Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,792 --> 00:00:02,751
[man]
Previously on Billions...
2
00:00:02,752 --> 00:00:03,794
[Chuck] Mr. Andolov,
3
00:00:03,795 --> 00:00:05,295
My first act as attorney general
4
00:00:05,296 --> 00:00:08,424
was to freeze your funds
in the United States.
5
00:00:08,425 --> 00:00:11,593
My second act is inviting you
to leave our sunny shores.
6
00:00:11,594 --> 00:00:15,848
I, of course, picked up
the scent of the Axelrod
7
00:00:15,849 --> 00:00:16,974
behind this.
8
00:00:16,975 --> 00:00:18,976
Charles Rhodes, Jr.
Is hereby removed
9
00:00:18,977 --> 00:00:20,811
as attorney general
of the state of New York.
10
00:00:20,812 --> 00:00:24,106
[Chuck] Everywhere
he goes, we are watching.
11
00:00:24,107 --> 00:00:25,941
It's hard to march
toward the presidency
12
00:00:25,942 --> 00:00:27,693
when you're always
looking over your shoulder.
13
00:00:27,694 --> 00:00:28,986
The beginnings of a plan.
14
00:00:28,987 --> 00:00:30,696
Secrecy and deception.
15
00:00:30,697 --> 00:00:31,947
I'm starting to get misty.
16
00:00:31,948 --> 00:00:33,741
Jesus.
You like shaking people up.
17
00:00:33,742 --> 00:00:35,034
Like it? I don't know.
18
00:00:35,035 --> 00:00:36,035
It just happens.
19
00:00:36,036 --> 00:00:37,286
I love that you're loyal
20
00:00:37,287 --> 00:00:39,246
until I help
get you elected to Congress.
21
00:00:39,247 --> 00:00:41,331
[Chuck]
You've accumulated so much,
22
00:00:41,332 --> 00:00:43,125
you think laws
don't apply to you?
23
00:00:43,126 --> 00:00:45,961
Who appointed you the keeper
of these cosmic rules
24
00:00:45,962 --> 00:00:47,212
in the first place?
25
00:00:47,213 --> 00:00:49,090
The fucking arrogance!
26
00:01:29,005 --> 00:01:31,173
[sighs]
Oh, I've always wanted
27
00:01:31,174 --> 00:01:33,133
to see
Vestmannaeyjar in the dark.
28
00:01:33,134 --> 00:01:36,720
Best way for a newly installed
U.S. Attorney not to be tracked.
29
00:01:36,721 --> 00:01:39,765
And for an international
fugitive not to be extradited.
30
00:01:39,766 --> 00:01:41,058
Something for everyone.
31
00:01:41,059 --> 00:01:43,060
Lay it out for me.
32
00:01:43,061 --> 00:01:44,770
I've been told
I needed to see you.
33
00:01:44,771 --> 00:01:47,189
When Wendy wants something,
she's very persuasive.
34
00:01:47,190 --> 00:01:49,275
Eh, that's why I called her.
35
00:01:50,276 --> 00:01:53,028
I need safe passage to America.
36
00:01:53,029 --> 00:01:56,282
- For you?
- No, not for me.
37
00:01:59,035 --> 00:02:00,202
I'll need a name, Robert.
38
00:02:00,203 --> 00:02:03,080
Yeah, Charles,
I'm working up to it.
39
00:02:03,081 --> 00:02:04,873
Is that because
I'm going to hate it?
40
00:02:04,874 --> 00:02:07,460
Well, you ain't gonna love it.
41
00:02:13,299 --> 00:02:16,719
[speaking Ukranian]
42
00:02:35,697 --> 00:02:38,324
[man speaking Ukranian]
43
00:02:43,079 --> 00:02:45,915
[tense music playing]
44
00:03:37,258 --> 00:03:40,720
Vasily Melnikov, stabbed.
45
00:03:41,346 --> 00:03:43,932
Vladislav Avayev, shot.
46
00:03:44,557 --> 00:03:47,769
Sergey Protosenya, hanged.
47
00:03:48,937 --> 00:03:52,314
Alexander Tyulyakov,
also hanged.
48
00:03:52,315 --> 00:03:55,150
And the list goes on.
49
00:03:55,151 --> 00:04:00,406
All friends and colleagues
of mine. All dead.
50
00:04:02,033 --> 00:04:03,325
[Axe] My condolences.
51
00:04:03,326 --> 00:04:06,119
Dangerous time
to be an oligarch.
52
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,081
[Grigor]
Yet when you called and asked,
53
00:04:09,082 --> 00:04:11,333
even though we had agreed
54
00:04:11,334 --> 00:04:14,920
you would stay out
of my part of the world,
55
00:04:14,921 --> 00:04:17,464
I helped you anyway.
56
00:04:17,465 --> 00:04:19,258
Helped me?
57
00:04:19,259 --> 00:04:21,134
No, we both worked together
58
00:04:21,135 --> 00:04:24,179
to help the man
in the olive drab t-shirt.
59
00:04:24,180 --> 00:04:27,557
Because both he
and his country needed it.
60
00:04:27,558 --> 00:04:29,184
- Yours, too.
- Hmm.
61
00:04:29,185 --> 00:04:32,271
Not how the Kremlin sees it.
62
00:04:32,272 --> 00:04:33,939
[Axe]
That's how you see it.
63
00:04:33,940 --> 00:04:36,984
You know, it's no good being
a citizen, even a rich one,
64
00:04:36,985 --> 00:04:39,945
from a country
that's isolated, bled dry.
65
00:04:39,946 --> 00:04:43,198
Well, like how I felt
when you chased me
66
00:04:43,199 --> 00:04:45,534
out of the United States.
67
00:04:45,535 --> 00:04:48,203
Ah, that's semi-ancient history.
68
00:04:48,204 --> 00:04:51,415
Now you have freedom here
in Europe. We both do.
69
00:04:51,416 --> 00:04:55,002
To walk the streets.
To wet our beaks.
70
00:04:55,003 --> 00:04:57,379
Thanks to the arms
that I financed,
71
00:04:57,380 --> 00:04:59,089
and you sourced.
72
00:04:59,090 --> 00:05:03,427
And you think this
wipes our ledger clean?
73
00:05:03,428 --> 00:05:06,388
Oh, did I forget to send you
a fucking fruit basket?
74
00:05:06,389 --> 00:05:11,643
Oh, a few kumquats is not
going to change anything.
75
00:05:11,644 --> 00:05:14,521
But our ledger is not clean.
76
00:05:14,522 --> 00:05:19,192
It is like a windshield
that was tended to
77
00:05:19,193 --> 00:05:22,779
by your... [squeaking sounds]
78
00:05:22,780 --> 00:05:27,326
squeegee men that thrived
under your Mayor Dinkins.
79
00:05:27,327 --> 00:05:30,912
All the showy effort and noise,
80
00:05:30,913 --> 00:05:36,293
and still, windshield
covered in grime and dirt.
81
00:05:36,294 --> 00:05:40,756
Until I am rehabilitated
in the United States,
82
00:05:40,757 --> 00:05:42,257
we are not square.
83
00:05:42,258 --> 00:05:44,217
I'm not even rehabilitated there.
84
00:05:44,218 --> 00:05:46,345
And I'm not a foreign national.
You are.
85
00:05:46,346 --> 00:05:49,473
And I am the one
defying my government
86
00:05:49,474 --> 00:05:53,685
during a purge
that makes Joe Stalin
87
00:05:53,686 --> 00:05:57,272
look like Joan fucking Baez.
88
00:05:57,273 --> 00:06:01,610
If my loyalty is even questioned
89
00:06:01,611 --> 00:06:03,904
by the leaders of my country...
90
00:06:03,905 --> 00:06:06,448
I get it. You go on
the dead oligarch list.
91
00:06:06,449 --> 00:06:08,659
Hm. So now...
92
00:06:09,660 --> 00:06:10,869
to what I need.
93
00:06:10,870 --> 00:06:15,248
And what you will
deliver on a platter.
94
00:06:15,249 --> 00:06:18,668
I need to return to America.
95
00:06:18,669 --> 00:06:21,421
On a deeply personal mission.
96
00:06:21,422 --> 00:06:24,591
You do know that
all your funds are frozen?
97
00:06:24,592 --> 00:06:26,635
Down to the last kopek.
98
00:06:26,636 --> 00:06:29,179
Plus, you're on
a sanctions list.
99
00:06:29,180 --> 00:06:31,390
No matter what the mission,
100
00:06:31,391 --> 00:06:33,266
I suggest you conduct it
somewhere else.
101
00:06:33,267 --> 00:06:34,393
[Grigor] No, Axe.
102
00:06:34,394 --> 00:06:39,356
You will arrange it
so I can walk back in,
103
00:06:39,357 --> 00:06:41,274
do my business freely,
104
00:06:41,275 --> 00:06:46,405
and in return,
I will grant something to you.
105
00:06:46,406 --> 00:06:49,533
Could be tickets to the Bolshoi,
106
00:06:49,534 --> 00:06:52,077
could be to allow you
107
00:06:52,078 --> 00:06:54,162
to keep walking around here,
108
00:06:54,163 --> 00:06:56,456
breathing freely.
109
00:06:56,457 --> 00:06:58,417
Threats? Really?
110
00:06:58,418 --> 00:07:02,629
What in my history makes you
think I respond well to threats?
111
00:07:02,630 --> 00:07:05,549
What in my history
makes you think
112
00:07:05,550 --> 00:07:08,177
it's merely a threat?
113
00:07:13,099 --> 00:07:15,267
[Chuck]
Grigor Andolov.
114
00:07:15,268 --> 00:07:17,102
It's within your authority,
115
00:07:17,103 --> 00:07:19,354
within your ability
to figure it out anyway.
116
00:07:19,355 --> 00:07:21,565
[Chuck] To give
an exiled criminal a visa?
117
00:07:21,566 --> 00:07:22,732
So he can, what,
118
00:07:22,733 --> 00:07:25,110
muscle in on the Brighton Beach
heroin trade?
119
00:07:25,111 --> 00:07:26,611
Fuck with our next election?
120
00:07:26,612 --> 00:07:29,030
[Axe]
His wife's still in New York.
121
00:07:29,031 --> 00:07:31,700
She's suing for divorce
on grounds of abandonment.
122
00:07:31,701 --> 00:07:33,743
Well, maybe he can
countersue for irony.
123
00:07:33,744 --> 00:07:37,164
And if he can't even show up...
124
00:07:37,165 --> 00:07:39,124
she gets a default judgment
worth billions.
125
00:07:39,125 --> 00:07:43,463
Oh! Now we're talking
your love language.
126
00:07:44,630 --> 00:07:46,381
This is important to me.
127
00:07:46,382 --> 00:07:48,133
Important to you.
128
00:07:48,134 --> 00:07:49,509
To the man who defied me
129
00:07:49,510 --> 00:07:51,219
on that heliport
not so long ago?
130
00:07:51,220 --> 00:07:55,432
[scoffs] I would consider it
a personal favor.
131
00:07:55,433 --> 00:07:57,392
When Ali was broke,
could no longer fight,
132
00:07:57,393 --> 00:07:59,060
couldn't even
pick up his dinner tab,
133
00:07:59,061 --> 00:08:01,062
Smoking Joe
hauled him into his limo,
134
00:08:01,063 --> 00:08:03,148
counted out a thousand bucks, cash.
135
00:08:03,149 --> 00:08:06,318
Sure, the old combatants code.
136
00:08:06,319 --> 00:08:08,528
But based on the shiny new G800,
137
00:08:08,529 --> 00:08:10,363
plenty of purses
rolling your way.
138
00:08:10,364 --> 00:08:12,741
Yeah, I'm flush.
139
00:08:12,742 --> 00:08:14,409
So I'll make you an offer.
140
00:08:14,410 --> 00:08:16,328
You get Grigor to the U.S.,
141
00:08:16,329 --> 00:08:18,497
I'll owe you a debt.
142
00:08:18,498 --> 00:08:21,416
You do remember when I kicked
him out of there, that, too,
143
00:08:21,417 --> 00:08:22,626
was a favor to you?
144
00:08:22,627 --> 00:08:24,127
Yeah, it's all more perplexing
145
00:08:24,128 --> 00:08:25,587
than the betrayal
of Johnny Caspar.
146
00:08:25,588 --> 00:08:26,755
But I need it done.
147
00:08:26,756 --> 00:08:28,381
So if you do it,
148
00:08:28,382 --> 00:08:31,468
I promise that I will come
through for you when you ask.
149
00:08:31,469 --> 00:08:34,429
And I think you know,
when I make a promise,
150
00:08:34,430 --> 00:08:37,099
I don't come up short.
151
00:08:39,936 --> 00:08:41,562
[dry chuckle]
152
00:08:45,441 --> 00:08:46,900
[sighs] Well, I'll say it.
153
00:08:46,901 --> 00:08:48,568
We aren't breaking through.
154
00:08:48,569 --> 00:08:50,695
Yet you remain undefined
155
00:08:50,696 --> 00:08:52,364
beyond rich, smart, nice guy.
156
00:08:52,365 --> 00:08:55,408
The party primaries are sucking
up all the media attention.
157
00:08:55,409 --> 00:08:57,244
Do I have to fly
the National damn Guard
158
00:08:57,245 --> 00:08:58,954
every time
I want some political ink?
159
00:08:58,955 --> 00:09:00,497
Can you?
160
00:09:00,498 --> 00:09:01,581
I'm not laughing.
161
00:09:01,582 --> 00:09:03,208
What else has had
that type of impact,
162
00:09:03,209 --> 00:09:05,210
historically,
for an outsider candidate?
163
00:09:05,211 --> 00:09:07,796
The only independent to ever
really get traction was...
164
00:09:07,797 --> 00:09:10,007
Yes. Perot.
165
00:09:11,342 --> 00:09:12,425
I saw it as a kid.
166
00:09:12,426 --> 00:09:15,178
I buy a... a half hour
on every major network.
167
00:09:15,179 --> 00:09:17,138
- Live speech.
- Hm. It'll play like you're
168
00:09:17,139 --> 00:09:20,183
making an acceptance speech
at your own national convention.
169
00:09:20,184 --> 00:09:22,310
Yeah, we call that
the primetime roadblock.
170
00:09:22,311 --> 00:09:25,397
No way around us, we'll
reframe the entire race.
171
00:09:25,398 --> 00:09:28,066
How do you win
outside the system?
172
00:09:28,067 --> 00:09:31,403
You run as the antidote
to the system.
173
00:09:31,404 --> 00:09:33,446
The theme will be
taking inventory,
174
00:09:33,447 --> 00:09:34,614
looking inside ourselves
175
00:09:34,615 --> 00:09:36,324
to see how
we let things get this bad.
176
00:09:36,325 --> 00:09:39,619
Yes. Asking the hard,
honest questions
177
00:09:39,620 --> 00:09:42,163
no politician dares ask...
178
00:09:42,164 --> 00:09:45,250
to remake ourselves
in order to remake the country.
179
00:09:45,251 --> 00:09:46,376
Before it's too late.
180
00:09:46,377 --> 00:09:48,378
[Wags] The full Lincoln.
Do it the right way,
181
00:09:48,379 --> 00:09:49,838
the other candidates
will look like
182
00:09:49,839 --> 00:09:51,506
lawn jockeys
at the Belmont Stakes.
183
00:09:51,507 --> 00:09:52,591
[Wendy] Tell the story...
184
00:09:52,592 --> 00:09:53,800
of how you ask your people
185
00:09:53,801 --> 00:09:55,260
how you can do better,
186
00:09:55,261 --> 00:09:58,054
be better, as you
will also ask the country.
187
00:09:58,055 --> 00:09:59,639
I like that.
188
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,100
Then you have to really do it.
189
00:10:02,101 --> 00:10:04,561
Solicit honest feedback
from your employees.
190
00:10:04,562 --> 00:10:07,606
Use it as fuel for the speech.
191
00:10:07,607 --> 00:10:08,690
Use it as an example.
192
00:10:08,691 --> 00:10:10,150
[Luke] Yeah, great.
193
00:10:10,151 --> 00:10:11,776
I'll run focus groups with
your people to get that info.
194
00:10:11,777 --> 00:10:13,069
[Prince] Hm.
195
00:10:13,070 --> 00:10:15,280
Boil it down to a lean
PowerPoint to present to you.
196
00:10:15,281 --> 00:10:16,573
I'm not sure inserting a layer
197
00:10:16,574 --> 00:10:18,700
between Mike and his guys
is the way to success.
198
00:10:18,701 --> 00:10:19,909
Happens to be the only way
199
00:10:19,910 --> 00:10:21,661
the political research
process works.
200
00:10:21,662 --> 00:10:22,954
Filters, funnels, all of it.
201
00:10:22,955 --> 00:10:24,539
No, no, no.
I want the full fire hose.
202
00:10:24,540 --> 00:10:26,041
That's the point.
As Wendy says.
203
00:10:26,042 --> 00:10:27,417
Okay, how about this?
204
00:10:27,418 --> 00:10:29,377
I run the process
with Mike in the room.
205
00:10:29,378 --> 00:10:31,796
We make it authentic, substantial.
206
00:10:31,797 --> 00:10:33,214
Full fat, full flavor.
207
00:10:33,215 --> 00:10:35,759
So Mike can eat it up
and then spit it out.
208
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,844
We'd spend all week
Heimliching the guy.
209
00:10:37,845 --> 00:10:39,554
This has to be a battle cry.
210
00:10:39,555 --> 00:10:42,432
No, no, no time for
self-recrimination or anything
211
00:10:42,433 --> 00:10:43,892
that blunts
the tip of the sword.
212
00:10:43,893 --> 00:10:45,352
Like actual self-knowledge?
213
00:10:45,353 --> 00:10:46,603
I have to run this process.
214
00:10:46,604 --> 00:10:48,188
So you can baby-proof
the credenza.
215
00:10:48,189 --> 00:10:50,357
So I can keep out the noise.
Same process I used
216
00:10:50,358 --> 00:10:51,650
to elect a third of the Senate.
217
00:10:51,651 --> 00:10:52,984
Oh, the same guys
that are so out of touch,
218
00:10:52,985 --> 00:10:54,653
Mike had to step in
and run 'em out of town?
219
00:10:54,654 --> 00:10:56,571
I don't need my candidate
picking pepper out of fly shit
220
00:10:56,572 --> 00:10:58,531
- on the eve of a major speech.
- [Prince] I've heard enough.
221
00:10:58,532 --> 00:11:00,825
Brad, you can run the process
with me in the room.
222
00:11:00,826 --> 00:11:04,412
Wendy'll be there, too.
Team of rivals.
223
00:11:04,413 --> 00:11:07,208
Make the buy, set the meeting.
224
00:11:11,921 --> 00:11:13,963
[door opens]
225
00:11:13,964 --> 00:11:16,800
[sighs]
226
00:11:16,801 --> 00:11:21,097
We are gonna do something
extremely hard.
227
00:11:22,181 --> 00:11:23,723
[Ira] Um, great?
228
00:11:23,724 --> 00:11:26,810
[sighs] Yeah, everyone's
gonna be angry about it.
229
00:11:26,811 --> 00:11:30,021
It'll cause enormous tension
with Washington,
230
00:11:30,022 --> 00:11:31,606
with Albany, too.
231
00:11:31,607 --> 00:11:34,484
Sounds horrible.
What's it entail?
232
00:11:34,485 --> 00:11:36,820
Getting a previously
ejected oligarch
233
00:11:36,821 --> 00:11:38,446
back into the country.
234
00:11:38,447 --> 00:11:40,031
- A Russian oligarch?
- [Chuck] Mm-hmm.
235
00:11:40,032 --> 00:11:41,783
One with a big red
target on his back.
236
00:11:41,784 --> 00:11:46,121
From DOJ, from DHS,
from Interpol, too.
237
00:11:46,122 --> 00:11:48,415
Grigor Andolov.
238
00:11:48,416 --> 00:11:50,417
And you want to do this now,
239
00:11:50,418 --> 00:11:52,460
during the second coming
of the Red Menace.
240
00:11:52,461 --> 00:11:54,754
Like I said, extremely hard.
241
00:11:54,755 --> 00:11:56,089
If it's doable at all.
242
00:11:56,090 --> 00:11:58,466
Why would you even consider it?
243
00:11:58,467 --> 00:12:01,804
As a favor to Bobby Axelrod.
244
00:12:02,722 --> 00:12:04,013
Those words just
tumbled out of your mouth
245
00:12:04,014 --> 00:12:05,432
like a meth addict's teeth...
246
00:12:05,433 --> 00:12:07,183
- [sighs]
- and just as fucked up.
247
00:12:07,184 --> 00:12:10,270
[stammers] How do you
figure you'll pull this off?
248
00:12:10,271 --> 00:12:13,398
I have to talk
to a special advisor.
249
00:12:13,399 --> 00:12:15,483
- Big man in certain circles.
- [door opens]
250
00:12:15,484 --> 00:12:18,403
Bunky Stevens
is going to be a father
251
00:12:18,404 --> 00:12:21,614
with his third wife, Candy.
252
00:12:21,615 --> 00:12:23,575
Neat trick, considering he died
253
00:12:23,576 --> 00:12:25,660
- a few months back.
- [Swerdlow] Mm-mm.
254
00:12:25,661 --> 00:12:27,912
Post-mortem
jizz retrieval, you dig?
255
00:12:27,913 --> 00:12:28,997
Not sure I do.
256
00:12:28,998 --> 00:12:30,665
[Swerdlow] Well, you get
the stiff on the table,
257
00:12:30,666 --> 00:12:32,250
even though
he ain't so stiff no more.
258
00:12:32,251 --> 00:12:33,501
Get my drift?
259
00:12:33,502 --> 00:12:35,253
And then you
drain those berries.
260
00:12:35,254 --> 00:12:37,797
You do it soon enough, you
end up with viable swimmers,
261
00:12:37,798 --> 00:12:39,632
Jizz. Stuff of life.
262
00:12:39,633 --> 00:12:41,509
[Chuck Sr.]
Stuff of fraud.
263
00:12:41,510 --> 00:12:44,637
There's a new fertility start-up
out there doing this.
264
00:12:44,638 --> 00:12:48,016
Candy is just beefing up
her claim on the estate.
265
00:12:48,017 --> 00:12:50,894
The first and second wives
will get nothing...
266
00:12:50,895 --> 00:12:52,562
now that there's
going to be an heir.
267
00:12:52,563 --> 00:12:54,814
No respect for the starter
wives in our culture,
268
00:12:54,815 --> 00:12:56,149
chicks who break the seal.
269
00:12:56,150 --> 00:12:57,567
In Thailand,
even the minor wives
270
00:12:57,568 --> 00:12:59,277
get one hell of
a birthday bunfight.
271
00:12:59,278 --> 00:13:00,528
Uh-huh.
272
00:13:00,529 --> 00:13:01,821
You're going to want
to think global
273
00:13:01,822 --> 00:13:03,114
but act local on this one.
274
00:13:03,115 --> 00:13:04,365
[Chuck] Mm.
275
00:13:04,366 --> 00:13:05,784
It's your worst nightmare,
isn't it?
276
00:13:05,785 --> 00:13:08,411
A paternity suit that
can't be settled out of court.
277
00:13:08,412 --> 00:13:11,456
Oh, it's a question of
basic fairness, don't you see?
278
00:13:11,457 --> 00:13:13,625
Never your concern.
279
00:13:13,626 --> 00:13:16,044
And I don't recall you
thinking much of
280
00:13:16,045 --> 00:13:17,921
Bunky or his wives, either.
281
00:13:17,922 --> 00:13:20,673
So the fact that you're
suddenly the guardian
282
00:13:20,674 --> 00:13:23,009
of the product
of his vas deferens,
283
00:13:23,010 --> 00:13:25,804
I know there's more
to the story.
284
00:13:25,805 --> 00:13:27,180
That mean that you're not gonna
285
00:13:27,181 --> 00:13:28,973
club this company into oblivion
286
00:13:28,974 --> 00:13:32,477
and seize the embryos that
result from this unholy process?
287
00:13:32,478 --> 00:13:33,937
It means I'll look into it,
288
00:13:33,938 --> 00:13:36,606
and decide what
I'll do as usual.
289
00:13:36,607 --> 00:13:37,982
Bye, Dad.
290
00:13:37,983 --> 00:13:40,527
Hey, sugar, you be getting
that shit I've been sending you?
291
00:13:40,528 --> 00:13:43,113
I have. And I thank you.
292
00:13:44,824 --> 00:13:47,033
[scoffs] It's, uh, uh,
293
00:13:47,034 --> 00:13:48,910
I guess it's what
you'd call PEDs,
294
00:13:48,911 --> 00:13:50,620
but in lozenge form.
295
00:13:50,621 --> 00:13:52,455
So, put it under your tongue.
296
00:13:52,456 --> 00:13:54,207
It hits the bloodstream instantly.
297
00:13:54,208 --> 00:13:55,750
Like a ball-peen fucking hammer.
298
00:13:55,751 --> 00:13:59,129
Turns any man into
a world-class sheet-athlete.
299
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:01,005
Wonderful.
300
00:14:01,006 --> 00:14:02,799
[Chuck Sr.]
And I'm left wondering why
301
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,802
none of this sublingual supreme
has been sent my way.
302
00:14:05,803 --> 00:14:08,179
For the simple reason it may
kill you, big papa,
303
00:14:08,180 --> 00:14:10,140
like Dirty Harry in '71.
304
00:14:20,025 --> 00:14:21,109
[door closes]
305
00:14:21,110 --> 00:14:23,570
He goes
into this speech confident,
306
00:14:23,571 --> 00:14:24,654
he comes out sailing.
307
00:14:24,655 --> 00:14:26,406
Zooming up the fucking polls.
308
00:14:26,407 --> 00:14:28,116
And we're just supposed
to stand there clapping
309
00:14:28,117 --> 00:14:30,493
like extras
in a Riefenstahl film.
310
00:14:30,494 --> 00:14:31,619
With Bradford running point,
311
00:14:31,620 --> 00:14:33,204
the feedbacks gonna be jet fuel.
312
00:14:33,205 --> 00:14:34,957
[utensils clink]
313
00:14:36,500 --> 00:14:39,627
Uh, there is a potential
equal time issue.
314
00:14:39,628 --> 00:14:40,879
It's been dealt with.
315
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,422
I spread some more
ad dollars around
316
00:14:42,423 --> 00:14:44,007
and if any candidate
tries to buy equal time
317
00:14:44,008 --> 00:14:46,759
within a week of Prince, they
won't find any left for sale.
318
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:47,760
Nicely solved.
319
00:14:47,761 --> 00:14:49,345
Power of
the motherfucking purse.
320
00:14:49,346 --> 00:14:51,390
All over but the shouting.
321
00:14:56,896 --> 00:14:58,521
She's too effective.
We need her out of here.
322
00:14:58,522 --> 00:15:00,064
Isn't she supposed
to be running for Congress,
323
00:15:00,065 --> 00:15:01,774
instead of doing
henchman duty for Prince?
324
00:15:01,775 --> 00:15:05,029
She needs to understand
the hazards of staying.
325
00:15:09,783 --> 00:15:12,410
In my experience,
rich, powerful men
326
00:15:12,411 --> 00:15:14,495
think they want to hear
the unvarnished truth
327
00:15:14,496 --> 00:15:16,122
but don't actually
want to hear it.
328
00:15:16,123 --> 00:15:18,541
Yeah, is this really
just a loyalty test?
329
00:15:18,542 --> 00:15:20,209
If it is, let's pass it,
get back to our desks.
330
00:15:20,210 --> 00:15:21,753
It's earning season, people.
331
00:15:21,754 --> 00:15:23,504
I don't know, best just
call it the way you see it.
332
00:15:23,505 --> 00:15:25,465
You mean as long as
it's what he wants to hear?
333
00:15:25,466 --> 00:15:27,717
I mean, tell him
what he wants to hear
334
00:15:27,718 --> 00:15:29,010
no matter how you see it.
335
00:15:29,011 --> 00:15:30,762
What if that comes across
as inauthentic?
336
00:15:30,763 --> 00:15:33,014
Does your comp
come across as inauthentic?
337
00:15:33,015 --> 00:15:34,557
[Rian]
Guys, easy peasy.
338
00:15:34,558 --> 00:15:37,602
Like seeing your dorm-mate
in an off-off-Broadway play.
339
00:15:37,603 --> 00:15:40,271
You say something vague,
adjective free,
340
00:15:40,272 --> 00:15:42,023
"That was all you up there."
341
00:15:42,024 --> 00:15:44,984
And then let the ego
fill in the blanks.
342
00:15:44,985 --> 00:15:46,569
[chair sliding]
343
00:15:46,570 --> 00:15:48,905
I'm calling bullshit
on this whole exercise,
344
00:15:48,906 --> 00:15:51,950
and I sure as fuck
won't suck up.
345
00:15:51,951 --> 00:15:53,534
[chair rattles]
346
00:15:53,535 --> 00:15:57,664
Mike, you are like
a combination of Benjamin Graham
347
00:15:57,665 --> 00:15:59,999
and fucking Hal
from Space Odyssey,
348
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,542
everywhere, all at once,
349
00:16:01,543 --> 00:16:05,297
processing, prodding me
to make better trades.
350
00:16:09,843 --> 00:16:12,762
Why is there anything you've
been wanting to say to Mike,
351
00:16:12,763 --> 00:16:14,097
but thought you couldn't?
352
00:16:14,098 --> 00:16:15,974
I don't deserve you.
353
00:16:15,975 --> 00:16:18,810
The guilt, it's crushing me.
354
00:16:18,811 --> 00:16:21,854
That's something I think
we should work on.
355
00:16:21,855 --> 00:16:24,565
And the challenges
trading with him, day to day?
356
00:16:24,566 --> 00:16:28,319
I have this recurring dream
in which you make bank.
357
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:29,737
I'm talking 10X
358
00:16:29,738 --> 00:16:33,032
while doing
an ungodly amount of push ups.
359
00:16:33,033 --> 00:16:34,410
But is it really a dream?
360
00:16:37,204 --> 00:16:39,914
I'm just saying it ain't easy.
361
00:16:39,915 --> 00:16:43,419
When you set a standard that's
through the freaking roof.
362
00:16:44,253 --> 00:16:45,336
[clears throat]
363
00:16:45,337 --> 00:16:46,796
Mike, this is you and me.
364
00:16:46,797 --> 00:16:48,673
Criticism? Who are we kidding?
365
00:16:48,674 --> 00:16:51,677
Uh, would you...
Would you like to, uh...?
366
00:17:04,273 --> 00:17:05,273
[door closes]
367
00:17:05,274 --> 00:17:06,816
- Jesus.
- Let's move on.
368
00:17:06,817 --> 00:17:08,318
Yep.
369
00:17:13,782 --> 00:17:15,200
[elevator dings]
370
00:17:21,832 --> 00:17:24,083
[elevator whirrs]
371
00:17:24,084 --> 00:17:27,170
I love that you're ditching
your race for Congress.
372
00:17:27,171 --> 00:17:29,797
- I am?
- As much as we need you there,
373
00:17:29,798 --> 00:17:30,923
we need you here.
374
00:17:30,924 --> 00:17:32,759
Besides, not enough hand
sanitizer in the world
375
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,177
- to make me do that job.
- [chuckles]
376
00:17:34,178 --> 00:17:37,263
You should go long Purell,
I'm not ditching a thing.
377
00:17:37,264 --> 00:17:39,640
But you're still here?
378
00:17:39,641 --> 00:17:40,975
My filing deadline's
months away.
379
00:17:40,976 --> 00:17:43,895
But we're days away
from Prince's campaign
380
00:17:43,896 --> 00:17:45,271
becoming a black hole.
381
00:17:45,272 --> 00:17:47,815
Everything in its vicinity
sucked right in.
382
00:17:47,816 --> 00:17:50,818
You'll just be part of
the fabric of the thing,
383
00:17:50,819 --> 00:17:53,780
unable to assert yourself
as anything other than
384
00:17:53,781 --> 00:17:55,656
"Prince's fill-in-the-blank".
385
00:17:55,657 --> 00:17:58,242
[chuckles] All because he's
about to throw down a gauntlet?
386
00:17:58,243 --> 00:17:59,577
More of a grenade.
387
00:17:59,578 --> 00:18:01,622
At the parties you'll
need to nominate you.
388
00:18:03,248 --> 00:18:06,834
So I just establish a little
distance when I leave is all.
389
00:18:06,835 --> 00:18:08,044
With your family dough?
390
00:18:08,045 --> 00:18:09,754
With the whitest collar background
391
00:18:09,755 --> 00:18:11,340
of anyone at the firm?
392
00:18:12,049 --> 00:18:14,050
Ask Chang and Eng.
393
00:18:14,051 --> 00:18:16,928
Not a lot of distance
when you're joined at the hip.
394
00:18:16,929 --> 00:18:18,597
[chuckles]
395
00:18:28,649 --> 00:18:30,399
[Chuck] Must feel different
to walk this hall
396
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:31,734
as an impresario.
397
00:18:31,735 --> 00:18:33,986
No longer the guy
in the squared circle.
398
00:18:33,987 --> 00:18:36,030
Eh, still feel every bump.
399
00:18:36,031 --> 00:18:38,074
Whether you're giving 'em
whether you're taking 'em,
400
00:18:38,075 --> 00:18:39,867
whether you're scripting 'em.
401
00:18:39,868 --> 00:18:41,911
I've always wondered
if I could do it.
402
00:18:41,912 --> 00:18:43,246
Fall down for a living.
403
00:18:43,247 --> 00:18:46,874
[chuckles] You don't have
that far to fall.
404
00:18:46,875 --> 00:18:49,001
[chuckles]
Look, you could do it.
405
00:18:49,002 --> 00:18:51,003
When this crowd comes alive,
406
00:18:51,004 --> 00:18:52,255
you'd come alive.
407
00:18:52,256 --> 00:18:54,507
There is nothing else...
408
00:18:54,508 --> 00:18:56,592
- like this.
- [Chuck] Yeah.
409
00:18:56,593 --> 00:18:59,846
Well, no one knows
the game like you do, Hunter.
410
00:18:59,847 --> 00:19:01,722
And that's why
I need your advice.
411
00:19:01,723 --> 00:19:03,432
You got a game that
needs to be played?
412
00:19:03,433 --> 00:19:04,976
Yes, exactly.
413
00:19:04,977 --> 00:19:07,145
I need to turn one guy heel,
414
00:19:07,146 --> 00:19:10,189
and another guy
babyface. In one move.
415
00:19:10,190 --> 00:19:11,150
[Hunter] Oof.
416
00:19:11,151 --> 00:19:13,067
Double turn. Tough to pull off.
417
00:19:13,068 --> 00:19:15,027
But when it's done right,
418
00:19:15,028 --> 00:19:16,946
one of my personal favorites.
419
00:19:16,947 --> 00:19:19,282
How do I pull it off?
420
00:19:19,283 --> 00:19:21,117
You need to let the heel come in
421
00:19:21,118 --> 00:19:23,077
and get the heat from the crowd.
422
00:19:23,078 --> 00:19:25,413
Then your babyface comes
and gets the pop.
423
00:19:25,414 --> 00:19:27,331
[soft chuckle]
424
00:19:27,332 --> 00:19:29,250
The heat and the pop, huh?
425
00:19:29,251 --> 00:19:30,626
Oh, yeah.
426
00:19:30,627 --> 00:19:33,045
Tell me more about these guys.
What do you got on 'em?
427
00:19:33,046 --> 00:19:35,631
Well, they both think
they're babyfaces.
428
00:19:35,632 --> 00:19:38,176
That's for damn sure.
But neither one of them is.
429
00:19:38,177 --> 00:19:40,928
Every sitting senator
would give their gavel arm
430
00:19:40,929 --> 00:19:43,347
for a survey result like this.
431
00:19:43,348 --> 00:19:45,474
Did any of it feel real to you?
432
00:19:45,475 --> 00:19:47,185
I can read between the lines.
433
00:19:47,186 --> 00:19:49,312
I picked up that
I can be intimidating.
434
00:19:49,313 --> 00:19:51,356
I'll work on that.
435
00:19:55,360 --> 00:19:56,360
[scoffs]
436
00:19:56,361 --> 00:19:59,697
This is how Vietnams happen.
437
00:19:59,698 --> 00:20:01,574
How politicians lose touch
with reality.
438
00:20:01,575 --> 00:20:04,035
Hard questions stop being asked
439
00:20:04,036 --> 00:20:05,786
and they believe their own hype.
440
00:20:05,787 --> 00:20:07,413
So you want us to go back around
441
00:20:07,414 --> 00:20:09,332
and troll for negative feedback?
442
00:20:09,333 --> 00:20:11,000
So that's written down somewhere,
443
00:20:11,001 --> 00:20:12,251
so it fucks with Mike's head?
444
00:20:12,252 --> 00:20:13,502
[Wendy]
I wouldn't frame it like that.
445
00:20:13,503 --> 00:20:15,421
But if he's going to ask
the rest of us,
446
00:20:15,422 --> 00:20:17,006
the country, to take inventory,
447
00:20:17,007 --> 00:20:19,508
then he should
really fucking do it.
448
00:20:19,509 --> 00:20:20,885
Otherwise, he's as fake
449
00:20:20,886 --> 00:20:22,261
as the politicians
he's running against,
450
00:20:22,262 --> 00:20:23,638
and the voters are going
to smell it on him
451
00:20:23,639 --> 00:20:25,557
and send him packing.
452
00:20:27,601 --> 00:20:28,977
She's right.
453
00:20:30,229 --> 00:20:33,856
You want a samurai sword
and Hattori Hanz blade?
454
00:20:33,857 --> 00:20:36,400
Those only come
from the hottest flames.
455
00:20:36,401 --> 00:20:40,822
Find me a master swordsmith
without some serious burns.
456
00:20:51,750 --> 00:20:53,084
[Wags] He's letting you
457
00:20:53,085 --> 00:20:54,460
run a second round
of honesty sessions?
458
00:20:54,461 --> 00:20:56,755
[Wendy] Without Prince
in the room this time.
459
00:20:57,422 --> 00:20:58,589
No Luke either.
460
00:20:58,590 --> 00:21:00,132
I'm not comfortable with this.
461
00:21:00,133 --> 00:21:01,926
We don't know where
actual honesty will lead.
462
00:21:01,927 --> 00:21:03,219
[Wags]
Fuck yeah, we do.
463
00:21:03,220 --> 00:21:04,595
The greatest televised meltdown
464
00:21:04,596 --> 00:21:06,097
since Howard Beale.
465
00:21:06,098 --> 00:21:08,266
Prince's narcissism
is a mile-wide
466
00:21:08,267 --> 00:21:09,517
and a micron thick.
467
00:21:09,518 --> 00:21:11,936
Watch the movie.
Beale stays on air,
468
00:21:11,937 --> 00:21:13,396
Schumacher gets
kicked to the curb.
469
00:21:13,397 --> 00:21:15,314
I want to keep having
a firm to run.
470
00:21:15,315 --> 00:21:16,399
Watch it to the end.
471
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:17,984
Beale gets his brains blown out.
472
00:21:17,985 --> 00:21:19,443
Schumacher gets
to schtup a young,
473
00:21:19,444 --> 00:21:21,153
luscious-as-a-plum Faye Dunaway.
474
00:21:21,154 --> 00:21:23,197
[Wendy]
Taylor isn't wrong.
475
00:21:23,198 --> 00:21:24,907
This could implode MPC,
476
00:21:24,908 --> 00:21:28,370
as well as the campaign
and all of our places in it.
477
00:21:33,041 --> 00:21:36,837
I wanna slam Prince's ego
with a battering ram.
478
00:21:38,630 --> 00:21:41,341
No telling where
the fragments will land.
479
00:21:42,718 --> 00:21:44,969
If it hurts business.
480
00:21:44,970 --> 00:21:47,014
If it blows us up, too...
481
00:21:48,307 --> 00:21:50,017
price we gotta pay.
482
00:22:05,699 --> 00:22:06,949
[sighs]
483
00:22:06,950 --> 00:22:09,368
One question, related
to the files we discussed
484
00:22:09,369 --> 00:22:10,954
a few weeks back.
485
00:22:11,830 --> 00:22:13,664
Yep.
486
00:22:13,665 --> 00:22:15,249
If I stay on board here,
am I killing
487
00:22:15,250 --> 00:22:16,959
my chances
with the mainstream party?
488
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:18,961
Can't expect either party
to bear hug you
489
00:22:18,962 --> 00:22:20,588
after he shoots 'em
in the vitals.
490
00:22:20,589 --> 00:22:23,257
What if I wall myself off
from the campaign?
491
00:22:23,258 --> 00:22:25,426
Restrict myself to firm
business until I leave?
492
00:22:25,427 --> 00:22:28,095
The firm is the campaign.
493
00:22:28,096 --> 00:22:29,305
No wall to be built
494
00:22:29,306 --> 00:22:31,640
unless you wanna drywall
your own office door.
495
00:22:31,641 --> 00:22:32,933
[exhales]
496
00:22:32,934 --> 00:22:35,479
I was hoping we could,
uh, I don't know...
497
00:22:36,104 --> 00:22:37,229
think outside the box.
498
00:22:37,230 --> 00:22:39,774
Mmm, not so easy
when you're in one.
499
00:22:39,775 --> 00:22:41,777
[sighs]
500
00:22:42,819 --> 00:22:44,320
Got the case for ya.
501
00:22:44,321 --> 00:22:45,488
Commodities fraud.
502
00:22:45,489 --> 00:22:47,782
Uh, market manipulation
in the oil industry.
503
00:22:47,783 --> 00:22:49,158
That'll do. [sighs]
504
00:22:49,159 --> 00:22:51,035
Sure you want
to go down this road?
505
00:22:51,036 --> 00:22:53,412
We list Andolov
as an expert witness,
506
00:22:53,413 --> 00:22:55,414
then asked DOJ and DHS
507
00:22:55,415 --> 00:22:57,166
to parole him into the country.
508
00:22:57,167 --> 00:22:59,126
Get ready for
some hairpin turns.
509
00:22:59,127 --> 00:23:02,546
The guy's a sanctioned oligarch
who you chased out.
510
00:23:02,547 --> 00:23:04,048
I mean, there's impossible,
511
00:23:04,049 --> 00:23:06,008
then there's climbing
the Dawn Wall
512
00:23:06,009 --> 00:23:08,469
with a pair of Havaianas
and a bag of chalk.
513
00:23:08,470 --> 00:23:10,304
I think I can sell it.
514
00:23:10,305 --> 00:23:12,598
I also learned that
Grigor's wife is not alone
515
00:23:12,599 --> 00:23:15,017
in her divorce action...
She's got a backer,
516
00:23:15,018 --> 00:23:16,977
a hedge fund,
he's bankrolling her,
517
00:23:16,978 --> 00:23:18,312
no doubt for a big piece
of the settlement.
518
00:23:18,313 --> 00:23:21,817
- Who?
- Our very own Todd Krakow.
519
00:23:22,984 --> 00:23:24,735
And knowing him,
that's not the only reason
520
00:23:24,736 --> 00:23:26,112
he's lurking around.
521
00:23:26,113 --> 00:23:27,530
[chuckles] Because
what we need here
522
00:23:27,531 --> 00:23:28,739
are some more obstacles.
523
00:23:28,740 --> 00:23:30,784
[sighs]
524
00:23:32,077 --> 00:23:34,203
Damn the torpedoes,
file the parole request.
525
00:23:34,204 --> 00:23:35,746
[Ira] I've got
something else for you.
526
00:23:35,747 --> 00:23:37,248
- Can it wait till morning?
- Uh...
527
00:23:37,249 --> 00:23:39,166
you're going to want
to see this today.
528
00:23:39,167 --> 00:23:40,752
[Chuck sighs]
529
00:23:47,592 --> 00:23:48,759
Dad.
530
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,430
Uh, your pal Bunky
signed a consent form.
531
00:23:52,431 --> 00:23:54,723
Well, hold the fucking roll.
If your boy signed off on it,
532
00:23:54,724 --> 00:23:56,308
how come he didn't
get the missus
533
00:23:56,309 --> 00:23:57,685
to do the extraction pre-mortem?
534
00:23:57,686 --> 00:23:59,019
I mean, that's lots more fun.
535
00:23:59,020 --> 00:24:00,312
You know what I'm sayin',
baby girl?
536
00:24:00,313 --> 00:24:01,605
He didn't want to raise a kid.
537
00:24:01,606 --> 00:24:04,024
He wanted a posthumous tot
to live on after him.
538
00:24:04,025 --> 00:24:06,110
That's like that fucking movie
about the octopus.
539
00:24:06,111 --> 00:24:07,570
She popped some eggs
from her cooch,
540
00:24:07,571 --> 00:24:10,157
and then she slides
into an undersea death spiral.
541
00:24:11,032 --> 00:24:13,242
Hm.
542
00:24:13,243 --> 00:24:16,705
This isn't about Bunky at all.
What is it?
543
00:24:18,623 --> 00:24:20,499
Okay, fine.
544
00:24:20,500 --> 00:24:22,002
I'll tell you.
545
00:24:24,463 --> 00:24:27,007
It's Roxanne and Willow.
546
00:24:28,425 --> 00:24:30,092
[indistinct chatter]
547
00:24:30,093 --> 00:24:32,804
[Chuck Sr.]
I saw them praying...
548
00:24:33,555 --> 00:24:35,431
to Jesus.
549
00:24:35,432 --> 00:24:37,600
When we agreed
we wouldn't raise Willow
550
00:24:37,601 --> 00:24:39,728
with religion at all.
551
00:24:41,813 --> 00:24:44,773
Beware, Sonny Boy,
legacy is a lie!
552
00:24:44,774 --> 00:24:48,235
There is no control
in the hereafter.
553
00:24:48,236 --> 00:24:49,653
Oh, shit. It's true.
554
00:24:49,654 --> 00:24:51,489
You know, once they get
the Jesus fever,
555
00:24:51,490 --> 00:24:52,698
it's rarely treatable.
556
00:24:52,699 --> 00:24:54,575
Just like the fucking
Orthodox in my tribe.
557
00:24:54,576 --> 00:24:57,661
Yeah, a Rhoades
spouting the Lord's Prayer,
558
00:24:57,662 --> 00:25:00,498
I know what a disaster
that is for you.
559
00:25:00,499 --> 00:25:02,124
You need to talk to Roxanne.
560
00:25:02,125 --> 00:25:04,126
Just rein it in
before it takes root.
561
00:25:04,127 --> 00:25:07,088
Not in a talking mood.
562
00:25:09,382 --> 00:25:10,549
I'm drawing up my demands
563
00:25:10,550 --> 00:25:13,177
for the upbringing
of my progeny.
564
00:25:13,178 --> 00:25:17,181
Schooling, vacations,
earthly pursuits.
565
00:25:17,182 --> 00:25:19,600
This... This God shit?
566
00:25:19,601 --> 00:25:21,101
Strictly off the list.
567
00:25:21,102 --> 00:25:23,604
Because ultimatums
work so well in a marriage?
568
00:25:23,605 --> 00:25:27,692
If she won't heed mine,
then we are headed for divorce.
569
00:25:28,443 --> 00:25:30,362
And I'm going for custody.
570
00:25:35,909 --> 00:25:37,953
[door slides shut]
571
00:25:48,171 --> 00:25:52,174
I knew you'd come.
I've been expecting you.
572
00:25:52,175 --> 00:25:55,344
I saw in the papers
you're back in your old job.
573
00:25:55,345 --> 00:25:56,637
Indeed.
574
00:25:56,638 --> 00:25:59,390
But I figured
you'd make an appointment.
575
00:25:59,391 --> 00:26:02,769
I'm not actually here for that.
576
00:26:04,020 --> 00:26:05,854
It's about my father.
577
00:26:05,855 --> 00:26:08,732
Oh. Well. Usually is.
578
00:26:08,733 --> 00:26:12,571
[Chuck scoffs]
No, I need some information.
579
00:26:14,322 --> 00:26:16,740
About the nature of control.
580
00:26:16,741 --> 00:26:18,492
Dominance.
581
00:26:18,493 --> 00:26:22,204
Why some seem
unable to give it up.
582
00:26:22,205 --> 00:26:24,331
You trying to save yourself?
583
00:26:24,332 --> 00:26:26,458
[Chuck]
No. Not this time, no.
584
00:26:26,459 --> 00:26:29,045
My dad needs some peace.
585
00:26:30,088 --> 00:26:32,673
But his daughter...
586
00:26:32,674 --> 00:26:37,220
she needs to be spared
the kind of upbringing I had.
587
00:26:38,263 --> 00:26:40,764
That relentless,
controlling instinct which...
588
00:26:40,765 --> 00:26:42,725
Which led you here
in the first place.
589
00:26:42,726 --> 00:26:47,479
Which led me to mirror him
in 98% of my interactions.
590
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:51,234
And then to have to completely
repudiate it here.
591
00:26:52,819 --> 00:26:54,403
Sometimes there's
a certain comfort
592
00:26:54,404 --> 00:26:57,406
in jumping at others' command.
593
00:26:57,407 --> 00:26:59,742
Control is all
an illusion anyway.
594
00:26:59,743 --> 00:27:01,410
Huh. Tell that to the guy
595
00:27:01,411 --> 00:27:03,787
in the business end
of the truncheon.
596
00:27:03,788 --> 00:27:07,208
But if you're
paying someone to wield it,
597
00:27:07,959 --> 00:27:10,003
who's really in control?
598
00:27:11,463 --> 00:27:15,424
End of the day,
client gets the meal.
599
00:27:15,425 --> 00:27:18,385
I just plate the food.
600
00:27:18,386 --> 00:27:21,096
You think my dad
is fooling himself?
601
00:27:21,097 --> 00:27:23,849
[Troy] Raging against
his own impotence, maybe.
602
00:27:23,850 --> 00:27:26,393
His mortality.
603
00:27:26,394 --> 00:27:29,188
Control is often
an expression of fear.
604
00:27:29,189 --> 00:27:31,732
People who truly believe
they're in control?
605
00:27:31,733 --> 00:27:35,986
More likely to escalate
their actions till they fail.
606
00:27:35,987 --> 00:27:38,030
Leads to poor decision making.
607
00:27:38,031 --> 00:27:40,367
- Magical thinking.
- Hm.
608
00:27:41,409 --> 00:27:42,701
Problem is...
609
00:27:42,702 --> 00:27:45,955
telling a controller
not to doesn't work.
610
00:27:46,748 --> 00:27:47,748
I've noticed.
611
00:27:47,749 --> 00:27:49,541
Your hope lies in convincing him
612
00:27:49,542 --> 00:27:52,628
that his true power
is best displayed
613
00:27:52,629 --> 00:27:55,173
in not having to use it.
614
00:28:03,723 --> 00:28:05,432
I promised them anonymity.
615
00:28:05,433 --> 00:28:07,976
Then work to get them past
their instinct for flattery,
616
00:28:07,977 --> 00:28:09,812
for base self-interest.
617
00:28:09,813 --> 00:28:12,190
I'm ready for
the unplugged version.
618
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,819
"Self-satisfied."
"Loves himself."
619
00:28:16,820 --> 00:28:19,197
"Mother Teresa of Wall Street."
620
00:28:20,365 --> 00:28:21,782
"Loves the smell
of his own farts,
621
00:28:21,783 --> 00:28:24,868
like the "Smug Alert"
episode of South Park"?
622
00:28:24,869 --> 00:28:26,620
- Never saw that one.
- I have.
623
00:28:26,621 --> 00:28:28,872
It's a top-tier episode.
Heh. Who said that?
624
00:28:28,873 --> 00:28:30,582
You can't think
I'm gonna name names.
625
00:28:30,583 --> 00:28:32,918
I just... I want to do
some relationship repair.
626
00:28:32,919 --> 00:28:34,753
[stammers]
Of course, no.
627
00:28:34,754 --> 00:28:38,257
Uh, "Entitled, thinks he can
buy us off with private planes.
628
00:28:38,258 --> 00:28:41,177
I mean, I'll take the flights,
but fuck that."
629
00:28:41,886 --> 00:28:43,637
[sighs then scoffs]
630
00:28:43,638 --> 00:28:46,640
"Forces you to come to his party
and act like you like it
631
00:28:46,641 --> 00:28:48,434
while he slakes his appetite..."
632
00:28:48,435 --> 00:28:49,560
[Luke]
Stop right there.
633
00:28:49,561 --> 00:28:50,811
There's no reason for Mike
634
00:28:50,812 --> 00:28:53,439
to be subject to
the petty staff jealousies
635
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,274
and... and character sniping.
636
00:28:55,275 --> 00:28:57,276
I mean, we all
sat through your round.
637
00:28:57,277 --> 00:28:58,902
I didn't take you
for the squeamish type.
638
00:28:58,903 --> 00:29:01,029
And this is when
we bring it back around,
639
00:29:01,030 --> 00:29:03,115
put it in a context?
640
00:29:03,116 --> 00:29:04,908
[scoffs]
641
00:29:04,909 --> 00:29:06,994
Here's the context.
You have to decide
642
00:29:06,995 --> 00:29:08,787
what taking inventory
actually means.
643
00:29:08,788 --> 00:29:10,622
Whether you can push through
the friction
644
00:29:10,623 --> 00:29:12,750
as commander in chief,
a lot fucking worse
645
00:29:12,751 --> 00:29:14,084
than what you heard just now.
646
00:29:14,085 --> 00:29:15,502
And do what must be done.
647
00:29:15,503 --> 00:29:17,045
What only you can do
for the country.
648
00:29:17,046 --> 00:29:20,466
Even if it turns you
into a dartboard.
649
00:29:20,467 --> 00:29:23,218
I think you can,
or I'd be lying to your face
650
00:29:23,219 --> 00:29:26,638
like everyone else on that floor
instead of, you know...
651
00:29:26,639 --> 00:29:28,808
giving you what you asked for.
652
00:29:36,649 --> 00:29:38,318
That'll be all.
653
00:29:47,660 --> 00:29:49,329
[door closes]
654
00:29:57,086 --> 00:29:59,172
[clears throat]
655
00:30:03,927 --> 00:30:06,720
These are all A-list attorneys.
656
00:30:06,721 --> 00:30:08,055
Serious political chops, too.
657
00:30:08,056 --> 00:30:09,807
You think
we need more firepower?
658
00:30:09,808 --> 00:30:11,016
[Sacker] No.
659
00:30:11,017 --> 00:30:14,853
But I don't want to leave
without replacing myself.
660
00:30:14,854 --> 00:30:17,899
But it's time. Past time.
661
00:30:18,983 --> 00:30:20,442
The speech is tomorrow.
662
00:30:20,443 --> 00:30:23,487
I need to get with the party
that can nominate me.
663
00:30:23,488 --> 00:30:25,864
Terms of my hire, remember?
664
00:30:25,865 --> 00:30:27,492
What do you want?
665
00:30:28,201 --> 00:30:29,493
What will it take
666
00:30:29,494 --> 00:30:32,496
to stick around longer
till we can right the ship?
667
00:30:32,497 --> 00:30:34,456
If I stay and help you right it,
668
00:30:34,457 --> 00:30:37,584
it'll be pretty hard
to get off it.
669
00:30:37,585 --> 00:30:39,670
If your departure
is made public,
670
00:30:39,671 --> 00:30:40,963
this of all weeks...
671
00:30:40,964 --> 00:30:42,214
Maybe we all go quiet on this
672
00:30:42,215 --> 00:30:43,674
until the hand-off's complete.
673
00:30:43,675 --> 00:30:46,219
It has to be public.
It has to be now.
674
00:30:46,845 --> 00:30:48,095
A couple of days at the most.
675
00:30:48,096 --> 00:30:52,015
I need to establish
a little distance to him.
676
00:30:52,016 --> 00:30:54,977
Scrub your name off mine
while I still can.
677
00:30:54,978 --> 00:30:57,355
- It's just politics, Mike.
- [sighs]
678
00:30:58,731 --> 00:31:00,358
I hope you understand.
679
00:31:04,779 --> 00:31:06,822
Don't walk away
from Prince Capital
680
00:31:06,823 --> 00:31:08,115
or Prince himself.
681
00:31:08,116 --> 00:31:09,449
I don't quit now,
682
00:31:09,450 --> 00:31:11,451
both parties will freeze me out.
683
00:31:11,452 --> 00:31:12,953
Nothing on the plus side
of the ledger
684
00:31:12,954 --> 00:31:14,873
competes with that.
685
00:31:15,665 --> 00:31:17,584
"Love To Love You, Baby."
686
00:31:19,252 --> 00:31:20,627
Come again?
687
00:31:20,628 --> 00:31:23,338
It's the song that took
dance music from the club floor
688
00:31:23,339 --> 00:31:24,882
to the top of the charts.
689
00:31:24,883 --> 00:31:26,592
Broke me as a music manager.
690
00:31:26,593 --> 00:31:30,137
Made Donna Summer into
the queen of a whole new genre.
691
00:31:30,138 --> 00:31:32,180
You said it ended badly.
692
00:31:32,181 --> 00:31:33,599
Always does.
693
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:37,936
But before that, she was
my double platinum ticket.
694
00:31:37,937 --> 00:31:39,688
No bigger pop star in the '70s.
695
00:31:39,689 --> 00:31:43,650
No Black woman, beside Diana
with her cultural power,
696
00:31:43,651 --> 00:31:45,444
her crossover cachet.
697
00:31:45,445 --> 00:31:47,154
And she knew it.
698
00:31:47,155 --> 00:31:49,072
Came to me to cut my percentage.
699
00:31:49,073 --> 00:31:51,700
Once, then again and again.
700
00:31:51,701 --> 00:31:53,911
Natural progression
with most stars.
701
00:31:53,912 --> 00:31:57,789
But I hung in,
choked down every indignity.
702
00:31:57,790 --> 00:31:59,750
And do you know why?
703
00:31:59,751 --> 00:32:01,543
Because everyone
answered my call.
704
00:32:01,544 --> 00:32:03,587
Just hoping it'd be about Donna.
705
00:32:03,588 --> 00:32:05,839
It would've been worth it
to do the job for free
706
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,008
for that alone.
707
00:32:08,009 --> 00:32:09,843
No indignities
at Prince Capital.
708
00:32:09,844 --> 00:32:12,137
But unlike Donna,
the name is about to be
709
00:32:12,138 --> 00:32:13,889
a liability for me.
710
00:32:13,890 --> 00:32:16,224
You don't want to be frozen out.
711
00:32:16,225 --> 00:32:17,768
I get it.
712
00:32:17,769 --> 00:32:20,646
But how cold are you going
to feel in the wilderness?
713
00:32:20,647 --> 00:32:25,151
In the dead of winter?
When your calls go unanswered?
714
00:32:33,076 --> 00:32:36,036
Surprise, surprise.
We've got a Russia problem.
715
00:32:36,037 --> 00:32:37,079
Hmm. Oh!
716
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,332
[Chuck] Apparently,
it's going around.
717
00:32:40,333 --> 00:32:42,834
Chuck. My friends in DC
718
00:32:42,835 --> 00:32:45,003
tell me you're trying
to bring Grigor Andolov
719
00:32:45,004 --> 00:32:47,089
in as some bullshit witness.
720
00:32:47,090 --> 00:32:48,632
Are you fucking crazy?
721
00:32:48,633 --> 00:32:51,134
How's the country better off
with that droog in it?
722
00:32:51,135 --> 00:32:52,970
Uh, let's reframe that.
723
00:32:52,971 --> 00:32:56,098
How many tens of millions of
dollars do you stand to lose
724
00:32:56,099 --> 00:32:57,933
if he can contest
his divorce action?
725
00:32:57,934 --> 00:33:00,560
Mm. You should know better
than to mock the crime
726
00:33:00,561 --> 00:33:02,145
- of spousal abandonment.
- [chuckles]
727
00:33:02,146 --> 00:33:03,605
Or the stigma and isolation?
728
00:33:03,606 --> 00:33:05,482
The inability
to plan one's future?
729
00:33:05,483 --> 00:33:08,026
A woman's emotions
torn fucking asunder.
730
00:33:08,027 --> 00:33:09,194
[Chuck] Ohh...
731
00:33:09,195 --> 00:33:11,029
You're not just bankrolling her.
732
00:33:11,030 --> 00:33:13,241
You're sleeping with her.
733
00:33:14,075 --> 00:33:15,784
- [Krakow] Okay, look...
- [chuckles]
734
00:33:15,785 --> 00:33:18,245
[Krakow]
It started off all business,
735
00:33:18,246 --> 00:33:20,580
but Oksana is
a very soulful woman.
736
00:33:20,581 --> 00:33:22,791
She's been through a lot.
[inhales]
737
00:33:22,792 --> 00:33:24,292
The heart wants
what the heart wants.
738
00:33:24,293 --> 00:33:27,254
So does the DOJ,
and we need the guy here.
739
00:33:27,255 --> 00:33:29,089
Then I may need
to align with forces
740
00:33:29,090 --> 00:33:31,049
whose interests run
counter to yours.
741
00:33:31,050 --> 00:33:33,260
- In a big fucking way.
- [Chuck snickers]
742
00:33:33,261 --> 00:33:36,514
And I never do my enemies
minor boo-boos, Chuck.
743
00:33:40,727 --> 00:33:43,937
Keep up that watered-down
Machiavelli shit with me,
744
00:33:43,938 --> 00:33:46,273
the feds will be
a far more pressing problem
745
00:33:46,274 --> 00:33:48,525
than some foreign actor.
746
00:33:48,526 --> 00:33:50,861
You better not mess
with that divorce proceeding.
747
00:33:50,862 --> 00:33:53,321
Oh, that one's all yours.
748
00:33:53,322 --> 00:33:55,073
[scoffs]
749
00:33:55,074 --> 00:33:57,284
[Chuck snickers]
750
00:33:57,285 --> 00:33:58,869
[Ira]
He's not the only grouser.
751
00:33:58,870 --> 00:34:00,454
I just heard from DeGiulio.
752
00:34:00,455 --> 00:34:03,040
He got the request to parole
Grigor back into the States?
753
00:34:03,041 --> 00:34:04,666
Wants to discuss it in person.
754
00:34:04,667 --> 00:34:06,877
Along with your old pals
Governor Sweeney
755
00:34:06,878 --> 00:34:08,670
and Attorney General Mahar.
756
00:34:08,671 --> 00:34:09,921
The three of them together.
757
00:34:09,922 --> 00:34:11,715
[Ira] When they come at you
as a three man,
758
00:34:11,716 --> 00:34:14,009
think chair shot,
not rubber stamp.
759
00:34:14,010 --> 00:34:16,678
My ink pad's at the ready.
760
00:34:16,679 --> 00:34:20,766
Chuck, is it really worth
choosing Grigor over Krakow
761
00:34:20,767 --> 00:34:23,018
and not one,
but two levels of government?
762
00:34:23,019 --> 00:34:24,394
To please this guy
of all people.
763
00:34:24,395 --> 00:34:25,896
I mean, what's he ever
done for you...
764
00:34:25,897 --> 00:34:26,980
Hm.
765
00:34:26,981 --> 00:34:28,899
Except wear you out
and haunt your days?
766
00:34:28,900 --> 00:34:32,861
No, this is
the vaunted Bobby Axelrod,
767
00:34:32,862 --> 00:34:35,030
mover of markets,
768
00:34:35,031 --> 00:34:37,783
puller of levers.
769
00:34:37,784 --> 00:34:41,161
And he needed me.
[scoffs]
770
00:34:41,162 --> 00:34:45,207
Called me. Had to ask me
for a personal favor.
771
00:34:45,208 --> 00:34:48,086
Offered to be in my debt.
772
00:34:50,004 --> 00:34:54,132
Sure, I wanted to say no,
almost did. But...
773
00:34:54,133 --> 00:34:56,051
Well, that's too rare
and valuable
774
00:34:56,052 --> 00:34:58,137
a commodity these days.
775
00:34:59,430 --> 00:35:02,475
Especially from one
who knows what it means.
776
00:35:03,768 --> 00:35:06,728
Well, that is more old school
than Sammy Davis Jr.
777
00:35:06,729 --> 00:35:08,773
Tapping with
the Will Mastin Trio.
778
00:35:19,534 --> 00:35:20,909
I lead from the front.
779
00:35:20,910 --> 00:35:23,036
I do everything I ask
of those under my command
780
00:35:23,037 --> 00:35:24,746
and not from
a goddamn swivel chair.
781
00:35:24,747 --> 00:35:27,290
The difference between you
and General Patton?
782
00:35:27,291 --> 00:35:29,709
He didn't ask for
his employee's criticism.
783
00:35:29,710 --> 00:35:31,169
He just slapped them
in the face.
784
00:35:31,170 --> 00:35:32,838
Criticism informs, elucidates.
785
00:35:32,839 --> 00:35:34,507
This was insubordination.
786
00:35:35,424 --> 00:35:37,342
Maybe Luke was right...
Maybe you weren't ready
787
00:35:37,343 --> 00:35:39,177
for the full fire hose.
788
00:35:39,178 --> 00:35:42,597
My own people think
that they can lie to me,
789
00:35:42,598 --> 00:35:44,225
mock me.
790
00:35:45,518 --> 00:35:46,977
Plus, Sacker's leaving,
791
00:35:46,978 --> 00:35:48,562
planning on
"distancing herself"?
792
00:35:48,563 --> 00:35:49,938
We were cruising along
793
00:35:49,939 --> 00:35:51,439
at flank speed before all this.
794
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,400
Mm. The presidential.
795
00:35:53,401 --> 00:35:55,485
When did I become Lex Luthor?
796
00:35:55,486 --> 00:35:57,070
Anytime somebody
runs for office,
797
00:35:57,071 --> 00:35:59,531
they either become Superman
or that other thing.
798
00:35:59,532 --> 00:36:00,907
I didn't change.
799
00:36:00,908 --> 00:36:02,742
Everybody looks at you
through different eyes now,
800
00:36:02,743 --> 00:36:05,871
but that doesn't matter.
What matters is this:
801
00:36:05,872 --> 00:36:08,123
There's nothing wrong
with deciding you want
802
00:36:08,124 --> 00:36:10,000
the unvarnished,
unquestioned love.
803
00:36:10,001 --> 00:36:13,838
In fact, that may be
the most healthy choice.
804
00:36:18,217 --> 00:36:20,720
Sometimes quitting
isn't capitulation.
805
00:36:22,346 --> 00:36:26,017
Sometimes it shows grit
and wisdom.
806
00:36:46,621 --> 00:36:48,206
[net swishes]
807
00:37:13,231 --> 00:37:14,190
Scooter called you?
808
00:37:14,191 --> 00:37:15,815
[Andy]
He told me what happened.
809
00:37:15,816 --> 00:37:18,151
I know this is where you'd go.
810
00:37:18,152 --> 00:37:19,444
Well, it used to actually work.
811
00:37:19,445 --> 00:37:20,987
Now I feel the chill
in this room, too.
812
00:37:20,988 --> 00:37:23,114
Well, too warm
and you slip on the court.
813
00:37:23,115 --> 00:37:24,533
[scoffs]
814
00:37:27,036 --> 00:37:30,497
I used to feel the warmth
in every room I entered.
815
00:37:30,498 --> 00:37:32,123
Especially
Michael Prince Capital.
816
00:37:32,124 --> 00:37:33,458
Now it just seems like a lie.
817
00:37:33,459 --> 00:37:36,545
Those rooms were warm
because you paid them.
818
00:37:37,213 --> 00:37:39,297
I told myself I didn't care.
819
00:37:39,298 --> 00:37:42,217
But I thought the warmth
was real. Or I wanted to.
820
00:37:42,218 --> 00:37:43,885
[Andy] Then let's
talk court conditions.
821
00:37:43,886 --> 00:37:47,431
[sighs]
I was at Indiana A&M, too.
822
00:37:48,349 --> 00:37:49,516
My teammates loved me there.
823
00:37:49,517 --> 00:37:51,142
If we're really
taking inventory,
824
00:37:51,143 --> 00:37:52,519
some of them hated your guts.
825
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:55,021
Until they got to know me, maybe.
826
00:37:55,022 --> 00:37:56,022
No.
827
00:37:56,023 --> 00:37:58,358
Until you lead them
to some wins.
828
00:37:58,359 --> 00:38:00,444
Then they loved you.
829
00:38:03,364 --> 00:38:05,532
I just had to show them
I was all about the team.
830
00:38:05,533 --> 00:38:08,493
The team was all about you. Always.
831
00:38:08,494 --> 00:38:09,995
You always had the ball.
832
00:38:09,996 --> 00:38:11,955
You always made your shots
or dished it.
833
00:38:11,956 --> 00:38:14,708
They had to learn that
the path to glory
834
00:38:14,709 --> 00:38:17,043
ran through you.
835
00:38:17,044 --> 00:38:20,255
So I shouldn't worry about
seeking real love?
836
00:38:20,256 --> 00:38:24,175
I'm saying, the way to get it
is to be a winner.
837
00:38:24,176 --> 00:38:26,177
That's as real
as it fucking gets.
838
00:38:26,178 --> 00:38:29,597
Is that cold or superficial
or hollow?
839
00:38:29,598 --> 00:38:33,226
Well, that's the world
we're living in.
840
00:38:33,227 --> 00:38:36,063
And it's the one
you say you want to lead.
841
00:38:44,155 --> 00:38:46,239
[indistinct chatter]
842
00:38:46,240 --> 00:38:47,908
And he's fucking late.
843
00:38:49,410 --> 00:38:52,370
Quite the assemblage
for a pro forma parole request.
844
00:38:52,371 --> 00:38:55,040
Pro fucking forma?
Coddling a Russian criminal
845
00:38:55,041 --> 00:38:56,499
on the dawn of
a second Cold War.
846
00:38:56,500 --> 00:38:59,461
Last I saw you, Governor,
you were forcing me from office
847
00:38:59,462 --> 00:39:00,837
in a bloodless coup.
848
00:39:00,838 --> 00:39:02,672
I'd say cold wars
are your métier.
849
00:39:02,673 --> 00:39:04,841
Uh, Mr. Andolov has agreed
850
00:39:04,842 --> 00:39:06,926
to cooperate in a critical case.
851
00:39:06,927 --> 00:39:09,137
His safe passage
will be strictly limited...
852
00:39:09,138 --> 00:39:11,890
To rat-fucking me and my
biggest donor, Todd Krakow.
853
00:39:11,891 --> 00:39:14,517
[Daevisha] Chuck,
my office, your old office,
854
00:39:14,518 --> 00:39:17,354
you personally ran Grigor
out of this country.
855
00:39:17,355 --> 00:39:20,565
Surely, whatever grudge you hold
against the governor...
856
00:39:20,566 --> 00:39:23,318
Me? I'm all about
moving forward.
857
00:39:23,319 --> 00:39:25,153
This has to stop
at the water's edge.
858
00:39:25,154 --> 00:39:27,155
Let this fucker in and we're
going to look ridiculous.
859
00:39:27,156 --> 00:39:28,531
Like patsies. Like...
860
00:39:28,532 --> 00:39:30,617
Putin's got pee tapes
on the lot of us.
861
00:39:30,618 --> 00:39:33,578
I know better
than to try to stop you, Chuck.
862
00:39:33,579 --> 00:39:35,038
You will find a way over,
863
00:39:35,039 --> 00:39:36,289
you will find a way through.
864
00:39:36,290 --> 00:39:38,625
Used to be my modus, sure.
865
00:39:38,626 --> 00:39:40,794
I am appealing to you, though.
866
00:39:40,795 --> 00:39:42,253
Don't alienate us.
867
00:39:42,254 --> 00:39:43,963
And don't burn Todd Krakow
868
00:39:43,964 --> 00:39:45,715
and 50 other
political powerhouses
869
00:39:45,716 --> 00:39:47,550
in your first months back
at Southern.
870
00:39:47,551 --> 00:39:50,512
Don't make them your last.
871
00:39:50,513 --> 00:39:53,348
I used to believe in zero-sum...
872
00:39:53,349 --> 00:39:56,059
in choosing a side,
generally my own,
873
00:39:56,060 --> 00:39:57,602
and alienating all others.
874
00:39:57,603 --> 00:40:03,108
But this go-around, I see
that we can all be winners,
875
00:40:03,109 --> 00:40:05,068
all be friends.
876
00:40:05,069 --> 00:40:07,153
Why draw lines in the sand
877
00:40:07,154 --> 00:40:08,988
when we can build a castle?
878
00:40:08,989 --> 00:40:11,282
[scoffs]
Castles made of sand?
879
00:40:11,283 --> 00:40:14,828
You know, it's happened, Chuck.
You've lost your fucking mind.
880
00:40:14,829 --> 00:40:16,287
Maybe I just found it, Bob.
881
00:40:16,288 --> 00:40:19,417
Chuck,
in a known language, please.
882
00:40:20,334 --> 00:40:24,087
I'm talking about
telling our own story.
883
00:40:24,088 --> 00:40:27,173
A story in which we work
the emotional levers
884
00:40:27,174 --> 00:40:29,426
to all get
what we actually want.
885
00:40:29,427 --> 00:40:33,263
And how exactly do we reach
this promised land?
886
00:40:33,264 --> 00:40:38,309
My special advisor on this
will answer all your questions.
887
00:40:38,310 --> 00:40:41,605
You might say
he does it for a living.
888
00:40:42,523 --> 00:40:44,524
Time to play the game
889
00:40:44,525 --> 00:40:47,820
[heavy metal music
playing over phone speaker]
890
00:40:49,405 --> 00:40:52,533
[crowd cheering
over phone speaker]
891
00:40:54,702 --> 00:40:56,787
[singer cackles]
892
00:40:57,538 --> 00:40:59,164
[music ends]
893
00:40:59,165 --> 00:41:01,917
So, you found a good lawyer yet?
894
00:41:02,668 --> 00:41:03,668
Excuse me?
895
00:41:03,669 --> 00:41:05,462
[Chuck]
Your custody case.
896
00:41:05,463 --> 00:41:08,381
Oh, I know your prenup's
a fortress of steel,
897
00:41:08,382 --> 00:41:11,469
and that you're ready to crush.
898
00:41:12,303 --> 00:41:13,511
I'm short-listing litigators
899
00:41:13,512 --> 00:41:16,222
and still building out
my list of demands.
900
00:41:16,223 --> 00:41:17,808
Uh-huh.
901
00:41:18,476 --> 00:41:20,268
[Chuck Sr.]
Go ahead, son.
902
00:41:20,269 --> 00:41:21,769
I've known you
long enough to know
903
00:41:21,770 --> 00:41:23,438
when you've got a point to make.
904
00:41:23,439 --> 00:41:24,647
[chuckles]
Well...
905
00:41:24,648 --> 00:41:26,691
probably not one
that's welcome here, so...
906
00:41:26,692 --> 00:41:28,611
Out with it.
907
00:41:30,070 --> 00:41:34,782
No, it's just that I've noticed
that power is the ability
908
00:41:34,783 --> 00:41:36,743
to influence others,
909
00:41:36,744 --> 00:41:39,287
not dictate to them.
910
00:41:39,288 --> 00:41:43,751
True power is
not having to use it.
911
00:41:46,253 --> 00:41:49,130
Are you gonna flash
your history chops now
912
00:41:49,131 --> 00:41:52,300
and hold forth
on how the great emperors
913
00:41:52,301 --> 00:41:54,969
and cons were such
because they showed mercy?
914
00:41:54,970 --> 00:41:56,179
I'm not.
915
00:41:56,180 --> 00:41:58,473
We both know I'm talking
about your daughter.
916
00:41:58,474 --> 00:41:59,682
[Chuck Sr.] That's right.
917
00:41:59,683 --> 00:42:01,851
Now, she ought not be beholden
918
00:42:01,852 --> 00:42:03,478
to some made-up deity.
919
00:42:03,479 --> 00:42:07,107
When you'd rather have her
be beholden to you.
920
00:42:08,859 --> 00:42:10,610
Your way.
921
00:42:10,611 --> 00:42:12,153
You'll have her obedience
922
00:42:12,154 --> 00:42:15,698
and you'll have moments
of her affection...
923
00:42:15,699 --> 00:42:17,575
Uh, she's human, after all.
924
00:42:17,576 --> 00:42:22,288
And won't be able to escape
her inclination to love you,
925
00:42:22,289 --> 00:42:25,042
but she'll try.
926
00:42:26,252 --> 00:42:28,586
Oh, boy, how she'll try,
927
00:42:28,587 --> 00:42:32,174
if you run power games
on her and her mother.
928
00:42:34,468 --> 00:42:36,553
Domination...
929
00:42:36,554 --> 00:42:39,430
is an all-or-nothing
proposition.
930
00:42:39,431 --> 00:42:43,518
It does not work
if you carve out exemptions.
931
00:42:43,519 --> 00:42:45,520
What is it that
you're suggesting?
932
00:42:45,521 --> 00:42:49,108
Go on dominating
everyone else in your life.
933
00:42:49,900 --> 00:42:52,902
Put your stamp on things
and mark your turf.
934
00:42:52,903 --> 00:42:55,697
Yes, and go ahead
and show her that,
935
00:42:55,698 --> 00:42:57,740
when she's old enough
to apprehend it.
936
00:42:57,741 --> 00:43:01,161
But when it comes to her now...
937
00:43:02,288 --> 00:43:04,540
give her a sense of stability...
938
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:06,791
and self worth.
939
00:43:06,792 --> 00:43:11,672
Because that's where
true power comes from.
940
00:43:16,468 --> 00:43:18,428
Ease up.
941
00:43:18,429 --> 00:43:20,388
As a means of achieving
the same result.
942
00:43:20,389 --> 00:43:25,853
Actually, control them more
by seeming to cede it.
943
00:43:27,521 --> 00:43:29,148
Wouldn't have worked with you.
944
00:43:30,024 --> 00:43:31,357
Who's to say
945
00:43:31,358 --> 00:43:33,818
I may have needed the firm hand,
946
00:43:33,819 --> 00:43:35,987
but neither of these
women are me.
947
00:43:35,988 --> 00:43:37,447
Oh, that's for damn sure.
948
00:43:37,448 --> 00:43:39,574
[Chuck] It could spare
you a custody fight.
949
00:43:39,575 --> 00:43:42,744
You might even get
what's on that list of yours,
950
00:43:42,745 --> 00:43:44,203
and they'll never know
951
00:43:44,204 --> 00:43:47,625
they played right
into what you wanted.
952
00:43:54,006 --> 00:43:55,548
I like this plan.
953
00:43:55,549 --> 00:43:56,508
Hm.
954
00:43:56,509 --> 00:43:57,634
Some sense must have been
955
00:43:57,635 --> 00:43:59,552
whipped into you after all.
956
00:43:59,553 --> 00:44:02,097
That firm hand. Yep.
957
00:44:04,391 --> 00:44:06,602
Okay, sonny...
958
00:44:07,019 --> 00:44:08,519
I will try it your way.
959
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:10,147
[Chuck] Good.
960
00:44:11,065 --> 00:44:12,273
[Chuck clears throat]
961
00:44:12,274 --> 00:44:13,816
Continental style in this house,
962
00:44:13,817 --> 00:44:16,277
left hand, tines downward.
963
00:44:16,278 --> 00:44:19,323
This look like
Ruby fucking Tuesday to you?
964
00:44:31,126 --> 00:44:32,585
[Luke] Speech of his life.
965
00:44:32,586 --> 00:44:34,337
I cannot believe
he missed the run-through.
966
00:44:34,338 --> 00:44:35,880
[Scooter] Mike doesn't
need run-throughs.
967
00:44:35,881 --> 00:44:37,632
He's Africa/Brass-era Coltrane.
968
00:44:37,633 --> 00:44:40,301
- He finds it as he goes.
- Can you find it if it went?
969
00:44:40,302 --> 00:44:42,512
We're live on eight channels
in five minutes
970
00:44:42,513 --> 00:44:44,098
and he's not even here.
971
00:44:44,723 --> 00:44:46,015
[Bradford Luke]
There he is.
972
00:44:46,016 --> 00:44:49,143
[Prince] Who's ready
to turn this upside down?
973
00:44:49,144 --> 00:44:50,603
Didn't need a run-through.
974
00:44:50,604 --> 00:44:53,022
Any more than Jay-Z
needs to write down his lyrics.
975
00:44:53,023 --> 00:44:55,150
Just roll tape and let me go.
976
00:44:59,738 --> 00:45:01,364
Thank you.
977
00:45:01,365 --> 00:45:03,700
For not keeping me safe.
978
00:45:03,701 --> 00:45:04,826
In my bubble.
979
00:45:04,827 --> 00:45:06,786
The idea that I would
reassess my campaign,
980
00:45:06,787 --> 00:45:09,414
quit, because of a few grumblers
in the company...
981
00:45:09,415 --> 00:45:11,958
Well, I needed to hear that.
982
00:45:11,959 --> 00:45:15,545
I was a professional
boot in the ass.
983
00:45:15,546 --> 00:45:17,923
Finally saw what you were doing.
984
00:45:18,549 --> 00:45:21,926
The destiny, it's in me.
985
00:45:21,927 --> 00:45:25,179
I knew you'd put yourself
back together.
986
00:45:25,180 --> 00:45:26,724
Glad you did.
987
00:45:27,266 --> 00:45:29,059
[woman] Ready?
988
00:45:33,647 --> 00:45:34,814
I put him back together
989
00:45:34,815 --> 00:45:38,193
after you kicked the pieces
across the floor.
990
00:45:40,237 --> 00:45:42,448
[footsteps receding]
991
00:45:52,583 --> 00:45:54,292
I thought you were out the door.
992
00:45:54,293 --> 00:45:57,795
I'd like to stay at MPC
until my filing deadline.
993
00:45:57,796 --> 00:46:00,673
Then run as an independent
on Mike's ticket.
994
00:46:00,674 --> 00:46:02,925
Stay close to the resources,
the juice.
995
00:46:02,926 --> 00:46:05,344
If you're sure, I can get you
on a cutaway shot.
996
00:46:05,345 --> 00:46:08,139
I know it's a risk
taking on the party machinery.
997
00:46:08,140 --> 00:46:11,768
I'm not just going to be some
schmo out in the wilderness...
998
00:46:11,769 --> 00:46:13,687
in a run for Congress.
999
00:46:14,229 --> 00:46:16,481
We're live.
1000
00:46:16,482 --> 00:46:22,112
In five, four, three...
1001
00:46:30,329 --> 00:46:31,913
I'm Mike Prince.
1002
00:46:31,914 --> 00:46:34,040
If you only follow
the primaries,
1003
00:46:34,041 --> 00:46:35,583
you don't know me.
1004
00:46:35,584 --> 00:46:36,918
That's by design.
1005
00:46:36,919 --> 00:46:40,964
So the status quo can keep
a hold of your futures.
1006
00:46:41,673 --> 00:46:43,966
I bought this time
and it didn't come cheap
1007
00:46:43,967 --> 00:46:45,927
because I'm my own man.
1008
00:46:45,928 --> 00:46:47,929
And because we need
to have a hard conversation
1009
00:46:47,930 --> 00:46:52,893
about why both parties,
and our system, are broken.
1010
00:46:53,769 --> 00:46:56,145
This is about the inventory
we all need to take
1011
00:46:56,146 --> 00:46:58,606
in order to get
where we're going,
1012
00:46:58,607 --> 00:47:01,360
even if we don't
always like what we see.
1013
00:47:06,824 --> 00:47:08,492
[door closes]
1014
00:47:14,915 --> 00:47:16,749
[Krakow] Grigor.
1015
00:47:16,750 --> 00:47:19,377
Buddy, you're back.
1016
00:47:19,378 --> 00:47:22,797
You are surprised
to see me here?
1017
00:47:22,798 --> 00:47:25,883
I'm surprised
to see you here as well,
1018
00:47:25,884 --> 00:47:27,927
since four of
the last five nights,
1019
00:47:27,928 --> 00:47:32,473
you've been spotted outside
Oksana's penthouse.
1020
00:47:32,474 --> 00:47:34,809
My penthouse, not your own.
1021
00:47:34,810 --> 00:47:37,228
She's been distraught
in your absence.
1022
00:47:37,229 --> 00:47:38,771
I've tried to counsel her.
1023
00:47:38,772 --> 00:47:41,440
Tell her to, you know, hang in.
1024
00:47:41,441 --> 00:47:44,944
This is why I brought you
a special gift.
1025
00:47:44,945 --> 00:47:47,488
You should open it now.
1026
00:47:47,489 --> 00:47:52,660
Might come in handy
in case you need to "hang in."
1027
00:47:52,661 --> 00:47:57,248
My friend Christian
designed them personally.
1028
00:47:57,249 --> 00:47:59,041
Gossamer wings.
1029
00:47:59,042 --> 00:48:02,795
Now, I cannot tell you
if they support flights,
1030
00:48:02,796 --> 00:48:06,007
since I didn't test them
myself, but...
1031
00:48:06,008 --> 00:48:09,802
Since you live
on the 29th floor,
1032
00:48:09,803 --> 00:48:14,390
maybe you would
like to be the test pilot.
1033
00:48:14,391 --> 00:48:17,602
You could have sent this
message in so many ways,
1034
00:48:17,603 --> 00:48:19,437
without coming to New York.
1035
00:48:19,438 --> 00:48:23,190
What fucking fun would there be
in letting someone else
1036
00:48:23,191 --> 00:48:25,776
throw you out the window?
1037
00:48:25,777 --> 00:48:28,696
I swear, Oksana and I
are just friends.
1038
00:48:28,697 --> 00:48:29,906
W-we're not even friends.
1039
00:48:29,907 --> 00:48:31,949
It was just a... a mere
business arrangement...
1040
00:48:31,950 --> 00:48:35,995
But you spent so many months
in her company.
1041
00:48:35,996 --> 00:48:37,622
I'll never see her again.
1042
00:48:37,623 --> 00:48:39,040
I'll stop funding
the divorce action.
1043
00:48:39,041 --> 00:48:41,792
In fact, I'll end it
with one fucking phone call.
1044
00:48:41,793 --> 00:48:44,922
It's hard to argue
abandonment now anyway.
1045
00:48:45,422 --> 00:48:47,590
This is good news.
1046
00:48:47,591 --> 00:48:51,719
It clears the way
for my own divorce suit...
1047
00:48:51,720 --> 00:48:54,890
on grounds of adultery.
1048
00:48:57,309 --> 00:48:58,977
Thank you.
1049
00:49:15,744 --> 00:49:17,287
[sighs]
1050
00:49:22,751 --> 00:49:28,298
My business is concluded.
Now, yours can begin.
1051
00:49:29,257 --> 00:49:31,175
It's quite a favor
Axe granted you.
1052
00:49:31,176 --> 00:49:33,344
And that you granted him.
1053
00:49:33,345 --> 00:49:34,972
[dry chuckle]
1054
00:49:35,889 --> 00:49:38,265
How the hell did you two
become friends again,
1055
00:49:38,266 --> 00:49:39,976
after what he did to you?
1056
00:49:39,977 --> 00:49:42,979
Well, one has
the greatest respect
1057
00:49:42,980 --> 00:49:45,773
for one's fiercest adversary.
1058
00:49:45,774 --> 00:49:50,696
Who else believes so strongly
in your abilities?
1059
00:49:52,155 --> 00:49:55,241
Well, it's time.
You ready to do the turn?
1060
00:49:55,242 --> 00:49:58,495
Like Andre in '87.
1061
00:50:04,292 --> 00:50:06,670
[engine starts]
1062
00:50:27,065 --> 00:50:29,026
[police sirens chirp]
1063
00:50:30,318 --> 00:50:32,779
[sirens blaring]
1064
00:50:34,489 --> 00:50:36,366
[sirens stop]
1065
00:50:37,075 --> 00:50:39,411
[indistinct chatter]
1066
00:50:43,081 --> 00:50:45,374
Let's go. Out of the car.
1067
00:50:45,375 --> 00:50:48,878
You have no authority over me.
1068
00:50:48,879 --> 00:50:50,629
I am a sovereign citizen.
1069
00:50:50,630 --> 00:50:54,967
I reject the right of the
United States to detain me,
1070
00:50:54,968 --> 00:50:57,720
or to compel my testimony.
1071
00:50:57,721 --> 00:51:01,474
I am a citizen
of the greatest nation
1072
00:51:01,475 --> 00:51:05,936
in the history of the world,
led by the greatest leader.
1073
00:51:05,937 --> 00:51:10,024
So fuck you and fuck America.
1074
00:51:10,025 --> 00:51:12,735
[crowd murmuring]
1075
00:51:12,736 --> 00:51:14,111
[Sweeney clears throat]
1076
00:51:14,112 --> 00:51:16,155
Mr. Andolov
was here to testify
1077
00:51:16,156 --> 00:51:18,324
in a federal case,
to work with us.
1078
00:51:18,325 --> 00:51:20,576
However, he took that
opportunity to try and steal
1079
00:51:20,577 --> 00:51:23,329
sensitive military technology
for his country.
1080
00:51:23,330 --> 00:51:25,706
Now, upon receiving
this intel, I handed it off
1081
00:51:25,707 --> 00:51:28,542
to federal law enforcement
for coordinated action.
1082
00:51:28,543 --> 00:51:29,877
Chuck.
1083
00:51:29,878 --> 00:51:31,545
[sighs]
1084
00:51:31,546 --> 00:51:32,880
As U.S. Attorney,
1085
00:51:32,881 --> 00:51:34,757
I realized that this was
1086
00:51:34,758 --> 00:51:36,258
a complex federal matter,
1087
00:51:36,259 --> 00:51:40,304
so I contacted Solicitor General
DeGiulio and the DOJ.
1088
00:51:40,305 --> 00:51:43,015
[camera shutters clicking]
1089
00:51:43,016 --> 00:51:45,768
Main Justice saw the critical
nature of this case
1090
00:51:45,769 --> 00:51:48,605
on New York
and included the state AG.
1091
00:51:51,358 --> 00:51:54,652
Using state police
and undercover operatives,
1092
00:51:54,653 --> 00:51:58,864
we conducted a sting operation
and interdicted Mr. Andolov
1093
00:51:58,865 --> 00:52:01,283
before any secrets
could be stolen.
1094
00:52:01,284 --> 00:52:02,743
As you can see in the video,
1095
00:52:02,744 --> 00:52:04,829
his true sentiments
came to light.
1096
00:52:04,830 --> 00:52:07,039
He will be deported immediately.
1097
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:08,916
It is a bad day for the Kremlin,
1098
00:52:08,917 --> 00:52:11,544
a good day for justice
around the world.
1099
00:52:11,545 --> 00:52:12,962
Questions?
1100
00:52:12,963 --> 00:52:15,339
[reporters clamoring]
1101
00:52:15,340 --> 00:52:17,258
[woman] What about the risk
of rolling an old criminal
1102
00:52:17,259 --> 00:52:20,302
like Mr. Andolov into the U.S.
in the first place?
1103
00:52:20,303 --> 00:52:22,639
[Daevisha]
He was poised to have...
1104
00:52:23,473 --> 00:52:25,015
Wow...
1105
00:52:25,016 --> 00:52:26,934
He swoops in, kills my play,
1106
00:52:26,935 --> 00:52:28,185
does a heel turn here.
1107
00:52:28,186 --> 00:52:30,271
He's rehabbed in Russia,
a hero to the Kremlin,
1108
00:52:30,272 --> 00:52:32,106
quashing those rumors
that he helped Ukraine.
1109
00:52:32,107 --> 00:52:33,149
Mm.
1110
00:52:33,150 --> 00:52:34,441
You guys are all
champions of the city.
1111
00:52:34,442 --> 00:52:36,485
- Ah.
- It's quite a work you put on.
1112
00:52:36,486 --> 00:52:39,280
Mm-hmm.
Except for the part with you.
1113
00:52:39,281 --> 00:52:41,365
- That was a shoot.
- Hm.
1114
00:52:41,366 --> 00:52:43,117
Fuck. You weren't in on that?
1115
00:52:43,118 --> 00:52:44,201
No, real.
1116
00:52:44,202 --> 00:52:46,912
Only way I see it,
everything he said stands.
1117
00:52:46,913 --> 00:52:51,041
He'll now have Moscow's full
backing to do whatever he wants,
1118
00:52:51,042 --> 00:52:52,126
wherever he wants.
1119
00:52:52,127 --> 00:52:54,336
- [reporters clamoring]
- Long arms.
1120
00:52:54,337 --> 00:52:56,505
One warning was enough.
1121
00:52:56,506 --> 00:52:58,382
That and those fucking wings.
1122
00:52:58,383 --> 00:53:01,136
[Daevisha] We cooperate...
1123
00:53:02,137 --> 00:53:03,220
[door closes]
1124
00:53:03,221 --> 00:53:05,598
The dial groups
we ran during the speech...
1125
00:53:05,599 --> 00:53:07,057
Spiked the whole time.
1126
00:53:07,058 --> 00:53:08,434
I've never seen
anything like it.
1127
00:53:08,435 --> 00:53:10,686
Mike is trending
on every platform.
1128
00:53:10,687 --> 00:53:12,980
Pundits on both sides
are calling it a major victory.
1129
00:53:12,981 --> 00:53:16,275
Calling me for jobs, too.
My phone's blowing up.
1130
00:53:16,276 --> 00:53:17,318
All this coverage,
1131
00:53:17,319 --> 00:53:19,236
- you couldn't buy it.
- But he did.
1132
00:53:19,237 --> 00:53:20,779
[Scooter]
"Rising above the smallness
1133
00:53:20,780 --> 00:53:22,740
and negativity
of the primaries."
1134
00:53:22,741 --> 00:53:25,409
"Owning primetime,
because he can. Literally."
1135
00:53:25,410 --> 00:53:27,203
Mike wants to do
one of these every month.
1136
00:53:27,204 --> 00:53:30,415
Draw up a check,
I'll draw up a plan.
1137
00:53:38,632 --> 00:53:41,091
I owe you an apology.
1138
00:53:41,092 --> 00:53:42,927
We both had our points of view.
1139
00:53:42,928 --> 00:53:44,261
I had my own agenda.
1140
00:53:44,262 --> 00:53:46,180
Keeping control of the campaign.
1141
00:53:46,181 --> 00:53:48,140
You just served Mike.
1142
00:53:48,141 --> 00:53:50,310
No wonder he trusts you so much.
1143
00:53:53,188 --> 00:53:55,022
[reporter over video]
It's the kind of speech
1144
00:53:55,023 --> 00:53:56,398
no politician ever gives.
1145
00:53:56,399 --> 00:53:59,068
Because they can't afford to.
In more ways than one.
1146
00:53:59,069 --> 00:54:02,154
That alone gives Michael Prince
the edge tonight,
1147
00:54:02,155 --> 00:54:04,907
a true independent,
storming the gates...
1148

by PJ Harvey playing]

It's done.
1151
00:54:20,423 --> 00:54:23,884
I saw. Thanks.
1152
00:54:23,885 --> 00:54:26,136
No, I should be thanking you.
1153
00:54:26,137 --> 00:54:28,013
For making me better. Sharper.
1154
00:54:28,014 --> 00:54:31,934
For raising the level of play,
as you always have.
1155
00:54:31,935 --> 00:54:33,394
I can't say I wish
I was back there
1156
00:54:33,395 --> 00:54:35,187
- slugging it out with you.
- Mm-hmm.
1157
00:54:35,188 --> 00:54:37,273
- We went enough rounds.
- Yeah.
1158
00:54:37,274 --> 00:54:39,608
Took me some time to realize,
that was reason enough
1159
00:54:39,609 --> 00:54:41,318
to help you from the start.

will definitely come,

to repay this debt.

you won't come up short.
