1
00:00:05,685 --> 00:00:07,846
Previously on Billions.
2
00:00:07,888 --> 00:00:09,487
Truman had a sign on his desk
3
00:00:09,529 --> 00:00:11,409
that said,
"The buck stops here."
4
00:00:11,451 --> 00:00:14,492
Mine's gonna say,
"I am the buck."
5
00:00:14,534 --> 00:00:16,374
It's one thing to help keep
the trains running
6
00:00:16,416 --> 00:00:18,496
when it was just about Prince
staying rich and getting richer.
7
00:00:18,538 --> 00:00:20,538
But I have decided
that he is dangerous.
8
00:00:20,580 --> 00:00:22,660
Mr. Rhoads,
charges are dismissed.
9
00:00:22,702 --> 00:00:24,302
You are free to go.
10
00:00:24,344 --> 00:00:25,984
What's got your eye?
11
00:00:26,026 --> 00:00:27,465
You must be fielding job offers
by the dozen.
12
00:00:27,507 --> 00:00:29,427
I'm talking about US Attorney,
13
00:00:29,469 --> 00:00:31,830
Southern district of New York.
14
00:00:31,872 --> 00:00:33,912
-This guy's a fuckin' badass!
-Olé!
15
00:00:33,954 --> 00:00:35,954
This is the best thing that's
ever happened on this floor.
16
00:00:35,996 --> 00:00:38,116
He's got that
"Winston Dick Energy" happening.
17
00:00:38,158 --> 00:00:39,797
And when we win,
18
00:00:39,839 --> 00:00:41,840
you'll be feted
as a miracle worker.
19
00:00:41,882 --> 00:00:43,601
You're not a politician.
20
00:00:43,643 --> 00:00:45,363
You're hoping to contribute
by doing a public service.
21
00:00:45,405 --> 00:00:47,005
A statesman.
22
00:00:47,047 --> 00:00:49,049
Let's do this!
23
00:00:49,890 --> 00:00:51,329
Mr. President.
24
00:00:51,371 --> 00:00:54,853
It is an honour to hear from you.
25
00:01:33,613 --> 00:01:35,493
Hi, Mr. Wagner.
26
00:01:35,535 --> 00:01:37,817
Let's see what's
in the old footlocker, Omar.
27
00:01:38,858 --> 00:01:40,298
Let me get you your bottle.
28
00:02:12,292 --> 00:02:14,294
Here's your bottle.
29
00:02:16,216 --> 00:02:18,456
Ladies and gentlemen,
30
00:02:18,498 --> 00:02:21,261
the author himself,
Michael Lewis.
31
00:02:22,542 --> 00:02:24,542
So the street has changed.
32
00:02:24,584 --> 00:02:27,465
It's been cleaned up. Sanitised.
33
00:02:27,507 --> 00:02:29,147
I mean, no one says
"fuck" anymore.
34
00:02:29,189 --> 00:02:31,229
They've taken the strippers off
35
00:02:31,271 --> 00:02:32,790
the trading floors.
36
00:02:32,832 --> 00:02:35,393
In a way,
the lie has gone deeper
37
00:02:35,435 --> 00:02:36,874
because no one on the outside
38
00:02:36,916 --> 00:02:38,596
looks the way they are
on the inside.
39
00:02:38,638 --> 00:02:42,520
Except for you. I think of you
as the last holdout.
40
00:02:42,562 --> 00:02:44,682
The last wolves
in wolves' clothing.
41
00:02:44,724 --> 00:02:47,165
The last crass motherfuckers.
42
00:02:47,207 --> 00:02:49,767
So in that spirit,
43
00:02:49,809 --> 00:02:51,889
let's raise a glass
to crass motherfuckers
44
00:02:51,931 --> 00:02:53,972
and the 35th anniversary
of Liar's Poker.
45
00:02:58,058 --> 00:03:00,258
What a beautiful con
you've pulled, Lewis.
46
00:03:00,300 --> 00:03:02,900
They all think Liar's Poker was
a love letter to them. Kudos.
47
00:03:02,942 --> 00:03:05,623
It wasn't a con, Wags.
I just wrote it the way it was.
48
00:03:05,665 --> 00:03:07,225
And people see in it
what they want to see.
49
00:03:07,267 --> 00:03:09,787
Hmm. Like disco balls
and coke mirrors.
50
00:03:09,829 --> 00:03:10,868
Salut.
51
00:03:12,912 --> 00:03:14,832
Hey, you really got us right.
Thanks.
52
00:03:14,874 --> 00:03:16,434
You're gonna have to
tell me your name.
53
00:03:16,476 --> 00:03:18,478
-Clark.
-Ah, Clark.
54
00:03:21,121 --> 00:03:23,521
Eric fuckin' Scott.
55
00:03:23,563 --> 00:03:26,324
Wags!
56
00:03:26,366 --> 00:03:27,965
Glad to see you haven't
decamped to Florida yet
57
00:03:28,007 --> 00:03:29,167
like the the rest of 'em.
58
00:03:29,209 --> 00:03:30,848
I must love taxes
59
00:03:30,890 --> 00:03:33,051
and a bodega
bacon, egg and cheese.
60
00:03:33,093 --> 00:03:35,413
That's why I'm still
slugging it out in Gotham.
61
00:03:35,455 --> 00:03:37,575
No, the rumour is
your guy's rolling in Europe.
62
00:03:37,617 --> 00:03:39,537
New guy, new money now.
63
00:03:39,579 --> 00:03:43,381
And I'm making room in the Ark
for a select few old friends.
64
00:03:43,423 --> 00:03:46,104
Mike Wagner playing pitchman?
Sad.
65
00:03:46,146 --> 00:03:47,545
Maybe New York is dead
after all
66
00:03:47,587 --> 00:03:49,227
and I should be packing
for Brickell.
67
00:03:49,269 --> 00:03:51,829
I'm not selling you
a Veg-O-Matic here, buddy.
68
00:03:51,871 --> 00:03:53,911
I'm giving you a chance
to turn your wad over
69
00:03:53,953 --> 00:03:55,955
a last time or two.
70
00:03:56,916 --> 00:03:58,076
Let's drink on this.
71
00:03:58,118 --> 00:03:59,717
You are a legend, Wags,
72
00:03:59,759 --> 00:04:02,440
so I wanna hear you out.
73
00:04:02,482 --> 00:04:04,522
You're the guy that ran up
a tab so high at Ponte's
74
00:04:04,564 --> 00:04:07,125
that Joe almost had to take
out a mob loan
75
00:04:07,167 --> 00:04:09,527
just to keep serving
those angry lobsters.
76
00:04:09,569 --> 00:04:11,209
Oh, Ponte's was nothing.
77
00:04:11,251 --> 00:04:13,010
Do you remember when
you went to Career Day
78
00:04:13,052 --> 00:04:14,892
for that escort's kid?
79
00:04:14,934 --> 00:04:17,855
What was that, '96?
That fucking killed me.
80
00:04:17,897 --> 00:04:19,817
Her name was Claire.
She was special to me.
81
00:04:19,859 --> 00:04:21,299
Right, Claire.
82
00:04:21,341 --> 00:04:22,660
You hired her for, uh,
83
00:04:22,702 --> 00:04:24,382
that Tiger Cub's
bachelor party.
84
00:04:24,424 --> 00:04:26,464
Oh, that's right.
The poor guy got simplex
85
00:04:26,506 --> 00:04:28,025
on his lip on his wedding day.
86
00:04:28,067 --> 00:04:30,668
You hired him
'cause you felt so bad.
87
00:04:30,710 --> 00:04:32,270
Yeah, till he tanked
one quarter
88
00:04:32,312 --> 00:04:34,272
and Wags used his desk
as a urinal.
89
00:04:34,314 --> 00:04:35,793
Well, there was a day
90
00:04:35,835 --> 00:04:37,395
you stepped wrong
on Wags' trading floor,
91
00:04:37,437 --> 00:04:41,399
and he would bloody you up
like Jake the Muss.
92
00:04:41,441 --> 00:04:43,161
I can still walk the walk.
93
00:04:43,203 --> 00:04:44,482
Mm.
94
00:04:44,524 --> 00:04:46,043
You should hear me on this:
95
00:04:46,085 --> 00:04:50,047
Michael Prince Capital
is where you want to be.
96
00:04:50,089 --> 00:04:51,929
We're not taking on
institutional money,
97
00:04:51,971 --> 00:04:54,612
but like I said...
98
00:04:54,654 --> 00:04:56,454
I can get exceptions made
for you lugs.
99
00:04:56,496 --> 00:04:58,096
And I'll make some room
in the fund
100
00:04:58,138 --> 00:04:59,697
for some of your clients,
but only the A-listers.
101
00:04:59,739 --> 00:05:01,459
Make you look like superstars.
102
00:05:01,501 --> 00:05:04,462
You always did have
the best ideas about...
103
00:05:04,504 --> 00:05:06,144
which club to hit
after the Super Bowl,
104
00:05:06,186 --> 00:05:09,227
or where to get the best
space cakes in Amsterdam.
105
00:05:09,269 --> 00:05:10,948
And he killed it
'cause that fucking attitude
106
00:05:10,990 --> 00:05:13,191
drove you like Max Verstappen.
107
00:05:13,233 --> 00:05:14,712
No offence, but now...
108
00:05:14,754 --> 00:05:18,075
you got about as much edge
as Barry Manilow.
109
00:05:18,117 --> 00:05:19,717
Offence fucking taken.
110
00:05:19,759 --> 00:05:21,199
Hey, hey, hey,
111
00:05:21,241 --> 00:05:22,840
everybody gets left behind
at some point.
112
00:05:22,882 --> 00:05:24,842
You privately embrace
your obsolescence
113
00:05:24,884 --> 00:05:26,884
and hope nobody
notices for a while.
114
00:05:26,926 --> 00:05:28,766
Speak for yourself,
motherfucker.
115
00:05:28,808 --> 00:05:30,528
It was one thing when
you worked for a bad ass,
116
00:05:30,570 --> 00:05:32,290
but now you're in
a politician's stable,
117
00:05:32,332 --> 00:05:36,654
which is one step away
from the fucking glue factory.
118
00:05:36,696 --> 00:05:39,337
Keep talking
and I'll mollywop ya right here
119
00:05:39,379 --> 00:05:41,381
in front of the whole gang.
120
00:05:42,502 --> 00:05:45,823
I'll wait a while
for the Cialis to kick in.
121
00:05:45,865 --> 00:05:47,665
Hey, Omar,
122
00:05:47,707 --> 00:05:49,867
put my bottle back
in the locker.
123
00:05:49,909 --> 00:05:51,028
Let these assholes go back
124
00:05:51,070 --> 00:05:53,072
to choking on their usual swill.
125
00:05:57,357 --> 00:05:59,517
Well, he got fucking sensitive.
126
00:05:59,559 --> 00:06:01,719
You couldn't buy it
for yourself,
127
00:06:01,761 --> 00:06:03,803
so I figured I would.
128
00:06:10,690 --> 00:06:12,692
It's perfect.
129
00:06:14,974 --> 00:06:16,093
Heading out?
130
00:06:16,135 --> 00:06:17,655
Yeah, but you might not want to
131
00:06:17,697 --> 00:06:19,136
leave the office for a while.
132
00:06:19,178 --> 00:06:21,939
Oh, the going away thing, yeah.
133
00:06:21,981 --> 00:06:24,224
Scooter's got it.
I-I have something else.
134
00:06:34,794 --> 00:06:38,276
Gratitude, shame, entitlement,
135
00:06:38,318 --> 00:06:41,599
these are our...
136
00:06:41,641 --> 00:06:43,681
I don't really
traffic in that crap.
137
00:06:43,723 --> 00:06:47,205
No, on this occasion,
the eve of my departure,
138
00:06:47,247 --> 00:06:49,727
I would like to say
to you all...
139
00:06:49,769 --> 00:06:52,730
I would like to say:
You're welcome,
140
00:06:52,772 --> 00:06:54,652
for all that I've
brought to MPC.
141
00:06:54,694 --> 00:06:59,176
And in the words of
the great poet DJ Khaled,
142
00:06:59,218 --> 00:07:01,619
"Every time I step
up in the building,
143
00:07:01,661 --> 00:07:03,981
everybody hands go up,
144
00:07:04,023 --> 00:07:05,503
and they stay there.
145
00:07:05,545 --> 00:07:08,426
'Cause all I do is win."
146
00:07:08,468 --> 00:07:12,270
Anyone else care
to say something?
147
00:07:12,312 --> 00:07:14,512
-You sure?
-Is it weird that I'll miss him?
148
00:07:14,554 --> 00:07:16,754
-Objectively, yes.
-Right?
149
00:07:16,796 --> 00:07:19,477
-Yeah, fuck you, Winston.
-But after the "Princident,"
150
00:07:19,519 --> 00:07:21,759
Winston was the only one
who looked at me the same way.
151
00:07:21,801 --> 00:07:23,281
But that way was slavish
and pathetic.
152
00:07:23,323 --> 00:07:25,122
Don't be shy.
Anybody?
153
00:07:25,164 --> 00:07:27,365
Anybody?
154
00:07:27,407 --> 00:07:29,126
Okay, then. I'll just say
one more thing.
155
00:07:29,168 --> 00:07:31,689
Ah, actually, Winston,
I have something to share.
156
00:07:31,731 --> 00:07:33,010
Is Prince coming?
157
00:07:33,052 --> 00:07:35,613
Uh, no. No, he's not.
158
00:07:35,655 --> 00:07:37,815
He's... not.
159
00:07:37,857 --> 00:07:40,097
But he did ask me
to convey to you
160
00:07:40,139 --> 00:07:42,940
that you truly have been
a member of this...
161
00:07:42,982 --> 00:07:44,662
-Team!
-He said "organisation."
162
00:07:44,704 --> 00:07:46,223
He usually calls it a team.
163
00:07:46,265 --> 00:07:48,267
This time he went
with organisation.
164
00:07:49,188 --> 00:07:51,349
And so, yeah.
165
00:07:51,391 --> 00:07:53,393
Goodbye and thanks.
166
00:08:11,611 --> 00:08:13,613
Goodbye.
167
00:08:28,468 --> 00:08:30,948
I hate it. And you're proposing
to send a copy of it
168
00:08:30,990 --> 00:08:33,911
to Chuck Rhoades?
I hate everything about that.
169
00:08:33,953 --> 00:08:35,793
Can you figure out
why I love it?
170
00:08:35,835 --> 00:08:37,837
Are you that good?
171
00:08:38,438 --> 00:08:40,758
Okay. Okay.
172
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,160
The purpose of
a Super PAC is to get
173
00:08:43,202 --> 00:08:45,963
high-net-worth supporters
to invest in your candidacy
174
00:08:46,005 --> 00:08:48,806
in a way that seems arms-length.
You know this.
175
00:08:48,848 --> 00:08:50,888
The idea is not to put yourself
in a position
176
00:08:50,930 --> 00:08:53,010
where you're gonna face
federal charges.
177
00:08:53,052 --> 00:08:55,134
That is, I concede,
the usual plan.
178
00:08:56,376 --> 00:08:58,416
Ah.
179
00:08:58,458 --> 00:09:00,177
You're running a dye test here.
180
00:09:00,219 --> 00:09:02,742
You want to see if Chuck Rhoades
is paying attention?
181
00:09:04,544 --> 00:09:08,185
Okay. A trainer feeds
a caged tiger fresh beef
182
00:09:08,227 --> 00:09:11,469
so it develops a taste for that
instead of trainer.
183
00:09:11,511 --> 00:09:14,712
The tiger's waiting by his door,
same time every day,
184
00:09:14,754 --> 00:09:16,594
ready to pounce on it.
185
00:09:16,636 --> 00:09:18,638
But you know the scariest moment
of a trainer's life?
186
00:09:19,959 --> 00:09:21,359
When he goes inside
the enclosure
187
00:09:21,401 --> 00:09:22,920
and the cat isn't there.
188
00:09:22,962 --> 00:09:24,442
They can't see it.
189
00:09:24,484 --> 00:09:26,163
Doesn't mean that
cat escaped,
190
00:09:26,205 --> 00:09:27,685
it means it's hiding,
191
00:09:27,727 --> 00:09:30,368
ready to revert
to its nature and hunt.
192
00:09:30,410 --> 00:09:32,009
I can't afford to let
Chuck Rhoades
193
00:09:32,051 --> 00:09:33,731
revert to his nature.
194
00:09:33,773 --> 00:09:35,813
So you're feeding him
some red meat,
195
00:09:35,855 --> 00:09:38,015
so you know exactly
where he's coming from.
196
00:09:38,057 --> 00:09:39,336
That's right.
197
00:09:39,378 --> 00:09:42,219
Still hate it.
198
00:09:42,261 --> 00:09:43,901
Can I still hate it? 'Cause...
199
00:09:43,943 --> 00:09:46,824
...still hate it.
200
00:09:46,866 --> 00:09:48,948
Kate Sacker's
gonna get it to him.
201
00:09:54,554 --> 00:09:56,153
Hi, Wendy.
202
00:09:56,195 --> 00:09:57,755
I was wondering if you could
write me a prescription.
203
00:09:57,797 --> 00:09:59,957
For Wellbutrin.
204
00:09:59,999 --> 00:10:02,520
Um, if necessary, of course.
205
00:10:02,562 --> 00:10:04,642
Why don't we set
an intake session for tomorrow
206
00:10:04,684 --> 00:10:06,323
-then we can decide--
-I only need one, actually.
207
00:10:06,365 --> 00:10:08,325
One pill?
208
00:10:08,367 --> 00:10:10,207
I've been taking it
for a while now,
209
00:10:10,249 --> 00:10:11,969
and it's a good fit.
210
00:10:12,011 --> 00:10:13,691
I just dropped my last one
down the sink this morning,
211
00:10:13,733 --> 00:10:15,453
and my, uh,
212
00:10:15,495 --> 00:10:17,855
prescriber has been out of town
for a couple of days.
213
00:10:17,897 --> 00:10:19,697
I'll be able to get
my full refill soon.
214
00:10:19,739 --> 00:10:21,659
Your "prescriber"--
you mean your GP?
215
00:10:21,701 --> 00:10:23,941
Um...
216
00:10:23,983 --> 00:10:25,663
- Yeah.
- Ben Kim,
217
00:10:25,705 --> 00:10:28,265
who prescribed the Wellbutrin?
218
00:10:28,307 --> 00:10:31,148
Fine. I've been seeing
an outside psychiatrist.
219
00:10:31,190 --> 00:10:32,710
She prescribed the meds,
220
00:10:32,752 --> 00:10:33,951
but she's been in Vienna
for a conference.
221
00:10:33,993 --> 00:10:35,713
Getting back tomorrow night.
222
00:10:35,755 --> 00:10:37,875
I see. Um...
223
00:10:37,917 --> 00:10:39,997
How long have you been
seeing this doctor?
224
00:10:40,039 --> 00:10:43,360
Respectfully, this is
separate from what you do.
225
00:10:43,402 --> 00:10:45,122
We all think you're an awesome
performance coach--
226
00:10:45,164 --> 00:10:47,647
Three months? Longer?
227
00:10:49,489 --> 00:10:51,491
Six months.
228
00:10:52,371 --> 00:10:54,171
So, um...
229
00:10:54,213 --> 00:10:55,733
will you help?
230
00:10:55,775 --> 00:10:57,695
With the prescription?
231
00:10:57,737 --> 00:10:59,739
Of course, yes.
232
00:11:06,946 --> 00:11:10,910
"We all."
Who else is seeing her?
233
00:11:18,758 --> 00:11:20,758
I assume we're taking
down the Russ & Daughters novi
234
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,880
in this random office
so that yours doesn't smell like
235
00:11:22,922 --> 00:11:25,763
an appetising shop
during your next meeting?
236
00:11:25,805 --> 00:11:28,167
Actually, this is your office.
237
00:11:31,210 --> 00:11:33,212
If you want it.
238
00:11:36,255 --> 00:11:39,216
"Come join me for a celebratory
kickoff breakfast, Ira."
239
00:11:39,258 --> 00:11:41,298
Of course, it couldn't be
just that. It was a trap.
240
00:11:41,340 --> 00:11:43,060
Oh!
241
00:11:43,102 --> 00:11:46,704
Trap sounds so sinister.
No. It's an opportunity.
242
00:11:46,746 --> 00:11:48,425
Come on, you've got the money,
243
00:11:48,467 --> 00:11:50,387
you've got the wife,
the new kid.
244
00:11:50,429 --> 00:11:51,669
But you know what
you're missing?
245
00:11:51,711 --> 00:11:53,070
An alpaca?
246
00:11:53,112 --> 00:11:54,672
The juice! The action!
247
00:11:54,714 --> 00:11:56,714
Sense of mission.
248
00:11:56,756 --> 00:11:58,916
The long hours.
The long odds.
249
00:11:58,958 --> 00:12:00,558
The shitty pay.
250
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,680
Ah, Chuck, I've been
a prosecutor before--
251
00:12:02,722 --> 00:12:05,523
N-n-no, we were just
line prosses back then.
252
00:12:05,565 --> 00:12:08,686
Answering up. You've never
done it with me in charge.
253
00:12:08,728 --> 00:12:12,129
Only running the ops we choose,
fighting back to back,
254
00:12:12,171 --> 00:12:13,771
no matter how outgunned by
255
00:12:13,813 --> 00:12:15,973
pricey douchebag
defence attorneys.
256
00:12:16,015 --> 00:12:19,817
Taking down the even bigger
douchebags who employ them.
257
00:12:19,859 --> 00:12:22,421
Be my Deputy US Attorney.
258
00:12:25,464 --> 00:12:27,785
Nope. No way.
259
00:12:27,827 --> 00:12:30,067
I'm sorry. You know
I'd love to spend all day
260
00:12:30,109 --> 00:12:32,229
hanging with you.
That's the alluring part.
261
00:12:32,271 --> 00:12:34,271
- Mm.
- And the...
262
00:12:34,313 --> 00:12:36,554
chance to do a thing that
actually matters does appeal...
263
00:12:36,596 --> 00:12:39,116
I'll stay quiet and let you
talk yourself into it.
264
00:12:39,158 --> 00:12:40,678
But you know we'd end up
arguing all day.
265
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,239
There's no conversation
more boring
266
00:12:42,281 --> 00:12:44,962
than the one
where everyone agrees.
267
00:12:45,004 --> 00:12:47,484
Montaigne's a deep pull,
I'll give you that.
268
00:12:47,526 --> 00:12:49,967
Oh.
269
00:12:50,009 --> 00:12:51,769
Swabbies are on the deck, boss.
270
00:12:51,811 --> 00:12:53,931
Ah, I see you've succeeded
with one recruit at least.
271
00:12:53,973 --> 00:12:57,657
Just one? You sure?
At least one.
272
00:13:10,189 --> 00:13:14,391
I am genuinely
thrilled to be here.
273
00:13:14,433 --> 00:13:16,073
And I don't thrill easy.
274
00:13:16,115 --> 00:13:17,715
Uh-uh.
275
00:13:17,757 --> 00:13:19,637
Oh, we're going to hold
the rich and powerful
276
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,199
and criminal accountable
for their actions,
277
00:13:22,241 --> 00:13:24,243
no matter the cost.
278
00:13:25,164 --> 00:13:26,724
I want you to go back
to your desks
279
00:13:26,766 --> 00:13:29,246
and pull the cases you
thought were too hot,
280
00:13:29,288 --> 00:13:31,969
too hard, too close
to the third rail.
281
00:13:32,011 --> 00:13:33,651
Pitch me those cases--
282
00:13:33,693 --> 00:13:35,532
directly,
not through channels--
283
00:13:35,574 --> 00:13:39,376
and together we will take
that unformed carbon
284
00:13:39,418 --> 00:13:42,021
and pressurise it
into diamonds.
285
00:13:43,342 --> 00:13:45,344
Into wins.
286
00:13:47,787 --> 00:13:49,186
All right, let's do it.
287
00:13:58,958 --> 00:14:01,518
Fuck no,
I don't see a shrink.
288
00:14:01,560 --> 00:14:04,123
Do you talk about work
with your other therapist?
289
00:14:05,284 --> 00:14:06,844
Yes.
290
00:14:06,886 --> 00:14:09,006
But it's a totally
separate thing.
291
00:14:09,048 --> 00:14:10,848
Church and state, you know?
292
00:14:10,890 --> 00:14:13,410
Dr. Mayer is
your classic Freudian.
293
00:14:13,452 --> 00:14:15,212
She's all about
getting to the "why,"
294
00:14:15,254 --> 00:14:17,214
even if it has
unexpected results.
295
00:14:17,256 --> 00:14:19,016
It's a trip.
296
00:14:19,058 --> 00:14:21,939
Seems I have a lot of resentment
for maternal figures in my life.
297
00:14:21,981 --> 00:14:24,982
I mostly talk about weird
recurring dreams with her.
298
00:14:25,024 --> 00:14:27,504
Like, you don't need to
know about sex dreams, right?
299
00:14:27,546 --> 00:14:29,707
It's not work relevant.
300
00:14:29,749 --> 00:14:32,509
Except like, when
it's about the displacement
301
00:14:32,551 --> 00:14:35,993
and sublimation of
my desires in the workplace.
302
00:14:36,035 --> 00:14:37,955
But it's only sometimes
about that.
303
00:14:37,997 --> 00:14:39,636
I know my rights.
304
00:14:39,678 --> 00:14:41,478
That includes
the Patient's Bill of Rights,
305
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,000
to not discuss shit
about what I discuss
306
00:14:43,042 --> 00:14:44,401
or with whom I discuss.
307
00:14:44,443 --> 00:14:46,764
-So there is someone?
-Or if I discuss.
308
00:14:46,806 --> 00:14:49,646
I tell all my friends, just
because a cop asks a question
309
00:14:49,688 --> 00:14:50,968
doesn't mean you gotta answer.
310
00:14:51,010 --> 00:14:52,810
I owe Dr. Mayer big time.
311
00:14:52,852 --> 00:14:55,092
I used to wake up from about
3 to 4 a.m. each night
312
00:14:55,134 --> 00:14:57,574
replaying this conversation
I had once with an ex.
313
00:14:57,616 --> 00:14:59,216
What kind of conversation?
314
00:14:59,258 --> 00:15:00,497
Well, that's
between me and the doc.
315
00:15:00,539 --> 00:15:02,059
But the thing is, it's gone.
316
00:15:02,101 --> 00:15:03,500
And now I'm all Z's
from eyes shut
317
00:15:03,542 --> 00:15:05,062
till open in the morning.
318
00:15:05,104 --> 00:15:07,264
So you've never met
with Dr. Mayer?
319
00:15:07,306 --> 00:15:10,027
Okay, fine. I just started.
320
00:15:10,069 --> 00:15:12,669
I hardly said anything
in my sessions.
321
00:15:12,711 --> 00:15:14,752
So it hasn't really
paid off for you?
322
00:15:14,794 --> 00:15:16,874
Can't say that. No.
323
00:15:16,916 --> 00:15:19,997
I'd been burying
some of my natural
324
00:15:20,039 --> 00:15:22,920
aggressive tendencies
since the fund blew up.
325
00:15:22,962 --> 00:15:26,003
But... well, I'm back
to Liver King levels now.
326
00:15:26,045 --> 00:15:28,047
At work and in the bedroom.
327
00:15:31,530 --> 00:15:34,251
I've been using
every inch of that Cali King.
328
00:15:34,293 --> 00:15:38,778
Train kept a-rollin'
all night long.
329
00:15:41,420 --> 00:15:44,021
Who suggested you see her?
330
00:15:44,063 --> 00:15:47,384
Person who hired me.
331
00:15:47,426 --> 00:15:49,546
Have I not supported you
in our work together?
332
00:15:49,588 --> 00:15:51,909
It isn't about that.
I am not only the work.
333
00:15:51,951 --> 00:15:54,671
And you can't deny your focus
is more on results than people.
334
00:15:54,713 --> 00:15:57,154
Dr. Mayer takes
a holistic approach.
335
00:15:57,196 --> 00:16:00,637
So I've heard. I didn't realise
my approach was lacking.
336
00:16:00,679 --> 00:16:03,040
Or that you, of all people,
337
00:16:03,082 --> 00:16:05,522
didn't trust me
with your whole self.
338
00:16:05,564 --> 00:16:07,805
How are we supposed
to move forward
339
00:16:07,847 --> 00:16:09,726
with that sitting between us?
340
00:16:09,768 --> 00:16:12,249
It isn't about trust.
Our people needed a real doctor.
341
00:16:12,291 --> 00:16:15,492
-And so did I.
-I am a real doctor.
342
00:16:15,534 --> 00:16:17,654
Technically, yes.
But I'm not sure anyone here
343
00:16:17,696 --> 00:16:19,096
feels comfortable
coming to you with anything
344
00:16:19,138 --> 00:16:20,537
besides work stuff.
345
00:16:20,579 --> 00:16:22,780
And Mayer creates
a very safe atmosphere.
346
00:16:22,822 --> 00:16:25,424
A safe feeling,
just being around her.
347
00:16:31,831 --> 00:16:33,833
Excuse me.
348
00:16:39,158 --> 00:16:40,517
How do you know she's here?
349
00:16:40,559 --> 00:16:41,919
Security called to let her up.
350
00:16:48,567 --> 00:16:51,008
Who are you here to see,
ma'am-- uh, Bonnie?
351
00:16:51,050 --> 00:16:53,052
Drop the bullshit, Peach.
352
00:16:54,693 --> 00:16:56,453
Babe, babe, babe.
353
00:16:56,495 --> 00:16:58,735
I've been waiting for you
to step out of those elevators
354
00:16:58,777 --> 00:17:00,617
since I got back here.
355
00:17:00,659 --> 00:17:04,701
But maybe we should talk
after work, on the down low.
356
00:17:04,743 --> 00:17:07,144
Jesus Christ.
I'm not here for that.
357
00:17:07,186 --> 00:17:10,587
- Oh, yeah. Just--
- Bonnie!
358
00:17:10,629 --> 00:17:12,069
What can we help you with?
359
00:17:12,111 --> 00:17:14,431
It's what I can help you with.
360
00:17:14,473 --> 00:17:16,233
Your former man
Winston is shopping
361
00:17:16,275 --> 00:17:18,235
a new piece of
risk-management software
362
00:17:18,277 --> 00:17:20,197
on the Street right now.
363
00:17:20,239 --> 00:17:21,919
He pitched it
at my firm this morning,
364
00:17:21,961 --> 00:17:23,440
and I haven't seen
the principals this excited
365
00:17:23,482 --> 00:17:24,641
since they were
rubbing up against me
366
00:17:24,683 --> 00:17:26,043
at the Christmas party.
367
00:17:26,085 --> 00:17:27,804
I heard he left here
just yesterday,
368
00:17:27,846 --> 00:17:29,006
so the timing seemed sus.
369
00:17:29,048 --> 00:17:30,808
Goddamnit!
370
00:17:30,850 --> 00:17:33,530
And on my watch. Fuck!
371
00:17:33,572 --> 00:17:36,133
That moonlighting prick.
Where does he get the energy?
372
00:17:36,175 --> 00:17:37,694
-Fuck!
-You already said "fuck."
373
00:17:37,736 --> 00:17:39,296
But, yeah, you're right.
374
00:17:39,338 --> 00:17:40,817
He must've developed this
before he left.
375
00:17:40,859 --> 00:17:43,740
WDE Risk Management.
What's WDE...?
376
00:17:43,782 --> 00:17:45,782
Winston Dick Energy.
377
00:17:45,824 --> 00:17:48,305
I don't espouse it, I just
know what it stands for.
378
00:17:48,347 --> 00:17:51,030
He said it... often.
379
00:17:53,112 --> 00:17:55,192
Why are you willing
to come share this with us?
380
00:17:55,234 --> 00:17:57,554
'Cause if there's one thing
I hate more than this place,
381
00:17:57,596 --> 00:18:01,758
it's backstabbing thieves,
so I had to set things right.
382
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,520
-No, that's not it--
-Yeah, no way.
383
00:18:03,562 --> 00:18:05,442
Total bullshit.
384
00:18:05,484 --> 00:18:07,364
Fine. I'm looking for a bump
in comp at my new firm.
385
00:18:07,406 --> 00:18:09,086
Give me an offer
I can use as leverage,
386
00:18:09,128 --> 00:18:10,247
and I'll forward you
the pitch deck.
387
00:18:10,289 --> 00:18:11,448
-Right.
-Naturally.
388
00:18:11,490 --> 00:18:12,930
That's the Bonnie we know.
389
00:18:12,972 --> 00:18:14,974
We'll write something up
and email you.
390
00:18:18,777 --> 00:18:20,779
Still looking fly
in that fleece.
391
00:18:24,944 --> 00:18:26,946
Call me.
392
00:18:35,914 --> 00:18:37,314
What kind of AI does it use?
393
00:18:37,356 --> 00:18:39,276
ASI for risk mitigation.
394
00:18:39,318 --> 00:18:41,318
It works automatically
across all sectors
395
00:18:41,360 --> 00:18:43,240
to detect hidden exposure
throughout the portfolio
396
00:18:43,282 --> 00:18:44,641
and reduce it
through a variety
397
00:18:44,683 --> 00:18:46,283
of hedges
and other techniques.
398
00:18:46,325 --> 00:18:48,605
The edge this would
give on returns is...
399
00:18:48,647 --> 00:18:51,288
-considerable.
-We need it back.
400
00:18:51,330 --> 00:18:53,810
And to make it clear that
no one takes from us and lives.
401
00:18:53,852 --> 00:18:55,212
Let me be clear that,
for the record,
402
00:18:55,254 --> 00:18:56,333
you're speaking in metaphor.
403
00:18:56,375 --> 00:18:57,814
If it makes you feel better.
404
00:18:57,856 --> 00:18:59,016
I'll get an injunction
filed right away
405
00:18:59,058 --> 00:19:00,857
to stop him from shopping it.
406
00:19:00,899 --> 00:19:03,340
It's a work for hire.
He has no legal leg to stand on.
407
00:19:03,382 --> 00:19:05,742
But what about the optics
of Mike taking legal action
408
00:19:05,784 --> 00:19:07,864
against a former employee
in this pro-worker environment?
409
00:19:07,906 --> 00:19:10,509
If we don't, we run the risk
of losing the tech, full stop.
410
00:19:13,552 --> 00:19:15,272
Say what you're
really worried about.
411
00:19:15,314 --> 00:19:17,074
Reputation. Yours.
Which is of
412
00:19:17,116 --> 00:19:19,876
particular importance
right now. But also mine.
413
00:19:19,918 --> 00:19:21,798
If it becomes public that
in my early days at the helm,
414
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,161
someone disrespected me
like this...
415
00:19:24,203 --> 00:19:25,682
I'd rather do this quietly.
416
00:19:25,724 --> 00:19:27,284
You talking
about reputation or ego?
417
00:19:27,326 --> 00:19:29,206
In this case,
there's no difference.
418
00:19:29,248 --> 00:19:30,567
I'm tied up in this
shit too, now, since he was,
419
00:19:30,609 --> 00:19:32,209
for a minute,
also my employee.
420
00:19:32,251 --> 00:19:33,490
I'll own my mistakes,
but give us a minute
421
00:19:33,532 --> 00:19:35,172
to make this thing right.
422
00:19:35,214 --> 00:19:36,493
I'm willing to gamble
and give you a minute,
423
00:19:36,535 --> 00:19:38,175
but not much more.
424
00:19:38,217 --> 00:19:40,137
Greed or fear,
which will you appeal?
425
00:19:40,179 --> 00:19:41,979
You really want to know?
426
00:19:42,021 --> 00:19:44,703
You have 48 hours, then Kate
files the injunction.
427
00:19:49,748 --> 00:19:52,429
I feel obliged to tell you
that you are gambling
428
00:19:52,471 --> 00:19:54,391
like Phil Mickelson
pressing a Nassau.
429
00:19:54,433 --> 00:19:56,113
It's 48 hours, Kate.
430
00:19:56,155 --> 00:19:58,155
And like Lefty,
I can usually make the shot.
431
00:19:58,197 --> 00:19:59,916
I'm not only talking about this.
432
00:19:59,958 --> 00:20:03,320
Ah, you delivered the Super PAC
filing to the SDNY.
433
00:20:03,362 --> 00:20:05,002
Yes. But I have a...
434
00:20:05,044 --> 00:20:07,124
low confidence interval
on the plan succeeding.
435
00:20:07,166 --> 00:20:08,965
Why's that?
436
00:20:09,007 --> 00:20:11,728
Chuck's always been as smart
as you, me, whomever else.
437
00:20:11,770 --> 00:20:15,092
In the past, his emotions
have allowed him to forget that.
438
00:20:15,134 --> 00:20:19,017
But I just... don't know
that's where we are now.
439
00:20:21,100 --> 00:20:22,499
Thanks.
440
00:20:22,541 --> 00:20:24,543
Okay.
441
00:20:26,905 --> 00:20:28,665
- That case did it for me.
- Hmm.
442
00:20:28,707 --> 00:20:31,188
Like reading a Penthouse Forum
in days of yore.
443
00:20:31,230 --> 00:20:33,390
Creative application of RICO.
444
00:20:33,432 --> 00:20:35,352
Real teeth there.
Instant headlines.
445
00:20:35,394 --> 00:20:37,434
Maybe not the kind we want.
Um...
446
00:20:37,476 --> 00:20:39,478
Didn't feel like
lightning to me.
447
00:20:42,721 --> 00:20:44,723
What's so distracting?
448
00:20:45,484 --> 00:20:48,045
Prince Super PAC filing
449
00:20:48,087 --> 00:20:49,926
with the Federal
Election Commission.
450
00:20:49,968 --> 00:20:51,288
Anything juicy?
451
00:20:51,330 --> 00:20:52,649
Don't get
452
00:20:52,691 --> 00:20:53,690
waylaid with this right now.
453
00:20:53,732 --> 00:20:55,734
Let's make some cases.
454
00:20:57,136 --> 00:20:58,575
You know it.
455
00:20:58,617 --> 00:21:01,058
Amanda Torre, Securities Unit.
456
00:21:01,100 --> 00:21:02,499
When I get face time
with the bosses,
457
00:21:02,541 --> 00:21:04,141
I'm not bringing any weak shit.
458
00:21:04,183 --> 00:21:06,983
Oh. We speaking
our thoughts aloud, Ms. Torre?
459
00:21:07,025 --> 00:21:09,626
No, what I'm bringing you
is a fog-cutter,
460
00:21:09,668 --> 00:21:11,428
a case that's going to
make noise in the press.
461
00:21:11,470 --> 00:21:12,949
One that's precedent-setting,
462
00:21:12,991 --> 00:21:14,591
with a high-profile target
for a bad guy
463
00:21:14,633 --> 00:21:16,513
and victims you can
really pull for.
464
00:21:16,555 --> 00:21:18,155
Oh, and one with
a clear road to victory.
465
00:21:18,197 --> 00:21:19,996
Anything less,
and I'm wasting your time.
466
00:21:20,038 --> 00:21:22,999
-Quite the wish list.
-Wish granted. Here you go.
467
00:21:23,041 --> 00:21:24,721
Pump-and-dump scheme.
468
00:21:24,763 --> 00:21:27,244
Wolf of Wall Street
lead broker. Scuzzy lawyers.
469
00:21:27,286 --> 00:21:29,926
-Working people defrauded.
-She's playing all the hits.
470
00:21:29,968 --> 00:21:32,489
My SEC contact is ready
to formalise a complaint.
471
00:21:32,531 --> 00:21:34,050
The FBI and I
turned one of his traders
472
00:21:34,092 --> 00:21:36,094
like she was Adriana La Cerva.
473
00:21:37,456 --> 00:21:38,815
Well, keep her going, then.
474
00:21:38,857 --> 00:21:40,056
Come back
when you really have him.
475
00:21:40,098 --> 00:21:41,778
Right now, feels thin.
476
00:21:41,820 --> 00:21:44,461
I'm sorry, um...
477
00:21:44,503 --> 00:21:46,383
what feels thin about this?
478
00:21:46,425 --> 00:21:48,665
Can I get some guidance, or--
479
00:21:48,707 --> 00:21:52,189
Uh, where were you when He laid
the foundation of the earth?
480
00:21:52,231 --> 00:21:53,910
The fuck does that mean?
481
00:21:53,952 --> 00:21:57,115
Not to us
to question the exalted.
482
00:22:00,759 --> 00:22:03,240
Come on, I'll tell
you some war stories.
483
00:22:05,324 --> 00:22:07,364
I know the first prosecution
has a lot riding on it,
484
00:22:07,406 --> 00:22:09,806
but we've gotta
break the seal at some point.
485
00:22:09,848 --> 00:22:11,488
One should make his decisions
486
00:22:11,530 --> 00:22:13,410
within the space
of seven breaths.
487
00:22:13,452 --> 00:22:15,011
So I did.
488
00:22:15,053 --> 00:22:16,693
Gandhi?
489
00:22:16,735 --> 00:22:19,696
Uh, Book of the Samurai.
490
00:22:19,738 --> 00:22:21,458
Well... perfect
491
00:22:21,500 --> 00:22:23,780
is the enemy of the good.
Does it say that in there?
492
00:22:23,822 --> 00:22:25,342
We had a stack of winners,
493
00:22:25,384 --> 00:22:26,543
and that was before
Ms. Torre walked in.
494
00:22:26,585 --> 00:22:30,106
And she was spittin' truth.
495
00:22:30,148 --> 00:22:32,389
So, what more are we
looking for? Clue me in here.
496
00:22:32,431 --> 00:22:34,791
80 and 0, buddy.
497
00:22:34,833 --> 00:22:36,793
That was the
personal record at one point.
498
00:22:36,835 --> 00:22:38,675
And I got it
by picking the winners,
499
00:22:38,717 --> 00:22:40,397
not betting
the swayback nags.
500
00:22:40,439 --> 00:22:42,441
I know what I'm doing.
501
00:22:42,761 --> 00:22:44,763
You sure that's all it is?
502
00:22:47,526 --> 00:22:51,568
There was once an aura
amongst federal prosecutors,
503
00:22:51,610 --> 00:22:55,412
something noble and untouchable.
504
00:22:55,454 --> 00:22:57,013
It made them king-like
in their ability
505
00:22:57,055 --> 00:22:59,856
to either indict
or refuse to charge.
506
00:22:59,898 --> 00:23:02,499
Now my record earned me
a part of that,
507
00:23:02,541 --> 00:23:06,102
until I made some... missteps.
508
00:23:06,144 --> 00:23:08,745
But I'm gonna get it back.
509
00:23:08,787 --> 00:23:11,067
For the very honour of the job.
510
00:23:11,109 --> 00:23:12,669
You brought the honour back
511
00:23:12,711 --> 00:23:14,351
the moment you walked
into the office again.
512
00:23:14,393 --> 00:23:17,073
I like the office.
I can do something from it.
513
00:23:17,115 --> 00:23:21,198
So I can't be rash.
And I can't be emotional.
514
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,401
And I have to pick my spots.
515
00:23:24,443 --> 00:23:25,842
You didn't ask me
to work by your side
516
00:23:25,884 --> 00:23:27,244
so I'd say
nice things to you,
517
00:23:27,286 --> 00:23:29,366
but I'm gonna do it anyway.
518
00:23:29,408 --> 00:23:32,249
You're the best prosecutor
ever sat this office
519
00:23:32,291 --> 00:23:34,851
because you used both your
intellect and your emotions.
520
00:23:34,893 --> 00:23:36,933
That's why you were
80 and 0.
521
00:23:36,975 --> 00:23:40,697
This is a moment to take risks.
You are beloved.
522
00:23:40,739 --> 00:23:43,780
That's the one thing you didn't
have last time. Use it.
523
00:23:43,822 --> 00:23:45,342
So you don't lose it.
524
00:23:45,384 --> 00:23:47,023
Okay, I hear you.
525
00:23:47,065 --> 00:23:49,508
But that doesn't mean
I can listen to you.
526
00:23:50,869 --> 00:23:52,871
Not yet.
527
00:23:57,636 --> 00:23:58,995
Let me in on
curb-stomping Winston.
528
00:23:59,037 --> 00:24:00,957
Philip and I will handle it.
529
00:24:00,999 --> 00:24:03,840
My schedule's light, and this
is just my kind of mission.
530
00:24:03,882 --> 00:24:05,884
We got it. Thanks.
531
00:24:19,057 --> 00:24:21,017
What's with you?
532
00:24:21,059 --> 00:24:23,260
-Nothing.
-Nah.
533
00:24:23,302 --> 00:24:25,141
I saw the way you reacted
to what Winston did.
534
00:24:25,183 --> 00:24:28,545
It wasn't anger in those eyes.
It was sadness.
535
00:24:28,587 --> 00:24:30,747
Can't I be both?
536
00:24:30,789 --> 00:24:32,869
You steep that any longer,
you may as well suck the bag.
537
00:24:32,911 --> 00:24:35,832
Plus, you don't drink
herbal tea.
538
00:24:35,874 --> 00:24:37,876
Minor fucking detail.
539
00:24:38,397 --> 00:24:40,076
Though I might as well start.
540
00:24:40,118 --> 00:24:42,799
That's what obsolete
pensioners do, isn't it?
541
00:24:42,841 --> 00:24:47,886
Drink tea, stare into space,
and decompose.
542
00:24:57,976 --> 00:25:01,938
Mother's milk.
543
00:25:01,980 --> 00:25:04,663
Better than a spot of
zen-relax tea?
544
00:25:07,305 --> 00:25:10,467
It was a fucking eulogy, Wend.
545
00:25:10,509 --> 00:25:13,029
Attending my own funeral.
546
00:25:13,071 --> 00:25:16,034
The whole cast of Liar's Poker
dancing on my grave.
547
00:25:17,195 --> 00:25:18,795
It would've been
a lot more fun
548
00:25:18,837 --> 00:25:20,839
if I had gotten to fake
my own death first.
549
00:25:23,241 --> 00:25:25,241
This is when you throw me
some magic
550
00:25:25,283 --> 00:25:27,285
that unlocks everything.
551
00:25:30,208 --> 00:25:32,250
Maybe my magic
isn't what you need.
552
00:25:33,852 --> 00:25:36,533
Maybe you need to see...
someone.
553
00:25:36,575 --> 00:25:39,456
A different kind of
professional.
554
00:25:39,498 --> 00:25:42,138
I've given that up.
For the time being.
555
00:25:44,863 --> 00:25:46,823
So you're just a man
searching for his next act.
556
00:25:46,865 --> 00:25:51,187
I'm not looking for a next act.
I want to go back in time.
557
00:25:51,229 --> 00:25:53,309
You're still
the same person, Wags.
558
00:25:53,351 --> 00:25:55,271
It's the circumstances
around you that have changed.
559
00:25:55,313 --> 00:25:57,193
The kind of theatrical moves
those guys are talking about,
560
00:25:57,235 --> 00:25:58,595
that's in your bones.
561
00:25:58,637 --> 00:26:00,997
You just need to find
an opportunity
562
00:26:01,039 --> 00:26:03,560
that'll activate
that muscle memory.
563
00:26:03,602 --> 00:26:05,722
And don't wait for permission.
564
00:26:05,764 --> 00:26:09,568
Yes, inject that magic
into my veins.
565
00:26:11,049 --> 00:26:14,130
When I was talking about
a "professional" before,
566
00:26:14,172 --> 00:26:16,132
I meant... therapist.
567
00:26:16,174 --> 00:26:18,855
A real... therapist.
568
00:26:18,897 --> 00:26:20,899
Oh, you heard
about Dr. Mayer, then.
569
00:26:22,340 --> 00:26:24,901
Don't... tell me
you're seeing her too.
570
00:26:24,943 --> 00:26:27,984
I assure you, I prefer
those depths unplunged.
571
00:26:28,026 --> 00:26:29,706
Unless by you, of course.
572
00:26:29,748 --> 00:26:31,388
Appreciate that.
573
00:26:31,430 --> 00:26:33,349
So, do you know what
this chick is all about?
574
00:26:33,391 --> 00:26:35,393
Why they're all
so obsessed with her?
575
00:26:36,475 --> 00:26:38,114
The Wendy Rhoades I know
576
00:26:38,156 --> 00:26:41,277
does not speculate
or rely on hearsay.
577
00:26:41,319 --> 00:26:44,521
She dives as deep as
the fucking Mariana Trench
578
00:26:44,563 --> 00:26:48,244
until she finds the truth among
the supergiants at the bottom.
579
00:26:48,286 --> 00:26:51,730
You want to know what this
knock-off Melfi is about...
580
00:26:53,091 --> 00:26:55,093
go find out.
581
00:26:55,574 --> 00:26:58,615
And I think you know
there is nothing anyone
582
00:26:58,657 --> 00:27:00,977
could Freudian slip
into my drink
583
00:27:01,019 --> 00:27:04,060
that'll change
the fact that you...
584
00:27:04,102 --> 00:27:06,983
will always be my Dr. Mojo.
585
00:27:17,075 --> 00:27:19,077
Sir?
586
00:27:20,559 --> 00:27:22,559
Ms. Torre, once
I pass on a case,
587
00:27:22,601 --> 00:27:24,080
I don't reconsider it
588
00:27:24,122 --> 00:27:25,842
unless there's been some
material change.
589
00:27:25,884 --> 00:27:27,203
So, if that's not what
you're here to tell me...
590
00:27:27,245 --> 00:27:28,685
This isn't my case.
591
00:27:28,727 --> 00:27:30,086
This is Michael Prince's
Super PAC filing.
592
00:27:30,128 --> 00:27:31,488
Deputy Schirmer gave it to me,
593
00:27:31,530 --> 00:27:33,970
said you wanted me
to take a look.
594
00:27:36,655 --> 00:27:39,736
Yeah, good, great.
And, uh, what did you learn?
595
00:27:39,778 --> 00:27:42,058
Potential violation
of 52 USC 30121.
596
00:27:42,100 --> 00:27:43,660
The foreign donor ban.
597
00:27:43,702 --> 00:27:45,061
He wouldn't do something
that obvious.
598
00:27:45,103 --> 00:27:46,783
Mm, not sure and not obvious.
599
00:27:46,825 --> 00:27:49,265
There was an LLC that donated
called North Country.
600
00:27:49,307 --> 00:27:50,947
The name caught my eye,
so I ran the CEO.
601
00:27:50,989 --> 00:27:52,549
He appears to be
a Canadian citizen.
602
00:27:54,232 --> 00:27:56,432
You interested
in preparing charges?
603
00:27:56,474 --> 00:27:58,837
Leave what you have,
I'll-I'll give it a look.
604
00:28:00,999 --> 00:28:04,280
For the record, the case
I pitched is a stone winner.
605
00:28:16,174 --> 00:28:19,055
Been saving this one
for a special occasion--
606
00:28:19,097 --> 00:28:20,376
Ahh!
607
00:28:20,418 --> 00:28:23,261
Your return to the seat
of power.
608
00:28:24,382 --> 00:28:26,262
Applejack?
609
00:28:26,304 --> 00:28:28,825
You stopped at the joint
in the corner on your way up.
610
00:28:28,867 --> 00:28:30,787
It's what they had.
611
00:28:30,829 --> 00:28:32,831
And the thought that counts.
612
00:28:33,712 --> 00:28:35,714
You want to drink it or not?
613
00:28:38,116 --> 00:28:41,037
What a sight you are, Charles.
614
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:47,125
The man back
in his natural habitat.
615
00:28:48,446 --> 00:28:50,729
Burning the midnight oil.
616
00:28:52,490 --> 00:28:56,134
Please regale me
with your first move.
617
00:28:57,856 --> 00:29:00,697
Nothing I'm ready to share,
I'm afraid.
618
00:29:00,739 --> 00:29:02,779
Don't be modest, sonny.
619
00:29:02,821 --> 00:29:06,182
You're sitting on something
bold and undeniable, I'm sure.
620
00:29:06,224 --> 00:29:08,226
Mm.
621
00:29:09,347 --> 00:29:11,067
What did Ira tell you?
622
00:29:11,109 --> 00:29:13,149
Ah, just that
you're limp as a noodle.
623
00:29:13,191 --> 00:29:16,072
Well, he said gun-shy,
but I'm translating.
624
00:29:16,114 --> 00:29:18,236
Oh, that's helpful. Thank you.
625
00:29:19,678 --> 00:29:21,517
-Whoa.
-Ohh.
626
00:29:21,559 --> 00:29:23,642
Did you know...
627
00:29:25,123 --> 00:29:28,484
that I stayed faithful
to your mother...
628
00:29:28,526 --> 00:29:31,127
for five months
after Kevin was born?
629
00:29:31,169 --> 00:29:33,369
Would you like
an award for that?
630
00:29:33,411 --> 00:29:34,931
No...
631
00:29:34,973 --> 00:29:37,333
I'm trying to tell you
I can relate.
632
00:29:37,375 --> 00:29:39,936
When I became a grandfather,
633
00:29:39,978 --> 00:29:42,899
I vowed to become
an upright man,
634
00:29:42,941 --> 00:29:45,023
an example for my grandson.
635
00:29:46,625 --> 00:29:50,386
God, those months
felt like years.
636
00:29:50,428 --> 00:29:54,871
I'd lay awake in bed next to her
every night, restless.
637
00:29:54,913 --> 00:29:57,634
Nothing spoils the spirit
like rote sexual congress.
638
00:29:57,676 --> 00:29:59,235
Dad!
639
00:29:59,277 --> 00:30:00,797
I knew I'd die
if I kept on like that,
640
00:30:00,839 --> 00:30:02,558
yet I wasn't ready for divorce.
641
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:07,045
But when it came to the idea
of a new assignation...
642
00:30:08,647 --> 00:30:12,408
the adrenaline rush
643
00:30:12,450 --> 00:30:14,651
was-was almost sickening.
644
00:30:14,693 --> 00:30:17,413
It was like an Acapulco diver
on top of a cliff,
645
00:30:17,455 --> 00:30:22,619
trying to... to time the waves
so that I didn't go splat.
646
00:30:22,661 --> 00:30:25,864
I was utterly frozen.
647
00:30:27,545 --> 00:30:29,547
Until...
648
00:30:30,268 --> 00:30:34,590
I attended the opening
of Bedminster Golf Club.
649
00:30:36,114 --> 00:30:37,914
Did you ever
meet his first wife?
650
00:30:37,956 --> 00:30:40,797
Oh, Jesus, Dad, you didn't.
651
00:30:40,839 --> 00:30:46,322
That woman was an athlete.
652
00:30:46,364 --> 00:30:49,285
We made the beast right on
the green of the second hole.
653
00:30:49,327 --> 00:30:51,447
Which is all very ironic,
654
00:30:51,489 --> 00:30:54,250
considering where she now lies
once again, rest in peace.
655
00:30:54,292 --> 00:30:59,175
Okay, your story hardly
accounts for the risks I face
656
00:30:59,217 --> 00:31:02,618
as delightful as it is to hear
you are groin cousins
657
00:31:02,660 --> 00:31:05,782
-with the former Miss--
-The point is, sonny,
658
00:31:05,824 --> 00:31:09,307
you gotta make the leap.
659
00:31:10,628 --> 00:31:14,512
Because the rewards
are inestimable.
660
00:31:30,969 --> 00:31:33,369
Sacker.
661
00:31:33,411 --> 00:31:35,852
Kate. It's time
to go see Rhoades.
662
00:31:35,894 --> 00:31:38,414
Try and prompt a reaction.
Get him following the scent.
663
00:31:38,456 --> 00:31:41,017
- Should I bring the whole team?
-Sure. Good idea.
664
00:31:41,059 --> 00:31:43,459
Bring whomever you think
will help get the job done.
665
00:31:43,501 --> 00:31:45,503
You got it.
666
00:31:59,237 --> 00:32:02,238
No need to hurry.
No need to sparkle.
667
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,762
No need to be anybody
but oneself.
668
00:32:05,804 --> 00:32:08,164
It's good to see you,
Dr. Rhoades.
669
00:32:08,206 --> 00:32:10,646
Make it Wendy.
670
00:32:10,688 --> 00:32:12,971
Shall we do it here, or do you
have A Room of One's Own?
671
00:32:16,214 --> 00:32:18,454
I've been expecting you.
672
00:32:18,496 --> 00:32:21,097
I'm sure you have.
673
00:32:21,139 --> 00:32:24,542
You rustle someone's cattle,
they're gonna come looking.
674
00:32:26,144 --> 00:32:28,104
Was it the welcoming
literary patter
675
00:32:28,146 --> 00:32:30,346
that helped you
snare my patients?
676
00:32:30,388 --> 00:32:34,670
I didn't see your brand on them.
At first.
677
00:32:34,712 --> 00:32:39,235
After talking to them,
the burns became more visible.
678
00:32:39,277 --> 00:32:42,320
Uh-huh. You know...
679
00:32:47,005 --> 00:32:51,808
I didn't...
come here to do this.
680
00:32:51,850 --> 00:32:53,970
You've helped my people
quite a lot.
681
00:32:54,012 --> 00:32:55,251
I wanted to thank you,
682
00:32:55,293 --> 00:32:58,734
and to see if we could find...
683
00:32:58,776 --> 00:33:01,978
a way to work in concert.
A harmony between our styles.
684
00:33:02,020 --> 00:33:06,823
Surely you don't think we do
the same thing, Wendy.
685
00:33:06,865 --> 00:33:09,665
We take different approaches,
but we're both psychiatrists.
686
00:33:09,707 --> 00:33:12,628
Humour me, please.
687
00:33:12,670 --> 00:33:15,713
How do you know
you're good at what you do?
688
00:33:17,315 --> 00:33:19,555
I could say close
to 25 billion earned
689
00:33:19,597 --> 00:33:21,117
and managed by my clients,
690
00:33:21,159 --> 00:33:23,439
but I won't step into that trap.
691
00:33:23,481 --> 00:33:26,963
My goals are aligned
with those of my patients.
692
00:33:27,005 --> 00:33:29,565
They want--
they need-- to earn,
693
00:33:29,607 --> 00:33:32,648
need to fight, need to win.
694
00:33:32,690 --> 00:33:35,691
The money's just a symbol of
what we're working towards.
695
00:33:35,733 --> 00:33:38,294
All of our shared patients,
696
00:33:38,336 --> 00:33:40,216
they're all addicts.
697
00:33:40,258 --> 00:33:42,939
What they need...
698
00:33:42,981 --> 00:33:46,702
it's wrapped up
in a very complicated bundle
699
00:33:46,744 --> 00:33:50,827
of compulsive behaviour
and purpose.
700
00:33:50,869 --> 00:33:53,309
Your talent and insight,
701
00:33:53,351 --> 00:33:58,474
you use it to disguise it
all as purpose,
702
00:33:58,516 --> 00:34:01,357
to keep them
on a hamster wheel.
703
00:34:01,399 --> 00:34:05,281
Well, certainly,
the wheel may get bigger,
704
00:34:05,323 --> 00:34:07,485
but it's still...
705
00:34:08,967 --> 00:34:11,007
essentially a prison.
706
00:34:11,049 --> 00:34:12,768
So I'm their jailer?
707
00:34:12,810 --> 00:34:16,812
I don't think any of them
would agree with that.
708
00:34:16,854 --> 00:34:21,657
Fair.
But I can't help but think...
709
00:34:21,699 --> 00:34:25,341
What if you used
all your ability
710
00:34:25,383 --> 00:34:27,743
to free them instead?
711
00:34:27,785 --> 00:34:32,750
It is no secret that
you are extraordinary, Wendy.
712
00:34:34,512 --> 00:34:37,713
But I think you could be
even better.
713
00:34:37,755 --> 00:34:39,916
I would like to
help you with that.
714
00:34:39,958 --> 00:34:43,159
Thank you.
But I'm not in the market
715
00:34:43,201 --> 00:34:44,840
for a performance coach.
716
00:34:44,882 --> 00:34:46,884
I was suggesting therapy.
717
00:34:48,006 --> 00:34:51,689
Isn't that why
you're here, really?
718
00:35:06,744 --> 00:35:08,584
-Miss me already, huh?
-Not quite.
719
00:35:08,626 --> 00:35:11,187
Please, take off your shoes.
Or stay on the marble.
720
00:35:11,229 --> 00:35:12,628
Jesus, these carpets
are harder to clean
721
00:35:12,670 --> 00:35:14,310
than a frat basement couch.
722
00:35:14,352 --> 00:35:16,792
Bill us. We know about
WDE Risk Management.
723
00:35:16,834 --> 00:35:18,714
People are already
talking about it, huh?
724
00:35:18,756 --> 00:35:20,396
-It's gonna be huge.
-Not only did you
725
00:35:20,438 --> 00:35:22,198
create the software
while at MPC,
726
00:35:22,240 --> 00:35:24,240
meaning you're hawking property
stolen from Mike Prince,
727
00:35:24,282 --> 00:35:25,962
but you trained it on data
from our traders.
728
00:35:26,004 --> 00:35:27,403
You don't want this
to get messy with a lawsuit.
729
00:35:27,445 --> 00:35:28,804
Surrender the code,
we can work out
730
00:35:28,846 --> 00:35:30,206
a suitable position
for you at MPC.
731
00:35:30,248 --> 00:35:32,008
Head of Risk Management, maybe?
732
00:35:32,050 --> 00:35:34,610
I'm done working
for other people, thanks.
733
00:35:34,652 --> 00:35:36,532
And I coded WDE after I left.
734
00:35:36,574 --> 00:35:38,935
In the eight hours before
you started trying to sell it?
735
00:35:38,977 --> 00:35:40,536
Kids work quick these days,
you know that.
736
00:35:40,578 --> 00:35:41,978
That isn't going
to hold up in court.
737
00:35:42,020 --> 00:35:43,699
Please. I used
an air-gapped computer,
738
00:35:43,741 --> 00:35:45,501
so the code trail
supports my timeline.
739
00:35:45,543 --> 00:35:47,063
I mean, I would've,
if I'd done it
740
00:35:47,105 --> 00:35:48,945
while I was still at MPC.
741
00:35:48,987 --> 00:35:51,227
But look, I'm a generous dude,
and we're friends.
742
00:35:51,269 --> 00:35:54,550
So I'll license it to you for
only, like, $500,000 per month.
743
00:35:54,592 --> 00:35:57,393
Plus two percent of profits.
744
00:35:57,435 --> 00:35:59,235
Oh, come on, shoes!
Who's been putting out
745
00:35:59,277 --> 00:36:00,436
their Kools on my floor?!
746
00:36:00,478 --> 00:36:02,038
I told you we've got this, Wags.
747
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:03,599
I'm not asking permission.
Taylor, Philip,
748
00:36:03,641 --> 00:36:05,001
back away
from the defendant.
749
00:36:05,043 --> 00:36:06,442
Prince is moving
forward with the lawsuit.
750
00:36:06,484 --> 00:36:08,244
This negotiation is
as useless as
751
00:36:08,286 --> 00:36:10,246
a 20-year-old
lambskin rubber.
752
00:36:10,288 --> 00:36:11,647
Like from a real lamb?
753
00:36:11,689 --> 00:36:13,529
Get off me--
754
00:36:13,571 --> 00:36:16,852
Do you think anyone on the
Street is gonna license software
755
00:36:16,894 --> 00:36:18,854
under the absolute
mountain of legal caca
756
00:36:18,896 --> 00:36:20,456
we're throwing your way?
757
00:36:20,498 --> 00:36:22,498
Your product, along
with your bank accounts,
758
00:36:22,540 --> 00:36:26,304
are gonna be frozen like
Ted Williams's fuckin' head!
759
00:36:34,352 --> 00:36:36,112
I can't believe
Prince called you in.
760
00:36:36,154 --> 00:36:37,953
-He promised us some time.
-He didn't call me in.
761
00:36:37,995 --> 00:36:39,155
The lawsuit
hasn't been filed yet.
762
00:36:39,197 --> 00:36:40,516
A bluff. What's the play?
763
00:36:40,558 --> 00:36:42,038
You can't eradicate cockroaches
764
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,162
without scaring them
out of hiding.
765
00:36:52,410 --> 00:36:54,330
Yeah, hi.
I need to talk to your COO.
766
00:36:54,372 --> 00:36:56,172
I met with him yesterday.
We need to fast track
767
00:36:56,214 --> 00:36:57,573
the software
licensing agreements,
768
00:36:57,615 --> 00:36:59,617
or the offer's going away.
769
00:37:01,499 --> 00:37:03,299
Do you think
anyone on the Street
770
00:37:03,341 --> 00:37:04,860
is gonna license software
771
00:37:04,902 --> 00:37:06,742
under the absolute
mountain of legal caca
772
00:37:06,784 --> 00:37:08,344
we're throwing your way?
773
00:37:08,386 --> 00:37:10,466
Your product, along
with your bank accounts,
774
00:37:10,508 --> 00:37:14,152
are gonna be frozen like
Ted Williams's fuckin' head!
775
00:37:18,516 --> 00:37:20,516
They had us wait in here
instead of in Chuck's office
776
00:37:20,558 --> 00:37:21,957
so that they could
end the conversation
777
00:37:21,999 --> 00:37:23,039
by walking out
whenever they want,
778
00:37:23,081 --> 00:37:24,720
treating us like targets.
779
00:37:24,762 --> 00:37:27,243
It's amazing the lessons
you choose to remember.
780
00:37:27,285 --> 00:37:29,645
Oh, I remember all of them.
Deploy the most effective
781
00:37:29,687 --> 00:37:31,006
and let the rest dangle.
782
00:37:31,048 --> 00:37:32,688
Which are you deploying today?
783
00:37:32,730 --> 00:37:36,092
We're here because
we have the same goal:
784
00:37:36,134 --> 00:37:38,214
for my candidate to be
operating squeaky clean,
785
00:37:38,256 --> 00:37:40,696
behind glass so clear,
it kills birds.
786
00:37:40,738 --> 00:37:42,818
The PAC is just
that transparent.
787
00:37:42,860 --> 00:37:45,341
We assume you've already
reviewed our FEC disclosure.
788
00:37:45,383 --> 00:37:46,942
We're here to answer
any questions.
789
00:37:46,984 --> 00:37:48,624
I guess it's
the "show up voluntarily
790
00:37:48,666 --> 00:37:50,706
to appear innocent" lesson,
but our policy
791
00:37:50,748 --> 00:37:53,229
is to ask questions
on our schedule, not yours.
792
00:37:53,271 --> 00:37:55,831
Eh, no, I do have one, actually.
For all of them.
793
00:37:55,873 --> 00:37:57,753
One I've asked Scooter before:
794
00:37:57,795 --> 00:38:01,077
What's the going price for
one's soul these days? Hmm?
795
00:38:01,119 --> 00:38:03,079
Well, a lesson from
my side of the street
796
00:38:03,121 --> 00:38:04,880
is never answer
a hypothetical.
797
00:38:04,922 --> 00:38:06,802
So, since I'm the guy
with no history here,
798
00:38:06,844 --> 00:38:09,845
might I suggest we turn this
slightly professional.
799
00:38:09,887 --> 00:38:11,727
Mr. Rhoades,
we sent over the documents
800
00:38:11,769 --> 00:38:13,729
so you'd have
an opportunity to vet them.
801
00:38:13,771 --> 00:38:15,731
That seemed the best way
for all parties to ensure
802
00:38:15,773 --> 00:38:18,934
that an often dirty process
is as pure as Crater Lake.
803
00:38:20,698 --> 00:38:22,418
Yes, well, the lake is pure
because it isn't
804
00:38:22,460 --> 00:38:24,019
fed by any rivers and streams,
805
00:38:24,061 --> 00:38:25,981
so there's no opportunity
for pollution--
806
00:38:26,023 --> 00:38:28,184
the opposite of
a fucking Super PAC,
807
00:38:28,226 --> 00:38:29,745
which tries to onboard as many
808
00:38:29,787 --> 00:38:31,789
dirty streams of cash
as possible.
809
00:38:38,316 --> 00:38:40,676
But...
810
00:38:40,718 --> 00:38:43,319
I won't know the specifics
until I take a look.
811
00:38:43,361 --> 00:38:45,921
And the fact is, I haven't
even had a chance yet.
812
00:38:45,963 --> 00:38:49,685
-Really.
-Really.
813
00:38:49,727 --> 00:38:51,807
It's what the man said.
It's what the man meant.
814
00:38:51,849 --> 00:38:54,170
And when I do,
if I have questions,
815
00:38:54,212 --> 00:38:56,172
you will be hearing from me.
816
00:39:11,229 --> 00:39:13,028
That was an opportunity.
817
00:39:13,070 --> 00:39:15,072
This is.
818
00:39:15,993 --> 00:39:17,913
You know what
Amanda found in that filing.
819
00:39:17,955 --> 00:39:20,516
-Let's hit 'em.
-This is not our shot at Prince.
820
00:39:20,558 --> 00:39:22,758
What are you doing?
821
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,241
I'm being smart.
Restrained. Tactical.
822
00:39:25,283 --> 00:39:27,563
Bullshit, buddy.
This is fear.
823
00:39:27,605 --> 00:39:30,206
Oh, come on.
You saw them, baiting me.
824
00:39:30,248 --> 00:39:32,248
They want me to find something,
825
00:39:32,290 --> 00:39:34,570
for some reason not yet obvious.
826
00:39:34,612 --> 00:39:37,533
But what is clear is that
all this would end, at minimum,
827
00:39:37,575 --> 00:39:39,054
with egg on my face.
828
00:39:39,096 --> 00:39:41,697
My dignity--
that, I will not lose.
829
00:39:41,739 --> 00:39:44,620
Your dignity? Chuck,
this isn't just about you.
830
00:39:44,662 --> 00:39:46,382
I'm sorry
I pulled you away
831
00:39:46,424 --> 00:39:47,663
from the high-dollar chase.
832
00:39:47,705 --> 00:39:48,904
You already miss it that much
833
00:39:48,946 --> 00:39:50,948
you're ready to go back?
834
00:39:51,669 --> 00:39:54,029
No. And it's not just about me.
835
00:39:54,071 --> 00:39:55,431
There's an office
full of people out there
836
00:39:55,473 --> 00:39:57,152
putting forth
their best efforts.
837
00:39:57,194 --> 00:39:59,595
So that's on the line.
And their careers, too.
838
00:39:59,637 --> 00:40:02,598
When they woke up to the news
that you were going to return,
839
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:04,159
they all told themselves
840
00:40:04,201 --> 00:40:05,761
they were finally
gonna be able to do something.
841
00:40:05,803 --> 00:40:07,082
They'd finally live up to
the essays
842
00:40:07,124 --> 00:40:09,004
they wrote
to get into law school
843
00:40:09,046 --> 00:40:11,208
because they'd finally
be working for a great man.
844
00:40:12,890 --> 00:40:16,091
And I know this to be true.
845
00:40:16,133 --> 00:40:18,256
Okay, so the only one
who needs to remember is you.
846
00:40:31,589 --> 00:40:32,948
Hey.
847
00:40:32,990 --> 00:40:35,591
If someone lusts
after you every day,
848
00:40:35,633 --> 00:40:37,753
they probably
also make moves.
849
00:40:37,795 --> 00:40:39,955
Maybe moves they shouldn't,
850
00:40:39,997 --> 00:40:43,359
to impress, ingratiate, seduce?
851
00:40:43,401 --> 00:40:45,641
Hopefully... illegal ones.
852
00:40:45,683 --> 00:40:47,763
So, what were they?
853
00:40:47,805 --> 00:40:49,605
I don't want Winston's
854
00:40:49,647 --> 00:40:51,567
metaphorical death
on my conscience.
855
00:40:51,609 --> 00:40:52,768
He was like
my annoying little brother.
856
00:40:52,810 --> 00:40:54,450
I'm not gonna be a part of this.
857
00:40:54,492 --> 00:40:56,532
Do you understand that
getting that software back
858
00:40:56,574 --> 00:40:59,134
is the single most important
thing to MPC right now?
859
00:40:59,176 --> 00:41:02,340
It's either him or us.
860
00:41:03,981 --> 00:41:05,821
Okay.
861
00:41:05,863 --> 00:41:07,943
He bragged about
some hacktivist stuff,
862
00:41:07,985 --> 00:41:10,866
but I honestly didn't listen
when he talked most of the time.
863
00:41:10,908 --> 00:41:12,988
He was probably just
making shit up to impress me.
864
00:41:13,030 --> 00:41:15,032
Hm.
865
00:41:16,233 --> 00:41:18,396
-But...
-But what?
866
00:41:20,037 --> 00:41:23,479
Okay, I didn't ask him to do it.
867
00:41:23,521 --> 00:41:26,562
But last May,
Winston hacked the DMV
868
00:41:26,604 --> 00:41:29,204
to remove points from my license
when I was about to lose it.
869
00:41:29,246 --> 00:41:32,047
How many points did you have?
870
00:41:32,089 --> 00:41:34,410
I like to go fast.
871
00:41:34,452 --> 00:41:37,453
That's my girl.
872
00:41:37,495 --> 00:41:41,337
I gonna need the date and time
of that hack for my guy.
873
00:41:46,544 --> 00:41:49,104
I sent some of our gang in
to talk to Chuck.
874
00:41:49,146 --> 00:41:50,866
The theory being?
875
00:41:50,908 --> 00:41:53,429
That he's coming for me.
I want to know from where.
876
00:41:53,471 --> 00:41:55,871
-And now you do?
-I do not.
877
00:41:55,913 --> 00:41:58,314
They said he seemed
different, muted.
878
00:41:58,356 --> 00:42:01,036
Disinterested even.
879
00:42:01,078 --> 00:42:03,639
Their instinct is
he's not coming.
880
00:42:03,681 --> 00:42:06,281
Was that just a posture?
I'm not sure.
881
00:42:06,323 --> 00:42:10,406
Could be he has other things
to focus on in his new job.
882
00:42:10,448 --> 00:42:12,450
He wouldn't be alone in that.
883
00:42:13,691 --> 00:42:16,652
You'd rather talk about
why I have a need to know,
884
00:42:16,694 --> 00:42:18,414
why I'm engaged in that
885
00:42:18,456 --> 00:42:20,776
instead of keeping my eyes
forward on my own business.
886
00:42:20,818 --> 00:42:23,058
I don't want to get into
anything you don't want to.
887
00:42:23,100 --> 00:42:24,940
And if I asked you to go in?
888
00:42:24,982 --> 00:42:27,102
To talk to Chuck,
889
00:42:27,144 --> 00:42:29,585
have a look for yourself,
890
00:42:29,627 --> 00:42:32,027
see what's going on
and give me some guidance?
891
00:42:32,069 --> 00:42:34,470
I'd say no way, bad idea.
892
00:42:34,512 --> 00:42:36,311
Any more contact,
and he's going to start
893
00:42:36,353 --> 00:42:38,113
believing there's
something there.
894
00:42:38,155 --> 00:42:40,075
You don't want to convert
your search for intel
895
00:42:40,117 --> 00:42:42,119
into motivation for him, do you?
896
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:45,042
I do not.
897
00:42:45,643 --> 00:42:47,645
Good call.
898
00:43:01,258 --> 00:43:03,260
Hm.
899
00:43:05,543 --> 00:43:07,545
Here.
900
00:43:14,472 --> 00:43:15,911
I figured
the one you had was old.
901
00:43:15,953 --> 00:43:17,192
You should have a current one.
902
00:43:17,234 --> 00:43:18,834
Yeah, well, the one I have,
903
00:43:18,876 --> 00:43:20,878
they're much younger.
You're in it.
904
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:24,480
Thank you.
905
00:43:24,522 --> 00:43:26,962
I heard some people from
the firm paid a visit today.
906
00:43:27,004 --> 00:43:29,405
And yet, I didn't
like what I learned.
907
00:43:29,447 --> 00:43:32,688
Anytime I hear Chuck Rhoades
is muted instead of pugnacious,
908
00:43:32,730 --> 00:43:34,129
it's cause for worry.
909
00:43:34,171 --> 00:43:37,212
You don't worry, you dig.
910
00:43:37,254 --> 00:43:38,694
Wh-what are you digging for now?
911
00:43:38,736 --> 00:43:40,335
Nothing.
912
00:43:40,377 --> 00:43:42,377
I just don't like
the cooled-off version of you.
913
00:43:42,419 --> 00:43:44,940
Pot, kettle, Wend.
You've been frozen so long,
914
00:43:44,982 --> 00:43:47,903
the very temperature of the room
drops when you walk in.
915
00:43:47,945 --> 00:43:49,264
Did Prince send you?
916
00:43:49,306 --> 00:43:51,909
He's not sweating
his disclosure.
917
00:43:53,390 --> 00:43:54,990
Besides, if he had,
would I have come?
918
00:43:55,032 --> 00:43:56,512
Am I some errand girl?
919
00:43:56,554 --> 00:43:59,194
No, I suppose not.
920
00:43:59,236 --> 00:44:03,158
Though I don't know
what you are.
921
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:06,081
I just hope whatever
you're doing here
922
00:44:06,123 --> 00:44:08,083
works out okay
for them this time.
923
00:44:12,690 --> 00:44:15,330
You got to the kid.
924
00:44:15,372 --> 00:44:18,373
He called them all,
so we've got the list.
925
00:44:18,415 --> 00:44:21,817
Two firms that he approached
yesterday, three today.
926
00:44:21,859 --> 00:44:24,259
Deals are being drawn up.
927
00:44:24,301 --> 00:44:28,063
He set a follow-up presentation
at his co-working space
928
00:44:28,105 --> 00:44:30,265
with all five CEOs tomorrow.
929
00:44:30,307 --> 00:44:32,588
Plan is to
ink the contracts there
930
00:44:32,630 --> 00:44:34,792
before any lawsuits land on him.
931
00:44:36,353 --> 00:44:39,957
Bravissimo, Hall.
And the coding signature?
932
00:44:41,278 --> 00:44:43,761
Hell of a laundry list,
you were right.
933
00:44:45,242 --> 00:44:47,483
That's the one.
934
00:44:47,525 --> 00:44:49,645
You want to bury him like that?
935
00:44:49,687 --> 00:44:52,728
Damn right.
936
00:44:52,770 --> 00:44:54,772
This is the fucking shovel.
937
00:44:55,653 --> 00:44:57,655
Now let's put on a show.
938
00:45:05,222 --> 00:45:07,182
I don't regret keeping
them on the hamster wheel.
939
00:45:07,224 --> 00:45:08,864
That's my job,
940
00:45:08,906 --> 00:45:11,066
to keep personnel in place,
happy enough to deliver.
941
00:45:11,108 --> 00:45:14,391
But I didn't choose
that wheel for myself.
942
00:45:15,833 --> 00:45:17,835
And yet...
943
00:45:18,315 --> 00:45:20,475
you want to know...
944
00:45:20,517 --> 00:45:23,959
why you can't leave.
945
00:45:24,001 --> 00:45:28,524
I want to know why I sometimes
feel like an errand girl.
946
00:45:28,566 --> 00:45:30,568
I know I'm not, but...
947
00:45:32,009 --> 00:45:33,529
Also, I kind of am.
948
00:45:33,571 --> 00:45:35,573
I keep doing
other people's bidding.
949
00:45:36,734 --> 00:45:38,694
You know, I can leave.
950
00:45:38,736 --> 00:45:41,416
-It's just that I don't.
-Mm-hmm.
951
00:45:41,458 --> 00:45:45,420
There's nothing stopping me,
contractual or financial.
952
00:45:45,462 --> 00:45:47,462
I tell myself it's
the fate of those very people
953
00:45:47,504 --> 00:45:49,144
that I'm keeping on the wheel,
954
00:45:49,186 --> 00:45:50,826
and the fate of
a great many people beyond,
955
00:45:50,868 --> 00:45:53,108
as well, that won't let me go.
956
00:45:53,150 --> 00:45:55,070
So...
957
00:45:55,112 --> 00:45:57,953
you're either an errand girl
958
00:45:57,995 --> 00:46:02,037
or Christ-like in your desire
to serve the wastrels.
959
00:46:02,079 --> 00:46:04,359
Feeling their pain.
Making it your own.
960
00:46:04,401 --> 00:46:05,761
You salve them.
961
00:46:05,803 --> 00:46:08,604
And ready them, again,
962
00:46:08,646 --> 00:46:11,088
to put their souls in peril.
963
00:46:12,770 --> 00:46:14,772
I... I don't know.
964
00:46:16,573 --> 00:46:18,734
I just know you were right.
965
00:46:18,776 --> 00:46:21,697
I can be more than this.
966
00:46:21,739 --> 00:46:23,741
I have to be.
967
00:46:25,342 --> 00:46:27,783
And I want to start that work.
968
00:46:27,825 --> 00:46:29,827
That's wonderful.
969
00:46:30,387 --> 00:46:32,187
I'll get you some referrals.
970
00:46:32,229 --> 00:46:35,711
No, no. You break it,
you buy it, Eleanor.
971
00:46:35,753 --> 00:46:38,994
- That's what you think?
- That I broke you?
972
00:46:39,036 --> 00:46:41,276
No. I'm not gonna
give you that much credit. Yet.
973
00:46:41,318 --> 00:46:43,999
But you did show me that
whatever it was I'm clinging to
974
00:46:44,041 --> 00:46:46,804
to stay above water
is drowning me instead.
975
00:46:48,686 --> 00:46:50,525
That's why it has to be you.
976
00:46:50,567 --> 00:46:53,969
Having started
at odds like this,
977
00:46:54,011 --> 00:46:56,013
it isn't ideal.
978
00:47:00,658 --> 00:47:03,500
Neither is the human condition,
yet we continue to lump it.
979
00:47:35,092 --> 00:47:37,973
I've already had a night, Karl.
980
00:47:38,015 --> 00:47:39,695
What's so important
I had to haul it
981
00:47:39,737 --> 00:47:41,739
all the way up to 122nd?
982
00:47:45,222 --> 00:47:47,943
Ah!
983
00:47:47,985 --> 00:47:50,345
So this is
an intervention, then.
984
00:47:50,387 --> 00:47:53,909
That's why you brought me
to the final resting place
985
00:47:53,951 --> 00:47:56,151
of Ulysses S. Grant.
986
00:47:56,193 --> 00:47:59,554
To remind me that
the venerated Union general
987
00:47:59,596 --> 00:48:02,437
stood tall
after the loss at Shiloh.
988
00:48:02,479 --> 00:48:04,481
Right?
989
00:48:05,082 --> 00:48:06,641
And what did
Lincoln say to those
990
00:48:06,683 --> 00:48:08,283
calling for his removal?
991
00:48:08,325 --> 00:48:12,730
"I can't spare this man;
he fights."
992
00:48:14,531 --> 00:48:16,932
Yeah, where would we be
if Grant hadn't gone on
993
00:48:16,974 --> 00:48:19,536
to fight at Chattanooga
and Vicksburg?
994
00:48:21,899 --> 00:48:24,301
You hoped this would
awaken my fight.
995
00:48:25,382 --> 00:48:27,062
But fighting is not my problem.
996
00:48:27,104 --> 00:48:31,268
I am ready to fight.
I am not ready to lose.
997
00:48:33,590 --> 00:48:35,350
Not again.
998
00:48:35,392 --> 00:48:37,152
You're a great man.
999
00:48:37,194 --> 00:48:39,114
But that isn't why
we've asked you to meet.
1000
00:48:39,156 --> 00:48:41,236
The reason's inside.
1001
00:49:00,257 --> 00:49:02,257
Well, that's
one hell of a twist.
1002
00:49:10,828 --> 00:49:12,307
Hey there, Chuck.
1003
00:49:12,349 --> 00:49:13,628
Well...
1004
00:49:15,552 --> 00:49:17,112
It's nice to meet you, sir.
1005
00:49:17,154 --> 00:49:18,513
Uh...
1006
00:49:18,555 --> 00:49:20,876
I've long held you
in admiration.
1007
00:49:20,918 --> 00:49:23,158
I hear you've got
a case of the yips, my man.
1008
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:24,559
The yips.
1009
00:49:24,601 --> 00:49:27,722
Yeah, I wish it was the yips.
1010
00:49:27,764 --> 00:49:32,647
It's elemental. My next move
needs to be perfect.
1011
00:49:32,689 --> 00:49:34,689
I need a win.
1012
00:49:34,731 --> 00:49:36,251
I'm familiar with that pressure.
1013
00:49:36,293 --> 00:49:37,933
Well, you mastered it.
1014
00:49:37,975 --> 00:49:40,215
You learned to use
the pressure to serve you.
1015
00:49:40,257 --> 00:49:42,457
Your record's beyond compare.
1016
00:49:42,499 --> 00:49:44,019
Well, you know,
Coach Wooden said that
1017
00:49:44,061 --> 00:49:45,740
as long as you do
your personal best,
1018
00:49:45,782 --> 00:49:48,343
-you've won.
-And that worked for you?
1019
00:49:48,385 --> 00:49:49,704
For a while.
1020
00:49:49,746 --> 00:49:51,666
And then we made
a trip down to Houston
1021
00:49:51,708 --> 00:49:54,229
- to visit Mr. Hayes.
- That's understood.
1022
00:49:54,271 --> 00:49:56,111
And it destroyed your
perfect season.
1023
00:49:56,153 --> 00:49:58,233
-Must've been devastating.
-Yeah, I was rocked.
1024
00:49:58,275 --> 00:49:59,314
Yeah.
1025
00:49:59,356 --> 00:50:01,236
But that loss made me.
1026
00:50:01,278 --> 00:50:03,398
-Mm-hmm.
-It helped...
1027
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:05,640
make me into the player
that I wanted to be.
1028
00:50:05,682 --> 00:50:07,442
-Yeah.
-And of course,
1029
00:50:07,484 --> 00:50:09,524
when the tournament came around,
1030
00:50:09,566 --> 00:50:11,686
it really made it sweet
to kick their asses.
1031
00:50:11,728 --> 00:50:14,329
Yeah, but...
1032
00:50:14,371 --> 00:50:15,851
the fear getting there.
1033
00:50:15,893 --> 00:50:17,895
I mean, how do you
keep that at bay?
1034
00:50:19,416 --> 00:50:24,019
I grew up in 1960s America
looking like this.
1035
00:50:24,061 --> 00:50:25,740
People wanted to kill me.
1036
00:50:25,782 --> 00:50:28,623
I've battled leukaemia,
open heart surgery,
1037
00:50:28,665 --> 00:50:31,588
cancer, fire, and racism.
1038
00:50:33,470 --> 00:50:36,151
You think I'd ever be afraid
of missing a damn skyhook
1039
00:50:36,193 --> 00:50:37,312
after all of that?
1040
00:50:37,354 --> 00:50:39,835
I do not imagine you would. No.
1041
00:50:39,877 --> 00:50:41,396
Yeah. Right.
1042
00:50:41,438 --> 00:50:43,440
Chuck...
1043
00:50:43,961 --> 00:50:45,961
people like us keep after it
1044
00:50:46,003 --> 00:50:47,682
because we know
1045
00:50:47,724 --> 00:50:50,087
it's a crime
to waste what we have.
1046
00:50:51,448 --> 00:50:53,728
If we don't take the shot...
1047
00:50:53,770 --> 00:50:56,053
who the hell else will?
1048
00:51:11,028 --> 00:51:14,071
This is why you need...
1049
00:51:19,476 --> 00:51:21,836
WDE.
1050
00:51:25,282 --> 00:51:27,242
Wait. What are you doing here?
1051
00:51:27,284 --> 00:51:29,286
We heard there was
gonna be a show.
1052
00:51:37,454 --> 00:51:41,536
Winston, This is Your Life.
1053
00:51:41,578 --> 00:51:44,259
The fuck?
You hijacked my presentation--
1054
00:51:44,301 --> 00:51:46,461
You were born in 1989
1055
00:51:46,503 --> 00:51:50,185
in Ardsley, New York,
to parents Freddie and Carlene.
1056
00:51:50,227 --> 00:51:51,786
Excelled in school.
Then to MIT,
1057
00:51:51,828 --> 00:51:54,029
where you had your first
and only girlfriend.
1058
00:51:54,071 --> 00:51:55,870
But she dumped you.
I wonder why that was.
1059
00:51:55,912 --> 00:51:57,472
- I...
- Perhaps
1060
00:51:57,514 --> 00:51:59,434
your internet search history
has the answers.
1061
00:52:07,124 --> 00:52:08,883
Also while in Beantown,
1062
00:52:08,925 --> 00:52:10,765
you hacked the College Board
to change the SAT scores
1063
00:52:10,807 --> 00:52:12,407
of Boston Latin students.
1064
00:52:12,449 --> 00:52:15,330
You're so good,
Winston. Do you know that?
1065
00:52:15,372 --> 00:52:17,612
So singular in your talent
1066
00:52:17,654 --> 00:52:20,735
that your coding signature
is unique.
1067
00:52:20,777 --> 00:52:22,497
Immediately identifiable.
1068
00:52:22,539 --> 00:52:24,739
- Oh, fuck!
- That's right!
1069
00:52:24,781 --> 00:52:26,381
And we found that
it's been used to hack
1070
00:52:26,423 --> 00:52:28,183
several government agencies.
1071
00:52:28,225 --> 00:52:30,385
This includes a NATO breach
1072
00:52:30,427 --> 00:52:32,948
in which a gigabyte
of classified information
1073
00:52:32,990 --> 00:52:37,112
was stolen and posted online
to prove NATO's vulnerabilities.
1074
00:52:37,154 --> 00:52:40,115
Heroic in some lights,
1075
00:52:40,157 --> 00:52:42,477
but fucking illegal
in all others.
1076
00:52:42,519 --> 00:52:45,000
That attack was attributed to
the group which you, Winston,
1077
00:52:45,042 --> 00:52:48,363
have been part of
for at least a decade.
1078
00:52:48,405 --> 00:52:50,525
I-- Where did you get this?
1079
00:52:50,567 --> 00:52:51,886
Rian rolled on your ass.
1080
00:52:51,928 --> 00:52:54,369
Kid...
1081
00:52:54,411 --> 00:52:57,012
I know how it feels to have
your purpose
1082
00:52:57,054 --> 00:52:58,893
sucked out from beneath you.
1083
00:52:58,935 --> 00:53:01,256
But let us point
to the road back.
1084
00:53:01,298 --> 00:53:02,897
You will surrender
the software immediately,
1085
00:53:02,939 --> 00:53:05,060
as it is the property of
Michael Prince Capital,
1086
00:53:05,102 --> 00:53:08,543
or all this goes very,
very public. Like, FBI public.
1087
00:53:08,585 --> 00:53:10,745
But cooperate,
and MPC will license
1088
00:53:10,787 --> 00:53:12,147
a lesser version to
the rest of the Street.
1089
00:53:12,189 --> 00:53:13,508
Keeping the best for us,
of course.
1090
00:53:13,550 --> 00:53:15,030
And you can run it.
1091
00:53:15,072 --> 00:53:16,271
I think that's
the better choice.
1092
00:53:16,313 --> 00:53:17,672
That isn't a real choice.
1093
00:53:17,714 --> 00:53:19,154
Isn't pretending
beneath you, Taylor?
1094
00:53:19,196 --> 00:53:20,715
You're right.
There is no choice.
1095
00:53:20,757 --> 00:53:22,717
You have five minutes
before your customers
1096
00:53:22,759 --> 00:53:24,479
start arriving for the pitch.
1097
00:53:24,521 --> 00:53:26,761
So... pull yourself together,
DocuSign,
1098
00:53:26,803 --> 00:53:29,286
and pitch the shit out of them,
or we have calls to make.
1099
00:53:31,448 --> 00:53:35,290
Oh, and we've renamed it.
Trojan Defence.
1100
00:53:35,332 --> 00:53:37,732
Winston Dick Energy
is a name only a man
1101
00:53:37,774 --> 00:53:40,815
with a very, very, small
energy source would choose.
1102
00:53:40,857 --> 00:53:44,221
It's... around
the national average.
1103
00:53:49,226 --> 00:53:51,506
Utterly brutal, Wags.
I mean that as a compliment.
1104
00:53:51,548 --> 00:53:53,748
Wouldn't take it any other way.
1105
00:53:53,790 --> 00:53:56,391
And please, spread this tale
far and wide.
1106
00:53:56,433 --> 00:53:58,435
To anyone who will listen.
1107
00:54:09,206 --> 00:54:10,805
Time to send a message.
1108
00:54:10,847 --> 00:54:13,448
The PAC is, as we said,
likely a misdirect.
1109
00:54:13,490 --> 00:54:15,490
All signs point to him
self-funding.
1110
00:54:15,532 --> 00:54:19,013
Mm. But let's open an
investigation on Michael Prince
1111
00:54:19,055 --> 00:54:22,057
for conspiring to violate
the ban on foreign donations
1112
00:54:22,099 --> 00:54:23,458
and contributions in connection
1113
00:54:23,500 --> 00:54:25,060
with federal
and state elections.
1114
00:54:25,102 --> 00:54:27,382
Use it as cover
to find another way in.
1115
00:54:27,424 --> 00:54:30,865
He needs to think he's got me
running in the wrong direction.
1116
00:54:30,907 --> 00:54:32,909
It will be done.
1117
00:54:35,832 --> 00:54:37,914
-Our boy is back.
-Beautiful thing.
1118
00:54:51,488 --> 00:54:53,488
When last we spoke,
1119
00:54:53,530 --> 00:54:56,691
I said I didn't want to get
into anything that you didn't.
1120
00:54:56,733 --> 00:54:58,373
But if you don't want
to get into something,
1121
00:54:58,415 --> 00:55:00,737
that's exactly
where I need to take you.
1122
00:55:02,259 --> 00:55:03,938
Otherwise, I'm failing you.
1123
00:55:03,980 --> 00:55:06,341
And I'm sorry
I did that before.
1124
00:55:06,383 --> 00:55:08,303
Understood. Thank you.
1125
00:55:10,187 --> 00:55:13,548
Chuck Rhoades is charging us
for violations on the Super PAC.
1126
00:55:13,590 --> 00:55:15,750
Good. Good.
1127
00:55:15,792 --> 00:55:18,393
Do we have the CEO's
citizenship paperwork in hand?
1128
00:55:18,435 --> 00:55:20,595
We do. Granted the same day
as the donation,
1129
00:55:20,637 --> 00:55:22,317
so it's not even
in the system yet.
1130
00:55:22,359 --> 00:55:24,439
Game on, then.
1131
00:55:24,481 --> 00:55:26,483
Nothing for him
at the end of that road.
1132
00:55:39,696 --> 00:55:42,016
What are all these?
1133
00:55:42,058 --> 00:55:45,500
Cases that are winners
but don't matter.
1134
00:55:45,542 --> 00:55:48,223
A once-vaunted lawman
called prosecutors
1135
00:55:48,265 --> 00:55:49,784
that only go after these, quote,
1136
00:55:49,826 --> 00:55:52,147
"members of
the chickenshit club."
1137
00:55:52,189 --> 00:55:54,629
Not a club I want to join.
1138
00:55:54,671 --> 00:55:56,391
Not one you'll have to
1139
00:55:56,433 --> 00:55:58,953
because we are going
after the ones that do matter,
1140
00:55:58,995 --> 00:56:01,716
starting with your
pump-and-dump case.
1141
00:56:01,758 --> 00:56:03,800
-You ready?
-More than.
1142
00:56:05,802 --> 00:56:07,402
You know, there's something
you'll have to learn
1143
00:56:07,444 --> 00:56:10,205
going after the important ones:
1144
00:56:10,247 --> 00:56:12,449
really fucking
hurts to lose.
1145
00:56:14,371 --> 00:56:17,332
Chips away pieces of you
each time.
1146
00:56:17,374 --> 00:56:21,095
Pieces you don't get back.
1147
00:56:21,137 --> 00:56:24,739
And it leaves you with no
choice but to...
1148
00:56:24,781 --> 00:56:26,783
go forward incomplete.
1149
00:56:28,545 --> 00:56:31,626
But, what, you're
all the better for it?
1150
00:56:31,668 --> 00:56:33,670
Stronger and whatnot?
1151
00:56:34,150 --> 00:56:36,152
No.
1152
00:56:36,833 --> 00:56:40,397
You just go forward
like that, missing pieces.
1153
00:56:42,078 --> 00:56:44,118
Because that's
the way you are now
1154
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:45,800
and there's no other choice.
1155
00:56:45,842 --> 00:56:49,204
- Fuck.
- Mm-hmm.
1156
00:56:49,246 --> 00:56:51,726
But that's not something
to worry about today.
1157
00:56:51,768 --> 00:56:54,729
Because before all that
stuff-of-life happens,
1158
00:56:54,771 --> 00:56:57,171
we are gonna
win cases aplenty.
1159
00:56:57,213 --> 00:57:00,134
I goddamn guarantee you that.
