Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,083
Previously on "Billions"...
2
00:00:08,166 --> 00:00:10,083
The only enemy
more dangerous
3
00:00:10,166 --> 00:00:13,083
than a man with
unlimited resources...
4
00:00:13,166 --> 00:00:13,959
is one with nothing to lose.
5
00:00:14,041 --> 00:00:17,375
And that is what
you are looking at
6
00:00:17,458 --> 00:00:19,166
right here.
7
00:00:19,250 --> 00:00:21,000
This is for you...
8
00:00:21,083 --> 00:00:24,875
Look at them.
With that morning-after glow.
9
00:00:24,959 --> 00:00:28,000
This is what your wife
is out doing.
10
00:00:28,083 --> 00:00:29,000
You see
things differently.
11
00:00:29,083 --> 00:00:31,625
That's an edge.
Congratulations.
12
00:00:31,709 --> 00:00:33,583
All the analysts
now answer to you.
13
00:00:33,667 --> 00:00:36,583
We've long suspected criminal
activity at Axe Capital.
14
00:00:36,667 --> 00:00:39,083
- Do you know how to do this?
- Some parts of the job
15
00:00:39,166 --> 00:00:40,625
are pretty intuitive.
16
00:00:40,709 --> 00:00:42,458
Is there any law enforcement
here?
17
00:00:42,542 --> 00:00:43,667
No.
18
00:00:43,750 --> 00:00:46,542
You let me know if any show up.
19
00:00:46,625 --> 00:00:49,542
- You should name a C.I.O.
- I'll do it.
20
00:00:49,625 --> 00:00:52,291
But I'm not running with you.
And neither are the kids.
21
00:00:52,375 --> 00:00:54,125
So, you do what you got to do,
but we're staying.
22
00:00:54,208 --> 00:00:56,333
Black Jack Foley.
23
00:00:56,417 --> 00:00:58,000
- How are you, Charles?
- I'll be better
24
00:00:58,083 --> 00:01:01,041
if you help me out
with a little something.
25
00:01:01,125 --> 00:01:02,041
Jack.
26
00:01:02,125 --> 00:01:04,750
Will you make me governor?
27
00:01:06,291 --> 00:01:09,542
The Ice Juice IPO never tracks
back to my family,
28
00:01:09,625 --> 00:01:10,959
to my father's investment.
29
00:01:11,041 --> 00:01:13,458
Get out of the stock, Chuck.
They're gonna crush you.
30
00:01:13,542 --> 00:01:16,083
Wow, I'm glad to see
you view me as so defenseless.
31
00:01:16,166 --> 00:01:17,917
The Ice Juice short,
how do I get a piece of that?
32
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,834
Ice Juice
never made anyone sick.
33
00:01:20,917 --> 00:01:21,792
You baited him?
34
00:01:21,875 --> 00:01:25,750
You used my company,
my career, my future...
35
00:01:25,834 --> 00:01:28,417
Where do you get
the fucking nerve?!
36
00:01:28,500 --> 00:01:29,834
I am done with you.
37
00:01:29,917 --> 00:01:30,750
You've been named
interim U.S. Attorney
38
00:01:30,834 --> 00:01:33,000
for the Eastern District.
39
00:01:33,083 --> 00:01:35,333
You didn't think this shit
happened by accident,
40
00:01:35,417 --> 00:01:36,667
did you, Mr. Dake?
41
00:01:36,750 --> 00:01:39,583
I've arranged that you'll lead
the prosecution at Eastern.
42
00:01:39,667 --> 00:01:40,917
Tell Sacker I'm gonna make
her Chief of Crim.
43
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,709
I'm gonna find it.
44
00:01:44,792 --> 00:01:46,542
Whatever thread you left behind.
45
00:01:46,625 --> 00:01:47,917
And I am gonna pull on it
46
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,834
until your whole fucking world
unravels.
47
00:01:50,917 --> 00:01:52,792
I might go down behind
all of this,
48
00:01:52,875 --> 00:01:55,291
but you are gonna be
right there next to me.
49
00:01:56,709 --> 00:01:59,291
Worth it.
50
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:07,074
Advertise your product or brand here
contact www.OpenSubtitles.org today
51
00:02:56,834 --> 00:03:00,041
I'm from horse country,
Chuck, West Texas.
52
00:03:00,125 --> 00:03:03,250
My family bred 'em,
American quarterhorses.
53
00:03:03,333 --> 00:03:05,625
Those babies
fetch quite the price,
54
00:03:05,709 --> 00:03:08,208
so we were real gentle
with the product.
55
00:03:08,291 --> 00:03:09,417
We used teasers.
56
00:03:09,500 --> 00:03:11,458
Those are stallions
you put into the stall
57
00:03:11,542 --> 00:03:14,625
with the sole purpose of
making sure the mare's in heat,
58
00:03:14,709 --> 00:03:15,709
primed for breeding.
59
00:03:15,792 --> 00:03:17,208
Now, a teaser, he doesn't get
to do any fucking.
60
00:03:17,291 --> 00:03:20,000
He's just there
to get the mare ready.
61
00:03:20,083 --> 00:03:21,250
Take her kicks.
62
00:03:21,333 --> 00:03:24,083
Try to mount,
take some more kicks.
63
00:03:24,166 --> 00:03:25,750
By God, that teaser,
64
00:03:25,834 --> 00:03:29,250
he's got a rager going on
the whole dang time.
65
00:03:29,333 --> 00:03:30,959
But that doesn't matter.
66
00:03:31,041 --> 00:03:32,959
As soon as that dam is ready,
67
00:03:33,041 --> 00:03:35,750
we yank that teaser out of
there, lead the real stud in,
68
00:03:35,834 --> 00:03:38,166
and he gets to do
all the fucking.
69
00:03:38,250 --> 00:03:42,291
Teaser has to make do with some
mangy hay and a bucket of oats.
70
00:03:42,375 --> 00:03:42,875
Brutal.
71
00:03:42,959 --> 00:03:47,583
Yeah, nature often is.
72
00:03:47,667 --> 00:03:50,291
Right now, you're
that teaser, aren't you,
73
00:03:50,375 --> 00:03:51,959
with Dake prosecuting Axelrod?
74
00:03:52,041 --> 00:03:53,291
He's getting all the credit
75
00:03:53,375 --> 00:03:57,083
for putting the cuffs on him
and freezing his assets.
76
00:03:57,166 --> 00:04:00,166
Dake is fucking Axelrod
right now in front of everybody,
77
00:04:00,250 --> 00:04:02,250
and you,
you're back in the barn,
78
00:04:02,333 --> 00:04:05,583
nursing your rager
with a bucket of oats.
79
00:04:07,041 --> 00:04:08,166
Well, as long
as justice is served,
80
00:04:08,250 --> 00:04:10,500
credit doesn't matter
at all, General.
81
00:04:10,583 --> 00:04:12,917
Good.
82
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,333
Why don't you tell me
how it really makes you feel
83
00:04:16,417 --> 00:04:19,458
to see Dake with the lariat
in his grip?
84
00:04:22,875 --> 00:04:25,709
You'd like to tear that case
from him with your bare hands
85
00:04:25,792 --> 00:04:27,500
and leave him crying
in the gutter.
86
00:04:27,583 --> 00:04:30,542
Hmm?
87
00:04:30,625 --> 00:04:32,291
You got some wolf in you,
88
00:04:32,375 --> 00:04:35,166
which is why
you're not getting fired.
89
00:04:35,250 --> 00:04:36,500
Not quite yet, anyway.
90
00:04:36,583 --> 00:04:39,000
No, sir, you are among
the blessed few.
91
00:04:39,083 --> 00:04:41,333
It's end times
for most of your brethren,
92
00:04:41,417 --> 00:04:44,083
but you have not been
raptured yet.
93
00:04:44,166 --> 00:04:45,834
I've only kept on
seven U.S. attorneys
94
00:04:45,917 --> 00:04:48,166
since the president
was good enough to appoint me
95
00:04:48,250 --> 00:04:49,458
Attorney General
of these United States.
96
00:04:49,542 --> 00:04:53,375
I just wanted to make sure
our agendas are aligned
97
00:04:53,458 --> 00:04:55,625
when it comes to
that justice you spoke of
98
00:04:55,709 --> 00:04:57,083
moments ago.
99
00:04:57,166 --> 00:05:00,458
These high-profile cases you
and your people have working?
100
00:05:00,542 --> 00:05:02,375
Heap of Wall Street-related
matters.
101
00:05:02,458 --> 00:05:05,333
Well, the markets
are within my purview.
102
00:05:05,417 --> 00:05:06,083
Well, that may be,
103
00:05:06,166 --> 00:05:08,000
but I come
from baseball country.
104
00:05:08,083 --> 00:05:10,583
We learn at an early age
105
00:05:10,667 --> 00:05:11,875
that a tie goes to the runner.
106
00:05:11,959 --> 00:05:15,500
And that is how I want you to
think of our business community
107
00:05:15,583 --> 00:05:16,917
and its leaders from now on.
108
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,625
Now, look,
if there's a clear crime,
109
00:05:18,709 --> 00:05:20,500
then, by all means,
you go after it.
110
00:05:20,583 --> 00:05:24,458
But if it's a bang-bang play,
don't call a man out on a win.
111
00:05:24,542 --> 00:05:26,500
Just let that rally continue.
112
00:05:26,583 --> 00:05:30,417
I thought you come
from horse country.
113
00:05:33,542 --> 00:05:35,709
West Texas
contains multitudes, Chuck.
114
00:05:35,792 --> 00:05:37,792
Ahh.
115
00:05:37,875 --> 00:05:39,792
Prioritize the cases
that make sense.
116
00:05:39,875 --> 00:05:42,333
You know what to do
with the rest.
117
00:05:42,417 --> 00:05:45,834
They're marked
so there's no confusion.
118
00:05:47,875 --> 00:05:49,792
Come on, let's schottische on
into this ballroom.
119
00:05:49,875 --> 00:05:52,000
Come on.
120
00:07:15,041 --> 00:07:16,500
First order of business.
121
00:07:16,583 --> 00:07:19,291
There's going to be an idea
dinner night after tomorrow.
122
00:07:19,375 --> 00:07:21,333
- Platinum invite list...
- Fuck. Fuck that.
123
00:07:21,417 --> 00:07:23,250
Fuck having this meeting
without Axe here.
124
00:07:23,333 --> 00:07:24,375
Fuck all of this.
125
00:07:24,458 --> 00:07:27,125
- Easy, "Dollar" Bill.
- Nothing about this is easy.
126
00:07:27,208 --> 00:07:28,875
I've been humping my ass
into the city,
127
00:07:28,959 --> 00:07:31,417
hour and a half in traffic, into
this swanky Manhattan office,
128
00:07:31,500 --> 00:07:33,166
and you haven't called
a single meeting
129
00:07:33,250 --> 00:07:35,333
because the government's
frozen all the assets.
130
00:07:35,417 --> 00:07:37,041
So when you called this meeting,
131
00:07:37,125 --> 00:07:38,667
I assumed that meant
it was go-time
132
00:07:38,750 --> 00:07:40,458
and they've finally been
unfrozen.
133
00:07:40,542 --> 00:07:43,041
Not yet. Still frozen like
Otzi in the goddamn Alps.
134
00:07:43,125 --> 00:07:45,500
That's the Frozen Man, right?
135
00:07:48,792 --> 00:07:50,291
I need those funds to flow
136
00:07:50,375 --> 00:07:52,834
like the Kancamangus Rapids.
137
00:07:52,917 --> 00:07:55,166
I'm ready to rock and roll
on full auto
138
00:07:55,250 --> 00:07:56,709
right the fuck now.
139
00:07:58,959 --> 00:08:01,542
Where the hell is Axe?
140
00:08:08,875 --> 00:08:12,083
I'm over here!
141
00:08:27,041 --> 00:08:29,333
Cool bachelor pad... bro.
142
00:08:29,417 --> 00:08:33,959
I wasn't gonna stay in Westport.
143
00:08:34,041 --> 00:08:35,834
Guys like you head to the city
144
00:08:35,917 --> 00:08:37,709
when their marriages fall apart
145
00:08:37,792 --> 00:08:39,583
for the same reason
birds fly south
146
00:08:39,667 --> 00:08:42,333
instead of freezing
their asses off.
147
00:08:42,417 --> 00:08:43,458
It's in the genetic code.
148
00:08:43,542 --> 00:08:47,875
You're the first person
to see the place.
149
00:08:47,959 --> 00:08:49,667
Other than the kids.
150
00:08:49,750 --> 00:08:50,583
What do they think?
151
00:08:50,667 --> 00:08:54,125
It's stocked with video games
and snacks.
152
00:08:54,208 --> 00:08:55,667
They seem fine.
153
00:08:55,750 --> 00:08:58,542
How about you?
154
00:08:58,625 --> 00:09:01,625
Did you just change
out of the pajamas
155
00:09:01,709 --> 00:09:02,750
three minutes ago?
156
00:09:04,166 --> 00:09:06,625
Are you planning to come
to the office anytime soon?
157
00:09:06,709 --> 00:09:08,375
Yeah, once my assets
are unfrozen.
158
00:09:08,458 --> 00:09:09,542
Should everyone else
go home, too?
159
00:09:09,625 --> 00:09:12,625
Not if they want to stay
on the payroll.
160
00:09:12,709 --> 00:09:14,667
That's inspiring stuff.
161
00:09:14,750 --> 00:09:17,583
Must be what Kennedy said
to his staff
162
00:09:17,667 --> 00:09:18,583
during the Cuban missile crisis.
163
00:09:18,667 --> 00:09:23,083
Kennedy wasn't under
as much pressure as I am.
164
00:09:23,166 --> 00:09:26,542
I tell you, Bobby,
it's times like these I...
165
00:09:26,625 --> 00:09:30,000
I wish you hadn't fired
Dr. Gus.
166
00:09:30,083 --> 00:09:31,834
Why?
167
00:09:31,917 --> 00:09:34,667
Because this...
168
00:09:34,750 --> 00:09:36,917
is a fuckin' disaster.
169
00:09:39,792 --> 00:09:41,000
I get it!
I get it.
170
00:09:41,083 --> 00:09:42,750
You're worried that every day
you're on the sidelines
171
00:09:42,834 --> 00:09:46,500
makes it harder for you to make
your numbers for the year.
172
00:09:46,583 --> 00:09:48,667
Not harder.
Impossible.
173
00:09:48,750 --> 00:09:50,667
- Right?
- Well, know this.
174
00:09:50,750 --> 00:09:52,458
You won't fall
below the hard deck.
175
00:09:52,542 --> 00:09:55,375
No one is crashing and burning.
176
00:09:55,458 --> 00:09:58,208
If you come through for me now,
you will all make a bonus
177
00:09:58,291 --> 00:10:00,583
of at least what you made
last year.
178
00:10:05,083 --> 00:10:08,041
But first, you need to deliver
on today's mission.
179
00:10:08,125 --> 00:10:10,333
The idea dinner.
180
00:10:10,417 --> 00:10:14,000
Top-ten hedge-fund managers
in the city will be there.
181
00:10:14,083 --> 00:10:15,208
These rat fucks
182
00:10:15,291 --> 00:10:16,542
are how these billionaires
measure themselves.
183
00:10:16,625 --> 00:10:19,333
Even being in the room
confers upon you
184
00:10:19,417 --> 00:10:21,125
almost mythical status,
185
00:10:21,208 --> 00:10:23,083
like you're a knight
of the Round Table.
186
00:10:23,166 --> 00:10:24,917
- They ride in on horses?
- Maybachs.
187
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,875
I've heard Axe say he'd never go
to one of these hog shows.
188
00:10:27,959 --> 00:10:29,750
Yeah, that he couldn't
understand why anybody
189
00:10:29,834 --> 00:10:31,792
would want to sit with his
rivals and give away good plays.
190
00:10:31,875 --> 00:10:33,375
The whys
and goddamned wherefores
191
00:10:33,458 --> 00:10:36,208
are not for you to concern
your pretty little heads with.
192
00:10:36,291 --> 00:10:38,792
I think it's great
that we're invited, considering.
193
00:10:38,875 --> 00:10:41,667
We're kind of the most toxic
shop on the street right now.
194
00:10:41,750 --> 00:10:43,875
They begged him to come,
sent emissaries, gifts,
195
00:10:43,959 --> 00:10:47,250
all to ensure he'd be there
to share his insights.
196
00:10:47,333 --> 00:10:48,250
I'm so radioactive right now,
197
00:10:48,333 --> 00:10:50,667
I had to beg an invite
to this idea dinner.
198
00:10:50,750 --> 00:10:53,000
I need to understand
why you'd do that.
199
00:10:53,083 --> 00:10:54,500
Why do you think it matters?
200
00:10:54,583 --> 00:10:56,000
Look at where I am.
201
00:10:56,083 --> 00:10:58,583
Indicted,
thanks to your husband.
202
00:10:58,667 --> 00:11:02,125
Thanks to you giving in
to the worst of your instincts.
203
00:11:02,208 --> 00:11:03,792
Well, yeah, maybe that, too.
204
00:11:03,875 --> 00:11:05,792
But the point is
I'm about to stand trial.
205
00:11:05,875 --> 00:11:09,458
If I win,
I want a company to return to.
206
00:11:09,542 --> 00:11:11,709
The government,
by freezing my funds,
207
00:11:11,792 --> 00:11:14,417
is trying to tell the story
that we're crooked.
208
00:11:14,500 --> 00:11:15,583
They know we're not.
209
00:11:15,667 --> 00:11:19,250
They know they spent years
trying and failing to prove it,
210
00:11:19,333 --> 00:11:20,333
but the story is being written
211
00:11:20,417 --> 00:11:21,583
every day now.
212
00:11:21,667 --> 00:11:24,125
So events like this idea dinner,
213
00:11:24,208 --> 00:11:25,417
they also tell a story.
214
00:11:25,500 --> 00:11:26,625
So if I'm there,
I'm telling the story
215
00:11:26,709 --> 00:11:29,750
that I'm not cowering,
I'm not hiding,
216
00:11:29,834 --> 00:11:30,917
I'm not defeated.
217
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,333
But I can't just show up.
I have to dominate it.
218
00:11:33,417 --> 00:11:35,083
The only thing is,
219
00:11:35,166 --> 00:11:38,291
for the first time in my life,
220
00:11:38,375 --> 00:11:42,625
I don't think I can.
221
00:11:42,709 --> 00:11:44,583
Fear?
222
00:11:44,667 --> 00:11:45,834
Rage.
223
00:11:45,917 --> 00:11:49,667
We need to arm him with an idea
that will shock and awe
224
00:11:49,750 --> 00:11:52,458
so the dinner ends
with Axe's idea
225
00:11:52,542 --> 00:11:54,500
e-mailed and texted
from firm to firm,
226
00:11:54,583 --> 00:11:56,792
leaving no doubt
we are still the sharpest.
227
00:11:56,875 --> 00:11:58,583
So go generate some speedballs
he can dazzle with
228
00:11:58,667 --> 00:12:02,667
or go the fuck home for good.
229
00:12:09,959 --> 00:12:12,583
You're not authorized
to guarantee bonuses.
230
00:12:12,667 --> 00:12:14,917
Your ego just wrote a check
your body can't cash.
231
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,458
I appreciate you waiting
until after the meeting
232
00:12:16,542 --> 00:12:18,625
to hit me with that one.
233
00:12:18,709 --> 00:12:19,750
I know holding back
doesn't come naturally.
234
00:12:19,834 --> 00:12:22,709
Well, I was so shocked
you could quote "Top Gun,"
235
00:12:22,792 --> 00:12:23,959
it took me a second to respond.
236
00:12:24,041 --> 00:12:26,750
I figure speaking their language
is part of the job now.
237
00:12:26,834 --> 00:12:27,625
But none of this
is going to matter
238
00:12:27,709 --> 00:12:30,291
unless Axe gets us
back in the game.
239
00:12:30,375 --> 00:12:33,458
I have our best man
working on it right now.
240
00:12:33,542 --> 00:12:34,625
I want to run a Dickens process.
241
00:12:34,709 --> 00:12:37,667
Tony Robbins took me through it
a few years back, so...
242
00:12:37,750 --> 00:12:38,333
Sit down.
243
00:12:44,208 --> 00:12:46,375
I take you to specific
moments in your life,
244
00:12:46,458 --> 00:12:47,834
use them to jump
into the future.
245
00:12:47,917 --> 00:12:49,500
You get to experience
different possible versions
246
00:12:49,583 --> 00:12:51,625
of your life, like in...
247
00:12:51,709 --> 00:12:55,166
Like "A Christmas Carol,"
hence, Dickens.
248
00:12:55,250 --> 00:12:57,166
Let's find a moment early on
249
00:12:57,250 --> 00:12:59,417
when your rage served you.
250
00:12:59,500 --> 00:13:01,583
Close your eyes.
251
00:13:03,542 --> 00:13:07,125
Let it come to you.
252
00:13:10,250 --> 00:13:13,375
Fifth grade.
253
00:13:13,458 --> 00:13:14,875
I needed money.
254
00:13:14,959 --> 00:13:17,750
There were these rich
eighth-grade pricks
255
00:13:17,834 --> 00:13:18,834
from Harrison.
256
00:13:18,917 --> 00:13:20,667
God, I hated their stupid faces.
257
00:13:20,750 --> 00:13:23,625
I had an Islander jersey
and a Koho hockey stick.
258
00:13:23,709 --> 00:13:26,250
I signed 'em Mike Bossy
and Bryan Trottier,
259
00:13:26,333 --> 00:13:28,166
and the dickbags bought 'em.
260
00:13:28,250 --> 00:13:29,291
What'd you get?
261
00:13:29,375 --> 00:13:32,750
$300 cash, new sneakers, Atari.
262
00:13:32,834 --> 00:13:34,750
When they found out,
they went to town on me
263
00:13:34,834 --> 00:13:35,583
like Dave "The Hammer" Schultz.
264
00:13:35,667 --> 00:13:40,208
God, I got so angry at them,
265
00:13:40,291 --> 00:13:42,542
my parents
for not having enough money,
266
00:13:42,625 --> 00:13:45,417
myself for getting caught.
267
00:13:45,500 --> 00:13:48,583
That rage...
268
00:13:48,667 --> 00:13:51,041
grew in me.
269
00:13:51,125 --> 00:13:53,375
It worked like jet fuel
for years.
270
00:13:53,458 --> 00:13:55,417
It was useful.
271
00:13:55,500 --> 00:13:58,250
Yeah. Fuck, yeah, it was.
Got me here.
272
00:13:58,333 --> 00:14:01,041
Your brain, instincts,
market feel, all that,
273
00:14:01,125 --> 00:14:02,166
had more to do with it.
274
00:14:02,250 --> 00:14:03,709
But for the moment, let's agree
275
00:14:03,792 --> 00:14:05,417
that the rage worked for a time.
276
00:14:05,500 --> 00:14:08,166
But let's look for a moment
when it was the wrong tool
277
00:14:08,250 --> 00:14:10,250
and it cost you
more than it made you.
278
00:14:10,333 --> 00:14:12,250
We're gonna talk
about your husband now?
279
00:14:12,333 --> 00:14:13,917
No, about you
280
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,709
and how when you allow
your anger
281
00:14:16,792 --> 00:14:19,250
to make you blind
to consequences,
282
00:14:19,333 --> 00:14:22,542
it shuts off those other
more crucial skills.
283
00:14:25,667 --> 00:14:27,375
Let's take a moment
284
00:14:27,458 --> 00:14:29,208
from your personal life
285
00:14:29,291 --> 00:14:32,792
with Lara.
286
00:14:32,875 --> 00:14:35,875
She'd say I allowed my anger
to throw everything away,
287
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,333
to crack the foundation
of trust.
288
00:14:38,417 --> 00:14:41,333
So what if you could go
back into your past?
289
00:14:41,417 --> 00:14:44,125
How would you handle
that memorabilia sale?
290
00:14:44,208 --> 00:14:46,125
My past?
291
00:14:46,208 --> 00:14:47,083
Nah, I wouldn't change it.
292
00:14:49,542 --> 00:14:51,667
Good. We can't.
293
00:14:51,750 --> 00:14:53,709
But holding on to the feeling
294
00:14:53,792 --> 00:14:55,792
of that rage,
look to the future.
295
00:14:55,875 --> 00:14:57,667
Where do you see yourself
in five years
296
00:14:57,750 --> 00:15:00,125
if you carry on this way,
297
00:15:00,208 --> 00:15:04,417
if you continue to carry
the weight of this anger?
298
00:15:04,500 --> 00:15:07,542
Where are you in 10?
299
00:15:07,625 --> 00:15:09,834
20?
300
00:15:09,917 --> 00:15:11,959
Are you happy?
301
00:15:12,041 --> 00:15:14,792
Are you fulfilled?
302
00:15:14,875 --> 00:15:18,875
Or are you lonely, bitter?
303
00:15:18,959 --> 00:15:22,041
Lashing out.
304
00:15:22,125 --> 00:15:23,917
Fuck Dickens!
305
00:15:24,959 --> 00:15:27,542
All I see is jail
306
00:15:27,625 --> 00:15:30,041
and the company I spent
my lifetime building up
307
00:15:30,125 --> 00:15:31,000
reduced to rubble.
308
00:15:31,083 --> 00:15:33,709
Look, I want to do this
with you.
309
00:15:33,792 --> 00:15:36,333
I want to believe
that it can help.
310
00:15:36,417 --> 00:15:38,834
But I just don't think I can.
311
00:15:38,917 --> 00:15:42,333
Okay.
312
00:15:42,417 --> 00:15:46,166
But now you know exactly
where your focus needs to be,
313
00:15:46,250 --> 00:15:47,667
where you need to be.
314
00:15:47,750 --> 00:15:49,458
At the office.
315
00:15:49,542 --> 00:15:52,041
And when you get back home
from this conclave,
316
00:15:52,125 --> 00:15:53,959
make sure you get
with your people.
317
00:15:54,041 --> 00:15:57,625
Make sure we are all
on the same bill of lading.
318
00:15:57,709 --> 00:15:59,208
There's a new sheriff in town.
319
00:15:59,291 --> 00:16:00,959
You are all my deputies.
320
00:16:01,041 --> 00:16:03,834
Gonna be one hell
of a turkey shoot!
321
00:16:03,917 --> 00:16:05,917
Thank you!
322
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,166
God bless you.
323
00:16:10,625 --> 00:16:12,834
Are we still employed?
324
00:16:12,917 --> 00:16:14,333
We seem to be.
325
00:16:14,417 --> 00:16:17,333
Mm. And the shift in agenda
he was talking about,
326
00:16:17,417 --> 00:16:18,208
that hits us?
327
00:16:18,291 --> 00:16:20,500
Mm-hmm, but we press on,
as always.
328
00:16:20,583 --> 00:16:23,917
I'll handle the optics,
and we'll manage up the chain.
329
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,208
Just so you know,
I'm as nimble as I need to be.
330
00:16:27,291 --> 00:16:28,417
I count on that.
331
00:16:28,500 --> 00:16:30,375
This is the fissile material.
332
00:16:30,458 --> 00:16:31,917
You'll know what to do.
333
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:32,875
Well, well, well.
334
00:16:32,959 --> 00:16:35,834
Bryan Connerty and his new lord.
335
00:16:35,917 --> 00:16:37,834
May your reign be long
and fruitful.
336
00:16:37,917 --> 00:16:40,583
I serve at the pleasure...
337
00:16:40,667 --> 00:16:42,417
Don't we all?
338
00:16:42,500 --> 00:16:44,083
Freezing the assets?
339
00:16:44,166 --> 00:16:47,083
Now, that's an Ivan Koloff bear
hug you're putting on the man.
340
00:16:47,166 --> 00:16:49,250
You're squeezing the breath
out of him.
341
00:16:49,333 --> 00:16:50,750
I was more Iron Sheik era.
342
00:16:50,834 --> 00:16:51,750
All right, fine.
343
00:16:51,834 --> 00:16:54,375
It's a camel clutch,
and a hell of a good one.
344
00:16:54,458 --> 00:16:56,125
You seem pretty comfy
at his elbow.
345
00:16:56,208 --> 00:16:58,041
That's the job.
346
00:16:58,125 --> 00:16:58,834
Until it ain't.
347
00:16:58,917 --> 00:17:01,667
Man, ain't that the truth?
348
00:17:01,750 --> 00:17:04,417
But you can't let this monster
have a chance to recover.
349
00:17:04,500 --> 00:17:06,333
Yes. I'll use my leverage
and strength
350
00:17:06,417 --> 00:17:08,250
and get something valuable
in return.
351
00:17:08,333 --> 00:17:09,792
I know my job, Chuck.
352
00:17:09,875 --> 00:17:13,041
And I also know the real reason
you need this to go quickly.
353
00:17:13,125 --> 00:17:16,083
Oh? And what do you imagine
that is?
354
00:17:16,166 --> 00:17:17,834
You are like a man who committed
a crime of passion.
355
00:17:17,917 --> 00:17:21,917
In the moment, it felt so right.
356
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,375
But in the morning,
357
00:17:23,458 --> 00:17:25,709
all he sees is the blood
splashed on the walls
358
00:17:25,792 --> 00:17:28,000
of his dead lover's bedroom,
359
00:17:28,083 --> 00:17:30,291
and he just wants it
all to go away,
360
00:17:30,375 --> 00:17:31,917
but it can't.
361
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,125
I'm going to prosecute the case
to the full extent of the law
362
00:17:34,208 --> 00:17:37,417
without breaking the terms
of our agreement.
363
00:17:37,500 --> 00:17:39,417
So if you don't clean up
all the blood
364
00:17:39,500 --> 00:17:40,959
before the cops get there,
365
00:17:41,041 --> 00:17:43,667
I cannot guarantee your DNA
stays out of the courtroom.
366
00:17:43,750 --> 00:17:47,333
This is a conversation we need
to finish somewhere else...
367
00:17:47,417 --> 00:17:48,500
private.
368
00:18:05,750 --> 00:18:06,917
Hey.
369
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:07,375
Hey.
370
00:18:08,750 --> 00:18:10,458
You ready?
371
00:18:10,542 --> 00:18:11,750
Yeah.
372
00:18:11,834 --> 00:18:12,375
Let's do this.
373
00:18:14,208 --> 00:18:17,166
And newly appointed
U.S. Treasury Secretary
374
00:18:17,250 --> 00:18:19,917
Todd Krakow was sworn in today.
375
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,291
Look at that preening fuck.
376
00:18:21,375 --> 00:18:25,834
You know, his name on money may
actually make me like him less.
377
00:18:25,917 --> 00:18:28,208
Hello, Bobby.
378
00:18:29,333 --> 00:18:30,834
Birch!
379
00:18:30,917 --> 00:18:31,500
- Axe.
- Wendy.
380
00:18:31,583 --> 00:18:33,667
Lara.
381
00:18:35,917 --> 00:18:38,291
I'm here to go over my assets.
382
00:18:38,375 --> 00:18:40,625
You were supposed to bring
a business manager
383
00:18:40,709 --> 00:18:41,750
or accountant, not a competitor.
384
00:18:41,834 --> 00:18:44,500
I only compete with currently
active hedge funds.
385
00:18:44,583 --> 00:18:46,291
Ding, ding, ding!
I want a clean fight.
386
00:18:46,375 --> 00:18:47,458
Protect yourselves at all times.
387
00:18:47,542 --> 00:18:49,166
There'll be no
standing eight count.
388
00:18:49,250 --> 00:18:50,208
Give Lara full access
to the books.
389
00:18:50,291 --> 00:18:53,208
She has a right to see
the state of things.
390
00:18:53,291 --> 00:18:55,834
As you wish, my liege.
391
00:19:01,291 --> 00:19:04,542
Run her through
where the bodies are buried.
392
00:19:07,750 --> 00:19:10,333
This column,
393
00:19:10,417 --> 00:19:12,250
this one, this one, and this one
394
00:19:12,333 --> 00:19:14,208
are the main holdings.
395
00:19:14,291 --> 00:19:16,041
There you have it.
396
00:19:16,125 --> 00:19:18,542
I see the balance
on the accounts.
397
00:19:18,625 --> 00:19:20,417
And what a soaring,
fat balance it is.
398
00:19:20,500 --> 00:19:22,041
We need to see the trade history
399
00:19:22,125 --> 00:19:24,333
leading up to the redemptions
and cash positions.
400
00:19:24,417 --> 00:19:25,375
Sure. Let me bring up
a different screen.
401
00:19:25,458 --> 00:19:27,375
Like Squanto should have said
to the pilgrims,
402
00:19:27,458 --> 00:19:30,291
"Get the fuck out of here."
Wags, come on.
403
00:19:30,375 --> 00:19:31,458
It's proprietary.
You're not seeing it.
404
00:19:31,542 --> 00:19:35,125
- This is bullshit, Wags.
- Lara, we're not having a fight.
405
00:19:35,208 --> 00:19:36,917
I'm telling you, you're not
gonna see that shit.
406
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:37,875
As is often the case,
407
00:19:37,959 --> 00:19:39,333
the longer you can hold off,
the more likely
408
00:19:39,417 --> 00:19:42,250
you'll be screaming in pleasure
at the end.
409
00:19:42,333 --> 00:19:43,917
We're not making a porno, Orrin,
410
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,375
though I appreciate the effort
to make me laugh.
411
00:19:45,458 --> 00:19:49,375
My father always said laughter
was the best medicine,
412
00:19:49,458 --> 00:19:51,166
which is why I was so confused
413
00:19:51,250 --> 00:19:53,875
when I finally tried cocaine
in the '80s.
414
00:19:55,667 --> 00:19:57,750
Okay.
You lightened my mood.
415
00:19:57,834 --> 00:20:00,166
Now make me really happy
and tell me how we expose
416
00:20:00,250 --> 00:20:01,750
all the shit that Rhoades pulled
417
00:20:01,834 --> 00:20:02,834
to suck me in.
418
00:20:02,917 --> 00:20:05,250
Easier said, Bobby,
because we can't introduce that
419
00:20:05,333 --> 00:20:08,250
without confirming
your actions as a response.
420
00:20:08,333 --> 00:20:10,250
We'd be virtually admitting
your role.
421
00:20:10,333 --> 00:20:14,041
What he did,
it's a fucking crime.
422
00:20:14,125 --> 00:20:17,000
Maybe.
But it's not a defense.
423
00:20:17,083 --> 00:20:18,458
All right, get to the rest.
424
00:20:18,542 --> 00:20:23,083
Let's get our new head
of compliance up here.
425
00:20:47,291 --> 00:20:48,834
The answer man is here.
426
00:20:48,917 --> 00:20:52,333
The charges carry
a long potential sentence.
427
00:20:52,417 --> 00:20:53,375
15 to 20 years
428
00:20:53,458 --> 00:20:57,000
and tens of millions
in fines, of course.
429
00:20:57,083 --> 00:20:59,542
They're using the locked-up
money to distract us
430
00:20:59,625 --> 00:21:02,208
as they meticulously build
their case.
431
00:21:02,291 --> 00:21:04,792
They are using the locked money
to do three things.
432
00:21:04,875 --> 00:21:06,166
One, to make me take a plea.
433
00:21:06,250 --> 00:21:08,583
Two, to make it hard
for my people so they'll quit.
434
00:21:08,667 --> 00:21:11,125
And, three, to spread the word
through implication
435
00:21:11,208 --> 00:21:13,041
that this is about more than
my actions against Ice Juice,
436
00:21:13,125 --> 00:21:15,667
that we are
an illegal enterprise.
437
00:21:15,750 --> 00:21:16,792
Turn on the telestrator,
438
00:21:16,875 --> 00:21:19,875
because you just diagramed
the shit out of this.
439
00:21:22,375 --> 00:21:24,333
How long can they really
keep it frozen?
440
00:21:24,417 --> 00:21:25,375
Wrong question.
441
00:21:25,458 --> 00:21:27,208
This is where
the holding out comes in.
442
00:21:27,291 --> 00:21:29,458
Don't let anyone know you care.
443
00:21:29,542 --> 00:21:32,834
Mm, we'll find a way
to get you liquid again
444
00:21:32,917 --> 00:21:34,333
in four to six months.
445
00:21:34,417 --> 00:21:36,041
Months? Fuck that.
446
00:21:36,125 --> 00:21:38,166
There is one idea that might
get it done right away,
447
00:21:38,250 --> 00:21:41,375
but it's one
you're going to hate.
448
00:21:41,458 --> 00:21:45,375
Give up your so-called
license to trade.
449
00:21:45,458 --> 00:21:48,667
Walk away from the table.
Cash in your chips.
450
00:21:48,750 --> 00:21:52,083
They'd be forced to release
the bulk of your money.
451
00:21:52,166 --> 00:21:53,417
That is the only angle
that I see.
452
00:21:53,500 --> 00:21:56,959
And if it's the only angle
that I see,
453
00:21:57,041 --> 00:21:58,667
it's the only angle there is.
454
00:21:58,750 --> 00:22:00,208
You agree to stop trading,
you personally,
455
00:22:00,291 --> 00:22:03,166
and they give you back
your money.
456
00:22:03,250 --> 00:22:05,625
We would set something up
where Axe Cap trades it
457
00:22:05,709 --> 00:22:06,542
without your direction.
458
00:22:06,625 --> 00:22:09,250
It would function
like a blind trust,
459
00:22:09,333 --> 00:22:11,083
but the language would be such
460
00:22:11,166 --> 00:22:13,709
and they'd be releasing
so much money back to you
461
00:22:13,792 --> 00:22:15,000
that if you violated it...
462
00:22:15,083 --> 00:22:17,291
Oh, that is a bozo no-no.
463
00:22:17,375 --> 00:22:20,750
Do that and you would earn
yourself a lifetime ban...
464
00:22:20,834 --> 00:22:22,417
and more.
465
00:22:24,583 --> 00:22:26,542
No.
466
00:22:26,625 --> 00:22:27,083
No fuckin' way.
467
00:22:27,166 --> 00:22:28,500
I'll never do that.
468
00:22:28,583 --> 00:22:31,583
If I give up my ability
to trade, I'm agreeing
469
00:22:31,667 --> 00:22:33,583
that they're right and I built
all this by cheating.
470
00:22:36,417 --> 00:22:38,917
I might as well give up
my license to breathe.
471
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,917
You guys have to work it out
yourselves.
472
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,542
Do not put me
in the middle of it.
473
00:22:42,625 --> 00:22:43,458
What the fuck is...
474
00:22:46,291 --> 00:22:47,166
What's the problem?
475
00:22:47,250 --> 00:22:49,583
Your lap dog is not cooperating.
476
00:22:49,667 --> 00:22:50,792
Wags, although Lara
should have faith,
477
00:22:50,875 --> 00:22:54,208
because I've shown I'm pretty
good at making a dollar,
478
00:22:54,291 --> 00:22:55,875
she has a right to choose
and make her own decisions,
479
00:22:55,959 --> 00:22:57,834
like I told you.
480
00:22:57,917 --> 00:22:59,417
I thought you were telling me
with a wink.
481
00:22:59,500 --> 00:23:00,959
That's why I played back
with the "liege" stuff.
482
00:23:01,041 --> 00:23:02,667
- Did I wink at you, ever?
- Not an actual wink, but...
483
00:23:02,750 --> 00:23:05,208
Are you planning on giving him
your money to manage?
484
00:23:05,291 --> 00:23:07,792
If it ever gets unfrozen,
I might.
485
00:23:07,875 --> 00:23:10,208
- Why?
- For general health, financial,
486
00:23:10,291 --> 00:23:11,500
and for things between us.
487
00:23:11,583 --> 00:23:13,500
Now that I'm able
to take outside money,
488
00:23:13,583 --> 00:23:14,834
I thought I'd start
with friends and family.
489
00:23:14,917 --> 00:23:16,750
We're neither.
490
00:23:16,834 --> 00:23:19,041
Listen, Lara,
I won't micromanage you.
491
00:23:19,125 --> 00:23:21,667
But if you really plan
492
00:23:21,750 --> 00:23:24,250
on giving billions of dollars
to this stock jockey,
493
00:23:24,333 --> 00:23:25,375
ask him this,
494
00:23:25,458 --> 00:23:28,834
how he's codified the behavioral
heuristics at his firm
495
00:23:28,917 --> 00:23:31,458
from stock selection
to position sizing
496
00:23:31,542 --> 00:23:33,959
to market timing
to risk management.
497
00:23:34,041 --> 00:23:34,750
He hasn't,
498
00:23:34,834 --> 00:23:38,041
because his
decision-flow process
499
00:23:38,125 --> 00:23:40,083
is Google, Exxon,
Proctor & Gamble,
500
00:23:40,166 --> 00:23:42,166
same as any old lady
in Kansas City,
501
00:23:42,250 --> 00:23:44,583
except she won't charge you
two and twenty for it.
502
00:23:44,667 --> 00:23:45,667
We are all in
the same game, Axe,
503
00:23:45,750 --> 00:23:48,750
protecting assets
and trying to find that edge.
504
00:23:48,834 --> 00:23:50,875
You have about as much edge
as Mister Rogers.
505
00:23:50,959 --> 00:23:51,917
Okay, guys!
506
00:23:53,333 --> 00:23:55,875
Okay, you go on ahead,
sweetheart.
507
00:23:55,959 --> 00:23:58,500
You look into everything
you want with Birch,
508
00:23:58,583 --> 00:24:01,333
and I will support
whatever you decide.
509
00:24:02,959 --> 00:24:03,834
Thank you, Bobby.
510
00:24:03,917 --> 00:24:06,667
You really want me
to let 'em into the books
511
00:24:06,750 --> 00:24:07,667
and see the trades?
512
00:24:07,750 --> 00:24:09,750
Lots of guys watch
Bruce Lee movies.
513
00:24:09,834 --> 00:24:11,625
Doesn't mean you can do karate.
514
00:24:15,208 --> 00:24:17,667
Boot up the screen.
515
00:24:20,458 --> 00:24:22,375
I still can't believe
he made that move.
516
00:24:22,458 --> 00:24:23,750
It was the smart thing to do.
517
00:24:23,834 --> 00:24:27,458
If I'd known what you were
doing, I would have never...
518
00:24:27,542 --> 00:24:28,667
Yes. No.
519
00:24:28,750 --> 00:24:30,792
I mean, if you'd known,
if you'd told me,
520
00:24:30,875 --> 00:24:32,000
if I'd known...
521
00:24:32,083 --> 00:24:34,667
It was a moment of peak.
I'm gonna stop and tell you?
522
00:24:34,750 --> 00:24:35,625
Wish you had.
523
00:24:35,709 --> 00:24:37,250
You were very convincing.
524
00:24:37,333 --> 00:24:40,041
But, in a way, it all had to
play itself out, didn't it?
525
00:24:40,125 --> 00:24:41,875
If I had known
what you were gonna do...
526
00:24:41,959 --> 00:24:44,208
- You'd have tried to stop me.
- Yes, I would have,
527
00:24:44,291 --> 00:24:45,583
and I might have succeeded.
528
00:24:45,667 --> 00:24:48,375
Well, that would have been
better in one way...
529
00:24:48,458 --> 00:24:50,458
but worse in all the others...
530
00:24:50,542 --> 00:24:55,208
because now we are home,
and we are a "we" again.
531
00:24:55,291 --> 00:24:56,875
And if I hadn't have done
a thing,
532
00:24:56,959 --> 00:24:57,709
who knows how I'd have felt,
533
00:24:57,792 --> 00:24:59,166
what resentments
might have festered?
534
00:24:59,250 --> 00:25:00,208
But you did and I did,
535
00:25:00,291 --> 00:25:02,917
and there is nothing festering.
536
00:25:05,250 --> 00:25:07,458
Except for the thing
I'm off to deal with now.
537
00:25:07,542 --> 00:25:08,041
Yeah.
538
00:25:08,125 --> 00:25:09,625
Except that.
539
00:25:14,667 --> 00:25:16,500
Thank you.
540
00:25:18,166 --> 00:25:20,917
Your wife,
she still down in D.C.?
541
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,417
Yes, outside.
542
00:25:22,500 --> 00:25:23,667
You must miss her.
543
00:25:23,750 --> 00:25:26,792
We talk every day,
and the train ride is only...
544
00:25:26,875 --> 00:25:28,917
Sure it is.
But the problem is
545
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,041
that the free flow
of information,
546
00:25:31,125 --> 00:25:35,083
the casual details of the day,
can get lost.
547
00:25:35,166 --> 00:25:36,375
You know,
for a time, even though
548
00:25:36,458 --> 00:25:39,750
we did reside in the same house,
my wife and I lived that way.
549
00:25:39,834 --> 00:25:42,583
You're telling me that you
and your wife have no secrets?
550
00:25:42,667 --> 00:25:44,333
Oh I'm certain
some are still lurking.
551
00:25:44,417 --> 00:25:47,750
We all mask certain emotions,
552
00:25:47,834 --> 00:25:50,125
often our most intense ones,
553
00:25:50,208 --> 00:25:51,250
like Bjorn Borg did.
554
00:25:51,333 --> 00:25:52,709
But like Borg,
555
00:25:52,792 --> 00:25:56,834
eventually, it'll end up
costing you everything,
556
00:25:56,917 --> 00:25:58,625
so we're digging in, right?
557
00:25:58,709 --> 00:25:59,750
Digging in.
Ah.
558
00:25:59,834 --> 00:26:02,792
She told you
about her short on Ice Juice.
559
00:26:02,875 --> 00:26:04,458
That's the kind of bond we have.
560
00:26:04,542 --> 00:26:05,792
So you are here to tell me
561
00:26:05,875 --> 00:26:07,792
she will turn state's evidence
562
00:26:07,875 --> 00:26:09,667
to avoid being the subject
of prosecution?
563
00:26:09,750 --> 00:26:12,875
She is a co-conspirator
in Axe's scheme.
564
00:26:12,959 --> 00:26:14,083
No, sir.
565
00:26:14,166 --> 00:26:17,583
She's safe due to the terms
of the deal you and I struck.
566
00:26:17,667 --> 00:26:20,166
That was about your father.
567
00:26:20,250 --> 00:26:23,041
I said me and my family.
568
00:26:23,125 --> 00:26:24,709
And you assented.
569
00:26:24,792 --> 00:26:28,583
And now you will say
this is unduly burdensome,
570
00:26:28,667 --> 00:26:31,375
which will force me to say
that it is less so
571
00:26:31,458 --> 00:26:33,250
than remaining a glorified
Internal Affairs grunt
572
00:26:33,333 --> 00:26:36,166
working out a dank office
573
00:26:36,250 --> 00:26:39,000
on the fringes
of our capital city.
574
00:26:39,083 --> 00:26:40,000
And, as you saw,
575
00:26:40,083 --> 00:26:41,667
Jock Jeff coat is taking
my counsel these days
576
00:26:41,750 --> 00:26:45,041
on who should be in
and who should be out.
577
00:26:45,125 --> 00:26:47,250
There's only so much compromise
578
00:26:47,333 --> 00:26:49,166
of my own system of morality
579
00:26:49,250 --> 00:26:51,291
that I can swallow.
580
00:26:51,375 --> 00:26:55,500
I happen to know
you're a Calvinist.
581
00:26:55,583 --> 00:27:00,291
You believe we're all fallen
beyond any hope for redemption.
582
00:27:00,375 --> 00:27:02,500
So answer me this.
583
00:27:02,583 --> 00:27:06,417
What's one more demerit
for a friend allied with you
584
00:27:06,500 --> 00:27:08,250
against a common foe?
585
00:27:08,333 --> 00:27:09,542
Ecumenically,
that's not exactly right,
586
00:27:09,625 --> 00:27:12,083
and it's borderline offensive.
587
00:27:12,166 --> 00:27:14,083
But, also, it's...
588
00:27:14,166 --> 00:27:17,375
pretty much true.
589
00:27:17,458 --> 00:27:20,959
Okay. I'll do all I can
590
00:27:21,041 --> 00:27:23,500
to keep your wife out of it,
591
00:27:23,583 --> 00:27:25,125
but now you owe me.
592
00:27:25,208 --> 00:27:26,375
Name it.
593
00:27:26,458 --> 00:27:28,375
I'll hold it in reserve.
594
00:27:28,458 --> 00:27:31,542
A favor to be named later.
595
00:27:33,333 --> 00:27:35,208
Look at you, huh?
596
00:27:35,291 --> 00:27:37,959
Muckin' in.
597
00:27:38,041 --> 00:27:39,458
Done.
598
00:27:39,542 --> 00:27:41,542
This is all on background,
no attribution.
599
00:27:41,625 --> 00:27:43,750
Yep, until
you want to go on record.
600
00:27:43,834 --> 00:27:45,291
Good. You know, if they
were gonna charge the firm,
601
00:27:45,375 --> 00:27:47,500
they would have.
602
00:27:47,583 --> 00:27:49,875
Well, isn't their argument
that this one instance
603
00:27:49,959 --> 00:27:52,625
could be the tip of the iceberg,
that they need to go
604
00:27:52,709 --> 00:27:55,417
through all the old trades
to see if there's a pattern?
605
00:27:55,500 --> 00:27:58,417
But that could take months.
It's harassment, Randy.
606
00:27:58,500 --> 00:27:59,917
They've already spent years
607
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:00,917
going through
all those old trades,
608
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,917
trying to make a case,
and they've failed.
609
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,625
Now they've come up with this
story about me and sabotage,
610
00:28:06,709 --> 00:28:08,208
which you will see is false.
611
00:28:08,291 --> 00:28:09,959
Look, I shorted that company
612
00:28:10,041 --> 00:28:12,583
'cause I saw a faulty process
and bad financials,
613
00:28:12,667 --> 00:28:15,458
and I'm being penalized because
the markets agreed with me.
614
00:28:15,542 --> 00:28:16,500
I was set up.
615
00:28:16,583 --> 00:28:18,792
Now, soon you'll have
all these details,
616
00:28:18,875 --> 00:28:19,917
but what they are doing
right now
617
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,625
is they're trying to ruin
not only my reputation
618
00:28:23,709 --> 00:28:26,250
but that of everyone
who works at Axe Capital,
619
00:28:26,333 --> 00:28:29,792
and that is the story
you should be digging into.
620
00:28:29,875 --> 00:28:31,125
Hi.
621
00:28:31,208 --> 00:28:32,417
Want dinner?
622
00:28:32,500 --> 00:28:35,375
Do we need to do that?
623
00:28:42,166 --> 00:28:43,542
Hey.
624
00:28:43,625 --> 00:28:46,166
On Axelrod, I could use to see
the transaction records
625
00:28:46,250 --> 00:28:48,250
of all the people
who bought or sold stock
626
00:28:48,333 --> 00:28:49,709
in the Ice Juice IPO,
the victims in this thing.
627
00:28:49,792 --> 00:28:52,000
You mean besides the people
who were poisoned?
628
00:28:52,083 --> 00:28:55,375
Yeah, they were about
the only ones who got paid.
629
00:28:55,458 --> 00:28:58,208
S.E.C. said you were holding
the records for some reason.
630
00:28:58,291 --> 00:28:59,959
I've got forensic
financial analysts
631
00:29:00,041 --> 00:29:01,458
combing through all that now.
632
00:29:01,542 --> 00:29:04,375
I didn't want you to, uh,
bog down in those details.
633
00:29:04,458 --> 00:29:06,625
I like knowing
the minutiae in my cases.
634
00:29:06,709 --> 00:29:09,750
Good, as I would expect you to.
635
00:29:09,834 --> 00:29:11,875
I'll get the results to you
ASAP.
636
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:12,750
- Great.
- Okay.
637
00:29:12,834 --> 00:29:15,458
You know, I was just wondering,
638
00:29:15,542 --> 00:29:17,667
who'd you get the initial tip
from that started all this?
639
00:29:17,750 --> 00:29:20,333
I should interview him or her.
640
00:29:20,417 --> 00:29:22,625
I understand why you're asking,
641
00:29:22,709 --> 00:29:25,000
but my tipster is not exactly
642
00:29:25,083 --> 00:29:27,667
Blue Horseshoe
loves Anacott Steel.
643
00:29:27,750 --> 00:29:28,667
Just a foot soldier.
644
00:29:28,750 --> 00:29:30,792
It was enough info
to get the FBI going
645
00:29:30,875 --> 00:29:32,542
but not a firsthand witness.
646
00:29:32,625 --> 00:29:35,667
If there were material value,
I would share the name.
647
00:29:35,750 --> 00:29:37,750
Of course.
I know you would.
648
00:29:39,500 --> 00:29:43,083
I am glad that I asked Chuck
to send you to me.
649
00:29:43,166 --> 00:29:44,792
I need your expertise.
650
00:29:44,875 --> 00:29:46,834
Glad to be here, boss.
651
00:29:46,917 --> 00:29:49,667
Ugh. Don't call me "boss."
We're peers.
652
00:29:49,750 --> 00:29:51,500
In a hierarchy, yes,
but colleagues.
653
00:29:51,583 --> 00:29:54,250
Call me "Oliver."
654
00:29:54,333 --> 00:29:57,792
You got it.
655
00:29:57,875 --> 00:30:01,375
Never trust an officer
who doesn't ask you to salute.
656
00:30:01,458 --> 00:30:02,500
It means that
what he does demand of you
657
00:30:02,583 --> 00:30:04,709
is gonna be a lot worse.
658
00:30:04,792 --> 00:30:05,834
Dake.
659
00:30:05,917 --> 00:30:07,000
All of it.
660
00:30:07,083 --> 00:30:09,750
You know,
you're in law school now.
661
00:30:09,834 --> 00:30:11,875
How does this fact pattern
smell to you?
662
00:30:11,959 --> 00:30:13,959
I get transferred
to prosecute Axelrod,
663
00:30:14,041 --> 00:30:15,875
but then he puts
a blindfold on me.
664
00:30:15,959 --> 00:30:19,667
I can't access certain documents
or know who the tipster is?
665
00:30:19,750 --> 00:30:22,458
Well, there's nothing to be
done about it now, so...
666
00:30:22,542 --> 00:30:24,583
drinks?
667
00:30:37,959 --> 00:30:38,959
Again?
668
00:30:39,041 --> 00:30:40,542
Hmm.
669
00:30:40,625 --> 00:30:42,458
Have you tried blinking rapidly
100 times?
670
00:30:42,542 --> 00:30:44,333
Yeah, I've tried it all.
671
00:30:52,500 --> 00:30:54,667
We shouldn't have stopped
seeing her.
672
00:30:54,750 --> 00:30:55,458
When you leave things
unresolved,
673
00:30:55,542 --> 00:30:57,875
this is what happens.
674
00:30:57,959 --> 00:31:02,417
Mm. Maybe you're right.
675
00:31:02,500 --> 00:31:05,417
Let's make an appointment.
676
00:31:16,583 --> 00:31:18,542
I'm taking a walk.
677
00:31:23,750 --> 00:31:25,458
Chocolate
egg cream, please.
678
00:31:25,542 --> 00:31:26,125
Coming right up.
679
00:31:30,625 --> 00:31:33,542
I thought I'd find you here.
680
00:31:33,625 --> 00:31:35,208
What do you want?
681
00:31:35,291 --> 00:31:39,333
I became single-minded
to the point of myopia.
682
00:31:39,417 --> 00:31:42,959
I know that I have
transgressed materially
683
00:31:43,041 --> 00:31:45,625
but, more importantly,
in terms of loyalty.
684
00:31:45,709 --> 00:31:48,709
I will devote myself
to the long and arduous process
685
00:31:48,792 --> 00:31:50,583
of making up for the latter.
686
00:31:50,667 --> 00:31:54,083
As to the former,
I have an offer for you.
687
00:31:56,041 --> 00:31:57,709
I have lined up a seat for you
688
00:31:57,792 --> 00:31:59,834
on the Theakston-Manley
asbestos trust,
689
00:31:59,917 --> 00:32:01,375
rubber-stamping claims.
690
00:32:01,458 --> 00:32:02,792
One meeting per quarter.
691
00:32:02,875 --> 00:32:05,834
Your fee, 350K a year.
692
00:32:05,917 --> 00:32:07,583
Now, that'll lead
to more similar seats
693
00:32:07,667 --> 00:32:09,917
once you impress people.
694
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,834
You put together
three of these babies,
695
00:32:11,917 --> 00:32:13,333
that's a nice little sinecure.
696
00:32:13,417 --> 00:32:15,667
Well, I was on my way
to being a zillionaire,
697
00:32:15,750 --> 00:32:17,166
and you're giving me a sinecure.
698
00:32:19,709 --> 00:32:20,709
I understand the rancor, Ira.
699
00:32:20,792 --> 00:32:23,208
I don't begrudge you it.
700
00:32:23,291 --> 00:32:24,959
And I hesitate to bring up
701
00:32:25,041 --> 00:32:26,959
what I know you already know,
702
00:32:27,041 --> 00:32:28,542
but I want to hear it from you
703
00:32:28,625 --> 00:32:29,667
now that the smoke has cleared
704
00:32:29,750 --> 00:32:32,166
that you will not say a word
about my role in the IPO.
705
00:32:32,250 --> 00:32:36,500
You know that it's in your
best interest as well as mine,
706
00:32:36,583 --> 00:32:39,834
because that's how you'll get
paid off in your civil case.
707
00:32:39,917 --> 00:32:42,709
Well, I've been punting
my interview with Eastern
708
00:32:42,792 --> 00:32:44,917
as long as I can.
It'll go on the books soon.
709
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,417
But, no, Chuck,
I won't say a word.
710
00:32:57,959 --> 00:33:03,125
Funny thing, the egg cream, hmm?
711
00:33:03,208 --> 00:33:05,375
No egg in it, no cream, either.
712
00:33:05,458 --> 00:33:07,667
Just chocolate syrup,
713
00:33:07,750 --> 00:33:10,291
a splash of milk, seltzer.
714
00:33:10,375 --> 00:33:14,041
I guess the French had a drink
called chocolat et crème.
715
00:33:14,125 --> 00:33:16,750
The American corruption for that
became "egg cream."
716
00:33:17,750 --> 00:33:20,583
Wonderful arcana.
717
00:33:20,667 --> 00:33:21,917
That's...
That's so Chuck of you.
718
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,834
God, I used to love that shit.
719
00:33:24,917 --> 00:33:27,291
Go home and write it
in my journal.
720
00:33:27,375 --> 00:33:30,709
Now that the smoke has cleared,
721
00:33:30,792 --> 00:33:33,375
you need to hear something.
722
00:33:33,458 --> 00:33:34,792
I've realized...
723
00:33:34,875 --> 00:33:37,875
that you need all this,
724
00:33:37,959 --> 00:33:41,959
to put people
in impossible positions,
725
00:33:42,041 --> 00:33:43,458
to dominate with your will,
726
00:33:43,542 --> 00:33:46,417
to torture.
727
00:33:46,500 --> 00:33:47,667
I never think in those terms.
728
00:33:47,750 --> 00:33:49,875
Well, you've forced me to.
729
00:33:49,959 --> 00:33:51,375
Let's talk it out.
730
00:33:51,458 --> 00:33:53,375
No, this is it.
731
00:33:53,458 --> 00:33:58,750
I'll never talk to you again
once this conversation's over,
732
00:33:58,834 --> 00:34:02,166
which it is.
733
00:34:37,542 --> 00:34:39,333
You coming in, nagusi?
734
00:34:39,417 --> 00:34:41,875
Nope. Case. All day.
735
00:34:41,959 --> 00:34:44,250
Something hot for Axe.
An iron condor with four...
736
00:34:44,333 --> 00:34:46,250
- Please. Go back to B school.
- Anything good yet?
737
00:34:46,333 --> 00:34:48,583
How about a strangle where
we arb the vega on...
738
00:34:48,667 --> 00:34:50,125
You go back to fucking yourself.
739
00:34:50,208 --> 00:34:51,959
I just need two minutes
with Taylor.
740
00:34:52,041 --> 00:34:53,375
Everyone does.
You have to wait.
741
00:34:53,458 --> 00:34:54,667
- Hey, Wags, listen...
- Don't want to fucking hear it.
742
00:34:54,750 --> 00:34:56,959
Nope. As soon as.
743
00:34:57,041 --> 00:34:59,959
Yeah, well, be all over Taylor
till they figure it out.
744
00:35:00,041 --> 00:35:01,542
If I flame this dinner...
745
00:35:01,625 --> 00:35:02,875
No chance, sahabi.
746
00:35:02,959 --> 00:35:04,500
Never let it happen.
747
00:35:04,583 --> 00:35:06,917
Orrin, time for you
to go see your protégé.
748
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:08,667
You want me to propose the deal?
749
00:35:08,750 --> 00:35:11,333
I want you to remind him
what happens to guys like him
750
00:35:11,417 --> 00:35:12,834
when they take
this big a swing and miss.
751
00:35:12,917 --> 00:35:14,000
I want you to remind him
752
00:35:14,083 --> 00:35:16,834
that the political winds
have shifted.
753
00:35:16,917 --> 00:35:18,333
It's better if I show up
with something to offer.
754
00:35:18,417 --> 00:35:22,625
Then bring him a glass of
fuckin' milk, but go do it.
755
00:35:30,166 --> 00:35:31,875
Field trip. Come on.
756
00:35:31,959 --> 00:35:33,208
Where?
757
00:35:33,291 --> 00:35:35,709
Somewhere we can talk
without everyone coming at us.
758
00:35:35,792 --> 00:35:37,417
I know a place.
759
00:35:47,125 --> 00:35:48,875
Ever seen Eastern Promises?
760
00:35:48,959 --> 00:35:52,542
No. Have you ever been
to one of these idea dinners?
761
00:35:52,625 --> 00:35:55,000
No seconds in attendance.
762
00:35:59,125 --> 00:36:01,542
Ugh.
763
00:36:03,458 --> 00:36:06,625
Where are we on an idea?
764
00:36:06,709 --> 00:36:09,792
Haven't fully cracked
the big one yet.
765
00:36:09,875 --> 00:36:11,417
Trying.
766
00:36:11,500 --> 00:36:12,542
Are you?
767
00:36:12,625 --> 00:36:13,375
Trying?
768
00:36:14,834 --> 00:36:18,417
Ask the real question.
769
00:36:18,500 --> 00:36:21,458
Are you shopping offers
on the street?
770
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,500
Just to get it out of the way,
771
00:36:25,583 --> 00:36:28,750
let me apologize for anything
that might have offended
772
00:36:28,834 --> 00:36:29,417
at the poker tournament.
773
00:36:29,500 --> 00:36:30,417
Now that I'm at Treasury,
774
00:36:30,500 --> 00:36:33,959
I need to find someone
to steward my firm.
775
00:36:34,041 --> 00:36:37,041
I'm already stewarding
a firm, a bigger one.
776
00:36:37,125 --> 00:36:38,625
Not that size matters.
777
00:36:38,709 --> 00:36:42,500
Right.
778
00:36:42,583 --> 00:36:45,917
Whatever Axe's flaws,
one thing he knows is people,
779
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,417
and if he believes
you can do it well,
780
00:36:48,500 --> 00:36:49,667
I believe you can.
781
00:36:49,750 --> 00:36:51,834
And I'd actually be hands off.
782
00:36:51,917 --> 00:36:53,959
Let you operate as you saw fit.
783
00:36:54,041 --> 00:36:55,583
That's my situation now.
784
00:36:55,667 --> 00:36:58,500
Is it?
785
00:37:02,709 --> 00:37:04,208
I said no.
786
00:37:04,291 --> 00:37:05,709
With finality
787
00:37:05,792 --> 00:37:08,041
or as a negotiating ploy?
788
00:37:08,125 --> 00:37:10,917
Look, I know it's Axe's faith
that confers value on me
789
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:12,750
until I have
a track record of my own,
790
00:37:12,834 --> 00:37:15,291
until others actually see
what I can do.
791
00:37:15,375 --> 00:37:16,792
So I am loyal to him.
792
00:37:16,875 --> 00:37:19,709
Until and unless it becomes
necessary, I will not leave.
793
00:37:19,792 --> 00:37:21,291
All right.
794
00:37:21,375 --> 00:37:23,458
You can take the heat.
I believe you.
795
00:37:30,458 --> 00:37:32,792
Such disrespect.
796
00:37:32,875 --> 00:37:35,500
Look at you,
sitting here with your tits out.
797
00:37:38,333 --> 00:37:41,166
You got a problem with my tits?
798
00:37:41,250 --> 00:37:45,625
Or maybe they're turning you on
799
00:37:45,709 --> 00:37:47,625
and that's the problem.
800
00:37:51,291 --> 00:37:53,875
You know, I could have done
that for myself.
801
00:37:53,959 --> 00:37:56,208
I know.
I wanted the release.
802
00:37:56,291 --> 00:37:59,625
It was even better
than a hand job.
803
00:37:59,709 --> 00:38:03,208
You chose to meet here
in the anteroom
804
00:38:03,291 --> 00:38:05,000
instead of the dining room.
805
00:38:05,083 --> 00:38:07,500
I seem to have lost
my appetite lately.
806
00:38:07,583 --> 00:38:10,583
- Hmm.
- And, no, it's not my health.
807
00:38:10,667 --> 00:38:11,667
Full workup.
808
00:38:11,750 --> 00:38:14,709
Radiology fine,
bloodwork perfect.
809
00:38:14,792 --> 00:38:15,792
Heart, too.
810
00:38:15,875 --> 00:38:18,041
Still, nothing
wants to stay down.
811
00:38:18,125 --> 00:38:20,583
So, what's got your duodenum
inside out?
812
00:38:20,667 --> 00:38:21,667
Want a hint?
813
00:38:21,750 --> 00:38:24,208
His name is the same as mine.
814
00:38:24,291 --> 00:38:27,291
Oh, that boy is a feisty one,
there's no denying that.
815
00:38:27,375 --> 00:38:30,041
What he is is unfit for office,
816
00:38:30,125 --> 00:38:31,417
unfit to run, even.
817
00:38:31,500 --> 00:38:34,125
I came here
to tell you that I am sorry
818
00:38:34,208 --> 00:38:36,583
I asked you to put him forward.
819
00:38:36,667 --> 00:38:37,875
It was a mistake.
820
00:38:37,959 --> 00:38:41,583
And I will throw my full weight
behind whomever it is
821
00:38:41,667 --> 00:38:42,500
that you say I should.
822
00:38:42,583 --> 00:38:46,208
- Well, that's disheartening.
- It is.
823
00:38:46,291 --> 00:38:48,667
I hate delivering the message,
but I owe it to you.
824
00:38:48,750 --> 00:38:49,959
The candidate's too volatile.
825
00:38:50,041 --> 00:38:51,166
He's unpredictable,
826
00:38:51,250 --> 00:38:53,667
a liability to all of us.
827
00:38:53,750 --> 00:38:54,917
Oh, Charles.
828
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,834
For a father to speak
that way of his own son.
829
00:38:57,917 --> 00:38:59,291
I myself will pass up
supper tonight.
830
00:38:59,375 --> 00:39:02,625
That's how disappointing
I find this.
831
00:39:02,709 --> 00:39:04,417
So you understand?
832
00:39:04,500 --> 00:39:08,125
Not in the way you hope I might.
833
00:39:08,208 --> 00:39:11,417
I have had this
in my possession,
834
00:39:11,500 --> 00:39:14,083
hoping not to be forced
to use it.
835
00:39:14,166 --> 00:39:17,291
But I cannot stand by
836
00:39:17,375 --> 00:39:20,083
and watch you run
that young man down.
837
00:39:20,166 --> 00:39:22,208
You used his money, Charles,
838
00:39:22,291 --> 00:39:24,542
without his consent,
I might add,
839
00:39:24,625 --> 00:39:26,709
to invest in something so risky
840
00:39:26,792 --> 00:39:28,500
as to almost be the ruin
of both of you.
841
00:39:28,583 --> 00:39:33,041
Now, I believe Chuck
will not only survive it
842
00:39:33,125 --> 00:39:34,000
but that the ruthlessness
he has shown
843
00:39:34,083 --> 00:39:36,083
these past few months
844
00:39:36,166 --> 00:39:39,291
will serve him well
on our shared mission,
845
00:39:39,375 --> 00:39:42,709
making him governor
of this great state.
846
00:39:42,792 --> 00:39:45,166
I'd like you to embrace it.
847
00:39:45,250 --> 00:39:47,959
But you at least
have to accept it.
848
00:39:48,041 --> 00:39:49,959
Hmm.
849
00:39:50,041 --> 00:39:53,792
I accept nothing
when it comes to that boy.
850
00:39:53,875 --> 00:39:57,041
We'll see.
851
00:40:04,041 --> 00:40:09,000
Hello, Dad.
852
00:40:09,083 --> 00:40:11,750
Ah, let's all get
our appetites back, hmm?
853
00:40:11,834 --> 00:40:14,500
Together.
What do you say, Charles?
854
00:40:14,583 --> 00:40:18,291
This is a bridge too far,
Black Jack.
855
00:40:18,375 --> 00:40:20,125
This is a bridge
856
00:40:20,208 --> 00:40:22,667
too fucking far.
857
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,375
Ah, he'll come 'round.
858
00:40:31,458 --> 00:40:35,417
I've seen this play
a thousand times.
859
00:40:35,500 --> 00:40:38,542
By the time
the curtain comes down,
860
00:40:38,625 --> 00:40:42,000
he'll take your hand,
and you'll share the bow.
861
00:40:42,959 --> 00:40:45,458
I don't know.
862
00:40:45,542 --> 00:40:49,000
Well, what's meant to happen
always does.
863
00:40:49,083 --> 00:40:51,000
Let's eat.
I'm fuckin' famished.
864
00:41:16,625 --> 00:41:20,542
That's some serious
fucking topspin.
865
00:41:20,625 --> 00:41:21,542
You putting sneakers on
for a match,
866
00:41:21,625 --> 00:41:25,208
or you come up here
with a specific proposal?
867
00:41:25,291 --> 00:41:26,709
Axe'll wait you out,
868
00:41:26,792 --> 00:41:30,959
no matter how long you manage
to keep the money frozen.
869
00:41:31,041 --> 00:41:32,709
He won't make a deal.
870
00:41:32,792 --> 00:41:34,333
We'll find out, huh?
871
00:41:34,417 --> 00:41:36,792
What's it going to be, Bryan?
872
00:41:36,875 --> 00:41:37,959
Pistols at dawn?
873
00:41:38,041 --> 00:41:40,083
Fists?
874
00:41:40,166 --> 00:41:42,625
You insist on picking
through every transaction,
875
00:41:42,709 --> 00:41:44,542
he'll embarrass you.
876
00:41:44,625 --> 00:41:45,709
Embarrassment is free.
877
00:41:45,792 --> 00:41:46,709
We'll cost your client a fortune
878
00:41:46,792 --> 00:41:49,917
keeping his money
out of play for half a year,
879
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:51,208
maybe his whole fortune.
880
00:41:51,291 --> 00:41:53,125
You can't even count that high.
881
00:41:53,208 --> 00:41:54,375
It doesn't matter.
882
00:41:54,458 --> 00:41:56,583
The case has no support
in D.C.
883
00:41:56,667 --> 00:41:59,083
It used to,
but all that's changed.
884
00:41:59,166 --> 00:42:01,458
This is exactly
the type of matter
885
00:42:01,542 --> 00:42:04,041
the A.G. is walking
away from these days.
886
00:42:04,125 --> 00:42:06,208
No. No.
887
00:42:06,291 --> 00:42:08,083
He's walking away
from insider trading,
888
00:42:08,166 --> 00:42:09,875
funny accounting,
all sorts of shit,
889
00:42:09,959 --> 00:42:10,834
but the reason he can
890
00:42:10,917 --> 00:42:12,542
is because a case like this
gives him cover.
891
00:42:12,625 --> 00:42:15,792
People care about it
on a visceral level
892
00:42:15,875 --> 00:42:17,417
because it's about sabotage,
893
00:42:17,500 --> 00:42:20,542
breaking the public trust,
hurting the average guy twice,
894
00:42:20,625 --> 00:42:21,959
once with the tainted juice,
895
00:42:22,041 --> 00:42:24,000
and a second time
with the stock pricing.
896
00:42:24,083 --> 00:42:27,083
How's that
for serious fucking topspin?
897
00:42:27,166 --> 00:42:29,041
You want us to ease off,
898
00:42:29,125 --> 00:42:31,375
you have to give something
in return.
899
00:42:31,458 --> 00:42:34,667
I understand your position,
900
00:42:34,750 --> 00:42:35,458
and at this time,
901
00:42:35,542 --> 00:42:39,166
I don't have anything to offer.
902
00:42:39,250 --> 00:42:41,458
Then maybe wait until you do
903
00:42:41,542 --> 00:42:46,458
before wasting my fucking time.
904
00:42:50,667 --> 00:42:52,959
Bach almost offered up
Axe's ability to trade.
905
00:42:53,041 --> 00:42:54,291
I felt it.
906
00:42:54,375 --> 00:42:58,208
Either he wasn't authorized,
or he sensed weakness.
907
00:42:58,291 --> 00:42:59,959
Did you show weakness?
908
00:43:00,041 --> 00:43:01,333
I did not.
909
00:43:01,417 --> 00:43:04,041
You have some scouting report
on me saying that I did?
910
00:43:04,125 --> 00:43:04,583
It was just a question.
911
00:43:04,667 --> 00:43:07,417
A better question is
912
00:43:07,500 --> 00:43:08,417
which is Axelrod
going to bet on,
913
00:43:08,500 --> 00:43:11,500
his present or his future?
914
00:43:11,583 --> 00:43:14,125
A man who believes
he'll win at trial
915
00:43:14,208 --> 00:43:15,291
sits calmly on the sideline
for six months
916
00:43:15,375 --> 00:43:17,667
until his money is unfrozen,
917
00:43:17,750 --> 00:43:20,166
and then he prevails in court,
goes on with his life.
918
00:43:20,250 --> 00:43:23,000
But a man who thinks he's going
to lose that trial?
919
00:43:23,083 --> 00:43:25,333
Well, he's desperate
to get his money
920
00:43:25,417 --> 00:43:26,625
back in the game
as soon as possible
921
00:43:26,709 --> 00:43:29,458
because he sees it
all going away.
922
00:43:29,542 --> 00:43:31,667
Him giving up trading
923
00:43:31,750 --> 00:43:34,250
would necessitate
a reinvention of who he is.
924
00:43:34,333 --> 00:43:37,000
I've seen him
walk away from the table
925
00:43:37,083 --> 00:43:38,083
on an impulse
926
00:43:38,166 --> 00:43:40,166
when we were certain
that only a deal
927
00:43:40,250 --> 00:43:41,667
would keep him out of prison.
928
00:43:41,750 --> 00:43:44,000
No one gets where he got
by acting only on impulse.
929
00:43:44,083 --> 00:43:47,792
When it comes to billionaires
and Bobby Axelrod in particular,
930
00:43:47,875 --> 00:43:50,250
the thing
you got to understand is...
931
00:43:50,333 --> 00:43:51,542
they're meat-eaters.
932
00:43:51,625 --> 00:43:55,583
The only win they can live with
is total, present and future.
933
00:43:55,667 --> 00:43:57,375
If he gave up trading
and got his money back,
934
00:43:57,458 --> 00:43:59,875
it'd be because he believed
935
00:43:59,959 --> 00:44:03,208
he was gonna kick
our asses at trial.
936
00:44:03,291 --> 00:44:06,667
He expects to get all of it,
everything.
937
00:44:06,750 --> 00:44:08,291
That's who he is.
938
00:44:08,375 --> 00:44:10,041
But still,
we keep the pressure on.
939
00:44:10,125 --> 00:44:14,834
See if he makes a mistake
now that it's all on the line.
940
00:44:14,917 --> 00:44:16,542
And then,
no matter what he does,
941
00:44:16,625 --> 00:44:19,083
we have to position ourselves
942
00:44:19,166 --> 00:44:21,625
to claim victory.
943
00:44:30,291 --> 00:44:31,875
Here, boy.
944
00:44:35,208 --> 00:44:37,000
Okay, break it down for me.
945
00:44:37,083 --> 00:44:39,875
We are the Czechoslovakian
gymnastics team in the '70s.
946
00:44:39,959 --> 00:44:42,083
A lot of pride
for what this country was,
947
00:44:42,166 --> 00:44:44,333
but if something doesn't change
soon, defections are coming.
948
00:44:44,417 --> 00:44:47,667
How'd Taylor do?
949
00:44:47,750 --> 00:44:49,083
Fine.
950
00:44:49,166 --> 00:44:51,917
- I'm not asking you to rat.
- I mean, you are.
951
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,458
Well, I won't tell anyone
it came from you, but...
952
00:44:54,542 --> 00:44:56,709
It was a shit show.
953
00:44:59,250 --> 00:45:00,792
Yeah. Get me Taylor,
Wags, and Wendy.
954
00:45:04,166 --> 00:45:06,875
Why the fuck did you lead
the first morning meeting back
955
00:45:06,959 --> 00:45:08,125
without Wendy there
to handle the troops?
956
00:45:08,208 --> 00:45:11,250
- Taylor handled it, as well...
- I'm talking to both of you,
957
00:45:11,333 --> 00:45:14,125
and from what "Dollar Bill"
tells me, it was a shit show.
958
00:45:14,208 --> 00:45:16,458
- Hey, you ratted.
- I pay for the information.
959
00:45:16,542 --> 00:45:18,291
It's mine to use.
That's how it goes.
960
00:45:20,041 --> 00:45:23,917
Wendy wasn't here.
She was with you, I gather.
961
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:24,959
We needed ideas.
We needed to come together...
962
00:45:25,041 --> 00:45:27,834
So you made a bad thing worse
by jumping in
963
00:45:27,917 --> 00:45:29,709
before you had a plan, and...
No, Axe.
964
00:45:29,792 --> 00:45:30,500
It wouldn't have mattered
who was in the room
965
00:45:30,583 --> 00:45:31,667
with the PMs and the traders.
966
00:45:31,750 --> 00:45:33,709
It was always gonna be
a shit show
967
00:45:33,792 --> 00:45:34,458
if the message wasn't
"We're liquid again."
968
00:45:34,542 --> 00:45:37,250
- Hallelujah.
- Don't be an ass.
969
00:45:37,333 --> 00:45:38,500
You're right.
970
00:45:38,583 --> 00:45:40,667
I meant Axe, but you, too, Bill.
971
00:45:40,750 --> 00:45:41,917
Will you leave us alone
for a minute?
972
00:45:45,875 --> 00:45:48,959
Whoever you're trying
to destroy, stop.
973
00:45:49,041 --> 00:45:51,709
You need to focus
on fighting for your freedom.
974
00:45:51,792 --> 00:45:54,709
You know what
you're suggesting I do.
975
00:45:54,792 --> 00:45:57,208
The one thing
you can do right now.
976
00:45:57,291 --> 00:45:59,750
You taught me an average trader
makes a trade and feels good.
977
00:45:59,834 --> 00:46:02,500
A great trader makes a trade
and feels nothing,
978
00:46:02,583 --> 00:46:04,750
as in be cold and act.
979
00:46:04,834 --> 00:46:05,709
Don't get hung up on emotion.
980
00:46:05,792 --> 00:46:08,500
Give up trading
till the case is over.
981
00:46:08,583 --> 00:46:12,125
You get it back if you win.
982
00:46:12,208 --> 00:46:14,583
If you lose,
you've got bigger problems.
983
00:46:14,667 --> 00:46:17,000
Let them trade for you,
then feed the press a line
984
00:46:17,083 --> 00:46:19,333
about how it proves
the government has no case.
985
00:46:19,417 --> 00:46:23,709
Unless you're worried about
something harder to admit,
986
00:46:23,792 --> 00:46:27,583
that Taylor will be the public
face of Axe Cap and not you.
987
00:46:27,667 --> 00:46:28,625
It's Theseus's Ship.
988
00:46:28,709 --> 00:46:31,125
Once you change out the sails
and all the planks
989
00:46:31,208 --> 00:46:33,542
that make up the hull,
whose ship is it?
990
00:46:33,625 --> 00:46:35,500
Yeah. You got it.
991
00:46:35,583 --> 00:46:38,208
As long as it's your money,
992
00:46:38,291 --> 00:46:39,250
it is still Axe Capital,
993
00:46:39,333 --> 00:46:42,875
no matter who's making
the day-to-day decisions.
994
00:46:42,959 --> 00:46:44,667
Are you sure?
995
00:46:44,750 --> 00:46:49,291
It's not me that has to be sure.
996
00:47:01,875 --> 00:47:03,709
- Yes?
- I'm holding in my hand
997
00:47:03,792 --> 00:47:06,333
Robert Axelrod's signature
relinquishing his ability
998
00:47:06,417 --> 00:47:07,709
to trade securities.
999
00:47:07,792 --> 00:47:10,750
He gave it up.
1000
00:47:10,834 --> 00:47:12,792
Well...
1001
00:47:12,875 --> 00:47:16,667
ol' Samson got a real buzz cut.
1002
00:47:16,750 --> 00:47:18,875
Uh, we need to get
our version out right away.
1003
00:47:18,959 --> 00:47:20,583
I've already taken steps.
1004
00:47:20,667 --> 00:47:22,583
A.G. on the phone.
1005
00:47:22,667 --> 00:47:24,834
Got to go, Ollie.
1006
00:47:27,917 --> 00:47:28,875
Rhoades.
1007
00:47:28,959 --> 00:47:30,458
Is this really the attorney
of the United States
1008
00:47:30,542 --> 00:47:32,709
for the southern district?
1009
00:47:32,792 --> 00:47:33,750
Am I that lucky?
1010
00:47:33,834 --> 00:47:36,166
There must be streams
in the desert.
1011
00:47:36,250 --> 00:47:37,083
General, a pleasure.
1012
00:47:37,166 --> 00:47:40,750
Your predecessor called
once a term.
1013
00:47:40,834 --> 00:47:42,667
I'm in the habit
of counting the herd
1014
00:47:42,750 --> 00:47:44,250
at the end of the day, Chuck.
1015
00:47:44,333 --> 00:47:44,917
Sure.
1016
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,417
Eastern had a good day today.
1017
00:47:47,500 --> 00:47:50,166
Axelrod's put his office keys
on Dake's desk.
1018
00:47:50,250 --> 00:47:51,375
Good for them.
1019
00:47:51,458 --> 00:47:52,875
But you're calling
because you want to make sure
1020
00:47:52,959 --> 00:47:54,625
that I have adjusted
the priorities.
1021
00:47:54,709 --> 00:47:57,083
Pass the message along.
1022
00:47:57,166 --> 00:47:57,667
I'm a thorough man.
1023
00:47:57,750 --> 00:48:00,375
As am I. It's done.
1024
00:48:00,458 --> 00:48:02,959
Attaboy.
1025
00:48:03,041 --> 00:48:04,709
I'll eagerly await
our next chat.
1026
00:48:12,291 --> 00:48:13,959
Hey, you boys ready to go?
1027
00:48:14,041 --> 00:48:15,500
Daddy's got to head out.
1028
00:48:15,583 --> 00:48:16,458
- See ya, fellas.
- Later.
1029
00:48:16,542 --> 00:48:19,125
Go wait in the car.
I'll be right down.
1030
00:48:22,208 --> 00:48:24,625
Your office said
the money's unfrozen.
1031
00:48:24,709 --> 00:48:25,875
Yeah, I told 'em to call you.
1032
00:48:25,959 --> 00:48:28,750
Should I have it wired to Birch?
1033
00:48:28,834 --> 00:48:29,959
No, Bobby.
1034
00:48:30,041 --> 00:48:33,166
I pictured you two
running around together.
1035
00:48:33,250 --> 00:48:35,083
That fuckin' starter plane
of his.
1036
00:48:35,166 --> 00:48:37,792
I wouldn't be caught dead
in that sardine can.
1037
00:48:44,208 --> 00:48:45,125
The money, Bobby.
1038
00:48:47,667 --> 00:48:50,125
Just don't fuckin' lose it.
1039
00:48:51,750 --> 00:48:53,875
Now, there's one bitter
thing that we have to swallow
1040
00:48:53,959 --> 00:48:55,959
along with
this delicious lo mein.
1041
00:48:56,041 --> 00:48:59,834
We have to slow down
on a couple of cases.
1042
00:49:05,834 --> 00:49:07,417
You like giving up those cases?
1043
00:49:07,500 --> 00:49:09,291
- I hate it.
- Me, too.
1044
00:49:09,375 --> 00:49:13,500
No A.G. picks our cases.
I'm chafing against it.
1045
00:49:13,583 --> 00:49:15,333
I'm chafed.
1046
00:49:15,417 --> 00:49:17,375
So, are we gonna do
something about it?
1047
00:49:17,458 --> 00:49:19,333
When I know, you'll know.
1048
00:49:22,125 --> 00:49:24,000
IoT, you know?
1049
00:49:24,083 --> 00:49:25,583
Sure, Internet of Things.
1050
00:49:25,667 --> 00:49:27,166
When companies
that make appliances
1051
00:49:27,250 --> 00:49:29,500
and digital thermostats
contract with the firms
1052
00:49:29,583 --> 00:49:31,625
that manufacture the microchips
to make their products smart,
1053
00:49:31,709 --> 00:49:34,041
the connected things inside,
1054
00:49:34,125 --> 00:49:36,583
they force the chip companies
to sign nondisclosures.
1055
00:49:36,667 --> 00:49:37,792
They don't want
their competitors
1056
00:49:37,875 --> 00:49:40,834
to be able to mimic them.
Right, so it's hard to know
1057
00:49:40,917 --> 00:49:43,500
which chip companies are poised
to dominate the market.
1058
00:49:43,583 --> 00:49:44,875
If we could find
a common component
1059
00:49:44,959 --> 00:49:47,417
among a bunch
of varied devices...
1060
00:49:47,500 --> 00:49:48,709
You could
reverse-engineer it.
1061
00:49:48,792 --> 00:49:51,000
You have fun
smashing shit apart?
1062
00:49:51,083 --> 00:49:51,917
A blast.
And I found a component
1063
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:53,959
that matched the specs
for a Quartes chip.
1064
00:49:54,041 --> 00:49:57,083
So I called Quartes
and claimed to be building
1065
00:49:57,166 --> 00:49:59,000
an Internet-connected
washing machine
1066
00:49:59,083 --> 00:50:00,959
that sends a message to the
owner when the laundry is done.
1067
00:50:01,041 --> 00:50:03,000
Got the full specs
on their latest chips.
1068
00:50:03,041 --> 00:50:05,500
- And they matched.
- That they did.
1069
00:50:05,583 --> 00:50:08,458
Everyone tries to hide it,
but Quartes is the main supplier
1070
00:50:08,542 --> 00:50:10,709
for 85% of loT products
on the market.
1071
00:50:10,792 --> 00:50:12,041
So, that's the shot?
1072
00:50:12,125 --> 00:50:13,083
That's the shot.
1073
00:50:13,166 --> 00:50:16,000
It plays.
Good work.
1074
00:50:16,083 --> 00:50:18,417
You'd have found something
like it if you weren't...
1075
00:50:18,500 --> 00:50:19,291
That's why I have you, Taylor.
1076
00:50:19,375 --> 00:50:20,917
It's a good thing
that you can deliver
1077
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:23,375
when I can't, not a bad thing.
1078
00:50:23,458 --> 00:50:23,917
Thank you.
1079
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:25,250
Once you leave here,
1080
00:50:25,333 --> 00:50:27,083
we can't really talk
individual names
1081
00:50:27,166 --> 00:50:28,041
of companies again
for a long time.
1082
00:50:28,125 --> 00:50:31,417
Management issues, sure,
but not stocks.
1083
00:50:31,500 --> 00:50:32,792
It'll all be up to you.
1084
00:50:32,875 --> 00:50:35,125
I can't be seen
to be guiding the firm.
1085
00:50:35,208 --> 00:50:37,875
It'll look as though I'm
violating the terms of my deal.
1086
00:50:37,959 --> 00:50:40,083
I know. You saved the firm
by doing what you did.
1087
00:50:40,166 --> 00:50:41,917
We bought back into the market
late in the position.
1088
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:45,333
Tonight's a big one for me.
1089
00:50:51,333 --> 00:50:54,667
The most important managers
in the business will be there.
1090
00:50:54,750 --> 00:50:57,583
Between them, they cover
all the meaningful strategies
1091
00:50:57,667 --> 00:50:59,834
currently in play.
1092
00:51:01,959 --> 00:51:03,083
Quite the cotillion.
1093
00:51:03,166 --> 00:51:06,125
It's the social event
of the season.
1094
00:51:06,208 --> 00:51:09,500
Tonight plants our flag
for the future.
1095
00:51:09,583 --> 00:51:11,291
This room will set the agenda
for what the industry's
1096
00:51:11,375 --> 00:51:14,792
talking about for
the next week, month, year.
1097
00:51:14,875 --> 00:51:17,750
And what they will be talking
about is Axe Capital.
1098
00:51:34,083 --> 00:51:35,667
All right, guys.
1099
00:51:35,750 --> 00:51:37,709
Mom and Dad are going
to their therapist.
1100
00:51:37,792 --> 00:51:38,834
Hour of screen time only, okay?
1101
00:51:38,917 --> 00:51:41,875
Probably grab a bite afterwards,
but we won't be late.
1102
00:51:41,959 --> 00:51:43,041
Okay?
1103
00:51:43,125 --> 00:51:43,959
Bye.
1104
00:51:44,041 --> 00:51:46,000
- Bye.
- Bye.
1105
00:52:19,333 --> 00:52:21,583
Look at all the trouble
you've caused.
1106
00:52:21,667 --> 00:52:24,500
What a disgrace.
1107
00:52:24,583 --> 00:52:26,542
Agreed.
1108
00:52:26,625 --> 00:52:29,542
He's almost beyond reclamation.
1109
00:52:29,625 --> 00:52:31,875
I can't stand the sight
of this dog.
1110
00:52:31,959 --> 00:52:34,417
I want to leave him here,
1111
00:52:34,500 --> 00:52:35,792
and I'm tempted
to take you with me.
1112
00:52:35,875 --> 00:52:38,667
It's up to you, mistress.
1113
00:52:38,750 --> 00:52:42,625
Leave with me or administer
the required corrections.
1114
00:52:45,458 --> 00:52:49,333
He's in need of punishment.
1115
00:52:49,417 --> 00:52:50,834
I'll stay.
1116
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:06,250
Have you missed this?
1117
00:53:06,333 --> 00:53:09,166
Then why aren't you showing
the proper appreciation?
1118
00:53:09,250 --> 00:53:12,875
I should put you
in this fucking cage.
1119
00:53:12,959 --> 00:53:15,750
Perhaps you're in need
of something deeper?
1120
00:53:15,834 --> 00:53:18,250
Yeah.
1121
00:53:18,333 --> 00:53:19,875
Have you missed this?
1122
00:53:19,959 --> 00:53:23,083
It's not about me.
1123
00:53:23,166 --> 00:53:25,250
Or maybe you found, uh,
other outlets.
1124
00:53:26,291 --> 00:53:28,125
How dare you question me?
1125
00:53:29,625 --> 00:53:31,750
I can take care of my own needs.
1126
00:53:31,834 --> 00:53:33,542
Oh.
1127
00:53:33,625 --> 00:53:35,041
Explored other fantasies, then?
1128
00:53:35,125 --> 00:53:38,125
What fantasies exactly?
1129
00:53:38,208 --> 00:53:40,709
You being with other men.
1130
00:53:44,458 --> 00:53:48,083
Of course.
1131
00:53:48,166 --> 00:53:51,500
That's your fantasy.
1132
00:53:51,583 --> 00:53:53,875
You're that pathetic,
aren't you?
1133
00:53:54,709 --> 00:53:57,667
I am. I am.
1134
00:53:57,750 --> 00:53:59,709
I want to hear about you and...
1135
00:53:59,792 --> 00:54:00,834
Young men?
1136
00:54:00,917 --> 00:54:05,625
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1137
00:54:05,709 --> 00:54:09,458
Um...
1138
00:54:09,542 --> 00:54:11,291
will he be handsome, rich?
1139
00:54:11,375 --> 00:54:12,917
- Of course.
- Yeah?
1140
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:14,000
He's brilliant.
1141
00:54:14,083 --> 00:54:16,834
Barely 30 years old.
1142
00:54:16,917 --> 00:54:19,834
- With the washboard abs?
- Oh, yeah, he's ripped.
1143
00:54:19,917 --> 00:54:21,625
Tell me!
1144
00:54:21,709 --> 00:54:22,750
That's how you want
to be punished?
1145
00:54:22,834 --> 00:54:26,166
Yes! Yes!
1146
00:54:26,250 --> 00:54:30,458
It's... It's the most
excruciating thing
1147
00:54:30,542 --> 00:54:31,542
that I can think of.
1148
00:54:31,625 --> 00:54:33,417
I want to know
what he does to you,
1149
00:54:33,500 --> 00:54:35,417
what you do to him.
1150
00:54:38,333 --> 00:54:39,625
We're somewhere private.
1151
00:54:39,709 --> 00:54:42,500
- A hotel?
- A hotel.
1152
00:54:42,583 --> 00:54:44,792
White sheets thrown around us.
1153
00:54:44,875 --> 00:54:45,834
Our clothes are off.
1154
00:54:48,959 --> 00:54:52,166
Hands and mouths on bare skin.
1155
00:54:52,250 --> 00:54:54,500
I take him in my hands.
1156
00:54:56,500 --> 00:54:57,709
Is he...
1157
00:54:57,792 --> 00:54:59,542
Yeah, hard.
1158
00:54:59,625 --> 00:55:01,458
Thick.
1159
00:55:01,542 --> 00:55:03,333
I give myself to him
1160
00:55:03,417 --> 00:55:08,750
and let him do
whatever he wants.
1161
00:55:08,834 --> 00:55:11,667
Is it good?
1162
00:55:11,750 --> 00:55:15,542
Good? No.
It's fucking amazing.
1163
00:55:19,959 --> 00:55:22,083
He understands me.
1164
00:55:22,166 --> 00:55:27,291
He knows exactly what I need.
1165
00:55:49,500 --> 00:55:51,583
Oh, Axe is so fucked!
From the Journal.
1166
00:55:51,667 --> 00:55:55,083
"Government defangs Axelrod,
barred from trading."
1167
00:55:55,166 --> 00:55:56,917
I'd love to agree, but I think
he bested those fuckers,
1168
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:59,250
and so does B.I.
1169
00:55:59,333 --> 00:56:01,875
"Axe Capital poised to plunge
heavy back into the markets."
1170
00:56:01,959 --> 00:56:03,834
He has his money.
What else does he need?
1171
00:56:03,917 --> 00:56:06,583
To do with as he pleases.
But what's the fucking point?
1172
00:56:06,667 --> 00:56:08,375
He's gonna be here soon.
1173
00:56:08,458 --> 00:56:11,041
We're gonna know by the look
on his face what happened.
1174
00:56:11,125 --> 00:56:13,083
Either he crushed them,
or he's become
1175
00:56:13,166 --> 00:56:14,917
the government's favorite bitch.
1176
00:56:23,333 --> 00:56:25,750
Who's this?
1177
00:56:25,834 --> 00:56:27,417
I'm Taylor Mason,
1178
00:56:27,500 --> 00:56:28,625
Chief Investment Officer,
Axe Capital,
1179
00:56:28,709 --> 00:56:33,375
and I have a silver-backed
fucking gorilla of an idea.
1180
00:56:33,458 --> 00:56:35,917
It's an angle of attack
on an Internet sector
1181
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:38,250
that's worth 12X
what you think it is.
1182
00:56:38,333 --> 00:56:39,458
But the sector
is only the beginning.
1183
00:56:39,542 --> 00:56:42,458
I'll walk you through
both the technical side
1184
00:56:42,542 --> 00:56:44,834
and the types of derivatives
that are available
1185
00:56:44,917 --> 00:56:46,125
to both bet on it
and to effectively hedge it
1186
00:56:46,208 --> 00:56:49,291
so that the play
is risk-neutral.
1187
00:56:52,208 --> 00:56:56,291
That's how Axe Cap is doing it.
1187
00:56:57,305 --> 00:57:57,781
