1
00:00:04,046 --> 00:00:05,255
Previously on Billions...

2
00:00:05,339 --> 00:00:06,757
You want me to help put you

3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:08,276
in the State Attorney
General's office.

4
00:00:08,300 --> 00:00:10,010
I do.

5
00:00:10,093 --> 00:00:10,802
The Churchill World War
it's a hell of a set.

6
00:00:10,886 --> 00:00:12,763
Well, maybe I can circle back

7
00:00:12,846 --> 00:00:14,264
and grab them
before they're gone.

8
00:00:14,348 --> 00:00:16,266
These are the books
you asked for.

9
00:00:16,350 --> 00:00:18,286
Find all the other signed
first editions for sale.

10
00:00:18,310 --> 00:00:21,230
And buy them all,
every single last one of them.

11
00:00:21,313 --> 00:00:24,316
You could've been anything
you chose to be a prosecutor.

12
00:00:24,399 --> 00:00:25,150
You're the guy who
taught me everything.

13
00:00:25,234 --> 00:00:27,361
I'm glad you still
feel that way.

14
00:00:27,444 --> 00:00:30,072
Your father has tasted
the fruits of our tribe.

15
00:00:30,155 --> 00:00:32,532
Is that my little sister,
for Chrissakes?

16
00:00:32,616 --> 00:00:34,409
When are you coming home?
I don't know.

17
00:00:34,493 --> 00:00:35,369
But you are coming home?

18
00:00:35,452 --> 00:00:38,080
I don't know.

19
00:00:38,163 --> 00:00:40,541
When I look at the
shambles my life has become

20
00:00:40,624 --> 00:00:42,209
from my firing,

21
00:00:42,292 --> 00:00:44,378
to my election
with strings attached,

22
00:00:44,461 --> 00:00:46,421
to the destruction
of my marriage,

23
00:00:46,505 --> 00:00:49,591
it all tracks
back to one source.

24
00:00:49,675 --> 00:00:50,676
One man.

25
00:00:50,759 --> 00:00:52,803
And that very man

26
00:00:52,886 --> 00:00:54,930
charged me with arresting you

27
00:00:55,013 --> 00:00:57,724
in order to force you
back into his employ.

28
00:00:57,808 --> 00:01:00,102
You were such
a worthy fucking adversary.

29
00:01:00,185 --> 00:01:01,395
I want you on my side.

30
00:01:01,478 --> 00:01:04,231
And I want you to help me
take him down,

31
00:01:04,314 --> 00:01:05,315
once and for all.

32
00:01:05,399 --> 00:01:07,335
Chuck Rhoades wants to use me
to help him nail Axe.

33
00:01:07,359 --> 00:01:10,195
They're both lined up
to destroy each other.

34
00:01:10,279 --> 00:01:11,631
At the right moment
when both have their guns

35
00:01:11,655 --> 00:01:13,949
raised, I'll step out
of the way and let it happen.

36
00:01:14,032 --> 00:01:15,784
They'll put each other
in the ground

37
00:01:15,867 --> 00:01:17,303
and I'll go about
my fucking business.

38
00:01:17,327 --> 00:01:18,328
Welcome home.

39
00:01:18,412 --> 00:01:19,746
Happy to be here.

40
00:01:39,975 --> 00:01:42,853
It's so wonderful to be
gathered here together

41
00:01:42,936 --> 00:01:44,980
to witness this
blessed occasion.

42
00:01:45,063 --> 00:01:47,649
Two souls, who've found
one another,

43
00:01:47,733 --> 00:01:50,694
in the great expanse.

44
00:01:50,777 --> 00:01:53,655
Two people, fiery and strong,

45
00:01:53,739 --> 00:01:55,991
joining their flames into
a single burning ember...

46
00:01:56,074 --> 00:01:57,951
In our tradition,

47
00:01:58,035 --> 00:02:01,121
marriage
means 'never alone.'

48
00:02:01,204 --> 00:02:03,498
So will you take this man,

49
00:02:03,582 --> 00:02:05,625
to care for,
for all of your days?

50
00:02:05,709 --> 00:02:07,210
I will.

51
00:02:07,294 --> 00:02:08,670
And will you take this woman,

52
00:02:08,754 --> 00:02:10,714
to care for,
for all of your days?

53
00:02:10,797 --> 00:02:11,882
Of course I will.

54
00:02:11,965 --> 00:02:14,843
For as many as I've got left,
anyway.

55
00:02:22,184 --> 00:02:25,520
You will now live together
under one blanket...

56
00:02:29,483 --> 00:02:32,819
Patti Smith's "Gone Again"

57
00:02:50,462 --> 00:02:53,382
Hey, now, man's own kin

58
00:02:53,465 --> 00:02:56,051
We commend into the wind

59
00:02:56,134 --> 00:02:58,887
Grateful arms, grateful limbs

60
00:02:58,970 --> 00:03:01,807
Grateful soul, he's gone again

61
00:03:42,681 --> 00:03:43,807
Ugh.

62
00:03:53,316 --> 00:03:55,527
Right?

63
00:03:55,610 --> 00:03:57,904
Right?!

64
00:03:59,865 --> 00:04:03,076
Yessssssss.

65
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,745
See it?

66
00:04:05,829 --> 00:04:08,999
Feel it?

67
00:04:09,082 --> 00:04:10,959
It's almost too much.

68
00:04:11,042 --> 00:04:14,880
Too much goodness in the world.

69
00:04:14,963 --> 00:04:18,758
The great Earth Mother

70
00:04:18,842 --> 00:04:20,093
blowing it around

71
00:04:20,177 --> 00:04:23,138
like smoke from the trees...

72
00:04:23,221 --> 00:04:25,056
Kings!

73
00:04:25,140 --> 00:04:27,559
They don't blow around, man.

74
00:04:29,269 --> 00:04:32,230
They stand there and they take.

75
00:04:32,314 --> 00:04:36,902
First the village,
then the city.

76
00:04:36,985 --> 00:04:39,738
Mass the troops for the keep.

77
00:04:39,821 --> 00:04:43,950
And once the keep...

78
00:04:44,034 --> 00:04:46,661
Yeah.
The whole world.

79
00:04:48,288 --> 00:04:53,794
That's a whole lot
of war to wage.

80
00:04:55,212 --> 00:05:00,217
That's a whole lot
of heads to chop,

81
00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:03,303
heads to chop,

82
00:05:03,386 --> 00:05:05,263
heads to chop

83
00:05:05,347 --> 00:05:09,935
Chop, chop, chop...

84
00:05:10,018 --> 00:05:11,353
Mess,

85
00:05:11,436 --> 00:05:13,522
messy, mess.

86
00:05:13,605 --> 00:05:14,606
Beautiful mess.

87
00:05:14,689 --> 00:05:18,360
Yeah...

88
00:05:19,611 --> 00:05:24,199
Come on,

89
00:05:24,282 --> 00:05:27,077
let's see if
we can make it back.

90
00:05:41,967 --> 00:05:45,720
Well, my baby and me went out
late Saturday night

91
00:05:45,804 --> 00:05:49,724
I had my hair piled high and
my baby just looked so right

92
00:05:49,808 --> 00:05:54,062
Well, pick you up at ten,
gotta have you home at two

93
00:05:54,145 --> 00:05:55,981
Mama don't know what
I catched off of you

94
00:05:56,064 --> 00:05:57,524
But that's all right 'cause

95
00:05:57,607 --> 00:05:59,609
We're looking as cool as can be

96
00:05:59,693 --> 00:06:00,318
You okay, Chuck?

97
00:06:00,402 --> 00:06:02,696
Oh. You know it!
You sure?

98
00:06:02,779 --> 00:06:05,240
Better than okay. Yes.
A venerable occasion.

99
00:06:05,323 --> 00:06:07,301
Weddings can be tough when
you've become recently...

100
00:06:07,325 --> 00:06:08,410
unattached.

101
00:06:08,493 --> 00:06:10,328
All that romance in the air.

102
00:06:10,412 --> 00:06:11,246
Exactly what I'm looking
to capitalize on.

103
00:06:11,329 --> 00:06:13,707
Who's the brunette stunner
over there?

104
00:06:13,790 --> 00:06:15,292
How 'bout an intro

105
00:06:15,375 --> 00:06:17,335
And change of a dollar
for the jukebox

106
00:06:17,419 --> 00:06:18,753
That'd be his wife.
Ouch.

107
00:06:18,837 --> 00:06:19,713
Or is it ex?
Uh, uh.

108
00:06:19,796 --> 00:06:23,300
Not officially. Yet.
Heading that way.

109
00:06:23,383 --> 00:06:25,510
What's the statute of
limitations on exes these days?

110
00:06:25,594 --> 00:06:27,178
Ohh!
Until your shvantz

111
00:06:27,262 --> 00:06:29,347
turns to rust and falls off,
Brogan.

112
00:06:29,431 --> 00:06:30,265
Which is why I'm kidding!

113
00:06:30,348 --> 00:06:32,726
Naturally.
'Cause we're all friends.

114
00:06:32,809 --> 00:06:34,769
Sure, you're kidding.
Absolutely.

115
00:06:34,853 --> 00:06:37,939
And I am truly blessed
to have a brain trust,

116
00:06:38,023 --> 00:06:39,584
a cadre, a kitchen cabinet
such as you all.

117
00:06:39,608 --> 00:06:44,571
We're gonna rock this town,
rock it inside out

118
00:06:46,740 --> 00:06:47,991
Excuse me...

119
00:07:00,378 --> 00:07:03,757
Hey, hey, hey, watch it, Kev.

120
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:05,550
Come on.
We don't do that.

121
00:07:05,634 --> 00:07:07,862
You wanna try some wine at
dinner, we can do it together.

122
00:07:07,886 --> 00:07:08,720
Like people.

123
00:07:08,803 --> 00:07:11,348
Sorry, Dad,
I just wanted to taste it.

124
00:07:11,431 --> 00:07:12,974
But it's gross.
Exactly.

125
00:07:21,358 --> 00:07:22,817
It's family.

126
00:07:22,901 --> 00:07:26,237
That's what families do:
stick together.

127
00:07:28,573 --> 00:07:30,825
That's why you're here?

128
00:07:30,909 --> 00:07:34,162
You're actually fucking here.

129
00:07:34,245 --> 00:07:36,289
"Sticking together"
while he marries someone

130
00:07:36,373 --> 00:07:37,374
who could be his

131
00:07:37,457 --> 00:07:39,167
Soldier forth.

132
00:07:39,250 --> 00:07:42,754
That's what Charles
always told me,

133
00:07:42,837 --> 00:07:44,714
and he's right.

134
00:07:44,798 --> 00:07:47,509
We're gonna rock this town,
make 'em scream and shout

135
00:07:47,592 --> 00:07:50,345
Maybe it's time
to stop listening

136
00:07:50,428 --> 00:07:52,222
to what Rhoades men say

137
00:07:52,305 --> 00:07:54,182
and decide what we think
for a fucking change.

138
00:07:54,265 --> 00:07:56,145
We're gonna rock till you
drop, we're gonna rock

139
00:07:56,935 --> 00:07:58,478
Excuse me.

140
00:08:02,065 --> 00:08:03,233
Ms. Sacker.

141
00:08:03,316 --> 00:08:05,860
Sorry to crash,
but I have what I need

142
00:08:05,944 --> 00:08:07,824
to give the goahead on
the crypto mine takedown.

143
00:08:07,904 --> 00:08:09,256
As soon as you give me
the goahead.

144
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:10,508
They will get
in position tonight.

145
00:08:10,532 --> 00:08:12,075
Move first thing in the morning.

146
00:08:12,158 --> 00:08:14,244
Click, click, boom. Do it.
What about press?

147
00:08:14,327 --> 00:08:16,263
They're salivating over
all things crypto right now.

148
00:08:16,287 --> 00:08:17,956
No press. Yet.

149
00:08:18,039 --> 00:08:20,792
Then at the right moment,
lots and lots of it.

150
00:08:20,875 --> 00:08:22,419
Do the thing.
I have to go, uh,

151
00:08:22,502 --> 00:08:24,671
get back to the nuptials.

152
00:08:24,754 --> 00:08:26,631
Maybe I'll stick
around, watch the toast.

153
00:08:26,715 --> 00:08:28,717
See you celebrate the love.

154
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,678
You're a ruthless prosecutor.
It's why I hired you over.

155
00:08:31,761 --> 00:08:33,322
Don't waste it here.
Use it on the operation.

156
00:08:33,346 --> 00:08:35,890
Ah.
First I watch you squirm.

157
00:08:35,974 --> 00:08:37,350
Then I make them squirm.

158
00:08:58,496 --> 00:09:02,083
We'll have our fill of tears

159
00:09:02,167 --> 00:09:05,462
Our share of sighs

160
00:09:05,545 --> 00:09:06,421
A dance with the groom?

161
00:09:06,504 --> 00:09:08,882
My only prayer Can I say no?

162
00:09:08,965 --> 00:09:09,591
I think not.

163
00:09:09,674 --> 00:09:13,636
Is that you realize

164
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,932
You'll always be beautiful

165
00:09:18,016 --> 00:09:21,770
In my eyes

166
00:09:21,853 --> 00:09:24,689
You will always be

167
00:09:24,773 --> 00:09:26,733
Avert your eyes, Chuck.

168
00:09:26,816 --> 00:09:28,234
We'll watch for you.

169
00:09:28,318 --> 00:09:30,129
We'llWe'll tell you
if the old man gets handsy.

170
00:09:30,153 --> 00:09:33,907
Oooh, he's bringing out the old
American Bandstand moves.

171
00:09:33,990 --> 00:09:35,658
Feels more like
Soul Train to me.

172
00:09:35,742 --> 00:09:37,202
Ooh, he's got a pep in his step

173
00:09:37,285 --> 00:09:38,912
I'm impressed.

174
00:09:38,995 --> 00:09:40,747
She looks stunned.
In a good way.

175
00:09:40,830 --> 00:09:42,123
Good for him.
Not for you.

176
00:09:42,207 --> 00:09:43,847
It does feel like a betrayal
of some sort.

177
00:09:43,917 --> 00:09:45,460
From one of them.
Or both.

178
00:09:45,543 --> 00:09:46,562
No, no, no, no.
It's as it should be.

179
00:09:46,586 --> 00:09:49,422
The bonds of family
are stronger than

180
00:09:49,506 --> 00:09:50,381
Whoa, that's a deep dip!

181
00:09:50,465 --> 00:09:54,844
Bravo!
Real Rudolph Valentino move!

182
00:09:54,928 --> 00:09:56,137
Ahh, Jesus.

183
00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:05,396
I'll be sad to lose you
as a member of the family.

184
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,024
You're the grandfather
of my children:

185
00:10:08,108 --> 00:10:09,984
we'll always be family.

186
00:10:10,068 --> 00:10:12,403
So stop this madness.

187
00:10:12,487 --> 00:10:14,155
Go get some ass
if that's what you want...

188
00:10:14,239 --> 00:10:16,783
and then reup with the unit.

189
00:10:16,866 --> 00:10:19,327
Like you did?

190
00:10:19,410 --> 00:10:20,829
We're at your wedding.

191
00:10:20,912 --> 00:10:22,163
To someone else.

192
00:10:22,247 --> 00:10:23,998
I'm sitting at a table
with your exwife.

193
00:10:24,082 --> 00:10:24,999
Thing you have to understand

194
00:10:25,083 --> 00:10:27,127
about me and your
exmotherinlaw is

195
00:10:27,210 --> 00:10:28,128
May I cut in?

196
00:10:28,211 --> 00:10:31,756
You had your chance, Sonny.

197
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:32,715
Maybe if you'd been this
insistent when she was yours

198
00:10:32,799 --> 00:10:36,886
Dad!

199
00:10:36,970 --> 00:10:38,429
Your dance, my boy.

200
00:10:38,513 --> 00:10:41,599
You'll always be beautiful

201
00:10:41,683 --> 00:10:43,601
In my eyes

202
00:10:43,685 --> 00:10:45,645
I figured I'd move in
for the save.

203
00:10:45,728 --> 00:10:47,188
There was a time for that.

204
00:10:47,272 --> 00:10:48,690
It's long passed.

205
00:10:48,773 --> 00:10:50,650
You mean to say you enjoyed
dancing with him?

206
00:10:50,733 --> 00:10:52,986
I mean, he does
move like Valentino.

207
00:10:53,069 --> 00:10:53,653
Oh, for Chrissakes.

208
00:10:53,736 --> 00:10:55,697
Really? You too?

209
00:10:57,949 --> 00:10:59,284
And the passing years will show

210
00:10:59,367 --> 00:11:01,411
There's not a second of this
I enjoy.

211
00:11:01,494 --> 00:11:03,454
Old days, we would have
made our getaway.

212
00:11:03,538 --> 00:11:06,082
McQueen and Ali MacGraw style.

213
00:11:06,166 --> 00:11:08,418
Mm. More like
Beatty and Dunaway

214
00:11:08,501 --> 00:11:10,795
lot of talk of escape,
but in the end:

215
00:11:10,879 --> 00:11:14,549
ratatatat with the Tommy gun.

216
00:11:14,632 --> 00:11:16,509
Bloody, tragic.

217
00:11:16,593 --> 00:11:18,219
No escape.
From any of it.

218
00:11:18,303 --> 00:11:20,197
Just because we haven't
made our escape as of yet,

219
00:11:20,221 --> 00:11:24,392
doesn't mean we can't.

220
00:11:24,475 --> 00:11:26,895
As friends, I mean,
not romantically.

221
00:11:26,978 --> 00:11:29,480
Just find our way out of here.

222
00:11:29,564 --> 00:11:30,356
Talk.

223
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,401
Oh, there'll be an escape.

224
00:11:33,484 --> 00:11:34,694
Here it is.

225
00:11:39,365 --> 00:11:40,408
Go time.

226
00:11:40,491 --> 00:11:41,491
Ah.

227
00:12:04,849 --> 00:12:08,061
I was speaking with my mother
the other day,

228
00:12:08,144 --> 00:12:12,690
about how hard it would be
to appropriately, to honestly,

229
00:12:12,774 --> 00:12:15,276
salute my father on the day
of this blessed union.

230
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,946
And she said to me:

231
00:12:18,029 --> 00:12:21,366
"Look, you do not have to stand
in front of a group of people

232
00:12:21,449 --> 00:12:23,785
and say nice things
about that man.

233
00:12:23,868 --> 00:12:26,329
You do not have to valorize him.

234
00:12:26,412 --> 00:12:28,373
Speak your truth, Son."

235
00:12:28,456 --> 00:12:32,126
Now, as most of you know,

236
00:12:32,210 --> 00:12:34,128
I have no problem
making a speech

237
00:12:34,212 --> 00:12:35,922
that goes against convention,

238
00:12:36,005 --> 00:12:37,632
that brooks the tide
of the expected,

239
00:12:37,715 --> 00:12:40,927
so that I may speak
the unvarnished.

240
00:12:41,010 --> 00:12:44,055
And that is what
I have decided to do today.

241
00:12:45,306 --> 00:12:48,977
So buckle up...

242
00:12:49,060 --> 00:12:50,979
Because...

243
00:12:51,062 --> 00:12:54,315
I am not gonna say nice things
about my dad.

244
00:12:54,399 --> 00:12:55,399
I don't want to.

245
00:12:57,902 --> 00:12:59,195
You all know what I would say.

246
00:12:59,279 --> 00:13:00,196
You all know the truth. No.

247
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:04,409
Instead: I want to...

248
00:13:13,835 --> 00:13:17,839
celebrate his magnificent bride,
Roxanne!

249
00:13:25,263 --> 00:13:29,767
No. Because she has done that
which I'd thought impossible.

250
00:13:29,851 --> 00:13:32,603
Turned my dad into
a big pile of mush.

251
00:13:32,687 --> 00:13:36,649
Defanged the old wolf.

252
00:13:36,733 --> 00:13:38,609
Well. Made him into one of
those BuildABears

253
00:13:38,693 --> 00:13:39,920
with the bright red valentine
for a heart

254
00:13:39,944 --> 00:13:42,697
and the cuddly fur
to hold onto and hug.

255
00:13:42,780 --> 00:13:44,449
Certainly got him
going to BuildABear

256
00:13:44,532 --> 00:13:47,118
for his little daughter.

257
00:13:47,201 --> 00:13:49,370
And Roxanne, and her people,

258
00:13:49,454 --> 00:13:52,749
have taken him in as their own.

259
00:13:52,832 --> 00:13:56,085
Much as we consider her ours.

260
00:13:58,671 --> 00:14:00,882
That's the wonderful
thing about family.

261
00:14:00,965 --> 00:14:02,800
It lives and breathes.

262
00:14:02,884 --> 00:14:04,218
It never contracts.

263
00:14:04,302 --> 00:14:06,721
Only expands.

264
00:14:06,804 --> 00:14:09,390
As ours has now.

265
00:14:09,474 --> 00:14:12,935
I can't believe
a man can get so lucky.

266
00:14:13,019 --> 00:14:15,980
And, uh, now I'm speaking
about me, not Dad.

267
00:14:16,064 --> 00:14:20,359
Because I have someone who
loves him as much as I do,

268
00:14:20,443 --> 00:14:24,363
someone to share him with.

269
00:14:24,447 --> 00:14:27,033
Bad Company's "Bad Company"
So. Here's to you both.

270
00:14:27,116 --> 00:14:31,204
And to all of us basking
in the radiance of your joy.

271
00:14:31,287 --> 00:14:33,081
As we raise our glasses...

272
00:14:33,164 --> 00:14:33,748
Yeah!
Cheers!

273
00:14:33,831 --> 00:14:35,249
Cheers!

274
00:14:38,878 --> 00:14:41,714
Company

275
00:14:41,798 --> 00:14:43,674
Always on the run

276
00:14:43,758 --> 00:14:45,760
You've come far
and learned much.

277
00:14:45,843 --> 00:14:46,945
Destiny Until we see each other

278
00:14:46,969 --> 00:14:50,932
and move your knowledge
into the world, be well.

279
00:14:51,015 --> 00:14:55,812
Safe travels.
Is the rising sun

280
00:14:58,022 --> 00:15:02,819
Oh, I was born

281
00:15:02,902 --> 00:15:06,155
Six gun in my hand

282
00:15:08,533 --> 00:15:11,244
Behind a gun

283
00:15:11,327 --> 00:15:19,085
I'll make my final stand

284
00:15:19,168 --> 00:15:23,256
That's why they call me

285
00:15:23,339 --> 00:15:25,716
Bad company

286
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:27,301
And I can't deny

287
00:15:31,889 --> 00:15:34,392
Bad company

288
00:15:34,475 --> 00:15:36,978
Till the day I die

289
00:15:37,728 --> 00:15:41,149
Till the day I die

290
00:15:42,775 --> 00:15:43,775
Till the day I die

291
00:15:59,167 --> 00:15:59,834
Kevin was drinking.

292
00:15:59,917 --> 00:16:02,128
Chuck, where the fuck are you?

293
00:16:23,524 --> 00:16:25,234
He's sleeping it off.

294
00:16:29,113 --> 00:16:30,489
I handled it.

295
00:16:30,573 --> 00:16:33,409
It's handled.
There's nothing for you to do.

296
00:16:33,492 --> 00:16:34,994
Babysitter will be here soon.

297
00:16:35,077 --> 00:16:36,621
Then I'll go to work.
Oh. Fuck.

298
00:16:36,704 --> 00:16:38,247
I don't know how
I missed your calls.

299
00:16:39,624 --> 00:16:41,125
I know.

300
00:16:41,209 --> 00:16:44,253
I know where you were
and what you were doing...

301
00:16:44,337 --> 00:16:47,048
because that's the only time
you're off the grid completely.

302
00:16:47,131 --> 00:16:48,549
That's a stiff fucking shot.

303
00:16:48,633 --> 00:16:49,842
And it landed.

304
00:16:49,926 --> 00:16:52,053
So. Standing eight count
for C. Rhoades.

305
00:16:52,136 --> 00:16:55,473
Now. Can we stop punching
at each other, please?

306
00:16:55,556 --> 00:16:56,724
You flail at me wildly

307
00:16:56,807 --> 00:17:00,061
and then yyou put your chin
right there.

308
00:17:00,144 --> 00:17:02,313
What do you expect me to do?

309
00:17:02,980 --> 00:17:05,691
I was in no way prepared

310
00:17:05,775 --> 00:17:07,985
for how that travesty of
a wedding was going to hit me.

311
00:17:08,069 --> 00:17:09,504
How it was gonna make me feel
about things between us.

312
00:17:09,528 --> 00:17:12,907
I was just...

313
00:17:12,990 --> 00:17:15,243
totally alone.

314
00:17:15,326 --> 00:17:17,411
And you guys here

315
00:17:17,495 --> 00:17:20,039
in Bobby Axelrod's
spare fucking apartment.

316
00:17:20,122 --> 00:17:23,000
With goddamned Van Goghs
on the walls.

317
00:17:23,084 --> 00:17:25,753
While I'm, uh...

318
00:17:25,836 --> 00:17:28,756
Ahh,

319
00:17:28,839 --> 00:17:32,176
it was the only thing
I could think of.

320
00:17:32,260 --> 00:17:34,470
How could I have known
there would be an emergency?

321
00:17:34,554 --> 00:17:37,265
Part of being a parent

322
00:17:37,348 --> 00:17:41,060
No, no, part of being a person,
a grown person,

323
00:17:41,143 --> 00:17:44,814
is carrying that thought
somewhere inside:

324
00:17:44,897 --> 00:17:45,916
that you might be needed
by those you love,

325
00:17:45,940 --> 00:17:48,067
by those you're responsible to,

326
00:17:48,150 --> 00:17:50,152
and making sure you're
available for that.

327
00:17:50,236 --> 00:17:53,197
Instead of being a prisoner
to your appetites.

328
00:17:53,739 --> 00:17:54,907
You know this.

329
00:17:54,991 --> 00:17:58,327
What do I know anymore, really?

330
00:17:58,411 --> 00:18:00,037
I have lost my bearings.

331
00:18:00,121 --> 00:18:03,416
Oh. Until recently, I had always
had a North Star.

332
00:18:03,499 --> 00:18:04,875
Twin North Stars.

333
00:18:04,959 --> 00:18:08,004
Justice and Wendy Rhoades.

334
00:18:08,087 --> 00:18:11,090
And with those guiding me,
I was able to move forward,

335
00:18:11,173 --> 00:18:14,468
to progress, to find
and stay on my path.

336
00:18:17,597 --> 00:18:19,181
But in the end,

337
00:18:19,265 --> 00:18:22,143
although they were
always there for me,

338
00:18:22,226 --> 00:18:22,852
I served neither.

339
00:18:22,935 --> 00:18:26,397
Not nearly enough.

340
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,483
But I have lately determined
to find my way back.

341
00:18:32,445 --> 00:18:34,822
It's clear that I must.

342
00:18:36,991 --> 00:18:38,909
I want to dive in.

343
00:18:40,995 --> 00:18:44,165
To engage.
But... it's too late.

344
00:18:44,248 --> 00:18:46,834
It's time for some selfcare now.

345
00:18:46,917 --> 00:18:50,671
I can't let my happiness be
controlled by anyone but me.

346
00:18:50,755 --> 00:18:53,299
It was a mistake to call you
last night for help.

347
00:18:53,382 --> 00:18:54,717
It was my night with the kids.

348
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,510
My problem.

349
00:18:56,594 --> 00:18:58,346
That's how divorced people talk.

350
00:18:58,429 --> 00:19:00,598
Yeah.

351
00:19:00,681 --> 00:19:02,516
It is.

352
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,270
The separation has convinced me.

353
00:19:06,354 --> 00:19:07,688
We need to be done.

354
00:19:10,149 --> 00:19:12,193
And I want to issue
a public statement.

355
00:19:12,276 --> 00:19:14,236
III want tol want
to do it this week.

356
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:15,029
Today.
I want it to be out there.

357
00:19:15,112 --> 00:19:18,449
Have your office draw one up

358
00:19:18,532 --> 00:19:20,052
and have it sent it to me
by day's end.

359
00:19:27,291 --> 00:19:29,168
Look at me.

360
00:19:29,251 --> 00:19:29,960
Look into my eyes.

361
00:19:30,044 --> 00:19:32,088
I know you won't believe this,

362
00:19:32,171 --> 00:19:34,173
because I've given you
little cause to:

363
00:19:34,256 --> 00:19:37,718
But I am on the brink
of huge change.

364
00:19:39,804 --> 00:19:42,640
I am going to
force myself to evolve.

365
00:19:46,894 --> 00:19:49,230
I believe that you
believe that, Chuck.

366
00:20:22,596 --> 00:20:24,348
You are under arrest
for utility theft.

367
00:20:24,432 --> 00:20:28,227
For starters.
Lock 'em up and shut 'em down.

368
00:20:28,310 --> 00:20:29,562
Come on.

369
00:20:29,645 --> 00:20:30,896
Let's go.

370
00:20:45,786 --> 00:20:48,831
Look at all this wattage,
fellas...

371
00:20:48,914 --> 00:20:51,584
You see this little
dink of a column?

372
00:20:51,667 --> 00:20:53,502
That was last year's usage
at the warehouse...

373
00:20:53,586 --> 00:20:54,896
Mmhmm.
Then see this middle column?

374
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,299
That was the estimated usage of
a 120unit apartment building,

375
00:20:58,382 --> 00:20:58,924
as it was phonily classified.

376
00:20:59,008 --> 00:21:01,177
But look at this monster.

377
00:21:01,260 --> 00:21:05,264
That's a big, throbbing,
ugly red megawatt number...

378
00:21:05,347 --> 00:21:06,724
Mm.
Now isn't it?

379
00:21:06,807 --> 00:21:08,392
What that column means is that

380
00:21:08,476 --> 00:21:10,394
your little operation
was pulling so much juice,

381
00:21:10,478 --> 00:21:13,355
the entire town ran
clean out of electricity.

382
00:21:13,439 --> 00:21:16,150
And had to go on the open market
to buy more from the grid.

383
00:21:16,233 --> 00:21:19,028
It cost hundreds of
thousands of dollars

384
00:21:19,111 --> 00:21:21,155
and drove the town's
entire rate up.

385
00:21:21,238 --> 00:21:24,325
Taxpayers, eating that burden.

386
00:21:24,408 --> 00:21:25,993
Because of you.

387
00:21:26,076 --> 00:21:28,287
And for what?

388
00:21:28,370 --> 00:21:30,664
So your multitude of
computers and servers

389
00:21:30,748 --> 00:21:33,334
could solve some
abstract math equations

390
00:21:33,417 --> 00:21:36,170
resulting in the mining
of Bitcoin.

391
00:21:36,253 --> 00:21:38,047
Worth millions right nowwhoopee

392
00:21:38,130 --> 00:21:39,924
but backed by what?

393
00:21:40,007 --> 00:21:42,176
Nada. Nix. Zot.

394
00:21:42,259 --> 00:21:43,677
What's the dollar backed by,

395
00:21:43,761 --> 00:21:45,161
since we went off
the gold standard?

396
00:21:45,221 --> 00:21:49,725
Well, uh, roads,
the military, industry,

397
00:21:49,809 --> 00:21:51,912
the credit of the federal
government, that sort of thing.

398
00:21:51,936 --> 00:21:54,688
But, I get your point.

399
00:21:54,772 --> 00:21:57,316
We're not here to discuss
monetary theory though.

400
00:21:57,399 --> 00:21:59,860
We're here to discuss who
put you fucking nerds

401
00:21:59,944 --> 00:22:02,571
sorry: 'engineers'
in business.

402
00:22:03,864 --> 00:22:06,951
We have information you work for
a Wall Street consortium

403
00:22:07,034 --> 00:22:09,703
There are indeed certain
finance dudes involved.

404
00:22:09,787 --> 00:22:11,705
I'll allow it.

405
00:22:11,789 --> 00:22:13,207
You don't get to "allow."

406
00:22:13,290 --> 00:22:15,125
That's for court.
Names.

407
00:22:15,209 --> 00:22:16,794
You're going to
have to say the name.

408
00:22:16,877 --> 00:22:18,712
There's no way we're saying it.

409
00:22:18,796 --> 00:22:20,023
Any number of
hedge fund magnates.

410
00:22:20,047 --> 00:22:22,883
Uh.
Let's go alphabetical.

411
00:22:22,967 --> 00:22:24,510
Axelrod, Robert, for starters.

412
00:22:24,593 --> 00:22:28,931
Yes, but none of us dealt with
that guy directly.

413
00:22:29,014 --> 00:22:30,724
Then I'm gonna need
the person in town

414
00:22:30,808 --> 00:22:32,893
who got paid off to let you
pull so much power

415
00:22:32,977 --> 00:22:34,204
you caused a brownout
across the county.

416
00:22:34,228 --> 00:22:36,605
Because he did.
Didn't he?

417
00:22:38,983 --> 00:22:42,194
You can tell me

418
00:22:42,278 --> 00:22:43,988
or I can prosecute you

419
00:22:44,071 --> 00:22:47,074
until your lives are
smoking piles of rubble

420
00:22:47,157 --> 00:22:49,243
and you're put in a place
where a calculator

421
00:22:49,326 --> 00:22:51,620
is as close as
you'll get to a computer.

422
00:22:51,704 --> 00:22:52,955
Your choice...

423
00:22:58,043 --> 00:23:00,421
It's the Town Supervisor.
His name is...

424
00:23:06,010 --> 00:23:08,095
Gimme a ticket for a carousel...

425
00:23:08,178 --> 00:23:09,430
Airplane.

426
00:23:09,513 --> 00:23:10,931
Gimme a ticket for an airplane.

427
00:23:11,015 --> 00:23:12,325
Ain't got time to
take a fast train

428
00:23:12,349 --> 00:23:13,767
No. Those go
place to place,

429
00:23:13,851 --> 00:23:14,995
I'm just going around
in circles.

430
00:23:15,019 --> 00:23:16,687
Hence the carousel.

431
00:23:16,770 --> 00:23:18,748
Why was I surprised when
Axelrod's name got mentioned?

432
00:23:18,772 --> 00:23:20,417
Why weren't you?
Because I knew he was in this.

433
00:23:20,441 --> 00:23:22,735
That's why I wanted
to go after it.

434
00:23:22,818 --> 00:23:25,237
Hmm. I'm happy to be working
with you again, Chuck.

435
00:23:25,321 --> 00:23:27,048
It has to help me advance
and grow this time.

436
00:23:27,072 --> 00:23:29,199
I came over here
To help me make this place

437
00:23:29,283 --> 00:23:31,785
the preeminent prosecutorial
office in the state.

438
00:23:31,869 --> 00:23:32,578
Which we will.
We are.

439
00:23:32,661 --> 00:23:34,538
And so you could be my rabbi

440
00:23:34,622 --> 00:23:36,302
for my congressional run,
end of next year.

441
00:23:36,373 --> 00:23:37,291
But I need to be on the inside.

442
00:23:37,374 --> 00:23:40,753
To see the moves
as they are happening.

443
00:23:40,836 --> 00:23:42,272
Not as they are
revealed to the world.

444
00:23:42,296 --> 00:23:44,131
I need to be
your worthy assistant,

445
00:23:44,214 --> 00:23:47,051
setting up the tricks and seeing
what you did with your hands.

446
00:23:47,134 --> 00:23:48,969
Not gonna be one of those rubes

447
00:23:49,053 --> 00:23:50,893
in the audience gasping
at the magic anymore...

448
00:23:55,100 --> 00:23:56,119
You know.
The thing about change is:

449
00:23:56,143 --> 00:24:00,522
even when you want to,
it's really fucking hard.

450
00:24:00,606 --> 00:24:02,399
I know I have to bring you in.

451
00:24:02,483 --> 00:24:02,942
And that I can trust you.

452
00:24:03,025 --> 00:24:05,945
I know it up here.

453
00:24:06,028 --> 00:24:07,947
And I'm working on bringing it
down here, too.

454
00:24:08,030 --> 00:24:10,115
Don't work on it.

455
00:24:10,199 --> 00:24:13,369
Do it. Now.

456
00:24:13,452 --> 00:24:14,763
You don't have to trust me,
but you have to trust me.

457
00:24:14,787 --> 00:24:16,830
Ya know?

458
00:24:16,914 --> 00:24:18,016
You're talking about
a partnership.

459
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,834
You offering that, for real?
If I don't, you staying?

460
00:24:20,918 --> 00:24:21,377
You already know the answer.

461
00:24:21,460 --> 00:24:22,628
Then you know mine.

462
00:24:22,711 --> 00:24:24,421
Yes.

463
00:24:24,505 --> 00:24:28,550
And if you see me giving in
to the man I used to be...

464
00:24:28,634 --> 00:24:29,885
I'll be all over it.

465
00:24:29,969 --> 00:24:32,012
Good.

466
00:24:32,096 --> 00:24:34,014
That's good.

467
00:24:34,098 --> 00:24:35,098
As it should be.

468
00:24:48,779 --> 00:24:53,325
Okay people, town hall time.

469
00:24:53,409 --> 00:24:55,661
This gonna be an every month
thing, like my period?

470
00:24:56,787 --> 00:24:59,081
Keep that up and we can
make it a daily thing,

471
00:24:59,164 --> 00:25:00,916
like you getting fisted.
Ohh!

472
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,877
As in up the junker
just like a punker.

473
00:25:03,961 --> 00:25:05,546
That'll teach ya
to come at the brass

474
00:25:05,629 --> 00:25:07,297
Spyros!

475
00:25:07,381 --> 00:25:11,385
This forum should be
looked forward to.

476
00:25:11,468 --> 00:25:13,220
It's a chance for us
to investigate issues

477
00:25:13,303 --> 00:25:14,543
that affect our culture here...

478
00:25:14,596 --> 00:25:15,723
But this time it's serious.

479
00:25:15,806 --> 00:25:18,559
There was an incident

480
00:25:18,642 --> 00:25:20,978
someone reversing the water
on the toilet flush

481
00:25:21,061 --> 00:25:23,814
in the unisex bathroom,
which sprayed a Mase Capper...

482
00:25:25,566 --> 00:25:27,544
Gross negligence on the part of
building maintenance.

483
00:25:27,568 --> 00:25:29,737
And, uh, oh, II do mean gross.

484
00:25:29,820 --> 00:25:32,031
No one can prove it was sabotage

485
00:25:32,114 --> 00:25:33,449
Give me that.

486
00:25:34,992 --> 00:25:37,661
This shitliterally
has got to stop.

487
00:25:37,745 --> 00:25:39,038
There were investors
on premises.

488
00:25:39,121 --> 00:25:40,456
They may redeem.

489
00:25:40,539 --> 00:25:42,374
We're making ourselves look like

490
00:25:42,458 --> 00:25:43,792
worldclass schmucks here.

491
00:25:43,876 --> 00:25:45,586
So now it's time:

492
00:25:45,669 --> 00:25:47,171
We need to come together

493
00:25:47,254 --> 00:25:50,215
as one company, one team,
one family.

494
00:25:50,299 --> 00:25:52,468
Now I want to hear from you all

495
00:25:52,551 --> 00:25:55,054
about what exactly
the problem is here.

496
00:26:01,351 --> 00:26:03,479
This is a safe space.

497
00:26:05,022 --> 00:26:06,523
Fine, I'll speak.

498
00:26:06,607 --> 00:26:09,860
Far from being welcoming
these last couple of months,

499
00:26:09,943 --> 00:26:11,987
the Axe Cap folks have been
downright dickish...

500
00:26:12,071 --> 00:26:12,905
What?!

501
00:26:12,988 --> 00:26:15,657
Oh, did I not
properly welcome you?

502
00:26:15,741 --> 00:26:17,261
Let me correct that rudeness
right now.

503
00:26:25,042 --> 00:26:27,628
And just so you know I'm not
some thinskinned whiner,

504
00:26:27,711 --> 00:26:29,314
I've been through Plebe Summer
at the Naval Academy.

505
00:26:29,338 --> 00:26:31,381
Wow.

506
00:26:31,465 --> 00:26:33,467
This goes beyond
practical jokes.

507
00:26:33,550 --> 00:26:36,261
It's getting hostile
and it's unprofessional.

508
00:26:36,345 --> 00:26:38,597
Exaggerated.
Totally.

509
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,933
I've got to say, this isn't
a oneway street.

510
00:26:41,016 --> 00:26:42,142
Oh, please

511
00:26:42,226 --> 00:26:44,144
There's a... haughty,

512
00:26:44,228 --> 00:26:47,147
condescending attitude
flowing from the quant side.

513
00:26:47,231 --> 00:26:47,898
Bunch of stuckup
bitches and bros.

514
00:26:47,981 --> 00:26:50,150
Yeah!

515
00:26:50,234 --> 00:26:52,277
Lording their giant cerebellums

516
00:26:52,361 --> 00:26:53,904
And we're not some
Luddite dumbasses

517
00:26:53,987 --> 00:26:55,781
just because we come from
an analysisdriven

518
00:26:55,864 --> 00:26:57,574
Could've fooled me

519
00:26:57,658 --> 00:26:59,344
So we don't want to debate
Full Stack versus Mean Stack

520
00:26:59,368 --> 00:27:01,537
over bagels in the kitchen.

521
00:27:01,620 --> 00:27:03,205
That doesn't mean
we can't do the math

522
00:27:03,288 --> 00:27:04,957
Uh. Yes, it does

523
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:06,667
Some of us can do the math!

524
00:27:06,750 --> 00:27:07,334
Some of them can't.
Mafee.

525
00:27:07,417 --> 00:27:10,087
Suck my Node. js, Bill
Oh!

526
00:27:10,170 --> 00:27:11,930
You don't even know
what the fuck that means.

527
00:27:14,133 --> 00:27:15,342
Alright. Hey.

528
00:27:15,425 --> 00:27:16,677
I'll take you outside!
I will...

529
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,011
Hey! Hey! Hey!

530
00:27:18,095 --> 00:27:21,098
Let's go!
Hey!

531
00:27:21,181 --> 00:27:22,933
Meeting fucking adjourned.

532
00:27:23,016 --> 00:27:26,019
For now.

533
00:27:26,103 --> 00:27:28,689
But this is far from over.
Your homework for next time

534
00:27:28,772 --> 00:27:31,024
Homework?
Fucking right.

535
00:27:31,108 --> 00:27:32,192
You will each of you will

536
00:27:32,276 --> 00:27:34,903
come up with three
productive things that you,

537
00:27:34,987 --> 00:27:37,823
personally, can do to
make this place function better.

538
00:27:37,906 --> 00:27:40,367
Do it.
Or risk me getting really mad.

539
00:27:52,129 --> 00:27:52,880
We both know it:

540
00:27:52,963 --> 00:27:54,882
with this business
the way it is,

541
00:27:54,965 --> 00:27:56,258
it's a fight just to survive.

542
00:27:56,341 --> 00:27:57,718
We need unity.

543
00:27:57,801 --> 00:27:59,636
And this discord
I won't have it.

544
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,948
The one you should be having
this conversation with is Axe.

545
00:28:01,972 --> 00:28:03,741
It's his Plug Uglies that are
doing the instigating.

546
00:28:03,765 --> 00:28:04,933
And we both know that.

547
00:28:05,017 --> 00:28:06,560
I did have this conversation
with him

548
00:28:06,643 --> 00:28:08,729
before he left on his trip.
And?

549
00:28:08,812 --> 00:28:11,398
He said something very similar
to what you just did.

550
00:28:11,481 --> 00:28:13,567
All systems have to die
eventually.

551
00:28:13,650 --> 00:28:14,902
Excuse me.

552
00:28:45,349 --> 00:28:46,266
You okay?

553
00:28:46,350 --> 00:28:48,060
I don't know which end,

554
00:28:48,143 --> 00:28:50,729
but I feel like
something's gonna come out.

555
00:28:50,812 --> 00:28:53,690
Well. You can handle your drugs,
must have been the bumpy road.

556
00:28:53,774 --> 00:28:55,609
Bumpy is right.

557
00:28:55,692 --> 00:28:56,944
I've got a case of the grapes

558
00:28:57,027 --> 00:28:58,570
like they talk about
in literature.

559
00:29:07,955 --> 00:29:08,538
You know,
what we took last night

560
00:29:08,622 --> 00:29:11,291
is nature's antidepressant.

561
00:29:11,375 --> 00:29:13,669
I see the value.

562
00:29:13,752 --> 00:29:18,173
The clarity I had,
the perspective.

563
00:29:19,383 --> 00:29:20,300
Everyone should have the chance

564
00:29:20,384 --> 00:29:23,637
to gaze upon their life
from that perch.

565
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:27,808
But I did not like what I saw
from that perch.

566
00:29:27,891 --> 00:29:29,810
Well, archon,
we had to do something

567
00:29:29,893 --> 00:29:32,688
to ring in your status.

568
00:29:32,771 --> 00:29:36,483
Most never make it to a million
much less a billion.

569
00:29:36,566 --> 00:29:40,112
And you have ascended to that
lofty plateau of ten of those.

570
00:29:40,195 --> 00:29:42,197
If a personal net worth
of ten big tubs

571
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:43,907
doesn't bring a smile
to your face

572
00:29:43,991 --> 00:29:44,533
'You're in the wrong
line of work?'

573
00:29:44,616 --> 00:29:46,785
Mm.
Well. Maybe I am.

574
00:29:46,868 --> 00:29:51,915
I thought all of this would
make me feel...

575
00:29:51,999 --> 00:29:53,375
good.

576
00:29:53,458 --> 00:29:55,043
If this doesn't...

577
00:29:55,127 --> 00:29:58,255
Yeah.

578
00:29:58,338 --> 00:29:59,840
What will?

579
00:29:59,923 --> 00:30:02,676
Maybe this.

580
00:30:05,804 --> 00:30:08,890
An invitation for you to do
a Vanity Fair cover photo shoot

581
00:30:08,974 --> 00:30:10,851
for the "New Decas" issue,

582
00:30:10,934 --> 00:30:12,352
all about the rarified few

583
00:30:12,436 --> 00:30:13,579
who have hit
the ten billion dollar mark.

584
00:30:13,603 --> 00:30:15,689
That cover is
valuable real estate.

585
00:30:15,772 --> 00:30:18,400
Lot of fresh capital
flowing in after it.

586
00:30:18,483 --> 00:30:19,735
It's worth it

587
00:30:19,818 --> 00:30:21,862
No, no, we're here,
we're doing this.

588
00:30:21,945 --> 00:30:24,031
We should see it through.

589
00:30:24,114 --> 00:30:27,075
Thirtyfour hundred
more miles to go.

590
00:30:27,159 --> 00:30:29,077
Yeah. Sure. Okay.

591
00:30:29,161 --> 00:30:31,038
Somebody else will probably
get the cover.

592
00:30:31,121 --> 00:30:34,875
Is our claim to fame
Probably... Mike Prince.

593
00:30:34,958 --> 00:30:36,376
Huh...

594
00:30:36,460 --> 00:30:37,836
So, what's your call?

595
00:30:37,919 --> 00:30:39,379
I can hear them say

596
00:30:39,463 --> 00:30:43,550
Bad company

597
00:30:43,633 --> 00:30:46,762
And I won't deny

598
00:30:49,473 --> 00:30:53,060
Bad, bad company

599
00:30:53,143 --> 00:30:55,103
Till the day I die

600
00:30:55,187 --> 00:30:58,690
Oh, yeah, till the day I die

601
00:30:58,774 --> 00:31:01,693
When did you know
it wasn't just me?

602
00:31:01,777 --> 00:31:03,737
That doesn't matter at all.

603
00:31:03,820 --> 00:31:05,238
It's the New Decas!

604
00:31:05,322 --> 00:31:06,323
The TenBillion crew.

605
00:31:06,406 --> 00:31:09,242
The crema on top of
the crèmedelacrème.

606
00:31:09,326 --> 00:31:11,203
And you are right
in the center of it.

607
00:31:11,286 --> 00:31:12,871
Because who is
more Deca than you?

608
00:31:12,954 --> 00:31:15,123
What this gathering
seems to say is that:

609
00:31:15,207 --> 00:31:15,916
We're all about the same.

610
00:31:15,999 --> 00:31:18,251
Which is not really the message

611
00:31:18,335 --> 00:31:19,729
I'm looking to get out
to our investors.

612
00:31:19,753 --> 00:31:21,088
You're not gonna look the same.

613
00:31:21,171 --> 00:31:23,840
Not with your posture,
the way you set your eyes...

614
00:31:23,924 --> 00:31:25,902
And where you really set
yourself apart is the interview.

615
00:31:25,926 --> 00:31:26,760
We'll do a five minute power
session before you sit

616
00:31:26,843 --> 00:31:28,762
Is this why you made sure
she came with?

617
00:31:28,845 --> 00:31:31,098
That and So I wouldn't kill you?

618
00:31:31,181 --> 00:31:32,724
I did think if
there were a witness,

619
00:31:32,808 --> 00:31:33,433
it would be harder for you
to commit homicide.

620
00:31:33,517 --> 00:31:35,811
Harder.
Not impossible.

621
00:31:35,894 --> 00:31:39,272
But it's good you made sure
she's here.

622
00:31:39,356 --> 00:31:41,691
Wend, let's go psych out
these motherfuckers,

623
00:31:41,775 --> 00:31:43,002
so they look shook
on that cover.

624
00:31:43,026 --> 00:31:44,266
We can do that.
We will do that.

625
00:31:50,575 --> 00:31:53,245
Ah, the 'great man.'

626
00:31:55,914 --> 00:31:57,290
Mmhmm.

627
00:31:57,374 --> 00:31:59,626
Mike...

628
00:31:59,709 --> 00:32:00,544
'Lo, Axe.

629
00:32:00,627 --> 00:32:01,711
Scooter.
Wagsy.

630
00:32:01,795 --> 00:32:02,995
I see you're still making sure

631
00:32:03,046 --> 00:32:04,798
his hand never touches
a doorknob.

632
00:32:04,881 --> 00:32:06,484
As you are trying and failing to
do the same for your general.

633
00:32:06,508 --> 00:32:07,592
Michael Prince.

634
00:32:07,676 --> 00:32:09,386
Michael "Thomas Aquinas" Prince.

635
00:32:09,469 --> 00:32:10,679
Really?

636
00:32:10,762 --> 00:32:12,639
Always an honor
to meet a legend.

637
00:32:12,722 --> 00:32:15,976
And yes, just like my father
and his father and his and his.

638
00:32:16,059 --> 00:32:18,145
Better than St. Blaise,

639
00:32:18,228 --> 00:32:20,063
patron saint of throat ailments.

640
00:32:20,147 --> 00:32:22,983
If that were the name
my Dad and the rest wore,

641
00:32:23,066 --> 00:32:24,568
I'd bear it proudly.

642
00:32:24,651 --> 00:32:25,711
I have no doubt
you'd find a way to be proud.

643
00:32:25,735 --> 00:32:28,155
With just a dash
of humility on top.

644
00:32:28,238 --> 00:32:32,993
A man with no humility is
a man with no pride at all.

645
00:32:33,076 --> 00:32:35,412
Alright, let's do this.

646
00:32:42,210 --> 00:32:43,670
How are ya?

647
00:32:46,756 --> 00:32:48,675
Turn a little bit intoYep.

648
00:32:51,803 --> 00:32:53,555
Couldn't get him
the cover alone, huh?

649
00:32:53,638 --> 00:32:56,016
Wags, so sad.

650
00:32:56,099 --> 00:32:56,892
We didn't want a solo cover.

651
00:32:56,975 --> 00:32:59,352
Too much focus,
too much attention.

652
00:32:59,436 --> 00:33:01,229
We are at the place
in our livesall of us

653
00:33:01,313 --> 00:33:03,857
where it is time to turn
our focus to others.

654
00:33:03,940 --> 00:33:05,609
You guys got to feel
the same way, right?

655
00:33:05,692 --> 00:33:08,403
No, of course, mos' def.

656
00:33:08,486 --> 00:33:10,572
Indube.

657
00:33:10,655 --> 00:33:12,866
Okay, everybody, eyes over here.

658
00:33:15,076 --> 00:33:18,163
You know, they didn't tell me
you'd be here, Axe.

659
00:33:18,246 --> 00:33:19,873
Yeah, they failed to
mention that detail

660
00:33:19,956 --> 00:33:21,666
in the pitch to me, too.

661
00:33:21,750 --> 00:33:24,544
Been a faster "yes" had I known.
Awesome.

662
00:33:24,628 --> 00:33:27,214
Ball coach in high school
told it to me, I never forgot:

663
00:33:27,297 --> 00:33:29,174
You make sure the guy
passing the ball

664
00:33:29,257 --> 00:33:31,218
to the guy passing it to you
gets as much credit

665
00:33:31,301 --> 00:33:32,844
as you do for
putting it in the hoop.

666
00:33:32,928 --> 00:33:35,305
Yeah. But it was you
won Mr. Basketball

667
00:33:35,388 --> 00:33:36,223
in the state of Indiana
that year, wasn't it?

668
00:33:36,306 --> 00:33:38,433
Not the other guys.
Yep.

669
00:33:38,516 --> 00:33:39,744
Only because my teammates
were so great.

670
00:33:39,768 --> 00:33:40,977
Great.

671
00:33:41,061 --> 00:33:42,687
It's much more fun
to share the praise.

672
00:33:42,771 --> 00:33:44,707
Oh. Sure it is. Wish my whole
team was here with me.

673
00:33:44,731 --> 00:33:45,917
Yeah.
Which is why I was hoping

674
00:33:45,941 --> 00:33:47,418
you'd make it to 'The Mike'
this year.

675
00:33:47,442 --> 00:33:48,485
We could keep this going.

676
00:33:48,568 --> 00:33:50,403
I already accepted.

677
00:33:50,487 --> 00:33:51,797
As you always do,
but then you never show up.

678
00:33:51,821 --> 00:33:54,699
Well. I always mean to,
you know?

679
00:33:54,783 --> 00:33:56,117
We'd love to host you.

680
00:33:56,201 --> 00:33:57,994
You and I could do
a fireside chat.

681
00:33:58,078 --> 00:33:58,703
It'd be the highlight
of the conference.

682
00:33:58,787 --> 00:34:00,580
Ah.
Maybe this year we will.

683
00:34:02,082 --> 00:34:04,459
Awesome.
This looks great.

684
00:34:04,542 --> 00:34:06,920
He seems in prime form.

685
00:34:07,003 --> 00:34:08,546
So how was your trip?

686
00:34:08,630 --> 00:34:10,423
Good.

687
00:34:10,507 --> 00:34:12,384
I met the Creator of Souls.

688
00:34:14,844 --> 00:34:16,429
Oh.

689
00:34:16,513 --> 00:34:17,514
Turn your bodies

690
00:34:17,597 --> 00:34:19,391
a little bit over
on that one, please.

691
00:34:19,474 --> 00:34:21,234
Yeah, that's great.
No. That's good. Perfect.

692
00:34:23,019 --> 00:34:24,271
That was really good.

693
00:34:24,354 --> 00:34:26,231
You got it?
Yeah. I think we're great.

694
00:34:26,314 --> 00:34:28,066
Alright.
Let's break down the set

695
00:34:28,149 --> 00:34:31,027
and, uh, get ready for
the individual portraits.

696
00:34:36,366 --> 00:34:38,034
Got a problem upstate.
The mining town.

697
00:34:38,118 --> 00:34:40,954
I can't sit for the portrait
or the interview.

698
00:34:41,037 --> 00:34:43,123
We reschedule for tomorrow.

699
00:35:06,771 --> 00:35:08,148
You asked for me.

700
00:35:09,649 --> 00:35:12,652
(I know that a) you don't
directly work for Axe Cap

701
00:35:12,736 --> 00:35:14,088
(and b) this isn't
exactly your job

702
00:35:14,112 --> 00:35:17,240
but I was hoping you might
help me with something.

703
00:35:17,324 --> 00:35:19,084
Why am I the one that
It's a sensitive thing.

704
00:35:20,410 --> 00:35:22,329
It needs to be released
to the right people,

705
00:35:22,412 --> 00:35:23,997
in the right way,

706
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,875
I figure with your experience,
with your delicate touch

707
00:35:26,958 --> 00:35:28,710
With my connections from

708
00:35:28,793 --> 00:35:30,503
my W Magazine and NY Post
gossip days?

709
00:35:30,587 --> 00:35:33,214
Yeah.

710
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:42,599
You sure you want to do this?

711
00:35:42,682 --> 00:35:45,185
Chuck was supposed to do it.
He didn't.

712
00:35:45,268 --> 00:35:47,187
So when one of us wants
to... move on,

713
00:35:47,270 --> 00:35:48,730
with other people, in public,

714
00:35:48,813 --> 00:35:51,983
I don't want them to think
it's some kind of a scoop.

715
00:35:52,067 --> 00:35:53,652
Give the press a little red meat

716
00:35:53,735 --> 00:35:55,421
so they don't come looking for
the kill later.

717
00:35:55,445 --> 00:35:57,697
Smart.

718
00:35:57,781 --> 00:36:02,160
There are a couple phrases
I might switch around.

719
00:36:02,243 --> 00:36:04,454
Do it.
I'll email it to you.

720
00:36:04,537 --> 00:36:06,873
I trust you to make it better.

721
00:36:06,956 --> 00:36:09,042
That's what I'd say
to someone to let them know

722
00:36:09,125 --> 00:36:10,877
that I see them,
that they're special.

723
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,338
Leave 'em feeling great
for doing me a service.

724
00:36:13,421 --> 00:36:14,506
But you're smoother.

725
00:36:14,589 --> 00:36:16,966
I think I might be able to
learn something from you.

726
00:36:17,050 --> 00:36:20,303
I will handle this right away.

727
00:36:21,763 --> 00:36:23,556
But first,

728
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,935
let me learn from you.

729
00:36:27,018 --> 00:36:29,813
How do we fix this bullshit
between your crew and ours?

730
00:36:29,896 --> 00:36:31,648
It's getting tribal out there.

731
00:36:31,731 --> 00:36:33,191
I'm not sure that's the problem.

732
00:36:33,274 --> 00:36:35,360
It might just be
the result of the problem.

733
00:36:35,443 --> 00:36:38,947
Instead of thinking about
the culture conflict,

734
00:36:39,030 --> 00:36:41,366
maybe think about
the culture itself.

735
00:36:41,449 --> 00:36:42,575
In what way?

736
00:36:42,659 --> 00:36:43,451
Mafee says Axe Cap used to be

737
00:36:43,535 --> 00:36:45,412
the most fun place
to work on earth.

738
00:36:45,495 --> 00:36:46,496
At one point.

739
00:36:46,579 --> 00:36:48,248
Yeah. For a time.

740
00:36:48,331 --> 00:36:50,375
Not lately.
And not just from Mafee.

741
00:36:50,458 --> 00:36:52,627
The stories are out there
the way I hear it,

742
00:36:52,711 --> 00:36:54,713
this place used to be
outrageous.

743
00:36:54,796 --> 00:36:56,381
Eating contests, body sushi,

744
00:36:56,464 --> 00:36:58,304
impromptu trips on
the private jet to Amsterdam

745
00:36:58,341 --> 00:37:00,260
for frites and spacecakes
from The Bulldog.

746
00:37:00,343 --> 00:37:05,181
Fucking fun, you know,
where anything could happen.

747
00:37:05,265 --> 00:37:08,143
Now, everyone's feeling
the pressure of the numbers.

748
00:37:08,226 --> 00:37:09,519
The quarter.
The PandL.

749
00:37:09,602 --> 00:37:11,855
Important. Also dry.

750
00:37:11,938 --> 00:37:14,774
And pressure kills
results. I can rise above.

751
00:37:14,858 --> 00:37:16,377
But if you want the rest of
these folks to stop

752
00:37:16,401 --> 00:37:17,110
thinking of each other
as enemies

753
00:37:17,193 --> 00:37:19,738
and come together as a unit,

754
00:37:19,821 --> 00:37:21,948
you've got to put some fun
back in this bish.

755
00:37:22,031 --> 00:37:24,409
Start tossing midgets
or something.

756
00:37:24,492 --> 00:37:28,455
Or call 'em little people
if that makes you feel better.

757
00:37:28,538 --> 00:37:30,290
But toss 'em.

758
00:37:31,708 --> 00:37:32,834
You're right.

759
00:37:54,355 --> 00:37:56,649
Becky, Wendy Rhoades.
Long time.

760
00:38:07,911 --> 00:38:09,817
I spoke to Bach:

761
00:38:09,900 --> 00:38:12,703
The cryptomine action
was done by the State AG

762
00:38:12,786 --> 00:38:14,329
not the US Attorney or the DA.

763
00:38:14,413 --> 00:38:17,040
It was Chuck Rhoades.

764
00:38:17,124 --> 00:38:19,459
Isn't that fucking cute.

765
00:38:19,543 --> 00:38:20,794
Okay.

766
00:38:20,878 --> 00:38:22,796
So. We've got to
minimize damage

767
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,465
and figure out a way to get up
and running elsewhere.

768
00:38:25,549 --> 00:38:27,009
Also. We need to
talk to the other

769
00:38:27,092 --> 00:38:28,361
fund managers that
we partnered with.

770
00:38:28,385 --> 00:38:29,779
But you're the only one
who might be able

771
00:38:29,803 --> 00:38:31,096
to make this go away.
Yeah.

772
00:38:31,179 --> 00:38:32,848
Okay. So.
I'll see what I can do.

773
00:38:32,931 --> 00:38:34,492
But in the meantime you make
sure that the click monkeys

774
00:38:34,516 --> 00:38:37,561
and our inside man get
some nice insulation, okay

775
00:38:37,644 --> 00:38:39,364
get 'em good lawyers
and make 'em understand

776
00:38:39,396 --> 00:38:39,771
they should stand up.

777
00:38:39,855 --> 00:38:41,857
Yep.
On it.

778
00:38:56,247 --> 00:38:57,165
Hello.

779
00:38:57,248 --> 00:39:00,085
Hey, Chuck.
I need to see you...

780
00:39:00,169 --> 00:39:01,545
As soon as you can do it.

781
00:39:01,629 --> 00:39:03,148
I'll tell you what
it's about in person.

782
00:39:03,172 --> 00:39:04,733
Well. I'm, uh,
in the middle of something,

783
00:39:04,757 --> 00:39:06,300
it's going to
have to be tomorrow.

784
00:39:06,383 --> 00:39:07,944
What you're in the middle of
is what it's all about.

785
00:39:07,968 --> 00:39:09,970
Needs to be now.

786
00:39:11,722 --> 00:39:14,808
Well. Sorry, pard,
it's going to have to hold.

787
00:39:40,376 --> 00:39:41,669
Rage room?

788
00:39:41,752 --> 00:39:42,812
I don't see a situation
where I'd

789
00:39:42,836 --> 00:39:46,799
I can't imagine the pressure
building inside of you

790
00:39:46,882 --> 00:39:49,176
as you try to navigate
what you're trying to.

791
00:39:49,259 --> 00:39:50,094
All without ever
losing your cool

792
00:39:50,177 --> 00:39:52,680
or letting on
how you really feel.

793
00:39:52,763 --> 00:39:54,824
Just letting everyone believe
I see the world the way they do.

794
00:39:54,848 --> 00:39:56,642
I've got this.

795
00:39:56,725 --> 00:39:59,520
Just so you know,
there's an outlet

796
00:39:59,603 --> 00:40:02,564
for when you can't keep it
off your face anymore.

797
00:40:34,763 --> 00:40:37,474
Hmm.

798
00:40:42,479 --> 00:40:44,690
I was about to break my PB.

799
00:40:44,773 --> 00:40:47,234
For swimming in place?

800
00:40:47,317 --> 00:40:50,195
This is the most time and energy
efficient way to get laps in.

801
00:40:50,279 --> 00:40:51,655
No need for flip turns.
Ah.

802
00:40:51,739 --> 00:40:53,866
And I'm not sure questioning
my workout practices

803
00:40:53,949 --> 00:40:56,285
is something I'd do
Then let me make a flip turn

804
00:40:56,368 --> 00:40:59,747
and tell you about the call
I just got from Axe.

805
00:40:59,830 --> 00:41:02,332
I have him in
a Peruvian Necktie.

806
00:41:02,416 --> 00:41:04,293
You know what that is?
No. But it sounds tight.

807
00:41:04,376 --> 00:41:05,461
Mm.
Gets even tighter.

808
00:41:05,544 --> 00:41:08,589
I made a certain bust
in the crypto space.

809
00:41:08,672 --> 00:41:10,841
One that's costing him
a lot of money.

810
00:41:10,924 --> 00:41:13,510
Which you wouldn't have
stumbled upon but for me.

811
00:41:13,594 --> 00:41:17,681
What I need now is for you to
get close to any small,

812
00:41:17,765 --> 00:41:20,142
seemingly offthecuff meetings
you see happening,

813
00:41:20,225 --> 00:41:21,286
to listen to the whispers, to

814
00:41:21,310 --> 00:41:22,328
You still don't know how
all the pieces go together

815
00:41:22,352 --> 00:41:24,855
on the crypto thing, huh?

816
00:41:24,938 --> 00:41:26,541
I can't tie it to Axe as is,
if that's what you're asking.

817
00:41:26,565 --> 00:41:28,358
Which means this thing
won't touch him.

818
00:41:28,442 --> 00:41:30,944
Axe still isn't
talking to me about

819
00:41:31,028 --> 00:41:32,788
what you might call
'the deckle of the chop.'

820
00:41:32,863 --> 00:41:35,616
Mm. Just nibbling
at the edges, huh?

821
00:41:35,699 --> 00:41:37,534
And, uh, swimming in place.

822
00:41:37,618 --> 00:41:39,328
As you see, yes.

823
00:41:39,411 --> 00:41:40,847
But you have both the
imagination and the perseverance

824
00:41:40,871 --> 00:41:44,666
to convince yourself that
this is not treading water.

825
00:41:44,750 --> 00:41:45,852
What this pool says about you

826
00:41:45,876 --> 00:41:49,129
is that you have the capacity
to fight boredom,

827
00:41:49,213 --> 00:41:52,841
the tide, the endless,
beating march against you.

828
00:41:52,925 --> 00:41:55,260
These are basically
the only qualities of my own

829
00:41:55,344 --> 00:41:57,054
that are worth a damn.

830
00:41:57,137 --> 00:41:58,806
They speak well of you.

831
00:41:58,889 --> 00:42:00,617
And are almost the direct
opposite of the qualities

832
00:42:00,641 --> 00:42:05,521
that make Axe the shining light
of his age.

833
00:42:05,604 --> 00:42:10,442
Oh. People like us must destroy
people like him.

834
00:42:10,526 --> 00:42:12,486
You're not wrong.

835
00:42:12,569 --> 00:42:14,172
I understand how
and why you see it that way.

836
00:42:14,196 --> 00:42:16,490
As I, of course, do.

837
00:42:16,573 --> 00:42:18,492
I will try my best.

838
00:42:18,575 --> 00:42:21,161
I trust that you will.

839
00:42:51,859 --> 00:42:55,696
Did you serve me best by
letting me walk into that shoot,

840
00:42:55,779 --> 00:42:57,406
or would it have been
better to prep me,

841
00:42:57,489 --> 00:42:59,217
deal with the consequences
of me refusing to go?

842
00:42:59,241 --> 00:43:01,034
Well, which is it?

843
00:43:01,118 --> 00:43:02,411
I haven't decided yet.

844
00:43:02,494 --> 00:43:03,680
Yes you have.
And you're here to thank me.

845
00:43:03,704 --> 00:43:07,875
I'm here because when I hit
the ten billion mark,

846
00:43:07,958 --> 00:43:10,002
I felt a flicker of excitement

847
00:43:10,085 --> 00:43:11,729
about the same as finding
a twenty dollar bill

848
00:43:11,753 --> 00:43:15,174
on the sidewalk,
and then... nothing.

849
00:43:15,257 --> 00:43:17,843
The ayahuasca...

850
00:43:17,926 --> 00:43:21,346
I had a moment of seeing
the whole thing, from above,

851
00:43:21,430 --> 00:43:25,058
from inside,
from a whole other dimension.

852
00:43:25,142 --> 00:43:26,327
But even from
every vantage point.

853
00:43:26,351 --> 00:43:31,064
What I saw was ugliness,

854
00:43:31,148 --> 00:43:33,734
and while maybe
I hadn't lost yet,

855
00:43:33,817 --> 00:43:35,903
there was no feeling that

856
00:43:35,986 --> 00:43:38,238
that I'd won.

857
00:43:38,322 --> 00:43:40,407
None at all.

858
00:43:40,490 --> 00:43:43,327
You would never allow yourself
to take it in,

859
00:43:43,410 --> 00:43:45,037
to appreciate it,

860
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:47,581
because that would mean
acknowledging you'd done well,

861
00:43:47,664 --> 00:43:49,958
succeeded, won the game.

862
00:43:50,042 --> 00:43:52,294
That there was a place to pause.
Or stop.

863
00:43:52,377 --> 00:43:53,921
Is it a game can be won?

864
00:43:54,004 --> 00:43:58,425
Eh. The answer to that is
a philosophical axiom

865
00:43:58,508 --> 00:44:00,886
true without needing
to be proved:

866
00:44:00,969 --> 00:44:02,489
When you decide you've won,
you've won.

867
00:44:02,554 --> 00:44:03,889
Until then, no.

868
00:44:03,972 --> 00:44:06,725
Hmm.

869
00:44:13,857 --> 00:44:15,817
So you gonna thank me?

870
00:44:24,910 --> 00:44:27,162
You asked for Vanity Fair.

871
00:44:27,246 --> 00:44:28,956
This is last month's.

872
00:44:29,039 --> 00:44:30,359
The one he's gracing
the cover of.

873
00:44:30,415 --> 00:44:31,875
The only one that matters.

874
00:44:31,959 --> 00:44:33,794
It's not out yet.

875
00:44:33,877 --> 00:44:35,671
It's hitting online shortly.

876
00:44:37,089 --> 00:44:38,632
Hmm.

877
00:44:38,715 --> 00:44:42,135
I'd like to try this.

878
00:44:42,219 --> 00:44:44,596
Huh. On it, sire.

879
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:46,640
Update on the crypto situation.

880
00:44:46,723 --> 00:44:47,975
Our miners walked.

881
00:44:48,058 --> 00:44:48,725
Huh. That was quick.
Yeah.

882
00:44:48,809 --> 00:44:49,643
You think they cut a deal?

883
00:44:49,726 --> 00:44:51,812
If those little shits
cut a deal, I will

884
00:44:51,895 --> 00:44:53,331
Of course they cut a deal.
What else?

885
00:44:53,355 --> 00:44:54,582
The Town Supervisor
was picked up.

886
00:44:54,606 --> 00:44:56,149
He's being held without bail.

887
00:44:56,233 --> 00:44:56,942
They're squeezing him.

888
00:44:57,025 --> 00:44:59,861
Vanity Fair article dropped.

889
00:45:04,658 --> 00:45:07,327
Those inkstained motherfuckers.

890
00:45:07,411 --> 00:45:09,037
Sonofabitch.

891
00:45:09,121 --> 00:45:10,956
Mike Prince made a move.

892
00:45:11,039 --> 00:45:12,749
Fuck.
We'll have this taken down.

893
00:45:12,833 --> 00:45:13,667
We'll pay to pull back
the print version.

894
00:45:13,750 --> 00:45:16,336
We'll pulp
the whole goddamned run.

895
00:45:16,420 --> 00:45:18,380
Enough, Wags.
You got flanked by his guy

896
00:45:18,463 --> 00:45:20,841
Fucking Scooter
And I got flanked by him.

897
00:45:23,427 --> 00:45:25,178
"Investors with
a traditional strategy,

898
00:45:25,262 --> 00:45:26,447
like Axe, have become legends,

899
00:45:26,471 --> 00:45:27,711
and they deserve to be legends.

900
00:45:27,764 --> 00:45:30,017
But legends fade,
and their value is then

901
00:45:30,100 --> 00:45:31,327
mostly in the stories
about them,

902
00:45:31,351 --> 00:45:35,105
lessons to future generations
on what to do, what not to do."

903
00:45:35,188 --> 00:45:36,481
Fucking Prince's pull quote.

904
00:45:36,565 --> 00:45:38,066
Fucker is putting me
out to pasture.

905
00:45:38,150 --> 00:45:39,818
Cocksuc There's more:

906
00:45:39,901 --> 00:45:41,587
"But I'm not interested in
becoming a story just yet.

907
00:45:41,611 --> 00:45:43,196
So I change with the times.

908
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:45,699
Investors like me, who are
also business operators,

909
00:45:45,782 --> 00:45:47,743
are always on the cutting edge,

910
00:45:47,826 --> 00:45:49,947
shifting to machine
learning and impact investing,

911
00:45:50,030 --> 00:45:53,366
not just for profit but for
the profitability of mankind."

912
00:45:53,450 --> 00:45:54,993
Prick.

913
00:45:55,076 --> 00:45:56,178
You want me to look over
his companies for weakness?

914
00:45:56,202 --> 00:45:58,621
Maybe put some shorts on?

915
00:45:58,705 --> 00:46:00,123
No.

916
00:46:00,206 --> 00:46:01,434
He's too big, he's too powerful.

917
00:46:01,458 --> 00:46:03,960
Man's a Grizz,
Kodiak Island sized.

918
00:46:04,044 --> 00:46:06,546
And dangerous.

919
00:46:08,381 --> 00:46:11,760
We got to get close
to bring him down.

920
00:46:21,811 --> 00:46:24,981
Hey. Good looking cover,
Mike, congratulations.

921
00:46:25,065 --> 00:46:25,940
Kind of you to call, Axe.

922
00:46:26,024 --> 00:46:27,606
I thought we were all
going to be on there,

923
00:46:27,630 --> 00:46:29,150
I don't know how the hell
they decided

924
00:46:29,234 --> 00:46:30,156
to go with that picture of me.

925
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:32,225
Yeah, of course.
How could you.

926
00:46:32,308 --> 00:46:34,476
Me? I don't need
that kind of press

927
00:46:34,559 --> 00:46:36,773
you know, investors and
all but good for you.

928
00:46:36,856 --> 00:46:39,859
Anyway, I've, uh,
decided the time is right.

929
00:46:39,943 --> 00:46:41,945
Let's have that fireside chat.

930
00:46:42,028 --> 00:46:44,322
Oh, that's great news.
Great.

931
00:46:44,406 --> 00:46:46,241
It'll be the highlight
of the conference.

932
00:46:46,324 --> 00:46:49,202
I'm looking forward to
Yeah, me too.

933
00:46:51,621 --> 00:46:53,373
Try to take me out
in some magazine?

934
00:46:53,456 --> 00:46:55,417
I'll come see you
on your home fucking turf.

935
00:46:58,253 --> 00:47:00,213
Motherfucker, just let me in.

936
00:47:00,297 --> 00:47:01,131
Who are you?

937
00:47:01,214 --> 00:47:02,841
I will run right through you.

938
00:47:02,924 --> 00:47:04,509
Who am I?
Let me in.

939
00:47:04,592 --> 00:47:05,820
Yeah, I'm just gonna
call security,

940
00:47:05,844 --> 00:47:07,512
and you need to stop yelling.

941
00:47:07,595 --> 00:47:09,240
No, you're not gonna
call security, you stupid dope.

942
00:47:09,264 --> 00:47:10,849
I will freakin'
dance on your head.

943
00:47:10,932 --> 00:47:12,976
I need to see Wendy Rhoades.

944
00:47:13,059 --> 00:47:14,686
Not without an appointment.

945
00:47:14,769 --> 00:47:16,980
You tell Wendy Rhoades
to get out of her little office

946
00:47:17,063 --> 00:47:17,772
right now before I go back there

947
00:47:17,856 --> 00:47:19,858
and fuck the head off her!

948
00:47:19,941 --> 00:47:21,585
I told you to never come to
my place of work!

949
00:47:21,609 --> 00:47:23,028
You're gonna have to
throw me out.

950
00:47:23,111 --> 00:47:24,946
Whoa!

951
00:47:25,030 --> 00:47:26,156
Ugh! Ugh!

952
00:47:32,579 --> 00:47:33,872
Ohh!

953
00:47:41,129 --> 00:47:43,715
Oh!

954
00:47:49,387 --> 00:47:51,598
Axe Capital, MaseCap,

955
00:47:51,681 --> 00:47:54,726
I give you, the champion
of the world,

956
00:47:54,809 --> 00:47:56,227
The MAN!

957
00:47:56,311 --> 00:47:57,395
Becky Lynch!

958
00:48:03,318 --> 00:48:07,072
Thank you! Thank you, thank you,
thank you, thank you, thank you.

959
00:48:07,155 --> 00:48:09,324
Thank you. Thank you.

960
00:48:09,407 --> 00:48:11,618
Yeah.

961
00:48:11,701 --> 00:48:13,745
Now, none of youse know this,

962
00:48:13,828 --> 00:48:15,955
because Wendy over here
keeps her mouth shut,

963
00:48:16,039 --> 00:48:17,975
but when I was in my low
and lost period of my life,

964
00:48:17,999 --> 00:48:22,462
before I became The Man,
it was Wendy who convinced me

965
00:48:22,545 --> 00:48:24,881
that finally a woman could be
the biggest star

966
00:48:24,964 --> 00:48:25,423
in professional wrestling.

967
00:48:25,507 --> 00:48:26,674
And she was right.

968
00:48:26,758 --> 00:48:29,761
I am The Man
in that business now.

969
00:48:31,388 --> 00:48:32,263
So when she asked me
to come here

970
00:48:32,347 --> 00:48:34,391
and share a few
professional secrets,

971
00:48:34,474 --> 00:48:36,393
there was no way
I was lettin' her down.

972
00:48:36,476 --> 00:48:39,229
So secret number one,
the real Kayfabe shit:

973
00:48:39,312 --> 00:48:41,231
The greatest thing
that you can do in my game

974
00:48:41,314 --> 00:48:43,983
is to "put someone over,"
to make them look good.

975
00:48:45,568 --> 00:48:47,320
In wrestling,
we don't all like each other.

976
00:48:47,404 --> 00:48:49,114
That part's not for show.

977
00:48:49,197 --> 00:48:52,492
I honestly cannot stand some of
them women that I have to fight.

978
00:48:52,575 --> 00:48:53,827
But at the end of the day,

979
00:48:53,910 --> 00:48:55,954
we're all part of
a bigger family, alright?

980
00:48:56,037 --> 00:48:57,914
And we all 'do the job'
for each other.

981
00:48:57,997 --> 00:49:00,250
Which is what we call it when
we let someone else pin us

982
00:49:00,333 --> 00:49:03,503
because there is nothing more
noble than taking a beatin'

983
00:49:03,586 --> 00:49:05,547
and makin' somebody else
look good

984
00:49:05,630 --> 00:49:08,633
for the good of the whole
goddamned operation.

985
00:49:08,716 --> 00:49:11,010
And, no. No.
Sometimes it doesn't feel good.

986
00:49:11,094 --> 00:49:11,719
We all want to fight.
We all want to win.

987
00:49:11,803 --> 00:49:13,847
And when the time is right,

988
00:49:13,930 --> 00:49:16,641
you shut your mouth
and you do the job.

989
00:49:16,724 --> 00:49:19,144
And then maybe you move
to a different town,

990
00:49:19,227 --> 00:49:21,729
and someone
does the job for you.

991
00:49:26,818 --> 00:49:29,320
Can I just say holy shit!

992
00:49:29,404 --> 00:49:31,197
Holy shit!

993
00:49:37,579 --> 00:49:39,247
You may, Mafee.

994
00:49:39,330 --> 00:49:43,001
Now. Becky,
who could obviously

995
00:49:43,084 --> 00:49:44,377
kick my ass to the ground,

996
00:49:44,461 --> 00:49:46,963
just did the job for me.

997
00:49:47,046 --> 00:49:49,883
To remind us that we're all
in this together,

998
00:49:49,966 --> 00:49:55,513
and what a fucking pisser it is
to work here

999
00:49:55,597 --> 00:49:58,516
where a stunt like this is,
you know, just a Tuesday.

1000
00:49:59,684 --> 00:50:02,770
So: are we ready to

1001
00:50:02,854 --> 00:50:05,648
do the fucking job
for each other or what?

1002
00:50:24,959 --> 00:50:27,629
That was impressive.
A grand gesture.

1003
00:50:27,712 --> 00:50:29,106
I can see how much you care
about this place.

1004
00:50:29,130 --> 00:50:30,632
And it moves me to say:

1005
00:50:30,715 --> 00:50:32,526
I'll do what I can to
get my people to lean in.

1006
00:50:32,550 --> 00:50:33,551
Good.

1007
00:50:40,558 --> 00:50:44,646
If that's how you feel, then
you should probably tell him.

1008
00:50:44,729 --> 00:50:46,064
Tell him what?

1009
00:50:46,147 --> 00:50:47,732
Whatever it is
you're really doing here.

1010
00:50:59,118 --> 00:51:00,245
You think this will fix

1011
00:51:00,328 --> 00:51:02,747
the adjustment problems
of our teams?

1012
00:51:02,830 --> 00:51:03,933
And also fix the problems
between me and you?

1013
00:51:03,957 --> 00:51:06,042
We need to feel
like one company.

1014
00:51:06,125 --> 00:51:07,418
Or none of it will work

1015
00:51:07,502 --> 00:51:09,921
And then I would confide
in you again, right?

1016
00:51:12,549 --> 00:51:14,109
I am not here because
you forced me to be.

1017
00:51:14,133 --> 00:51:15,802
Or because Chuck did.

1018
00:51:15,885 --> 00:51:18,221
I am here as Chuck's operative
because he wants to get you.

1019
00:51:18,304 --> 00:51:21,432
I know.

1020
00:51:21,516 --> 00:51:22,267
I figured there was
a good chance of it anyway.

1021
00:51:22,350 --> 00:51:24,644
How?

1022
00:51:24,727 --> 00:51:25,955
If you were really here
'cause I forced you to be,

1023
00:51:25,979 --> 00:51:27,689
your body language
would be different.

1024
00:51:27,772 --> 00:51:29,524
I have tried to
slump my shoulders.

1025
00:51:29,607 --> 00:51:31,067
But if it were real,

1026
00:51:31,150 --> 00:51:33,278
you'd try to avoid showing me
you were hurting.

1027
00:51:33,361 --> 00:51:34,547
You'd walk with
your shoulders back...

1028
00:51:34,571 --> 00:51:37,699
If you didn't trust me, why did
you want me working for you?

1029
00:51:37,782 --> 00:51:39,367
'Cause I thought
our goals were aligned.

1030
00:51:39,450 --> 00:51:40,201
And I still think they can be.

1031
00:51:40,285 --> 00:51:42,495
Even after what I just told you?

1032
00:51:42,579 --> 00:51:44,706
You need to be here.

1033
00:51:44,789 --> 00:51:47,208
Doing this...
not just for a living,

1034
00:51:47,292 --> 00:51:49,627
not just to keep your name
strong in the business...

1035
00:51:49,711 --> 00:51:52,297
but to feel alive.

1036
00:51:52,380 --> 00:51:54,465
Maybe even to be alive.

1037
00:51:54,549 --> 00:51:56,968
You need that feeling you get

1038
00:51:57,051 --> 00:51:58,970
when you see what
no one else can.

1039
00:51:59,053 --> 00:51:59,470
And bet on that vision.

1040
00:51:59,554 --> 00:52:01,139
And be right.

1041
00:52:01,222 --> 00:52:04,809
'Cause you, Taylor, are
a profit generating organism.

1042
00:52:04,892 --> 00:52:07,312
You're just put together
that way.

1043
00:52:07,395 --> 00:52:08,938
That's what I need.

1044
00:52:09,022 --> 00:52:10,898
And why we are aligned.

1045
00:52:10,982 --> 00:52:13,610
No matter your
conflicted feelings.

1046
00:52:13,693 --> 00:52:15,903
And Rhoades?

1047
00:52:15,987 --> 00:52:16,696
Fight him off, neutralize him.

1048
00:52:16,779 --> 00:52:19,824
And if I can't?
Fuck 'can't.'

1049
00:52:19,907 --> 00:52:22,368
We just agreed on who you are.

1050
00:52:22,452 --> 00:52:23,995
The person who does.

1051
00:52:26,497 --> 00:52:29,167
Okay. I will.

1052
00:52:32,795 --> 00:52:34,756
I see that.

1053
00:52:34,839 --> 00:52:36,007
Good.

1054
00:52:36,090 --> 00:52:39,010
Now, how do you recommend
I deal with Rhoades?

1055
00:52:39,093 --> 00:52:41,804
He is going to continue
to act like a friend.

1056
00:52:41,888 --> 00:52:44,098
Remind him of why actually
being your friend

1057
00:52:44,182 --> 00:52:46,267
is the smartest
course of action.

1058
00:53:08,039 --> 00:53:11,542
Oh, what the fuck...

1059
00:53:15,755 --> 00:53:17,965
You've reached Wendy Rhoades.
Please leave a message.

1060
00:53:18,049 --> 00:53:21,344
Uh. Yeah, Wend, it's me.

1061
00:53:21,427 --> 00:53:24,889
I see we've reached the place
of unilateral action.

1062
00:53:24,972 --> 00:53:27,392
Not gracious, or cool,

1063
00:53:27,475 --> 00:53:30,895
or reflective in any way of
how we've fucking gone about

1064
00:53:35,650 --> 00:53:38,111
just give me a call back
after you get this.

1065
00:53:55,253 --> 00:53:56,337
Everything okay?

1066
00:53:56,421 --> 00:54:00,383
Oh. Just some upheaval on
the home front, as you know.

1067
00:54:00,466 --> 00:54:02,552
Everything'll settle into place.

1068
00:54:02,635 --> 00:54:04,429
What do you got there?

1069
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:07,473
Something meaningful.

1070
00:54:15,481 --> 00:54:19,485
Ahh.

1071
00:54:25,032 --> 00:54:27,452
Ahh.

1072
00:54:27,535 --> 00:54:29,245
'Never give in.

1073
00:54:29,328 --> 00:54:32,623
Never in nothing, great or
small; large or petty.

1074
00:54:32,707 --> 00:54:35,752
Never give in,

1075
00:54:35,835 --> 00:54:37,675
except to convictions of honour
and good sense.

1076
00:54:37,754 --> 00:54:40,006
Never yield to force.

1077
00:54:40,089 --> 00:54:44,093
Never yield to the apparently

1078
00:54:44,177 --> 00:54:46,637
overwhelming might
of the enemy.'

1079
00:54:48,723 --> 00:54:53,895
I went back to my book seller
a few months after I sold it.

1080
00:54:53,978 --> 00:54:55,122
He told me the set
had been bought.

1081
00:54:55,146 --> 00:55:00,318
And I couldn't find any others.

1082
00:55:00,401 --> 00:55:02,445
No. It seems the, uh,

1083
00:55:02,528 --> 00:55:05,823
market on firstedition
Churchills had been cornered.

1084
00:55:05,907 --> 00:55:06,741
That's what I do to markets.

1085
00:55:06,824 --> 00:55:10,119
Ah.

1086
00:55:10,203 --> 00:55:12,830
But now, I am returning these to
you as an act of friendship...

1087
00:55:12,914 --> 00:55:15,374
Because I want you to remember
when we weren't friends,

1088
00:55:15,458 --> 00:55:18,544
how the world was a very hot
and uncomfortable place.

1089
00:55:18,628 --> 00:55:20,004
And to that end,

1090
00:55:20,087 --> 00:55:22,840
I would like you to also
help me keep it cool.

1091
00:55:24,675 --> 00:55:25,968
How shall I do that?

1092
00:55:26,052 --> 00:55:27,612
That crypto mine that
you busted upstate

1093
00:55:27,678 --> 00:55:28,513
Mm.

1094
00:55:28,596 --> 00:55:30,515
I'd appreciate it
if you'd drop the case.

1095
00:55:30,598 --> 00:55:34,018
Well, Bobby,
I very much want to be friends.

1096
00:55:35,770 --> 00:55:38,689
And I was surprised
dismayed really

1097
00:55:38,773 --> 00:55:39,773
when we made the arrests

1098
00:55:39,815 --> 00:55:41,651
and found out you were
in the middle of that.

1099
00:55:41,734 --> 00:55:43,778
Not really in the middle
maybe loosely connected.

1100
00:55:43,861 --> 00:55:46,364
All the same...

1101
00:55:46,447 --> 00:55:48,366
I can't just drop it,
not altogether.

1102
00:55:48,449 --> 00:55:50,159
It's too far along.

1103
00:55:50,243 --> 00:55:52,703
Questions will be raised,
prying eyes will be focused.

1104
00:55:52,787 --> 00:55:55,206
Uh huh.

1105
00:55:55,289 --> 00:55:56,832
Then what can you do for me?

1106
00:56:01,045 --> 00:56:04,549
Best I can do is make it a civil
and not a criminal action.

1107
00:56:04,632 --> 00:56:07,385
Which will be hard to sell
to my team and my office

1108
00:56:07,468 --> 00:56:11,514
and is an act of friendship
that goes beyond the norm.

1109
00:56:11,597 --> 00:56:15,518
It is, in fact, of the kind
you just demonstrated.

1110
00:56:15,601 --> 00:56:19,397
So, it'll cost you
some money in fines,

1111
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:22,441
but as you like to remind the
world, you got plenty of that.

1112
00:56:22,525 --> 00:56:24,860
Yeah. Sure, Chuck.

1113
00:56:24,944 --> 00:56:26,904
That I do.

1114
00:56:47,049 --> 00:56:48,926
It's a triple cross.

1115
00:56:49,010 --> 00:56:50,845
Taylor told Axelrod
why they're at Axe Cap.

1116
00:56:50,928 --> 00:56:52,763
How'd you figure it?

1117
00:56:52,847 --> 00:56:53,764
He came at me,

1118
00:56:53,848 --> 00:56:54,992
to remind me of
the last time I went at him.

1119
00:56:55,016 --> 00:56:56,142
What it cost me.

1120
00:56:56,225 --> 00:56:58,269
What are we gonna do about it?

1121
00:56:58,352 --> 00:57:01,147
He wants to be friends,
so we'll be friends.

1122
00:57:01,230 --> 00:57:03,858
Right up until
the moment we drop him.

1123
00:57:03,941 --> 00:57:06,902
Unless you think
that's too, uh, "Old Chuck."

1124
00:57:06,986 --> 00:57:09,322
No, that's just Chuck.

1125
00:57:09,405 --> 00:57:10,865
As it should be.

1126
00:57:10,948 --> 00:57:13,284
As it ever will be.

1127
00:57:13,367 --> 00:57:15,578
Okay.
Here's what I'm thinking.

1128
00:57:15,661 --> 00:57:17,747
Patti Smith's "Summer Cannibals"

1129
00:57:25,546 --> 00:57:28,841
I was down in Georgia

1130
00:57:28,924 --> 00:57:32,136
Nothing was as real

1131
00:57:32,219 --> 00:57:35,139
As the street beneath my feet

1132
00:57:35,222 --> 00:57:37,725
Descending into air

1133
00:57:44,190 --> 00:57:48,069
The cauldron was abubbling

1134
00:57:48,152 --> 00:57:51,364
The flesh was lean

1135
00:57:51,447 --> 00:57:54,659
And the women moved forward

1136
00:57:54,742 --> 00:57:57,828
Like piranhas in a stream

1137
00:57:57,912 --> 00:58:00,998
They spread themselves before me

1138
00:58:01,082 --> 00:58:03,334
An offering so sweet

1139
00:58:03,417 --> 00:58:07,672
And they beckoned
and they beckoned

1140
00:58:07,755 --> 00:58:11,342
"Come on, darling, eat"

1141
00:58:11,425 --> 00:58:12,677
Eat the summer cannibals

1142
00:58:14,762 --> 00:58:16,347
Eat, eat, eat

1143
00:58:16,430 --> 00:58:20,935
You eat the summer cannibals

1144
00:58:21,018 --> 00:58:23,979
Eat, eat, eat

1145
00:58:30,486 --> 00:58:33,989
They circled around me

1146
00:58:34,073 --> 00:58:37,201
Natives in a ring

1147
00:58:37,284 --> 00:58:40,037
And I saw their souls awithering

1148
00:58:40,121 --> 00:58:42,665
Like snakes in chains

1149
00:58:42,748 --> 00:58:46,168
And they wrapped themselves
around me

1150
00:58:46,252 --> 00:58:50,005
Mmm, what a treat

1151
00:58:50,089 --> 00:58:53,008
And they rattled their tales
hissin'

1152
00:58:53,092 --> 00:58:56,929
"Come on, let's eat"

1153
00:58:57,012 --> 00:59:00,224
Eat the summer cannibals

1154
00:59:00,307 --> 00:59:02,143
Eat, eat
