1
00:00:04,564 --> 00:00:06,084
<i>Previously on</i> Billions...

2
00:00:06,126 --> 00:00:07,886
It's been said one is
either a hammer

3
00:00:07,928 --> 00:00:09,688
or an anvil.

4
00:00:09,730 --> 00:00:11,610
Good people have been
the anvil for too long.

5
00:00:11,652 --> 00:00:13,452
I've been seeing
an outside psychiatrist.

6
00:00:13,494 --> 00:00:15,694
Respectfully, this is
separate from what you do.

7
00:00:15,736 --> 00:00:17,776
I've been expecting you.

8
00:00:17,818 --> 00:00:19,859
Rustle someone's cattle,
they're gonna come looking.

9
00:00:19,901 --> 00:00:21,260
I can't afford to let
Chuck Rhodes

10
00:00:21,302 --> 00:00:22,662
revert to his nature.

11
00:00:22,704 --> 00:00:24,263
So, you're feeding him
some red meat

12
00:00:24,305 --> 00:00:25,705
so you know exactly
where he's coming from.

13
00:00:25,747 --> 00:00:27,106
This is Michael Prince's
Super PAC filing.

14
00:00:27,148 --> 00:00:28,508
What did you learn?

15
00:00:28,550 --> 00:00:30,710
Potential violation of
52 USC 30121.

16
00:00:30,752 --> 00:00:33,193
I'm not in the market
for a performance coach.

17
00:00:33,235 --> 00:00:35,995
I was suggesting therapy.

18
00:00:36,037 --> 00:00:37,597
<i>Time to send a message.</i>

19
00:00:37,639 --> 00:00:40,640
Let's open an investigation
on Michael Prince.

20
00:00:40,682 --> 00:00:43,764
Chuck Rhodes is charging us
for violations on the Super PAC.

21
00:00:43,806 --> 00:00:45,165
Game on, then.

22
00:00:45,207 --> 00:00:47,407
Nothing for him
at the end of that road.

23
00:00:47,449 --> 00:00:49,650
But I have decided
that he is dangerous,

24
00:00:49,692 --> 00:00:51,812
and I can't be part
of another strongman

25
00:00:51,854 --> 00:00:53,254
entering the world stage.

26
00:00:53,296 --> 00:00:55,496
Before all that
stuff-of-life happens,

27
00:00:55,538 --> 00:00:58,059
we are going
to win cases aplenty.

28
00:00:58,101 --> 00:01:00,663
I goddamn guarantee you that.

29
00:01:47,833 --> 00:01:50,674
Hi, my name is John G.,
and I'm a gambling addict.

30
00:01:50,716 --> 00:01:52,396
Hi, John.

31
00:01:52,438 --> 00:01:55,639
This seemed legit. Proper.

32
00:01:55,681 --> 00:01:57,040
That's what I kept
telling myself

33
00:01:57,082 --> 00:01:58,242
to shut down the other voice

34
00:01:58,284 --> 00:02:00,286
telling me to run the other way.

35
00:02:00,806 --> 00:02:05,049
NFTs are an investment, right?

36
00:02:05,091 --> 00:02:07,011
Not a gamble.
According to Gary Vee

37
00:02:07,053 --> 00:02:08,693
and all those other guys.

38
00:02:08,735 --> 00:02:11,496
And that is probably true...

39
00:02:11,538 --> 00:02:13,338
for some folks.

40
00:02:13,380 --> 00:02:15,300
Regular folks.

41
00:02:15,342 --> 00:02:18,343
But I should have
recognised the rush.

42
00:02:18,385 --> 00:02:21,706
The hunger. That deep-seated...

43
00:02:21,748 --> 00:02:23,348
secret need to lose.

44
00:02:23,390 --> 00:02:25,392
Just lose.

45
00:02:26,553 --> 00:02:30,355
And those shady fucking guys.

46
00:02:30,397 --> 00:02:32,438
Well, there was
one shady fucking guy.

47
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,840
Eh, computer nerd.
Taiwanese.

48
00:02:34,882 --> 00:02:37,082
Kal Huang Liu.

49
00:02:37,124 --> 00:02:39,405
He had amazing bona fides,
but...

50
00:02:39,447 --> 00:02:43,169
he turned out to be
a motherfucker.

51
00:02:43,211 --> 00:02:45,131
Scamster.

52
00:02:45,173 --> 00:02:46,853
And I--I can't do
anything about it

53
00:02:46,895 --> 00:02:50,096
'cause his daddy is
some Asian tycoon

54
00:02:50,138 --> 00:02:54,621
with more lawyers than I've
got ass pimples, so, um...

55
00:02:56,665 --> 00:02:58,667
So, now I am back to zero.

56
00:02:59,348 --> 00:03:02,709
Less than zero,
like that movie says.

57
00:03:02,751 --> 00:03:05,314
And back in G.A. rooms,
counting days.

58
00:03:06,956 --> 00:03:08,676
Shit.

59
00:03:08,718 --> 00:03:11,280
Uh, thanks for listening.

60
00:03:18,127 --> 00:03:19,607
Tough one, kid.

61
00:03:19,649 --> 00:03:21,289
Oh, thanks.

62
00:03:21,331 --> 00:03:24,372
You know,
it, uh, was Elvis Costello

63
00:03:24,414 --> 00:03:26,374
who came up with
"Less Than Zero"

64
00:03:26,416 --> 00:03:29,257
before that, uh,
vampire at Bennington did.

65
00:03:30,500 --> 00:03:32,501
Just another thing I fucked up.

66
00:03:32,543 --> 00:03:35,063
No! You're turning it around.

67
00:03:35,105 --> 00:03:38,227
That's why you're here.
Why I'm here.

68
00:03:38,269 --> 00:03:40,189
Yeah. Plus, this meeting
has the best coffee.

69
00:03:40,231 --> 00:03:41,991
I take an extra train
just to drink it

70
00:03:42,033 --> 00:03:44,033
instead of the weak shit
that the other meetings have.

71
00:03:44,075 --> 00:03:45,915
Warms my heart.

72
00:03:45,957 --> 00:03:47,276
This is my samovar.

73
00:03:47,318 --> 00:03:48,637
Hm.

74
00:03:48,679 --> 00:03:50,119
I keep it in the closet.

75
00:03:50,161 --> 00:03:51,761
Life's too short for bad coffee.

76
00:03:51,803 --> 00:03:54,203
Yeah.

77
00:03:54,245 --> 00:03:57,487
Wanna tell me a little more
about what happened to you?

78
00:03:57,529 --> 00:03:59,369
These ears are for listening
to more than just

79
00:03:59,411 --> 00:04:01,413
old British New wave.

80
00:04:29,482 --> 00:04:32,003
<i>Whatever it is</i>
<i>I'm doing that you don't like,</i>

81
00:04:32,045 --> 00:04:34,045
<i>I'll stop doing it.</i>

82
00:04:45,859 --> 00:04:48,100
Oh, he is so going down.

83
00:04:48,142 --> 00:04:50,222
Nah, they never do.
They know how to brace.

84
00:04:51,786 --> 00:04:53,586
Thousand bucks he falls.

85
00:04:53,628 --> 00:04:55,948
<i>These winds are--are</i>
<i>like nothing I've ever--</i>

86
00:04:55,990 --> 00:04:57,590
<i>Ronnie, are you</i>
<i>all right out there?</i>

87
00:04:57,632 --> 00:04:58,911
Five thou he falls.

88
00:04:58,953 --> 00:05:00,753
Additional two on a head injury.

89
00:05:00,795 --> 00:05:01,954
Booked.

90
00:05:01,996 --> 00:05:05,038
<i>This storm is a doozy.</i>

91
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:06,559
<i>It was originally</i>
<i>predicted to be</i>

92
00:05:06,601 --> 00:05:08,761
<i>a high Category Three</i>
<i>hurricane,</i>

93
00:05:08,803 --> 00:05:10,563
<i>low Category Four</i>
<i>at a maximum,</i>

94
00:05:10,605 --> 00:05:13,607
<i>but I wouldn't be surprised</i>

95
00:05:13,649 --> 00:05:16,009
<i>if newer reports</i>
<i>put it even higher.</i>

96
00:05:16,051 --> 00:05:18,652
<i>And you think we could be</i>
<i>dealing with a Cat Five here?</i>

97
00:05:18,694 --> 00:05:20,734
Ouch!

98
00:05:20,776 --> 00:05:22,135
-Yes!
- <i>Ronnie, do we still have you?</i>

99
00:05:22,177 --> 00:05:23,177
My Venmo handle is--

100
00:05:23,219 --> 00:05:25,099
LuckBox16. I got it.

101
00:05:25,141 --> 00:05:26,740
You guys.

102
00:05:26,782 --> 00:05:28,382
<i>I'm not sure</i>
<i>if he can hear us.</i>

103
00:05:28,424 --> 00:05:29,383
Ronnie, do we have you?

104
00:05:29,425 --> 00:05:30,945
<i>Can you hear me?</i>

105
00:05:30,987 --> 00:05:32,066
<i>We thought we lost you</i>
<i>for a second.</i>

106
00:05:32,108 --> 00:05:34,028
Bet my nuts it reaches Cat Five.

107
00:05:34,070 --> 00:05:35,950
Care to make it interesting?

108
00:05:35,992 --> 00:05:39,233
My nuts are fascinating,
but how 'bout we go ten grand?

109
00:05:39,275 --> 00:05:40,395
Done.

110
00:05:40,437 --> 00:05:42,637
Whoa. Quick on the draw there.

111
00:05:42,679 --> 00:05:44,959
For a Cat Five,
the winds have to be

112
00:05:45,001 --> 00:05:47,562
at least 157 miles per hour.

113
00:05:47,604 --> 00:05:50,085
That's, like,
airborne livestock level.

114
00:05:50,127 --> 00:05:51,526
Did you see that motherfucker?

115
00:05:51,568 --> 00:05:53,328
He went down like Dafoe
in <i>Platoon,</i>

116
00:05:53,370 --> 00:05:55,010
and they haven't even
named the storm yet.

117
00:05:55,052 --> 00:05:56,972
I want in.

118
00:05:57,014 --> 00:06:00,498
Five it goes Cat Five, another
three they name it Rachel.

119
00:06:02,780 --> 00:06:04,782
This is really dark, you guys.

120
00:06:05,663 --> 00:06:07,343
Eight K it stays Cat Four,

121
00:06:07,385 --> 00:06:09,225
and five they call her Rosie,

122
00:06:09,267 --> 00:06:11,788
spelled R-O-S-I-E.

123
00:06:11,830 --> 00:06:14,831
So, we're betting
on whether or not

124
00:06:14,873 --> 00:06:16,553
people are gonna
lose their homes?

125
00:06:16,595 --> 00:06:17,874
That's what we've come to?

126
00:06:17,916 --> 00:06:21,318
Oh, we're already there.
Embrace it.

127
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,201
You know, I am
kind of okay with this.

128
00:06:24,243 --> 00:06:26,083
Jesus! Wow. Okay.

129
00:06:26,125 --> 00:06:28,605
Learn something about yourself
in the strangest times.

130
00:06:28,647 --> 00:06:30,287
I'll throw a fiver on
over a million evacuees

131
00:06:30,329 --> 00:06:31,809
leaving in the next 48 hours,

132
00:06:31,851 --> 00:06:33,610
and twelve grand
it gets to Cat Five.

133
00:06:33,652 --> 00:06:35,855
And three they name it Rosy,
but spelled with a y.

134
00:06:37,256 --> 00:06:39,296
You can't judge, then join--

135
00:06:39,338 --> 00:06:40,738
I'll donate a portion
to charity.

136
00:06:40,780 --> 00:06:43,341
Oh, please.
There are no good Nazis.

137
00:06:43,383 --> 00:06:45,743
<i>The National Weather</i>
<i>Service has just announced</i>

138
00:06:45,785 --> 00:06:48,346
<i>their moniker for this</i>
<i>surging storm:</i>

139
00:06:48,388 --> 00:06:50,390
<i>Hurricane Rosie.</i>

140
00:06:51,311 --> 00:06:52,831
That's bullcrap!

141
00:06:52,873 --> 00:06:55,313
That's I-E, baby.
You owe me, Rian.

142
00:06:55,355 --> 00:06:57,195
You too, Kim.

143
00:06:57,237 --> 00:06:59,758
Five thou in honour of
my Nonna Rosalia,

144
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,561
and I want it in cash,
just like she would've.

145
00:07:02,603 --> 00:07:04,363
If Rosie hits Category Five,
it's going to cost you all

146
00:07:04,405 --> 00:07:06,004
a lot more than those bets.

147
00:07:06,046 --> 00:07:07,566
Southern Property & Casualty

148
00:07:07,608 --> 00:07:09,128
is one of the major insurers
down there.

149
00:07:09,170 --> 00:07:10,809
Mike Prince holds
several billion worth

150
00:07:10,851 --> 00:07:12,371
of catastrophe
bonds issued by them.

151
00:07:12,413 --> 00:07:14,613
If you degenerates
were all better acquainted

152
00:07:14,655 --> 00:07:16,736
with Mike Prince's
diversified holdings,

153
00:07:16,778 --> 00:07:17,937
you wouldn't be revelling.

154
00:07:17,979 --> 00:07:19,539
Dollar Bill started it.

155
00:07:19,581 --> 00:07:21,501
Yeah, but you doofuses
should've known better.

156
00:07:21,543 --> 00:07:22,702
I just got back.

157
00:07:22,744 --> 00:07:24,464
How fucked are we?

158
00:07:24,506 --> 00:07:25,705
Once they declare Cat Five,
the bonds are triggered

159
00:07:25,747 --> 00:07:27,187
and used to pay claims.

160
00:07:27,229 --> 00:07:29,389
That's a buzzcut
for our total capital.

161
00:07:29,431 --> 00:07:30,830
So, make like Costner
in <i>Waterworld</i>

162
00:07:30,872 --> 00:07:32,552
and start praying
for dry land.

163
00:07:32,594 --> 00:07:35,515
Anyone who thinks
this ends up Cat Five,

164
00:07:35,557 --> 00:07:37,559
you got the ass end
of the bet.

165
00:07:45,167 --> 00:07:48,409
Nice. Karl, this is exactly
what we're looking for.

166
00:07:48,451 --> 00:07:50,851
DOJ likes to flash.
Trendy, visible, winnable.

167
00:07:50,893 --> 00:07:52,813
-Hm.
-Yep.

168
00:07:52,855 --> 00:07:54,936
The kid, Kai Huang Liu,

169
00:07:54,978 --> 00:07:56,417
sells sham NFTs,

170
00:07:56,459 --> 00:07:58,139
then erases the point of sale

171
00:07:58,181 --> 00:08:00,421
and launders the proceeds
through crypto.

172
00:08:00,463 --> 00:08:03,905
Mm-hmm. Fits the mandate
to crack down on crypto fraud.

173
00:08:03,947 --> 00:08:06,067
You don't even know
the best part yet.

174
00:08:06,109 --> 00:08:07,669
Tell us the kicker.

175
00:08:07,711 --> 00:08:09,111
Can't wait to.

176
00:08:09,153 --> 00:08:11,353
I've been trawling these
gambler anon meetings

177
00:08:11,395 --> 00:08:13,755
for years, just waiting
for something good to come--

178
00:08:13,797 --> 00:08:15,437
Please say you actually
have a problem

179
00:08:15,479 --> 00:08:16,959
because if you just go to
the meetings to solicit--

180
00:08:17,001 --> 00:08:18,881
Yeah, please have
a story in your pocket

181
00:08:18,923 --> 00:08:22,204
about losing the rent
on, uh, you know,

182
00:08:22,246 --> 00:08:25,127
"Pinochle broke me,"
something of the sort.

183
00:08:25,169 --> 00:08:27,810
Pinochle broke me.

184
00:08:27,852 --> 00:08:30,613
Yeah.

185
00:08:30,655 --> 00:08:32,855
I'd swear to it under oath.

186
00:08:32,897 --> 00:08:34,377
Now. Wanna see the kicker?

187
00:08:34,419 --> 00:08:36,379
Mm-hmm.

188
00:08:36,421 --> 00:08:41,024
Liu's pop is a mega-billionaire.
Industrialist.

189
00:08:41,066 --> 00:08:43,587
Does thrice-yearly deals
with none other

190
00:08:43,629 --> 00:08:45,711
than Michael Prince himself.

191
00:08:49,155 --> 00:08:51,355
They've been in deep
for over a decade.

192
00:08:51,397 --> 00:08:52,876
If we pinch the kid,

193
00:08:52,918 --> 00:08:54,921
they all look real bad.

194
00:08:58,124 --> 00:09:00,044
Karl, that's not just a kicker,

195
00:09:00,086 --> 00:09:02,088
that's a Tom Dempsey.

196
00:09:03,289 --> 00:09:05,490
I'm unfamiliar.

197
00:09:05,532 --> 00:09:08,052
Had half a foot, kicked
with a special sawed-off shoe.

198
00:09:08,094 --> 00:09:09,654
Still made
60-yard field goals.

199
00:09:09,696 --> 00:09:11,696
Then, yeah, that's this.

200
00:09:11,738 --> 00:09:14,299
We can get you a warrant
for the kid right away, Karl.

201
00:09:14,341 --> 00:09:16,503
Good. Go scoop him up.

202
00:09:21,629 --> 00:09:24,109
"Ooh, a storm is threatening,"

203
00:09:24,151 --> 00:09:26,031
as geriatric Jagger croons.

204
00:09:26,073 --> 00:09:28,153
Are there any actions
you'd like me to take

205
00:09:28,195 --> 00:09:30,316
in the face of potentially
massive payouts?

206
00:09:30,358 --> 00:09:33,039
No action. We work
with whatever happens.

207
00:09:33,081 --> 00:09:34,921
We could likely get rocked.

208
00:09:34,963 --> 00:09:37,203
Then we get rocked.

209
00:09:37,245 --> 00:09:39,285
Ah. Of course.

210
00:09:39,327 --> 00:09:41,407
Other circumstances
take precedent.

211
00:09:41,449 --> 00:09:43,451
As they should.

212
00:09:50,219 --> 00:09:52,939
I always liked the way
Obama referred to Biden

213
00:09:52,981 --> 00:09:54,821
as his partner publicly,

214
00:09:54,863 --> 00:09:56,703
even though we all knew he was
barely listening to the V.P.

215
00:09:56,745 --> 00:09:58,385
when they were in private.

216
00:09:58,427 --> 00:10:00,347
I think Biden would have
preferred the opposite.

217
00:10:00,389 --> 00:10:01,909
And, uh, Scooter
isn't actually your partner

218
00:10:01,951 --> 00:10:03,591
in owning the business.

219
00:10:03,633 --> 00:10:05,112
No, but...

220
00:10:05,154 --> 00:10:06,834
I'd listen to him
as though he were.

221
00:10:06,876 --> 00:10:09,078
I-I truly think of him
that way.

222
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,200
And I try to reward him as such.

223
00:10:12,242 --> 00:10:14,642
You find ways to reaffirm your
trust and loyalty,

224
00:10:14,684 --> 00:10:17,765
so it continues to be
returned in kind.

225
00:10:17,807 --> 00:10:20,849
Yes, but also I love the guy.

226
00:10:20,891 --> 00:10:24,252
That's why made the winning bid
at the symphony charity auction:

227
00:10:24,294 --> 00:10:26,935
Scooter's gonna
conduct the Philharmonic.

228
00:10:26,977 --> 00:10:28,817
I'm gonna bring him on stage,

229
00:10:28,859 --> 00:10:31,620
introduce him,
really blow it out.

230
00:10:31,662 --> 00:10:33,982
I see why that seems
like the thing to do.

231
00:10:34,024 --> 00:10:35,985
And for you and Scooter,
holistically,

232
00:10:36,027 --> 00:10:38,267
it is the thing to do.

233
00:10:38,309 --> 00:10:40,509
But classical music
is pussy music.

234
00:10:40,551 --> 00:10:42,231
That's insane.

235
00:10:42,273 --> 00:10:43,552
Not to the voters.

236
00:10:43,594 --> 00:10:45,515
And to them,
people who like it...

237
00:10:45,557 --> 00:10:47,437
are pussies.

238
00:10:47,479 --> 00:10:49,481
Including you.

239
00:10:59,051 --> 00:11:00,250
It's like this.

240
00:11:00,292 --> 00:11:02,372
Al Capone can cry at Pagliacci

241
00:11:02,414 --> 00:11:04,855
'cause he's having a guy
murdered at the same time.

242
00:11:04,897 --> 00:11:07,418
Also because he's being
played by Robert De Niro.

243
00:11:07,460 --> 00:11:09,980
Anyone else is... effete.

244
00:11:10,022 --> 00:11:12,663
Uh, you used a different word
before she walked in the room.

245
00:11:12,705 --> 00:11:15,108
His idiolect changes based on
who he wants to affect.

246
00:11:17,110 --> 00:11:18,789
We've barely met,
how can you--

247
00:11:18,831 --> 00:11:20,591
I'm a professional evaluator
of people,

248
00:11:20,633 --> 00:11:22,233
so I thin-sliced it
and--

249
00:11:22,275 --> 00:11:24,115
Well, I'm a professional
evaluator of people

250
00:11:24,157 --> 00:11:27,198
and a comms strategist.
Words--

251
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,121
Jesus, you-you like
shaking people up, don't you?

252
00:11:30,163 --> 00:11:32,726
Like it? I don't know.
Just happens.

253
00:11:34,528 --> 00:11:36,690
This is about Scooter
conducting.

254
00:11:38,292 --> 00:11:41,013
Regardless what word
we use, yeah.

255
00:11:41,055 --> 00:11:43,736
No chamber music for you
or Scooter. I have to veto it.

256
00:11:43,778 --> 00:11:45,578
First of all,
you don't have veto power.

257
00:11:45,620 --> 00:11:47,179
Second, orchestral,
not chamber.

258
00:11:47,221 --> 00:11:49,382
Third, I'm not effete.

259
00:11:49,424 --> 00:11:51,426
Yeah, Mike's no pussy.

260
00:11:52,387 --> 00:11:53,826
See?

261
00:11:53,868 --> 00:11:56,269
- I was a college athlete.
- Uh-huh.

262
00:11:56,311 --> 00:11:58,551
So, let's throw out the first
pitch somewhere that night

263
00:11:58,593 --> 00:12:00,153
instead of
going to the concerto.

264
00:12:00,195 --> 00:12:01,634
You think one night
at the Phil

265
00:12:01,676 --> 00:12:03,036
is gonna have
that much negative impact?

266
00:12:03,078 --> 00:12:04,477
It's not one night.

267
00:12:04,519 --> 00:12:07,240
It's the conversation
surrounding it.

268
00:12:07,282 --> 00:12:08,562
Who's your favourite
female conductor?

269
00:12:08,604 --> 00:12:11,044
Marin Alsop,
Baltimore Symphony.

270
00:12:11,086 --> 00:12:13,407
I hate that you have
that answer so fast.

271
00:12:13,449 --> 00:12:16,170
Okay, Baltimore,

272
00:12:16,212 --> 00:12:17,771
who's your favourite Oriole?

273
00:12:17,813 --> 00:12:19,773
Mussina. Even though
he retired a Yankee.

274
00:12:19,815 --> 00:12:21,817
Favourite now?

275
00:12:24,020 --> 00:12:26,022
Baseball's kind of dead.

276
00:12:27,183 --> 00:12:28,262
Tell him.

277
00:12:28,304 --> 00:12:30,184
You understand this shit, right?

278
00:12:30,226 --> 00:12:32,867
'Cause as a professional
thin slicer of people, you know

279
00:12:32,909 --> 00:12:35,710
classical music
makes people feel dumb.

280
00:12:35,752 --> 00:12:38,033
Some people.
Absolutely.

281
00:12:38,075 --> 00:12:40,475
But are those people
Prince voters anyway?

282
00:12:40,517 --> 00:12:41,837
Big tent.

283
00:12:41,879 --> 00:12:43,759
Let's not write anyone off yet.

284
00:12:43,801 --> 00:12:45,801
Then cancel any and all
involvement with the symphony

285
00:12:45,843 --> 00:12:48,043
until they play you into the job

286
00:12:48,085 --> 00:12:49,404
at your inauguration.

287
00:12:49,446 --> 00:12:52,410
But we should have
Bocephus anyway.

288
00:12:54,412 --> 00:12:57,173
Wendy, do you have
a real lean here?

289
00:12:57,215 --> 00:13:00,496
Michael Prince is a maverick
who rewrites the rules.

290
00:13:00,538 --> 00:13:02,458
That's what works for him.

291
00:13:02,500 --> 00:13:04,060
For you.

292
00:13:04,102 --> 00:13:05,942
I don't see why candidate Prince
would switch that up.

293
00:13:05,984 --> 00:13:07,986
After all...

294
00:13:08,587 --> 00:13:10,827
he is the buck.

295
00:13:10,869 --> 00:13:13,189
I'm telling you, you've
gotta walk this back.

296
00:13:13,231 --> 00:13:15,674
Nope. Gonna march it forward.

297
00:13:19,438 --> 00:13:21,440
Eyes up!

298
00:13:22,321 --> 00:13:24,523
Scooter, stand with me.

299
00:13:29,368 --> 00:13:32,770
Team: this man.

300
00:13:32,812 --> 00:13:36,013
This man of many disciplines,
many skills, many talents,

301
00:13:36,055 --> 00:13:38,776
is about to showcase
a hidden one.

302
00:13:38,818 --> 00:13:40,418
Two weeks from tomorrow,

303
00:13:40,460 --> 00:13:44,022
he will conduct the
New York Philharmonic Orchestra.

304
00:13:44,064 --> 00:13:45,503
I'll be introducing him.

305
00:13:45,545 --> 00:13:48,106
All of you will be there
cheering him on.

306
00:13:51,111 --> 00:13:53,071
I was really enjoying
your fucking act

307
00:13:53,113 --> 00:13:55,794
until you Joe Theismanned
my ass.

308
00:13:55,836 --> 00:13:57,155
Like Lawrence Taylor.

309
00:13:57,197 --> 00:13:59,238
-That's what they pay me for.
-Hm.

310
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:00,719
Look, you gotta know
you're not always gonna

311
00:14:00,761 --> 00:14:02,521
get your way with him.
It's not how we--

312
00:14:02,563 --> 00:14:03,883
You think I'm pissed because
I didn't get my way?

313
00:14:03,925 --> 00:14:05,845
Thank you. Thank you.

314
00:14:05,887 --> 00:14:08,247
It means a lot to have
the well wishes of this team.

315
00:14:08,289 --> 00:14:10,570
I think you're frustrated
because Prince isn't pliable

316
00:14:10,612 --> 00:14:12,652
the way most of your
candidates probably are.

317
00:14:12,694 --> 00:14:14,814
They don't start out that way.

318
00:14:14,856 --> 00:14:17,937
But I tell them what to do.
They do it. And then they win.

319
00:14:17,979 --> 00:14:19,419
I don't appease.

320
00:14:19,461 --> 00:14:20,700
I don't coax and massage

321
00:14:20,742 --> 00:14:22,462
the way, say,
a therapist might.

322
00:14:22,504 --> 00:14:24,344
I look like I get out
the scented oils

323
00:14:24,386 --> 00:14:26,186
and Dead Can Dance CDs
before I rub your shoulders?

324
00:14:26,228 --> 00:14:28,270
The verbal equivalent. Yeah.

325
00:14:30,112 --> 00:14:31,752
And, uh, I have
something for you

326
00:14:31,794 --> 00:14:33,796
to commemorate
this moment--

327
00:14:41,083 --> 00:14:43,124
Belonged to Leonard Bernstein.

328
00:14:43,166 --> 00:14:45,168
Greatest of the greats.

329
00:14:46,169 --> 00:14:48,329
This is your time, Scoot.

330
00:14:48,371 --> 00:14:49,490
So proud of you.

331
00:14:55,218 --> 00:14:59,261
I have been preparing for this
opportunity for a long time,

332
00:14:59,303 --> 00:15:02,224
silently, quietly,
in my waking dreams.

333
00:15:02,266 --> 00:15:05,589
But I never knew
it would come to fruition.

334
00:15:07,832 --> 00:15:09,832
Thank you, Mike.

335
00:15:09,874 --> 00:15:13,636
It would be my honour
to share this with you all.

336
00:15:13,678 --> 00:15:15,197
I promise not to disappoint.

337
00:15:15,239 --> 00:15:16,278
Yeah!

338
00:15:22,727 --> 00:15:24,047
But for real, though,

339
00:15:24,089 --> 00:15:25,848
your job here,
if we boil it down,

340
00:15:25,890 --> 00:15:28,411
is to make everyone else's life
a little better, right?

341
00:15:28,453 --> 00:15:29,813
Remove the obstacles
in their way.

342
00:15:29,855 --> 00:15:31,174
In a sense.

343
00:15:31,216 --> 00:15:32,976
Today, though,
you made mine worse.

344
00:15:33,018 --> 00:15:35,018
Look, he called me in.

345
00:15:35,060 --> 00:15:37,621
To do the thing that
I do for him. Not you.

346
00:15:37,663 --> 00:15:39,463
'Cause whatever it was
he was getting from you,

347
00:15:39,505 --> 00:15:41,507
it clearly wasn't enough.

348
00:15:52,999 --> 00:15:55,239
If we can connect Eric T.
to the real estate fraud,

349
00:15:55,281 --> 00:15:56,921
maybe he'll roll.

350
00:15:56,963 --> 00:15:58,122
We get big sister up
from Indian Creek Island,

351
00:15:58,164 --> 00:15:59,284
she finally gets
revenge on pops

352
00:15:59,326 --> 00:16:00,164
for ruining her
social standing.

353
00:16:01,808 --> 00:16:03,208
A second, boss.

354
00:16:03,250 --> 00:16:05,210
One moment, Ms. Torre.

355
00:16:05,252 --> 00:16:07,254
Ira.

356
00:16:10,737 --> 00:16:13,178
- Kid's gone.
- Gambling kid or criminal kid?

357
00:16:13,220 --> 00:16:15,621
- The scammer.
- When you say "gone"?

358
00:16:15,663 --> 00:16:18,624
Got a warrant, entered his place
with the agents. Gone.

359
00:16:18,666 --> 00:16:20,586
Either tipped off
or knew he'd pushed it.

360
00:16:20,628 --> 00:16:22,188
Phone's off, too.

361
00:16:22,230 --> 00:16:23,469
Figure he's gone to ground?

362
00:16:23,511 --> 00:16:25,631
No. Billionaire's kid, you said.

363
00:16:25,673 --> 00:16:27,954
They don't go to ground,
they flee the jurisdiction.

364
00:16:27,996 --> 00:16:30,476
They sure do. Karl...

365
00:16:30,518 --> 00:16:32,358
get Ms. Torre off
whatever she's working on

366
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:33,960
and onto this,
interfacing with the agents,

367
00:16:34,002 --> 00:16:35,682
checking ships, yachts,

368
00:16:35,724 --> 00:16:37,444
airplane manifests, all of it.

369
00:16:37,486 --> 00:16:39,205
Ground the family crafts.

370
00:16:39,247 --> 00:16:41,007
If Elon Musk is
prototyping jet suits,

371
00:16:41,049 --> 00:16:43,612
find out if our guy's
flying one of those back home.

372
00:16:46,735 --> 00:16:48,737
Come on.

373
00:16:50,980 --> 00:16:54,341
When you try to drip poison
in someone's mouth,

374
00:16:54,383 --> 00:16:56,944
he may turn his head.

375
00:16:56,986 --> 00:16:59,549
And then a clean kill
can turn very messy.

376
00:17:01,230 --> 00:17:03,191
And before long,
you have Dan Aykroyd

377
00:17:03,233 --> 00:17:05,233
double barreling
semi-automatics at your face.

378
00:17:05,275 --> 00:17:08,476
Ah, yes.
Uh, <i>Grosse Pointe Blank.</i>

379
00:17:08,518 --> 00:17:10,999
You know, from treating
all your colleagues--

380
00:17:11,041 --> 00:17:13,041
and I can say this without
breaking confidence,

381
00:17:13,083 --> 00:17:15,363
since that is what brought you
to me in the first place--

382
00:17:15,405 --> 00:17:18,767
I have gotten to revisit
so many fine films.

383
00:17:18,809 --> 00:17:20,929
This one I missed
first time around,

384
00:17:20,971 --> 00:17:22,811
but I enjoyed it.

385
00:17:22,853 --> 00:17:27,056
Even if its commentary
on ambition in the work force

386
00:17:27,098 --> 00:17:29,498
is a bit heavy handed.

387
00:17:29,540 --> 00:17:31,420
I mean, even Shakespeare
laid it on a bit thick

388
00:17:31,462 --> 00:17:32,782
when he was really
trying to make a point.

389
00:17:32,824 --> 00:17:34,263
Still effective.

390
00:17:34,305 --> 00:17:36,586
which play comes to mind?
Answer quickly.

391
00:17:36,628 --> 00:17:39,589
Um, <i>Richard III.</i>

392
00:17:39,631 --> 00:17:44,314
Another work about
an assassin of sorts.

393
00:17:44,356 --> 00:17:46,075
I'm sensing a theme.

394
00:17:46,117 --> 00:17:48,560
Yes. Now that I said it...

395
00:17:51,203 --> 00:17:53,205
ah, you asked on purpose to s--

396
00:17:54,206 --> 00:17:55,686
That's good.

397
00:17:55,728 --> 00:17:59,409
Yes, now that I said it,
I do feel a bit like...

398
00:17:59,451 --> 00:18:01,932
Richard these days,
if more justifiably motivated.

399
00:18:01,974 --> 00:18:05,135
The real Richard was
in quite the tough spot.

400
00:18:05,177 --> 00:18:08,939
His family would have lost
the throne if he didn't act.

401
00:18:08,981 --> 00:18:11,224
Well, that's the question
one asks oneself, isn't it?

402
00:18:13,226 --> 00:18:16,908
If the damage, intended
or collateral, is justified--

403
00:18:16,950 --> 00:18:19,310
or even when
you know it is justified,

404
00:18:19,352 --> 00:18:21,352
if you can live with
the collateral damage.

405
00:18:21,394 --> 00:18:24,996
Change the "you" to "I"
when using examples.

406
00:18:25,038 --> 00:18:27,719
It's difficult to do,
but try it.

407
00:18:27,761 --> 00:18:31,403
I have to do some things.

408
00:18:31,445 --> 00:18:34,408
I am doing some things
that I deem...

409
00:18:35,529 --> 00:18:37,531
necessary.

410
00:18:38,252 --> 00:18:40,733
And these things will help

411
00:18:40,775 --> 00:18:43,295
many, many people.

412
00:18:43,337 --> 00:18:46,859
But they will hurt
some other people.

413
00:18:46,901 --> 00:18:48,903
Fewer.

414
00:18:50,065 --> 00:18:52,665
But the hurt ones are folks
that I know and care about.

415
00:18:52,707 --> 00:18:54,828
So... guilt.

416
00:18:54,870 --> 00:18:56,349
Well, it's strange

417
00:18:56,391 --> 00:18:58,111
because guilt usually
rears up when you--

418
00:18:58,153 --> 00:19:01,114
when I-- do bad things,
things that I know are wrong.

419
00:19:01,156 --> 00:19:03,637
But this is different.
Justified. And yet--

420
00:19:03,679 --> 00:19:06,880
That's why the trolley problem
takes up so many class sessions

421
00:19:06,922 --> 00:19:08,362
when it's taught at Harvard.

422
00:19:08,404 --> 00:19:11,285
We are feeling creatures,

423
00:19:11,327 --> 00:19:14,008
even if it often seems
as though we are not.

424
00:19:14,050 --> 00:19:15,930
So, we know we should only

425
00:19:15,972 --> 00:19:19,734
divert the runaway trolley
if more people will live,

426
00:19:19,776 --> 00:19:23,257
yet we hesitate if we learn
too many nice things

427
00:19:23,299 --> 00:19:26,461
about any one potential victim.

428
00:19:26,503 --> 00:19:28,703
Right. So, how do I execute
what I need to,

429
00:19:28,745 --> 00:19:30,625
all the little moves,

430
00:19:30,667 --> 00:19:32,267
knowing that I'm gonna
do real harm to people

431
00:19:32,309 --> 00:19:34,591
who've done nothing
to earn that fate?

432
00:19:36,113 --> 00:19:38,876
What more can you tell me?
In specific.

433
00:19:45,162 --> 00:19:46,161
You've heard that
Michael Prince

434
00:19:46,203 --> 00:19:48,205
is running for president?

435
00:19:49,166 --> 00:19:51,567
Well, the thing is,
I'm in a position

436
00:19:51,609 --> 00:19:55,131
to really know
what damage he will do--

437
00:19:55,173 --> 00:19:58,214
actually, I know what
his own conscious mind

438
00:19:58,256 --> 00:20:00,617
doesn't know yet about
what damage he will do.

439
00:20:00,659 --> 00:20:02,499
Of course.

440
00:20:02,541 --> 00:20:03,740
It's bad.

441
00:20:03,782 --> 00:20:05,702
For the country.
For the world.

442
00:20:05,744 --> 00:20:06,823
He needs to be stopped.

443
00:20:06,865 --> 00:20:07,984
And I'm one of the few people

444
00:20:08,026 --> 00:20:10,028
who can maybe do the stopping.

445
00:20:10,989 --> 00:20:11,988
But...

446
00:20:12,030 --> 00:20:13,590
to do so requires...

447
00:20:13,632 --> 00:20:16,153
Yeah. The very people
I've promised to help.

448
00:20:16,195 --> 00:20:19,196
And a few people
I've come to really like...

449
00:20:19,238 --> 00:20:21,400
are gonna pay a real price,

450
00:20:25,164 --> 00:20:27,286
Some of them
are my other patients.

451
00:20:28,288 --> 00:20:30,290
Yes.

452
00:20:32,772 --> 00:20:34,933
Then...
...for ethical reasons,

453
00:20:34,975 --> 00:20:36,977
we'll need to stop here.

454
00:20:39,659 --> 00:20:42,541
You asked me the questions
that brought us here.

455
00:20:42,583 --> 00:20:44,342
I mean, you practically
challenged me

456
00:20:44,384 --> 00:20:45,744
to sit here with you,

457
00:20:45,786 --> 00:20:47,185
and now you're
going to abandon me?

458
00:20:47,227 --> 00:20:49,067
You wrestling with
your ethical dilemma

459
00:20:49,109 --> 00:20:52,313
is not a reason for me
to create one of my own.

460
00:20:53,474 --> 00:20:55,915
I'm sorry,

461
00:20:55,957 --> 00:20:57,959
but this is the end
of our session.

462
00:21:17,819 --> 00:21:19,139
We found Kai Huang Liu's name

463
00:21:19,181 --> 00:21:20,540
on a private jet manifest.

464
00:21:20,582 --> 00:21:22,462
Shit. Did it take off?

465
00:21:22,504 --> 00:21:23,984
It did.

466
00:21:24,026 --> 00:21:26,106
And yet a slight
Russell Ziskey smile

467
00:21:26,148 --> 00:21:27,267
dances around your face,
Karl.

468
00:21:27,309 --> 00:21:29,910
Because I know
whose jet it is.

469
00:21:29,952 --> 00:21:32,233
And when you find out,
you, too,

470
00:21:32,275 --> 00:21:34,955
will get your Ziskey on.

471
00:21:34,997 --> 00:21:36,717
Ready for it.

472
00:21:36,759 --> 00:21:39,242
Kai Huang Liu is on
one of Michael Prince's jets.

473
00:21:40,323 --> 00:21:41,923
Prince lent our perp his plane?

474
00:21:41,965 --> 00:21:43,725
Accessory after the fact.

475
00:21:43,767 --> 00:21:45,847
-At least.
-Where's the plane now?

476
00:21:45,889 --> 00:21:47,048
Still in U.S. airspace,
but we can assume

477
00:21:47,090 --> 00:21:48,049
they're headed to Taipei.

478
00:21:48,091 --> 00:21:49,491
Don't assume. Find out.

479
00:21:49,533 --> 00:21:51,493
I've got a guy at the FAA.

480
00:21:51,535 --> 00:21:53,375
He can update us with
nav reports every half hour.

481
00:21:53,417 --> 00:21:55,297
Hm, not good enough.

482
00:21:55,339 --> 00:21:59,341
I have to know how far they can
get without needing to refuel.

483
00:21:59,383 --> 00:22:03,145
And background on the pilot.
Maybe he'll cooperate.

484
00:22:03,187 --> 00:22:05,267
Prince is gonna deny any
prior knowledge of wrongdoing.

485
00:22:05,309 --> 00:22:07,830
We'll worry about that
when we get the kid in custody.

486
00:22:07,872 --> 00:22:10,232
Prince has a federal fugitive
on his plane.

487
00:22:10,274 --> 00:22:12,515
We have him in violation
of 181071.

488
00:22:12,557 --> 00:22:14,757
First, let's indict Liu.

489
00:22:14,799 --> 00:22:16,719
Warrant's still in effect,
but we can't serve it

490
00:22:16,761 --> 00:22:18,361
when the perp
is 30,000 feet up.

491
00:22:18,403 --> 00:22:20,563
Can we scramble fighter jets
and bring them down?

492
00:22:20,605 --> 00:22:22,565
Whoa, Chuck.

493
00:22:22,607 --> 00:22:24,808
I know you mean
force the plane to land.

494
00:22:24,850 --> 00:22:26,852
Do I?

495
00:22:28,534 --> 00:22:31,417
Yes, for the record, I do.

496
00:22:34,900 --> 00:22:37,581
Okay, uh...

497
00:22:37,623 --> 00:22:39,063
Start by alerting the FAA

498
00:22:39,105 --> 00:22:40,704
we have a warrant
for Liu's arrest.

499
00:22:40,746 --> 00:22:42,907
They'll notify the pilot
of a mandatory return

500
00:22:42,949 --> 00:22:44,308
to his point of departure.

501
00:22:44,350 --> 00:22:46,470
I say wait until they land.

502
00:22:46,512 --> 00:22:49,313
Taiwan is highly cooperative
in extraditing to the U.S.

503
00:22:49,355 --> 00:22:52,877
They'll send him back, we'll
hold him in jail, pending trial.

504
00:22:52,919 --> 00:22:54,559
Put a lot of pressure
on everyone.

505
00:22:54,601 --> 00:22:56,601
I don't want to involve
international authorities.

506
00:22:56,643 --> 00:22:59,244
Opens political avenues
outside my control,

507
00:22:59,286 --> 00:23:02,047
gives Prince too much room
to insulate himself.

508
00:23:02,089 --> 00:23:03,648
Are you sure, sir?

509
00:23:03,690 --> 00:23:05,370
Once that plane
leaves our airspace,

510
00:23:05,412 --> 00:23:06,852
it expands the menu of charges
we can hit Prince with

511
00:23:06,894 --> 00:23:09,174
-from a hot-dog cart to Denny's.
-No.

512
00:23:09,216 --> 00:23:10,696
Let's not make this
too elaborate.

513
00:23:10,738 --> 00:23:12,137
Simple story is best.

514
00:23:12,179 --> 00:23:13,299
Okay.

515
00:23:13,341 --> 00:23:15,181
I guess I get that.

516
00:23:15,223 --> 00:23:16,542
My self-defence teacher
always says don't go

517
00:23:16,584 --> 00:23:18,024
for the back-spinning
heel kick

518
00:23:18,066 --> 00:23:20,068
when you can just
knee him in the sack.

519
00:23:21,109 --> 00:23:22,708
Quite so.

520
00:23:22,750 --> 00:23:24,550
You need to
ground your plane, Mike.

521
00:23:24,592 --> 00:23:25,712
FAA just reached out.

522
00:23:25,754 --> 00:23:27,033
Which one? And why?

523
00:23:27,075 --> 00:23:28,875
The Bombardier.

524
00:23:28,917 --> 00:23:30,477
who has the Bombardier
in the air right now?

525
00:23:30,519 --> 00:23:31,998
Mr. Liu's chief of staff called

526
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:33,440
and asked for
a flight to Taiwan.

527
00:23:33,482 --> 00:23:34,561
His plane had
a mechanical issue.

528
00:23:34,603 --> 00:23:36,122
We offered the courtesy.

529
00:23:36,164 --> 00:23:38,285
The courtesy? I mean,
my friends and I ask

530
00:23:38,327 --> 00:23:40,207
when we borrow
each other's cars.

531
00:23:40,249 --> 00:23:42,850
Mr. Liu pays for the gas
and crew when he uses it.

532
00:23:42,892 --> 00:23:45,172
We offer this to him
and a few others like him.

533
00:23:45,214 --> 00:23:46,573
He does the same for us.

534
00:23:46,615 --> 00:23:48,455
Well, that's the what, Kate.
The why?

535
00:23:48,497 --> 00:23:50,177
An arrest warrant was issued
for a passenger on board.

536
00:23:50,219 --> 00:23:52,179
Some kind of a federal offence.

537
00:23:52,221 --> 00:23:54,223
Scooter,
raise the pilot for me.

538
00:23:57,747 --> 00:23:59,387
<i>Yes, sir?</i>

539
00:23:59,429 --> 00:24:01,029
Who's in the air with you now?
How many?

540
00:24:01,071 --> 00:24:04,632
<i>Just one passenger.</i>
<i>Male. Liu. 22.</i>

541
00:24:04,674 --> 00:24:06,717
No, Kai's 50.

542
00:24:08,639 --> 00:24:10,118
It's the son.

543
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:11,880
His office said
it was for dad.

544
00:24:11,922 --> 00:24:13,642
Of course they did.

545
00:24:13,684 --> 00:24:14,883
He must have used the fact
that they have the same name

546
00:24:14,925 --> 00:24:16,927
as a workaround
on the manifest.

547
00:24:18,609 --> 00:24:19,648
Fuel status?

548
00:24:19,690 --> 00:24:21,410
<i>We're at 1900 gallons.</i>

549
00:24:21,452 --> 00:24:23,052
Nine more hours in the air.

550
00:24:23,094 --> 00:24:24,774
<i>Enough to get us to</i>
<i>the Aleutians to refuel.</i>

551
00:24:24,816 --> 00:24:27,016
No, not anymore. Kill
the in-flight monitors first.

552
00:24:27,058 --> 00:24:28,457
Then I want you to fly a loop.

553
00:24:28,499 --> 00:24:29,819
A big one he can hardly feel.

554
00:24:29,861 --> 00:24:31,541
No, no,
don't instruct them to--

555
00:24:31,583 --> 00:24:32,982
You can't, Mike.

556
00:24:33,024 --> 00:24:33,983
Stay within US borders,
continental,

557
00:24:34,025 --> 00:24:35,745
and keep a clear
margin.

558
00:24:35,787 --> 00:24:37,187
I want you to hold that pattern
until I can figure out

559
00:24:37,229 --> 00:24:38,788
what the frick
is really happening here.

560
00:24:38,830 --> 00:24:40,030
Don't talk to anyone else.

561
00:24:40,072 --> 00:24:42,074
All orders will be direct.

562
00:24:46,839 --> 00:24:49,119
This is Chuck coming after me.

563
00:24:49,161 --> 00:24:51,844
They seem to be keeping
the plane in the air.

564
00:24:53,446 --> 00:24:55,606
Pull in
our contact at the FAA,

565
00:24:55,648 --> 00:24:58,449
get transcripts of all
communication between the pilot

566
00:24:58,491 --> 00:25:00,491
and air traffic,
maybe we can learn something.

567
00:25:00,533 --> 00:25:03,895
By not immediately ordering
his plane to land,

568
00:25:03,937 --> 00:25:05,897
Prince just ticked off
two of the three criteria

569
00:25:05,939 --> 00:25:07,739
for the federal crime
of aiding a fugitive.

570
00:25:07,781 --> 00:25:09,140
Mm-hmm.

571
00:25:09,182 --> 00:25:10,942
Defendant's actions
were intended to prevent

572
00:25:10,984 --> 00:25:12,824
the fugitive's discovery;
and the defendant committed

573
00:25:12,866 --> 00:25:14,706
one or more physical acts--
phone call counts--

574
00:25:14,748 --> 00:25:18,630
to help the fugitive
avoid arrest.

575
00:25:18,672 --> 00:25:20,432
It's close to enough
to indict Prince already.

576
00:25:20,474 --> 00:25:22,434
All right.
Officially indict the kid.

577
00:25:22,476 --> 00:25:26,038
Then, yeah, begin preparing
charges against Prince.

578
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,162
And do it Cannonball Adderley
style--with tempo.

579
00:25:30,204 --> 00:25:32,484
This is a diplomatic
and P.R. disaster.

580
00:25:32,526 --> 00:25:35,087
No, this is a prosecutor
harassing a private citizen.

581
00:25:35,129 --> 00:25:36,929
I am all for fighting,
but once the FAA,

582
00:25:36,971 --> 00:25:39,091
operating on instructions
from the Department of Justice,

583
00:25:39,133 --> 00:25:41,854
orders a plane down,
plane needs to come down.

584
00:25:41,896 --> 00:25:43,296
Then we can defend our position.

585
00:25:43,338 --> 00:25:45,018
If the order is
legitimate to begin with.

586
00:25:45,060 --> 00:25:48,341
Yes. But first, the order
needs to be obeyed.

587
00:25:48,383 --> 00:25:51,504
Aiding a fugitive. That's
what they'll whack you with.

588
00:25:51,546 --> 00:25:53,146
I just lent out my plane.

589
00:25:53,188 --> 00:25:55,190
And it was borrowed
under false pretences.

590
00:25:56,311 --> 00:25:57,711
If it doesn't stick in court,

591
00:25:57,753 --> 00:25:59,793
it will in the papers.
Like pine tar.

592
00:25:59,835 --> 00:26:02,196
Might stick in court, too.

593
00:26:02,238 --> 00:26:04,318
Let's get the plane to ground,

594
00:26:04,360 --> 00:26:06,040
hand over the kid.
Simple as it gets.

595
00:26:06,082 --> 00:26:07,441
Nothing's ever that simple.

596
00:26:07,483 --> 00:26:09,363
Mike and Liu are not just
"in business."

597
00:26:09,405 --> 00:26:11,005
They've made
billions together,

598
00:26:11,047 --> 00:26:12,887
with agreements that will
make billions more.

599
00:26:12,929 --> 00:26:15,249
Plus, we're friends.
Trading partners.

600
00:26:15,291 --> 00:26:17,492
And if I hose my trading partner
in the way you're suggesting,

601
00:26:17,534 --> 00:26:19,974
no one will ever want to do
business with me again.

602
00:26:20,016 --> 00:26:21,936
Also, it won't look good
to the business types

603
00:26:21,978 --> 00:26:23,418
whose votes we're courting.

604
00:26:23,460 --> 00:26:24,939
Well, this is a big, hairy

605
00:26:24,981 --> 00:26:26,661
ball-aching problem.

606
00:26:26,703 --> 00:26:28,543
Is that an official
political term?

607
00:26:28,585 --> 00:26:31,186
Paints a more vivid picture
than "international incident."

608
00:26:33,150 --> 00:26:36,351
I'm in the process of taking
over the national stage,

609
00:26:36,393 --> 00:26:38,674
and while I didn't get here
by folding to the first flunky

610
00:26:38,716 --> 00:26:40,356
that gave me an order,

611
00:26:40,398 --> 00:26:42,358
I suppose I can try to work
within the parameters.

612
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,840
Kate, can you get somewhere
with Chuck directly?

613
00:26:44,882 --> 00:26:46,642
Go to him as though
we're complying,

614
00:26:46,684 --> 00:26:48,805
see if there's any way
we can get the focus off of us.

615
00:26:48,847 --> 00:26:50,686
Eh, worth a shot.

616
00:26:50,728 --> 00:26:53,131
I'll at least get our point
of view on the record with him.

617
00:26:56,054 --> 00:26:58,855
Still no official category
designation as of now

618
00:26:58,897 --> 00:27:00,737
but at this point,
all signs are pointing

619
00:27:00,779 --> 00:27:02,379
to a Category Five.

620
00:27:02,421 --> 00:27:03,500
So, we're all just gonna
sit here and watch

621
00:27:03,542 --> 00:27:05,462
our comp plummet
by a third?

622
00:27:05,504 --> 00:27:07,744
Yeah, if it's rated Cat Five,
it's gonna be worse than that.

623
00:27:07,786 --> 00:27:10,868
Southern Property & Casualty's
about to make us her bitch.

624
00:27:10,910 --> 00:27:12,910
Last Cat Five was years ago.

625
00:27:12,952 --> 00:27:14,912
They may not wanna
scare the public.

626
00:27:14,954 --> 00:27:16,674
They don't get to decide.

627
00:27:16,716 --> 00:27:18,235
They just report what it is.

628
00:27:18,277 --> 00:27:20,798
Winds were up
to 172 miles per hour.

629
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,481
Rating's empirical.
As you just said,

630
00:27:23,523 --> 00:27:25,323
this quarter's screwed.

631
00:27:25,365 --> 00:27:28,006
Maybe the whole year.

632

00:27:39,940 --> 00:27:42,941
<i>Rosie is officially designated</i>
<i>a Category Four hurricane,</i>

639
00:27:42,983 --> 00:27:44,863
<i>not a Category Five</i>
<i>as projected.</i>

640
00:27:46,547 --> 00:27:47,626
<i>And once storms hit land,</i>
<i>they weaken.</i>

641
00:27:47,668 --> 00:27:49,068
This thing is staying at 4.

642
00:27:49,110 --> 00:27:50,990
<i>Madonn',</i> that was close.

643
00:27:53,394 --> 00:27:55,074
I almost had a panic attack.

644
00:27:55,116 --> 00:27:56,556
I thought I heard wheezing.

645
00:27:56,598 --> 00:27:58,237
Pay up, DB!

646
00:27:58,279 --> 00:28:00,760
That's ten Gs from you to me.

647
00:28:00,802 --> 00:28:02,804
You don't have Zelle
on push notifications?

648
00:28:04,606 --> 00:28:06,806
Check your account.
It's already there.

649
00:28:06,848 --> 00:28:08,168
Nice. Thanks, Bill.

650
00:28:08,210 --> 00:28:10,971
Don't-- Don't thank me.

651
00:28:11,013 --> 00:28:13,173
You won a bet.

652
00:28:13,215 --> 00:28:14,935
Only time I've ever
been happy to lose one.

653
00:28:14,977 --> 00:28:17,618
You got off cheap.
We all did.

654
00:28:17,660 --> 00:28:20,340
Don't wanna think about if the
Cat score went the other way.

655
00:28:20,382 --> 00:28:22,783
Prayers up to Thor, Zeus,

656
00:28:22,825 --> 00:28:24,705
and of course, Oh Mighty Isis:

657
00:28:24,747 --> 00:28:28,109
Thank you for getting
Southern Property & Casualty

658
00:28:28,151 --> 00:28:29,710
off the hook.

659
00:28:29,752 --> 00:28:31,915
Is that who you're
chalking it up to?

660
00:28:33,276 --> 00:28:35,236
Huh. Fascinating.

661
00:28:45,729 --> 00:28:47,731
You knew.

662
00:28:48,132 --> 00:28:50,132
I know many things.

663
00:28:50,174 --> 00:28:51,974
The delicate smell of
a Manzanilla sherry

664
00:28:52,016 --> 00:28:53,335
cask whiskey.

665
00:28:53,377 --> 00:28:55,898
What a point-six
waist to hip ratio

666
00:28:55,940 --> 00:28:58,060
looks like from
fifteen yards away.

667
00:28:58,102 --> 00:29:01,704
The exact years Susan Anton
was partial to moustaches.

668
00:29:01,746 --> 00:29:03,386
"Ass end of it," you said.

669
00:29:03,428 --> 00:29:05,788
And our catastrophe bonds
are now suddenly safe.

670
00:29:05,830 --> 00:29:08,231
Like that warden
in <i>Shawshank</i> said,

671
00:29:08,273 --> 00:29:10,233
"It's a miracle.
Praise the Lord."

672
00:29:10,275 --> 00:29:11,674
Only he said it sarcastically

673
00:29:11,716 --> 00:29:13,196
because he knew
it was no miracle

674
00:29:13,238 --> 00:29:14,918
the prisoner had
disappeared from his cell.

675
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:16,800
That it was a secret,
calculated effort.

676
00:29:16,842 --> 00:29:20,724
Andy Dufresne's escape
was a meticulously planned,

677
00:29:20,766 --> 00:29:24,770
very-difficult-to-work-out,
very smart operation.

678
00:29:26,652 --> 00:29:28,812
How did you know?

679
00:29:28,854 --> 00:29:30,534
I saw the issue coming,

680
00:29:30,576 --> 00:29:33,297
so I took steps as I saw fit

681
00:29:33,339 --> 00:29:35,099
for the benefit
of the enterprise.

682
00:29:35,141 --> 00:29:36,701
What steps could
possibly change

683
00:29:36,743 --> 00:29:37,942
the climatological reality

684
00:29:37,984 --> 00:29:39,986
of an in-process
hurricane?

685
00:29:42,629 --> 00:29:43,908
It's all in your core.

686
00:29:43,950 --> 00:29:45,630
-All right, just keep...
-All right, bye.

687
00:29:45,672 --> 00:29:47,472
Hey, babe!

688
00:29:47,514 --> 00:29:49,354
You never visit me at the gym.

689
00:29:49,396 --> 00:29:50,996
Never even go to the gym.

690
00:29:51,038 --> 00:29:53,038
I missed you so much
I had to come to this

691
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,720
godforsaken land of musk
and grotesque effort

692
00:29:55,762 --> 00:29:57,765
to see you.

693
00:29:58,846 --> 00:30:00,485
Whoa, that's Roker!

694
00:30:00,527 --> 00:30:01,847
Yeah, that was great, man.

695
00:30:01,889 --> 00:30:03,569
-Mr. Roker.
-Yeah.

696
00:30:03,611 --> 00:30:05,491
I had forgotten you shared
this hour with Chelz.

697
00:30:05,533 --> 00:30:07,573
-It's good to see you.
-Good to see you, Wagster.

698
00:30:07,615 --> 00:30:08,894
You want to work in?

699
00:30:08,936 --> 00:30:10,256
No, I never sweat
before bedtime.

700
00:30:10,298 --> 00:30:11,897
Look, Al, I need you

701
00:30:11,939 --> 00:30:14,660
to enlighten me
on all things hurricane.

702
00:30:14,702 --> 00:30:15,862
Okay, hit me.

703
00:30:15,904 --> 00:30:18,144
How exactly do they get rated?

704
00:30:18,186 --> 00:30:21,067
Wags, this is
a multi-agency process.

705
00:30:21,109 --> 00:30:22,629
You've got
the National Weather Service,

706
00:30:22,671 --> 00:30:24,591
you've got
the National Oceanic

707
00:30:24,633 --> 00:30:27,394
and Atmospheric Administration,
you've even got the Air Force!

708
00:30:27,436 --> 00:30:30,036
They fly these special planes
called Hurricane Hunters,

709
00:30:30,078 --> 00:30:31,598
right into the storm.

710
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:33,200
They take real-time data,

711
00:30:33,242 --> 00:30:35,402
relay it back to
the National Hurricane Center.

712
00:30:35,444 --> 00:30:37,204
It's there,
they crunch the numbers

713
00:30:37,246 --> 00:30:39,326
and come up with
a hurricane's category.

714
00:30:39,368 --> 00:30:41,929
So, it's a person
who makes the actual call.

715
00:30:41,971 --> 00:30:43,973
Exactly.

716
00:30:44,974 --> 00:30:46,374
Fantastic.

717
00:30:46,416 --> 00:30:48,175
See?

718
00:30:48,217 --> 00:30:50,898
While science may be empirical,

719
00:30:50,940 --> 00:30:52,700
bureaucracy is not.

720
00:30:52,742 --> 00:30:55,583
And anywhere
human error is in effect,

721
00:30:55,625 --> 00:30:57,385
well, that's where I get busy.

722
00:30:57,427 --> 00:30:59,387
You paid off
the hurricane grader.

723
00:30:59,429 --> 00:31:00,709
She's a woman of science,

724
00:31:00,751 --> 00:31:02,190
who happens to be set up with

725
00:31:02,232 --> 00:31:03,672
quite a charitable
research grant

726
00:31:03,714 --> 00:31:05,033
when she retires next year.

727
00:31:05,075 --> 00:31:08,839
Get him now!

728
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,123
Now!

729
00:31:15,006 --> 00:31:16,245
He wants to see you.

730
00:31:16,287 --> 00:31:18,329
Now, I'm guessing?

731
00:31:20,491 --> 00:31:22,331
If I asked you to guess
at what my priorities are,

732
00:31:22,373 --> 00:31:23,573
how would
you enumerate them?

733
00:31:23,615 --> 00:31:25,294
Your daughters first.
Then--

734
00:31:25,336 --> 00:31:26,856
Don't muck around.
Besides family.

735
00:31:26,898 --> 00:31:28,898
You want me to say
the presidency.

736
00:31:28,940 --> 00:31:30,580
I'm already fighting
my butt off

737
00:31:30,622 --> 00:31:33,063
so some BS aviation scandal
doesn't knock me out.

738
00:31:33,105 --> 00:31:34,704
I never thought the bigger
threat would come from--

739
00:31:34,746 --> 00:31:36,586
Inside the house. Sure.
Not what's happening.

740
00:31:36,628 --> 00:31:38,348
Do you think before you act?

741
00:31:38,390 --> 00:31:40,030
Are you capable of that?

742
00:31:40,072 --> 00:31:41,952
Depends what's in my system.
But usually, yes.

743
00:31:41,994 --> 00:31:45,315
Wrong answer. Impulsivity
would at least be an excuse.

744
00:31:45,357 --> 00:31:46,797
Okay. Let's go with that, then.

745
00:31:46,839 --> 00:31:50,040
But let's stipulate that
my mélange of foresight

746
00:31:50,082 --> 00:31:51,722
and impulsivity is precisely why

747
00:31:51,764 --> 00:31:54,045
I am bespoke for my role here.

748
00:31:54,087 --> 00:31:56,127
I think fast, act faster.

749
00:31:56,169 --> 00:31:58,770
You don't get a special pass
for being who you are.

750
00:31:58,812 --> 00:32:00,852
This isn't like extra time
on your ACT.

751
00:32:00,894 --> 00:32:02,654
I took the SAT like a real man.

752
00:32:02,696 --> 00:32:03,975
I didn't need to make excuses

753
00:32:04,017 --> 00:32:05,216
for myself then,
and I won't now.

754
00:32:05,258 --> 00:32:07,379
Wags, change gears.

755
00:32:07,421 --> 00:32:09,421
They feel there's reason
to fire you for cause.

756
00:32:09,463 --> 00:32:10,742
He's going to fire me
for single-handedly

757
00:32:10,784 --> 00:32:12,144
saving him from losing

758
00:32:12,186 --> 00:32:14,866
the gross domestic product
of Bhutan?

759
00:32:14,908 --> 00:32:16,548
No, because you only had
enough theory of mind

760
00:32:16,590 --> 00:32:19,551
to consider one
small facet of the issue.

761
00:32:19,593 --> 00:32:22,434
It doesn't take a Kasparov
to see the problem you caused.

762
00:32:22,476 --> 00:32:24,316
Thousands of people's homes
just got blown away.

763
00:32:24,358 --> 00:32:26,398
Southern Casualty is up
to its neck in claims,

764
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,240
and Mike's bonds are pristine.

765
00:32:28,282 --> 00:32:30,002
The press will paint him
as a Wall Street scammer

766
00:32:30,044 --> 00:32:33,085
who protected his money at
the expense of citizens in need.

767
00:32:33,127 --> 00:32:36,489
If anyone finds out what you've
done, my run is G.D. over!

768
00:32:36,531 --> 00:32:37,971
But if those bonds
were triggered,

769
00:32:38,013 --> 00:32:40,213
it would have reduced
the floor and fund

770
00:32:40,255 --> 00:32:42,015
to stringy, bloody carnage.

771
00:32:42,057 --> 00:32:44,858
We were facing an Act of God.
I responded in kind!

772
00:32:44,900 --> 00:32:46,460
You think you're a god,

773
00:32:46,502 --> 00:32:47,861
but you caused
a domestic crisis

774
00:32:47,903 --> 00:32:49,543
on top of our
international crisis

775
00:32:49,585 --> 00:32:51,265
and upcoming cultural crisis.

776
00:32:51,307 --> 00:32:53,227
You're a fucking liability.

777
00:32:53,269 --> 00:32:55,469
Thus spoke the politician.

778
00:32:55,511 --> 00:32:57,071
But I'm a businessman!

779
00:32:57,113 --> 00:32:58,512
Money is politics.
Especially mine.

780
00:32:58,554 --> 00:33:00,114
You work for both now.

781
00:33:00,156 --> 00:33:01,715
Then I should have
been told what the shot was.

782
00:33:01,757 --> 00:33:04,000
You shouldn't have to be told.

783
00:33:06,402 --> 00:33:09,043
What's bad for the campaign
is bad for MPC.

784
00:33:09,085 --> 00:33:11,566
And me.
Hurting one hurts all.

785
00:33:11,608 --> 00:33:14,529
Okay.

786
00:33:14,571 --> 00:33:17,052
it's true that now,
by the light of day,

787
00:33:17,094 --> 00:33:19,734
I get that there might
have been a corner or two

788
00:33:19,776 --> 00:33:21,778
I didn't see completely around.

789
00:33:23,260 --> 00:33:25,100
Good. I think we can all agree

790
00:33:25,142 --> 00:33:27,745
that accepting blame for this
and growing from it is change.

791
00:33:28,826 --> 00:33:30,828
That's good for everyone.

792
00:33:35,833 --> 00:33:38,076
Yes. No doubt.

793
00:33:39,077 --> 00:33:41,079
My bad.

794
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,562
I know you know
I was trying to help.

795
00:33:46,524 --> 00:33:48,725
I suppose I actually do.

796
00:33:48,767 --> 00:33:50,769
We all do.

797
00:33:51,610 --> 00:33:54,132
Good. And now I will
get back to it.

798
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,520
You know, I was just wondering
why you had them call me

799
00:34:22,562 --> 00:34:23,962
to ground the plane
instead of having

800
00:34:24,004 --> 00:34:25,363
the FAA call
the pilot direct.

801
00:34:25,405 --> 00:34:27,245
Well, I was doing you
the courtesy,

802
00:34:27,287 --> 00:34:29,007
before making an incident
out of it.

803
00:34:29,049 --> 00:34:30,649
No, you knew you could
embarrass Prince

804
00:34:30,691 --> 00:34:32,210
just by having
his plane turn around.

805
00:34:32,252 --> 00:34:33,692
But instead,
you took the bigger shot,

806
00:34:33,734 --> 00:34:35,173
hoping that
he'd defy your order--

807
00:34:35,215 --> 00:34:36,975
that Prince himself would.
But...

808
00:34:37,017 --> 00:34:39,618
'Course, Prince would never defy
an order like that.

809
00:34:39,660 --> 00:34:41,620
Yet the plane still flies.

810
00:34:41,662 --> 00:34:43,903
Just a holding pattern.

811
00:34:43,945 --> 00:34:45,905
There's a hurricane ripping
through the Eastern Seaboard,

812
00:34:45,947 --> 00:34:48,347
in case you hadn't noticed.
Flight paths are a mess,

813
00:34:48,389 --> 00:34:49,909
which is why he merely
instructed the pilot

814
00:34:49,951 --> 00:34:51,991
to stay in the air
until it was safe...

815
00:34:52,033 --> 00:34:54,035
to return.

816
00:34:55,997 --> 00:34:57,999
Follow me, Ms. Sacker.

817
00:34:59,841 --> 00:35:01,843
Come on.

818
00:35:07,409 --> 00:35:09,209
Ira, where are we
with the charges?

819
00:35:09,251 --> 00:35:10,731
Full steam ahead.

820
00:35:10,773 --> 00:35:12,212
Preconditions for the crimes
have been met.

821
00:35:12,254 --> 00:35:13,814
No, you didn't walk me
in here for this.

822
00:35:13,856 --> 00:35:15,858
You walked me
in here to see that.

823
00:35:18,020 --> 00:35:20,381
I could say I'd
forgotten it was up.

824
00:35:20,423 --> 00:35:21,822
Chuck.

825
00:35:21,864 --> 00:35:23,544
You used to run
a tight enough office

826
00:35:23,586 --> 00:35:24,986
that your murder boards
were covered when visitors

827
00:35:25,028 --> 00:35:26,147
were anywhere in the building.

828
00:35:26,189 --> 00:35:27,749
I run a transparent shop now.

829
00:35:27,791 --> 00:35:30,151
-So, no need.
-Hm.

830
00:35:30,193 --> 00:35:31,713
Did you want me
to walk you through

831
00:35:31,755 --> 00:35:33,395
why every one of these
leads on Mike Prince

832
00:35:33,437 --> 00:35:35,437
-is a dead end, or...?
-Nah, save us both the time.

833
00:35:35,479 --> 00:35:37,399
What you need to know is this:

834
00:35:37,441 --> 00:35:39,761
we're not merely watching
and waiting to pounce.

835
00:35:39,803 --> 00:35:41,443
We're gonna tell you
what we're gonna do,

836
00:35:41,485 --> 00:35:42,844
and then we're gonna do it.

837
00:35:42,886 --> 00:35:45,127
No stealth needed,
especially in this case,

838
00:35:45,169 --> 00:35:47,329
because Kai Huang Liu
is a fugitive.

839
00:35:47,371 --> 00:35:50,012
And he's on your guy's plane
instead of in my custody

840
00:35:50,054 --> 00:35:51,814
because he's
a billionaire's buddy.

841
00:35:51,856 --> 00:35:54,697
Hm. You can't arrest people
for having family friends.

842
00:35:54,739 --> 00:35:56,939
If you could, your father's
connections would've had you

843
00:35:56,981 --> 00:35:59,182
locked up before
your career even started.

844
00:35:59,224 --> 00:36:01,784
Enjoying the privilege of
our fathers is something you,

845
00:36:01,826 --> 00:36:04,467
I, and Liu the younger
all share.

846
00:36:04,509 --> 00:36:06,790
What sets us apart from him

847
00:36:06,832 --> 00:36:09,432
is we haven't committed
crimes under the assumption

848
00:36:09,474 --> 00:36:10,794
that our father's
wealthy cronies

849
00:36:10,836 --> 00:36:12,838
are gonna help us
get away with it.

850
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:16,600
No jury's gonna be
sympathetic to a rich kid

851
00:36:16,642 --> 00:36:19,323
pulling an NFT scam,
not these days.

852
00:36:19,365 --> 00:36:21,845
Neither will they be
sympathetic to Prince

853
00:36:21,887 --> 00:36:24,889
colluding to help that
progeny avoid justice.

854
00:36:24,931 --> 00:36:27,491
Except no jury's ever
gonna hear this case

855
00:36:27,533 --> 00:36:30,214
because you can't prove that
my client had prior knowledge

856
00:36:30,256 --> 00:36:32,937
of Mr. Liu's wrongdoing,
because he had none.

857
00:36:32,979 --> 00:36:35,700
Let alone prove that Prince knew
of your perp's intent to flee,

858
00:36:35,742 --> 00:36:37,261
because he didn't.

859
00:36:37,303 --> 00:36:40,865
You spin faster than
a Barry Zito curveball,

860
00:36:40,907 --> 00:36:43,428
but that won't matter
once we get Liu back.

861
00:36:43,470 --> 00:36:45,830
I don't need to.
I have unassailable evidence:

862
00:36:45,872 --> 00:36:47,953
A decade of my client
and Liu Senior

863
00:36:47,995 --> 00:36:49,594
borrowing each other's
planes as needed

864
00:36:49,636 --> 00:36:51,196
without direct prior contact,

865
00:36:51,238 --> 00:36:53,639
and Prince's complete phone
and email records

866
00:36:53,681 --> 00:36:55,401
from the last 48 hours

867
00:36:55,443 --> 00:36:57,683
proving he had no knowledge of
the incident before it occurred,

868
00:36:57,725 --> 00:36:59,485
all of which we will
provide voluntarily.

869
00:36:59,527 --> 00:37:01,327
No subpoena necessary.

870
00:37:01,369 --> 00:37:03,008
Hm.

871
00:37:03,050 --> 00:37:04,850
So, what are you offering?

872
00:37:04,892 --> 00:37:07,934
Nothing. Prince will either
land that jet now,

873
00:37:07,976 --> 00:37:09,615
or he will go down

874
00:37:09,657 --> 00:37:12,458
like the Rosenbergs
in the press.

875
00:37:12,500 --> 00:37:13,940
Or as Aldrich Ames,
for anybody

876
00:37:13,982 --> 00:37:16,302
who can't remember
the Rosenbergs.

877
00:37:16,344 --> 00:37:18,385
And for those who can't
remember Aldrich Ames?

878
00:37:18,427 --> 00:37:20,066
As a fucking traitor.

879
00:37:20,108 --> 00:37:21,988
Oh, you're right,
you are transparent now.

880
00:37:22,030 --> 00:37:23,510
Go run back and tell him.

881
00:37:23,552 --> 00:37:25,032
Let me know what he says.

882
00:37:25,074 --> 00:37:27,076
Unless he has the gristle
to face me himself.

883
00:37:46,376 --> 00:37:48,977
Lot of good feeling down there
about the hurricane situation,

884
00:37:49,019 --> 00:37:52,380
though I imagine it
played differently up here.

885
00:37:52,422 --> 00:37:54,022
Of course you do.

886
00:37:54,064 --> 00:37:56,104
I remember your mother
telling me that you taught

887
00:37:56,146 --> 00:37:59,187
the members of your chess club
how to play poker

888
00:37:59,229 --> 00:38:00,589
in, what, sixth grade?

889
00:38:00,631 --> 00:38:02,271
So that by the time
they were in high school

890
00:38:02,313 --> 00:38:03,632
and had some spending money,

891
00:38:03,674 --> 00:38:05,634
they'd be ready
to lose it to you.

892
00:38:05,676 --> 00:38:08,117
Sometimes you see the way
a game should be played.

893
00:38:08,159 --> 00:38:10,679
And the B-side to that is by
the time I was in 11th grade,

894
00:38:10,721 --> 00:38:12,481
I'd decided to save
the money I'd won

895
00:38:12,523 --> 00:38:14,083
and throw them all a party--
all of us--

896
00:38:14,125 --> 00:38:15,605
at the end of senior year

897
00:38:15,647 --> 00:38:17,487
because I felt bad
about taking the money.

898
00:38:17,529 --> 00:38:19,409
Because you wanted them to know
that you could have kept it

899
00:38:19,451 --> 00:38:22,892
but chose to give it back
in high style.

900
00:38:22,934 --> 00:38:26,016
No surprise you understand both
sides of the insurance problem.

901
00:38:26,058 --> 00:38:28,658
But I came up here
for a different reason.

902
00:38:28,700 --> 00:38:30,740
To tell you that
you are doing something

903
00:38:30,782 --> 00:38:32,785
that I did not see coming.

904
00:38:33,706 --> 00:38:35,986
Conducting, man!

905
00:38:36,028 --> 00:38:38,108
I'm so psyched about it.
I told Mom.

906
00:38:38,150 --> 00:38:40,631
She told the rest of the fam.
They're all gonna come.

907
00:38:40,673 --> 00:38:42,633
I'm flying 'em in.

908
00:38:42,675 --> 00:38:44,515
I'll defray the cost of that.

909
00:38:44,557 --> 00:38:47,078
No way. I want to do it.

910
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:48,879
Since Prince already
gave you the baton,

911
00:38:48,921 --> 00:38:49,961
let me make this gift to you.

912
00:38:50,003 --> 00:38:52,005
Man, that baton.

913
00:38:53,246 --> 00:38:55,248
Such a moving gesture.

914
00:39:06,500 --> 00:39:11,263
But also-- and I can only
admit this to family--

915
00:39:11,305 --> 00:39:13,786
my throat went dry
when I saw it.

916
00:39:13,828 --> 00:39:15,628
-My palms were slick.
-That's good.

917
00:39:15,670 --> 00:39:17,672
When was the last time
you were nervous?

918
00:39:19,313 --> 00:39:22,915
Been a long time since something
mattered this much to me.

919
00:39:22,957 --> 00:39:24,397
And to me alone.

920
00:39:24,439 --> 00:39:27,840
I figured. And I'm
happy about it for you.

921
00:39:27,882 --> 00:39:29,562
Yeah.

922
00:39:29,604 --> 00:39:31,606
I am, too.

923
00:39:44,540 --> 00:39:46,542
You see this shit?

924
00:39:48,624 --> 00:39:51,025
If you don't know this is
a disaster, you need lessons.

925
00:39:51,067 --> 00:39:53,507
Everything with you people
is a disaster.

926
00:39:53,549 --> 00:39:55,389
Or a make-or-break moment.

927
00:39:55,431 --> 00:39:59,195
Just lumping me in with every
other politico like that, huh?

928
00:40:00,436 --> 00:40:02,036
What distinguishes you?

929
00:40:02,078 --> 00:40:04,078
There's a question
you should have asked before

930
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:05,880
just deciding
where to classify me.

931
00:40:05,922 --> 00:40:08,042
I would think before you
therapies someone,

932
00:40:08,084 --> 00:40:09,924
you do an intake, right?

933
00:40:09,966 --> 00:40:12,047
Well, that's also what human
beings do when we meet someone,

934
00:40:12,089 --> 00:40:14,091
so we see them beyond
just their profession.

935
00:40:15,172 --> 00:40:17,212
Do your job.

936
00:40:17,254 --> 00:40:19,975
see Prince through the Taiwan
thing and the hurricane mess.

937
00:40:20,017 --> 00:40:23,459
Then, if you're still here,

938
00:40:23,501 --> 00:40:25,503
maybe I'll take the time.

939
00:40:39,277 --> 00:40:40,597
I-I don't want to
sit in that chair

940
00:40:40,639 --> 00:40:41,958
only to have to leave again

941
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:43,079
before we get anything done.

942
00:40:43,121 --> 00:40:44,761
I came because you texted.

943
00:40:44,803 --> 00:40:46,122
Out of respect.

944
00:40:46,164 --> 00:40:48,407
And maybe to formally
say goodbye.

945
00:40:51,490 --> 00:40:53,492
I understand.

946
00:40:54,733 --> 00:40:57,094
You know,
if you asked me to tell you

947
00:40:57,136 --> 00:40:59,617
the most challenging
work of my career,

948
00:40:59,659 --> 00:41:03,180
it might have been when I was
treating an Army chaplain.

949
00:41:03,222 --> 00:41:05,583
This man counselled officers

950
00:41:05,625 --> 00:41:08,706
who sent men to die in battle.

951
00:41:08,748 --> 00:41:12,070
His work centred around
removing their guilt.

952
00:41:12,112 --> 00:41:16,674
And as a result,
he took it all on himself.

953
00:41:16,716 --> 00:41:21,359
And he had found that
his prayers and devotion

954
00:41:21,401 --> 00:41:23,802
were no longer alleviating it.

955
00:41:23,844 --> 00:41:27,686
You were able to release him
from that burden?

956
00:41:27,728 --> 00:41:31,530
After five sessions with me,

957
00:41:31,572 --> 00:41:33,892
he quit the Army and the Church.

958
00:41:33,934 --> 00:41:35,534
He became a woodworker.

959
00:41:35,576 --> 00:41:39,458
Because he and I agreed
that in his case,

960
00:41:39,500 --> 00:41:41,581
he wasn't really needed.

961
00:41:41,623 --> 00:41:44,784
There were people
who could fill that role

962
00:41:44,826 --> 00:41:48,708
more effectively
than he at that time.

963
00:41:48,750 --> 00:41:53,473
True believers
who didn't harbour doubts.

964
00:41:53,515 --> 00:41:56,716
So, you think someone else can
stop what I'm trying to stop?

965
00:41:56,758 --> 00:41:58,761
No.

966
00:41:59,521 --> 00:42:01,441
But I do think
there are plenty of good,

967
00:42:01,483 --> 00:42:03,323
well-trained psychiatrists

968
00:42:03,365 --> 00:42:06,288
who can help your colleagues in
the way I was helping them.

969
00:42:07,810 --> 00:42:09,770
So, I have referred them out.

970
00:42:09,812 --> 00:42:11,814
Each and every one.

971
00:42:14,177 --> 00:42:15,576
And now...

972
00:42:15,618 --> 00:42:17,979
there is no conflict in doing

973
00:42:18,021 --> 00:42:21,224
this vitally important
work with you.

974
00:42:26,510 --> 00:42:28,350
Thank you.

975
00:42:28,392 --> 00:42:30,994
I understand the enormity
of that decision.

976
00:42:35,479 --> 00:42:37,039
They're going to lose
a lot seeing someone

977
00:42:37,081 --> 00:42:39,601
other than you.

978
00:42:39,643 --> 00:42:42,687
Won't they lose more
if I don't help you succeed?

979
00:42:48,092 --> 00:42:51,614
It's clear that you
are a rational being

980
00:42:51,656 --> 00:42:54,137
and that what you have
determined about Prince

981
00:42:54,179 --> 00:42:56,581
is quite likely the truth.

982
00:42:58,904 --> 00:43:02,786
So, I will help you find a path

983
00:43:02,828 --> 00:43:05,751
to doing what you must.

984
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:18,004
And yet, all day,
I have felt culpable...

985
00:43:20,206 --> 00:43:21,846
out of sorts.

986
00:43:21,888 --> 00:43:23,327
Anxious, even.

987
00:43:23,369 --> 00:43:27,091
Oh. That's normal
in the circumstances.

988
00:43:27,133 --> 00:43:29,854
Not for me.
I don't get anxious.

989
00:43:29,896 --> 00:43:31,175
When I played college soccer,

990
00:43:31,217 --> 00:43:33,057
I was first up
for penalty kicks in OT.

991
00:43:33,099 --> 00:43:37,502
Because you were willing to
risk failure to help the team.

992
00:43:37,544 --> 00:43:40,826
You were bonded with your team.

993
00:43:40,868 --> 00:43:44,549
Here, your team
is going to get hurt,

994
00:43:44,591 --> 00:43:47,312
financially and in other ways,

995
00:43:47,354 --> 00:43:51,997
as you try to serve
the broader interest.

996
00:43:52,039 --> 00:43:54,202
That's true, yes.

997
00:43:57,205 --> 00:44:00,206
But beyond the team, there's
one person in particular

998
00:44:00,248 --> 00:44:02,769
who's gonna be
collateral damage.

999
00:44:02,811 --> 00:44:04,490
He was never
a patient of yours.

1000
00:44:04,532 --> 00:44:07,694
He's the guy Prince brought in
to run the campaign.

1001
00:44:07,736 --> 00:44:09,738
I like him.

1002
00:44:10,739 --> 00:44:13,099
He's smart and...

1003
00:44:13,141 --> 00:44:15,302
committed and engaged
and...

1004
00:44:15,344 --> 00:44:18,185
on the kind of upward trajectory
few people ever have.

1005
00:44:18,227 --> 00:44:20,229
If it weren't for me.

1006
00:44:23,112 --> 00:44:26,916
Your face gets a little flushed
as you talk about him.

1007
00:44:28,598 --> 00:44:30,600
I believe you.

1008
00:44:32,682 --> 00:44:35,203
Well...

1009
00:44:35,245 --> 00:44:38,566
you're going to have to make
many choices along the way,

1010
00:44:38,608 --> 00:44:40,568
many sacrifices,

1011
00:44:40,610 --> 00:44:44,294
if you are going to carry out
your stated mission.

1012
00:44:46,376 --> 00:44:50,579
In this room, the mission
will be to keep you aligned,

1013
00:44:50,621 --> 00:44:55,704
to allow you to remind yourself
why you are doing it.

1014
00:44:55,746 --> 00:44:59,708
And to give you the chance
to say a private prayer

1015
00:44:59,750 --> 00:45:04,233
of repentance
for each and every one

1016
00:45:04,275 --> 00:45:08,317
of the people you love
who you are going to hurt.

1017
00:45:08,359 --> 00:45:10,361
But that's all of them.

1018
00:45:11,322 --> 00:45:13,723
As I see it now, if I succeed
in taking Prince out,

1019
00:45:13,765 --> 00:45:16,045
I'm gonna have to rough up
each and every person

1020
00:45:16,087 --> 00:45:18,728
who works there
at some point along the way.

1021
00:45:18,770 --> 00:45:22,813
Then let's start
naming them now.

1022
00:45:22,855 --> 00:45:26,256
Feeling the pain,
it will cause you

1023
00:45:26,298 --> 00:45:28,300
to cause them pain.

1024
00:45:29,501 --> 00:45:31,584
And then, you will release it.

1025
00:45:32,705 --> 00:45:34,745
Breathe it out.

1026
00:45:34,787 --> 00:45:36,026
And move on.

1027
00:45:36,068 --> 00:45:38,070
Okay.

1028
00:45:39,031 --> 00:45:41,034
Let's do that.

1029
00:45:42,155 --> 00:45:44,315
How about we start
with the gentleman

1030
00:45:44,357 --> 00:45:46,277
who is bringing color
to your cheeks?

1031
00:45:46,319 --> 00:45:49,122
His name is Bradford Luke.

1032
00:45:59,853 --> 00:46:01,773
Interfering with public use.

1033
00:46:01,815 --> 00:46:03,455
Should I add that to the list?

1034
00:46:03,497 --> 00:46:05,938
-You want people to hear this?
-I'm an open book.

1035
00:46:05,980 --> 00:46:08,300
Unlike you.

1036
00:46:08,342 --> 00:46:10,543
What do you need to leave me
out of this, man?

1037
00:46:10,585 --> 00:46:12,745
The kid in cuffs
on American soil,

1038
00:46:12,787 --> 00:46:14,827
like I told Sacker
and she told you.

1039
00:46:14,869 --> 00:46:17,550
Do you want that?
You sort of do, sure.

1040
00:46:17,592 --> 00:46:19,552
A guy like you will always take
another feather in his cap.

1041
00:46:19,594 --> 00:46:21,314
But do you really
even give a darn?

1042
00:46:21,356 --> 00:46:23,516
You think I wear this pin
cynically?

1043
00:46:23,558 --> 00:46:25,478
I know why you wear that pin.

1044
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:27,640
Optics. Pandering.

1045
00:46:27,682 --> 00:46:29,883
Nixon popularised the practice,
for God's sake.

1046
00:46:29,925 --> 00:46:31,925
It's true. Haldeman saw
Redford wearing one

1047
00:46:31,967 --> 00:46:33,967
in <i>The Candidate</i>
and brought the idea back.

1048
00:46:34,009 --> 00:46:35,529
Nixon liked it so much,

1049
00:46:35,571 --> 00:46:37,010
he had the whole staff
sporting them.

1050
00:46:37,052 --> 00:46:38,692
But like so many
traditions,

1051
00:46:38,734 --> 00:46:40,454
most people don't
know how it started,

1052
00:46:40,496 --> 00:46:42,496
and more people don't care.

1053
00:46:42,538 --> 00:46:46,420
They only know how it makes
them feel to see it.

1054
00:46:46,462 --> 00:46:48,464
And what it stands for.

1055
00:46:49,786 --> 00:46:51,305
So, what do you really need?

1056
00:46:51,347 --> 00:46:53,349
Withdraw from the race.

1057
00:46:55,952 --> 00:46:58,313
Drop your so-called
presidential ambitions,

1058
00:46:58,355 --> 00:46:59,954
which are really
just a tarted-up way

1059
00:46:59,996 --> 00:47:01,998
of describing
your lust for power.

1060
00:47:02,879 --> 00:47:04,679
Go back to your office

1061
00:47:04,721 --> 00:47:06,321
and continue with your
standard-issue profiteering,

1062
00:47:06,363 --> 00:47:08,243
forget about
steering our nation,

1063
00:47:08,285 --> 00:47:10,287
and I'll back off.

1064
00:47:15,172 --> 00:47:16,532
You know, I've had
a lot of people

1065
00:47:16,574 --> 00:47:18,734
telling me what to do today.

1066
00:47:18,776 --> 00:47:21,337
Lot of good advice.
Well-intentioned, anyway.

1067
00:47:21,379 --> 00:47:23,419
About how I should
be doing things and why...

1068
00:47:23,461 --> 00:47:25,661
how it'll all look.

1069
00:47:25,703 --> 00:47:28,104
It'd gotten to the
point where saying "screw it"

1070
00:47:28,146 --> 00:47:29,986
and walking away was
starting to look pretty good.

1071
00:47:30,028 --> 00:47:31,628
Mm.

1072
00:47:31,670 --> 00:47:33,950
But then I remembered...

1073
00:47:33,992 --> 00:47:35,952
who the heck I am

1074
00:47:35,994 --> 00:47:37,874
and how I got to be that guy.

1075
00:47:37,916 --> 00:47:40,076
And it wasn't by following
somebody else's script.

1076
00:47:40,118 --> 00:47:43,040
It was by blazing my own path.

1077
00:47:43,082 --> 00:47:46,005
A path that leads
to the White House.

1078
00:47:49,088 --> 00:47:51,248
So, what I'm gonna do,

1079
00:47:51,290 --> 00:47:53,292
I'm gonna keep blazing it.

1080
00:47:56,055 --> 00:47:58,057
You want to be free of this?

1081
00:48:01,181 --> 00:48:05,143
The kid in my cuffs
on American soil.

1082
00:48:05,185 --> 00:48:07,307
Or you'll be the one in 'em.

1083
00:48:23,884 --> 00:48:27,526
He wants the kid,
or me to quit my run.

1084
00:48:27,568 --> 00:48:28,647
Jesus.

1085
00:48:28,689 --> 00:48:30,890
Nothing else will satisfy him.

1086
00:48:30,932 --> 00:48:32,892
He's trying to induce you
to take an action.

1087
00:48:32,934 --> 00:48:34,013
Yes.

1088
00:48:34,055 --> 00:48:35,495
So, it's your moral fucking duty

1089
00:48:35,537 --> 00:48:36,936
to take a different one.

1090
00:48:36,978 --> 00:48:39,098
Yes.

1091
00:48:39,140 --> 00:48:41,661
Unless that's what
he's actually looking for.

1092
00:48:41,703 --> 00:48:43,705
Yes.

1093
00:48:45,026 --> 00:48:47,029
What're you going to do?

1094
00:48:48,190 --> 00:48:50,672
Take the desired action
with a different result.

1095
00:48:55,598 --> 00:48:57,678
<i>Lí-hó.</i>

1096
00:48:57,720 --> 00:49:00,401
Sorry, I'm gonna
need your son.

1097
00:49:00,443 --> 00:49:02,563
No, I'm doing it.

1098
00:49:02,605 --> 00:49:04,845
But so you feel better about it,

1099
00:49:04,887 --> 00:49:06,887
when I'm in office,
in two years' time,

1100
00:49:06,929 --> 00:49:09,130
I can ensure the closest
commercial relationship

1101
00:49:09,172 --> 00:49:11,292
Taipei has ever had with D.C.

1102
00:49:11,334 --> 00:49:13,735
Specifically,
trade route protections

1103
00:49:13,777 --> 00:49:17,338
worth billions to you,
within my first 100 days.

1104
00:49:17,380 --> 00:49:18,940
And your son will be out
long before that,

1105
00:49:18,982 --> 00:49:20,261
if he's ever in jail at all.

1106
00:49:20,303 --> 00:49:22,306
If not, a pardon is certain.

1107
00:49:23,867 --> 00:49:26,708
It's not just how
it has to be, friend,

1108
00:49:26,750 --> 00:49:28,752
it's the only way it can be.

1109
00:49:33,157 --> 00:49:35,159
West Side Highway,
going south...

1110
00:50:02,828 --> 00:50:04,908
I feel like I've seen
this movie before.

1111
00:50:04,950 --> 00:50:06,670
No, the only way
that plane is empty

1112
00:50:06,712 --> 00:50:08,632
is if there was
a parachute on board.

1113
00:50:08,674 --> 00:50:11,996
Get Liu off that plane
as peacefully as possible

1114
00:50:12,038 --> 00:50:14,438
but be prepared
for a forced entry.

1115
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:16,843
Detain the pilot if you have to.

1116
00:50:23,330 --> 00:50:24,849
Party crasher.

1117
00:50:24,891 --> 00:50:26,893
Hold!

1118
00:50:37,544 --> 00:50:41,707
Prince. Thought his text
said you could have him.

1119
00:50:41,749 --> 00:50:43,751
Let's see where this goes.

1120
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:55,724
If that plane starts to taxi,
take out the tires.

1121
00:51:05,614 --> 00:51:07,254
Kid gave himself up.

1122
00:51:07,296 --> 00:51:09,698
It wasn't his idea.

1123
00:51:19,869 --> 00:51:22,910
This man was a fugitive from
justice, attempting to flee.

1124
00:51:22,952 --> 00:51:24,832
Which is why
I ordered my plane to land.

1125
00:51:24,874 --> 00:51:26,434
As a U.S. citizen,

1126
00:51:26,476 --> 00:51:29,557
nothing is more important
than obeying the law.

1127
00:51:29,599 --> 00:51:31,359
And as a sworn upholder
of those laws,

1128
00:51:31,401 --> 00:51:33,403
I'll take it from here.

1129
00:51:44,495 --> 00:51:46,014
You'll all report this properly.

1130
00:51:46,056 --> 00:51:48,096
You'll all come to learn
my plane was taken

1131
00:51:48,138 --> 00:51:49,258
under false pretences.

1132
00:51:49,300 --> 00:51:51,140
Now I want to thank...

1133
00:51:51,182 --> 00:51:53,102
United States Attorney Rhoades

1134
00:51:53,144 --> 00:51:55,624
for calling this
to my attention.

1135
00:51:55,666 --> 00:51:57,668
I'm so grateful.

1136
00:52:02,514 --> 00:52:03,753
Mr. Prince, is there any way

1137
00:52:03,795 --> 00:52:05,797
you can make a comment, sir?

1138
00:52:09,881 --> 00:52:12,402
Attorney's available
for photos, no questions.

1139
00:52:12,444 --> 00:52:14,446
Fine, take some photos.

1140
00:52:33,266 --> 00:52:35,626
Goddamned guy is going to get
a big hit off of this.

1141
00:52:35,668 --> 00:52:37,348
Mm-hmm. Maybe.

1142
00:52:37,390 --> 00:52:39,470
It wasn't a blowout,
but it'll go down as a win.

1143
00:52:39,512 --> 00:52:44,476
Now he knows his smallest
mistake will be raked over.

1144
00:52:44,518 --> 00:52:47,561
And everywhere he goes,
we are watching.

1145
00:52:49,082 --> 00:52:50,802
It's hard to march
toward the presidency

1146
00:52:50,844 --> 00:52:52,886
when you're always
looking over your shoulder.

1147
00:53:11,266 --> 00:53:12,585
I've just made arrangements

1148
00:53:12,627 --> 00:53:14,067
to send
the Indiana National Guard

1149
00:53:14,109 --> 00:53:16,389
to areas hit hardest
by the hurricane,

1150
00:53:16,431 --> 00:53:19,152
since units in the region
are underfunded.

1151
00:53:19,194 --> 00:53:21,034
This will get aid
to where it needs to be

1152
00:53:21,076 --> 00:53:23,316
before and until
the FEMA funds kick in.

1153
00:53:23,358 --> 00:53:25,358
All on Mike's dime.

1154
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:27,761
Foreign affairs settled.
Domestic affairs are settled.

1155
00:53:27,803 --> 00:53:29,963
And we're going to help
a whole bunch of people.

1156
00:53:30,005 --> 00:53:31,445
Today was a good day.

1157
00:53:31,487 --> 00:53:33,327
I am so fucking happy
it worked out.

1158
00:53:33,369 --> 00:53:34,928
Now, no matter what happens,

1159
00:53:34,970 --> 00:53:36,410
you will be seen to
have done the right thing.

1160
00:53:36,452 --> 00:53:38,692
Not merely seen to be, Wags.
Doing it.

1161
00:53:38,734 --> 00:53:40,777
Even more reason
to smile about it.

1162
00:53:50,787 --> 00:53:52,427
Every single thing you do now

1163
00:53:52,469 --> 00:53:55,110
matters in a way
it didn't before.

1164
00:53:55,152 --> 00:53:56,791
There are no casual decisions.

1165
00:53:56,833 --> 00:53:59,474
And no one borrows your jet.

1166
00:53:59,516 --> 00:54:02,758
No one drops by your house for
dinner without prior approval.

1167
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:05,521
No employee makes it look like
you're using a loophole

1168
00:54:05,563 --> 00:54:08,404
to avoid paying out
to the victims of a hurricane.

1169
00:54:08,446 --> 00:54:09,525
You need to be
the kind of person

1170
00:54:09,567 --> 00:54:10,686
who sees a hurricane coming--

1171
00:54:10,728 --> 00:54:12,888
Yeah. And runs toward it

1172
00:54:12,930 --> 00:54:14,410
with bailing buckets
and blankets

1173
00:54:14,452 --> 00:54:15,651
to wrap folks in.

1174
00:54:15,693 --> 00:54:17,695
Now you get it.

1175
00:54:18,336 --> 00:54:20,536
You need to assume
everything will come out

1176
00:54:20,578 --> 00:54:21,978
because it will.

1177
00:54:22,020 --> 00:54:23,700
So, take care to handle it
in advance

1178
00:54:23,742 --> 00:54:25,744
for the win.

1179
00:54:26,745 --> 00:54:29,065
It'll feel overwhelming,
but that's just what every hour

1180
00:54:29,107 --> 00:54:31,109
of every day
in the actual job will be.

1181
00:54:57,137 --> 00:54:58,256
I can't let you do it.

1182
00:54:58,298 --> 00:55:00,378
I know.

1183
00:55:00,420 --> 00:55:02,823
I want you to.
You need to know that.

1184
00:55:04,745 --> 00:55:06,787
You can keep the baton.
You should.

1185
00:55:08,749 --> 00:55:12,551
And, I promise,
after the inauguration,

1186
00:55:12,593 --> 00:55:14,753
you'll conduct
the National Orchestra.

1187
00:55:14,795 --> 00:55:16,995
Maybe do a full run
up the Eastern Seaboard.

1188
00:55:17,037 --> 00:55:18,717
That would be wonderful.

1189
00:55:18,759 --> 00:55:21,280
You don't have
to take this so gracefully,

1190
00:55:21,322 --> 00:55:23,202
me depriving you
of this dream right now.

1191
00:55:23,244 --> 00:55:24,483
You gave it to me.

1192
00:55:24,525 --> 00:55:26,485
I really wanted to.

1193
00:55:26,527 --> 00:55:28,530
I believe you.

1194
00:55:29,290 --> 00:55:31,050
I'm sorry.

1195
00:55:31,092 --> 00:55:32,732
This is what
I signed on for.

1196
00:55:32,774 --> 00:55:34,374
To make your life easier

1197
00:55:34,416 --> 00:55:36,136
so your journey became longer.

1198
00:55:36,178 --> 00:55:37,897
Richer. More fulfilling.

1199
00:55:37,939 --> 00:55:40,780
And I've always been
rewarded for so doing.

1200
00:55:40,822 --> 00:55:44,384
It doesn't change just because
it's in a different arena.

1201
00:55:44,426 --> 00:55:45,866
What about your life?

1202
00:55:45,908 --> 00:55:48,629
Well, you said you
had a good day today.

1203
00:55:48,671 --> 00:55:50,993
-I did.
-Then so did I.

1204
00:55:57,520 --> 00:55:59,522
Hold this for me.

1205
00:56:01,444 --> 00:56:03,446
Until.

1206
00:56:48,654 --> 00:56:50,494
You told Prince
you were happy it worked out.

1207
00:56:50,536 --> 00:56:52,015
Seemed the only thing to say.

1208
00:56:52,057 --> 00:56:53,977
Especially after
I screwed up that bad.

1209
00:56:54,019 --> 00:56:56,179
You didn't screw up.
You tried to take him out

1210
00:56:56,221 --> 00:56:59,903
by making him look
like an insurance scammer.

1211
00:56:59,945 --> 00:57:01,947
Almost succeeded.

1212
00:57:03,229 --> 00:57:04,788
Lone gunman-style.

1213
00:57:04,830 --> 00:57:06,791
But I guess... fuck.

1214
00:57:06,833 --> 00:57:08,432
Guess I'm no assassin.

1215
00:57:08,474 --> 00:57:11,437
A clean kill
can turn very messy.

1216
00:57:13,239 --> 00:57:15,640
Today will only make him
more careful and cautious

1217
00:57:15,682 --> 00:57:18,763
about what he does
and how he appears.

1218
00:57:18,805 --> 00:57:20,807
This is all going to be hard.

1219
00:57:22,169 --> 00:57:24,089
And messy.

1220
00:57:24,131 --> 00:57:25,851
Don't get yourself fired.

1221
00:57:25,893 --> 00:57:27,853
We can't-- none of us--
can do this alone.

1222
00:57:27,895 --> 00:57:29,935
Or on a one-off attempt.
It needs to be full-on

1223
00:57:29,977 --> 00:57:33,459
<i>Murder On The Orient Express</i>
or nothing.

1224
00:57:33,501 --> 00:57:35,260
But are you really
prepared to go that far?

1225
00:57:35,302 --> 00:57:38,184
I am now. Are you?

1226
00:57:38,226 --> 00:57:40,906
Because Prince was right
about your impulsivity.

1227
00:57:40,948 --> 00:57:44,470
That shit can't get it
done at these stakes, so...

1228
00:57:44,512 --> 00:57:46,672
will you exercise
the discipline required

1229
00:57:46,714 --> 00:57:48,835
to really do it right?

1230
00:57:48,877 --> 00:57:50,797
I need to know.

1231
00:57:50,839 --> 00:57:53,922
I will. And we will.

1232
00:57:55,484 --> 00:57:57,486
Together.

1233
00:57:59,928 --> 00:58:01,930
Damn right.
