Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,042 --> 00:00:03,044
Previously on Billions.
2
00:00:04,045 --> 00:00:05,463
I buy a half hour
3
00:00:05,463 --> 00:00:08,008
on every major network,
live speech.
4
00:00:08,008 --> 00:00:10,468
Solicit honest feedback
from your employees.
5
00:00:10,468 --> 00:00:13,221
Use it as fuel for the speech.
6
00:00:13,221 --> 00:00:15,724
He goes into the speech
confident, he comes out sailing.
7
00:00:15,724 --> 00:00:17,475
I've been told
I needed to see you.
8
00:00:17,475 --> 00:00:19,894
When Wendy wants something,
she's very persuasive.
9
00:00:19,894 --> 00:00:21,813
And that's why I called her.
10
00:00:21,813 --> 00:00:23,148
With Bradford running point,
11
00:00:23,148 --> 00:00:24,524
the feedback's
gonna be jet fuel.
12
00:00:24,524 --> 00:00:26,067
So you want us to go back around
13
00:00:26,067 --> 00:00:27,736
and troll for negative feedback?
14
00:00:27,736 --> 00:00:29,654
This could implode MPC,
15
00:00:29,654 --> 00:00:32,323
as well as the campaign
and all of our places in it.
16
00:00:32,323 --> 00:00:34,409
I would consider it
a personal favor.
17
00:00:35,702 --> 00:00:37,412
We are gonna do something
18
00:00:37,412 --> 00:00:39,706
extremely hard.
19
00:00:39,706 --> 00:00:41,708
When did I become
Lex Luthor?
20
00:00:41,708 --> 00:00:44,669
Someone's quitting
isn't capitulation.
21
00:00:45,754 --> 00:00:46,963
So I shouldn't worry
22
00:00:46,963 --> 00:00:48,631
about seeking real love.
23
00:00:48,631 --> 00:00:50,717
I'm saying the way to get it
is to be a winner.
24
00:00:50,717 --> 00:00:52,218
Thank you...
25
00:00:52,218 --> 00:00:54,054
for not keeping me safe.
26
00:00:54,054 --> 00:00:57,057
The destiny is in me.
27
00:00:58,433 --> 00:00:59,976
I put him back together
28
00:00:59,976 --> 00:01:02,729
after you kicked the pieces
across the floor.
29
00:01:02,729 --> 00:01:04,397
I'm Mike Prince.
30
00:01:04,397 --> 00:01:06,399
Mike is trending
on every platform.
31
00:01:06,399 --> 00:01:08,234
It's done.
32
00:01:08,234 --> 00:01:09,819
I saw.
33
00:01:09,819 --> 00:01:12,655
Someday, and that day
will definitely come,
34
00:01:12,655 --> 00:01:15,992
I will call upon you
to repay this debt.
35
00:01:46,648 --> 00:01:48,233
This is totally amazing.
36
00:01:49,442 --> 00:01:51,903
That's how I do. I aim to amaze.
37
00:01:51,903 --> 00:01:54,280
You've done it. I thought it was
only a theoretical model.
38
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,616
It was, back when you were
a Stanford Cardinal.
39
00:01:56,616 --> 00:01:58,368
It's viable now.
40
00:01:58,368 --> 00:02:00,286
What compressive strength
have you managed to achieve?
41
00:02:00,286 --> 00:02:04,082
As you know, the standard crap
ranges from 3,000 to 5,000 psi.
42
00:02:04,082 --> 00:02:05,792
My little baby
gets close to 6,000.
43
00:02:05,792 --> 00:02:07,877
- Damn.
- Plus, when the cracks form,
44
00:02:07,877 --> 00:02:09,963
the bacteria creates
a self-healing effect.
45
00:02:09,963 --> 00:02:12,549
It's an organic, high-tech mimic
of the lime clasts
46
00:02:12,549 --> 00:02:15,385
and volcanic ash
from Ancient Roman concrete
47
00:02:15,385 --> 00:02:17,595
that's had those buildings
standing for thousands of years.
48
00:02:17,595 --> 00:02:18,972
- Beautiful.
- Yeah.
49
00:02:18,972 --> 00:02:20,557
It's almost ready
to go to market
50
00:02:20,557 --> 00:02:22,475
and present
to the Cement Masons unions.
51
00:02:22,475 --> 00:02:24,644
That's why I moved the lab
here a little while back.
52
00:02:24,644 --> 00:02:26,396
Before you do,
53
00:02:26,396 --> 00:02:28,148
you gotta let me walk you
in to my guy.
54
00:02:55,592 --> 00:02:58,261
Okay, so you are gonna want
55
00:02:58,261 --> 00:03:01,264
to practice your starts,
your stops, your signals,
56
00:03:01,264 --> 00:03:04,017
and your merges
before your next road test
57
00:03:04,017 --> 00:03:05,852
so you don't have to do
this whole Phi Slama Jama
58
00:03:05,852 --> 00:03:07,270
a third time.
59
00:03:07,270 --> 00:03:09,814
So I definitely failed?
60
00:03:09,814 --> 00:03:11,691
Flatter than a pancake.
61
00:03:13,067 --> 00:03:14,694
And when you're ready
to give it another go,
62
00:03:14,694 --> 00:03:17,530
you just head to the website
and book another test.
63
00:03:17,530 --> 00:03:20,950
Well, since-- since we
know he'll pass the next one,
64
00:03:20,950 --> 00:03:24,454
how's about we save everyone
the trouble.
65
00:03:24,454 --> 00:03:26,122
He was so close this time.
66
00:03:26,122 --> 00:03:30,168
There must be a way
to shave a point or add one?
67
00:03:30,168 --> 00:03:32,879
Close? No.
Not a word I'd use.
68
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:34,672
The bus was close, though.
69
00:03:34,672 --> 00:03:36,382
Which bus?
70
00:03:36,382 --> 00:03:38,760
The bus that your young charge
almost sideswiped,
71
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,512
like Rick Mahorn did Wilkins
that time.
72
00:03:42,722 --> 00:03:44,891
Phi Slama Jama.
Rick Mahorn.
73
00:03:44,891 --> 00:03:46,935
You're a sports fan.
74
00:03:46,935 --> 00:03:50,063
And unlike the boy, sir,
you are a quick study.
75
00:03:50,063 --> 00:03:52,440
That I am.
76
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:53,900
What's your name, sir?
77
00:03:53,900 --> 00:03:56,611
Quinn. Ern Quinn. Mr. Quinn.
78
00:03:56,611 --> 00:03:59,030
Well, Ern,
I think the thing to do
79
00:03:59,030 --> 00:04:01,991
is for you to get some tickets
to see a game,
80
00:04:01,991 --> 00:04:03,493
which is expensive, I know.
81
00:04:03,493 --> 00:04:05,161
So, what I'm thinking is,
82
00:04:05,161 --> 00:04:06,579
we make that happen...
83
00:04:09,749 --> 00:04:12,752
and then you make
the driver's license happen.
84
00:04:17,465 --> 00:04:19,842
This is ridiculous.
85
00:04:21,261 --> 00:04:23,137
I was social friends
with Robert Moses!
86
00:04:24,889 --> 00:04:27,267
Don't say your daddy's name.
87
00:04:27,267 --> 00:04:28,601
I'll tell them
to call Mom.
88
00:04:28,601 --> 00:04:30,687
No. She'll flay me.
89
00:04:30,687 --> 00:04:32,397
I should have made one of them
come with me.
90
00:04:32,397 --> 00:04:34,274
These DMVs--
91
00:04:34,274 --> 00:04:37,652
Stands for Dumb Motherfucking
Varmints, by the way!--
92
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,614
just want to charge
a higher price.
93
00:04:44,325 --> 00:04:47,787
I got this.
94
00:04:53,543 --> 00:04:55,086
To build.
95
00:04:55,086 --> 00:04:57,046
That's man's impulse.
96
00:04:57,046 --> 00:04:59,007
Well, mine, anyway.
97
00:04:59,007 --> 00:05:02,218
But the best-made structures,
how long do they last?
98
00:05:02,218 --> 00:05:05,054
Not long enough that future
civilizations won't use
99
00:05:05,054 --> 00:05:07,515
the rubble of ours
as a mere foundation.
100
00:05:07,515 --> 00:05:08,891
Until now.
101
00:05:08,891 --> 00:05:11,853
Bio-inspired
vascular concrete.
102
00:05:11,853 --> 00:05:14,772
It recognizes the weaknesses
within the concrete system
103
00:05:14,772 --> 00:05:18,484
and is able to enzymatically
repair itself.
104
00:05:18,484 --> 00:05:20,069
This will revolutionize
105
00:05:20,069 --> 00:05:21,571
the country's crumbling infrastructure.
106
00:05:21,571 --> 00:05:23,323
This material
rebuilds the past,
107
00:05:23,323 --> 00:05:25,992
fortifies the present,
secures the future.
108
00:05:25,992 --> 00:05:27,618
This is magnificent.
109
00:05:27,618 --> 00:05:29,162
It really is.
110
00:05:29,162 --> 00:05:31,497
This is a game changer.
111
00:05:33,041 --> 00:05:34,751
But the path
from innovation to market
112
00:05:34,751 --> 00:05:36,336
is fraught with danger.
113
00:05:36,336 --> 00:05:38,087
It's Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots
out there.
114
00:05:38,087 --> 00:05:40,465
This can't be one of those
that doesn't make it.
115
00:05:40,465 --> 00:05:42,008
Uh...
116
00:05:42,008 --> 00:05:44,969
What danger, exactly?
117
00:05:44,969 --> 00:05:49,015
Deep-pocketed competitors, copycats,
118
00:05:49,015 --> 00:05:50,725
foreign governments
willing to steal it.
119
00:05:50,725 --> 00:05:52,352
As you know,
all those things and more
120
00:05:52,352 --> 00:05:54,562
can destroy
a young company.
121
00:05:54,562 --> 00:05:57,523
But I can protect it.
And you.
122
00:06:09,243 --> 00:06:12,747
You see, man's impulse
is also to buy.
123
00:06:12,747 --> 00:06:15,792
I want to get behind this
in a big way.
124
00:06:15,792 --> 00:06:18,044
I can take care of knocking out
the competitors,
125
00:06:18,044 --> 00:06:20,922
as well as all
the execution stuff,
126
00:06:20,922 --> 00:06:22,340
the blocking and tackling
127
00:06:22,340 --> 00:06:23,841
you don't need
to get bogged down with.
128
00:06:23,841 --> 00:06:26,469
This is something
that will help the world,
129
00:06:26,469 --> 00:06:28,221
and we'll all get rich doing it.
130
00:06:28,221 --> 00:06:31,891
I'm having in-house counsel join
131
00:06:31,891 --> 00:06:34,685
so we can move quickly
and aggressively.
132
00:06:34,685 --> 00:06:38,147
I'm prepared to purchase
your entire company
133
00:06:38,147 --> 00:06:39,649
and back a more robust timetable,
134
00:06:39,649 --> 00:06:41,901
rolling this out
in the next 14 months.
135
00:06:41,901 --> 00:06:45,113
No, no, I'm not
handing you the reins.
136
00:06:47,198 --> 00:06:49,742
This is my life's work.
137
00:06:49,742 --> 00:06:51,702
Which you'll lose no matter what
138
00:06:51,702 --> 00:06:53,454
now that you've stuck
your head out.
139
00:06:54,789 --> 00:06:56,541
But we can prevent that.
140
00:06:56,541 --> 00:06:57,917
We will prevent it.
141
00:06:57,917 --> 00:06:59,210
This way, your vision
is protected
142
00:06:59,210 --> 00:07:00,753
and you get paid fairly.
143
00:07:00,753 --> 00:07:02,630
You don't buy me out.
144
00:07:02,630 --> 00:07:05,174
I made my bones when you were
going out with cheerleaders.
145
00:07:05,174 --> 00:07:07,718
So, a Moe Greene no.
146
00:07:09,220 --> 00:07:11,597
What ended up happening
to old Moe after that?
147
00:07:18,896 --> 00:07:20,606
Thank you all
for your time.
148
00:07:20,606 --> 00:07:22,316
And the fucking scones.
149
00:07:25,194 --> 00:07:26,487
I'm not selling.
150
00:07:42,253 --> 00:07:45,423
Look, he put his whole
professional life into this.
151
00:07:45,423 --> 00:07:47,925
I just think he didn't see
the blitzkrieg coming.
152
00:07:47,925 --> 00:07:49,635
I didn't either.
153
00:07:49,635 --> 00:07:52,263
Maybe you can go
and talk to him.
154
00:07:52,263 --> 00:07:54,265
I can. I'll try.
155
00:07:54,265 --> 00:07:56,225
But he is stubborn.
156
00:07:56,225 --> 00:07:57,894
I mean, real stubborn.
157
00:07:57,894 --> 00:07:59,687
Yeah, okay, you do that.
158
00:07:59,687 --> 00:08:02,273
Talk some reason into him.
This is the way he wins.
159
00:08:02,273 --> 00:08:04,025
Because if I can't have
his company this way,
160
00:08:04,025 --> 00:08:05,276
I want his tech.
161
00:08:05,276 --> 00:08:06,652
And I'll get it.
162
00:08:07,987 --> 00:08:10,198
Legally. Aboveboard.
163
00:08:10,198 --> 00:08:12,825
Fins up, you know
what I'm saying, Kate?
164
00:08:17,371 --> 00:08:19,415
We'll make a dang fortune,
and this is the kind of idea
165
00:08:19,415 --> 00:08:22,251
custom-made to campaign on.
166
00:08:22,251 --> 00:08:25,796
A new foundation
for America.
167
00:08:25,796 --> 00:08:27,673
I'm on it.
168
00:08:44,398 --> 00:08:46,025
Hello, son.
169
00:08:46,025 --> 00:08:48,861
Dad, I'm fine.
170
00:08:48,861 --> 00:08:51,030
Kev, that's code
for "not fine."
171
00:08:51,030 --> 00:08:53,824
I fucked up
and said your name.
172
00:08:53,824 --> 00:08:55,535
To whom?
173
00:08:55,535 --> 00:08:58,746
I found the one sorry
son of a bitch at the DMV
174
00:08:58,746 --> 00:09:02,458
that doesn't know the difference
between a gratuity and a bribe.
175
00:09:03,417 --> 00:09:04,877
Don't say another word,
176
00:09:04,877 --> 00:09:06,379
either of you.
177
00:09:10,174 --> 00:09:11,676
I'm planning
on telling Mike
178
00:09:11,676 --> 00:09:13,094
he should punt
on the performance reviews.
179
00:09:13,094 --> 00:09:14,929
Oh, you're planning.
180
00:09:16,055 --> 00:09:17,682
Well, I mean,
if you want to,
181
00:09:17,682 --> 00:09:19,225
I'll of course
step back and--
182
00:09:19,225 --> 00:09:20,810
I thought that's why
you said it that way,
183
00:09:20,810 --> 00:09:22,061
so I would do it for you.
184
00:09:22,061 --> 00:09:23,688
For Mike. For the firm.
185
00:09:23,688 --> 00:09:26,440
It's not something
that can be punted.
186
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,735
After those truth-telling
sessions, folks are queasy.
187
00:09:29,735 --> 00:09:31,612
I think the staff knows
that Mike would never use
188
00:09:31,612 --> 00:09:34,282
performance reviews
as a way to exact vengeance
189
00:09:34,282 --> 00:09:36,701
on people who merely spoke
the truth about what they felt.
190
00:09:36,701 --> 00:09:38,619
Yeah, well, the mere fact
191
00:09:38,619 --> 00:09:40,955
that you just referred
to them as "staff"
192
00:09:40,955 --> 00:09:43,040
says a lot about how
they'll feel being judged.
193
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,584
Well, I guess your finger
is just lodged
194
00:09:44,584 --> 00:09:45,876
right on the carotid of--
195
00:09:45,876 --> 00:09:47,503
No guesswork.
196
00:09:47,503 --> 00:09:49,505
That's all anybody talked
about at movie night.
197
00:09:49,505 --> 00:09:51,757
Movie night? Is that
a colloquialism for something?
198
00:09:51,757 --> 00:09:53,259
Popcorn. Big screen.
199
00:09:53,259 --> 00:09:55,011
I'm surprised
you decided to skip.
200
00:09:56,053 --> 00:09:57,597
Oh, shit.
201
00:09:57,597 --> 00:09:59,432
Didn't know
this was a thing.
202
00:09:59,432 --> 00:10:01,225
Wasn't invited.
203
00:10:01,225 --> 00:10:02,935
I should have
double-checked their list.
204
00:10:02,935 --> 00:10:04,895
- I just assumed they'd--
- What'd you watch?
205
00:10:04,895 --> 00:10:06,439
Double feature.
206
00:10:06,439 --> 00:10:07,773
Glengarry and Wolf of Wall Street.
207
00:10:07,773 --> 00:10:09,358
Of course.
208
00:10:09,358 --> 00:10:11,235
Do they even know what Wolf
is really saying?
209
00:10:11,235 --> 00:10:12,445
Victor does.
210
00:10:12,445 --> 00:10:15,364
Sacker, obv. Rian.
211
00:10:15,364 --> 00:10:17,283
The rest,
they think they should know
212
00:10:17,283 --> 00:10:19,243
how to sell a pen better.
213
00:10:19,243 --> 00:10:21,120
- You'll come next time.
- Oh, no.
214
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,456
You're the man of the people.
I'll remain where I belong.
215
00:10:23,456 --> 00:10:25,583
Slightly above the staff.
216
00:10:25,583 --> 00:10:27,251
Your words, not mine.
217
00:10:32,548 --> 00:10:34,258
Scooter just texted me.
218
00:10:34,258 --> 00:10:35,968
I understand the concern
about the performance reviews.
219
00:10:35,968 --> 00:10:37,803
- When the fuck did you--?
- You don't get here
220
00:10:37,803 --> 00:10:39,472
without being able
to multitask.
221
00:10:39,472 --> 00:10:41,432
Like how you can do
a double shot of Michter's
222
00:10:41,432 --> 00:10:44,143
while re-enacting your favorite
Nikki Dial-Rocco Siffredi scene.
223
00:10:44,143 --> 00:10:45,645
Who are those people?
224
00:10:45,645 --> 00:10:46,979
Better you don't know.
225
00:10:46,979 --> 00:10:48,522
Okay.
226
00:10:48,522 --> 00:10:50,900
I'll recuse myself
from the review process.
227
00:10:50,900 --> 00:10:52,902
I was planning
on doing it anyway.
228
00:10:52,902 --> 00:10:55,655
I can't be seen as rewarding or
punishing anyone on the team...
229
00:10:55,655 --> 00:10:57,448
Team. Not staff.
There you go.
230
00:10:57,448 --> 00:10:59,492
...just because they said
bad or good things about me.
231
00:10:59,492 --> 00:11:01,118
Still, we have to do it.
232
00:11:01,118 --> 00:11:03,162
Can't go forward
without a thorough look back
233
00:11:03,162 --> 00:11:07,166
and a real evaluation of trading
tendencies, habits, all of it.
234
00:11:07,166 --> 00:11:09,168
How does that work
without you in the middle of it?
235
00:11:09,168 --> 00:11:10,836
You two will run the thing.
236
00:11:10,836 --> 00:11:12,755
I'm glad to leave it
in your able hands.
237
00:11:21,555 --> 00:11:23,516
I need in there. Thank you.
238
00:11:26,394 --> 00:11:28,354
Dad. Kevin. What?
239
00:11:28,354 --> 00:11:31,065
It's just
a bureaucratic squabble.
240
00:11:31,065 --> 00:11:33,734
This aged man's attempt
at bribing me
241
00:11:33,734 --> 00:11:37,822
failed as badly as this young
man failed his driving test.
242
00:11:37,822 --> 00:11:39,990
- He called the cops.
- You called the cops?
243
00:11:39,990 --> 00:11:41,367
I called the cops.
244
00:11:41,367 --> 00:11:43,703
If money changed hands,
245
00:11:43,703 --> 00:11:45,871
we're going to have
to arrest and charge.
246
00:11:47,373 --> 00:11:49,125
Don't make me
ask the question.
247
00:11:50,918 --> 00:11:52,211
What question is that?
248
00:11:52,211 --> 00:11:54,130
Please.
249
00:11:55,131 --> 00:11:57,133
Yes, I know who you are.
250
00:11:57,133 --> 00:11:58,801
But it's a tight spot here.
251
00:11:58,801 --> 00:12:01,429
Can we have a moment
with my father?
252
00:12:10,271 --> 00:12:12,481
Charles, why are you
even here,
253
00:12:12,481 --> 00:12:14,316
and what did you think
you were doing?
254
00:12:14,316 --> 00:12:15,818
Making sure it went well.
255
00:12:15,818 --> 00:12:18,571
That peon had it in for Kevin
256
00:12:18,571 --> 00:12:19,864
the moment he saw the Jag.
257
00:12:19,864 --> 00:12:21,240
It intimidated him.
258
00:12:23,284 --> 00:12:25,578
And like I said,
he didn't know the difference
259
00:12:25,578 --> 00:12:27,163
between a bribe and a tip.
260
00:12:27,163 --> 00:12:28,581
I heard that.
261
00:12:29,623 --> 00:12:31,417
You're going to jail.
262
00:12:31,417 --> 00:12:33,586
And Rhoades, Kevin,
will be prohibited
263
00:12:33,586 --> 00:12:36,255
from holding a license to drive
in New York state.
264
00:12:36,255 --> 00:12:38,090
Jesus!
265
00:12:41,844 --> 00:12:44,138
I am aware
that attempted bribery--
266
00:12:44,138 --> 00:12:46,724
if that is in fact what can be
proved to have happened here
267
00:12:46,724 --> 00:12:48,434
is a serious offense.
268
00:12:48,434 --> 00:12:50,770
I can guarantee his appearance
at arraignment,
269
00:12:50,770 --> 00:12:52,480
but if you will do me
the courtesy
270
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,440
of releasing him
and referring this
271
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,275
to the DA's office
for investigation,
272
00:12:56,275 --> 00:12:57,860
it would be appreciated.
273
00:12:57,860 --> 00:13:01,280
I'd have to check
with my superiors.
274
00:13:02,907 --> 00:13:05,117
Well, check with the commish.
275
00:13:05,117 --> 00:13:08,454
I have Raul Gomez
in my favorites.
276
00:13:08,454 --> 00:13:09,872
Thank you.
277
00:13:11,582 --> 00:13:14,376
The Department of Motor Vehicles
is not a playground
278
00:13:14,376 --> 00:13:16,045
for the well-connected
to do as they will.
279
00:13:16,045 --> 00:13:17,296
Ha!
280
00:13:17,296 --> 00:13:20,132
That is a clerk's mentality...
281
00:13:22,510 --> 00:13:26,472
and a clerk you will always
fucking be.
282
00:13:26,472 --> 00:13:28,390
Dad! Not helping.
283
00:13:28,390 --> 00:13:29,975
Uh...
284
00:13:29,975 --> 00:13:31,477
You know,
the sad fact is
285
00:13:31,477 --> 00:13:33,896
that some senility
awaits us all
286
00:13:33,896 --> 00:13:35,815
in the golden years.
287
00:13:35,815 --> 00:13:37,650
Oh, bullshit.
288
00:13:37,650 --> 00:13:40,069
Oh, are you saying he's...?
289
00:13:41,987 --> 00:13:44,615
There are over
100 types of dementia.
290
00:13:48,202 --> 00:13:52,122
So, it can be tough to pinpoint
which we're talking about,
291
00:13:52,122 --> 00:13:53,958
but I think it's clear
that something...
292
00:13:53,958 --> 00:13:55,960
My last med workup
says I'm sharp
293
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:57,920
as a goddamn titanium tack.
294
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,339
Can you say the same?
295
00:14:02,550 --> 00:14:04,260
The commissioner
is granting your request.
296
00:14:04,260 --> 00:14:05,511
You're free to go.
297
00:14:05,511 --> 00:14:06,762
But he is indeed
referring it
298
00:14:06,762 --> 00:14:08,013
to the DA's office.
299
00:14:08,013 --> 00:14:09,265
Great. Swell. Perfect.
300
00:14:09,265 --> 00:14:10,558
Wouldn't have it
any other way.
301
00:14:10,558 --> 00:14:11,851
Thank you, officer.
302
00:14:11,851 --> 00:14:13,435
And thank you, sir,
303
00:14:13,435 --> 00:14:16,146
for your fealty
to the auto safety corridor.
304
00:14:16,146 --> 00:14:19,483
I note the sarcasm,
for the record.
305
00:14:23,571 --> 00:14:27,032
Bowing and scraping
like that?
306
00:14:27,032 --> 00:14:29,451
I thought you had juice!
307
00:14:29,451 --> 00:14:31,787
Can we just get out of here, please?
308
00:14:38,085 --> 00:14:41,130
Well, this should be more fun
than movie night.
309
00:14:41,130 --> 00:14:42,840
No one thought
you would want to come.
310
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:44,049
And right they were.
311
00:14:44,049 --> 00:14:45,593
Okay, on the screens
312
00:14:45,593 --> 00:14:47,094
in front of each of us
are dossiers
313
00:14:47,094 --> 00:14:48,846
covering the P&Ls, activities,
314
00:14:48,846 --> 00:14:52,057
results and tendencies
of each person who works at MPC.
315
00:14:52,057 --> 00:14:54,727
We will conduct interviews
and do the feedback sessions
316
00:14:54,727 --> 00:14:56,729
after we--
317
00:14:56,729 --> 00:14:58,272
We aren't at
the feedback stage yet.
318
00:14:58,272 --> 00:14:59,940
- You'll be called in.
- Yeah, no, we won't.
319
00:14:59,940 --> 00:15:03,402
My man speaketh the truth.
320
00:15:03,402 --> 00:15:05,946
I'm not sure why I just used
that biblical version of speak,
321
00:15:05,946 --> 00:15:07,698
but I did, so...
322
00:15:07,698 --> 00:15:10,618
Because what we are saying
is as monumental
323
00:15:10,618 --> 00:15:13,037
as that language implies.
324
00:15:13,037 --> 00:15:14,747
Yes. Yeah.
We were elected to tell you
325
00:15:14,747 --> 00:15:17,416
that we all reject
the framework of this panel
326
00:15:17,416 --> 00:15:18,792
judging us and our work.
327
00:15:18,792 --> 00:15:20,878
The employees can't reject--
328
00:15:20,878 --> 00:15:22,254
- Team members.
- Absolutely.
329
00:15:22,254 --> 00:15:23,923
The team members
can't reject the idea
330
00:15:23,923 --> 00:15:25,424
that their performance
is being evaluated.
331
00:15:25,424 --> 00:15:27,676
Well, we are rejecting you,
all of you,
332
00:15:27,676 --> 00:15:29,261
as the ones evaluating.
333
00:15:29,261 --> 00:15:31,847
You don't get to pick
how management decides.
334
00:15:31,847 --> 00:15:35,225
Management does.
That's how business works.
335
00:15:35,225 --> 00:15:37,394
Upon a time it did.
Not now.
336
00:15:37,394 --> 00:15:38,604
It's true, Wags.
337
00:15:38,604 --> 00:15:40,522
We are in an un-brave new world.
338
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,110
I mean, no offense, Scooter,
339
00:15:45,110 --> 00:15:47,363
but you're not in touch
with the rank and file.
340
00:15:47,363 --> 00:15:48,948
You don't even come
to movie night.
341
00:15:48,948 --> 00:15:50,741
- I wasn't inv--
- 'Cause we knew you wouldn't
342
00:15:50,741 --> 00:15:53,661
want to and didn't want
to put you in the position.
343
00:15:53,661 --> 00:15:57,039
As I said.
344
00:15:57,039 --> 00:15:59,500
Look, the only one with
the right to decide our fate
345
00:15:59,500 --> 00:16:01,460
is the actual decider.
346
00:16:01,460 --> 00:16:04,088
But you all said that once you
gave your evaluation of Prince,
347
00:16:04,088 --> 00:16:07,049
you weren't comfortable
with him conducting this review.
348
00:16:07,049 --> 00:16:09,885
That is right and true.
349
00:16:09,885 --> 00:16:11,804
Yeah, well, he decided
to change everything,
350
00:16:11,804 --> 00:16:14,807
so we all reject
the whole of it.
351
00:16:16,558 --> 00:16:18,310
You roll it all
for a least a year.
352
00:16:18,310 --> 00:16:20,354
No performance reviews
until then.
353
00:16:20,354 --> 00:16:22,898
Or you can do it without
any performers to review.
354
00:16:22,898 --> 00:16:25,275
You do know that comp
is directly tied
355
00:16:25,275 --> 00:16:26,819
to performance review?
356
00:16:26,819 --> 00:16:28,737
Not this year,
it isn't.
357
00:16:37,496 --> 00:16:39,164
Well, fuck.
358
00:16:40,124 --> 00:16:41,500
Indeed.
359
00:16:45,546 --> 00:16:48,424
Well, you really brought out
the all-star team
360
00:16:48,424 --> 00:16:52,428
for this vital matter of state
security involving my father.
361
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,682
As have you, Chuck,
362
00:16:56,682 --> 00:17:01,687
with the great and powerful
Freddie Eisen in your corner.
363
00:17:03,063 --> 00:17:05,816
He always brings a gun
to a knife fight.
364
00:17:05,816 --> 00:17:08,360
Yeah, it's just like
the government to lard it on.
365
00:17:08,360 --> 00:17:10,821
You're always looking for
a chance to squander resources.
366
00:17:12,281 --> 00:17:14,199
Uh, no offense, Chuck.
367
00:17:14,199 --> 00:17:15,492
Yeah, sure, Eisen.
368
00:17:15,492 --> 00:17:17,870
Look, I think we all know
369
00:17:17,870 --> 00:17:19,121
the bright light
of attention
370
00:17:19,121 --> 00:17:21,206
is on this matter
because of me.
371
00:17:21,206 --> 00:17:23,125
You're trying
to bleed me here.
372
00:17:23,125 --> 00:17:26,170
Bleed you? For what?
373
00:17:26,170 --> 00:17:28,756
A notch in your hatchet.
Uh, making a quota.
374
00:17:28,756 --> 00:17:31,425
Some time in the limelight.
Who knows?
375
00:17:31,425 --> 00:17:35,471
Rubbish. We have kept
the press out of it so far,
376
00:17:35,471 --> 00:17:37,222
and that's proof
that you're off base.
377
00:17:37,222 --> 00:17:39,641
But this is
a chargeable offense.
378
00:17:39,641 --> 00:17:41,185
Ah. This is where I come in.
379
00:17:41,185 --> 00:17:43,729
- Mm.
- Uh, rubbish.
380
00:17:43,729 --> 00:17:46,148
You're gonna have an impossible
time proving anything
381
00:17:46,148 --> 00:17:48,859
beyond giving
an unlawful gratuity,
382
00:17:48,859 --> 00:17:50,235
which is a class "A"
misdemeanor.
383
00:17:50,235 --> 00:17:53,072
So, no jail time,
384
00:17:53,072 --> 00:17:55,157
a fine,
385
00:17:55,157 --> 00:17:58,869
and a course... maybe.
386
00:17:58,869 --> 00:18:02,581
There is no driving course
on how not to be an asshole.
387
00:18:04,958 --> 00:18:08,378
But in this case,
maybe we invent one.
388
00:18:11,381 --> 00:18:12,800
Okay.
389
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,052
But we expect
the maximum on the fine,
390
00:18:15,052 --> 00:18:19,139
and even that may not placate
the DMV folks.
391
00:18:20,766 --> 00:18:21,975
Agreed.
392
00:18:21,975 --> 00:18:24,019
You got a good deal here.
393
00:18:24,019 --> 00:18:25,938
A real sweetheart.
394
00:18:28,107 --> 00:18:29,775
Better than you deserve.
395
00:18:30,984 --> 00:18:32,444
If my client will take it.
396
00:18:34,071 --> 00:18:35,405
I'll let you know.
397
00:18:42,204 --> 00:18:44,123
Well, if the bank
wants to call that loan,
398
00:18:44,123 --> 00:18:45,916
you tell them you'll move
the corpus of the trust
399
00:18:45,916 --> 00:18:47,709
to another institution.
400
00:18:47,709 --> 00:18:50,379
Dad, don't conduct your
so-called business from here.
401
00:18:50,379 --> 00:18:51,922
We have to resolve
this situation--
402
00:18:51,922 --> 00:18:53,465
Some birds are chirping
in the background.
403
00:18:53,465 --> 00:18:54,716
I can't hear a thing.
404
00:18:54,716 --> 00:18:57,010
Get back to me with good news.
405
00:18:59,930 --> 00:19:03,809
There is nothing to resolve with
the DMV as far as I'm concerned.
406
00:19:05,060 --> 00:19:07,187
Well, as counsel,
I have to disagree.
407
00:19:07,187 --> 00:19:09,982
At least present you
with the deal we were able to--
408
00:19:09,982 --> 00:19:12,693
Well, no matter how good a deal
you think you struck
409
00:19:12,693 --> 00:19:14,570
with your colleagues,
410
00:19:14,570 --> 00:19:16,530
I won't sign it.
411
00:19:17,739 --> 00:19:19,324
They should apologize to me.
412
00:19:19,324 --> 00:19:21,535
And Kevin.
413
00:19:21,535 --> 00:19:23,829
Thank you for your efforts, Freddie.
414
00:19:28,250 --> 00:19:31,003
You picked the wrong guy
to try to charm, Pop.
415
00:19:31,003 --> 00:19:32,504
So now you have to--
416
00:19:32,504 --> 00:19:36,008
That examiner
was a power-mad little man
417
00:19:36,008 --> 00:19:38,510
who should have passed Kevin
on principle alone.
418
00:19:41,471 --> 00:19:42,723
Uh...
419
00:19:42,723 --> 00:19:45,100
what principle is that?
420
00:19:45,100 --> 00:19:47,853
That the Rhoades family
has contributed more
421
00:19:47,853 --> 00:19:49,688
to this city and state than--
422
00:19:49,688 --> 00:19:51,857
Tell that to the bus driver.
423
00:19:51,857 --> 00:19:53,108
No, no.
424
00:19:53,108 --> 00:19:54,526
You see, close call or not,
425
00:19:54,526 --> 00:19:57,112
Kevin avoided that bus.
426
00:19:57,112 --> 00:19:58,655
- Ah.
- And that's all that matters.
427
00:19:58,655 --> 00:20:00,365
That's real life.
428
00:20:00,365 --> 00:20:02,951
Near collisions. Near disaster.
429
00:20:02,951 --> 00:20:04,620
That's when the mettle shows.
430
00:20:04,620 --> 00:20:06,663
Our boy has it.
431
00:20:06,663 --> 00:20:08,540
Shows he's got the skills.
432
00:20:10,042 --> 00:20:13,045
That still doesn't speak
to the attempted bribe.
433
00:20:14,087 --> 00:20:18,884
Boyo, if I take the fall
for unlawful gratuity,
434
00:20:18,884 --> 00:20:22,888
that DMV apparatchik
should go down for accepting it.
435
00:20:24,556 --> 00:20:26,391
He didn't accept it.
436
00:20:26,391 --> 00:20:29,061
He allowed you to complete
the criminal act to bust you.
437
00:20:29,061 --> 00:20:30,854
Don't be such an asshole.
438
00:20:30,854 --> 00:20:33,357
Ah.
439
00:20:33,357 --> 00:20:34,900
If you saw the look
on Kevin's face
440
00:20:34,900 --> 00:20:37,110
when he heard
that he had failed...
441
00:20:39,154 --> 00:20:40,530
you'd have done the same.
442
00:20:41,949 --> 00:20:43,408
That's called love.
443
00:20:47,329 --> 00:20:49,331
Yeah, but I didn't see it...
444
00:20:51,667 --> 00:20:53,001
because I wasn't there.
445
00:20:56,380 --> 00:20:59,174
That is true.
446
00:20:59,174 --> 00:21:01,927
He asked you to take him.
447
00:21:02,970 --> 00:21:04,179
Not Wendy or me.
448
00:21:07,474 --> 00:21:10,352
I had been so overtaken
with the idea
449
00:21:10,352 --> 00:21:12,437
that you insinuated yourself
450
00:21:12,437 --> 00:21:14,940
into the situation
with the examiner,
451
00:21:14,940 --> 00:21:16,358
I hadn't stopped to think--
452
00:21:16,358 --> 00:21:19,319
Well, it's high time you did.
453
00:21:20,988 --> 00:21:22,948
He reached out
to a paternal figure
454
00:21:22,948 --> 00:21:25,117
who was not, in fact...
455
00:21:27,077 --> 00:21:28,453
his father.
456
00:21:30,163 --> 00:21:33,041
Maybe he knew I'd risk
life and liberty on his behalf.
457
00:21:34,501 --> 00:21:36,962
Maybe he counted on that.
458
00:21:36,962 --> 00:21:41,550
Maybe he knew
I was the only one.
459
00:21:47,306 --> 00:21:49,224
Who's the asshole now?
460
00:21:54,563 --> 00:21:58,358
Who's the asshole...
461
00:21:58,358 --> 00:22:00,277
now?
462
00:22:21,340 --> 00:22:23,342
What the hell
did you do to me?
463
00:22:24,551 --> 00:22:25,969
To you, or for you?
464
00:22:25,969 --> 00:22:28,013
I went over his proposal,
and there's a ton
465
00:22:28,013 --> 00:22:29,806
of upside there.
And what he was saying
466
00:22:29,806 --> 00:22:31,516
about the pitfalls facing
a young company--
467
00:22:31,516 --> 00:22:33,852
You don't think I know
about the pitfalls?
468
00:22:33,852 --> 00:22:35,687
I told you and your
lab mates about them
469
00:22:35,687 --> 00:22:38,523
chapter and goddamn verse
back in the day, if you recall.
470
00:22:39,566 --> 00:22:41,818
This is different.
471
00:22:41,818 --> 00:22:45,238
This is a robber baron making
a move on a proprietary process.
472
00:22:45,238 --> 00:22:47,532
I'm telling you, Mike Prince
is one of the good guys.
473
00:22:47,532 --> 00:22:49,910
- Oh, jeez!
- Does he have sharp elbows?
474
00:22:49,910 --> 00:22:51,411
Of course he does.
He has to.
475
00:22:51,411 --> 00:22:53,413
And you want him to.
It's what you need.
476
00:22:53,413 --> 00:22:57,626
But he's got the company's
best interests at heart.
477
00:22:57,626 --> 00:22:59,753
Is that why
he's started an attack?
478
00:23:01,213 --> 00:23:04,966
Your "good guy" Prince
479
00:23:04,966 --> 00:23:08,178
has begun buying up
rival patents.
480
00:23:08,178 --> 00:23:12,057
Even ones vaguely related
to what my process does.
481
00:23:12,057 --> 00:23:14,893
Which gives him standing
to sue me for infringement.
482
00:23:14,893 --> 00:23:17,020
Which will block my work
due to injunction,
483
00:23:17,020 --> 00:23:19,398
potentially for years.
484
00:23:19,398 --> 00:23:22,234
It's called patent sharking.
485
00:23:22,234 --> 00:23:25,404
And it's not
what good guys do.
486
00:23:28,782 --> 00:23:30,742
"Fins up." Fuck!
487
00:23:31,785 --> 00:23:33,745
Yeah-- Shit, look,
488
00:23:33,745 --> 00:23:37,666
it may not be exactly what you
wanted, but similar terms,
489
00:23:37,666 --> 00:23:39,918
some compromises
were always gonna be a reality.
490
00:23:41,128 --> 00:23:42,963
Selling to Prince
without a fight
491
00:23:42,963 --> 00:23:44,464
is the best move now.
492
00:23:44,464 --> 00:23:45,924
If you do,
Prince will relent
493
00:23:45,924 --> 00:23:47,592
and the company
will be spared all this.
494
00:23:47,592 --> 00:23:49,052
You hope.
495
00:23:50,762 --> 00:23:52,556
You will be credited
for creating
496
00:23:52,556 --> 00:23:54,558
this self-healing concrete.
497
00:23:54,558 --> 00:23:56,560
The Nobel Prize doesn't go
to the hedge fund dude
498
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,770
who financed the thing.
499
00:23:58,770 --> 00:24:00,939
Let me lay out a look
at a slightly different future:
500
00:24:02,149 --> 00:24:03,483
yours.
501
00:24:06,027 --> 00:24:07,779
You, Philip...
502
00:24:09,781 --> 00:24:11,825
have been slowly,
or not so slowly,
503
00:24:11,825 --> 00:24:13,827
selling your soul.
504
00:24:13,827 --> 00:24:17,289
And soon,
there'll be none left.
505
00:24:17,289 --> 00:24:20,292
You'll never be happy
at Michael Prince Capital,
506
00:24:20,292 --> 00:24:22,127
because the longer you stay,
507
00:24:22,127 --> 00:24:24,296
the more you'll learn
about Michael Prince...
508
00:24:25,589 --> 00:24:27,466
and the more
you'll hate yourself.
509
00:24:33,180 --> 00:24:36,224
I've been
a scientist-businessman
510
00:24:36,224 --> 00:24:38,935
and a businessman-scientist.
511
00:24:38,935 --> 00:24:42,063
And when one serves
the other, it can work.
512
00:24:43,607 --> 00:24:47,319
The other way
is just a slow death
513
00:24:47,319 --> 00:24:49,321
of everything
you ever hoped to be.
514
00:24:49,321 --> 00:24:50,864
Marc, come on,
you still have a chance
515
00:24:50,864 --> 00:24:52,324
to win big on this
right now.
516
00:24:52,324 --> 00:24:54,951
You just got to show
some flexibility.
517
00:24:56,828 --> 00:25:00,207
It's a wonder I ever achieved
tenure without your counsel.
518
00:25:33,365 --> 00:25:35,367
In Will Guidara's book
Unreasonable Hospitality,
519
00:25:35,367 --> 00:25:37,118
he tells a story about how,
520
00:25:37,118 --> 00:25:39,788
when someone misses
a few meetings or is late,
521
00:25:39,788 --> 00:25:41,790
the instinct is
to get right in their face
522
00:25:41,790 --> 00:25:44,376
and give them
massive guff about it.
523
00:25:44,376 --> 00:25:46,336
Instead, Will says
the thing to do
524
00:25:46,336 --> 00:25:48,463
is check in
about their welfare first.
525
00:25:48,463 --> 00:25:50,382
I'm hunky-dory. Peachy keen.
526
00:25:50,382 --> 00:25:51,883
Look, I had stuff
to take care of.
527
00:25:51,883 --> 00:25:53,176
Business stuff, and--
528
00:25:53,176 --> 00:25:55,345
No. Or, yes, but...
529
00:25:55,345 --> 00:25:57,806
whatever's getting in your head,
distracting you from your work,
530
00:25:57,806 --> 00:25:59,391
because you did miss
two meetings,
531
00:25:59,391 --> 00:26:01,226
in which I covered,
of course, but--
532
00:26:01,226 --> 00:26:03,353
No, really, it's a business
thing I was seeing to.
533
00:26:03,353 --> 00:26:04,896
The Ruloff thing.
534
00:26:06,398 --> 00:26:08,275
You need to talk to Wendy.
535
00:26:08,275 --> 00:26:10,694
Your breathing, your cadence,
the pitch of your voice
536
00:26:10,694 --> 00:26:12,070
tell me there's plenty
of emotion
537
00:26:12,070 --> 00:26:13,738
mixed in there
with the business.
538
00:26:13,738 --> 00:26:17,033
I've been there with
an innovator I cared about,
539
00:26:17,033 --> 00:26:19,160
thinking there was a balance
to be struck.
540
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:20,620
And was there?
541
00:26:20,620 --> 00:26:22,205
No.
542
00:26:22,205 --> 00:26:23,957
I should have focused
only on the business.
543
00:26:23,957 --> 00:26:25,834
Because the corrosive,
controlling part
544
00:26:25,834 --> 00:26:29,004
was already in the inventor,
as it is with your Dr. Ruloff.
545
00:26:29,004 --> 00:26:31,089
That's why he doesn't want
to partner, he wants it all.
546
00:26:31,089 --> 00:26:33,091
I think you got him wrong.
547
00:26:33,091 --> 00:26:35,260
Wendy'll help you
figure that out.
548
00:26:52,193 --> 00:26:53,445
I fucked up.
549
00:26:53,445 --> 00:26:55,280
Huge mistake.
550
00:26:56,906 --> 00:26:59,200
How much is it gonna cost
Prince, the firm?
551
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:00,577
No.
552
00:27:00,577 --> 00:27:02,370
The opposite, I think.
553
00:27:02,370 --> 00:27:06,207
But despite that,
if something isn't done,
554
00:27:06,207 --> 00:27:08,501
if I don't do something to
change what's about to happen,
555
00:27:08,501 --> 00:27:10,378
I don't know how the hell
I'm gonna be able
556
00:27:10,378 --> 00:27:11,963
to live with myself.
557
00:27:13,298 --> 00:27:15,675
Well, then
you'd better have a seat.
558
00:27:15,675 --> 00:27:17,135
Start at the beginning.
559
00:27:29,856 --> 00:27:32,859
I've likely extricated you
from legal trouble.
560
00:27:32,859 --> 00:27:35,487
Your friend down at the DMV's
gonna get promoted.
561
00:27:35,487 --> 00:27:38,156
And his boss has a kid
562
00:27:38,156 --> 00:27:40,075
who's gonna get
an internship at Justice.
563
00:27:40,075 --> 00:27:44,329
So they'll quietly accept
the misdemeanor.
564
00:27:45,538 --> 00:27:49,084
But what we have to discuss now
565
00:27:49,084 --> 00:27:53,171
is the line of succession
around here.
566
00:27:53,171 --> 00:27:56,508
I just want it to remain clear
that I am a viable alternative
567
00:27:56,508 --> 00:28:00,345
if the two of you are unable
to fulfill your parental duties.
568
00:28:00,345 --> 00:28:02,430
That's all very
well and good, Charles,
569
00:28:02,430 --> 00:28:03,848
but Kevin,
570
00:28:03,848 --> 00:28:05,266
you need to know--
571
00:28:05,266 --> 00:28:08,728
Your mother and I
are your first calls
572
00:28:08,728 --> 00:28:10,188
and your last.
573
00:28:10,188 --> 00:28:12,023
But I did.
574
00:28:15,568 --> 00:28:18,029
"Mom, my driving test
is Monday morning.
575
00:28:18,029 --> 00:28:19,948
Can you take me?"
576
00:28:19,948 --> 00:28:23,535
"I have a meeting that morning.
Have you asked your father?"
577
00:28:25,620 --> 00:28:27,414
"Dad, Monday morning, DMV?"
578
00:28:27,414 --> 00:28:30,959
Uh-huh.
"Is it possible to reschedule?"
579
00:28:30,959 --> 00:28:33,044
It wasn't possible.
580
00:28:34,754 --> 00:28:37,632
Kev, if you'd answered "no,"
I'd have found the time.
581
00:28:37,632 --> 00:28:39,008
As would I have,
if I'd known
582
00:28:39,008 --> 00:28:41,386
your father responded
he couldn't.
583
00:28:41,386 --> 00:28:44,139
This is about you communicating
your needs more directly.
584
00:28:44,139 --> 00:28:46,725
I did. I called Grandpa.
585
00:28:46,725 --> 00:28:50,145
And I stepped forward,
once more into the breech.
586
00:28:50,145 --> 00:28:53,648
I believe Kevin has
what the kids call receipts.
587
00:28:56,776 --> 00:28:59,195
None of us behaved
perfectly here.
588
00:29:00,155 --> 00:29:01,656
Ah, shit, Kev,
589
00:29:01,656 --> 00:29:04,033
the immediate answer
should have been yes.
590
00:29:04,033 --> 00:29:05,660
I know that.
591
00:29:05,660 --> 00:29:07,537
I get caught up.
592
00:29:07,537 --> 00:29:09,247
We both do.
593
00:29:10,248 --> 00:29:12,083
This is...
594
00:29:13,626 --> 00:29:15,044
I'm just glad
this is the extent
595
00:29:15,044 --> 00:29:16,337
of the price we're paying,
596
00:29:16,337 --> 00:29:17,714
and that it was your grandfather
597
00:29:17,714 --> 00:29:20,216
and not you
with the bribery.
598
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:26,639
I will go say good night
to my granddaughter.
599
00:29:28,141 --> 00:29:29,851
And for the record,
600
00:29:29,851 --> 00:29:33,271
Kevin drove the hell
out of that Jag under my watch.
601
00:29:33,271 --> 00:29:34,773
Hmm.
602
00:29:34,773 --> 00:29:39,444
My boy, there was a time
when a Benjamin Franklin
603
00:29:39,444 --> 00:29:41,571
was the key to the city.
604
00:29:41,571 --> 00:29:46,075
My mistake was not accounting
for inflation.
605
00:29:50,538 --> 00:29:52,582
Oh, God.
606
00:29:52,582 --> 00:29:54,584
Just when I thought
maybe we weren't too bad
607
00:29:54,584 --> 00:29:56,044
at this parenting thing.
608
00:29:56,044 --> 00:30:00,256
Yeah. Evidence to the contrary.
609
00:30:00,256 --> 00:30:03,301
You and I need to communicate
every day about them.
610
00:30:03,301 --> 00:30:05,053
That's where we fucked up.
611
00:30:05,053 --> 00:30:06,888
Because if we'd been talking
directly, one of us...
612
00:30:06,888 --> 00:30:08,473
- No doubt. No doubt.
- ...would have--
613
00:30:11,100 --> 00:30:12,977
As far as working together better...
614
00:30:14,437 --> 00:30:15,814
I pledge to do my part.
615
00:30:17,482 --> 00:30:19,150
As do I.
616
00:30:26,324 --> 00:30:28,660
I had a strange convo
at work today.
617
00:30:33,081 --> 00:30:36,125
I have to imagine
that's, uh, the norm there.
618
00:30:36,125 --> 00:30:37,961
Kind of your job.
619
00:30:37,961 --> 00:30:39,921
Yeah, but this...
620
00:30:41,548 --> 00:30:43,716
I'll share,
since it wasn't a formal,
621
00:30:43,716 --> 00:30:45,385
privileged conversation.
622
00:30:45,385 --> 00:30:48,221
I sat him on the couch
instead of the chairs.
623
00:30:48,221 --> 00:30:49,764
Uh-huh.
624
00:30:51,391 --> 00:30:52,892
One of the heads of the firm.
625
00:30:52,892 --> 00:30:55,186
Young guy named Philip Charyn.
626
00:30:55,186 --> 00:30:58,439
There's a real
bare-knuckle business thing
627
00:30:58,439 --> 00:31:00,024
that an outside figure,
young Philip,
628
00:31:00,024 --> 00:31:02,235
finds himself
on the opposite side of Prince.
629
00:31:03,319 --> 00:31:04,821
Emotionally, though.
630
00:31:04,821 --> 00:31:06,364
That's not a position
he can take publicly
631
00:31:06,364 --> 00:31:07,574
within the firm.
632
00:31:09,868 --> 00:31:11,286
Sounds Byzantine.
633
00:31:13,705 --> 00:31:15,540
It seemed to me
that he was asking me
634
00:31:15,540 --> 00:31:18,543
to bring you in
on the situation,
635
00:31:18,543 --> 00:31:20,545
to pursue the issue
on his behalf.
636
00:31:20,545 --> 00:31:22,338
Huh.
637
00:31:22,338 --> 00:31:25,383
And what did you indicate back?
638
00:31:25,383 --> 00:31:28,845
Oh, I talked to him
about the blood-brain barrier.
639
00:31:28,845 --> 00:31:32,223
How it keeps bacteria,
viruses, fungus,
640
00:31:32,223 --> 00:31:34,893
parasites in the bloodstream
out of the brain.
641
00:31:34,893 --> 00:31:37,937
Parallel health achieved
by no cross-contamination.
642
00:31:37,937 --> 00:31:40,690
Well, sounds about right.
643
00:31:40,690 --> 00:31:43,651
And, uh, we should
keep it that way.
644
00:31:45,570 --> 00:31:49,949
For the health of the family
and, uh, our individual sanity.
645
00:31:50,950 --> 00:31:53,244
That's exactly what I said.
646
00:31:56,247 --> 00:31:58,333
Wow.
647
00:31:58,333 --> 00:31:59,918
In this arena,
648
00:31:59,918 --> 00:32:02,629
communication has never
been an issue.
649
00:32:02,629 --> 00:32:05,173
We each know exactly
what the other means,
650
00:32:05,173 --> 00:32:07,216
no matter what the other says.
651
00:32:08,635 --> 00:32:10,803
It's somehow reassuring...
652
00:32:12,138 --> 00:32:14,098
and horrifying
at the same time.
653
00:32:14,098 --> 00:32:15,600
Quite so.
654
00:32:26,986 --> 00:32:28,279
Do I need to call a lawyer?
655
00:32:29,322 --> 00:32:30,657
You sent for me.
656
00:32:32,075 --> 00:32:33,910
You didn't tape an X
to a telephone pole,
657
00:32:33,910 --> 00:32:36,037
but you asked for a meet
just the same.
658
00:32:36,996 --> 00:32:38,289
I don't want to talk to you.
659
00:32:38,289 --> 00:32:40,625
Of course you don't.
660
00:32:43,836 --> 00:32:45,171
Your mouth is dry.
661
00:32:45,171 --> 00:32:46,798
You look like you put in
some hard miles.
662
00:32:46,798 --> 00:32:48,591
You need to hydrate.
663
00:32:53,221 --> 00:32:56,307
Marc Ruloff is a good man,
a great man.
664
00:32:56,307 --> 00:32:57,850
And I put him
in Mike Prince's crosshairs.
665
00:32:57,850 --> 00:32:59,560
That's on me.
666
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,854
What if you could
unwind it?
667
00:33:01,854 --> 00:33:04,315
Find a way to save Ruloff's
company from Prince?
668
00:33:05,733 --> 00:33:07,986
Well, I can't. I've tried.
669
00:33:07,986 --> 00:33:09,696
Maybe I can.
670
00:33:12,448 --> 00:33:14,826
Can you give me
an illegality I can pursue?
671
00:33:14,826 --> 00:33:16,411
That's why we're here.
672
00:33:16,411 --> 00:33:19,163
There aren't any.
That's the problem.
673
00:33:24,377 --> 00:33:26,004
What about you?
674
00:33:26,004 --> 00:33:27,672
You're the guy that likes
a big idea,
675
00:33:27,672 --> 00:33:29,674
that likes the grand gesture, right?
676
00:33:29,674 --> 00:33:31,676
Mm-hmm.
677
00:33:31,676 --> 00:33:33,845
So put a stop
to patent sharking.
678
00:33:33,845 --> 00:33:36,431
And these sharks
troll published patents
679
00:33:36,431 --> 00:33:38,141
and buy everything
that could credibly allege
680
00:33:38,141 --> 00:33:40,018
the invention
infringes on it.
681
00:33:40,018 --> 00:33:42,520
So they can sue.
682
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,480
Did you know there is
a plasma substitute
683
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,316
that could save soldiers' lives
wounded in theater?
684
00:33:47,316 --> 00:33:48,568
But the inventor
can't roll it out
685
00:33:48,568 --> 00:33:50,361
because she's surrounded
by sharks.
686
00:33:52,572 --> 00:33:55,241
That is a great injustice,
687
00:33:55,241 --> 00:33:58,036
but I can't change it.
688
00:34:00,288 --> 00:34:03,541
Nor can I change the fundamental
nature of the enterprise
689
00:34:03,541 --> 00:34:05,501
that is Michael Prince.
690
00:34:05,501 --> 00:34:07,128
Because your Dr. Ruloff,
691
00:34:07,128 --> 00:34:09,297
great man that you say he is,
692
00:34:09,297 --> 00:34:13,342
is actually just a harbor seal.
693
00:34:16,387 --> 00:34:18,514
And sharks will shark.
694
00:34:18,514 --> 00:34:21,559
Harbor seals
will harbor seal.
695
00:34:23,686 --> 00:34:26,439
That is the way of the ocean.
696
00:34:32,236 --> 00:34:35,490
Gather around,
you malingerers.
697
00:34:35,490 --> 00:34:37,366
First, we heard you.
698
00:34:37,366 --> 00:34:39,827
After this year,
with all the changes and drama,
699
00:34:39,827 --> 00:34:43,081
we will not proceed with
the planned performance review.
700
00:34:43,081 --> 00:34:45,875
It is more important that
instead of judging each other,
701
00:34:45,875 --> 00:34:47,752
we come together. So...
702
00:34:47,752 --> 00:34:49,670
we are going to have
the inaugural
703
00:34:49,670 --> 00:34:53,925
Michael Prince Capital
Casino Night at Gotham Hall.
704
00:34:53,925 --> 00:34:56,052
Everyone will be there.
705
00:34:58,679 --> 00:35:00,723
Because you have to be...
706
00:35:02,683 --> 00:35:04,602
and because
you fucking want to be.
707
00:35:04,602 --> 00:35:06,646
This group will
come together as a--
708
00:35:06,646 --> 00:35:08,189
Don't say "family."
709
00:35:08,189 --> 00:35:10,024
That whole
"work unit as family" thing
710
00:35:10,024 --> 00:35:12,068
really stamps you
as a Boomer.
711
00:35:12,068 --> 00:35:13,236
- Gen X.
- We're not Boomers.
712
00:35:13,236 --> 00:35:14,695
Not even close.
713
00:35:14,695 --> 00:35:15,988
We read Doug Coupland
in hardback.
714
00:35:15,988 --> 00:35:17,573
You did.
I'm much younger.
715
00:35:17,573 --> 00:35:20,201
The point is,
we will come together as a--
716
00:35:20,201 --> 00:35:22,829
Goddamned family,
or die trying.
717
00:35:22,829 --> 00:35:24,956
Wags, Scooter. Need you.
718
00:35:38,010 --> 00:35:39,929
Kate has an angle
on the Ruloff thing.
719
00:35:39,929 --> 00:35:41,264
I wanted you to hear it.
720
00:35:41,264 --> 00:35:42,640
We just set it in motion
an hour ago.
721
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,475
Enzy-Novo, biotech firm.
722
00:35:44,475 --> 00:35:47,895
They create the bacterial enzyme
that Ruloff's process uses.
723
00:35:47,895 --> 00:35:50,815
And that, the enzyme,
it's proprietary, I imagine.
724
00:35:50,815 --> 00:35:53,484
As patented as Carla Fracci's
Giselle.
725
00:35:56,529 --> 00:35:59,031
As Jordan's turnaround fadeaway.
726
00:35:59,031 --> 00:36:00,491
- Ah.
- Yes, of course. Yeah.
727
00:36:00,491 --> 00:36:01,951
By buying
into this company
728
00:36:01,951 --> 00:36:03,661
and the underlying patent,
729
00:36:03,661 --> 00:36:05,538
Ruloff will be neutralized.
730
00:36:05,538 --> 00:36:08,374
Without Enzy-Novo, Ruloff is
just making everyday cement.
731
00:36:08,374 --> 00:36:11,085
It'll take him years to replace
or create his own bacteria.
732
00:36:11,085 --> 00:36:13,588
Mm, I'd love to see
Ruloff's face when he finds out
733
00:36:13,588 --> 00:36:16,048
he can't have the starter
for his concrete sourdough.
734
00:36:16,048 --> 00:36:17,800
So, that second,
when he's gut-punched,
735
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,970
is when we go back to him
with our last and best offer?
736
00:36:20,970 --> 00:36:22,680
He'll sell whether
he wants to or not.
737
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,515
He'll have to, because he'll
have no other choice.
738
00:36:24,515 --> 00:36:25,892
He'll end up grateful, Mike,
739
00:36:25,892 --> 00:36:27,351
when he sees what you do
with his idea.
740
00:36:27,351 --> 00:36:28,603
How you blow it out.
741
00:36:28,603 --> 00:36:29,979
And, knowing you,
742
00:36:29,979 --> 00:36:31,439
you'll be sure
to credit him, too.
743
00:36:31,439 --> 00:36:32,773
You know I will.
744
00:36:32,773 --> 00:36:34,150
But all those hugs
will have to wait
745
00:36:34,150 --> 00:36:35,318
for the other side
of the war.
746
00:36:40,907 --> 00:36:43,367
I have to sign off.
Who can become the host?
747
00:36:46,829 --> 00:36:48,539
Uh, he's in a meeting.
748
00:36:48,539 --> 00:36:50,708
I'll tell you and your
lawyer at the same time.
749
00:36:50,708 --> 00:36:53,544
Your attempted purchase
of Enzy-Novo has hit a snag,
750
00:36:53,544 --> 00:36:56,547
and that snag is named
this guy right here.
751
00:36:56,547 --> 00:36:59,508
I wouldn't dignify this,
I were you, Mike.
752
00:36:59,508 --> 00:37:01,886
I didn't hear some rumor
needs confirming.
753
00:37:03,721 --> 00:37:06,515
I'm in an exclusive negotiation
period with them,
754
00:37:06,515 --> 00:37:08,768
so they had to tell me as soon
as your offer floated in.
755
00:37:08,768 --> 00:37:10,353
Well, when your period ends,
756
00:37:10,353 --> 00:37:12,271
I'll be there
with a wheelbarrow full of cash.
757
00:37:12,271 --> 00:37:14,482
You won't outbid me.
I need it more.
758
00:37:14,482 --> 00:37:15,816
That's not something you admit
to a guy
759
00:37:15,816 --> 00:37:17,485
with unlimited resources.
760
00:37:17,485 --> 00:37:19,528
That's why you should do
the magnifying glass/slide stuff
761
00:37:19,528 --> 00:37:21,906
and leave the transactions
and wire transfers to me.
762
00:37:21,906 --> 00:37:24,325
I'll focus on the science
of kicking your ass.
763
00:37:24,325 --> 00:37:26,244
You want to get
into a buying war with me?
764
00:37:26,244 --> 00:37:28,120
You're firing a pea shooter
at a tank.
765
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:30,623
Maybe I have
a tank of my own.
766
00:37:30,623 --> 00:37:34,210
You can go around
buying adjacent stuff.
767
00:37:34,210 --> 00:37:35,753
Meanwhile,
I'll publish my work.
768
00:37:35,753 --> 00:37:38,923
Acclaim, prizes,
media attention will follow.
769
00:37:38,923 --> 00:37:44,053
I'll be the man credited with
rebuilding the world, not you.
770
00:37:52,436 --> 00:37:53,938
Philip...
771
00:37:57,149 --> 00:37:59,193
if this guy has
a vulnerability, a weakness,
772
00:37:59,193 --> 00:38:02,280
a quirk of character
that we can use against him,
773
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:03,864
now would be
the time to share it.
774
00:38:04,991 --> 00:38:06,534
I'd love to help,
775
00:38:06,534 --> 00:38:08,244
but I've got nothing
to help with.
776
00:38:08,244 --> 00:38:09,912
I was an admiring student.
777
00:38:09,912 --> 00:38:12,331
I've never seen that contentious
side of him before.
778
00:38:12,331 --> 00:38:14,500
I've known him as nice. Conscientious.
779
00:38:14,500 --> 00:38:17,295
I don't know how to get inside
his head and turn him around.
780
00:38:23,509 --> 00:38:26,095
He's a process guy.
781
00:38:26,095 --> 00:38:29,515
He had a 1966 emerald-green
Karmann Ghia 1300.
782
00:38:29,515 --> 00:38:30,933
He loved that car.
783
00:38:30,933 --> 00:38:32,935
Talked about
how the Karmann Ghia 1300
784
00:38:32,935 --> 00:38:35,187
was made for the road.
785
00:38:35,187 --> 00:38:36,981
They weren't durable cars,
786
00:38:36,981 --> 00:38:39,692
so sometimes
you'd see them in garages.
787
00:38:39,692 --> 00:38:41,193
That really bothers him,
788
00:38:41,193 --> 00:38:43,070
the thought that it might
happen to his.
789
00:38:43,070 --> 00:38:45,114
So he bought an entirely
different Karmann Ghia
790
00:38:45,114 --> 00:38:47,366
and stripped it for parts
to save the green one.
791
00:38:47,366 --> 00:38:48,993
Had someone
in the engineering school
792
00:38:48,993 --> 00:38:50,244
match the paint perfectly.
793
00:38:50,244 --> 00:38:52,121
So he's an obsessive.
794
00:38:52,121 --> 00:38:54,582
I'd put it slightly differently.
795
00:38:55,958 --> 00:38:58,085
He's a man
who follows his passion.
796
00:38:58,085 --> 00:39:00,880
Who builds something
and then takes care of it.
797
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:02,631
That's where
this is coming from.
798
00:39:02,631 --> 00:39:04,800
I mean, he used to take that car
out to these rallies
799
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,511
with whales from
the Stanford Board of Trustees.
800
00:39:07,511 --> 00:39:08,971
They used to try
and buy it off him,
801
00:39:08,971 --> 00:39:10,723
but he wouldn't sell.
802
00:39:10,723 --> 00:39:13,893
The smile on his face
when he would drive off in it...
803
00:39:13,893 --> 00:39:16,645
pure joy of someone who loved
something enough
804
00:39:16,645 --> 00:39:19,648
to take care of it in a way
that it served him perfectly.
805
00:39:19,648 --> 00:39:21,150
Good. Good. Yeah.
806
00:39:21,150 --> 00:39:22,902
That's just the story
I needed to hear.
807
00:39:22,902 --> 00:39:25,321
Kate, I'm betting
Ruloff cozied up
808
00:39:25,321 --> 00:39:27,573
to some billie board member
of the university
809
00:39:27,573 --> 00:39:29,283
to back his war against me.
810
00:39:29,283 --> 00:39:30,534
We still need to outbid him.
811
00:39:30,534 --> 00:39:32,078
Well, what if we can't?
812
00:39:32,078 --> 00:39:34,246
Yes, if he did get himself
a bigger tank,
813
00:39:34,246 --> 00:39:35,956
that might be the case.
814
00:39:35,956 --> 00:39:37,917
So we sue for injunctive relief
815
00:39:37,917 --> 00:39:39,543
on behalf of one
of our other patents.
816
00:39:39,543 --> 00:39:41,921
We won't win that,
which you obviously know.
817
00:39:41,921 --> 00:39:43,172
Winning won't matter.
818
00:39:43,172 --> 00:39:45,049
As Philip's story tells us,
819
00:39:45,049 --> 00:39:47,510
Ruloff will sacrifice everything
but the central project,
820
00:39:47,510 --> 00:39:49,095
the central idea.
821
00:39:51,055 --> 00:39:52,431
He'd cannibalize
perfectly good cars
822
00:39:52,431 --> 00:39:54,266
just to keep his on the road.
823
00:39:54,266 --> 00:39:56,894
It was the getting it on the
road that was everything to him.
824
00:39:56,894 --> 00:39:58,479
Still is.
825
00:39:58,479 --> 00:40:00,147
If we can keep him in court,
826
00:40:00,147 --> 00:40:02,149
and his prize Karmann Ghia
in the garage,
827
00:40:02,149 --> 00:40:05,319
it'll drive him crazy enough to
share the Karmann Ghia with us,
828
00:40:05,319 --> 00:40:07,571
as long as it gets it moving.
829
00:40:09,740 --> 00:40:11,242
That tracks.
830
00:40:14,578 --> 00:40:15,913
I know what to do.
831
00:40:35,099 --> 00:40:39,437
A hearty welcome to all of you
gamesters, sports, speculators,
832
00:40:39,437 --> 00:40:41,272
pikers, and punters.
833
00:40:41,272 --> 00:40:43,732
Tonight, we offer you the chance
to test your luck
834
00:40:43,732 --> 00:40:47,069
and skill at roulette,
blackjack, craps,
835
00:40:47,069 --> 00:40:49,780
baccarat and Texas Hold 'Em.
836
00:40:49,780 --> 00:40:53,451
Drinks are free, and everyone
starts with 5,000 in chips,
837
00:40:53,451 --> 00:40:56,245
with unlimited rebuys
at your own expense.
838
00:40:56,245 --> 00:40:57,913
Proceeds go to charity,
of course,
839
00:40:57,913 --> 00:41:00,416
but the chip leader
at the end of the night
840
00:41:00,416 --> 00:41:03,294
wins a special prize.
841
00:41:03,294 --> 00:41:05,963
And what a prize it is.
842
00:41:05,963 --> 00:41:08,966
Private air travel and
all expenses paid to Ireland,
843
00:41:08,966 --> 00:41:10,468
to coincide with the Open.
844
00:41:10,468 --> 00:41:13,888
And VIP rounds
with this year's champion
845
00:41:13,888 --> 00:41:18,642
at Royal County Down, Portrush,
Sligo, and Ballybunion.
846
00:41:18,642 --> 00:41:20,311
Release the hounds!
847
00:41:32,323 --> 00:41:34,158
Odd numbers only.
848
00:41:34,158 --> 00:41:37,161
7, 17, 23, 24.
849
00:41:37,161 --> 00:41:39,038
Let's go.
850
00:41:39,038 --> 00:41:40,831
I know where you're going
851
00:41:40,831 --> 00:41:42,958
I don't think
That's acting right
852
00:41:42,958 --> 00:41:46,337
You don't think
It's showing
853
00:42:03,062 --> 00:42:04,647
Split 'em.
854
00:42:11,403 --> 00:42:13,030
Split.
855
00:42:13,030 --> 00:42:16,617
Falling down
Don't misunderstand me
856
00:42:16,617 --> 00:42:19,161
You don't think
I know your plan?
857
00:42:19,161 --> 00:42:21,080
Again?
858
00:42:43,269 --> 00:42:44,562
Gonna raise.
859
00:42:52,236 --> 00:42:53,904
Point is 9.
860
00:42:53,904 --> 00:42:56,156
I'm backing up mine.
861
00:42:57,324 --> 00:42:59,577
And give me
all the hard ways.
862
00:42:59,577 --> 00:43:01,620
Backing up mine.
863
00:43:01,620 --> 00:43:04,206
You're wrong-way betting me.
864
00:43:04,206 --> 00:43:06,417
Your future
is in your hand.
865
00:43:06,417 --> 00:43:08,377
Damn right it is.
866
00:43:10,671 --> 00:43:11,880
Rebuy.
867
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:13,215
Already?
868
00:43:13,215 --> 00:43:15,759
Don't worry.
I have a system.
869
00:43:19,805 --> 00:43:21,348
Do you take Venmo?
870
00:43:23,225 --> 00:43:24,685
There we go!
871
00:43:27,563 --> 00:43:29,523
All right,
let's bet some columns.
872
00:43:36,822 --> 00:43:39,241
- Seven.
- Oh!
873
00:43:39,241 --> 00:43:42,244
Ah-ha. Mama's got
a brand-new bag.
874
00:43:42,244 --> 00:43:43,412
Fuck!
875
00:43:43,412 --> 00:43:45,039
You gooched me.
876
00:43:45,039 --> 00:43:46,749
Well, sometimes
that's what mamas have to do
877
00:43:46,749 --> 00:43:48,417
to get the brand-new bag.
878
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:52,296
That is the sound
of success.
879
00:43:52,296 --> 00:43:54,882
Tonight's a hit.
A palpable hit.
880
00:43:56,967 --> 00:43:59,511
While you do your thing,
I am going to visit the tables.
881
00:43:59,511 --> 00:44:01,221
- Baccarat?
- I know it's house odds,
882
00:44:01,221 --> 00:44:02,765
but I've been a sucker for it
883
00:44:02,765 --> 00:44:04,850
ever since the original
Casino Royale.
884
00:44:11,231 --> 00:44:13,859
Mm! Grey Goose martini. Shaken.
885
00:44:13,859 --> 00:44:16,612
Or stirred.
I don't really give a shit.
886
00:44:16,612 --> 00:44:19,531
Ah, yes, chemin de fer.
887
00:44:19,531 --> 00:44:22,701
Or as you vulgarians
like to call it, baccarat.
888
00:44:22,701 --> 00:44:25,120
I usually play with tiles,
but this will have to do.
889
00:44:27,456 --> 00:44:29,333
Mm!
890
00:44:29,333 --> 00:44:31,085
Banco!
891
00:44:31,085 --> 00:44:33,170
Vanessa.
892
00:44:33,170 --> 00:44:35,172
- What do we got?
- Oh, we've got it all.
893
00:44:41,178 --> 00:44:42,930
So, most of these folks,
894
00:44:42,930 --> 00:44:45,683
the abstraction of having
chips instead of cards,
895
00:44:45,683 --> 00:44:48,435
it's throwing their sense
of value off instantly.
896
00:44:48,435 --> 00:44:50,020
Break it down for me.
897
00:44:50,020 --> 00:44:52,272
Okay.
898
00:44:52,272 --> 00:44:55,609
This guy Victor, he's over there
rolling it up at roulette.
899
00:44:55,609 --> 00:44:57,861
Aggressive, but smart.
900
00:44:58,946 --> 00:45:00,739
On the other hand,
901
00:45:00,739 --> 00:45:02,950
Tuk Lal's already made his
third visit to the rebuy cage.
902
00:45:02,950 --> 00:45:05,828
He seems to think he has some
sort of system at blackjack.
903
00:45:05,828 --> 00:45:07,204
I don't know.
904
00:45:08,288 --> 00:45:09,665
His buddy Ben Kim over there...
905
00:45:11,250 --> 00:45:13,085
he's squeezing
his original 5K in chips
906
00:45:13,085 --> 00:45:15,212
hard enough to turn them
into diamonds.
907
00:45:15,212 --> 00:45:17,506
But scared money's
not gonna win tonight.
908
00:45:18,757 --> 00:45:20,259
Taylor Mason,
909
00:45:20,259 --> 00:45:23,262
clearly a high-level
thinking poker player,
910
00:45:23,262 --> 00:45:26,515
is crushing everybody
at Texas Hold 'Em.
911
00:45:26,515 --> 00:45:28,976
And over here, the one
they're calling Dollar Bill,
912
00:45:28,976 --> 00:45:31,729
he's a total nihilist
at the craps table.
913
00:45:33,105 --> 00:45:35,607
Keep going. Deep dive.
914
00:45:38,569 --> 00:45:42,698
Tell me how their behavior here
transfers to the workplace.
915
00:45:42,698 --> 00:45:45,367
So, Ruloff,
916
00:45:45,367 --> 00:45:46,910
far from letting himself
be sharked,
917
00:45:46,910 --> 00:45:49,413
got a killer whale
to protect him,
918
00:45:49,413 --> 00:45:50,748
but it ain't working.
919
00:45:50,748 --> 00:45:52,249
Or it was working so well
920
00:45:52,249 --> 00:45:53,834
that Prince had to come at him
another way
921
00:45:53,834 --> 00:45:55,377
to strike the fatal blow.
922
00:45:55,377 --> 00:45:57,087
Uh-huh. What was the move?
923
00:45:57,087 --> 00:45:59,465
Filed suit to block
Ruloff's purchase of Enzy-Novo.
924
00:45:59,465 --> 00:46:02,176
In California. It's gonna end up
in the 9th Circuit.
925
00:46:02,176 --> 00:46:03,802
Where it'll be years
before it's settled out.
926
00:46:03,802 --> 00:46:05,262
These two are gonna be like
927
00:46:05,262 --> 00:46:07,264
the Lazarus A and Lazarus B
on Trek.
928
00:46:07,264 --> 00:46:08,724
Fighting into eternity.
929
00:46:08,724 --> 00:46:11,059
I don't like it.
930
00:46:11,059 --> 00:46:13,645
Neither one of these guys
should be spending their time
931
00:46:13,645 --> 00:46:16,523
trying to win at all costs.
932
00:46:16,523 --> 00:46:18,901
If this thing is as good for
the world as it promises to be,
933
00:46:18,901 --> 00:46:21,153
they should only be focused
on bringing it out.
934
00:46:21,153 --> 00:46:22,863
And worry about the money,
935
00:46:22,863 --> 00:46:25,657
of which there will be plenty, later.
936
00:46:25,657 --> 00:46:27,201
I mean, think about it.
937
00:46:27,201 --> 00:46:29,036
Louis Pasteur's
first order of business
938
00:46:29,036 --> 00:46:30,454
was doing the good thing,
939
00:46:30,454 --> 00:46:32,206
not cashing in
on his breakthroughs
940
00:46:32,206 --> 00:46:34,917
like these two brigands.
941
00:46:34,917 --> 00:46:38,504
No single person should control
something like this.
942
00:46:39,505 --> 00:46:40,964
There's got to be a way
943
00:46:40,964 --> 00:46:42,633
to take them both
out of the equation.
944
00:46:43,926 --> 00:46:46,053
Unless the whole thing
is a setup.
945
00:46:47,846 --> 00:46:50,641
Wendy comes to you,
you go to the kid,
946
00:46:50,641 --> 00:46:52,601
he gets you
to swallow the poison,
947
00:46:52,601 --> 00:46:53,936
thinking it's just wine.
948
00:46:53,936 --> 00:46:55,938
Oh, Wendy and I aren't
out there
949
00:46:55,938 --> 00:46:59,149
in that particular bad place,
in that particular way.
950
00:46:59,149 --> 00:47:02,152
And, I mean, if we are,
give me the poison now.
951
00:47:02,152 --> 00:47:03,445
Get it over with.
952
00:47:03,445 --> 00:47:04,696
Or just be careful.
953
00:47:04,696 --> 00:47:06,073
How come he didn't make a move
954
00:47:06,073 --> 00:47:07,324
to stop things on his own?
955
00:47:07,324 --> 00:47:08,784
His move was reaching me.
956
00:47:08,784 --> 00:47:10,619
What else could he do
on the inside?
957
00:47:10,619 --> 00:47:12,955
Well, just play it out.
958
00:47:12,955 --> 00:47:15,123
Don't drink whatever goblet's
put in front of you.
959
00:47:15,123 --> 00:47:17,334
And then it doesn't matter
what's inside it.
960
00:47:17,334 --> 00:47:19,044
Fine. Yes.
961
00:47:19,044 --> 00:47:21,004
We proceed without allowing
any kind of opening,
962
00:47:21,004 --> 00:47:22,256
as we always do.
963
00:47:22,256 --> 00:47:24,550
But proceed we must.
964
00:47:24,550 --> 00:47:26,301
How do we get it done?
965
00:47:27,553 --> 00:47:29,221
The only word
that comes to mind:
966
00:47:30,764 --> 00:47:32,474
Spielbergian.
967
00:47:35,310 --> 00:47:36,728
Is that a word?
968
00:47:36,728 --> 00:47:38,230
It ought to be.
969
00:47:43,193 --> 00:47:45,362
I just got a nasty text
from Marc Ruloff.
970
00:47:45,362 --> 00:47:46,780
That's 'cause it's over.
971
00:47:46,780 --> 00:47:48,031
You blocked him
and beat him?
972
00:47:48,031 --> 00:47:49,283
Nope.
973
00:47:49,283 --> 00:47:51,285
But it's over all the same.
974
00:47:51,285 --> 00:47:53,745
The Department of Defense
did a march-in.
975
00:47:55,664 --> 00:47:57,791
The entire project
was declared classified
976
00:47:57,791 --> 00:47:59,042
by the federal government.
977
00:48:01,086 --> 00:48:02,754
Your patent,
everything in this office,
978
00:48:02,754 --> 00:48:04,423
and everything
associated with this work
979
00:48:04,423 --> 00:48:06,216
will now be controlled
by the federal government.
980
00:48:06,216 --> 00:48:08,760
You have rights,
and there is a process
981
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,680
which will now be overseen
by the Department of Defense.
982
00:48:13,181 --> 00:48:15,017
You dropped the dime
to the government?
983
00:48:15,017 --> 00:48:17,227
Could he have
tipped them off himself?
984
00:48:17,227 --> 00:48:18,812
Killed it instead
of letting you have it?
985
00:48:18,812 --> 00:48:21,189
Don't think so.
Doesn't matter now.
986
00:48:21,189 --> 00:48:23,066
The government
will sit on this discovery
987
00:48:23,066 --> 00:48:25,694
like the Ark of the Covenant
in that endless warehouse.
988
00:48:25,694 --> 00:48:27,237
Why won't they get it
into the market?
989
00:48:27,237 --> 00:48:28,947
Well, first of all,
they're inept.
990
00:48:28,947 --> 00:48:30,741
Then, you know,
think of the special interests.
991
00:48:30,741 --> 00:48:32,117
The unions.
The conflicts.
992
00:48:32,117 --> 00:48:34,494
Yeah. They'll use
potential unknown
993
00:48:34,494 --> 00:48:36,163
health or structural liabilities
994
00:48:36,163 --> 00:48:37,873
to get the government
to keep testing it.
995
00:48:37,873 --> 00:48:39,625
Yeah, so, no.
It's not coming to market.
996
00:48:39,625 --> 00:48:40,876
Not now.
997
00:48:40,876 --> 00:48:42,461
So no one gets the benefit.
998
00:48:44,004 --> 00:48:45,464
It's like everyone
just literally said,
999
00:48:45,464 --> 00:48:47,507
"Fine,
kill the damned infant."
1000
00:48:47,507 --> 00:48:50,010
Well, the upside is that
when I take the oath of office
1001
00:48:50,010 --> 00:48:53,263
and I do declassify it
and release it,
1002
00:48:53,263 --> 00:48:56,391
it'll start us off very,
very nicely.
1003
00:48:56,391 --> 00:48:59,269
you hold
until right after
1004
00:48:59,269 --> 00:49:01,355
you announce
for a second term.
1005
00:49:01,355 --> 00:49:04,066
Eight years in office
for President Prince locked up.
1006
00:49:04,066 --> 00:49:05,901
Ooh, I like that a lot.
1007
00:49:05,901 --> 00:49:09,112
Hold it, then splash.
1008
00:49:12,908 --> 00:49:15,702
Maybe Ruloff did me a favor
by trying to stop me.
1009
00:49:37,307 --> 00:49:40,227
Let me go over your debt, find
you some corridors out of this.
1010
00:49:40,227 --> 00:49:42,229
I think...
1011
00:49:42,229 --> 00:49:45,023
No. You've done enough.
1012
00:49:46,233 --> 00:49:48,485
More than enough.
1013
00:49:48,485 --> 00:49:51,279
Our engagement ends
when you walk out that door.
1014
00:49:51,279 --> 00:49:54,658
Before I do, I just want you
to know that my intentions--
1015
00:49:54,658 --> 00:49:56,618
I misspoke.
1016
00:49:56,618 --> 00:49:58,495
Our engagement ends now.
1017
00:50:19,224 --> 00:50:21,518
We're here to set the terms
for the performance reviews.
1018
00:50:21,518 --> 00:50:24,187
Should we wait until Philip
is here before we start?
1019
00:50:24,187 --> 00:50:25,689
He's not coming.
1020
00:50:25,689 --> 00:50:27,190
Oh, well,
1021
00:50:27,190 --> 00:50:30,986
there is a new harmonious spirit
on the floor.
1022
00:50:30,986 --> 00:50:32,362
We think there's
a road to compromise
1023
00:50:32,362 --> 00:50:34,156
that you'll find productive.
1024
00:50:34,156 --> 00:50:35,741
It's irrelevant at this point.
We have what we need.
1025
00:50:35,741 --> 00:50:37,367
How's that?
1026
00:50:37,367 --> 00:50:40,203
You all said nothing
but told us everything.
1027
00:50:40,203 --> 00:50:43,040
I've taken Vanessa Selbst's
raw research
1028
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:45,208
and put it into language
that discloses
1029
00:50:45,208 --> 00:50:48,712
what the usual comp process
does, and much more.
1030
00:50:48,712 --> 00:50:51,214
Using prospect theory,
1031
00:50:51,214 --> 00:50:53,258
as based on
Kahneman and Tversky's
1032
00:50:53,258 --> 00:50:55,844
Nobel Prize-winning research
recognizing loss aversion
1033
00:50:55,844 --> 00:50:59,056
that veers directly
into sunk cost fallacy...
1034
00:51:01,308 --> 00:51:03,977
along with many other
related pathologies
1035
00:51:03,977 --> 00:51:05,562
that were revealed
the other night...
1036
00:51:07,773 --> 00:51:09,483
the participation
of the employees
1037
00:51:09,483 --> 00:51:10,817
is no longer required.
1038
00:51:10,817 --> 00:51:12,694
Shit.
1039
00:51:12,694 --> 00:51:16,656
Casino Night wasn't
some team-building exercise.
1040
00:51:16,656 --> 00:51:19,159
It was an observation chamber.
1041
00:51:20,452 --> 00:51:22,412
Yes, we already know
what we need to know
1042
00:51:22,412 --> 00:51:24,247
in order to gauge the employees'
risk assessment,
1043
00:51:24,247 --> 00:51:25,832
strategic approach,
expected outcome,
1044
00:51:25,832 --> 00:51:27,084
performance in general.
1045
00:51:27,084 --> 00:51:28,335
Thanks for your time.
1046
00:51:28,335 --> 00:51:30,045
Son of a bitch.
1047
00:51:30,045 --> 00:51:32,214
What's next,
the Milgram experiment?
1048
00:51:32,214 --> 00:51:35,801
You want to see if we'll
join in shocking each other?
1049
00:51:38,470 --> 00:51:41,473
Oh, who was the winner
of the big prize?
1050
00:51:41,473 --> 00:51:43,141
Peach took it down.
1051
00:51:43,141 --> 00:51:44,601
Fuck me.
1052
00:51:44,601 --> 00:51:46,728
- Wow, wow, wow.
- Does she even golf?
1053
00:51:46,728 --> 00:51:48,897
I hear she's about to flip it
to a PM at another firm
1054
00:51:48,897 --> 00:51:50,565
for 300 grand.
1055
00:51:54,653 --> 00:51:56,279
Shame they're so upset.
1056
00:51:56,279 --> 00:51:58,573
Victor and Rian had
some of the best approaches.
1057
00:51:58,573 --> 00:52:00,408
Unlike the bulk of those losers.
1058
00:52:01,409 --> 00:52:03,286
Including you, Wags.
1059
00:52:03,286 --> 00:52:05,288
You were in on the gag,
and yet you bled off
1060
00:52:05,288 --> 00:52:07,457
$4,900 in chips at baccarat.
1061
00:52:07,457 --> 00:52:09,042
Me?
1062
00:52:09,042 --> 00:52:11,294
I thought I was on the inside,
that I'm exempt.
1063
00:52:12,337 --> 00:52:13,964
Oh, no.
1064
00:52:13,964 --> 00:52:15,757
No one's exempt.
1065
00:52:15,757 --> 00:52:17,884
Goddamn it.
1066
00:52:17,884 --> 00:52:20,137
Scooter, you're definitely
not getting invited
1067
00:52:20,137 --> 00:52:21,638
to mini golf next week.
1068
00:52:22,681 --> 00:52:24,057
None of you are.
1069
00:52:28,478 --> 00:52:30,814
Everything I did
went to shit.
1070
00:52:30,814 --> 00:52:32,649
I tried to run
a performance review,
1071
00:52:32,649 --> 00:52:35,443
and it turned into
a psychological study.
1072
00:52:35,443 --> 00:52:37,404
I tried to help the firm
and ended up with nothing.
1073
00:52:37,404 --> 00:52:40,574
I tried to help my old teacher,
he lost everything.
1074
00:52:42,033 --> 00:52:43,994
I hoped to change the world,
it went nowhere.
1075
00:52:43,994 --> 00:52:46,079
You're giving yourself
a lot of credit
1076
00:52:46,079 --> 00:52:48,331
for how much
you supposedly control.
1077
00:52:53,545 --> 00:52:55,088
No, you're right.
1078
00:52:56,047 --> 00:52:57,382
I should give you some.
1079
00:52:59,843 --> 00:53:01,803
Because when I went to you
and your ex-husband,
1080
00:53:01,803 --> 00:53:04,181
that's when the crap
really started flowing downhill.
1081
00:53:06,516 --> 00:53:09,394
Instead of handing out
the kudos and the blame,
1082
00:53:09,394 --> 00:53:13,356
why don't we talk about
turning this mess into action.
1083
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:16,735
Because I saw you
in his office,
1084
00:53:16,735 --> 00:53:18,361
and I know how you feel.
1085
00:53:18,361 --> 00:53:20,572
Whatever plan you're
considering, leave me out.
1086
00:53:20,572 --> 00:53:22,532
Whatever you, and Taylor,
and I don't know who else
1087
00:53:22,532 --> 00:53:23,867
are thinking about doing...
1088
00:53:27,829 --> 00:53:29,539
I can't.
1089
00:53:29,539 --> 00:53:31,708
Won't. I don't even want to.
1090
00:53:31,708 --> 00:53:34,461
I need, and I will have,
complete deniability.
1091
00:53:34,461 --> 00:53:36,713
As-is, right now, there is
nothing I could tell anyone,
1092
00:53:36,713 --> 00:53:38,506
nothing I should tell anyone.
1093
00:53:38,506 --> 00:53:39,966
I aim to keep it that way.
1094
00:53:42,594 --> 00:53:44,596
Then you do that.
1095
00:54:01,071 --> 00:54:03,114
You have an old friend
at Defense, don't you?
1096
00:54:04,407 --> 00:54:06,076
Did you talk to him lately?
1097
00:54:06,076 --> 00:54:10,997
Maybe ask him to, well,
classify something
1098
00:54:10,997 --> 00:54:13,250
that could really help
the country,
1099
00:54:13,250 --> 00:54:15,377
just to screw over a rival?
1100
00:54:17,671 --> 00:54:21,049
If my actions hurt the man,
that is the way it is.
1101
00:54:22,300 --> 00:54:24,386
I presume he intends
to declassify it,
1102
00:54:24,386 --> 00:54:26,721
if and when
he gets into office.
1103
00:54:26,721 --> 00:54:30,308
But I can keep
the wolf at bay for now.
1104
00:54:31,643 --> 00:54:33,603
See how that works out.
1105
00:54:35,063 --> 00:54:37,107
Right.
1106
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:40,110
A lot of ways
this could have gone
1107
00:54:40,110 --> 00:54:42,696
once you connected me
with that fella Philip Charyn.
1108
00:54:42,696 --> 00:54:45,448
But then you knew that.
1109
00:54:48,326 --> 00:54:50,620
Yep. I suppose I did.
1110
00:54:58,003 --> 00:54:59,921
Well, some things
turn out just fine.
1111
00:54:59,921 --> 00:55:01,589
Yes, they do.
A lot of things.
1112
00:55:03,008 --> 00:55:04,926
Smack, crack, bushwhacked
1113
00:55:04,926 --> 00:55:06,761
- Tie another one
- Congratulations.
1114
00:55:06,761 --> 00:55:09,347
To your racks, baby
1115
00:55:09,347 --> 00:55:11,433
- So proud of you.
- Thank you.
1116
00:55:12,475 --> 00:55:14,102
Nice. Good job.
1117
00:55:15,353 --> 00:55:18,857
Hey, kids, rock and roll
1118
00:55:18,857 --> 00:55:23,695
Nobody tells you
Where to go, baby
1119
00:55:28,950 --> 00:55:32,329
What if I ride?
What if you walk?
1120
00:55:32,329 --> 00:55:35,832
What if you rock
Around the clock?
1121
00:55:35,832 --> 00:55:38,251
Tick-tock
1122
00:55:39,294 --> 00:55:42,589
Tick-tock
1123
00:55:42,589 --> 00:55:45,925
What if you did?
What if you walk?
1124
00:55:45,925 --> 00:55:50,680
What if you tried
To get off, baby?
1125
00:55:51,681 --> 00:55:53,516
Oh
