Mr. Usher has waived his right
to have an attorney present.

00:07:11,458 --> 00:07:15,208
And Mr. Dupin has waived a glass
of Henri IV, so which of us is crazier?

97
00:07:34,333 --> 00:07:37,208
And smell the rot

00:07:38,833 --> 00:07:40,791
And what exactly are you confessing to?
99
00:07:41,750 --> 00:07:44,750
You mentioned Title 18, Section 371.
100
00:07:44,833 --> 00:07:47,375
- That's defrauding the U.S. government...
- All of it.
101
00:07:47,458 --> 00:07:49,375
- All of it?
- The whole thing.
102
00:07:49,958 --> 00:07:52,791
You brought what, uh, 73 charges?

00:07:52,875 --> 00:07:56,916
All of them, everything, all yours.
Right now.
104
00:07:58,416 --> 00:07:59,833
And I'll throw in a...
105
00:08:02,250 --> 00:08:03,250
a bonus.
106
00:08:07,083 --> 00:08:08,833
I'll tell you how my children died.
107
00:08:11,625 --> 00:08:15,041
I know how they died, Roderick.
Everybody knows.
108
00:08:16,958 --> 00:08:20,083
Believe me, Mr. Dupin, when I tell you,
you don't know a thing.
109
00:08:21,875 --> 00:08:22,875
But where to start?
110
00:08:24,625 --> 00:08:26,041
At the beginning, I suppose...
111
00:08:29,416 --> 00:08:30,416
is here...
112
00:08:32,041 --> 00:08:33,166
in this very room.

that Madeline and I were born into.

And the woman who would shape
every choice we'd ever make.

who once reportedly told his wife...
122
00:09:06,250 --> 00:09:08,750
Children are never too tender
to be whipped.
123
00:09:08,833 --> 00:09:11,541
Like tough beefsteaks,
the more you beat them,
124
00:09:12,125 --> 00:09:13,916
the more tender they become.
125
00:09:15,333 --> 00:09:18,541
[Roderick] For reasons
we were far too young to understand,
126
00:09:19,375 --> 00:09:22,416
we were forbidden to go
anywhere near Longfellow's house.
127
00:09:24,041 --> 00:09:27,166
It was one of our mother's
most insistent rules.
128
00:09:27,250 --> 00:09:31,250
So Madeline being Madeline,
insisted that we break it.

it won't happen again.

Eliza? Is he all right?
139
00:10:02,916 --> 00:10:05,708
- He's fine.
- No harm done. We'll talk about it Monday.
140
00:10:05,791 --> 00:10:09,916
Just make sure those Emory files
are on my desk when I get in.
141
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,125
Of course, Mr. Longfellow.
142
00:10:11,708 --> 00:10:14,333
[Roderick] Madeline hated Longfellow,
even then.
143
00:10:14,416 --> 00:10:16,416
She knew, somehow.
144
00:10:16,500 --> 00:10:18,250
- Madeline.
- [Roderick] She always knew.
145
00:10:18,333 --> 00:10:20,375
[Eliza] We stay away
from Mr. Longfellow's house.
146
00:10:20,458 --> 00:10:23,375
- We were just trying to see...
- [Eliza] You know the rules, Madeline.
147
00:10:23,458 --> 00:10:25,458
Just like God the Father is on high
148
00:10:25,541 --> 00:10:29,875
and loves us from far away,
the same is true for Mr. Longfellow.
149
00:10:29,958 --> 00:10:31,375
He's mean.
150
00:10:31,458 --> 00:10:32,583
He's complicated.
151
00:10:33,916 --> 00:10:35,041
Like God.
152
00:10:35,125 --> 00:10:37,208
- How's your foot?
- It hurts.
153
00:10:37,291 --> 00:10:38,958
Remember what Mother Teresa said,
154
00:10:39,041 --> 00:10:41,666
"Pain and suffering
are like the kiss of Jesus."
155
00:10:42,791 --> 00:10:46,666
It just means you've come so close to him
that he can kiss you.
156
00:10:47,541 --> 00:10:48,541
[kisses]
157
00:10:49,041 --> 00:10:51,916
[Roderick] If pain and suffering
were the kisses of Jesus,
158
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,250
then he kissed the living fuck
out of my mother

00:10:54,333 --> 00:10:55,708

Maybe we need to call a doctor,

- [Eliza] No!
- [Roderick] Mom, please.
168
00:11:27,791 --> 00:11:29,250
Jesus showed us

how to heal the sick,
and it wasn't through medicine!

Where is your faith?
171
00:11:34,666 --> 00:11:37,708
Your body is a temple of God.
172
00:11:37,791 --> 00:11:38,916

say what makes him say what you want.
175
00:11:44,916 --> 00:11:46,333
That way it's his idea.
176
00:11:46,416 --> 00:11:49,333
Mom said we're not supposed
to ever bother him. Him especially.
177
00:11:49,416 --> 00:11:53,291
Trust me, it's the least he can do.
Okay, now let's go over it one more time.
178
00:11:53,375 --> 00:11:56,625
Sorry to bother you, Mr. Longfellow,
but since she worked for you
179
00:11:56,708 --> 00:12:00,125
so well for so long, almost 20 years,
we thought you would want to know...
180
00:12:00,208 --> 00:12:01,541
[Roderick] She's getting worse.
181
00:12:01,625 --> 00:12:04,416
And we know that you're...
You're so good at helping people.
182
00:12:04,500 --> 00:12:05,333
[chuckles]
183
00:12:05,416 --> 00:12:08,291
[Roderick] She always said you were a man
that could move mountains,
184
00:12:08,375 --> 00:12:09,541
talk anyone into anything.
185
00:12:09,625 --> 00:12:11,583
You were the smartest man she ever met.
186
00:12:12,166 --> 00:12:14,625
Uh, we're here to ask you,
maybe you have an idea.
187
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,708
Maybe you could talk her into it.
188
00:12:17,791 --> 00:12:20,750
I'm sorry, you're here at my home
189
00:12:21,416 --> 00:12:24,250
so I'll talk your mother
into seeing a doctor?
190
00:12:24,333 --> 00:12:26,666
She won't take any medicine. Nothing.
191
00:12:26,750 --> 00:12:29,541
Won't see any doctors.
And she's in so much pain.
192
00:12:29,625 --> 00:12:31,416
[Roderick] We thought
if you could help her,
193
00:12:31,500 --> 00:12:33,791
if you told her what she needs to do,
she might listen.
194
00:12:33,875 --> 00:12:35,916
She won't listen to us. But you, she...
195
00:12:37,458 --> 00:12:38,833
I mean...
196
00:12:38,916 --> 00:12:39,916
She loves you.
197
00:12:41,666 --> 00:12:44,791
- What did you say?
- It's the least you could do. For her.
198
00:12:45,541 --> 00:12:46,541
For us.
199
00:12:47,291 --> 00:12:51,375
I don't know what you're talking about.
No idea, okay?
200
00:12:51,458 --> 00:12:57,791
Eliza was a decent worker for a long time,
but she lost it. Didn't she?
201
00:12:57,875 --> 00:13:02,291
Now take your insinuations,
your fucking false insinuations,
202
00:13:02,375 --> 00:13:06,250
take your grift and get off my property.
203
00:13:14,125 --> 00:13:15,125
[woman] Are those...
204
00:13:16,416 --> 00:13:17,708
Are those Eliza's kids?
205
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,000
What do we do?
206
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,000
We know what she wouldn't want us to do.
207
00:13:42,708 --> 00:13:44,583
If we call someone that means police.
208
00:13:45,833 --> 00:13:48,041
- Doctors, they'll embalm her.
- They can't.
209
00:13:48,125 --> 00:13:49,125
[Madeline] I know.
210
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,208
So what do we do?
211
00:13:56,541 --> 00:13:59,958
[Roderick] Thank Heaven!
The crisis, the danger, was past,
212
00:14:01,166 --> 00:14:04,291
and the lingering illness
was over at last.
213
00:14:04,958 --> 00:14:09,458
And the fever called "living"
was conquered at last.
214
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,916
Come, let the burial rite be read,
215
00:14:15,666 --> 00:14:17,333
the funeral song be sung,
216
00:14:18,375 --> 00:14:20,666
an anthem for the queenliest dead
217
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,500
that ever died so young.
218
00:14:41,083 --> 00:14:42,083
[shovel thuds]
219
00:14:50,125 --> 00:14:52,125
[thunder rumbling]
220
00:14:54,750 --> 00:14:56,000
[thunderclap]
221
00:14:56,083 --> 00:14:57,083
[gasps]
222
00:15:00,833 --> 00:15:02,583
[thunder rumbling]
223
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,000
[Roderick] Maddie!
224
00:15:20,541 --> 00:15:21,666
What is it?
225
00:15:28,875 --> 00:15:29,875
[power booms]
226
00:15:30,416 --> 00:15:31,833
[thunderclap]
227
00:16:17,291 --> 00:16:18,916
[clock ticking]
228
00:16:25,041 --> 00:16:26,750
- [Roderick] Mom!
- [Madeline] Mommy!
229
00:16:27,708 --> 00:16:28,708
[Roderick] Mommy!
230
00:16:50,791 --> 00:16:53,666
I mean, she's probably
passed out somewhere, right?
231
00:16:53,750 --> 00:16:57,000
She had to crawl up, break out,
she probably just passed right out.
232
00:16:57,083 --> 00:16:58,083
Jesus.
233
00:16:58,250 --> 00:16:59,916
- What do we do?
- Call a doctor.
234
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,500
We've got to call!
I don't care what she says.
235
00:17:02,583 --> 00:17:05,083
It was an accident. They got to know
we didn't mean to...
236
00:17:13,500 --> 00:17:15,416
[whimpering]
237
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,750
[breathing heavily]
238
00:17:21,833 --> 00:17:22,833
[choking]
239
00:17:23,333 --> 00:17:24,791
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
240
00:17:25,750 --> 00:17:28,708
- We didn't know.
- We're sorry. Please, Mommy.
241
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,000
[exhales]
242
00:17:37,791 --> 00:17:39,791
[breathing heavily]
243
00:17:42,291 --> 00:17:44,291
[menacing music playing]
244
00:17:45,375 --> 00:17:47,083
[both breathing heavily]
245
00:18:11,875 --> 00:18:14,958
No, the whole street's out,
it's not just us!
246
00:18:25,625 --> 00:18:26,625
Who is that?
247
00:18:28,083 --> 00:18:29,291
What are you doing here?
248
00:18:34,458 --> 00:18:35,666
Oh, my God.
249
00:18:40,250 --> 00:18:41,083
[screams]
250
00:18:41,166 --> 00:18:42,416
Mom!
251
00:18:53,958 --> 00:18:54,958
William!
252
00:19:00,208 --> 00:19:02,041
[woman] William!
253
00:19:02,125 --> 00:19:04,250
[shivering]
254
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,875
[woman] William!
255
00:19:11,833 --> 00:19:14,916
The official story was Longfellow
had a heart attack in his sleep.
256
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,791
That was before the Internet.
Prehistoric times.
257
00:19:17,875 --> 00:19:21,041
The nastiest bits we cleaned up
after I took over the company.
258
00:19:21,125 --> 00:19:23,083
To spare the family any embarrassment.
259
00:19:23,166 --> 00:19:25,458
I mean, my family, the Usher family.
260
00:19:26,666 --> 00:19:29,500
The last thing my mother did in this life...
261
00:19:30,875 --> 00:19:32,500
was kill a powerful man.
262
00:19:32,583 --> 00:19:36,958
And we carried that secret with us,
and loved her all the more.
263
00:19:38,333 --> 00:19:39,333
She was...
264
00:19:40,958 --> 00:19:42,291
remarkable.
265
00:19:44,958 --> 00:19:48,916
Why are you telling me this?
Why are we talking about your mother?
266
00:19:50,166 --> 00:19:54,583
Oh, I assume that I'm supposed to
because she's here.
267
00:19:56,750 --> 00:19:57,875
What do you mean?
268
00:19:59,250 --> 00:20:00,416
She's right behind you.
269
00:20:05,708 --> 00:20:07,083
[inhales deeply]
270
00:20:07,166 --> 00:20:13,000
You know, I read somewhere
about high-powered negotiation tactics.
271
00:20:13,791 --> 00:20:16,791
How some truly brilliant business people
272
00:20:16,875 --> 00:20:20,500
will plant these moments
into high-stakes conversations.
273
00:20:20,583 --> 00:20:23,125
Force a reaction, no matter how trivial.
274
00:20:23,208 --> 00:20:26,500
Talk softly to make an adversary lean in.
275
00:20:27,541 --> 00:20:30,916
Make them repeat themselves.
Throw your eyeline behind them.
276
00:20:31,708 --> 00:20:32,708
Make them...
277
00:20:33,666 --> 00:20:34,666
turn around.
278
00:20:35,375 --> 00:20:39,291
Just something to assert a little control.
279
00:20:42,750 --> 00:20:44,708
I'm not going to turn around, Roderick.
280
00:20:46,833 --> 00:20:47,833
That's fine with me.
281
00:20:49,708 --> 00:20:51,916
[thunder rumbling]
282
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,875
So, why are you telling me this?
283
00:20:53,958 --> 00:20:57,416
Because... Well, we were
talking about my kids, weren't we?
284
00:20:57,500 --> 00:20:59,250
And... And this is important to know
285
00:20:59,333 --> 00:21:01,041
when we talk about how they died.
286
00:21:01,875 --> 00:21:03,541
And why I treated them the way I did.
287
00:21:04,250 --> 00:21:09,458
And why they were the way they were,
was because of my dad.
288
00:21:11,750 --> 00:21:15,083
I just promised
I would never do what he did.
289
00:21:15,166 --> 00:21:18,041
I wouldn't close the gates.
If you're my blood, you're my blood.
290
00:21:18,125 --> 00:21:21,583
Doesn't matter how you got here,
who your mother was. I have six kids.
291
00:21:23,250 --> 00:21:25,041
Six kids by five mothers.
292
00:21:25,833 --> 00:21:27,000
But they're all mine.
293
00:21:28,250 --> 00:21:29,375
And I treated them so.
294
00:21:29,458 --> 00:21:30,458
If you're an Usher,
295
00:21:31,833 --> 00:21:33,416
the gates are open. Period.
296
00:21:34,666 --> 00:21:35,750
Matter of principle.
297
00:21:37,791 --> 00:21:39,166
[phone vibrates]
298
00:21:41,208 --> 00:21:42,458
Your granddaughter again?
299
00:21:44,541 --> 00:21:45,541
Yeah.
300
00:21:45,583 --> 00:21:47,708
[Auguste] Mmm. The gates are always open,
301
00:21:47,791 --> 00:21:49,916
but that doesn't mean
you answer the phone.
302
00:21:50,916 --> 00:21:52,375
No, it does not.
303
00:21:52,458 --> 00:21:55,083
Day will come, she'll stop texting.
304
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,500
They all do, sooner or later.
305
00:21:57,583 --> 00:22:01,958
Your grandkids are at your house
right now, with your kids too,
306
00:22:02,041 --> 00:22:03,458
and you're here with me.
307
00:22:04,250 --> 00:22:06,083
So let's skip the soapbox.
308
00:22:07,250 --> 00:22:08,541
Are you watching my house?
309
00:22:08,625 --> 00:22:12,041
If I'm not mistaken,
I never saw your husband at the courtroom.
310
00:22:12,625 --> 00:22:13,625
Not once.
311
00:22:13,666 --> 00:22:17,166
A culmination of your life's work,
and he wasn't there, rooting you on.
312
00:22:17,250 --> 00:22:20,500
Why is that, if you're such an expert
on family values?
313
00:22:20,583 --> 00:22:23,541
And come to think of it, my whole family
was there. Day one.
314
00:22:23,625 --> 00:22:26,166
In fairness, a few of them
were indicted co-conspirators.
315
00:22:26,291 --> 00:22:28,916
- Hey now.
- My family didn't need to be there.
316
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,125
I didn't want them
anywhere near you people.
317
00:22:31,791 --> 00:22:34,041
You always were
an effective orator, Auggie.
318
00:22:35,083 --> 00:22:37,208
Your opening arguments, I was impressed.
319
00:22:38,416 --> 00:22:40,333
I watched that tape back a few times.
320
00:22:43,250 --> 00:22:44,916
That may have been the last time...
321
00:22:45,875 --> 00:22:47,125
you know...
322
00:22:47,208 --> 00:22:50,708
- The last time you were impressed?
- The last time we were all together.
323
00:22:52,708 --> 00:22:56,416
That day was the last day
we were all in the same place.
324
00:22:58,458 --> 00:22:59,458
Alive.
325
00:23:01,416 --> 00:23:03,000
[Auguste] Thank you, Your Honor.
326
00:23:03,500 --> 00:23:04,583
Ladies and gentlemen...
327
00:23:05,375 --> 00:23:07,958
my name is Charles Auguste Dupin.
328
00:23:09,041 --> 00:23:12,458
{\an8}And it is my privilege to represent
the United States of America
329
00:23:12,541 --> 00:23:15,791
{\an8}against Fortunato Pharmaceuticals
330
00:23:15,875 --> 00:23:18,333
{\an8}and the Usher crime family.
331
00:23:18,416 --> 00:23:22,125
Today, I want to tell you why
the United States government
332
00:23:22,208 --> 00:23:24,916
has finally brought these charges
333
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,833
in what will be the most meaningful
pharmaceutical prosecution
334
00:23:28,916 --> 00:23:31,333
in the history of our country.
335
00:23:31,416 --> 00:23:37,416
Now, I know, there have already been
a lot of headlines about Fortunato Pharma.
336
00:23:37,500 --> 00:23:39,375
About Ligodone.
337
00:23:40,041 --> 00:23:43,583
About the opioid epidemic
in our homes and streets.
338
00:23:43,666 --> 00:23:47,916
The mountain of corpses that piled up
since Roderick Usher,
339
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:52,875
he's sitting over there, began marketing
his painkillers decades ago.
340
00:23:53,791 --> 00:23:58,375
The Usher family under CEO Roderick Usher
and COO Madeline Usher
341
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:03,416
spent four decades growing Fortunato
into one of the most profitable,
342
00:24:03,500 --> 00:24:05,833
powerful companies on the planet Earth.
343
00:24:05,916 --> 00:24:10,291
They've achieved this
by doing awful, awful things.
344
00:24:11,166 --> 00:24:17,833
Flagrantly violating regulations, statutes
and the most fundamental ethics.
345
00:24:18,625 --> 00:24:22,458
And at the cost of people's lives.
346
00:24:23,458 --> 00:24:27,458
We will prove that Fortunato,
as a matter of policy,
347
00:24:27,541 --> 00:24:30,125
engages in misleading marketing practices.
348
00:24:30,208 --> 00:24:33,208
It claims its products
are safe and effective,
349
00:24:34,208 --> 00:24:36,750
and destroys any evidence
that they are not.
350
00:24:36,833 --> 00:24:39,416
Burns evidence, fabricates evidence,
351
00:24:40,125 --> 00:24:43,625
destroys, defiles, degrades and defrauds.
352
00:24:44,833 --> 00:24:46,666
And the reason they aren't sweating,
353
00:24:47,916 --> 00:24:51,000
the reason their lead attorney
and enforcer Mr. Arthur Pym...
354
00:24:51,083 --> 00:24:52,750
- Objection.
- [Judge] Sustained.
355
00:24:52,833 --> 00:24:55,833
Their lead attorney, Mr. Arthur Pym,
356
00:24:55,916 --> 00:24:58,583
he's the one doing the crossword puzzle
while I'm talking.
357
00:24:59,416 --> 00:25:04,625
They believe that people like them
don't go to prison.
358
00:25:05,250 --> 00:25:07,250
Ladies and gentlemen, they're right.
359
00:25:07,791 --> 00:25:12,750
In 40 years, not one thing,
not one indictment, not one charge.
360
00:25:12,833 --> 00:25:14,333
Not even a speeding ticket.
361
00:25:14,416 --> 00:25:19,083
Not one consequence
has stuck to Roderick Usher
362
00:25:19,166 --> 00:25:21,458
or Madeline Usher
or anyone else in the family.
363
00:25:21,541 --> 00:25:23,750
- Objection.
- Sustained.
364
00:25:25,083 --> 00:25:28,500
The House of Usher
has weathered every storm,
365
00:25:28,583 --> 00:25:30,750
sling and arrow and stands higher,
366
00:25:30,833 --> 00:25:35,166
stronger and darker today
than ever before.
367
00:25:35,875 --> 00:25:39,083
But you're going to hear
something else too.
368
00:25:39,166 --> 00:25:41,041
Something they don't expect.
369
00:25:41,125 --> 00:25:44,000
And the reason why this trial's
going to have a different outcome.
370
00:25:45,166 --> 00:25:47,458
You're going to hear from one of them.
371
00:25:49,083 --> 00:25:52,166
An informant from within the inner circle.
372
00:25:52,250 --> 00:25:54,791
Someone so close to this family's crimes,
373
00:25:54,875 --> 00:25:57,166
their testimony and evidence
will be unimpeachable.
374
00:25:57,250 --> 00:25:59,041
- Objection!
- [Judge] Approach.
375
00:25:59,125 --> 00:26:00,708
[people murmuring]
376
00:26:07,791 --> 00:26:09,333
If such a witness exists,
377
00:26:09,416 --> 00:26:11,708
they have not been made known
to the defense.
378
00:26:11,791 --> 00:26:13,541
That violates basic discovery,
379
00:26:13,625 --> 00:26:15,625
and the government
knows better, Your Honor.
380
00:26:15,708 --> 00:26:18,666
This witness came forward
at great personal risk,
381
00:26:18,750 --> 00:26:20,458
would be in danger if exposed.
382
00:26:20,541 --> 00:26:22,041
They even fear for their life.
383
00:26:22,708 --> 00:26:25,958
Your Honor, we have reason to believe
this courtroom is compromised.
384
00:26:26,041 --> 00:26:27,083
[Arthur] That's absurd!
385
00:26:27,166 --> 00:26:31,208
And until we are satisfied, we will keep
this informant's identity confidential.
386
00:26:31,291 --> 00:26:34,208
The government's position
is that the danger is real and immediate.
387
00:26:34,291 --> 00:26:37,583
All the more reason not to mention this
in your opening argument, Mr. Dupin.
388
00:26:38,458 --> 00:26:40,291
You're right. Your Honor, I...
389
00:26:40,833 --> 00:26:42,791
Well, I got ahead of myself.
390
00:26:42,875 --> 00:26:45,791
I'm not the young lawyer I used to be.
I'll happily strike.
391
00:26:49,333 --> 00:26:54,000
[Judge] We'll disregard the allusion
to an informant for the time being.
392
00:26:54,083 --> 00:26:55,541
Strike from the record, please.
393
00:26:56,708 --> 00:26:57,916
[gavel banging]
394
00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,750
Well, I think we're all frustrated.
395
00:26:59,833 --> 00:27:01,208
In the past year, what?
396
00:27:01,291 --> 00:27:05,125
Fifty-four, fifty-five thousand people
have died because...
397
00:27:06,208 --> 00:27:07,208
of greed.
398
00:27:07,916 --> 00:27:09,833
- Family dinner.
- All of them?
399
00:27:09,916 --> 00:27:11,125
Spouses too.
400
00:27:11,208 --> 00:27:14,166
[Auguste] No, this is not
a joyful day for me.
401
00:27:14,250 --> 00:27:17,666
I wish that individuals like the Ushers
402
00:27:17,750 --> 00:27:21,000
would take responsibility for things
they've caused in people's lives.
403
00:27:21,791 --> 00:27:23,583
{\an8}[Frederick] Holy fuck, this is bad.
404
00:27:27,416 --> 00:27:30,166
Dad doesn't do family dinners.
This is about one thing.
405
00:27:30,708 --> 00:27:33,041
- The mole.
- [Lenore] Informant.
406
00:27:33,125 --> 00:27:35,041
A mole is one of them who infiltrated us,
407
00:27:35,125 --> 00:27:37,500
an informant is one of us
giving something to them.
408
00:27:37,583 --> 00:27:41,083
Okay, so a mole is like
Leonardo DiCaprio in The Departed,
409
00:27:41,791 --> 00:27:44,083
an informant is Jack Nicholson
in The Departed.
410
00:27:44,166 --> 00:27:46,750
He was! Nicholson was talking to the Feds
the whole time.
411
00:27:46,833 --> 00:27:48,875
I get it. There are other movies, Dad.
412
00:27:48,958 --> 00:27:51,208
- Not as good as The Departed.
- Look at this one.
413
00:27:51,291 --> 00:27:53,416
You are getting ridiculously good
at that, honey.
414
00:27:53,500 --> 00:27:55,583
- Well, I want your dad to love it.
- [ball thuds]
415
00:27:55,666 --> 00:27:58,250
And this always just delights him
when he's in such a mood.
416
00:27:58,333 --> 00:27:59,958
[scoffs] Well, yeah, there's a...
417
00:28:00,041 --> 00:28:02,291
[sighs]...an informant in the family.
418
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,625
I mean, that can't be true,
can it? [sighs]
419
00:28:05,708 --> 00:28:08,458
I don't think it can be true.
If it is true, it's Perry.
420
00:28:08,541 --> 00:28:10,041
Oh, he's just a kid, Freddie.
421
00:28:10,125 --> 00:28:13,000
Who knows what that crazy little sh...
Sorry, honey.
422
00:28:13,083 --> 00:28:16,708
Who knows what that crazy little spit-head
will or won't do?
423
00:28:16,791 --> 00:28:18,500
And why the fuck... Sorry, honey.
424
00:28:18,583 --> 00:28:21,541
Why the fuck would anybody think
it would serve their best interests
425
00:28:21,625 --> 00:28:24,375
to become a goddamn informant
for the government?
426
00:28:24,458 --> 00:28:27,125
Well, I mean,
they'd have to be pretty brave, I guess.
427
00:28:28,083 --> 00:28:29,208
Are the charges true?
428
00:28:30,416 --> 00:28:33,000
Because if not,
we've got nothing to worry about,
429
00:28:33,083 --> 00:28:37,041
but if someone really broke the law,
shouldn't they be punished?
430
00:28:37,125 --> 00:28:40,833
Lenore, that is a brave
and thoughtful thing to say.
431
00:28:41,791 --> 00:28:44,125
Especially if you want to get
written out of the will.
432
00:28:45,666 --> 00:28:47,791
[Bill] You don't think
he'd do that, do you?
433
00:28:47,875 --> 00:28:49,708
The only thing you can say
about Freddie is
434
00:28:49,791 --> 00:28:52,166
he wants Dad to love him
more than anything.
435
00:28:52,250 --> 00:28:55,208
He's shit at business, but he wouldn't
do anything to piss him off.
436
00:28:55,291 --> 00:28:57,583
My money is on one of the bastards.
437
00:28:58,333 --> 00:29:00,458
Maybe we've all
just underestimated Freddie.
438
00:29:00,541 --> 00:29:02,708
When your dad goes down,
Freddie's on the throne.
439
00:29:02,791 --> 00:29:04,416
Maybe he's giving him a little push.
440
00:29:04,500 --> 00:29:05,333
Why bother?
441
00:29:05,416 --> 00:29:08,541
He gets everything,
no matter how inept he is, apparently.
442
00:29:08,625 --> 00:29:09,875
Just look at his name.
443
00:29:09,958 --> 00:29:13,125
Frederick is as close to Roderick
as you get without a junior.
444
00:29:13,916 --> 00:29:16,291
I don't know why
he didn't just call him Froderick.
445
00:29:16,375 --> 00:29:19,083
- Oh, it's probably Perry.
- What about your new stepmom?
446
00:29:19,583 --> 00:29:20,666
- Could be Juno.
- Shut it!
447
00:29:20,750 --> 00:29:24,333
Don't mention her ever.
She doesn't exist. Do you understand?
448
00:29:24,416 --> 00:29:27,750
She's not in the will, is she?
He has to be smarter than that.
449
00:29:27,833 --> 00:29:29,458
Doesn't exist.
450
00:29:30,291 --> 00:29:31,666
Also doesn't know anything.
451
00:29:31,750 --> 00:29:34,916
- God, the timing. Bill...
- You could always push back the launch.
452
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:36,000
No. No way.
453
00:29:36,083 --> 00:29:38,000
Goldbug has to go off on time.
454
00:29:38,083 --> 00:29:40,291
I built the launch date
into the presentation.
455
00:29:40,375 --> 00:29:42,625
- Dad's already signed off.
- I mean, the trial.
456
00:29:43,166 --> 00:29:45,750
All the rest,
the world will understand, Tammy.
457
00:29:45,833 --> 00:29:47,958
I don't give a shit about the world.
458
00:29:48,041 --> 00:29:51,791
I care about what Dad thinks,
and he'd ride this out, so we ride it out.
459
00:29:51,875 --> 00:29:55,791
Goldbug will show him that
the Usher empire should be a matriarchy.
460
00:29:55,875 --> 00:29:59,666
And Tamerlane Usher should be the queen.
So just tell me what you need.
461
00:30:00,666 --> 00:30:02,083
I need Bill T. Wilson.
462
00:30:03,125 --> 00:30:05,291
So you just keep being him, okay?
463
00:30:06,208 --> 00:30:07,375
You warm up BILLT Nation,
464
00:30:07,458 --> 00:30:11,291
you keep those 10 million subscribers
all frothy for me.
465
00:30:11,375 --> 00:30:13,125
You know Blippi has 12 million?
466
00:30:13,208 --> 00:30:17,125
Fuck Blippi. And fuck this trial.
And fuck this informant.
467
00:30:17,958 --> 00:30:19,000
[sighs]
468
00:30:19,083 --> 00:30:20,333
Speaking of fucking...
469
00:30:21,125 --> 00:30:24,375
Who knows how late this goes tonight.
I canceled the girl.
470
00:30:24,916 --> 00:30:27,666
[hesitates] I didn't know
there was a girl tonight.
471
00:30:27,750 --> 00:30:30,666
Well, there was and she's cancelled.
Well, pushed, today.
472
00:30:30,750 --> 00:30:34,250
Dad needs to see his kids
don't need half a billion dollars
473
00:30:34,333 --> 00:30:37,125
and an endless supply of test monkeys
to be successful.
474
00:30:37,208 --> 00:30:38,291
[ECG beeping]
475
00:30:38,375 --> 00:30:41,166
[Alessandra] Just about got it.
476
00:30:42,916 --> 00:30:43,916
Ready?
477
00:30:51,208 --> 00:30:53,791
[breathes deeply, chuckles]
478
00:30:56,875 --> 00:30:59,166
[Alessandra] All right.
Let's close her up.
479
00:31:00,416 --> 00:31:01,833
Then cross our fingers.
480
00:31:06,041 --> 00:31:08,541
[Victorine] It worked.
It really fucking worked.
481
00:31:08,625 --> 00:31:09,833
I have to say,
482
00:31:09,916 --> 00:31:12,125
I think we're going to struggle
to get peer review.
483
00:31:12,208 --> 00:31:13,958
Don't say it's because of the nightshade.
484
00:31:14,041 --> 00:31:16,791
Because of the nightshade.
I am gonna say it again.
485
00:31:16,875 --> 00:31:18,916
This new powder your dad sent over...
486
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:20,916
- Oh. [scoffs]
- ...it's gonna poison the study.
487
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:22,416
Hey. You hear those stories?
488
00:31:22,500 --> 00:31:25,250
Tourists in South America
get powder blown in their face
489
00:31:25,333 --> 00:31:26,916
and it paralyzes them?
490
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:28,916
This is the same stuff.
491
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,166
Our trial's never going to look legit
492
00:31:31,250 --> 00:31:34,000
if we're using
an experimental Fortunato paralytic.
493
00:31:34,083 --> 00:31:36,416
We'll just have to
keep it away from Perry.
494
00:31:36,500 --> 00:31:38,291
Or it'll end up in some co-ed's drink.
495
00:31:38,375 --> 00:31:39,416
[chuckles]
496
00:31:40,333 --> 00:31:43,250
- You sure you want me to come tonight?
- What?
497
00:31:43,333 --> 00:31:46,541
Seems like everybody's going to have
their guns out after court today.
498
00:31:46,625 --> 00:31:48,791
- The informant?
- No, you have to come.
499
00:31:48,875 --> 00:31:50,750
It's Camille, we all know it's Camille.
500
00:31:50,833 --> 00:31:53,875
- It's going to be a bloodbath.
- They said, bring Al.
501
00:31:53,958 --> 00:31:57,625
I'm sorry, Dr. Ruiz, but you have to come.
502
00:31:57,708 --> 00:31:59,208
[Leo] You absolutely cannot come.
503
00:31:59,291 --> 00:32:00,833
[Julius] I'd like to meet your family.
504
00:32:00,916 --> 00:32:04,500
But there's a whole process for that.
Significant others are a thing.
505
00:32:04,583 --> 00:32:05,833
You don't want that yet.
506
00:32:06,416 --> 00:32:08,166
The prenup's like a fucking phone book.
507
00:32:08,250 --> 00:32:11,500
[Julius] Leo, you let me move in,
but you won't let me meet your family?
508
00:32:11,583 --> 00:32:14,000
That's right.
I don't know when I'm going to get back,
509
00:32:14,083 --> 00:32:15,333
but we'll talk about it then.
510
00:32:15,416 --> 00:32:17,416
[Julius] I'll be right up.
I'm in the elevator.
511
00:32:17,500 --> 00:32:19,208
- We can talk about it in a minute.
- Oh.
512
00:32:19,291 --> 00:32:20,291
You're in the elevator.
513
00:32:21,291 --> 00:32:23,083
Okay, see you in a sec. [sighs]
514
00:32:23,166 --> 00:32:25,291
- You've got to go.
- You promised a selfie.
515
00:32:25,375 --> 00:32:26,541
Now. Fuck.
516
00:32:26,625 --> 00:32:29,750
Okay, you are going to have to wait
out here, okay?
517
00:32:29,833 --> 00:32:31,458
Are you fucking serious?
518
00:32:31,541 --> 00:32:32,541
Yeah.
519
00:32:32,625 --> 00:32:35,583
There's a blanket on the sofa,
hide under that or something.
520
00:32:35,666 --> 00:32:37,000
I don't know. Come on.
521
00:32:37,083 --> 00:32:39,166
I'll let you out
when he goes to the bathroom.
522
00:32:39,250 --> 00:32:42,333
Okay. My friends aren't going to believe
I met Napoleon Usher.
523
00:32:42,416 --> 00:32:43,833
- Okay.
- [giggles]
524
00:32:46,791 --> 00:32:50,375
- Hey. Why are you home early?
- [chuckles]
525
00:32:50,458 --> 00:32:54,500
- Not that I'm complaining.
- I figured, um... shit might hit the fan.
526
00:32:54,583 --> 00:32:56,166
I saw the clips on the news.
527
00:32:57,208 --> 00:32:58,208
Hey.
528
00:32:58,541 --> 00:33:00,500
[Leo] Mmm. Mmm...
529
00:33:01,416 --> 00:33:03,583
- [exhales] Okay.
- [inhales]
530
00:33:03,666 --> 00:33:05,250
You sure I can't come with you?
531
00:33:05,333 --> 00:33:07,708
- No, I don't think that's a good idea.
- [meows]
532
00:33:07,791 --> 00:33:09,125
It was on the news?
533
00:33:09,208 --> 00:33:10,848
You're kidding. It was all over the news.
534
00:33:10,875 --> 00:33:11,995
- Hey, Pluto.
- [Pluto meows]
535
00:33:14,291 --> 00:33:17,166
Hey, sweetie. Are you being good
for Other Daddy? Are you?
536
00:33:17,250 --> 00:33:18,125
Hey!
537
00:33:18,208 --> 00:33:20,250
Why don't we put the news on
in the bedroom?
538
00:33:20,333 --> 00:33:23,250
{\an8}[Camille] We're coming out swinging.
Front-facing stuff.
539
00:33:23,333 --> 00:33:24,166
Softballs like Fox,
540
00:33:24,250 --> 00:33:27,208
Hannity knows which side
his dick's buttered on. He'll be friendly.
541
00:33:27,291 --> 00:33:28,166
Tucker?
542
00:33:28,250 --> 00:33:30,208
I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
543
00:33:30,958 --> 00:33:34,833
Yes, um, call Bresnickan at Vanity Fair,
see if he wants a profile on Leo.
544
00:33:34,916 --> 00:33:36,541
We can let Leo help out for a change.
545
00:33:36,625 --> 00:33:38,916
He can talk about his Jordans,
and his charity work.
546
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,541
Kimmel, Colbert, also Leo.
547
00:33:41,625 --> 00:33:46,166
And fuck it, fine, Victorine as well,
Victorine will work for Vanity and Cosmo.
548
00:33:46,250 --> 00:33:48,458
- For some reason, people like her.
- Uh, your step...
549
00:33:49,666 --> 00:33:53,625
Juno will be at the Met this weekend,
your dad's office asked for some Page Six.
550
00:33:53,708 --> 00:33:55,750
They scraped her off
an emergency room floor.
551
00:33:55,833 --> 00:33:58,125
Do they think I can turn her
into Princess Grace?
552
00:33:58,208 --> 00:34:00,791
Old enough to be her grandfather.
That'll never not be gross.
553
00:34:00,875 --> 00:34:03,541
It's fine, whatever. Fine.
Give them what they want.
554
00:34:03,625 --> 00:34:06,458
Um, priority one is the informant.
555
00:34:06,541 --> 00:34:09,958
{\an8}I want you to start with Perry obviously,
but I don't think
556
00:34:10,041 --> 00:34:13,333
he's clever enough to keep it off TikTok
if he was dealing with the Feds.
557
00:34:13,958 --> 00:34:15,500
Do you need us after dinner?
558
00:34:15,583 --> 00:34:16,583
No, not tonight.
559
00:34:16,666 --> 00:34:20,333
What I do need is for you to stay on top
of Victorine and the rest of it.
560
00:34:20,416 --> 00:34:22,625
If this informant is real,
I have to find them.
561
00:34:22,708 --> 00:34:25,166
It's tough with Victorine.
She knows you're watching.
562
00:34:25,250 --> 00:34:28,750
I know, you'll figure it out. We're gonna
find out who's talking to the Feds.
563
00:34:28,833 --> 00:34:30,375
Then I'll freeze their fucking head
564
00:34:30,458 --> 00:34:32,458
and give it to my father
on a platinum plate.
565
00:34:34,375 --> 00:34:36,500
See if Cartier will make a platinum plate.
566
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:40,291
I still am so nervous.
567
00:34:41,750 --> 00:34:43,458
I've never hosted anything before.
568
00:34:46,083 --> 00:34:47,875
Moderated an NA meeting once.
569
00:34:48,875 --> 00:34:50,833
And only once. It was a disaster.
570
00:34:50,916 --> 00:34:53,333
You'll be great.
You don't have to do anything.
571
00:34:54,458 --> 00:34:56,541
But all of them? All at once?
572
00:34:56,625 --> 00:35:01,375
Thank God we didn't have a wedding.
I didn't have to look them all in the eye.
573
00:35:02,125 --> 00:35:03,791
- They hate me.
- They don't.
574
00:35:03,875 --> 00:35:05,375
Well, except Freddie.
575
00:35:05,958 --> 00:35:08,125
But I'm pretty sure
he's just kissing your arse.
576
00:35:08,208 --> 00:35:11,958
They will love you because I love you,
and the only thing stronger than love
577
00:35:12,041 --> 00:35:14,708
is how scared they are
of getting cut out of the will.
578
00:35:14,791 --> 00:35:16,750
- [door opens]
- [man] Excuse me.
579
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:19,000
I'm sorry.
580
00:35:21,083 --> 00:35:23,875
Don, what are you doing here?
Have you met my wife?
581
00:35:23,958 --> 00:35:27,708
Juno, this is Dr. Donaldson.
He's been with me a long time now.
582
00:35:27,791 --> 00:35:30,750
He'll be taking over your care soon
as you're done with Lewis.
583
00:35:30,833 --> 00:35:34,791
I was going to call, but figured
this was important enough that, uh...
584
00:35:36,625 --> 00:35:37,916
I need to talk to you.
585
00:35:38,500 --> 00:35:42,000
- Go ahead.
- [Donaldson] Alone, I think might be best.
586
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:55,000
[car beeps]
587
00:36:11,541 --> 00:36:13,916
Hey. Prospero is here.
588
00:36:14,958 --> 00:36:16,041
You ready for him?
589
00:36:16,125 --> 00:36:17,125
What?
590
00:36:19,208 --> 00:36:20,541
[bottle opens]
591
00:36:20,625 --> 00:36:22,541
[Prospero] This is a Glenfiddich. '96.
592
00:36:24,291 --> 00:36:27,916
- '96, the year...
- The year I was born. Yes. Exactly.
593
00:36:28,541 --> 00:36:30,958
Glenfiddich is totally into this idea,
by the way.
594
00:36:31,041 --> 00:36:32,916
We make it the official whiskey
of the club
595
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,583
and they open up the entire library
of bottles to us.
596
00:36:36,458 --> 00:36:38,583
You've had a year, a calendar year
597
00:36:38,666 --> 00:36:41,791
to come up with a proposal
for your first business venture,
598
00:36:41,875 --> 00:36:46,000
a venture we'd like to support,
and you've come up with a nightclub.
599
00:36:46,083 --> 00:36:48,541
Yes. Obviously,
you're not thinking big enough.
600
00:36:48,625 --> 00:36:49,458
- Uh...
- [Madeline] Hmm.
601
00:36:49,541 --> 00:36:51,333
Is the flagship club going to be amazing?
602
00:36:51,416 --> 00:36:54,125
Of course it is,
but it's the franchise possibilities,
603
00:36:54,208 --> 00:36:57,083
Prospero Rome, Prospero New York,
Prospero Dubai...
604
00:36:57,166 --> 00:37:01,416
Well, outside of naming
this, uh, establishment after yourself,
605
00:37:01,500 --> 00:37:03,541
what else makes it at all worthwhile?
606
00:37:03,625 --> 00:37:06,500
Well, this isn't a fucking
Dave & Buster's, Aunt Madeline,
607
00:37:06,583 --> 00:37:08,750
I'm talking Berghain. Limelight.
608
00:37:09,375 --> 00:37:13,208
Prospero's will be one of the most
exclusive nightclubs in the entire world.
609
00:37:13,291 --> 00:37:16,291
We'll turn movie stars
and monarchs away with attitude,
610
00:37:16,375 --> 00:37:19,666
we're going to make Studio 54
look like fucking Romper Room.
611
00:37:19,750 --> 00:37:23,791
And you're going to do this
by marking up bottles of Glenfiddich.
612
00:37:23,875 --> 00:37:26,125
I'm not selling Glenfiddich.
I'm... I'm selling...
613
00:37:27,125 --> 00:37:29,041
hedonism, privilege.
614
00:37:29,750 --> 00:37:34,125
It's a dark room with killer music,
few rules, fewer consequences.
615
00:37:34,208 --> 00:37:36,791
It's where the movie starlet
everybody fucking worships
616
00:37:36,875 --> 00:37:40,875
is busy giving head to the real VIPs,
in the corner.
617
00:37:41,416 --> 00:37:43,958
Let me come to the office,
show you the numbers,
618
00:37:44,041 --> 00:37:45,416
franchise projections are good.
619
00:37:45,500 --> 00:37:48,541
- I'm thinking a tiered membership...
- Roderick, please, any time.
620
00:37:48,625 --> 00:37:51,333
Oh, tiered membership,
why didn't you say so? No.
621
00:37:51,416 --> 00:37:53,166
We won't set up a meeting at the office.
622
00:37:53,250 --> 00:37:55,625
Being an Usher
is about changing the fucking world.
623
00:37:55,708 --> 00:37:57,791
It's not a blow job whisky bar.
624
00:37:58,541 --> 00:38:01,541
Look at the numbers. I'll come
to the office on Monday and you can...
625
00:38:01,625 --> 00:38:03,541
Fuck's sake. That's all.
626
00:38:06,666 --> 00:38:07,666
[sighs]
627
00:38:14,791 --> 00:38:17,250
[door opens, closes]
628
00:38:18,375 --> 00:38:21,916
Well, I don't think he's the informant,
but got no clue about business.
629
00:38:22,458 --> 00:38:25,833
I know it's important to you
everybody gets that first loan, but...
630
00:38:25,916 --> 00:38:27,083
He's not making it easy.
631
00:38:27,166 --> 00:38:29,166
Let's get in there and watch their eyes.
632
00:38:29,250 --> 00:38:31,916
When the paperwork's passed out,
I'll be able to tell.
633
00:38:33,250 --> 00:38:35,000
What is going on with you?
634
00:38:35,583 --> 00:38:38,708
- Something is going on with you.
- All good.
635
00:38:40,625 --> 00:38:41,625
Right behind you.
636
00:38:47,416 --> 00:38:49,416
[footsteps receding]
637
00:38:51,333 --> 00:38:54,666
[door opens, closes]
638
00:39:02,125 --> 00:39:03,125
[sighs]
639
00:39:04,666 --> 00:39:08,000
[breathes deeply]
640
00:39:11,083 --> 00:39:12,083
For the road.
641
00:39:29,708 --> 00:39:30,833
[Morrie clears throat]
642
00:39:31,625 --> 00:39:36,208
I thought we could all benefit from this.
Um, Pharmaceutical Law.
643
00:39:36,291 --> 00:39:39,583
- Maybe something in here can help us.
- [Roderick] No, really?
644
00:39:39,666 --> 00:39:43,083
Arthur, dig into this book.
Find something for our defense.
645
00:39:43,166 --> 00:39:44,458
Oh, no.
646
00:39:44,541 --> 00:39:47,916
- Wait, it's... cake.
- [light applause]
647
00:39:51,875 --> 00:39:55,208
Well, I swear, if your TV show
had been about your cakes,
648
00:39:55,291 --> 00:39:56,625
it would have run 20 seasons.
649
00:39:56,708 --> 00:39:58,458
[Morrie chuckles] Care to wash it down?
650
00:39:59,083 --> 00:40:00,083
Coffee?
651
00:40:01,250 --> 00:40:02,625
- No way.
- Mmm.
652
00:40:02,708 --> 00:40:03,750
I bet it's cake.
653
00:40:05,041 --> 00:40:06,958
- [Morrie chuckles]
- [all applauding]
654
00:40:09,500 --> 00:40:12,666
Freddie, marrying this woman
might be the one thing you didn't fuck up.
655
00:40:13,250 --> 00:40:14,250
She's a genius.
656
00:40:14,916 --> 00:40:16,375
[chuckles] Well...
657
00:40:16,458 --> 00:40:20,000
We have that in common then, Dad.
We're both lucky men.
658
00:40:20,083 --> 00:40:22,541
Oh, for fuck's sake, Freddie.
659
00:40:22,625 --> 00:40:25,625
All right, while you all eat the law,
660
00:40:25,708 --> 00:40:28,958
Mr. Pym has some important paperwork
for each of you.
661
00:40:31,166 --> 00:40:34,000
[Camille] Paperwork from the Pym Reaper,
always a blast.
662
00:40:34,500 --> 00:40:37,041
Wait. Is this also cake?
663
00:40:37,125 --> 00:40:38,500
This is a robust,
664
00:40:38,583 --> 00:40:43,083
new non-disclosure agreement,
and it is consequential.
665
00:40:43,166 --> 00:40:45,750
[Camille] Forfeiture of inheritance?
Waiving of civil suits...
666
00:40:45,833 --> 00:40:49,125
We really should get together more often,
it's a balm for the soul.
667
00:40:49,208 --> 00:40:52,583
Consequence only applies if it's proven
you violated the agreements.
668
00:40:52,666 --> 00:40:55,291
So it seems to me
no one has anything to worry about.
669
00:40:55,375 --> 00:40:57,208
Unless they have something to worry about.
670
00:40:57,291 --> 00:40:59,916
[Madeline] Exactly.
And your father and I appreciate
671
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,750
this display of confidence,
loyalty and family. Now sign it.
672
00:41:03,833 --> 00:41:07,291
It's been a minute since I've gotten
to feel like a member of the family.
673
00:41:07,375 --> 00:41:11,083
Al, have you gotten to sign
an original Pym yet?
674
00:41:11,166 --> 00:41:13,583
It's a rite of passage.
Wait until you see the prenup.
675
00:41:13,666 --> 00:41:16,250
Yes, speaking of prenups,
how are things, Juno?
676
00:41:16,750 --> 00:41:17,750
It's going great.
677
00:41:17,833 --> 00:41:21,416
Yeah, I prefer not to sign anything
without my guy looking at it first.
678
00:41:25,125 --> 00:41:26,041
Or not.
679
00:41:26,125 --> 00:41:29,375
[Victorine] While we're on the subject
and, hate to point this out but,
680
00:41:29,458 --> 00:41:32,166
if there were ever
any one of us collecting,
681
00:41:32,250 --> 00:41:35,250
or even bartering a family secret,
we all know who that is.
682
00:41:35,333 --> 00:41:40,458
- Aw, fuck you very much, Victorine.
- No in-fighting. Jesus, have some dignity.
683
00:41:40,541 --> 00:41:42,000
You want to watch me sign it?
684
00:41:42,083 --> 00:41:44,500
- I'll sign it right now.
- How do you spell "Froderick"?
685
00:41:44,583 --> 00:41:47,500
[Madeline] Get the jokes out now
because this isn't funny.
686
00:41:47,583 --> 00:41:50,083
Fortunato is the reason you exist.
687
00:41:50,958 --> 00:41:52,916
The reason you have
your little knock-offs,
688
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:56,333
your heart implants, your debutante balls.
689
00:41:56,416 --> 00:41:58,333
Debutante balls?
Is that what you think I do?
690
00:41:58,416 --> 00:42:00,083
[Madeline] The company is the family,
691
00:42:00,166 --> 00:42:03,250
and we expect you
to defend it with your life.
692
00:42:03,333 --> 00:42:06,041
And if anyone, anyone comes after us,
693
00:42:06,125 --> 00:42:10,166
we will exhaust our arsenal
until the threat's neutralized.
694
00:42:10,250 --> 00:42:13,458
By neutralized,
do you mean sued into oblivion,
695
00:42:13,541 --> 00:42:17,500
taken out of the Board,
out of the will, on the streets...
696
00:42:17,583 --> 00:42:20,083
Neutralized. Like dead.
697
00:42:21,041 --> 00:42:25,041
Pym made this document particularly nasty,
I asked him to, but that's not the thing.
698
00:42:25,125 --> 00:42:26,958
When I find out who's been talking,
699
00:42:27,041 --> 00:42:29,750
to the goddamn government,
against your own blood,
700
00:42:29,833 --> 00:42:32,166
there won't be enough of you left to sue.
701
00:42:32,250 --> 00:42:36,791
I'll have to sue the bloody puddle of gore
in the designer shoes.
702
00:42:37,708 --> 00:42:40,250
- Make no mistake, we'll find out.
- $50 million.
703
00:42:42,166 --> 00:42:43,500
To whoever solves it.
704
00:42:43,583 --> 00:42:47,291
To the lucky Usher who figures out
who's talking to the Feds.
705
00:42:47,375 --> 00:42:51,000
Fifty million cash, no strings, no taxes.
706
00:42:51,083 --> 00:42:52,833
Did you just put a...
707
00:42:52,916 --> 00:42:54,791
Yes, I'm putting a bounty on you.
708
00:42:54,875 --> 00:42:58,750
You, the shit bag,
you the informant, you know who you are.
709
00:42:59,916 --> 00:43:01,458
It's 50 million. Sleep tight.
710
00:43:04,208 --> 00:43:05,208
The rest of you...
711
00:43:08,125 --> 00:43:09,125
happy hunting.
712
00:43:14,208 --> 00:43:16,333
That was the last time
I saw them together.
713
00:43:16,958 --> 00:43:19,333
Some of them,
the last time I saw them alive.
714
00:43:21,291 --> 00:43:23,041
If you're saying it was because of...
715
00:43:24,166 --> 00:43:25,166
Well...
716
00:43:25,916 --> 00:43:28,750
because of the informant thing
that all of this happened,
717
00:43:28,833 --> 00:43:33,000
if you're somehow implying
that I'm responsible, even indirectly...
718
00:43:33,083 --> 00:43:35,708
I'm not. I know who's responsible.
719
00:43:35,791 --> 00:43:39,125
You know who's responsible
for which death?
720
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:41,291
All of them.
721
00:43:42,916 --> 00:43:46,583
Forgive me, Roderick, but the deaths
722
00:43:47,458 --> 00:43:50,208
of your children have been examined,
723
00:43:50,291 --> 00:43:51,875
investigated pretty thoroughly
724
00:43:51,958 --> 00:43:55,000
and, as strange as they may be,
those deaths are unrelated.
725
00:43:55,083 --> 00:43:56,083
I am responsible.
726
00:43:57,666 --> 00:43:59,166
And more to the point,
727
00:44:00,041 --> 00:44:01,208
perhaps...
728
00:44:03,250 --> 00:44:04,250
there is a woman.
729
00:44:05,916 --> 00:44:07,333
[Madeline] I know that face.
730
00:44:07,958 --> 00:44:09,041
You know her too.
731
00:44:09,125 --> 00:44:10,625
A woman I have to tell you about.
732
00:44:10,708 --> 00:44:12,458

New Year's Eve. You know why? Resolutions.
736
00:44:26,250 --> 00:44:27,791
People take that word for granted,
737
00:44:27,875 --> 00:44:30,375
they don't realize
just how heavy a word it is.
738
00:44:31,041 --> 00:44:32,041
Resolution.
739
00:44:33,041 --> 00:44:34,041
Resolve.
740
00:44:35,958 --> 00:44:41,000
Means being unwavering, determined,
a firm commitment to do something, or...
741
00:44:42,375 --> 00:44:43,458
not to do something.
742
00:44:44,208 --> 00:44:48,083
And most people
go their whole, wasted, stupid lives
743
00:44:48,166 --> 00:44:52,291

00:44:55,166 --> 00:44:56,375
Not me though.

He stayed sharp and sober.
Watched everybody else drink.

We work up the street.

00:50:35,833 --> 00:50:37,250
We grow sick and dizzy."
848
00:50:37,333 --> 00:50:38,541
She's here.
849
00:50:39,583 --> 00:50:42,250
[preacher] "Our first impulse
is to shrink from the danger.
850
00:50:43,041 --> 00:50:45,375
Unaccountably, we remain.
851
00:50:46,166 --> 00:50:48,750
By slow degrees,
our sickness and dizziness
852
00:50:48,833 --> 00:50:53,375
and horror become merged in a cloud
of unnamable feeling.
853
00:50:54,041 --> 00:50:58,791
It is merely the idea
of what would be our sensations
854
00:50:58,875 --> 00:51:04,708
during the sweeping precipitancy
of a fall from such a height.
855
00:51:05,916 --> 00:51:09,958
And this fall, this rushing annihilation
856
00:51:10,041 --> 00:51:15,541
for the very reason that it involves
that one most ghastly and loathsome
857
00:51:15,625 --> 00:51:20,791
of all the most ghastly and loathsome
images of death and suffering,
858
00:51:20,875 --> 00:51:24,625
which have ever presented themselves
to our imagination,
859
00:51:24,708 --> 00:51:30,291
for this very cause do we now,
most vividly, desire it."

[reporters clamoring]
861
00:51:32,458 --> 00:51:34,458
[camera shutters clicking]
862
00:51:36,958 --> 00:51:38,041
[reporter] Mr. Usher!
863
00:52:06,708 --> 00:52:08,875
[reporters clamoring]
864
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:12,291
[Madeline] Roderick, look at me.
865
00:52:12,375 --> 00:52:15,583
Arthur, send a bus,
but keep it off dispatch, no names.
866
00:52:15,666 --> 00:52:17,666
In fact, designate it off duty.
867
00:52:17,750 --> 00:52:22,166
Take him to Westminster under a pseudonym.
Lock down the wing, maybe the whole floor.
868
00:52:23,083 --> 00:52:27,708
Full security detail, and get Donaldson.
No other doctors. Only Donaldson.
869
00:52:27,791 --> 00:52:28,833
You got it.
870
00:52:31,416 --> 00:52:32,416
It's time.
871
00:52:36,125 --> 00:52:37,125
It's time.
872
00:52:43,125 --> 00:52:44,166
It's time.
