- SHIV: Uh-huh.

160
00:07:27,621 --> 00:07:30,022
And you've-- you've seen
Gil's numbers, right?

161
00:07:30,091 --> 00:07:32,892
And-- And as of today,
I'm right in at ATN.

162
00:07:32,961 --> 00:07:34,563
You know, belly of the beast.

163
00:07:35,196 --> 00:07:36,132
So...

164
00:07:38,700 --> 00:07:40,132
- Hey.
- Yeah?

165
00:07:40,201 --> 00:07:42,268
You wanna bang? Right now?

166
00:07:42,337 --> 00:07:43,569
Cheeky little breakfast bang.

167
00:07:43,638 --> 00:07:45,071
- Oh... I'm...
- Wanna?

168
00:07:45,140 --> 00:07:48,274
I'm just such in a different
mental place...

169
00:07:48,342 --> 00:07:49,709
- Okay.
- ...than you right now.

170
00:07:49,778 --> 00:07:51,077
- (CHUCKLES)
- No, sure.

171
00:07:51,146 --> 00:07:53,613
I just feel
so incredibly potent.

172
00:07:53,681 --> 00:07:55,281
- Mm.
- You know?

173
00:07:55,349 --> 00:07:56,683
I think it's the new place.

174
00:07:56,752 --> 00:07:58,117
- Yeah.
- You know?

175
00:07:58,186 --> 00:08:00,719
- I feel God-like and horny.
- SHIV: Oof!

176
00:08:00,788 --> 00:08:02,589
Everybody looks, like,
two feet tall to me.

177
00:08:02,658 --> 00:08:04,023
(BOTH LAUGH)

178
00:08:04,092 --> 00:08:06,158
SHIV: Well, you know what?
Maybe--

179
00:08:06,227 --> 00:08:08,227
Maybe we should split
from the thing early

180
00:08:08,295 --> 00:08:10,934
tonight and, you know, we can...

181
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,933
- talk, and...
- TOM: Mm-hmm.

182
00:08:14,002 --> 00:08:15,534
- ...everything.
- TOM: Okay!

183
00:08:15,603 --> 00:08:17,571
Okay! My fave.
Strategy and a fuck.

184
00:08:17,639 --> 00:08:19,299
(CHUCKLES)

185
00:08:19,368 --> 00:08:21,007
- Okay, bye.
- Have a good one.

186
00:08:21,076 --> 00:08:22,069
Bye, honey.

187
00:08:22,138 --> 00:08:24,277
♪ (MUSIC PLAYS) ♪

188
00:08:24,345 --> 00:08:28,514
So cool. You know they have
their own beehive upstairs?

189
00:08:28,582 --> 00:08:30,884
What is that? Is that, like,
the fucking business model?

190
00:08:30,952 --> 00:08:33,420
Conflict porn and hipster honey.

191
00:08:33,488 --> 00:08:34,690
Ugh.

Oh, shh.

The pretend journalists

KENDALL: All right, Rome,
just cool it.

00:08:40,489 --> 00:08:42,528
Let's move nice and slow here.
Yeah?

- Mm-hmm.
- Just keep it small and general.

197
00:08:44,733 --> 00:08:46,231
We don't wanna spook him.

198
00:08:46,300 --> 00:08:47,901
ROMAN: Yeah, okay. You got it.
You are in charge.

199
00:08:47,969 --> 00:08:49,836
I follow your lead, fucker.

What the fuck?

202
00:08:54,140 --> 00:08:56,475
Thanks for making space, man.
I know it was last minute.

203
00:08:56,543 --> 00:08:59,412
LAWRENCE YEE: Ah, dude. Anytime.

204
00:08:59,481 --> 00:09:00,913
Hey, Lawrence.

205
00:09:00,981 --> 00:09:02,948
I heard you were drying out
in a <i>Schloss,</i>

00:09:03,017 --> 00:09:05,051
doing shitty yoga
with <i>hausfrau?</i>

207
00:09:05,119 --> 00:09:06,853
- KENDALL: Right. right.
- (ROMAN LAUGHS)

208
00:09:06,922 --> 00:09:08,153
Nope.

209
00:09:08,222 --> 00:09:11,123
He is back. He is back,
like a pedo on parole.

210
00:09:11,192 --> 00:09:13,126
KENDALL: Yeah, man,
we're just here for a catch-up.

211
00:09:13,194 --> 00:09:15,562
You know? Super casual,
feet on the table,

212
00:09:15,631 --> 00:09:16,563
whatever the fuck.

213
00:09:16,631 --> 00:09:17,931
Just, uh, just help you out.

214
00:09:17,999 --> 00:09:19,433
LAWRENCE: O-- Obviously,
I'm always pleased

215
00:09:19,501 --> 00:09:20,499
to get your insights,

216
00:09:20,567 --> 00:09:22,738
but, like, who am I talking to?

217
00:09:23,405 --> 00:09:24,471
Co...

218
00:09:24,540 --> 00:09:25,539
COOs.

219
00:09:25,607 --> 00:09:26,906
Who's in charge here?

220
00:09:26,975 --> 00:09:29,776
My brother and I have
a joint responsibility.

221
00:09:29,844 --> 00:09:31,410
You know,
we're sharing duties,

222
00:09:31,479 --> 00:09:34,746
but we're on the same page
operationally. Right, Rome?

223
00:09:34,815 --> 00:09:36,616
I don't know what the fuck
he's talking about.

224
00:09:36,685 --> 00:09:38,017
KENDALL: There's just, uh,

225
00:09:38,085 --> 00:09:41,187
a lot of, uh,
crackle in the air right now.

226
00:09:41,256 --> 00:09:43,622
External pressures
with the proxy battle,

227
00:09:43,690 --> 00:09:44,957
- that whole...
- LAWRENCE: Yeah.

228
00:09:45,026 --> 00:09:47,393
So you're defusing the bomb
you planted.

229
00:09:47,462 --> 00:09:48,762
(ROMAN LAUGHS)

230
00:09:48,830 --> 00:09:52,731
Yes, precisely. See, he gets it.
He sees.

231
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,701
We're just here
for a routine health check.

232
00:09:55,770 --> 00:09:56,802
That's all this is.

233
00:09:56,871 --> 00:09:58,337
Where's this coming from?

234
00:09:58,406 --> 00:09:59,939
- It's coming from us.
- ROMAN: It's coming from Dad.

235
00:10:00,008 --> 00:10:01,373
No. What, why are we
dancing around this?

236
00:10:01,442 --> 00:10:03,246
It's coming from Dad.
Dad's worried about you.

237
00:10:04,012 --> 00:10:05,111
Okay.

238
00:10:05,180 --> 00:10:07,012
ROMAN: I mean, come on,
you know how he is.

239
00:10:07,081 --> 00:10:08,848
He doesn't get it. He still has
a plant out in the Philippines

240
00:10:08,917 --> 00:10:10,315
manufacturing Xerox machines.

241
00:10:10,384 --> 00:10:12,184
But he's fucking shrewd.

242
00:10:12,253 --> 00:10:14,387
And, right now...

243
00:10:14,455 --> 00:10:16,783
right now, his giant cyclops eye

244
00:10:16,852 --> 00:10:19,125
is looking in this direction,
and he's feeling like

245
00:10:19,193 --> 00:10:21,728
maybe he bought
a giant pile of bullshit.

246
00:10:21,797 --> 00:10:23,195
So now here I am

247
00:10:23,264 --> 00:10:25,831
to enquire in the politest
terms possible

248
00:10:25,900 --> 00:10:27,867
what the fuck is going on.

249
00:10:27,935 --> 00:10:29,834
Dad thinks maybe you fucked him.

250
00:10:29,903 --> 00:10:32,939
Our numbers were solid
when you bought us,

251
00:10:33,007 --> 00:10:34,373
and they're solid now.

252
00:10:34,442 --> 00:10:35,908
ROMAN: Dude, really,
don't take it personally.

253
00:10:35,977 --> 00:10:37,143
Dad thinks everyone's
fucking him.

254
00:10:37,211 --> 00:10:38,778
KENDALL:
I know you're on the level.

255
00:10:38,847 --> 00:10:40,312
Help me make him see that.

256
00:10:40,381 --> 00:10:41,314
What do you need?

257
00:10:41,382 --> 00:10:43,883
I need metrics, I need KPIs,

258
00:10:43,952 --> 00:10:46,185
and, uh, I need an office.

259
00:10:46,254 --> 00:10:48,688
ROMAN: Me too,
I need an office as well.

260
00:10:48,757 --> 00:10:50,723
Separate from his. Nicer.

261
00:10:50,792 --> 00:10:53,559
It's on, me versus the Peach.

262
00:10:53,628 --> 00:10:54,828
Okay, I'm gonna s--

263
00:10:54,896 --> 00:10:56,861
I'm gonna swing
the old meat mallet.

264
00:10:56,930 --> 00:10:59,293
I'm gonna sit on her
right out of the box.

265
00:10:59,361 --> 00:11:00,666
Okay, so I could be calling

266
00:11:00,734 --> 00:11:02,402
for a little bit
of the old punch-bagging,

267
00:11:02,471 --> 00:11:03,635
okay, buddy?

268
00:11:03,704 --> 00:11:05,938
- GREG: Uh-huh.
- Ready to play the bag?

269
00:11:06,007 --> 00:11:08,177
- Y-- Yeah, yeah. Give it to me.
- Okay.

270
00:11:09,611 --> 00:11:10,779
What?

271
00:11:11,847 --> 00:11:13,116
What is it, Greg?

272
00:11:14,281 --> 00:11:16,950
Being in at ATN, you know,
it's kinda like

273
00:11:17,018 --> 00:11:19,218
the one thing
I didn't wanna do.

274
00:11:19,287 --> 00:11:20,419
Oh, okay. So, what--

275
00:11:20,488 --> 00:11:22,154
Should I have left you
at Parks to sink?

276
00:11:22,223 --> 00:11:23,222
I mean, it's...

277
00:11:23,291 --> 00:11:24,958
it's ATN, man.
It's the fuckin' news.

278
00:11:25,026 --> 00:11:26,859
- I know.
- It's Logan's G-spot.

279
00:11:26,928 --> 00:11:28,594
I can finger-bang him
all night long.

280
00:11:28,663 --> 00:11:30,763
I'm a direct direct report.
What?

281
00:11:30,832 --> 00:11:32,201
Sure, just...

282
00:11:34,068 --> 00:11:35,104
ATN?

283
00:11:35,737 --> 00:11:38,204
It's-- It's like...

284
00:11:38,273 --> 00:11:41,073
- kind of against my principles.
- Your principles?

285
00:11:41,142 --> 00:11:43,542
Greg, don't be an asshole.
You don't have principles.

286
00:11:43,611 --> 00:11:46,345
Dude, ATN is a very toxic
element in the culture.

287
00:11:46,413 --> 00:11:49,916
Oh, seriously? Okay, name me
one principle that you have.

288
00:11:49,985 --> 00:11:52,017
I don't know, like,
I'm against racism.

289
00:11:52,086 --> 00:11:55,655
Bullshit. I'm against racism.
Everybody's against racism.

290
00:11:55,723 --> 00:11:56,823
What else?

291
00:11:56,892 --> 00:11:58,757
- Like, don't lie.
- Fuck off.

292
00:11:58,825 --> 00:12:00,159
- Like, if you're the news, you--
- Fuck off!

293
00:12:00,227 --> 00:12:01,960
- That's your principle?
- Yeah, dude.

294
00:12:02,029 --> 00:12:05,064
Greg, this is not fucking
Charles Dickens world, okay?

295
00:12:05,133 --> 00:12:07,834
You don't go around
talking about principles.

296
00:12:07,903 --> 00:12:09,469
We're all trying to do
the right thing,

297
00:12:09,538 --> 00:12:10,537
of course we are.

298
00:12:10,606 --> 00:12:12,375
But come on, man!

299
00:12:13,775 --> 00:12:15,244
Man the fuck up!

300
00:12:16,310 --> 00:12:18,845
(MUTTERING)
Okay, I am manned, man.

301
00:12:18,914 --> 00:12:20,345
Here comes Cyd.

302
00:12:20,414 --> 00:12:22,148
Hey, Cyd! The Peach!

303
00:12:22,217 --> 00:12:23,450
The legend!

304
00:12:23,518 --> 00:12:24,850
Oh, Tom!

305
00:12:24,919 --> 00:12:25,885
- Tom!
- Hey!

306
00:12:25,954 --> 00:12:27,453
It's great to have you aboard.

307
00:12:27,521 --> 00:12:28,888
I know that this is gonna be

308
00:12:28,957 --> 00:12:31,324
a really productive
collaboration.

309
00:12:31,393 --> 00:12:32,692
I just hope

310
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,228
that there's no... weirdness

311
00:12:35,296 --> 00:12:37,462
with our fuzzy boundaries,
right?

312
00:12:37,531 --> 00:12:39,999
Are you kidding?
If you-- If you wanna go fast,

313
00:12:40,068 --> 00:12:43,369
go alone. If you wanna go far,
go together.

314
00:12:43,437 --> 00:12:45,104
- Right?
- Exactly.

315
00:12:45,173 --> 00:12:46,071
Yeah.

316
00:12:46,140 --> 00:12:47,540
- Come meet the team.
- Amazing!

317
00:12:47,609 --> 00:12:48,841
You wanna lead in there?

318
00:12:48,910 --> 00:12:50,810
Oh, fuck no.

319
00:12:50,879 --> 00:12:52,744
- You lead, Tommy.
- Okay.

320
00:12:52,813 --> 00:12:54,548
You mind if I big-ball
the first one?

321
00:12:54,616 --> 00:12:56,810
Do it! Your funeral, buddy.

322
00:12:56,878 --> 00:12:58,450
- (APPLAUSE)
- SPEAKER: <i>Thank you, thank you.</i>

323
00:12:58,519 --> 00:13:01,154
So did he actually
even see my draft?

324
00:13:01,222 --> 00:13:02,488
Uh... no.

325
00:13:02,557 --> 00:13:04,424
In the end, I just thought
the draft Kelly and I did

326
00:13:04,493 --> 00:13:06,660
had more, uh, goodness.

327
00:13:06,728 --> 00:13:07,894
As in...?

328
00:13:07,963 --> 00:13:09,262
As in it had the quality
of being good

329
00:13:09,330 --> 00:13:10,895
rather than the attributes
of being shitty.

330
00:13:10,964 --> 00:13:13,833
NATE: Um, just also re Kelly,
little sidebar.

331
00:13:13,902 --> 00:13:15,535
Can you not tell people
about us?

332
00:13:15,604 --> 00:13:17,036
Oh, but there is no us.

333
00:13:17,105 --> 00:13:18,805
Right. but there was an us,
and the problem is,

334
00:13:18,874 --> 00:13:20,272
my wife doesn't know about it.

335
00:13:20,341 --> 00:13:22,241
Oh, but my husband
absolutely does know about it,

336
00:13:22,309 --> 00:13:24,711
so I guess that's, what,
it's your problem?

337
00:13:24,780 --> 00:13:25,979
We had the affair.

338
00:13:26,047 --> 00:13:27,346
We didn't have the conversation

339
00:13:27,414 --> 00:13:29,081
about telling people
we had the affair.

340
00:13:29,150 --> 00:13:30,850
I'm sorry, Nate,
did you want a conference call

341
00:13:30,918 --> 00:13:33,189
to discuss how to tell your wife
we fucked?

342
00:13:35,090 --> 00:13:36,622
- (APPLAUSE)
- GIL EAVIS: Thank you, everyone.

343
00:13:36,691 --> 00:13:38,858
Great event. Great event.

344
00:13:38,927 --> 00:13:41,528
Thank you, everyone, so much.

345
00:13:41,597 --> 00:13:42,894
And the polling!

346
00:13:42,963 --> 00:13:45,431
My God! I mean,
nobody's getting carried away,

347
00:13:45,500 --> 00:13:47,166
just one set of numbers,

348
00:13:47,235 --> 00:13:50,269
one pretty big set of numbers.
(CHUCKLES) Right?

349
00:13:50,338 --> 00:13:54,841
Right, so thank you.
And testament to your faith.

350
00:13:54,910 --> 00:13:56,175
Thank you. Please,

351
00:13:56,243 --> 00:13:58,410
indulge yourselves in some, uh,

352
00:13:58,479 --> 00:14:00,847
gluten and melted cheese.
Why not?

353
00:14:00,916 --> 00:14:02,509
- (LAUGHTER)
- Thank you, thank you.

354
00:14:02,578 --> 00:14:04,083
- (APPLAUSE)
- GIL: Mm.

355
00:14:04,152 --> 00:14:05,845
Hey, uh, how was the call?

356
00:14:05,914 --> 00:14:08,620
Great. They're eating
out of my ass crack.

357
00:14:08,689 --> 00:14:11,891
Offered me use of
the fucking jet on the weekend.

358
00:14:11,959 --> 00:14:13,659
Uh, yeah, I mean,
the legals are wonky

359
00:14:13,727 --> 00:14:16,532
and the optics are shitty, but
(CHUCKLES) go ahead.

360
00:14:18,300 --> 00:14:19,398
Look.

361
00:14:19,467 --> 00:14:21,801
You don't look a gift Boeing
in the teeth.

362
00:14:21,870 --> 00:14:23,335
Right? Right?

363
00:14:23,404 --> 00:14:25,141
- No.
- I'll be so much fresher.

364
00:14:26,473 --> 00:14:28,774
Excuse us for a second.
I just wanna...

365
00:14:28,843 --> 00:14:30,309
Ma'am, listen.

366
00:14:30,377 --> 00:14:32,244
Long road to travel
and all of that,

367
00:14:32,313 --> 00:14:35,114
but the compass points
to Pennsylvania Avenue.

368
00:14:35,183 --> 00:14:37,320
I have to start thinking
about appointments.

369
00:14:39,053 --> 00:14:40,884
I'm thinking about
Chief of Staff.

370
00:14:41,723 --> 00:14:44,256
Uh-- Oh, wow.

371
00:14:44,325 --> 00:14:45,719
- Yeah.
- (CHUCKLES)

372
00:14:45,787 --> 00:14:49,061
I mean,
can you imagine the look of fear

373
00:14:49,130 --> 00:14:51,698
in their eyes when they
see you coming at them?

374
00:14:51,766 --> 00:14:54,033
Those corpulent old white fucks.

375
00:14:54,102 --> 00:14:55,601
- (CHUCKLES)
- Huh?

376
00:14:55,670 --> 00:14:57,306
How's that for a carrot?

377
00:14:57,705 --> 00:14:58,942
Hm?

378
00:15:00,374 --> 00:15:02,675
So that's where
we shape the debate.

379
00:15:02,744 --> 00:15:05,144
Ooh, cool shit.

380
00:15:05,212 --> 00:15:07,747
And I love the way the debate
keeps on getting shaped

381
00:15:07,815 --> 00:15:09,816
like a burning cross.
(LAUGHS)

382
00:15:09,884 --> 00:15:11,684
You don't share our news values.

383
00:15:11,753 --> 00:15:13,086
Oh, I'm kidding.

384
00:15:13,154 --> 00:15:14,853
I'm kidding. I get it.
I'm from the Midwest.

385
00:15:14,922 --> 00:15:17,556
You know, my mom's friend, Deb,
weighs, like, 300 pounds,

386
00:15:17,624 --> 00:15:19,759
and she's pissed as fuck
about practically everything,

387
00:15:19,828 --> 00:15:21,761
so, you know, trust me,

388
00:15:21,830 --> 00:15:23,329
I'm down. I get it.

389
00:15:23,397 --> 00:15:26,398
Besides, what Logan wants,
Logan gets, right?

390
00:15:26,467 --> 00:15:29,102
Logan doesn't set
our news agenda.

391
00:15:29,170 --> 00:15:31,905
Oh. (LAUGHS)
No, of course he doesn't.

392
00:15:31,973 --> 00:15:33,472
I know, it's so weird, huh?

393
00:15:33,540 --> 00:15:35,507
He happens to own
a news company

394
00:15:35,576 --> 00:15:37,943
and they say exactly what
he thinks.

395
00:15:38,012 --> 00:15:39,745
If Logan had to tell me

396
00:15:39,814 --> 00:15:41,413
or any of my news editors

397
00:15:41,482 --> 00:15:43,682
what to run
or what the angle was,

398
00:15:43,751 --> 00:15:46,719
we would be fucked.
That is not how it works.

399
00:15:46,788 --> 00:15:48,153
This isn't mind control.

400
00:15:48,222 --> 00:15:50,723
We hire people
who want to work here.

401
00:15:50,792 --> 00:15:52,124
and we serve a demographic

402
00:15:52,193 --> 00:15:55,194
of highly, highly intelligent
viewers,

403
00:15:55,263 --> 00:15:57,296
who are really tired

404
00:15:57,365 --> 00:15:59,365
of being patronized elsewhere

405
00:15:59,433 --> 00:16:02,201
by latte-sipping douchebags

406
00:16:02,270 --> 00:16:04,140
with hundred-dollar haircuts.

407
00:16:05,974 --> 00:16:07,974
You've got the cool job title,

408
00:16:08,042 --> 00:16:09,441
you've got freedom of movement.

409
00:16:09,510 --> 00:16:12,512
Why don't you take a look
somewhere more comfy?

410
00:16:12,581 --> 00:16:13,579
Entertainment?

411
00:16:13,648 --> 00:16:15,147
'Cause this is where
the action is.

412
00:16:15,216 --> 00:16:17,249
This is the profit center.

413
00:16:17,318 --> 00:16:21,086
The median age of our audience
is 68.

414
00:16:21,155 --> 00:16:24,991
The ads are all adult diapers
and shit pills.

415
00:16:25,059 --> 00:16:26,860
Our lead in the news demo
has halved.

416
00:16:26,928 --> 00:16:28,427
You know, maybe I can

417
00:16:28,495 --> 00:16:30,897
lend a hand to take a look
at some of that.

418
00:16:30,965 --> 00:16:32,331
You know,

419
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,167
he sends me one of you
every four years.

420
00:16:35,236 --> 00:16:37,669
- That train is never late.
- Interesting.

421
00:16:37,738 --> 00:16:40,372
And tell me,
these others that he sends,

422
00:16:40,441 --> 00:16:42,378
were they his son-in-law too?

423
00:16:43,044 --> 00:16:45,111
I'm curious.

424
00:16:45,179 --> 00:16:48,609
Efficiencies, Cyd!
I'm here to trim the flab.

425
00:16:48,678 --> 00:16:50,511
Have you told Logan this?

426
00:16:50,580 --> 00:16:52,518
I spy savings, Cyd.

427
00:16:52,587 --> 00:16:54,220
Oh, good, Tom.

428
00:16:54,289 --> 00:16:55,554
That's very good.

429
00:16:55,623 --> 00:16:58,494
Because I run
a pretty tight ship.

430
00:16:59,060 --> 00:17:00,196
So...

431
00:17:01,096 --> 00:17:02,361
good luck to you.

432
00:17:02,430 --> 00:17:05,631
I'm sure you've got him
very, very excited.

433
00:17:05,700 --> 00:17:07,470
I hope you can deliver.

434
00:17:10,672 --> 00:17:11,904
Well... (CLEARS THROAT)

435
00:17:11,973 --> 00:17:13,501
Thank you very much.

436
00:17:13,570 --> 00:17:15,341
And, uh, fuck you.

437
00:17:15,410 --> 00:17:17,443
And, uh,
I'll catch up with you later.

438
00:17:17,511 --> 00:17:20,616
Not on your dying day, baby.

439
00:17:22,549 --> 00:17:25,552
Greg, I need you
on the ground.

440
00:17:25,621 --> 00:17:26,685
- Oh.
- Okay?

441
00:17:26,754 --> 00:17:28,487
I need you to be
my representative on earth.

442
00:17:28,556 --> 00:17:30,656
I want you to-- I want you to
go on a mission for me

443
00:17:30,725 --> 00:17:32,091
and body-shame ATN,

444
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,093
find the fat and point it out.

445
00:17:34,162 --> 00:17:35,461
Yeah, like, how?

446
00:17:35,529 --> 00:17:37,028
Like, find the excess, okay?

447
00:17:37,097 --> 00:17:40,232
Find the extraneous Danish,
the surfeit of stationary,

448
00:17:40,301 --> 00:17:43,168
the... the lazy cleaner,
the mail guy who walks slow.

449
00:17:43,237 --> 00:17:45,237
Okay? Snuffle out waste,
pig man.

450
00:17:45,306 --> 00:17:47,206
Okay, I'll do the penthouse,
you do the basement.

451
00:17:47,274 --> 00:17:49,178
- All right?
- Yeah, yeah, you got it.

452
00:17:50,211 --> 00:17:51,847
Wait, uh, which are these?

453
00:17:53,380 --> 00:17:55,815
You know what? I'm not sure.

454
00:17:55,884 --> 00:17:57,120
Let me go check.

455
00:17:59,654 --> 00:18:02,158
Keep it coming.
Fuckin' drown him in paper.

456
00:18:07,896 --> 00:18:08,961
Good night, Kendall.

457
00:18:09,030 --> 00:18:10,266
Night, dude.

458
00:18:14,002 --> 00:18:15,100
What's he doing?

459
00:18:15,169 --> 00:18:16,572
ADVISOR: I dunno. Reading?

460
00:18:18,740 --> 00:18:20,206
Thanks, useless.

461
00:18:20,274 --> 00:18:22,106
Drink your smoothie and shut up.

462
00:18:26,647 --> 00:18:28,484
Actually drinking
the smoothie...

463
00:18:38,927 --> 00:18:40,359
I can give you 52 seconds.

464
00:18:40,427 --> 00:18:42,061
ROMAN: <i>Well,</i>
<i>I'm in at Vaulter.</i>

465
00:18:42,129 --> 00:18:43,362
Yeah, so?

466
00:18:43,430 --> 00:18:45,297
Yeah, so,
let's fucking game this out.

467
00:18:45,366 --> 00:18:47,400
Roman, we are in a proxy war.

468
00:18:47,468 --> 00:18:48,901
The plane has just
been hijacked,

469
00:18:48,970 --> 00:18:50,703
all the engines have fallen
into the sea,

470
00:18:50,771 --> 00:18:52,337
and the pilot's hair
is on fire.

471
00:18:52,406 --> 00:18:54,040
Gerri, come on,
I need something.

472
00:18:54,108 --> 00:18:55,274
Kendall's doing shit.

473
00:18:55,343 --> 00:18:57,110
Okay, how about this:
you do shit.

474
00:18:57,178 --> 00:18:58,310
<i>What have you got?</i>

475
00:18:58,379 --> 00:19:00,212
One idea: pivot to video?

476
00:19:00,281 --> 00:19:01,613
Yeah, they tried that already.

I want you in the room.

talk.

Connor's moved into a hotel

Six months with Gerri,
six months with Karl.

I'll step aside.

Wow, Dad,
that's a lot of months.

539
00:21:43,510 --> 00:21:45,577
It's an appropriate
amount of months.

540
00:21:45,646 --> 00:21:47,947
Also,
management training program?

and I'm going through
a management training program?

You're a young woman
with no experience.

what does?

come running to you.

- I love you. Goodnight.

581
00:23:03,090 --> 00:23:04,027
All right.

582
00:23:04,693 --> 00:23:06,162
I haven't got all day.

583
00:23:11,265 --> 00:23:12,598
GERRI: Agenda is Vaulter.

584
00:23:12,666 --> 00:23:14,067
We need a way forward
on the Vaulter problem

in two days' time.

or...?

Ken?

588
00:23:21,543 --> 00:23:22,808
Yeah, I'll take it.

589
00:23:22,877 --> 00:23:25,912
Um, so, I've spent
the last 36 hours

590
00:23:25,981 --> 00:23:28,514
on a deep dive into the drivers
of the business.

591
00:23:28,583 --> 00:23:30,444
Headline is, it's a body pit.

592
00:23:30,512 --> 00:23:32,717
Uh, they have mass of data
with no analytics.

593
00:23:32,786 --> 00:23:34,854
There's no way of telling
what's a hand and what's a foot.

594
00:23:34,922 --> 00:23:37,189
But it's still
a killer business.

595
00:23:37,258 --> 00:23:38,824
The platform, the brands.

596
00:23:38,893 --> 00:23:41,727
Uh, ethos and culture
are leading edge.

597
00:23:41,796 --> 00:23:44,864
And, um, in my view,
it's fixable.

598
00:23:44,933 --> 00:23:46,465
It's funny how these fuck-ups

599
00:23:46,534 --> 00:23:48,467
always make the bottom line
look fatter.

600
00:23:48,536 --> 00:23:50,670
All they need
is adults in the room.

601
00:23:50,738 --> 00:23:53,072
Accounting team, analytics team,

602
00:23:53,141 --> 00:23:54,606
and, uh, investment.

603
00:23:54,675 --> 00:23:56,942
We burn 50 million
for a few years,

604
00:23:57,011 --> 00:24:00,146
we... make it the best thing
in the world.

605
00:24:00,215 --> 00:24:02,081
Oh, is that all?

606
00:24:02,150 --> 00:24:04,954
Well, you always say
"Gotta burn to turn."

607
00:24:05,887 --> 00:24:07,386
Romulus, what's your read?

608
00:24:07,454 --> 00:24:08,820
You know, it's interesting, Dad,

609
00:24:08,889 --> 00:24:11,055
because I hear
everything that he's saying,

610
00:24:11,124 --> 00:24:13,954
and it actually-- It almost
sounds like a good pitch.

611
00:24:14,023 --> 00:24:16,195
But... I call bullshit.

612
00:24:16,264 --> 00:24:18,264
I spent some time down there,
and I'm just not seeing it.

613
00:24:18,333 --> 00:24:20,232
Now, I don't know
exactly what they're doing,

614
00:24:20,301 --> 00:24:21,500
but they're fakes.

615
00:24:21,569 --> 00:24:23,769
Fucking beehives, almond milk,
and...

616
00:24:23,837 --> 00:24:26,339
"Take another week
on that report, Matilda."

617
00:24:26,408 --> 00:24:28,040
It smells wrong,

618
00:24:28,109 --> 00:24:29,545
and they're hiding shit.

619
00:24:30,178 --> 00:24:31,338
Speaking of hiding shit,

620
00:24:31,407 --> 00:24:32,779
I took a couple
of their staffers out,

621
00:24:32,847 --> 00:24:34,481
I got them shitfaced,

622
00:24:34,550 --> 00:24:36,182
and apparently,

623
00:24:36,250 --> 00:24:37,650
they're looking to unionize,

624
00:24:37,719 --> 00:24:39,022
and fucking soon.

625
00:24:40,254 --> 00:24:41,587
Oh, yeah?

626
00:24:41,656 --> 00:24:43,423
ROMAN: Pay transparency,

627
00:24:43,492 --> 00:24:44,757
bargaining rights.

628
00:24:44,826 --> 00:24:48,060
Just nasty, tangly shit.

629
00:24:48,129 --> 00:24:49,663
And it's not a body pit,

630
00:24:49,731 --> 00:24:51,196
whatever the fuck a body pit is.

631
00:24:51,265 --> 00:24:52,998
It's a fucking muesli pit,

632
00:24:53,067 --> 00:24:55,704
and doesn't fit with our core,
you know...

633
00:24:56,204 --> 00:24:57,636
values.

634
00:24:57,705 --> 00:24:59,672
So now I'm thinking
we just shutter the fucker.

635
00:24:59,741 --> 00:25:01,673
Close it? That's chunky.

636

Come-- I mean-- He doesn't know
what he's talking about.

637
00:25:04,513 --> 00:25:06,010
That's just insane.

30 or 50?

for me. What'd he--

00:37:43,038 --> 00:37:44,769
That's why I personally think

959
00:37:44,838 --> 00:37:47,940
it would be a mistake
for you to unionize.

(STAFF MUTTERING)

961
00:37:49,277 --> 00:37:50,376
Just-- Just hear me out.

962
00:37:50,444 --> 00:37:51,810
Okay, we will get you

963
00:37:51,879 --> 00:37:54,346
a really punchy independent
arbitration panel,

964
00:37:54,415 --> 00:37:55,814
we'll get you a pay bump.

965
00:37:55,883 --> 00:37:57,716
I know a lot of you
are flirting with the guild,

966
00:37:57,784 --> 00:37:59,885
and I'm just asking you
to consider

967
00:37:59,954 --> 00:38:01,320
putting that on ice.

968
00:38:01,388 --> 00:38:03,726
And let's try and
figure this out inside.

969
00:38:04,425 --> 00:38:05,924
We keep it in the...

970
00:38:05,993 --> 00:38:09,561
fuckin' super cheesy,
but in the Waystar family.

971
00:38:09,630 --> 00:38:13,567
'Cause we do not want
an adversarial situation here.

972
00:38:13,635 --> 00:38:16,201
Okay, we want communication,

00:38:16,270 --> 00:38:18,037
we want engagement.

974
00:38:18,106 --> 00:38:19,505
So let's all pull together

975
00:38:19,574 --> 00:38:20,873
and go back to your desks

976
00:38:20,942 --> 00:38:24,243
and generate me five, ten,
100 ideas

977
00:38:24,312 --> 00:38:25,915
and hit me and my man here up.

978
00:38:26,314 --> 00:38:27,450
Okay?

979
00:38:28,783 --> 00:38:29,616
Thank you.

980
00:38:29,684 --> 00:38:31,884
Yeah, I don't know, Stanley.

981
00:38:31,953 --> 00:38:33,886
I-- I just don't know
if I could ever

982
00:38:33,955 --> 00:38:36,055
practically make use
of this area.

983
00:38:36,124 --> 00:38:39,225
That's just a mezzanine.
You know, it's just a bonus.

984
00:38:39,294 --> 00:38:42,798
you have a-- a living room
with under-stair storage.

the thing I need storage for
most urgently of all, Stanley,

00:39:04,018 --> 00:39:05,021
Totally.

Yep, on my way.

1001
00:39:29,310 --> 00:39:30,947
- Thank you.
- Yeah.

1002
00:39:33,147 --> 00:39:34,150
So, what do you think?

1003
00:39:35,416 --> 00:39:37,612
Uh, of this? I think...

1004
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:38,885
it's...

1005
00:39:38,953 --> 00:39:42,789
huge. It's, um,
it's a very large space.

1006
00:39:42,857 --> 00:39:44,852
What's the--
what's the footage?

1007
00:39:44,921 --> 00:39:46,491
Uh, I don't know.

1008
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:48,588
Developers overestimated
demand,

1009
00:39:48,657 --> 00:39:51,964
so I bought all five units
and my guy's gonna flip 'em.

1010
00:39:52,033 --> 00:39:53,499
Yeah, 'cause i-- it's...

1011
00:39:53,568 --> 00:39:55,501
an abundance of footage.

1012
00:39:55,570 --> 00:39:57,907
An embarrassment of--
of footage.

1013
00:39:58,407 --> 00:39:59,767
Yeah.

1014
00:39:59,836 --> 00:40:01,007
It's yours.

1015
00:40:01,076 --> 00:40:02,809
I-- I mean,
until the market starts to move,

1016

- Until it starts to move.

No, I'm serious.

Yeah, you live here now, Greg.

Uh, cool. Yeah.

psychological pain, so...

1023
00:40:17,691 --> 00:40:20,325
Yeah. Sweet, I live here!
Nice.

1024

I'm totally serious.

1025
00:40:21,829 --> 00:40:24,063
Yeah, I know.
I needed a place to live, so...

1026

Now, uh, now I got it!

downstairs.

I'm not fuckin' around.

nervous about tonight.

Nervous, come the fuck on.

Enjoy our beautiful room.

Could spend your whole life
here. That's how I figure it.

Well, we could send out
for some saline,

we could stand around and watch
you do a nasal wash.

about keeping Vaulter open.

Uh, hell no, Dad doesn't know.

1083

He's a shenaniganizing
piece of shit.

But the thing I keep
turning over in my mind is...

1085
00:42:29,323 --> 00:42:30,924
do I tell Dad?

1086
00:42:30,992 --> 00:42:33,192
Because if I drop the shoe
on Ken now,

1087
00:42:33,260 --> 00:42:34,427
he's crushed forever.

1088

Uh... (EXHALES)

1089
00:42:36,558 --> 00:42:40,527
If Kendall's going rogue,
then... let him.

1090
00:42:40,596 --> 00:42:42,201
Sooner or later,
it's gonna blow up in his face.

1091
00:42:42,269 --> 00:42:44,303
I love it when it blows up
in people's faces.

1092
00:42:44,372 --> 00:42:45,304
- You do.
- I do.

1093

It's my fuckin' favorite.

00:42:48,409 --> 00:42:50,109
I like how this is working.

1096
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:52,812
Yeah. Sure.

1097
00:42:52,881 --> 00:42:54,113
- No, me too.
- Yeah.

1098
00:42:54,181 --> 00:42:55,579
'Cause, you know,
there's an opening.

1099
00:42:56,650 --> 00:42:58,585
Yeah, see,
no one sees me coming.

1100
00:42:58,653 --> 00:42:59,953
But I am right on the shoulder.

1101
00:43:00,021 --> 00:43:02,321
If Dad announces tomorrow,
he announces me.

1102
00:43:02,389 --> 00:43:03,989
Has to, there's no other option.

1103
00:43:04,057 --> 00:43:06,226
I mean, it's fucking insane,
but I am the best he's got.

1104
00:43:06,295 --> 00:43:07,326
Yeah.

1105

Unless... There is one other.

about Tom?

(SHIV LAUGHING) Tom?

1109
00:43:16,938 --> 00:43:19,639
No, you don't need
to be worried about Tom.

1110
00:43:19,708 --> 00:43:20,707
Okay.

1111
00:43:20,775 --> 00:43:22,011
All right.

1112
00:43:24,580 --> 00:43:26,015
How's news, Tom?

1113
00:43:27,082 --> 00:43:28,614
Challenging.

1114
00:43:28,683 --> 00:43:30,719
Tough row to hoe, but,
you know...

1115
00:43:31,418 --> 00:43:32,852
think I see a way out.

if we can make a space.

1283
00:51:12,379 --> 00:51:14,013

1284
00:51:14,082 --> 00:51:15,647
But no paps.

1295

- All right.

Sorry?

Some Purell, for your hand.

How long's it been
since you touched a prole?

1301
00:51:52,954 --> 00:51:54,290
No thank you, Shiv.

1302

Oh, come on. I'm-- I'm kidding.

The joke being what, exactly?

1304
00:51:57,625 --> 00:51:59,191
That I wanna sanitize my hand

1305
00:51:59,260 --> 00:52:00,826
after I meet with a guy
in the street?

1306
00:52:00,895 --> 00:52:02,061
Thank you. No. I'm good.

1307
00:52:02,130 --> 00:52:04,096
Yeah, it's a pretty shitty joke,
Shiv.

1308
00:52:04,165 --> 00:52:05,397
GIL: I'm just saying

1309
00:52:05,466 --> 00:52:06,665
that I think that maybe
we need to be

1310
00:52:06,733 --> 00:52:10,002
more respectful
of the working folk.

GIL: I don't want us
to fall into that trap.

1314
00:52:14,943 --> 00:52:16,608
No, I-- I'm sorry, Shiv,

1315
00:52:16,677 --> 00:52:18,477
but I just think that maybe
you like in a kind of a bubble

1316
00:52:18,546 --> 00:52:20,780
and this kind of joke
is okay around your family

1317
00:52:20,849 --> 00:52:21,815
and friends.

1318
00:52:21,883 --> 00:52:22,882
Don't fucking give me that.

1319
00:52:22,950 --> 00:52:24,583
Excuse me?

1320
00:52:24,652 --> 00:52:26,685
Don't pull a guilt trip on me
'cause you're selling your soul.

1321
00:52:26,754 --> 00:52:28,454
I'm sorry,
do we have a problem here?

1322
00:52:28,523 --> 00:52:31,890
Jesus, Shiv, you need a banana
and a nap?

1323
00:52:31,958 --> 00:52:34,697
I think maybe we continue
this conversation in private.

1324
00:52:35,196 --> 00:52:36,228
SHIV: Why?

1325
00:52:36,297 --> 00:52:37,696
You don't want him to know

1326
00:52:37,764 --> 00:52:39,298
you've still got my dad's cock
in your mouth?

1327
00:52:39,367 --> 00:52:41,734
I was discussing an arrangement
you recommended.

1328
00:52:41,802 --> 00:52:43,969
Oh, yeah, you did.
Didn't you just, y--

1329
00:52:44,038 --> 00:52:45,070
Certainly discussed it.

GIL: I don't understand.

1331
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:48,640
You're riding me over a deal
you told me to take.

00:52:48,709 --> 00:52:50,209
Took it pretty quick though,
didn't you?

1333

Rolled over really fucking fast.

reassess.

operate from the background?

I think you're right.

more comprehensively.

that your...

1345

connections to Tom, ATN, are...

1346
00:53:22,110 --> 00:53:23,875
a distraction.

from the lease

00:53:55,810 --> 00:53:57,544

and five interns

1357

a ton of ideas
