1
00:00:01,209 --> 00:00:02,876
Previously on Billions.
2
00:00:02,877 --> 00:00:04,294
We got Nancy Dunlop
3
00:00:04,295 --> 00:00:05,504
burning up the track
ahead of us.
4
00:00:05,505 --> 00:00:07,089
- Hoot-hoot!
- Hoot-hoot!
5
00:00:07,090 --> 00:00:10,843
You are my beau ideal
of a presidential candidate.
6
00:00:10,844 --> 00:00:13,012
I want to talk about
how I can help you secure it.
7
00:00:13,013 --> 00:00:15,556
Your former man Winston
is shopping a new piece
8
00:00:15,557 --> 00:00:17,016
of risk-management software.
9
00:00:17,017 --> 00:00:18,726
You will surrender
the software immediately,
10
00:00:18,727 --> 00:00:20,978
as it is the property
of Michael Prince Capital.
11
00:00:20,979 --> 00:00:22,688
We know that Wags and Wendy
12
00:00:22,689 --> 00:00:24,773
were also with Taylor,
and went to Axelrod.
13
00:00:24,774 --> 00:00:26,358
So, if you try
anything, it won't be you
14
00:00:26,359 --> 00:00:28,360
who'll suffer,
it'll be Wendy Rhoades.
15
00:00:28,361 --> 00:00:30,904
With a new leadership structure
comes new opportunity,
16
00:00:30,905 --> 00:00:32,156
every rung of the ladder.
17
00:00:32,157 --> 00:00:33,615
It's gonna be a bloodbath.
18
00:00:36,494 --> 00:00:38,162
You see, this is the problem
19
00:00:38,163 --> 00:00:39,705
with squaring away
your enemies list.
20
00:00:39,706 --> 00:00:42,374
You wake up all your enemies
in the process.
21
00:00:42,375 --> 00:00:44,169
Welcome home, Bobby.
22
00:00:45,211 --> 00:00:46,420
Thank God you're here.
23
00:00:46,421 --> 00:00:48,630
Ain't that
the motherfucking truth.
24
00:00:48,631 --> 00:00:50,383
Now let's get to work.
25
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:58,074
api.OpenSubtitles.org is deprecated, please
implement REST API from OpenSubtitles.com
26
00:01:31,966 --> 00:01:34,510
I had skin like leather
27
00:01:34,511 --> 00:01:37,806
And the diamond-hard
Look of a cobra
28
00:01:40,183 --> 00:01:42,726
I was born Blue and weathered
29
00:01:42,727 --> 00:01:45,855
But I burst
Just like a supernova
30
00:01:48,066 --> 00:01:52,319
I could walk like Brando
Right into the sun
31
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:57,367
Then dance Just like a Casanova
32
00:01:58,535 --> 00:02:00,160
With my blackjack And jacket
33
00:02:00,161 --> 00:02:02,204
And my hair slicked sweet
34
00:02:02,205 --> 00:02:06,083
Silver star studs on my duds
Just like a Harley in heat
35
00:02:06,084 --> 00:02:10,546
When I strut down the street
I could hear its heart beat
36
00:02:10,547 --> 00:02:12,714
The sisters fell back And said
37
00:02:12,715 --> 00:02:14,716
"Don't that man Look pretty"
38
00:02:14,717 --> 00:02:17,386
The cripple on the corner
Cried out
39
00:02:17,387 --> 00:02:19,972
Hi, I just tried texting you.
40
00:02:19,973 --> 00:02:22,474
We up and running?
Everything going smooth?
41
00:02:22,475 --> 00:02:24,268
It's so hard to be a saint
42
00:02:24,269 --> 00:02:27,522
In the city
43
00:02:38,449 --> 00:02:40,160
Mike.
44
00:02:42,328 --> 00:02:44,288
You should have told me
you were coming
45
00:02:44,289 --> 00:02:46,456
so I could've had a strong,
fresh-brewed cup
46
00:02:46,457 --> 00:02:48,709
of get the fuck out
waiting for you.
47
00:02:48,710 --> 00:02:50,377
I'll leave.
48
00:02:50,378 --> 00:02:52,881
But first, let me tell you
how I spent yesterday.
49
00:03:01,764 --> 00:03:03,223
As per your
50
00:03:03,224 --> 00:03:05,142
"we're getting out of-slash-
poised to get out of"...
51
00:03:05,143 --> 00:03:07,102
I have orders at the ready
for our traders here
52
00:03:07,103 --> 00:03:08,979
to start unloading
at the opening bell, but...
53
00:03:08,980 --> 00:03:10,105
- Copy.
- You can't copy
54
00:03:10,106 --> 00:03:11,607
while there's a "but" out there.
55
00:03:11,608 --> 00:03:13,192
The but says, "Don't copy yet,
there's more to discuss."
56
00:03:13,193 --> 00:03:14,568
And the word "order,"
which you used,
57
00:03:14,569 --> 00:03:15,903
says there's nothing
left to discuss.
58
00:03:15,904 --> 00:03:17,362
It's the rock,
paper and scissors
59
00:03:17,363 --> 00:03:19,573
of organizational structure.
Get it done.
60
00:03:19,574 --> 00:03:21,241
You need to hear that we
are going to take a real hit,
61
00:03:21,242 --> 00:03:23,619
optics-wise and wallet-wise.
We will look scared.
62
00:03:23,620 --> 00:03:26,580
We are scared. Or at least
on guard, as is appropriate.
63
00:03:26,581 --> 00:03:28,665
There could be lawsuits
from our investors and LPs.
64
00:03:28,666 --> 00:03:30,000
Spyros and Sacker
have both flagged
65
00:03:30,001 --> 00:03:32,169
possible legal liability
if we really dump
66
00:03:32,170 --> 00:03:33,962
out of this stuff too quickly
and take losses.
67
00:03:33,963 --> 00:03:36,298
I understand all that, and will
deal with it when and if.
68
00:03:36,299 --> 00:03:40,135
So, yeah, you really have to
tell me to push the button and...
69
00:03:40,136 --> 00:03:41,678
I did.
That's what I said.
70
00:03:41,679 --> 00:03:42,930
In the heat of the moment, sure.
71
00:03:42,931 --> 00:03:44,348
But now,
in the calm of the after,
72
00:03:44,349 --> 00:03:46,266
maybe we do some
deep-breathing exercises,
73
00:03:46,267 --> 00:03:48,477
get that oxygenated blood
to sort of set our somatics
74
00:03:48,478 --> 00:03:50,479
back to normal,
and then review the decision
75
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:51,980
to basically have
a Korvettes-level
76
00:03:51,981 --> 00:03:53,565
"everything must go"
kind of fire sale.
77
00:03:53,566 --> 00:03:55,067
Somatic system, limbic system,
78
00:03:55,068 --> 00:03:56,985
brain waves
all functioning well.
79
00:03:56,986 --> 00:03:59,112
I had to push aside
all the emotional pain
80
00:03:59,113 --> 00:04:01,823
associated with this move to get
to a place of pure rationality.
81
00:04:01,824 --> 00:04:03,992
This is not a rash decision.
It's reasoned.
82
00:04:03,993 --> 00:04:06,161
I know, because
I don't want to do it.
83
00:04:06,162 --> 00:04:07,621
I don't want to do it.
You do.
84
00:04:07,622 --> 00:04:09,456
Leadership is pumping
the brakes on "want"
85
00:04:09,457 --> 00:04:12,376
and putting pedal to the floor
on that which needs to be done.
86
00:04:12,377 --> 00:04:14,169
You will structure
the liquidation
87
00:04:14,170 --> 00:04:15,838
and execute it at the open.
88
00:04:18,132 --> 00:04:19,676
I will.
89
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:21,969
Yes. Okay.
90
00:04:21,970 --> 00:04:23,595
Give me specifics.
What can we keep?
91
00:04:23,596 --> 00:04:25,722
You can't keep anything.
Get us flat.
92
00:04:25,723 --> 00:04:27,599
Everything becomes cash,
93
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,853
and exposure to Axelrod
and his attacks goes to zero.
94
00:04:31,771 --> 00:04:34,606
This is a guy
who's strip-mined towns,
95
00:04:34,607 --> 00:04:36,650
knocked out prominent families,
96
00:04:36,651 --> 00:04:38,694
taken over boards,
blown up firms,
97
00:04:38,695 --> 00:04:40,696
sabotaged thriving companies.
98
00:04:40,697 --> 00:04:42,364
Killed my ambassadorship.
99
00:04:42,365 --> 00:04:44,783
Zero.
100
00:04:44,784 --> 00:04:46,368
And that's not even
considering Rhoades
101
00:04:46,369 --> 00:04:48,161
and all the crud he has
the capacity to do to us.
102
00:04:48,162 --> 00:04:50,372
No, will stay out unless
and until we are bulletproof.
103
00:04:50,373 --> 00:04:53,792
Only after we establish
completely favorable conditions
104
00:04:53,793 --> 00:04:56,129
do we plow back in.
105
00:05:07,724 --> 00:05:10,142
Jumping out in front of it,
like Sauce Gardner.
106
00:05:10,143 --> 00:05:12,185
If you think I'm stopping there,
you don't know me.
107
00:05:12,186 --> 00:05:14,396
I know you.
I watch close.
108
00:05:14,397 --> 00:05:17,065
Yeah, I would imagine you do.
109
00:05:17,066 --> 00:05:18,567
Which is why
I was watching everything.
110
00:05:18,568 --> 00:05:21,069
All my people.
All the things they do.
111
00:05:21,070 --> 00:05:22,362
Everything.
112
00:05:22,363 --> 00:05:24,699
Yeah. You said.
113
00:05:25,950 --> 00:05:28,285
I guess it's always important
to keep a close eye
114
00:05:28,286 --> 00:05:30,871
when your people are really
your kidnap victims.
115
00:05:30,872 --> 00:05:32,372
No, Axe, not a close eye.
116
00:05:32,373 --> 00:05:34,333
A thousand eyes and ears,
117
00:05:34,334 --> 00:05:37,210
and the software
to make sense of it all.
118
00:05:37,211 --> 00:05:40,130
I stepped it up before I got
on that plane to come see you.
119
00:05:40,131 --> 00:05:42,174
He's back, as you can see.
We are back.
120
00:05:42,175 --> 00:05:43,800
Already up and running.
121
00:05:43,801 --> 00:05:46,595
I don't have to pitch you the
feeling of coming home, do I?
122
00:05:46,596 --> 00:05:48,347
I can see on your faces
123
00:05:48,348 --> 00:05:50,349
the effect
is already hitting you.
124
00:05:50,350 --> 00:05:53,977
Yeah. Emotions
are present, no doubt.
125
00:05:53,978 --> 00:05:55,395
Strong pull
to join forces again,
126
00:05:55,396 --> 00:05:57,398
but there are
other forces at play.
127
00:05:58,733 --> 00:05:59,900
Even more powerful.
128
00:05:59,901 --> 00:06:02,569
Fucking feelings
can't run this show.
129
00:06:02,570 --> 00:06:05,155
If they did, I'd be all day
coaching middle school baseball.
130
00:06:05,156 --> 00:06:07,449
You'll have time to
if you stay with Prince.
131
00:06:07,450 --> 00:06:09,826
Nothing else for you to do.
132
00:06:09,827 --> 00:06:11,453
He's pulling out of everything.
133
00:06:11,454 --> 00:06:13,080
How much did he consult you
about that?
134
00:06:13,081 --> 00:06:14,915
How much control
do you really have?
135
00:06:14,916 --> 00:06:17,501
How much do you want to be able
to control your destiny?
136
00:06:17,502 --> 00:06:20,462
I control my destiny.
We all do.
137
00:06:20,463 --> 00:06:23,131
By staying at a place
that isn't even making trades?
138
00:06:23,132 --> 00:06:25,967
A money market account,
not a hedge fund?
139
00:06:25,968 --> 00:06:27,344
We can't do what you did.
140
00:06:27,345 --> 00:06:29,388
We can't leave all we
worked for at risk,
141
00:06:29,389 --> 00:06:31,348
gated at a place
we've alienated.
142
00:06:31,349 --> 00:06:34,601
You can.
You just get past the money.
143
00:06:34,602 --> 00:06:38,188
You remember that risking it all
is what animates you.
144
00:06:38,189 --> 00:06:40,775
It is all that animates you.
Or it used to.
145
00:06:42,068 --> 00:06:43,694
What about you?
146
00:06:44,862 --> 00:06:47,031
You were never
just about the money.
147
00:06:51,494 --> 00:06:54,579
Me, 20 years ago,
would have said fuck yes.
148
00:06:54,580 --> 00:06:55,914
But now?
149
00:06:55,915 --> 00:06:57,582
I am too old.
150
00:06:57,583 --> 00:06:59,376
Don't go full Murtaugh.
151
00:06:59,377 --> 00:07:01,879
It's too depressing
from former warriors.
152
00:07:03,005 --> 00:07:04,256
Not being willing to lose
153
00:07:04,257 --> 00:07:05,465
everything I've made
154
00:07:05,466 --> 00:07:07,384
isn't the same as retirement.
155
00:07:07,385 --> 00:07:08,885
And Axe'll understand.
156
00:07:08,886 --> 00:07:11,430
He fucking taught us
to play the best hand
157
00:07:11,431 --> 00:07:13,014
to make the most money.
158
00:07:13,015 --> 00:07:14,599
Yeah.
159
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,768
We're there now,
at Prince Capital.
160
00:07:16,769 --> 00:07:19,729
All our money,
our whole fucking future.
161
00:07:19,730 --> 00:07:22,065
We gotta make this thing crush.
162
00:07:22,066 --> 00:07:24,192
Whether or not
he becomes president,
163
00:07:24,193 --> 00:07:27,321
our money is still
onboard there.
164
00:07:46,799 --> 00:07:49,510
It's a really nice office.
165
00:08:29,926 --> 00:08:31,885
We need Nancy Dunlop.
166
00:08:31,886 --> 00:08:33,053
Do we?
167
00:08:33,054 --> 00:08:34,471
I took her out at The Owl.
168
00:08:34,472 --> 00:08:36,223
Yes, and you got
Fourth Pike's support.
169
00:08:36,224 --> 00:08:38,433
But the rest of the country,
the parts that love her,
170
00:08:38,434 --> 00:08:39,684
weren't privy to that.
171
00:08:39,685 --> 00:08:41,228
Next step,
now that she's beaten,
172
00:08:41,229 --> 00:08:43,940
is for her to publicly declare
she's with you.
173
00:08:45,024 --> 00:08:47,567
I need the investment stuff here
resolved first.
174
00:08:47,568 --> 00:08:50,779
But, I get that you're
jonesing pretty hard over this,
175
00:08:50,780 --> 00:08:52,364
- so lay it out.
- Okay.
176
00:08:52,365 --> 00:08:54,032
First of all, she's in New York.
177
00:08:54,033 --> 00:08:55,242
And if you win her over,
178
00:08:55,243 --> 00:08:56,952
Dunlop turns her
organization over to us.
179
00:08:56,953 --> 00:08:59,037
That means her field operatives
around the country
180
00:08:59,038 --> 00:09:00,455
and the voter data.
181
00:09:00,456 --> 00:09:03,416
We get Montana and likely
the other Western states.
182
00:09:03,417 --> 00:09:06,711
This is the leading Democrat
giving you her troops
183
00:09:06,712 --> 00:09:07,963
and her endorsement.
184
00:09:07,964 --> 00:09:09,965
Email lists, donor lists,
185
00:09:09,966 --> 00:09:11,424
dark money orgs,
links to unions,
186
00:09:11,425 --> 00:09:13,051
lefty groups, grassroots.
187
00:09:13,052 --> 00:09:14,761
The keys
to the whole candy store.
188
00:09:14,762 --> 00:09:17,430
That's right. We wouldn't have
to build and stock our own.
189
00:09:17,431 --> 00:09:18,723
And once you have all that,
190
00:09:18,724 --> 00:09:20,976
you are the presumptive candidate.
191
00:09:20,977 --> 00:09:22,310
The front-runner.
192
00:09:22,311 --> 00:09:23,937
The presidential intelligence
briefings start,
193
00:09:23,938 --> 00:09:26,147
which will make you,
for all intents and purposes,
194
00:09:26,148 --> 00:09:27,357
the heir apparent.
195
00:09:27,358 --> 00:09:28,858
First time in the modern age
196
00:09:28,859 --> 00:09:32,029
an independent candidate
would be in that perch.
197
00:09:32,947 --> 00:09:34,239
I get it.
198
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,241
Book her for dinner,
but I'm not doing anything
199
00:09:36,242 --> 00:09:38,578
until the money
is taken care of here.
200
00:09:49,213 --> 00:09:50,463
I'll say this for you, Axe.
201
00:09:50,464 --> 00:09:52,966
You trained Dollar Bill
and Victor well.
202
00:09:52,967 --> 00:09:54,593
They did the right thing,
203
00:09:54,594 --> 00:09:56,803
like Henry Hill
after the Air France heist.
204
00:09:56,804 --> 00:10:00,307
They paid tribute.
They kicked up.
205
00:10:00,308 --> 00:10:02,601
The important thing is
we said no.
206
00:10:02,602 --> 00:10:05,021
Unequivocally. To Axe.
207
00:10:06,230 --> 00:10:07,522
We hardly even heard him out.
208
00:10:07,523 --> 00:10:09,232
Axe approached you,
you rebuffed him.
209
00:10:09,233 --> 00:10:10,609
This is the thing?
210
00:10:10,610 --> 00:10:12,277
- His proxy, yes.
- Taylor.
211
00:10:12,278 --> 00:10:15,196
Way we figure it, this is the
rocket ship we want to be on.
212
00:10:15,197 --> 00:10:16,573
And they came right to me.
213
00:10:16,574 --> 00:10:18,199
Didn't waffle. Didn't evade.
214
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:19,951
Didn't make us go to them.
Same with Rian.
215
00:10:19,952 --> 00:10:21,161
She emailed, though,
216
00:10:21,162 --> 00:10:22,872
said she's not
in a talking mood.
217
00:10:29,712 --> 00:10:31,963
Good.
These are the trusteds.
218
00:10:31,964 --> 00:10:33,131
You all are.
219
00:10:33,132 --> 00:10:34,716
So start finding me
base hit trades.
220
00:10:34,717 --> 00:10:37,677
Singles and doubles only,
with predefined exits.
221
00:10:37,678 --> 00:10:40,305
When we go back in,
it'll be a big, concerted move.
222
00:10:40,306 --> 00:10:41,848
Only moves worth making.
223
00:10:41,849 --> 00:10:43,642
I've got some ideas,
stuff I'm looking at.
224
00:10:43,643 --> 00:10:45,226
- We start with...
- But not yet.
225
00:10:45,227 --> 00:10:47,688
Not until I'm bulletproof.
226
00:10:48,856 --> 00:10:51,108
Prepare. But don't act.
227
00:11:02,370 --> 00:11:04,497
How come you two
didn't run to me or Philip?
228
00:11:06,791 --> 00:11:11,336
These... these two
are good guys and good earners.
229
00:11:11,337 --> 00:11:14,006
And they weren't even there.
Didn't go see him.
230
00:11:16,217 --> 00:11:18,551
- It's true what he says.
- But they were invited.
231
00:11:18,552 --> 00:11:20,388
You were, weren't you?
232
00:11:21,806 --> 00:11:23,014
You were touched,
233
00:11:23,015 --> 00:11:25,768
invited to go hear a pitch
from Axe Global.
234
00:11:27,603 --> 00:11:29,146
You didn't report it.
235
00:11:30,231 --> 00:11:31,648
We also didn't go.
236
00:11:31,649 --> 00:11:33,358
As Dollar Bill said.
237
00:11:33,359 --> 00:11:34,818
Because your feelings
ran so deep
238
00:11:34,819 --> 00:11:36,319
you couldn't
bear passing in person?
239
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,446
You knew if you looked upon him
you would submit.
240
00:11:38,447 --> 00:11:40,491
Is that right?
241
00:11:42,034 --> 00:11:45,204
- Sounds right.
- I said it, so, yeah.
242
00:11:46,622 --> 00:11:47,998
It is.
243
00:11:52,086 --> 00:11:53,795
But we didn't go.
244
00:11:53,796 --> 00:11:56,172
We're not the bad guys here.
245
00:11:56,173 --> 00:11:58,384
Nope. You're not.
246
00:12:00,845 --> 00:12:02,053
But so what?
247
00:12:02,054 --> 00:12:04,889
Good guys, good earners.
Go join a 4H club.
248
00:12:04,890 --> 00:12:07,268
I'll find more.
You're both fired.
249
00:12:08,352 --> 00:12:09,686
What the fuck?
250
00:12:09,687 --> 00:12:11,521
These emotions you have
can be played in ways
251
00:12:11,522 --> 00:12:12,897
you aren't even
gonna be aware of.
252
00:12:12,898 --> 00:12:16,277
You're a risk to me.
Or were. Goodbye.
253
00:12:42,845 --> 00:12:46,347
You understand why Prince
had to let Ben Kim and Tuk go.
254
00:12:46,348 --> 00:12:48,767
I understood what the man said.
255
00:12:48,768 --> 00:12:50,226
Is that how you
would have handled it?
256
00:12:50,227 --> 00:12:51,436
I don't know,
257
00:12:51,437 --> 00:12:53,022
but I saw the logic
of it instantly.
258
00:12:53,981 --> 00:12:55,441
Do you ever disagree?
259
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:57,567
If you do, does he listen?
260
00:12:57,568 --> 00:12:59,152
We communicate all day long
261
00:12:59,153 --> 00:13:00,445
in ways verbal and otherwise.
262
00:13:00,446 --> 00:13:01,738
He knows where I stand.
263
00:13:01,739 --> 00:13:03,573
And that'll carry over
to Washington?
264
00:13:03,574 --> 00:13:05,492
- That's the plan.
- You're good with that?
265
00:13:05,493 --> 00:13:07,577
You see him in the chair?
266
00:13:07,578 --> 00:13:09,078
You have doubts?
267
00:13:09,079 --> 00:13:12,165
No. I just like him here,
steering this big boy of a ship.
268
00:13:12,166 --> 00:13:14,375
You will still feel his
steady hand on the rudder
269
00:13:14,376 --> 00:13:17,420
whenever you fear
you might lose control of it.
270
00:13:17,421 --> 00:13:18,671
But you won't need that.
271
00:13:18,672 --> 00:13:20,674
By then, you will be
fully ready.
272
00:13:21,550 --> 00:13:22,927
Yes, sir.
273
00:13:23,928 --> 00:13:25,136
That's how you feel, isn't it?
274
00:13:25,137 --> 00:13:26,679
Solid with all this right now?
275
00:13:26,680 --> 00:13:28,848
As a slab
of Carrara marble, Unc.
276
00:13:28,849 --> 00:13:31,059
And you can get done
what you need to
277
00:13:31,060 --> 00:13:32,852
with the personnel left
at your disposal?
278
00:13:32,853 --> 00:13:34,187
Not a problem.
279
00:13:34,188 --> 00:13:35,606
Good.
280
00:13:42,655 --> 00:13:44,739
Sadly, your move to hire back
281
00:13:44,740 --> 00:13:46,699
your people out
from under me failed,
282
00:13:46,700 --> 00:13:48,535
like nearly everything
you've tried lately.
283
00:13:48,536 --> 00:13:51,247
Not everything, Mike?
284
00:13:55,167 --> 00:13:56,585
Where you headed?
285
00:13:58,003 --> 00:13:59,462
Call me for the next
campaign event.
286
00:13:59,463 --> 00:14:01,339
I'll live up
to my end of the agreement.
287
00:14:01,340 --> 00:14:03,466
Till then, I'll be
bouldering in the 'Gunks.
288
00:14:03,467 --> 00:14:05,219
With Derek?
289
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,430
Now you're not talking?
290
00:14:09,515 --> 00:14:11,224
Don't, Mike.
291
00:14:11,225 --> 00:14:13,226
We're don't ask,
don't tell again?
292
00:14:13,227 --> 00:14:15,687
We agreed to pause the
arrangement during the campaign.
293
00:14:15,688 --> 00:14:19,400
That agreement got overridden
by certain other actions.
294
00:14:21,485 --> 00:14:23,320
Tell me I'm wrong.
295
00:14:24,321 --> 00:14:26,531
This can be used against me.
296
00:14:26,532 --> 00:14:28,324
It has been.
297
00:14:28,325 --> 00:14:31,662
Which raises the question
of who did what first?
298
00:14:32,788 --> 00:14:34,790
Not a question
I'm interested in.
299
00:14:35,666 --> 00:14:37,125
So I'm going off the grid.
300
00:14:37,126 --> 00:14:39,878
Nothing will be known,
nothing will be raised,
301
00:14:39,879 --> 00:14:42,297
nothing will be written.
302
00:14:42,298 --> 00:14:44,299
I'm just gonna go do my thing,
303
00:14:44,300 --> 00:14:46,927
while you continue to do yours.
304
00:14:47,803 --> 00:14:49,179
As always.
305
00:14:57,146 --> 00:14:58,606
Derek sent a picture.
306
00:15:00,149 --> 00:15:01,608
Big rocks.
307
00:15:01,609 --> 00:15:03,651
Don't get too excited.
308
00:15:03,652 --> 00:15:05,320
I kept my focus on business.
309
00:15:05,321 --> 00:15:07,322
There's a matter
I need to read you in on.
310
00:15:07,323 --> 00:15:10,993
But first, did you handle
the prior matter? Winston?
311
00:15:14,079 --> 00:15:16,916
"Bring me my Bow
of burning gold:
312
00:15:18,042 --> 00:15:21,044
Bring me my Arrows of desire:
313
00:15:21,045 --> 00:15:23,379
Bring me my Spear:
314
00:15:23,380 --> 00:15:25,673
O clouds unfold!
315
00:15:25,674 --> 00:15:29,053
Bring me my Chariot of fire!"
316
00:15:30,179 --> 00:15:32,639
Do I need a bow,
a spear, a chariot?
317
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,267
Nay, we just need
your algorithm.
318
00:15:36,268 --> 00:15:40,605
You know, ChatGPT-4 can adjust
the tone of the words it uses
319
00:15:40,606 --> 00:15:42,732
to meet the vernacular
of the questioner.
320
00:15:42,733 --> 00:15:44,692
Some humans can do same.
321
00:15:44,693 --> 00:15:46,444
Let me try.
322
00:15:46,445 --> 00:15:49,155
Reviewing contents
of entire Internet.
323
00:15:49,156 --> 00:15:51,616
Matching your inane
turn of phrase.
324
00:15:51,617 --> 00:15:53,868
And, yes, locked in.
325
00:15:53,869 --> 00:15:55,620
Let's try this:
326
00:15:55,621 --> 00:15:57,747
"So you ride yourselves
over the fields
327
00:15:57,748 --> 00:16:00,541
and you make
all your animal deals,
328
00:16:00,542 --> 00:16:03,962
and your wise men
don't know how it feels
329
00:16:03,963 --> 00:16:06,548
to be thick as a brick."
330
00:16:07,299 --> 00:16:08,549
Yeah, that works.
331
00:16:08,550 --> 00:16:10,593
The Tull.
332
00:16:10,594 --> 00:16:13,638
Love it, love it, loave it.
333
00:16:13,639 --> 00:16:15,723
Thick as a brick.
334
00:16:15,724 --> 00:16:17,350
Hard no on that.
335
00:16:17,351 --> 00:16:19,102
I can set an after-school
playdate for you two
336
00:16:19,103 --> 00:16:21,020
to continue along these
engaging lines, but first...
337
00:16:21,021 --> 00:16:23,064
What I'm pointing out
is he must be thick as a brick
338
00:16:23,065 --> 00:16:26,401
to ask for what he and you
and this place already have:
339
00:16:26,402 --> 00:16:27,568
my algo.
340
00:16:27,569 --> 00:16:28,736
No, I got it,
341
00:16:28,737 --> 00:16:30,279
but what we need specifically
342
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,449
is for you to reset
the parameters on the risk algo.
343
00:16:33,450 --> 00:16:36,285
Dial back profit
as prime objective temporarily
344
00:16:36,286 --> 00:16:38,246
in order to really
protect downside.
345
00:16:38,247 --> 00:16:41,249
Yeah, that kind of adjustment
is not in the deal.
346
00:16:41,250 --> 00:16:44,168
The spirit of the arrangement
we made, Winston, should...
347
00:16:44,169 --> 00:16:45,753
I'm more
a "letter of the contract"
348
00:16:45,754 --> 00:16:47,463
sort of guy, you know?
So...
349
00:16:47,464 --> 00:16:51,634
"The letter killeth,
but the spirit giveth life."
350
00:16:51,635 --> 00:16:55,346
That's some New Testament shit,
you hear me?
351
00:16:55,347 --> 00:16:56,889
I see it like this.
352
00:16:56,890 --> 00:16:59,225
I could remind you of
all the various and sundry ways
353
00:16:59,226 --> 00:17:01,060
that I could ruin your life.
354
00:17:01,061 --> 00:17:03,271
Or I could treat you
like a valued,
355
00:17:03,272 --> 00:17:06,566
important and brilliant
member of the team,
356
00:17:06,567 --> 00:17:08,109
being asked to roll up
the sleeves.
357
00:17:08,110 --> 00:17:09,902
It's not about
the work it'll take.
358
00:17:09,903 --> 00:17:12,572
That's fine. I'm Wozniak on
'roids up in this motherfucker.
359
00:17:12,573 --> 00:17:15,158
Nope. It's about ego.
360
00:17:15,159 --> 00:17:16,409
You just said that.
361
00:17:16,410 --> 00:17:18,661
Ego, which translates
into dollars.
362
00:17:18,662 --> 00:17:20,747
The whole thing is,
I am in the process
363
00:17:20,748 --> 00:17:22,290
of careering
off of this algorithm,
364
00:17:22,291 --> 00:17:23,708
and for that to be the case,
365
00:17:23,709 --> 00:17:25,251
I need it to be
a money-making machine.
366
00:17:25,252 --> 00:17:27,170
- Which it is.
- I get it.
367
00:17:27,171 --> 00:17:29,464
So, what dollar figure
would you attach
368
00:17:29,465 --> 00:17:31,132
to the sublimation of that ego
369
00:17:31,133 --> 00:17:34,635
in order for us to get
what we need right now?
370
00:17:34,636 --> 00:17:37,847
It's a seven-figure number
that starts with "Shit!"
371
00:17:37,848 --> 00:17:39,891
That'll be fine.
372
00:17:39,892 --> 00:17:42,769
Get started today. Now.
373
00:17:42,770 --> 00:17:44,520
We have a time frame.
374
00:17:44,521 --> 00:17:46,355
It's right fucking now.
375
00:17:46,356 --> 00:17:47,940
That's not what I'm here
to walk through.
376
00:17:47,941 --> 00:17:50,860
Well, can it wait?
Today is about the money first.
377
00:17:50,861 --> 00:17:52,862
This is about the money.
378
00:17:52,863 --> 00:17:55,740
I expected Chuck
would be strategizing
379
00:17:55,741 --> 00:17:57,116
with former Axe Cappers.
380
00:17:57,117 --> 00:17:58,326
Didn't know where else
381
00:17:58,327 --> 00:17:59,702
the radar blip would come from,
382
00:17:59,703 --> 00:18:01,163
but I was ready.
383
00:18:05,751 --> 00:18:08,461
Based on the binder Chuck
has so graciously provided,
384
00:18:08,462 --> 00:18:11,506
we have a pretty good overview
of Prince's private holdings.
385
00:18:11,507 --> 00:18:14,425
Now this brain trust
can lay out an attack plan.
386
00:18:14,426 --> 00:18:17,053
Best targets in my opinion
are the restaurant group,
387
00:18:17,054 --> 00:18:19,514
the meat-processing plants,
clothing chains,
388
00:18:19,515 --> 00:18:21,182
and auto parts manufacturers.
389
00:18:21,183 --> 00:18:22,642
Hey, do you mind if I burn one?
390
00:18:22,643 --> 00:18:23,851
I do mind.
391
00:18:23,852 --> 00:18:26,729
Whomsoever ordered these, whoa.
392
00:18:26,730 --> 00:18:29,023
Well, it's Kensington Deli, so...
393
00:18:29,024 --> 00:18:32,151
Hey, let's lay out
how to attack this shit.
394
00:18:32,152 --> 00:18:34,112
All are vulnerable
to misinformation,
395
00:18:34,113 --> 00:18:36,656
disinformation,
false information,
396
00:18:36,657 --> 00:18:39,659
all designed to drive
the enterprise value down.
397
00:18:39,660 --> 00:18:42,995
Once the balance sheets start
to wobble, it just gets easier.
398
00:18:42,996 --> 00:18:44,872
There's also
sabotage from within.
399
00:18:44,873 --> 00:18:48,292
Infiltrate personnel in
to encourage internal conflict.
400
00:18:48,293 --> 00:18:50,336
Disputes among
the management team.
401
00:18:50,337 --> 00:18:52,338
Create divisions
between employees.
402
00:18:52,339 --> 00:18:54,048
Foster a toxic work environment.
403
00:18:54,049 --> 00:18:55,758
I, for one, know how
debilitating that can be.
404
00:18:55,759 --> 00:18:58,052
It really does lead
to decreased productivity
405
00:18:58,053 --> 00:18:59,428
and a weakened company culture.
406
00:18:59,429 --> 00:19:00,805
You sure I can't burn one?
407
00:19:00,806 --> 00:19:02,348
I'll blow the smoke
out of the window.
408
00:19:02,349 --> 00:19:04,143
It makes my synapses
fire faster.
409
00:19:06,019 --> 00:19:07,687
I know that's not
what it typically does,
410
00:19:07,688 --> 00:19:11,232
but my doctor says I have
a paradoxical reaction to weed.
411
00:19:11,233 --> 00:19:12,942
Your doctor says that?
412
00:19:12,943 --> 00:19:14,986
I mean, she's not
technically a doctor.
413
00:19:14,987 --> 00:19:16,320
More of a spirit walker.
414
00:19:16,321 --> 00:19:17,697
Answer's still no.
415
00:19:17,698 --> 00:19:20,408
There are also
poison pill strategies.
416
00:19:20,409 --> 00:19:23,411
Clandestinely encourage
unethical business practices.
417
00:19:23,412 --> 00:19:25,204
- Bribery, you mean?
- Sure.
418
00:19:25,205 --> 00:19:26,747
If you want
to get earthy about it.
419
00:19:26,748 --> 00:19:29,292
Which you fellas could then
investigate and announce.
420
00:19:29,293 --> 00:19:31,544
And legal entanglements.
421
00:19:31,545 --> 00:19:34,172
Lawsuits designed
to tie up their resources
422
00:19:34,173 --> 00:19:35,631
in lengthy battles
that distract them
423
00:19:35,632 --> 00:19:37,801
from their core
business operations.
424
00:19:44,224 --> 00:19:46,475
Amanda, you have
a grand jury suit?
425
00:19:46,476 --> 00:19:49,312
'Cause you're gonna need it.
Lots of appearances coming up.
426
00:19:49,313 --> 00:19:52,273
We've stumbled upon a whole
bunch of dirty companies,
427
00:19:52,274 --> 00:19:53,649
as you see.
428
00:19:53,650 --> 00:19:57,195
You're going to probably need
more than one.
429
00:19:57,196 --> 00:19:58,654
Try something without stripes.
430
00:19:58,655 --> 00:20:00,948
- They moiré.
- And get it quick.
431
00:20:00,949 --> 00:20:03,701
Grand jury's open,
and we're going with a long list
432
00:20:03,702 --> 00:20:05,203
of charges
against these companies.
433
00:20:05,204 --> 00:20:06,454
We expect indictments.
434
00:20:06,455 --> 00:20:07,830
You want me to suit up
435
00:20:07,831 --> 00:20:09,624
for something
we're six months away on?
436
00:20:09,625 --> 00:20:11,417
Six months? No.
437
00:20:11,418 --> 00:20:12,960
We're announcing these investigations
438
00:20:12,961 --> 00:20:14,838
and coming charges tomorrow.
439
00:20:16,256 --> 00:20:18,382
All of these companies
are owned by Michael Prince,
440
00:20:18,383 --> 00:20:19,675
or his subsidiaries.
441
00:20:19,676 --> 00:20:21,010
That's right.
442
00:20:21,011 --> 00:20:23,054
We hurt the companies,
and we hurt Prince.
443
00:20:23,055 --> 00:20:24,931
- Badly.
- Tag the companies as bad.
444
00:20:24,932 --> 00:20:26,307
Ruin them without knowing
445
00:20:26,308 --> 00:20:27,767
if anything criminal
actually happened.
446
00:20:27,768 --> 00:20:30,436
Do the investigation
after the fact.
447
00:20:30,437 --> 00:20:33,356
I plan on using the power
of this office to its fullest,
448
00:20:33,357 --> 00:20:34,857
and I expect you to do the same.
449
00:20:34,858 --> 00:20:37,109
Otherwise it is wasted on you,
450
00:20:37,110 --> 00:20:39,904
and will be given to someone
not so easily offended.
451
00:20:39,905 --> 00:20:42,448
You don't see me
clutching my pearls.
452
00:20:42,449 --> 00:20:43,950
I don't even own any.
453
00:20:43,951 --> 00:20:46,285
Guys, there is
an order to things.
454
00:20:46,286 --> 00:20:49,997
Learn of a crime, investigate,
confirm, announce,
455
00:20:49,998 --> 00:20:53,084
so that only companies
that are bad actors are hurt.
456
00:20:53,085 --> 00:20:55,670
And I assure you
we will find crimes.
457
00:20:55,671 --> 00:20:58,507
Fruit of a poison tree
called Michael Prince.
458
00:21:00,550 --> 00:21:01,926
You're okay with this?
459
00:21:01,927 --> 00:21:03,511
We have enough to start.
460
00:21:03,512 --> 00:21:06,390
And I will slumber
like a wee babe tonight.
461
00:21:07,808 --> 00:21:09,183
While I will sleep as always:
462
00:21:09,184 --> 00:21:11,269
deeply, but only 20 minutes
at a time.
463
00:21:11,270 --> 00:21:14,606
But, yes,
free of moral paroxysms.
464
00:21:16,358 --> 00:21:19,360
There are thousands of employees
at these companies.
465
00:21:19,361 --> 00:21:22,196
Working people who will not be
once we start this.
466
00:21:22,197 --> 00:21:24,907
When one man rises
to this level of threat,
467
00:21:24,908 --> 00:21:27,577
that is the way the system
must be used.
468
00:21:32,582 --> 00:21:34,083
You're not in law school anymore.
469
00:21:34,084 --> 00:21:35,752
This is the show.
470
00:21:36,878 --> 00:21:38,754
So you have two choices,
Miss Torre.
471
00:21:38,755 --> 00:21:40,631
You can do your job
and write the briefs
472
00:21:40,632 --> 00:21:43,676
and stand with us as we announce
these investigations tomorrow,
473
00:21:43,677 --> 00:21:46,305
or be complicit.
474
00:22:11,413 --> 00:22:14,082
Is it just us, or are we
waiting for the Third Man?
475
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,335
You can almost hear
the footsteps.
476
00:22:17,336 --> 00:22:21,172
What you said.
About Chuck showing who he is.
477
00:22:21,173 --> 00:22:22,715
It fucking happened.
478
00:22:22,716 --> 00:22:23,966
Tell me.
479
00:22:23,967 --> 00:22:25,259
The three of them.
480
00:22:25,260 --> 00:22:26,635
Him and Ira and Allerd,
481
00:22:26,636 --> 00:22:28,679
they all line up together
and expect what from me?
482
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,097
Obedience? Fealty?
483
00:22:30,098 --> 00:22:32,308
I need the thing, not your
feelings about the thing.
484
00:22:32,309 --> 00:22:34,602
He's got a list of Prince's
private companies.
485
00:22:34,603 --> 00:22:36,270
Investigations
to be announced tomorrow.
486
00:22:36,271 --> 00:22:37,521
There's nothing there.
487
00:22:37,522 --> 00:22:38,939
I may not be voting
for your boss,
488
00:22:38,940 --> 00:22:40,566
but he's as far from a crime
489
00:22:40,567 --> 00:22:43,277
as I am from starring
in a Black Swan remake.
490
00:22:43,278 --> 00:22:44,820
Don't have the dance moves?
491
00:22:44,821 --> 00:22:46,907
My jeté is for shit.
492
00:22:47,783 --> 00:22:50,077
The targets.
And how targeted.
493
00:22:53,622 --> 00:22:54,705
Wow.
494
00:22:54,706 --> 00:22:56,082
I can't stop
these investigations,
495
00:22:56,083 --> 00:22:57,500
or the announcements
that are coming.
496
00:22:57,501 --> 00:22:59,460
I can't stop him.
497
00:22:59,461 --> 00:23:02,464
But I can at least knock the
intended victim out of the way.
498
00:23:15,519 --> 00:23:18,896
So, yeah, I have a source
and some documentation.
499
00:23:18,897 --> 00:23:21,148
I know how Chuck
is gonna attack, and where.
500
00:23:21,149 --> 00:23:24,276
Who's the source?
How close? How good? And who?
501
00:23:24,277 --> 00:23:25,861
Close. All I can say.
502
00:23:25,862 --> 00:23:27,446
Without the specific name,
503
00:23:27,447 --> 00:23:29,573
it's hard for me to put
confidence in the information.
504
00:23:29,574 --> 00:23:31,242
I understand
what you're thinking...
505
00:23:31,243 --> 00:23:33,285
That Chuck might want you
to know he's investigating
506
00:23:33,286 --> 00:23:35,162
to induce a reaction,
but I can't tell you.
507
00:23:35,163 --> 00:23:36,622
For the source's sake.
508
00:23:36,623 --> 00:23:39,543
Nice of you to protect
Amanda Torre from SDNY.
509
00:23:41,336 --> 00:23:42,795
Shit.
510
00:23:42,796 --> 00:23:45,507
So those footsteps.
I wasn't just hearing things.
511
00:23:47,926 --> 00:23:49,385
Smart. Trust no one.
512
00:23:49,386 --> 00:23:51,512
I don't even know
who they're tracking or when.
513
00:23:51,513 --> 00:23:53,055
I just look
at what they send me.
514
00:23:53,056 --> 00:23:55,099
It's that same prudence
that makes me suggest
515
00:23:55,100 --> 00:23:58,394
you sell out your positions
even in these private companies.
516
00:23:58,395 --> 00:24:00,187
All your private
equity positions.
517
00:24:00,188 --> 00:24:01,522
Unless he wants us to do that.
518
00:24:01,523 --> 00:24:03,107
Unless that won't be enough.
519
00:24:03,108 --> 00:24:05,943
It all depends on how many steps
from the idiot he thinks I am,
520
00:24:05,944 --> 00:24:08,612
and he presumes I think he is.
521
00:24:10,532 --> 00:24:11,824
I-I need a whiteboard.
522
00:24:11,825 --> 00:24:13,659
Dunlop just texted me, Mike.
523
00:24:13,660 --> 00:24:15,286
She needs to push your dinner.
524
00:24:15,287 --> 00:24:17,872
- Tomorrow?
- "Heading back home.
525
00:24:17,873 --> 00:24:20,000
Next trip should be soon."
526
00:24:28,675 --> 00:24:30,092
Herbert Yardley.
Know the name?
527
00:24:30,093 --> 00:24:31,510
WWII codebreaker.
528
00:24:31,511 --> 00:24:36,265
And wrote the first
great poker strategy book.
529
00:24:36,266 --> 00:24:39,268
In it, he kind of invents
game theory.
530
00:24:39,269 --> 00:24:42,021
Now the example we use to figure
this out is the quarterback,
531
00:24:42,022 --> 00:24:44,315
because in order
to defend against him,
532
00:24:44,316 --> 00:24:47,485
you need to figure out
how many steps removed
533
00:24:47,486 --> 00:24:49,320
from the idiot he is.
534
00:24:49,321 --> 00:24:52,406
An idiot quarterback
looks directly
535
00:24:52,407 --> 00:24:54,450
at the man he throws to.
536
00:24:54,451 --> 00:24:57,244
Now, what do you do if you're
the middle linebacker, Kate?
537
00:24:57,245 --> 00:24:59,955
Jump into the path of the ball,
just go where he's looking
538
00:24:59,956 --> 00:25:01,332
and intercept the pass.
539
00:25:01,333 --> 00:25:02,750
And if he's one step removed,
540
00:25:02,751 --> 00:25:07,213
if he looks left
but throws right each time.
541
00:25:07,214 --> 00:25:09,548
- Also easy to defend.
- Sure.
542
00:25:09,549 --> 00:25:11,967
You go to the opposite of his
eyes and intercept the pass.
543
00:25:11,968 --> 00:25:13,427
But... and this is where the idea
544
00:25:13,428 --> 00:25:15,971
of un-exploitable play
comes from...
545
00:25:15,972 --> 00:25:17,806
If he knows you're running
this thought process,
546
00:25:17,807 --> 00:25:20,684
he can figure how many steps
removed you think he is,
547
00:25:20,685 --> 00:25:24,146
and he can go eight
or nine steps further out.
548
00:25:24,147 --> 00:25:27,359
Chuck is going to announce
an investigation...
549
00:25:28,276 --> 00:25:29,401
so I sell.
550
00:25:29,402 --> 00:25:32,906
But he wants me to know,
so I don't sell.
551
00:25:34,199 --> 00:25:36,408
But he knows I know,
552
00:25:36,409 --> 00:25:38,744
so he doesn't really
want me to sell.
553
00:25:38,745 --> 00:25:40,539
On and on.
554
00:25:43,250 --> 00:25:45,084
Now the question is,
555
00:25:45,085 --> 00:25:47,586
how many degrees from the idiot
does he think I am?
556
00:25:47,587 --> 00:25:49,463
How many is he?
557
00:25:49,464 --> 00:25:51,675
That's what I need
to figure, right?
558
00:25:53,635 --> 00:25:55,135
No.
559
00:25:58,431 --> 00:26:00,391
Good. Good.
560
00:26:00,392 --> 00:26:03,018
That's what he wants me
spending my time on.
561
00:26:03,019 --> 00:26:06,188
Sorting out the financial attack
he and Axe are planning.
562
00:26:06,189 --> 00:26:08,691
He wants all my focus
on that flank,
563
00:26:08,692 --> 00:26:11,444
ignoring the front where the war
is really taking place.
564
00:26:13,196 --> 00:26:15,364
Shoot.
Get back to Dunlop.
565
00:26:15,365 --> 00:26:16,824
Tell her to be
at my house tonight
566
00:26:16,825 --> 00:26:18,576
after whatever she's doing.
567
00:26:18,577 --> 00:26:20,286
Demand it.
568
00:26:20,287 --> 00:26:23,623
She doesn't leave the isle
of Manhattan before we meet.
569
00:26:24,666 --> 00:26:26,000
That's what you counted on.
570
00:26:26,001 --> 00:26:28,210
Getting me all caught up
in your frontal attack
571
00:26:28,211 --> 00:26:29,920
so I'd miss the real play:
572
00:26:29,921 --> 00:26:32,506
winning Governor Dunlop
and her support.
573
00:26:32,507 --> 00:26:33,841
But you see,
574
00:26:33,842 --> 00:26:36,844
I remembered what was most
important to me:
575
00:26:36,845 --> 00:26:39,513
the presidency,
and how to get there.
576
00:26:39,514 --> 00:26:42,224
I think you know she hasn't
made her announcement yet.
577
00:26:42,225 --> 00:26:45,519
No, but I think I know
what it's gonna be.
578
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:46,937
Do you?
579
00:26:46,938 --> 00:26:49,482
Well, then you should know
what I did yesterday, Mike.
580
00:27:03,538 --> 00:27:05,998
So this is where
the magic happens.
581
00:27:05,999 --> 00:27:09,627
Never could make the elephant
disappear when it came to you.
582
00:27:09,628 --> 00:27:11,337
But yeah, this is the place.
583
00:27:11,338 --> 00:27:14,173
Though as you know,
the usual weapons of this office
584
00:27:14,174 --> 00:27:18,261
are also coming up short
against Prince.
585
00:27:19,346 --> 00:27:21,306
All right, well,
let's get into it.
586
00:27:22,474 --> 00:27:23,682
Do your thing, Wend.
587
00:27:23,683 --> 00:27:25,976
We're dealing with an ambitious,
588
00:27:25,977 --> 00:27:28,354
competitive, confident,
589
00:27:28,355 --> 00:27:31,857
charismatic, socially conscious
strategic thinker
590
00:27:31,858 --> 00:27:34,985
with high emotional intelligence
and deep resources.
591
00:27:34,986 --> 00:27:36,403
Jeez, it's a wonder
I even thought
592
00:27:36,404 --> 00:27:37,905
to come back for this fight.
593
00:27:37,906 --> 00:27:39,698
Or even why I get out of bed
in the morning.
594
00:27:39,699 --> 00:27:41,575
But he's morally complex,
595
00:27:41,576 --> 00:27:44,036
which means he likes to think
he's more ethical
596
00:27:44,037 --> 00:27:45,496
than those around him.
597
00:27:45,497 --> 00:27:47,081
And he is not immune
from engaging
598
00:27:47,082 --> 00:27:48,874
in questionable tactics
to achieve his goals.
599
00:27:48,875 --> 00:27:52,503
That is a slippery slope,
and one place he can be hit.
600
00:27:52,504 --> 00:27:56,549
And he believes in his own
infallibility above all else.
601
00:27:57,300 --> 00:27:58,634
Something you fell prey to
602
00:27:58,635 --> 00:28:00,094
that last time you tangled
with the man.
603
00:28:00,095 --> 00:28:02,638
I thought my play
was un-exploitable.
604
00:28:02,639 --> 00:28:05,641
Until you found out that any
approach can be exploited
605
00:28:05,642 --> 00:28:07,102
if it becomes known.
606
00:28:08,269 --> 00:28:10,396
He's going to cash
with everything.
607
00:28:10,397 --> 00:28:11,980
Whole Street's talking about it.
608
00:28:11,981 --> 00:28:13,774
It's untenable.
609
00:28:13,775 --> 00:28:15,734
He's probably looking
for some sort of hard reset
610
00:28:15,735 --> 00:28:18,112
to make sure we're not already
in his holdings.
611
00:28:18,113 --> 00:28:19,863
He'll have to buy back in fast.
612
00:28:19,864 --> 00:28:23,283
Nobody wants to pay him
two and twenty to sit in cash.
613
00:28:23,284 --> 00:28:24,660
How long does he have?
614
00:28:24,661 --> 00:28:26,370
A few days, max.
615
00:28:26,371 --> 00:28:28,997
He'll try to massage
his investors, his employees,
616
00:28:28,998 --> 00:28:30,457
but he smells the attack.
617
00:28:30,458 --> 00:28:31,834
He knows we want to hurt him.
618
00:28:31,835 --> 00:28:33,669
Hurt? No. Annihilate.
619
00:28:33,670 --> 00:28:36,380
Send his holdings up
in a mushroom cloud.
620
00:28:37,507 --> 00:28:39,049
You got a way
to separate his cash
621
00:28:39,050 --> 00:28:40,634
from all the people
that work there for him
622
00:28:40,635 --> 00:28:42,636
before you A-bomb his shit?
623
00:28:42,637 --> 00:28:44,972
You know, the ones you told me
you couldn't abandon
624
00:28:44,973 --> 00:28:46,432
and had to protect,
625
00:28:46,433 --> 00:28:48,142
so staying in London
was out for you.
626
00:28:48,143 --> 00:28:50,478
Those people?
627
00:28:54,357 --> 00:28:55,482
There is no way.
628
00:28:55,483 --> 00:28:57,986
Price of doing business here.
629
00:28:58,778 --> 00:29:00,947
So who wins when Prince loses?
630
00:29:02,323 --> 00:29:03,782
The country.
631
00:29:03,783 --> 00:29:05,033
The world.
632
00:29:05,034 --> 00:29:07,286
Like it, don't love it.
633
00:29:08,747 --> 00:29:10,998
All right, let's shift venues
634
00:29:10,999 --> 00:29:13,751
before your staff come
into work and clock I'm here.
635
00:29:13,752 --> 00:29:15,586
You need someplace
to work out of?
636
00:29:15,587 --> 00:29:17,464
I'm covered, Charles.
637
00:29:28,767 --> 00:29:31,518
Yeah, I'd say you're covered.
638
00:29:31,519 --> 00:29:32,978
It'll do for now.
639
00:29:32,979 --> 00:29:35,355
Still have my eye on a different
space for the long haul.
640
00:29:35,356 --> 00:29:36,733
Sure.
641
00:29:38,735 --> 00:29:39,860
Strength report.
642
00:29:39,861 --> 00:29:41,195
I think, from what I know,
643
00:29:41,196 --> 00:29:42,863
Prince is gonna try
to lock up Dunlop.
644
00:29:42,864 --> 00:29:44,114
But she's not easy.
645
00:29:44,115 --> 00:29:45,324
We have to set it up
646
00:29:45,325 --> 00:29:46,575
so she does what we want.
647
00:29:46,576 --> 00:29:48,535
Bobby, you need to reach Dunlop.
648
00:29:48,536 --> 00:29:49,995
Offer her whatever you can.
649
00:29:49,996 --> 00:29:51,747
Make sure she doesn't do
the wrong thing.
650
00:29:51,748 --> 00:29:54,541
And what is the overall plan
at the moment?
651
00:29:54,542 --> 00:29:57,044
Bankrupt Prince,
drain the portfolio,
652
00:29:57,045 --> 00:29:58,796
use whatever we know
about the man
653
00:29:58,797 --> 00:30:01,048
and can glean to set it up.
654
00:30:01,049 --> 00:30:03,717
You do know... He does know
our money's in there too?
655
00:30:03,718 --> 00:30:05,803
Like it, don't love it.
656
00:30:05,804 --> 00:30:08,597
Pitched Dollar Bill and Victor.
Pass from each.
657
00:30:08,598 --> 00:30:09,973
They love you, but...
658
00:30:09,974 --> 00:30:11,266
That's the smart move.
659
00:30:11,267 --> 00:30:12,893
Their money's
holding them hostage.
660
00:30:12,894 --> 00:30:15,229
Most people aren't crazy
like you, Taylor.
661
00:30:15,230 --> 00:30:16,814
- And Ben and Tuk?
- Too emotional for them.
662
00:30:16,815 --> 00:30:18,232
The whole thing.
They wouldn't meet.
663
00:30:18,233 --> 00:30:19,691
They knew if they saw me,
especially you,
664
00:30:19,692 --> 00:30:21,819
they'd just go in for a hug
and never let go.
665
00:30:21,820 --> 00:30:24,488
Dumb move.
They'll be canned by now.
666
00:30:24,489 --> 00:30:27,032
You may be aware
that the guillotine
667
00:30:27,033 --> 00:30:29,743
was originally conceived
and fashioned
668
00:30:29,744 --> 00:30:32,120
by Dr. Joseph-Ignace Guillotin
669
00:30:32,121 --> 00:30:35,165
as a more humane means
of execution.
670
00:30:35,166 --> 00:30:36,667
Unaware.
671
00:30:36,668 --> 00:30:39,545
But since we've already been
decapitated, sans the humanity...
672
00:30:39,546 --> 00:30:42,422
Lightning quick.
673
00:30:42,423 --> 00:30:45,926
Less likely to be botched
than steel or scimitar.
674
00:30:45,927 --> 00:30:47,595
So, no severance package?
675
00:30:51,099 --> 00:30:52,391
So, yes severance package?
676
00:30:52,392 --> 00:30:56,186
Consider the mouton
to have fallen.
677
00:30:56,187 --> 00:30:58,272
Detailed data sheets
678
00:30:58,273 --> 00:31:00,399
of every farthing
you have tied up in this fund.
679
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,317
Also known
as what you stand to lose
680
00:31:02,318 --> 00:31:04,945
should you use or discuss
or otherwise bandy about
681
00:31:04,946 --> 00:31:06,613
anything you have learned
about trades
682
00:31:06,614 --> 00:31:08,240
and business practices here.
683
00:31:08,241 --> 00:31:10,325
You know we have
aggressive non-competes,
684
00:31:10,326 --> 00:31:11,660
unless you think
we're gonna bring
685
00:31:11,661 --> 00:31:13,829
our inside knowledge
to Starbucks.
686
00:31:13,830 --> 00:31:15,789
Only place on the Street
we can still work.
687
00:31:15,790 --> 00:31:18,417
You have aggressive
non-disparagement clauses too.
688
00:31:18,418 --> 00:31:21,128
Should you wind up
in said Starbucks,
689
00:31:21,129 --> 00:31:22,713
you had better be praising
Mike Prince
690
00:31:22,714 --> 00:31:24,006
for the chance to quaff
691
00:31:24,007 --> 00:31:27,135
their barely potable
breakfast blend.
692
00:31:29,596 --> 00:31:31,431
Key cards, please.
693
00:31:34,934 --> 00:31:36,978
And your Nimbus rings.
694
00:31:48,364 --> 00:31:50,658
Find out how long
their non-competes are.
695
00:31:51,993 --> 00:31:53,494
I've got to make a call.
696
00:31:55,955 --> 00:31:57,998
See, I wasn't exactly
caught unawares
697
00:31:57,999 --> 00:32:00,208
by any of your
highlight reel plays.
698
00:32:00,209 --> 00:32:02,294
Governor,
don't meet with Michael Prince
699
00:32:02,295 --> 00:32:03,670
until you sit with me.
700
00:32:03,671 --> 00:32:06,006
Mr. Axelrod,
are we sharing calendars now?
701
00:32:06,007 --> 00:32:08,008
What makes you think I'm
meeting with Michael Prince?
702
00:32:08,009 --> 00:32:09,801
You're the key piece.
703
00:32:09,802 --> 00:32:11,553
Anyone smart can see it.
704
00:32:11,554 --> 00:32:14,181
And Mike Prince, for all
his flaws, is at least that.
705
00:32:14,182 --> 00:32:16,099
We all know you're
in New York. Come on.
706
00:32:16,100 --> 00:32:19,019
All right, look,
707
00:32:19,020 --> 00:32:21,688
I took the call because
you're an influential man.
708
00:32:21,689 --> 00:32:23,732
I like that you get
straight to the punch.
709
00:32:23,733 --> 00:32:25,652
That's my style. So I will.
710
00:32:26,611 --> 00:32:28,403
Even if you max out
your contributions
711
00:32:28,404 --> 00:32:32,449
and get all your fancy friends
to do the same...
712
00:32:32,450 --> 00:32:35,703
not sure the association
is what I need right now.
713
00:32:37,038 --> 00:32:38,455
I'm no Wall Street fancy pants,
714
00:32:38,456 --> 00:32:40,415
so I don't see how you can help.
715
00:32:40,416 --> 00:32:42,918
And I sure don't see
any value in meeting.
716
00:32:42,919 --> 00:32:44,962
I think there is.
717
00:32:44,963 --> 00:32:48,048
Whatever you have on
with Prince, cancel it.
718
00:32:48,049 --> 00:32:49,424
Postpone it at least,
719
00:32:49,425 --> 00:32:52,011
and then meet with me
so I can show you.
720
00:32:54,222 --> 00:32:57,307
La-da-da Da-da-da
721
00:32:57,308 --> 00:32:59,811
- I'm gonna go check on the...
- Yeah, check on that.
722
00:33:04,190 --> 00:33:05,607
How we doing, guys?
723
00:33:05,608 --> 00:33:07,609
We're doing good, thanks.
724
00:33:07,610 --> 00:33:09,736
Fantastic, Tommy.
725
00:33:09,737 --> 00:33:11,530
I'm liking this new red.
726
00:33:11,531 --> 00:33:13,074
It's a good one.
727
00:33:14,575 --> 00:33:17,411
- All right, enjoy, everybody.
- Thank you so much.
728
00:33:17,412 --> 00:33:19,204
Salut, gentlemen.
729
00:33:19,205 --> 00:33:20,622
Salut. Cheers.
730
00:33:20,623 --> 00:33:22,625
Salut. Enjoy your dinner.
731
00:33:25,211 --> 00:33:26,712
I don't impress easily,
732
00:33:26,713 --> 00:33:28,296
but Rao's?
733
00:33:28,297 --> 00:33:29,464
All alone?
734
00:33:29,465 --> 00:33:31,758
Yeah, well, these are my people.
735
00:33:31,759 --> 00:33:33,218
It can't be that simple.
736
00:33:33,219 --> 00:33:35,846
I've been asked here before
by my biggest donors,
737
00:33:35,847 --> 00:33:38,849
richest people in the world
offering to bring me.
738
00:33:38,850 --> 00:33:40,726
But I was never in town
739
00:33:40,727 --> 00:33:42,686
on the third Tuesday
of the month,
740
00:33:42,687 --> 00:33:44,271
or whenever they had
their regular table.
741
00:33:44,272 --> 00:33:48,108
And, look,
you've got the whole place.
742
00:33:48,109 --> 00:33:50,277
Can't even imagine the cost.
743
00:33:50,278 --> 00:33:51,738
Nah. It ain't about that.
744
00:33:52,613 --> 00:33:54,031
Or net worth.
745
00:33:54,032 --> 00:33:55,198
You need to be a person.
746
00:33:55,199 --> 00:33:57,284
And have grip with Ron,
747
00:33:57,285 --> 00:33:59,619
and Frank Jr., Joe, Dino.
748
00:33:59,620 --> 00:34:01,580
They need to be your friends.
749
00:34:01,581 --> 00:34:03,707
Then you need to be sure
not to act like an asshole.
750
00:34:05,001 --> 00:34:08,795
This is one hell
of a meatball. Good God.
751
00:34:08,796 --> 00:34:10,965
Well, that's the thing,
though, isn't it?
752
00:34:11,841 --> 00:34:13,633
Riding with me.
753
00:34:13,634 --> 00:34:15,010
What do they say?
754
00:34:15,011 --> 00:34:17,262
The one thing
you will never regret
755
00:34:17,263 --> 00:34:19,639
spending money or time on
756
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:21,683
is a great experience.
757
00:34:21,684 --> 00:34:24,103
A memorable time.
758
00:34:24,854 --> 00:34:26,188
That's what I provide.
759
00:34:26,189 --> 00:34:29,483
When I look at you,
I look at your appeal,
760
00:34:29,484 --> 00:34:30,650
your infrastructure.
761
00:34:30,651 --> 00:34:32,986
The memorable experience
I want to provide
762
00:34:32,987 --> 00:34:34,488
is a trip to the White House.
763
00:34:34,489 --> 00:34:37,032
That would be one hell
of a memorable one.
764
00:34:37,033 --> 00:34:38,784
Then work with me.
765
00:34:38,785 --> 00:34:42,704
Respond to Prince
on your timeline, on mine,
766
00:34:42,705 --> 00:34:45,457
on the way we decide
to do together.
767
00:34:45,458 --> 00:34:46,958
And that's where this ends up.
768
00:34:46,959 --> 00:34:48,794
I'll put you on top in the race,
769
00:34:48,795 --> 00:34:51,506
but you got to do it
the way I lay it out.
770
00:34:53,424 --> 00:34:56,968
This is one hell of
a meatball, like I said.
771
00:34:56,969 --> 00:35:02,141
But it's a long way from there
to the presidency.
772
00:35:02,725 --> 00:35:05,143
What kind of real guarantees
can you make me?
773
00:35:05,144 --> 00:35:06,728
Well, that's a fair question.
774
00:35:06,729 --> 00:35:07,938
What's he offered?
775
00:35:07,939 --> 00:35:09,481
You asked me
to cancel the meeting,
776
00:35:09,482 --> 00:35:10,899
so I don't know
where he'll start.
777
00:35:10,900 --> 00:35:13,652
Probably cabinet positions.
778
00:35:13,653 --> 00:35:15,028
But we all know
where it'll end up.
779
00:35:15,029 --> 00:35:16,279
Then let me help you
780
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,741
think through
all the ramifications.
781
00:35:20,409 --> 00:35:21,701
Axe, you're impressive.
782
00:35:21,702 --> 00:35:23,829
This is impressive.
783
00:35:23,830 --> 00:35:26,331
But this is something I've
worked my whole life for.
784
00:35:26,332 --> 00:35:29,918
Then don't barter that dream
to a guy so transactional
785
00:35:29,919 --> 00:35:32,462
he'll sell VP for your support.
786
00:35:32,463 --> 00:35:35,800
And the truth is, you shouldn't
even settle for that.
787
00:35:38,427 --> 00:35:39,886
Here we go.
788
00:35:39,887 --> 00:35:41,638
- Here's the veal parm.
- Thanks, Dino.
789
00:35:41,639 --> 00:35:43,182
- Enjoy.
- Thank you.
790
00:35:44,350 --> 00:35:46,351
So, aside from the best veal
in the city,
791
00:35:46,352 --> 00:35:48,521
what can you really offer me?
792
00:36:13,212 --> 00:36:14,630
You're really doing it.
793
00:36:16,340 --> 00:36:18,008
Vagabonding.
794
00:36:18,009 --> 00:36:20,218
Night flight to the West Coast?
795
00:36:20,219 --> 00:36:22,512
Or are you going the other way,
Prague or Stockholm?
796
00:36:22,513 --> 00:36:23,763
Morocco, baby.
797
00:36:23,764 --> 00:36:25,682
Sheltering Sky time.
798
00:36:25,683 --> 00:36:27,517
Smoking kief.
799
00:36:27,518 --> 00:36:28,727
Do you smoke it?
800
00:36:28,728 --> 00:36:30,688
I don't know, do you?
Or chew it.
801
00:36:31,647 --> 00:36:33,607
Anyway, North Africa,
802
00:36:33,608 --> 00:36:35,150
then the Middle East,
803
00:36:35,151 --> 00:36:36,359
then I don't know where.
804
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:37,944
Good choice. All of it.
805
00:36:37,945 --> 00:36:39,321
So, what's the plan?
806
00:36:39,322 --> 00:36:40,572
Go until the money runs out?
807
00:36:40,573 --> 00:36:41,990
Because I've checked
and saw how much
808
00:36:41,991 --> 00:36:43,825
you've slowly been
pulling out of the fund.
809
00:36:43,826 --> 00:36:46,703
- Unlike the rest of us.
- Yeah, pretty much.
810
00:36:46,704 --> 00:36:48,538
Time for something else.
811
00:36:48,539 --> 00:36:50,040
Maybe find myself some
812
00:36:50,041 --> 00:36:52,209
Kim Gordon-Thurston Moore
type heat,
813
00:36:52,210 --> 00:36:55,420
but with a better ending,
you know?
814
00:36:55,421 --> 00:36:57,964
Not gonna find that at the firm.
815
00:36:57,965 --> 00:36:59,926
No, you're not.
816
00:37:01,093 --> 00:37:03,721
Wait, you're not here
to try to stop me?
817
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:05,931
I'm glad you're going,
818
00:37:05,932 --> 00:37:07,265
but you left me that book.
819
00:37:07,266 --> 00:37:09,227
That was an invitation
to say goodbye.
820
00:37:11,187 --> 00:37:14,398
I can't hug you
with this backpack on.
821
00:37:17,902 --> 00:37:19,736
Thank you for bringing me in.
For teaching me.
822
00:37:19,737 --> 00:37:22,073
- I could have never...
- Shh.
823
00:37:44,011 --> 00:37:46,805
Two billionaires
want to take me to prom,
824
00:37:46,806 --> 00:37:49,808
and neither of them are getting
me jazzed about the after-party.
825
00:37:49,809 --> 00:37:51,726
So,
826
00:37:51,727 --> 00:37:53,728
ya-fucking-hoo to me.
827
00:37:53,729 --> 00:37:55,689
Well, I have to think
828
00:37:55,690 --> 00:37:58,441
if there was nothing that
Axe said worth considering,
829
00:37:58,442 --> 00:37:59,943
you wouldn't have come to me.
830
00:37:59,944 --> 00:38:01,861
Prince is too smooth.
831
00:38:01,862 --> 00:38:04,782
Too confident.
He's built different.
832
00:38:05,866 --> 00:38:07,617
It's like he ate
the Great Man Theory
833
00:38:07,618 --> 00:38:08,785
and asked for seconds.
834
00:38:08,786 --> 00:38:11,454
Well, no argument there.
835
00:38:11,455 --> 00:38:13,206
But I'm not seeing
enough evidence
836
00:38:13,207 --> 00:38:15,458
your guy is that different.
837
00:38:15,459 --> 00:38:16,876
Which is why I am here.
838
00:38:16,877 --> 00:38:19,212
And I am grateful you are, Governor.
839
00:38:19,213 --> 00:38:20,756
I don't need gratitude.
840
00:38:22,300 --> 00:38:23,759
I need clarity.
841
00:38:26,012 --> 00:38:27,220
Clarity.
842
00:38:27,221 --> 00:38:28,596
Okay.
843
00:38:28,597 --> 00:38:33,436
Well, Bobby Axelrod
doesn't lie to himself.
844
00:38:34,478 --> 00:38:36,271
If he says he's gonna do
something monstrous,
845
00:38:36,272 --> 00:38:37,647
that's what he does.
846
00:38:37,648 --> 00:38:40,400
And that's what he is.
847
00:38:40,401 --> 00:38:41,943
A self-aware monster.
848
00:38:41,944 --> 00:38:44,446
If he says we can get you
to the White House,
849
00:38:44,447 --> 00:38:45,989
it's not to serve his ego.
850
00:38:45,990 --> 00:38:48,117
It is simply the truth.
851
00:38:50,578 --> 00:38:53,246
An honest cocky son of a bitch.
852
00:38:53,247 --> 00:38:55,373
And there's your difference.
853
00:38:55,374 --> 00:38:58,043
Axe has ego,
and doesn't pretend otherwise.
854
00:38:58,044 --> 00:39:01,796
Prince wants you to believe
he is the benevolent,
855
00:39:01,797 --> 00:39:04,174
humble servant
of the greater good.
856
00:39:04,175 --> 00:39:06,051
A selfless billionaire.
857
00:39:06,052 --> 00:39:07,761
Sounds like a punch line.
858
00:39:07,762 --> 00:39:10,638
If success in politics
is the ability to seem sincere
859
00:39:10,639 --> 00:39:13,141
when no sincerity
actually exists,
860
00:39:13,142 --> 00:39:17,812
then Prince is
the ultimate politician.
861
00:39:17,813 --> 00:39:20,106
I hear what you're
telling me. I do.
862
00:39:20,107 --> 00:39:23,151
But see,
you just said it right there.
863
00:39:23,152 --> 00:39:25,445
One of them is in politics,
864
00:39:25,446 --> 00:39:26,780
and that's the game I'm in.
865
00:39:26,781 --> 00:39:30,700
And that's the game
I want you to win.
866
00:39:30,701 --> 00:39:32,619
Long term.
867
00:39:32,620 --> 00:39:36,122
And I really know
how you can get this done.
868
00:39:36,123 --> 00:39:40,252
It is the one thing on Earth
I am truly elite at.
869
00:39:42,671 --> 00:39:44,548
Walk me through it, then.
870
00:39:48,344 --> 00:39:51,596
So, you see, we put up
some roadblocks of our own.
871
00:39:51,597 --> 00:39:54,682
I can see why you feel good
about this, Axe. I can.
872
00:39:54,683 --> 00:39:56,768
But there's one beat
I left out of my own story.
873
00:39:56,769 --> 00:40:01,147
I did, you see, end up having
my own meeting with Dunlop.
874
00:40:01,148 --> 00:40:04,401
Governor, now that
you've met all over town,
875
00:40:04,402 --> 00:40:07,362
I'm glad you decided
to find time for me.
876
00:40:07,363 --> 00:40:09,406
Well, I wanted to make you
the last meeting,
877
00:40:09,407 --> 00:40:12,992
so I wouldn't have to tell you
that I'd have to think about it.
878
00:40:12,993 --> 00:40:15,037
- Either way.
- Considerate.
879
00:40:16,997 --> 00:40:18,873
Sure. That's what it is.
880
00:40:18,874 --> 00:40:20,667
As I am considerate
of those I vanquish.
881
00:40:20,668 --> 00:40:23,545
No reason to pull
a full Angel Reese.
882
00:40:23,546 --> 00:40:26,089
I like her spunk and fire.
883
00:40:26,090 --> 00:40:27,799
Of course you do.
884
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:29,592
When I played, I was more in the
885
00:40:29,593 --> 00:40:32,220
"just place the ball on the
baseline after you score" mode.
886
00:40:32,221 --> 00:40:34,765
That's what went in Indiana
in the '90s.
887
00:40:36,142 --> 00:40:37,392
Different world now.
888
00:40:37,393 --> 00:40:38,935
Certain things, certain values,
889
00:40:38,936 --> 00:40:40,228
should remain constant.
890
00:40:40,229 --> 00:40:42,856
We aren't playing
to an audience, Mike.
891
00:40:42,857 --> 00:40:44,817
What can you offer me?
892
00:40:47,611 --> 00:40:49,946
She is tough.
893
00:40:49,947 --> 00:40:51,364
And you definitely got to her.
894
00:40:51,365 --> 00:40:53,283
Sorry to make it so difficult.
895
00:40:53,284 --> 00:40:54,701
Yeah.
896
00:40:54,702 --> 00:40:57,120
Maybe we've each made it
as difficult for the other
897
00:40:57,121 --> 00:40:58,705
as we should.
898
00:40:58,706 --> 00:41:01,625
Maybe we try
a different mode now.
899
00:41:02,835 --> 00:41:04,961
Say the thing
you're dancing around.
900
00:41:04,962 --> 00:41:07,839
It's time to put
this conflict to rest.
901
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:09,550
By way of peace talks.
902
00:41:10,342 --> 00:41:12,343
Let's call them in.
903
00:41:12,344 --> 00:41:14,054
All of them.
904
00:41:16,891 --> 00:41:19,017
You believe we've got
Dunlop where you want her?
905
00:41:19,018 --> 00:41:21,979
I believe she'll do exactly
what we need her to.
906
00:41:30,070 --> 00:41:34,240
In the old-timey thing,
the predominant king would, say,
907
00:41:34,241 --> 00:41:37,869
surrender his Northern troops,
give back some lands.
908
00:41:37,870 --> 00:41:39,245
Because he knew
if the war went on,
909
00:41:39,246 --> 00:41:41,373
even in victory,
it would be Pyrrhic...
910
00:41:42,458 --> 00:41:44,542
and that he could prevent
further bloodshed
911
00:41:44,543 --> 00:41:47,170
and loss on all sides
by doing so.
912
00:41:47,171 --> 00:41:49,340
And what do great presidents do?
913
00:41:50,966 --> 00:41:53,885
Great presidents,
all great leaders, do the same.
914
00:41:53,886 --> 00:41:56,054
Dictate peace through strength.
915
00:41:56,055 --> 00:41:59,682
Great presidents?
Dreams of fucking grandeur.
916
00:41:59,683 --> 00:42:01,935
They should deal with traitors
harshly before that peace.
917
00:42:01,936 --> 00:42:03,853
Damn right they should.
You should, Mike.
918
00:42:03,854 --> 00:42:05,939
Yeah, that way you'll
finally be in charge,
919
00:42:05,940 --> 00:42:08,358
all by yourself, just like
you wanted from the start.
920
00:42:08,359 --> 00:42:09,901
That's what you think
is driving him?
921
00:42:09,902 --> 00:42:12,028
That, or the nose-to-ass parades
922
00:42:12,029 --> 00:42:14,030
you've been
such a prominent part of.
923
00:42:14,031 --> 00:42:15,323
Stockyard comment from a man
924
00:42:15,324 --> 00:42:16,574
whose mind is always
in the trough.
925
00:42:16,575 --> 00:42:17,951
You're doing a lot of talking
926
00:42:17,952 --> 00:42:19,787
about strength, Mike.
927
00:42:20,871 --> 00:42:22,455
But only the king
with the extra armies
928
00:42:22,456 --> 00:42:24,415
or allies or siege artillery,
929
00:42:24,416 --> 00:42:25,833
the fucking dreadnought
weapons...
930
00:42:25,834 --> 00:42:27,043
Those are the nukes
931
00:42:27,044 --> 00:42:28,795
he's so eager
to play around with.
932
00:42:28,796 --> 00:42:30,672
Only the king with all that
933
00:42:30,673 --> 00:42:32,465
had the juice to dictate terms.
934
00:42:32,466 --> 00:42:34,509
But you?
935
00:42:34,510 --> 00:42:37,095
You just look like
another run-of-the-mill usurper
936
00:42:37,096 --> 00:42:38,930
scrapping for turf in this room.
937
00:42:38,931 --> 00:42:40,306
Hear, hear.
938
00:42:40,307 --> 00:42:41,641
So you think.
939
00:42:41,642 --> 00:42:43,643
Now, my information
has Governor Dunlop
940
00:42:43,644 --> 00:42:46,938
reaffirming her own candidacy
for president tonight,
941
00:42:46,939 --> 00:42:49,941
with a big machine
and a lot of backing behind her.
942
00:42:49,942 --> 00:42:54,822
Mine too, which means you'll be
in a dogfight for the next year.
943
00:42:56,115 --> 00:42:58,117
I guess we'll soon see.
944
00:43:00,828 --> 00:43:02,246
It's time.
945
00:43:10,921 --> 00:43:13,048
Fuck.
946
00:43:20,806 --> 00:43:22,307
Hello, everyone.
947
00:43:22,308 --> 00:43:24,726
No intros needed.
You know who I am,
948
00:43:24,727 --> 00:43:28,313
and I know those of you
it's important to know.
949
00:43:28,314 --> 00:43:32,443
It's been a real kick doing
the roundy-round with you all.
950
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:36,071
But I've made my decision...
951
00:43:39,742 --> 00:43:41,618
to not only throw my support
952
00:43:41,619 --> 00:43:44,203
behind our next president,
Mike Prince,
953
00:43:44,204 --> 00:43:46,707
but to become his partner.
954
00:43:49,084 --> 00:43:51,169
His vice president.
955
00:43:51,170 --> 00:43:54,088
For the good of our country
and the whole world.
956
00:43:54,089 --> 00:43:55,673
Yeah. Like I said.
957
00:43:55,674 --> 00:43:58,635
At least you got a decent price.
958
00:43:58,636 --> 00:44:00,136
Governor, thank you.
959
00:44:00,137 --> 00:44:01,847
I'll meet up with you shortly.
960
00:44:09,438 --> 00:44:11,105
Now, I know what that's
got to feel like.
961
00:44:11,106 --> 00:44:13,816
And that the tendency
for you, and for me,
962
00:44:13,817 --> 00:44:16,569
is to go on trying
to destroy each other.
963
00:44:16,570 --> 00:44:18,488
But it'll cost both sides,
964
00:44:18,489 --> 00:44:21,617
even though it's pretty clear
who'll win out here.
965
00:44:23,202 --> 00:44:25,912
Which is why I propose
a peace treaty
966
00:44:25,913 --> 00:44:28,039
between our warring factions.
967
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:31,042
- And what would that look like?
- Like this:
968
00:44:31,043 --> 00:44:32,418
You, jointly and separately,
969
00:44:32,419 --> 00:44:35,171
will cease all further
and future attacks on me,
970
00:44:35,172 --> 00:44:37,173
my name, my candidacy,
971
00:44:37,174 --> 00:44:39,634
my personal life
and my business interests,
972
00:44:39,635 --> 00:44:41,427
which include
my remaining personnel,
973
00:44:41,428 --> 00:44:42,762
which no longer includes anyone
974
00:44:42,763 --> 00:44:44,180
on that side of the table,
by the way.
975
00:44:44,181 --> 00:44:45,973
In return, I will do the same,
976
00:44:45,974 --> 00:44:47,350
and when I become president,
977
00:44:47,351 --> 00:44:49,560
I pledge not to use
any government resources
978
00:44:49,561 --> 00:44:53,482
to persecute, prosecute,
fire or bankrupt any of you.
979
00:44:56,527 --> 00:45:00,697
Should we jump ahead past
all the writhing and invective
980
00:45:00,698 --> 00:45:02,865
to the place where we all admit
this is the best deal
981
00:45:02,866 --> 00:45:04,702
you're gonna get?
982
00:45:15,504 --> 00:45:16,879
Good.
983
00:45:24,972 --> 00:45:29,852
We skipped The light fandango
984
00:45:32,187 --> 00:45:34,106
So, well, there's that.
985
00:45:36,859 --> 00:45:38,985
Yeah. There it is.
986
00:45:38,986 --> 00:45:41,530
I was feeling Kind of seasick
987
00:45:43,198 --> 00:45:44,616
Yes.
988
00:45:45,701 --> 00:45:47,035
Yes.
989
00:45:48,203 --> 00:45:49,538
Okay.
990
00:45:52,583 --> 00:45:53,833
That was the call.
991
00:45:53,834 --> 00:45:55,461
You're on the briefings, Mike.
992
00:45:56,670 --> 00:45:58,255
First one is tomorrow.
993
00:45:59,381 --> 00:46:00,799
Yeah.
994
00:46:01,884 --> 00:46:04,010
So, yes, that's it, then.
995
00:46:04,011 --> 00:46:07,638
When we called out
For another drink
996
00:46:07,639 --> 00:46:09,349
All conditions satisfied.
997
00:46:10,934 --> 00:46:13,896
The waiter brought a tray
998
00:46:15,230 --> 00:46:16,606
Tomorrow, at the open,
999
00:46:16,607 --> 00:46:18,316
put the money to work
as instructed.
1000
00:46:18,317 --> 00:46:19,776
Nothing heroic.
1001
00:46:19,777 --> 00:46:23,070
Prioritize return of capital,
not return on capital.
1002
00:46:23,071 --> 00:46:24,280
You got it, Cap'.
1003
00:46:24,281 --> 00:46:25,948
Where's the briefing?
White House?
1004
00:46:25,949 --> 00:46:28,326
No.
We're going to Camp David.
1005
00:46:28,327 --> 00:46:30,411
That's it.
1006
00:46:30,412 --> 00:46:31,872
You're minted.
1007
00:46:32,915 --> 00:46:34,749
Boom.
1008
00:46:34,750 --> 00:46:36,292
You can say that again.
1009
00:46:36,293 --> 00:46:38,003
Boom.
1010
00:46:39,213 --> 00:46:41,256
Shade of pale
1011
00:47:10,619 --> 00:47:15,290
She said "There is no reason"
1012
00:47:16,875 --> 00:47:20,295
"And the truth Is plain to see"
