Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,226 --> 00:00:03,187
Previously on Billions.
2
00:00:03,228 --> 00:00:05,647
Michael Prince Capital is
not off to a banner start.
3
00:00:05,689 --> 00:00:06,899
I work for a legend.
4
00:00:08,150 --> 00:00:09,818
- I'm out.
- Team up?
5
00:00:09,860 --> 00:00:10,986
Done.
6
00:00:11,028 --> 00:00:13,155
We need to be clean. Beyond reproach.
7
00:00:13,197 --> 00:00:16,283
I find myself unwilling to help you.
8
00:00:16,325 --> 00:00:17,993
He seems to be after
more than profits here.
9
00:00:18,035 --> 00:00:20,204
I am hereby creating The Prince List,
10
00:00:20,245 --> 00:00:22,873
shedding all the dirty
capital currently invested.
11
00:00:22,915 --> 00:00:24,375
Bud Lazzara. He's the key.
12
00:00:24,416 --> 00:00:25,834
We're not paying.
13
00:00:25,876 --> 00:00:27,336
Big retailer's been playing dirty.
14
00:00:27,378 --> 00:00:28,837
Rask Sportswear.
15
00:00:28,879 --> 00:00:30,547
And we're gonna short
the snot out of it.
16
00:00:30,589 --> 00:00:31,840
There's a problem with the short.
17
00:00:31,882 --> 00:00:33,217
You created this problem, fix it.
18
00:00:33,258 --> 00:00:35,052
His wife came by yesterday.
19
00:00:35,094 --> 00:00:36,887
It's no coincidence that you
got involved with my sponsor.
20
00:00:36,929 --> 00:00:38,889
Are you trying to buy back
the relationship you want?
21
00:00:38,931 --> 00:00:40,391
I haven't given up.
22
00:00:40,432 --> 00:00:41,850
I know you bribed Mr. Santulli,
23
00:00:41,892 --> 00:00:44,186
the head of the Door & Custodial Union.
24
00:00:44,228 --> 00:00:45,562
Rask is tanking.
25
00:00:45,604 --> 00:00:47,356
Killed the buyout
and fed it to the dogs.
26
00:00:47,398 --> 00:00:48,690
You saw the news about the Games?
27
00:00:48,732 --> 00:00:50,902
- They're pulling them.
- Prince isn't just playing the markets.
28
00:00:50,998 --> 00:00:52,069
His chessboard is much bigger,
29
00:00:52,128 --> 00:00:54,405
and I don't think he's done
making his moves yet.
30
00:00:54,482 --> 00:00:56,990
The very first New York Olympics.
31
00:00:57,032 --> 00:00:58,575
Every time New York has fallen...
32
00:00:58,617 --> 00:01:00,577
It has been lifted up and rebuilt
33
00:01:00,619 --> 00:01:01,829
by a great man.
34
00:01:01,870 --> 00:01:03,330
And that's you this time.
35
00:01:03,372 --> 00:01:05,624
And he won't stop till
he gets what he wants.
36
00:01:37,990 --> 00:01:40,617
I just achieved slow-wave sleep,
37
00:01:40,659 --> 00:01:42,619
which you know I struggle with.
38
00:01:42,661 --> 00:01:45,581
- Why am I...
- We've got a problem.
39
00:01:45,622 --> 00:01:47,458
Better be a real, bigtime...
40
00:01:47,499 --> 00:01:49,418
Trust me. It is.
It's why I called you in.
41
00:01:49,460 --> 00:01:50,752
The issue is...
42
00:01:50,794 --> 00:01:51,795
You didn't call me in.
43
00:01:51,837 --> 00:01:53,130
Of course, there's no need.
44
00:01:53,172 --> 00:01:54,923
That's why I have an alert set up.
45
00:01:54,965 --> 00:01:56,425
If there's
middle-of-the-night swipe-ins,
46
00:01:56,467 --> 00:01:58,719
it's either because people
are quitting en masse
47
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,095
and stealing drives,
48
00:02:00,137 --> 00:02:02,389
or there's a margin call-level problem.
49
00:02:02,431 --> 00:02:03,724
Which is it?
50
00:02:03,765 --> 00:02:05,893
It's... more of the latter.
51
00:02:05,934 --> 00:02:08,020
Well, you have a captive audience.
52
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,064
I, uh...
53
00:02:11,106 --> 00:02:13,984
met up with Mafee tonight.
Drinks, you know?
54
00:02:14,026 --> 00:02:15,319
We stayed friends,
I hope that's not any kind...
55
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:16,737
- Speak.
- Right, well...
56
00:02:16,778 --> 00:02:19,114
he kinda spilled some major tea.
57
00:02:19,156 --> 00:02:20,616
"Tea" is gossip.
58
00:02:20,657 --> 00:02:22,659
Yeah. About what?
59
00:02:23,535 --> 00:02:25,370
About the Olympics.
60
00:02:27,998 --> 00:02:29,958
We are rolling, Wyatt.
61
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,169
I'm not on Molly right now. Or ever.
62
00:02:32,211 --> 00:02:34,796
Tombstone?
63
00:02:34,838 --> 00:02:37,132
Never mind.
We got something huge in the works.
64
00:02:37,174 --> 00:02:39,134
Real estate-focused SPAC.
65
00:02:39,176 --> 00:02:41,011
Offering's coming out this week.
You should invest.
66
00:02:41,053 --> 00:02:43,305
- I should?
- It's our ticket, man.
67
00:02:43,347 --> 00:02:45,682
They call these things
"blank check companies."
68
00:02:45,724 --> 00:02:47,518
Whale-sized investors launch them
69
00:02:47,559 --> 00:02:49,186
to raise IPO-level money
70
00:02:49,228 --> 00:02:50,979
they can plow into whatever
the hell they want to,
71
00:02:51,021 --> 00:02:52,689
totally unbridled.
72
00:02:52,731 --> 00:02:55,484
In this case, holding company
for prime city real estate.
73
00:02:55,526 --> 00:02:56,902
I'm familiar with SPACs.
74
00:02:56,944 --> 00:02:58,987
- They're all over the Street.
- Right.
75
00:02:59,029 --> 00:03:01,281
Anyway, it's a partnership with a big...
76
00:03:01,323 --> 00:03:05,827
Well, a really big and
also really not-so-big guy.
77
00:03:05,869 --> 00:03:07,996
You sound enthusiastic.
78
00:03:08,038 --> 00:03:10,541
We blew through our risk management,
doubled down on this thing.
79
00:03:10,582 --> 00:03:12,125
You're a brand-new firm,
and you're risking it all
80
00:03:12,167 --> 00:03:15,045
- on sponsoring a SPAC?
- No worries. It's an STD.
81
00:03:15,087 --> 00:03:17,005
- Uh, what? Gross.
- A sure thing, dude.
82
00:03:17,047 --> 00:03:18,799
- Oh.
- And beyond that,
83
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,385
it's a gold medal situation.
84
00:03:21,426 --> 00:03:24,054
Buying up land for the Olympics.
85
00:03:24,096 --> 00:03:26,223
Another player's making my move. Who?
86
00:03:26,265 --> 00:03:28,976
He didn't say. Thus, this meeting.
87
00:03:29,017 --> 00:03:30,978
Now I get why you woke me up.
88
00:03:31,019 --> 00:03:33,522
All right, if anyone needs
to go home, shower up,
89
00:03:33,564 --> 00:03:36,567
put on your daytime Garanimals,
go ahead and get back here.
90
00:03:36,608 --> 00:03:38,569
I can send one of the
drivers if anyone needs it.
91
00:03:38,610 --> 00:03:40,696
- Do it. Also...
- I'll send the other driver
92
00:03:40,737 --> 00:03:42,996
to Veselka, then Chinatown.
Anyone want anything else,
93
00:03:43,031 --> 00:03:45,035
let me know, we'll deal with it.
94
00:03:46,618 --> 00:03:48,704
Okay, folks,
Kristy's organizing the midnight snacks
95
00:03:48,745 --> 00:03:50,247
and strong coffee.
96
00:03:50,289 --> 00:03:51,915
Let's get into it.
97
00:03:59,756 --> 00:04:01,633
Sacker, I want your best ideas...
98
00:04:01,675 --> 00:04:03,176
press, political, financial,
99
00:04:03,218 --> 00:04:05,053
hell, I'll even take spiritual...
100
00:04:05,095 --> 00:04:07,387
on how we'll fell the highest
net worth individual...
101
00:04:07,422 --> 00:04:08,448
Son.
102
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,184
I thought there'd be
some perfectly legal
103
00:04:11,226 --> 00:04:13,520
fringe benefits to you being AG,
104
00:04:13,562 --> 00:04:16,690
but I find myself a squirrel
who can't get a nut.
105
00:04:16,732 --> 00:04:18,108
Dad, you can't just...
106
00:04:18,150 --> 00:04:20,277
Oh, I told your girl I was expected.
107
00:04:20,319 --> 00:04:22,029
And asked could she
get me a tomato juice
108
00:04:22,070 --> 00:04:23,614
from the diner around the corner.
109
00:04:23,655 --> 00:04:25,032
Told her I'd protect the door.
110
00:04:25,073 --> 00:04:27,451
And I did. From the inside.
111
00:04:27,492 --> 00:04:29,202
Anyway.
112
00:04:29,244 --> 00:04:31,038
I was getting my paperwork in order
113
00:04:31,079 --> 00:04:33,707
to make an offer to buy your land,
114
00:04:33,749 --> 00:04:36,710
and then you let someone
skip in line ahead of me?
115
00:04:36,752 --> 00:04:38,712
- My land?
- The NYAG's Office
116
00:04:38,754 --> 00:04:42,215
monitors the disbursement of
certain land for proper use,
117
00:04:42,257 --> 00:04:44,176
does it not?!
118
00:04:45,177 --> 00:04:46,637
Ah, family.
119
00:04:46,678 --> 00:04:48,430
Love to see it.
120
00:04:48,472 --> 00:04:49,765
Love to leave it behind.
121
00:04:49,806 --> 00:04:51,808
Jesus Christ, Dad.
122
00:04:51,850 --> 00:04:53,310
We can do this at your house, later.
123
00:04:53,352 --> 00:04:55,520
- Or never. Never works, too.
- Not for me.
124
00:04:55,562 --> 00:04:57,939
I was going to throw up
one of those 80/20 jobs
125
00:04:57,981 --> 00:04:59,524
with the "poor door."
126
00:04:59,566 --> 00:05:01,068
Luxury condo building
127
00:05:01,109 --> 00:05:03,528
with the separate
entrance for the unwashed.
128
00:05:03,570 --> 00:05:06,406
Subsidized housing units
to trigger the tax breaks.
129
00:05:06,448 --> 00:05:07,616
A real man of the people.
130
00:05:07,658 --> 00:05:09,618
But someone is buying it all up.
131
00:05:09,660 --> 00:05:11,578
As is the normal course of...
132
00:05:11,620 --> 00:05:15,374
No, this is about as normal as
a Gaylord Perry Mystery Pitch.
133
00:05:15,415 --> 00:05:18,418
Just loaded up with viscous slime.
134
00:05:18,460 --> 00:05:19,586
Aha.
135
00:05:19,628 --> 00:05:21,171
Who bought the land, Dad?
136
00:05:21,213 --> 00:05:23,340
Looks like several buyers.
All shell corps.
137
00:05:23,382 --> 00:05:25,258
Terms have been set. They have
30 days to close with the cash.
138
00:05:25,300 --> 00:05:27,761
Anything unusual with the approvals?
139
00:05:27,803 --> 00:05:31,515
No. Except there hasn't been
much activity until recently.
140
00:05:32,974 --> 00:05:34,685
You don't need this development, Dad.
141
00:05:34,726 --> 00:05:36,978
And even if you did,
I wouldn't lift a finger to help.
142
00:05:37,020 --> 00:05:38,271
Not 'cause I don't love you.
143
00:05:38,313 --> 00:05:39,690
Because it would be wrong.
144
00:05:39,731 --> 00:05:41,358
In the past, you didn't really...
145
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,235
Ah. I can't change any of that.
146
00:05:44,736 --> 00:05:48,156
Well, I was a straight shooter
about my plans.
147
00:05:48,198 --> 00:05:51,187
Being shameless does not change
a Haman into a Mordechai.
148
00:05:51,222 --> 00:05:52,536
Bye, Dad.
149
00:05:56,456 --> 00:05:59,334
I can't believe
that I'm raising this, but,
150
00:05:59,376 --> 00:06:02,070
we forget who brought us this
information and we use it.
151
00:06:02,112 --> 00:06:03,171
Yeah.
152
00:06:03,213 --> 00:06:05,241
If a big player or corporation
is going through the land bank
153
00:06:05,249 --> 00:06:07,192
to make big purchases on the downlow.
154
00:06:07,207 --> 00:06:10,345
Yes. That's absolutely against
the spirit of the thing.
155
00:06:10,387 --> 00:06:12,097
And likely means some other high-baller
156
00:06:12,139 --> 00:06:13,640
is looking to make the
same move as my father.
157
00:06:13,682 --> 00:06:15,600
- You want me to...
- Yeah.
158
00:06:15,642 --> 00:06:17,644
We need to find out who's
trying to buy up all this land,
159
00:06:17,686 --> 00:06:18,895
and why.
160
00:06:49,551 --> 00:06:50,635
We're gathering.
161
00:06:59,519 --> 00:07:02,063
I know how we're going to
smoke out this mystery bidder.
162
00:07:02,105 --> 00:07:05,525
Put a piece of land up for sale.
The piece bordering Stuy Town.
163
00:07:05,567 --> 00:07:07,736
I thought you were trying
to buy more land...
164
00:07:07,778 --> 00:07:10,822
He is. Whoever's backing Mafee
and Dollar Bill will bite at it.
165
00:07:10,864 --> 00:07:12,824
Yes. It'll come anonymously,
through a shell corp.
166
00:07:12,866 --> 00:07:14,326
Which we'll reject.
167
00:07:14,367 --> 00:07:15,702
But we'll get enough
details to figure out
168
00:07:15,744 --> 00:07:17,746
who's spearheading the SPAC.
169
00:07:17,788 --> 00:07:19,706
And once it IPOs,
we can bend this thing over,
170
00:07:19,748 --> 00:07:22,083
no lube required, and...
171
00:07:23,710 --> 00:07:27,506
I mean, there are many things
within SEC guidelines we can do
172
00:07:27,547 --> 00:07:30,091
to express our negative sentiment on it,
173
00:07:30,133 --> 00:07:32,052
and convince others
to see it the same way,
174
00:07:32,093 --> 00:07:35,055
- once it is trading publicly.
- There ya go.
175
00:07:35,076 --> 00:07:36,085
That's where I thought you were going.
176
00:07:36,094 --> 00:07:38,308
But this is Mafee and Dollar
Bill's big investment.
177
00:07:38,350 --> 00:07:39,810
Don't we still love...
178
00:07:39,851 --> 00:07:41,394
I mean, have fond feelings for...
179
00:07:41,436 --> 00:07:44,147
well, most of us...
some of us... I do...
180
00:07:44,189 --> 00:07:47,067
- Spit it out, you stuttering...
- Mafee! I still care about Mafee.
181
00:07:47,108 --> 00:07:48,819
Yes, as I do, Ben.
182
00:07:48,860 --> 00:07:50,612
But once we find out who's
really going to run the SPAC
183
00:07:50,654 --> 00:07:52,489
for them, Prince will block it,
and, yes,
184
00:07:52,531 --> 00:07:54,825
whatever they've invested
in it will be worthless.
185
00:07:54,866 --> 00:07:57,828
And he feels bad about it,
that fucking baby.
186
00:07:57,869 --> 00:07:59,412
How can you not even care?
187
00:07:59,454 --> 00:08:02,207
You were in an intimate
relationship with Dollar...
188
00:08:02,249 --> 00:08:06,378
I am in a relationship
with dollars, end sentence.
189
00:08:06,419 --> 00:08:08,713
Look, I love those guys. For real.
190
00:08:08,755 --> 00:08:10,590
We've plundered and partied
with 'em back in the day.
191
00:08:10,632 --> 00:08:13,510
But if they fuck with our shit,
they get fucked.
192
00:08:17,764 --> 00:08:20,308
Great to see the team spirit is intact.
193
00:08:20,350 --> 00:08:22,143
But I'm a builder, not a destroyer.
194
00:08:22,185 --> 00:08:23,562
I'll always find a positive solution
195
00:08:23,603 --> 00:08:25,814
before considering a destructive path.
196
00:08:25,856 --> 00:08:28,733
I look at every competitor
as a potential new partner...
197
00:08:28,775 --> 00:08:30,402
right up until I can't anymore.
198
00:08:30,443 --> 00:08:32,445
I'm on board with this approach.
199
00:08:32,487 --> 00:08:33,488
We're happy.
200
00:08:33,530 --> 00:08:35,782
- He's on his way up.
- Good.
201
00:08:35,824 --> 00:08:37,492
We have an important visitor,
202
00:08:37,534 --> 00:08:39,703
someone I'm convinced will
help win over the Commission.
203
00:08:39,744 --> 00:08:41,788
Wags, I want you
on this detail with Scooter.
204
00:08:41,830 --> 00:08:43,623
I'll sit in with you fellas.
205
00:08:43,665 --> 00:08:45,542
Try to have fun.
206
00:08:45,584 --> 00:08:46,877
We're a team.
207
00:08:46,918 --> 00:08:48,461
So it seems.
208
00:08:49,013 --> 00:08:50,422
Fab.
209
00:08:52,007 --> 00:08:54,384
You believe in this
potential new partner bit?
210
00:08:54,786 --> 00:08:56,553
I want to.
211
00:08:58,805 --> 00:09:00,265
Sure, the president of
212
00:09:00,307 --> 00:09:02,225
the International Commission of Sport
213
00:09:02,267 --> 00:09:04,269
does have some sway,
214
00:09:04,311 --> 00:09:06,771
but there are 104 voting members,
215
00:09:06,813 --> 00:09:10,233
enough of whom must be wooed,
216
00:09:10,275 --> 00:09:12,485
convinced, to influence the others
217
00:09:12,527 --> 00:09:16,281
who aren't susceptible to
extracurricular handling.
218
00:09:16,323 --> 00:09:18,617
Mike, you want to...
219
00:09:18,658 --> 00:09:21,202
And I speak from experience,
selecting a host city
220
00:09:21,244 --> 00:09:23,788
is a very political process.
221
00:09:23,830 --> 00:09:25,123
Mr. Drache, how does it work?
222
00:09:25,165 --> 00:09:26,708
I want to make an impression.
223
00:09:26,750 --> 00:09:28,293
But as I understand it,
224
00:09:28,335 --> 00:09:29,961
the men and women of the Commission,
225
00:09:30,003 --> 00:09:31,630
even those key few I might turn,
226
00:09:31,671 --> 00:09:34,132
don't look kindly upon
strangers bearing gifts.
227
00:09:34,174 --> 00:09:38,178
Because those strangers might
be wearing wires, mightn't they?
228
00:09:38,219 --> 00:09:40,305
But they will take them from me.
229
00:09:41,260 --> 00:09:42,515
Because I was one of them,
230
00:09:42,557 --> 00:09:46,561
before what I refer to as the "ugliness"
231
00:09:46,603 --> 00:09:48,021
forced me out.
232
00:09:48,063 --> 00:09:50,857
But trust, I'm still one of them.
233
00:09:50,899 --> 00:09:52,359
Good.
234
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:53,569
I'm glad I can count on your endorsement
235
00:09:53,620 --> 00:09:55,153
of my plan to land the Olympics.
236
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:58,657
Possibly.
237
00:10:00,492 --> 00:10:01,576
Possibly?
238
00:10:01,618 --> 00:10:04,204
Your reputation speaks. It shouts.
239
00:10:04,245 --> 00:10:07,666
And you certainly seem a top man. But...
240
00:10:08,833 --> 00:10:10,460
you're a little late to this game.
241
00:10:10,502 --> 00:10:11,795
L.A. had things locked.
242
00:10:11,836 --> 00:10:13,171
Until they didn't.
243
00:10:14,589 --> 00:10:16,549
Yeah, until they didn't. Cheers to you.
244
00:10:16,591 --> 00:10:17,926
He had nothing to do with that.
245
00:10:17,968 --> 00:10:20,095
No. Of course not. I'd never suggest.
246
00:10:20,136 --> 00:10:21,262
You kinda did,
247
00:10:21,304 --> 00:10:22,806
but we'll let it slide.
248
00:10:22,847 --> 00:10:26,142
Look, you can't have a Games
without a stadium.
249
00:10:26,184 --> 00:10:29,771
And New York doesn't have a
stadium suitable for the Games...
250
00:10:29,813 --> 00:10:33,108
modern, able to be turned over
quickly depending on the event.
251
00:10:33,149 --> 00:10:36,111
- But we will. I will.
- Will you?
252
00:10:36,152 --> 00:10:37,988
Well, then you may have me too.
253
00:10:38,029 --> 00:10:39,823
If it seems the thing to do.
254
00:10:39,864 --> 00:10:41,825
Gentlemen, I get one shot
255
00:10:41,866 --> 00:10:44,786
every two years between the
Summer and the Winter Games,
256
00:10:44,828 --> 00:10:47,789
so I hew to the Aintree approach:
257
00:10:47,831 --> 00:10:49,165
stick with the favorite.
258
00:10:49,207 --> 00:10:51,418
No time for long shots.
259
00:10:52,419 --> 00:10:53,962
Eh, maybe we'll speak again.
260
00:10:55,714 --> 00:10:56,840
Cheers.
261
00:11:01,136 --> 00:11:03,263
Do we really need that fucking guy?
262
00:11:03,304 --> 00:11:04,514
Sadly, we do.
263
00:11:04,556 --> 00:11:06,182
He's the best in the space.
264
00:11:06,224 --> 00:11:08,727
A very small, rarified space.
265
00:11:10,145 --> 00:11:11,646
Find out who else he's talking to.
266
00:11:11,688 --> 00:11:13,523
- And make those talks...
- Go south?
267
00:11:13,565 --> 00:11:16,026
So he has nowhere else to go
but crawling back to us?
268
00:11:16,067 --> 00:11:18,278
- More or less.
- I'm on it.
269
00:11:18,946 --> 00:11:20,363
Be on it together.
270
00:11:21,406 --> 00:11:23,533
- Yeah, about that...
- Are you serious?
271
00:11:23,575 --> 00:11:26,161
You want us to be your
Tenspeed and Brown Shoe?
272
00:11:26,202 --> 00:11:29,831
I'd have gone with Murtaugh
and Riggs, but, yes.
273
00:11:29,873 --> 00:11:31,249
I am.
274
00:11:36,046 --> 00:11:37,547
News on the land.
275
00:11:37,589 --> 00:11:40,383
All the entities track back
to the same address.
276
00:11:40,425 --> 00:11:41,885
Who're we talking about?
277
00:11:46,056 --> 00:11:47,390
Oh.
278
00:11:47,432 --> 00:11:50,602
Our Sam LeFrak wannabe has surfaced.
279
00:11:58,359 --> 00:11:59,861
Welcome, welcome.
280
00:11:59,903 --> 00:12:01,654
Todd Krakow.
281
00:12:01,696 --> 00:12:03,698
I see life in the Beltway
was a real sacrifice for you.
282
00:12:04,262 --> 00:12:05,658
It was an honor to serve,
283
00:12:05,700 --> 00:12:08,995
but, frankly, I rather enjoy being
back in the private sector.
284
00:12:09,037 --> 00:12:10,538
I missed not having to report to anyone.
285
00:12:10,580 --> 00:12:12,332
We're all accountable to each other
286
00:12:12,373 --> 00:12:14,542
and tethered to this rock by gravity.
287
00:12:14,584 --> 00:12:16,544
If you take the time
to be in the moment...
288
00:12:16,586 --> 00:12:19,172
right there,
you can even feel the Earth move.
289
00:12:19,214 --> 00:12:21,341
Mmm.
290
00:12:26,429 --> 00:12:28,014
Goddamn that felt good. Yeah.
291
00:12:28,056 --> 00:12:29,724
Couldn't do that in a Cabinet meeting.
292
00:12:29,766 --> 00:12:31,559
POTUS could, but that was it.
293
00:12:31,601 --> 00:12:34,062
So, is, uh, that what brings you here?
294
00:12:34,104 --> 00:12:36,397
Wouldn't be a certain real estate SPAC
295
00:12:36,439 --> 00:12:37,774
set to IPO soon?
296
00:12:37,816 --> 00:12:40,276
Not that I'm involved, officially.
297
00:12:40,318 --> 00:12:42,112
No. I want you to think bigger.
298
00:12:42,153 --> 00:12:43,905
"Bigger?" Really?
299
00:12:43,947 --> 00:12:45,406
Join my bid.
300
00:12:45,448 --> 00:12:48,618
We agree on one thing: New York would be
301
00:12:48,660 --> 00:12:50,787
a superb host for the next Olympics.
302
00:12:50,829 --> 00:12:52,455
Not only am I a believer,
I also happen to be
303
00:12:52,497 --> 00:12:54,749
a highly capitalized
partner to buy land with,
304
00:12:54,791 --> 00:12:57,377
to make inroads with the city and state
305
00:12:57,418 --> 00:12:58,878
to help win over the Commission.
306
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,172
The Commission? Hmm.
307
00:13:01,214 --> 00:13:04,801
Only a man with Colin Drache
in his employ can achieve that.
308
00:13:04,843 --> 00:13:06,719
- Do you have him?
- Met today.
309
00:13:06,761 --> 00:13:08,763
Seeing him again tomorrow.
So what do you think?
310
00:13:08,805 --> 00:13:10,557
That's a no. Too many words.
311
00:13:11,185 --> 00:13:13,560
Why fight over possession of the fumble
312
00:13:13,601 --> 00:13:15,228
when we can both be on the same team?
313
00:13:15,270 --> 00:13:17,564
I'd love a Mike Prince-type
onboard as a partner,
314
00:13:17,605 --> 00:13:21,484
but, just so you know,
I'm QB'ing this baby.
315
00:13:21,526 --> 00:13:23,778
What are you going for, huh?
316
00:13:23,820 --> 00:13:26,114
Rehab your public image
after that precipitous fall
317
00:13:26,156 --> 00:13:27,574
from Treasury?
318
00:13:27,615 --> 00:13:30,076
Reboot your Manhattan bona fides?
319
00:13:30,118 --> 00:13:31,244
Get on TV?
320
00:13:31,286 --> 00:13:33,079
Meet chicks?
321
00:13:33,121 --> 00:13:35,582
You tell me what it is,
and I'll help build the new you.
322
00:13:35,623 --> 00:13:37,125
No, I don't think you get it.
323
00:13:37,167 --> 00:13:40,128
Once we IPO and close
on these properties...
324
00:13:40,170 --> 00:13:41,796
and I can see I'm not
gonna get your piece
325
00:13:41,838 --> 00:13:43,673
near Stuy Town, but I don't need it...
326
00:13:43,715 --> 00:13:46,301
I skip right through the
permits to build a new stadium.
327
00:13:46,342 --> 00:13:48,796
Does your bid have one of those?
Didn't think so.
328
00:13:48,831 --> 00:13:51,139
With it, I land the Games,
329
00:13:51,181 --> 00:13:53,641
and then I can have whatever
I want in this town.
330
00:13:53,683 --> 00:13:56,060
So if you want to be a part of my bid,
331
00:13:56,102 --> 00:13:57,770
then make me a real offer.
332
00:13:57,812 --> 00:13:59,898
That starts with buying
a major block of shares
333
00:13:59,939 --> 00:14:02,400
when they IPO tomorrow and I announce.
334
00:14:02,442 --> 00:14:05,820
Otherwise, you may end up having
to wait in line to get tickets
335
00:14:05,862 --> 00:14:07,405
like the Commoners.
336
00:14:07,447 --> 00:14:08,990
Can you imagine?
337
00:14:11,576 --> 00:14:14,204
Usually this is the part where
the guy on the other side
338
00:14:14,245 --> 00:14:15,705
of the desk flexes, huffs, puffs
339
00:14:15,747 --> 00:14:18,082
and makes vague but serious threats.
340
00:14:20,710 --> 00:14:22,086
I don't go to war that way.
341
00:14:24,255 --> 00:14:26,090
I just go to war.
342
00:14:35,350 --> 00:14:36,476
You ready to get going?
343
00:14:36,517 --> 00:14:38,728
Already going.
344
00:14:38,770 --> 00:14:40,313
There's a guy we used to work with
345
00:14:40,355 --> 00:14:41,731
who can follow Colin around,
346
00:14:41,773 --> 00:14:43,650
do a deep dive into
his data and history,
347
00:14:43,691 --> 00:14:45,860
and find out exactly
what makes him tick.
348
00:14:45,902 --> 00:14:48,196
Let's put a pin in black bag ops
349
00:14:48,238 --> 00:14:50,698
that'll put us right out of
business and maybe into jail.
350
00:14:50,740 --> 00:14:52,909
Unless and until such time as.
351
00:14:52,951 --> 00:14:54,035
Fine.
352
00:14:54,077 --> 00:14:55,536
Shall we?
353
00:14:55,578 --> 00:14:57,872
- You mean...?
- He said "together."
354
00:14:57,914 --> 00:14:59,707
I'm aware.
355
00:14:59,749 --> 00:15:01,167
Come to where I'm working.
356
00:15:01,209 --> 00:15:02,669
When I'm not riding shotgun with Prince,
357
00:15:02,710 --> 00:15:03,920
it's where I'm set up.
358
00:15:15,348 --> 00:15:16,975
What the hell is this?
359
00:15:17,016 --> 00:15:18,935
You've never seen a power map?
360
00:15:18,977 --> 00:15:20,436
Naturally. Just...
361
00:15:20,478 --> 00:15:22,605
wondering where the hell
you got this information.
362
00:15:22,647 --> 00:15:24,232
Welcome to the 21st century, Wags.
363
00:15:24,274 --> 00:15:25,858
I will be your guide.
364
00:15:25,900 --> 00:15:27,527
We have Colin Drache's
business associates,
365
00:15:27,568 --> 00:15:29,696
romantic partners, places he frequents,
366
00:15:29,737 --> 00:15:31,197
cologne of choice...
367
00:15:31,239 --> 00:15:32,949
Dior Sauvage!
368
00:15:32,991 --> 00:15:35,368
So that was the stench hovering
around him like Pig-Pen.
369
00:15:35,410 --> 00:15:37,537
We can't trust a man who
wears cologne before 10 a.m.
370
00:15:37,578 --> 00:15:39,247
We have to. By using this,
371
00:15:39,289 --> 00:15:41,082
we'll determine his
spheres of influence,
372
00:15:41,124 --> 00:15:42,875
figure out what he wants,
373
00:15:42,917 --> 00:15:44,752
and then we'll be able to
identify which way he's leaning.
374
00:15:44,794 --> 00:15:47,588
I hate to give you even an
ounce of satisfaction, Scooter,
375
00:15:47,630 --> 00:15:48,798
but this is pretty fucking cool.
376
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,717
Of course it's cool. I made it.
377
00:15:50,758 --> 00:15:52,635
But sadly, it's just a start.
378
00:15:52,677 --> 00:15:55,138
Not surprised to see the bulk
of Colin's network's in Europe.
379
00:15:55,179 --> 00:15:57,890
Yeah. Lot of likely cities
in Europe, though.
380
00:15:58,985 --> 00:16:00,518
We do have these kids who work here.
381
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,854
Very energetic, sometimes annoying.
382
00:16:02,895 --> 00:16:05,273
So PC, they make John
Hodgeman look like an iMac.
383
00:16:05,315 --> 00:16:07,442
We should use them.
384
00:16:12,422 --> 00:16:14,866
Hey, quantlings, special assignment.
Who wants in?
385
00:16:14,907 --> 00:16:16,576
Here's a chance to be
useful for a change.
386
00:16:16,617 --> 00:16:18,411
Your taunts don't hurt me anymore.
387
00:16:18,453 --> 00:16:20,038
I'm not sure millennials are
motivated by competition.
388
00:16:20,079 --> 00:16:22,081
How 'bout this? You both win a trophy.
389
00:16:22,123 --> 00:16:24,834
We need you to do an internet
scrape of one Colin Drache.
390
00:16:24,876 --> 00:16:26,461
You want us to hack someone?
391
00:16:26,502 --> 00:16:28,421
- Black hat?
- That's kinda weird.
392
00:16:28,463 --> 00:16:29,922
- Not a hack.
- Definitely not
393
00:16:29,964 --> 00:16:31,841
asking you to hack anyone.
394
00:16:31,883 --> 00:16:33,926
More like a perfectly legal
ex-girlfriend stalking job.
395
00:16:33,968 --> 00:16:35,428
Oh, this is more your wheelhouse.
396
00:16:35,470 --> 00:16:36,804
We need to see who he's talking to.
397
00:16:36,846 --> 00:16:38,198
He's our in to the Commission.
398
00:16:38,228 --> 00:16:40,266
We need to know what other
cities he may be dancing with
399
00:16:40,308 --> 00:16:41,684
and which way he's leaning.
400
00:16:41,726 --> 00:16:42,977
I'll send you the details.
401
00:16:43,019 --> 00:16:44,270
What do we get if we help?
402
00:16:44,312 --> 00:16:45,980
My foot not up your ass?
403
00:16:46,022 --> 00:16:48,608
Honestly, that approach doesn't
work with my generation.
404
00:16:48,649 --> 00:16:50,360
Oh, you're about to see how well it...
405
00:16:50,401 --> 00:16:51,986
What do you want?
406
00:16:52,028 --> 00:16:53,488
To borrow his Bentley for a weekend.
407
00:16:53,529 --> 00:16:54,739
You got it.
408
00:17:00,845 --> 00:17:02,914
I decided to kill the
pending land bank deals.
409
00:17:02,955 --> 00:17:05,583
Turn 'em down.
Open up a new application process.
410
00:17:05,625 --> 00:17:07,919
I'd like us to issue a press release,
411
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,171
then we string Krakow up
for trying to make a land grab
412
00:17:10,213 --> 00:17:12,590
for illicit purposes
before his SPAC even...
413
00:17:12,632 --> 00:17:14,133
You screwed me out of my Treasury gig,
414
00:17:14,175 --> 00:17:16,260
now you're trying to do it again!
415
00:17:16,302 --> 00:17:19,097
What's the name of that
Randy Rogers Band song I like so much?
416
00:17:19,138 --> 00:17:20,598
- "Speak Of The Devil"?
- That's the one.
417
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:21,808
I'll go get started.
418
00:17:21,849 --> 00:17:23,267
I just don't understand
419
00:17:23,309 --> 00:17:25,019
why you'd side with Mike Prince on this.
420
00:17:25,061 --> 00:17:26,521
Mike Prince?
421
00:17:26,562 --> 00:17:28,606
Uh, you think I sided with him to...
422
00:17:28,648 --> 00:17:31,150
Uh, the land bank
killed my transactions.
423
00:17:31,192 --> 00:17:32,902
We had to.
424
00:17:32,944 --> 00:17:34,821
Because like so many others
in the billionaire class,
425
00:17:34,862 --> 00:17:37,323
you're using loopholes
to game the system.
426
00:17:37,365 --> 00:17:40,743
Using private shell companies
to buy public lands?
427
00:17:40,785 --> 00:17:43,871
Veiling disclosures about land use
for community redevelopment?
428
00:17:43,913 --> 00:17:46,749
It may not be illegal,
but it's unethical.
429
00:17:46,791 --> 00:17:48,709
So is your office accepting graft,
430
00:17:48,751 --> 00:17:50,753
- but that didn't stop you.
- From whom?
431
00:17:50,795 --> 00:17:53,756
Oh, uh, I suppose
we're back to Mike Prince.
432
00:17:53,798 --> 00:17:56,759
You know he just wants
the land for himself.
433
00:17:56,801 --> 00:17:59,095
- How'd he get you on his side?
- He didn't.
434
00:17:59,137 --> 00:18:02,098
But if he tries the same tactic,
he'll face the same scrutiny.
435
00:18:02,140 --> 00:18:04,392
Whatever gig he's offering
you with the Commish,
436
00:18:04,434 --> 00:18:07,061
I'll up it if you
restore my transactions.
437
00:18:07,103 --> 00:18:09,856
- Commish. Right. Sure.
- The Olympic Commission.
438
00:18:09,897 --> 00:18:11,524
Is he gonna give you
something with teeth,
439
00:18:11,566 --> 00:18:14,068
- or something ceremonial?
- Oh.
440
00:18:15,945 --> 00:18:18,865
You two are trying to steer
the Olympics to the City.
441
00:18:19,878 --> 00:18:22,201
May seem weird now,
but Mitt Romney was a fucking god
442
00:18:22,243 --> 00:18:24,245
when he brought them to Salt Lake.
443
00:18:24,287 --> 00:18:25,997
I could use some of that social capital.
444
00:18:26,038 --> 00:18:28,499
Turn it into actual capital. Ka-ching.
445
00:18:28,541 --> 00:18:31,335
Don't make the cash register sound.
446
00:18:31,377 --> 00:18:33,212
I would never.
447
00:18:33,254 --> 00:18:36,591
So you get this land,
you lead the effort,
448
00:18:36,632 --> 00:18:39,719
you become the chair of the
New York City Commission.
449
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,429
You win, and Prince suffers?
450
00:18:41,471 --> 00:18:43,014
Humiliations galore.
451
00:18:44,124 --> 00:18:46,142
Perhaps we can work this out.
452
00:18:47,755 --> 00:18:50,229
Resubmit you applications, cards up.
453
00:18:50,271 --> 00:18:52,398
Transparency will protect us both.
454
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,567
Being open and honest
has never worked for me,
455
00:18:54,609 --> 00:18:56,277
but... I'll try anything.
456
00:18:56,319 --> 00:18:57,820
And, matter of fact,
I will take something.
457
00:18:57,862 --> 00:18:59,655
I'll steer infrastructure
458
00:18:59,697 --> 00:19:02,325
so the people of this city
benefit from all the spending,
459
00:19:02,366 --> 00:19:05,244
and so they don't just end
up with abandoned venues
460
00:19:05,286 --> 00:19:06,496
like Rio's Olympic Park.
461
00:19:06,537 --> 00:19:08,039
That place is a fucking dustbowl.
462
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,583
You're a true steward
of the people, Chuck.
463
00:19:10,625 --> 00:19:12,627
- Mm-hm.
- I appreciate the consideration.
464
00:19:12,668 --> 00:19:13,878
We have a deal.
465
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,046
Good.
466
00:19:15,087 --> 00:19:16,130
Ka-ching.
467
00:19:26,098 --> 00:19:29,268
Let's, uh, hold a beat
on the press conference.
468
00:19:29,310 --> 00:19:31,103
What's up?
469
00:19:31,145 --> 00:19:33,731
Our friend Krakow will get his
shot at the land after all.
470
00:19:33,773 --> 00:19:35,900
How? And more importantly, why?
471
00:19:35,942 --> 00:19:38,069
A different way,
with some different codicils...
472
00:19:38,110 --> 00:19:40,446
That greed-driven
Meisterburger gets to bite off
473
00:19:40,488 --> 00:19:42,573
a big part of the city that
we're supposed to safeguard?
474
00:19:42,615 --> 00:19:44,784
To invite redevelopment
into those areas of the city,
475
00:19:44,825 --> 00:19:46,160
don't we need developers?
476
00:19:46,202 --> 00:19:47,828
Not ones who bypass public approval
477
00:19:47,870 --> 00:19:49,622
to do whatever the hell they want.
478
00:19:49,664 --> 00:19:51,666
This project doesn't advance
without my guiding hand.
479
00:19:51,707 --> 00:19:53,125
It's for the greater good.
480
00:19:53,167 --> 00:19:54,961
It may not feel that way now, but it is.
481
00:19:55,002 --> 00:19:57,004
It certainly doesn't feel that way.
It feels more like...
482
00:19:57,046 --> 00:19:58,714
Understood, Mrs. Sacker.
483
00:20:04,882 --> 00:20:07,223
Mr. Mateo.
484
00:20:07,265 --> 00:20:08,849
Mr. Prince.
485
00:20:08,891 --> 00:20:10,142
It turns out my partnership overtures
486
00:20:10,184 --> 00:20:12,103
weren't met with open arms.
487
00:20:22,738 --> 00:20:24,699
Was that about the Dollar
Bill and Mafee SPAC?
488
00:20:24,740 --> 00:20:27,368
Did he assign you to sanction it?
489
00:20:27,410 --> 00:20:28,452
Like Nicholai Hel?
490
00:20:29,453 --> 00:20:30,871
It's out of my hands.
491
00:20:30,913 --> 00:20:32,748
That means you are gonna sanction it.
492
00:20:32,790 --> 00:20:35,042
Kill it. Them.
493
00:20:35,084 --> 00:20:36,377
Shit.
494
00:20:36,419 --> 00:20:37,962
Shit.
495
00:20:40,298 --> 00:20:41,882
Are you still okay
with Prince going after
496
00:20:41,924 --> 00:20:43,551
our former compatriots? Because he is.
497
00:20:43,593 --> 00:20:46,220
I'm surprised Mafee was
so forthcoming with you
498
00:20:46,262 --> 00:20:48,222
considering he hadn't
suggested any real estate
499
00:20:48,264 --> 00:20:50,224
- speculation with me.
- You and Mafee talk, too?
500
00:20:50,266 --> 00:20:51,767
Of course. We're friends.
501
00:20:51,809 --> 00:20:53,269
We have a standing weekly dinner.
502
00:20:53,311 --> 00:20:55,271
So then you have to agree
we should save them.
503
00:20:55,313 --> 00:20:57,106
If they are anti-fragile,
they will survive
504
00:20:57,148 --> 00:20:59,191
and thrive no matter what Prince does.
And if not,
505
00:20:59,233 --> 00:21:01,193
well, I have to take the long view.
506
00:21:01,235 --> 00:21:02,528
So harsh.
507
00:21:02,570 --> 00:21:03,696
That's the way of the gun.
508
00:21:03,738 --> 00:21:05,197
And you're okay with it.
509
00:21:05,239 --> 00:21:06,991
The gun doesn't care what I'm okay with.
510
00:21:18,252 --> 00:21:20,880
The ruination of the High
Plains SPAC is coming,
511
00:21:20,921 --> 00:21:22,632
and I feel terrible.
512
00:21:22,673 --> 00:21:24,425
I can't focus through the guilt.
513
00:21:24,467 --> 00:21:25,968
You want to be a martyr, be my guest,
514
00:21:26,010 --> 00:21:27,303
but you're not gonna find any grenades
515
00:21:27,345 --> 00:21:29,138
to throw yourself onto in here.
516
00:21:29,180 --> 00:21:30,640
I'm the one who put
them in the crosshairs.
517
00:21:30,681 --> 00:21:32,475
Inadvertently.
518
00:21:32,516 --> 00:21:34,769
You woke half the team
in the middle of the night.
519
00:21:34,810 --> 00:21:36,312
That's advertent.
520
00:21:36,354 --> 00:21:38,314
Because we have a lot
riding on the Olympics.
521
00:21:41,150 --> 00:21:43,319
Beyond that, though?
522
00:21:43,361 --> 00:21:45,363
It's... my job.
523
00:21:46,489 --> 00:21:48,157
I could say you're a PM in a fund
524
00:21:48,199 --> 00:21:49,992
20 times the size of theirs.
525
00:21:50,034 --> 00:21:52,662
Mafee sloppily showed his hand,
you went all in against it.
526
00:21:52,703 --> 00:21:55,665
In what world does that
make you the bad guy?
527
00:21:55,706 --> 00:21:58,292
If you did, I might feel better.
528
00:21:58,334 --> 00:22:01,212
And if I agreed you let
down your moral code?
529
00:22:02,196 --> 00:22:03,631
Worse.
530
00:22:03,673 --> 00:22:05,341
And I'd probably sulk.
531
00:22:06,634 --> 00:22:08,260
So then...
532
00:22:08,302 --> 00:22:10,513
own the fact that Mafee
doesn't work here anymore.
533
00:22:10,554 --> 00:22:12,014
Neither does Dollar Bill.
534
00:22:12,056 --> 00:22:13,849
- Well, yeah, but...
- We're competitors now.
535
00:22:13,891 --> 00:22:16,936
I know. But couldn't I at least
warn them what's coming?
536
00:22:16,977 --> 00:22:18,437
Sure. But play that out.
537
00:22:18,479 --> 00:22:20,314
You'd get fired,
and you'd never work again
538
00:22:20,356 --> 00:22:22,441
because everyone would
know you fed our plays
539
00:22:22,483 --> 00:22:24,443
to the competition because you're you,
540
00:22:24,485 --> 00:22:26,487
and the world's the world,
and that is what will happen.
541
00:22:27,605 --> 00:22:29,448
Wish I hadn't said anything now.
542
00:22:29,490 --> 00:22:31,409
Can't put that shit back in the goose.
543
00:22:33,369 --> 00:22:35,329
You don't want to feel bad again,
544
00:22:35,371 --> 00:22:37,373
act differently. Beforehand.
545
00:22:38,417 --> 00:22:39,875
In the meantime,
you're just gonna have to feel
546
00:22:39,917 --> 00:22:41,377
two things at once because
547
00:22:41,419 --> 00:22:44,088
that's what life demands of us.
548
00:22:47,091 --> 00:22:49,176
Thanks, I guess.
549
00:22:49,218 --> 00:22:50,636
I don't feel any better.
550
00:22:53,389 --> 00:22:56,058
Seems to be my specialty of late.
551
00:23:02,314 --> 00:23:04,525
Tell me, Ben Kim,
552
00:23:04,567 --> 00:23:07,611
do you wish you'd left with
them and stayed loyal to Axe?
553
00:23:08,779 --> 00:23:09,947
Do you?
554
00:23:12,700 --> 00:23:14,118
No.
555
00:23:15,369 --> 00:23:18,122
But I, too, admire
what Mafee and DB did.
556
00:23:18,956 --> 00:23:20,499
Know that.
557
00:23:20,541 --> 00:23:22,293
Then do something.
558
00:24:19,099 --> 00:24:20,226
That's it.
559
00:24:20,267 --> 00:24:22,394
That's enough.
560
00:24:22,436 --> 00:24:23,979
Come on, ladies.
561
00:24:24,021 --> 00:24:25,606
I think destiny is calling us.
562
00:24:31,487 --> 00:24:34,240
Prince says we should add Krakow
to the list of Colin's suitors.
563
00:24:34,281 --> 00:24:35,991
- Figures.
- Prince will knock him off.
564
00:24:36,033 --> 00:24:37,409
We just have to focus on whoever else.
565
00:24:37,451 --> 00:24:39,495
- What's with the stuff?
- My office.
566
00:24:39,537 --> 00:24:40,955
It's yours now. You take it.
567
00:24:40,996 --> 00:24:42,248
- I'm fine...
- Nope.
568
00:24:42,289 --> 00:24:44,291
I'm not unaware of the workflow.
569
00:24:44,333 --> 00:24:46,168
You take it. I'll decamp here.
570
00:24:47,345 --> 00:24:48,504
You sure?
571
00:24:48,546 --> 00:24:49,922
As it should be.
572
00:24:50,074 --> 00:24:52,341
On your way.
573
00:25:08,496 --> 00:25:10,693
Welcome Mayor Johnson.
574
00:25:21,871 --> 00:25:23,581
I get it. You need the room.
575
00:25:27,751 --> 00:25:29,879
I see I'm not the only
new blood in town.
576
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,299
I hope to do in the hedge fund
space what you undoubtedly
577
00:25:33,340 --> 00:25:35,092
will do in City Hall, Ms. Mayor.
578
00:25:39,930 --> 00:25:42,182
I'm coming home, boys!
579
00:25:52,610 --> 00:25:54,194
Mayor Johnson, I'll keep this brief.
580
00:25:54,236 --> 00:25:55,571
When I supported your campaign,
581
00:25:55,613 --> 00:25:57,448
I promised to come
to you with big ideas.
582
00:25:57,489 --> 00:25:59,533
You supported my competitors as well.
583
00:25:59,575 --> 00:26:01,118
- But go on.
- What would you say
584
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,162
to one of my competitors
585
00:26:03,203 --> 00:26:05,205
concealing his efforts
to lure the Olympics here
586
00:26:05,247 --> 00:26:06,790
without consulting you first?
587
00:26:06,832 --> 00:26:07,958
Oh, that?
588
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,627
No new stadium, no bid.
589
00:26:09,668 --> 00:26:10,961
Who is it?
590
00:26:11,003 --> 00:26:12,796
Former Treasury Sec Todd Krakow.
591
00:26:12,838 --> 00:26:14,632
He hasn't announced yet, but it's him.
592
00:26:14,673 --> 00:26:16,467
Hmm. Maybe he has the juice,
593
00:26:16,508 --> 00:26:18,218
but I'm not convinced. For when?
594
00:26:18,260 --> 00:26:20,721
The Games need a new host city for 2028.
595
00:26:21,392 --> 00:26:23,349
That is a tight turnaround.
596
00:26:23,390 --> 00:26:25,184
And the stadium faced
a lot of opposition
597
00:26:25,225 --> 00:26:26,769
last time this idea was floated.
598
00:26:26,810 --> 00:26:28,896
Because it's bad for Manhattan.
For congestion,
599
00:26:28,938 --> 00:26:30,940
for affordable housing,
for the environment.
600
00:26:30,981 --> 00:26:34,193
Okay. So you want to bring this
to the City Council to kill?
601
00:26:34,234 --> 00:26:35,736
You could.
602
00:26:35,778 --> 00:26:37,529
But I believe you stand more to gain
603
00:26:37,571 --> 00:26:39,531
by speaking out against it yourself.
604
00:26:39,573 --> 00:26:40,783
How's that?
605
00:26:40,824 --> 00:26:42,701
You're America's mayor.
606
00:26:42,743 --> 00:26:44,286
With your new profile,
607
00:26:44,328 --> 00:26:47,790
you'd shine a spotlight on my plan
to build a stadium in Westchester.
608
00:26:48,584 --> 00:26:50,584
You'd come out looking like a hero
609
00:26:50,626 --> 00:26:53,379
for putting community
impact ahead of a photo op
610
00:26:53,420 --> 00:26:55,297
and the whims of a rich guy.
611
00:26:56,313 --> 00:26:58,509
I'm not interested
in what it looks like,
612
00:26:58,550 --> 00:27:01,178
and I'm not interested in
making the same mistakes
613
00:27:01,220 --> 00:27:02,846
as the idiot I replaced.
614
00:27:02,888 --> 00:27:04,723
The mistake the idiot
who came before you made
615
00:27:04,765 --> 00:27:06,934
was not caring what stuff looked like.
616
00:27:06,976 --> 00:27:09,645
Which is why he left
office as a punchline.
617
00:27:10,771 --> 00:27:12,147
Hmm.
618
00:27:16,902 --> 00:27:19,446
- They aren't gonna budge.
- You know for sure?
619
00:27:27,413 --> 00:27:29,540
You know who invented steam?
620
00:27:29,581 --> 00:27:31,250
John Fitch.
621
00:27:31,291 --> 00:27:32,835
Steam power, anyway.
622
00:27:32,876 --> 00:27:35,587
The state legislature gave
him a 14-year monopoly
623
00:27:35,629 --> 00:27:37,089
to come up with a commercial use for it.
624
00:27:37,131 --> 00:27:39,008
But Fitch fucked it up,
625
00:27:39,049 --> 00:27:41,593
lost the monopoly because
he couldn't do it.
626
00:27:41,635 --> 00:27:44,430
Steam power transformed the world,
627
00:27:44,471 --> 00:27:47,850
but the man who invented
it died penniless.
628
00:27:47,891 --> 00:27:48,976
Killed himself.
629
00:27:49,018 --> 00:27:50,644
That's a sad story.
630
00:27:50,686 --> 00:27:52,271
Should come with a trigger
warning for the ending.
631
00:27:52,312 --> 00:27:54,189
The ending is the warning.
632
00:27:56,817 --> 00:27:58,569
You two are all in on a steamboat,
633
00:27:58,610 --> 00:28:00,279
but you're gonna end up like Fitch.
634
00:28:01,572 --> 00:28:03,032
You want to keep affording these offices
635
00:28:03,073 --> 00:28:04,616
and your business, you need to listen.
636
00:28:05,534 --> 00:28:07,244
Prince knows all about the SPAC
637
00:28:07,286 --> 00:28:08,787
and the Olympic play,
638
00:28:08,829 --> 00:28:10,164
and he's lining up to
destroy whatever it is
639
00:28:10,205 --> 00:28:11,457
- you're bringing out.
- Wait.
640
00:28:11,498 --> 00:28:13,959
How the fuck does Prince know
about the Olympics piece?
641
00:28:14,001 --> 00:28:16,003
Shit. It was Ben Kim.
642
00:28:16,045 --> 00:28:17,629
How the fuck does Ben Kim know?
643
00:28:17,671 --> 00:28:19,590
I didn't tell him anything.
644
00:28:19,631 --> 00:28:21,467
You know that this is the
moment when the detective
645
00:28:21,508 --> 00:28:23,927
realizes you killed the guy, right?
646
00:28:23,969 --> 00:28:26,305
No one accused you
of anything yet, Mafee,
647
00:28:26,346 --> 00:28:27,931
but you're proclaiming your innocence,
648
00:28:27,973 --> 00:28:30,434
which tells me you're guilty as fuck.
649
00:28:30,476 --> 00:28:31,810
What did you tell him?
650
00:28:31,852 --> 00:28:33,353
I didn't tell him the whole play.
651
00:28:33,395 --> 00:28:35,814
Well, I guess I gave him enough clues.
652
00:28:35,856 --> 00:28:37,649
Prince knows.
That's all that matters now.
653
00:28:37,691 --> 00:28:40,152
No. What matters to you is Prince.
654
00:28:40,194 --> 00:28:43,197
But I give no shits about
what matters to you, or him.
655
00:28:43,238 --> 00:28:46,408
And we are not walking away from
a Mayweather-Pacquiao payday
656
00:28:46,450 --> 00:28:48,535
so that Michael Prince can take it.
657
00:28:49,701 --> 00:28:51,371
We're already in position.
658
00:28:51,413 --> 00:28:53,457
Our incoming partner
has the land on lock.
659
00:28:54,827 --> 00:28:56,919
Why not bring your boss in
660
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,588
to High Plains and
ride the wave with us?
661
00:29:00,881 --> 00:29:02,341
Boys...
662
00:29:02,382 --> 00:29:04,009
here's how this is gonna go.
663
00:29:04,051 --> 00:29:06,011
When the IPO happens,
you're gonna feel like winners,
664
00:29:06,053 --> 00:29:07,429
like you've finally made it.
665
00:29:07,471 --> 00:29:09,098
But when Prince kills the Olympic play,
666
00:29:09,139 --> 00:29:11,475
the SPAC is gonna liquidate,
and you're gonna drown.
667
00:29:12,117 --> 00:29:14,895
You need to abandon your plan.
668
00:29:14,937 --> 00:29:17,022
Pull the filing while you still can,
669
00:29:17,064 --> 00:29:19,733
before you wreck your
reputations and lose your money.
670
00:29:29,368 --> 00:29:31,495
Appreciate you coming to us with this.
671
00:29:31,537 --> 00:29:33,497
Do you?
672
00:29:33,539 --> 00:29:35,165
First time here, it's like you squatted
673
00:29:35,207 --> 00:29:36,583
in the middle of the office
674
00:29:36,625 --> 00:29:38,043
and took a big steaming
dump on the floor,
675
00:29:38,085 --> 00:29:39,670
but we know when we're beat.
676
00:29:39,711 --> 00:29:41,547
Speaking of dumps,
we've got some calls to make,
677
00:29:41,588 --> 00:29:43,882
to some investors that are
gonna be plenty disappointed
678
00:29:43,924 --> 00:29:45,843
we cancelled the offering.
We better get to it.
679
00:29:47,761 --> 00:29:49,429
You two are terrible liars,
680
00:29:49,471 --> 00:29:51,682
and you're pulling from my playbook.
681
00:29:52,975 --> 00:29:56,061
You're not going to heed
my warning, are you?
682
00:29:56,103 --> 00:29:58,313
You wouldn't risk your career like this.
683
00:29:58,355 --> 00:30:00,315
So you're here at his behest.
684
00:30:00,357 --> 00:30:02,317
And we don't do behest anymore.
685
00:30:04,319 --> 00:30:08,448
What does he think he means,
they don't "do behest?"
686
00:30:08,490 --> 00:30:10,075
It doesn't matter.
687
00:30:10,117 --> 00:30:12,452
Dollar Bill and Mafee are
on a blind profit run,
688
00:30:12,494 --> 00:30:15,247
and they're not going
to protect themselves.
689
00:30:15,289 --> 00:30:16,915
Is there anything else we can do?
690
00:30:16,957 --> 00:30:19,168
Prince's plan is smart, thoughtful,
691
00:30:19,209 --> 00:30:20,460
and benefits a lot of people.
692
00:30:20,502 --> 00:30:21,962
Especially people at this company,
693
00:30:22,004 --> 00:30:24,631
especially people at this desk. So, no.
694
00:30:24,673 --> 00:30:27,009
If I thought we could
save Dollar Bill and Mafee
695
00:30:27,050 --> 00:30:28,869
from themselves long-term, I'd do it.
696
00:30:28,938 --> 00:30:31,180
I care for them, Mafee especially.
697
00:30:31,221 --> 00:30:33,932
But, like I told Ben,
they are who they are.
698
00:30:35,058 --> 00:30:36,935
And, I guess, so are we.
699
00:30:44,693 --> 00:30:46,195
It is my pleasure to announce that
700
00:30:46,236 --> 00:30:47,863
I will be spearheading
the High Plains Management
701
00:30:47,905 --> 00:30:51,700
real estate SPAC
rolling out as we speak.
702
00:30:51,742 --> 00:30:54,912
Consider it a Krak-SPAC, if you will.
703
00:30:54,953 --> 00:30:56,705
Once funded, the company
will purchase properties
704
00:30:56,747 --> 00:30:58,332
along the East River in Manhattan
705
00:30:58,373 --> 00:31:00,626
earmarked for redevelopment,
706
00:31:00,667 --> 00:31:02,377
bringing new life to the community
707
00:31:02,419 --> 00:31:04,213
by building an all-weather stadium,
708
00:31:04,254 --> 00:31:06,632
seating capacity for 85,000
709
00:31:06,673 --> 00:31:08,550
and a retractable roof.
710
00:31:10,177 --> 00:31:13,180
Zoning laws were created
for this very reason,
711
00:31:13,222 --> 00:31:14,806
to protect tenant rights
712
00:31:14,848 --> 00:31:16,808
and small business owners.
713
00:31:16,850 --> 00:31:18,810
These are the people
who put me in office.
714
00:31:18,852 --> 00:31:22,147
And I will not let the
Todd Krakows of the world
715
00:31:22,189 --> 00:31:24,024
bulldoze their livelihoods
716
00:31:24,066 --> 00:31:26,401
with plans to build a nonessential
717
00:31:26,443 --> 00:31:28,195
new stadium in Manhattan.
718
00:31:28,237 --> 00:31:30,572
I won't fast-track it.
719
00:31:30,614 --> 00:31:32,199
I won't even allow zoning for it
720
00:31:32,241 --> 00:31:33,742
without it first going through extensive
721
00:31:33,784 --> 00:31:36,536
community, committee
722
00:31:36,578 --> 00:31:38,205
and environmental reviews.
723
00:31:38,247 --> 00:31:40,082
And I mean extensive.
724
00:31:40,123 --> 00:31:41,708
I'm talking years.
725
00:31:41,750 --> 00:31:43,377
Boom.
726
00:31:43,418 --> 00:31:45,379
She dropped the payload.
727
00:31:45,420 --> 00:31:47,005
Time to raid the villages.
728
00:31:50,133 --> 00:31:52,886
Thank you. We'll get you those
architectural plans tout suite.
729
00:31:52,928 --> 00:31:54,763
- Ciao.
- Great, thanks.
730
00:32:05,899 --> 00:32:07,609
Oh fuck!
731
00:32:10,237 --> 00:32:11,530
Fuck!
732
00:32:11,571 --> 00:32:13,949
That Krakow SPAC IPO?
733
00:32:13,991 --> 00:32:16,576
You should know,
it's not as rosy as you thought.
734
00:32:16,618 --> 00:32:18,370
The rezoning's just the beginning.
735
00:32:18,412 --> 00:32:21,748
Krakow is getting machinegunned
like Elias in Platoon.
736
00:32:21,790 --> 00:32:24,543
- Thing's taking a dirt nap.
- MPC has cleared a lane
737
00:32:24,584 --> 00:32:26,253
for a stadium deal of our own.
738
00:32:26,295 --> 00:32:28,630
We've got green lights all
the way to breaking ground.
739
00:32:28,672 --> 00:32:31,258
But I'm your transport out of the 'Nam.
740
00:32:31,300 --> 00:32:32,801
I'm glad to hear that.
741
00:32:32,843 --> 00:32:35,053
You're smart to stay away from Krakow.
742
00:32:39,141 --> 00:32:40,851
Dude, you're not going
through your list.
743
00:32:42,144 --> 00:32:43,437
I will.
744
00:32:43,478 --> 00:32:44,813
Just give me sec.
745
00:32:56,700 --> 00:32:58,702
We found out Colin's a rabid footballer.
746
00:32:58,744 --> 00:33:00,787
- How rabid?
- Keeper at his club rabid.
747
00:33:00,829 --> 00:33:02,873
Three trips across the
globe to see matches
748
00:33:02,914 --> 00:33:04,583
during the pandemic rabid.
749
00:33:04,624 --> 00:33:06,585
So he likes football, as do millions.
750
00:33:06,626 --> 00:33:07,686
We looked deeper.
751
00:33:07,727 --> 00:33:09,004
There's an opening.
752
00:33:20,349 --> 00:33:22,100
The IPO busted before it
even opened for trading.
753
00:33:22,142 --> 00:33:23,643
I saw the Exchange halt it
754
00:33:23,685 --> 00:33:25,270
shortly after the mayor's statement.
755
00:33:25,312 --> 00:33:27,606
No money raised.
Krakow can't back his bids.
756
00:33:27,647 --> 00:33:30,067
And Dollar Bill and Mafee can't
collect any sponsorship fees.
757
00:33:34,196 --> 00:33:36,114
Look, I didn't go into this
to do damage,
758
00:33:36,156 --> 00:33:37,991
but from my vantage,
759
00:33:38,033 --> 00:33:40,035
we're destabilizing a bad actor,
760
00:33:40,077 --> 00:33:42,204
saving the Games from the
corruption and exclusion
761
00:33:42,245 --> 00:33:45,540
that follow men like Krakow,
who only see a payday in this.
762
00:33:45,582 --> 00:33:47,334
But the land,
763
00:33:47,376 --> 00:33:49,044
that's still worth something to me.
764
00:33:49,086 --> 00:33:51,004
I thought we were
building in Westchester.
765
00:33:51,046 --> 00:33:53,173
Crown jewel was always the
waterfront in Manhattan.
766
00:33:53,215 --> 00:33:54,841
We're just gonna build
there the right way.
767
00:33:54,883 --> 00:33:56,551
Oh, this is Spanish Prisoner.
768
00:33:56,593 --> 00:33:57,636
We're not at the blowoff yet.
769
00:33:57,677 --> 00:33:58,762
There's another act coming.
770
00:33:58,804 --> 00:34:01,056
You'll see soon enough.
771
00:34:09,812 --> 00:34:12,651
I hope you've had some time
to consider my original offer,
772
00:34:12,692 --> 00:34:15,737
though I'd say you've waived
the chance to negotiate.
773
00:34:15,779 --> 00:34:17,489
I somehow thought you were different.
774
00:34:17,531 --> 00:34:18,657
But your approach reminds me a lot
775
00:34:18,698 --> 00:34:20,325
of the man whose office you took.
776
00:34:20,367 --> 00:34:22,536
It's possible you bring
out a similar reaction
777
00:34:22,577 --> 00:34:24,204
in wildly disparate individuals.
778
00:34:24,246 --> 00:34:26,206
I'll think it over
when I drink your blood
779
00:34:26,248 --> 00:34:27,833
after decapitating you.
780
00:34:27,874 --> 00:34:29,876
Accepting loss is hard for
those who lack humility.
781
00:34:29,918 --> 00:34:32,045
But here's a reality check.
782
00:34:32,087 --> 00:34:34,005
You have deals with the City on land,
783
00:34:34,047 --> 00:34:35,674
but your SPAC is liquidated
784
00:34:35,715 --> 00:34:37,175
and you don't have the capital to close.
785
00:34:38,036 --> 00:34:40,262
My investors dumped me like Winthorpe
786
00:34:40,303 --> 00:34:42,347
and Billy Ray Valentine
in the orange juice pit.
787
00:34:42,389 --> 00:34:44,599
That's the problem with
other people's money.
788
00:34:44,641 --> 00:34:46,726
They can take it away from you.
789
00:34:46,768 --> 00:34:48,937
So, you'll either go into your pocket...
790
00:34:48,979 --> 00:34:51,273
For a billion dollars of
New York fucking real estate
791
00:34:51,314 --> 00:34:53,608
that you got the mayor to
oppose zoning changes on?!
792
00:34:53,650 --> 00:34:55,277
Don't think so.
793
00:34:55,318 --> 00:34:56,736
I like being rich.
794
00:34:56,778 --> 00:34:57,988
Not gonna end up like Trump.
795
00:34:58,029 --> 00:34:59,573
Or you'll...
796
00:34:59,614 --> 00:35:02,200
Partner with you.
797
00:35:02,242 --> 00:35:04,077
Fine.
798
00:35:04,119 --> 00:35:06,663
Forget drinking your blood,
I'll stand with you instead.
799
00:35:06,705 --> 00:35:08,874
I'll assign the deeds to you,
800
00:35:08,915 --> 00:35:10,750
you and your investors pay.
801
00:35:10,792 --> 00:35:12,544
And I'll be starting QB.
802
00:35:12,586 --> 00:35:15,338
That's fine. It's fine.
803
00:35:15,380 --> 00:35:18,216
Just know we'll be spitting
in Chuck Rhoades's eye.
804
00:35:18,258 --> 00:35:20,093
Hey, don't worry.
805
00:35:20,135 --> 00:35:21,136
I'll handle him.
806
00:35:39,112 --> 00:35:41,323
I can't fucking believe it.
Here you are.
807
00:35:41,364 --> 00:35:43,617
I thought, "There's no way
Taylor would think our dinner's
808
00:35:43,658 --> 00:35:46,119
still on after their firm
destroyed my goddamn company."
809
00:35:46,161 --> 00:35:47,329
But here you are.
810
00:35:47,370 --> 00:35:48,914
It's unfortunate the way the IPO went,
811
00:35:48,955 --> 00:35:50,332
that the SPAC is zeroed out.
812
00:35:50,373 --> 00:35:52,000
I understand you were
warned not to launch it.
813
00:35:52,042 --> 00:35:54,294
One is business, the other personal.
I don't see the linkage.
814
00:35:54,336 --> 00:35:57,422
You thought you could just
sit across from me, enjoying those
815
00:35:57,464 --> 00:35:59,883
bok choy pot stickers,
while my life is falling apart,
816
00:35:59,925 --> 00:36:02,636
because of you and the
company you help run?
817
00:36:02,677 --> 00:36:05,388
I knew you were a fucking cyborg.
818
00:36:05,430 --> 00:36:07,265
And I thought about
letting you sit there
819
00:36:07,307 --> 00:36:09,059
and put the pieces together on your own.
820
00:36:09,100 --> 00:36:11,061
But I had to see for
myself just how devoid
821
00:36:11,102 --> 00:36:13,230
of all human understanding you are.
822
00:36:13,271 --> 00:36:15,023
I...
823
00:36:37,712 --> 00:36:39,297
Spain's coming hard.
824
00:36:39,339 --> 00:36:41,174
They somehow convinced
Real Madrid's manager
825
00:36:41,216 --> 00:36:42,842
to give Drache soccer lessons,
826
00:36:42,884 --> 00:36:44,469
all to win him over
to the Madrid effort.
827
00:36:44,511 --> 00:36:46,513
Meaning they figured
out what matters to him.
828
00:36:46,555 --> 00:36:49,057
Wasn't hard.
Guy raises millions for ALS.
829
00:36:49,099 --> 00:36:51,810
So we back up the Brinks truck,
830
00:36:51,851 --> 00:36:53,520
help cure a disease,
831
00:36:53,562 --> 00:36:55,021
and the guy becomes a hero.
832
00:36:55,063 --> 00:36:57,732
And Colin never walks
onto Madrid's pitch.
833
00:37:00,235 --> 00:37:02,988
I'm have a sudden craving for croquetas.
834
00:37:03,029 --> 00:37:04,281
Want to put in an order?
835
00:37:04,322 --> 00:37:05,949
Sure. Pull up a menu.
836
00:37:05,991 --> 00:37:08,868
Alexa, play my faves playlist.
837
00:37:08,910 --> 00:37:12,289
Playlist faves on Amazon music.
838
00:37:25,385 --> 00:37:27,387
You put this song on your playlist?
839
00:37:27,429 --> 00:37:29,472
Don't tell me you have a
problem with Harry Chapin.
840
00:37:29,514 --> 00:37:32,559
No, I just didn't realize
you had any taste.
841
00:37:32,601 --> 00:37:33,685
Oh...
842
00:37:33,727 --> 00:37:34,861
Thanks.
843
00:37:34,903 --> 00:37:36,021
I think.
844
00:37:36,062 --> 00:37:38,398
? While I was away ?
845
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,276
? And he was talking 'fore I knew it,
and as he grew... ?
846
00:37:41,318 --> 00:37:42,694
This song.
847
00:37:43,783 --> 00:37:45,780
It used to hit me as the son.
848
00:37:47,115 --> 00:37:48,950
Now it hits me as the father.
849
00:37:48,992 --> 00:37:50,577
? And the cat's in the cradle... ?
850
00:37:50,619 --> 00:37:51,828
You?
851
00:37:54,456 --> 00:37:55,832
Yeah.
852
00:37:56,791 --> 00:37:58,001
Both.
853
00:37:58,043 --> 00:38:01,296
? But we'll get together then ?
854
00:38:01,338 --> 00:38:04,716
? You know we'll have a good time then ?
855
00:38:21,066 --> 00:38:22,442
I said I was fine with what we did,
856
00:38:22,484 --> 00:38:24,361
but maybe I didn't see it through.
857
00:38:24,402 --> 00:38:26,863
The associated loss, in human terms.
858
00:38:26,905 --> 00:38:28,907
I didn't see all the possible outcomes.
859
00:38:28,948 --> 00:38:30,450
After Mafee left the firm,
860
00:38:30,492 --> 00:38:32,702
I always thought of us
as Bird and Magic.
861
00:38:32,744 --> 00:38:34,037
Kill each other on the court,
862
00:38:34,079 --> 00:38:35,497
but best friends in the off-season.
863
00:38:36,956 --> 00:38:39,918
We were never trained to be worried
about unintended consequences.
864
00:38:39,959 --> 00:38:41,961
The win was all that mattered,
865
00:38:42,003 --> 00:38:44,339
and our success only
reinforced that idea.
866
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:47,676
I say "we were trained," but in truth,
867
00:38:47,717 --> 00:38:49,427
I did most of that training,
868
00:38:49,469 --> 00:38:53,181
which is why I guess my
attempt to undo it was clumsy.
869
00:38:53,223 --> 00:38:56,267
The blame isn't just,
or even mostly, on you.
870
00:38:56,309 --> 00:38:58,228
I keep getting sucked
back into the short game,
871
00:38:58,269 --> 00:39:00,355
and I promised myself I
wouldn't do that anymore.
872
00:39:00,397 --> 00:39:03,191
To be fair, your short game
is everyone else's long game.
873
00:39:03,233 --> 00:39:05,443
That only makes it more disappointing.
874
00:39:07,821 --> 00:39:09,364
So then what actions are you...
875
00:39:10,490 --> 00:39:13,368
are we going to take to rectify it?
876
00:39:25,815 --> 00:39:28,466
- Here we are again.
- The game has changed.
877
00:39:28,508 --> 00:39:30,510
We need to put the stadium
in Manhattan after all.
878
00:39:30,552 --> 00:39:33,346
- Built at no cost to the city.
- What about the congestion?
879
00:39:33,388 --> 00:39:35,765
Affordable housing?
Impact on the environment?
880
00:39:35,807 --> 00:39:37,668
None of that will be a problem
the way he's going to do it.
881
00:39:37,693 --> 00:39:40,270
Sustainable. Repurposable. Cutting edge.
882
00:39:40,311 --> 00:39:42,480
And how am I not gonna
look like a flip-flopper?
883
00:39:42,522 --> 00:39:44,566
You're gonna look like
a brilliant negotiator.
884
00:39:44,607 --> 00:39:46,401
You have leveraged the
real estate community
885
00:39:46,443 --> 00:39:48,862
to band together to
build low-income housing
886
00:39:48,903 --> 00:39:50,655
unlike the City has seen before.
887
00:39:50,697 --> 00:39:53,158
- State-of-the-art.
- Because first it's gonna be...
888
00:39:53,199 --> 00:39:54,659
Yes. Athletes' quarters.
889
00:39:54,701 --> 00:39:56,703
Built at the lowest
possible cost to the city,
890
00:39:56,745 --> 00:39:58,204
by one of our great builders.
891
00:39:58,246 --> 00:40:01,499
You mean if you win,
Chuck Rhoades suffers?
892
00:40:01,541 --> 00:40:03,918
Humiliations galore.
893
00:40:05,128 --> 00:40:06,838
- Bud Lazzara's on board?
- Not only that,
894
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,257
we have the site
and surrounding property,
895
00:40:09,299 --> 00:40:11,092
and a healthy war chest
to close on it with.
896
00:40:11,134 --> 00:40:14,262
Most importantly,
you have my word and a witness.
897
00:40:19,340 --> 00:40:21,352
Then let the Games begin.
898
00:40:29,444 --> 00:40:31,279
Might want to watch your step.
899
00:40:31,321 --> 00:40:33,782
There's blood all over the floor.
900
00:40:33,823 --> 00:40:35,784
Guess it wasn't good
enough you killed our IPO.
901
00:40:35,825 --> 00:40:38,411
You just had to do a
stiff fucking pile driver
902
00:40:38,453 --> 00:40:40,246
without protecting our necks.
903
00:40:40,288 --> 00:40:43,917
Oh, no, I've got you tucked
safely between my thighs.
904
00:40:43,958 --> 00:40:45,585
Kayfabe all the way.
905
00:40:45,627 --> 00:40:47,587
- I've spoken to Prince.
- And what?
906
00:40:47,629 --> 00:40:50,006
He wants to offer us our old jobs back?
907
00:40:50,048 --> 00:40:51,841
I'm not walking backwards.
908
00:40:51,883 --> 00:40:53,009
Neither is Mafee.
909
00:40:53,051 --> 00:40:54,511
Well, I'd consider it,
910
00:40:54,552 --> 00:40:56,304
but no.
911
00:40:56,346 --> 00:40:58,306
We know the SPAC was going
to be your opportunity.
912
00:40:58,348 --> 00:41:00,975
Prince asked Spartan-Ives
to fund you instead.
913
00:41:01,017 --> 00:41:03,561
Spartan will write the check,
as a make-good to Prince.
914
00:41:03,603 --> 00:41:05,730
Meaning?
915
00:41:05,772 --> 00:41:07,315
They saved our asses.
916
00:41:07,357 --> 00:41:10,068
At what price? We got to show fealty?
917
00:41:10,109 --> 00:41:11,986
Pledge our firstborn sons? What?
918
00:41:12,028 --> 00:41:14,948
How about you take this as an
object lesson, free of charge.
919
00:41:14,989 --> 00:41:16,825
You're not giant-killers.
920
00:41:16,866 --> 00:41:18,117
Don't go swinging your swords
921
00:41:18,159 --> 00:41:19,744
into a battles you've already lost.
922
00:41:19,786 --> 00:41:22,121
I lobbied for this too,
to square things with us.
923
00:41:22,163 --> 00:41:24,624
Suddenly had a conscience
program installed?
924
00:41:24,666 --> 00:41:26,501
- Did you go to Wendy for that?
- I did seek her counsel,
925
00:41:26,543 --> 00:41:28,503
to remind me what I value most.
926
00:41:28,545 --> 00:41:29,963
So, what, Taylor? A friendship
927
00:41:30,004 --> 00:41:31,840
where I'm watching every word I say
928
00:41:31,881 --> 00:41:33,675
for fear you're going to
gouge me in the eye later?
929
00:41:33,716 --> 00:41:35,802
I won't offer you
any empty platitudes, Mafee.
930
00:41:35,844 --> 00:41:37,804
But I would like a chance
to talk this through,
931
00:41:37,846 --> 00:41:39,180
repair our trust.
932
00:41:39,222 --> 00:41:41,266
Are we back on for our regular dinners?
933
00:41:43,393 --> 00:41:44,519
We are.
934
00:41:47,260 --> 00:41:49,315
Did you hear that, Ben Kim?
935
00:41:49,357 --> 00:41:50,859
My god, that was brutal.
936
00:41:50,900 --> 00:41:52,986
But thank you.
937
00:41:53,027 --> 00:41:54,445
Thank you!
938
00:41:55,864 --> 00:41:57,198
Oh, thank Christ.
939
00:41:57,240 --> 00:41:58,700
We didn't blow up!
940
00:41:59,375 --> 00:42:02,203
Mortimer, we're back!
941
00:42:13,715 --> 00:42:15,466
So, this happened.
942
00:42:15,508 --> 00:42:17,635
And Mayor Tess is about to
give another press conference
943
00:42:17,677 --> 00:42:19,304
reversing field.
944
00:42:19,345 --> 00:42:20,680
Prince got to Krakow?
945
00:42:20,722 --> 00:42:21,890
And the mayor.
946
00:42:21,931 --> 00:42:23,725
Prince got Krakow's stadium?!
947
00:42:27,353 --> 00:42:29,147
The way I see it, you dangled our land
948
00:42:29,188 --> 00:42:30,499
to get a preferred outcome, and now,
949
00:42:30,537 --> 00:42:33,026
instead of a good initiative
against one bad pony,
950
00:42:33,067 --> 00:42:35,069
we've lost it to a pair of 'em.
951
00:42:36,220 --> 00:42:37,864
No, wait.
952
00:42:37,906 --> 00:42:40,700
Wait. In a way, this actually helps us.
953
00:42:40,742 --> 00:42:44,203
- I'm not seeing it.
- This proves my point, doesn't it?
954
00:42:44,245 --> 00:42:46,473
Billionaires plot in secret
to take everything for themselves.
955
00:42:46,554 --> 00:42:49,250
And the laws protect
their rights to do so.
956
00:42:49,292 --> 00:42:50,877
Prince may have the land,
957
00:42:50,919 --> 00:42:52,378
but he doesn't have the
people that live on it.
958
00:42:52,420 --> 00:42:53,922
Is he going to start buying people now?
959
00:42:53,963 --> 00:42:55,256
Bet he would if he could.
960
00:42:55,298 --> 00:42:57,550
- We can't let him.
- Uh-oh.
961
00:42:57,592 --> 00:42:59,135
Are we about to see the
return of Farmer Chuck?
962
00:42:59,177 --> 00:43:00,970
What'd Bruce say?
963
00:43:01,012 --> 00:43:02,347
"Wherever there's a fight
964
00:43:02,388 --> 00:43:04,057
"against the blood
and hatred in the air,
965
00:43:04,098 --> 00:43:07,018
look for me, Mom, I'll be there."
966
00:43:07,060 --> 00:43:09,187
I promise I will think of something
967
00:43:09,228 --> 00:43:11,022
to make it clear that
we are the stewards
968
00:43:11,064 --> 00:43:12,899
of the best interests of
the people of New York,
969
00:43:12,941 --> 00:43:14,567
and not Prince or Krakow.
970
00:43:14,609 --> 00:43:16,277
How?
971
00:43:20,281 --> 00:43:22,116
I need to take a little walk.
972
00:43:22,158 --> 00:43:23,785
That's how.
973
00:43:35,338 --> 00:43:36,798
You ready for the Colin meeting?
974
00:43:36,839 --> 00:43:40,176
- Yep. Your office?
- Our office.
975
00:43:51,312 --> 00:43:52,939
I saw what you were
doing with the selfless
976
00:43:52,981 --> 00:43:54,941
"donate the office" play. Very elevated.
977
00:43:54,983 --> 00:43:56,484
Bonding up with the guys.
978
00:43:56,526 --> 00:43:58,611
Reifying your status as
their sergeant on the ground.
979
00:43:58,653 --> 00:43:59,737
Can't let you get away with it.
980
00:43:59,779 --> 00:44:02,031
- No?
- Uh-uh.
981
00:44:02,073 --> 00:44:03,116
So you actually wanna...?
982
00:44:03,157 --> 00:44:05,159
That's right. We share.
983
00:44:09,747 --> 00:44:11,791
Seems our good friend
Mr. Drache is back.
984
00:44:11,833 --> 00:44:14,836
Colin, please,
as we'll be all working together.
985
00:44:14,877 --> 00:44:17,922
So, Todd Krakow no longer
has need of your services?
986
00:44:17,964 --> 00:44:19,924
Alas, no. Nor Spain.
987
00:44:19,966 --> 00:44:23,261
They seem to be the type that
reneges on their prior promises.
988
00:44:23,302 --> 00:44:24,679
While you seem like the soccer type.
989
00:44:24,721 --> 00:44:26,431
We're pretty tight with David Beckham.
990
00:44:26,472 --> 00:44:27,974
Maybe there'll be an opportunity for him
991
00:44:28,016 --> 00:44:29,308
to be on the pitch with you
992
00:44:29,350 --> 00:44:31,352
when he comes to town for the Games.
993
00:44:31,394 --> 00:44:33,312
Don't worry, you're home now.
994
00:44:33,354 --> 00:44:35,273
I certainly see that.
995
00:44:35,314 --> 00:44:36,607
I'll let you fellas get started.
996
00:44:36,649 --> 00:44:38,192
I have a press conference to attend.
997
00:44:41,487 --> 00:44:43,823
There's no better time
to welcome the world
998
00:44:43,865 --> 00:44:45,491
back to New York City.
999
00:44:45,533 --> 00:44:47,535
I want to introduce
the man with the vision
1000
00:44:47,577 --> 00:44:49,996
and personal investment as our partner,
1001
00:44:50,038 --> 00:44:53,708
the chairman of the NYC
2028 Olympic Commission,
1002
00:44:53,750 --> 00:44:55,001
Michael Prince.
1003
00:44:58,629 --> 00:45:00,506
Thank you, Mayor Johnson.
1004
00:45:00,548 --> 00:45:03,092
We both share the same vision
1005
00:45:03,134 --> 00:45:05,762
of what a Summer Games in
New York should look like...
1006
00:45:07,013 --> 00:45:08,598
...an event for everyone.
1007
00:45:08,639 --> 00:45:11,184
A chance to showcase and rebuild
1008
00:45:11,225 --> 00:45:13,019
in all five boroughs.
1009
00:45:13,061 --> 00:45:15,521
But I don't think the taxpayer...
1010
00:45:15,563 --> 00:45:16,898
...should shoulder the burden
1011
00:45:16,939 --> 00:45:18,024
of the costs.
1012
00:45:20,401 --> 00:45:22,070
My approach incentivizes...
1013
00:45:23,529 --> 00:45:25,656
...the private sector to join me...
1014
00:45:25,698 --> 00:45:27,408
Get out of the fuckin' street!
1015
00:45:27,450 --> 00:45:29,952
Move the fuckin' car, bro!
1016
00:45:34,916 --> 00:45:36,250
Get out of the way!
1017
00:45:40,588 --> 00:45:41,923
All right, back it up.
1018
00:45:49,597 --> 00:45:51,933
Oh, I think we've got their attention.
1019
00:45:54,432 --> 00:45:57,438
So they want to revitalize the City?
1020
00:45:57,480 --> 00:45:59,148
These plutocrats?
1021
00:46:00,015 --> 00:46:02,568
Have they thought about
the unintended consequences
1022
00:46:02,610 --> 00:46:04,153
to the average citizen?
1023
00:46:04,195 --> 00:46:07,323
Do they think about the
average citizen at all?
1024
00:46:07,365 --> 00:46:10,409
I am not in this for the
goddamned Bronx Cheer.
1025
00:46:10,451 --> 00:46:13,079
Nobody told me about
the "fuck you" parade.
1026
00:46:13,965 --> 00:46:16,916
This is the traffic
for a press conference.
1027
00:46:16,958 --> 00:46:20,920
What will New York look like
when the traffic quintuples?
1028
00:46:26,634 --> 00:46:29,470
A cabal of billionaires
remaking the city.
1029
00:46:29,512 --> 00:46:32,807
What the hell do they know
about the real New York?
1030
00:46:33,929 --> 00:46:35,977
How many people will be displaced
1031
00:46:36,018 --> 00:46:37,895
so they can build an Olympic stadium?
1032
00:46:37,937 --> 00:46:39,605
Yeah.
1033
00:46:39,647 --> 00:46:42,066
Have they at all considered
what real New Yorkers
1034
00:46:42,108 --> 00:46:43,651
want for our city?
1035
00:46:43,693 --> 00:46:47,905
Maybe we should remind them who we are.
1036
00:46:47,947 --> 00:46:49,532
Yeah?
1037
00:46:54,328 --> 00:46:56,330
What do we do when the carpetbaggers
1038
00:46:56,372 --> 00:46:59,208
and the land barons try to
shove us out of the way?
1039
00:46:59,250 --> 00:47:01,544
- We shove back!
- Yeah!
1040
00:47:01,586 --> 00:47:05,798
- We shove back!
- Yeah!
1041
00:47:08,843 --> 00:47:10,011
That's right.
1042
00:47:11,429 --> 00:47:13,598
And together, the people,
1043
00:47:13,639 --> 00:47:15,641
and those who represent the people,
1044
00:47:15,683 --> 00:47:18,936
we will take back our city!
1045
00:47:18,978 --> 00:47:21,397
Take back our city!
1046
00:47:21,439 --> 00:47:24,317
- Take back our city!
- Take back our city!
1047
00:47:24,358 --> 00:47:27,069
Take back our city!
1048
00:47:27,111 --> 00:47:31,616
Take back our city!
1049
00:47:31,657 --> 00:47:35,995
- Take back our city!
- Take back our city!
1050
00:47:36,037 --> 00:47:38,122
Take back our city!
1051
00:47:38,164 --> 00:47:42,126
- Take back our city!
- Take back our city!
1052
00:47:42,168 --> 00:47:44,629
Take back our city!
1053
