Previously on Billions...

You heard anything
about a new casino

coming to upstate New York?

Yeah. I heard whispers.

Sandicot's downtown is
ripe for redevelopment.

The whole county's on
the edge of default.

You get to buy it cheap,
pennies on the dollar.

Wendy was at Krakow
Capital earlier today.

I need you back at Axe Capital.

Well, that's not gonna happen.

I'm here to ask a favor.

Rhoades reached out to me.

I'll be careful.

We only get one shot at this.

Express concerns about
the bid rigging.

Make it clear that you
know it's going on.

Arendt is putting
us all in danger.

He's gonna send
us all to prison.

Mike's putting the band
back together again,

just like I told him to.

Lawrence Boyd,
you're under arrest.

I thought you understood
the goddamn game.

Oh, I believe I do.

We find everybody that he fucked
and we buy up their claims.

It'll be tantamount to
a class-action suit.

Oh!

You've been served.

With a lawsuit?

Hundred and
twenty-seven of them.

I'm not sure swift justice
is what I'm after,

but I'm glad to be outside.

If I didn't have the five
million for the bail,

I would've had to
stay the night.

You'd have been fine.

No, I wouldn't have.

Get us the fuck out of here.

Rhoades is gonna flip
one of your guys.

When this is over, you'll
be able to stand tall

knowing that you did the
right thing by cooperating.

He has. I got word.

Where do I sign?

What do I do?

Flip him back. How?

I introduced you to a man
who can get that done.

Hall stopped returning my calls.

You wouldn't let him
do what he wanted.

Well, I fucking will now.
Anything he says.

You goddamned better,

because I need you to gut
this motherfucker Rhoades

for both of us.

I will.

I'll get out here.

When you get back to your
country house tonight,

go out back and take a sauna.

Get focused.

That's an order.

You know, I usually get a
full-on Woodrow Wilson going

when I'm billing a client for
hundreds of lawyer hours a week.

But, uh, every hour
I spend with you,

I'm aware little by little,
you're getting wiped out,

and that's even though
I'm underbilling you.

And then I sign the slips
for all the associates

putting in time on your cases,

and I wind up feeling
a little sick.

Just keep doing
what you're doing.

I'll figure it out.

How about the house? It has
to have occurred to you.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, it would solve
a lot of problems.

Financially.

Are you worried Wendy
wouldn't want to sell?

No.

I'm worried she wouldn't care.

You're raising your
children here.

Trust me, it matters just as
much to her as it does to you.

That doesn't mean
she wouldn't see

the wisdom of putting
it on the market.

Right now, things between
us are so fragile,

I'm afraid to pull
even a single thread.

Plus, if I floated
selling the house,

I'd have to tell her why,

and I think it's
best that she...

doesn't know the full
extent of things.

How's couples therapy going?

As excruciating
as I remember it?

Actually, I find that
the best moments

often closely follow
the worst ones.

You know?

Every now and then,
for whatever reason,

the heaviness just lifts,

and, uh...

then we're just us again.

I don't remember those
moments lasting very long.

Like lightning.

Y-Y-You're fighting
for a lot right now,

your job, your marriage.

Maybe consider the concept that
everything has a life span

and it's not the worst thing to
let certain things change...

or die off... when it's time.

Your accounts are
frozen, of course,

so go to your contingency funds.

You'll need to access
2.5 million dollars

It's the first installment

to your former associate

so that he will
cease cooperating.

You need to form a

I suggest on the Isle of Man...

in order to make
payments to his wife

in the sum of $2.5 million
dollars every quarter...

I don't want to
know the specifics.

You need to carry the
weight of it now.

If any of these wire transfers
is even a minute late,

he will be free to say
whatever he wants

to whomever he wants.

I understand.

Is money enough?

There's also this.

Arendt's children?

He will know that I will know

where they are every
day that he's in jail.

You wouldn't actually hurt them?

Imagine the kind of man
that could hurt a child,

the psychic baggage
that would come along

with something like that.

You'd never offload it.

Not really.

Make the payments. I'll

Jail time?

He's not even gonna negotiate

my client to tell you

that Spartan-Ives is willing
to pay a small fine,

but that there will be
no admission of guilt

by Mr. Boyd personally and,
of course, no termination.

We have an authenticated

How bad?

We cut deals with all the

but...

Some are backing out?

A guy named Hank Flagg.

Spoke to my lawyers last night.

I don't think he's some crank.

He's made it clear he's holding
out for a better deal.

Does he know it's a casino?

I made all the offers
through an LLC.

No one knows I'm involved.

Can we work around him?

Well, he's got 200 acres
of shit, but it's key.

It's where we need to build

the access road to
the interstate.

Well, what was your offer?

One-point-five.

For 200 acres in the middle
of the fucking sticks?

Yeah, you wanted to get it done.

I did.

We'll bring in a
government agency,

a community-reinvestment
development authority.

They will basically force
him from the land.

That'll turn into the
litigation from hell.

Special-interest groups'll
pile on, environmentalistas.

That flame'll burn quick,

and then I'll bleed the guy out.

He'll take my price.

They always do.

Two years at the outside.

Look, I'd be willing

you'll turn him.

I'm gonna go check on the grill.

Well, you, of all

I can't really answer that.

I do understand.

And I know you're his lawyer,
but you're also his friend.

If Chuck's in crisis,

then hiding it because
of some code,

that doesn't help anybody.

It has nothing to
do with a code.

It's true he is in crisis.

He's getting crushed, actually.

I wish he'd tell me.

He doesn't want to risk
freighting the relationship.

He's afraid it'll collapse
under the stress.

He's showing superhuman
restraint, if you ask me.

I wish I'd had one-tenth of that

when Elizabeth and I

The irony is,

he's probably never needed you

Is it something

Honestly... I don't know.

I've seen him in the
line of fire before,

but this... this...
This is a siege.

And I will say this,

the Axelrod civil suits are
a big fucking part of it.

He said they couldn't hurt
him while he was in office.

He was padding it.

And proud of it.

So was my grandfather.

Lincoln Tunnel, back in '34.

He said he never earned a bonus.

Has that changed over the years?

No. No. Never gotten a bonus.

Do you think you'd be
able to decide this case

in a fair and impartial manner

if you knew that the average
Spartan-Ives bonus last year

was over 366,000 dollars?

Holy shit.

Again, this is a
hypothetical, but...

He's torqueing up this jury

like a fluffer on a porn set.

They're inflamed for the moment.
They'll calm down.

What if you knew Mr.
Boyd's personal bonus

was more than 50 times that?

That wouldn't
affect your ability

to be impartial, would it?

I would be impartial.

Always trust a sandhog.

You have a confusing résumé.

What's with the, uh, fox-trot

from Southern District
to Eastern and back?

Nothing. It happens.

It never occurred
to you that Rhoades

was moving you around
to serve his purposes

whenever he found himself
holding a Yarborough?

I don't play bridge.

You're excused, juror 32.

How many challenges
do they have left?

That's tap city.

If that's your view of bankers,

then you could probably
recognize when a-a witness

has a personal hatred
for the defendant

and accord him the
impartiality he deserves?

Sure I could.

I assume everyone hates
this man from first sight.

It's not gonna color my opinion.

These jurors are gonna
do me like Louis XVI.

Let me work.

Summer I was 18,

I worked in menswear at
Gimbels department store.

It doesn't exist anymore.

I wore a suit to work.

And I wore three suits home
underneath it on my last day...

sold them on the side
to pay for college.

The risk was worth the
reward back then because...

I had nothing to lose.

I'm not that kid anymore.

I'm facing ten years
in federal prison.

That's a risk I cannot tolerate.

Larry.

Hear you had a rough one.

I'm at the table, Chuck.
Don't be a son of a bitch.

We're ready to settle.

Admission of guilt,
five years' probation,

and a 60 million dollar fine.

A very nice offer.

It's funny.

Something about a settlement
doesn't sit right with me.

Bid-rigging the U.S.

that, to me, is a crime that...
so profoundly

No deal.

General.

Chuck.

I hear you have confounded
Boyd and his team.

Congratulations.

This call means the world to me.

Thank you, ma'am.

Yes.

You have made it clear

that there will be no special
treatment, haven't you?

Thought that made
sense, considering.

Now they're seeking settlement.

But I look forward to a trial...

A hard-hitting trial.

I would never meddle. I
need you to know that.

I would never ask you
to accept a plea

unless you, too, felt that plea

was in the best
interest of justice.

I appreciate that.

We are, as always, interested
in the same thing.

And I want you to know

that I would never
refuse to accept a plea

if, suddenly, I saw that to
do so would be more fair.

And that the idea of you

never meddling...

extended to me and
the entire scope

of my affairs in the
Southern District.

You have your open field.

Make the deal.

And so, now, as the great
Bruce Buffer says,

"It's time."

Do you believe U.S.
Attorney Rhoades

remained involved
in the Axelrod case

even after he'd recused himself?

Yes.

Yes. Of course.

How did you know?

Specifics.

He came to me with information

that made it clear he
was still involved.

He made it clear
that I was to try

to get the same information...

but to do so in a way that...

Yes, General.

Um...

But...

Uh, I-I understand.
Yes. Yes, ma'am.

But I'm... But I'm just now

just a few more...

No. No.

Um, of course.

As you wish.

You can go.

What?

We're done here.

Yeah?

Well, I hope you've

Well...

Do you know what I...
What I like most

about my job, Mr. Rhoades?

The sartorial flair?

I took an oath.

The same oath sworn
by you, in fact,

to the people of
the United States.

And when I see that someone

is putting his own
interests above that oath,

there is nothing I like
better than making sure

they never get another job

I should have told
you about Wendy

before I even spoke to her.

You think this is about her?

Bobby, you act like
we're in this together.

You make command decisions,
sometimes life-changing,

and you don't even run
them by me first.

You make plans, you

me after the fact.

my brothers and sisters.

I have walked away from things

Words you never want to hear

You're gonna want to hear this.
It is very good.

On my way over here, I got a
call from Axelrod's lawyer.

They are not gonna be

They're not gonna be
deposing you at all.

But their case can't
proceed unless...

Their case isn't proceeding.

They are dropping
the lawsuits...

What did I tell you?
You have muscle.

You even scared Axelrod.

When did this happen?

I got the call on the way over.

Your father's right. You
must've scared him.

What's the problem?

Now you're truly unencumbered.

Axelrod isn't scared by
displays of strength.

Uh...

Thank you for this tribute.
