00:08:41,434 --> 00:08:44,104
is for her to publicly
declare she's with you.
175
00:08:45,188 --> 00:08:47,732
I need the investment
stuff here resolved first.
176
00:08:47,774 --> 00:08:50,944
But, uh, I get that you're
jonesing pretty hard over this,
177
00:08:50,985 --> 00:08:52,529
- so lay it out.
- Okay.
178
00:08:52,570 --> 00:08:54,197
First of all, she's in New York.
179
00:08:54,239 --> 00:08:55,407
And if you win her over,
180
00:08:55,448 --> 00:08:57,117
Dunlop turns her
organization over to us.
181
00:08:57,761 --> 00:08:59,746
That means her field
operatives around the country
182
00:08:59,781 --> 00:09:01,158
and the voter data.
183
00:09:01,193 --> 00:09:03,981
We get Montana and likely
the other Western states.
184
00:09:04,023 --> 00:09:07,276
This is the leading Democrat
giving you her troops
185
00:09:07,318 --> 00:09:08,528
and her endorsement.
186
00:09:08,569 --> 00:09:10,530
Email lists, donor lists,
187
00:09:10,571 --> 00:09:11,989
dark money orgs, links to unions,
188
00:09:12,031 --> 00:09:13,616
lefty groups, grassroots.
189
00:09:13,658 --> 00:09:14,926
The keys to the whole candy store.
190
00:09:14,968 --> 00:09:17,595
That's right. We wouldn't have
to build and stock our own.
191
00:09:17,637 --> 00:09:18,888
And once you have all that,
192
00:09:18,930 --> 00:09:21,141
you are the presumptive candidate.
193
00:09:21,182 --> 00:09:22,475
The front-runner.
194
00:09:22,517 --> 00:09:24,102
The presidential
intelligence briefings start,
195
00:09:24,144 --> 00:09:26,312
which will make you,
for all intents and purposes,
196
00:09:26,354 --> 00:09:27,522
the heir apparent.
197
00:09:27,564 --> 00:09:29,023
First time in the modern age
198
00:09:29,065 --> 00:09:32,193
an independent candidate
would be in that perch.
199
00:09:33,111 --> 00:09:34,404
I get it.
200
00:09:34,446 --> 00:09:36,406
Book her for dinner,
but I'm not doing anything
201
00:09:36,448 --> 00:09:38,742
until the money is taken care of here.
202
00:09:49,377 --> 00:09:50,628
I'll say this for you, Axe.
203
00:09:50,670 --> 00:09:53,131
You trained Dollar Bill and Victor well.
204
00:09:53,173 --> 00:09:54,758
They did the right thing,
205
00:09:54,799 --> 00:09:56,968
like Henry Hill after
the Air France heist.
206
00:09:57,010 --> 00:10:00,472
They paid tribute. They kicked up.
207
00:10:01,023 --> 00:10:02,766
The important thing is we said no.
208
00:10:03,331 --> 00:10:05,185
Unequivocally. To Axe.
209
00:10:06,394 --> 00:10:07,687
We hardly even heard him out.
210
00:10:07,729 --> 00:10:10,774
Axe approached you, you rebuffed him.
This is the thing?
211
00:10:10,815 --> 00:10:12,442
- His proxy, yes.
- Taylor.
212
00:10:13,236 --> 00:10:15,361
Way we figure it, this is
the rocket ship we want to be on.
213
00:10:15,403 --> 00:10:16,738
And they came right to me.
214
00:10:16,780 --> 00:10:18,364
Didn't waffle. Didn't evade.
215
00:10:18,406 --> 00:10:20,116
Didn't make us go to them.
Same with Rian.
216
00:10:20,158 --> 00:10:21,326
She emailed, though,
217
00:10:21,367 --> 00:10:23,036
said she's not in a talking mood.
218
00:10:29,876 --> 00:10:32,128
Good. These are the trusteds.
219
00:10:32,170 --> 00:10:33,296
You all are.
220
00:10:33,338 --> 00:10:34,881
So start finding me base hit trades.
221
00:10:34,923 --> 00:10:37,842
Singles and doubles only,
with predefined exits.
222
00:10:37,884 --> 00:10:40,470
When we go back in,
it'll be a big, concerted move.
223
00:10:40,512 --> 00:10:42,013
Only moves worth making.
224
00:10:42,055 --> 00:10:44,352
I've got some ideas,
stuff I'm looking at.
225
00:10:44,387 --> 00:10:45,901
- We start with...
- [PRINCE] But not yet.
226
00:10:45,936 --> 00:10:47,852
Not until I'm bulletproof.
227
00:10:49,020 --> 00:10:51,272
Prepare. But don't act.
228
00:11:02,534 --> 00:11:04,661
How come you two
didn't run to me or Philip?
229
00:11:06,955 --> 00:11:11,501
Uh, these... these two
are good guys and good earners.
230
00:11:11,543 --> 00:11:14,170
And they weren't even there.
Didn't go see him.
231
00:11:16,381 --> 00:11:18,716
- It's true what he says.
- But they were invited.
232
00:11:18,758 --> 00:11:20,552
You were, weren't you?
233
00:11:21,970 --> 00:11:23,179
You were touched,
234
00:11:23,221 --> 00:11:25,932
invited to go hear
a pitch from Axe Global.
235
00:11:27,767 --> 00:11:29,310
You didn't report it.
236
00:11:30,395 --> 00:11:31,813
We also didn't go.
237
00:11:31,855 --> 00:11:33,523
As Dollar Bill said.
238
00:11:33,565 --> 00:11:34,983
Because your feelings ran so deep
239
00:11:35,024 --> 00:11:36,484
you couldn't bear passing in person?
240
00:11:36,526 --> 00:11:38,611
You knew if you looked
upon him you would submit.
241
00:11:38,653 --> 00:11:40,655
Is that right?
242
00:11:42,198 --> 00:11:45,368
- Sounds right.
- I said it, so, yeah.
243
00:11:46,786 --> 00:11:48,162
It is.
244
00:11:52,250 --> 00:11:53,960
But we didn't go.
245
00:11:54,002 --> 00:11:56,337
We're not the bad guys here.
246
00:11:56,379 --> 00:11:58,548
Nope. You're not.
247
00:12:01,009 --> 00:12:02,218
But so what?
248
00:12:02,260 --> 00:12:05,054
Good guys, good earners.
Go join a 4H club.
249
00:12:05,096 --> 00:12:07,432
I'll find more. You're both fired.
250
00:12:08,516 --> 00:12:09,851
What the fuck?
251
00:12:09,893 --> 00:12:11,686
These emotions you have
can be played in ways
252
00:12:11,728 --> 00:12:13,062
you aren't even gonna be aware of.
253
00:12:13,104 --> 00:12:16,441
You're a risk to me. Or were. Goodbye.
254
00:12:43,611 --> 00:12:46,512
You understand why Prince
had to let Ben Kim and Tuk go.
255
00:12:46,554 --> 00:12:48,932
I understood what the man said.
256
00:12:48,973 --> 00:12:50,391
Is that how you would have handled it?
257
00:12:50,433 --> 00:12:51,601
I don't know,
258
00:12:51,643 --> 00:12:53,186
but I saw the logic of it instantly.
259
00:12:54,145 --> 00:12:55,605
Do you ever disagree?
260
00:12:56,564 --> 00:12:57,732
If you do, does he listen?
261
00:12:58,419 --> 00:13:00,959
We communicate all day long
in ways verbal and otherwise.
262
00:13:00,994 --> 00:13:03,738
- He knows where I stand.
- And that'll carry over to Washington?
263
00:13:03,780 --> 00:13:05,657
- That's the plan.
- You're good with that?
264
00:13:05,698 --> 00:13:07,742
You see him in the chair?
265
00:13:07,784 --> 00:13:09,243
You have doubts?
266
00:13:09,285 --> 00:13:12,330
No. I just like him here,
steering this big boy of a ship.
267
00:13:12,988 --> 00:13:15,129
You will still feel his
steady hand on the rudder
268
00:13:15,164 --> 00:13:17,585
whenever you fear you
might lose control of it.
269
00:13:17,627 --> 00:13:18,836
But you won't need that.
270
00:13:18,878 --> 00:13:20,838
By then, you will be fully ready.
271
00:13:21,714 --> 00:13:23,091
Yes, sir.
272
00:13:24,092 --> 00:13:25,301
That's how you feel, isn't it?
273
00:13:25,343 --> 00:13:26,844
Solid with all this right now?
274
00:13:26,886 --> 00:13:29,013
As a slab of Carrara marble, Unc.
275
00:13:29,055 --> 00:13:31,224
And you can get done what you need to
276
00:13:31,265 --> 00:13:33,017
with the personnel
left at your disposal?
277
00:13:33,059 --> 00:13:34,352
Not a problem.
278
00:13:34,394 --> 00:13:35,770
Good.
279
00:13:41,651 --> 00:13:42,819
[SCOFFS]
280
00:13:42,860 --> 00:13:44,904
[PRINCE] Sadly, your move to hire back
281
00:13:44,946 --> 00:13:46,864
your people out from under me failed,
282
00:13:46,906 --> 00:13:48,700
like nearly everything
you've tried lately.
283
00:13:48,741 --> 00:13:51,411
Not everything, Mike, huh?
284
00:13:55,331 --> 00:13:56,749
Where you headed?
285
00:13:58,167 --> 00:14:00,050
Call me for the next campaign event.
286
00:14:00,085 --> 00:14:01,504
I'll live up to my end of the agreement.
287
00:14:01,546 --> 00:14:03,631
Till then,
I'll be bouldering in the 'Gunks.
288
00:14:03,673 --> 00:14:05,383
With Derek?
289
00:14:06,884 --> 00:14:08,594
Now you're not talking?
290
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,389
Don't, Mike.
291
00:14:12,419 --> 00:14:13,919
We're don't ask, don't tell again?
292
00:14:13,954 --> 00:14:15,852
We agreed to pause the
arrangement during the campaign.
293
00:14:16,575 --> 00:14:19,564
That agreement got overridden
by certain other actions.
294
00:14:21,649 --> 00:14:23,484
Tell me I'm wrong.
295
00:14:24,485 --> 00:14:26,696
This can be used against me.
296
00:14:27,319 --> 00:14:29,063
It has been.
297
00:14:29,098 --> 00:14:31,825
Which raises the question
of who did what first?
298
00:14:32,952 --> 00:14:34,954
Not a question I'm interested in.
299
00:14:35,830 --> 00:14:37,290
So I'm going off the grid.
300
00:14:38,166 --> 00:14:40,043
Nothing will be known,
nothing will be raised,
301
00:14:40,084 --> 00:14:42,462
nothing will be written.
302
00:14:42,503 --> 00:14:44,464
I'm just gonna go do my thing,
303
00:14:44,505 --> 00:14:47,091
while you continue to do yours.
304
00:14:47,967 --> 00:14:49,343
As always.
305
00:14:57,310 --> 00:14:58,770
Derek sent a picture.
306
00:15:00,313 --> 00:15:01,773
Big rocks.
307
00:15:02,384 --> 00:15:03,816
Don't get too excited.
308
00:15:03,858 --> 00:15:05,485
I kept my focus on business.
309
00:15:05,526 --> 00:15:07,487
There's a matter
I need to read you in on.
310
00:15:07,528 --> 00:15:11,157
But first, did you handle
the prior matter? Winston?
311
00:15:14,243 --> 00:15:17,080
"Bring me my Bow of burning gold:
312
00:15:18,206 --> 00:15:21,209
"Bring me my Arrows of desire:
313
00:15:21,250 --> 00:15:23,544
"Bring me my Spear:
314
00:15:23,586 --> 00:15:25,838
"O clouds unfold!
315
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,217
Bring me my Chariot of fire!"
316
00:15:30,343 --> 00:15:32,804
Do I need a bow, a spear, a chariot?
317
00:15:32,845 --> 00:15:36,432
Nay, we just need your algorithm.
318
00:15:36,474 --> 00:15:40,770
You know, ChatGPT-4 can adjust
the tone of the words it uses
319
00:15:40,812 --> 00:15:42,897
to meet the vernacular
of the questioner.
320
00:15:42,939 --> 00:15:44,857
Some humans can do the same.
321
00:15:44,899 --> 00:15:46,609
Let me try.
322
00:15:46,651 --> 00:15:49,320
Reviewing contents of entire Internet.
323
00:15:49,362 --> 00:15:51,781
Matching your inane turn of phrase.
324
00:15:51,823 --> 00:15:54,033
And, yes, locked in.
325
00:15:54,075 --> 00:15:55,785
Let's try this:
326
00:15:55,827 --> 00:15:57,912
"So you ride yourselves over the fields
327
00:15:57,954 --> 00:16:00,706
"and you make all your animal deals,
328
00:16:00,748 --> 00:16:04,127
"and your wise men
don't know how it feels
329
00:16:04,168 --> 00:16:06,712
to be thick as a brick."
330
00:16:07,463 --> 00:16:08,714
Yeah, that works.
331
00:16:08,756 --> 00:16:10,758
Ah, the Tull.
332
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,803
Love it, love it, loave it.
333
00:16:13,845 --> 00:16:15,888
Thick as a brick.
334
00:16:15,930 --> 00:16:17,515
Hard no on that.
335
00:16:17,557 --> 00:16:19,267
I can set an after-school
playdate for you two
336
00:16:19,308 --> 00:16:21,185
to continue along these engaging lines,
but first...
337
00:16:21,227 --> 00:16:23,229
What I'm pointing out is
he must be thick as a brick
338
00:16:23,271 --> 00:16:26,566
to ask for what he and you
and this place already have:
339
00:16:26,607 --> 00:16:27,733
my algo.
340
00:16:27,775 --> 00:16:28,901
No, I got it,
341
00:16:28,943 --> 00:16:30,444
but what we need specifically
342
00:16:30,486 --> 00:16:33,614
is for you to reset the
parameters on the risk algo.
343
00:16:33,656 --> 00:16:36,450
Dial back profit as prime
objective temporarily
344
00:16:36,492 --> 00:16:38,411
in order to really protect downside.
345
00:16:38,452 --> 00:16:41,414
Yeah, that kind of adjustment
is not in the deal.
346
00:16:41,455 --> 00:16:44,333
The spirit of the arrangement
we made, Winston, should...
347
00:16:44,375 --> 00:16:45,918
I'm more a "letter of the contract"
348
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:47,628
sort of guy, you know? So...
349
00:16:47,670 --> 00:16:51,799
"The letter killeth,
but the spirit giveth life."
350
00:16:51,841 --> 00:16:55,511
That's some New Testament shit,
you hear me?
351
00:16:55,553 --> 00:16:57,054
I see it like this.
352
00:16:57,096 --> 00:16:59,390
I could remind you of all
the various and sundry ways
353
00:16:59,432 --> 00:17:01,225
that I could ruin your life.
354
00:17:01,267 --> 00:17:03,436
Or I could treat you like a valued,
355
00:17:03,477 --> 00:17:06,730
important and brilliant
member of the team,
356
00:17:06,772 --> 00:17:08,274
being asked to roll up the sleeves.
357
00:17:08,316 --> 00:17:10,066
It's not about the work it'll take.
358
00:17:10,109 --> 00:17:12,737
That's fine. I'm Wozniak on 'roids
up in this motherfucker.
359
00:17:12,777 --> 00:17:15,323
Nope. It's about ego.
360
00:17:15,364 --> 00:17:16,574
You just said that.
361
00:17:16,615 --> 00:17:18,825
Ego, which translates into dollars.
362
00:17:18,868 --> 00:17:20,912
The whole thing is, I am in the process
363
00:17:20,952 --> 00:17:22,455
of careering off of this algorithm,
364
00:17:22,496 --> 00:17:23,873
and for that to be the case,
365
00:17:23,915 --> 00:17:25,416
I need it to be a money-making machine.
366
00:17:25,458 --> 00:17:27,335
- Which it is.
- I get it.
367
00:17:27,376 --> 00:17:29,629
So, what dollar figure would you attach
368
00:17:29,670 --> 00:17:31,297
to the sublimation of that ego
369
00:17:31,339 --> 00:17:34,800
in order for us to get
what we need right now?
370
00:17:34,842 --> 00:17:38,012
It's a seven-figure number
that starts with "Oh, shit!"
371
00:17:38,054 --> 00:17:40,056
That'll be fine.
372
00:17:40,097 --> 00:17:42,934
Get started today. Now.
373
00:17:42,975 --> 00:17:44,685
We have a time frame.
374
00:17:44,727 --> 00:17:46,520
It's right fucking now.
375
00:17:46,562 --> 00:17:48,105
That's not what I'm
here to walk through.
376
00:17:48,147 --> 00:17:51,025
Well, can it wait?
Today is about the money first.
377
00:17:51,067 --> 00:17:53,027
This is about the money.
378
00:17:53,069 --> 00:17:55,905
I expected Chuck would be strategizing
379
00:17:55,947 --> 00:17:57,281
with former Axe Cappers.
380
00:17:57,323 --> 00:17:59,867
Didn't know where else
the radar blip would come from,
381
00:17:59,909 --> 00:18:01,327
but I was ready.
382
00:18:05,915 --> 00:18:09,239
Based on the binder Chuck
has so graciously provided,
383
00:18:09,274 --> 00:18:12,422
we have a pretty good overview
of Prince's private holdings.
384
00:18:12,457 --> 00:18:14,590
Now this brain trust can
lay out an attack plan.
385
00:18:14,632 --> 00:18:17,218
Best targets in my opinion
are the restaurant group,
386
00:18:17,260 --> 00:18:19,679
the meat-processing plants,
clothing chains,
387
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,347
and auto parts manufacturers.
388
00:18:21,389 --> 00:18:22,807
Hey, do you mind if I burn one?
389
00:18:22,848 --> 00:18:24,016
Uh, I do mind.
390
00:18:24,782 --> 00:18:26,894
Whomsoever ordered these, whoa.
391
00:18:26,936 --> 00:18:29,188
Well, it's Kensington Deli, so...
392
00:18:29,230 --> 00:18:32,316
Hey, let's lay out
how to attack this shit.
393
00:18:32,358 --> 00:18:34,277
All are vulnerable to misinformation,
394
00:18:34,318 --> 00:18:36,821
disinformation, false information,
395
00:18:36,862 --> 00:18:40,466
all designed to drive the
enterprise value down.
396
00:18:40,501 --> 00:18:43,160
Once the balance sheets start to wobble,
it just gets easier.
397
00:18:43,202 --> 00:18:45,037
There's also sabotage from within.
398
00:18:45,079 --> 00:18:48,457
Infiltrate personnel in to
encourage internal conflict.
399
00:18:48,499 --> 00:18:50,501
Disputes among the management team.
400
00:18:50,543 --> 00:18:52,503
Create divisions between employees.
401
00:18:52,545 --> 00:18:54,213
Foster a toxic work environment.
402
00:18:54,255 --> 00:18:55,923
I, for one, know
how debilitating that can be.
403
00:18:55,965 --> 00:18:58,217
It really does lead to
decreased productivity
404
00:18:58,259 --> 00:18:59,593
and a weakened company culture.
405
00:18:59,635 --> 00:19:00,970
You sure I can't burn one?
406
00:19:01,012 --> 00:19:02,513
I'll blow the smoke out of the window.
407
00:19:02,555 --> 00:19:04,307
It makes my synapses fire faster.
408
00:19:06,183 --> 00:19:07,852
I know that's not what
it typically does,
409
00:19:07,893 --> 00:19:11,397
but my doctor says I have a
paradoxical reaction to weed.
410
00:19:11,439 --> 00:19:13,107
Your doctor says that?
411
00:19:13,149 --> 00:19:15,151
I mean, she's not technically a doctor.
412
00:19:15,192 --> 00:19:16,485
More of a spirit walker.
413
00:19:16,527 --> 00:19:17,862
Answer's still no.
414
00:19:17,903 --> 00:19:20,573
There are also poison pill strategies.
415
00:19:20,614 --> 00:19:23,576
Clandestinely encourage
unethical business practices.
416
00:19:23,617 --> 00:19:25,369
- Bribery, you mean?
- Sure.
417
00:19:25,411 --> 00:19:26,912
If you want to get earthy about it.
418
00:19:26,954 --> 00:19:29,457
Which you fellas could then
investigate and announce.
419
00:19:29,498 --> 00:19:31,709
[BACH] And legal entanglements.
420
00:19:31,751 --> 00:19:34,337
Lawsuits designed to
tie up their resources
421
00:19:34,378 --> 00:19:35,796
in lengthy battles that distract them
422
00:19:35,838 --> 00:19:37,965
from their core business operations.
423
00:19:44,388 --> 00:19:46,640
Amanda, you have a grand jury suit?
424
00:19:46,682 --> 00:19:49,477
'Cause you're gonna need it.
Lots of appearances coming up.
425
00:19:49,518 --> 00:19:52,438
We've stumbled upon a whole
bunch of dirty companies,
426
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:53,814
as you see.
427
00:19:54,795 --> 00:19:57,360
You're going to probably
need more than one.
428
00:19:57,952 --> 00:19:59,797
Try something without stripes.
429
00:19:59,832 --> 00:20:01,113
- They moiré.
- [CHUCK] And get it quick.
430
00:20:01,155 --> 00:20:03,866
Grand jury's open,
and we're going with a long list
431
00:20:03,908 --> 00:20:05,368
of charges against these companies.
432
00:20:05,409 --> 00:20:06,619
We expect indictments.
433
00:20:06,660 --> 00:20:07,995
You want me to suit up
434
00:20:08,037 --> 00:20:09,789
for something we're six months away on?
435
00:20:09,830 --> 00:20:11,582
[CHUCK] Six months? No.
436
00:20:11,624 --> 00:20:13,125
We're announcing these investigations
437
00:20:13,167 --> 00:20:15,002
and coming charges tomorrow.
438
00:20:16,420 --> 00:20:18,547
All of these companies are
owned by Michael Prince,
439
00:20:18,589 --> 00:20:19,840
or his subsidiaries.
440
00:20:19,882 --> 00:20:21,175
Mm, that's right.
441
00:20:21,217 --> 00:20:23,219
We hurt the companies,
and we hurt Prince.
442
00:20:23,260 --> 00:20:25,476
- Badly.
- Tag the companies as bad.
443
00:20:25,511 --> 00:20:26,572
Ruin them without knowing
444
00:20:26,614 --> 00:20:28,432
if anything criminal actually happened.
445
00:20:28,467 --> 00:20:30,601
Do the investigation after the fact.
446
00:20:30,643 --> 00:20:33,521
I plan on using the power
of this office to its fullest,
447
00:20:33,562 --> 00:20:35,022
and I expect you to do the same.
448
00:20:35,959 --> 00:20:37,274
Otherwise it is wasted on you,
449
00:20:37,316 --> 00:20:40,069
and will be given to someone
not so easily offended.
450
00:20:40,111 --> 00:20:42,613
You don't see me clutching my pearls.
451
00:20:42,655 --> 00:20:44,115
I don't even own any.
452
00:20:44,156 --> 00:20:46,450
Guys, there is an order to things.
453
00:20:47,088 --> 00:20:51,007
Learn of a crime, investigate,
confirm, announce,
454
00:20:51,042 --> 00:20:53,249
so that only companies that
are bad actors are hurt.
455
00:20:53,290 --> 00:20:55,835
And I assure you we will find crimes.
456
00:20:55,876 --> 00:20:58,671
Fruit of a poison tree
called Michael Prince.
457
00:21:00,714 --> 00:21:02,091
You're okay with this?
458
00:21:02,133 --> 00:21:03,676
We have enough to start.
459
00:21:03,717 --> 00:21:06,554
And I will slumber like
a wee babe tonight.
460
00:21:07,972 --> 00:21:09,348
While I will sleep as always:
461
00:21:09,390 --> 00:21:11,434
deeply, but only 20 minutes at a time.
462
00:21:11,475 --> 00:21:14,770
But, yes, free of moral paroxysms.
463
00:21:16,522 --> 00:21:19,525
There are thousands of
employees at these companies.
464
00:21:19,567 --> 00:21:22,361
Working people who will
not be once we start this.
465
00:21:22,403 --> 00:21:25,072
When one man rises
to this level of threat,
466
00:21:25,114 --> 00:21:27,741
that is the way the system must be used.
467
00:21:32,746 --> 00:21:34,248
You're not in law school anymore.
468
00:21:34,290 --> 00:21:35,916
This is the show.
469
00:21:37,042 --> 00:21:38,919
So you have two choices, Miss Torre.
470
00:21:38,961 --> 00:21:40,796
You can do your job and write the briefs
471
00:21:40,838 --> 00:21:44,604
and stand with us as we announce
these investigations tomorrow,
472
00:21:44,639 --> 00:21:46,469
or be complicit.
473
00:22:11,577 --> 00:22:14,246
Is it just us,
or are we waiting for the Third Man?
474
00:22:15,164 --> 00:22:17,500
You can almost hear the footsteps.
475
00:22:18,599 --> 00:22:21,337
What you said.
About Chuck showing who he is.
476
00:22:21,378 --> 00:22:22,880
It fucking happened.
477
00:22:22,922 --> 00:22:24,131
Tell me.
478
00:22:24,173 --> 00:22:25,424
The three of them.
479
00:22:25,466 --> 00:22:26,800
Him and Ira and Allerd,
480
00:22:26,842 --> 00:22:28,844
they all line up together
and expect what from me?
481
00:22:28,886 --> 00:22:30,262
Obedience? Fealty?
482
00:22:30,304 --> 00:22:32,473
I need the thing,
not your feelings about the thing.
483
00:22:32,515 --> 00:22:34,767
He's got a list of
Prince's private companies.
484
00:22:34,808 --> 00:22:36,435
Investigations to be announced tomorrow.
485
00:22:36,477 --> 00:22:37,686
There's nothing there.
486
00:22:37,728 --> 00:22:39,104
I may not be voting for your boss,
487
00:22:39,146 --> 00:22:40,731
but he's as far from a crime
488
00:22:40,773 --> 00:22:43,442
as I am from starring
in a Black Swan remake.
489
00:22:43,484 --> 00:22:44,985
Don't have the dance moves?
490
00:22:45,684 --> 00:22:47,071
My jeté is for shit.
491
00:22:47,947 --> 00:22:50,241
The targets. And how targeted.
492
00:22:53,786 --> 00:22:54,870
Wow.
493
00:22:54,912 --> 00:22:56,247
I can't stop these investigations,
494
00:22:56,288 --> 00:22:57,665
or the announcements that are coming.
495
00:22:57,706 --> 00:22:59,625
I can't stop him.
496
00:22:59,667 --> 00:23:02,628
But I can at least knock the
intended victim out of the way.
497
00:23:16,670 --> 00:23:19,061
So, yeah, I have a source
and some documentation.
498
00:23:19,103 --> 00:23:21,313
I know how Chuck is gonna attack,
and where.
499
00:23:21,355 --> 00:23:24,441
Who's the source? How close?
How good? And who?
500
00:23:25,223 --> 00:23:27,611
- Close. All I can say.
- Without the specific name,
501
00:23:27,653 --> 00:23:29,738
it's hard for me to put
confidence in the information.
502
00:23:29,780 --> 00:23:31,407
I understand what you're thinking...
503
00:23:31,448 --> 00:23:33,450
that Chuck might want you
to know he's investigating
504
00:23:33,492 --> 00:23:35,327
to induce a reaction,
but I can't tell you.
505
00:23:35,369 --> 00:23:36,787
For the source's sake.
506
00:23:36,829 --> 00:23:39,707
Nice of you to protect
Amanda Torre from SDNY.
507
00:23:41,500 --> 00:23:42,960
Shit.
508
00:23:43,002 --> 00:23:45,671
So those footsteps.
I wasn't just hearing things.
509
00:23:48,090 --> 00:23:49,550
Smart. Trust no one.
510
00:23:50,214 --> 00:23:52,210
I don't even know who
they're tracking or when.
511
00:23:52,245 --> 00:23:53,320
I just look at what they send me.
512
00:23:53,362 --> 00:23:55,264
It's that same prudence
that makes me suggest
513
00:23:55,306 --> 00:23:58,559
you sell out your positions
even in these private companies.
514
00:23:58,601 --> 00:24:00,352
All your private equity positions.
515
00:24:00,394 --> 00:24:02,190
Unless he wants us to do that.
516
00:24:02,225 --> 00:24:03,272
Unless that won't be enough.
517
00:24:03,314 --> 00:24:06,108
It all depends on how many steps
from the idiot he thinks I am,
518
00:24:06,150 --> 00:24:08,777
and he presumes I think he is.
519
00:24:08,819 --> 00:24:10,696
[CELL PHONE VIBRATES]
520
00:24:10,738 --> 00:24:11,989
I-I need a whiteboard.
521
00:24:12,031 --> 00:24:13,824
Dunlop just texted me, Mike.
522
00:24:13,866 --> 00:24:15,451
She needs to push your dinner.
523
00:24:15,492 --> 00:24:18,037
- Tomorrow?
- "Heading back home.
524
00:24:18,078 --> 00:24:20,164
Next trip should be soon."
525
00:24:28,839 --> 00:24:30,257
Herbert Yardley. Know the name?
526
00:24:30,299 --> 00:24:31,675
WWII codebreaker.
527
00:24:31,717 --> 00:24:36,430
And wrote the first great
poker strategy book.
528
00:24:36,472 --> 00:24:39,433
In it, he kind of invents game theory.
529
00:24:39,475 --> 00:24:42,186
Now the example we use to figure
this out is the quarterback,
530
00:24:42,227 --> 00:24:44,480
because in order to defend against him,
531
00:24:44,521 --> 00:24:47,650
you need to figure out
how many steps removed
532
00:24:47,691 --> 00:24:49,485
from the idiot he is.
533
00:24:49,526 --> 00:24:52,571
An idiot quarterback looks directly
534
00:24:52,613 --> 00:24:54,615
at the man he throws to.
535
00:24:54,657 --> 00:24:57,409
Now, what do you do if you're
the middle linebacker, Kate?
536
00:24:57,451 --> 00:25:00,120
Jump into the path of the ball,
just go where he's looking
537
00:25:00,162 --> 00:25:01,497
and intercept the pass.
538
00:25:01,538 --> 00:25:02,915
And if he's one step removed,
539
00:25:02,956 --> 00:25:07,378
if he looks left but
throws right each time.
540
00:25:07,419 --> 00:25:09,713
- Also easy to defend.
- [LUKE] Sure.
541
00:25:09,755 --> 00:25:12,132
You go to the opposite of his
eyes and intercept the pass.
542
00:25:12,174 --> 00:25:13,592
But... and this is where the idea
543
00:25:13,634 --> 00:25:16,136
of un-exploitable play comes from...
544
00:25:16,178 --> 00:25:17,971
if he knows you're running
this thought process,
545
00:25:18,013 --> 00:25:20,849
he can figure how many steps
removed you think he is,
546
00:25:20,891 --> 00:25:24,311
and he can go eight or
nine steps further out.
547
00:25:24,353 --> 00:25:27,523
Chuck is going to announce
an investigation...
548
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:29,566
so I sell.
549
00:25:29,608 --> 00:25:33,070
But he wants me to know,
so I don't sell.
550
00:25:34,363 --> 00:25:36,573
But he knows I know,
551
00:25:36,615 --> 00:25:38,909
so he doesn't really want me to sell.
552
00:25:38,951 --> 00:25:40,703
On and on.
553
00:25:43,414 --> 00:25:45,249
Now the question is,
554
00:25:45,290 --> 00:25:47,751
how many degrees from the
idiot does he think I am?
555
00:25:47,793 --> 00:25:49,628
How many is he?
556
00:25:49,670 --> 00:25:51,839
That's what I need to figure, right?
557
00:25:53,799 --> 00:25:55,300
No.
558
00:25:55,342 --> 00:25:57,302
[LAUGHS]
559
00:25:58,595 --> 00:26:00,556
Good. Good.
560
00:26:00,597 --> 00:26:03,183
That's what he wants me
spending my time on.
561
00:26:03,225 --> 00:26:06,353
Sorting out the financial attack
he and Axe are planning.
562
00:26:06,395 --> 00:26:08,856
He wants all my focus on that flank,
563
00:26:08,897 --> 00:26:11,608
ignoring the front where
the war is really taking place.
564
00:26:13,360 --> 00:26:15,529
Shoot. Get back to Dunlop.
565
00:26:15,571 --> 00:26:16,989
Tell her to be at my house tonight
566
00:26:17,030 --> 00:26:18,741
after whatever she's doing.
567
00:26:18,782 --> 00:26:20,451
Demand it.
568
00:26:20,492 --> 00:26:23,787
She doesn't leave the isle
of Manhattan before we meet.
569
00:26:24,830 --> 00:26:26,165
That's what you counted on.
570
00:26:26,206 --> 00:26:28,375
Getting me all caught up
in your frontal attack
571
00:26:28,417 --> 00:26:30,085
so I'd miss the real play:
572
00:26:30,127 --> 00:26:32,671
winning Governor Dunlop and her support.
573
00:26:32,713 --> 00:26:34,006
- Huh.
- But you see,
574
00:26:34,047 --> 00:26:37,009
I remembered what was
most important to me:
575
00:26:37,050 --> 00:26:39,678
the presidency, and how to get there.
576
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,389
I think you know she hasn't
made her announcement yet.
577
00:26:42,431 --> 00:26:45,684
No, but I think I know
what it's gonna be.
578
00:26:45,726 --> 00:26:47,102
Do you?
579
00:26:47,144 --> 00:26:49,646
Well, then you should know
what I did yesterday, Mike.
580
00:27:03,702 --> 00:27:06,163
So this is where the magic happens.
581
00:27:06,997 --> 00:27:09,792
Never could make the elephant
disappear when it came to you.
582
00:27:09,833 --> 00:27:11,502
But yeah, this is the place.
583
00:27:11,543 --> 00:27:14,338
Though as you know,
the usual weapons of this office
584
00:27:14,379 --> 00:27:18,425
are also coming up short against Prince.
585
00:27:19,510 --> 00:27:21,470
All right, well, let's get into it.
586
00:27:22,438 --> 00:27:23,847
Do your thing, Wend.
587
00:27:23,889 --> 00:27:26,141
We're dealing with an ambitious,
588
00:27:26,183 --> 00:27:28,519
competitive, confident,
589
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:32,022
charismatic,
socially conscious strategic thinker
590
00:27:32,064 --> 00:27:35,150
with high emotional
intelligence and deep resources.
591
00:27:35,192 --> 00:27:36,568
Jeez, it's a wonder I even thought
592
00:27:36,610 --> 00:27:38,070
to come back for this fight.
593
00:27:38,111 --> 00:27:39,863
Or even why I get out
of bed in the morning.
594
00:27:39,905 --> 00:27:41,740
[WENDY] But he's morally complex,
595
00:27:41,782 --> 00:27:44,201
which means he likes to
think he's more ethical
596
00:27:44,243 --> 00:27:45,661
than those around him.
597
00:27:45,702 --> 00:27:47,246
And he is not immune from engaging
598
00:27:47,287 --> 00:27:49,039
in questionable tactics
to achieve his goals.
599
00:27:50,193 --> 00:27:52,668
That is a slippery slope,
and one place he can be hit.
600
00:27:52,709 --> 00:27:56,713
And he believes in his own
infallibility above all else.
601
00:27:57,464 --> 00:27:58,799
Something you fell prey to
602
00:27:58,841 --> 00:28:00,259
that last time you tangled with the man.
603
00:28:00,300 --> 00:28:02,803
I thought my play was un-exploitable.
604
00:28:02,845 --> 00:28:05,806
Until you found out that any
approach can be exploited
605
00:28:05,848 --> 00:28:07,266
if it becomes known.
606
00:28:08,433 --> 00:28:10,561
He's going to cash with everything.
607
00:28:10,602 --> 00:28:12,145
Whole Street's talking about it.
608
00:28:12,187 --> 00:28:13,939
It's untenable.
609
00:28:13,981 --> 00:28:15,899
He's probably looking
for some sort of hard reset
610
00:28:15,941 --> 00:28:18,277
to make sure we're not
already in his holdings.
611
00:28:18,318 --> 00:28:20,749
He'll have to buy back in fast.
612
00:28:20,784 --> 00:28:23,448
Nobody wants to pay him
two and twenty to sit in cash.
613
00:28:23,490 --> 00:28:24,825
How long does he have?
614
00:28:24,867 --> 00:28:26,535
A few days, max.
615
00:28:26,577 --> 00:28:29,162
He'll try to massage his investors,
his employees,
616
00:28:29,204 --> 00:28:30,622
but he smells the attack.
617
00:28:30,664 --> 00:28:31,999
He knows we want to hurt him.
618
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:33,834
Hurt? No. Annihilate.
619
00:28:33,876 --> 00:28:36,545
Send his holdings up
in a mushroom cloud.
620
00:28:36,587 --> 00:28:37,671
[SCOFFS]
621
00:28:37,713 --> 00:28:39,214
You got a way to separate his cash
622
00:28:39,256 --> 00:28:40,799
from all the people
that work there for him
623
00:28:40,841 --> 00:28:42,801
before you A-bomb his shit?
624
00:28:42,843 --> 00:28:45,137
You know, the ones you told me
you couldn't abandon
625
00:28:45,178 --> 00:28:46,597
and had to protect,
626
00:28:46,638 --> 00:28:48,307
so staying in London was out for you.
627
00:28:48,348 --> 00:28:50,642
Those people?
628
00:28:54,521 --> 00:28:55,647
There is no way.
629
00:28:55,689 --> 00:28:58,150
Price of doing business here.
630
00:28:58,942 --> 00:29:01,111
So who wins when Prince loses?
631
00:29:03,075 --> 00:29:05,198
- The country.
- The world.
632
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,451
Like it, don't love it.
633
00:29:07,492 --> 00:29:08,911
[SIGHS]
634
00:29:08,952 --> 00:29:11,163
All right, let's shift venues
635
00:29:11,204 --> 00:29:13,916
before your staff come into
work and clock I'm here.
636
00:29:13,957 --> 00:29:15,751
You need someplace to work out of?
637
00:29:15,792 --> 00:29:17,628
I'm covered, Charles.
638
00:29:28,931 --> 00:29:31,683
Uh, yeah, I'd say you're covered.
639
00:29:31,725 --> 00:29:33,143
It'll do for now.
640
00:29:33,185 --> 00:29:35,520
Still have my eye on a different
space for the long haul.
641
00:29:35,562 --> 00:29:36,897
Sure.
642
00:29:38,899 --> 00:29:40,025
Strength report.
643
00:29:40,067 --> 00:29:41,360
I think, from what I know,
644
00:29:41,401 --> 00:29:43,028
Prince is gonna try to lock up Dunlop.
645
00:29:43,070 --> 00:29:44,279
But she's not easy.
646
00:29:44,321 --> 00:29:45,489
We have to set it up
647
00:29:45,530 --> 00:29:46,740
so she does what we want.
648
00:29:46,782 --> 00:29:48,700
Bobby, you need to reach Dunlop.
649
00:29:48,742 --> 00:29:50,160
Offer her whatever you can.
650
00:29:50,202 --> 00:29:51,912
Make sure she doesn't
do the wrong thing.
651
00:29:51,954 --> 00:29:54,706
And what is the overall
plan at the moment?
652
00:29:55,439 --> 00:29:57,209
Bankrupt Prince, drain the portfolio,
653
00:29:57,250 --> 00:29:58,961
use whatever we know about the man
654
00:29:59,002 --> 00:30:01,213
and can glean to set it up.
655
00:30:01,254 --> 00:30:03,882
You do know...
He does know our money's in there too?
656
00:30:03,924 --> 00:30:05,968
Like I told them:
Like it, don't love it.
657
00:30:06,775 --> 00:30:08,762
Pitched Dollar Bill and Victor.
Pass from each.
658
00:30:08,804 --> 00:30:10,138
They love you, but...
659
00:30:10,180 --> 00:30:11,431
That's the smart move.
660
00:30:11,473 --> 00:30:13,058
Their money's holding them hostage.
661
00:30:13,100 --> 00:30:15,394
Most people aren't crazy
like you, Taylor.
662
00:30:15,435 --> 00:30:16,979
- And Ben and Tuk?
- Too emotional for them.
663
00:30:17,020 --> 00:30:18,397
The whole thing. They wouldn't meet.
664
00:30:18,438 --> 00:30:19,856
They knew if they saw me,
especially you,
665
00:30:19,898 --> 00:30:21,984
they'd just go in for
a hug and never let go.
666
00:30:22,025 --> 00:30:24,653
Dumb move. They'll be canned by now.
667
00:30:25,414 --> 00:30:27,197
You may be aware that the guillotine
668
00:30:27,239 --> 00:30:29,908
was originally conceived and fashioned
669
00:30:29,950 --> 00:30:32,285
by Dr. Joseph-Ignace Guillotin
670
00:30:32,327 --> 00:30:35,330
as a more humane means of execution.
671
00:30:35,372 --> 00:30:36,832
Unaware.
672
00:30:36,873 --> 00:30:39,710
But since we've already been
decapitated, sans the humanity...
673
00:30:39,751 --> 00:30:42,587
Lightning quick.
674
00:30:42,629 --> 00:30:46,091
Less likely to be botched
than steel or scimitar.
675
00:30:46,133 --> 00:30:47,759
So, no severance package?
676
00:30:51,263 --> 00:30:53,357
So, yes severance package?
677
00:30:53,392 --> 00:30:56,351
Consider the mouton to have fallen.
678
00:30:56,393 --> 00:30:58,437
Detailed data sheets
679
00:30:58,478 --> 00:31:00,564
of every farthing you
have tied up in this fund.
680
00:31:00,605 --> 00:31:02,482
Also known as what you stand to lose
681
00:31:02,524 --> 00:31:05,110
should you use or discuss
or otherwise bandy about
682
00:31:05,152 --> 00:31:06,778
anything you have learned about trades
683
00:31:06,820 --> 00:31:08,405
and business practices here.
684
00:31:08,447 --> 00:31:10,490
You know we have
aggressive non-competes,
685
00:31:10,532 --> 00:31:11,825
unless you think we're gonna bring
686
00:31:11,867 --> 00:31:13,994
our inside knowledge to Starbucks.
687
00:31:14,036 --> 00:31:15,954
Only place on the Street
we can still work.
688
00:31:15,996 --> 00:31:18,582
You have aggressive
non-disparagement clauses too.
689
00:31:18,623 --> 00:31:21,293
Should you wind up in said Starbucks,
690
00:31:21,334 --> 00:31:22,878
you had better be praising Mike Prince
691
00:31:22,919 --> 00:31:24,171
for the chance to quaff
692
00:31:24,212 --> 00:31:27,299
their barely potable breakfast blend.
693
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:31,595
Key cards, please.
694
00:31:35,098 --> 00:31:37,142
And your Nimbus rings.
695
00:31:48,528 --> 00:31:50,822
Find out how long
their non-competes are.
696
00:31:52,157 --> 00:31:53,658
I've got to make a call.
697
00:31:56,119 --> 00:31:58,163
See, I wasn't exactly caught unawares
698
00:31:58,205 --> 00:32:00,373
by any of your highlight reel plays.
699
00:32:00,415 --> 00:32:02,459
[OVER PHONE] Governor,
don't meet with Michael Prince
700
00:32:02,501 --> 00:32:03,835
until you sit with me.
701
00:32:03,877 --> 00:32:06,171
Mr. Axelrod,
are we sharing calendars now?
702
00:32:06,213 --> 00:32:08,173
What makes you think I'm
meeting with Michael Prince?
703
00:32:08,215 --> 00:32:09,966
You're the key piece.
704
00:32:10,008 --> 00:32:11,718
Anyone smart can see it.
705
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,346
And Mike Prince, for all his flaws,
is at least that.
706
00:32:14,387 --> 00:32:16,264
We all know you're in New York. Come on.
707
00:32:16,306 --> 00:32:19,184
[LAUGHS] All right, look,
708
00:32:19,226 --> 00:32:21,853
I took the call because
you're an influential man.
709
00:32:21,895 --> 00:32:23,897
I like that you get
straight to the punch.
710
00:32:23,939 --> 00:32:25,816
That's my style. So I will.
711
00:32:26,775 --> 00:32:28,568
Even if you max out your contributions
712
00:32:28,610 --> 00:32:32,614
and get all your fancy
friends to do the same...
713
00:32:32,656 --> 00:32:35,867
not sure the association
is what I need right now.
714
00:32:37,202 --> 00:32:38,620
I'm no Wall Street fancy pants,
715
00:32:38,662 --> 00:32:40,580
so I don't see how you can help.
716
00:32:40,622 --> 00:32:43,083
And I sure don't see
any value in meeting.
717
00:32:43,849 --> 00:32:45,127
Oh, I think there is.
718
00:32:45,168 --> 00:32:48,213
Whatever you have on
with Prince, cancel it.
719
00:32:48,255 --> 00:32:49,589
Postpone it at least,
720
00:32:49,631 --> 00:32:52,175
and then meet with me so I can show you.
721
00:32:53,135 --> 00:32:54,386

How we doing, guys?

We're doing good, thanks.
726
00:33:08,446 --> 00:33:09,901
[AXE] Fantastic, Tommy.
727
00:33:10,629 --> 00:33:11,695
I'm liking this new red.
728
00:33:11,736 --> 00:33:13,238
It's a good one.
729
00:33:14,739 --> 00:33:17,576
- All right, enjoy, everybody.
- Thank you so much.
730
00:33:17,617 --> 00:33:19,369
Salut, gentlemen.

00:33:19,411 --> 00:33:20,787
Salut. Cheers.

00:33:20,829 --> 00:33:22,789
Salut. Enjoy your dinner.
733
00:33:25,375 --> 00:33:26,877
I don't impress easily,
734
00:33:26,918 --> 00:33:28,461
but Rao's?
735
00:33:28,503 --> 00:33:29,629
All alone?
736
00:33:29,671 --> 00:33:31,923
Yeah, well, these are my people.
737
00:33:31,965 --> 00:33:33,383
It can't be that simple.
738
00:33:33,425 --> 00:33:36,011
I've been asked here before
by my biggest donors,
739
00:33:36,052 --> 00:33:39,014
richest people in the world
offering to bring me.
740
00:33:39,055 --> 00:33:40,891
But I was never in town
741
00:33:40,932 --> 00:33:42,851
on the third Tuesday of the month,
742
00:33:42,893 --> 00:33:44,436
or whenever they had
their regular table.
743
00:33:44,477 --> 00:33:48,273
And, look, you've got the whole place.
744
00:33:48,315 --> 00:33:50,442
Can't even imagine the cost.
745
00:33:50,483 --> 00:33:51,902
Nah. It ain't about that.
746
00:33:52,777 --> 00:33:54,196
Or net worth.
747
00:33:54,237 --> 00:33:55,363
You need to be a person.
748
00:33:55,405 --> 00:33:57,449
And have grip with Ron,
749
00:33:57,490 --> 00:33:59,784
and Frank Jr., Joe, Dino.
750
00:33:59,826 --> 00:34:01,745
They need to be your friends.
751
00:34:01,786 --> 00:34:03,872
Then you need to be sure
not to act like an asshole.
752
00:34:03,914 --> 00:34:05,165
[LAUGHS]
753
00:34:06,443 --> 00:34:08,960
Oh, this is one hell of a meatball.
Good God.
754
00:34:09,002 --> 00:34:11,129
Well, that's the thing,
though, isn't it?
755
00:34:12,004 --> 00:34:13,798
Riding with me.
756
00:34:13,839 --> 00:34:15,174
What do they say?
757
00:34:15,216 --> 00:34:17,426
The one thing you will never regret
758
00:34:17,469 --> 00:34:19,803
spending money or time on
759
00:34:19,846 --> 00:34:21,848
is a great experience.
760
00:34:22,639 --> 00:34:24,267
A memorable time.
761
00:34:25,018 --> 00:34:26,353
That's what I provide.
762
00:34:26,394 --> 00:34:29,647
When I look at you,
I look at your appeal,
763
00:34:29,689 --> 00:34:30,815
your infrastructure.
764
00:34:30,857 --> 00:34:33,151
The memorable experience
I want to provide
765
00:34:33,193 --> 00:34:34,653
is a trip to the White House.
766
00:34:34,694 --> 00:34:37,196
That would be one hell
of a memorable one.
767
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:38,949
Mm-hmm. Then work with me.
768
00:34:38,990 --> 00:34:42,868
Respond to Prince on your timeline,
on mine,
769
00:34:42,911 --> 00:34:45,622
on the way we decide to do together.
770
00:34:45,664 --> 00:34:47,123
And that's where this ends up.
771
00:34:47,165 --> 00:34:48,959
I'll put you on top in the race,
772
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,670
but you got to do it
the way I lay it out.
773
00:34:53,588 --> 00:34:57,133
This is one hell of a meatball,
like I said.
774
00:34:57,175 --> 00:35:02,305
But it's a long way from
there to the presidency.
775
00:35:02,889 --> 00:35:05,308
What kind of real guarantees
can you make me?
776
00:35:05,350 --> 00:35:06,893
Well, that's a fair question.
777
00:35:06,935 --> 00:35:08,103
What's he offered?
778
00:35:08,144 --> 00:35:09,646
You asked me to cancel the meeting,
779
00:35:09,688 --> 00:35:11,064
so I don't know where he'll start.
780
00:35:11,106 --> 00:35:13,817
Probably cabinet positions.
781
00:35:13,858 --> 00:35:15,193
But we all know where it'll end up.
782
00:35:15,235 --> 00:35:16,444
Then let me help you
783
00:35:16,486 --> 00:35:18,905
think through all the ramifications.
784
00:35:20,573 --> 00:35:21,866
Axe, you're impressive.
785
00:35:21,908 --> 00:35:23,994
This is impressive.
786
00:35:24,035 --> 00:35:26,496
But this is something I've
worked my whole life for.
787
00:35:26,538 --> 00:35:30,083
Then don't barter that dream
to a guy so transactional
788
00:35:30,125 --> 00:35:32,627
he'll sell VP for your support.
789
00:35:32,669 --> 00:35:35,964
And the truth is,
you shouldn't even settle for that.
790
00:35:38,591 --> 00:35:40,051
Here we go.
791
00:35:40,093 --> 00:35:41,803
- Here's the veal parm.
- Thanks, Dino.
792
00:35:41,845 --> 00:35:43,346
- Enjoy.
- Thank you.
793
00:35:44,514 --> 00:35:46,516
So, aside
from the best veal in the city,
794
00:35:46,558 --> 00:35:48,685
what can you really offer me?
795
00:36:13,376 --> 00:36:14,794
You're really doing it.
796
00:36:16,504 --> 00:36:18,173
Vagabonding.
797
00:36:19,057 --> 00:36:20,383
Night flight to the West Coast?
798
00:36:20,425 --> 00:36:22,677
Or are you going the other way,
Prague or Stockholm?
799
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:23,928
Morocco, baby.
800
00:36:23,970 --> 00:36:25,847
Sheltering Sky time.
801
00:36:25,889 --> 00:36:27,682
Smoking kief.
802
00:36:27,724 --> 00:36:28,892
Do you smoke it?
803
00:36:28,933 --> 00:36:30,852
I don't know, do you? Or chew it.
804
00:36:31,811 --> 00:36:33,772
Anyway, North Africa,
805
00:36:33,813 --> 00:36:35,315
then the Middle East,
806
00:36:35,357 --> 00:36:36,524
then I don't know where.
807
00:36:36,566 --> 00:36:38,109
Good choice. All of it.
808
00:36:39,058 --> 00:36:40,737
So, what's the plan?
Go until the money runs out?
809
00:36:40,779 --> 00:36:42,155
Because I've checked and saw how much
810
00:36:42,197 --> 00:36:43,990
you've slowly been
pulling out of the fund.
811
00:36:44,032 --> 00:36:46,868
- Unlike the rest of us.
- Yeah, pretty much.
812
00:36:46,910 --> 00:36:48,703
Time for something else.
813
00:36:48,745 --> 00:36:50,205
Maybe find myself some
814
00:36:50,246 --> 00:36:52,374
Kim Gordon-Thurston Moore type heat,
815
00:36:52,415 --> 00:36:55,585
but with a better ending, you know?
816
00:36:55,627 --> 00:36:58,129
Not gonna find that at the firm.
817
00:36:58,171 --> 00:37:00,090
No, you're not.
818
00:37:01,257 --> 00:37:03,885
Wait, you're not here to try to stop me?
819
00:37:04,844 --> 00:37:06,096
I'm glad you're going,
820
00:37:06,137 --> 00:37:07,430
but you left me that book.
821
00:37:07,472 --> 00:37:09,391
That was an invitation to say goodbye.
822
00:37:11,351 --> 00:37:14,562
I can't hug you with this backpack on.
823
00:37:18,066 --> 00:37:19,901
Thank you for bringing me in.
For teaching me.
824
00:37:19,943 --> 00:37:22,237
- I could have never...
- Shh.
825
00:37:44,175 --> 00:37:46,970
Two billionaires want
to take me to prom,
826
00:37:47,011 --> 00:37:49,973
and neither of them are getting
me jazzed about the after-party.
827
00:37:50,014 --> 00:37:51,891
- Uh-huh.
- So,
828
00:37:51,933 --> 00:37:53,893
ya-fucking-hoo to me.
829
00:37:53,935 --> 00:37:55,854
- [GLASSES CLINK]
- Well, I have to think
830
00:37:55,895 --> 00:37:58,606
if there was nothing that
Axe said worth considering,
831
00:37:58,648 --> 00:38:00,108
you wouldn't have come to me.
832
00:38:00,918 --> 00:38:02,026
Prince is too smooth.
833
00:38:02,068 --> 00:38:04,946
Too confident. He's built different.
834
00:38:06,030 --> 00:38:07,782
It's like he ate the Great Man Theory
835
00:38:07,824 --> 00:38:08,950
and asked for seconds.
836
00:38:08,992 --> 00:38:11,619
[CHUCKLES] Well, no argument there.
837
00:38:11,661 --> 00:38:13,371
But I'm not seeing enough evidence
838
00:38:13,413 --> 00:38:15,623
your guy is that different.
839
00:38:15,665 --> 00:38:17,041
Which is why I am here.
840
00:38:17,083 --> 00:38:19,377
And I am grateful you are, Governor.
841
00:38:19,419 --> 00:38:20,920
I don't need gratitude.
842
00:38:22,464 --> 00:38:23,923
I need clarity.
843
00:38:26,176 --> 00:38:27,385
Clarity.
844
00:38:27,427 --> 00:38:28,761
Okay.
845
00:38:28,803 --> 00:38:33,600
Well, Bobby Axelrod
doesn't lie to himself.
846
00:38:34,642 --> 00:38:37,033
If he says he's gonna do
something monstrous,
847
00:38:37,068 --> 00:38:40,565
that's what he does.
And that's what he is.
848
00:38:40,607 --> 00:38:42,108
A self-aware monster.
849
00:38:42,150 --> 00:38:44,611
If he says we can get you
to the White House,
850
00:38:44,652 --> 00:38:46,154
it's not to serve his ego.
851
00:38:46,196 --> 00:38:48,281
It is simply the truth.
852
00:38:49,365 --> 00:38:50,742
Hmm.
853
00:38:50,783 --> 00:38:53,411
An honest cocky son of a bitch.
854
00:38:53,453 --> 00:38:55,538
And there's your difference.
855
00:38:55,580 --> 00:38:58,208
Axe has ego,
and doesn't pretend otherwise.
856
00:38:58,249 --> 00:39:01,961
Prince wants you to believe
he is the benevolent,
857
00:39:02,003 --> 00:39:04,339
humble servant of the greater good.
858
00:39:04,380 --> 00:39:06,216
A selfless billionaire.
859
00:39:06,257 --> 00:39:07,926
Hmm. Sounds like a punch line.
860
00:39:07,967 --> 00:39:10,803
If success in politics is
the ability to seem sincere
861
00:39:10,845 --> 00:39:13,306
when no sincerity actually exists,
862
00:39:13,348 --> 00:39:17,977
then Prince is the ultimate politician.
863
00:39:18,019 --> 00:39:20,271
I hear what you're telling me. I do.
864
00:39:20,313 --> 00:39:23,316
But see, you just said it right there.
865
00:39:24,045 --> 00:39:25,610
One of them is in politics,
866
00:39:25,652 --> 00:39:27,851
and that's the game I'm in.
867
00:39:27,886 --> 00:39:30,865
And that's the game I want you to win.
868
00:39:30,907 --> 00:39:32,784
Long term.
869
00:39:32,825 --> 00:39:36,287
And I really know how
you can get this done.
870
00:39:36,329 --> 00:39:40,416
It is the one thing on Earth
I am truly elite at.
871
00:39:42,835 --> 00:39:44,712
Walk me through it, then.
872
00:39:48,508 --> 00:39:51,761
So, you see, we put up
some roadblocks of our own.
873
00:39:51,803 --> 00:39:54,847
I can see why you feel good
about this, Axe. I can.
874
00:39:54,889 --> 00:39:56,933
But there's one beat
I left out of my own story.
875
00:39:56,975 --> 00:40:01,312
I did, you see, end up
having my own meeting with Dunlop.
876
00:40:02,334 --> 00:40:04,566
Governor,
now that you've met all over town,
877
00:40:04,607 --> 00:40:07,527
I'm glad you decided
to find time for me.
878
00:40:07,569 --> 00:40:09,571
Well, I wanted to make you
the last meeting,
879
00:40:09,612 --> 00:40:13,157
so I wouldn't have to tell you
that I'd have to think about it.
880
00:40:13,199 --> 00:40:15,201
- Either way.
- Considerate.
881
00:40:17,161 --> 00:40:19,038
Sure. That's what it is.
882
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:20,832
As I am considerate of those I vanquish.
883
00:40:20,873 --> 00:40:23,710
No reason to pull a full Angel Reese.
884
00:40:23,751 --> 00:40:26,254
[LAUGHS] I like her spunk and fire.
885
00:40:26,296 --> 00:40:27,964
Of course you do.
886
00:40:28,006 --> 00:40:29,757
When I played, I was more in the
887
00:40:29,799 --> 00:40:32,385
"just place the ball on the
baseline after you score" mode.
888
00:40:32,427 --> 00:40:34,929
That's what went in Indiana in the '90s.
889
00:40:36,306 --> 00:40:37,557
Different world now.
890
00:40:37,599 --> 00:40:39,100
Certain things, certain values,
891
00:40:39,142 --> 00:40:40,393
should remain constant.
892
00:40:41,093 --> 00:40:43,021
We aren't playing to an audience, Mike.
893
00:40:43,597 --> 00:40:44,981
What can you offer me?
894
00:40:47,775 --> 00:40:50,111
[LAUGHS] She is tough.
895
00:40:50,153 --> 00:40:51,529
And you definitely got to her.
896
00:40:51,571 --> 00:40:53,448
Sorry to make it so difficult.
897
00:40:53,489 --> 00:40:54,866
Yeah.
898
00:40:54,907 --> 00:40:57,285
Maybe we've each made it
as difficult for the other
899
00:40:57,327 --> 00:40:58,870
as we should.
900
00:40:58,911 --> 00:41:01,789
Maybe we try a different mode now.
901
00:41:02,999 --> 00:41:05,126
Say the thing you're dancing around.
902
00:41:05,168 --> 00:41:08,004
It's time to put this conflict to rest.
903
00:41:08,046 --> 00:41:09,714
By way of peace talks.
904
00:41:10,506 --> 00:41:12,508
Let's call them in.
905
00:41:12,550 --> 00:41:14,218
All of them.
906
00:41:17,055 --> 00:41:19,182
[CHUCK] You believe we've got
Dunlop where you want her?
907
00:41:19,223 --> 00:41:22,143
I believe she'll do exactly
what we need her to.
908
00:41:30,234 --> 00:41:34,405
In the old-timey thing,
the predominant king would, say,
909
00:41:34,447 --> 00:41:38,034
surrender his Northern troops,
give back some lands.
910
00:41:38,076 --> 00:41:39,410
Because he knew if the war went on,
911
00:41:39,452 --> 00:41:41,537
even in victory, it would be Pyrrhic...
912
00:41:42,622 --> 00:41:44,707
and that he could prevent
further bloodshed
913
00:41:44,749 --> 00:41:47,335
and loss on all sides by doing so.
914
00:41:47,377 --> 00:41:49,504
And what do great presidents do?
915
00:41:51,130 --> 00:41:54,050
Great presidents,
all great leaders, do the same.
916
00:41:54,092 --> 00:41:56,864
Dictate peace through strength.
917
00:41:56,899 --> 00:41:59,847
Great presidents?
Dreams of fucking grandeur.
918
00:41:59,889 --> 00:42:02,100
They should deal with traitors
harshly before that peace.
919
00:42:02,141 --> 00:42:04,018
Damn right they should.
You should, Mike.
920
00:42:04,060 --> 00:42:06,104
Yeah, that way
you'll finally be in charge,
921
00:42:06,145 --> 00:42:08,523
all by yourself,
just like you wanted from the start.
922
00:42:08,564 --> 00:42:10,066
That's what you think is driving him?
923
00:42:10,108 --> 00:42:12,193
That, or the nose-to-ass parades
924
00:42:12,235 --> 00:42:14,195
you've been such a prominent part of.
925
00:42:14,237 --> 00:42:15,488
Stockyard comment from a man
926
00:42:15,530 --> 00:42:16,739
whose mind is always in the trough.
927
00:42:16,781 --> 00:42:18,116
You're doing a lot of talking
928
00:42:18,157 --> 00:42:19,951
about strength, Mike.
929
00:42:21,035 --> 00:42:22,620
But only the king with the extra armies
930
00:42:22,662 --> 00:42:24,580
or allies or siege artillery,
931
00:42:24,622 --> 00:42:25,998
the fucking dreadnought weapons...
932
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:27,208
Those are the nukes
933
00:42:27,250 --> 00:42:28,960
he's so eager to play around with.
934
00:42:29,001 --> 00:42:30,837
Only the king with all that
935
00:42:30,878 --> 00:42:32,630
had the juice to dictate terms.
936
00:42:32,672 --> 00:42:34,674
But you?
937
00:42:34,716 --> 00:42:37,260
You just look like another
run-of-the-mill usurper
938
00:42:37,301 --> 00:42:39,095
scrapping for turf in this room.
939
00:42:39,137 --> 00:42:40,471
Hear, hear.
940
00:42:40,513 --> 00:42:41,806
So you think.
941
00:42:41,848 --> 00:42:43,808
Now, my information has Governor Dunlop
942
00:42:43,850 --> 00:42:47,103
reaffirming her own candidacy
for president tonight,
943
00:42:47,145 --> 00:42:50,106
with a big machine and a
lot of backing behind her.
944
00:42:50,148 --> 00:42:54,986
Mine too, which means you'll be
in a dogfight for the next year.
945
00:42:56,279 --> 00:42:58,281
I guess we'll soon see.
946
00:43:00,992 --> 00:43:02,410
It's time.
947
00:43:11,085 --> 00:43:13,212
Oh, fuck.
948
00:43:20,970 --> 00:43:22,472
Hello, everyone.
949
00:43:22,513 --> 00:43:24,891
No intros needed. You know who I am,
950
00:43:24,932 --> 00:43:28,478
and I know those of you
it's important to know.
951
00:43:28,519 --> 00:43:32,607
It's been a real kick doing
the roundy-round with you all.
952
00:43:34,484 --> 00:43:36,235
But I've made my decision...
953
00:43:39,906 --> 00:43:41,783
to not only throw my support
954
00:43:41,824 --> 00:43:44,368
behind our next president, Mike Prince,
955
00:43:44,410 --> 00:43:46,871
but to become his partner.
956
00:43:49,248 --> 00:43:51,334
His vice president.
957
00:43:51,375 --> 00:43:54,253
For the good of our country
and the whole world.
958
00:43:54,295 --> 00:43:55,838
Yeah. Like I said.
959
00:43:56,859 --> 00:43:58,800
At least you got a decent price.
960
00:43:58,841 --> 00:44:00,301
[PRINCE] Governor, thank you.
961
00:44:00,343 --> 00:44:02,011
I'll meet up with you shortly.
962
00:44:10,019 --> 00:44:11,959
Now, I know
what that's got to feel like.
963
00:44:11,994 --> 00:44:13,981
And that the tendency
for you, and for me,
964
00:44:14,023 --> 00:44:16,734
is to go on trying
to destroy each other.
965
00:44:16,776 --> 00:44:18,653
But it'll cost both sides,
966
00:44:18,694 --> 00:44:21,781
even though it's pretty clear
who'll win out here.
967
00:44:24,237 --> 00:44:26,669
Which is why I propose a peace treaty
968
00:44:26,704 --> 00:44:28,204
between our warring factions.
969
00:44:28,246 --> 00:44:31,207
- And what would that look like?
- [PRINCE] Like this:
970
00:44:31,249 --> 00:44:32,583
You, jointly and separately,
971
00:44:32,625 --> 00:44:35,336
will cease all further
and future attacks on me,
972
00:44:35,378 --> 00:44:37,338
my name, my candidacy,
973
00:44:37,380 --> 00:44:39,799
my personal life and
my business interests,
974
00:44:39,841 --> 00:44:41,592
which include my remaining personnel,
975
00:44:41,634 --> 00:44:42,927
which no longer includes anyone
976
00:44:42,969 --> 00:44:44,345
on that side of the table, by the way.
977
00:44:44,387 --> 00:44:46,138
In return, I will do the same,
978
00:44:46,180 --> 00:44:47,515
and when I become president,
979
00:44:47,557 --> 00:44:49,725
I pledge not to use any
government resources
980
00:44:49,767 --> 00:44:53,646
to persecute, prosecute,
fire or bankrupt any of you.

to the place where we all
admit this is the best deal
983

you're gonna get?
