00:00:04,845 --> 00:00:06,887
[Philip]
Previously on Billions.
2
00:00:07,888 --> 00:00:09,287
I buy a half hour
3
00:00:09,329 --> 00:00:11,850
on every major network,
live speech.
4
00:00:11,892 --> 00:00:14,292
Solicit honest feedback
from your employees.
5
00:00:14,334 --> 00:00:17,015
Use it as fuel for the speech.
6
00:00:17,057 --> 00:00:19,537
He goes into the speech
confident, he comes out sailing.
7
00:00:19,579 --> 00:00:21,219
I've been told
I needed to see you.
8
00:00:21,261 --> 00:00:23,741
When Wendy wants something,
she's very persuasive.
9
00:00:23,783 --> 00:00:25,583
And that's why I called her.
10
00:00:25,625 --> 00:00:26,945
With Bradford running point,
11
00:00:26,987 --> 00:00:28,306
the feedback's
gonna be jet fuel.
12
00:00:28,348 --> 00:00:29,908
So you want us to go back around
13
00:00:29,950 --> 00:00:31,549
and troll for negative feedback?
14
00:00:31,591 --> 00:00:33,431
This could implode MPC,
15
00:00:33,473 --> 00:00:36,114
as well as the campaign
and all of our places in it.
16
00:00:36,156 --> 00:00:38,198
I would consider it
a personal favour.
17
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,239
[Chuck]
We are gonna do something
18
00:00:41,281 --> 00:00:43,481
extremely hard.
19
00:00:43,523 --> 00:00:45,483
When did I become
Lex Luthor?
20
00:00:45,525 --> 00:00:48,448
Someone's quitting
isn't capitulation.
21
00:00:49,529 --> 00:00:50,768
So I shouldn't worry about
22
00:00:50,810 --> 00:00:52,410
seeking real love.
23
00:00:52,452 --> 00:00:54,532
I'm saying the way to get it
is to be a winner.
24
00:00:54,574 --> 00:00:56,014
Thank you...
25
00:00:56,056 --> 00:00:57,856
for not keeping me safe.
26
00:00:57,898 --> 00:01:00,860
The destiny is in me.
27
00:01:02,262 --> 00:01:03,781
I put him back together
28
00:01:03,823 --> 00:01:06,584
after you kicked the pieces
across the floor.
29
00:01:06,626 --> 00:01:08,226
I'm Mike Prince.
30
00:01:08,268 --> 00:01:10,228
Mike is trending
on every platform.
31
00:01:10,270 --> 00:01:12,070
It's done.
32
00:01:12,112 --> 00:01:13,631
I saw.
33
00:01:13,673 --> 00:01:16,474
Someday, and that day
will definitely come,
34
00:01:16,516 --> 00:01:19,799
I will call upon you
to repay this debt.
35
00:01:50,470 --> 00:01:52,472
This is totally amazing.
36
00:01:53,233 --> 00:01:55,673
That's how I do. I aim to amaze.
37
00:01:55,715 --> 00:01:58,036
You've done it. I thought it was
only a theoretical model.
38
00:01:58,078 --> 00:02:00,518
It was, back when you were
a Stanford Cardinal.
39
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,160
It's viable now.
40
00:02:02,202 --> 00:02:04,122
What compressive strength
have you managed to achieve?
41
00:02:04,164 --> 00:02:07,885
As you know, the standard crap
ranges from 3,000 to 5,000 psi.
42
00:02:07,927 --> 00:02:09,607
My little baby
gets close to 6,000.
43
00:02:09,649 --> 00:02:11,689
-Damn.
-Plus, when the cracks form,
44
00:02:11,731 --> 00:02:13,771
the bacteria creates
a self-healing effect.
45
00:02:13,813 --> 00:02:16,374
It's an organic, high-tech mimic
of the lime clasts
46
00:02:16,416 --> 00:02:19,177
and volcanic ash
from Ancient Roman concrete
47
00:02:19,219 --> 00:02:21,419
that's had those buildings
standing for thousands of years.
48
00:02:21,461 --> 00:02:22,780
-Beautiful.
-Yeah.
49
00:02:22,822 --> 00:02:24,382
It's almost ready
to go to market
50
00:02:24,424 --> 00:02:26,264
and present
to the Cement Masons unions.
51
00:02:26,306 --> 00:02:28,466
That's why I moved the lab
here a little while back.
52
00:02:28,508 --> 00:02:30,228
Before you do,
53
00:02:30,270 --> 00:02:32,272
you gotta let me walk you
in to my guy.
54
00:02:39,879 --> 00:02:41,881
[thud]
55
00:02:44,444 --> 00:02:46,446
[engine turns off]
56
00:02:59,419 --> 00:03:02,100
[Quinn]
Okay, so you are gonna want
57
00:03:02,142 --> 00:03:05,063
to practice your starts,
your stops, your signals,
58
00:03:05,105 --> 00:03:07,825
and your merges
before your next road test
59
00:03:07,867 --> 00:03:09,747
so you don't have to do
this whole Phi Slama Jama
60
00:03:09,789 --> 00:03:11,109
a third time.
61
00:03:11,151 --> 00:03:13,631
So I definitely failed?
62
00:03:13,673 --> 00:03:15,675
Flatter than a pancake.
63
00:03:16,876 --> 00:03:18,556
And when you're ready
to give it another go,
64
00:03:18,598 --> 00:03:21,319
you just head to the website
and book another test.
65
00:03:21,361 --> 00:03:24,762
[Senior] Well, since-- since we
know he'll pass the next one,
66
00:03:24,804 --> 00:03:28,286
how's about we save everyone
the trouble.
67
00:03:28,328 --> 00:03:29,927
He was so close this time.
68
00:03:29,969 --> 00:03:33,971
There must be a way
to shave a point or add one?
69
00:03:34,013 --> 00:03:36,694
Close? No.
Not a word I'd use.
70
00:03:36,736 --> 00:03:38,456
The bus was close, though.
71
00:03:38,498 --> 00:03:40,178
Which bus?
72
00:03:40,220 --> 00:03:42,580
The bus that your young charge
almost sideswiped,
73
00:03:42,622 --> 00:03:45,305
like Rick Mahorn did Wilkins
that time.
74
00:03:46,506 --> 00:03:48,746
Phi Slama Jama.
Rick Mahorn.
75
00:03:48,788 --> 00:03:50,748
You're a sports fan.
76
00:03:50,790 --> 00:03:53,871
And unlike the boy, sir,
you are a quick study.
77
00:03:53,913 --> 00:03:56,274
[laughs] That I am.
78
00:03:56,316 --> 00:03:57,675
What's your name, sir?
79
00:03:57,717 --> 00:04:00,478
Quinn. Ern Quinn. Mr. Quinn.
80
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,880
Well, Ern,
I think the thing to do
81
00:04:02,922 --> 00:04:05,843
is for you to get some tickets
to see a game,
82
00:04:05,885 --> 00:04:07,365
which is expensive, I know.
83
00:04:07,407 --> 00:04:09,047
So, what I'm thinking is,
84
00:04:09,089 --> 00:04:11,091
we make that happen...
85
00:04:13,573 --> 00:04:16,536
and then you make
the driver's license happen.
86
00:04:21,301 --> 00:04:23,663
-[police siren blurts]
-This is ridiculous.
87
00:04:25,064 --> 00:04:27,066
I was social friends
with Robert Moses!
88
00:04:28,708 --> 00:04:31,109
Don't say your daddy's name.
89
00:04:31,151 --> 00:04:32,470
I'll tell them
to call Mom.
90
00:04:32,512 --> 00:04:34,512
No. She'll flay me.
91
00:04:34,554 --> 00:04:36,234
I should have made one of them
come with me.
92
00:04:36,276 --> 00:04:38,116
These DMVs--
93
00:04:38,158 --> 00:04:41,481
Stands for Dumb Motherfucking
Varmints, by the way!--
94
00:04:43,082 --> 00:04:45,405
just want to charge
a higher price.
95
00:04:48,128 --> 00:04:51,649
I got this.
96
00:04:51,691 --> 00:04:53,693
[exclaims]
97
00:04:57,377 --> 00:04:58,896
To build.
98
00:04:58,938 --> 00:05:00,938
That's man's impulse.
99
00:05:00,980 --> 00:05:02,860
Well, mine, anyway.
100
00:05:02,902 --> 00:05:06,063
But the best-made structures,
how long do they last?
101
00:05:06,105 --> 00:05:08,906
Not long enough that future
civilisations won't use
102
00:05:08,948 --> 00:05:11,389
the rubble of ours
as a mere foundation.
103
00:05:11,431 --> 00:05:12,750
Until now.
104
00:05:12,792 --> 00:05:15,713
Bio-inspired
vascular concrete.
105
00:05:15,755 --> 00:05:18,636
It recognises the weaknesses
within the concrete system
106
00:05:18,678 --> 00:05:22,320
and is able to enzymatically
repair itself.
107
00:05:22,362 --> 00:05:23,881
This will revolutionise
108
00:05:23,923 --> 00:05:25,403
the country's crumbling
infrastructure.
109
00:05:25,445 --> 00:05:27,165
This material
rebuilds the past,
110
00:05:27,207 --> 00:05:29,887
fortifies the present,
secures the future.
111
00:05:29,929 --> 00:05:31,449
This is magnificent.
112
00:05:31,491 --> 00:05:33,050
It really is.
113
00:05:33,092 --> 00:05:35,335
This is a game changer.
114
00:05:36,856 --> 00:05:38,576
But the path
from innovation to market
115
00:05:38,618 --> 00:05:40,178
is fraught with danger.
116
00:05:40,220 --> 00:05:41,899
It's Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots
out there.
117
00:05:41,941 --> 00:05:44,302
This can't be one of those
that doesn't make it.
118
00:05:44,344 --> 00:05:45,823
[laughs] Uh...
119
00:05:45,865 --> 00:05:48,786
What danger, exactly?
120
00:05:48,828 --> 00:05:52,830
Deep-pocketed competitors,
copycats,
121
00:05:52,872 --> 00:05:54,552
foreign governments
willing to steal it.
122
00:05:54,594 --> 00:05:56,154
As you know,
all those things and more
123
00:05:56,196 --> 00:05:58,396
can destroy
a young company.
124
00:05:58,438 --> 00:06:01,401
But I can protect it.
And you.
125
00:06:02,802 --> 00:06:04,884
[typing]
126
00:06:11,731 --> 00:06:13,090
[sighs]
127
00:06:13,132 --> 00:06:16,614
You see, man's impulse
is also to buy.
128
00:06:16,656 --> 00:06:19,657
I want to get behind this
in a big way.
129
00:06:19,699 --> 00:06:21,899
I can take care of knocking out
the competitors,
130
00:06:21,941 --> 00:06:24,782
as well as all
the execution stuff,
131
00:06:24,824 --> 00:06:26,143
the blocking and tackling
132
00:06:26,185 --> 00:06:27,665
you don't need
to get bogged down with.
133
00:06:27,707 --> 00:06:30,308
This is something
that will help the world,
134
00:06:30,350 --> 00:06:32,069
and we'll all get rich doing it.
135
00:06:32,111 --> 00:06:35,713
I'm having in-house counsel join
136
00:06:35,755 --> 00:06:38,516
so we can move quickly
and aggressively.
137
00:06:38,558 --> 00:06:41,959
I'm prepared to purchase
your entire company
138
00:06:42,001 --> 00:06:43,481
and back a more robust
timetable,
139
00:06:43,523 --> 00:06:45,723
rolling this out
in the next 14 months.
140
00:06:45,765 --> 00:06:48,928
No, no, I'm not
handing you the reins.
141
00:06:51,050 --> 00:06:53,571
This is my life's work.
142
00:06:53,613 --> 00:06:55,533
Which you'll lose no matter what
143
00:06:55,575 --> 00:06:57,577
now that you've stuck
your head out.
144
00:06:58,618 --> 00:07:00,418
But we can prevent that.
145
00:07:00,460 --> 00:07:01,779
We will prevent it.
146
00:07:01,821 --> 00:07:03,100
This way, your vision
is protected
147
00:07:03,142 --> 00:07:04,622
and you get paid fairly.
148
00:07:04,664 --> 00:07:06,464
You don't buy me out.
149
00:07:06,506 --> 00:07:09,066
I made my bones when you were
going out with cheerleaders.
150
00:07:09,108 --> 00:07:11,551
So, a Moe Greene no.
151
00:07:13,072 --> 00:07:15,475
What ended up happening
to old Moe after that?
152
00:07:22,762 --> 00:07:24,482
Thank you all
for your time.
153
00:07:24,524 --> 00:07:26,526
And the fucking scones.
154
00:07:29,088 --> 00:07:31,090
I'm not selling.
155
00:07:35,375 --> 00:07:37,377
[door opens]
156
00:07:40,540 --> 00:07:41,779
[door closes]
157
00:07:41,821 --> 00:07:43,823
[clears throat]
158
00:07:44,424 --> 00:07:46,063
[sighs]
159
00:07:46,105 --> 00:07:49,226
Look, he put his whole
professional life into this.
160
00:07:49,268 --> 00:07:51,749
I just think he didn't see
the blitzkrieg coming.
161
00:07:51,791 --> 00:07:53,471
I didn't either.
162
00:07:53,513 --> 00:07:56,113
Maybe you can go
and talk to him.
163
00:07:56,155 --> 00:07:58,115
I can. I'll try.
164
00:07:58,157 --> 00:08:00,077
But he is stubborn.
165
00:08:00,119 --> 00:08:01,799
I mean, real stubborn.
166
00:08:01,841 --> 00:08:03,561
Yeah, okay, you do that.
167
00:08:03,603 --> 00:08:06,163
Talk some reason into him.
This is the way he wins.
168
00:08:06,205 --> 00:08:07,925
Because if I can't have
his company this way,
169
00:08:07,967 --> 00:08:09,166
I want his tech.
170
00:08:09,208 --> 00:08:11,210
And I'll get it.
171
00:08:11,851 --> 00:08:14,051
Legally. Aboveboard.
172
00:08:14,093 --> 00:08:16,656
Fins up, you know
what I'm saying, Kate?
173
00:08:21,220 --> 00:08:23,301
We'll make a dang fortune,
and this is the kind of idea
174
00:08:23,343 --> 00:08:26,103
custom-made to campaign on.
175
00:08:26,145 --> 00:08:29,667
A new foundation
for America.
176
00:08:29,709 --> 00:08:31,711
I'm on it.
177
00:08:34,354 --> 00:08:36,356
[door opens]
178

00:08:42,241 --> 00:08:43,481
[sighs]
180
00:08:43,523 --> 00:08:45,525
[cell phone vibrates]
181
00:08:48,287 --> 00:08:49,927
Hello, son.
182
00:08:49,969 --> 00:08:52,730
Dad, I'm fine.
183
00:08:52,772 --> 00:08:54,892
Kev, that's code
for "not fine."
184
00:08:54,934 --> 00:08:57,655
I fucked up
and said your name.
185
00:08:57,697 --> 00:08:59,377
[Chuck] To whom?
186
00:08:59,419 --> 00:09:02,620
I found the one sorry
son of a bitch at the DMV
187
00:09:02,662 --> 00:09:06,345
that doesn't know the difference
between a gratuity and a bribe.
188
00:09:07,346 --> 00:09:08,786
Don't say another word,
189
00:09:08,828 --> 00:09:10,830
either of you.
190
00:09:14,033 --> 00:09:15,513
I'm planning
on telling Mike
191
00:09:15,555 --> 00:09:16,954
he should punt
on the performance reviews.
192
00:09:16,996 --> 00:09:18,998
Oh, you're planning.
193
00:09:19,919 --> 00:09:21,559
Well, I mean,
if you want to,
194
00:09:21,601 --> 00:09:23,080
I'll of course
step back and--
195
00:09:23,122 --> 00:09:24,682
I thought that's why
you said it that way,
196
00:09:24,724 --> 00:09:25,923
so I would do it for you.
197
00:09:25,965 --> 00:09:27,525
For Mike. For the firm.
198
00:09:27,567 --> 00:09:30,287
It's not something
that can be punted.
199
00:09:30,329 --> 00:09:33,571
After those truth-telling
sessions, folks are queasy.
200
00:09:33,613 --> 00:09:35,453
I think the staff knows
that Mike would never use
201
00:09:35,495 --> 00:09:38,135
performance reviews
as a way to exact vengeance
202
00:09:38,177 --> 00:09:40,578
on people who merely spoke
the truth about what they felt.
203
00:09:40,620 --> 00:09:42,460
Yeah, well, the mere fact
204
00:09:42,502 --> 00:09:44,822
that you just referred
to them as "staff"
205
00:09:44,864 --> 00:09:46,904
says a lot about how
they'll feel being judged.
206
00:09:46,946 --> 00:09:48,466
Well, I guess your finger
is just lodged
207
00:09:48,508 --> 00:09:49,707
right on the carotid of--
208
00:09:49,749 --> 00:09:51,308
[Wags] No guesswork.
209
00:09:51,350 --> 00:09:53,310
That's all anybody talked
about at movie night.
210
00:09:53,352 --> 00:09:55,593
Movie night? Is that
a colloquialism for something?
211
00:09:55,635 --> 00:09:57,114
Popcorn. Big screen.
212
00:09:57,156 --> 00:09:59,158
I'm surprised
you decided to skip.
213
00:09:59,919 --> 00:10:01,439
Oh, shit.
214
00:10:01,481 --> 00:10:03,320
Didn't know
this was a thing.
215
00:10:03,362 --> 00:10:05,042
Wasn't invited.
216
00:10:05,084 --> 00:10:06,764
I should have
double-checked their list.
217
00:10:06,806 --> 00:10:08,726
-I just assumed they'd--
-What'd you watch?
218
00:10:08,768 --> 00:10:10,247
Double feature.
219
00:10:10,289 --> 00:10:11,649
Glengarryand Wolf of Wall Street.
220
00:10:11,691 --> 00:10:13,170
[chuckles] Of course.
221
00:10:13,212 --> 00:10:15,092
Do they even know what Wolf
is really saying?
222
00:10:15,134 --> 00:10:16,333
Victor does.
223
00:10:16,375 --> 00:10:19,176
Sacker, obv. Rian.
224
00:10:19,218 --> 00:10:21,098
The rest,
they think they should know
225
00:10:21,140 --> 00:10:23,020
how to sell a pen better.
226
00:10:23,062 --> 00:10:24,902
-You'll come next time.
-Oh, no.
227
00:10:24,944 --> 00:10:27,264
You're the man of the people.
I'll remain where I belong.
228
00:10:27,306 --> 00:10:29,386
Slightly above the staff.
229
00:10:29,428 --> 00:10:31,430
Your words, not mine.
230
00:10:36,395 --> 00:10:38,035
Scooter just texted me.
231
00:10:38,077 --> 00:10:39,797
I understand the concern
about the performance reviews.
232
00:10:39,839 --> 00:10:41,599
-When the fuck did you--?
-You don't get here
233
00:10:41,641 --> 00:10:43,240
without being able
to multitask.
234
00:10:43,282 --> 00:10:45,202
Like how you can do
a double shot of Michter's
235
00:10:45,244 --> 00:10:47,925
while re-enacting your favourite
Nikki Dial-Rocco Siffredi scene.
236
00:10:47,967 --> 00:10:49,487
Who are those people?
237
00:10:49,529 --> 00:10:50,808
[both]
Better you don't know.
238
00:10:50,850 --> 00:10:52,329
Okay.
239
00:10:52,371 --> 00:10:54,692
I'll recuse myself
from the review process.
240
00:10:54,734 --> 00:10:56,654
I was planning
on doing it anyway.
241
00:10:56,696 --> 00:10:59,376
I can't be seen as rewarding or
punishing anyone on the team...
242
00:10:59,418 --> 00:11:01,258
Team. Not staff.
There you go.
243
00:11:01,300 --> 00:11:03,380
...just because they said
bad or good things about me.
244
00:11:03,422 --> 00:11:04,942
Still, we have to do it.
245
00:11:04,984 --> 00:11:06,944
Can't go forward
without a thorough look back
246
00:11:06,986 --> 00:11:11,028
and a real evaluation of trading
tendencies, habits, all of it.
247
00:11:11,070 --> 00:11:13,030
How does that work
without you in the middle of it?
248
00:11:13,072 --> 00:11:14,672
You two will run the thing.
249
00:11:14,714 --> 00:11:16,716
I'm glad to leave it
in your able hands.
250
00:11:25,444 --> 00:11:27,446
I need in there. Thank you.
251
00:11:30,209 --> 00:11:32,129
Dad. Kevin. What?
252
00:11:32,171 --> 00:11:34,892
It's just
a bureaucratic squabble.
253
00:11:34,934 --> 00:11:37,535
This aged man's attempt
at bribing me
254
00:11:37,577 --> 00:11:41,579
failed as badly as this young
man failed his driving test.
255
00:11:41,621 --> 00:11:43,781
-He called the cops.
-You called the cops?
256
00:11:43,823 --> 00:11:45,182
I called the cops.
257
00:11:45,224 --> 00:11:47,505
[officer]
If money changed hands,
258
00:11:47,547 --> 00:11:49,667
we're going to have
to arrest and charge.
259
00:11:49,709 --> 00:11:51,148
[sighs]
260
00:11:51,190 --> 00:11:53,192
Don't make me
ask the question.
261
00:11:54,754 --> 00:11:56,033
What question is that?
262
00:11:56,075 --> 00:11:58,077
Please.
263
00:11:58,958 --> 00:12:00,998
Yes, I know who you are.
264
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:02,600
But it's a tight spot here.
265
00:12:02,642 --> 00:12:05,244
Can we have a moment
with my father?
266
00:12:11,330 --> 00:12:13,332
[sighs]
267
00:12:14,093 --> 00:12:16,293
Charles, why are you
even here,
268
00:12:16,335 --> 00:12:18,135
and what did you think
you were doing?
269
00:12:18,177 --> 00:12:19,617
Making sure it went well.
270
00:12:19,659 --> 00:12:22,459
-[scoffs]
-That peon had it in for Kevin
271
00:12:22,501 --> 00:12:23,701
the moment he saw the Jag.
272
00:12:23,743 --> 00:12:25,745
It intimidated him.
273
00:12:27,106 --> 00:12:29,426
And like I said,
he didn't know the difference
274
00:12:29,468 --> 00:12:30,988
between a bribe and a tip.
275
00:12:31,030 --> 00:12:33,032
[Quinn] I heard that.
276
00:12:33,512 --> 00:12:35,232
You're going to jail.
277
00:12:35,274 --> 00:12:37,394
And Rhoades, Kevin,
will be prohibited
278
00:12:37,436 --> 00:12:40,117
from holding a license to drive
in New York state.
279
00:12:40,159 --> 00:12:42,161
Jesus!
280
00:12:45,645 --> 00:12:47,925
[Chuck] I am aware
that attempted bribery--
281
00:12:47,967 --> 00:12:50,527
if that is in fact what can be
proved to have happened here
282
00:12:50,569 --> 00:12:52,249
--is a serious offence.
283
00:12:52,291 --> 00:12:54,531
I can guarantee his appearance
at arraignment,
284
00:12:54,573 --> 00:12:56,293
but if you will do me
the courtesy
285
00:12:56,335 --> 00:12:58,255
of releasing him
and referring this
286
00:12:58,297 --> 00:13:00,097
to the DA's office
for investigation,
287
00:13:00,139 --> 00:13:01,739
it would be appreciated.
288
00:13:01,781 --> 00:13:05,104
I'd have to check
with my superiors.
289
00:13:06,786 --> 00:13:08,946
Well, check with the commish.
290
00:13:08,988 --> 00:13:12,309
I have Raul Gomez
in my favourites.
291
00:13:12,351 --> 00:13:13,711
Thank you.
292
00:13:13,753 --> 00:13:15,392
[scoffs]
293
00:13:15,434 --> 00:13:18,195
The Department of Motor Vehicles
is not a playground
294
00:13:18,237 --> 00:13:19,877
for the well-connected
to do as they will.
295
00:13:19,919 --> 00:13:21,158
Ha!
296
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,923
That is a clerk's mentality...
297
00:13:26,365 --> 00:13:30,327
and a clerk you will always
fucking be.
298
00:13:30,369 --> 00:13:32,249
Dad! Not helping.
299
00:13:32,291 --> 00:13:33,811
Uh...
300
00:13:33,853 --> 00:13:35,292
You know,
the sad fact is
301
00:13:35,334 --> 00:13:37,735
that some senility
awaits us all
302
00:13:37,777 --> 00:13:39,697
in the golden years.
303
00:13:39,739 --> 00:13:41,538
Oh, bullshit.
304
00:13:41,580 --> 00:13:43,903
Oh, are you saying he's...?
305
00:13:45,745 --> 00:13:48,387
There are over
100 types of dementia.
306
00:13:51,951 --> 00:13:55,913
So, it can be tough to pinpoint
which we're talking about,
307
00:13:55,955 --> 00:13:57,755
but I think it's clear
that something...
308
00:13:57,797 --> 00:13:59,757
My last med workup
says I'm sharp
309
00:13:59,799 --> 00:14:01,799
as a goddamn titanium tack.
310
00:14:01,841 --> 00:14:04,203
Can you say the same?
311
00:14:06,405 --> 00:14:08,125
The commissioner
is granting your request.
312
00:14:08,167 --> 00:14:09,366
You're free to go.
313
00:14:09,408 --> 00:14:10,648
But he is indeed
referring it
314
00:14:10,690 --> 00:14:11,889
to the DA's office.
315
00:14:11,931 --> 00:14:13,130
Great. Swell. Perfect.
316
00:14:13,172 --> 00:14:14,451
Wouldn't have it
any other way.
317
00:14:14,493 --> 00:14:15,693
Thank you, officer.
318
00:14:15,735 --> 00:14:17,254
And thank you, sir,
319
00:14:17,296 --> 00:14:19,977
for your fealty
to the auto safety corridor.
320
00:14:20,019 --> 00:14:23,340
I note the sarcasm,
for the record.
321
00:14:23,382 --> 00:14:25,384
[sighs]
322
00:14:27,426 --> 00:14:30,868
Bowing and scraping
like that?
323
00:14:30,910 --> 00:14:33,270
-[Chuck sighs]
-I thought you had juice!
324
00:14:33,312 --> 00:14:35,594
Can we just get out of here,
please?
325
00:14:41,921 --> 00:14:44,962
Well, this should be more fun
than movie night.
326
00:14:45,004 --> 00:14:46,684
No one thought
you would want to come.
327
00:14:46,726 --> 00:14:47,925
And right they were.
328
00:14:47,967 --> 00:14:49,406
[Philip]
Okay, on the screens
329
00:14:49,448 --> 00:14:50,928
in front of each of us
are dossiers
330
00:14:50,970 --> 00:14:52,609
covering the P&Ls, activities,
331
00:14:52,651 --> 00:14:55,813
results and tendencies
of each person who works at MPC.
332
00:14:55,855 --> 00:14:58,535
We will conduct interviews
and do the feedback sessions
333
00:14:58,577 --> 00:15:00,497
after we--
334
00:15:00,539 --> 00:15:02,139
We aren't at
the feedback stage yet.
335
00:15:02,181 --> 00:15:03,821
-You'll be called in.
-Yeah, no, we won't.
336
00:15:03,863 --> 00:15:07,224
My man speaketh the truth.
337
00:15:07,266 --> 00:15:09,827
I'm not sure why I just used
that biblical version of speak,
338
00:15:09,869 --> 00:15:11,548
but I did, so...
339
00:15:11,590 --> 00:15:14,511
Because what we are saying
is as monumental
340
00:15:14,553 --> 00:15:16,874
as that language implies.
341
00:15:16,916 --> 00:15:18,595
Yes. Yeah.
We were elected to tell you
342
00:15:18,637 --> 00:15:21,278
that we all reject
the framework of this panel
343
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:22,679
judging us and our work.
344
00:15:22,721 --> 00:15:24,722
The employees can't reject--
345
00:15:24,764 --> 00:15:26,083
-Team members.
-Absolutely.
346
00:15:26,125 --> 00:15:27,765
The team members
can't reject the idea
347
00:15:27,807 --> 00:15:29,286
that their performance
is being evaluated.
348
00:15:29,328 --> 00:15:31,528
Well, we are rejecting you,
all of you,
349
00:15:31,570 --> 00:15:33,130
as the ones evaluating.
350
00:15:33,172 --> 00:15:35,652
You don't get to pick
how management decides.
351
00:15:35,694 --> 00:15:39,056
Management does.
That's how business works.
352
00:15:39,098 --> 00:15:41,218
Upon a time it did.
Not now.
353
00:15:41,260 --> 00:15:42,459
It's true, Wags.
354
00:15:42,501 --> 00:15:44,503
We are in an un-brave new world.
355
00:15:47,226 --> 00:15:48,906
I mean, no offence,
Scooter,
356
00:15:48,948 --> 00:15:51,188
but you're not in touch
with the rank and file.
357
00:15:51,230 --> 00:15:52,790
You don't even come
to movie night.
358
00:15:52,832 --> 00:15:54,551
-I wasn't inv--
-'Cause we knew you wouldn't
359
00:15:54,593 --> 00:15:57,514
want to and didn't want
to put you in the position.
360
00:15:57,556 --> 00:16:00,878
As I said.
361
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,360
Look, the only one with
the right to decide our fate
362
00:16:03,402 --> 00:16:05,282
is the actual decider.
363
00:16:05,324 --> 00:16:07,925
But you all said that once you
gave your evaluation of Prince,
364
00:16:07,967 --> 00:16:10,928
you weren't comfortable
with him conducting this review.
365
00:16:10,970 --> 00:16:13,730
That is right and true.
366
00:16:13,772 --> 00:16:15,652
Yeah, well, he decided
to change everything,
367
00:16:15,694 --> 00:16:18,617
so we all reject
the whole of it.
368
00:16:20,419 --> 00:16:22,179
You roll it all
for a least a year.
369
00:16:22,221 --> 00:16:24,221
No performance reviews
until then.
370
00:16:24,263 --> 00:16:26,743
Or you can do it without
any performers to review.
371
00:16:26,785 --> 00:16:29,146
You do know that comp
is directly tied
372
00:16:29,188 --> 00:16:30,667
to performance review?
373
00:16:30,709 --> 00:16:32,711
Not this year,
it isn't.
374
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,322
Well, fuck.
375
00:16:43,963 --> 00:16:45,965
Indeed.
376
00:16:49,368 --> 00:16:52,209
Well, you really brought out
the all-star team
377
00:16:52,251 --> 00:16:56,255
for this vital matter of state
security involving my father.
378
00:16:58,497 --> 00:17:00,497
As have you, Chuck,
379
00:17:00,539 --> 00:17:05,584
with the great and powerful
Freddie Eisen in your corner.
380
00:17:06,906 --> 00:17:09,666
He always brings a gun
to a knife fight.
381
00:17:09,708 --> 00:17:12,189
Yeah, it's just like
the government to lard it on.
382
00:17:12,231 --> 00:17:14,711
You're always looking for
a chance to squander resources.
383
00:17:14,753 --> 00:17:16,153
[chuckles]
384
00:17:16,195 --> 00:17:18,075
Uh, no offence, Chuck.
385
00:17:18,117 --> 00:17:19,356
Yeah, sure, Eisen.
386
00:17:19,398 --> 00:17:21,718
Look, I think we all know
387
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,000
the bright light
of attention
388
00:17:23,042 --> 00:17:25,082
is on this matter
because of me.
389
00:17:25,124 --> 00:17:27,004
You're trying
to bleed me here.
390
00:17:27,046 --> 00:17:30,007
Bleed you? For what?
391
00:17:30,049 --> 00:17:32,609
A notch in your hatchet.
Uh, making a quota.
392
00:17:32,651 --> 00:17:35,252
Some time in the limelight.
Who knows?
393
00:17:35,294 --> 00:17:39,296
Rubbish. We have kept
the press out of it so far,
394
00:17:39,338 --> 00:17:41,058
and that's proof
that you're off base.
395
00:17:41,100 --> 00:17:43,460
But this is
a chargeable offense.
396
00:17:43,502 --> 00:17:45,022
Ah. This is where I come in.
397
00:17:45,064 --> 00:17:47,544
-Mm.
-Uh, rubbish.
398
00:17:47,586 --> 00:17:49,947
You're gonna have an impossible
time proving anything
399
00:17:49,989 --> 00:17:52,669
beyond giving
an unlawful gratuity,
400
00:17:52,711 --> 00:17:54,071
which is a class "A"
misdemeanour.
401
00:17:54,113 --> 00:17:56,914
So, no jail time,
402
00:17:56,956 --> 00:17:58,996
a fine,
403
00:17:59,038 --> 00:18:02,759
and a course... maybe.
404
00:18:02,801 --> 00:18:06,485
There is no driving course
on how not to be an asshole.
405
00:18:08,847 --> 00:18:12,251
But in this case,
maybe we invent one.
406
00:18:13,452 --> 00:18:15,252
[whispering inaudibly]
407
00:18:15,294 --> 00:18:16,653
Okay.
408
00:18:16,695 --> 00:18:18,896
But we expect
the maximum on the fine,
409
00:18:18,938 --> 00:18:23,022
and even that may not placate
the DMV folks.
410
00:18:24,663 --> 00:18:25,862
Agreed.
411
00:18:25,904 --> 00:18:27,905
You got a good deal here.
412
00:18:27,947 --> 00:18:29,949
A real sweetheart.
413
00:18:30,789 --> 00:18:31,989
[clicks tongue]
414
00:18:32,031 --> 00:18:34,033
Better than you deserve.
415
00:18:34,873 --> 00:18:36,875
If my client will take it.
416
00:18:37,957 --> 00:18:39,959
I'll let you know.
417
00:18:43,522 --> 00:18:46,003
[door opens]
418
00:18:46,045 --> 00:18:47,925
Well, if the bank
wants to call that loan,
419
00:18:47,967 --> 00:18:49,766
you tell them you'll move
the corpus of the trust
420
00:18:49,808 --> 00:18:51,528
to another institution.
421
00:18:51,570 --> 00:18:54,211
Dad, don't conduct your
so-called business from here.
422
00:18:54,253 --> 00:18:55,732
We have to resolve
this situation--
423
00:18:55,774 --> 00:18:57,294
Some birds are chirping
in the background.
424
00:18:57,336 --> 00:18:58,535
I can't hear a thing.
425
00:18:58,577 --> 00:19:00,819
Get back to me with good news.
426
00:19:03,822 --> 00:19:07,666
There is nothing to resolve with
the DMV as far as I'm concerned.
427
00:19:08,947 --> 00:19:11,068
Well, as counsel,
I have to disagree.
428
00:19:11,110 --> 00:19:13,870
At least present you
with the deal we were able to--
429
00:19:13,912 --> 00:19:16,593
Well, no matter how good a deal
you think you struck
430
00:19:16,635 --> 00:19:18,435
with your colleagues,
431
00:19:18,477 --> 00:19:20,479
I won't sign it.
432
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,200
They should apologise to me.
433
00:19:23,242 --> 00:19:25,402
And Kevin.
434
00:19:25,444 --> 00:19:27,646
Thank you for your efforts,
Freddie.
435
00:19:29,928 --> 00:19:32,089
[sighs]
436
00:19:32,131 --> 00:19:34,891
You picked the wrong guy
to try to charm, Pop.
437
00:19:34,933 --> 00:19:36,373
So now you have to--
438
00:19:36,415 --> 00:19:39,856
That examiner
was a power-mad little man
439
00:19:39,898 --> 00:19:42,381
who should have passed Kevin
on principle alone.
440
00:19:43,542 --> 00:19:45,342
[laughs]
441
00:19:45,384 --> 00:19:46,583
Uh...
442
00:19:46,625 --> 00:19:48,945
what principle is that?
443
00:19:48,987 --> 00:19:51,668
That the Rhoades family
has contributed more
444
00:19:51,710 --> 00:19:53,510
to this city and state than--
445
00:19:53,552 --> 00:19:55,712
Tell that to the bus driver.
446
00:19:55,754 --> 00:19:56,953
No, no.
447
00:19:56,995 --> 00:19:58,355
You see, close call or not,
448
00:19:58,397 --> 00:20:00,917
Kevin avoided that bus.
449
00:20:00,959 --> 00:20:02,479
-Ah.
-And that's all that matters.
450
00:20:02,521 --> 00:20:04,241
-That's real life.
-[laughs]
451
00:20:04,283 --> 00:20:06,763
Near collisions. Near disaster.
452
00:20:06,805 --> 00:20:08,445
That's when the mettle shows.
453
00:20:08,487 --> 00:20:10,487
Our boy has it.
454
00:20:10,529 --> 00:20:12,531
Shows he's got the skills.
455
00:20:13,852 --> 00:20:16,815
That still doesn't speak
to the attempted bribe.
456
00:20:17,896 --> 00:20:22,699
Boyo, if I take the fall
for unlawful gratuity,
457
00:20:22,741 --> 00:20:26,703
that DMV apparatchik
should go down for accepting it.
458
00:20:26,745 --> 00:20:28,345
[laughs]
459
00:20:28,387 --> 00:20:30,147
He didn't accept it.
460
00:20:30,189 --> 00:20:32,869
He allowed you to complete
the criminal act to bust you.
461
00:20:32,911 --> 00:20:34,671
Don't be such an asshole.
462
00:20:34,713 --> 00:20:37,114
Ah.
463
00:20:37,156 --> 00:20:38,675
If you saw the look
on Kevin's face
464
00:20:38,717 --> 00:20:40,879
when he heard
that he had failed...
465
00:20:43,001 --> 00:20:45,003
you'd have done the same.
466
00:20:45,804 --> 00:20:47,806
That's called love.
467
00:20:51,170 --> 00:20:53,172
Yeah, but I didn't see it...
468
00:20:55,494 --> 00:20:57,496
because I wasn't there.
469
00:21:00,179 --> 00:21:03,019
That is true.
470
00:21:03,061 --> 00:21:05,744
He asked you to take him.
471
00:21:06,825 --> 00:21:08,024
Not Wendy or me.
472
00:21:08,066 --> 00:21:10,068
[laughs]
473
00:21:11,270 --> 00:21:14,191
I had been so overtaken
with the idea
474
00:21:14,233 --> 00:21:16,273
that you insinuated yourself
475
00:21:16,315 --> 00:21:18,795
into the situation
with the examiner,
476
00:21:18,837 --> 00:21:20,197
I hadn't stopped to think--
477
00:21:20,239 --> 00:21:23,162
Well, it's high time you did.
478
00:21:24,803 --> 00:21:26,803
He reached out
to a paternal figure
479
00:21:26,845 --> 00:21:28,927
who was not, in fact...
480
00:21:30,929 --> 00:21:32,931
his father.
481
00:21:33,932 --> 00:21:36,815
Maybe he knew I'd risk
life and liberty on his behalf.
482
00:21:38,337 --> 00:21:40,777
Maybe he counted on that.
483
00:21:40,819 --> 00:21:45,344
Maybe he knew
I was the only one.
484
00:21:46,625 --> 00:21:48,627
[sighs]
485
00:21:51,109 --> 00:21:53,111
Who's the asshole now?
486
00:21:58,397 --> 00:22:02,239
Who's the asshole...
487
00:22:02,281 --> 00:22:04,283
now?
488
00:22:13,972 --> 00:22:15,974
[tapwater running]
489
00:22:25,143 --> 00:22:27,186
What the hell
did you do to me?
490
00:22:28,427 --> 00:22:29,786
To you, or for you?
491
00:22:29,828 --> 00:22:31,828
I went over his proposal,
and there's a ton
492
00:22:31,870 --> 00:22:33,630
of upside there.
And what he was saying
493
00:22:33,672 --> 00:22:35,312
about the pitfalls facing
a young company--
494
00:22:35,354 --> 00:22:37,674
You don't think I know
about the pitfalls?
495
00:22:37,716 --> 00:22:39,476
I told you and your
lab mates about them
496
00:22:39,518 --> 00:22:42,321
chapter and goddamn verse
back in the day, if you recall.
497
00:22:43,402 --> 00:22:45,562
This is different.
498
00:22:45,604 --> 00:22:49,045
This is a robber baron making
a move on a proprietary process.
499
00:22:49,087 --> 00:22:51,328
I'm telling you, Mike Prince
is one of the good guys.
500
00:22:51,370 --> 00:22:53,730
-[laughing] Oh, jeez!
-Does he have sharp elbows?
501
00:22:53,772 --> 00:22:55,212
Of course he does.
He has to.
502
00:22:55,254 --> 00:22:57,214
And you want him to.
It's what you need.
503
00:22:57,256 --> 00:23:01,498
But he's got the company's
best interests at heart.
504
00:23:01,540 --> 00:23:03,622
Is that why
he's started an attack?
505
00:23:05,103 --> 00:23:08,825
Your "good guy" Prince
506
00:23:08,867 --> 00:23:12,028
has begun buying up
rival patents.
507
00:23:12,070 --> 00:23:15,872
Even ones vaguely related
to what my process does.
508
00:23:15,914 --> 00:23:18,715
Which gives him standing
to sue me for infringement.
509
00:23:18,757 --> 00:23:20,837
Which will block my work
due to injunction,
510
00:23:20,879 --> 00:23:23,280
potentially for years.
511
00:23:23,322 --> 00:23:26,042
It's called patent sharking.
512
00:23:26,084 --> 00:23:29,207
And it's not
what good guys do.
513
00:23:32,611 --> 00:23:34,613
"Fins up." Fuck!
514
00:23:35,654 --> 00:23:37,534
Yeah-- Shit, look,
515
00:23:37,576 --> 00:23:41,458
it may not be exactly what you
wanted, but similar terms,
516
00:23:41,500 --> 00:23:43,702
some compromises
were always gonna be a reality.
517
00:23:44,983 --> 00:23:46,783
Selling to Prince
without a fight
518
00:23:46,825 --> 00:23:48,305
is the best move now.
519
00:23:48,347 --> 00:23:49,706
If you do,
Prince will relent
520
00:23:49,748 --> 00:23:51,388
and the company
will be spared all this.
521
00:23:51,430 --> 00:23:53,432
You hope.
522
00:23:54,553 --> 00:23:56,353
You will be credited
for creating
523
00:23:56,395 --> 00:23:58,315
this self-healing concrete.
524
00:23:58,357 --> 00:24:00,357
The Nobel Prize doesn't go
to the hedge fund dude
525
00:24:00,399 --> 00:24:02,599
who financed the thing.
526
00:24:02,641 --> 00:24:04,763
Let me lay out a look
at a slightly different future:
527
00:24:06,044 --> 00:24:08,046
yours.
528
00:24:09,928 --> 00:24:11,930
You, Philip...
529
00:24:13,652 --> 00:24:15,692
have been slowly,
or not so slowly,
530
00:24:15,734 --> 00:24:17,694
selling your soul.
531
00:24:17,736 --> 00:24:21,137
And soon,
there'll be none left.
532
00:24:21,179 --> 00:24:24,180
You'll never be happy
at Michael Prince Capital,
533
00:24:24,222 --> 00:24:25,982
because the longer you stay,
534
00:24:26,024 --> 00:24:28,066
the more you'll learn
about Michael Prince...
535
00:24:29,388 --> 00:24:31,390
and the more
you'll hate yourself.
536
00:24:36,995 --> 00:24:40,036
I've been
a scientist-businessman
537
00:24:40,078 --> 00:24:42,759
and a businessman-scientist.
538
00:24:42,801 --> 00:24:45,884
And when one serves
the other, it can work.
539
00:24:47,406 --> 00:24:51,127
The other way
is just a slow death
540
00:24:51,169 --> 00:24:53,129
of everything
you ever hoped to be.
541
00:24:53,171 --> 00:24:54,691
Marc, come on,
you still have a chance
542
00:24:54,733 --> 00:24:56,092
to win big on this
right now.
543
00:24:56,134 --> 00:24:58,737
You just got to show
some flexibility.
544
00:25:00,579 --> 00:25:04,062
It's a wonder I ever achieved
tenure without your counsel.
545
00:25:17,275 --> 00:25:19,277
[typing]
546
00:25:37,175 --> 00:25:39,255
In Will Guidara's book
Unreasonable Hospitality,
547
00:25:39,297 --> 00:25:40,937
he tells a story about how,
548
00:25:40,979 --> 00:25:43,580
when someone misses
a few meetings or is late,
549
00:25:43,622 --> 00:25:45,622
the instinct is
to get right in their face
550
00:25:45,664 --> 00:25:48,224
and give them
massive guff about it.
551
00:25:48,266 --> 00:25:50,146
Instead, Will says
the thing to do
552
00:25:50,188 --> 00:25:52,308
is check in
about their welfare first.
553
00:25:52,350 --> 00:25:54,230
I'm hunky-dory. Peachy keen.
554
00:25:54,272 --> 00:25:55,752
Look, I had stuff
to take care of.
555
00:25:55,794 --> 00:25:56,993
Business stuff, and--
556
00:25:57,035 --> 00:25:59,155
No. Or, yes, but...
557
00:25:59,197 --> 00:26:01,678
whatever's getting in your head,
distracting you from your work,
558
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:03,239
because you did miss
two meetings,
559
00:26:03,281 --> 00:26:05,081
in which I covered,
of course, but--
560
00:26:05,123 --> 00:26:07,243
No, really, it's a business
thing I was seeing to.
561
00:26:07,285 --> 00:26:09,287
The Ruloff thing.
562
00:26:10,288 --> 00:26:12,128
You need to talk to Wendy.
563
00:26:12,170 --> 00:26:14,571
Your breathing, your cadence,
the pitch of your voice
564
00:26:14,613 --> 00:26:15,932
tell me there's plenty
of emotion
565
00:26:15,974 --> 00:26:17,574
mixed in there
with the business.
566
00:26:17,616 --> 00:26:20,897
I've been there with
an innovator I cared about,
567
00:26:20,939 --> 00:26:23,059
thinking there was a balance
to be struck.
568
00:26:23,101 --> 00:26:24,501
And was there?
569
00:26:24,543 --> 00:26:26,062
No.
570
00:26:26,104 --> 00:26:27,824
I should have focused
only on the business.
571
00:26:27,866 --> 00:26:29,666
Because the corrosive,
controlling part
572
00:26:29,708 --> 00:26:32,829
was already in the inventor,
as it is with your Dr. Ruloff.
573
00:26:32,871 --> 00:26:34,951
That's why he doesn't want
to partner, he wants it all.
574
00:26:34,993 --> 00:26:36,913
I think you got him wrong.
575
00:26:36,955 --> 00:26:39,037
Wendy'll help you
figure that out.
576
00:26:47,245 --> 00:26:49,247
[knocks]
577
00:26:54,733 --> 00:26:56,052
[sighs]
578
00:26:56,094 --> 00:26:57,293
I fucked up.
579
00:26:57,335 --> 00:26:59,337
Huge mistake.
580
00:27:00,739 --> 00:27:03,139
How much is it gonna cost
Prince, the firm?
581
00:27:03,181 --> 00:27:04,501
No.
582
00:27:04,543 --> 00:27:06,262
The opposite, I think.
583
00:27:06,304 --> 00:27:10,066
But despite that,
if something isn't done,
584
00:27:10,108 --> 00:27:12,348
if I don't do something to
change what's about to happen,
585
00:27:12,390 --> 00:27:14,270
I don't know how the hell
I'm gonna be able
586
00:27:14,312 --> 00:27:16,314
to live with myself.
587
00:27:17,155 --> 00:27:19,556
Well, then
you'd better have a seat.
588
00:27:19,598 --> 00:27:21,600
Start at the beginning.
589
00:27:33,692 --> 00:27:36,693
I've likely extricated you
from legal trouble.
590
00:27:36,735 --> 00:27:39,375
Your friend down at the DMV's
gonna get promoted.
591
00:27:39,417 --> 00:27:42,018
And his boss has a kid
592
00:27:42,060 --> 00:27:43,900
who's gonna get
an internship at Justice.
593
00:27:43,942 --> 00:27:48,146
So they'll quietly accept
the misdemeanour.
594
00:27:49,347 --> 00:27:52,909
But what we have to discuss now
595
00:27:52,951 --> 00:27:56,993
is the line of succession
around here.
596
00:27:57,035 --> 00:28:00,356
I just want it to remain clear
that I am a viable alternative
597
00:28:00,398 --> 00:28:04,240
if the two of you are unable
to fulfil your parental duties.
598
00:28:04,282 --> 00:28:06,362
That's all very
well and good, Charles,
599
00:28:06,404 --> 00:28:07,764
but Kevin,
600
00:28:07,806 --> 00:28:09,165
you need to know--
601
00:28:09,207 --> 00:28:12,649
Your mother and I
are your first calls
602
00:28:12,691 --> 00:28:14,130
and your last.
603
00:28:14,172 --> 00:28:15,892
But I did.
604
00:28:15,934 --> 00:28:17,936
[sighs]
605
00:28:19,417 --> 00:28:21,898
"Mom, my driving test
is Monday morning.
606
00:28:21,940 --> 00:28:23,780
Can you take me?"
607
00:28:23,822 --> 00:28:27,385
"I have a meeting that morning.
Have you asked your father?"
608
00:28:29,507 --> 00:28:31,267
"Dad, Monday morning, DMV?"
609
00:28:31,309 --> 00:28:34,831
Uh-huh.
"Is it possible to reschedule?"
610
00:28:34,873 --> 00:28:36,875
It wasn't possible.
611
00:28:38,597 --> 00:28:41,518
Kev, if you'd answered "no,"
I'd have found the time.
612
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:42,879
As would I have,
if I'd known
613
00:28:42,921 --> 00:28:45,241
your father responded
he couldn't.
614
00:28:45,283 --> 00:28:48,004
This is about you communicating
your needs more directly.
615
00:28:48,046 --> 00:28:50,527
I did. I called Grandpa.
616
00:28:50,569 --> 00:28:53,970
And I stepped forward,
once more into the breech.
617
00:28:54,012 --> 00:28:57,493
I believe Kevin has
what the kids call receipts.
618
00:28:57,535 --> 00:28:59,537
[scoffs]
619
00:29:00,579 --> 00:29:03,061
None of us behaved
perfectly here.
620
00:29:04,062 --> 00:29:05,542
Ah, shit, Kev,
621
00:29:05,584 --> 00:29:07,944
the immediate answer
should have been yes.
622
00:29:07,986 --> 00:29:09,586
I know that.
623
00:29:09,628 --> 00:29:11,467
I get caught up.
624
00:29:11,509 --> 00:29:13,511
We both do.
625
00:29:14,192 --> 00:29:16,194
This is...
626
00:29:17,515 --> 00:29:18,955
I'm just glad
this is the extent
627
00:29:18,997 --> 00:29:20,236
of the price we're paying,
628
00:29:20,278 --> 00:29:21,638
and that it was your grandfather
629
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,082
and not you
with the bribery.
630
00:29:25,604 --> 00:29:30,488
I will go say good night
to my granddaughter.
631
00:29:32,010 --> 00:29:33,690
And for the record,
632
00:29:33,732 --> 00:29:37,173
Kevin drove the hell
out of that Jag under my watch.
633
00:29:37,215 --> 00:29:38,615
Hmm.
634
00:29:38,657 --> 00:29:43,339
My boy, there was a time
when a Benjamin Franklin
635
00:29:43,381 --> 00:29:45,421
was the key to the city.
636
00:29:45,463 --> 00:29:49,946
My mistake was not accounting
for inflation.
637
00:29:49,988 --> 00:29:52,150
[Chuck groans]
638
00:29:54,432 --> 00:29:56,392
[laughs] Oh, God.
639
00:29:56,434 --> 00:29:58,434
Just when I thought
maybe we weren't too bad
640
00:29:58,476 --> 00:29:59,876
at this parenting thing.
641
00:29:59,918 --> 00:30:04,040
Yeah. Evidence to the contrary.
642
00:30:04,082 --> 00:30:07,163
You and I need to communicate
every day about them.
643
00:30:07,205 --> 00:30:08,845
That's where we fucked up.
644
00:30:08,887 --> 00:30:10,727
Because if we'd been talking
directly, one of us...
645
00:30:10,769 --> 00:30:12,771
-No doubt. No doubt.
-...would have--
646
00:30:14,933 --> 00:30:16,935
As far as working together
better...
647
00:30:18,256 --> 00:30:20,258
I pledge to do my part.
648
00:30:21,339 --> 00:30:23,341
As do I.
649
00:30:24,142 --> 00:30:26,144
[Chuck sighs]
650
00:30:30,108 --> 00:30:32,430
I had a strange convo
at work today.
651
00:30:36,875 --> 00:30:39,916
I have to imagine
that's, uh, the norm there.
652
00:30:39,958 --> 00:30:41,758
Kind of your job.
653
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,802
Yeah, but this...
654
00:30:45,323 --> 00:30:47,563
I'll share,
since it wasn't a formal,
655
00:30:47,605 --> 00:30:49,205
privileged conversation.
656
00:30:49,247 --> 00:30:52,048
I sat him on the couch
instead of the chairs.
657
00:30:52,090 --> 00:30:54,092
Uh-huh.
658
00:30:55,213 --> 00:30:56,733
One of the heads of the firm.
659
00:30:56,775 --> 00:30:59,015
Young guy named Philip Charyn.
660
00:30:59,057 --> 00:31:02,258
There's a real
bare-knuckle business thing
661
00:31:02,300 --> 00:31:03,860
that an outside figure,
young Philip,
662
00:31:03,902 --> 00:31:06,064
finds himself
on the opposite side of Prince.
663
00:31:07,145 --> 00:31:08,624
Emotionally, though.
664
00:31:08,666 --> 00:31:10,266
That's not a position
he can take publicly
665
00:31:10,308 --> 00:31:12,310
within the firm.
666
00:31:13,712 --> 00:31:15,714
Sounds Byzantine.
667
00:31:17,515 --> 00:31:19,355
It seemed to me
that he was asking me
668
00:31:19,397 --> 00:31:22,358
to bring you in
on the situation,
669
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,400
to pursue the issue
on his behalf.
670
00:31:24,442 --> 00:31:26,162
Huh.
671
00:31:26,204 --> 00:31:29,245
And what did you indicate back?
672
00:31:29,287 --> 00:31:32,648
Oh, I talked to him
about the blood-brain barrier.
673
00:31:32,690 --> 00:31:36,052
How it keeps bacteria,
viruses, fungus,
674
00:31:36,094 --> 00:31:38,654
parasites in the bloodstream
out of the brain.
675
00:31:38,696 --> 00:31:41,778
Parallel health achieved
by no cross-contamination.
676
00:31:41,820 --> 00:31:44,460
Well, sounds about right.
677
00:31:44,502 --> 00:31:47,425
And, uh, we should
keep it that way.
678
00:31:49,307 --> 00:31:53,752
For the health of the family
and, uh, our individual sanity.
679
00:31:54,753 --> 00:31:57,035
That's exactly what I said.
680
00:31:58,596 --> 00:32:00,036
[laughs]
681
00:32:00,078 --> 00:32:02,198
Wow.
682
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:03,760
In this arena,
683
00:32:03,802 --> 00:32:06,482
communication has never
been an issue.
684
00:32:06,524 --> 00:32:09,045
We each know exactly
what the other means,
685
00:32:09,087 --> 00:32:11,089
no matter what the other says.
686
00:32:12,490 --> 00:32:14,612
It's somehow reassuring...
687
00:32:15,974 --> 00:32:17,934
and horrifying
at the same time.
688
00:32:17,976 --> 00:32:19,455
Quite so.
689
00:32:19,497 --> 00:32:21,499
[laughs]
690
00:32:30,829 --> 00:32:32,831
Do I need to call a lawyer?
691
00:32:33,151 --> 00:32:35,153
You sent for me.
692
00:32:35,874 --> 00:32:37,713
You didn't tape an X
to a telephone pole,
693
00:32:37,755 --> 00:32:39,878
but you asked for a meet
just the same.
694
00:32:40,879 --> 00:32:42,118
I don't want to talk to you.
695
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,402
Of course you don't.
696
00:32:47,645 --> 00:32:49,005
Your mouth is dry.
697
00:32:49,047 --> 00:32:50,606
You look like you put in
some hard miles.
698
00:32:50,648 --> 00:32:52,650
You need to hydrate.
699
00:32:57,055 --> 00:33:00,096
Marc Ruloff is a good man,
a great man.
700
00:33:00,138 --> 00:33:01,697
And I put him
in Mike Prince's crosshairs.
701
00:33:01,739 --> 00:33:03,419
That's on me.
702
00:33:03,461 --> 00:33:05,701
What if you could
unwind it?
703
00:33:05,743 --> 00:33:08,146
Find a way to save Ruloff's
company from Prince?
704
00:33:09,587 --> 00:33:11,868
Well, I can't. I've tried.
705
00:33:11,910 --> 00:33:13,912
Maybe I can.
706
00:33:16,314 --> 00:33:18,714
Can you give me
an illegality I can pursue?
707
00:33:18,756 --> 00:33:20,236
That's why we're here.
708
00:33:20,278 --> 00:33:23,001
There aren't any.
That's the problem.
709
00:33:28,206 --> 00:33:29,806
What about you?
710
00:33:29,848 --> 00:33:31,527
You're the guy that likes
a big idea,
711
00:33:31,569 --> 00:33:33,529
that likes the grand gesture,
right?
712
00:33:33,571 --> 00:33:35,491
Mm-hmm.
713
00:33:35,533 --> 00:33:37,693
So put a stop
to patent sharking.
714
00:33:37,735 --> 00:33:40,256
And these sharks
troll published patents
715
00:33:40,298 --> 00:33:41,978
and buy everything
that could credibly allege
716
00:33:42,020 --> 00:33:43,860
the invention
infringes on it.
717
00:33:43,902 --> 00:33:46,382
So they can sue.
718
00:33:46,424 --> 00:33:48,264
Did you know there is
a plasma substitute
719
00:33:48,306 --> 00:33:51,107
that could save soldiers' lives
wounded in theatre?
720
00:33:51,149 --> 00:33:52,388
But the inventor
can't roll it out
721
00:33:52,430 --> 00:33:54,432
because she's surrounded
by sharks.
722
00:33:56,354 --> 00:33:59,075
That is a great injustice,
723
00:33:59,117 --> 00:34:01,920
but I can't change it.
724
00:34:04,122 --> 00:34:07,403
Nor can I change the fundamental
nature of the enterprise
725
00:34:07,445 --> 00:34:09,365
that is Michael Prince.
726
00:34:09,407 --> 00:34:11,007
Because your Dr. Ruloff,
727
00:34:11,049 --> 00:34:13,169
great man that you say he is,
728
00:34:13,211 --> 00:34:17,175
is actually just a harbour seal.
729
00:34:20,258 --> 00:34:22,378
And sharks will shark.
730
00:34:22,420 --> 00:34:25,383
Harbor seals
will harbor seal.
731
00:34:27,505 --> 00:34:30,268
That is the way of the ocean.
732
00:34:34,232 --> 00:34:36,072
[metallic rattling]
733
00:34:36,114 --> 00:34:39,315
Gather around,
you malingerers.
734
00:34:39,357 --> 00:34:41,157
[Scooter]
First, we heard you.
735
00:34:41,199 --> 00:34:43,639
After this year,
with all the changes and drama,
736
00:34:43,681 --> 00:34:46,883
we will not proceed with
the planned performance review.
737
00:34:46,925 --> 00:34:49,725
It is more important that
instead of judging each other,
738
00:34:49,767 --> 00:34:51,567
we come together. So...
739
00:34:51,609 --> 00:34:53,489
we are going to have
the inaugural
740
00:34:53,531 --> 00:34:57,733
Michael Prince Capital
Casino Night at Gotham Hall.
741
00:34:57,775 --> 00:34:59,817
Everyone will be there.
742
00:35:02,540 --> 00:35:04,542
Because you have to be...
743
00:35:06,544 --> 00:35:08,464
and because
you fucking want to be.
744
00:35:08,506 --> 00:35:10,506
This group will
come together as a--
745
00:35:10,548 --> 00:35:12,028
[Rian]
Don't say "family."
746
00:35:12,070 --> 00:35:13,910
That whole
"work unit as family" thing
747
00:35:13,952 --> 00:35:15,952
really stamps you
as a Boomer.
748
00:35:15,994 --> 00:35:17,113
-Gen X.
-We're not Boomers.
749
00:35:17,155 --> 00:35:18,554
Not even close.
750
00:35:18,596 --> 00:35:19,875
We read Doug Coupland
in hardback.
751
00:35:19,917 --> 00:35:21,437
You did.
I'm much younger.
752
00:35:21,479 --> 00:35:24,080
The point is,
we will come together as a--
753
00:35:24,122 --> 00:35:26,722
Goddamned family,
or die trying.
754
00:35:26,764 --> 00:35:28,806
Wags, Scooter. Need you.
755
00:35:31,009 --> 00:35:33,011
[tokens rattle]
756
00:35:41,819 --> 00:35:43,779
Kate has an angle
on the Ruloff thing.
757
00:35:43,821 --> 00:35:45,101
I wanted you to hear it.
758
00:35:45,143 --> 00:35:46,502
We just set it in motion
an hour ago.
759
00:35:46,544 --> 00:35:48,304
Enzy-Novo, biotech firm.
760
00:35:48,346 --> 00:35:51,707
They create the bacterial enzyme
that Ruloff's process uses.
761
00:35:51,749 --> 00:35:54,670
And that, the enzyme,
it's proprietary, I imagine.
762
00:35:54,712 --> 00:35:57,315
As patented as Carla Fracci's
Giselle.
763
00:36:00,398 --> 00:36:02,959
As Jordan's turnaround fadeaway.
764
00:36:03,001 --> 00:36:04,360
-Ah.
-Yes, of course. Yeah.
765
00:36:04,402 --> 00:36:05,841
By buying
into this company
766
00:36:05,883 --> 00:36:07,523
and the underlying patent,
767
00:36:07,565 --> 00:36:09,365
Ruloff will be neutralised.
768
00:36:09,407 --> 00:36:12,208
Without Enzy-Novo, Ruloff is
just making everyday cement.
769
00:36:12,250 --> 00:36:14,930
It'll take him years to replace
or create his own bacteria.
770
00:36:14,972 --> 00:36:17,453
Mm, I'd love to see
Ruloff's face when he finds out
771
00:36:17,495 --> 00:36:19,895
he can't have the starter
for his concrete sourdough.
772
00:36:19,937 --> 00:36:21,657
So, that second,
when he's gut-punched,
773
00:36:21,699 --> 00:36:24,820
is when we go back to him
with our last and best offer?
774
00:36:24,862 --> 00:36:26,542
He'll sell whether
he wants to or not.
775
00:36:26,584 --> 00:36:28,384
He'll have to, because he'll
have no other choice.
776
00:36:28,426 --> 00:36:29,745
He'll end up grateful, Mike,
777
00:36:29,787 --> 00:36:31,227
when he sees what you do
with his idea.
778
00:36:31,269 --> 00:36:32,468
How you blow it out.
779
00:36:32,510 --> 00:36:33,829
And, knowing you,
780
00:36:33,871 --> 00:36:35,311
you'll be sure
to credit him, too.
781
00:36:35,353 --> 00:36:36,632
You know I will.
782
00:36:36,674 --> 00:36:37,953
But all those hugs
will have to wait
783
00:36:37,995 --> 00:36:39,155
for the other side
of the war.
784
00:36:39,197 --> 00:36:41,199
[typing]
785
00:36:44,722 --> 00:36:47,165
I have to sign off.
Who can become the host?
786
00:36:50,648 --> 00:36:52,368
[secretary]
Uh, he's in a meeting.
787
00:36:52,410 --> 00:36:54,530
[Ruloff] I'll tell you and your
lawyer at the same time.
788
00:36:54,572 --> 00:36:57,413
Your attempted purchase
of Enzy-Novo has hit a snag,
789
00:36:57,455 --> 00:37:00,416
and that snag is named
this guy right here.
790
00:37:00,458 --> 00:37:03,419
I wouldn't dignify this,
I were you, Mike.
791
00:37:03,461 --> 00:37:05,743
I didn't hear some rumour
needs confirming.
792
00:37:07,625 --> 00:37:10,386
I'm in an exclusive
negotiation period with them,
793
00:37:10,428 --> 00:37:12,628
so they had to tell me as soon
as your offer floated in.
794
00:37:12,670 --> 00:37:14,190
Well, when your period ends,
795
00:37:14,232 --> 00:37:16,112
I'll be there
with a wheelbarrow full of cash.
796
00:37:16,154 --> 00:37:18,354
You won't outbid me.
I need it more.
797
00:37:18,396 --> 00:37:19,675
That's not something you admit
to a guy
798
00:37:19,717 --> 00:37:21,317
with unlimited resources.
799
00:37:21,359 --> 00:37:23,359
That's why you should do
the magnifying glass/slide stuff
800
00:37:23,401 --> 00:37:25,761
and leave the transactions
and wire transfers to me.
801
00:37:25,803 --> 00:37:28,164
I'll focus on the science
of kicking your ass.
802
00:37:28,206 --> 00:37:30,086
[laughs] You want to get
into a buying war with me?
803
00:37:30,128 --> 00:37:31,967
You're firing a pea shooter
at a tank.
804
00:37:32,009 --> 00:37:34,490
Maybe I have
a tank of my own.
805
00:37:34,532 --> 00:37:38,054
You can go around
buying adjacent stuff.
806
00:37:38,096 --> 00:37:39,615
Meanwhile,
I'll publish my work.
807
00:37:39,657 --> 00:37:42,778
Acclaim, prizes,
media attention will follow.
808
00:37:42,820 --> 00:37:47,865
I'll be the man credited with
rebuilding the world, not you.
809
00:37:56,274 --> 00:37:58,276
Philip...
810
00:38:00,998 --> 00:38:03,079
if this guy has
a vulnerability, a weakness,
811
00:38:03,121 --> 00:38:06,162
a quirk of character
that we can use against him,
812
00:38:06,204 --> 00:38:08,206
now would be
the time to share it.
813
00:38:08,886 --> 00:38:10,446
[sighs]
I'd love to help,
814
00:38:10,488 --> 00:38:12,168
but I've got nothing
to help with.
815
00:38:12,210 --> 00:38:13,809
I was an admiring student.
816
00:38:13,851 --> 00:38:16,212
I've never seen that contentious
side of him before.
817
00:38:16,254 --> 00:38:18,374
I've known him as nice.
Conscientious.
818
00:38:18,416 --> 00:38:21,177
I don't know how to get inside
his head and turn him around.
819
00:38:21,219 --> 00:38:23,221
[clicks tongue]
820
00:38:27,385 --> 00:38:29,945
He's a process guy.
821
00:38:29,987 --> 00:38:33,389
He had a 1966 emerald-green
Karmann Ghia 1300.
822
00:38:33,431 --> 00:38:34,790
He loved that car.
823
00:38:34,832 --> 00:38:36,792
Talked about
how the Karmann Ghia 1300
824
00:38:36,834 --> 00:38:39,074
was made for the road.
825
00:38:39,116 --> 00:38:40,836
They weren't durable cars,
826
00:38:40,878 --> 00:38:43,559
so sometimes
you'd see them in garages.
827
00:38:43,601 --> 00:38:45,040
That really bothers him,
828
00:38:45,082 --> 00:38:46,922
the thought that it might
happen to his.
829
00:38:46,964 --> 00:38:48,964
So he bought an entirely
different Karmann Ghia
830
00:38:49,006 --> 00:38:51,207
and stripped it for parts
to save the green one.
831
00:38:51,249 --> 00:38:52,808
Had someone
in the engineering school
832
00:38:52,850 --> 00:38:54,089
match the paint perfectly.
833
00:38:54,131 --> 00:38:55,931
So he's an obsessive.
834
00:38:55,973 --> 00:38:58,416
[Philip]
I'd put it slightly differently.
835
00:38:59,777 --> 00:39:01,897
He's a man
who follows his passion.
836
00:39:01,939 --> 00:39:04,780
Who builds something
and then takes care of it.
837
00:39:04,822 --> 00:39:06,502
That's where
this is coming from.
838
00:39:06,544 --> 00:39:08,704
I mean, he used to take that car
out to these rallies
839
00:39:08,746 --> 00:39:11,427
with whales from
the Stanford Board of Trustees.
840
00:39:11,469 --> 00:39:12,908
They used to try
and buy it off him,
841
00:39:12,950 --> 00:39:14,630
but he wouldn't sell.
842
00:39:14,672 --> 00:39:17,793
The smile on his face
when he would drive off in it...
843
00:39:17,835 --> 00:39:20,516
pure joy of someone who loved
something enough
844
00:39:20,558 --> 00:39:23,559
to take care of it in a way
that it served him perfectly.
845
00:39:23,601 --> 00:39:25,040
Good. Good. Yeah.
846
00:39:25,082 --> 00:39:26,762
That's just the story
I needed to hear.
847
00:39:26,804 --> 00:39:29,165
Kate, I'm betting
Ruloff cozied up
848
00:39:29,207 --> 00:39:31,447
to some billie board member
of the university
849
00:39:31,489 --> 00:39:33,169
to back his war against me.
850
00:39:33,211 --> 00:39:34,410
We still need to outbid him.
851
00:39:34,452 --> 00:39:35,931
Well, what if we can't?
852
00:39:35,973 --> 00:39:38,133
Yes, if he did get himself
a bigger tank,
853
00:39:38,175 --> 00:39:39,815
that might be the case.
854
00:39:39,857 --> 00:39:41,777
So we sue for injunctive relief
855
00:39:41,819 --> 00:39:43,379
on behalf of one
of our other patents.
856
00:39:43,421 --> 00:39:45,781
We won't win that,
which you obviously know.
857
00:39:45,823 --> 00:39:47,062
Winning won't matter.
858
00:39:47,104 --> 00:39:48,904
As Philip's story tells us,
859
00:39:48,946 --> 00:39:51,387
Ruloff will sacrifice everything
but the central project,
860
00:39:51,429 --> 00:39:53,431
the central idea.
861
00:39:54,912 --> 00:39:56,312
He'd cannibalise
perfectly good cars
862
00:39:56,354 --> 00:39:58,113
just to keep his on the road.
863
00:39:58,155 --> 00:40:00,756
It was the getting it on the
road that was everything to him.
864
00:40:00,798 --> 00:40:02,318
Still is.
865
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:03,959
If we can keep him in court,
866
00:40:04,001 --> 00:40:05,961
and his prize Karmann Ghia
in the garage,
867
00:40:06,003 --> 00:40:09,164
it'll drive him crazy enough to
share the Karmann Ghia with us,
868
00:40:09,206 --> 00:40:11,409
as long as it gets it moving.
869
00:40:13,571 --> 00:40:15,573
That tracks.
870
00:40:18,416 --> 00:40:20,418
I know what to do.
871
00:40:38,836 --> 00:40:43,239
A hearty welcome to all of you
gamesters, sports, speculators,
872
00:40:43,281 --> 00:40:45,080
pikers, and punters.
873
00:40:45,122 --> 00:40:47,523
Tonight, we offer you the chance
to test your luck
874
00:40:47,565 --> 00:40:50,846
and skill at roulette,
blackjack, craps,
875
00:40:50,888 --> 00:40:53,569
baccarat and Texas Hold 'Em.
876
00:40:53,611 --> 00:40:57,253
Drinks are free, and everyone
starts with 5,000 in chips,
877
00:40:57,295 --> 00:41:00,015
with unlimited rebuys
at your own expense.
878
00:41:00,057 --> 00:41:01,697
Proceeds go to charity,
of course,
879
00:41:01,739 --> 00:41:04,300
but the chip leader
at the end of the night
880
00:41:04,342 --> 00:41:07,182

-Oh, we've got it all.
940
00:44:45,002 --> 00:44:46,722
So, most of these folks,
941
00:44:46,764 --> 00:44:49,485
the abstraction of having
chips instead of cards,
942
00:44:49,527 --> 00:44:52,287

of value off instantly.

is crushing everybody

they're calling Dollar Bill,

transfers to the workplace.
962
00:45:46,584 --> 00:45:49,184
So, Ruloff,
963
00:45:49,226 --> 00:45:50,786
far from letting himself
be sharked,
964
00:45:50,828 --> 00:45:53,308
got a killer whale
to protect him,
965
00:45:53,350 --> 00:45:54,590
but it ain't working.
966
00:45:54,632 --> 00:45:56,111
Or it was working so well
967
00:45:56,153 --> 00:45:57,673
that Prince had to come at him
another way
968
00:45:57,715 --> 00:45:59,194
to strike the fatal blow.
969
00:45:59,236 --> 00:46:00,916
Uh-huh. What was the move?
970
00:46:00,958 --> 00:46:03,358
Filed suit to block
Ruloff's purchase of Enzy-Novo.
971
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:06,081
In California. It's gonna end up
in the 9th Circuit.

00:46:06,123 --> 00:46:07,723
Where it'll be years
before it's settled out.
973
00:46:07,765 --> 00:46:09,124

976
00:46:12,650 --> 00:46:14,890
I don't like it.
977
00:46:14,932 --> 00:46:17,532
Neither one of these guys
should be spending their time
978
00:46:17,574 --> 00:46:20,375
trying to win at all costs.
979
00:46:20,417 --> 00:46:22,738
If this thing is as good for
the world as it promises to be,
980
00:46:22,780 --> 00:46:25,020
they should only be focused
on bringing it out.
981
00:46:25,062 --> 00:46:26,702
And worry about the money,
982
00:46:26,744 --> 00:46:29,544
of which there will be plenty,
later.
983
00:46:29,586 --> 00:46:31,066
I mean, think about it.
984
00:46:31,108 --> 00:46:32,908
Louis Pasteur's
first order of business
985
00:46:32,950 --> 00:46:34,309
was doing the good thing,
986
00:46:34,351 --> 00:46:36,071
not cashing in
on his breakthroughs
987
00:46:36,113 --> 00:46:38,754
like these two brigands.
988
00:46:38,796 --> 00:46:42,359
No single person should control
something like this.
989
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:44,840
There's got to be a way
990
00:46:44,882 --> 00:46:46,884
to take them both
out of the equation.
991
00:46:47,725 --> 00:46:49,887
Unless the whole thing
is a setup.
992
00:46:51,689 --> 00:46:54,489
Wendy comes to you,
you go to the kid,
993
00:46:54,531 --> 00:46:56,451
he gets you
to swallow the poison,
994
00:46:56,493 --> 00:46:57,773
thinking it's just wine.
995
00:46:57,815 --> 00:46:59,735
Oh, Wendy and I aren't
out there
996
00:46:59,777 --> 00:47:03,058
in that particular bad place,
in that particular way.
997
00:47:03,100 --> 00:47:06,061
And, I mean, if we are,
give me the poison now.
998
00:47:06,103 --> 00:47:07,382
Get it over with.
999
00:47:07,424 --> 00:47:08,624
Or just be careful.
1000
00:47:08,666 --> 00:47:09,985
How come he didn't make a move
1001
00:47:10,027 --> 00:47:11,226
to stop things on his own?
1002
00:47:11,268 --> 00:47:12,668
His move was reaching me.
1003
00:47:12,710 --> 00:47:14,549
What else could he do
on the inside?
1004
00:47:14,591 --> 00:47:16,792
Well, just play it out.
1005
00:47:16,834 --> 00:47:18,994
Don't drink whatever goblet's
put in front of you.
1006
00:47:19,036 --> 00:47:21,236
And then it doesn't matter
what's inside it.
1007
00:47:21,278 --> 00:47:22,878
Fine. Yes.
1008
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:24,880
We proceed without allowing
any kind of opening,
1009
00:47:24,922 --> 00:47:26,121
as we always do.
1010
00:47:26,163 --> 00:47:28,443
But proceed we must.
1011
00:47:28,485 --> 00:47:30,487
How do we get it done?
1012
00:47:31,408 --> 00:47:33,410
The only word
that comes to mind:
1013
00:47:34,651 --> 00:47:36,653
Spielbergian.
1014
00:47:39,176 --> 00:47:40,615
Is that a word?
1015
00:47:40,657 --> 00:47:42,659
It ought to be.
1016
00:47:47,064 --> 00:47:49,224
I just got a nasty text
from Marc Ruloff.
1017
00:47:49,266 --> 00:47:50,585
That's 'cause it's over.
1018
00:47:50,627 --> 00:47:51,867
You blocked him
and beat him?
1019
00:47:51,909 --> 00:47:53,108
Nope.
1020
00:47:53,150 --> 00:47:55,110
But it's over all the same.
1021
00:47:55,152 --> 00:47:57,554
The Department of Defence
did a march-in.
1022
00:47:59,476 --> 00:48:01,636
The entire projectwas declared classified
1023
00:48:01,678 --> 00:48:03,680
by the federal government.
1024
00:48:05,002 --> 00:48:06,641
Your patent,
everything in this office,
1025
00:48:06,683 --> 00:48:08,323
and everything
associated with this work
1026
00:48:08,365 --> 00:48:10,125
will now be controlled
by the federal government.
1027
00:48:10,167 --> 00:48:12,647
You have rights,
and there is a process
1028
00:48:12,689 --> 00:48:15,532
which will now be overseen
by the Department of Defence.
1029
00:48:17,094 --> 00:48:18,934
You dropped the dime
to the government?
1030
00:48:18,976 --> 00:48:21,136
Could he have
tipped them off himself?
1031
00:48:21,178 --> 00:48:22,657
Killed it instead
of letting you have it?
1032
00:48:22,699 --> 00:48:25,060
Don't think so.
Doesn't matter now.
1033
00:48:25,102 --> 00:48:26,902
The government
will sit on this discovery
1034
00:48:26,944 --> 00:48:29,544
like the Ark of the Covenant
in that endless warehouse.
1035
00:48:29,586 --> 00:48:31,106
Why won't they get it
into the market?
1036
00:48:31,148 --> 00:48:32,788
Well, first of all,
they're inept.
1037
00:48:32,830 --> 00:48:34,589
Then, you know,
think of the special interests.
1038
00:48:34,631 --> 00:48:35,991
The unions.
The conflicts.
1039
00:48:36,033 --> 00:48:38,353
Yeah. They'll use
potential unknown
1040
00:48:38,395 --> 00:48:40,035
health or structural liabilities
1041
00:48:40,077 --> 00:48:41,717
to get the government
to keep testing it.
1042
00:48:41,759 --> 00:48:43,518
Yeah, so, no.
It's not coming to market.
1043
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:44,760
Not now.
1044
00:48:44,802 --> 00:48:46,804
So no one gets the benefit.
1045
00:48:47,845 --> 00:48:49,324
It's like everyone
just literally said,
1046
00:48:49,366 --> 00:48:51,366
"Fine,
kill the damned infant."
1047
00:48:51,408 --> 00:48:53,849
Well, the upside is that
when I take the oath of office
1048
00:48:53,891 --> 00:48:57,092
and I do declassify it
and release it,
1049
00:48:57,134 --> 00:49:00,215
it'll start us off very,
very nicely.
1050
00:49:00,257 --> 00:49:03,178
Better: you hold
until right after
1051
00:49:03,220 --> 00:49:05,220
you announce
for a second term.
1052
00:49:05,262 --> 00:49:07,983
Eight years in office
for President Prince locked up.
1053
00:49:08,025 --> 00:49:09,825
Ooh, I like that a lot.
1054
00:49:09,867 --> 00:49:12,990
Hold it, then splash.
1055
00:49:16,794 --> 00:49:19,556
Maybe Ruloff did me a favour
by trying to stop me.
1056
00:49:41,138 --> 00:49:44,099
Let me go over your debt, find
you some corridors out of this.
1057
00:49:44,141 --> 00:49:46,101
I think...
1058
00:49:46,143 --> 00:49:48,906
No. You've done enough.
1059
00:49:50,107 --> 00:49:52,347
More than enough.
1060
00:49:52,389 --> 00:49:55,110
Our engagement ends
when you walk out that door.
1061
00:49:55,152 --> 00:49:58,553
Before I do, I just want you
to know that my intentions--
1062
00:49:58,595 --> 00:50:00,515
I misspoke.
1063
00:50:00,557 --> 00:50:02,559
Our engagement ends now.
1064
00:50:18,815 --> 00:50:20,817
[door opens]
1065
00:50:23,060 --> 00:50:25,340
We're here to set the terms
for the performance reviews.
1066
00:50:25,382 --> 00:50:28,063
Should we wait until Philip
is here before we start?
1067
00:50:28,105 --> 00:50:29,544
He's not coming.
1068
00:50:29,586 --> 00:50:31,026
Oh, well,
1069
00:50:31,068 --> 00:50:34,789
there is a new harmonious spirit
on the floor.
1070
00:50:34,831 --> 00:50:36,191
We think there's
a road to compromise
1071
00:50:36,233 --> 00:50:37,913
that you'll find productive.
1072
00:50:37,955 --> 00:50:39,594
It's irrelevant at this point.
We have what we need.
1073
00:50:39,636 --> 00:50:41,116
How's that?
1074
00:50:41,158 --> 00:50:43,999
You all said nothing
but told us everything.
1075
00:50:44,041 --> 00:50:46,842
I've taken Vanessa Selbst's
raw research
1076
00:50:46,884 --> 00:50:48,964
and put it into language
that discloses
1077
00:50:49,006 --> 00:50:52,487
what the usual comp process
does, and much more.
1078
00:50:52,529 --> 00:50:55,050
Using prospect theory,
1079
00:50:55,092 --> 00:50:57,052
as based on
Kahneman and Tversky's
1080
00:50:57,094 --> 00:50:59,614
Nobel Prize-winning research
recognising loss aversion
1081
00:50:59,656 --> 00:51:02,940
that veers directly
into sunk cost fallacy...
1082
00:51:05,142 --> 00:51:07,822
along with many other
related pathologies
1083
00:51:07,864 --> 00:51:09,866
that were revealed
the other night...
1084
00:51:11,628 --> 00:51:13,308
the participation
of the employees
1085
00:51:13,350 --> 00:51:14,669
is no longer required.
1086
00:51:14,711 --> 00:51:16,511
[Victor]
Shit.
1087
00:51:16,553 --> 00:51:20,475
Casino Night wasn't
some team-building exercise.
1088
00:51:20,517 --> 00:51:23,000
It was an observation chamber.
1089
00:51:24,321 --> 00:51:26,241
Yes, we already know
what we need to know
1090
00:51:26,283 --> 00:51:28,083
in order to gauge the employees'
risk assessment,
1091
00:51:28,125 --> 00:51:29,684
strategic approach,
expected outcome,
1092
00:51:29,726 --> 00:51:30,926
performance in general.
1093
00:51:30,968 --> 00:51:32,167
Thanks for your time.
1094
00:51:32,209 --> 00:51:33,848
Son of a bitch.
1095
00:51:33,890 --> 00:51:36,011
What's next,
the Milgram experiment?
1096
00:51:36,053 --> 00:51:39,616
You want to see if we'll
join in shocking each other?
1097
00:51:42,299 --> 00:51:45,300
Oh, who was the winner
of the big prize?
1098
00:51:45,342 --> 00:51:46,982
Peach took it down.
1099
00:51:47,024 --> 00:51:48,423
Fuck me.
1100
00:51:48,465 --> 00:51:50,505
-Wow, wow, wow.
-Does she even golf?
1101
00:51:50,547 --> 00:51:52,707
I hear she's about to flip it
to a PM at another firm
1102
00:51:52,749 --> 00:51:54,751
for 300 grand.
1103
00:51:58,475 --> 00:52:00,075
Shame they're so upset.
1104
00:52:00,117 --> 00:52:02,357
Victor and Rian had
some of the best approaches.
1105
00:52:02,399 --> 00:52:04,401
Unlike the bulk of those losers.
1106
00:52:05,282 --> 00:52:07,122
Including you, Wags.
1107
00:52:07,164 --> 00:52:09,164
You were in on the gag,
and yet you bled off
1108
00:52:09,206 --> 00:52:11,366
$4,900 in chips at baccarat.
1109
00:52:11,408 --> 00:52:12,887
Me?
1110
00:52:12,929 --> 00:52:15,172
I thought I was on the inside,
that I'm exempt.
1111
00:52:16,213 --> 00:52:17,812
[laughs] Oh, no.
1112
00:52:17,854 --> 00:52:19,614
No one's exempt.
1113
00:52:19,656 --> 00:52:21,696
Goddamn it.
1114
00:52:21,738 --> 00:52:24,019
Scooter, you're definitely
not getting invited
1115
00:52:24,061 --> 00:52:26,063
to mini golf next week.
1116
00:52:26,583 --> 00:52:28,585
None of you are.
1117
00:52:32,309 --> 00:52:34,629
Everything I did
went to shit.
1118
00:52:34,671 --> 00:52:36,511
I tried to run
a performance review,
1119
00:52:36,553 --> 00:52:39,234
and it turned into
a psychological study.
1120
00:52:39,276 --> 00:52:41,196
I tried to help the firm
and ended up with nothing.
1121
00:52:41,238 --> 00:52:44,401
I tried to help my old teacher,
he lost everything.
1122
00:52:45,882 --> 00:52:47,842
I hoped to change the world,
it went nowhere.
1123
00:52:47,884 --> 00:52:49,884
You're giving yourself
a lot of credit
1124
00:52:49,926 --> 00:52:52,169
for how much
you supposedly control.
1125
00:52:54,891 --> 00:52:56,893
[sighs]
1126
00:52:57,374 --> 00:52:59,376
No, you're right.
1127
00:52:59,896 --> 00:53:01,898
I should give you some.
1128
00:53:03,700 --> 00:53:05,660
Because when I went to you
and your ex-husband,
1129
00:53:05,702 --> 00:53:08,065
that's when the crap
really started flowing downhill.
1130
00:53:10,387 --> 00:53:13,228
Instead of handing out
the kudos and the blame,
1131
00:53:13,270 --> 00:53:17,194
why don't we talk about
turning this mess into action.
1132
00:53:19,276 --> 00:53:20,595
Because I saw you
in his office,
1133
00:53:20,637 --> 00:53:22,197
and I know how you feel.
1134
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:24,439
Whatever plan you're
considering, leave me out.
1135
00:53:24,481 --> 00:53:26,361
Whatever you, and Taylor,
and I don't know who else
1136
00:53:26,403 --> 00:53:28,405
are thinking about doing...
1137
00:53:31,688 --> 00:53:33,408
I can't.
1138
00:53:33,450 --> 00:53:35,570
Won't. I don't even want to.
1139
00:53:35,612 --> 00:53:38,253
I need, and I will have,
complete deniability.
1140
00:53:38,295 --> 00:53:40,575
As-is, right now, there is
nothing I could tell anyone,
1141
00:53:40,617 --> 00:53:42,337
nothing I should tell anyone.
1142
00:53:42,379 --> 00:53:44,381
I aim to keep it that way.
1143
00:53:46,463 --> 00:53:48,465
Then you do that.
1144
00:54:04,921 --> 00:54:06,963
You have an old friend
at Defence, don't you?
1145
00:54:08,285 --> 00:54:09,924
Did you talk to him lately?
1146
00:54:09,966 --> 00:54:14,849
Maybe ask him to, well,
classify something
1147
00:54:14,891 --> 00:54:17,132
that could really help
the country,
1148
00:54:17,174 --> 00:54:19,216
just to screw over a rival?
1149
00:54:21,498 --> 00:54:24,861
If my actions hurt the man,
that is the way it is.
1150
00:54:26,143 --> 00:54:28,263
I presume he intends
to declassify it,
1151
00:54:28,305 --> 00:54:30,585
if and when
he gets into office.
1152
00:54:30,627 --> 00:54:34,191
But I can keep
the wolf at bay for now.
1153
00:54:35,472 --> 00:54:37,474
See how that works out.
1154
00:54:38,915 --> 00:54:40,917
Right.
1155
00:54:42,199 --> 00:54:43,918
A lot of ways
this could have gone
1156
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:46,521
once you connected me
with that fella Philip Charyn.
1157
00:54:46,563 --> 00:54:49,286
But then you knew that.
1158
00:54:52,169 --> 00:54:54,411
Yep. I suppose I did.

[door opens]
1160
00:55:01,818 --> 00:55:03,818
Well, some things
turn out just fine.
1161
00:55:03,860 --> 00:55:05,460
Yes, they do.
A lot of things.
