1
00:00:04,965 --> 00:00:07,486
Previously on Billions.
2
00:00:07,528 --> 00:00:09,127
Welcome home, Bobby.
3
00:00:09,169 --> 00:00:11,130
I think there's a mutiny
in the works.
4
00:00:11,172 --> 00:00:13,572
Let's go to the videotape.
We record everything.
5
00:00:13,614 --> 00:00:15,855
I guess it's always
important to keep a close eye
6
00:00:15,897 --> 00:00:18,057
when your people are really
your kidnap victims.
7
00:00:18,099 --> 00:00:19,619
No, Axe, not a close eye.
8
00:00:19,661 --> 00:00:21,501
A thousand eyes and ears,
9
00:00:21,543 --> 00:00:23,583
and the software
to make sense of it all.
10
00:00:23,625 --> 00:00:25,225
There is an order to things.
11
00:00:25,267 --> 00:00:28,428
Learn of a crime,
investigate, confirm, announce.
12
00:00:28,470 --> 00:00:30,550
And I assure you,
we will find crimes.
13
00:00:30,592 --> 00:00:33,273
Fruit of a poison tree
called Michael Prince.
14
00:00:33,315 --> 00:00:35,756
This is a drive
that cannot be copied.
15
00:00:35,798 --> 00:00:37,237
It contains a cataloguing
16
00:00:37,279 --> 00:00:38,879
of moves I have made,
17
00:00:38,921 --> 00:00:40,601
extralegal and plain illegal.
18
00:00:40,643 --> 00:00:42,883
Would get me disbarred
and jailed
19
00:00:42,925 --> 00:00:44,445
if it were to come out.
20
00:00:44,487 --> 00:00:45,967
You got a way
to separate his cash
21
00:00:46,009 --> 00:00:47,809
from all the people
who work there for him
22
00:00:47,851 --> 00:00:49,250
before you A-bomb his shit?
23
00:00:49,292 --> 00:00:52,093
-There is no way.
-Like it, don't love it.
24
00:00:52,135 --> 00:00:54,416
What we need specifically
is for you to reset
25
00:00:54,458 --> 00:00:56,338
the parameters
on the risk algo.
26
00:00:56,380 --> 00:00:58,820
We have a time frame.
It's right fucking now.
27
00:00:58,862 --> 00:01:00,742
Bobby, you need
to reach Dunlop.
28
00:01:00,784 --> 00:01:02,384
Offer her whatever you can.
29
00:01:02,426 --> 00:01:04,386
Make sure she doesn't do
the wrong thing.
30
00:01:04,428 --> 00:01:06,148
Axe, you're impressive,
but this is something
31
00:01:06,190 --> 00:01:07,830
I've worked my whole life for.
32
00:01:07,872 --> 00:01:09,311
Then don't barter that dream
33
00:01:09,353 --> 00:01:10,713
to a guy so transactional
34
00:01:10,755 --> 00:01:12,757
he'll sell VP for your support.
35
00:01:13,918 --> 00:01:15,398
I've made my decision
36
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:16,879
to not only throw my support
37
00:01:16,921 --> 00:01:19,642
behind our next president,
Mike Prince,
38
00:01:19,684 --> 00:01:22,405
but to become his partner,
his vice president,
39
00:01:22,447 --> 00:01:24,970
for the good of our country
and the whole world.
40
00:01:26,011 --> 00:01:28,852
You're on the briefings, Mike.
41
00:01:28,894 --> 00:01:31,177
-We're going to Camp David.
-Boom.
42
00:02:15,544 --> 00:02:17,546
Cardamom bun.
43
00:02:21,390 --> 00:02:22,950
Fuck, Ryan.
44
00:02:22,992 --> 00:02:24,351
That's good.
45
00:02:24,393 --> 00:02:25,873
My take on La Cabra's,
46
00:02:25,915 --> 00:02:27,394
which is really their take
on one I ate
47
00:02:27,436 --> 00:02:29,517
at Juno the Bakery
in Copenhagen.
48
00:02:29,559 --> 00:02:31,078
Thanks for sending me
on that trip, Axe,
49
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,040
and for bringing me back
on board.
50
00:02:33,082 --> 00:02:34,522
Worth it.
51
00:02:34,564 --> 00:02:36,084
Those buns are no joke.
52
00:02:36,126 --> 00:02:38,086
Thanks, Chef Ryan.
53
00:03:02,834 --> 00:03:04,916
So...game day, huh?
54
00:03:07,799 --> 00:03:11,681
Ryan! Bring Sacker a bun!
She needs to be fortified!
55
00:03:11,723 --> 00:03:14,046
-And a coffee, please.
-Coffee!
56
00:03:31,745 --> 00:03:34,305
I love that you're ditching
your race for Congress.
57
00:03:34,347 --> 00:03:35,867
I am?
58
00:03:35,909 --> 00:03:38,270
As much as we need you there,
we need you here.
59
00:03:38,312 --> 00:03:40,672
Besides, not enough
hand sanitizer in the world
60
00:03:40,714 --> 00:03:42,716
to make me do that job.
61
00:03:43,637 --> 00:03:45,998
You should go long Purell.
I'm not ditching a thing.
62
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:47,760
But you're still here?
63
00:03:47,802 --> 00:03:50,282
My filing deadline's
months away.
64
00:03:50,324 --> 00:03:51,804
But Prince's campaign's
days away
65
00:03:51,846 --> 00:03:53,526
from becoming
a black hole.
66
00:03:53,568 --> 00:03:55,848
Everything in its vicinity,
sucked right in.
67
00:03:55,890 --> 00:03:57,730
You'll just be part
of the fabric of the thing,
68
00:03:57,772 --> 00:04:01,214
unable to assert yourself
as anything other than
69
00:04:01,256 --> 00:04:03,016
Prince's fill-in-the-blank.
70
00:04:03,058 --> 00:04:05,018
All because he's about
to throw down a gauntlet?
71
00:04:05,060 --> 00:04:06,540
More of a grenade,
72
00:04:06,582 --> 00:04:08,662
at the parties
you'll need to nominate you.
73
00:04:08,704 --> 00:04:11,145
So I establish a little distance
when I leave, is all.
74
00:04:11,187 --> 00:04:12,626
With your family dough?
75
00:04:12,668 --> 00:04:14,108
With the whitest collar
background
76
00:04:14,150 --> 00:04:16,230
of anyone at the firm?
77
00:04:16,272 --> 00:04:18,352
Ask Chang and Eng.
78
00:04:18,394 --> 00:04:21,678
Not a lot of distance
when you're joined at the hip.
79
00:04:33,651 --> 00:04:35,450
What the fuck
are you doing here?
80
00:04:35,492 --> 00:04:37,453
Sacker called to meet.
Not you too?
81
00:04:37,495 --> 00:04:39,497
Yep. She called me to meet.
82
00:04:40,778 --> 00:04:42,860
Shit.
83
00:04:48,666 --> 00:04:50,669
Oh, this isn't good.
84
00:04:51,269 --> 00:04:53,109
My favorite burger in the city.
85
00:04:53,151 --> 00:04:55,432
But now I have lost my appetite.
86
00:04:55,474 --> 00:04:58,437
Yeah, this isn't good at all.
She's onto us. Has to be.
87
00:05:10,690 --> 00:05:13,131
This is fucked
that I have to do this.
88
00:05:13,173 --> 00:05:14,652
Speak it aloud.
89
00:05:14,694 --> 00:05:17,375
-I'm onto you.
-No way.
90
00:05:17,417 --> 00:05:19,657
I'm pretty sure I know
what you three have been up to.
91
00:05:19,699 --> 00:05:22,420
Or, more accurately,
that you're up to something.
92
00:05:22,462 --> 00:05:25,143
That bullshit
on the elevator a few hours ago
93
00:05:25,185 --> 00:05:26,705
was the final tip-off, Wags.
94
00:05:26,747 --> 00:05:28,749
The why matters more
than the what, Kate.
95
00:05:29,990 --> 00:05:31,790
I came here
because I respect you all.
96
00:05:31,832 --> 00:05:34,313
But I work for Prince.
97
00:05:34,355 --> 00:05:36,155
He took the shot on me.
98
00:05:36,197 --> 00:05:38,558
So you have about one minute
to convince me of that "why"
99
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,602
before I turn your asses in.
100
00:05:41,723 --> 00:05:43,725
Give me three.
101
00:05:57,019 --> 00:05:59,099
You hear anything unusual
on your side?
102
00:05:59,141 --> 00:06:01,622
Total focus on security
and safety
103
00:06:01,664 --> 00:06:04,385
and surveillance and protection:
the new norm.
104
00:06:04,427 --> 00:06:06,667
Philip is the only one able
to make decisions,
105
00:06:06,709 --> 00:06:07,949
so it's quiet.
106
00:06:07,991 --> 00:06:09,190
Quiet is good.
107
00:06:28,613 --> 00:06:31,334
We're here to set the terms
for the performance reviews.
108
00:06:31,376 --> 00:06:34,337
Should we wait until Philip
is here before we start?
109
00:06:34,379 --> 00:06:36,381
He's not coming.
110
00:06:57,163 --> 00:06:59,243
We could have talked
at the office.
111
00:06:59,285 --> 00:07:00,845
But apparently
you've stopped showing up
112
00:07:00,887 --> 00:07:02,567
and taken to day drinking.
113
00:07:02,609 --> 00:07:04,891
Yeah, the office is not a place
I can be right now.
114
00:07:07,734 --> 00:07:09,736
No?
115
00:07:11,698 --> 00:07:13,538
I can't live with it.
116
00:07:13,580 --> 00:07:16,542
Mike Prince rising
off the rubble of Marc Ruloff.
117
00:07:16,584 --> 00:07:18,304
Professor Ruloff
didn't deserve that.
118
00:07:18,346 --> 00:07:20,186
And yes, sure,
119
00:07:20,228 --> 00:07:22,388
I know the old man Eastwood
quote that guys in the industry
120
00:07:22,430 --> 00:07:25,751
love to say when they screw
the other party on a deal:
121
00:07:25,793 --> 00:07:27,754
"Deserve's got nothing
to do with it."
122
00:07:27,796 --> 00:07:29,515
And I don't want to keep
making money for someone
123
00:07:29,557 --> 00:07:31,117
who buys into all that.
124
00:07:31,159 --> 00:07:33,119
But I don't know
what to do about it.
125
00:07:33,161 --> 00:07:34,721
I do.
126
00:07:34,763 --> 00:07:36,283
I know exactly
what you can do about it,
127
00:07:36,325 --> 00:07:37,884
something that needs to be done
128
00:07:37,926 --> 00:07:40,327
because he won't stop
just ruining businesses
129
00:07:40,369 --> 00:07:43,172
and lone men like your
favorite professor. And...
130
00:07:44,894 --> 00:07:47,497
I know you know this on a deep,
subconscious level.
131
00:07:52,462 --> 00:07:54,262
But first, we're gonna have
to play out a scene
132
00:07:54,304 --> 00:07:56,306
back at my office.
133
00:08:03,153 --> 00:08:05,434
Prince should be
at Camp David soon.
134
00:08:05,476 --> 00:08:07,396
Once he gets there,
he may have to wait a while,
135
00:08:07,438 --> 00:08:09,918
'cause the president
waits for no one.
136
00:08:44,517 --> 00:08:45,877
Your man is rolling in.
137
00:08:45,919 --> 00:08:47,358
I'll let you know
when he's done.
138
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,402
Thanks, Hall.
139
00:08:51,004 --> 00:08:52,644
He's nine minutes out.
140
00:08:52,686 --> 00:08:55,247
That should give us between
90 minutes and two hours.
141
00:08:55,289 --> 00:08:59,131
Chuck, I guess you should go
stop those leaks.
142
00:08:59,173 --> 00:09:01,814
-Indeed, sir.
-If I had a cue, that's it.
143
00:09:01,856 --> 00:09:03,615
Better get over there.
144
00:09:03,657 --> 00:09:05,377
Yep. Time to open up
the side door.
145
00:09:05,419 --> 00:09:07,421
I'll get to it.
146
00:09:20,475 --> 00:09:22,275
Morning, sir.
147
00:09:22,317 --> 00:09:24,357
I have Candidate Prince for
a meeting with the president.
148
00:09:24,399 --> 00:09:26,440
Also attending, Scooter Dunbar.
And I'm Bradford Luke.
149
00:09:26,482 --> 00:09:27,801
Yes, sir, I have you.
150
00:09:27,843 --> 00:09:30,005
I'll need all your IDs
and phones.
151
00:09:37,253 --> 00:09:39,255
All clear.
152
00:09:45,422 --> 00:09:48,023
We are about
to embark on something
153
00:09:48,065 --> 00:09:50,185
that we cannot afford
to have confirmed
154
00:09:50,227 --> 00:09:53,709
by sources in this office
before we're sure.
155
00:09:53,751 --> 00:09:57,993
And so I will be noting
each and every one of you here.
156
00:09:58,035 --> 00:09:59,995
And if it does leak,
157
00:10:00,037 --> 00:10:03,559
I will assume it came
from one, two, three of you,
158
00:10:03,601 --> 00:10:06,763
and all will go down.
159
00:10:06,805 --> 00:10:08,324
What US Attorney Rhoades
is doing here
160
00:10:08,366 --> 00:10:10,767
is giving you an opportunity
to let us know
161
00:10:10,809 --> 00:10:13,610
- before that happens.
- In many organizations
162
00:10:13,652 --> 00:10:15,492
such as ours
in other countries,
163
00:10:15,534 --> 00:10:17,814
they have whole
mini organizations
164
00:10:17,856 --> 00:10:22,780
designed to spot this kind
of betrayal and punish it.
165
00:10:22,822 --> 00:10:26,864
Do I have a similar,
tight-knit operation going?
166
00:10:26,906 --> 00:10:30,027
I'd tell you,
but then I'd be leaking.
167
00:10:30,069 --> 00:10:32,230
We have a source
who has shared information
168
00:10:32,272 --> 00:10:35,793
that six of the largest
U.S. natural gas companies
169
00:10:35,835 --> 00:10:39,077
have been colluding with
and price fixing alongside of
170
00:10:39,119 --> 00:10:41,521
Russia, China, and Iran.
171
00:10:42,923 --> 00:10:45,324
We are prioritizing
this investigation,
172
00:10:45,366 --> 00:10:47,045
and because it threatens
173
00:10:47,087 --> 00:10:49,248
the country's entire
energy infrastructure,
174
00:10:49,290 --> 00:10:54,215
we shall do so
with stealth and rigor.
175
00:11:01,383 --> 00:11:02,862
I know we've had
our differences of late
176
00:11:02,904 --> 00:11:04,904
on how this office
should function,
177
00:11:04,946 --> 00:11:06,746
but I think you'll agree
that finding out
178
00:11:06,788 --> 00:11:08,869
if there's been malfeasance
by the energy sector
179
00:11:08,911 --> 00:11:12,392
and these companies
is exactly what we're here for.
180
00:11:12,434 --> 00:11:14,234
And if you will take it on,
181
00:11:14,276 --> 00:11:18,601
I promise you,
we will act on what you learn.
182
00:11:22,085 --> 00:11:23,764
Okay.
183
00:11:23,806 --> 00:11:25,809
I'm on it.
184
00:11:44,148 --> 00:11:45,588
My part is done.
185
00:11:45,630 --> 00:11:47,109
The algo will now zig
when it used to zag.
186
00:11:47,151 --> 00:11:49,271
So, if all the rest
goes according to plan--
187
00:11:49,313 --> 00:11:51,594
Yeah, that's the if.
188
00:11:51,636 --> 00:11:55,678
You know,
when all this is over,
189
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,122
I want you back with me,
running things.
190
00:11:59,164 --> 00:12:01,124
It always feels like this
between us at first
191
00:12:01,166 --> 00:12:03,168
because of the mind-meld thing.
192
00:12:04,209 --> 00:12:06,211
But then something happens.
193
00:12:06,932 --> 00:12:08,732
I think it'd be different now.
194
00:12:08,774 --> 00:12:10,374
I'm different. You are.
195
00:12:10,416 --> 00:12:13,137
We have a concrete goal
in mind for you,
196
00:12:13,179 --> 00:12:14,979
so there'd be a defined exit.
197
00:12:15,021 --> 00:12:17,021
Then you could go do
all the positive things
198
00:12:17,063 --> 00:12:18,743
that you're destined for.
199
00:12:18,785 --> 00:12:20,505
Won't be forever.
200
00:12:20,547 --> 00:12:22,989
But I think it'd be very,
very good for everyone.
201
00:12:24,871 --> 00:12:28,235
You and me,
together again, kid.
202
00:12:29,636 --> 00:12:31,799
I'll give it
real consideration.
203
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:34,922
You do that.
204
00:12:49,257 --> 00:12:52,298
The president's been looking
forward to this, Mr. Prince.
205
00:12:52,340 --> 00:12:54,060
We should be up at the cabin
in a few minutes.
206
00:12:54,102 --> 00:12:56,104
Sounds good.
207
00:13:03,713 --> 00:13:05,472
All capital's now deployed.
208
00:13:05,514 --> 00:13:07,595
Thank God
we're off the sidelines.
209
00:13:07,637 --> 00:13:10,558
Not that we can make shit
in this low-margin stuff.
210
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:11,919
Hey, it's what
the algo dictated,
211
00:13:11,961 --> 00:13:13,401
it's what we got.
212
00:13:13,443 --> 00:13:14,682
Chill and scroll
Variant News
213
00:13:14,724 --> 00:13:16,726
for ideas or something.
214
00:13:25,255 --> 00:13:27,936
Something is amiss
at the Circle K.
215
00:13:27,978 --> 00:13:32,301
As in, there is cash
in a long-dormant account.
216
00:13:32,343 --> 00:13:33,743
A lot of cash.
217
00:13:33,785 --> 00:13:35,945
All funds are invested.
What account?
218
00:13:35,987 --> 00:13:37,989
Unclear.
219
00:13:40,712 --> 00:13:43,032
Must be some reserve
the algo dictated
220
00:13:43,074 --> 00:13:44,714
be held back
for optimum timing.
221
00:13:44,756 --> 00:13:46,356
And Mike and Scooter
mentioned something about it.
222
00:13:46,398 --> 00:13:47,557
I'll check it out.
223
00:13:47,599 --> 00:13:49,199
I also couldn't help but notice
224
00:13:49,241 --> 00:13:51,481
a bit of a concentration
in the energy sector
225
00:13:51,523 --> 00:13:52,763
in the portfolio.
226
00:13:52,805 --> 00:13:54,004
We should alert the brass.
227
00:13:54,046 --> 00:13:55,245
You're into allocation now?
228
00:13:55,287 --> 00:13:57,368
A falcon sees what he sees.
229
00:13:57,410 --> 00:13:59,410
You sound like someone
who thinks they know better
230
00:13:59,452 --> 00:14:01,132
than the Trojan Defense
algorithm.
231
00:14:01,174 --> 00:14:02,693
Maybe you should
have a meeting about that
232
00:14:02,735 --> 00:14:04,737
with leadership
when they're back.
233
00:14:15,229 --> 00:14:17,189
The press start whacking
the sector yet?
234
00:14:17,231 --> 00:14:19,031
No. It's quiet so far.
235
00:14:19,073 --> 00:14:20,392
This whole thing
doesn't work if--
236
00:14:20,434 --> 00:14:21,834
Chuck will get it done.
237
00:14:23,277 --> 00:14:24,957
Hold up.
238
00:14:24,999 --> 00:14:26,679
Posts are starting to hit.
239
00:14:26,721 --> 00:14:30,002
Fintwit and the other socials
are getting into the act.
240
00:14:30,044 --> 00:14:32,285
Business press, the FJ,
bulletins are landing.
241
00:14:32,327 --> 00:14:33,806
- There we go.
- Nice.
242
00:14:33,848 --> 00:14:35,568
They're starting
to take bets on sanctions,
243
00:14:35,610 --> 00:14:38,451
and when CEOs are gonna
get hauled in front of Congress.
244
00:14:38,493 --> 00:14:40,053
That must be setting off
some alarm bells
245
00:14:40,095 --> 00:14:41,374
over at Mike Prince Capital,
huh?
246
00:14:41,416 --> 00:14:42,856
The account's
available to you.
247
00:14:42,898 --> 00:14:44,137
You poised and ready
for when it's time?
248
00:14:44,179 --> 00:14:45,859
Hell yes, I'm ready.
249
00:14:45,901 --> 00:14:47,221
I'm as sharp as a bell.
250
00:14:47,263 --> 00:14:48,902
I mean, as clear as a--
251
00:14:48,944 --> 00:14:50,947
We know what you mean.
252
00:14:51,948 --> 00:14:55,229
The stories about collusion
in the natural gas sector
253
00:14:55,271 --> 00:14:57,391
are starting to hit
the financial press.
254
00:14:57,433 --> 00:14:59,233
Ain't that the way it goes.
255
00:14:59,275 --> 00:15:01,796
You tell a group of people,
government attorneys no less,
256
00:15:01,838 --> 00:15:03,838
to be quiet about something,
and it's on the news sites
257
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:05,160
20 minutes later.
258
00:15:05,202 --> 00:15:08,203
-Wouldn't you know it.
-Shocked.
259
00:15:08,245 --> 00:15:10,247
We'll get a fainting couch
moved in.
260
00:15:13,210 --> 00:15:16,652
It's like, if I could turn this
fucking Bloomberg upside down,
261
00:15:16,694 --> 00:15:19,094
all the positions would be
headed in the right direction.
262
00:15:19,136 --> 00:15:21,577
These are major fucking hits
we are taking.
263
00:15:21,619 --> 00:15:23,339
What can we blow out of
right now?
264
00:15:23,381 --> 00:15:25,261
I'm checking the risk algo.
This'll self-correct.
265
00:15:25,303 --> 00:15:26,863
We are well within
the parameters.
266
00:15:26,905 --> 00:15:28,905
Self-correct my ass.
267
00:15:28,947 --> 00:15:31,908
Nat gas stocks are cratering,
pulling us down with them.
268
00:15:31,950 --> 00:15:34,671
This bloodbath gets any worse,
they're gonna halt these stocks.
269
00:15:34,713 --> 00:15:36,193
There's no way the exchange
270
00:15:36,235 --> 00:15:37,834
wants to answer
to the SEC on this.
271
00:15:37,876 --> 00:15:40,077
-We gotta make moves.
-Our moves are prescribed.
272
00:15:40,119 --> 00:15:42,760
We've got the infant car seat
of algos protecting us.
273
00:15:42,802 --> 00:15:44,804
Just hang tight
for the turnaround.
274
00:15:50,930 --> 00:15:52,330
Presenting Kate Sacker,
275
00:15:52,372 --> 00:15:54,572
formerly of
the Southern District.
276
00:15:54,614 --> 00:15:56,494
Formerly of
the attorney general's office.
277
00:15:56,536 --> 00:16:00,701
Presently general counsel
of Michael Prince Capital.
278
00:16:17,519 --> 00:16:21,200
Miss Sacker, it occurs to me
that in a very short time,
279
00:16:21,242 --> 00:16:24,924
your political prospects
will be in tatters.
280
00:16:24,966 --> 00:16:29,890
But turning that around
need not be a laborious process.
281
00:16:29,932 --> 00:16:31,531
You have ideas on that front?
282
00:16:31,573 --> 00:16:33,053
I do.
283
00:16:33,095 --> 00:16:34,855
The very fact that you
were willing
284
00:16:34,897 --> 00:16:37,097
to sacrifice your ambitions
marks you
285
00:16:37,139 --> 00:16:40,461
as the exact person
we all need in office.
286
00:16:40,503 --> 00:16:43,344
It's who you were
when we first met.
287
00:16:43,386 --> 00:16:45,867
And you've found
your way back.
288
00:16:45,909 --> 00:16:47,909
So, what's the path?
289
00:16:47,951 --> 00:16:50,474
Because you're the person
I want guiding me now.
290
00:16:52,436 --> 00:16:55,797
The path would entail a return
to SDNY, a pay cut,
291
00:16:55,839 --> 00:16:58,640
and perhaps some more sedate
292
00:16:58,682 --> 00:17:01,003
clothing choices,
unfortunately.
293
00:17:01,045 --> 00:17:02,845
But some high-profile cases.
294
00:17:02,887 --> 00:17:04,086
Crusader-type stuff.
295
00:17:04,128 --> 00:17:05,848
You can have your pick.
296
00:17:05,890 --> 00:17:08,170
The kind of cases that bolster
and burnish a reputation.
297
00:17:08,212 --> 00:17:10,533
The kind that people
in these offices
298
00:17:10,575 --> 00:17:13,538
have been using as
a springboard for generations.
299
00:17:15,380 --> 00:17:16,699
Pencil me in.
300
00:17:18,744 --> 00:17:21,745
You crusaded to make
this happen, and now it will.
301
00:17:21,787 --> 00:17:23,306
Our visitor is here?
That's the knock?
302
00:17:23,348 --> 00:17:25,269
Believe so.
You want to open it?
303
00:17:25,311 --> 00:17:28,194
Well, he knows the way in.
You know the way in! Come on in.
304
00:17:32,879 --> 00:17:37,642
I did not expect to hear
your voice or see you, Kate.
305
00:17:37,684 --> 00:17:39,844
Chuck didn't mention it
with the invite.
306
00:17:39,886 --> 00:17:42,046
Wouldn't be a surprise party
without the surprise.
307
00:17:42,088 --> 00:17:44,211
Or without gifts.
308
00:17:54,381 --> 00:17:57,703
You guys went and did it.
You reinstated my law license.
309
00:17:57,745 --> 00:18:01,587
Somehow got around the mandatory
seven-year wait.
310
00:18:01,629 --> 00:18:04,110
Uh, we might've hurried
the process along a bit, yes.
311
00:18:04,152 --> 00:18:07,674
But you applied
and got the recommendations
312
00:18:07,716 --> 00:18:09,716
and did the work.
313
00:18:09,758 --> 00:18:11,878
But you paid the fee,
didn't you?
314
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:13,922
Who knows?
Important thing, it's paid.
315
00:18:17,446 --> 00:18:18,645
I'm moved.
316
00:18:18,687 --> 00:18:22,449
I find this...moving.
317
00:18:22,491 --> 00:18:24,892
We look forward to seeing you
across the aisle in court.
318
00:18:24,934 --> 00:18:26,293
I don't.
319
00:18:26,335 --> 00:18:28,296
Yeah, let's just...not.
320
00:18:35,145 --> 00:18:36,744
Before you quit that hibachi,
321
00:18:36,786 --> 00:18:39,109
save Chuck and me a seat
for one last fantail shrimp.
322
00:18:41,632 --> 00:18:44,152
You know, fantail shrimp
are a different thing.
323
00:18:44,194 --> 00:18:46,595
One's a Chinese delicacy,
the other--
324
00:18:46,637 --> 00:18:51,040
Oh, you...
know that, don't you?
325
00:18:51,082 --> 00:18:53,642
Okay. Bye. Thanks for this.
326
00:18:53,684 --> 00:18:55,324
Bye.
327
00:19:07,379 --> 00:19:09,381
That was really...
328
00:19:10,102 --> 00:19:11,622
If someone asks me
if anything fazes me,
329
00:19:11,664 --> 00:19:14,064
I can no longer say
I am unfazed.
330
00:19:14,106 --> 00:19:15,986
That fazed me.
331
00:19:16,028 --> 00:19:17,508
Never get used to it.
332
00:19:17,550 --> 00:19:20,313
- Pretty G-D cool.
- Sir? Your phones.
333
00:19:22,875 --> 00:19:24,075
Gentlemen.
334
00:19:30,684 --> 00:19:32,284
Uh, you're a few minutes late
335
00:19:32,326 --> 00:19:34,646
for me to ask the president
to pardon you, Axe.
336
00:19:34,688 --> 00:19:36,648
No, Mike,
I am right on time.
337
00:19:36,690 --> 00:19:38,610
And I'm glad
you got your audience,
338
00:19:38,652 --> 00:19:40,853
'cause that's the closest
you'll get to that office.
339
00:19:40,895 --> 00:19:43,656
Welcome to the first day
of the rest of your life.
340
00:19:43,698 --> 00:19:47,460
Mike. Look, Mike.
341
00:19:47,502 --> 00:19:49,462
Well, that can't be right.
That's got to be a hack.
342
00:19:49,504 --> 00:19:50,863
-It says--
-Yeah.
343
00:19:50,905 --> 00:19:52,705
That the entire portfolio
is wiped out.
344
00:19:52,747 --> 00:19:55,388
Whatever you think you're doing,
it's not gonna work.
345
00:19:55,430 --> 00:19:58,553
Not "doing," Mike. Done.
346
00:20:07,443 --> 00:20:09,603
Getting into the portfolio now.
347
00:20:09,645 --> 00:20:11,485
Have the chopper blades spinning
when we get there.
348
00:20:11,527 --> 00:20:14,168
Scooter, you'll go from
the heliport right to the SEC,
349
00:20:14,210 --> 00:20:16,212
-get this cleared up.
-Got it.
350
00:20:17,814 --> 00:20:19,816
It's not letting me
do anything.
351
00:20:21,378 --> 00:20:22,737
I'm locked out.
352
00:20:22,779 --> 00:20:23,978
Drive!
353
00:20:30,547 --> 00:20:32,267
-Fun.
-Well, it's about that time.
354
00:20:32,309 --> 00:20:34,470
-I'm ready.
-This part should be--
355
00:20:34,512 --> 00:20:36,191
-Exhilarating?
-Delightful?
356
00:20:36,233 --> 00:20:40,116
I was gonna say "fucking nuts,"
but yeah, all of it.
357
00:20:40,158 --> 00:20:42,280
Yep. Let's go.
358
00:20:45,844 --> 00:20:47,846
This is a...
359
00:20:48,326 --> 00:20:50,609
weird thing
to say to a peer, but...
360
00:20:51,610 --> 00:20:53,129
I'm proud of you.
361
00:20:53,171 --> 00:20:56,933
Regardless of whatever
we pull off or don't.
362
00:20:56,975 --> 00:20:59,138
The end result here
isn't really in doubt.
363
00:21:00,459 --> 00:21:01,939
So that's the country's future.
364
00:21:01,981 --> 00:21:03,983
What about your future?
365
00:21:05,064 --> 00:21:06,303
I'd ask you same.
366
00:21:08,908 --> 00:21:11,589
You know, I didn't think
going on as before--
367
00:21:11,631 --> 00:21:14,953
either version of before,
for either of us--
368
00:21:14,995 --> 00:21:16,234
was gonna be an option.
369
00:21:16,276 --> 00:21:18,516
Yes. And yet the temptation.
370
00:21:18,558 --> 00:21:20,559
Isn't that the thing.
371
00:21:20,601 --> 00:21:22,921
You know, if you had looked
at each of us
372
00:21:22,963 --> 00:21:24,523
the day before
we got into this business,
373
00:21:24,565 --> 00:21:26,004
you would have said,
"Ah, there's the one.
374
00:21:26,046 --> 00:21:28,047
There's the thread
that can go
375
00:21:28,089 --> 00:21:31,452
through the smallest eye
of the smallest needle."
376
00:21:33,895 --> 00:21:36,055
-Alas.
-No. Yes. Alas.
377
00:21:36,097 --> 00:21:38,217
But perhaps this gives us
the chance
378
00:21:38,259 --> 00:21:39,739
to pull up out of the nosedive.
379
00:21:39,781 --> 00:21:42,101
Problem is, the money
does the same thing
380
00:21:42,143 --> 00:21:44,986
that flying through the clouds
without instruments does.
381
00:21:45,988 --> 00:21:47,868
You can't tell which way is up,
382
00:21:47,910 --> 00:21:49,830
which is down,
383
00:21:49,872 --> 00:21:51,952
and you don't know you're
spinning until it's too late.
384
00:21:51,994 --> 00:21:53,594
Unless you have a great co-pilot
385
00:21:53,636 --> 00:21:55,035
who's monitoring
the instruments.
386
00:21:55,077 --> 00:21:56,717
Thanks for being mine.
387
00:21:56,759 --> 00:21:59,202
Even when I thought
I wanted to fly solo.
388
00:22:00,523 --> 00:22:02,283
Same, Taylor.
389
00:22:02,325 --> 00:22:04,327
Right back at you.
390
00:22:10,494 --> 00:22:12,974
The chair of the SEC
is expecting you.
391
00:22:13,016 --> 00:22:16,178
You need to go over there
and get on an open line
392
00:22:16,220 --> 00:22:17,659
with the heads
of the exchanges,
393
00:22:17,701 --> 00:22:19,501
and with a steady but firm hand
394
00:22:19,543 --> 00:22:22,464
ensure that no trading halts
are instituted.
395
00:22:22,506 --> 00:22:24,386
And that no trades
are reversed.
396
00:22:24,428 --> 00:22:26,469
To be sure, because no doubt
they'll come asking.
397
00:22:26,511 --> 00:22:29,151
-Demanding.
-That's why you need to do it.
398
00:22:29,193 --> 00:22:33,876
I'll get it all done. And while
I say this with great affection,
399
00:22:33,918 --> 00:22:36,479
I look forward to not
working together with you
400
00:22:36,521 --> 00:22:38,441
for a good long while, Chuck.
401
00:22:38,483 --> 00:22:40,485
As do I, Miss Mahar.
402
00:22:59,105 --> 00:23:01,187
Find me Wendy fucking Rhoades.
403
00:23:03,950 --> 00:23:05,953
She's actually here?
404
00:23:17,365 --> 00:23:19,885
What is so fucking wrong
about me
405
00:23:19,927 --> 00:23:23,409
that you're sure I shouldn't
be fucking president?
406
00:23:23,451 --> 00:23:25,371
Why don't we start
with how you act
407
00:23:25,413 --> 00:23:27,293
when things don't go
your fucking way.
408
00:23:27,335 --> 00:23:31,019
Now multiply that by a factor
of your finger on the trigger.
409
00:23:45,515 --> 00:23:47,315
You can all
do me the courtesy
410
00:23:47,357 --> 00:23:50,760
of getting the fuck
out of my office before...
411
00:23:53,403 --> 00:23:56,284
Another rough-and-tumble day
on Wall Street, I see.
412
00:23:56,326 --> 00:23:57,846
Governor, uh,
much to talk about here,
413
00:23:57,888 --> 00:23:59,487
but I have something
to deal with first.
414
00:23:59,529 --> 00:24:01,570
Not so much, I'm afraid.
415
00:24:01,612 --> 00:24:03,412
Hi, Axe.
416
00:24:03,454 --> 00:24:05,456
I want to thank you
for your counsel.
417
00:24:07,178 --> 00:24:09,220
Oh, shit.
418
00:24:10,661 --> 00:24:14,664
So, aside from the best veal
in the city,
419
00:24:14,706 --> 00:24:16,586
what can you really offer me?
420
00:24:16,628 --> 00:24:18,948
A revived candidacy
421
00:24:18,990 --> 00:24:22,113
and an open road
to the nomination.
422
00:24:26,358 --> 00:24:27,878
Truth is,
423
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:29,760
whatever he proposes,
424
00:24:29,802 --> 00:24:32,202
I could never be his VP,
425
00:24:32,244 --> 00:24:34,725
because I never want him
to be president.
426
00:24:34,767 --> 00:24:36,447
Not after what he said
about nukes.
427
00:24:36,489 --> 00:24:38,809
The way he never gets there
428
00:24:38,851 --> 00:24:41,012
is by you joining
his ticket now.
429
00:24:41,054 --> 00:24:43,775
When he topples,
you'll move up.
430
00:24:43,817 --> 00:24:46,137
You won't have to wait
very long,
431
00:24:46,179 --> 00:24:48,221
but you got to do it
just as I say.
432
00:24:50,303 --> 00:24:52,386
See, we need to get him
off the grid.
433
00:24:56,190 --> 00:24:58,470
Mike, I'm here
to let you know I'm out,
434
00:24:58,512 --> 00:25:01,073
as in off your ticket.
435
00:25:01,115 --> 00:25:03,035
But very much
still in the race.
436
00:25:03,077 --> 00:25:05,998
I am reaffirming
my own candidacy shortly,
437
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:07,640
and I'll be taking back
my supporters,
438
00:25:07,682 --> 00:25:09,162
my campaign apparatus.
439
00:25:09,204 --> 00:25:11,524
You're making
a rash decision here.
440
00:25:11,566 --> 00:25:13,568
Bradford,
don't walk out on me.
441
00:25:15,090 --> 00:25:16,970
I'm still a viable candidate.
442
00:25:17,012 --> 00:25:18,411
The nation is ready
to follow me.
443
00:25:18,453 --> 00:25:20,494
You saw me with the president.
444
00:25:20,536 --> 00:25:22,576
I'm ready for this.
It's my time.
445
00:25:22,618 --> 00:25:24,057
I don't think so, Mike.
446
00:25:24,099 --> 00:25:25,659
It's never happened that
the whole premise
447
00:25:25,701 --> 00:25:26,980
for a candidacy
has been erased.
448
00:25:27,022 --> 00:25:29,143
But today... it happened.
449
00:25:29,185 --> 00:25:31,265
You were the self-made
rich candidate,
450
00:25:31,307 --> 00:25:33,187
and now you're not.
451
00:25:33,229 --> 00:25:34,989
There's no coming back
from this.
452
00:25:35,031 --> 00:25:36,471
Not in this election cycle,
anyway.
453
00:25:36,513 --> 00:25:38,192
I get it.
454
00:25:38,234 --> 00:25:41,356
The consultant jumps off
the sinking ship like a rat.
455
00:25:41,398 --> 00:25:44,199
Can't catch any air
once you're underwater.
456
00:25:44,241 --> 00:25:46,281
If you find yourself
at loose ends, Bradford,
457
00:25:46,323 --> 00:25:49,164
Wendy Rhoades did tip me
to your skills,
458
00:25:49,206 --> 00:25:51,368
and I have a spot for you.
459
00:25:52,690 --> 00:25:54,570
Were you with them?
460
00:25:54,612 --> 00:25:56,614
Nope.
461
00:25:57,295 --> 00:25:59,297
Nope.
462
00:25:59,617 --> 00:26:01,978
But, uh,
I am going with her.
463
00:26:02,020 --> 00:26:05,702
Well, welcome aboard
a very seaworthy ship.
464
00:26:05,744 --> 00:26:07,423
Glad to be aboard,
Governor.
465
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,479
And?
466
00:26:22,521 --> 00:26:24,281
Exchanges won't be halting
any trading.
467
00:26:24,323 --> 00:26:26,524
The SEC won't have the exchanges
reverse the trades.
468
00:26:26,566 --> 00:26:28,246
They're honoring them.
469
00:26:28,288 --> 00:26:30,888
In the face of blatant sabotage
and market manipulation?
470
00:26:30,930 --> 00:26:32,570
They said there was
a federal investigation
471
00:26:32,612 --> 00:26:33,932
into collusion in the sector.
472
00:26:33,974 --> 00:26:35,814
Chuck Rhoades, no doubt.
473
00:26:35,856 --> 00:26:38,016
And that it was their mandate
to protect the counterparties
474
00:26:38,058 --> 00:26:39,618
to all our trades.
475
00:26:39,660 --> 00:26:41,139
Who is the "they"
besides the SEC chair
476
00:26:41,181 --> 00:26:42,461
who's shoveling this shit?
477
00:26:42,503 --> 00:26:43,702
Dave Mahar was there,
478
00:26:43,744 --> 00:26:45,063
in various capacities.
479
00:26:45,105 --> 00:26:47,108
Goddamn fix is in
across the board.
480
00:26:50,071 --> 00:26:53,953
How is it that all of the firm's
capital, levered three to one,
481
00:26:53,995 --> 00:26:56,155
got concentrated
into six nat gas stocks
482
00:26:56,197 --> 00:26:58,878
that all happened
to be under investigation
483
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:00,960
for an international scandal?
484
00:27:01,002 --> 00:27:03,123
And then we bottom-ticked
the market on the liquidation,
485
00:27:03,165 --> 00:27:04,724
leaving us completely wiped out?
486
00:27:04,766 --> 00:27:06,006
Worse than wiped out.
487
00:27:06,048 --> 00:27:07,687
Actually,
we went negative equity.
488
00:27:07,729 --> 00:27:09,369
The risk management algo
set the parameters
489
00:27:09,411 --> 00:27:13,053
as per your orders, and...
we never disobey.
490
00:27:13,095 --> 00:27:15,256
Must've been a glitch
which, I'm sorry to say, Mike,
491
00:27:15,298 --> 00:27:16,737
lowered us below
our capital reserves,
492
00:27:16,779 --> 00:27:18,539
prompting margin calls.
493
00:27:18,581 --> 00:27:20,381
And the fund was unable
to meet the margin calls
494
00:27:20,423 --> 00:27:22,665
without pledging
the private equity stakes.
495
00:27:29,433 --> 00:27:32,754
This is midnight
at the costume ball.
496
00:27:32,796 --> 00:27:36,278
All masks off.
I know it was you.
497
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,163
You played me
with that loyalty act.
498
00:27:40,524 --> 00:27:42,725
And you, Kate,
499
00:27:42,767 --> 00:27:44,086
you ratted them out to me
500
00:27:44,128 --> 00:27:45,688
so that I'd trust you
and Philip.
501
00:27:45,730 --> 00:27:47,850
And to ferret out
the extent of the surveillance.
502
00:27:47,892 --> 00:27:49,492
You're too smart, Mike.
503
00:27:49,534 --> 00:27:51,054
We knew you'd catch them
sooner or later.
504
00:27:51,096 --> 00:27:52,335
I suggested sooner.
505
00:27:52,377 --> 00:27:53,656
Disbarment be damned.
506
00:27:53,698 --> 00:27:55,338
I turned them in to you.
507
00:27:55,380 --> 00:27:57,901
If you recall, I recommended
you fire the lot of them.
508
00:27:57,943 --> 00:27:59,302
What am I guilty of?
509
00:27:59,344 --> 00:28:01,346
Talking to them
once you decided not to?
510
00:28:02,187 --> 00:28:03,627
How did they convince you?
511
00:28:03,669 --> 00:28:05,309
It couldn't have been money.
512
00:28:05,351 --> 00:28:08,152
Once they got me to see past
my personal interests,
513
00:28:08,194 --> 00:28:10,875
my own political future,
514
00:28:10,917 --> 00:28:12,877
it was clear.
515
00:28:12,919 --> 00:28:14,478
How much did we leave
on the table?
516
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:15,760
Besides hearts and guts?
517
00:28:15,802 --> 00:28:17,562
How much?
518
00:28:17,604 --> 00:28:19,804
Projections are, by the time
the company's mature--
519
00:28:19,846 --> 00:28:21,848
1.4 billion.
520
00:28:23,330 --> 00:28:25,050
You made sure we lost
a big piece of business
521
00:28:25,092 --> 00:28:26,892
so the authority for
the huge trades would go to Wags
522
00:28:26,934 --> 00:28:28,373
and then to Philip,
523
00:28:28,415 --> 00:28:29,815
the one person I could trust.
524
00:28:29,857 --> 00:28:31,136
Because he's mine.
525
00:28:31,178 --> 00:28:32,618
We lost that helium trade
526
00:28:32,660 --> 00:28:34,179
because we were unable
to do a deal
527
00:28:34,221 --> 00:28:35,901
at that scale
without your sign-off.
528
00:28:35,943 --> 00:28:38,023
What you took from that,
all the subsequent decisions,
529
00:28:38,065 --> 00:28:39,625
those were yours
and yours alone.
530
00:28:39,667 --> 00:28:41,587
I, uh...I hate to interrupt,
531
00:28:41,629 --> 00:28:43,631
but one of my favorite
TV shows is on.
532
00:28:45,273 --> 00:28:47,994
And I heard the rumors, too,
533
00:28:48,036 --> 00:28:49,676
about corruption and collusion
534
00:28:49,718 --> 00:28:51,197
by the top American
natural gas companies
535
00:28:51,239 --> 00:28:52,759
with some hostile nations.
536
00:28:52,801 --> 00:28:54,441
And there were leaks
537
00:28:54,483 --> 00:28:56,403
from various branches
of law enforcement.
538
00:28:56,445 --> 00:28:57,925
But after a penetrating
investigation
539
00:28:57,967 --> 00:29:00,047
by the Southern District
of New York,
540
00:29:00,089 --> 00:29:03,971
these vicious rumors
are just that: rumors.
541
00:29:04,013 --> 00:29:05,813
While actors from adversarial
foreign governments
542
00:29:05,855 --> 00:29:07,935
did approach these companies
543
00:29:07,977 --> 00:29:10,058
in an attempt to convince them
to hold back supply
544
00:29:10,100 --> 00:29:11,859
and inflate prices,
545
00:29:11,901 --> 00:29:14,222
these entreaties were rebuffed.
546
00:29:14,264 --> 00:29:16,344
Forcefully.
547
00:29:16,386 --> 00:29:19,668
And so we are closing
this investigation.
548
00:29:19,710 --> 00:29:22,671
These companies
and this sector are healthy.
549
00:29:22,713 --> 00:29:24,273
Robust, even.
550
00:29:24,315 --> 00:29:26,034
Any short-term
collateral damage
551
00:29:26,076 --> 00:29:27,916
that was done is unfortunate,
552
00:29:27,958 --> 00:29:31,080
but that is the nature
of the free market.
553
00:29:31,122 --> 00:29:33,805
Those positions
are all going to rebound...
554
00:29:34,846 --> 00:29:36,125
but you've sold them off.
555
00:29:36,167 --> 00:29:38,209
The algo directed
they be sold off.
556
00:29:40,051 --> 00:29:43,213
My God.
Comanche Gas H.O.D.
557
00:29:43,255 --> 00:29:44,895
Western Plains H.O.D.
558
00:29:44,937 --> 00:29:46,656
Marcellus Shale H.O.D.
559
00:29:46,698 --> 00:29:48,298
All going out
at the high of the day.
560
00:29:48,340 --> 00:29:50,981
And we're completely sold?
561
00:29:51,023 --> 00:29:52,903
As U.S.
Attorney Rhoades mentioned,
562
00:29:52,945 --> 00:29:54,945
there had been some rumors
about collusion.
563
00:29:54,987 --> 00:29:57,067
We did our investigation,
and we were very quickly able
564
00:29:57,109 --> 00:29:59,510
to gain cooperation
from the companies in question,
565
00:29:59,552 --> 00:30:01,833
as they had nothing to hide.
566
00:30:01,875 --> 00:30:03,634
We are going to get
to the source
567
00:30:03,676 --> 00:30:05,316
of these leaks and rumors,
I promise you that.
568
00:30:05,358 --> 00:30:06,558
That is priority one.
569
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:07,839
I can take specific questions,
570
00:30:07,881 --> 00:30:09,080
as I'm sure there are many.
571
00:30:13,727 --> 00:30:16,448
The last time I was part
of something this sweet,
572
00:30:16,490 --> 00:30:18,250
Gust Avrakotos
and Charlie Wilson
573
00:30:18,292 --> 00:30:19,812
high-fived me
at the end of it.
574
00:30:19,854 --> 00:30:21,574
Not sure even I have
the security clearance
575
00:30:21,616 --> 00:30:22,935
to hear about that one
right now.
576
00:30:22,977 --> 00:30:24,417
If it was anything like this,
577
00:30:24,459 --> 00:30:26,218
it must've floated you
for quite a while.
578
00:30:26,260 --> 00:30:27,900
For a night.
579
00:30:27,942 --> 00:30:29,862
Next day, I was ready
to get back to work.
580
00:30:29,904 --> 00:30:32,745
Which is why I have you two
so close by at all times.
581
00:30:32,787 --> 00:30:34,828
Because I feel much the same.
582
00:30:34,870 --> 00:30:37,190
You know, Chuck, when you talked
me into coming aboard at SDNY,
583
00:30:37,232 --> 00:30:38,431
you promised
I'd feel this way.
584
00:30:38,473 --> 00:30:40,113
Like I actually helped
585
00:30:40,155 --> 00:30:42,075
to do something good.
586
00:30:42,117 --> 00:30:44,358
I want more of it.
Need more.
587
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:45,599
We all do.
588
00:30:45,641 --> 00:30:47,481
And, like Allerd said,
589
00:30:47,523 --> 00:30:51,085
tomorrow we will get cracking
on just those kinds of projects.
590
00:30:51,127 --> 00:30:53,848
But tonight,
I'm gonna hang with my kids.
591
00:30:53,890 --> 00:30:56,651
Both of you go have fun, rest,
or whatever it is you do
592
00:30:56,693 --> 00:30:58,413
when you're officially
off the clock.
593
00:30:58,455 --> 00:30:59,894
Good call. Karl,
594
00:30:59,936 --> 00:31:01,816
you wanna come grab
dinner with Taiga and me?
595
00:31:01,858 --> 00:31:05,580
Normally I don't like
third-wheeling it, but... yes.
596
00:31:05,622 --> 00:31:07,903
Good. Good. Excellent.
597
00:31:07,945 --> 00:31:10,588
Excellent work all around.
598
00:31:15,633 --> 00:31:17,793
Scooter, I started
with much less.
599
00:31:17,835 --> 00:31:19,835
We both did.
600
00:31:19,877 --> 00:31:22,600
Time to roll it back up again,
my loyal friend.
601
00:31:27,125 --> 00:31:28,805
I'm sure you will, Mike.
602
00:31:28,847 --> 00:31:30,807
But you'll have to do it alone.
603
00:31:30,849 --> 00:31:32,851
It's time for me
to go it on my own.
604
00:31:34,693 --> 00:31:36,333
I can't lose you.
605
00:31:36,375 --> 00:31:37,935
Not now.
606
00:31:37,977 --> 00:31:39,376
If I assess this
for what it is,
607
00:31:39,418 --> 00:31:41,538
it was an expensive lesson--
608
00:31:41,580 --> 00:31:43,060
very expensive--
609
00:31:43,102 --> 00:31:45,343
in hubris and
self-aggrandizement run amok.
610
00:31:45,385 --> 00:31:47,425
You know that's not
what we set out to do.
611
00:31:47,467 --> 00:31:49,667
You know our intentions
were of the highest aims,
612
00:31:49,709 --> 00:31:51,589
despite what those assholes
down there think.
613
00:31:51,631 --> 00:31:54,032
But you have to know
we suffered...
614
00:31:54,074 --> 00:31:55,633
drift, I guess you'd call it.
615
00:31:55,675 --> 00:31:57,716
A degree off
on the compass heading
616
00:31:57,758 --> 00:31:59,157
on a long enough journey,
617
00:31:59,199 --> 00:32:00,999
you end up far
from your destination.
618
00:32:01,041 --> 00:32:03,161
You end up lost. We did.
619
00:32:03,203 --> 00:32:04,843
I did.
620
00:32:04,885 --> 00:32:07,086
I failed to help you steer,
621
00:32:07,128 --> 00:32:08,647
and this is where we've landed.
622
00:32:08,689 --> 00:32:10,209
Broke and broken.
623
00:32:10,251 --> 00:32:13,653
Our mission was righteous.
624
00:32:13,695 --> 00:32:15,495
We just ran into a snag.
625
00:32:15,537 --> 00:32:17,577
Our mission is something
I will be unpacking
626
00:32:17,619 --> 00:32:18,978
for a long time to come.
627
00:32:19,020 --> 00:32:21,981
I can't say I committed
blindly to it.
628
00:32:22,023 --> 00:32:23,944
But I was blinded along the way
629
00:32:23,986 --> 00:32:26,306
by my sense of fealty.
630
00:32:26,348 --> 00:32:28,268
Loyalty to you.
631
00:32:28,310 --> 00:32:31,874
By your generosity,
focus, brilliance.
632
00:32:33,756 --> 00:32:35,758
By our shared history.
633
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:41,602
In the end, the deal I made
with myself was a someday deal.
634
00:32:41,644 --> 00:32:43,564
And that day came sooner
than I imagined,
635
00:32:43,606 --> 00:32:44,926
and with harsher weather.
636
00:32:44,968 --> 00:32:47,651
But it's here
all the same, so...
637
00:32:49,973 --> 00:32:51,975
Yeah.
638
00:32:52,536 --> 00:32:54,538
Done.
639
00:33:00,985 --> 00:33:03,267
Where does that leave me
after all this?
640
00:33:04,949 --> 00:33:08,513
In a reflective place,
after the swelling goes down.
641
00:33:09,554 --> 00:33:11,034
You accept that this happened.
642
00:33:11,076 --> 00:33:12,795
You figure out why.
643
00:33:12,837 --> 00:33:14,840
You go home and start over.
644
00:33:16,361 --> 00:33:20,446
As it ever has been for men
like you over the centuries.
645
00:33:37,223 --> 00:33:39,744
You've orchestrated this thing
646
00:33:39,786 --> 00:33:42,067
like Phil Spector did
"River Deep."
647
00:33:42,109 --> 00:33:45,430
Perhaps not who I'd have used
to make the point, but, yes,
648
00:33:45,472 --> 00:33:47,873
we put together a wrecking crew
and let them play,
649
00:33:47,915 --> 00:33:49,114
much as he did.
650
00:33:49,156 --> 00:33:51,797
Watched it all happening
on here.
651
00:33:51,839 --> 00:33:53,719
Real toe-tapper.
652
00:33:53,761 --> 00:33:56,282
I assume you made sure
to be invisible
653
00:33:56,324 --> 00:33:58,004
in the carrying out
of your duties?
654
00:33:58,046 --> 00:34:00,046
Have you known me
to be otherwise?
655
00:34:00,088 --> 00:34:01,768
Yes. Almost solely.
656
00:34:01,810 --> 00:34:05,091
So I need to know, Dad,
that you covered your tracks
657
00:34:05,133 --> 00:34:08,054
when you planted the stories
about the natural gas companies
658
00:34:08,096 --> 00:34:12,379
because I put someone good,
and I mean very good, on this.
659
00:34:12,421 --> 00:34:14,901
Of course.
You told me to cover my tracks,
660
00:34:14,943 --> 00:34:16,143
I covered my tracks.
661
00:34:16,185 --> 00:34:18,786
They will arrive at me
662
00:34:18,828 --> 00:34:21,949
after they find the...
the grassy knoll gunman
663
00:34:21,991 --> 00:34:24,632
and who killed Jimmy Hoffa.
664
00:34:24,674 --> 00:34:26,676
Good. Real good.
665
00:34:27,597 --> 00:34:29,277
Fantastic.
666
00:34:29,319 --> 00:34:31,321
-I should get back to it.
-Chuck.
667
00:34:32,923 --> 00:34:35,165
You did great.
668
00:34:36,927 --> 00:34:38,927
You marshaled all resources.
669
00:34:38,969 --> 00:34:41,330
You partnered with a man
670
00:34:41,372 --> 00:34:43,732
you'd tangled with
for almost a decade.
671
00:34:43,774 --> 00:34:46,415
You set that aside to take out
a bigger threat.
672
00:34:46,457 --> 00:34:49,658
That's advanced.
That's elevated.
673
00:34:49,700 --> 00:34:51,420
That's the kind of thing
that gives me comfort
674
00:34:51,462 --> 00:34:53,102
for what happens after I'm gone.
675
00:34:54,786 --> 00:34:57,266
Let's hope that's
a long time from now.
676
00:34:57,308 --> 00:34:58,668
It'll be when it'll be.
677
00:34:58,710 --> 00:35:00,712
The point is...
678
00:35:01,873 --> 00:35:04,196
I now know
that you'll be fine.
679
00:35:05,998 --> 00:35:08,801
You've learned all the lessons
I have to teach and then some.
680
00:35:10,162 --> 00:35:12,164
It's all inside you.
681
00:35:13,406 --> 00:35:14,965
You know, Pop,
I've long held
682
00:35:15,007 --> 00:35:19,891
that the two heaviest letters
in the alphabet
683
00:35:19,933 --> 00:35:21,853
were J and R.
684
00:35:21,895 --> 00:35:26,137
But now, after what we've been
through together in this last,
685
00:35:26,179 --> 00:35:28,462
they've started to feel
just right.
686
00:35:40,194 --> 00:35:42,915
Now that you're...you're wearing
the Junior mantle easier...
687
00:35:42,957 --> 00:35:44,717
Mm.
688
00:35:44,759 --> 00:35:49,041
...maybe stop slumping about
the shoulders when you walk.
689
00:35:49,083 --> 00:35:53,446
Have some personal pride in
your gait, for Christ's sakes.
690
00:35:53,488 --> 00:35:55,610
You're still a Rhoades.
691
00:36:09,826 --> 00:36:12,186
Found these guys
on the way in.
692
00:36:12,228 --> 00:36:16,270
We got the text inviting us
to come see something special?
693
00:36:16,312 --> 00:36:17,552
What...
694
00:36:17,594 --> 00:36:19,596
um...
695
00:36:20,277 --> 00:36:22,279
What happened here?
696
00:36:28,926 --> 00:36:33,329
Mike, hear this
in the manner I mean it.
697
00:36:33,371 --> 00:36:34,690
Not as a dig,
698
00:36:34,732 --> 00:36:36,892
or to rub your face
in the situation.
699
00:36:36,934 --> 00:36:39,015
Not about that at all.
700
00:36:39,057 --> 00:36:40,977
But...
701
00:36:41,019 --> 00:36:43,299
I'd like to assume the lease
to this place.
702
00:36:43,341 --> 00:36:44,701
Take it off your hands.
703
00:36:44,743 --> 00:36:46,985
Uh-huh. Of course you do.
704
00:36:51,390 --> 00:36:53,070
So this is it.
705
00:36:53,112 --> 00:36:55,672
Hey, man, endings are tough.
706
00:36:55,714 --> 00:36:57,837
Someone always ends up
unsatisfied.
707
00:36:59,278 --> 00:37:01,280
Truer thing never said.
708
00:37:02,562 --> 00:37:06,043
I don't mind admitting
I'm a bit rattled right now.
709
00:37:06,085 --> 00:37:08,087
Standing eight count.
I'll get my wind back.
710
00:37:09,569 --> 00:37:12,690
You have to know I'm going
to sue the lot of you
711
00:37:12,732 --> 00:37:15,133
and see to it that criminal
charges are brought.
712
00:37:15,175 --> 00:37:16,735
I think you're gonna find
a road to that
713
00:37:16,777 --> 00:37:19,498
that's very steep
and slippery.
714
00:37:19,540 --> 00:37:21,019
And expensive,
715
00:37:21,061 --> 00:37:23,302
which may present
some difficulty.
716
00:37:23,344 --> 00:37:25,344
But if you decide to persist,
717
00:37:25,386 --> 00:37:27,386
please refer
all legal action
718
00:37:27,428 --> 00:37:30,669
to Orrin Bach here,
my general counsel.
719
00:37:30,711 --> 00:37:33,392
You gonna finally come on
and do this for me, Orrin?
720
00:37:33,434 --> 00:37:36,356
Why not? You'll take up
all my time anyway,
721
00:37:36,398 --> 00:37:39,601
but... I'm delighted
to make it official.
722
00:37:41,163 --> 00:37:44,446
So, yeah, Mike, this is
what it's like to lose.
723
00:37:46,688 --> 00:37:48,048
I bet that felt good.
724
00:37:48,090 --> 00:37:50,092
That one did, yeah.
725
00:37:51,213 --> 00:37:53,173
I read all about your deposits
726
00:37:53,215 --> 00:37:56,016
in those black-owned banks
through Killer Mike.
727
00:37:56,058 --> 00:37:57,818
You've still got
about a hundred million
728
00:37:57,860 --> 00:37:59,500
in those accounts,
don't you?
729
00:37:59,542 --> 00:38:00,741
Just about, yeah.
730
00:38:00,783 --> 00:38:02,503
Well, in Indiana,
731
00:38:02,545 --> 00:38:04,547
that's like being
a billionaire.
732
00:38:07,350 --> 00:38:09,230
That's right.
733
00:38:09,272 --> 00:38:11,275
Yes, it is.
734
00:38:13,597 --> 00:38:15,797
You know what?
735
00:38:15,839 --> 00:38:17,679
Maybe I should be thanking
all you bastards
736
00:38:17,721 --> 00:38:20,723
for giving me a chance
to go out and do it all again.
737
00:38:20,765 --> 00:38:22,204
Spin it up.
738
00:38:22,246 --> 00:38:24,086
You're welcome, then.
739
00:38:24,128 --> 00:38:28,092
Did wonders for me when you
put me in that very position.
740
00:38:43,789 --> 00:38:45,951
This country's built
on second acts.
741
00:38:50,396 --> 00:38:52,156
And when you see mine,
742
00:38:52,198 --> 00:38:54,881
you'd better duck
and fucking cover.
743
00:39:20,788 --> 00:39:23,752
I'm surprised to see so many
long faces in here right now.
744
00:39:24,913 --> 00:39:27,073
Ain't you glad I'm back?
745
00:39:27,115 --> 00:39:28,995
Uh, well, we would be,
746
00:39:29,037 --> 00:39:31,518
but there's the little matter
of the fact that all our money
747
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,281
got fucking wiped out
with Prince's!
748
00:39:34,323 --> 00:39:36,325
Oh, is that the thing?
749
00:39:39,929 --> 00:39:41,529
Did it?
750
00:39:41,571 --> 00:39:43,130
What's on your mind,
commander?
751
00:39:43,172 --> 00:39:44,972
You know I've had a hard time
752
00:39:45,014 --> 00:39:46,614
warming up to the plan.
753
00:39:46,656 --> 00:39:49,417
Siphoning the coffers
of an enemy to near empty?
754
00:39:49,459 --> 00:39:51,539
I wouldn't imagine that would
cause you such problems.
755
00:39:51,581 --> 00:39:53,541
No, Chuck,
as much as I like the idea
756
00:39:53,583 --> 00:39:54,943
of Mike Prince going broke--
757
00:39:54,985 --> 00:39:56,745
And believe me, I do--
758
00:39:56,787 --> 00:40:00,028
I can't help but feeling
this is your guitar solo.
759
00:40:00,070 --> 00:40:03,111
Now I'm fine guesting
in a two-guitar band.
760
00:40:03,153 --> 00:40:04,873
A supergroup,
if you think about it.
761
00:40:04,915 --> 00:40:06,755
Wow, you really are good
at this, the ass-kissing.
762
00:40:06,797 --> 00:40:08,757
Hey, it's heartfelt.
763
00:40:08,799 --> 00:40:11,921
Okay, I know
what's missing for me,
764
00:40:11,963 --> 00:40:14,043
and I'm ready to lay down
my overdub now.
765
00:40:14,085 --> 00:40:16,966
It's not enough
to just break him.
766
00:40:17,008 --> 00:40:20,730
We gotta get everyone else
rich in the process.
767
00:40:20,772 --> 00:40:22,852
Really rich. Wealthy, even.
768
00:40:22,894 --> 00:40:25,295
Well, that ups the degree
of difficulty, doesn't it?
769
00:40:25,337 --> 00:40:28,659
Takes it from a straight bet to
a daily double with an exacta.
770
00:40:28,701 --> 00:40:30,180
That's why the payout's
so good.
771
00:40:30,222 --> 00:40:32,663
But how? If we crash the fund,
it all goes.
772
00:40:32,705 --> 00:40:34,345
Doesn't have to.
773
00:40:34,387 --> 00:40:36,947
We have a little thang
that's been laying fallow
774
00:40:36,989 --> 00:40:39,590
inside the structure
of the company for a while now
775
00:40:39,632 --> 00:40:41,913
known as the Admirals Fund.
776
00:40:41,955 --> 00:40:43,995
-Tell 'em, Wags.
-Little side pocket we had
777
00:40:44,037 --> 00:40:46,478
so the brass could enjoy
the spoils of the best ideas.
778
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:50,882
Cherry-picking trades
for a secret internal fund.
779
00:40:50,924 --> 00:40:53,805
That could look very bad.
780
00:40:53,847 --> 00:40:55,047
Fraudulent, even.
781
00:40:55,089 --> 00:40:56,889
In a certain light, maybe.
782
00:40:56,931 --> 00:41:00,252
But, as I say, it's dormant.
783
00:41:00,294 --> 00:41:02,535
Yeah, Chuck, we're well
past that, aren't we?
784
00:41:02,577 --> 00:41:04,579
Bloodhound can't help
blood-hounding.
785
00:41:05,540 --> 00:41:06,939
But he's all bark now,
786
00:41:06,981 --> 00:41:08,741
and I suppose we all need
our motivators.
787
00:41:08,783 --> 00:41:10,785
Carry on.
788
00:41:11,586 --> 00:41:13,947
We're gonna siphon
the employee money
789
00:41:13,989 --> 00:41:15,508
into the Admirals Fund,
790
00:41:15,550 --> 00:41:17,991
and when the basket of stocks
hits rock-bottom,
791
00:41:18,033 --> 00:41:20,035
we're gonna buy them.
792
00:41:21,357 --> 00:41:24,037
So that's where we are now.
793
00:41:24,079 --> 00:41:26,961
If wiping out Prince
was my masterpiece,
794
00:41:27,003 --> 00:41:30,885
putting the Admirals Fund
with all your money in
795
00:41:30,927 --> 00:41:33,888
on the other side so we could
take him out at the lows,
796
00:41:33,930 --> 00:41:36,292
that is my magnum opus.
797
00:41:39,616 --> 00:41:42,217
I've rarely seen a rocket ride
like this one.
798
00:41:42,259 --> 00:41:44,499
There's nothing like government
799
00:41:44,541 --> 00:41:45,941
clearing these companies,
800
00:41:45,983 --> 00:41:47,342
giving them a clean bill
of health,
801
00:41:47,384 --> 00:41:48,624
to send these stocks soaring
802
00:41:48,666 --> 00:41:50,065
right to the close.
803
00:41:50,107 --> 00:41:52,428
So that's what
you're here to see, Ben.
804
00:41:52,470 --> 00:41:54,029
Tuk.
805
00:41:54,071 --> 00:41:56,031
All of you.
806
00:41:56,073 --> 00:41:58,194
Our shit didn't go down
the tubes.
807
00:41:58,236 --> 00:42:01,557
Yeah. Even though you were too
fucking mercenary to join me,
808
00:42:01,599 --> 00:42:03,601
I let it happen.
809
00:42:04,082 --> 00:42:06,404
We're in the Admirals Fund?
810
00:42:10,969 --> 00:42:12,409
We're in the fucking
Admirals Fund?
811
00:42:12,451 --> 00:42:13,770
We're in
the fucking Admirals Fund!
812
00:42:13,812 --> 00:42:15,853
-Oh, shit!
-Fuck, yeah!
813
00:42:15,895 --> 00:42:17,775
We're in the Admirals Fund!
814
00:42:17,817 --> 00:42:20,177
We're in the Admirals Fund!
815
00:42:20,219 --> 00:42:22,179
Ah!
816
00:42:22,221 --> 00:42:24,784
Uh...am I?
817
00:42:26,986 --> 00:42:29,667
Because, you know, I-I had
your backs the whole time.
818
00:42:29,709 --> 00:42:32,390
What the fuck happened to you?
819
00:42:32,432 --> 00:42:34,953
Spyros, you ran all the way
to Camp David
820
00:42:34,995 --> 00:42:36,995
to try and warn Prince,
didn't you?
821
00:42:37,037 --> 00:42:39,039
The Marine Guards
wouldn't let me in.
822
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:42,080
They're not a good group
to get pushy with.
823
00:42:42,122 --> 00:42:44,123
We included you anyway.
824
00:42:44,165 --> 00:42:46,285
I must be getting soft
in my old age.
825
00:42:46,327 --> 00:42:48,407
So I'm not broke?
826
00:42:48,449 --> 00:42:50,609
- I'm actually...
- Yeah. Rich.
827
00:42:50,651 --> 00:42:52,331
Very fucking rich.
828
00:42:55,697 --> 00:42:56,976
All of you lucky bastards
829
00:42:57,018 --> 00:42:59,459
are up 3X today and rising,
830
00:42:59,501 --> 00:43:00,981
thanks to Bobby Axelrod.
831
00:43:09,752 --> 00:43:12,032
In case any of you
are wondering,
832
00:43:12,074 --> 00:43:15,556
you are now standing in the new
headquarters of Axe Global!
833
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:19,760
And I am looking
for intrepid souls
834
00:43:19,802 --> 00:43:21,963
who are willing to go out
every day
835
00:43:22,005 --> 00:43:26,247
and kill for me in an epic quest
for fucking alpha.
836
00:43:26,289 --> 00:43:28,810
So, who among you
837
00:43:28,852 --> 00:43:32,334
is ready to join me
in my new assault on wealth?
838
00:43:32,376 --> 00:43:33,575
Who's with me?
839
00:43:35,259 --> 00:43:37,261
Yeah!
840
00:43:40,384 --> 00:43:42,665
Yeah! Yeah!
841
00:43:42,707 --> 00:43:45,430
Yeah! Come on!
842
00:43:58,123 --> 00:44:01,645
I heard those hyenas
cheering down there.
843
00:44:01,687 --> 00:44:04,488
I assume Axelrod threw them
some fresh meat.
844
00:44:04,530 --> 00:44:06,130
More or less.
845
00:44:06,172 --> 00:44:08,174
I also assume
you're staying.
846
00:44:09,575 --> 00:44:11,375
Perfect.
847
00:44:11,417 --> 00:44:12,937
I warned you once,
back then,
848
00:44:12,979 --> 00:44:15,059
that things would get dirty
and dangerous.
849
00:44:15,101 --> 00:44:17,181
You more than embraced that,
though, didn't you?
850
00:44:17,223 --> 00:44:19,264
Joining up with that
backstabbing marauder
851
00:44:19,306 --> 00:44:20,585
is the perfect post for you.
852
00:44:20,627 --> 00:44:21,987
It's a wonder
you didn't warn me
853
00:44:22,029 --> 00:44:23,108
what kind of animal
you'd become.
854
00:44:23,150 --> 00:44:24,469
Let me stop you there,
855
00:44:24,511 --> 00:44:25,751
before you really
say some stuff
856
00:44:25,793 --> 00:44:27,112
we're both gonna regret
857
00:44:27,154 --> 00:44:28,714
at the next holiday
get-together.
858
00:44:28,756 --> 00:44:31,156
The holidays?
You have got to be kidding me.
859
00:44:31,198 --> 00:44:33,118
Hey, you're still my uncle.
Family.
860
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:36,602
So, you didn't
take the ride with us.
861
00:44:36,644 --> 00:44:38,444
That wasn't something
I could swing.
862
00:44:38,486 --> 00:44:40,528
But I couldn't let you take
the fall with Prince either.
863
00:44:41,569 --> 00:44:43,571
You're still a rich man.
864
00:44:50,939 --> 00:44:52,941
That is your account.
865
00:44:54,543 --> 00:44:55,943
Kept it sidelined.
866
00:44:55,985 --> 00:44:58,505
Totally
out of the action today.
867
00:44:58,547 --> 00:45:00,548
You're still at about
a hundred mill.
868
00:45:00,590 --> 00:45:02,710
Like Prince ended up.
869
00:45:02,752 --> 00:45:04,754
There's something poetic
in that.
870
00:45:06,676 --> 00:45:10,638
I have gone from a rich man,
to a pauper,
871
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:14,843
back to a rich man
in the course of a single day.
872
00:45:14,885 --> 00:45:17,728
And it has made me realize
what I need to do with my life.
873
00:45:19,209 --> 00:45:21,211
Pick up that baton for real.
874
00:45:22,893 --> 00:45:24,373
My own.
875
00:45:24,415 --> 00:45:26,857
One that belongs to me,
not some legend's.
876
00:45:27,979 --> 00:45:29,538
Find myself on the stage
877
00:45:29,580 --> 00:45:31,661
and in front of an orchestra.
878
00:45:31,703 --> 00:45:33,543
You'll do it, maestro.
879
00:45:33,585 --> 00:45:35,587
I know you will.
880
00:45:53,085 --> 00:45:54,565
Impressive work, man.
881
00:45:54,607 --> 00:45:56,287
Well, you played
an integral part in it.
882
00:45:56,329 --> 00:45:57,808
No way it all happens
without--
883
00:45:57,850 --> 00:45:59,530
No, I just mean climbing up
on that desk.
884
00:45:59,572 --> 00:46:01,412
-Oh.
-Impressive.
885
00:46:01,454 --> 00:46:04,335
Christ, I'd need some Doan's
for the back if I even tried.
886
00:46:04,377 --> 00:46:05,817
Don't fool yourself.
887
00:46:05,859 --> 00:46:08,099
I'm not the same guy
I was when we first met.
888
00:46:08,141 --> 00:46:10,622
I was worried I was gonna roll
my ankle on the dismount.
889
00:46:10,664 --> 00:46:12,666
Yeah. Sure.
890
00:46:14,428 --> 00:46:16,428
You're not
the same guy, either.
891
00:46:16,470 --> 00:46:18,591
-Didn't like that version.
-Hmm.
892
00:46:18,633 --> 00:46:20,392
But the fella standing
in front of me...
893
00:46:20,434 --> 00:46:22,114
Yeah, I know it.
894
00:46:22,156 --> 00:46:25,718
Something about going
through the wars with someone.
895
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:29,042
Yeah, you learn a lot facing
a man, battling against him.
896
00:46:29,084 --> 00:46:30,483
But when you throw in
together...
897
00:46:30,525 --> 00:46:32,205
Absolutely.
898
00:46:32,247 --> 00:46:35,290
Yeah, like Clapton and Winwood
in Blind Faith.
899
00:46:36,291 --> 00:46:37,731
Problem is,
900
00:46:37,773 --> 00:46:40,254
that kind of talent
in one group
901
00:46:40,296 --> 00:46:42,576
can only ever last one album.
902
00:46:42,618 --> 00:46:44,138
Well, I think
the heroin and blow
903
00:46:44,180 --> 00:46:45,619
had more to do
with that breakup,
904
00:46:45,661 --> 00:46:47,341
but I get your point.
905
00:46:47,383 --> 00:46:49,263
At least they got
that one great moment on tape,
906
00:46:49,305 --> 00:46:52,266
together in the studio,
before it blew apart.
907
00:46:52,308 --> 00:46:53,828
Everything does.
908
00:46:53,870 --> 00:46:55,710
Eventually.
909
00:46:55,752 --> 00:46:57,912
Things end.
910
00:46:57,954 --> 00:47:00,837
As our time
working together has to.
911
00:47:02,679 --> 00:47:06,483
I'm going back
to doing what I do, so...
912
00:47:08,165 --> 00:47:10,526
you'd best run this place right.
913
00:47:10,568 --> 00:47:14,210
I once told you
what a badge does to a man.
914
00:47:14,252 --> 00:47:16,692
And as in almost everything,
915
00:47:16,734 --> 00:47:19,217
you were right, Robby.
916
00:47:21,740 --> 00:47:23,980
To that end, Carlos.
917
00:47:24,022 --> 00:47:26,102
And Wags is really gonna hate
that I'm doing this,
918
00:47:26,144 --> 00:47:30,747
but I must have got caught up
in the spirit of togetherness.
919
00:47:32,471 --> 00:47:34,473
Here.
920
00:47:38,117 --> 00:47:40,317
You're hoping this buys you
some indulgences.
921
00:47:40,359 --> 00:47:42,361
Damn straight I am.
922
00:47:44,764 --> 00:47:46,766
Thanks, Axe.
923
00:47:47,767 --> 00:47:49,769
For all of it.
924
00:47:50,170 --> 00:47:51,369
My pleasure.
925
00:47:51,411 --> 00:47:53,852
And to you too, Chuck.
926
00:48:11,432 --> 00:48:12,992
I thought it'd convince you,
927
00:48:13,034 --> 00:48:16,075
that all this today
would be a good pitch.
928
00:48:16,117 --> 00:48:17,717
But you're leaving
for good, aren't you?
929
00:48:17,759 --> 00:48:20,360
Yep. Just like you're staying.
930
00:48:20,402 --> 00:48:22,162
Yeah, I am.
931
00:48:22,204 --> 00:48:24,446
It's where I'm meant to be.
932
00:48:26,288 --> 00:48:28,290
You sure?
933
00:48:29,572 --> 00:48:31,812
'Cause we could do
great things if you stayed.
934
00:48:31,854 --> 00:48:34,575
Great and vicious things.
935
00:48:34,617 --> 00:48:35,936
I know.
936
00:48:35,978 --> 00:48:37,618
Exactly why I'm leaving.
937
00:48:37,660 --> 00:48:39,823
It's time for me
to be done with that.
938
00:48:41,624 --> 00:48:43,865
My other office
is now available.
939
00:48:43,907 --> 00:48:45,827
Be a great place to run
a philanthropy out of.
940
00:48:45,869 --> 00:48:47,871
It's yours if you want it.
941
00:48:48,272 --> 00:48:49,511
Final act of charity
942
00:48:49,553 --> 00:48:51,513
I'll be doing today.
943
00:49:12,617 --> 00:49:14,337
I bet you think
I want to rub it in.
944
00:49:14,379 --> 00:49:16,980
I actually
think better of you.
945
00:49:17,022 --> 00:49:19,182
You once offered me the chance,
if I were feeling down,
946
00:49:19,224 --> 00:49:20,984
to come share
some Scotch with you.
947
00:49:21,026 --> 00:49:24,190
I want you to know,
I hope you do the same.
948
00:49:25,831 --> 00:49:28,152
You made me
better at what I do.
949
00:49:28,194 --> 00:49:30,354
In every way.
950
00:49:30,396 --> 00:49:32,637
Are you saying
that's why you bested us?
951
00:49:32,679 --> 00:49:34,841
No. I was kick-ass
at that stuff.
952
00:49:36,122 --> 00:49:37,602
I mean as a human
953
00:49:37,644 --> 00:49:39,646
and second in command.
954
00:49:41,048 --> 00:49:43,050
You're the tops I've seen.
955
00:49:44,251 --> 00:49:46,131
And yet.
956
00:49:46,173 --> 00:49:49,054
It's because you're
a good person you lost.
957
00:49:49,096 --> 00:49:51,096
Not Prince. You.
958
00:49:51,138 --> 00:49:53,179
Oddly,
of little consolation.
959
00:49:53,221 --> 00:49:55,263
But you will come
for that drink?
960
00:49:56,384 --> 00:49:58,384
I think I actually might.
961
00:49:58,426 --> 00:49:59,826
Yes.
962
00:50:19,488 --> 00:50:20,848
Good.
963
00:50:20,890 --> 00:50:23,090
I've been looking forward
to this moment.
964
00:50:23,132 --> 00:50:25,413
An old-fashioned negotiation
for your services
965
00:50:25,455 --> 00:50:28,096
as performance coach
and head of HR.
966
00:50:28,138 --> 00:50:29,537
Or, not to tip my hand,
967
00:50:29,579 --> 00:50:31,419
you looking to expand
your portfolio?
968
00:50:35,025 --> 00:50:36,505
Shit.
969
00:50:36,547 --> 00:50:38,549
You're out too.
970
00:50:43,314 --> 00:50:45,516
I'd really love it
if you stayed, Wend.
971
00:50:47,478 --> 00:50:49,841
I finally made my way back.
This could be like old times.
972
00:50:50,962 --> 00:50:52,642
Part of me would really love to.
973
00:50:52,684 --> 00:50:54,924
But I'm gonna stay at Mental,
974
00:50:54,966 --> 00:50:57,687
that telehealth thing,
and make a go of it.
975
00:50:57,729 --> 00:50:59,731
I'm gonna help a lot of people
from there.
976
00:51:01,173 --> 00:51:03,175
Maybe one day
you'll take me public.
977
00:51:04,777 --> 00:51:06,697
Won't be the same
without you here.
978
00:51:06,739 --> 00:51:08,138
What if I can't do it?
979
00:51:08,180 --> 00:51:10,020
It'll be different,
but you can do it.
980
00:51:10,062 --> 00:51:12,703
And I have the name of someone
981
00:51:12,745 --> 00:51:15,386
who'll be a hell
of a replacement for me too.
982
00:51:15,428 --> 00:51:17,550
And most of the people here
already know Dr. Mayer.
983
00:51:21,474 --> 00:51:24,397
I really didn't want
to say goodbye to you again.
984
00:51:28,482 --> 00:51:30,082
Then don't.
985
00:51:30,124 --> 00:51:33,045
We got through
the shadow of 9/11
986
00:51:33,087 --> 00:51:34,847
and stayed connected.
987
00:51:34,889 --> 00:51:38,130
We got through the arrests,
988
00:51:38,172 --> 00:51:39,852
the rebellions,
989
00:51:39,894 --> 00:51:42,535
the exit,
the rebuilding,
990
00:51:42,577 --> 00:51:45,298
and always
stayed connected.
991
00:51:45,340 --> 00:51:46,819
Where it mattered.
992
00:51:46,861 --> 00:51:48,701
We'll both be
in the same city.
993
00:51:48,743 --> 00:51:50,743
We're the same people.
994
00:51:50,785 --> 00:51:52,788
We'll stay connected now, too.
995
00:51:54,670 --> 00:51:57,433
Just not at this place.
996
00:51:58,914 --> 00:52:00,554
Yeah.
997
00:52:00,596 --> 00:52:03,239
Yeah to all of it.
998
00:52:05,922 --> 00:52:08,004
Thank you, Bobby.
999
00:52:09,165 --> 00:52:11,167
Thank you.
1000
00:52:12,048 --> 00:52:13,287
For everything.
1001
00:53:20,881 --> 00:53:22,721
I kind of hoped
you'd be here waiting.
1002
00:53:22,763 --> 00:53:24,765
No, not kind of. I...
1003
00:53:26,207 --> 00:53:28,209
I hoped you'd be here.
1004
00:53:28,649 --> 00:53:30,652
I'm always here.
1005
00:53:31,973 --> 00:53:33,573
I know.
1006
00:53:33,615 --> 00:53:35,014
You are, too.
1007
00:53:35,056 --> 00:53:36,576
Seems to be true.
1008
00:53:36,618 --> 00:53:38,378
You know, I wasn't sure
he'd let you leave.
1009
00:53:38,420 --> 00:53:40,420
Or you'd be able to resist.
1010
00:53:40,462 --> 00:53:42,504
It's time for me
to find my own way.
1011
00:53:43,665 --> 00:53:45,025
And it's the only way
1012
00:53:45,067 --> 00:53:46,827
that the relationships
can last
1013
00:53:46,869 --> 00:53:49,832
with either of you.
1014
00:53:51,193 --> 00:53:53,196
That's probably true.
1015
00:53:56,319 --> 00:53:58,481
Where are you off to right now?
1016
00:54:00,123 --> 00:54:02,123
I hadn't really
thought about it.
1017
00:54:02,165 --> 00:54:04,045
I was probably just gonna
head back to the house.
1018
00:54:04,087 --> 00:54:06,087
I have the kids tonight.
1019
00:54:06,129 --> 00:54:08,532
I was in the mood
for some tempura or something.
1020
00:54:10,094 --> 00:54:11,493
You want to make it
a family dinner?
1021
00:54:11,535 --> 00:54:14,656
The kids would love that.
Absolutely.
1022
00:54:14,698 --> 00:54:16,701
And so would I.
1023
00:54:34,119 --> 00:54:36,239
Make sure all this shit
gets carefully packed
1024
00:54:36,281 --> 00:54:37,481
and sent to him wherever.
1025
00:54:37,523 --> 00:54:39,002
I will.
1026
00:54:39,044 --> 00:54:40,924
Have the designer get
all that green crap
1027
00:54:40,966 --> 00:54:43,567
off the walls downstairs,
and strip out some of this wood.
1028
00:54:43,609 --> 00:54:46,292
Let's cool this place off a bit.
1029
00:54:49,215 --> 00:54:51,055
Thought about how
you'll redecorate yet?
1030
00:54:51,097 --> 00:54:53,938
I've had other things
on my mind, capo di tutti capi.
1031
00:54:53,980 --> 00:54:56,100
Well, after a victory
such as this,
1032
00:54:56,142 --> 00:54:58,425
things do take a moment
to settle.
1033
00:54:59,506 --> 00:55:01,626
-But...
-Yeah.
1034
00:55:01,668 --> 00:55:03,108
You don't have to say it.
1035
00:55:03,150 --> 00:55:04,509
I will be here with you
1036
00:55:04,551 --> 00:55:06,952
to get this place
cranking again.
1037
00:55:06,994 --> 00:55:09,034
-But then...
-What?
1038
00:55:09,076 --> 00:55:10,476
Miami?
1039
00:55:10,518 --> 00:55:12,037
With all those
other rich fucks?
1040
00:55:12,079 --> 00:55:14,800
You know, it does have
a lot to recommend it.
1041
00:55:14,842 --> 00:55:16,963
It is the center of it all
right now.
1042
00:55:17,005 --> 00:55:19,045
Maybe we take a trip
down together.
1043
00:55:19,087 --> 00:55:21,487
But first, bring 'em in.
1044
00:55:41,631 --> 00:55:43,551
What are our instructions?
1045
00:55:43,593 --> 00:55:45,313
Yeah, Axe, what do you
want us to do?
1046
00:55:45,355 --> 00:55:46,874
Do?
1047
00:55:46,916 --> 00:55:49,237
What do you think
I want you to do?
1048
00:55:54,725 --> 00:55:56,885
Let's make some fucking money.
1049
00:55:56,927 --> 00:55:58,929
All right!
All right, yeah!
1050
00:56:00,291 --> 00:56:02,571
- Fuck, yeah!
- Let's go.
1051
00:56:32,685 --> 00:56:34,687
Whoa!
