Previously on The Foundation. My Emperor
Nuwanda, I come to build a plan for

you. You make sure Bokar gives you paper
saying the plant costs 10 million.

The desalination plant is costing almost
as much as we're pretending it costs.

That bad check will lead him right to
the Lichtenstein account.

The King of Nuwanda wants his son
entertained in a family atmosphere.

Is the King still in the dark about the
kickbacks from the plant?

Tread lightly.

In 1977, tobacco baron Randolph James
Selkirk established the R .J. Selkirk

Foundation. As a grand act of penance,
Selkirk bequeathed $300 million to the

foundation under the all -encompassing
mandate... For the betterment of

humankind worldwide.

Today, the R .J. Selkirk Foundation is
managed by Michael Valmont Selkirk, a

legally allotted to him for life in a
separation agreement from R .J.'s

granddaughter.

Hey, take a look. How much is that?

$250 ,000.

$250 ,000.

Do you think that's too much to spend on
a 24 -hour copter standby?

You can't start spending the kickback
money from the desalination plant yet,

okay? We don't want to draw attention to
ourselves.

This is just a taste, just a start.

You said it was clean money.

It is. A casino is the best laundromat
you can find. The chief takes a small

cut, it's perfect.

But we just can't get all flashy with
the cash.

It's for small -timers.

We should get the chief something, you
know? Stop by the trading post, get some

smokes. You're supposed to do that when
you visit Indians. You're supposed to

bring smokes. Don't say Indians, okay?
Promise me that.

You're supposed to say the I -word now,
Barry. It's a way to take back the

power. From guys like us?

Hey, you got any 20s?

Give me some 20s.

Come on, hurry up. Give me some 20s.

First installment was wired from
Lichtenstein. Thank you.

We'll need 10 % increments on the
monthly foreign wires.

Varying rate will be easier for us to
implement on our seasonal flux.

By all means.

Is there a possibility we can turn this
down a smidge? I have asthma.

What's my asthma got to do with your
years of suffering? So we were hoping to

start drawing out on the first...
There's still one other small

Chief Degaquitha, we've already met all
the conditions. We've gone forward...

Whatever you want, Chief. It is your
land. We're just humble guests.

I have a nephew up for parole.

I believe the Justice Minister is on
your board.

I was hoping you could exercise some
influence there.

With all due respect, I don't see how...
He's a good boy.

Held under false charges for 15 years.

Now his mother's sick.

To see Daniel Jett safe and home is her
dying wish.

Chief, take a quick... Consider it done.

It would be my honor to perform for you
this small task and honor.

Humbling.

Oh, Christ.

That's hot.

Daniel Jett gets out.

You get your clean money.

So, Parkinson's UK has approached us
about a joint initiative, but I can't

it's all that exciting. We need to raise
our profile beyond run of the mill.

All right, people.

Listen up.

We are going to free Daniel Jett Copper.

What? This guy was railroaded, okay?

A real miscarriage of justice.

Just another disgusting display of white
man's ignorance and prejudice.

Mike, I think that is a great idea.

You do?

Daniel Jack Copper is a great man. He's
a great poet.

Is he?

Killing that police officer, I mean,
that was no different than a child

defending himself against an enemy
combatant.

He killed a cop?

When he was 15 years old.

The fact that he is still incarcerated
is a travesty. I think it's an

idea. I'll set up a meeting with the
Justice Minister.

And a bingo night. What else gets white
guys and Indians together?

Bingo. We'll sit around a big table.
It'll be like Thanksgiving, but funner,

with spelling and numbers.

Mike, don't say Indian, okay?

Don't. My main concern, of course, is
that anyone attached to my cause

understand and appreciate the complexity
of the underlying issues.

It's a total travesty of justice.

There's no way you killed that guy.

No one disputes Mr. Copper's involvement
in the incident, Mike.

Of course not. Call me Jet.

Jet. Okay.

I can assure you that I will do
everything in my power to secure your

There is strength in you. I can see
that.

I'll have some contracts drawn up in the
morning, the right to use your image.

Approved image.

So, um, do you need anything? Books or
the newest edition of the Paris Review?

mean, I could bring anything unless
you... I don't... Smokes be good.

Great.

He's a man of great artistic worth,
Justice Minister.

His father was driven off the reserve
and abandoned in sub -zero temperatures

the same police officer he later
attacked.

And his mom's sick.

He sucked a cop's eye out, then shot him
through the socket. Christ, what did he

do with the eye?

The brutality of Jet's acts only reflect
the systemized degradation in which he

was raised.

Jet? Mr. Copper.

It would appear the lovely lady is more
swayed by Jett's charms than any so

-called injustices he may have endured.

I find that... stimulating.

But it'll take more than adolescent
pleading to persuade me to take on the

of public criticism releasing Mr. Copper
would provoke.

What will it take?

That, I will leave to the three of you.

Have a good day.

He has no idea what is coming his way.
Full media assault, online petitions.

no one's tried that approach so far.

Face it, we're screwed.

What do you care anyways, Barry? You
don't ever care about anything.

I'm one -eighth native, all right?

You're late.

I had a very important meeting with the
Justice Minister, okay?

What do you want with Jerry Renfrew?

What do you want with Jerry?

What? We're lobbying him.

To get a very prestigious murderer out
of jail.

Not Daniel Jett.

Oh, Jesus Christ.

Line up.

I hope you've got something a bit more
persuasive than lobbying.

Are you offering him cash?

You think we should bribe him?

Unless you've got a hoochie in those
pants I'm not aware of. That's your only

option. So, to get to Cody.

She is a very bright girl, Mr. Nelson
Selkirk. But we find she's having a

trouble with authority figures.

Why is that?

before my mother's gone.

Your face will see sunlight again, I
promise you.

It's getting really hot in here, don't
you think?

When do we get to serve?

What the hell are you doing here?

I believe the jet is ready for takeoff.

What did you just do? I heard you liked
key lime soy. Cut you off a piece to

take home.

Get that out of there right now.

Right now.

You, uh, you don't, uh, peddle personal
interest at a member's club. You

imbecile. But you're still hungry for
pea cannon.

General, right? But I don't have a rich
wife that I can take pastry from, do I?

Well, how about we get you some yeast to
help your dough rise?

But we don't eat cake in bed, do we?

Leaves too many crumbs.

All right, I'm lost.

I'm lost. I'm completely lost.

What are you talking about? Can we bribe
you or what?

What does it take? How much do you need?

We'll find you. Good, good, good.

That guy speaks in riddles.

In addition to his cottage.

Hell, a cottage.

Pressure's on. We got page three in the
Globe with the weekend art section

running his poetry.

Oh, I think that rat Renfrew's gonna
flip all right, Cynthia.

I've got a hunch.

He's got a press conference tomorrow, so
I'm meeting him tonight to put the

screws to him. If all goes as planned,
he will give us his support in front of

the media tomorrow.

You decline interviews, you refuse to
comment, but you will have to address

Copper's parole hearing eventually,
Justice Minister.

You really have a thing for this psycho,
don't you?

Tell me something.

Would it make a difference if I wore a
headdress and carried a tomahawk? I will

not relent in my efforts to release him.
The question isn't when you'll stop,

Cynthia. The question is how far you're
willing to go.

You're disgusting.

Not a quality I dispute.

The pressure's just starting, Renfrew.
Flip tomorrow.

Do yourself a favor.

Rather you did one for me.

Renfrew! Jesus!

Wondering if you'd like to give our
eagle an extension.

Subtle and untraceable. This isn't even
my house.

Amateur hour.

All right.

Deliver the extra large pizza here.

Would you like anchovies on that?

What are you even talking about?

Can you get the hell out with another
cab?

Will you support Daniel J. Copper's
parole?

I'm here to support the start of a
prison expansion to an era of modern,

incarceration, leading to more
successful rehabilitations.

You think Hopper is fully rehabilitated?

Pierre, we're going to have to wait and
see what the parole board decides.

For me to weigh in at this time would be
premature.

Thank you very much, ladies and
gentlemen. Merci beaucoup, les amis. But

your personal opinion, sir?

What the hell was that? We delivered our
pizza on time. Get in.

I think I'm ready for the main course.

This isn't a buffet, sir.

Well, then maybe you ought to put a
couple more steaks on the grill.

What, are you going to dine and dash
again?

Depends how tender the meat is. This is
ridiculous.

All right, just spit it out. How much
goddamn money do you want? Shh.

Well, another $200 ,000 ought to do it.
Christ.

Fine.

But I want his ass paroled. Of course.

Chief Teguitha, I'm so sorry. I thought
Renfrew would flip today.

Cynthia, isn't it?

Daniel speaks highly of you.

He says you are his pillar.

He wants you to meet his mother while
there's still time.

I would be honored.

I just wish... This Renfrew is a dog,
no?

A complete dog, sir.

Dogs like dirt, no?

I get it.

Track the dog.

You'll find the dirt.

We've found questionable deposits in a
Cayman bank account rent through

controls. People always think these
accounts are untraceable.

Everything is traceable.

I'll call the media. Not yet. We need
time.

Time to trace the money back to the
source, wait out another deposit,

demonstrate a pattern. What do you think
he's up to?

Bribes, drugs, prostitution.

No one opens a Cayman account to buy
Sports Illustrated.

Transit number 0079.

Account number 485629970.

Read that back to me.

So, my daughter gives me this Japanese
tea with this crap floating around in

It's called bubble tea.

I think it's the same stuff they put in
beanbag chairs. Yeah, it's an Asian

thing. What's wrong with those people?
It tastes like soap.

We got the little weasel.

I'm going to nail his ass to the wall at
bingo tonight. He's not even going to

see it coming. Oh, I think you'll be
coming around like... What? What have

got? I don't want to go into too much
detail just yet, but it is guaranteed

juicy. Boy hookers. Mike, I'm not
saying. I don't want any leaks.

Thai boy hookers on dope. He's a dead
man walking. I can promise you that.

Some form of hooker though, right?

The

poetry

of

Daniel Jett Copper.

We can free this voice, ladies and
gentlemen.

Our spirits will join and push down the
walls of injustice.

Thank you.

Enjoy the game.

Are you in charge of it?

If you'd like to sign a petition,
there's copies on all the tables. I was

Constable Brent Tufford's partner the
night he was killed.

Who?

The man the copper slaughtered.

He left four kids behind.

Under the eye. Would you excuse me,
please? I have something important.

He sucked out his eye, and then he shot
him through the socket.

Under the O, 72.

Gentlemen, what do you want? A bit of a
sweet tooth.

I think it might be time for the dessert
menu.

Profita rolls is nice. They don't have
enough puffs for my puff filler. Under

the O, 62.

I need more money. The bank's closed,
Renfrew. Then I guess Tonto stays in the

pen. I don't think so.

I think you're in for a big surprise,
Renfrew.

I think you're in for a big, big,
embarrassing, underage surprise.

What the hell are you talking about?

I want you to take that little squirrely
tongue of yours and slowly, very

slowly, lick my tangy bag clean.

He is going to rot in there.

Take my word for it, he's not going to
see the light of day.

Sit down, Jerry.

Sit.

Read.

I have documented proof that you've been
accepting large cash wire transfers,

bribes, from a bank account in
Liechtenstein.

Take that, jackass.

So either you go up there and you
announce Jett's parole, or I'm going to

there and ruin your political career.

Under the O... All right.

75.

You got me.

I've been accepting bribes. I knew it.
Christ.

I've been accepting bribes from you.

From your foundation. From these two
morons. What?

That's absolute nonsense.

Those transactions are untraceable.
Really?

I've got all the proof right here.

As do you, apparently.

This is what's going to happen, folks.

You are going to triple my last request.

And maybe, Barry, maybe he gets out.

But Cynthia, my personal offer, it still
stands.

You've got my number.

Gentlemen. Under the N -45.

Under the N -45. It's true, isn't it?

We took the money from the MS fund.

This cause is very close to my heart.

It's all donations, right?

We just re -donated. To a worthy cause.
A very worthy cause.

They haven't even got a cure for him,
that's right.

Does she know that we bribed him? But
does she know where the money in

Lichtenstein came from? We better hope
not.

Double McCallum?

What's wrong?

The night's a hit.

I love bingo.

Selena, I have some terrible news about
the foundation.

I don't even know. Spare me the build
-up. I'm on my fifth martini.

Michael and Barry have been bribing
Renfrew.

I thought you should be the first to
know.

I do know that.

I told Mike to do it.

Selena, that's totally illegal.

It goes against everything that we stand
for. It's how you get things done.

Spare me the girl guide routine,
Cynthia.

This is not the high school debating
class. This is reality.

You want to get something done, you do
it, whether it's right or it's wrong.

You close the deal.

Well, if the police were to find out...
They're not going to find out, are they?

Listen,

Cynthia, don't take the high road on
this one.

It's not going to lead you anywhere
good.

Especially you.

Especially Daniel.

You've done great tonight.

We're going to get him out, chin up.
Thanks, Chief.

Daniel's mother was really looking
forward to meeting you, but she couldn't

out.

Her condition went south. Doctors
wouldn't let her leave the hospital.

I only hope Daniel gets out in time.

Me too.

063. 063.

Bingo!

Bingo! I got a bingo!

That was a bingo. All bingos are now
closed.

Everything's ready. I can take you to
your mom right away.

Freedom rushes into me like November's
mountain wind.

I now soar with the stars, dream with
the sun, where before only concrete

lay tarnished.

Thank you. Selina talked to him.

She won't rat us out.

This isn't like her.

Look, her man's out now.

There's water under the bridge. She'll
thank us tomorrow.

Something's not right.

Come on.

Think about what you're going to do with
that first wire that comes in from the

chief.

I'm going to be collecting interest.

As are you.

The funds really bounced around the
place.

Bank accounts all over the world.

Hard, but not impossible to trace.

The people who are bribing Renfrew, they
know what they're doing.

Very slick.

Surprising. The source funneling
Lichtenstein is a bank in Africa.

A country on the West Coast.

Nuwanda. Does this ring a bell with you?

Anything that can help us connect some
dots from Renfrew.

Nuanda.

You're sure?

100%. Anything you can think of.

No, never heard of that country.

Now you guess. Okay, my regular commute.

It's 45 minutes, but after the test
spin, we go to the other top of another

building. It shaved like seven minutes
off my commute. It used to be 45

now it's like 30, 34, 37.

Hey, look, just wait a year on the
copter, all right? That's all I'm

year.

Hey, no hard feelings?

Sorry, it was on a need -to -know basis.

How's Jet?

He's good.

Cool. So we're cool.

Cool.
