00:21:02,135 --> 00:21:03,595
his absence is not relevant.

looking opportunistic--

- I'd rather you didn't,

- but you already did, so...
- LUKAS: Um...
442
00:21:23,281 --> 00:21:27,577
(CLICKS TONGUE) I would like
to propose... an offer.
443
00:21:29,913 --> 00:21:32,124
I want to buy

That's funny.
448
00:21:53,937 --> 00:21:55,564
- One single dollar. Ha ha.
- (LAUGHS) Sorry.
449
00:21:55,564 --> 00:21:58,525
Sorry, man, your face was...
(LAUGHS, GASPS)

00:21:58,525 --> 00:22:02,863
Um. (COUGHS) But I-- I--
I do want ATN though.
451
00:22:02,863 --> 00:22:06,700
Well, no. ATN's off the table.
Dad carved it out.

00:22:06,700 --> 00:22:08,493
LUKAS: Yeah, I-- I'm not sure
it makes sense,
453
00:22:08,493 --> 00:22:10,495
- and I want it back in.

00:22:10,495 --> 00:22:11,913
- LUKAS: Why?
- ROMAN: Why?

Uh... (SIGHS)
457
00:22:17,336 --> 00:22:19,337
I feel like I don't have
to say why, do I?
458
00:22:20,547 --> 00:22:21,965
It's the original deal.
459
00:22:21,965 --> 00:22:24,509
Like it's-- it--
We have the shape.
460
00:22:25,635 --> 00:22:26,720
This can be fast.
461
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,430
You can get the sugar
that you came looking for.
462
00:22:31,099 --> 00:22:32,017
The price is what?
463
00:22:32,017 --> 00:22:33,769
Oh, I don't think
we're at price.
464
00:22:33,769 --> 00:22:35,437

for the whole thing.

00:22:52,996 --> 00:22:54,498
Are you gonna tell me
what you think?
468
00:22:56,083 --> 00:22:58,418
- (SIGHS)
- Yeah, yeah, sure.
469
00:22:58,418 --> 00:23:01,171
- Sure.
- LUKAS: All right, maybe you
guys haven't done this before,
470
00:23:01,171 --> 00:23:04,049
but how it usually works
is I say something...
471
00:23:04,966 --> 00:23:06,093
and then you say something.
472
00:23:06,093 --> 00:23:07,803
'Cause if you don't say
anything, some things
473
00:23:07,803 --> 00:23:10,430

- Can I interrupt you?
And say fuck off.

00:23:13,642 --> 00:23:15,060
we weren't expecting that.
477
00:23:15,060 --> 00:23:17,437
And, uh, I'm not sure
that that works.
478
00:23:17,437 --> 00:23:19,898
- LUKAS: It works.
- (CHUCKLES) Okay.
479
00:23:19,898 --> 00:23:22,150
Yeah, well, we're not sure
that it does work.

00:23:24,027 --> 00:23:25,070
It works.

00:39:53,933 --> 00:39:54,975
Yeah, let's do it.
829
00:39:56,060 --> 00:39:57,645

Let's fucking do it.
830
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:05,569

and then...
834
00:40:15,788 --> 00:40:17,081
(CHUCKLES) I don't have--
835
00:40:17,081 --> 00:40:18,666

very good boundaries.
836
00:40:19,291 --> 00:40:20,292

837
00:40:21,252 --> 00:40:22,419
I'm doing it now.
838
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:27,424
Okay, so I think...
839
00:40:27,424 --> 00:40:30,845
a meaningful bump
gets you over the line.
840
00:40:31,971 --> 00:40:35,224
All right. Oh.
So you're saying...
841
00:40:35,224 --> 00:40:37,852
if I keep offering more
and more money...
842
00:40:39,311 --> 00:40:40,771
eventually, I'll get it.
843
00:40:40,771 --> 00:40:42,314
- Hmm.
- Ah.
844
00:40:42,314 --> 00:40:43,482

Yeah, she's solid.

- Sure.

LUKAS: Well, I...
856
00:41:14,763 --> 00:41:17,558
I might be in a bit of a pickle.
857
00:41:17,558 --> 00:41:20,686
- Uh-huh. Yeah?
- Yeah. People are judging me.
858
00:41:22,021 --> 00:41:23,480
- SHIV: Yeah?
- Yeah.
859
00:41:25,774 --> 00:41:27,193

Well, we're fucked.
864

he broke mine...
867
00:41:46,462 --> 00:41:48,088
and we lost our footing.
868
00:41:49,048 --> 00:41:50,090
I don't know.
869
00:41:52,968 --> 00:41:54,803
Hey, I'm not gonna...
870
00:41:54,803 --> 00:41:58,807
give you the whole backstory
and everything, but, um...
871
00:42:00,017 --> 00:42:02,269
I was-- I was seeing this girl,
872
00:42:03,103 --> 00:42:06,106
and, um, after we broke up...
873
00:42:07,358 --> 00:42:10,361
because of some things
that we said, uh,
874
00:42:10,361 --> 00:42:14,031
when things were nice
and intense, you know,
875
00:42:14,031 --> 00:42:18,494
as sort of a nasty,
uh, friendly joke about--
876
00:42:18,494 --> 00:42:21,705
about what I shouldn't do, um...
877
00:42:22,456 --> 00:42:23,999
I sent her some of my blood.
878
00:42:25,084 --> 00:42:27,294
- Oh, okay.
- Uh...
879
00:42:27,294 --> 00:42:29,547
A half-a-liter
frozen blood brick.
880
00:42:31,048 --> 00:42:34,510
- As a joke, obviously.
- Uh, half a liter?
881
00:42:35,094 --> 00:42:36,053
- Yeah.
- Wow.
882
00:42:36,053 --> 00:42:38,514
- And then--
- Well, I mean, obviously,
883
00:42:38,514 --> 00:42:41,433
- first of all, good one.
- Yeah.
884
00:42:42,351 --> 00:42:43,519
Um...
885
00:42:43,519 --> 00:42:49,024
Well, she got a bit weirded
when I did that, but I, uh...
886
00:42:49,024 --> 00:42:53,153
Um, I just kept doing it.
Again, and again, and again.
887
00:42:53,153 --> 00:42:55,781
And then, it--
it became not a joke...
888
00:42:56,824 --> 00:42:57,992
and then a joke again.
889
00:42:57,992 --> 00:43:02,246
And... and now, it's...
apparently not a joke.
890
00:43:04,373 --> 00:43:06,208
- Uh-huh.
- Yeah.
891
00:43:07,167 --> 00:43:08,252
Uh, this is...
892
00:43:09,753 --> 00:43:11,463
Uh, well, who is this?
893
00:43:12,089 --> 00:43:13,132
It's Ebba.
894
00:43:14,675 --> 00:43:16,885
Actually, it's, uh...
895
00:43:16,885 --> 00:43:20,806
Yeah. It's a bit--
It-- it's a bit, uh...
896
00:43:21,807 --> 00:43:25,686
- A com-- complex situation.
- Hmm.
897
00:43:25,686 --> 00:43:27,354
LUKAS: But what--
I'll-- I'll just...
898
00:43:28,314 --> 00:43:29,315
deny it, right?
899
00:43:29,315 --> 00:43:32,609
I'll call bullshit
and just lawyer it out.
900
00:43:32,609 --> 00:43:35,612
Oh, well, yeah.
Deniability is difficult,
901
00:43:35,612 --> 00:43:39,199
given she has so much
of your blood.
902
00:43:40,409 --> 00:43:41,410
Uh...
903
00:43:42,369 --> 00:43:44,038
Man, your head of comms?
904
00:43:44,038 --> 00:43:46,540
I don't know who you got
advising you on this,
905
00:43:46,540 --> 00:43:48,375
but whatever
they're telling you,
906
00:43:48,375 --> 00:43:49,835
you gotta 10x it.
907
00:43:49,835 --> 00:43:52,129
'Cause people, you know,
people don't know you,
908
00:43:52,129 --> 00:43:54,131
and if this acquisition
goes through,
909
00:43:54,131 --> 00:43:56,884

be all over you.

912

dripping into an IV bag,
913
00:44:02,181 --> 00:44:04,600
and harassing
his direct reports, it's...
914
00:44:05,893 --> 00:44:07,811
it's gonna
have an economic impact.
915
00:44:07,811 --> 00:44:10,397
- It's bad.
- Well...

00:44:10,397 --> 00:44:14,193

00:44:16,695 --> 00:44:18,989

919
00:44:19,740 --> 00:44:22,868
stop sending people your blood.
920
00:44:22,868 --> 00:44:26,413
Uh, and then, you know,
like catch and kill maybe?
921
00:44:26,413 --> 00:44:28,749
Or just have
like a really open meeting.
922
00:44:28,749 --> 00:44:32,753
- Hmm.
- Do not-- Don't fire her.
923
00:44:32,753 --> 00:44:33,837
- No?
- Yeah, you know,
924
00:44:33,837 --> 00:44:35,631
Gerri would be good on this.
And I can--
925
00:44:35,631 --> 00:44:37,508
I can give you in--
some informal advice
926
00:44:37,508 --> 00:44:40,094

- I would like that.
927
00:44:41,387 --> 00:44:42,429

go high to get it.

we retain ATN
and we'll bite at 146.
