[Axe] Previously
on Billions...

The case you'll be bringing is:
obstruction of justice.

Against the
Attorney General.

We need the icebreaker now.
We need Grigor Andolov.

[Taylor] International criminals
are unstable bedrock

[Taylor] for a cap raise.

You don't think taking his money
was at least worth a discussion?

There was a discussion.

He said I was
off the raise team.

[Foley] This is
an object lesson.

It's time to put away
childish enthusiasms.

I don't even know
that it's wrong for him

to do
what he's doing...

[Danzig] only that I don't like
how it makes me feel.

Boss...
Mick Danzig just quit.

[Chuck] Jack.
No.

Yes, Jack.

[Chuck] I know that you have
built a good chunk

[Chuck] of your fortune
on cheap steel deals.

It's not only illegal,
it's fucking dangerous.

But if you imagine
this is the first time

I've ever had to wrestle
with my shoulders near the mat,

you're gonna learn
something very different.

We. Fucking. Did it!

Six billion dollars committed.

[Wags] I've been making
follow-up calls to book

[Wags] the money that
was pledged at the raise.

I'm having problems
locking it in.

[Milyutin] It looks like you're
ready to get into business.

[Taylor] I need a meeting
with your boss, Grigor Andolov.

I will pull
all my money,

and I will give it
to Taylor.

[Taylor] A new
kind of organization.

And you can make more
than you do now.

With a partnership stake.

You've stolen from me.
And you've betrayed me.

Alvin?
[Epstein] We got him.

[Epstein] It worked.
I can play you the tape.

[Jock] The fellas told me
what you had in store for me.

You, Charles Rhoades Junior,
are relieved of duty.

On power of the President,
you are fired!

Get the fuck
out of here.

'Lo, Bob.
Charles.

So, you know how you're gonna
go after Jock?

Some ideas
floating around my head.

[Chuck] And, uh, Taylor?

Yeah.

Got a plan
that's starting to form.

It's considered by many to be

he made as an apology

Is that so?

Indubitably.
Hmm.

Just two years earlier,
he was scalded

when his girlfriend threw
a boiling pot of hot grits

over him
in the midst of a fight.

She felt so bad after, that
she retreated into the bedroom,

picked up his handgun...
his handgun...

and shot herself.

Dead.

Tragic.

Mm.
My guess?

Green never
forgave himself

for having that pistol
in the house.

This bullshit
is you telling me

you can't get me
a gun permit.

[chuckles] No, sir!

It is
no small thing to do,

but if that's what's necessary,
I can make it happen.

No, I tell you the story
as a way to communicate

that you shouldn't want
a gun permit.

I don't want one.
I need one.

I'm high profile,
I own horses,

I carry cash
to and from the track,

to the garage
and back.

My wife, look,
the kid loves jewelry,

I need to know that we can
move freely and safely.

Mr. Brogan, do not get a permit
to carry a handgun.

You asked for my counsel,
that's my counsel.

No. I'm not here
for your counsel.

You're supposed to be
a power broker now, right?

So broker some power.

Tap your relationship

Unless, when they canned your
ass, you lost all your pull.

Is that what this is?
[chuckles] Please.

My favor bank

How's this: I happen to have

a Park-Anywhere Permit

direct from
the Mayor's Office.

You can pull right up wherever

no one

You park on the sidewalk

and cops will have
to walk around it.

Cops already walk
around my car.

I have
an ex-cop driving it.

I know a carry permit is
almost impossible in New York.

Yes.
Toughest in the country.

Only ex-cops and ex-feds

and this is how
we're gonna do it...

You can't get Brogan
a gun permit?

[Senior] Pathetic.

Uh, we live in New York City,
Dad, not Beaumont, Texas.

Gun permits are quite hard
to come by.

I sent that man in to you
because he is important

[Senior] in the very city
in which we live.

And state.

With all the benefactors
you will need.

You sent him to me? Hmm?
Who the fuck else?

You need
to go on the offensive.

Because everyone else
is lining up against you.

Tell him, Ira.

Hello, buddy.
Your father is correct.

Most of your major cases are
being put under review by SDNY,

by Connerty,
for any kind of wrongdoing.

Oh, those fuckers.

All my good work undone.
Hmm?

Legacy trashed.

All my accomplishments wiped out
as though I were never there.

Yeah, that'll happen.
But it's worse than that.

They're digging

wrongful prosecutions,

politically motivated
decision-making,

conflict of interest...

they'll try to
abandon convictions.

Your name will be ruined.

That's my name

And it will not

I don't think we can stop...
Oyez, oyez, Sonny!

They are trying to hang you
from the yardarm.

And you have not claimed
the high ground

from where
you can repel the siege.

If you were in
a position of influence,

if you had a power base...
[Senior] Yes.

Then you could take vengeance
on them, on Connerty and...

Jeffcoat
and the rest,

make them defend
instead of attack.

All I want is vengeance,
and it will be had.

And we all know
what I need to do it.

A perch.

And Epstein's vacated
New York Attorney General's seat

is there for me.

And maybe
I could win it.

But the moment
I poke my head up,

Or threaten to,

as I'm no longer
in a position to prosecute him.

I would slap your face

if I didn't think
it'd turn you on.

It wouldn't, Dad.

Not from you.
Not how it works.

Good lord.

Well, regardless.

We could give what you have
to a sympathetic prosecutor.

Or at the right time,
I will take care of Foley.

But you get yourself
in goddamn position.

Get off your ass
and rebuild your influence.

No, really.
Fuck you.

When you were
U.S. Attorney,

there were plenty of favors
I could have used.

Where were you then?

That's what this morning brings:
Me changing that.

Look, I could beat

But who's that serving?

I may not still be
U.S. Attorney...

still plenty wired
in this town.

Try me out.

Let me flip it first, so I know
what I'm setting myself up for.

What do you
fucking need?

An introduction
to Ambassador Suarez.

I hear
you're close to him.

Yeah.

Uh, look.

I'm not a transactional man
by nature...

No. Sure.
Of course. Absolutely.

But this isn't...

I could intro you,
but not right now.

Mm.

With all the shit going on
with his stepson,

the Ambassador isn't interested
in meeting people

who are looking
for favors.

If I put you with him,

then, yeah, I'd have to
get something in return.

Okay, then let me suggest
a favor I can do for you,

since you won't
volunteer one.

I have
a Park-Anywhere Permit.

Say the word,
and it's yours.

I've got
a Mayor's Office Pass.

Had one since
Bloomberg's first term.

Thanks anyway.

Well,
there must be something

that would
make it worthwhile.

Ahhh,
there's one thing,

but really not
in your, uh, "purview."

Try me.

I need tickets

to the Central Synagogue
children's Hanukkah service.

Done.
How many?

In the main room.
Not in the overflow.

I want to sit
with my daughter,

but my ex's brother is
the president of the board.

He's keeping me out.

You get that done
for me,

and I'll put you
with the Ambassador.
