00:00:02,252 --> 00:00:04,004
It's been said one is
either a hammer

3
00:00:04,004 --> 00:00:05,839
or an anvil.

4
00:00:05,839 --> 00:00:07,799
Good people have been
the anvil for too long.

5
00:00:07,799 --> 00:00:09,634
I've been seeing
an outside psychiatrist.

6
00:00:09,634 --> 00:00:11,845
Respectfully, this is
separate from what you do.

7
00:00:11,845 --> 00:00:14,014
[Dr. Mayer]
I've been expecting you.

8
00:00:14,014 --> 00:00:16,057

revert to his nature.

11
00:00:18,852 --> 00:00:20,478
So, you're feeding him
some red meat

12
00:00:20,478 --> 00:00:21,896
so you know exactly
where he's coming from.

13
00:00:21,896 --> 00:00:23,314
This is Michael Prince's
Super PAC filing.

14
00:00:23,314 --> 00:00:24,691
What did you learn?

15
00:00:24,691 --> 00:00:26,901
Potential violation of
52 USC 30121.

16
00:00:26,901 --> 00:00:29,362
I'm not in the market
for a performance coach.

17
00:00:29,362 --> 00:00:32,198
I was suggesting therapy.

18
00:00:32,198 --> 00:00:33,825
[Chuck]
<i>Time to send a message.</i>

19
00:00:33,825 --> 00:00:36,870
Let's open an investigation
on Michael Prince.

20
00:00:36,870 --> 00:00:39,914
Chuck Rhodes is charging us
for violations on the Super PAC.

21
00:00:39,914 --> 00:00:41,374
Game on, then.

22
00:00:41,374 --> 00:00:43,585
Nothing for him
at the end of that road.

23
00:00:43,585 --> 00:00:45,879
But I have decided
that he is dangerous,

24
00:00:45,879 --> 00:00:48,048
and I can't be part
of another strongman

25
00:00:48,048 --> 00:00:49,466

to win cases aplenty.

28
00:00:54,262 --> 00:00:56,890

[all] Hi, John.

[John]
This seemed legit. Proper.

34
00:01:51,820 --> 00:01:53,279
That's what I kept
telling myself

35
00:01:53,279 --> 00:01:54,447
to shut down the other voice

36
00:01:54,447 --> 00:01:56,032
telling me to run the other way.

37
00:01:56,991 --> 00:02:01,246
NFTs are an investment, right?

38
00:02:01,246 --> 00:02:03,123
Not a gamble.
According to Gary Vee

39
00:02:03,123 --> 00:02:04,874
and all those other guys.

40
00:02:04,874 --> 00:02:07,627
And that is probably true...

41
00:02:07,627 --> 00:02:09,462
for some folks.

42
00:02:09,462 --> 00:02:11,464
Regular folks.

43
00:02:11,464 --> 00:02:14,467
But I should have
recognized the rush.

And those shady fucking guys.

48
00:02:26,521 --> 00:02:28,648
Well, there was
one shady fucking guy.

Eh, computer nerd. Taiwanese.

He had amazing bona fides, but...

52
00:02:35,613 --> 00:02:39,325
he turned out to be
a motherfucker.

53
00:02:39,325 --> 00:02:41,327
Scamster.

54
00:02:41,327 --> 00:02:43,037

anything about it

Why I'm here.

72
00:03:34,380 --> 00:03:36,382
Yeah. Plus, this meeting
has the best coffee.

I take an extra train
just to drink it

74

How fucked are we?

166
00:07:20,606 --> 00:07:21,816

the bonds are triggered

00:07:51,053 --> 00:07:52,555
sells sham NFTs,

178
00:07:52,555 --> 00:07:54,307
then erases the point of sale

179
00:07:54,307 --> 00:07:56,517
and launders the proceeds
through crypto.

180
00:07:56,517 --> 00:08:00,021
Mm-hmm. Fits the mandate
to crack down on crypto fraud.

181
00:08:00,021 --> 00:08:02,148
You don't even know
the best part yet.

182
00:08:02,148 --> 00:08:03,774
Tell us the kicker.

183
00:08:03,774 --> 00:08:05,234
Can't wait to.

184
00:08:05,234 --> 00:08:07,487
I've been trawling these
gambler anon meetings

185
00:08:07,487 --> 00:08:09,864
for years, just waiting
for something good to come--

186
00:08:09,864 --> 00:08:11,574
Please say you actually
have a problem

187
00:08:11,574 --> 00:08:13,075
because if you just go to
the meetings to solicit--

188
00:08:13,075 --> 00:08:14,994
Yeah, please have
a story in your pocket

189
00:08:14,994 --> 00:08:18,331
about losing the rent
on, uh, you know,

190
00:08:18,331 --> 00:08:21,250
"Pinochle broke me,"
something of the sort.

191
00:08:21,250 --> 00:08:23,920
[chuckles]
Pinochle broke me.

192
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,714
- [scoffs]
- [Allard] Yeah.

193
00:08:26,714 --> 00:08:28,966
I'd swear to it under oath.

194
00:08:28,966 --> 00:08:30,468
Now. Wanna see the kicker?

195
00:08:30,468 --> 00:08:32,512
Mm-hmm.

196
00:08:32,512 --> 00:08:37,183
Liu's pop is a mega-billionaire.
Industrialist.

197
00:08:37,183 --> 00:08:39,685
Does thrice-yearly deals
with none other

198
00:08:39,685 --> 00:08:41,854
than Michael Prince himself.

199
00:08:43,814 --> 00:08:45,274
[chuckles]

200
00:08:45,274 --> 00:08:47,485
They've been in deep
for over a decade.

201
00:08:47,485 --> 00:08:49,028
If we pinch the kid,

202
00:08:49,028 --> 00:08:50,446
they all look real bad.

203
00:08:54,242 --> 00:08:56,202
Karl, that's not just a kicker,

204
00:08:56,202 --> 00:08:58,037
that's a Tom Dempsey.

205
00:08:59,330 --> 00:09:01,582
I'm unfamiliar.

206
00:09:01,582 --> 00:09:04,126
Had half a foot, kicked
with a special sawed-off shoe.

207
00:09:04,126 --> 00:09:05,753
Still made
60-yard field goals.

208
00:09:05,753 --> 00:09:07,838
Then, yeah, that's this.

209
00:09:07,838 --> 00:09:10,383
We can get you a warrant
for the kid right away, Karl.

210
00:09:10,383 --> 00:09:12,593
Good. Go scoop him up.

211
00:09:17,723 --> 00:09:20,226
"Ooh, a storm is threatening,"

212
00:09:20,226 --> 00:09:22,144
as geriatric Jagger croons.

213
00:09:22,144 --> 00:09:24,272
Are there any actions
you'd like me to take

214
00:09:24,272 --> 00:09:26,440
in the face of potentially
massive payouts?

215
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,151
No action. We work
with whatever happens.

216
00:09:29,151 --> 00:09:31,028
We could likely get rocked.

217
00:09:31,028 --> 00:09:32,363
Then we get rocked.

218
00:09:33,322 --> 00:09:35,408
Ah. Of course.

219
00:09:35,408 --> 00:09:37,493
Other circumstances
take precedent.

220
00:09:37,493 --> 00:09:38,744
As they should.

221
00:09:46,377 --> 00:09:49,088
I always liked the way
Obama referred to Biden

222
00:09:49,088 --> 00:09:51,007
as his partner publicly,

223
00:09:51,007 --> 00:09:52,842
even though we all knew he was
barely listening to the V.P.

224
00:09:52,842 --> 00:09:54,552
when they were in private.

225
00:09:54,552 --> 00:09:56,512
I think Biden would have
preferred the opposite.

226
00:09:56,512 --> 00:09:58,055
And, uh, Scooter
isn't actually your partner

227
00:09:58,055 --> 00:09:59,724
in owning the business.

228
00:09:59,724 --> 00:10:01,267
No, but...

229
00:10:01,267 --> 00:10:02,935
I'd listen to him
as though he were.

230
00:10:02,935 --> 00:10:05,271
I-I truly think of him
that way.

231
00:10:06,731 --> 00:10:08,357
And I try to reward him as such.

232
00:10:08,357 --> 00:10:10,776
You find ways to reaffirm your
trust and loyalty,

233
00:10:10,776 --> 00:10:13,946
so it continues to be
returned in kind.

234
00:10:13,946 --> 00:10:17,074
Yes, but also I love the guy.

235
00:10:17,074 --> 00:10:20,453
That's why made the winning bid
at the symphony charity auction:

236
00:10:20,453 --> 00:10:23,122
Scooter's gonna
conduct the Philharmonic.

237
00:10:23,122 --> 00:10:24,957
I'm gonna bring him on stage,

238
00:10:24,957 --> 00:10:27,793
introduce him,
really blow it out.

239
00:10:27,793 --> 00:10:30,129
I see why that seems
like the thing to do.

240
00:10:30,129 --> 00:10:32,131
And for you and Scooter, holistically,

241
00:10:32,131 --> 00:10:34,467
it is the thing to do.

242
00:10:34,467 --> 00:10:36,636
But classical music
is pussy music.

243
00:10:36,636 --> 00:10:38,346
That's insane.

244
00:10:38,346 --> 00:10:39,764
Not to the voters.

245
00:10:39,764 --> 00:10:41,641
And to them,
people who like it...

246
00:10:41,641 --> 00:10:43,601
are pussies.

247
00:10:43,601 --> 00:10:44,852
Including you.

248
00:10:55,237 --> 00:10:56,489
It's like this.

249
00:10:56,489 --> 00:10:58,491
Al Capone can cry at Pagliacci

250
00:10:58,491 --> 00:11:00,993
'cause he's having a guy
murdered at the same time.

251
00:11:00,993 --> 00:11:03,496
Also because he's being
played by Robert De Niro.

252
00:11:03,496 --> 00:11:06,165
Anyone else is... effete.

253
00:11:06,165 --> 00:11:08,834
Uh, you used a different word
before she walked in the room.

254
00:11:08,834 --> 00:11:11,253
His idiolect changes based on
who he wants to affect.

255
00:11:13,214 --> 00:11:14,924
We've barely met,
how can you--

256
00:11:14,924 --> 00:11:16,676
I'm a professional evaluator
of people,

257
00:11:16,676 --> 00:11:18,386
so I thin-sliced it
and--

258
00:11:18,386 --> 00:11:20,304
Well, I'm a professional
evaluator of people

259
00:11:20,304 --> 00:11:23,349
and a comms strategist.
Words--

260
00:11:23,349 --> 00:11:26,310
Jesus, you-you like
shaking people up, don't you?

261
00:11:26,310 --> 00:11:28,896
Like it? I don't know.
Just happens.

262
00:11:30,731 --> 00:11:32,858
This is about Scooter conducting.

263
00:11:34,443 --> 00:11:37,196
Regardless what word
we use, yeah.

264
00:11:37,196 --> 00:11:39,907
No chamber music for you
or Scooter. I have to veto it.

265
00:11:39,907 --> 00:11:41,742
First of all,
you don't have veto power.

266
00:11:41,742 --> 00:11:43,369
Second, orchestral,
not chamber.

267
00:11:43,369 --> 00:11:45,538
Third, I'm not effete.

268
00:11:45,538 --> 00:11:47,540
Yeah, Mike's no pussy.

269
00:11:48,541 --> 00:11:50,000
[Prince] See?

270
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,461
- I was a college athlete.
- Uh-huh.

271
00:11:52,461 --> 00:11:54,755
So, let's throw out the first
pitch somewhere that night

272
00:11:54,755 --> 00:11:56,382
instead of
going to the concerto.

273
00:11:56,382 --> 00:11:57,800
You think one night
at the Phil

274
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,176
is gonna have
that much negative impact?

275
00:11:59,176 --> 00:12:00,636
It's not one night.

276
00:12:00,636 --> 00:12:03,389
It's the conversation
surrounding it.

277
00:12:03,389 --> 00:12:04,724
Who's your favorite
female conductor?

278
00:12:04,724 --> 00:12:07,184
Marin Alsop,
Baltimore Symphony.

279
00:12:07,184 --> 00:12:09,520
I hate that you have
that answer so fast.

280
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,314
Okay, Baltimore,

281
00:12:12,314 --> 00:12:13,899
who's your favorite Oriole?

282
00:12:13,899 --> 00:12:15,901
Mussina. Even though
he retired a Yankee.

283
00:12:15,901 --> 00:12:17,236
Favorite now?

284
00:12:20,114 --> 00:12:21,240
Baseball's kind of dead.

285
00:12:23,284 --> 00:12:24,410
Tell him.

286
00:12:24,410 --> 00:12:26,370
You understand this shit, right?

287
00:12:26,370 --> 00:12:29,039
'Cause as a professional
thin slicer of people, you know

288
00:12:29,039 --> 00:12:31,876
classical music
makes people feel dumb.

289
00:12:31,876 --> 00:12:34,211
Some people. Absolutely.

290
00:12:34,211 --> 00:12:36,589
But are those people
Prince voters anyway?

291
00:12:36,589 --> 00:12:37,965
Big tent.

292
00:12:37,965 --> 00:12:39,925
Let's not write anyone off yet.

293
00:12:39,925 --> 00:12:41,927
Then cancel any and all
involvement with the symphony

294
00:12:41,927 --> 00:12:44,221
until they play you into the job

295
00:12:44,221 --> 00:12:45,598
at your inauguration.

296
00:12:45,598 --> 00:12:48,601
But we should have
Bocephus anyway.

297
00:12:50,603 --> 00:12:53,314
Wendy, do you have
a real lean here?

298
00:12:53,314 --> 00:12:56,609
Michael Prince is a maverick
who rewrites the rules.

299
00:12:56,609 --> 00:12:58,569
That's what works for him.

300
00:12:58,569 --> 00:13:00,196
For you.

301
00:13:00,196 --> 00:13:02,072
I don't see why candidate Prince
would switch that up.

302
00:13:02,072 --> 00:13:03,616
After all...

303
00:13:04,658 --> 00:13:06,952
he is the buck.

304
00:13:06,952 --> 00:13:09,288
I'm telling you, you've
gotta walk this back.

305
00:13:09,288 --> 00:13:11,791
Nope. Gonna march it forward.

306
00:13:15,503 --> 00:13:16,629
Eyes up!

307
00:13:18,464 --> 00:13:20,674
Scooter, stand with me.

308
00:13:25,471 --> 00:13:28,933
Team: this man.

309
00:13:28,933 --> 00:13:32,144
This man of many disciplines,
many skills, many talents,

310
00:13:32,144 --> 00:13:34,939
is about to showcase
a hidden one.

311
00:13:34,939 --> 00:13:36,607
Two weeks from tomorrow,

312
00:13:36,607 --> 00:13:40,152
he will conduct the
New York Philharmonic Orchestra.

313
00:13:40,152 --> 00:13:41,654
I'll be introducing him.

314
00:13:41,654 --> 00:13:44,281
All of you will be there
cheering him on.

315
00:13:44,281 --> 00:13:47,201
[cheers and applause]

316
00:13:47,201 --> 00:13:49,203
I was really enjoying
your fucking act

317
00:13:49,203 --> 00:13:51,956
until you Joe Theismanned
my ass.

318
00:13:51,956 --> 00:13:53,332
Like Lawrence Taylor.

319
00:13:53,332 --> 00:13:55,376
- That's what they pay me for.
- Hm.

320
00:13:55,376 --> 00:13:56,836
Look, you gotta know
you're not always gonna

321
00:13:56,836 --> 00:13:58,629
get your way with him.
It's not how we--

322
00:13:58,629 --> 00:13:59,964
You think I'm pissed because
I didn't get my way?

323
00:13:59,964 --> 00:14:01,966
Thank you. Thank you.

324
00:14:01,966 --> 00:14:04,343
It means a lot to have
the well wishes of this team.

325
00:14:04,343 --> 00:14:06,679
I think you're frustrated
because Prince isn't pliable

326
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,764
the way most of your
candidates probably are.

327
00:14:08,764 --> 00:14:10,975
They don't start out that way.

328
00:14:10,975 --> 00:14:14,019
But I tell them what to do.
They do it. And then they win.

329
00:14:14,019 --> 00:14:15,521
I don't appease.

330
00:14:15,521 --> 00:14:16,856
I don't coax and massage

331
00:14:16,856 --> 00:14:18,607
the way, say,
a therapist might.

332
00:14:18,607 --> 00:14:20,484
I look like I get out
the scented oils

333
00:14:20,484 --> 00:14:22,319
and Dead Can Dance CDs
before I rub your shoulders?

334
00:14:22,319 --> 00:14:24,405
The verbal equivalent. Yeah.

335
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:27,867
And, uh, I have
something for you

336
00:14:27,867 --> 00:14:29,869
to commemorate
this moment--

337
00:14:37,251 --> 00:14:39,253
Belonged to Leonard Bernstein.

338
00:14:39,253 --> 00:14:40,754
Greatest of the greats.

339
00:14:42,298 --> 00:14:44,425
This is your time, Scoot.

340
00:14:44,425 --> 00:14:45,593
So proud of you.

341
00:14:45,593 --> 00:14:47,177
[chuckles]

342
00:14:51,432 --> 00:14:55,394
I have been preparing for this
opportunity for a long time,

343
00:14:55,394 --> 00:14:58,314
silently, quietly,
in my waking dreams.

344
00:14:58,314 --> 00:15:01,734
But I never knew
it would come to fruition.

345
00:15:03,903 --> 00:15:05,946
Thank you, Mike.

346
00:15:05,946 --> 00:15:09,700
It would be my honor
to share this with you all.

347
00:15:09,700 --> 00:15:11,243
I promise not to disappoint.

348
00:15:11,243 --> 00:15:12,369
Yeah!

349
00:15:12,369 --> 00:15:13,454
[applause]

350
00:15:18,792 --> 00:15:20,169
But for real, though,

351
00:15:20,169 --> 00:15:22,004
your job here,
if we boil it down,

352
00:15:22,004 --> 00:15:24,548
is to make everyone else's life
a little better, right?

353
00:15:24,548 --> 00:15:25,925
Remove the obstacles
in their way.

354
00:15:25,925 --> 00:15:27,259
In a sense.

355
00:15:27,259 --> 00:15:29,094
Today, though,
you made mine worse.

356
00:15:29,094 --> 00:15:31,180
Look, he called me in.

357
00:15:31,180 --> 00:15:33,766
To do the thing that
I do for him. Not you.

358
00:15:33,766 --> 00:15:35,601
'Cause whatever it was
he was getting from you,

359
00:15:35,601 --> 00:15:37,269
it clearly wasn't enough.

360
00:15:49,156 --> 00:15:51,408
If we can connect Eric T.
to the real estate fraud,

361
00:15:51,408 --> 00:15:53,118
maybe he'll roll.

362
00:15:53,118 --> 00:15:54,286
We get big sister up
from Indian Creek Island,

363
00:15:54,286 --> 00:15:55,454
she finally gets
revenge on pops

364
00:15:55,454 --> 00:15:56,288
for ruining her
social standing.

365
00:15:56,288 --> 00:15:57,831
[knock on door]

366
00:15:57,831 --> 00:15:59,291
A second, boss.

367
00:15:59,291 --> 00:16:01,251
One moment, Ms. Torre.

368
00:16:01,251 --> 00:16:02,670
Ira.

369
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,259
- Kid's gone.
- Gambling kid or criminal kid?

370
00:16:09,259 --> 00:16:11,720
- The scammer.
- When you say "gone"?

371
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,723
Got a warrant, entered his place
with the agents. Gone.

372
00:16:14,723 --> 00:16:16,642
Either tipped off
or knew he'd pushed it.

373
00:16:16,642 --> 00:16:18,310
Phone's off, too.

374
00:16:18,310 --> 00:16:19,603
Figure he's gone to ground?

375
00:16:19,603 --> 00:16:21,772
No. Billionaire's kid, you said.

376
00:16:21,772 --> 00:16:24,066
They don't go to ground,
they flee the jurisdiction.

377
00:16:24,066 --> 00:16:26,610
They sure do. Karl...

378
00:16:26,610 --> 00:16:28,487
get Ms. Torre off
whatever she's working on

379
00:16:28,487 --> 00:16:30,072
and onto this,
interfacing with the agents,

380
00:16:30,072 --> 00:16:31,824
checking ships, yachts,

381
00:16:31,824 --> 00:16:33,575
airplane manifests, all of it.

382
00:16:33,575 --> 00:16:35,327
Ground the family crafts.

383
00:16:35,327 --> 00:16:37,162
If Elon Musk is
prototyping jet suits,

384
00:16:37,162 --> 00:16:39,748
find out if our guy's
flying one of those back home.

385
00:16:42,835 --> 00:16:44,003
Come on.

386
00:16:47,131 --> 00:16:50,509
When you try to drip poison
in someone's mouth,

387
00:16:50,509 --> 00:16:53,137
he may turn his head.

388
00:16:53,137 --> 00:16:55,723
And then a clean kill
can turn very messy.

389
00:16:57,307 --> 00:16:59,309
And before long,
you have Dan Aykroyd

390
00:16:59,309 --> 00:17:01,311
double barreling
semi-automatics at your face.

391
00:17:01,311 --> 00:17:04,565
Ah, yes.
Uh, <i>Grosse Pointe Blank.</i>

392
00:17:04,565 --> 00:17:07,109
You know, from treating
all your colleagues--

393
00:17:07,109 --> 00:17:09,153
and I can say this without
breaking confidence,

394
00:17:09,153 --> 00:17:11,447
since that is what brought you
to me in the first place--

395
00:17:11,447 --> 00:17:14,867
I have gotten to revisit
so many fine films.

396
00:17:14,867 --> 00:17:16,994
This one I missed
first time around,

397
00:17:16,994 --> 00:17:18,912
but I enjoyed it.

398
00:17:18,912 --> 00:17:23,125
Even if its commentary
on ambition in the work force

399
00:17:23,125 --> 00:17:25,627
is a bit heavy handed.

400
00:17:25,627 --> 00:17:27,546
I mean, even Shakespeare
laid it on a bit thick

401
00:17:27,546 --> 00:17:28,881
when he was really
trying to make a point.

402
00:17:28,881 --> 00:17:30,382
Still effective.

403
00:17:30,382 --> 00:17:32,676
which play comes to mind?
Answer quickly.

404
00:17:32,676 --> 00:17:35,721
Um, <i>Richard III.</i>

405
00:17:35,721 --> 00:17:40,392
Another work about
an assassin of sorts.

406
00:17:40,392 --> 00:17:42,186
I'm sensing a theme.

407
00:17:42,186 --> 00:17:44,730
Yes. Now that I said it...

408
00:17:47,274 --> 00:17:49,318
ah, you asked on purpose to s--

409
00:17:50,277 --> 00:17:51,820
That's good.

410
00:17:51,820 --> 00:17:55,532
Yes, now that I said it,
I do feel a bit like...

411
00:17:55,532 --> 00:17:58,035
Richard these days,
if more justifiably motivated.

412
00:17:58,035 --> 00:18:01,246
The real Richard was
in quite the tough spot.

413
00:18:01,246 --> 00:18:05,042
His family would have lost
the throne if he didn't act.

414
00:18:05,042 --> 00:18:07,294
Well, that's the question
one asks oneself, isn't it?

415
00:18:09,338 --> 00:18:13,008
If the damage, intended
or collateral, is justified--

416
00:18:13,008 --> 00:18:15,385
or even when
you know it is justified,

417
00:18:15,385 --> 00:18:17,429
if you can live with
the collateral damage.

418
00:18:17,429 --> 00:18:21,100
Change the "you" to "I"
when using examples.

419
00:18:21,100 --> 00:18:23,769
It's difficult to do,
but try it.

420
00:18:23,769 --> 00:18:27,481
I have to do some things.

421
00:18:27,481 --> 00:18:30,484
I am doing some things
that I deem...

422
00:18:31,610 --> 00:18:32,861
necessary.

423
00:18:34,321 --> 00:18:36,782
And these things will help

424
00:18:36,782 --> 00:18:39,409
many, many people.

425
00:18:39,409 --> 00:18:42,955
But they will hurt
some other people.

426
00:18:42,955 --> 00:18:44,206
Fewer.

427
00:18:46,166 --> 00:18:48,752
But the hurt ones are folks
that I know and care about.

428
00:18:48,752 --> 00:18:50,921
So... guilt.

429
00:18:50,921 --> 00:18:52,464
Well, it's strange

430
00:18:52,464 --> 00:18:54,258
because guilt usually
rears up when you--

431
00:18:54,258 --> 00:18:57,177
when I-- do bad things,
things that I know are wrong.

432
00:18:57,177 --> 00:18:59,721
But this is different.
Justified. And yet--

433
00:18:59,721 --> 00:19:02,891
That's why the trolley problem
takes up so many class sessions

434
00:19:02,891 --> 00:19:04,434
when it's taught at Harvard.

435
00:19:04,434 --> 00:19:07,396
We are feeling creatures,

436
00:19:07,396 --> 00:19:10,065
even if it often seems
as though we are not.

437
00:19:10,065 --> 00:19:12,025
So, we know we should only

438
00:19:12,025 --> 00:19:15,821
divert the runaway trolley
if more people will live,

439
00:19:15,821 --> 00:19:19,324
yet we hesitate if we learn
too many nice things

440
00:19:19,324 --> 00:19:22,536
about any one potential victim.

441
00:19:22,536 --> 00:19:24,788
Right. So, how do I execute
what I need to,

442
00:19:24,788 --> 00:19:26,707
all the little moves,

443
00:19:26,707 --> 00:19:28,333
knowing that I'm gonna
do real harm to people

444
00:19:28,333 --> 00:19:30,669
who've done nothing
to earn that fate?

445
00:19:32,212 --> 00:19:35,007
What more can you tell me?
In specific.

446
00:19:41,221 --> 00:19:42,264
You've heard that
Michael Prince

447
00:19:42,264 --> 00:19:43,390
is running for president?

448
00:19:45,309 --> 00:19:47,686
Well, the thing is,
I'm in a position

449
00:19:47,686 --> 00:19:51,273
to really know
what damage he will do--

450
00:19:51,273 --> 00:19:54,359
actually, I know what
his own conscious mind

451
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,695
doesn't know yet about
what damage he will do.

452
00:19:56,695 --> 00:19:58,530
Of course.

453
00:19:58,530 --> 00:19:59,865
It's bad.

454
00:19:59,865 --> 00:20:01,825
For the country.
For the world.

455
00:20:01,825 --> 00:20:02,951
He needs to be stopped.

456
00:20:02,951 --> 00:20:04,036
And I'm one of the few people

457
00:20:04,036 --> 00:20:05,746
who can maybe do the stopping.

458
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:08,040
But...

459
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:09,708
to do so requires...

460
00:20:09,708 --> 00:20:12,336
Yeah. The very people
I've promised to help.

461
00:20:12,336 --> 00:20:15,339
And a few people
I've come to really like...

462
00:20:15,339 --> 00:20:17,549
are gonna pay a real price,

463
00:20:21,303 --> 00:20:23,430
Some of them
are my other patients.

464
00:20:24,431 --> 00:20:25,474
Yes.

465
00:20:28,936 --> 00:20:31,063
Then... [clears throat]
...for ethical reasons,

466
00:20:31,063 --> 00:20:32,314
we'll need to stop here.

467
00:20:35,776 --> 00:20:38,695
You asked me the questions
that brought us here.

468
00:20:38,695 --> 00:20:40,447
I mean, you practically
challenged me

469
00:20:40,447 --> 00:20:41,907
to sit here with you,

470
00:20:41,907 --> 00:20:43,408
and now you're
going to abandon me?

471
00:20:43,408 --> 00:20:45,244
You wrestling with
your ethical dilemma

472
00:20:45,244 --> 00:20:48,497
is not a reason for me
to create one of my own.

473
00:20:49,623 --> 00:20:52,084
I'm sorry,

474
00:20:52,084 --> 00:20:53,627
but this is the end
of our session.

475
00:21:13,939 --> 00:21:15,232
We found Kai Huang Liu's name

476
00:21:15,232 --> 00:21:16,650
on a private jet manifest.

477
00:21:16,650 --> 00:21:18,610
Shit. Did it take off?

478
00:21:18,610 --> 00:21:20,112
It did.

479
00:21:20,112 --> 00:21:22,239
And yet a slight
Russell Ziskey smile

480
00:21:22,239 --> 00:21:23,407
dances around your face, Karl.

481
00:21:23,407 --> 00:21:26,076
Because I know
whose jet it is.

482
00:21:26,076 --> 00:21:28,328
And when you find out,
you, too,

483
00:21:28,328 --> 00:21:31,081
will get your Ziskey on.

484
00:21:31,081 --> 00:21:32,833
Ready for it.

485
00:21:32,833 --> 00:21:35,377
Kai Huang Liu is on
one of Michael Prince's jets.

486
00:21:36,461 --> 00:21:38,005
Prince lent our perp his plane?

487
00:21:38,005 --> 00:21:39,840
Accessory after the fact.

488
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,967
- At least.
- Where's the plane now?

489
00:21:41,967 --> 00:21:43,135
Still in U.S. airspace,
but we can assume

490
00:21:43,135 --> 00:21:44,136
they're headed to Taipei.

491
00:21:44,136 --> 00:21:45,637
Don't assume. Find out.

492
00:21:45,637 --> 00:21:47,639
I've got a guy at the FAA.

493
00:21:47,639 --> 00:21:49,516
He can update us with
nav reports every half hour.

494
00:21:49,516 --> 00:21:51,476
Hm, not good enough.

495
00:21:51,476 --> 00:21:55,522
I have to know how far they can
get without needing to refuel.

496
00:21:55,522 --> 00:21:59,276
And background on the pilot.
Maybe he'll cooperate.

497
00:21:59,276 --> 00:22:01,403
Prince is gonna deny any
prior knowledge of wrongdoing.

498
00:22:01,403 --> 00:22:03,947
We'll worry about that
when we get the kid in custody.

499
00:22:03,947 --> 00:22:06,325
Prince has a federal fugitive
on his plane.

500
00:22:06,325 --> 00:22:08,618
We have him in violation
of 181071.

501
00:22:08,618 --> 00:22:10,829
First, let's indict Liu.

502
00:22:10,829 --> 00:22:12,831
Warrant's still in effect,
but we can't serve it

503
00:22:12,831 --> 00:22:14,499
when the perp
is 30,000 feet up.

504
00:22:14,499 --> 00:22:16,668
Can we scramble fighter jets
and bring them down?

505
00:22:16,668 --> 00:22:18,670
[scoffs]
Whoa, Chuck.

506
00:22:18,670 --> 00:22:20,839
I know you mean
force the plane to land.

507
00:22:20,839 --> 00:22:21,923
[chuckles] Do I?

508
00:22:24,676 --> 00:22:27,554
Yes, for the record, I do.

509
00:22:28,847 --> 00:22:30,015
[Chuck sighs]

510
00:22:31,016 --> 00:22:33,685
Okay, uh...

511
00:22:33,685 --> 00:22:35,187
Start by alerting the FAA

512
00:22:35,187 --> 00:22:36,855
we have a warrant
for Liu's arrest.

513
00:22:36,855 --> 00:22:39,024
They'll notify the pilot
of a mandatory return

514
00:22:39,024 --> 00:22:40,400
to his point of departure.

515
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,652
I say wait until they land.

516
00:22:42,652 --> 00:22:45,489
Taiwan is highly cooperative
in extraditing to the U.S.

517
00:22:45,489 --> 00:22:49,034
They'll send him back, we'll
hold him in jail, pending trial.

518
00:22:49,034 --> 00:22:50,702
Put a lot of pressure
on everyone.

519
00:22:50,702 --> 00:22:52,704
I don't want to involve
international authorities.

520
00:22:52,704 --> 00:22:55,374
Opens political avenues
outside my control,

521
00:22:55,374 --> 00:22:58,168
gives Prince too much room
to insulate himself.

522
00:22:58,168 --> 00:22:59,711
[Amanda]
Are you sure, sir?

523
00:22:59,711 --> 00:23:01,505
Once that plane
leaves our airspace,

524
00:23:01,505 --> 00:23:02,964
it expands the menu of charges
we can hit Prince with

525
00:23:02,964 --> 00:23:05,300
- from a hot-dog cart to Denny's.
- No.

526
00:23:05,300 --> 00:23:06,802
Let's not make this
too elaborate.

527
00:23:06,802 --> 00:23:08,220
Simple story is best.

528
00:23:08,220 --> 00:23:09,388
Okay.

529
00:23:09,388 --> 00:23:11,306
I guess I get that.

530
00:23:11,306 --> 00:23:12,641
My self-defense teacher
always says don't go

531
00:23:12,641 --> 00:23:14,142
for the back-spinning
heel kick

532
00:23:14,142 --> 00:23:15,102
when you can just
knee him in the sack.

533
00:23:17,187 --> 00:23:18,814
Quite so.

534
00:23:18,814 --> 00:23:20,649
You need to
ground your plane, Mike.

535
00:23:20,649 --> 00:23:21,817
FAA just reached out.

536
00:23:21,817 --> 00:23:23,068
Which one? And why?

537
00:23:23,068 --> 00:23:24,986
The Bombardier.

538
00:23:24,986 --> 00:23:26,571
who has the Bombardier
in the air right now?

539
00:23:26,571 --> 00:23:28,073
Mr. Liu's chief of staff called

540
00:23:28,073 --> 00:23:29,574
and asked for
a flight to Taiwan.

541
00:23:29,574 --> 00:23:30,700
His plane had
a mechanical issue.

542
00:23:30,700 --> 00:23:32,244
We offered the courtesy.

543
00:23:32,244 --> 00:23:34,413
The courtesy? I mean,
my friends and I ask

544
00:23:34,413 --> 00:23:36,373
when we borrow
each other's cars.

545
00:23:36,373 --> 00:23:38,959
Mr. Liu pays for the gas
and crew when he uses it.

546
00:23:38,959 --> 00:23:41,253
We offer this to him
and a few others like him.

547
00:23:41,253 --> 00:23:42,712
He does the same for us.

548
00:23:42,712 --> 00:23:44,589
Well, that's the what, Kate.
The why?

549
00:23:44,589 --> 00:23:46,299
An arrest warrant was issued
for a passenger on board.

550
00:23:46,299 --> 00:23:48,301
Some kind of a federal offense.

551
00:23:48,301 --> 00:23:50,303
Scooter,
raise the pilot for me.

552
00:23:53,849 --> 00:23:55,559
- [line rings]
- [man] <i>Yes, sir?</i>

553
00:23:55,559 --> 00:23:57,144
Who's in the air with you now?
How many?

554
00:23:57,144 --> 00:24:00,689
<i>Just one passenger.
Male. Liu. 22.</i>

555
00:24:00,689 --> 00:24:02,774
No, Kai's 50.

556
00:24:04,734 --> 00:24:06,236
It's the son.

557
00:24:06,236 --> 00:24:07,946
His office said
it was for dad.

558
00:24:07,946 --> 00:24:09,781
Of course they did.

559
00:24:09,781 --> 00:24:10,949
He must have used the fact
that they have the same name

560
00:24:10,949 --> 00:24:12,659
as a workaround
on the manifest.

561
00:24:14,661 --> 00:24:15,745
Fuel status?

562
00:24:15,745 --> 00:24:17,456
<i>We're at 1900 gallons.</i>

563
00:24:17,456 --> 00:24:19,124
Nine more hours in the air.

564
00:24:19,124 --> 00:24:20,917
<i>Enough to get us to
the Aleutians to refuel.</i>

565
00:24:20,917 --> 00:24:23,128
No, not anymore. Kill
the in-flight monitors first.

566
00:24:23,128 --> 00:24:24,546
Then I want you to fly a loop.

567
00:24:24,546 --> 00:24:25,922
A big one he can hardly feel.

568
00:24:25,922 --> 00:24:27,632
No, no,
don't instruct them to--

569
00:24:27,632 --> 00:24:29,092
You can't, Mike.

570
00:24:29,092 --> 00:24:30,093
Stay within US borders, continental,

571
00:24:30,093 --> 00:24:31,887
and keep a clear margin.

572
00:24:31,887 --> 00:24:33,305
I want you to hold that pattern
until I can figure out

573
00:24:33,305 --> 00:24:34,890
what the frick
is really happening here.

574
00:24:34,890 --> 00:24:36,141
Don't talk to anyone else.

575
00:24:36,141 --> 00:24:37,809
All orders will be direct.

576
00:24:42,981 --> 00:24:45,275
This is Chuck coming after me.

577
00:24:45,275 --> 00:24:47,986
They seem to be keeping
the plane in the air.

578
00:24:49,571 --> 00:24:51,781
[Chuck] Pull in
our contact at the FAA,

579
00:24:51,781 --> 00:24:54,618
get transcripts of all
communication between the pilot

580
00:24:54,618 --> 00:24:56,661
and air traffic,
maybe we can learn something.

581
00:24:56,661 --> 00:24:59,956
By not immediately ordering
his plane to land,

582
00:24:59,956 --> 00:25:01,958
Prince just ticked off
two of the three criteria

583
00:25:01,958 --> 00:25:03,793
for the federal crime
of aiding a fugitive.

584
00:25:03,793 --> 00:25:05,212
Mm-hmm.

585
00:25:05,212 --> 00:25:07,005
Defendant's actions
were intended to prevent

586
00:25:07,005 --> 00:25:08,924
the fugitive's discovery;
and the defendant committed

587
00:25:08,924 --> 00:25:10,800
one or more physical acts--
phone call counts--

588
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,679
to help the fugitive
avoid arrest.

589
00:25:14,679 --> 00:25:16,515
It's close to enough
to indict Prince already.

590
00:25:16,515 --> 00:25:18,517
All right.
Officially indict the kid.

591
00:25:18,517 --> 00:25:22,145
Then, yeah, begin preparing
charges against Prince.

592
00:25:22,145 --> 00:25:24,272
And do it Cannonball Adderley
style--with tempo.

593
00:25:26,316 --> 00:25:28,610
This is a diplomatic
and P.R. disaster.

594
00:25:28,610 --> 00:25:31,196
No, this is a prosecutor
harassing a private citizen.

595
00:25:31,196 --> 00:25:33,031
I am all for fighting,
but once the FAA,

596
00:25:33,031 --> 00:25:35,200
operating on instructions
from the Department of Justice,

597
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,953
orders a plane down,
plane needs to come down.

598
00:25:37,953 --> 00:25:39,371
Then we can defend our position.

599
00:25:39,371 --> 00:25:41,122
If the order is
legitimate to begin with.

600
00:25:41,122 --> 00:25:44,501
Yes. But first, the order
needs to be obeyed.

601
00:25:44,501 --> 00:25:47,587
Aiding a fugitive. That's
what they'll whack you with.

602
00:25:47,587 --> 00:25:49,256
I just lent out my plane.

603
00:25:49,256 --> 00:25:51,174
And it was borrowed
under false pretenses.

604
00:25:52,425 --> 00:25:53,843
If it doesn't stick in court,

605
00:25:53,843 --> 00:25:55,887
it will in the papers.
Like pine tar.

606
00:25:55,887 --> 00:25:58,265
Might stick in court, too.

607
00:25:58,265 --> 00:26:00,392
Let's get the plane to ground,

608
00:26:00,392 --> 00:26:02,102
hand over the kid.
Simple as it gets.

609
00:26:02,102 --> 00:26:03,520
Nothing's ever that simple.

610
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,438
Mike and Liu are not just
"in business."

611
00:26:05,438 --> 00:26:07,065
They've made
billions together,

612
00:26:07,065 --> 00:26:08,942
with agreements that will
make billions more.

613
00:26:08,942 --> 00:26:11,319
Plus, we're friends.
Trading partners.

614
00:26:11,319 --> 00:26:13,572
And if I hose my trading partner
in the way you're suggesting,

615
00:26:13,572 --> 00:26:16,074
no one will ever want to do
business with me again.

616
00:26:16,074 --> 00:26:18,034
Also, it won't look good
to the business types

617
00:26:18,034 --> 00:26:19,494
whose votes we're courting.

618
00:26:19,494 --> 00:26:21,037
Well, this is a big, hairy

619
00:26:21,037 --> 00:26:22,747
ball-aching problem.

620
00:26:22,747 --> 00:26:24,666
Is that an official
political term?

621
00:26:24,666 --> 00:26:27,252
Paints a more vivid picture
than "international incident."

622
00:26:27,252 --> 00:26:29,212
[scoffs]

623
00:26:29,212 --> 00:26:32,424
I'm in the process of taking
over the national stage,

624
00:26:32,424 --> 00:26:34,759
and while I didn't get here
by folding to the first flunky

625
00:26:34,759 --> 00:26:36,428
that gave me an order,

626
00:26:36,428 --> 00:26:38,430
I suppose I can try to work
within the parameters.

627
00:26:38,430 --> 00:26:40,932
Kate, can you get somewhere
with Chuck directly?

628
00:26:40,932 --> 00:26:42,767
Go to him as though
we're complying,

629
00:26:42,767 --> 00:26:44,894
see if there's any way
we can get the focus off of us.

630
00:26:44,894 --> 00:26:46,771
Eh, worth a shot.

631
00:26:46,771 --> 00:26:49,274
I'll at least get our point
of view on the record with him.

632
00:26:52,152 --> 00:26:54,946
Still no official category
designation as of now

633
00:26:54,946 --> 00:26:56,823
but at this point,
all signs are pointing

634
00:26:56,823 --> 00:26:58,450
to a Category Five.

635
00:26:58,450 --> 00:26:59,534
So, we're all just gonna
sit here and watch

636
00:26:59,534 --> 00:27:01,536
our comp plummet
by a third?

637
00:27:01,536 --> 00:27:03,830
Yeah, if it's rated Cat Five,
it's gonna be worse than that.

638
00:27:03,830 --> 00:27:06,916
Southern Property & Casualty's
about to make us her bitch.

639
00:27:06,916 --> 00:27:08,960
Last Cat Five was years ago.

640
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:10,962
They may not wanna
scare the public.

641
00:27:10,962 --> 00:27:12,714
They don't get to decide.

642
00:27:12,714 --> 00:27:14,299
They just report what it is.

643
00:27:14,299 --> 00:27:16,843
Winds were up
to 172 miles per hour.

644
00:27:16,843 --> 00:27:19,512
Rating's empirical.
As you just said,

645
00:27:19,512 --> 00:27:21,348
this quarter's screwed.

646
00:27:21,348 --> 00:27:24,142
Maybe the whole year.

647
00:27:24,142 --> 00:27:26,645
[reporter] <i>Breaking news from
the National Weather Service.</i>

648
00:27:26,645 --> 00:27:28,146
Shh! Shh! Everyone!

649
00:27:28,146 --> 00:27:29,939
<i>Despite recent readings
and reports,</i>

650
00:27:29,939 --> 00:27:32,108

<i>And once storms hit land,

00:27:45,163 --> 00:27:47,082
[sighs]
<i>Madonn',</i> that was close.

659
00:27:47,082 --> 00:27:49,459
[reporter continues low]

660
00:27:49,459 --> 00:27:51,169
I almost had a panic attack.

661
00:27:51,169 --> 00:27:52,629
I thought I heard wheezing.

662
00:27:52,629 --> 00:27:54,339
Pay up, DB!

663
00:27:54,339 --> 00:27:56,883
That's ten Gs from you to me.

664
00:27:56,883 --> 00:27:58,677
You don't have Zelle

665
00:28:00,679 --> 00:28:02,847
Check your account.
It's already there.

666
00:28:02,847 --> 00:28:04,224
Nice. Thanks, Bill.

667
00:28:04,224 --> 00:28:07,018
Don't-- Don't thank me.

668
00:28:07,018 --> 00:28:09,229
You won a bet.

669
00:28:09,229 --> 00:28:10,980
Only time I've ever
been happy to lose one.

670
00:28:10,980 --> 00:28:13,692
You got off cheap.
We all did.

671
00:28:13,692 --> 00:28:16,361
Don't wanna think about if the
Cat score went the other way.

672
00:28:16,361 --> 00:28:18,822
Prayers up to Thor, Zeus,

673
00:28:18,822 --> 00:28:20,782
and of course, Oh Mighty Isis:

674
00:28:20,782 --> 00:28:24,160
Thank you for getting
Southern Property & Casualty

675
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:25,787
off the hook.

676
00:28:25,787 --> 00:28:27,997
Is that who you're
chalking it up to?

677
00:28:29,332 --> 00:28:31,292
Huh. Fascinating.

678
00:28:41,761 --> 00:28:43,221
You knew.

679
00:28:44,222 --> 00:28:46,224
I know many things.

680
00:28:46,224 --> 00:28:48,059
The delicate smell of
a Manzanilla sherry

681
00:28:48,059 --> 00:28:49,394
cask whiskey.

682
00:28:49,394 --> 00:28:51,980
What a point-six
waist to hip ratio

683
00:28:51,980 --> 00:28:54,190
looks like from
fifteen yards away.

684
00:28:54,190 --> 00:28:57,694
The exact years Susan Anton
was partial to mustaches.

685
00:28:57,694 --> 00:28:59,404
"Ass end of it," you said.

686
00:28:59,404 --> 00:29:01,865
And our catastrophe bonds
are now suddenly safe.

687
00:29:01,865 --> 00:29:04,284
Like that warden
in <i>Shawshank</i> said,

688
00:29:04,284 --> 00:29:06,286
"It's a miracle.
Praise the Lord."

689
00:29:06,286 --> 00:29:07,704
Only he said it sarcastically

690
00:29:07,704 --> 00:29:09,247
because he knew
it was no miracle

691
00:29:09,247 --> 00:29:10,957
the prisoner had
disappeared from his cell.

692
00:29:10,957 --> 00:29:12,876
That it was a secret,
calculated effort.

693
00:29:12,876 --> 00:29:16,796
Andy Dufresne's escape
was a meticulously planned,

694
00:29:16,796 --> 00:29:20,800
very-difficult-to-work-out,
very smart operation.

695
00:29:22,677 --> 00:29:24,846
How did you know?

696
00:29:24,846 --> 00:29:26,556
I saw the issue coming,

697
00:29:26,556 --> 00:29:29,350
so I took steps as I saw fit

698
00:29:29,350 --> 00:29:31,144
for the benefit
of the enterprise.

699
00:29:31,144 --> 00:29:32,729
What steps could
possibly change

700
00:29:32,729 --> 00:29:33,980
the climatological reality

701
00:29:33,980 --> 00:29:35,565
of an in-process
hurricane?

702
00:29:38,651 --> 00:29:39,944
It's all in your core.

703
00:29:39,944 --> 00:29:41,696
- All right, just keep...
- All right, bye.

704
00:29:41,696 --> 00:29:43,573
Hey, babe!

705
00:29:43,573 --> 00:29:45,450
You never visit me at the gym.

706
00:29:45,450 --> 00:29:47,076
Never even go to the gym.

707
00:29:47,076 --> 00:29:49,120
I missed you so much
I had to come to this

708
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,790
godforsaken land of musk
and grotesque effort

709
00:29:51,790 --> 00:29:53,374
- to see you.
- [chuckles]

710
00:29:54,918 --> 00:29:56,586
Whoa, that's Roker!

711
00:29:56,586 --> 00:29:57,921
[instructor]
Yeah, that was great, man.

712
00:29:57,921 --> 00:29:59,631
- Mr. Roker.
- Yeah.

713
00:29:59,631 --> 00:30:01,591
I had forgotten you shared
this hour with Chelz.

714
00:30:01,591 --> 00:30:03,635
- It's good to see you.
- Good to see you, Wagster.

715
00:30:03,635 --> 00:30:04,969
You want to work in?

716
00:30:04,969 --> 00:30:06,304
No, I never sweat
before bedtime.

717
00:30:06,304 --> 00:30:07,972
[chuckles]
Look, Al, I need you

718
00:30:07,972 --> 00:30:10,767
to enlighten me
on all things hurricane.

719
00:30:10,767 --> 00:30:11,976
Okay, hit me.

720
00:30:11,976 --> 00:30:14,270
How exactly do they get rated?

721
00:30:14,270 --> 00:30:17,148
Wags, this is
a multi-agency process.

722
00:30:17,148 --> 00:30:18,775
You've got
the National Weather Service,

723
00:30:18,775 --> 00:30:20,693
you've got
the National Oceanic

724
00:30:20,693 --> 00:30:23,488
and Atmospheric Administration,
you've even got the Air Force!

725
00:30:23,488 --> 00:30:26,157
They fly these special planes
called Hurricane Hunters,

726
00:30:26,157 --> 00:30:27,659
right into the storm.

727
00:30:27,659 --> 00:30:29,327
They take real-time data,

728
00:30:29,327 --> 00:30:31,496
relay it back to
the National Hurricane Center.

729
00:30:31,496 --> 00:30:33,331
It's there,
they crunch the numbers

730
00:30:33,331 --> 00:30:35,458
and come up with
a hurricane's category.

731
00:30:35,458 --> 00:30:38,002
So, it's a person
who makes the actual call.

732
00:30:38,002 --> 00:30:39,504
Exactly.

733
00:30:41,047 --> 00:30:42,507
Fantastic.

734
00:30:42,507 --> 00:30:44,342
See?

735
00:30:44,342 --> 00:30:47,011
While science may be empirical,

736
00:30:47,011 --> 00:30:48,847
bureaucracy is not.

737
00:30:48,847 --> 00:30:51,724
And anywhere
human error is in effect,

738
00:30:51,724 --> 00:30:53,518
well, that's where I get busy.

739
00:30:53,518 --> 00:30:55,520
You paid off
the hurricane grader.

740
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:56,855
She's a woman of science,

741
00:30:56,855 --> 00:30:58,273
who happens to be set up with

742
00:30:58,273 --> 00:30:59,691
quite a charitable
research grant

743
00:30:59,691 --> 00:31:01,109
when she retires next year.

744
00:31:01,109 --> 00:31:04,904
[Prince] Get him now!

745
00:31:06,197 --> 00:31:07,574
Now!

746
00:31:11,077 --> 00:31:12,328
He wants to see you.

747
00:31:12,328 --> 00:31:14,414
Now, I'm guessing?

748
00:31:16,583 --> 00:31:18,418
If I asked you to guess
at what my priorities are,

749
00:31:18,418 --> 00:31:19,711
how would
you enumerate them?

750
00:31:19,711 --> 00:31:21,379
Your daughters first.
Then--

751
00:31:21,379 --> 00:31:23,006
Don't muck around.
Besides family.

752
00:31:23,006 --> 00:31:25,008
You want me to say
the presidency.

753
00:31:25,008 --> 00:31:26,718
I'm already fighting
my butt off

754
00:31:26,718 --> 00:31:29,220
so some BS aviation scandal
doesn't knock me out.

755
00:31:29,220 --> 00:31:30,847
I never thought the bigger
threat would come from--

756
00:31:30,847 --> 00:31:32,724
Inside the house. Sure.
Not what's happening.

757
00:31:32,724 --> 00:31:34,434
Do you think before you act?

758
00:31:34,434 --> 00:31:36,185
Are you capable of that?

759
00:31:36,185 --> 00:31:38,062
Depends what's in my system.
But usually, yes.

760
00:31:38,062 --> 00:31:41,399
Wrong answer. Impulsivity
would at least be an excuse.

761
00:31:41,399 --> 00:31:42,901
Okay. Let's go with that, then.

762
00:31:42,901 --> 00:31:46,112
But let's stipulate that
my mélange of foresight

763
00:31:46,112 --> 00:31:47,822
and impulsivity is precisely why

764
00:31:47,822 --> 00:31:50,158
I am bespoke for my role here.

765
00:31:50,158 --> 00:31:52,285
I think fast, act faster.

766
00:31:52,285 --> 00:31:54,913
You don't get a special pass
for being who you are.

767
00:31:54,913 --> 00:31:56,956
This isn't like extra time
on your ACT.

768
00:31:56,956 --> 00:31:58,750
I took the SAT like a real man.

769
00:31:58,750 --> 00:32:00,043
I didn't need to make excuses

770
00:32:00,043 --> 00:32:01,252
for myself then,
and I won't now.

771
00:32:01,252 --> 00:32:03,421
Wags, change gears.

772
00:32:03,421 --> 00:32:05,506
They feel there's reason
to fire you for cause.

773
00:32:05,506 --> 00:32:06,758
He's going to fire me
for single-handedly

774
00:32:06,758 --> 00:32:08,217
saving him from losing

775
00:32:08,217 --> 00:32:10,929
the gross domestic product
of Bhutan?

776
00:32:10,929 --> 00:32:12,597
No, because you only had
enough theory of mind

777
00:32:12,597 --> 00:32:15,600
to consider one
small facet of the issue.

778
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,519
It doesn't take a Kasparov
to see the problem you caused.

779
00:32:18,519 --> 00:32:20,396
Thousands of people's homes
just got blown away.

780
00:32:20,396 --> 00:32:22,482
Southern Casualty is up
to its neck in claims,

781
00:32:22,482 --> 00:32:24,317
and Mike's bonds are pristine.

782
00:32:24,317 --> 00:32:26,110
The press will paint him
as a Wall Street scammer

783
00:32:26,110 --> 00:32:29,238
who protected his money at
the expense of citizens in need.

784
00:32:29,238 --> 00:32:32,617
If anyone finds out what you've
done, my run is G.D. over!

785
00:32:32,617 --> 00:32:34,118
But if those bonds
were triggered,

786
00:32:34,118 --> 00:32:36,287
it would have reduced
the floor and fund

787
00:32:36,287 --> 00:32:38,122
to stringy, bloody carnage.

788
00:32:38,122 --> 00:32:40,959
We were facing an Act of God.
I responded in kind!

789
00:32:40,959 --> 00:32:42,585
[Luke]
You think you're a god,

790
00:32:42,585 --> 00:32:43,962
but you caused
a domestic crisis

791
00:32:43,962 --> 00:32:45,630
on top of our
international crisis

792
00:32:45,630 --> 00:32:47,340
and upcoming cultural crisis.

793
00:32:47,340 --> 00:32:49,300
You're a fucking liability.

794
00:32:49,300 --> 00:32:51,594
Thus spoke the politician.

795
00:32:51,594 --> 00:32:53,137
But I'm a businessman!

796
00:32:53,137 --> 00:32:54,639
Money is politics.
Especially mine.

797
00:32:54,639 --> 00:32:56,307
You work for both now.

798
00:32:56,307 --> 00:32:57,850
Then I should have
been told what the shot was.

799
00:32:57,850 --> 00:33:00,061
You shouldn't have to be told.

800
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,108
What's bad for the campaign
is bad for MPC.

801
00:33:05,108 --> 00:33:07,610
And me.
Hurting one hurts all.

802
00:33:07,610 --> 00:33:10,613
Okay.

803
00:33:10,613 --> 00:33:13,157
it's true that now,
by the light of day,

804
00:33:13,157 --> 00:33:15,827
I get that there might
have been a corner or two

805
00:33:15,827 --> 00:33:17,829
I didn't see completely around.

806
00:33:19,330 --> 00:33:21,165
Good. I think we can all agree

807
00:33:21,165 --> 00:33:23,835
that accepting blame for this
and growing from it is change.

808
00:33:24,877 --> 00:33:26,337
That's good for everyone.

809
00:33:31,884 --> 00:33:34,178
Yes. No doubt.

810
00:33:35,179 --> 00:33:36,514
My bad.

811
00:33:38,683 --> 00:33:40,226
I know you know
I was trying to help.

812
00:33:42,603 --> 00:33:44,814
I suppose I actually do.

813
00:33:44,814 --> 00:33:46,065
We all do.

814
00:33:47,734 --> 00:33:50,236
Good. And now I will
get back to it.

815
00:34:05,752 --> 00:34:07,045
[clears throat]

816
00:34:16,262 --> 00:34:18,556
You know, I was just wondering
why you had them call me

817
00:34:18,556 --> 00:34:20,016
to ground the plane
instead of having

818
00:34:20,016 --> 00:34:21,392
the FAA call
the pilot direct.

819
00:34:21,392 --> 00:34:23,311
Well, I was doing you
the courtesy,

820
00:34:23,311 --> 00:34:25,063
before making an incident
out of it.

821
00:34:25,063 --> 00:34:26,731
No, you knew you could
embarrass Prince

822
00:34:26,731 --> 00:34:28,232
just by having
his plane turn around.

823
00:34:28,232 --> 00:34:29,734
But instead,
you took the bigger shot,

824
00:34:29,734 --> 00:34:31,235
hoping that
he'd defy your order--

825
00:34:31,235 --> 00:34:33,071
that Prince himself would. But...

826
00:34:33,071 --> 00:34:35,740
'Course, Prince would never defy
an order like that.

827
00:34:35,740 --> 00:34:37,742
Yet the plane still flies.

828
00:34:37,742 --> 00:34:40,036
Just a holding pattern.

829
00:34:40,036 --> 00:34:42,038
There's a hurricane ripping
through the Eastern Seaboard,

830
00:34:42,038 --> 00:34:44,415
in case you hadn't noticed.
Flight paths are a mess,

831
00:34:44,415 --> 00:34:46,042
which is why he merely
instructed the pilot

832
00:34:46,042 --> 00:34:48,086
to stay in the air
until it was safe...

833
00:34:48,086 --> 00:34:49,420
to return.

834
00:34:52,090 --> 00:34:53,382
Follow me, Ms. Sacker.

835
00:34:55,927 --> 00:34:57,095
Come on.

836
00:35:03,434 --> 00:35:05,228
Ira, where are we
with the charges?

837
00:35:05,228 --> 00:35:06,771
Full steam ahead.

838
00:35:06,771 --> 00:35:08,272
Preconditions for the crimes
have been met.

839
00:35:08,272 --> 00:35:09,899
No, you didn't walk me
in here for this.

840
00:35:09,899 --> 00:35:11,317
You walked me
in here to see that.

841
00:35:14,112 --> 00:35:16,447
I could say I'd
forgotten it was up.

842
00:35:16,447 --> 00:35:17,907
Chuck.

843
00:35:17,907 --> 00:35:19,617
You used to run
a tight enough office

844
00:35:19,617 --> 00:35:21,035
that your murder boards
were covered when visitors

845
00:35:21,035 --> 00:35:22,203
were anywhere in the building.

846
00:35:22,203 --> 00:35:23,788
I run a transparent shop now.

847
00:35:23,788 --> 00:35:26,249
- So, no need.
- Hm.

848
00:35:26,249 --> 00:35:27,792
Did you want me
to walk you through

849
00:35:27,792 --> 00:35:29,460
why every one of these
leads on Mike Prince

850
00:35:29,460 --> 00:35:31,462
- is a dead end, or...?
- Nah, save us both the time.

851
00:35:31,462 --> 00:35:33,464
What you need to know is this:

852
00:35:33,464 --> 00:35:35,800
we're not merely watching
and waiting to pounce.

853
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:37,468
We're gonna tell you
what we're gonna do,

854
00:35:37,468 --> 00:35:38,928
and then we're gonna do it.

855
00:35:38,928 --> 00:35:41,264
No stealth needed,
especially in this case,

856
00:35:41,264 --> 00:35:43,474
because Kai Huang Liu
is a fugitive.

857
00:35:43,474 --> 00:35:46,144
And he's on your guy's plane
instead of in my custody

858
00:35:46,144 --> 00:35:47,937
because he's
a billionaire's buddy.

859
00:35:47,937 --> 00:35:50,815
Hm. You can't arrest people
for having family friends.

860
00:35:50,815 --> 00:35:53,025
If you could, your father's
connections would've had you

861
00:35:53,025 --> 00:35:55,319
locked up before
your career even started.

862
00:35:55,319 --> 00:35:57,864
Enjoying the privilege of
our fathers is something you,

863
00:35:57,864 --> 00:36:00,491
I, and Liu the younger
all share.

864
00:36:00,491 --> 00:36:02,827
What sets us apart from him

865
00:36:02,827 --> 00:36:05,454
is we haven't committed
crimes under the assumption

866
00:36:05,454 --> 00:36:06,831
that our father's
wealthy cronies

867
00:36:06,831 --> 00:36:08,457
are gonna help us
get away with it.

868
00:36:10,793 --> 00:36:12,628
No jury's gonna be
sympathetic to a rich kid

869
00:36:12,628 --> 00:36:15,423
pulling an NFT scam,
not these days.

870
00:36:15,423 --> 00:36:17,925
Neither will they be
sympathetic to Prince

871
00:36:17,925 --> 00:36:20,970
colluding to help that
progeny avoid justice.

872
00:36:20,970 --> 00:36:23,598
Except no jury's ever
gonna hear this case

873
00:36:23,598 --> 00:36:26,309
because you can't prove that
my client had prior knowledge

874
00:36:26,309 --> 00:36:29,020
of Mr. Liu's wrongdoing,
because he had none.

875
00:36:29,020 --> 00:36:31,772
Let alone prove that Prince knew
of your perp's intent to flee,

876
00:36:31,772 --> 00:36:33,357
because he didn't.

877
00:36:33,357 --> 00:36:36,944
You spin faster than
a Barry Zito curveball,

878
00:36:36,944 --> 00:36:39,530
but that won't matter
once we get Liu back.

879
00:36:39,530 --> 00:36:41,866
I don't need to.
I have unassailable evidence:

880
00:36:41,866 --> 00:36:44,035
A decade of my client
and Liu Senior

881
00:36:44,035 --> 00:36:45,661
borrowing each other's
planes as needed

882
00:36:45,661 --> 00:36:47,330
without direct prior contact,

883
00:36:47,330 --> 00:36:49,707
and Prince's complete phone
and email records

884
00:36:49,707 --> 00:36:51,542
from the last 48 hours

885
00:36:51,542 --> 00:36:53,753
proving he had no knowledge of
the incident before it occurred,

886
00:36:53,753 --> 00:36:55,546
all of which we will
provide voluntarily.

887
00:36:55,546 --> 00:36:57,381
No subpoena necessary.

888
00:36:57,381 --> 00:36:59,008
Hm.

889
00:36:59,008 --> 00:37:00,885
So, what are you offering?

890
00:37:00,885 --> 00:37:03,930
Nothing. Prince will either
land that jet now,

891
00:37:03,930 --> 00:37:05,640
or he will go down

892
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,476
like the Rosenbergs
in the press.

893
00:37:08,476 --> 00:37:09,977
Or as Aldrich Ames,
for anybody

894
00:37:09,977 --> 00:37:12,355
who can't remember
the Rosenbergs.

895
00:37:12,355 --> 00:37:14,398
And for those who can't
remember Aldrich Ames?

896
00:37:14,398 --> 00:37:16,108
As a fucking traitor.

897
00:37:16,108 --> 00:37:17,985
Oh, you're right,
you are transparent now.

898
00:37:17,985 --> 00:37:19,528
Go run back and tell him.

899
00:37:19,528 --> 00:37:21,072
Let me know what he says.

900
00:37:21,072 --> 00:37:22,990
Unless he has the gristle
to face me himself.

901
00:37:31,707 --> 00:37:32,917
[door closes]

902
00:37:42,468 --> 00:37:45,054
Lot of good feeling down there
about the hurricane situation,

903
00:37:45,054 --> 00:37:48,432
though I imagine it
played differently up here.

904
00:37:48,432 --> 00:37:50,101
Of course you do.

905
00:37:50,101 --> 00:37:52,186
I remember your mother
telling me that you taught

906
00:37:52,186 --> 00:37:55,273
the members of your chess club
how to play poker

907
00:37:55,273 --> 00:37:56,649
in, what, sixth grade?

908
00:37:56,649 --> 00:37:58,276
So that by the time
they were in high school

909
00:37:58,276 --> 00:37:59,652
and had some spending money,

910
00:37:59,652 --> 00:38:01,654
they'd be ready
to lose it to you.

911
00:38:01,654 --> 00:38:04,156
Sometimes you see the way
a game should be played.

912
00:38:04,156 --> 00:38:06,701
And the B-side to that is by
the time I was in 11th grade,

913
00:38:06,701 --> 00:38:08,494
I'd decided to save
the money I'd won

914
00:38:08,494 --> 00:38:10,079
and throw them all a party--
all of us--

915
00:38:10,079 --> 00:38:11,622
at the end of senior year

916
00:38:11,622 --> 00:38:13,541
because I felt bad
about taking the money.

917
00:38:13,541 --> 00:38:15,418
Because you wanted them to know
that you could have kept it

918
00:38:15,418 --> 00:38:18,963
but chose to give it back
in high style.

919
00:38:18,963 --> 00:38:22,049
No surprise you understand both
sides of the insurance problem.

920
00:38:22,049 --> 00:38:24,677
But I came up here
for a different reason.

921
00:38:24,677 --> 00:38:26,804
To tell you that
you are doing something

922
00:38:26,804 --> 00:38:28,639
that I did not see coming.

923
00:38:29,765 --> 00:38:32,059
Conducting, man!

924
00:38:32,059 --> 00:38:34,145
I'm so psyched about it.
I told Mom.

925
00:38:34,145 --> 00:38:36,647
She told the rest of the fam.
They're all gonna come.

926
00:38:36,647 --> 00:38:38,649
I'm flying 'em in.

927
00:38:38,649 --> 00:38:40,568
I'll defray the cost of that.

928
00:38:40,568 --> 00:38:43,154
No way. I want to do it.

929
00:38:43,154 --> 00:38:44,947
Since Prince already
gave you the baton,

930
00:38:44,947 --> 00:38:45,990
let me make this gift to you.

931
00:38:45,990 --> 00:38:47,992
Man, that baton.

932
00:38:49,285 --> 00:38:50,911
Such a moving gesture.

933
00:39:02,548 --> 00:39:07,303
But also-- and I can only
admit this to family--

934
00:39:07,303 --> 00:39:09,805
my throat went dry
when I saw it.

935
00:39:09,805 --> 00:39:11,640
- My palms were slick.
- That's good.

936
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:13,559
When was the last time
you were nervous?

937
00:39:15,353 --> 00:39:18,898
Been a long time since something
mattered this much to me.

938
00:39:18,898 --> 00:39:20,441
And to me alone.

939
00:39:20,441 --> 00:39:23,819
I figured. And I'm
happy about it for you.

940
00:39:23,819 --> 00:39:25,571
Yeah.

941
00:39:25,571 --> 00:39:27,031
I am, too.

942
00:39:40,586 --> 00:39:41,796
You see this shit?

943
00:39:44,715 --> 00:39:47,051
If you don't know this is
a disaster, you need lessons.

944
00:39:47,051 --> 00:39:49,553
Everything with you people
is a disaster.

945
00:39:49,553 --> 00:39:51,472
Or a make-or-break moment.

946
00:39:51,472 --> 00:39:55,267
Just lumping me in with every
other politico like that, huh?

947
00:39:56,435 --> 00:39:58,062
What distinguishes you?

948
00:39:58,062 --> 00:40:00,147
There's a question
you should have asked before

949
00:40:00,147 --> 00:40:01,899
just deciding
where to classify me.

950
00:40:01,899 --> 00:40:04,068
I would think before you
therapize someone,

951
00:40:04,068 --> 00:40:06,028
you do an intake, right?

952
00:40:06,028 --> 00:40:08,114
Well, that's also what human
beings do when we meet someone,

953
00:40:08,114 --> 00:40:09,990
so we see them beyond
just their profession.

954
00:40:11,242 --> 00:40:13,285
Do your job.

955
00:40:13,285 --> 00:40:16,080
see Prince through the Taiwan
thing and the hurricane mess.

956
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,542
Then, if you're still here,

957
00:40:19,542 --> 00:40:21,544
maybe I'll take the time.

958
00:40:35,349 --> 00:40:36,642
I-I don't want to
sit in that chair

959
00:40:36,642 --> 00:40:38,060
only to have to leave again

960
00:40:38,060 --> 00:40:39,145
before we get anything done.

961
00:40:39,145 --> 00:40:40,855
I came because you texted.

962
00:40:40,855 --> 00:40:42,273
Out of respect.

963
00:40:42,273 --> 00:40:44,525
And maybe to formally
say goodbye.

964
00:40:47,570 --> 00:40:49,363
I understand.

965
00:40:50,823 --> 00:40:53,200
You know,
if you asked me to tell you

966
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,786
the most challenging
work of my career,

967
00:40:55,786 --> 00:40:59,248
it might have been when I was
treating an Army chaplain.

968
00:40:59,248 --> 00:41:01,625
This man counseled officers

969
00:41:01,625 --> 00:41:04,753
who sent men to die in battle.

970
00:41:04,753 --> 00:41:08,132
His work centered around
removing their guilt.

971
00:41:08,132 --> 00:41:12,720
And as a result,
he took it all on himself.

972
00:41:12,720 --> 00:41:17,433
And he had found that
his prayers and devotion

973
00:41:17,433 --> 00:41:19,852
were no longer alleviating it.

974
00:41:19,852 --> 00:41:23,772
You were able to release him
from that burden?

975
00:41:23,772 --> 00:41:27,610
After five sessions with me,

976
00:41:27,610 --> 00:41:29,987
he quit the Army and the Church.

977
00:41:29,987 --> 00:41:31,655
He became a woodworker.

978
00:41:31,655 --> 00:41:35,493
Because he and I agreed
that in his case,

979
00:41:35,493 --> 00:41:37,661
he wasn't really needed.

980
00:41:37,661 --> 00:41:40,831
There were people
who could fill that role

981
00:41:40,831 --> 00:41:44,793
more effectively
than he at that time.

982
00:41:44,793 --> 00:41:49,590
True believers
who didn't harbor doubts.

983
00:41:49,590 --> 00:41:52,843
So, you think someone else can
stop what I'm trying to stop?

984
00:41:52,843 --> 00:41:54,178
No.

985
00:41:55,638 --> 00:41:57,515
But I do think
there are plenty of good,

986
00:41:57,515 --> 00:41:59,350
well-trained psychiatrists

987
00:41:59,350 --> 00:42:02,353
who can help your colleagues in
the way I was helping them.

988
00:42:03,854 --> 00:42:05,814
So, I have referred them out.

989
00:42:05,814 --> 00:42:07,525
Each and every one.

990
00:42:10,194 --> 00:42:11,612
And now...

991
00:42:11,612 --> 00:42:14,031
there is no conflict in doing

992
00:42:14,031 --> 00:42:17,284
this vitally important
work with you.

993
00:42:22,581 --> 00:42:24,416
Thank you.

994
00:42:24,416 --> 00:42:27,086
I understand the enormity
of that decision.

995
00:42:31,590 --> 00:42:33,092
They're going to lose
a lot seeing someone

996
00:42:33,092 --> 00:42:35,719
other than you.

997
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:38,764
Won't they lose more
if I don't help you succeed?

998
00:42:44,144 --> 00:42:47,731
It's clear that you
are a rational being

999
00:42:47,731 --> 00:42:50,234
and that what you have
determined about Prince

1000
00:42:50,234 --> 00:42:52,653
is quite likely the truth.

1001
00:42:54,989 --> 00:42:58,826
So, I will help you find a path

1002
00:42:58,826 --> 00:43:01,787
to doing what you must.

1003
00:43:05,749 --> 00:43:08,002
[exhales]

1004
00:43:10,462 --> 00:43:14,091
And yet, all day,
I have felt culpable...

1005
00:43:16,218 --> 00:43:17,886
out of sorts.

1006
00:43:17,886 --> 00:43:19,388
Anxious, even.

1007
00:43:19,388 --> 00:43:23,100
Oh. That's normal
in the circumstances.

1008
00:43:23,100 --> 00:43:25,894
Not for me.
I don't get anxious.

1009
00:43:25,894 --> 00:43:27,271
When I played college soccer,

1010
00:43:27,271 --> 00:43:29,148
I was first up
for penalty kicks in OT.

1011
00:43:29,148 --> 00:43:33,569
Because you were willing to
risk failure to help the team.

1012
00:43:33,569 --> 00:43:36,905
You were bonded with your team.

1013
00:43:36,905 --> 00:43:40,618
Here, your team
is going to get hurt,

1014
00:43:40,618 --> 00:43:43,412
financially and in other ways,

1015
00:43:43,412 --> 00:43:48,083
as you try to serve
the broader interest.

1016
00:43:48,083 --> 00:43:50,294
That's true, yes.

1017
00:43:53,297 --> 00:43:56,300
But beyond the team, there's
one person in particular

1018
00:43:56,300 --> 00:43:58,761
who's gonna be
collateral damage.

1019
00:43:58,761 --> 00:44:00,554
He was never
a patient of yours.

1020
00:44:00,554 --> 00:44:03,724
He's the guy Prince brought in
to run the campaign.

1021
00:44:03,724 --> 00:44:05,809
I like him.

1022
00:44:06,769 --> 00:44:09,146
He's smart and...

1023
00:44:09,146 --> 00:44:11,315
committed and engaged and...

1024
00:44:11,315 --> 00:44:14,234
on the kind of upward trajectory
few people ever have.

1025
00:44:14,234 --> 00:44:15,819
If it weren't for me.

1026
00:44:19,198 --> 00:44:22,993
Your face gets a little flushed
as you talk about him.

1027
00:44:24,620 --> 00:44:26,372
I believe you.

1028
00:44:28,707 --> 00:44:31,251
Well...

1029
00:44:31,251 --> 00:44:34,630
you're going to have to make
many choices along the way,

1030
00:44:34,630 --> 00:44:36,674
many sacrifices,

1031
00:44:36,674 --> 00:44:40,386
if you are going to carry out
your stated mission.

1032
00:44:42,429 --> 00:44:46,684
In this room, the mission
will be to keep you aligned,

1033
00:44:46,684 --> 00:44:51,814
to allow you to remind yourself
why you are doing it.

1034
00:44:51,814 --> 00:44:55,818
And to give you the chance
to say a private prayer

1035
00:44:55,818 --> 00:45:00,239
of repentance
for each and every one

1036
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:04,326
of the people you love
who you are going to hurt.

1037
00:45:04,326 --> 00:45:05,703
But that's all of them.

1038
00:45:07,371 --> 00:45:09,790
As I see it now, if I succeed
in taking Prince out,

1039
00:45:09,790 --> 00:45:12,042
I'm gonna have to rough up
each and every person

1040
00:45:12,042 --> 00:45:14,712
who works there
at some point along the way.

1041
00:45:14,712 --> 00:45:18,841
Then let's start
naming them now.

1042
00:45:18,841 --> 00:45:22,302
Feeling the pain,
it will cause you

1043
00:45:22,302 --> 00:45:24,054
to cause them pain.

1044
00:45:25,556 --> 00:45:27,641
And then, you will release it.

1045
00:45:28,726 --> 00:45:30,728
Breathe it out.

1046
00:45:30,728 --> 00:45:32,062
And move on.

1047
00:45:32,062 --> 00:45:34,064
Okay.

1048
00:45:35,065 --> 00:45:36,650
Let's do that.

1049
00:45:38,193 --> 00:45:40,404
How about we start
with the gentleman

1050
00:45:40,404 --> 00:45:42,364
who is bringing color
to your cheeks?

1051
00:45:42,364 --> 00:45:45,200
His name is Bradford Luke.

1052
00:45:46,618 --> 00:45:49,580
[indistinct chatter]

1053
00:45:55,919 --> 00:45:57,796
Interfering with public use.

1054
00:45:57,796 --> 00:45:59,465
Should I add that to the list?

1055
00:45:59,465 --> 00:46:01,925
- You want people to hear this?
- I'm an open book.

1056
00:46:01,925 --> 00:46:04,303
Unlike you.

1057
00:46:04,303 --> 00:46:06,555
What do you need to leave me
out of this, man?

1058
00:46:06,555 --> 00:46:08,766
The kid in cuffs
on American soil,

1059
00:46:08,766 --> 00:46:10,851
like I told Sacker
and she told you.

1060
00:46:10,851 --> 00:46:13,604
Do you want that?
You sort of do, sure.

1061
00:46:13,604 --> 00:46:15,606
A guy like you will always take
another feather in his cap.

1062
00:46:15,606 --> 00:46:17,357
But do you really
even give a darn?

1063
00:46:17,357 --> 00:46:19,568
You think I wear this pin
cynically?

1064
00:46:19,568 --> 00:46:21,445
[chuckling]
I know why you wear that pin.

1065
00:46:21,445 --> 00:46:23,697
Optics. Pandering.

1066
00:46:23,697 --> 00:46:25,949
Nixon popularized the practice,
for God's sake.

1067
00:46:25,949 --> 00:46:27,951
It's true. Haldeman saw
Redford wearing one

1068
00:46:27,951 --> 00:46:29,953
in <i>The Candidate</i>
and brought the idea back.

1069
00:46:29,953 --> 00:46:31,580
Nixon liked it so much,

1070
00:46:31,580 --> 00:46:33,040
he had the whole staff
sporting them.

1071
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:34,750
But like so many traditions,

1072
00:46:34,750 --> 00:46:36,460
most people don't
know how it started,

1073
00:46:36,460 --> 00:46:38,545
and more people don't care.

1074
00:46:38,545 --> 00:46:42,466
They only know how it makes
them feel to see it.

1075
00:46:42,466 --> 00:46:44,009
And what it stands for.

1076
00:46:45,844 --> 00:46:47,346
So, what do you really need?

1077
00:46:47,346 --> 00:46:48,889
Withdraw from the race.

1078
00:46:52,017 --> 00:46:54,353
Drop your so-called
presidential ambitions,

1079
00:46:54,353 --> 00:46:55,979
which are really
just a tarted-up way

1080
00:46:55,979 --> 00:46:57,940
of describing
your lust for power.

1081
00:46:58,857 --> 00:47:00,692
Go back to your office

1082
00:47:00,692 --> 00:47:02,319
and continue with your
standard-issue profiteering,

1083
00:47:02,319 --> 00:47:04,238
forget about
steering our nation,

1084
00:47:04,238 --> 00:47:05,864
and I'll back off.

1085
00:47:11,161 --> 00:47:12,538
You know, I've had
a lot of people

1086
00:47:12,538 --> 00:47:14,748
telling me what to do today.

1087
00:47:14,748 --> 00:47:17,334
Lot of good advice.
Well-intentioned, anyway.

1088
00:47:17,334 --> 00:47:19,461
About how I should
be doing things and why...

1089
00:47:19,461 --> 00:47:21,672
how it'll all look.

1090
00:47:21,672 --> 00:47:24,174
It'd gotten to the
point where saying "screw it"

1091
00:47:24,174 --> 00:47:26,009
and walking away was
starting to look pretty good.

1092
00:47:26,009 --> 00:47:27,636
Mm.

1093
00:47:27,636 --> 00:47:29,972
But then I remembered...

1094
00:47:29,972 --> 00:47:31,974
who the heck I am

1095
00:47:31,974 --> 00:47:33,934
and how I got to be that guy.

1096
00:47:33,934 --> 00:47:36,103
And it wasn't by following
somebody else's script.

1097
00:47:36,103 --> 00:47:39,022
It was by blazing my own path.

1098
00:47:39,022 --> 00:47:42,025
A path that leads
to the White House.

1099
00:47:45,070 --> 00:47:47,281
So, what I'm gonna do,

1100
00:47:47,281 --> 00:47:49,199
I'm gonna keep blazing it.

1101
00:47:52,077 --> 00:47:53,704
[Chuck]
You want to be free of this?

1102
00:47:57,249 --> 00:48:01,128
The kid in my cuffs
on American soil.

1103
00:48:01,128 --> 00:48:03,338
Or you'll be the one in 'em.

1104
00:48:19,897 --> 00:48:23,483
He wants the kid,
or me to quit my run.

1105
00:48:23,483 --> 00:48:24,651
Jesus.

1106
00:48:24,651 --> 00:48:26,904
Nothing else will satisfy him.

1107
00:48:26,904 --> 00:48:28,906
He's trying to induce you
to take an action.

1108
00:48:28,906 --> 00:48:30,032
Yes.

1109
00:48:30,032 --> 00:48:31,533
So, it's your moral fucking duty

1110
00:48:31,533 --> 00:48:32,910
to take a different one.

1111
00:48:32,910 --> 00:48:35,162
Yes.

1112
00:48:35,162 --> 00:48:37,664
Unless that's what
he's actually looking for.

1113
00:48:37,664 --> 00:48:39,124
Yes.

1114
00:48:41,043 --> 00:48:42,586
What're you going to do?

1115
00:48:44,212 --> 00:48:46,757
Take the desired action
with a different result.

1116
00:48:51,595 --> 00:48:53,722
<i>Lí-hó.</i>

1117
00:48:53,722 --> 00:48:56,433
Sorry, I'm gonna
need your son.

1118
00:48:56,433 --> 00:48:58,602
No, I'm doing it.

1119
00:48:58,602 --> 00:49:00,854
But so you feel better about it,

1120
00:49:00,854 --> 00:49:02,898
when I'm in office,
in two years' time,

1121
00:49:02,898 --> 00:49:05,108
I can ensure the closest
commercial relationship

1122
00:49:05,108 --> 00:49:07,277
Taipei has ever had with D.C.

1123
00:49:07,277 --> 00:49:09,738
Specifically,
trade route protections

1124
00:49:09,738 --> 00:49:13,325
worth billions to you,
within my first 100 days.

1125
00:49:13,325 --> 00:49:14,910
And your son will be out
long before that,

1126
00:49:14,910 --> 00:49:16,244
if he's ever in jail at all.

1127
00:49:16,244 --> 00:49:18,121
If not, a pardon is certain.

1128
00:49:19,873 --> 00:49:22,709
It's not just how
it has to be, friend,

1129
00:49:22,709 --> 00:49:24,586
it's the only way it can be.

1130
00:49:29,132 --> 00:49:30,801
West Side Highway,
going south...

1131
00:49:58,870 --> 00:50:00,956
I feel like I've seen
this movie before.

1132
00:50:00,956 --> 00:50:02,666
No, the only way
that plane is empty

1133
00:50:02,666 --> 00:50:04,668
is if there was
a parachute on board.

1134
00:50:04,668 --> 00:50:08,046
Get Liu off that plane
as peacefully as possible

1135
00:50:08,046 --> 00:50:10,507
but be prepared
for a forced entry.

1136
00:50:10,507 --> 00:50:12,926
Detain the pilot if you have to.

1137
00:50:19,391 --> 00:50:20,851
Party crasher.

1138
00:50:20,851 --> 00:50:22,394
Hold!

1139
00:50:33,572 --> 00:50:37,743
Prince. Thought his text
said you could have him.

1140
00:50:37,743 --> 00:50:39,119
Let's see where this goes.

1141
00:50:48,587 --> 00:50:51,840
If that plane starts to taxi,
take out the tires.

1142
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:03,226
Kid gave himself up.

1143
00:51:03,226 --> 00:51:05,729
It wasn't his idea.

1144
00:51:15,947 --> 00:51:18,950
This man was a fugitive from
justice, attempting to flee.

1145
00:51:18,950 --> 00:51:20,869
Which is why
I ordered my plane to land.

1146
00:51:20,869 --> 00:51:22,454
As a U.S. citizen,

1147
00:51:22,454 --> 00:51:25,582
nothing is more important
than obeying the law.

1148
00:51:25,582 --> 00:51:27,417
And as a sworn upholder
of those laws,

1149
00:51:27,417 --> 00:51:29,336
I'll take it from here.

1150
00:51:40,514 --> 00:51:42,099
You'll all report this properly.

1151
00:51:42,099 --> 00:51:44,101
You'll all come to learn
my plane was taken

1152
00:51:44,101 --> 00:51:45,310
under false pretenses.

1153
00:51:45,310 --> 00:51:47,187
Now I want to thank...

1154
00:51:47,187 --> 00:51:49,147
United States Attorney Rhoades

1155
00:51:49,147 --> 00:51:51,650
for calling this
to my attention.

1156
00:51:51,650 --> 00:51:53,276
I'm so grateful.

1157
00:51:55,153 --> 00:51:57,155
[reporters clamoring]

1158
00:51:58,573 --> 00:51:59,783
[reporter]
Mr. Prince, is there any way

1159
00:51:59,783 --> 00:52:01,201
you can make a comment, sir?

1160
00:52:05,914 --> 00:52:08,416
[Ira] Attorney's available
for photos, no questions.

1161
00:52:08,416 --> 00:52:09,709
[Chuck]
Fine, take some photos.

1162
00:52:25,809 --> 00:52:29,312
[both sigh]

1163
00:52:29,312 --> 00:52:31,648
Goddamned guy is going to get
a big hit off of this.

1164
00:52:31,648 --> 00:52:33,441
Mm-hmm. Maybe.

1165
00:52:33,441 --> 00:52:35,527
It wasn't a blowout,
but it'll go down as a win.

1166
00:52:35,527 --> 00:52:40,490
Now he knows his smallest
mistake will be raked over.

1167
00:52:40,490 --> 00:52:43,618
And everywhere he goes,
we are watching.

1168
00:52:45,162 --> 00:52:46,830
It's hard to march
toward the presidency

1169
00:52:46,830 --> 00:52:48,957
when you're always
looking over your shoulder.

1170
00:53:07,225 --> 00:53:08,602
I've just made arrangements

1171
00:53:08,602 --> 00:53:10,103
to send
the Indiana National Guard

1172
00:53:10,103 --> 00:53:12,355
to areas hit hardest
by the hurricane,

1173
00:53:12,355 --> 00:53:15,192
since units in the region
are underfunded.

1174
00:53:15,192 --> 00:53:17,027
This will get aid
to where it needs to be

1175
00:53:17,027 --> 00:53:19,321
before and until
the FEMA funds kick in.

1176
00:53:19,321 --> 00:53:21,364
All on Mike's dime.

1177
00:53:21,364 --> 00:53:23,783
Foreign affairs settled.
Domestic affairs are settled.

1178
00:53:23,783 --> 00:53:25,994
And we're going to help
a whole bunch of people.

1179
00:53:25,994 --> 00:53:27,495
Today was a good day.

1180
00:53:27,495 --> 00:53:29,372
I am so fucking happy
it worked out.

1181
00:53:29,372 --> 00:53:30,999
Now, no matter what happens,

1182
00:53:30,999 --> 00:53:32,417
you will be seen to
have done the right thing.

1183
00:53:32,417 --> 00:53:34,711
Not merely seen to be, Wags.
Doing it.

1184
00:53:34,711 --> 00:53:36,838
Even more reason
to smile about it.

1185
00:53:41,051 --> 00:53:42,636
[exhales]

1186
00:53:46,806 --> 00:53:48,433
Every single thing you do now

1187
00:53:48,433 --> 00:53:51,102
matters in a way
it didn't before.

1188
00:53:51,102 --> 00:53:52,854
There are no casual decisions.

1189
00:53:52,854 --> 00:53:55,565
And no one borrows your jet.

1190
00:53:55,565 --> 00:53:58,818
No one drops by your house for
dinner without prior approval.

1191
00:53:58,818 --> 00:54:01,571
No employee makes it look like
you're using a loophole

1192
00:54:01,571 --> 00:54:04,407
to avoid paying out
to the victims of a hurricane.

1193
00:54:04,407 --> 00:54:05,533
You need to be
the kind of person

1194
00:54:05,533 --> 00:54:06,701
who sees a hurricane coming--

1195
00:54:06,701 --> 00:54:08,912
Yeah. And runs toward it

1196
00:54:08,912 --> 00:54:10,413
with bailing buckets
and blankets

1197
00:54:10,413 --> 00:54:11,665
to wrap folks in.

1198
00:54:11,665 --> 00:54:12,791
Now you get it.

1199
00:54:14,376 --> 00:54:16,544
You need to assume
everything will come out

1200
00:54:16,544 --> 00:54:18,004
because it will.

1201
00:54:18,004 --> 00:54:19,714
So, take care to handle it
in advance

1202
00:54:19,714 --> 00:54:21,007
for the win.

1203
00:54:22,801 --> 00:54:25,095
It'll feel overwhelming,
but that's just what every hour

1204
00:54:25,095 --> 00:54:27,097
of every day
in the actual job will be.

1205
00:54:40,527 --> 00:54:41,778
[sighs]

1206
00:54:53,164 --> 00:54:54,291
I can't let you do it.

1207
00:54:54,291 --> 00:54:56,459
I know.

1208
00:54:56,459 --> 00:54:58,878
I want you to.
You need to know that.

1209
00:55:00,714 --> 00:55:02,799
You can keep the baton.
You should.

1210
00:55:04,759 --> 00:55:08,555
And, I promise,
after the inauguration,

1211
00:55:08,555 --> 00:55:10,765
you'll conduct
the National Orchestra.

1212
00:55:10,765 --> 00:55:12,976
Maybe do a full run
up the Eastern Seaboard.

1213
00:55:12,976 --> 00:55:14,769
That would be wonderful.

1214
00:55:14,769 --> 00:55:17,314
[chuckles] You don't have
to take this so gracefully,

1215
00:55:17,314 --> 00:55:19,149
me depriving you
of this dream right now.

1216
00:55:19,149 --> 00:55:20,483
You gave it to me.

1217
00:55:20,483 --> 00:55:22,485
I really wanted to.

1218
00:55:22,485 --> 00:55:23,820
I believe you.

1219
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:27,073
I'm sorry.

1220
00:55:27,073 --> 00:55:28,742
This is what
I signed on for.

1221
00:55:28,742 --> 00:55:30,327
To make your life easier

1222
00:55:30,327 --> 00:55:32,120
so your journey became longer.

1223
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:33,913
Richer. More fulfilling.

1224
00:55:33,913 --> 00:55:36,833
And I've always been
rewarded for so doing.

1225
00:55:36,833 --> 00:55:40,378
It doesn't change just because
it's in a different arena.

1226
00:55:40,378 --> 00:55:41,880
What about your life?

1227
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:44,674
Well, you said you
had a good day today.

1228
00:55:44,674 --> 00:55:47,052
- I did.
- Then so did I.

1229
00:55:53,558 --> 00:55:55,268
Hold this for me.

1230
00:55:57,437 --> 00:55:58,646
Until.

1231
00:56:14,204 --> 00:56:16,664
<i>Hand on the Bible lies</i>

1232
00:56:16,664 --> 00:56:19,459
<i>Maggots turn to flies</i>

1233
00:56:19,459 --> 00:56:22,170
<i>Whole world's gone to hell</i>

1234
00:56:22,170 --> 00:56:25,548
<i>Momma's back in jail</i>

1235
00:56:25,548 --> 00:56:28,051
<i>Just can't get enough</i>

1236
00:56:28,051 --> 00:56:31,054
<i>Think we've had too much</i>

1237
00:56:44,734 --> 00:56:46,528
You told Prince
you were happy it worked out.

1238
00:56:46,528 --> 00:56:48,071
Seemed the only thing to say.

1239
00:56:48,071 --> 00:56:50,031
Especially after
I screwed up that bad.

1240
00:56:50,031 --> 00:56:52,242
You didn't screw up.
You tried to take him out

1241
00:56:52,242 --> 00:56:55,912
by making him look
like an insurance scammer.

1242
00:56:55,912 --> 00:56:57,539
Almost succeeded.

1243
00:56:59,249 --> 00:57:00,750
Lone gunman-style.

1244
00:57:00,750 --> 00:57:02,752
But I guess... fuck.

1245
00:57:02,752 --> 00:57:04,421
Guess I'm no assassin.

1246
00:57:04,421 --> 00:57:07,424
A clean kill
can turn very messy.

1247
00:57:09,217 --> 00:57:11,594
Today will only make him
more careful and cautious

1248
00:57:11,594 --> 00:57:14,722
about what he does
and how he appears.

1249
00:57:14,722 --> 00:57:16,099
This is all going to be hard.

1250
00:57:18,143 --> 00:57:20,103
And messy.

1251
00:57:20,103 --> 00:57:21,855
Don't get yourself fired.

1252
00:57:21,855 --> 00:57:23,857
We can't-- none of us--
can do this alone.

1253
00:57:23,857 --> 00:57:25,942
Or on a one-off attempt.
It needs to be full-on

1254
00:57:25,942 --> 00:57:29,446
<i>Murder On The Orient Express</i>
or nothing.

1255
00:57:29,446 --> 00:57:31,239
But are you really
prepared to go that far?

1256
00:57:31,239 --> 00:57:34,200
I am now. Are you?

1257
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:36,911
Because Prince was right
about your impulsivity.

1258
00:57:36,911 --> 00:57:40,457
That shit can't get it
done at these stakes, so...

1259
00:57:40,457 --> 00:57:42,625
will you exercise
the discipline required

1260
00:57:42,625 --> 00:57:44,794
to really do it right?

1261
00:57:44,794 --> 00:57:46,796
I need to know.

1262
00:57:46,796 --> 00:57:49,966
I will. And we will.

1263
00:57:51,509 --> 00:57:52,844
Together.

1264
00:57:55,972 --> 00:57:57,265
Damn right.

1265
00:57:58,850 --> 00:58:00,602
<i>A snake will crawl
On the earth</i>

1266
00:58:00,602 --> 00:58:02,312
<i>To shed its skin</i>

1267
00:58:02,312 --> 00:58:05,315
<i>To make more
Room for the poison</i>

1268
00:58:05,315 --> 00:58:08,526
<i>And the filthy rich
Will all be clean</i>

1269
00:58:08,526 --> 00:58:10,820
<i>Until you raise your voices</i>

1270
00:58:10,820 --> 00:58:13,907
<i>And a louder one
Above the rest</i>

1271
00:58:13,907 --> 00:58:16,493
<i>Will call himself a rebel</i>

1272
00:58:16,493 --> 00:58:18,328
<i>There's the one
You know</i>

1273
00:58:18,328 --> 00:58:19,996
<i>And there's
The one you don't</i>

1274
00:58:22,373 --> 00:58:25,335
<i>But they're still both
The devil</i>

1275
00:58:29,297 --> 00:58:34,260
<i>As I lay me down</i>

1276
00:58:34,260 --> 00:58:40,266
<i>Go on
Get behind me</i>

1277
00:58:40,266 --> 00:58:41,559
<i>Now</i>
