Once the balance sheets start      to wobble, it just gets easier. 389 00:18:17,012 --> 00:18:18,847 There's also                    sabotage from within. 390 00:18:18,889 --> 00:18:22,267

--> 00:22:11,496 There's nothing there. 478 00:22:11,538 --> 00:22:12,914 I may not be voting                     for your boss, 479 00:22:12,956 --> 00:22:14,541 but he's as far from a crime 480 00:22:14,583 --> 00:22:17,252 as I am from starring               in a   Black Swan   remake. 481 00:22:17,294 --> 00:22:18,795 Don't have the dance moves? 482 00:22:18,837 --> 00:22:20,881 My jeté is for shit. 483 00:22:21,757 --> 00:22:24,051 The targets.                      And how targeted. 484 00:22:27,596 --> 00:22:28,680 Wow. 485 00:22:28,722 --> 00:22:30,057 I can't stop                    these investigations, 486 00:22:30,098 --> 00:22:31,475 or the announcements                   that are coming. 487 00:22:31,516 --> 00:22:33,435 I can't stop him. 488 00:22:33,477 --> 00:22:36,438 But I can at least knock the      intended victim out of the way. 489 00:22:49,493 --> 00:22:52,871 So, yeah, I have a source             and some documentation. 490 00:22:52,913 -->

Close. All I can say. 493 00:22:59,878 --> 00:23:01,421 Without the specific name, 494 00:23:01,463 --> 00:23:03,548 it's hard for me to put           confidence in the information. 495 00:23:03,590 --> 00:23:05,217 I understand                    what you're thinking-- 496 00:23:05,258 --> 00:23:07,260 that Chuck might want you            to know he's investigating 497 00:23:07,302 --> 00:23:09,137 to induce a reaction,                but I can't tell you. 498 00:23:09,179 --> 00:23:10,597 For the source's sake. 499 00:23:10,639 --> 00:23:13,517 Nice of you to protect

Smart. Trust no one. 503 00:23:23,402 --> 00:23:25,487 I don't even know              who they're tracking or when. 504 00:23:25,529 --> 00:23:27,030 I just look                     at what they send me. 505 00:23:27,072 --> 00:23:29,074 It's that same prudence               that makes me suggest 506 00:23:29,116 --> 00:23:32,369 you sell out your positions       even in these private companies. 507 00:23:32,411 --> 00:23:34,162 All your private                    equity positions. 508 00:23:34,204 --> 00:23:35,497 Unless he wants us to do that. 509 00:23:35,539 --> 00:23:37,082 Unless that won't be enough. 510 00:23:37,124 --> 00:23:39,918 It all depends on how many steps     from the idiot he thinks I am, 511 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,587 and he presumes                       I think he is. 512 00:23:42,629 --> 00:23:44,506 [cell phone vibrates] 513 00:23:44,548 --> 00:23:45,799 I-I need a whiteboard. 514 00:23:45,841 --> 00:23:47,634 Dunlop just texted me, Mike. 515 00:23:47,676 --> 00:23:49,261 She needs to push your dinner. 516 00:23:49,302 --> 00:23:51,847 -Tomorrow?                      -"Heading back home. 517 00:23:51,888 --> 00:23:53,974 Next trip should be soon." 518 00:24:02,649 --> 00:24:04,067 Herbert Yardley.                      Know the name? 519 00:24:04,109 --> 00:24:05,485 WWII codebreaker. 520 00:24:05,527 --> 00:24:10,240 And wrote the first               great poker strategy book. 521 00:24:10,282 --> 00:24:13,243 In it, he kind of invents                   game theory. 522 00:24:13,285 --> 00:24:15,996 Now the example we use to figure      this out is the quarterback, 523 00:24:16,037 --> 00:24:18,290 because in order                  to defend against him, 524 00:24:18,331 --> 00:24:21,460 you need to figure out               how many steps removed 525 00:24:21,501 --> 00:24:23,295 from the idiot he is. 526 00:24:23,336 --> 00:24:26,381 An idiot quarterback                    looks directly 527 00:24:26,423 --> 00:24:28,425 at the man he throws to. 528 00:24:28,467 --> 00:24:31,219 Now, what do you do if you're         the middle linebacker, Kate? 529 00:24:31,261 --> 00:24:33,930 Jump into the path of the ball,         just go where he's looking 530 00:24:33,972 --> 00:24:35,307 and intercept the pass. 531 00:24:35,348 --> 00:24:36,725 And if he's one step removed, 532 00:24:36,766 --> 00:24:41,188 if he looks left               but throws right each time. 533 00:24:41,229 --> 00:24:43,523 -Also easy to defend.                    -[Luke] Sure. 534 00:24:43,565 --> 00:24:45,942 You go to the opposite of his         eyes and intercept the pass. 535 00:24:45,984 --> 00:24:47,402 But-- and this                     is where the idea 536 00:24:47,444 --> 00:24:49,946 of un-exploitable play                    comes from-- 537 00:24:49,988 --> 00:24:51,781 if he knows you're running             this thought process, 538 00:24:51,823 --> 00:24:54,659 he can figure how many steps           removed you think he is, 539 00:24:54,701 --> 00:24:58,121 and he can go eight               or nine steps further out. 540 00:24:58,163 --> 00:25:01,333 Chuck is going to announce              an investigation... 541 00:25:02,250 --> 00:25:03,376 so I sell. 542 00:25:03,418 --> 00:25:06,880 But he wants me to know,                 so I don't sell. 543 00:25:08,173 --> 00:25:10,383 But he knows I know, 544 00:25:10,425 --> 00:25:12,719 so he doesn't really                   want me to sell. 545 00:25:12,761 --> 00:25:14,513 On and on. 546 00:25:17,224 --> 00:25:19,059 Now the question is, 547 00:25:19,100 --> 00:25:21,561 how many degrees from the idiot            does he think I am? 548 00:25:21,603 --> 00:25:23,438 How many is he? 549 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,649 That's what I need                   to figure, right? 550 00:25:27,609 --> 00:25:29,110 No. 551 00:25:29,152 --> 00:25:31,112 [laughs] 552 00:25:32,405 --> 00:25:34,366 Good. Good. 553 00:25:34,407 --> 00:25:36,993 That's what he wants me                spending my time on. 554 00:25:37,035 --> 00:25:40,163 Sorting out the financial attack        he and Axe are planning. 555 00:25:40,205 --> 00:25:42,666 He wants all my focus                    on that flank, 556 00:25:42,707 --> 00:25:45,418 ignoring the front where the war        is really taking place. 557 00:25:47,170 --> 00:25:49,339 Shoot.                        Get back to Dunlop. 558 00:25:49,381 --> 00:25:50,799

She doesn't leave the isle          of Manhattan before we meet. 562 00:25:58,640 --> 00:25:59,975 That's what you counted on. 563 00:26:00,016 --> 00:26:02,185 Getting me all caught up              in your frontal attack 564 00:26:02,227 --> 00:26:03,895 so I'd miss the real play: 565 00:26:03,937 --> 00:26:06,481 winning Governor Dunlop                  and her support. 566 00:26:06,523 --> 00:26:07,816 -Huh.                            -But you see, 567 00:26:07,857 --> 00:26:10,819 I remembered what was most                important to me: 568 00:26:10,860 --> 00:26:13,488

No, but I think I know                what it's gonna be. 571 00:26:19,536 --> 00:26:20,912 Do you? 572 00:26:20,954 --> 00:26:23,456 Well, then you should know          what I did yesterday, Mike.

00:26:52,235 are also coming up short                 against Prince. 578 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,280 All right, well,                    let's get into it. 579 00:26:56,448 --> 00:26:57,657 Do your thing, Wend. 580 00:26:57,699 --> 00:26:59,951 We're dealing with an ambitious, 581 00:26:59,993 --> 00:27:02,329 competitive, confident, 582 00:27:02,370 --> 00:27:05,832 charismatic, socially conscious             strategic thinker 583 00:27:05,874 --> 00:27:08,960 with high emotional intelligence          and deep resources. 584 00:27:09,002 --> 00:27:10,378 Jeez, it's a wonder                     I even thought 585 00:27:10,420 --> 00:27:11,880 to come back for this fight. 586 00:27:11,921 --> 00:27:13,673 Or even why I get out of bed               in the morning. 587 00:27:13,715 --> 00:27:15,550 [Wendy]                     But he's morally complex, 588 00:27:15,592 --> 00:27:18,011 which means he likes to think              he's more ethical 589 00:27:18,053 --> 00:27:19,471 than those around him. 590 00:27:19,512 --> 00:27:21,056 And he is not immune                    from engaging 591 00:27:21,097 --> 00:27:22,849 in questionable tactics               to achieve his goals. 592 00:27:22,891 --> 00:27:26,478 That is a slippery slope,           and one place he can be hit. 593 00:27:26,519 --> 00:27:30,523
