[Bonnie] Previously on Billions...

This place doesn't feel very much

like a home to me right now.

Don't put our home up for sale.

A very interesting set of
permits just got expedited.

The beneficiary?
One Charles Rhoades, Senior.

Qatar State Bank is going to be
taken off the restricted list

and it's ready to give you
a sweetheart of a loan.

That does bring a grin.

[Senior] Are you sure about this?

[Chuck] Got it straight from
the Secretary Of The Treasury.

What do Jock Jeffcoat and
his disciples have on you?

Jock threatened to freeze funds,
delay funds, yank funds.

[Wendy] Axe is coming for you now.

[Wendy] He said you chose your
father over your business.

[Taylor] I'm sorry it
worked out this way.

My enemies seemed to have found a way

to aim the government at
us like a nuclear weapon.

Do you have any fucking
idea what you've done?

- Hey!
- Leave her alone, you fucking goon!

Fuck you, Bill!

I am gonna kick your ass!

shall meet in this cathedral

in a bout of pugilism
to satisfy grudges,

to excite the imagination

and in the good name of charity.

Shall we discuss glove weight?

Let's go with 8's. See some blood.

No headgear, of course.

Of course. Gotta see the punches land.

I've known that traitorous

Blown Glass, that was your

Nope. Algonquin Ass-Eater.

Done. Care to make a side wager?

To show you I appreciate...

It's like the end of Speed-The-Plow.

Remember we used to see plays together?

"Would you of gone to bed with me,
I didn't do your book."

I can't separate the

Uh-huh. And what is
the situation, exactly?

You don't want us to sell the house.

You want me to remember it's "home."

But that couple wants
to make us an offer.

And if they come in at our number,
I want us to take it.

It is "home."

They want to come back

Pricey. But worth it if
this goes the way we hope...

[dramatic music]

[Scott Wapner] Let's talk fracking...

[Taylor] Nothing to say,
since it's been banned.

But refining natural gas products

that have been fracked elsewhere

is still legal in this state.

So why do you want to
be short the refiners?

Over time they're a loser.

This bullshit is going
to crush our position.

Taylor's driving it down
on purpose. To frag us.

The bill in the state
legislature right now

to ban fracking...
I'm betting it passes...

Fossil fuels are a dead end.

As was my time at Axe Capital.

[Scott Wapner] What was the story there?

You were at one of the most
successful funds ever...

The Celtics were
dominant for a long time,

and then they weren't.

And Bobby Axelrod is no Larry Bird.

[Josh Brown] Whoa.
So you went out on your own.

- That's a big move.
- I wasn't going to stick around

while that company ran
itself into the ground.

I was going to launch a new
thing into the stratosphere.

[Josh Brown] Wait. Wait.
Wait... Are you saying

that Axe Capital is driving
itself into the ground?

Bobby Axelrod was my teacher,

so I have a certain amount
of nostalgic respect for him.

But he's a dinosaur.

[Taylor] So. Like any good student,

[Taylor] I learned what I
could from him and moved on.

[Taylor] The smart
money will do the same.

The smarter money will do it first.

Enough of this fucking horseshit.

You need to cut the head off of
this snake right fucking now.

This aggression will not stand...

Okay. Personal attacks aside, thoughts?

[scoffs] Shit.

I'll say it since the rest of you

are wimpier than George McFly at prom:

We've got to get out of our
New York refinery positions.

No, Bonnie.
That's just one investor talking.

We can push back. We'll win this thing.

Wags, figure out how to use lobbyists

to move the legislature through
regular political channels.

Victor, figure out
how to move 'em your way.

Albany's completely split on the issue.

It'll likely come down to the governor,
and he's agnostic.

The Street is split too.

Do you have intel?

- Not intel. No.
- I'm confused.

You're jumping into the
scrum with the score tied.

Based on percentages,
we could get killed.

And you just put a target on us.

This isn't just about
the refineries, is it?

Correct. This is not the time
to sit back and lick our wounds.

We need to go on the offensive,
dictate the action.

[Mafee] I've never seen
you like this before.

Like?

Cold. Openly vindictive.

You've also never seen them cut off

their own father's head before...

Uh, shit, sorry...

No. You're right.

I wasn't born with a
broadsword in my hand

but I was forced to learn
how to wield one, so I did.

And now I'm going full

She built a psych matrix

- My apologies, Chuck,

but I'm here on behalf of the DOJ,

which has grave concerns
about mobile voting...

Uh. You mean Jock Jeffcoat does.

Yes, he does.

Given our heightened issues
with cybersecurity...

should we really trust our entire
electoral system to mobile voting?

I admit, I share
the Attorney General's objection.

Uh-huh.

[clears throat]

Well I have an equally
pressing concern... democracy.

And inclusiveness.

Which is why it's vital we
approve mobile voting...

[Chuck] This is about
more people voting.

Which is the American ideal.

It's about what's right.

[Chuck] Which is
your board's mandate, Hap.

Let us seize this opportunity
to be true patriots.

To bring a voice to those without one.

I propose a-a pilot program

[Taylor] New York State
banned fracking because

it's not safe to take the

I don't lobby behind the scenes.

Or pretend I fired someone

who bested me every which way.

[Axe] Besting me?

Is that what you're calling
lying and pilfering?

With nothing to show for it, by the way.

You mean besides the Firefighters Fund?

[Taylor] The jewel in your crown,
and they came to me.

They were finally fed up
with your legal troubles...

not to mention the
killing you made on 9/11,

- profiting from tragedy.
- [laughter]

[Axe] You are way out of your depth.

I've been crushing the
S&P since you were in

- fucking footie pajamas...
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...

- Yeah!
- Fuck, yeah!

And now you're about to take
a bath on the refineries,

- so you're coming on TV to kill the stock.
- Guys. Maybe...

Taylor, the fact is,

you stabbed me in the back.

You're down a few billion AUM

[Axe] and now you're trying to salvage

[Axe] your tanking
company by attacking me.

But I'm gonna kick your
ass in the energy sector,

same way I'm gonna kick
your ass in the ring.

Hold on. Hold on now...
for our audience at home

that doesn't know what's going on...

he's not literally
going to beat Taylor up.

Their traders are about to
slug it out for charity.

[cheers and applause]

one million dollars that
my man beats theirs.

[Axe] Two million he knocks him out.

[Josh Brown] Taylor,
you want to respond to that?

I don't negotiate with bullies.

He's trying to box me in.
But I have a choice.

And it's one many on the Street

are starting to recognize and take.

[Taylor] And that is:
to not do business with Bobby Axelrod.

[Taylor] It's why I left Axe Cap,

[Chuck] Thank you for seeing me,

I'm here because I will not sit idly by

while your civil rights
are being hijacked.

Your people need better
access to voting.

I know in the past you've taken action,

applied for mobile voting
programs but were denied.

Now. As Attorney General,
I can help you make it happen.

As your wise predecessor,
Wilma Mankiller said,

"Leaders are encouraged to

"remember seven generations in the past

"and consider seven
generations in the future

when making decisions
that affect the people."

She was Cherokee.

I'm Haudenosaunee.

That would be like me citing
Vince Neil to sell you.

Does Vince Neil speak to who you are?

- Some days.
- Mr. Rhoades, you want me to lobby

the elections board for you.

Why would I do that for
the people who chiseled us

on the land deal surrounding the casino?

Chiseled?
I thought 'partnership' was more...

Your father has tasted
the fruits of our tribe

in a way that makes us disinclined

to trust either him or you.

Well...

There she is.

Ah. Look at that chin.

[Senior] I know that chin.

[Senior] Adorable. A champion.

She is.

My father will sweeten
your piece on Kingsford

to what you feel is fair...

[clears throat]

Fine. Whatever
my overly generous son needs.

As for your pilot program.

Send me your proposal.

Then we'll see.

Much appreciated.

Is that my little sister,

Don't worry, Sonny,
you'll always be my only child.

I could use your counsel.

I've been offered an opportunity

in media technology that

I'd never ask you to interfere.

But any intel...

You should proceed...

Alternate uses of

Even though Connerty and your big boss

Chuck Rhoades is lined
up on the other side.

Let's just say he's a little
more motivated on the issue.

[chuckles]

I know it's uncomfortable,

these places where my business
and your career intersect.

I am uncomfortable, but that's not why.

When I helped get Chuck ejected,
it was for the right reasons.

Open the window,
let in some light, some air.

It's still stuffy as hell in here.

Just promise you'll leave this place

before you become so conditioned

you can't function anywhere else.

You remember when I was a kid,
on my birthday,

and you'd spin me around
before I hit the piñata?

Sometimes I'd be so dizzy
from all the turning,

I'd end up just smacking the air.

That's what I'm feeling like lately.

Just all revved up to hit something,

but I just can't lock in on the target.

Then what you need to do is this:

Take the blindfold off,

wait 'til the brain-fog lifts,
choose your target,

swing as hard as you can,

and take its head off.
