:32,371
You care to be a little more specific?
12
00:00:32,373 --> 00:00:35,074
I'm supposed to give
their lawyer a heads-up,
13
00:00:35,076 --> 00:00:37,876
but I think I'm pretty safe to talk...
14
00:00:37,878 --> 00:00:39,478
if you bring me a subpoena.
15
00:00:39,480 --> 00:00:41,914
The Churchill World War II.
You sure, Chuck?
16
00:00:41,916 --> 00:00:44,516
"Never give in. Never give in."
17
00:00:44,518 --> 00:00:46,218
From the day I passed the bar,
18
00:00:46,220 --> 00:00:51,222
I have said those words to myself
the first morning of every trial.
19
00:00:51,224 --> 00:00:54,426
- You can still say the words.
- Hello. I'm Taylor.
20
00:00:54,428 --> 00:00:57,065
My pronouns are "they,"
"theirs," and "them."
21
00:00:57,100 --> 00:01:01,032
You see things differently.
That's an edge.
22
00:01:01,034 --> 00:01:02,934
That's Camelot right there.
23
00:01:02,936 --> 00:01:06,470
That is a picture of a
man running for office.
24
00:01:06,472 --> 00:01:09,247
- Our deal hold?
- Yes, but not for you.
25
00:01:09,282 --> 00:01:11,184
You want a session? See someone else.
26
00:01:11,219 --> 00:01:12,876
My office is off-limits.
27
00:01:12,878 --> 00:01:15,212
I should've told you about Wendy
before I even spoke to her.
28
00:01:15,214 --> 00:01:18,357
What if I won't see her?
I'll draw a line.
29
00:01:18,392 --> 00:01:19,716
Black Jack Foley.
30
00:01:19,718 --> 00:01:21,250
How are you, Charles?
31
00:01:21,252 --> 00:01:23,987
I'll be better if you help me
out with a little something.
32
00:01:23,989 --> 00:01:27,223
I know what you and your
two daddies did up in Sandicot.
33
00:01:42,221 --> 00:01:44,303
- synced and corrected by sot26 -
www.addic7ed.com
34
00:01:53,950 --> 00:01:56,317
Thanks, Wags, but... really?
35
00:01:57,829 --> 00:02:00,687
You got me VR goggles?
What, am I turning 13?
36
00:02:00,689 --> 00:02:02,756
If you were, Uncle Wagsy
would be getting you laid
37
00:02:02,758 --> 00:02:04,992
by the most beautiful
call girl in the state.
38
00:02:04,994 --> 00:02:07,228
But you're a big man
having a big birthday,
39
00:02:07,230 --> 00:02:11,332
so the gift matches.
And you're not there yet.
40
00:02:12,028 --> 00:02:13,199
It's called The Arque,
41
00:02:13,201 --> 00:02:16,669
the foremost luxury
bunker for end times.
42
00:02:16,671 --> 00:02:19,472
A hedge against humanity.
43
00:02:23,378 --> 00:02:26,346
Stocks of non-perishable food,
44
00:02:26,348 --> 00:02:30,549
water purification equipment,
seed banks,
45
00:02:30,551 --> 00:02:35,587
DNA cold storage, medical supplies,
and surgical equipment.
46
00:02:35,589 --> 00:02:39,124
Everything you need, jefe, even weapons.
47
00:02:39,126 --> 00:02:41,160
- For what?
- I don't know.
48
00:02:41,162 --> 00:02:44,063
Terrorists. Cannibals.
49
00:02:45,373 --> 00:02:46,997
Happy birthday.
50
00:02:46,999 --> 00:02:49,733
This coin means that
you've got a spot reserved.
51
00:02:49,735 --> 00:02:51,469
I made the down payment.
52
00:02:51,471 --> 00:02:54,539
And I'm not too classy to
say that it ran me 360K.
53
00:02:58,678 --> 00:03:00,311
Sic Transit Imperium.
54
00:03:00,313 --> 00:03:04,381
"So passes the empire."
55
00:03:05,884 --> 00:03:06,983
Thanks, Wags.
56
00:03:06,985 --> 00:03:09,419
I can see you put a lot
of thought into this.
57
00:03:09,421 --> 00:03:10,920
You get a spot for yourself?
58
00:03:10,922 --> 00:03:12,389
If humanity has to be rebuilt,
59
00:03:12,391 --> 00:03:14,791
it sure as fuck
shouldn't be in my image.
60
00:03:15,531 --> 00:03:16,826
Besides, you know I wanna be
61
00:03:16,828 --> 00:03:19,362
on the outside,
rocking with the marauders.
62
00:03:22,166 --> 00:03:24,333
Let's go.
63
00:03:26,770 --> 00:03:28,637
You went with a sailcloth option.
64
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,939
- Huh?
- Tent.
65
00:03:30,941 --> 00:03:33,609
Oh, yeah. Lara picked it.
66
00:03:37,371 --> 00:03:41,338
Axelrod has never made a move
as brazen, as public
67
00:03:41,340 --> 00:03:43,307
as looting a working class town.
68
00:03:43,309 --> 00:03:46,152
Yeah, now he's like the bad
guy in a Springsteen song.
69
00:03:46,187 --> 00:03:47,344
Exactly so.
70
00:03:47,346 --> 00:03:49,614
Oh, he's the boss man
closing down the factory
71
00:03:49,616 --> 00:03:51,716
and kicking Johnny 99 to the street.
72
00:03:51,718 --> 00:03:54,084
We're going to attack. Bryan.
73
00:03:54,700 --> 00:03:56,704
Now the thrust of this muni-bond deal,
74
00:03:56,704 --> 00:03:58,522
buying of the debt, forcing austerity...
75
00:03:58,524 --> 00:04:00,624
Austerity. What a lovely word
76
00:04:00,626 --> 00:04:03,560
for fucking the life
out of 180,000 people.
77
00:04:03,562 --> 00:04:06,763
Yeah. Well, the bond deal itself,
reprehensible as it is,
78
00:04:06,765 --> 00:04:09,566
is completely legal.
It's the timing that's suspect.
79
00:04:09,568 --> 00:04:12,802
Axe jumped in when he did
because he knew something.
80
00:04:12,804 --> 00:04:15,604
We laser in on how he
came by the information,
81
00:04:15,606 --> 00:04:17,907
who's involved, how money
may have changed hands.
82
00:04:17,909 --> 00:04:19,508
Information like this is never free.
83
00:04:19,510 --> 00:04:21,376
There's bribes and payoffs under it.
84
00:04:21,378 --> 00:04:23,603
Real Meeting Across the River shit.
85
00:04:24,849 --> 00:04:26,949
What, only white men
can listen to The Boss?
86
00:04:26,951 --> 00:04:28,550
Oh, not at all. No.
87
00:04:28,552 --> 00:04:31,653
In fact, like the main character
in that deep cut,
88
00:04:31,655 --> 00:04:33,087
Axe is not gonna win here.
89
00:04:33,089 --> 00:04:34,422
Something has to tie back to him.
90
00:04:34,424 --> 00:04:37,291
We're on a path.
Uh, location board, gaming commission.
91
00:04:37,293 --> 00:04:38,960
Uh, it's Albany.
92
00:04:38,962 --> 00:04:41,429
You can't have a PTA bake
sale without kickbacks.
93
00:04:41,431 --> 00:04:43,297
Let's mount up.
94
00:04:43,299 --> 00:04:44,899
Sandicot team has a
long drive ahead of us.
95
00:04:46,034 --> 00:04:49,302
Kate? That subpoena come
through for Steph Reed?
96
00:04:49,304 --> 00:04:52,906
Thirty minutes ago.
I will have her in here this afternoon.
97
00:04:52,908 --> 00:04:56,510
It's a big deal, source that close.
98
00:04:56,512 --> 00:04:58,979
You have my complete confidence.
99
00:04:58,981 --> 00:05:00,781
I thought Connerty did.
100
00:05:02,750 --> 00:05:05,818
I have enough confidence to go around.
101
00:05:07,655 --> 00:05:09,288
Aparicio Rodriguez.
102
00:05:09,507 --> 00:05:10,422
Plays third.
103
00:05:10,424 --> 00:05:12,391
Kid's the next Sal Bando.
104
00:05:12,393 --> 00:05:14,460
First round draft pick next June.
105
00:05:14,462 --> 00:05:17,363
I've been paying for private
lessons for him since he was 13
106
00:05:17,365 --> 00:05:20,231
in exchange for a chunk of the
kid's future signing bonus.
107
00:05:20,683 --> 00:05:22,133
It's recoup time.
108
00:05:22,135 --> 00:05:24,569
2,000 percent ROI...
109
00:05:25,071 --> 00:05:27,355
...even counting the dozen
other kids I invested in
110
00:05:27,390 --> 00:05:28,438
but had to cut loose.
111
00:05:29,442 --> 00:05:32,477
- All right, guys, take a break!
- Rodriguez, bring it in.
112
00:05:34,927 --> 00:05:36,447
I got you a birthday present.
113
00:05:36,449 --> 00:05:38,849
- Him?
- No. Klaxon.
114
00:05:38,851 --> 00:05:41,752
- Belgian car company.
- An auto scheme?
115
00:05:41,754 --> 00:05:44,622
I'd rather have the ballplayer.
At least this guy can hit.
116
00:05:44,624 --> 00:05:45,990
This is better.
117
00:05:45,992 --> 00:05:48,325
It's something I couldn't
discuss at the office.
118
00:05:49,309 --> 00:05:50,260
Did you know about this?
119
00:05:50,262 --> 00:05:52,696
Not the details, only that there
was something worth hearing.
120
00:05:52,698 --> 00:05:56,933
I heard rumors.
Dug into it off-campus, off the books.
121
00:05:56,935 --> 00:05:58,334
They're headed for a recall.
122
00:05:58,336 --> 00:06:01,337
Major fines, sanctions.
123
00:06:01,339 --> 00:06:03,806
- Bottom's gonna drop out.
- When?
124
00:06:03,808 --> 00:06:06,175
Unknown, but we gotta move
fast to lay in our position.
125
00:06:06,177 --> 00:06:07,777
This news won't hold long.
126
00:06:07,779 --> 00:06:09,546
What's your level of certainty?
127
00:06:39,275 --> 00:06:41,241
I am not uncertain.
128
00:06:41,243 --> 00:06:43,044
Any particulars I need to know?
129
00:06:43,046 --> 00:06:45,545
No.
130
00:06:46,530 --> 00:06:48,514
I'll think about it.
131
00:06:48,516 --> 00:06:51,885
Whoa, wait. This... this is automatic.
132
00:06:51,887 --> 00:06:53,419
This cow's got a bolt to its head,
133
00:06:53,421 --> 00:06:54,554
and it's hanging upside-down.
134
00:06:54,556 --> 00:06:56,422
You just gotta carve it up and eat it.
135
00:06:56,424 --> 00:06:59,492
Times are changing.
136
00:06:59,494 --> 00:07:01,527
No matter how not uncertain you are,
137
00:07:01,529 --> 00:07:04,964
these days, I take a laparoscope
to the fucking guts of every deal.
138
00:07:04,966 --> 00:07:07,666
Gents, if I may... What's to gain?
139
00:07:07,668 --> 00:07:09,568
A hundred million?
It's a drop in the bucket.
140
00:07:09,570 --> 00:07:11,904
It's not worth giving the
government the opening.
141
00:07:11,906 --> 00:07:13,438
Perfectly said, Wags.
142
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,240
Has he made you afraid of Rhoades,
143
00:07:15,242 --> 00:07:17,375
whispering pussy excuses in your ear?
144
00:07:17,377 --> 00:07:18,676
You're really that fucking scared, Axe?
145
00:07:18,678 --> 00:07:20,444
You back off, Bill.
146
00:07:20,446 --> 00:07:24,015
Why? 'Cause he can end my world,
burn my contacts,
147
00:07:24,017 --> 00:07:26,084
and keep every cent of
my bonus for himself?
148
00:07:26,086 --> 00:07:28,252
That... That's supposed
to make me hold my tongue?
149
00:07:28,254 --> 00:07:29,553
- Fuck, yeah.
- See? That...
150
00:07:29,555 --> 00:07:32,857
That's why you will never
buy and sell equities.
151
00:07:32,859 --> 00:07:34,959
No, all that's supposed
to make me more brazen
152
00:07:34,961 --> 00:07:36,627
when I know I'm fucking right.
153
00:07:36,629 --> 00:07:39,763
It's okay, Wags. It's okay.
154
00:07:39,765 --> 00:07:41,898
Come here.
155
00:07:46,438 --> 00:07:49,305
If I were standing where you are,
156
00:07:49,307 --> 00:07:52,142
I'd be even more
strident in my approach.
157
00:07:52,144 --> 00:07:54,844
But I'm standing here,
so I have to be the opposite...
158
00:07:54,846 --> 00:07:56,879
reflective, calm, considered.
159
00:07:56,881 --> 00:08:01,117
It's just about who I am at
this precise moment in time.
160
00:08:01,119 --> 00:08:03,686
What business are we in, hmm?
161
00:08:03,688 --> 00:08:05,788
I thought it was a business of profit,
162
00:08:05,790 --> 00:08:08,090
of free men and women,
163
00:08:08,092 --> 00:08:10,825
beyond the apparatchiks
and their pathetic rules.
164
00:08:10,827 --> 00:08:13,427
Yeah, all of that
and "Who is John Galt?"
165
00:08:13,429 --> 00:08:15,296
Look, I'm a rich man.
166
00:08:15,298 --> 00:08:18,633
You're a very rich man.
167
00:08:18,635 --> 00:08:21,469
If we can't live how we want,
then the terrorists have already won.
168
00:08:25,408 --> 00:08:26,940
Back in the cage!
169
00:08:27,799 --> 00:08:29,409
Let's go.
170
00:08:32,548 --> 00:08:33,827
What the fuck was that?
171
00:08:34,850 --> 00:08:37,551
That was a guy who was giving
me all the right questions.
172
00:08:56,370 --> 00:08:58,938
We're looking at a
police force at half-capacity.
173
00:08:58,940 --> 00:09:01,173
The library is open 12 hours a week.
174
00:09:01,175 --> 00:09:04,876
Why, that is... revolting.
175
00:09:04,878 --> 00:09:06,644
No, I see what's happening here.
176
00:09:06,646 --> 00:09:09,647
You are not invisible. You matter.
177
00:09:09,649 --> 00:09:11,316
- Lock him up!
- Yeah!
178
00:09:11,318 --> 00:09:14,786
If the law gives me the power, I will.
179
00:09:14,788 --> 00:09:17,689
And... if the law doesn't,
180
00:09:17,691 --> 00:09:19,990
well, then somebody needs to
get to work changing the law.
181
00:09:19,992 --> 00:09:21,002
Yeah.
182
00:09:22,061 --> 00:09:23,293
Robert Kennedy said,
183
00:09:23,295 --> 00:09:26,764
"Every society gets the
criminal it deserves."
184
00:09:26,766 --> 00:09:30,534
Sandicot sure didn't
deserve Bobby Axelrod.
185
00:09:30,536 --> 00:09:32,669
But you do deserve the law enforcement
186
00:09:32,671 --> 00:09:34,004
I plan on bringing.
187
00:09:34,605 --> 00:09:36,239
Right, right, right.
188
00:09:36,241 --> 00:09:37,248
Thank you.
189
00:09:41,113 --> 00:09:43,113
Go! Gotta go!
190
00:09:46,584 --> 00:09:47,984
You sure you don't want to talk to 'em?
191
00:09:47,986 --> 00:09:51,554
No. I don't need to sound my own horn.
192
00:09:51,556 --> 00:09:54,189
Now if the people of Sandicot
wanna trumpet it for me...
193
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,960
Sir.
194
00:09:57,962 --> 00:09:59,862
Will you come with me?
195
00:10:22,752 --> 00:10:24,218
Well, well.
196
00:10:24,220 --> 00:10:26,386
Impressive ground game,
197
00:10:26,388 --> 00:10:29,722
showing me there's no corner
of the state you don't touch.
198
00:10:29,724 --> 00:10:32,959
Ah, I planned to be up here.
199
00:10:32,961 --> 00:10:34,427
Sure.
200
00:10:36,899 --> 00:10:38,899
Ah, so...
201
00:10:41,703 --> 00:10:44,770
Uh, is your granddaughter
enjoying Washington?
202
00:10:44,772 --> 00:10:46,972
Just getting settled in. Hmm.
203
00:10:46,974 --> 00:10:51,210
She and I remain touched by
the generosity of your spirit.
204
00:10:51,212 --> 00:10:53,745
Good. That's nice to hear.
205
00:10:53,747 --> 00:10:57,449
Ah, there's someone,
uh, I need you to see.
206
00:10:57,451 --> 00:10:58,750
George Minchak.
207
00:10:58,752 --> 00:11:01,585
- Okay.
- She vets all of my candidates.
208
00:11:01,587 --> 00:11:03,288
You want her to know everything.
209
00:11:04,091 --> 00:11:05,556
It's a stress test.
210
00:11:05,558 --> 00:11:06,825
- Yeah.
- We prepare for what
211
00:11:06,827 --> 00:11:08,583
the opposition will use.
212
00:11:10,030 --> 00:11:13,064
I'm not really sure I'm
entirely comfortable with that.
213
00:11:13,066 --> 00:11:15,633
My last candidate who did not use her...
214
00:11:15,983 --> 00:11:17,267
was Spitzer.
215
00:11:17,269 --> 00:11:19,269
I'll fit her right in.
216
00:11:19,271 --> 00:11:22,206
And we need to do it right
now because of the attention
217
00:11:22,208 --> 00:11:25,675
this, uh, unofficial
campaign visit will bring.
218
00:11:25,677 --> 00:11:27,711
I'd have told you if I'd thought that...
219
00:11:27,713 --> 00:11:29,980
No, you... you don't need
to tell me everything.
220
00:11:29,982 --> 00:11:31,949
You need to tell Minchak everything.
221
00:11:32,281 --> 00:11:34,050
Then Minchak tells me.
222
00:11:35,453 --> 00:11:36,752
Hmm.
223
00:11:36,754 --> 00:11:39,488
- That was a joke.
- Okay.
224
00:11:39,490 --> 00:11:42,825
Uh, what you're doing up here,
um, feeling their pain?
225
00:11:42,827 --> 00:11:45,594
It's a time-honored tradition.
226
00:11:45,596 --> 00:11:48,931
And the way you refused to,
uh, play to the grandstand,
227
00:11:48,933 --> 00:11:51,599
thus ensuring that the, uh,
reporters will chase you
228
00:11:51,601 --> 00:11:54,702
to the next whistle stop,
that brings a smile.
229
00:11:54,704 --> 00:11:57,239
Yes, I felt that
to do interviews at this time
230
00:11:57,241 --> 00:11:58,806
would only have downside.
231
00:11:58,808 --> 00:12:01,309
Yeah, it's as worthless
as a $100 dollar bill
232
00:12:01,311 --> 00:12:02,844
to a rooster with a hard on.
233
00:12:04,581 --> 00:12:07,915
Well, if you're thinking of
having a meal before you leave,
234
00:12:07,917 --> 00:12:09,549
try the Garbage Plate.
235
00:12:09,551 --> 00:12:10,918
It's a local delicacy.
236
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,387
That looks hard to resist.
237
00:12:13,389 --> 00:12:15,555
You'll hardly be able.
238
00:12:18,460 --> 00:12:20,361
Eat the shit out of it.
239
00:12:24,500 --> 00:12:26,366
I've been angling to get
into investor relations
240
00:12:26,368 --> 00:12:27,666
for 16 months.
241
00:12:27,668 --> 00:12:29,602
Hmm. I didn't know that.
242
00:12:29,604 --> 00:12:32,071
Does that mean I haven't been
doing it assertively enough?
243
00:12:32,073 --> 00:12:34,440
Maybe, um, not necessarily.
244
00:12:34,442 --> 00:12:35,909
We can talk about ways
245
00:12:35,911 --> 00:12:37,810
to be more clear and more goal-oriented,
246
00:12:37,812 --> 00:12:39,145
if that's what you're interested in.
247
00:12:39,147 --> 00:12:42,114
It's just... I don't know
what I'd be selling.
248
00:12:42,116 --> 00:12:44,682
Sandicot is...
249
00:12:44,684 --> 00:12:47,386
is hard to swallow, placing the calls,
250
00:12:47,388 --> 00:12:51,223
crowing about our returns
at the expense of a town.
251
00:12:51,225 --> 00:12:53,274
Just makes me feel...
252
00:12:54,061 --> 00:12:56,295
so isolated...
253
00:12:56,297 --> 00:12:58,096
and kind of sad.
254
00:12:58,098 --> 00:13:00,898
A lot of people are
having problems with it.
255
00:13:00,900 --> 00:13:03,600
Do you ever feel that way,
256
00:13:03,602 --> 00:13:07,438
like the things we have to do
compromise us somehow?
257
00:13:09,708 --> 00:13:13,411
This isn't about me.
258
00:13:13,964 --> 00:13:15,246
But why are you feeling this way?
259
00:13:15,248 --> 00:13:17,047
Is it just about Sandicot?
260
00:13:17,049 --> 00:13:20,450
No. There are other things that I see.
261
00:13:20,452 --> 00:13:23,954
And I remember being a kid
and our reverend saying,
262
00:13:23,956 --> 00:13:26,522
- "He who looks..."
- Yeah, we need to stop here.
263
00:13:29,444 --> 00:13:30,927
I'm not sure having an
overgrown conscience
264
00:13:30,929 --> 00:13:33,562
is gonna help you get that
investor relations job,
265
00:13:33,564 --> 00:13:34,896
you know?
266
00:13:36,733 --> 00:13:38,533
- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.
267
00:13:44,741 --> 00:13:47,776
- You know what I hate?
- Fish, fowl, or mammal?
268
00:13:47,778 --> 00:13:49,611
Learning something about myself.
269
00:13:49,613 --> 00:13:51,579
When is that bullshit just gonna stop?
270
00:13:51,581 --> 00:13:53,914
- Dollar Bill?
- What he said,
271
00:13:53,916 --> 00:13:56,617
he's kind of right. I've become a pussy.
272
00:13:56,619 --> 00:13:59,854
No. We just made a choice to
stop living on the edge is all.
273
00:13:59,856 --> 00:14:01,289
Is it?
274
00:14:02,698 --> 00:14:03,424
What'd she say?
275
00:14:04,373 --> 00:14:05,226
She told me to suck it up.
276
00:14:05,228 --> 00:14:08,462
Then she said an overgrown
conscience isn't gonna help me.
277
00:14:08,464 --> 00:14:11,164
She said that? Okay. She saw through it.
278
00:14:11,313 --> 00:14:13,000
Axe, I was thinking about
279
00:14:13,002 --> 00:14:15,102
my position here, and I think
I would make an excellent...
280
00:14:15,104 --> 00:14:17,570
It was a script, Deb. Don't internalize.
281
00:14:22,411 --> 00:14:24,610
Look who's making a racket in Sandicot.
282
00:14:26,314 --> 00:14:28,080
He's coming again, isn't he?
283
00:14:28,082 --> 00:14:29,982
He never wasn't.
284
00:14:33,621 --> 00:14:35,488
Tell Dollar Bill no on Klaxon.
285
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,498
What do you get a billionaire?
286
00:14:46,500 --> 00:14:49,167
God, I wish I had the stones to skip it.
I hate these things.
287
00:14:49,169 --> 00:14:50,701
You love parties.
288
00:14:50,703 --> 00:14:52,937
Well, I recently took the
Myers-Briggs personality test,
289
00:14:52,939 --> 00:14:55,073
and it turns out I'm an introvert.
290
00:14:55,075 --> 00:14:56,741
I'm not sure that test is rock-solid.
291
00:14:56,743 --> 00:14:58,742
I thought I like parties, but I don't.
292
00:14:58,744 --> 00:15:00,877
On a deeper level,
it disturbs my equilibrium.
293
00:15:00,879 --> 00:15:02,679
Is that why you woke up the
day after the Christmas party
294
00:15:02,681 --> 00:15:04,881
in a yellow snow drift
behind the strip joint?
295
00:15:04,883 --> 00:15:06,417
Exactly.
296
00:15:16,757 --> 00:15:18,528
Bearing of a Roman Centurion?
297
00:15:18,530 --> 00:15:21,197
Or slices through rough seas
298
00:15:21,199 --> 00:15:24,733
- like a Man-O-War?
- What?
299
00:15:24,735 --> 00:15:27,270
Birthday speech. You got skills?
300
00:15:27,272 --> 00:15:28,904
Not for... all that.
301
00:15:28,906 --> 00:15:31,607
But the party, I have a conflict.
302
00:15:31,609 --> 00:15:33,542
I want to gauge the
importance of attending.
303
00:15:33,544 --> 00:15:37,312
Axe doesn't take attendance,
but he knows who's in the room.
304
00:15:37,314 --> 00:15:39,763
- I'll leave it at that.
- Fuck.
305
00:15:41,885 --> 00:15:43,552
Did you just say "fuck"?
306
00:15:44,414 --> 00:15:45,520
I did.
307
00:15:48,459 --> 00:15:50,324
You're one of us now.
308
00:15:58,534 --> 00:16:00,367
What was the nature of
your job at Axe Capital
309
00:16:00,369 --> 00:16:02,103
as you understood it?
310
00:16:02,105 --> 00:16:06,573
I was to be next to Axe
in every meeting,
311
00:16:06,575 --> 00:16:10,543
to be the firewall
against illicit dealings.
312
00:16:10,545 --> 00:16:13,313
I was a witness and to make sure
313
00:16:13,315 --> 00:16:15,548
things were being done above board.
314
00:16:15,550 --> 00:16:17,283
Tell me about Axe.
315
00:16:17,285 --> 00:16:20,453
He was unreadable.
316
00:16:20,455 --> 00:16:23,422
At three o'clock, he was writing checks
317
00:16:23,424 --> 00:16:25,991
to aid earthquake
victims in the Caribbean.
318
00:16:25,993 --> 00:16:28,093
At 3:45, he was cornering the market
319
00:16:28,095 --> 00:16:31,963
on Churchill first editions
just to stick it to an enemy.
320
00:16:31,965 --> 00:16:34,766
And then one day,
he just fragged my ass.
321
00:16:34,768 --> 00:16:36,735
I never really saw it coming.
322
00:16:37,476 --> 00:16:38,803
Did he give an explanation?
323
00:16:38,805 --> 00:16:42,940
No. I guess he just didn't
want a witness anymore.
324
00:16:42,942 --> 00:16:45,743
Referred to himself as a Terminator.
325
00:16:45,745 --> 00:16:47,011
What does that mean?
326
00:16:47,013 --> 00:16:49,647
A cybernetic organism,
programmed to kill.
327
00:16:49,649 --> 00:16:51,616
Living tissue over
robotic endoskeleton...
328
00:16:51,618 --> 00:16:53,217
I've seen the movie. I just meant...
329
00:16:53,219 --> 00:16:56,053
He has some sort of programmed mission,
330
00:16:56,055 --> 00:16:57,621
and I was standing in the way.
331
00:16:59,991 --> 00:17:02,659
The day before he fired me,
Bill Stearn approached
332
00:17:02,661 --> 00:17:05,162
with a play that was
clearly over the line,
333
00:17:05,164 --> 00:17:08,097
citing a source named Victor.
334
00:17:09,450 --> 00:17:09,899
Did he say the...
335
00:17:09,901 --> 00:17:12,935
They didn't talk about it...
because I was in the room.
336
00:17:13,098 --> 00:17:15,204
But without me, one or both of them
337
00:17:15,206 --> 00:17:17,773
would have circled back,
no doubt about it.
338
00:17:17,775 --> 00:17:19,408
Or else Axe would've filled my position.
339
00:17:19,410 --> 00:17:22,678
No. He wanted no impediments
to illegal activity,
340
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,146
and that's what he has now.
341
00:17:24,148 --> 00:17:28,651
Dollar Bill's tough. We have a history.
342
00:17:28,653 --> 00:17:30,085
Anyone else?
343
00:17:31,788 --> 00:17:33,988
Try Taylor Mason.
344
00:17:33,990 --> 00:17:38,326
They have become something
of a prodigy, a go-to.
345
00:17:38,328 --> 00:17:40,495
Anything big Axe is wading into,
346
00:17:40,497 --> 00:17:43,798
Taylor's there with a snorkel mask.
347
00:17:47,704 --> 00:17:50,337
I believe it's time,
nay, long past time,
348
00:17:50,339 --> 00:17:55,242
to transform your charitable arm
and engender a permanent foundation.
349
00:17:55,244 --> 00:17:57,177
Properly stewarded,
it will write the name
350
00:17:57,179 --> 00:17:59,846
of your benevolence on the ages,
351
00:17:59,848 --> 00:18:03,550
alongside Carnegie, Vanderbilt.
A creation of consequence.
352
00:18:03,552 --> 00:18:06,919
Because otherwise, what's it all for?
Is that right?
353
00:18:06,921 --> 00:18:08,354
I don't pretend to answer
354
00:18:08,356 --> 00:18:11,257
that which lies in the
realm of the theologians.
355
00:18:11,259 --> 00:18:14,059
Yet you just happened to pitch
me legacy on my birthday?
356
00:18:14,061 --> 00:18:15,394
I won't claim happenstance.
357
00:18:15,396 --> 00:18:19,599
This is the time when a man like you
allows reflection to dictate action.
358
00:18:19,601 --> 00:18:23,668
He thinks I need him to steward
this whole legacy thing.
359
00:18:23,670 --> 00:18:25,136
You don't need me,
360
00:18:25,138 --> 00:18:28,172
but I would be qualified
for such a position.
361
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,775
What do you make at your current gig?
362
00:18:30,777 --> 00:18:32,277
I prefer not to really get into that.
363
00:18:32,279 --> 00:18:33,829
It's public record, Sean.
364
00:18:33,829 --> 00:18:36,448
Have some dignity and spare us the time.
365
00:18:36,450 --> 00:18:38,350
Two-hundred twenty-five thousand.
366
00:18:38,352 --> 00:18:42,119
Okay. And a, uh, "true steward"
367
00:18:42,121 --> 00:18:45,489
of a multi-billion dollar
charitable foundation,
368
00:18:45,491 --> 00:18:46,923
what would that put me back, Wags?
369
00:18:46,925 --> 00:18:48,692
In the range of $350,000
to $500,000 a year,
370
00:18:48,694 --> 00:18:49,926
I think it was.
371
00:18:49,928 --> 00:18:52,696
Yeah. See, I have looked
into this before.
372
00:18:52,698 --> 00:18:56,899
And you are not the first one in here
looking to double his salary.
373
00:18:59,873 --> 00:19:02,639
But today is your lucky day,
374
00:19:02,641 --> 00:19:06,075
because I do want to set up
a permanent foundation
375
00:19:06,077 --> 00:19:08,077
with you as its steward.
376
00:19:08,079 --> 00:19:09,779
I accept.
377
00:19:10,449 --> 00:19:12,715
With one urgent recommendation.
378
00:19:12,717 --> 00:19:14,816
Cancel your party.
379
00:19:14,818 --> 00:19:16,251
That's direct.
380
00:19:16,253 --> 00:19:18,119
You just offered me enough,
so I have to be.
381
00:19:18,121 --> 00:19:21,290
You cannot throw a lavish party
382
00:19:21,292 --> 00:19:24,393
at the very moment when you're
draining the meager resources
383
00:19:24,395 --> 00:19:26,995
of what amounts to a village
of apple-cheeked orphans.
384
00:19:26,997 --> 00:19:30,831
That party was organized long
before Sandicot got grounded.
385
00:19:30,833 --> 00:19:33,601
A change of course?
That's reactionary. Weak.
386
00:19:33,603 --> 00:19:35,670
I am not hiring you
to serve me weak tea.
387
00:19:35,672 --> 00:19:38,005
You're really hiring him? Why?
388
00:19:38,007 --> 00:19:41,241
Hired. We shook.
389
00:19:42,478 --> 00:19:44,878
I'm setting a course that
needs to be acknowledged
390
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,880
in all future stories
about wherever we go next.
391
00:19:47,882 --> 00:19:49,982
Ayles may be what he is,
392
00:19:49,984 --> 00:19:53,653
but he speaks the nasal language
of culture and credibility.
393
00:19:53,655 --> 00:19:55,622
And you just bought that.
394
00:19:55,624 --> 00:19:58,090
It's what all the great
philanthropists did,
395
00:19:58,092 --> 00:19:59,426
wrote their names on the ages
396
00:19:59,428 --> 00:20:02,529
and laundered their
reputations in the process.
397
00:20:02,531 --> 00:20:04,763
I'm keen to get started.
398
00:20:09,313 --> 00:20:11,437
Hey. I gotta go relieve Wendy.
399
00:20:11,439 --> 00:20:12,723
What was so important?
400
00:20:18,546 --> 00:20:19,945
Ice Juice.
401
00:20:19,947 --> 00:20:21,746
It's a natural beverage company.
402
00:20:21,748 --> 00:20:24,114
A proprietary process called Flash-Pas.
403
00:20:24,116 --> 00:20:25,683
I own a chunk of the company,
404
00:20:25,685 --> 00:20:28,586
and I've represented
the founder... forever.
405
00:20:29,071 --> 00:20:31,177
He's done. He wants out.
406
00:20:31,177 --> 00:20:33,057
I can take it over.
407
00:20:33,059 --> 00:20:36,193
Majority ownership. It is within reach.
408
00:20:36,195 --> 00:20:37,662
I just need the cash.
409
00:20:39,264 --> 00:20:43,032
Your, uh, lockup period is ending?
410
00:20:43,034 --> 00:20:45,502
You said you wanted
to do something for me.
411
00:20:45,504 --> 00:20:47,838
- Now is when I need it.
- I meant what I said.
412
00:20:48,625 --> 00:20:52,075
I owe you, but, I mean,
you know my money's in a blind trust.
413
00:20:52,077 --> 00:20:53,510
I know. I don't want your money.
414
00:20:53,512 --> 00:20:57,045
Oh, I see.
415
00:20:57,047 --> 00:20:59,615
My father. You want his money.
416
00:21:01,051 --> 00:21:05,053
Except I never get involved
in his business deals
417
00:21:05,055 --> 00:21:07,757
for ethical as well as...
personal reasons.
418
00:21:07,759 --> 00:21:09,358
Chuck, this is my chance.
419
00:21:09,360 --> 00:21:11,560
This IPO is... It's a blockbuster.
420
00:21:11,562 --> 00:21:14,529
This is... This is that leap
that I've always talked about,
421
00:21:14,531 --> 00:21:16,364
the one I've been waiting
my whole life to take.
422
00:21:16,366 --> 00:21:19,267
Well, you know him.
Why don't you just call?
423
00:21:19,269 --> 00:21:21,536
Well, if it comes from you,
he'll take it more seriously.
424
00:21:21,538 --> 00:21:25,239
If I make the call, then
it's tantamount to me endorsing it,
425
00:21:25,241 --> 00:21:28,476
which is... not something
I can do right now.
426
00:21:28,478 --> 00:21:29,877
Look, you know I see
427
00:21:29,879 --> 00:21:32,413
the inside of more deals
per day than anyone.
428
00:21:32,415 --> 00:21:33,814
This is the one that
I've been waiting for
429
00:21:33,816 --> 00:21:36,116
to get me out of that
goddamn law office.
430
00:21:36,118 --> 00:21:38,685
I do know that you would not be here
431
00:21:38,687 --> 00:21:40,654
unless the deal was a winner.
432
00:21:40,656 --> 00:21:41,768
I'll...
433
00:21:42,922 --> 00:21:44,941
Let me think.
434
00:21:46,094 --> 00:21:48,861
Of course. Of course.
435
00:21:48,863 --> 00:21:50,463
All right.
436
00:21:51,999 --> 00:21:54,901
Look what Wags got me.
437
00:21:54,903 --> 00:21:56,436
The Arque?
438
00:21:56,438 --> 00:21:59,472
Luxury survival bunker. It's a scam.
439
00:21:59,474 --> 00:22:01,974
Why does everything need to be a scam?
440
00:22:01,976 --> 00:22:06,210
When the Armageddon comes,
the doors will be locked.
441
00:22:06,212 --> 00:22:09,714
I think it's a good idea, a fail-safe.
442
00:22:09,716 --> 00:22:11,783
The end could come sooner
than anyone might think.
443
00:22:11,785 --> 00:22:12,784
Yeah, it might already have come.
444
00:22:12,786 --> 00:22:15,787
We just don't know it yet.
445
00:22:15,789 --> 00:22:20,524
Well, what do you think'll happen
when it all really goes to shit?
446
00:22:20,951 --> 00:22:22,292
Well...
447
00:22:22,294 --> 00:22:24,161
Getting to the mountains
could be a problem.
448
00:22:24,858 --> 00:22:27,064
We'd have to let the pilot
and his family in the Arque.
449
00:22:27,066 --> 00:22:29,567
Yeah. We'd really
have to build it ourselves,
450
00:22:29,569 --> 00:22:31,335
recruit all the security forces
451
00:22:31,337 --> 00:22:33,136
just to ensure absolute loyalty.
452
00:22:33,138 --> 00:22:35,573
Mm, and secrecy, you know?
453
00:22:35,575 --> 00:22:38,274
No VR sales tours.
454
00:22:38,276 --> 00:22:40,510
And we'd also have to
make room for my family,
455
00:22:40,512 --> 00:22:42,545
Matty and Mary and Ned
456
00:22:42,547 --> 00:22:45,448
and Connie and Lu and Mo, Sean.
457
00:22:45,450 --> 00:22:47,717
Yeah, I'm not sure about that, Lar.
458
00:22:47,719 --> 00:22:49,318
Excuse me?
459
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:50,987
Well, we wouldn't
leave them just to die.
460
00:22:50,989 --> 00:22:53,690
We'd buy two Arques,
ours in the Canadian Rockies,
461
00:22:53,692 --> 00:22:57,047
and one for your family in... Jersey.
462
00:22:58,128 --> 00:23:01,262
- So generous.
- Well, fuck it.
463
00:23:01,264 --> 00:23:04,032
I should probably just go
down with the whole ship,
464
00:23:04,034 --> 00:23:07,636
this fucking tent,
hedge funds, all of it.
465
00:23:09,272 --> 00:23:12,907
Half my life now is
ass-covering and optics,
466
00:23:12,909 --> 00:23:17,512
fucking optics of everything
from parties to put options.
467
00:23:19,582 --> 00:23:22,817
I'm spending half a mil
on some stuffed shirt
468
00:23:22,819 --> 00:23:24,652
to brush up my fucking image.
469
00:23:27,123 --> 00:23:30,490
Come on, maybe we should
split for the weekend, now,
470
00:23:30,492 --> 00:23:32,225
before we need the goddamn Arque.
471
00:23:32,227 --> 00:23:33,560
And bail on the party?
472
00:23:33,562 --> 00:23:35,729
Just the two of us.
We'll celebrate our way.
473
00:23:35,731 --> 00:23:37,230
No.
474
00:23:37,232 --> 00:23:40,166
Big occasions like this
need to be marked,
475
00:23:40,168 --> 00:23:41,935
acknowledged,
476
00:23:41,937 --> 00:23:45,604
for posterity and for fun.
477
00:23:45,606 --> 00:23:48,040
You deserve to be celebrated.
478
00:23:48,042 --> 00:23:49,742
And you should be surrounded
by your whole gang
479
00:23:49,744 --> 00:23:51,343
so they can honor you, too.
480
00:23:51,345 --> 00:23:54,413
They work for me.
They're not my friends.
481
00:23:54,415 --> 00:23:57,382
What about Wags and Dollar Bill?
482
00:23:57,384 --> 00:24:00,085
If they're not your friends,
they're kind of like brothers.
483
00:24:00,087 --> 00:24:03,721
You know, they deserve a chance
to show you how they feel.
484
00:24:03,723 --> 00:24:06,024
I'm not even gonna tell you
who you sound like right now.
485
00:24:07,211 --> 00:24:09,226
And Wendy, too.
486
00:24:10,564 --> 00:24:12,530
You know I decided not to see her.
487
00:24:12,532 --> 00:24:15,600
And I was clear about that,
and I've stuck to it.
488
00:24:15,602 --> 00:24:17,635
So... I don't know if she'll want...
489
00:24:17,637 --> 00:24:19,603
Just because you don't
talk to her professionally
490
00:24:19,605 --> 00:24:21,371
doesn't mean that you
can't take one night
491
00:24:21,373 --> 00:24:24,340
to commemorate the importance of it all.
492
00:24:24,342 --> 00:24:28,378
She's foundational to Axe Capital...
and to you.
493
00:24:35,554 --> 00:24:37,119
Hey. Sorry I'm late.
494
00:24:37,121 --> 00:24:40,003
No, it's okay. I was... tired.
495
00:24:40,357 --> 00:24:42,024
You were out of town?
496
00:24:42,026 --> 00:24:44,426
Uh...
497
00:24:44,428 --> 00:24:47,897
Yeah. I don't know if you heard,
but I was up in Sandicot.
498
00:24:48,867 --> 00:24:51,033
It's a real mess up there.
499
00:24:51,035 --> 00:24:54,268
Looking to punish those responsible.
500
00:24:56,439 --> 00:24:59,708
I was invited to Axe's birthday party.
501
00:24:59,710 --> 00:25:02,343
I said no.
502
00:25:02,345 --> 00:25:05,814
Hmm. What's that about?
503
00:25:06,963 --> 00:25:10,718
My readjustment back
at Axe Cap has been...
504
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,120
more difficult than I
thought it would be.
505
00:25:13,122 --> 00:25:14,387
How so?
506
00:25:14,389 --> 00:25:15,756
I've felt manipulated.
507
00:25:18,027 --> 00:25:20,594
I may have done some of that, too.
508
00:25:20,596 --> 00:25:22,395
I may have given you the impression
509
00:25:22,397 --> 00:25:27,034
that I was happy there,
and I may well end up that way.
510
00:25:27,036 --> 00:25:28,835
But the truth is, it's been bumpy.
511
00:25:30,019 --> 00:25:31,671
Well, why are you staying?
512
00:25:31,673 --> 00:25:33,439
Oh, you don't have to answer that...
513
00:25:33,441 --> 00:25:37,343
No, it's what I've been asking myself.
514
00:25:37,345 --> 00:25:40,013
I built something.
515
00:25:40,015 --> 00:25:43,082
I put myself into it, and now...
516
00:25:43,084 --> 00:25:46,818
It's not what you remembered,
not what you fell in love with.
517
00:25:46,820 --> 00:25:49,821
I think I went back
to see if I still could.
518
00:25:49,823 --> 00:25:53,591
Something I tell my patients
519
00:25:53,593 --> 00:25:56,862
when they're hesitating about
making some kind of move
520
00:25:56,864 --> 00:25:59,531
in their own life is,
sometimes you have to jump in...
521
00:25:59,533 --> 00:26:02,133
- Mm.
- all the way in to find out.
522
00:26:03,502 --> 00:26:05,970
They are lucky to have you.
523
00:26:05,972 --> 00:26:07,204
It's easy when it's about someone else.
524
00:26:07,206 --> 00:26:08,839
Yeah.
525
00:26:08,841 --> 00:26:10,274
It's about you, it's hard to know.
526
00:26:10,276 --> 00:26:12,643
When do you... keep working at it?
527
00:26:12,645 --> 00:26:16,047
When do you... give up?
528
00:26:17,583 --> 00:26:21,084
I don't know.
529
00:26:29,995 --> 00:26:33,063
Dollar Bill's telling the truth.
It looks clean.
530
00:26:33,065 --> 00:26:35,398
Even if they trace his burner
531
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:39,467
or get into his air-gapped
laptop, like I did,
532
00:26:39,469 --> 00:26:41,737
nothing will come back to you,
533
00:26:41,739 --> 00:26:43,471
unless somebody talked.
534
00:26:43,473 --> 00:26:45,974
Like his source?
535
00:26:45,976 --> 00:26:48,043
Victor Mateo. You were right.
536
00:26:48,045 --> 00:26:49,477
Fuck.
537
00:26:49,479 --> 00:26:51,947
This is complicated,
because Victor always puts himself
538
00:26:51,949 --> 00:26:55,349
where the money is,
but it's usually far from pristine.
539
00:26:55,351 --> 00:26:59,153
Well, then he's the potential weak link.
540
00:26:59,155 --> 00:27:01,089
He's either looking to
get back in your graces
541
00:27:01,091 --> 00:27:02,323
or trying to get close enough
542
00:27:02,325 --> 00:27:05,326
to jab a ricin-tipped
umbrella into your thigh.
543
00:27:29,845 --> 00:27:30,916
Hello?
544
00:27:30,918 --> 00:27:33,919
Oh. I was... calling for Wendy.
545
00:27:33,921 --> 00:27:36,756
She's not available. Who's calling?
546
00:27:36,758 --> 00:27:40,192
Lara Axelrod. This must be Chuck.
547
00:27:43,330 --> 00:27:45,830
That's right.
548
00:27:45,832 --> 00:27:47,966
Can I tell her what it's regarding?
549
00:27:47,968 --> 00:27:50,501
My husband's birthday party.
550
00:27:50,503 --> 00:27:53,972
She RSVP'd "no,"
and I just wanted to make sure
551
00:27:53,974 --> 00:27:56,141
she knew that both Bobby and I would
552
00:27:56,143 --> 00:27:59,978
really be delighted to
see her at the house.
553
00:27:59,980 --> 00:28:04,982
Well, uh, I will certainly
pass along your message.
554
00:28:04,984 --> 00:28:09,920
But I do know that she
was feeling a lack of...
555
00:28:09,922 --> 00:28:12,589
clarity in terms of going.
556
00:28:12,591 --> 00:28:15,358
I'm guessing things are tense
and complicated right now,
557
00:28:15,360 --> 00:28:18,460
and this can't be helping.
558
00:28:18,462 --> 00:28:19,962
You're not guessing.
559
00:28:19,964 --> 00:28:23,465
I know this is weird.
I was just calling to say...
560
00:28:23,467 --> 00:28:25,067
she's back at the company,
561
00:28:25,069 --> 00:28:28,704
and the company will all be here,
so she should be, too.
562
00:28:28,706 --> 00:28:30,072
You know,
if we don't mark the milestones,
563
00:28:30,074 --> 00:28:31,974
we're just passing with the time.
564
00:28:31,976 --> 00:28:33,843
Well said.
565
00:28:34,633 --> 00:28:38,213
And I'd invite you as her plus one,
but under the circumstances...
566
00:28:38,215 --> 00:28:41,582
Yeah. There is
such a thing as too weird,
567
00:28:41,584 --> 00:28:43,685
even for all of us.
568
00:28:43,687 --> 00:28:47,789
Well, uh,
I will pass along your message.
569
00:28:47,791 --> 00:28:50,125
Good night.
570
00:29:02,905 --> 00:29:04,038
Chuck.
571
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,606
- Hi, Chuck.
- Hey.
572
00:29:06,608 --> 00:29:09,475
You know, I think that
you're not going to the party
573
00:29:09,477 --> 00:29:11,177
because of me,
574
00:29:11,179 --> 00:29:14,347
which pleases me in a way
that it probably shouldn't.
575
00:29:15,308 --> 00:29:16,883
Oh, Chuck.
576
00:29:16,885 --> 00:29:18,184
Wendy,
577
00:29:18,186 --> 00:29:19,552
I say go to the party.
578
00:29:19,554 --> 00:29:22,121
Either it'll feel right or it won't.
579
00:29:22,474 --> 00:29:24,557
But...
580
00:29:24,559 --> 00:29:27,459
you gotta jump in and find out.
581
00:29:47,146 --> 00:29:48,679
How's Victor been?
582
00:29:52,638 --> 00:29:54,952
Look, I would've told you
it came from him,
583
00:29:54,954 --> 00:29:56,420
but the last time
I mentioned his name...
584
00:29:56,422 --> 00:29:58,256
For good fucking reason.
585
00:29:58,258 --> 00:30:01,557
- Because Steph Reed was there.
- Yeah, because I fired his ass.
586
00:30:01,559 --> 00:30:04,895
And sure, I paid him off
to keep the peace, but...
587
00:30:04,897 --> 00:30:07,530
My God, I think
he'd still love to roast me.
588
00:30:10,668 --> 00:30:12,369
You trust me? Right?
589
00:30:12,371 --> 00:30:13,703
With my life.
590
00:30:13,705 --> 00:30:16,806
Because there's certain
guys you just know about.
591
00:30:16,808 --> 00:30:20,276
You look 'em in the eye, and you know.
592
00:30:20,278 --> 00:30:23,345
Other guys, you know things about.
593
00:30:23,347 --> 00:30:26,548
And with Victor, it... it's both.
Yeah, I know him.
594
00:30:26,550 --> 00:30:28,951
But also...
595
00:30:28,953 --> 00:30:31,320
I know things about him.
596
00:30:31,322 --> 00:30:34,655
And the things I know, he can't fuck me,
597
00:30:34,657 --> 00:30:36,324
so he can't fuck you.
598
00:30:36,326 --> 00:30:38,936
So that might be enough for you.
I understand.
599
00:30:38,971 --> 00:30:42,496
But it's not enough for me, not anymore.
600
00:30:45,468 --> 00:30:49,537
You know,
before the Old West gunslingers
601
00:30:49,539 --> 00:30:52,572
were turned into dime store
paperbacks and cartoons,
602
00:30:52,574 --> 00:30:56,676
the word "outlaw" meant something.
603
00:30:56,678 --> 00:30:59,546
It meant that the law
didn't apply to you.
604
00:30:59,548 --> 00:31:01,014
No protection.
605
00:31:01,016 --> 00:31:02,882
You run across a guy on a forest road,
606
00:31:02,884 --> 00:31:05,585
he could kill you. No repercussions.
607
00:31:06,488 --> 00:31:08,787
I mean... you used to love Victor,
608
00:31:08,789 --> 00:31:11,490
and trust him before all this started.
609
00:31:11,492 --> 00:31:15,027
He didn't do anything to
deserve the fate you gave him.
610
00:31:15,029 --> 00:31:18,164
That's what makes
this decision so tricky.
611
00:31:18,166 --> 00:31:21,000
He had the right to cold dish me.
612
00:31:21,002 --> 00:31:24,703
I just don't know that he's past it yet.
613
00:31:24,705 --> 00:31:27,872
Oh.
614
00:31:27,874 --> 00:31:29,774
Why don't you ask him yourself?
615
00:31:32,413 --> 00:31:34,154
Look him in the face.
616
00:31:35,949 --> 00:31:38,116
That's your present.
617
00:31:38,118 --> 00:31:42,086
And you might find it's worth
more than a hundred million.
618
00:31:53,866 --> 00:31:56,433
So, Steph Reed...
619
00:31:56,435 --> 00:31:58,469
I wish she were more of an asset.
620
00:31:58,471 --> 00:32:00,470
Axelrod has been very careful.
621
00:32:00,472 --> 00:32:02,738
Here are the notes from the interview,
if you're interested.
622
00:32:03,781 --> 00:32:05,008
Terminator?
623
00:32:05,010 --> 00:32:07,676
Cyberdyne Systems, series 800,
Resistance Infiltrator.
624
00:32:07,678 --> 00:32:10,146
- Got it.
- It's kind of a miss,
625
00:32:10,148 --> 00:32:13,495
so I went back into the Sandicot file
and ran this down.
626
00:32:14,819 --> 00:32:16,818
Old stock car.
627
00:32:16,820 --> 00:32:20,255
Title was transferred to casino
developer, Donald Thayer,
628
00:32:20,257 --> 00:32:21,990
from Bobby Axelrod.
629
00:32:22,795 --> 00:32:26,461
Gentlemen, start your engines.
630
00:32:32,802 --> 00:32:34,201
Thought you forgot the way in here.
631
00:32:34,203 --> 00:32:36,870
Know it by heart.
632
00:32:36,872 --> 00:32:38,605
Couple things.
633
00:32:38,607 --> 00:32:40,774
- Okay. Go.
- Deb Kawi.
634
00:32:41,716 --> 00:32:44,111
I knew you made her.
635
00:32:44,113 --> 00:32:45,812
The next time you tell someone
to lose their conscience
636
00:32:45,814 --> 00:32:49,583
- will be the first time.
- Don't run people at me.
637
00:32:49,585 --> 00:32:51,617
- Got you in the office.
- No.
638
00:32:51,619 --> 00:32:53,753
I'm here because of the other thing.
639
00:32:55,061 --> 00:32:56,489
Your birthday.
640
00:32:58,095 --> 00:33:01,461
Okay. What, specifically, about that?
641
00:33:01,463 --> 00:33:05,165
Your wife asked me to come.
Said you wanted me there.
642
00:33:06,334 --> 00:33:08,900
- Is it true?
- I think you know me well enough
643
00:33:08,902 --> 00:33:12,037
to know the answer to that question.
644
00:33:59,817 --> 00:34:01,283
Quite a hole you've dig yourself
645
00:34:01,285 --> 00:34:04,153
right here in the middle of
scenic Kingsford, Thayer.
646
00:34:04,155 --> 00:34:08,557
It's not my best. It's not my worst.
647
00:34:09,860 --> 00:34:12,428
I just have one question,
648
00:34:12,430 --> 00:34:15,830
the only question that matters.
649
00:34:15,832 --> 00:34:18,500
Who is Bobby Axelrod to you?
650
00:34:18,945 --> 00:34:20,499
He's a friend.
651
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,706
Why else would he have given
me that Dodge out front?
652
00:34:25,708 --> 00:34:29,144
Figured you knew that if you
were here asking questions.
653
00:34:29,146 --> 00:34:30,978
I also know about that
above-market lease
654
00:34:30,980 --> 00:34:33,147
you signed on his Sandicot land.
655
00:34:34,030 --> 00:34:37,618
Is it wrong to overspend?
656
00:34:37,620 --> 00:34:39,186
My wife dings me for that all the time.
657
00:34:39,188 --> 00:34:40,787
- Uh-huh.
- Yeah, you know,
658
00:34:40,789 --> 00:34:42,689
- I see something I like...
- Nah.
659
00:34:42,691 --> 00:34:44,924
No one will believe that.
660
00:34:44,926 --> 00:34:46,226
Oh, not when we run 'em through
661
00:34:46,228 --> 00:34:48,362
the litany of business
dealings you've engaged in
662
00:34:48,364 --> 00:34:51,897
that could, uh, most charitably
be described as shady
663
00:34:51,899 --> 00:34:53,866
and most accurately as criminal.
664
00:34:54,709 --> 00:34:56,135
Fraudulent loan applications,
665
00:34:56,137 --> 00:34:58,304
union payoffs, stiffing vendors,
666
00:34:58,306 --> 00:35:01,907
and yet, writing off
the expenses on your account.
667
00:35:01,909 --> 00:35:05,878
You do everything to save
a buck on the business end.
668
00:35:09,115 --> 00:35:11,183
Are you leveraging me?
669
00:35:12,919 --> 00:35:17,255
I've been strong-armed
by the vowel guys.
670
00:35:17,257 --> 00:35:19,857
- Never bent.
- Oh.
671
00:35:19,859 --> 00:35:21,693
Oh, I bet you'd like to
put me in that hole...
672
00:35:22,852 --> 00:35:24,195
like you used to do it.
673
00:35:24,197 --> 00:35:26,997
Then pour the concrete.
674
00:35:26,999 --> 00:35:30,234
They never find 'em
when you do that, do they?
675
00:35:30,236 --> 00:35:32,236
No one wants to tear
a whole building down,
676
00:35:32,238 --> 00:35:36,173
but you can't now.
Now, you're respectable... ish.
677
00:35:37,577 --> 00:35:39,042
You've changed your narrative.
678
00:35:39,044 --> 00:35:42,178
So let me suggest a new
chapter in your story,
679
00:35:42,180 --> 00:35:44,647
one in which you are the
unindicted co-conspirator
680
00:35:44,649 --> 00:35:46,882
rather than a defendant.
681
00:35:46,884 --> 00:35:48,685
Which story is that?
682
00:35:48,687 --> 00:35:50,820
The story of Sandicot.
683
00:35:50,822 --> 00:35:53,022
Let me tell it to you,
then you tell it back,
684
00:35:53,024 --> 00:35:55,958
if it's true, of course, which it is.
685
00:35:57,261 --> 00:35:59,861
You and Axelrod entered
into a criminal conspiracy
686
00:35:59,863 --> 00:36:03,232
to bribe Marc Capparello
for inside information
687
00:36:03,234 --> 00:36:05,534
on the deliberations of
the Location Committee
688
00:36:05,536 --> 00:36:07,736
and where they were
gonna put your casino.
689
00:36:09,139 --> 00:36:11,172
Wow.
690
00:36:11,174 --> 00:36:13,709
You're some fucking gangster,
691
00:36:13,711 --> 00:36:17,645
swaggering up here, making threats.
692
00:36:17,647 --> 00:36:20,214
From you, "fucking gangster"
sounds like a compliment.
693
00:36:20,216 --> 00:36:22,650
Not how I meant it.
694
00:36:22,652 --> 00:36:26,254
Axelrod is not your friend.
695
00:36:26,256 --> 00:36:28,589
Let me help you keep on the right side.
696
00:36:28,591 --> 00:36:32,158
You'd love to know what I got on him.
697
00:36:34,041 --> 00:36:35,094
Problem is,
698
00:36:35,096 --> 00:36:38,765
I don't need whatever
deal or immunity you got.
699
00:36:38,767 --> 00:36:43,136
See, I already have my umbrella.
700
00:36:43,138 --> 00:36:45,538
I'm singin' in the fucking rain.
701
00:36:45,540 --> 00:36:47,240
You?
702
00:36:47,242 --> 00:36:51,243
You're just standing there, gettin' wet.
703
00:36:55,916 --> 00:37:00,252
I'll see you on Pearl Street
at my arraignment...
704
00:37:00,254 --> 00:37:01,687
if you got the brass.
705
00:37:17,970 --> 00:37:19,904
Three and two, count is full.
706
00:37:19,906 --> 00:37:23,173
I grew up playing stickball.
707
00:37:23,175 --> 00:37:25,275
You wanna grab that broom
handle and stand in?
708
00:37:25,277 --> 00:37:26,843
I'll get too intense.
709
00:37:26,845 --> 00:37:28,378
Okay.
710
00:37:33,218 --> 00:37:35,519
People are telling me
I can't miss your party.
711
00:37:36,899 --> 00:37:39,189
No, because those people
think the only way to advance
712
00:37:39,191 --> 00:37:42,591
is by following the
rules and social mores.
713
00:37:42,593 --> 00:37:45,328
They have no fucking idea
why we do what we do.
714
00:37:45,330 --> 00:37:47,563
I don't think I'm any better than them.
715
00:37:47,565 --> 00:37:48,997
Of course you do.
716
00:37:48,999 --> 00:37:52,501
You even know it a little bit.
717
00:37:52,503 --> 00:37:54,704
Do not feel obligated to attend.
718
00:37:55,575 --> 00:37:57,539
Okay.
719
00:37:59,209 --> 00:38:00,809
Why are you missing it, by the way?
720
00:38:00,811 --> 00:38:02,677
You don't wanna party with me?
721
00:38:02,679 --> 00:38:04,312
It's my sister's wedding.
722
00:38:04,314 --> 00:38:07,415
Rehearsal dinner on
Mackinac Island in the U.P.
723
00:38:07,417 --> 00:38:09,951
- Michigan.
- Oh, yeah. I know.
724
00:38:09,953 --> 00:38:11,386
Not a lot of flights.
725
00:38:11,388 --> 00:38:14,221
You're rich.
They're called private planes.
726
00:38:14,433 --> 00:38:16,189
I almost booked it.
727
00:38:16,191 --> 00:38:18,058
I just don't know if I
can actually get on it.
728
00:38:18,060 --> 00:38:19,693
The carbon footprint alone is...
729
00:38:19,695 --> 00:38:21,729
You're really that worried
about the world ending?
730
00:38:21,731 --> 00:38:23,330
Yes.
731
00:38:24,391 --> 00:38:25,766
What about your own world?
732
00:38:26,652 --> 00:38:28,335
Not so much.
733
00:38:28,337 --> 00:38:31,604
Well, before that
existential dread racks you,
734
00:38:31,606 --> 00:38:33,573
buy some offsets.
735
00:38:33,575 --> 00:38:35,140
Donate to the Rainforest Alliance.
736
00:38:35,142 --> 00:38:37,142
As a matter of fact, if you do that,
737
00:38:37,144 --> 00:38:40,045
I'll have Deb book the plane for ya.
Done. Move on.
738
00:38:40,047 --> 00:38:42,114
It's not just that. It's...
739
00:38:42,116 --> 00:38:46,018
I never thought I'd be thinking
about living this life.
740
00:38:46,020 --> 00:38:47,853
You're living it already.
741
00:38:49,423 --> 00:38:51,757
Do you think I ever thought I'd be here?
742
00:38:53,026 --> 00:38:55,627
I never thought I'd be more than
just a numbers guy at the track.
743
00:38:55,629 --> 00:38:56,995
Aqueduct?
744
00:38:56,997 --> 00:38:59,431
Nah. Trotters. I'd still be at the track
745
00:38:59,433 --> 00:39:02,233
if it weren't for this one guy,
a gambler.
746
00:39:02,235 --> 00:39:05,135
He worked a seat at Commodities.
He thought I'd be good.
747
00:39:05,137 --> 00:39:09,039
So he took me to Four World Trade,
and I saw it immediately.
748
00:39:09,041 --> 00:39:11,876
I could read the tape just
like the odds on the board.
749
00:39:11,878 --> 00:39:14,779
It was like walking into something
between a casino and the U.S. Mint.
750
00:39:14,781 --> 00:39:17,481
So I bought a seat at
the exchange for 64K,
751
00:39:17,483 --> 00:39:18,783
and that was it.
752
00:39:18,785 --> 00:39:20,484
Is that a common career trajectory?
753
00:39:20,486 --> 00:39:23,486
Not anymore. Wasn't back then either.
754
00:39:23,488 --> 00:39:25,422
And you're glad it went this way?
755
00:39:25,424 --> 00:39:27,490
Yeah. Why shouldn't I be?
756
00:39:27,492 --> 00:39:29,726
So before I let you get
back to your childhood,
757
00:39:29,728 --> 00:39:32,495
the moral of the story is...
758
00:39:32,497 --> 00:39:34,564
just get on the fucking plane, huh?
759
00:39:35,336 --> 00:39:37,166
No.
760
00:39:37,168 --> 00:39:40,536
The moral of the story is,
you get one life,
761
00:39:40,538 --> 00:39:42,871
so do it all.
762
00:40:19,074 --> 00:40:22,676
Why did I have Thayer dead to rights,
763
00:40:22,678 --> 00:40:25,144
and he wasn't even nervous?
764
00:40:25,146 --> 00:40:28,615
Why were you sitting with
Thayer in the first place?
765
00:40:28,617 --> 00:40:31,784
How does that help you
with headlines, blind items...
766
00:40:31,786 --> 00:40:34,052
community leaders?
767
00:40:34,054 --> 00:40:36,555
Oh, you weren't
encouraging me to be smart.
768
00:40:36,557 --> 00:40:39,492
You were protecting one of your own.
769
00:40:39,494 --> 00:40:41,660
Did you handpick him for the deal?
770
00:40:41,662 --> 00:40:45,163
Did I make a mistake with you?
771
00:40:45,165 --> 00:40:47,665
Are you fighting for inches or yards?
772
00:40:49,936 --> 00:40:54,839
I am so close to getting Axe.
773
00:40:54,841 --> 00:40:57,375
I can run on that.
774
00:40:57,377 --> 00:40:59,176
I can win on that.
775
00:40:59,178 --> 00:41:01,245
That's what we both want.
776
00:41:01,247 --> 00:41:04,214
If you are the man I think and...
and hope you are,
777
00:41:04,216 --> 00:41:08,519
you will get him... on something else.
778
00:41:08,521 --> 00:41:13,089
You know it's not the first time
Axe has gone bad on something.
779
00:41:13,091 --> 00:41:15,091
What did Thayer give you, four points?
780
00:41:17,496 --> 00:41:21,931
I don't handcuff. You're free
to go after Thayer if you want.
781
00:41:21,933 --> 00:41:24,967
But play out those dominoes first,
782
00:41:24,969 --> 00:41:27,269
and not just for Axe.
783
00:41:29,674 --> 00:41:32,608
Thayer takes a hit,
the casino goes away.
784
00:41:32,610 --> 00:41:36,045
Those upstate jobs go away.
785
00:41:36,047 --> 00:41:41,049
It leaks that my father
started things in Sandicot...
786
00:41:41,051 --> 00:41:43,484
and the last one falls on me.
787
00:41:43,486 --> 00:41:46,287
Chuck, Sandicot is a circle.
788
00:41:46,289 --> 00:41:48,890
Wherever you start on that path,
789
00:41:48,892 --> 00:41:52,961
it leads right back to you... to us.
790
00:41:52,963 --> 00:41:55,262
And right now,
no one knows that you and my father
791
00:41:55,264 --> 00:41:57,965
crushed that town as much as Axe.
792
00:41:57,967 --> 00:41:58,943
Yes.
793
00:41:59,835 --> 00:42:02,235
And why don't we keep it that way?
794
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,040
You know what, Jack?
795
00:42:06,042 --> 00:42:09,743
I think I'll get Axe on something else.
796
00:42:09,745 --> 00:42:12,545
Whatever you feel is best.

You're seeming... shy tonight.
804
00:42:46,245 --> 00:42:47,861
We can't escape our nature.
805
00:42:47,861 --> 00:42:49,580
Enough with the Myers-Briggs, Mafee.
806
00:42:49,582 --> 00:42:50,848
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
807
00:42:50,850 --> 00:42:51,892
The man here yet?
808
00:42:51,892 --> 00:42:53,583
- Nah, I haven't seen him.
- Cheers.
809
00:42:53,583 --> 00:42:56,020
What? Weird.
810
00:42:56,499 --> 00:42:57,321
Yeah?
811
00:42:57,981 --> 00:42:58,723
Hey.
812
00:42:59,666 --> 00:43:01,225
Have a seat.
813
00:43:09,534 --> 00:43:12,135
Fuck. Thayer stonewalled us?
814
00:43:12,137 --> 00:43:15,739
I'm not gonna shield you
from this, Bryan, all right?
815
00:43:15,741 --> 00:43:19,442
I have decided not to
pursue Thayer or Sandicot,
816
00:43:19,444 --> 00:43:22,678
for strategic reasons.
817
00:43:23,814 --> 00:43:25,313
- Politics.
- Yeah.
818
00:43:26,633 --> 00:43:28,817
Plain and simple.
819
00:43:28,819 --> 00:43:30,148
Tell the team.
820
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,016
Welcome to my bowling club.
821
00:44:03,018 --> 00:44:04,718
I worked it out so I
had it private tonight.
822
00:44:04,720 --> 00:44:08,521
Sweet. How are ya, Victor?
823
00:44:10,159 --> 00:44:13,559
Lots of times, I thought about,
if I ran into you,
824
00:44:13,561 --> 00:44:16,762
what I might say... or do.
825
00:44:16,764 --> 00:44:20,299
Here I am. Hit me. I can take it.
826
00:44:20,301 --> 00:44:22,001
That's in the past.
827
00:44:23,304 --> 00:44:25,637
Fuck you, Axe.
828
00:44:25,639 --> 00:44:27,872
You think every time you take
a meeting or take a shit,
829
00:44:27,874 --> 00:44:30,942
it's deep and filled with wisdom.
830
00:44:30,944 --> 00:44:33,144
But you made a mistake letting me go.
831
00:44:33,146 --> 00:44:37,115
You cut me, but you cut
yourself worse in the process.
832
00:44:37,117 --> 00:44:38,683
You're not wrong, Victor.
833
00:44:38,685 --> 00:44:41,552
You were collateral damage.
I regretted it.
834
00:44:41,554 --> 00:44:44,722
- Really?
- Briefly.
835
00:44:44,724 --> 00:44:48,425
And for a few moments after,
which surprised me.
836
00:44:48,427 --> 00:44:50,094
You getting soft?
837
00:44:58,637 --> 00:45:00,771
I came all the way out here, Victor,
838
00:45:00,773 --> 00:45:05,074
on the recommendation of a dear friend,
839
00:45:05,076 --> 00:45:07,076
to look at you.
840
00:45:10,181 --> 00:45:14,851
- What do you see?
- A man who's stuck...
841
00:45:14,853 --> 00:45:19,254
at a boutique firm,
a glorified day trader.
842
00:45:19,256 --> 00:45:23,491
Making good money,
but not as good as it used to be.
843
00:45:23,493 --> 00:45:25,827
But that's not the sticky part.
844
00:45:26,797 --> 00:45:31,466
You can't be who you are,
and it's ripping you up.
845
00:45:31,468 --> 00:45:33,635
Bit by bit.
846
00:45:34,741 --> 00:45:37,805
What do you have and what do you want?
847
00:45:38,744 --> 00:45:41,909
I want back in. Not with the main fund.
848
00:45:41,911 --> 00:45:45,512
I understand you can't do that,
and I don't want you to.
849
00:45:45,514 --> 00:45:50,184
I want my own shop, a satellite.
850
00:45:50,769 --> 00:45:54,387
Terms will be very generous for you
the first few years,
851
00:45:54,389 --> 00:45:58,057
and I will give you the
prime fucking meats.
852
00:46:00,095 --> 00:46:03,229
Everything I know about Klaxon.
853
00:46:03,231 --> 00:46:08,168
Internal memos, company documents.
854
00:46:08,170 --> 00:46:10,468
It's bigger than a recall.
855
00:46:10,470 --> 00:46:14,006
You leak this cover-up,
they'll drown in lawsuits.
856
00:46:14,008 --> 00:46:15,707
You could cover at zero.
857
00:46:22,712 --> 00:46:24,382
Start looking for office space.
858
00:46:26,820 --> 00:46:28,953
Welcome back.
859
00:46:35,730 --> 00:46:38,611
_
860
00:46:41,067 --> 00:46:42,934
Donna!
861
00:46:42,936 --> 00:46:45,335
I need Sacker now!
862
00:46:50,408 --> 00:46:52,465
This. What the fuck is this?
863
00:46:53,879 --> 00:46:56,947
Steph Reed says that Axe
bought some enemy's books?
864
00:46:56,949 --> 00:46:59,182
Yes. He cornered the
first edition book market
865
00:46:59,184 --> 00:47:02,251
for those specific
books to spite a rival.
866
00:47:02,253 --> 00:47:04,553
And did she say...
867
00:47:04,555 --> 00:47:06,388
which books?
868
00:47:06,390 --> 00:47:09,024
Second World War by Churchill.
869
00:47:09,026 --> 00:47:11,460
Motherfucker.
870
00:47:16,667 --> 00:47:18,867
This is what they do.
871
00:47:18,869 --> 00:47:22,136
How the fuck do you compete
with something that powerful,
872
00:47:22,138 --> 00:47:25,139
that swims around for days on end,
873
00:47:25,141 --> 00:47:29,777
just waiting for the
faintest smell of blood
874
00:47:29,779 --> 00:47:32,080
so it can attack without warning,
875
00:47:32,082 --> 00:47:35,099
and with all the ferocity
and half the conscience
876
00:47:35,134 --> 00:47:37,363
of a goddamn bull shark?
877
00:47:40,489 --> 00:47:41,700
You can't.
878
00:47:44,193 --> 00:47:47,460
Unless you can somehow
anticipate where it will strike
879
00:47:47,462 --> 00:47:50,797
and then match its
strength when it does...
880
00:47:50,799 --> 00:47:53,366
which you can't.
881
00:47:54,668 --> 00:47:56,969
I can see books are a trigger for you...
882
00:47:56,971 --> 00:47:59,605
Thank you, Sacker.
883
00:48:18,090 --> 00:48:20,395
_
884
00:48:35,874 --> 00:48:38,542
Dad, I'm messengering something to you,
885
00:48:38,544 --> 00:48:41,878
and I will be over to
discuss it in a while.
886
00:48:44,115 --> 00:48:45,315
Good.
887
00:48:45,989 --> 00:48:48,884
Son, credit where it's due.
888
00:48:48,886 --> 00:48:52,588
This Ice Juice thing is a win.
889
00:48:52,590 --> 00:48:54,357
I've already spoken to Ira.
890
00:48:54,359 --> 00:48:57,893
He... ran me through
a few more of the numbers.
891
00:48:57,895 --> 00:49:00,595
Yeah, well, I knew if Ira said it,
it would be so.
892
00:49:00,597 --> 00:49:02,564
Yeah, he told me you almost
didn't bring it to me
893
00:49:02,566 --> 00:49:05,733
out of some worry about... conflict?
894
00:49:05,735 --> 00:49:07,769
That would've been shortsighted.
895
00:49:07,771 --> 00:49:13,375
I agree, and I am most certainly
taking the longer view at the moment.
896
00:49:13,377 --> 00:49:14,909
Good boy.
897
00:49:14,911 --> 00:49:18,379
We can't let this opportunity slide by.
898
00:49:18,381 --> 00:49:20,547
This IPO could be the start
899
00:49:20,549 --> 00:49:25,419
of a billion dollar windfall,
and it's a life-changer for him.
900
00:49:25,421 --> 00:49:27,821
You keep saying "we."
901
00:49:27,823 --> 00:49:29,723
I'm not liquid enough
to pull the trigger.
902
00:49:29,725 --> 00:49:31,525
I find that hard to fathom.
903
00:49:31,527 --> 00:49:34,260
My cash on hand happens to be
904
00:49:34,262 --> 00:49:36,829
tied up in an few real
estate deals right now,
905
00:49:36,831 --> 00:49:38,965
and it's not the right time to sell.
906
00:49:38,967 --> 00:49:42,002
Huh. Let me guess.
907
00:49:42,004 --> 00:49:43,203
Kingsford?
908
00:49:43,205 --> 00:49:45,771
I think it's best we not discuss that.
909
00:49:45,773 --> 00:49:49,109
With your position,
that would be unethical.
910
00:49:49,111 --> 00:49:52,777
But there is a solution.
911
00:49:52,779 --> 00:49:55,680
The chunk of cash I need
912
00:49:55,682 --> 00:49:58,317
is on a statement with your name on it.
913
00:49:58,319 --> 00:50:02,988
- The blind trust.
- But, uh, why tell me about it?
914
00:50:02,990 --> 00:50:04,789
Uh, isn't the whole point
to a blind trust that
915
00:50:04,791 --> 00:50:06,992
I'm not supposed to know what
you're doing with the money?
916
00:50:06,994 --> 00:50:08,592
No, not this time.
917
00:50:08,594 --> 00:50:12,063
That trust was set aside
for you and the children.
918
00:50:12,065 --> 00:50:15,266
But even the safest IPO
919
00:50:15,268 --> 00:50:19,404
has a different risk profile
than a normal investment.
920
00:50:19,406 --> 00:50:23,607
You have to know before I do it.
921
00:50:23,609 --> 00:50:26,176
You want me to break my public vow?
922
00:50:27,179 --> 00:50:31,581
The moment that I'm transitioning
into elected office?
923
00:50:31,583 --> 00:50:34,518
It's only damaging if it gets out.
924
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:37,854
I'll invest silently.
Your role will be hidden.
925
00:50:37,856 --> 00:50:41,324
We'll replace the funds as soon
as we sell some of the stock.
926
00:50:41,326 --> 00:50:43,959
No one's the wiser.
927
00:50:43,961 --> 00:50:45,994
Hmm.
928
00:50:48,699 --> 00:50:52,401
Well, if this is what it takes...
929
00:50:52,403 --> 00:50:55,137
uh, to help you and Ira...
930
00:50:55,139 --> 00:50:58,707
- Does that mean...
- Yeah.
931
00:50:58,709 --> 00:51:01,276
Crack it open.
932
00:51:01,764 --> 00:51:04,579
Use a bit for your venture.
933
00:51:05,387 --> 00:51:07,082
I trust your judgment.
934
00:51:08,848 --> 00:51:10,351
As always.
935
00:51:15,492 --> 00:51:17,691
Excuse me. Wendy.
936
00:51:18,504 --> 00:51:20,494
- Lara.
- Welcome.
937
00:51:20,496 --> 00:51:21,667
Thank you.
938
00:51:22,864 --> 00:51:25,799
You know, we never really had
you over to the house enough.
939
00:51:25,801 --> 00:51:27,067
Thanks for the invite.
940
00:51:27,069 --> 00:51:29,136
And I appreciate the personal follow-up.
941
00:51:29,138 --> 00:51:30,783
Chuck was, um...
942
00:51:31,073 --> 00:51:32,839
quite surprised to hear from you.
943
00:51:32,841 --> 00:51:35,608
Well, I'm glad you came.
944
00:51:35,610 --> 00:51:37,710
Bobby will really value you being here.
945
00:51:37,712 --> 00:51:40,379
Hmm. I couldn't tell when
I spoke to him at work.
946
00:51:41,682 --> 00:51:45,951
Oh. I thought you weren't
really talking at work.
947
00:51:45,953 --> 00:51:49,955
I'm sure it must be hard for you
to not have access to him,
948
00:51:49,957 --> 00:51:51,723
but we think it's best for everyone.
949
00:51:51,725 --> 00:51:54,058
Clear boundaries this time.
950
00:51:55,762 --> 00:51:57,729
Right...
951
00:51:57,731 --> 00:52:02,100
which is why I set the policy.
952
00:52:02,102 --> 00:52:03,335
It was the only way I could work there.
953
00:52:03,337 --> 00:52:04,669
I couldn't keep seeing him.
954
00:52:04,671 --> 00:52:07,271
It wasn't like doctor-patient
or even athlete-coach.
955
00:52:07,273 --> 00:52:10,407
It was more Hannibal-Clarice.
956
00:52:11,279 --> 00:52:14,545
Not seeing him was one of your
conditions for coming back.
957
00:52:14,547 --> 00:52:18,182
I thought it was important
for both of us, really.
958
00:52:20,453 --> 00:52:23,720
Thanks again for the invite.
I could use a drink.
959
00:52:35,367 --> 00:52:36,633
Where are you?
960
00:52:36,635 --> 00:52:40,236
I'm at the front gate. Come meet me.
961
00:53:17,105 --> 00:53:20,807
Let's get outta here. Fuck this.
962
00:53:20,809 --> 00:53:22,942
It's a mistake.
963
00:53:23,504 --> 00:53:25,054
I see how we made it...
964
00:53:25,847 --> 00:53:28,448
because we forgot.
965
00:53:28,450 --> 00:53:31,951
I forgot... where I'm from.
966
00:53:31,953 --> 00:53:35,588
I forgot that I don't give
a fuck about any of this.
967
00:53:35,590 --> 00:53:37,756
It's all sailcloth held up with poles
968
00:53:37,758 --> 00:53:40,326
lit by lighting designers and
ripped to the ground tomorrow.
969
00:53:44,064 --> 00:53:46,198
I wanna be with you.
970
00:53:46,907 --> 00:53:49,634
I wanna take you somewhere that matters.
971
00:53:52,071 --> 00:53:55,139
Everyone's waiting for you.
972
00:53:55,141 --> 00:53:58,343
Wags is about to give his speech.
973
00:54:03,283 --> 00:54:05,617
I've had quite a challenge this week
974
00:54:05,619 --> 00:54:10,621
to put together words, ordinary words,
975
00:54:10,623 --> 00:54:13,457
to describe the most
extraordinary man I ever met.
976
00:54:13,459 --> 00:54:16,627
A man as steely as a Roman centurion,
977
00:54:16,629 --> 00:54:20,697
cooler than Jean-Paul Belmondo.
978
00:54:20,699 --> 00:54:24,900
He's a jaguar shark, an American Sniper,
979
00:54:24,902 --> 00:54:27,035
every decision in the
space of seven breaths.
980
00:54:27,037 --> 00:54:28,738
If you cross him,
981
00:54:28,740 --> 00:54:30,706
he'll put a fucking
ding in your universe.
982
00:54:34,479 --> 00:54:37,146
But these are all exaggerations,
derivative.
983
00:54:39,216 --> 00:54:42,884
They don't limn the truth
of an indefinable essence.
984
00:54:44,988 --> 00:54:48,323
They don't speak to my real feelings.
985
00:54:48,325 --> 00:54:49,758
It's no exaggeration to say
986
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:52,327
that Bobby Axelrod is the
man who gave me my life,
987
00:54:52,329 --> 00:54:54,829
or at least let me keep it.
988
00:54:54,831 --> 00:54:59,733
But even more than that,
he's given me friendship...
989
00:54:59,735 --> 00:55:01,168
the kind of friendship,
it's more than money,
990
00:55:01,170 --> 00:55:03,256
it's more than talent, it's...
991
00:55:05,441 --> 00:55:07,441
...almost family.
992
00:55:07,443 --> 00:55:10,877
But unlike family, he never turns away.
993
00:55:10,879 --> 00:55:14,447
He's the only one who truly
sees me and doesn't judge.
994
00:55:16,418 --> 00:55:20,320
He accepts me as I am,
995
00:55:20,322 --> 00:55:23,088
and that kind of friendship is...
996
00:55:25,082 --> 00:55:27,126
everything.
997
00:55:27,128 --> 00:55:29,529
It is the stuff of life itself.
998
00:55:32,633 --> 00:55:35,534
So thank you...
999
00:55:35,536 --> 00:55:37,402
for my life.
1000
00:55:38,839 --> 00:55:40,672
Traders trade.
1001
00:55:40,674 --> 00:55:42,641
Lovers love.
1002
00:55:42,643 --> 00:55:46,144
Cars are meant to go.
1003
00:55:46,146 --> 00:55:48,813
Happy birthday, Axe,
1004
00:55:48,815 --> 00:55:50,247
wherever you are.
1005
00:55:52,418 --> 00:55:56,253
Way to go, Wags!
1006
00:55:56,255 --> 00:55:58,121
Axe didn't show up?
1007
00:55:58,123 --> 00:55:59,890
Who does that, skips his own party?
1008
00:55:59,892 --> 00:56:01,826
That's fucking fantastic.
1009
00:56:01,828 --> 00:56:02,893
Maybe he's an introvert, too.
1010
00:56:02,895 --> 00:56:05,595
No, he's not an introvert.
1011
00:56:05,597 --> 00:56:08,365
He just remembered he's an outlaw.
1012
00:56:08,367 --> 00:56:11,100
A fucking desperado.
1013
00:56:14,639 --> 00:56:17,540
Hey. Axe said to give this to you.
1014
00:56:21,380 --> 00:56:24,380
