-Shut up!

Don't you wish you had a cock...

this big?

Yes, goddess.

But you could
never have a cock this big

because you are
a weak little man.

I know. I'm weak.

-[Theda chuckling]

What are you doing?

Please, goddess. Let me have it.

You want me to let you suck it?

Yes, I wanna suck it.

You know,
the more successful a man is,

the more a little bitch
they really are.

So you want me
to let you suck it?

Yes, goddess,
please let me suck it.

[laughs] Why?

Because I'm a little faggot.
[panting]

Only if you show me
how deep you can go.

Okay. Okay.

Kiss it.

What's the latest
with Pizzagate 2.0?

I'm just trying to do

[Maxwell] Do any of you
wanna guess why I'm here today?

Let me ask you a question.

Find that interesting?

Not so much, huh?

How about now?
Is that interesting?

Still not doing it for you.
Right?

Let's keep omitting.

Deleting.

How about that?

A big "fuck you"
right in your face.

[laughs]

You bet your ass that
gets your attention, right?

Makes you feel something,
doesn't it?

That's all it takes
to write an effective headline,

which most of you in this room
have already forgotten.

Middle finger was always there,
right there.

But it didn't get your attention

until it removed
the surrounding context.

And then it became something
else entirely, didn't it?

That's how you write a headline.

It's just a small
piece of a hole.

And your job depends on
finding the middle finger.

Getting rid of the rest.
Just find the middle finger.

Here's your headline.

I grew up in a house that had a
black anthill in the front yard.

Red ants in the backyard,
black ants in the front yard.

My dad gave me a jar one day
and he said,

"Put a hundred black ants,
a hundred red ants in the jar."

And we sat 'em on the counter
and we looked at 'em,

just watched 'em.

And then he said,

"Now pick up that jar
and shake it violently."

Those little fuckers
started killing each other.

Let me answer the question.
What am I doing here today?

I'm here to tell you
to shake the goddamn jar!

Or I fucking will!

[phone ringing]

[ringing continues]

-Hey, babe.
-Hey, feature hubby.

What are you doing here?

Well, I was in the area meeting
with the florist and I thought

I'd stop by and drop off
some samples and surprise you.

Aw!

Cute presents from you, babe.

And I will check these out,

but I really gotta
get back to work.

The boss man is in, and...

just really not
the best day to drop by.

Oh, okay.

Sorry, I was just right here,
so I thought it'd surprise you.

No, no, no.
Don't be sorry. Okay?

It's-- I totally understand.

Okay. Well, have a great day,
and I'll see you at home.

-Okay. Love you.
-Love you more.

Mm-hmm.

"I love you."

"No, I love you more."

Mr. Henry, sorry to interrupt.

I just wanted to say
thank you, sir,

for bumping me
from local to national.

Who are you?

I'm David Gilligan.

I just got promoted from
local to national daytime,

and I just wanted to say
thank you, sir.

Well, I didn't hire you,
so there's no need to thank me.

Don't fuck it up.

Well, of course not, sir.

I've been working
my entire career

for this kind of opportunity.

'Cause I'll tell you
something, snowflake.

It's hard for a white guy
to find a job these days.

Um...

I'm joking.

[laughs] You-- you-- you got me.

-Get out.
-Yes, sir.

So I just tried
to put River to bed, right?

And you know what he said to me?
He goes, "No, Daddy,

I want Sofia to read me
my bedtime story tonight."

[Sofia laughs] Really? He did?

Oh, yeah. He did.

You know what else he said?

He said, "Daddy,
why doesn't she read to me?

Does she not love me anymore?"

[Sofia chuckles]

You sure didn't add
that last part for effect?

I mean, it might
not have been his exact words,

but he said to some extent.

[Benjamin sighs]

Come on. You know he loves
when you read to him.

I know, babe.
And I love reading to him too.

But I have so much work to do.

Like, work-work,
or obsessive-side-project work?

It's not an obsessive
side project, Ben.

It's called
investigative journalism.

Investigative journalism.
That's right.

Okay, let me-- let me
ask you something.

And I'm not trying to be a dick,

so please don't
take this the wrong way.

What makes you think
that you're gonna

tie these crimes together
before the police?

Yeah, because cops are basically

the most intelligent people
on the planet, right?

All I'm saying is
if you look hard enough

at anything for long enough,
you will find dots to connect.

But that doesn't necessarily
mean that they should.

So you actually think
that an escort

is capable of all of this?

Killing ultra-wealthy men

for a [indistinct] and
some pocket cash? Really?

Crashing hotel
surveillance systems,

using VPNs
to communicate with victims,

DNA splattered everywhere
but no priors?

This is some high-level,
extremely organized

political or corporate warfare.

Have you ever seen this?

Take a $20 bill...
[clears throat]

...and you fold it into a plane.

[mimics plane whooshing,
exploding]

You can see
the Twin Towers on 9/11.

All I'm saying is
you're gonna find anything

you look hard enough for.

Please be careful.

Are you ready for bed?

I want bedtime stories.

I know, sweetie,
but I'm so busy.

I have so much work
to do tonight.

Please.

How about your dad
reads for you tonight

-I promise.
-Why not tonight?

[reporter]
The details remain unclear

but what we do know is

authorities have not
ruled out foul play.

As the story unfolds,
viewer discretion is advised.

It appears that action star
Wendell Pierce

was involved in extreme
deviant sexual behavior,

commonly known as BDSM.

He was allegedly found in
nothing but thong underwear

and a dog collar
around his neck,

which is most likely
the cause of death

due to strangulation pending
an autopsy in coroner's report.

Pierce is survived
by his wife Bethany

and two little girls.

Our hearts go out to them.

Stay tuned for additional
coverage on Channel 8

as details emerge
surrounding this tragedy.

-Top of the morning.
-Morning.

What's new?

Nothing.

Are you sure?

I don't know. You tell me.

Your hair is naturally
on the darker side. Huh?

Excuse me?

What didn't you understand
about the question?

So you came over here
to question me about my hair

not being naturally blonde?

What did you do last night?

Why are you being such a creep?

I am being a creep?

You seem really tense
over a couple simple questions.

I'm not tense at all.

So where were you last night?

Oh.

I didn't tell you?

I was at the salon.

Dyeing my hair.

I'm serious.
Where were you last night?

I went home,
I had dinner with my family,

and then I came
back here to work.

Is that okay with you?

You came back here last night?

Yes.

Why?

I just told you, to work.

I thought I saw you
downtown last night.

You know I don't go out, so.

Hmm, yeah, 'cause
you're so innocent, right?

I feel like some people,
especially in HR,

might find this to be...

harassment.

[scoffs] A feminist quick
to pull the harassment card.

Shocking.

And if you were Black,

you'd be saying
I'm a racist too, right?

I have work to do.

What, you didn't get it
all done last night?

While you were here?

Whatever you think
you're onto about me

is a waste of time.

So just drop it.

I don't want you going
too far down the rabbit hole.

It's starting to
wear on your face.

[Miguel] What's up, man?

[laughs] You decided
you wanted your change?

-Nah, it's all you, bro.
-Okay.

[David] But I was hoping
you could do me a favor.

What's up?

I need the security footage
from out front

when I was here last night.

Damn,
something happen to your car?

No, no. Nothing like that.
I mean, I'm not mad at all.

I-- I just need the footage.

Wish I could help you,

but I don't really have
nothing to do with that.

I get it, and I'd be happy to--

[laughs] Yo, look,
I would love to take your money

and give it to my man
who works at security,

but the footage is gone.

Ah, cops have it
from the actor that died.

-No backup internally?
-Between me and you...

look, they don't even have it.

The cops was here all morning.

Apparently
the camera system was down.

They think it's on some real
life Jason Bourne type shit.

I did not tell you this.

You didn't tell me what?

What?

I-- I just said,
"You didn't tell me what?"

I wasn't here now.

[laughs] My man.

Uh, last question.

Do you recognize
this chick from last night?

She's got, like,
short, darker hair now, though.

Uh, nah, I didn't see her here.

[David] Well,
take a closer look.

Yeah, bro.
I don't recall seeing her here.

I wish I could be more help.

-All right. Thanks, man.
-All right.

Thank you, darling.

Hey, come on.
I'm a public servant as well.

-[Zane] You're a public servant?
-Yes, sir.

-That's what you are?
-[Hughes] Indeed.

I don't think so.

I think you're being too modest.

I guess
I'm a public servant too.

-Is that so?
-Yes, sir.

I could be anywhere
in the world right now,

but I'm not.

I'm right here.

And do you know why?

Because of this man.

He believes in you.

He thinks you're it.

The next Barack Obama,
if you will.

A great unifier for our country,

these divided states of America.

A man we most desperately need.

You know,
William Shakespeare said that,

"All the world's a stage..."

Each man and woman
merely players...

with entrances and exits.

And during the course

of every man's life...

he'll play many parts.

What part do you think I play?

Well, you strike me as
the kind of man that...

plays whatever part he wants.

Not exactly.

The director.

I own the whole fuckin' theater.

From one public servant
to another.

Salut.

To you, Governor.

To the next president
of the United States.

I think this is the beginning
of a beautiful friendship.

[laughs] Salut.

[all] Salut.

[tense music]

[Zane] It was really great
to meet you, Governor.

-[Hughes] Likewise.
-Thank you for coming.

You know,
I must confess, when, uh...

Maxwell asked me to consider you

for our little fraternity
that, uh...

I was a bit concerned.

Publicly, to me,

you present as
idealistic and hardheaded.

And that for me is
poor qualities for a president.

Rather, they belong to,
you know, the beautiful,

perennial losers
such as, uh, Mr. Sanders.

There's no such thing
as a fair fight, Governor.

We fight to win.

Now,
I want you to reassure me...

I'm investing in a winner.

Well, I didn't come

this far...

to only come this far.

Yes.

I believe that.

Gentlemen, I, uh,

appreciate the candor

and your shared belief
in me as a candidate.

But I should get going.

All right. Well, very well.

But, uh, you must promise
to let me throw you

an event before the primary.

-I really couldn't impose.
-No, no imposition.

This house is free.
It's yours to use.

It's like my frat house.

Wow. Okay. I, um...

Yes?

I might have to
take you up on that.

Terrific. It's settled, then.

Theda, show the governor
around the grounds,

make sure he finds
our humble place suitable

for one of his benefit dinners.

And see him to his car

and make sure he has a bottle
of bourbon to take with him.

That's really okay.

I'm afraid I insist.

Yes.

We're friends.

[Theda] They say you're
going to be the next president.

That's the plan.

You've got my vote.

[Hughes laughs]

You don't even know
what I stand for.

I do.

And you should never
talk yourself out of a sale.

Smart girl.

Plus, you're very handsome,
so that helps.

Thank you. I've been told
it doesn't hurt the cause.

Do you want to hear
my real estate agent pitch?

Of course.

And last,
we have our master bedroom--

oh, I meant the owner suite--

with interiors by [indistinct],

which has been
optimized with flow.

With private foyer,

allowing a gentle entrance

and an added layer of privacy.

This suite boosts
14-foot ceilings,

panoramic views throughout,

and an open-concept bath
with relaxation [indistinct].

So how did I do?

Ten out of ten.

So do you want it?

'Cause there's
nothing I wouldn't do

to help convince you.

Oh, you are very good...

[chuckles] ...at this.

Oh...

you have no idea how good.

[both moaning]

Did I mention
the camera shoots 4K?

You fucking set me up?

Just enjoy it.
You're already fucked.

-Hey, bud.
-Hey, Dave.

Don't mean to interrupt.

I just wanna remind you
about the footage I requested.

Oh, yeah.

I put it on your desk
the other day.

But I never got it.

Weird.

Are you sure?

I don't think so.
I'll check again.

Sofia.

Wow.

How do you get any work done
sitting next to her all day?

Oh, was she there
when you dropped it off?

Oh, yeah.

What a beautiful specimen.

Yeah, she's really hot.

Hey, you think she's single?

I gotta get back to work.

I'll let you know
if I still can't find it.

All right, Dave.

-You are the man, Dave.
-You're the man.

The man.

-[papers rustling]
-[David sighs]

[tense music]

Babe, what's wrong?

You know Sofia from work, right?

The blonde Russian slut that
sits next to my future husband?

Yeah, I do.

Blonde slut?
What are you talking about?

Why are you,
like, defending her?

You're seriously mad
that I called her a slut?

I mean, isn't she?

I-- I have no idea.

Okay.
Well, why did you bring her up?

You remember a few weeks ago

when Wendell Pierce
was found dead in a hotel

with the whole BDSM thing?

Yeah. What about it?

Well, I was there
at the hotel that night

and I saw her there.

-It was right after the murder.
-Wait. Whoa. Whoa.

You went to a BDSM party?

God, I have one,

one threesome with you,

and now you're going to
BDSM parties?

No! No. Chill.

What the fu-- what
the fuck are you talking about?

I was at the hotel bar
with Bryce

because he just
closed a huge deal.

So I met up with him
and some of the guys

for drinks after work
to celebrate.

Yeah, exactly, the night that
you called me to tell me

that you're working late
and canceled dinner with me?

-That night.
-Okay.

I did work late that night.

Well past dinner. So just relax.

Okay, the guys
were out celebrating,

so I decided to have one drink
with them on the way home.

-That's it. Okay?
-Fine.

So I'm waiting
for my car at the valet.

I saw her leaving the hotel
the night of the murder,

wearing a black wig,
knee-length black leather coat,

and black leather boots.

Okay. So I was wrong about her.

She's not a slut.

Just a fucking whore.

Maybe, but that's not the point.

Okay? She has this--

this obsession with this
Illuminati occult type of shit

that she's always reading about

and asking me weird questions
at work about our boss.

And she thinks
that he's involved

with this secret society
that runs the world, yada-yada.

But I realized she's trolling.

-How is she trolling?
-She's part of it.

She's an assassin
for whoever the group is.

Think about it.

A movie star
ends up dead at the hotel

and the surveillance system
goes down that night?

Convenient. Right?

Security systems
malfunction all the time.

Coincidences do happen, David.

No, they don't. Not like this.

So I went up to her
at work the next day.

I said,
"What'd you do last night?"

She says,
"I went home for dinner

and then I came
back to the office

to get some extra work done."

So I found the security footage.

But sure enough,
she was at the office

during those hours.

Okay. Well.

Obviously you mistook
one whore for another.

It's really
not that complicated.

Why do you seem like you're so
obsessed with her or something?

Babe, I am not obsessed
with her at all.

I could give a shit about her.

I know it was her
leaving the hotel that night.

I need you to be
really honest with me here.

-Are you doing cocaine again?
-Are you serious?

You sound like
a coked-out lunatic

spinning conspiracy theories.

Wow. Thank you for
the cuntish low blow.

But no, I haven't
done drugs in years.

So let me be completely
fucking clear with you.

I know it was her
leaving the hotel that night.

Okay, you are really
starting to freak me out now.

You literally seem like
you have lost your mind.

Maybe that's it.

[laughs] Yeah!

Maybe I've lost my fucking mind.

Yeah!

My name's David
and I've lost my fucking mind.

Hey, everybody!

Good afternoon, everybody.

You know, I truly
appreciate all the hard work

and all the hours you've spent
on the election reform bill.

I am incredibly proud
of each of you.

And with that said,
out of respect for all of you,

our team,

well, I feel compelled
to share with you first

that I will not
be signing the bill.

I know many of you
have questions,

and I will be fielding questions

from the press court
momentarily,

and I will field questions
from any of you

at a later date
that have not been addressed.

Keep up the great work.

[Jake] Wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait.

So it's just
back to work as usual?

Are you guys okay with this?

You don't just work
so hard on something for months

that you fundamentally
agree with,

and then in the eleventh hour
you decide,

"Hmm, as a matter of fact,

I'm actually not gonna support
a reform bill that I initiated.

Oh, and before I go,

fuck you all
and keep up the great work."

This is insane!

[Sara] Jake, just breathe.

I'm just as upset as you are.

But right now is not the time
to let our emotions run high.

No, no, no,
this is exactly the time

to be letting
our emotions run high.

You know that this is a game.
This isn't new to you.

This isn't just playing
some political game, okay?

This is bullshit,
and I'm not biting my tongue.

What if he's running
for president?

What if he wins?

He's clearly trying
to work across the aisle

for some reason,
and we have to trust that.

With all due respect, Sara...

I wouldn't give a fuck

if he was making
a presidential run.

This is fucked up.

I am not sure if you know,
but I was given credentials

for Governor Hughes's
press conference today.

It's the first I've heard of it.

-Congrats.
-Thanks.

I actually wrote an editorial
on election reform for Vox,

and I guess the producer
just thought of me.

Cool.

I don't know, I thought
maybe we could drive together.

Get on the same page.

Yeah, sure.

[Hughes] With that being said,

I'm sure my decision to exercise
my gubernatorial power of veto

may come as a surprise.

And with that, I open up
the floor for questions.

[reporters clamoring]

Governor Hughes, what do you
have to say to your constituency

that are disappointed
in your decision?

That I have carefully considered

and weighed all options
of the issue.

But this was not made in haste.

After much deliberation and...

introspection,

it is clear to me that
despite legitimate concerns

of voting integrity,
inclusion is paramount.

-Next question.
-[reporters clamoring]

[all] Sir!

Assuming you're running
for reelection,

do you think that
this will cost you votes,

or are you positioning yourself

for a presidential run
as a moderate?

I have no idea
how voters will react.

I hope they will continue
to believe in me. [chuckles]

However, no decision I make

is dictated by party pressure.

Especially during
such polarizing times

when any sole decision
can alienate an entire group.

[reporters clamoring]

As an African-American man,

was this last-minute
change of heart

influenced in any way by
the notion that voter ID laws

disproportionately
affect people of color?

My concerns have always been

to serve the people
who've elected me.

All of them.

I believe that
certain issues transcend race,

and I believe that voting...

is one of them.

Do you not find voter ID laws

to be a form of racially
motivated voter suppression?

Voter ID laws
can unintentionally make it

nearly impossible to vote

for disenfranchised
or marginalized people

such as the elderly,
people with disabilities,

and now folks
living in severe poverty,

most of whom
happen to be people of color.

All right, we're 25 seconds out.

Add "discriminatory"
to the chyron.

-[man] Where do you want it?
-In the fucking chyron!

So it reads,
"Governor Hughes blocks

discriminatory voter ID bill."

Okay, got it. Yeah. Just--

Yeah. It's the chyron. Just...

We're going live in
five, four, three, two...

[news anchor]
In an unexpected turn of events,

Governor Hughes
called a press conference today

to announce
that he intends to veto

the discriminatory voter ID bill

that he was scheduled
to sign into law tomorrow.

The veto comes
as a devastating blow

to the Republican Party

just months before
the state Senate race.

Voter ID laws have long
been proven to discriminatory

by disproportionately
affecting people of color

in a desperate attempt
to maintain power

in disenfranchised communities.

Stay tuned for more to come.

That's all the questions
I have time for today.

God bless and thank you.

Way to go.

[tense music]

So you work for Maxwell?

[Sofia] Yeah, I do.

Thank you so much
for taking my questions.

Did he put you up to this?

No, not directly.

You know, it's a big corporation

and I've actually never had
the pleasure of meeting him.

Don't play dumb with me,
you Russian whore.

What's done is done.

[Sofia] Excuse me?

You think I wouldn't
recognize you in a blonde wig?

In a pap suit?

There is a special place in hell
for women like you.

-Governor Hughes said that?
-Yeah.

What, was it, like,
a big scene or something?

Is-- Did anyone else hear?

No, it wasn't
a big scene at all.

Room full of people
and no one heard.

And you wonder why I said
I won't talk to you about it.

I'm just trying to
wrap my head around it.

Seems a little absurd,
you gotta admit.

No, what you're doing is
implying that it's not true

because I'm the only one
that heard.

Is that unreasonable?

You just told me
that the governor

called you a Russian whore.

Well, he did.

Okay.

Sofia, I love you.

I think you are the smartest
and kindest person that I know.

But after the yoga thing
the other day, and now this,

I think that it's best
that you get back into therapy.

It was working
so well for you before--

-What?
-Now you're having

dissociative episodes again,
and I just--

You had to bring it up, huh?

I had one meltdown

and now you're gonna bring it up
every chance you get.

It's just a suggestion.

I don't try to understand
what's going on in your head.

I'm sorry.

You're probably happy
I had that yoga incident

so now you can paint me
as this mentally ill girl

who's obsessed with
her conspiracy theories, right?

Not trying to do that.

Maybe Sofia is fucked up,
delusional.

Dr. Kingston was right.

[Benjamin]
Then we'll manage it together.

But you gotta start
taking care of yourself, okay?

[Zane] Okay. You got me.

Oops. Secret's out.

They're whores, but that's

They're our whores.

And we do whatever we like

They go in, they're like,

"I wanna be a fuckin'

'Cause people love the illusion
of choice, Governor.

But there's no such thing,

'cause we control it all.

Nobody knew about
my twin sister...

but you did.

I'm so sorry, Sofia.

I was only trying
to protect you.

From what?

Your father...

is a very bad man.

"Is"?

Yes.

He's still alive.

He is part of a very powerful,

dangerous group of people

that controls everything.

To become a member,

you must sell your soul.

Tradition dictates that you must

sacrifice your firstborn
as tribute.

Technically...

that was you.

Your mother die
from internal bleeding...

complications of childbirth.

Your father, my nephew, Nikolai,

he could not live

with a constant reminder

by raising your twin.

So he pay to have
an infant stolen

from the hospital nursery.

Once you girls
were about four...

he realized he could not
hide you forever.

So my sister cared for Theda...

and I took care of you.

Nikolai was concerned
that if he did not separate you,

that you would help
each other remember too much.

That eventually you would
encourage each other

to dig into the past.

I did the best I could by you.

I fucking knew it.

I could feel it in my bones
I wasn't crazy.

And now that you know...

you go live your life.

Too late.

Remember to gather his devices
and get them wiped.

-Okay?
-Of course.

And the wife,

she's gonna have
a very unfortunate car accident.

Wait a week
till the shit blows over.

So you want it with

-or without the kids?
-Oh, with the kids.

Clean.

Without.

We're not animals.

All right. [laughs]

Here's to seeing
eye to eye, I guess.

Okay. The bag?

All right.

Bye. Have a good day.

♪

You shouldn't have followed me.

If they saw you,
we'd both be dead.

Why don't you just run away?

[scoffs] Run away?

To where, Mars?

They run the whole entire world.

Politics, banking, media, tech.

It's called shadow government.

How did they find you
and not even know about me?

I was sent to our aunt Alonya,
you to her sister Mischa.

When I was 15,
Alonya died in a car accident.

Niko always kept an eye on us
from a distance.

After she died,
he came back for me,

and it was one
of the worst days of my life.

He helped take care of me
for about one year.

Things seemed okay.

Apparently,
he was being considered

for number one
in the organization,

and they put him
under surveillance.

That's when
they found out about me.

And he admitted to offering
a false sacrifice as tribute.

He said the death of his wife
was too much to bear.

They were furious,
but understood his position.

They didn't let either of us
off easy, though.

All of them took turns raping me

for hours and hours.

And Niko was made to go last.

That's when they branded me
with their emblem.

♪

Now I have everything I want.
Except my freedom.

[Sofia sighs]

That's a lot to process.

Even for a journalist.

Don't even think about
writing about this.

Your boss, Maxwell,
he's one of us.

If he finds out,

he would have us
killed immediately.

Okay.

Let me show you something.

[tense music]

Wow.

I knew it was bad,
but not this bad.

It's worse.
But you get the point.

We have to do something.

[thrilling music]

Not bad.

Don't you mean,
"You look so sexy, goddess"?

I can't wait to
get those fuckers back.

Why do I have to be
the one to go?

I'm a ghost
and you're a civilian.

If anything happens to you,

it can't just
get swept under a rug.

Plus, they need to see you

to know that
Niko lied all along.

What if they don't believe me?

Show them your neck.
No branding.

They'll know immediately.

They'll just kill me.

They won't.

Then they'll rape me
like they did to you.

Maybe if you were
15 years younger, they would.

Listen, let's make them
cannibalize themselves for power

and the whole thing
will crumble.

Divide and conquer.

Then use blackmail
as collateral.

Straight out of
their own playbook.

[Sofia] Remember the day
you came up to me at the office,

you asked about my hair and
then you asked about downtown?

Yeah. What about it?

You weren't wrong.

-What?
-You didn't see me.

You saw my identical twin
named Theda.

She killed Wendell Pierce
at the hotel that night.

She's property
of the organization

that Governor Hughes
was talking about

before he shot himself.

This is some wild shit.

Feel free to go
through all of that.

It has the full story.

Even the video of my sister
having sex with Governor Hughes.

Just don't let Madeline
catch you jerking off to it.

I don't want her
thinking it's me.

Why are you telling me
all of this?

In case you get killed?

Yeah, kind of.

Jesus!

You're the closest thing
I have to a friend there.

Okay. I'll take care of it.

Oh, and one more thing.

Maxwell's a part of it,
so nothing in-house.

Be very careful.

So glad you roped me
into all of this.

[chuckles] Thank you
for doing this for me, David.

I don't know why,
but I feel like I can trust you.

Yeah. Okay.

Whatever you need.

[tense music]

-Hey.
-Hi, babe.

Ooh, what is this?

So I wanted to surprise River,
and I got him an Xbox.

[sighs] That's very generous.

Except he doesn't
need that, but--

I know he doesn't need it.

But he's such a good boy

River, I know
I never told you this,

but I grew up without
my real mommy too.

I know it's hard for you.

But I love you,
and I'll always be here for you.

Okay?

An Xbox? You're the best!

I can't believe
you got me an Xbox.

Thank you.

You're sure you want to
go through with this?

I'm positive.

We only have one shot at this.

Don't.

Did you see the news
about Governor Hughes?

I saw.

So much potential
down the drain.

It's a shame.

You did well.

Thank you.

He could have been
such a great asset to us.

-Yeah.
-What is it?

-Nothing.

mad about the video.

What?

To play that video
wasn't my idea.

I wasn't happy either.

It's fine.

Just business.

I said, brothers.

Zachary, please walk
your son around the circle...

Now, when all the brothers
