Drink, my friend. 167 00:07:52,889 --> 00:07:54,640 [wine pouring] 168 00:07:55,933 --> 00:07:58,144 [sighs] 169 00:08:24,378 --> 00:08:25,922 I was sitting there at my desk, 170 00:08:25,963 --> 00:08:28,299 waiting for everyone else                but you to leave. 171 00:08:28,341 --> 00:08:31,677 And I sat there                    for another hour... 172 00:08:31,719 --> 00:08:33,387 deciding. 173 00:08:36,474 --> 00:08:39,560 I think there's a mutiny                   in the works. 174 00:08:39,602 --> 00:08:40,895 Evidence? 175 00:08:40,937 --> 00:08:43,814 Circumstantial                  but strongly suggestive. 176 00:08:46,984 --> 00:08:50,571 I was doing my usual            post-decision review process-- 177 00:08:50,613 --> 00:08:51,781 You do that? How often? 178 00:08:51,822 --> 00:08:53,241 Once a week,                    so I don't get sloppy. 179 00:08:53,282 --> 00:08:55,952 And whilst reviewing,                something came clear. 180 00:08:55,993 --> 00:09:00,331 The moment I went to tell Prince         I was leaving the firm. 181 00:09:00,373 --> 00:09:02,833 The idea to do that,                       to leave, 182 00:09:02,875 --> 00:09:04,585 wasn't really mine. 183 00:09:04,627 --> 00:09:06,963 Who whispered it, then? 184 00:09:07,004 --> 00:09:08,381 Wags put it in my head, 185 00:09:08,422 --> 00:09:10,800 and I don't think it was out         of the goodness of his heart. 186 00:09:10,841 --> 00:09:12,343 You think he wanted                  to get rid of you? 187 00:09:12,385 --> 00:09:15,680 He came on like he was                 looking out for me. 188 00:09:15,721 --> 00:09:16,931 He doesn't do that. 189 00:09:16,973 --> 00:09:19,225 And that insight made me              rethink something else. 190 00:09:19,267 --> 00:09:23,020 A few times, when I've              approached small groups, 191 00:09:23,062 --> 00:09:27,900 they changed the conversation        or stopped talking entirely. 192 00:09:28,943 --> 00:09:31,362 Should we wake Prince? 193 00:09:31,988 --> 00:09:33,406 Not yet. No. 194 00:09:33,447 --> 00:09:36,158 When did this happen?                 Who are the groups? 195 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,453 I took contemporaneous notes.                    Here. 196 00:09:42,873 --> 00:09:44,458 Let's pull it up. 197 00:09:45,167 --> 00:09:46,627 -Pull it up?                            -Yeah. 198 00:09:46,669 --> 00:09:49,672 As old Warner Wolf used to say,      "Let's go to the videotape." 199 00:09:49,714 --> 00:09:53,509 We record everything          except privileged conversations. 200 00:09:53,551 --> 00:09:56,596 You record those too,                     don't you? 201 00:09:57,138 --> 00:09:59,724 Don't we? Come on. 202 00:10:15,031 --> 00:10:20,244 I have been walking and thinking          about this all night. 203 00:10:20,286 --> 00:10:22,830 After the eating and drinking,                   I mean. 204 00:10:22,872 --> 00:10:24,498 Hmm. I inferred that part. 205 00:10:24,540 --> 00:10:27,376 The kids are sleeping,             so let's keep it quiet-ish. 206 00:10:27,418 --> 00:10:30,630 Easy. Not that kind of drunk. 207 00:10:30,671 --> 00:10:32,089 Ah. 208 00:10:32,131 --> 00:10:34,634 The inquisitive kind. 209 00:10:34,675 --> 00:10:36,636 Okay. 210 00:10:37,511 --> 00:10:38,846 Come on. 211 00:10:48,022 --> 00:10:50,024 Fire away. 212 00:10:52,234 --> 00:10:55,780 How do you convince somebody              you won't hurt them 213 00:10:55,821 --> 00:10:58,366 if you really mean it? 214 00:10:58,407 --> 00:11:00,076 Do you need me to play along 215 00:11:00,117 --> 00:11:02,161 like I think you're asking                 theoretically, 216 00:11:02,203 --> 00:11:04,914 or about some random person                 I don't know? 217 00:11:04,955 --> 00:11:06,707 I do not, no. 218 00:11:09,210 --> 00:11:12,505 I have been ruminating                about what caused you 219 00:11:12,546 --> 00:11:16,384 to send your charge                     Philip to me. 220 00:11:17,259 --> 00:11:19,553 Sent him because he asked. 221 00:11:20,179 --> 00:11:21,889 Do you need me to play along 222 00:11:21,931 --> 00:11:23,516 like that's true? 223 00:11:23,557 --> 00:11:25,226 I do not. 224 00:11:25,267 --> 00:11:27,478 No. 225 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:32,483 But I do need a reason                 to keep this going. 226 00:11:34,485 --> 00:11:37,613 The Philip thing                  made me fairly certain 227 00:11:37,655 --> 00:11:41,409 that you see Prince                     the way I do. 228 00:11:42,535 --> 00:11:44,829 Before I respond to that... 229 00:11:45,746 --> 00:11:48,082 I need to know. 230 00:11:48,124 --> 00:11:50,918 What do you see in him                  that's different 231 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,004 than what you see                  in any other target? 232 00:11:55,172 --> 00:11:58,551 Well, the self-interest                   is the same. 233 00:11:58,592 --> 00:12:04,140 The scope and scale                of the ambition is not. 234 00:12:04,181 --> 00:12:06,726 Nor the grandiosity of vision. 235 00:12:07,810 --> 00:12:11,939 Sure, others of his general             stature bilk society 236 00:12:11,981 --> 00:12:13,691 while padding                     their own pockets, 237 00:12:13,733 --> 00:12:17,445 but not a one of them            that I have personally chased 238 00:12:17,486 --> 00:12:20,781 had the desire or capability           to get to where his hand 239 00:12:20,823 --> 00:12:26,454 was on the nuclear button           so he could press it first. 240 00:12:29,707 --> 00:12:31,250 Yeah, well... 241 00:12:31,292 --> 00:12:34,378 Yes, this guy would,                  or could, at least. 242 00:12:34,420 --> 00:12:36,464 "Could" is unacceptable. 243 00:12:37,882 --> 00:12:39,759 What if I agreed with that? 244 00:12:40,342 --> 00:12:41,927 What then? 245 00:12:43,554 --> 00:12:46,807 I am back at my reason                   for the visit. 246 00:12:48,726 --> 00:12:52,938 How do I convince you it would     be safe for you to work with me? 247 00:12:55,274 --> 00:12:56,692 In what way? 248 00:12:56,734 --> 00:13:00,988 I can't find a path             to get him within what I do. 249 00:13:01,030 --> 00:13:05,242 But with someone on the inside,      the path would reveal itself. 250 00:13:05,284 --> 00:13:07,578 If not to bring him to justice, 251 00:13:07,620 --> 00:13:10,456 at least to stop his ascent. 252 00:13:15,127 --> 00:13:17,463 As you know, somewhere deep... 253 00:13:18,297 --> 00:13:24,053 that I would stop short of         causing you irreparable harm... 254 00:13:24,094 --> 00:13:29,767 at this point, I, too, am close     to feeling that in the reverse. 255 00:13:29,809 --> 00:13:30,810 Jesus, it's late. 256 00:13:30,851 --> 00:13:33,020 I sound like

about how you'd treat me. 260 00:13:39,151 --> 00:13:40,402 Not really. 261 00:13:40,444 --> 00:13:42,780 What matters is,                 for what you want to try, 262 00:13:42,822 --> 00:13:45,491 for it to have                  any chance of succeeding, 263 00:13:45,533 --> 00:13:47,993 I'd have to enlist                      other people. 264 00:13:48,494 --> 00:13:50,287 I have enlisted other people. 265 00:13:50,329 --> 00:13:53,457 But I can't vouch for you                    to them, 266 00:13:53,499 --> 00:13:56,377 because you would hurt them                 if you had to 267 00:13:56,418 --> 00:13:59,004 without more                   than a moment's thought. 268 00:13:59,046 --> 00:14:00,673 [scoffs] 269 00:14:02,716 --> 00:14:06,178

 the finality of my position. 272 00:14:13,435 --> 00:14:15,312 I can't vouch. 273 00:14:15,354 --> 00:14:17,815 And even if I did,                they wouldn't believe me. 274 00:14:17,857 --> 00:14:19,233 Not after... 275 00:14:21,068 --> 00:14:23,529 everything they've seen you do. 276 00:14:27,157 --> 00:14:29,702 Thanks for answering the door. 277 00:14:43,340 --> 00:14:46,176 I've also felt the kind           of misalignment you describe, 278 00:14:46,218 --> 00:14:47,553 but not from Wags. 279 00:14:47,595 --> 00:14:50,764 Let's just see                     what was going on. 280 00:14:54,101 --> 00:14:55,477 [indistinct chatter] 281 00:14:55,519 --> 00:14:57,813 [Wags]   ...zooming up                   the fucking polls... 282 00:14:57,855 -->

There are zones of safety,                 and with that, 293 00:15:18,959 --> 00:15:20,210 this is mostly legal. 294 00:15:20,252 --> 00:15:21,545 You take over                    your enemy's company, 295 00:15:21,587 --> 00:15:23,672 you put in                      appropriate measures 296 00:15:23,714 --> 00:15:25,674 without exposing Prince                  unnecessarily. 297 00:15:25,716 --> 00:15:28,093 I heard some talk about you           giving out tracker rings 298 00:15:28,135 --> 00:15:29,345 before I got here. 299 00:15:29,385 --> 00:15:30,512 Decoys? 300

       under the Patriot Act, 305 00:15:41,231 --> 00:15:42,608 pulling down                      all communications. 306 00:15:42,650 --> 00:15:44,485 When you record everything,               you can't review. 307 00:15:44,526 --> 00:15:47,321 So you wait until                 circumstance dictates. 308 00:15:47,363 --> 00:15:49,531 Then look for keywords

00:16:11,178 We should fire them all,                   for starters. 318 00:16:11,220 --> 00:16:12,346 Maybe. 319 00:16:12,388 --> 00:16:13,973 Look at this. 320 00:16:14,807 --> 00:16:17,518 I had hoped the sixth sense                  was wrong. 321 00:16:17,559 --> 00:16:19,645 This was taken when they were            in England together, 322 00:16:19,687 --> 00:16:21,855 reportedly in the hotel. 323 00:16:21,897 --> 00:16:22,898 Shit. 324 00:16:22,940 --> 00:16:25,526 I hired an expert                 on English architecture 325 00:16:25,567 --> 00:16:26,986 and antiquities weeks ago. 326 00:16:27,027 --> 00:16:28,988 Still waiting               for some kind of verification. 327 00:16:29,029 --> 00:16:31,740 We will move quickly and           decisively when we know more, 328 00:16:31,782 --> 00:16:33,492 but we need                     the rest of it first. 329 00:16:33,534 --> 00:16:35,661 So, we're not waking him. 330 00:16:35,703 --> 00:16:38,789 Not tonight. But soon. 331 00:16:43,293 --> 00:16:44,545 You're thinking                   about all the things 332 00:16:44,586 --> 00:16:46,255 we can see                       with these cameras. 333 00:16:46,296 --> 00:16:47,756 Don't do that. 334 00:16:47,798 --> 00:16:49,299 Pretend you don't know. 335 00:16:49,341 --> 00:16:51,593 The other way                    is a path to despair. 336 00:16:51,635 --> 00:16:53,178 Just tell me                    the bathrooms aren't-- 337 00:16:53,220 --> 00:16:54,680 It was a discussion,                        but no. 338 00:16:54,722 --> 00:16:56,347 That was a bridge too far. 339 00:16:56,390 --> 00:16:58,308 Yeah. 340 00:17:02,688 --> 00:17:04,148 I want out. 341 00:17:04,189 --> 00:17:05,691 Out? 342 00:17:06,817 --> 00:17:09,278 I wish I could just bail                   on all of it. 343 00:17:09,319 --> 00:17:12,364 I wish I could, I guess,                   go backwards 344 00:17:12,406 --> 00:17:13,657 to before I knew so much, 345 00:17:13,699 --> 00:17:17,661 before there was               so much reason to be alarmed. 346 00:17:17,703 --> 00:17:20,456 The burden of what you know 347 00:17:20,497 --> 00:17:23,375 and what you believe                    will happen... 348 00:17:23,417 --> 00:17:27,921 I can see why you'd                just want to erase it. 349 00:17:27,963 --> 00:17:29,923 Or, if not erase,                   I could just leave. 350 00:17:29,965 --> 00:17:33,218 Absent myself                     from the situation. 351 00:17:33,260 --> 00:17:34,386 From Prince Capital. 352 00:17:34,428 --> 00:17:36,764 Let it all fall                      where it will, 353 00:17:36,805 --> 00:17:39,099 you know,                     despite what I believe. 354 00:17:39,141 --> 00:17:41,060 What's prompting this? 355 00:17:41,685 --> 00:17:44,271 Today. Now. 356 00:17:46,315 --> 00:17:48,442 Chuck came to see me. 357 00:17:49,193 --> 00:17:50,861 Proposed joining sides. 358 00:17:50,903 --> 00:17:54,782 You and he?                       Working together? 359 00:17:55,657 --> 00:17:56,700 On this? 360 00:17:56,742 --> 00:17:58,410 And he's right, tactically, 361 00:17:58,452 --> 00:18:01,080 if I could trust him                not to harm my people, 362 00:18:01,121 --> 00:18:02,956 and I... I almost do. 363 00:18:02,998 --> 00:18:07,461 I can see why this...         this interaction, this question, 364 00:18:07,503 --> 00:18:09,713 pushes you to make                     your own plans 365 00:18:09,755 --> 00:18:11,632 to scale the wall                       to freedom. 366 00:18:11,673 --> 00:18:14,134 But picture yourself, 367 00:18:14,176 --> 00:18:16,512 in whatever setting, 368 00:18:16,553 --> 00:18:19,098 seeing Prince ascend... 369 00:18:20,099 --> 00:18:22,142 whenever you turned on                   the television 370 00:18:22,184 --> 00:18:24,353 or opened your browser. 371 00:18:24,394 --> 00:18:27,106 [sighs] 372 00:18:27,147 --> 00:18:29,733 Seeing Chuck with that kind of       hopeless conviction on his face 373 00:18:29,775 --> 00:18:33,779 kind of convinced me that I        probably can't stop it anyway. 374 00:18:33,821 --> 00:18:36,615 So if I was some other place,               some other job, 375 00:18:36,657 --> 00:18:38,826 maybe helping people,              maybe lifting people up, 376 00:18:38,867 --> 00:18:41,537 perhaps I'd feel I was doing              some fucking thing. 377 00:18:41,578 --> 00:18:43,705 Then explore that path. 378 00:18:43,747 --> 00:18:44,957 Put the word out. 379 00:18:44,998 --> 00:18:48,710 Which probably means               just checking that folder 380 00:18:48,752 --> 00:18:50,712 you have in your inbox. 381 00:18:50,754 --> 00:18:53,715 The one that has all            the incoming from headhunters, 382 00:18:53,757 --> 00:18:55,926 hiring executives,                          CEOs. 383 00:18:55,968 --> 00:18:58,220 I have.                      As soon as Chuck left, 384 00:18:58,262 --> 00:19:01,140 I opened that very folder... 385 00:19:02,641 --> 00:19:05,352 and saw a few things                  worth considering. 386 00:19:06,395 --> 00:19:08,147 Then consider them. 387 00:19:10,524 --> 00:19:13,527 But also consider... 388 00:19:14,570 --> 00:19:16,989 that as you get closer 389 00:19:17,030 --> 00:19:21,702 to any moment                       of huge import, 390 00:19:21,743 --> 00:19:25,205 huge impact,                        huge challenge, 391 00:19:25,247 --> 00:19:30,502 the desire to flee              becomes almost overwhelming. 392 00:19:30,544 --> 00:19:33,589 Sometimes that instinct                    serves us. 393 00:19:33,630 --> 00:19:37,551 And sometimes                   it's trying to protect 394 00:19:37,593 --> 00:19:39,761 what doesn't need protecting 395 00:19:39,803 --> 00:19:43,849 and is, instead,                        stopping us 396 00:19:43,891 --> 00:19:48,270 from taking                        that very risk 397 00:19:48,312 --> 00:19:53,025 we absolutely need to take. 398 00:20:01,575 --> 00:20:02,826
