1
00:00:01,876 --> 00:00:03,837
[Scooter]
Previously on Billions.
2
00:00:03,878 --> 00:00:06,297
Michael Prince Capital
is not off to a banner start.
3
00:00:06,339 --> 00:00:07,549
I work for a legend.
4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:10,468
-I'm out.
-Team up?
5
00:00:10,510 --> 00:00:11,636
Done.
6
00:00:11,678 --> 00:00:13,805
We need to be clean.
Beyond reproach.
7
00:00:13,847 --> 00:00:16,933
I find myself
unwilling to help you.
8
00:00:16,975 --> 00:00:18,643
He seems to be after
more than profits here.
9
00:00:18,685 --> 00:00:20,854
I am hereby creating
The Prince List,
10
00:00:20,895 --> 00:00:23,523
shedding all the dirty capital
currently invested.
11
00:00:23,565 --> 00:00:25,025
Bud Lazzara. He's the key.
12
00:00:25,066 --> 00:00:26,484
We're not paying.
13
00:00:26,526 --> 00:00:27,986
Big retailer's
been playing dirty.
14
00:00:28,028 --> 00:00:29,487
Rask Sportswear.
15
00:00:29,529 --> 00:00:31,197
And we're gonna short
the snot out of it.
16
00:00:31,239 --> 00:00:32,490
There's a problem
with the short.
17
00:00:32,532 --> 00:00:33,867
You created this problem,
fix it.
18
00:00:33,908 --> 00:00:35,702
His wife came by yesterday.
19
00:00:35,744 --> 00:00:37,537
It's no coincidence that you
got involved with my sponsor.
20
00:00:37,579 --> 00:00:39,539
Are you trying to buy back
the relationship you want?
21
00:00:39,581 --> 00:00:41,041
I haven't given up.
22
00:00:41,082 --> 00:00:42,500
I know you bribed Mr. Santulli,
23
00:00:42,542 --> 00:00:44,836
the head of the
Door & Custodial Union.
24
00:00:44,878 --> 00:00:46,212
[Prince] Rask is tanking.
25
00:00:46,254 --> 00:00:48,006
[Scooter] Killed the buyout
and fed it to the dogs.
26
00:00:48,048 --> 00:00:49,340
[Taylor] You saw the news
about the Games?
27
00:00:49,382 --> 00:00:50,717
[Scooter]
They're pulling them.
28
00:00:50,759 --> 00:00:52,052
Prince isn't just
playing the markets.
29
00:00:52,093 --> 00:00:53,219
His chessboard is much bigger,
30
00:00:53,261 --> 00:00:54,220
and I don't think he's done
31
00:00:54,262 --> 00:00:55,555
making his moves yet.
32
00:00:55,597 --> 00:00:57,640
The very first
New York Olympics.
33
00:00:57,682 --> 00:00:59,225
Every time New York has fallen--
34
00:00:59,267 --> 00:01:01,227
It has been lifted up
and rebuilt
35
00:01:01,269 --> 00:01:02,479
by a great man.
36
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:03,980
And that's you this time.
37
00:01:04,022 --> 00:01:06,274
And he won't stop
till he gets what he wants.
38
00:01:24,876 --> 00:01:27,295
["Midnight Rider"
by Gregg Allman plays]
39
00:01:29,589 --> 00:01:32,092
Well, I've got to run
40
00:01:32,133 --> 00:01:34,928
To keep from hidin'
41
00:01:34,969 --> 00:01:38,598
And I'm bound...
42
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,267
I just achieved slow-wave sleep,
43
00:01:41,309 --> 00:01:43,269
which you know
I struggle with.
44
00:01:43,311 --> 00:01:46,231
-Why am I--
-We've got a problem.
45
00:01:46,272 --> 00:01:48,108
Better be a real, bigtime--
46
00:01:48,149 --> 00:01:50,068
Trust me. It is.
It's why I called you in.
47
00:01:50,110 --> 00:01:51,402
The issue is--
48
00:01:51,444 --> 00:01:52,445
[Prince]
You didn't call me in.
49
00:01:52,487 --> 00:01:53,780
Of course, there's no need.
50
00:01:53,822 --> 00:01:55,573
That's why I have
an alert set up.
51
00:01:55,615 --> 00:01:57,075
If there's
middle-of-the-night swipe-ins,
52
00:01:57,117 --> 00:01:59,369
it's either because
people are quitting en masse
53
00:01:59,410 --> 00:02:00,745
and stealing drives,
54
00:02:00,787 --> 00:02:03,039
or there's
a margin call-level problem.
55
00:02:03,081 --> 00:02:04,374
Which is it?
56
00:02:04,415 --> 00:02:06,543
It's... more of the latter.
57
00:02:06,584 --> 00:02:08,670
Well, you have
a captive audience.
58
00:02:10,130 --> 00:02:11,714
I, uh...
59
00:02:11,756 --> 00:02:14,634
met up with Mafee tonight.
Drinks, you know?
60
00:02:14,676 --> 00:02:15,969
We stayed friends,
I hope that's not any kind--
61
00:02:16,010 --> 00:02:17,387
-Speak.
-Right, well...
62
00:02:17,428 --> 00:02:19,764
he kinda spilled some major tea.
63
00:02:19,806 --> 00:02:21,266
"Tea" is gossip.
64
00:02:21,307 --> 00:02:23,309
Yeah.
About what?
65
00:02:24,185 --> 00:02:26,020
About the Olympics.
66
00:02:28,648 --> 00:02:30,608
We are rolling, Wyatt.
67
00:02:30,650 --> 00:02:32,819
I'm not on Molly right now.
Or ever.
68
00:02:32,861 --> 00:02:35,446
Tombstone?
69
00:02:35,488 --> 00:02:37,782
Never mind. We got something
huge in the works.
70
00:02:37,824 --> 00:02:39,784
Real estate-focused SPAC.
71
00:02:39,826 --> 00:02:41,661
Offering's coming out this week.
You should invest.
72
00:02:41,703 --> 00:02:43,955
-I should?
-It's our ticket, man.
73
00:02:43,997 --> 00:02:46,332
They call these things
"blank check companies."
74
00:02:46,374 --> 00:02:48,168
Whale-sized
investors launch them
75
00:02:48,209 --> 00:02:49,836
to raise IPO-level money
76
00:02:49,878 --> 00:02:51,629
they can plow into
whatever the hell they want to,
77
00:02:51,671 --> 00:02:53,339
totally unbridled.
78
00:02:53,381 --> 00:02:56,134
In this case, holding company
for prime city real estate.
79
00:02:56,176 --> 00:02:57,552
I'm familiar with SPACs.
80
00:02:57,594 --> 00:02:59,637
-They're all over the Street.
-Right.
81
00:02:59,679 --> 00:03:01,931
Anyway, it's a partnership
with a big--
82
00:03:01,973 --> 00:03:06,477
Well, a really big
and also really not-so-big guy.
83
00:03:06,519 --> 00:03:08,646
You sound enthusiastic.
84
00:03:08,688 --> 00:03:10,190
We blew through
our risk management,
85
00:03:10,231 --> 00:03:11,191
doubled down on this thing.
86
00:03:11,232 --> 00:03:12,775
You're a brand-new firm,
87
00:03:12,817 --> 00:03:13,776
and you're risking it all
on sponsoring a SPAC?
88
00:03:13,818 --> 00:03:15,695
No worries. It's an STD.
89
00:03:15,737 --> 00:03:17,655
-Uh, what? Gross.
-A sure thing, dude.
90
00:03:17,697 --> 00:03:19,449
-Oh.
-And beyond that,
91
00:03:19,490 --> 00:03:22,035
it's a gold medal situation.
92
00:03:22,076 --> 00:03:24,704
[Prince] Buying up land
for the Olympics.
93
00:03:24,746 --> 00:03:26,873
Another player's
making my move. Who?
94
00:03:26,915 --> 00:03:29,626
He didn't say.
Thus, this meeting.
95
00:03:29,667 --> 00:03:31,628
Now I get why you woke me up.
96
00:03:31,669 --> 00:03:34,172
All right, if anyone needs
to go home, shower up,
97
00:03:34,214 --> 00:03:37,217
put on your daytime Garanimals,
go ahead and get back here.
98
00:03:37,258 --> 00:03:39,219
[Kristy] I can send one of
the drivers if anyone needs it.
99
00:03:39,260 --> 00:03:41,346
-Do it. Also--
-I'll send the other driver
100
00:03:41,387 --> 00:03:43,181
to Veselka, then Chinatown.
101
00:03:43,223 --> 00:03:47,227
Anyone want anything else,
let me know, we'll deal with it.
102
00:03:47,268 --> 00:03:49,354
Okay, folks, Kristy's
organizing the midnight snacks
103
00:03:49,395 --> 00:03:50,897
and strong coffee.
104
00:03:50,939 --> 00:03:52,565
-[claps hands]
-Let's get into it.
105
00:04:00,406 --> 00:04:02,283
[Chuck] Sacker,
I want your best ideas--
106
00:04:02,325 --> 00:04:03,826
press, political, financial,
107
00:04:03,868 --> 00:04:05,703
hell, I'll even take spiritual--
108
00:04:05,745 --> 00:04:07,622
on how we'll fell the highest
net worth individual--
109
00:04:07,664 --> 00:04:08,998
Son.
110
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,834
I thought there'd
be some perfectly legal
111
00:04:11,876 --> 00:04:14,170
fringe benefits to you being AG,
112
00:04:14,212 --> 00:04:17,340
but I find myself a squirrel
who can't get a nut.
113
00:04:17,382 --> 00:04:18,758
Dad, you can't just--
114
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,927
Oh, I told your girl
I was expected.
115
00:04:20,969 --> 00:04:22,679
And asked could she get me
a tomato juice
116
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,264
from the diner
around the corner.
117
00:04:24,305 --> 00:04:25,682
Told her I'd protect the door.
118
00:04:25,723 --> 00:04:28,101
And I did.
From the inside.
119
00:04:28,142 --> 00:04:29,852
Anyway.
120
00:04:29,894 --> 00:04:31,688
I was getting
my paperwork in order
121
00:04:31,729 --> 00:04:34,357
to make an offer
to buy your land,
122
00:04:34,399 --> 00:04:37,360
and then you let someone
skip in line ahead of me?
123
00:04:37,402 --> 00:04:39,362
-My land?
-The NYAG's Office
124
00:04:39,404 --> 00:04:42,865
monitors the disbursement
of certain land for proper use,
125
00:04:42,907 --> 00:04:44,826
does it not?!
126
00:04:45,827 --> 00:04:47,287
Ah, family.
127
00:04:47,328 --> 00:04:49,080
Love to see it.
128
00:04:49,122 --> 00:04:50,415
Love to leave it behind.
129
00:04:50,456 --> 00:04:52,458
Jesus Christ, Dad.
130
00:04:52,500 --> 00:04:53,960
We can do this
at your house, later.
131
00:04:54,002 --> 00:04:56,170
-Or never. Never works, too.
-Not for me.
132
00:04:56,212 --> 00:04:58,589
I was going to throw up
one of those 80/20 jobs
133
00:04:58,631 --> 00:05:00,174
with the "poor door."
134
00:05:00,216 --> 00:05:01,718
Luxury condo building
135
00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:04,178
with the separate entrance
for the unwashed.
136
00:05:04,220 --> 00:05:07,056
Subsidized housing units
to trigger the tax breaks.
137
00:05:07,098 --> 00:05:08,266
A real man of the people.
138
00:05:08,308 --> 00:05:10,268
But someone is buying it all up.
139
00:05:10,310 --> 00:05:12,228
As is the normal course of--
140
00:05:12,270 --> 00:05:16,024
No, this is about as normal as
a Gaylord Perry Mystery Pitch.
141
00:05:16,065 --> 00:05:19,068
Just loaded up
with viscous slime.
142
00:05:19,110 --> 00:05:20,236
Aha.
143
00:05:20,278 --> 00:05:21,821
Who bought the land, Dad?
144
00:05:21,863 --> 00:05:23,990
[Sacker] Looks like
several buyers. All shell corps.
145
00:05:24,032 --> 00:05:25,908
Terms have been set. They have
30 days to close with the cash.
146
00:05:25,950 --> 00:05:28,411
Anything unusual
with the approvals?
147
00:05:28,453 --> 00:05:32,165
No. Except there hasn't been
much activity until recently.
148
00:05:33,624 --> 00:05:35,335
You don't need
this development, Dad.
149
00:05:35,376 --> 00:05:37,628
And even if you did, I wouldn't
lift a finger to help.
150
00:05:37,670 --> 00:05:38,921
Not 'cause I don't love you.
151
00:05:38,963 --> 00:05:40,340
Because it would be wrong.
152
00:05:40,381 --> 00:05:42,008
In the past, you didn't really--
153
00:05:42,050 --> 00:05:43,885
Ah. I can't change any of that.
154
00:05:45,386 --> 00:05:48,806
Well, I was a straight shooter
about my plans.
155
00:05:48,848 --> 00:05:51,434
Being shameless does not
change a Haman into a Mordechai.
156
00:05:51,476 --> 00:05:53,186
Bye, Dad.
157
00:05:57,106 --> 00:05:59,984
I can't believe
that I'm raising this, but,
158
00:06:00,026 --> 00:06:02,820
we forget who brought us
this information and we use it.
159
00:06:02,862 --> 00:06:03,821
Yeah.
160
00:06:03,863 --> 00:06:05,239
If a big player or corporation
161
00:06:05,281 --> 00:06:06,491
is going through the land bank
162
00:06:06,532 --> 00:06:08,242
to make big purchases
on the downlow.
163
00:06:08,284 --> 00:06:10,995
Yes. That's absolutely against
the spirit of the thing.
164
00:06:11,037 --> 00:06:12,747
And likely means
some other high-baller
165
00:06:12,789 --> 00:06:14,290
is looking to make
the same move as my father.
166
00:06:14,332 --> 00:06:16,250
-You want me to--
-Yeah.
167
00:06:16,292 --> 00:06:18,294
We need to find out who's
trying to buy up all this land,
168
00:06:18,336 --> 00:06:19,545
and why.
169
00:06:50,201 --> 00:06:51,285
We're gathering.
170
00:07:00,169 --> 00:07:02,713
I know how we're going to
smoke out this mystery bidder.
171
00:07:02,755 --> 00:07:06,175
Put a piece of land up for sale.
The piece bordering Stuy Town.
172
00:07:06,217 --> 00:07:08,386
I thought you were
trying to buy more land--
173
00:07:08,428 --> 00:07:11,472
He is. Whoever's backing Mafee
and Dollar Bill will bite at it.
174
00:07:11,514 --> 00:07:13,474
Yes. It'll come anonymously,
through a shell corp.
175
00:07:13,516 --> 00:07:14,976
Which we'll reject.
176
00:07:15,017 --> 00:07:16,352
But we'll get
enough details to figure out
177
00:07:16,394 --> 00:07:18,396
who's spearheading the SPAC.
178
00:07:18,438 --> 00:07:20,356
And once it IPOs,
we can bend this thing over,
179
00:07:20,398 --> 00:07:22,733
no lube required, and...
180
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,156
I mean, there are many things
within SEC guidelines we can do
181
00:07:28,197 --> 00:07:30,741
to express our
negative sentiment on it,
182
00:07:30,783 --> 00:07:32,702
and convince others
to see it the same way,
183
00:07:32,743 --> 00:07:35,705
-once it is trading publicly.
-There ya go.
184
00:07:35,746 --> 00:07:37,415
That's where I thought
you were going.
185
00:07:37,457 --> 00:07:38,958
But this is Mafee and
Dollar Bill's big investment.
186
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,460
Don't we still love--
187
00:07:40,501 --> 00:07:42,044
I mean,
have fond feelings for--
188
00:07:42,086 --> 00:07:44,797
well, most of us--
some of us-- I do...
189
00:07:44,839 --> 00:07:46,090
Spit it out, you stuttering--
190
00:07:46,132 --> 00:07:47,717
Mafee! I still care about Mafee.
191
00:07:47,758 --> 00:07:49,469
[Taylor]
Yes, as I do, Ben.
192
00:07:49,510 --> 00:07:51,262
But once we find out who's
really going to run the SPAC
193
00:07:51,304 --> 00:07:53,139
for them, Prince will
block it, and, yes,
194
00:07:53,181 --> 00:07:55,475
whatever they've invested in it
will be worthless.
195
00:07:55,516 --> 00:07:58,478
And he feels bad about it,
that fucking baby.
196
00:07:58,519 --> 00:08:00,062
How can you not even care?
197
00:08:00,104 --> 00:08:02,857
You were in an intimate
relationship with Dollar--
198
00:08:02,899 --> 00:08:07,028
I am in a relationship
with dollars, end sentence.
199
00:08:07,069 --> 00:08:09,363
Look, I love those guys.
For real.
200
00:08:09,405 --> 00:08:11,240
We've plundered and partied
with 'em back in the day.
201
00:08:11,282 --> 00:08:14,160
But if they fuck with our shit,
they get fucked.
202
00:08:18,414 --> 00:08:20,958
Great to see
the team spirit is intact.
203
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,793
But I'm a builder,
not a destroyer.
204
00:08:22,835 --> 00:08:24,212
I'll always find
a positive solution
205
00:08:24,253 --> 00:08:26,464
before considering
a destructive path.
206
00:08:26,506 --> 00:08:29,383
I look at every competitor
as a potential new partner...
207
00:08:29,425 --> 00:08:31,052
right up until I can't anymore.
208
00:08:31,093 --> 00:08:33,095
I'm on board
with this approach.
209
00:08:33,137 --> 00:08:34,138
We're happy.
210
00:08:34,180 --> 00:08:36,432
-He's on his way up.
-Good.
211
00:08:36,474 --> 00:08:38,142
We have an important visitor,
212
00:08:38,184 --> 00:08:40,353
someone I'm convinced will
help win over the Commission.
213
00:08:40,394 --> 00:08:42,438
Wags, I want you on
this detail with Scooter.
214
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,273
I'll sit in with you fellas.
215
00:08:44,315 --> 00:08:46,192
Try to have fun.
216
00:08:46,234 --> 00:08:47,527
We're a team.
217
00:08:47,568 --> 00:08:49,111
So it seems.
218
00:08:49,153 --> 00:08:51,072
Fab.
219
00:08:52,657 --> 00:08:55,034
You believe in this
potential new partner bit?
220
00:08:55,826 --> 00:08:57,203
I want to.
221
00:08:59,455 --> 00:09:00,915
Sure, the president of
222
00:09:00,957 --> 00:09:02,875
the International Commission
of Sport
223
00:09:02,917 --> 00:09:04,919
does have some sway,
224
00:09:04,961 --> 00:09:07,421
but there are
104 voting members,
225
00:09:07,463 --> 00:09:10,883
enough of whom must be wooed,
226
00:09:10,925 --> 00:09:13,135
convinced, to influence
the others
227
00:09:13,177 --> 00:09:16,931
who aren't susceptible to
extracurricular handling.
228
00:09:16,973 --> 00:09:19,267
Mike, you want to...
229
00:09:19,308 --> 00:09:21,852
And I speak from experience,
selecting a host city
230
00:09:21,894 --> 00:09:24,438
is a very political process.
231
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:25,773
Mr. Drache, how does it work?
232
00:09:25,815 --> 00:09:27,358
I want to make an impression.
233
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:28,943
But as I understand it,
234
00:09:28,985 --> 00:09:30,611
the men and women
of the Commission,
235
00:09:30,653 --> 00:09:32,280
even those key few
I might turn,
236
00:09:32,321 --> 00:09:34,782
don't look kindly
upon strangers bearing gifts.
237
00:09:34,824 --> 00:09:38,828
Because those strangers might be
wearing wires, mightn't they?
238
00:09:38,869 --> 00:09:40,955
But they will take them from me.
239
00:09:40,997 --> 00:09:43,165
Because I was one of them,
240
00:09:43,207 --> 00:09:47,211
before what I refer to as
the "ugliness"
241
00:09:47,253 --> 00:09:48,671
forced me out.
242
00:09:48,713 --> 00:09:51,507
But trust,
I'm still one of them.
243
00:09:51,549 --> 00:09:53,009
[Prince] Good.
244
00:09:53,050 --> 00:09:54,719
I'm glad I can count on
your endorsement
245
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:55,803
of my plan to land the Olympics.
246
00:09:56,637 --> 00:09:58,180
[sighs]
247
00:09:58,222 --> 00:09:59,307
Possibly.
248
00:10:01,142 --> 00:10:02,226
Possibly?
249
00:10:02,268 --> 00:10:04,854
Your reputation speaks.
It shouts.
250
00:10:04,895 --> 00:10:08,316
And you certainly seem
a top man. But...
251
00:10:09,483 --> 00:10:11,110
you're a little late
to this game.
252
00:10:11,152 --> 00:10:12,445
L.A. had things locked.
253
00:10:12,486 --> 00:10:13,821
Until they didn't.
254
00:10:15,239 --> 00:10:17,199
Yeah, until they didn't.
Cheers to you.
255
00:10:17,241 --> 00:10:18,576
He had nothing to do with that.
256
00:10:18,618 --> 00:10:20,745
No. Of course not.
I'd never suggest.
257
00:10:20,786 --> 00:10:21,912
[Wags] You kinda did,
258
00:10:21,954 --> 00:10:23,456
but we'll let it slide.
259
00:10:23,497 --> 00:10:26,792
Look, you can't have
a Games without a stadium.
260
00:10:26,834 --> 00:10:30,421
And New York doesn't have a
stadium suitable for the Games--
261
00:10:30,463 --> 00:10:33,758
modern, able to be turned over
quickly depending on the event.
262
00:10:33,799 --> 00:10:36,761
-But we will. I will.
-Will you?
263
00:10:36,802 --> 00:10:38,638
Well,
then you may have me too.
264
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,473
If it seems the thing to do.
265
00:10:40,514 --> 00:10:42,475
Gentlemen, I get one shot
266
00:10:42,516 --> 00:10:45,436
every two years between
the Summer and the Winter Games,
267
00:10:45,478 --> 00:10:48,439
so I hew to
the Aintree approach:
268
00:10:48,481 --> 00:10:49,815
stick with the favorite.
269
00:10:49,857 --> 00:10:52,068
No time for long shots.
270
00:10:53,069 --> 00:10:54,612
Eh, maybe we'll speak again.
271
00:10:56,364 --> 00:10:57,490
Cheers.
272
00:11:00,326 --> 00:11:01,744
[sighs]
273
00:11:01,786 --> 00:11:03,913
Do we really need that
fucking guy?
274
00:11:03,954 --> 00:11:05,164
Sadly, we do.
275
00:11:05,206 --> 00:11:06,832
He's the best in the space.
276
00:11:06,874 --> 00:11:09,377
A very small, rarified space.
277
00:11:10,795 --> 00:11:12,296
Find out who else
he's talking to.
278
00:11:12,338 --> 00:11:14,173
-And make those talks--
-[Wags] Go south?
279
00:11:14,215 --> 00:11:16,676
So he has nowhere else to go
but crawling back to us?
280
00:11:16,717 --> 00:11:18,928
-More or less.
-I'm on it.
281
00:11:18,969 --> 00:11:21,013
Be on it together.
282
00:11:22,056 --> 00:11:24,183
-Yeah, about that--
-Are you serious?
283
00:11:24,225 --> 00:11:26,811
You want us to be your
Tenspeed and Brown Shoe?
284
00:11:26,852 --> 00:11:30,481
I'd have gone with
Murtaugh and Riggs, but, yes.
285
00:11:30,523 --> 00:11:31,899
I am.
286
00:11:36,696 --> 00:11:38,197
News on the land.
287
00:11:38,239 --> 00:11:41,033
All the entities track back
to the same address.
288
00:11:41,075 --> 00:11:42,535
Who're we talking about?
289
00:11:46,706 --> 00:11:48,040
Oh.
290
00:11:48,082 --> 00:11:51,252
Our Sam LeFrak wannabe
has surfaced.
291
00:11:52,712 --> 00:11:54,296
[sighs]
292
00:11:59,009 --> 00:12:00,511
Welcome, welcome.
293
00:12:00,553 --> 00:12:02,304
Todd Krakow.
294
00:12:02,346 --> 00:12:04,348
I see life in the Beltway
was a real sacrifice for you.
295
00:12:04,390 --> 00:12:06,308
[chuckles]
It was an honor to serve,
296
00:12:06,350 --> 00:12:08,060
but, frankly,
I rather enjoy being
297
00:12:08,102 --> 00:12:09,645
back in the private sector.
298
00:12:09,687 --> 00:12:11,188
I missed not having
to report to anyone.
299
00:12:11,230 --> 00:12:12,982
We're all accountable
to each other
300
00:12:13,023 --> 00:12:15,192
and tethered to
this rock by gravity.
301
00:12:15,234 --> 00:12:17,194
If you take the time
to be in the moment...
302
00:12:17,236 --> 00:12:19,822
right there, you can
even feel the Earth move.
303
00:12:19,864 --> 00:12:21,991
Mmm.
304
00:12:22,032 --> 00:12:23,701
I feel the sky
305
00:12:23,743 --> 00:12:25,369
Tumbling down!
306
00:12:25,411 --> 00:12:27,037
[chuckles]
307
00:12:27,079 --> 00:12:28,664
Goddamn that felt good. Yeah.
308
00:12:28,706 --> 00:12:30,374
Couldn't do that
in a Cabinet meeting.
309
00:12:30,416 --> 00:12:32,209
POTUS could, but that was it.
310
00:12:32,251 --> 00:12:34,712
So, is, uh,
that what brings you here?
311
00:12:34,754 --> 00:12:37,047
Wouldn't be a certain
real estate SPAC
312
00:12:37,089 --> 00:12:38,424
set to IPO soon?
313
00:12:38,466 --> 00:12:40,926
Not that I'm involved,
officially.
314
00:12:40,968 --> 00:12:42,762
No. I want you to think bigger.
315
00:12:42,803 --> 00:12:44,555
"Bigger?" Really?
316
00:12:44,597 --> 00:12:46,056
Join my bid.
317
00:12:46,098 --> 00:12:49,268
We agree on one thing:
New York would be
318
00:12:49,310 --> 00:12:51,437
a superb host
for the next Olympics.
319
00:12:51,479 --> 00:12:53,105
Not only am I a believer,
I also happen to be
320
00:12:53,147 --> 00:12:55,399
a highly capitalized partner
to buy land with,
321
00:12:55,441 --> 00:12:58,027
to make inroads
with the city and state
322
00:12:58,068 --> 00:12:59,528
to help win over the Commission.
323
00:12:59,570 --> 00:13:01,822
The Commission? Hmm.
324
00:13:01,864 --> 00:13:05,451
Only a man with Colin Drache
in his employ can achieve that.
325
00:13:05,493 --> 00:13:07,369
-Do you have him?
-Met today.
326
00:13:07,411 --> 00:13:09,413
Seeing him again tomorrow.
So what do you think?
327
00:13:09,455 --> 00:13:11,207
That's a no. Too many words.
328
00:13:11,248 --> 00:13:14,210
Why fight over possession
of the fumble
329
00:13:14,251 --> 00:13:15,878
when we can both
be on the same team?
330
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,214
I'd love a Mike Prince-type
onboard as a partner,
331
00:13:18,255 --> 00:13:22,134
but, just so you know,
I'm QB'ing this baby.
332
00:13:22,176 --> 00:13:24,428
What are you going for, huh?
333
00:13:24,470 --> 00:13:26,764
Rehab your public image
after that precipitous fall
334
00:13:26,806 --> 00:13:28,224
from Treasury?
335
00:13:28,265 --> 00:13:30,726
Reboot your
Manhattan bona fides?
336
00:13:30,768 --> 00:13:31,894
Get on TV?
337
00:13:31,936 --> 00:13:33,729
-Meet chicks?
-[laughs]
338
00:13:33,771 --> 00:13:36,232
You tell me what it is,
and I'll help build the new you.
339
00:13:36,273 --> 00:13:37,775
No, I don't think
you get it.
340
00:13:37,817 --> 00:13:40,778
Once we IPO and close
on these properties--
341
00:13:40,820 --> 00:13:42,446
and I can see I'm not gonna get
your piece
342
00:13:42,488 --> 00:13:44,323
near Stuy Town,
but I don't need it--
343
00:13:44,365 --> 00:13:46,951
I skip right through the permits
to build a new stadium.
344
00:13:46,992 --> 00:13:48,994
Does your bid have one of those?
Didn't think so.
345
00:13:49,036 --> 00:13:51,789
With it, I land the Games,
346
00:13:51,831 --> 00:13:54,291
and then I can have whatever
I want in this town.
347
00:13:54,333 --> 00:13:56,710
So if you want to be
a part of my bid,
348
00:13:56,752 --> 00:13:58,420
then make me a real offer.
349
00:13:58,462 --> 00:14:00,548
That starts with buying
a major block of shares
350
00:14:00,589 --> 00:14:03,050
when they IPO tomorrow
and I announce.
351
00:14:03,092 --> 00:14:06,470
Otherwise, you may end up having
to wait in line to get tickets
352
00:14:06,512 --> 00:14:08,055
like the Commoners.
353
00:14:08,097 --> 00:14:09,640
Can you imagine?
354
00:14:12,476 --> 00:14:14,854
Usually this is the part
where the guy on the other side
355
00:14:14,895 --> 00:14:16,355
of the desk flexes, huffs, puffs
356
00:14:16,397 --> 00:14:18,732
and makes vague
but serious threats.
357
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:22,736
I don't go to war that way.
358
00:14:24,905 --> 00:14:26,740
I just go to war.
359
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,126
You ready to get going?
360
00:14:37,167 --> 00:14:39,378
Already going.
361
00:14:39,420 --> 00:14:40,963
There's a guy we used
to work with
362
00:14:41,005 --> 00:14:42,381
who can follow Colin around,
363
00:14:42,423 --> 00:14:44,300
do a deep dive
into his data and history,
364
00:14:44,341 --> 00:14:46,510
and find out exactly
what makes him tick.
365
00:14:46,552 --> 00:14:48,846
Let's put a pin in black bag ops
366
00:14:48,888 --> 00:14:51,348
that'll put us right out of
business and maybe into jail.
367
00:14:51,390 --> 00:14:53,559
Unless and until
such time as.
368
00:14:53,601 --> 00:14:54,685
Fine.
369
00:14:54,727 --> 00:14:56,186
Shall we?
370
00:14:56,228 --> 00:14:58,522
-You mean...?
-He said "together."
371
00:14:58,564 --> 00:15:00,357
I'm aware.
372
00:15:00,399 --> 00:15:01,817
Come to where I'm working.
373
00:15:01,859 --> 00:15:03,319
When I'm not riding
shotgun with Prince,
374
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:04,570
it's where I'm set up.
375
00:15:15,998 --> 00:15:17,625
What the hell is this?
376
00:15:17,666 --> 00:15:19,585
You've never seen
a power map?
377
00:15:19,627 --> 00:15:21,086
Naturally. Just...
378
00:15:21,128 --> 00:15:23,255
wondering where the hell
you got this information.
379
00:15:23,297 --> 00:15:24,882
Welcome to the
21st century, Wags.
380
00:15:24,924 --> 00:15:26,508
I will be your guide.
381
00:15:26,550 --> 00:15:28,177
We have Colin Drache's
business associates,
382
00:15:28,218 --> 00:15:30,346
romantic partners,
places he frequents,
383
00:15:30,387 --> 00:15:31,847
cologne of choice--
384
00:15:31,889 --> 00:15:33,599
[Wags] Dior Sauvage!
385
00:15:33,641 --> 00:15:36,018
So that was the stench hovering
around him like Pig-Pen.
386
00:15:36,060 --> 00:15:38,187
We can't trust a man who wears
cologne before 10 a.m.
387
00:15:38,228 --> 00:15:39,897
We have to. By using this,
388
00:15:39,939 --> 00:15:41,732
we'll determine
his spheres of influence,
389
00:15:41,774 --> 00:15:43,525
figure out what he wants,
390
00:15:43,567 --> 00:15:45,402
and then we'll be able to
identify which way he's leaning.
391
00:15:45,444 --> 00:15:48,238
I hate to give you even an ounce
of satisfaction, Scooter,
392
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:49,448
but this is pretty fucking cool.
393
00:15:49,490 --> 00:15:51,367
Of course it's cool.
I made it.
394
00:15:51,408 --> 00:15:53,285
But sadly, it's just a start.
395
00:15:53,327 --> 00:15:55,788
Not surprised to see the bulk
of Colin's network's in Europe.
396
00:15:55,829 --> 00:15:58,540
Yeah. Lot of likely cities
in Europe, though.
397
00:15:58,582 --> 00:16:01,168
We do have these kids
who work here.
398
00:16:01,210 --> 00:16:03,504
Very energetic,
sometimes annoying.
399
00:16:03,545 --> 00:16:05,923
So PC, they make John Hodgeman
look like an iMac.
400
00:16:05,965 --> 00:16:08,092
We should use them.
401
00:16:13,305 --> 00:16:15,516
Hey, quantlings, special
assignment. Who wants in?
402
00:16:15,557 --> 00:16:17,226
Here's a chance
to be useful for a change.
403
00:16:17,267 --> 00:16:19,061
Your taunts
don't hurt me anymore.
404
00:16:19,103 --> 00:16:20,688
I'm not sure millennials
are motivated by competition.
405
00:16:20,729 --> 00:16:22,731
How 'bout this?
You both win a trophy.
406
00:16:22,773 --> 00:16:25,484
We need you to do an internet
scrape of one Colin Drache.
407
00:16:25,526 --> 00:16:27,111
You want us to hack someone?
408
00:16:27,152 --> 00:16:29,071
-Black hat?
-That's kinda weird.
409
00:16:29,113 --> 00:16:30,572
Not a hack.
410
00:16:30,614 --> 00:16:32,491
Definitely not asking
you to hack anyone.
411
00:16:32,533 --> 00:16:34,576
More like a perfectly legal
ex-girlfriend stalking job.
412
00:16:34,618 --> 00:16:36,078
Oh, this is more
your wheelhouse.
413
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:37,454
[Wags] We need to see
who he's talking to.
414
00:16:37,496 --> 00:16:39,248
He's our in to the Commission.
415
00:16:39,289 --> 00:16:40,916
We need to know what other
cities he may be dancing with
416
00:16:40,958 --> 00:16:42,334
and which way he's leaning.
417
00:16:42,376 --> 00:16:43,627
I'll send you the details.
418
00:16:43,669 --> 00:16:44,920
What do we get
if we help?
419
00:16:44,962 --> 00:16:46,630
My foot not up your ass?
420
00:16:46,672 --> 00:16:49,258
Honestly, that approach
doesn't work with my generation.
421
00:16:49,299 --> 00:16:51,010
Oh, you're about to see
how well it--
422
00:16:51,051 --> 00:16:52,636
What do you want?
423
00:16:52,678 --> 00:16:54,138
To borrow his Bentley
for a weekend.
424
00:16:54,179 --> 00:16:55,389
You got it.
425
00:17:01,645 --> 00:17:03,564
I decided to kill
the pending land bank deals.
426
00:17:03,605 --> 00:17:06,233
Turn 'em down. Open up
a new application process.
427
00:17:06,275 --> 00:17:08,569
I'd like us
to issue a press release,
428
00:17:08,610 --> 00:17:10,821
then we string Krakow up
for trying to make a land grab
429
00:17:10,863 --> 00:17:13,240
for illicit purposes
before his SPAC even--
430
00:17:13,282 --> 00:17:14,783
You screwed me
out of my Treasury gig,
431
00:17:14,825 --> 00:17:16,910
now you're trying
to do it again!
432
00:17:16,952 --> 00:17:18,287
What's the name of that
433
00:17:18,328 --> 00:17:19,747
Randy Rogers Band song
I like so much?
434
00:17:19,788 --> 00:17:21,248
-"Speak Of The Devil"?
-That's the one.
435
00:17:21,290 --> 00:17:22,458
I'll go get started.
436
00:17:22,499 --> 00:17:23,917
I just don't understand
437
00:17:23,959 --> 00:17:25,669
why you'd side
with Mike Prince on this.
438
00:17:25,711 --> 00:17:27,171
Mike Prince?
439
00:17:27,212 --> 00:17:29,256
Uh, you think
I sided with him to--
440
00:17:29,298 --> 00:17:31,800
Uh, the land bank
killed my transactions.
441
00:17:31,842 --> 00:17:33,552
We had to.
442
00:17:33,594 --> 00:17:35,471
Because like so many others
in the billionaire class,
443
00:17:35,512 --> 00:17:37,973
you're using loopholes
to game the system.
444
00:17:38,015 --> 00:17:41,393
Using private shell companies
to buy public lands?
445
00:17:41,435 --> 00:17:44,521
Veiling disclosures about land
use for community redevelopment?
446
00:17:44,563 --> 00:17:47,399
It may not be illegal,
but it's unethical.
447
00:17:47,441 --> 00:17:49,359
So is your office
accepting graft,
448
00:17:49,401 --> 00:17:51,403
-but that didn't stop you.
-From whom?
449
00:17:51,445 --> 00:17:54,406
Oh, uh, I suppose
we're back to Mike Prince.
450
00:17:54,448 --> 00:17:57,409
You know he just wants
the land for himself.
451
00:17:57,451 --> 00:17:59,745
-How'd he get you on his side?
-He didn't.
452
00:17:59,787 --> 00:18:02,748
But if he tries the same tactic,
he'll face the same scrutiny.
453
00:18:02,790 --> 00:18:05,042
Whatever gig he's offering you
with the Commish,
454
00:18:05,084 --> 00:18:07,711
I'll up it
if you restore my transactions.
455
00:18:07,753 --> 00:18:10,506
-Commish. Right. Sure.
-The Olympic Commission.
456
00:18:10,547 --> 00:18:12,174
Is he gonna give you
something with teeth,
457
00:18:12,216 --> 00:18:14,718
-or something ceremonial?
-Oh.
458
00:18:16,595 --> 00:18:19,515
You two are trying to steer
the Olympics to the City.
459
00:18:19,556 --> 00:18:22,851
May seem weird now, but
Mitt Romney was a fucking god
460
00:18:22,893 --> 00:18:24,895
when he brought them
to Salt Lake.
461
00:18:24,937 --> 00:18:26,647
I could use some of
that social capital.
462
00:18:26,688 --> 00:18:29,149
Turn it into actual capital.
Ka-ching.
463
00:18:29,191 --> 00:18:31,985
Don't make
the cash register sound.
464
00:18:32,027 --> 00:18:33,862
I would never.
465
00:18:33,904 --> 00:18:37,241
So you get this land,
you lead the effort,
466
00:18:37,282 --> 00:18:40,369
you become the chair of
the New York City Commission.
467
00:18:40,410 --> 00:18:42,079
You win, and Prince suffers?
468
00:18:42,121 --> 00:18:43,664
Humiliations galore.
469
00:18:45,082 --> 00:18:46,792
Perhaps we can work this out.
470
00:18:48,627 --> 00:18:50,879
Resubmit you applications,
cards up.
471
00:18:50,921 --> 00:18:53,048
Transparency
will protect us both.
472
00:18:53,090 --> 00:18:55,217
Being open and honest
has never worked for me,
473
00:18:55,259 --> 00:18:56,927
but... I'll try anything.
474
00:18:56,969 --> 00:18:58,470
And, matter of fact,
I will take something.
475
00:18:58,512 --> 00:19:00,305
I'll steer infrastructure
476
00:19:00,347 --> 00:19:02,975
so the people of this city
benefit from all the spending,
477
00:19:03,016 --> 00:19:05,894
and so they don't just end up
with abandoned venues
478
00:19:05,936 --> 00:19:07,146
like Rio's Olympic Park.
479
00:19:07,187 --> 00:19:08,689
That place
is a fucking dustbowl.
480
00:19:08,730 --> 00:19:11,233
You're a true steward
of the people, Chuck.
481
00:19:11,275 --> 00:19:13,277
-Mm-hm.
-I appreciate the consideration.
482
00:19:13,318 --> 00:19:14,528
We have a deal.
483
00:19:14,570 --> 00:19:15,696
Good.
484
00:19:15,737 --> 00:19:16,780
Ka-ching.
485
00:19:26,748 --> 00:19:29,918
Let's, uh, hold a beat
on the press conference.
486
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,753
What's up?
487
00:19:31,795 --> 00:19:34,381
Our friend Krakow will get
his shot at the land after all.
488
00:19:34,423 --> 00:19:36,550
How?
And more importantly, why?
489
00:19:36,592 --> 00:19:38,719
A different way,
with some different codicils--
490
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,096
That greed-driven Meisterburger
gets to bite off
491
00:19:41,138 --> 00:19:43,223
a big part of the city that
we're supposed to safeguard?
492
00:19:43,265 --> 00:19:45,434
To invite redevelopment
into those areas of the city,
493
00:19:45,475 --> 00:19:46,810
don't we need developers?
494
00:19:46,852 --> 00:19:48,478
Not ones who bypass
public approval
495
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,272
to do whatever
the hell they want.
496
00:19:50,314 --> 00:19:52,316
This project doesn't advance
without my guiding hand.
497
00:19:52,357 --> 00:19:53,775
It's for the greater good.
498
00:19:53,817 --> 00:19:55,611
It may not feel
that way now, but it is.
499
00:19:55,652 --> 00:19:57,654
It certainly
doesn't feel that way.
500
00:19:57,696 --> 00:19:59,364
-It feels more like--
-Understood, Mrs. Sacker.
501
00:20:00,324 --> 00:20:02,409
[door opens, closes]
502
00:20:05,829 --> 00:20:07,873
Mr. Mateo.
503
00:20:07,915 --> 00:20:09,499
Mr. Prince.
504
00:20:09,541 --> 00:20:10,792
It turns out
my partnership overtures
505
00:20:10,834 --> 00:20:12,753
weren't met
with open arms.
506
00:20:16,381 --> 00:20:19,885
[no audible dialogue]
507
00:20:23,388 --> 00:20:25,349
Was that about the
Dollar Bill and Mafee SPAC?
508
00:20:25,390 --> 00:20:28,018
Did he assign you
to sanction it?
509
00:20:28,060 --> 00:20:29,102
Like Nicholai Hel?
510
00:20:30,103 --> 00:20:31,521
It's out of my hands.
511
00:20:31,563 --> 00:20:33,398
That means you are
gonna sanction it.
512
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,692
Kill it. Them.
513
00:20:35,734 --> 00:20:37,027
Shit.
514
00:20:37,069 --> 00:20:38,612
Shit.
515
00:20:40,948 --> 00:20:42,532
Are you still okay
with Prince going after
516
00:20:42,574 --> 00:20:44,201
our former compatriots?
Because he is.
517
00:20:44,243 --> 00:20:46,870
I'm surprised Mafee
was so forthcoming with you
518
00:20:46,912 --> 00:20:48,872
considering he hadn't
suggested any real estate
519
00:20:48,914 --> 00:20:50,874
-speculation with me.
-You and Mafee talk, too?
520
00:20:50,916 --> 00:20:52,417
Of course. We're friends.
521
00:20:52,459 --> 00:20:53,919
We have a standing
weekly dinner.
522
00:20:53,961 --> 00:20:55,921
So then you have
to agree we should save them.
523
00:20:55,963 --> 00:20:57,756
If they are anti-fragile,
they will survive
524
00:20:57,798 --> 00:20:59,841
and thrive no matter
what Prince does.
525
00:20:59,883 --> 00:21:01,843
And if not, well,
I have to take the long view.
526
00:21:01,885 --> 00:21:03,178
So harsh.
527
00:21:03,220 --> 00:21:04,346
That's the way of the gun.
528
00:21:04,388 --> 00:21:05,847
And you're okay with it.
529
00:21:05,889 --> 00:21:07,641
The gun doesn't care
what I'm okay with.
530
00:21:18,902 --> 00:21:21,530
The ruination of the
High Plains SPAC is coming,
531
00:21:21,571 --> 00:21:23,282
and I feel terrible.
532
00:21:23,323 --> 00:21:25,075
I can't focus through the guilt.
533
00:21:25,117 --> 00:21:26,618
You want to be a martyr,
be my guest,
534
00:21:26,660 --> 00:21:27,953
but you're not gonna
find any grenades
535
00:21:27,995 --> 00:21:29,788
to throw yourself onto in here.
536
00:21:29,830 --> 00:21:31,290
I'm the one who put them
in the crosshairs.
537
00:21:31,331 --> 00:21:33,125
Inadvertently.
538
00:21:33,166 --> 00:21:35,419
You woke half the team
in the middle of the night.
539
00:21:35,460 --> 00:21:36,962
That's advertent.
540
00:21:37,004 --> 00:21:38,964
Because we have a lot
riding on the Olympics.
541
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,969
Beyond that, though?
542
00:21:44,011 --> 00:21:46,013
It's... my job.
543
00:21:47,139 --> 00:21:48,807
I could say you're a PM
in a fund
544
00:21:48,849 --> 00:21:50,642
20 times the size of theirs.
545
00:21:50,684 --> 00:21:53,312
Mafee sloppily showed his hand,
you went all in against it.
546
00:21:53,353 --> 00:21:56,315
In what world does
that make you the bad guy?
547
00:21:56,356 --> 00:21:58,942
If you did,
I might feel better.
548
00:21:58,984 --> 00:22:01,862
And if I agreed
you let down your moral code?
549
00:22:03,155 --> 00:22:04,281
Worse.
550
00:22:04,323 --> 00:22:05,991
And I'd probably sulk.
551
00:22:07,284 --> 00:22:08,910
So then...
552
00:22:08,952 --> 00:22:11,163
own the fact that
Mafee doesn't work here anymore.
553
00:22:11,204 --> 00:22:12,664
Neither does Dollar Bill.
554
00:22:12,706 --> 00:22:14,499
-Well, yeah, but--
-We're competitors now.
555
00:22:14,541 --> 00:22:17,586
I know. But couldn't I at least
warn them what's coming?
556
00:22:17,627 --> 00:22:19,087
Sure. But play that out.
557
00:22:19,129 --> 00:22:20,964
You'd get fired,
and you'd never work again
558
00:22:21,006 --> 00:22:23,091
because everyone would know
you fed our plays
559
00:22:23,133 --> 00:22:25,093
to the competition
because you're you,
560
00:22:25,135 --> 00:22:27,137
and the world's the world,
and that is what will happen.
561
00:22:27,179 --> 00:22:30,098
Wish I hadn't
said anything now.
562
00:22:30,140 --> 00:22:32,059
Can't put that shit
back in the goose.
563
00:22:34,019 --> 00:22:35,979
You don't want
to feel bad again,
564
00:22:36,021 --> 00:22:38,023
act differently. Beforehand.
565
00:22:38,065 --> 00:22:40,525
In the meantime, you're
just gonna have to feel
566
00:22:40,567 --> 00:22:42,027
two things at once
because
567
00:22:42,069 --> 00:22:44,738
that's what life
demands of us.
568
00:22:47,741 --> 00:22:49,826
Thanks, I guess.
569
00:22:49,868 --> 00:22:51,286
I don't feel any better.
570
00:22:54,039 --> 00:22:56,708
Seems to be my specialty
of late.
571
00:23:02,964 --> 00:23:05,175
Tell me, Ben Kim,
572
00:23:05,217 --> 00:23:08,261
do you wish you'd left with them
and stayed loyal to Axe?
573
00:23:09,429 --> 00:23:10,597
Do you?
574
00:23:13,350 --> 00:23:14,768
No.
575
00:23:16,019 --> 00:23:18,772
But I, too, admire
what Mafee and DB did.
576
00:23:19,606 --> 00:23:21,149
Know that.
577
00:23:21,191 --> 00:23:22,943
Then do something.
578
00:23:26,196 --> 00:23:28,615
[door opens, closes]
579
00:23:31,284 --> 00:23:33,036
["Ramblin' Man" by
The Allman Brothers plays]
580
00:23:33,078 --> 00:23:37,833
Lord, I was born
a ramblin' man
581
00:23:37,874 --> 00:23:42,129
Tryin' to make a livin'
and doin' the best I can
582
00:23:43,463 --> 00:23:45,924
And when it's time
for leavin'
583
00:23:45,966 --> 00:23:49,261
I hope you'll understand
584
00:23:49,302 --> 00:23:52,889
That I was born
a ramblin' man
585
00:23:52,931 --> 00:23:58,478
My father was a gambler
down in Georgia
586
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:03,984
And he wound up
on the wrong end of a gun
587
00:24:04,025 --> 00:24:06,653
And I was born
in the back seat
588
00:24:06,695 --> 00:24:09,990
Of a Greyhound bus
589
00:24:10,031 --> 00:24:14,786
Rollin' down highway 41
590
00:24:14,828 --> 00:24:19,708
Lord, I was born
a ramblin' man
591
00:24:19,749 --> 00:24:20,876
That's it.
592
00:24:20,917 --> 00:24:23,044
That's enough.
593
00:24:23,086 --> 00:24:24,629
Come on, ladies.
594
00:24:24,671 --> 00:24:26,256
I think destiny
is calling us.
595
00:24:26,298 --> 00:24:28,383
And when it's time
for leavin'
596
00:24:28,425 --> 00:24:32,095
I hope you'll understand
that I was born...
597
00:24:32,137 --> 00:24:34,890
Prince says we should add Krakow
to the list of Colin's suitors.
598
00:24:34,931 --> 00:24:36,641
-Figures.
-Prince will knock him off.
599
00:24:36,683 --> 00:24:38,059
We just have to focus
on whoever else.
600
00:24:38,101 --> 00:24:40,145
-What's with the stuff?
-My office.
601
00:24:40,187 --> 00:24:41,605
It's yours now.
You take it.
602
00:24:41,646 --> 00:24:42,898
-I'm fine--
-Nope.
603
00:24:42,939 --> 00:24:44,941
I'm not unaware
of the workflow.
604
00:24:44,983 --> 00:24:46,818
You take it.
I'll decamp here.
605
00:24:48,195 --> 00:24:49,154
You sure?
606
00:24:49,196 --> 00:24:51,281
As it should be.
607
00:24:51,323 --> 00:24:52,991
On your way.
608
00:24:53,033 --> 00:24:55,243
[hums]
609
00:25:09,424 --> 00:25:11,343
[Prince]
Welcome Mayor Johnson.
610
00:25:22,521 --> 00:25:24,231
I get it. You need the room.
611
00:25:28,401 --> 00:25:30,529
I see I'm not
the only new blood in town.
612
00:25:30,570 --> 00:25:33,949
I hope to do in the hedge
fund space what you undoubtedly
613
00:25:33,990 --> 00:25:35,742
will do in City Hall,
Ms. Mayor.
614
00:25:40,580 --> 00:25:42,832
I'm coming home, boys!
615
00:25:42,874 --> 00:25:44,376
[all clapping, cheering]
616
00:25:53,260 --> 00:25:54,844
Mayor Johnson,
I'll keep this brief.
617
00:25:54,886 --> 00:25:56,221
When I supported your campaign,
618
00:25:56,263 --> 00:25:58,098
I promised to come to you
with big ideas.
619
00:25:58,139 --> 00:26:00,183
You supported
my competitors as well.
620
00:26:00,225 --> 00:26:01,768
But go on.
621
00:26:01,810 --> 00:26:03,812
What would you say
to one of my competitors
622
00:26:03,853 --> 00:26:05,855
concealing his efforts
to lure the Olympics here
623
00:26:05,897 --> 00:26:07,440
without consulting you first?
624
00:26:07,482 --> 00:26:08,608
Oh, that?
625
00:26:08,650 --> 00:26:10,277
No new stadium, no bid.
626
00:26:10,318 --> 00:26:11,611
Who is it?
627
00:26:11,653 --> 00:26:13,446
Former
Treasury Sec Todd Krakow.
628
00:26:13,488 --> 00:26:15,282
He hasn't announced yet,
but it's him.
629
00:26:15,323 --> 00:26:17,117
Hmm.
630
00:26:17,158 --> 00:26:18,868
Maybe he has the juice,
but I'm not convinced. For when?
631
00:26:18,910 --> 00:26:21,371
The Games need
a new host city for 2028.
632
00:26:22,414 --> 00:26:23,999
That is a tight turnaround.
633
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:25,834
And the stadium faced
a lot of opposition
634
00:26:25,875 --> 00:26:27,419
last time this idea
was floated.
635
00:26:27,460 --> 00:26:29,546
Because it's bad for Manhattan.
For congestion,
636
00:26:29,588 --> 00:26:31,590
for affordable housing,
for the environment.
637
00:26:31,631 --> 00:26:34,843
Okay. So you want to bring this
to the City Council to kill?
638
00:26:34,884 --> 00:26:36,386
You could.
639
00:26:36,428 --> 00:26:38,179
But I believe you stand
more to gain
640
00:26:38,221 --> 00:26:40,181
by speaking out
against it yourself.
641
00:26:40,223 --> 00:26:41,433
How's that?
642
00:26:41,474 --> 00:26:43,351
-You're America's mayor.
-[laughs]
643
00:26:43,393 --> 00:26:44,936
With your new profile,
644
00:26:44,978 --> 00:26:46,730
you'd shine
a spotlight on my plan
645
00:26:46,771 --> 00:26:48,440
to build a stadium
in Westchester.
646
00:26:48,481 --> 00:26:51,234
You'd come out
looking like a hero
647
00:26:51,276 --> 00:26:54,029
for putting community impact
ahead of a photo op
648
00:26:54,070 --> 00:26:55,947
and the whims of a rich guy.
649
00:26:55,989 --> 00:26:59,159
I'm not interested
in what it looks like,
650
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,828
and I'm not interested
in making the same mistakes
651
00:27:01,870 --> 00:27:03,496
as the idiot I replaced.
652
00:27:03,538 --> 00:27:05,373
The mistake the idiot
who came before you made
653
00:27:05,415 --> 00:27:07,584
was not caring
what stuff looked like.
654
00:27:07,626 --> 00:27:10,295
Which is why he left office
as a punchline.
655
00:27:11,421 --> 00:27:12,797
Hmm.
656
00:27:17,552 --> 00:27:20,096
-They aren't gonna budge.
-You know for sure?
657
00:27:28,063 --> 00:27:30,190
[Wendy]
You know who invented steam?
658
00:27:30,231 --> 00:27:31,900
John Fitch.
659
00:27:31,941 --> 00:27:33,485
Steam power, anyway.
660
00:27:33,526 --> 00:27:36,237
The state legislature
gave him a 14-year monopoly
661
00:27:36,279 --> 00:27:37,739
to come up with
a commercial use for it.
662
00:27:37,781 --> 00:27:39,658
But Fitch fucked it up,
663
00:27:39,699 --> 00:27:42,243
lost the monopoly
because he couldn't do it.
664
00:27:42,285 --> 00:27:45,080
Steam power
transformed the world,
665
00:27:45,121 --> 00:27:48,500
but the man who invented it
died penniless.
666
00:27:48,541 --> 00:27:49,626
Killed himself.
667
00:27:49,668 --> 00:27:51,294
That's a sad story.
668
00:27:51,336 --> 00:27:52,921
Should come with a
trigger warning for the ending.
669
00:27:52,962 --> 00:27:54,839
The ending is the warning.
670
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:57,425
[chuckles]
671
00:27:57,467 --> 00:27:59,219
You two are all in
on a steamboat,
672
00:27:59,260 --> 00:28:00,929
but you're gonna
end up like Fitch.
673
00:28:02,222 --> 00:28:03,682
You want to keep affording
these offices
674
00:28:03,723 --> 00:28:05,266
and your business,
you need to listen.
675
00:28:06,184 --> 00:28:07,894
Prince knows
all about the SPAC
676
00:28:07,936 --> 00:28:09,437
and the Olympic play,
677
00:28:09,479 --> 00:28:10,814
and he's lining up
to destroy whatever it is
678
00:28:10,855 --> 00:28:12,107
-you're bringing out.
-Wait.
679
00:28:12,148 --> 00:28:13,566
How the fuck does Prince know
680
00:28:13,608 --> 00:28:14,609
about the Olympics piece?
681
00:28:14,651 --> 00:28:16,653
Shit. It was Ben Kim.
682
00:28:16,695 --> 00:28:18,279
How the fuck does
Ben Kim know?
683
00:28:18,321 --> 00:28:20,240
I didn't tell him anything.
684
00:28:20,281 --> 00:28:22,117
You know that this is the moment
when the detective
685
00:28:22,158 --> 00:28:24,577
realizes you killed
the guy, right?
686
00:28:24,619 --> 00:28:26,955
No one accused you
of anything yet, Mafee,
687
00:28:26,996 --> 00:28:28,581
but you're proclaiming
your innocence,
688
00:28:28,623 --> 00:28:31,084
which tells me
you're guilty as fuck.
689
00:28:31,126 --> 00:28:32,460
What did you tell him?
690
00:28:32,502 --> 00:28:34,003
I didn't tell him
the whole play.
691
00:28:34,045 --> 00:28:36,464
Well, I guess
I gave him enough clues.
692
00:28:36,506 --> 00:28:38,299
Prince knows.
That's all that matters now.
693
00:28:38,341 --> 00:28:40,802
No. What matters to you
is Prince.
694
00:28:40,844 --> 00:28:43,847
But I give no shits about
what matters to you, or him.
695
00:28:43,888 --> 00:28:47,058
And we are not walking away from
a Mayweather-Pacquiao payday
696
00:28:47,100 --> 00:28:49,185
so that Michael Prince
can take it.
697
00:28:49,227 --> 00:28:52,021
[scoffs]
We're already in position.
698
00:28:52,063 --> 00:28:54,107
Our incoming partner
has the land on lock.
699
00:28:55,942 --> 00:28:57,569
Why not bring your boss in
700
00:28:57,610 --> 00:29:00,238
to High Plains
and ride the wave with us?
701
00:29:01,531 --> 00:29:02,991
Boys...
702
00:29:03,032 --> 00:29:04,659
here's how this is gonna go.
703
00:29:04,701 --> 00:29:06,661
When the IPO happens, you're
gonna feel like winners,
704
00:29:06,703 --> 00:29:08,079
like you've finally made it.
705
00:29:08,121 --> 00:29:09,748
But when Prince kills
the Olympic play,
706
00:29:09,789 --> 00:29:12,125
the SPAC is gonna liquidate,
and you're gonna drown.
707
00:29:12,167 --> 00:29:15,545
You need to abandon your plan.
708
00:29:15,587 --> 00:29:17,672
Pull the filing
while you still can,
709
00:29:17,714 --> 00:29:20,383
before you wreck your
reputations and lose your money.
710
00:29:30,018 --> 00:29:32,145
Appreciate you coming
to us with this.
711
00:29:32,187 --> 00:29:34,147
Do you?
712
00:29:34,189 --> 00:29:35,815
First time here,
it's like you squatted
713
00:29:35,857 --> 00:29:37,233
in the middle of the office
714
00:29:37,275 --> 00:29:38,693
and took a big steaming
dump on the floor,
715
00:29:38,735 --> 00:29:40,320
but we know when we're beat.
716
00:29:40,361 --> 00:29:42,197
Speaking of dumps,
we've got some calls to make,
717
00:29:42,238 --> 00:29:44,532
to some investors that are
gonna be plenty disappointed
718
00:29:44,574 --> 00:29:46,493
we cancelled the offering.
We better get to it.
719
00:29:48,411 --> 00:29:50,079
You two are terrible liars,
720
00:29:50,121 --> 00:29:52,332
and you're pulling
from my playbook.
721
00:29:53,625 --> 00:29:56,711
You're not going to heed
my warning, are you?
722
00:29:56,753 --> 00:29:58,963
You wouldn't risk
your career like this.
723
00:29:59,005 --> 00:30:00,965
So you're here at his behest.
724
00:30:01,007 --> 00:30:02,967
And we don't do behest anymore.
725
00:30:04,969 --> 00:30:09,098
What does he think he means,
they don't "do behest?"
726
00:30:09,140 --> 00:30:10,725
It doesn't matter.
727
00:30:10,767 --> 00:30:13,102
Dollar Bill and Mafee
are on a blind profit run,
728
00:30:13,144 --> 00:30:15,897
and they're not going
to protect themselves.
729
00:30:15,939 --> 00:30:17,565
Is there anything else
we can do?
730
00:30:17,607 --> 00:30:19,818
Prince's plan is smart,
thoughtful,
731
00:30:19,859 --> 00:30:21,110
and benefits a lot of people.
732
00:30:21,152 --> 00:30:22,612
Especially people
at this company,
733
00:30:22,654 --> 00:30:25,281
especially people at this desk.
So, no.
734
00:30:25,323 --> 00:30:27,659
If I thought we could
save Dollar Bill and Mafee
735
00:30:27,700 --> 00:30:30,119
from themselves long-term,
I'd do it.
736
00:30:30,161 --> 00:30:31,830
I care for them,
Mafee especially.
737
00:30:31,871 --> 00:30:34,582
But, like I told Ben,
they are who they are.
738
00:30:35,708 --> 00:30:37,585
And, I guess, so are we.
739
00:30:45,343 --> 00:30:46,845
It is my pleasure
to announce that
740
00:30:46,886 --> 00:30:48,513
I will be spearheading
the High Plains Management
741
00:30:48,555 --> 00:30:52,350
real estate SPAC
rolling out as we speak.
742
00:30:52,392 --> 00:30:55,562
Consider it a Krak-SPAC,
if you will.
743
00:30:55,603 --> 00:30:57,355
Once funded, the company
will purchase properties
744
00:30:57,397 --> 00:30:58,982
along the East River
in Manhattan
745
00:30:59,023 --> 00:31:01,276
earmarked for redevelopment,
746
00:31:01,317 --> 00:31:03,027
bringing new life
to the community
747
00:31:03,069 --> 00:31:04,863
by building
an all-weather stadium,
748
00:31:04,904 --> 00:31:07,282
seating capacity for 85,000
749
00:31:07,323 --> 00:31:09,200
and a retractable roof.
750
00:31:10,827 --> 00:31:13,830
Zoning laws were created
for this very reason,
751
00:31:13,872 --> 00:31:15,456
to protect tenant rights
752
00:31:15,498 --> 00:31:17,458
and small business owners.
753
00:31:17,500 --> 00:31:19,460
These are the people
who put me in office.
754
00:31:19,502 --> 00:31:22,797
And I will not let
the Todd Krakows of the world
755
00:31:22,839 --> 00:31:24,674
bulldoze their livelihoods
756
00:31:24,716 --> 00:31:27,051
with plans to build
a nonessential
757
00:31:27,093 --> 00:31:28,845
new stadium in Manhattan.
758
00:31:28,887 --> 00:31:31,222
I won't fast-track it.
759
00:31:31,264 --> 00:31:32,849
I won't even allow zoning for it
760
00:31:32,891 --> 00:31:34,392
without it first
going through extensive
761
00:31:34,434 --> 00:31:37,186
community, committee
762
00:31:37,228 --> 00:31:38,855
and environmental reviews.
763
00:31:38,897 --> 00:31:40,732
And I mean extensive.
764
00:31:40,773 --> 00:31:42,358
I'm talking years.
765
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,027
Boom.
766
00:31:44,068 --> 00:31:46,029
She dropped the payload.
767
00:31:46,070 --> 00:31:47,655
Time to raid the villages.
768
00:31:50,783 --> 00:31:53,536
Thank you. We'll get you those
architectural plans tout suite.
769
00:31:53,578 --> 00:31:55,413
-Ciao.
-[woman] Great, thanks.
770
00:31:56,748 --> 00:31:57,749
[cellphone vibrates]
771
00:31:59,042 --> 00:32:00,668
[chuckles]
772
00:32:00,710 --> 00:32:02,420
[cellphone vibrates]
773
00:32:06,549 --> 00:32:08,259
Oh fuck!
774
00:32:10,887 --> 00:32:12,180
Fuck!
775
00:32:12,221 --> 00:32:14,599
That Krakow SPAC IPO?
776
00:32:14,641 --> 00:32:17,226
You should know, it's not
as rosy as you thought.
777
00:32:17,268 --> 00:32:19,020
The rezoning's
just the beginning.
778
00:32:19,062 --> 00:32:22,398
Krakow is getting machinegunned
like Elias in Platoon.
779
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,193
-Thing's taking a dirt nap.
-MPC has cleared a lane
780
00:32:25,234 --> 00:32:26,903
for a stadium deal of our own.
781
00:32:26,945 --> 00:32:29,280
We've got green lights
all the way to breaking ground.
782
00:32:29,322 --> 00:32:31,908
But I'm your transport
out of the 'Nam.
783
00:32:31,950 --> 00:32:33,451
I'm glad to hear that.
784
00:32:33,493 --> 00:32:35,703
You're smart to stay away
from Krakow.
785
00:32:39,791 --> 00:32:41,501
Dude, you're not
going through your list.
786
00:32:42,794 --> 00:32:44,087
I will.
787
00:32:44,128 --> 00:32:45,463
Just give me sec.
788
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,634
[sighs]
789
00:32:57,350 --> 00:32:59,352
We found out Colin's
a rabid footballer.
790
00:32:59,394 --> 00:33:01,437
-How rabid?
-Keeper at his club rabid.
791
00:33:01,479 --> 00:33:03,523
Three trips across
the globe to see matches
792
00:33:03,564 --> 00:33:05,233
during the pandemic rabid.
793
00:33:05,274 --> 00:33:07,235
So he likes football,
as do millions.
794
00:33:07,276 --> 00:33:08,236
We looked deeper.
795
00:33:08,277 --> 00:33:09,654
There's an opening.
796
00:33:20,999 --> 00:33:22,750
The IPO busted before
it even opened for trading.
797
00:33:22,792 --> 00:33:24,293
[Taylor]
I saw the Exchange halt it
798
00:33:24,335 --> 00:33:25,920
shortly after
the mayor's statement.
799
00:33:25,962 --> 00:33:28,256
No money raised.
Krakow can't back his bids.
800
00:33:28,297 --> 00:33:30,717
And Dollar Bill and Mafee can't
collect any sponsorship fees.
801
00:33:34,846 --> 00:33:36,764
Look, I didn't go
into this to do damage,
802
00:33:36,806 --> 00:33:38,641
but from my vantage,
803
00:33:38,683 --> 00:33:40,685
we're destabilizing a bad actor,
804
00:33:40,727 --> 00:33:42,854
saving the Games from
the corruption and exclusion
805
00:33:42,895 --> 00:33:46,190
that follow men like Krakow,
who only see a payday in this.
806
00:33:46,232 --> 00:33:47,984
But the land,
807
00:33:48,026 --> 00:33:49,694
that's still
worth something to me.
808
00:33:49,736 --> 00:33:51,654
I thought we were
building in Westchester.
809
00:33:51,696 --> 00:33:53,823
Crown jewel was always
the waterfront in Manhattan.
810
00:33:53,865 --> 00:33:55,491
We're just gonna build there
the right way.
811
00:33:55,533 --> 00:33:57,201
Oh, this is Spanish Prisoner.
812
00:33:57,243 --> 00:33:58,286
We're not at the blowoff yet.
813
00:33:58,327 --> 00:33:59,412
There's another act coming.
814
00:33:59,454 --> 00:34:01,706
You'll see soon enough.
815
00:34:10,673 --> 00:34:13,301
I hope you've had some time
to consider my original offer,
816
00:34:13,342 --> 00:34:16,387
though I'd say you've waived
the chance to negotiate.
817
00:34:16,429 --> 00:34:18,139
I somehow thought
you were different.
818
00:34:18,181 --> 00:34:19,307
But your approach
reminds me a lot
819
00:34:19,348 --> 00:34:20,975
of the man whose
office you took.
820
00:34:21,017 --> 00:34:23,186
It's possible you
bring out a similar reaction
821
00:34:23,227 --> 00:34:24,854
in wildly disparate individuals.
822
00:34:24,896 --> 00:34:26,856
I'll think it over
when I drink your blood
823
00:34:26,898 --> 00:34:28,483
after decapitating you.
824
00:34:28,524 --> 00:34:30,526
Accepting loss is hard
for those who lack humility.
825
00:34:30,568 --> 00:34:32,695
But here's a reality check.
826
00:34:32,737 --> 00:34:34,655
You have deals
with the City on land,
827
00:34:34,697 --> 00:34:36,324
but your SPAC is liquidated
828
00:34:36,365 --> 00:34:37,825
and you don't have
the capital to close.
829
00:34:37,867 --> 00:34:40,912
My investors dumped me
like Winthorpe
830
00:34:40,953 --> 00:34:42,997
and Billy Ray Valentine
in the orange juice pit.
831
00:34:43,039 --> 00:34:45,249
That's the problem
with other people's money.
832
00:34:45,291 --> 00:34:47,376
They can take it away from you.
833
00:34:47,418 --> 00:34:49,587
So, you'll either
go into your pocket--
834
00:34:49,629 --> 00:34:51,923
For a billion dollars
of New York fucking real estate
835
00:34:51,964 --> 00:34:54,258
that you got the mayor
to oppose zoning changes on?!
836
00:34:54,300 --> 00:34:55,927
Don't think so.
837
00:34:55,968 --> 00:34:57,386
I like being rich.
838
00:34:57,428 --> 00:34:58,638
Not gonna end up like Trump.
839
00:34:58,679 --> 00:35:00,223
Or you'll...
840
00:35:00,264 --> 00:35:02,850
Partner with you.
841
00:35:02,892 --> 00:35:04,727
Fine.
842
00:35:04,769 --> 00:35:07,313
Forget drinking your blood,
I'll stand with you instead.
843
00:35:07,355 --> 00:35:09,524
I'll assign the deeds to you,
844
00:35:09,565 --> 00:35:11,400
you and your investors pay.
845
00:35:11,442 --> 00:35:13,194
And I'll be starting QB.
846
00:35:13,236 --> 00:35:15,988
That's fine. It's fine.
847
00:35:16,030 --> 00:35:18,866
Just know we'll be spitting
in Chuck Rhoades's eye.
848
00:35:18,908 --> 00:35:20,743
Hey, don't worry.
849
00:35:20,785 --> 00:35:21,786
I'll handle him.
850
00:35:39,762 --> 00:35:41,973
I can't fucking believe it.
Here you are.
851
00:35:42,014 --> 00:35:44,267
I thought, "There's no way
Taylor would think our dinner's
852
00:35:44,308 --> 00:35:46,769
still on after their firm
destroyed my goddamn company."
853
00:35:46,811 --> 00:35:47,979
But here you are.
854
00:35:48,020 --> 00:35:49,564
It's unfortunate
the way the IPO went,
855
00:35:49,605 --> 00:35:50,982
that the SPAC is zeroed out.
856
00:35:51,023 --> 00:35:52,650
I understand you were warned
not to launch it.
857
00:35:52,692 --> 00:35:54,944
One is business,
the other personal.
858
00:35:54,986 --> 00:35:56,445
-I don't see the linkage.
-You thought you could just
859
00:35:56,487 --> 00:35:58,072
sit across from me,
enjoying those
860
00:35:58,114 --> 00:36:00,533
bok choy pot stickers,
while my life is falling apart,
861
00:36:00,575 --> 00:36:03,286
because of you
and the company you help run?
862
00:36:03,327 --> 00:36:06,038
I knew you were
a fucking cyborg.
863
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:07,915
And I thought about
letting you sit there
864
00:36:07,957 --> 00:36:09,709
and put the pieces
together on your own.
865
00:36:09,750 --> 00:36:11,711
But I had to see for myself
just how devoid
866
00:36:11,752 --> 00:36:13,880
of all human
understanding you are.
867
00:36:13,921 --> 00:36:15,673
I...
868
00:36:38,362 --> 00:36:39,947
Spain's coming hard.
869
00:36:39,989 --> 00:36:41,824
They somehow convinced
Real Madrid's manager
870
00:36:41,866 --> 00:36:43,492
to give Drache soccer lessons,
871
00:36:43,534 --> 00:36:45,119
all to win him over
to the Madrid effort.
872
00:36:45,161 --> 00:36:47,163
Meaning they figured
out what matters to him.
873
00:36:47,205 --> 00:36:49,707
Wasn't hard.
Guy raises millions for ALS.
874
00:36:49,749 --> 00:36:52,460
So we back up the Brinks truck,
875
00:36:52,501 --> 00:36:54,170
help cure a disease,
876
00:36:54,212 --> 00:36:55,671
and the guy becomes a hero.
877
00:36:55,713 --> 00:36:58,382
And Colin never walks
onto Madrid's pitch.
878
00:37:00,885 --> 00:37:03,638
I'm have a sudden craving
for croquetas.
879
00:37:03,679 --> 00:37:04,931
Want to put in an order?
880
00:37:04,972 --> 00:37:06,599
Sure. Pull up a menu.
881
00:37:06,641 --> 00:37:09,518
Alexa, play my faves playlist.
882
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,939
[Alexa] Playlist faves
on Amazon music.
883
00:37:12,980 --> 00:37:15,566
["Cat's in the Cradle"
by Harry Chapin plays]
884
00:37:26,035 --> 00:37:28,037
You put this
song on your playlist?
885
00:37:28,079 --> 00:37:30,122
Don't tell me you have
a problem with Harry Chapin.
886
00:37:30,164 --> 00:37:33,209
No, I just didn't realize
you had any taste.
887
00:37:33,251 --> 00:37:34,335
Oh...
888
00:37:34,377 --> 00:37:35,711
Thanks.
889
00:37:35,753 --> 00:37:36,671
I think.
890
00:37:36,712 --> 00:37:39,048
While I was away
891
00:37:39,090 --> 00:37:41,926
And he was talking 'fore
I knew it, and as he grew...
892
00:37:41,968 --> 00:37:43,344
This song.
893
00:37:43,386 --> 00:37:46,430
It used to hit me
as the son.
894
00:37:47,765 --> 00:37:49,600
Now it hits me as the father.
895
00:37:49,642 --> 00:37:51,227
And the cat's
in the cradle...
896
00:37:51,269 --> 00:37:52,478
You?
897
00:37:55,106 --> 00:37:56,482
Yeah.
898
00:37:57,441 --> 00:37:58,651
Both.
899
00:37:58,693 --> 00:38:01,946
But we'll
get together then
900
00:38:01,988 --> 00:38:05,366
You know we'll
have a good time then
901
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,452
-[clears throat]
-[sobs]
902
00:38:21,716 --> 00:38:23,092
I said I was fine
with what we did,
903
00:38:23,134 --> 00:38:25,011
but maybe I didn't
see it through.
904
00:38:25,052 --> 00:38:27,513
The associated loss,
in human terms.
905
00:38:27,555 --> 00:38:29,557
I didn't see all
the possible outcomes.
906
00:38:29,598 --> 00:38:31,100
After Mafee left the firm,
907
00:38:31,142 --> 00:38:33,352
I always thought of us
as Bird and Magic.
908
00:38:33,394 --> 00:38:34,687
Kill each other on the court,
909
00:38:34,729 --> 00:38:36,147
but best friends
in the off-season.
910
00:38:37,606 --> 00:38:38,941
We were never
trained to be worried
911
00:38:38,983 --> 00:38:40,568
about unintended consequences.
912
00:38:40,609 --> 00:38:42,611
The win was all that mattered,
913
00:38:42,653 --> 00:38:44,989
and our success only
reinforced that idea.
914
00:38:46,490 --> 00:38:48,326
I say "we were trained,"
but in truth,
915
00:38:48,367 --> 00:38:50,077
I did most of that training,
916
00:38:50,119 --> 00:38:53,831
which is why I guess my attempt
to undo it was clumsy.
917
00:38:53,873 --> 00:38:56,917
The blame isn't just,
or even mostly, on you.
918
00:38:56,959 --> 00:38:58,878
I keep getting sucked
back into the short game,
919
00:38:58,919 --> 00:39:01,005
and I promised myself
I wouldn't do that anymore.
920
00:39:01,047 --> 00:39:03,841
To be fair, your short game
is everyone else's long game.
921
00:39:03,883 --> 00:39:06,093
That only makes it
more disappointing.
922
00:39:08,471 --> 00:39:10,014
So then what actions are you...
923
00:39:11,140 --> 00:39:14,018
are we going to take
to rectify it?
924
00:39:26,781 --> 00:39:29,116
-Here we are again.
-The game has changed.
925
00:39:29,158 --> 00:39:31,160
We need to put the stadium
in Manhattan after all.
926
00:39:31,202 --> 00:39:33,996
-Built at no cost to the city.
-What about the congestion?
927
00:39:34,038 --> 00:39:36,415
Affordable housing?
Impact on the environment?
928
00:39:36,457 --> 00:39:37,500
None of that will be a problem
929
00:39:37,541 --> 00:39:38,918
the way he's going to do it.
930
00:39:38,959 --> 00:39:40,920
Sustainable. Repurposable.
Cutting edge.
931
00:39:40,961 --> 00:39:43,130
And how am I not gonna look
like a flip-flopper?
932
00:39:43,172 --> 00:39:45,216
You're gonna look like
a brilliant negotiator.
933
00:39:45,257 --> 00:39:47,051
You have leveraged
the real estate community
934
00:39:47,093 --> 00:39:49,512
to band together
to build low-income housing
935
00:39:49,553 --> 00:39:51,305
unlike the City
has seen before.
936
00:39:51,347 --> 00:39:53,808
-State-of-the-art.
-Because first it's gonna be...
937
00:39:53,849 --> 00:39:55,309
Yes. Athletes' quarters.
938
00:39:55,351 --> 00:39:57,353
Built at the lowest possible
cost to the city,
939
00:39:57,395 --> 00:39:58,854
by one of our great builders.
940
00:39:58,896 --> 00:40:02,149
You mean if you win,
Chuck Rhoades suffers?
941
00:40:02,191 --> 00:40:04,568
Humiliations galore.
942
00:40:05,778 --> 00:40:07,488
Bud Lazzara's on board?
943
00:40:07,530 --> 00:40:09,907
Not only that, we have the site
and surrounding property,
944
00:40:09,949 --> 00:40:11,742
and a healthy war chest
to close on it with.
945
00:40:11,784 --> 00:40:14,912
Most importantly,
you have my word and a witness.
946
00:40:20,292 --> 00:40:22,002
Then let the Games begin.
947
00:40:29,093 --> 00:40:30,052
[door opens]
948
00:40:30,094 --> 00:40:31,929
Might want to watch your step.
949
00:40:31,971 --> 00:40:34,432
There's blood
all over the floor.
950
00:40:34,473 --> 00:40:36,434
Guess it wasn't good enough
you killed our IPO.
951
00:40:36,475 --> 00:40:39,061
You just had to do a stiff
fucking pile driver
952
00:40:39,103 --> 00:40:40,896
without protecting our necks.
953
00:40:40,938 --> 00:40:44,567
Oh, no, I've got you
tucked safely between my thighs.
954
00:40:44,608 --> 00:40:46,235
Kayfabe all the way.
955
00:40:46,277 --> 00:40:48,237
-I've spoken to Prince.
-And what?
956
00:40:48,279 --> 00:40:50,656
He wants to offer us
our old jobs back?
957
00:40:50,698 --> 00:40:52,491
I'm not walking backwards.
958
00:40:52,533 --> 00:40:53,659
Neither is Mafee.
959
00:40:53,701 --> 00:40:55,161
Well, I'd consider it,
960
00:40:55,202 --> 00:40:56,954
but no.
961
00:40:56,996 --> 00:40:58,956
We know the SPAC was going
to be your opportunity.
962
00:40:58,998 --> 00:41:01,625
Prince asked Spartan-Ives
to fund you instead.
963
00:41:01,667 --> 00:41:04,211
Spartan will write the check,
as a make-good to Prince.
964
00:41:04,253 --> 00:41:06,380
Meaning?
965
00:41:06,422 --> 00:41:07,965
They saved our asses.
966
00:41:08,007 --> 00:41:10,718
At what price?
We got to show fealty?
967
00:41:10,759 --> 00:41:12,636
Pledge our
firstborn sons? What?
968
00:41:12,678 --> 00:41:15,598
How about you take this as an
object lesson, free of charge.
969
00:41:15,639 --> 00:41:17,475
You're not giant-killers.
970
00:41:17,516 --> 00:41:18,767
Don't go swinging your swords
971
00:41:18,809 --> 00:41:20,394
into a battles
you've already lost.
972
00:41:20,436 --> 00:41:22,771
I lobbied for this too,
to square things with us.
973
00:41:22,813 --> 00:41:25,274
Suddenly had a conscience
program installed?
974
00:41:25,316 --> 00:41:27,151
-Did you go to Wendy for that?
-I did seek her counsel,
975
00:41:27,193 --> 00:41:29,153
to remind me
what I value most.
976
00:41:29,195 --> 00:41:30,613
So, what, Taylor?
977
00:41:30,654 --> 00:41:32,490
A friendship where
I'm watching every word I say
978
00:41:32,531 --> 00:41:34,325
for fear you're going to
gouge me in the eye later?
979
00:41:34,366 --> 00:41:36,452
I won't offer you any
empty platitudes, Mafee.
980
00:41:36,494 --> 00:41:38,454
But I would like a chance
to talk this through,
981
00:41:38,496 --> 00:41:39,830
repair our trust.
982
00:41:39,872 --> 00:41:41,916
Are we back on
for our regular dinners?
983
00:41:44,043 --> 00:41:45,169
We are.
984
00:41:47,046 --> 00:41:49,965
Did you hear that, Ben Kim?
985
00:41:50,007 --> 00:41:51,509
My god, that was brutal.
986
00:41:51,550 --> 00:41:53,636
But thank you.
987
00:41:53,677 --> 00:41:55,095
Thank you!
988
00:41:56,514 --> 00:41:57,848
Oh, thank Christ.
989
00:41:57,890 --> 00:41:59,350
We didn't blow up!
990
00:42:00,476 --> 00:42:02,853
Mortimer, we're back!
991
00:42:04,396 --> 00:42:05,606
[exhales]
992
00:42:05,648 --> 00:42:06,857
[grunts]
993
00:42:14,365 --> 00:42:16,116
So, this happened.
994
00:42:16,158 --> 00:42:18,285
And Mayor Tess is about to give
another press conference
995
00:42:18,327 --> 00:42:19,954
reversing field.
996
00:42:19,995 --> 00:42:21,330
Prince got to Krakow?
997
00:42:21,372 --> 00:42:22,540
And the mayor.
998
00:42:22,581 --> 00:42:24,375
Prince got Krakow's stadium?!
999
00:42:28,003 --> 00:42:29,797
The way I see it,
you dangled our land
1000
00:42:29,838 --> 00:42:31,549
to get a preferred outcome,
1001
00:42:31,590 --> 00:42:33,676
and now, instead of a good
initiative against one bad pony,
1002
00:42:33,717 --> 00:42:35,719
we've lost it to a pair of 'em.
1003
00:42:37,263 --> 00:42:38,514
No, wait.
1004
00:42:38,556 --> 00:42:41,350
Wait. In a way,
this actually helps us.
1005
00:42:41,392 --> 00:42:42,893
I'm not seeing it.
1006
00:42:42,935 --> 00:42:44,853
This proves my point,
doesn't it?
1007
00:42:44,895 --> 00:42:46,188
Billionaires plot in secret
1008
00:42:46,230 --> 00:42:48,023
to take everything
for themselves.
1009
00:42:48,065 --> 00:42:49,900
And the laws protect
their rights to do so.
1010
00:42:49,942 --> 00:42:51,527
Prince may have the land,
1011
00:42:51,569 --> 00:42:53,028
but he doesn't have the people
that live on it.
1012
00:42:53,070 --> 00:42:54,572
Is he going to start
buying people now?
1013
00:42:54,613 --> 00:42:55,906
Bet he would if he could.
1014
00:42:55,948 --> 00:42:58,200
-We can't let him.
-Uh-oh.
1015
00:42:58,242 --> 00:42:59,785
Are we about to see
the return of Farmer Chuck?
1016
00:42:59,827 --> 00:43:01,620
What'd Bruce say?
1017
00:43:01,662 --> 00:43:02,997
"Wherever there's a fight
1018
00:43:03,038 --> 00:43:04,707
against the blood
and hatred in the air,
1019
00:43:04,748 --> 00:43:07,668
look for me, Mom,
I'll be there."
1020
00:43:07,710 --> 00:43:09,837
I promise
I will think of something
1021
00:43:09,878 --> 00:43:11,672
to make it clear
that we are the stewards
1022
00:43:11,714 --> 00:43:13,549
of the best interests
of the people of New York,
1023
00:43:13,591 --> 00:43:15,217
and not Prince or Krakow.
1024
00:43:15,259 --> 00:43:16,927
How?
1025
00:43:20,931 --> 00:43:22,766
I need to take a little walk.
1026
00:43:22,808 --> 00:43:24,435
That's how.
1027
00:43:35,988 --> 00:43:37,448
You ready for
the Colin meeting?
1028
00:43:37,489 --> 00:43:39,408
Yep. Your office?
1029
00:43:39,450 --> 00:43:40,826
Our office.
1030
00:43:51,962 --> 00:43:53,589
I saw what you were doing
with the selfless
1031
00:43:53,631 --> 00:43:55,591
"donate the office" play.
Very elevated.
1032
00:43:55,633 --> 00:43:57,134
Bonding up with the guys.
1033
00:43:57,176 --> 00:43:59,261
Reifying your status
as their sergeant on the ground.
1034
00:43:59,303 --> 00:44:00,387
Can't let you get away with it.
1035
00:44:00,429 --> 00:44:02,681
-No?
-Uh-uh.
1036
00:44:02,723 --> 00:44:03,766
[Wags] So you actually wanna...?
1037
00:44:03,807 --> 00:44:05,809
That's right. We share.
1038
00:44:10,397 --> 00:44:12,441
Seems our good friend
Mr. Drache is back.
1039
00:44:12,483 --> 00:44:15,486
Colin, please, as we'll be
all working together.
1040
00:44:15,527 --> 00:44:18,572
So, Todd Krakow no longer
has need of your services?
1041
00:44:18,614 --> 00:44:20,574
Alas, no. Nor Spain.
1042
00:44:20,616 --> 00:44:23,911
They seem to be the type that
reneges on their prior promises.
1043
00:44:23,952 --> 00:44:25,329
While you seem
like the soccer type.
1044
00:44:25,371 --> 00:44:27,081
We're pretty tight
with David Beckham.
1045
00:44:27,122 --> 00:44:28,624
Maybe there'll be
an opportunity for him
1046
00:44:28,666 --> 00:44:29,958
to be on the pitch with you
1047
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:32,002
when he comes to town
for the Games.
1048
00:44:32,044 --> 00:44:33,962
Don't worry,
you're home now.
1049
00:44:34,004 --> 00:44:35,923
I certainly see that.
1050
00:44:35,964 --> 00:44:37,257
I'll let you fellas
get started.
1051
00:44:37,299 --> 00:44:38,842
I have a press
conference to attend.
1052
00:44:42,137 --> 00:44:44,473
There's no better time
to welcome the world
1053
00:44:44,515 --> 00:44:46,141
back to New York City.
1054
00:44:46,183 --> 00:44:48,185
I want to introduce
the man with the vision
1055
00:44:48,227 --> 00:44:50,646
and personal investment
as our partner,
1056
00:44:50,688 --> 00:44:54,358
the chairman of
the NYC 2028 Olympic Commission,
1057
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:55,651
Michael Prince.
1058
00:44:55,693 --> 00:44:57,277
[applause]
1059
00:44:59,279 --> 00:45:01,156
-Thank you, Mayor Johnson.
-[car horn beeps]
1060
00:45:01,198 --> 00:45:03,742
We both share
the same vision
1061
00:45:03,784 --> 00:45:06,412
of what a Summer Games
in New York should look like...
1062
00:45:06,453 --> 00:45:07,621
[car horns honk]
1063
00:45:07,663 --> 00:45:09,248
...an event for everyone.
1064
00:45:09,289 --> 00:45:11,834
A chance to showcase and rebuild
1065
00:45:11,875 --> 00:45:13,669
in all five boroughs.
1066
00:45:13,711 --> 00:45:16,171
But I don't think
the taxpayer...
1067
00:45:16,213 --> 00:45:17,548
-[horns continue honking]
-...should shoulder the burden
1068
00:45:17,589 --> 00:45:18,674
of the costs.
1069
00:45:18,716 --> 00:45:21,009
[multiple horns honking]
1070
00:45:21,051 --> 00:45:22,720
My approach incentivizes...
1071
00:45:22,761 --> 00:45:24,138
[man yelling]
1072
00:45:24,179 --> 00:45:26,306
...the private sector
to join me...
1073
00:45:26,348 --> 00:45:28,058
[man] Get out
of the fuckin' street!
1074
00:45:28,100 --> 00:45:30,602
Move the fuckin' car, bro!
1075
00:45:35,566 --> 00:45:36,900
Get out of the way!
1076
00:45:36,942 --> 00:45:38,444
[horns honking]
1077
00:45:41,238 --> 00:45:42,573
All right, back it up.
1078
00:45:42,614 --> 00:45:44,283
[truck beeping]
1079
00:45:50,247 --> 00:45:52,583
Oh, I think
we've got their attention.
1080
00:45:52,624 --> 00:45:54,168
[laughs]
1081
00:45:55,461 --> 00:45:58,088
So they want to revitalize
the City?
1082
00:45:58,130 --> 00:45:59,798
These plutocrats?
1083
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:03,218
Have they thought about
the unintended consequences
1084
00:46:03,260 --> 00:46:04,803
to the average citizen?
1085
00:46:04,845 --> 00:46:07,973
Do they think about
the average citizen at all?
1086
00:46:08,015 --> 00:46:11,059
I am not in this
for the goddamned Bronx Cheer.
1087
00:46:11,101 --> 00:46:13,729
Nobody told me about
the "fuck you" parade.
1088
00:46:13,771 --> 00:46:17,566
This is the traffic
for a press conference.
1089
00:46:17,608 --> 00:46:21,570
What will New York look like
when the traffic quintuples?
1090
00:46:25,657 --> 00:46:27,242
[crowd murmurs]
1091
00:46:27,284 --> 00:46:30,120
A cabal of billionaires
remaking the city.
1092
00:46:30,162 --> 00:46:33,457
What the hell do they know
about the real New York?
1093
00:46:34,833 --> 00:46:36,627
How many people
will be displaced
1094
00:46:36,668 --> 00:46:38,545
so they can build
an Olympic stadium?
1095
00:46:38,587 --> 00:46:40,255
Yeah.
1096
00:46:40,297 --> 00:46:42,716
Have they at all considered
what real New Yorkers
1097
00:46:42,758 --> 00:46:44,301
want for our city?
1098
00:46:44,343 --> 00:46:48,555
Maybe we should remind them
who we are.
1099
00:46:48,597 --> 00:46:50,182
Yeah?
1100
00:46:54,978 --> 00:46:56,980
What do we do
when the carpetbaggers
1101
00:46:57,022 --> 00:46:59,858
and the land barons try
to shove us out of the way?
1102
00:46:59,900 --> 00:47:02,194
-We shove back!
-[woman] Yeah!
1103
00:47:02,236 --> 00:47:06,448
-We shove back!
-[voices] Yeah!
1104
00:47:09,493 --> 00:47:10,661
That's right.
1105
00:47:12,079 --> 00:47:14,248
And together, the people,
1106
00:47:14,289 --> 00:47:16,291
and those who
represent the people,
1107
00:47:16,333 --> 00:47:19,586
we will take back our city!
1108
00:47:19,628 --> 00:47:22,047
Take back our city!
1109
00:47:22,089 --> 00:47:24,967
-Take back our city!
-Take back our city!
1110
00:47:25,008 --> 00:47:27,719
[all chanting]
Take back our city!
1111
00:47:27,761 --> 00:47:32,266
Take back our city!
1112
00:47:32,307 --> 00:47:36,645
-Take back our city!
-Take back our city!
1113
00:47:36,687 --> 00:47:38,772
Take back our city!
1114
00:47:38,814 --> 00:47:42,776
-Take back our city!
-Take back our city!
1115
00:47:42,818 --> 00:47:45,279
Take back our city!
1116
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:48,115
The time is right
for fighting
1117
00:47:48,156 --> 00:47:51,869
In the street, boy
1118
00:47:51,910 --> 00:47:55,455
But what can a poor boy do
1119
00:47:55,497 --> 00:47:58,709
Except to sing for
A rock 'n' roll band
1120
00:47:58,750 --> 00:48:02,296
'Cause in sleepy
London town
1121
00:48:02,337 --> 00:48:04,923
There's just no place for
1122
00:48:04,965 --> 00:48:08,927
A street fighting man
1123
00:48:08,969 --> 00:48:10,554
No
1124
00:48:18,645 --> 00:48:20,355
Hey!
1125
00:48:20,397 --> 00:48:22,566
Think the time is right for
