Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:08,533 --> 00:00:10,933
Previously on "Billions"...
2
00:00:10,934 --> 00:00:13,099
An investigation has
begun into your office,
3
00:00:13,100 --> 00:00:16,299
and the man leading the investigation...
Oliver Dake.
4
00:00:16,300 --> 00:00:19,866
The payment that your wife
received from Axelrod,
5
00:00:19,867 --> 00:00:21,466
it may not be a bribe,
6
00:00:21,467 --> 00:00:23,432
but, dang, if it
doesn't look like one.
7
00:00:23,433 --> 00:00:25,632
Well, Lawrence Boyd
pissed right in my face.
8
00:00:25,633 --> 00:00:28,299
He didn't show. What
the hell do we do now?
9
00:00:28,300 --> 00:00:31,132
Bobby Axelrod could run
through the Serengeti
10
00:00:31,133 --> 00:00:32,599
and not break a sweat.
11
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,566
You do what you do
just as well as him.
12
00:00:35,567 --> 00:00:36,833
Maybe better.
13
00:00:36,834 --> 00:00:39,399
You can't allow yourself
to get drawn in
14
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,566
to an unwinnable fight.
15
00:00:41,567 --> 00:00:43,733
Victory will be swift.
16
00:00:43,734 --> 00:00:46,566
That will save us ten
million on this trade.
17
00:00:46,567 --> 00:00:48,165
This is why I need to keep you.
18
00:00:48,166 --> 00:00:50,032
I'd believe the same
thing were I you.
19
00:00:50,033 --> 00:00:51,899
- Whoa!
- You've been served.
20
00:00:51,900 --> 00:00:54,566
- With a lawsuit?
- One hundred and twenty seven of them.
21
00:00:54,567 --> 00:00:57,032
Wendy was at Krakow
Capital earlier today.
22
00:00:57,033 --> 00:00:58,866
You have an amazing
level of insight
23
00:00:58,867 --> 00:01:01,466
- into how we hedgies think.
- Yes.
24
00:01:01,467 --> 00:01:03,799
I don't mean Axe Capital.
I mean Bobby himself.
25
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,466
- He was looking to hire you?
- Yeah.
26
00:01:06,467 --> 00:01:09,532
That motherfucker is just trying
to poach my most valued...
27
00:01:09,533 --> 00:01:11,265
I'm not your anything.
28
00:01:11,266 --> 00:01:14,199
We handle ourselves and Chuck
gives someone Head of Crim.
29
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,299
Or we cooperate with
Dake and try our luck
30
00:01:16,300 --> 00:01:18,199
starting over with
Chuck's replacement.
31
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:19,466
You know what Rhoades is.
32
00:01:19,467 --> 00:01:21,299
You know he should
be out of the job.
33
00:01:21,300 --> 00:01:22,866
That was the attorney general.
34
00:01:22,867 --> 00:01:24,599
She's summoned me to Washington,
35
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,799
where she will greet me warmly,
36
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,967
and then she'll fire me.
37
00:01:35,033 --> 00:01:38,467
♪ Dramatic music plays ♪
38
00:01:46,500 --> 00:01:48,399
There was a moment in time
39
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,065
when the only two people who
knew what it was to fly
40
00:01:51,066 --> 00:01:53,199
were the Wright Brothers.
41
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,999
And we are like them in a way.
42
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,632
Although we have
to stay airborne
43
00:01:57,633 --> 00:01:59,299
a lot longer than nine seconds,
44
00:01:59,300 --> 00:02:01,733
we and have to go into much
thinner air when we do.
45
00:02:01,734 --> 00:02:05,099
But how do you do it, Todd?
46
00:02:05,100 --> 00:02:07,599
How do you stay aloft?
47
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:12,232
One of the nine poets,
Pindar, said it best.
48
00:02:12,233 --> 00:02:16,265
Become who you are by
learning who you are.
49
00:02:16,266 --> 00:02:19,165
You wouldn't know
Pindar from Pantera,
50
00:02:19,166 --> 00:02:21,532
yet you act like you
read the Harvard shelf
51
00:02:21,533 --> 00:02:22,933
with your morning oatmeal.
52
00:02:22,934 --> 00:02:24,699
Who wrote this shit for you?
53
00:02:24,700 --> 00:02:27,099
Lawrence Boyd, I respect you
54
00:02:27,100 --> 00:02:28,999
more than anyone in this game.
55
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,499
But the idea that Todd Krakow
or anyone else but you here
56
00:02:32,500 --> 00:02:35,299
is a thought leader just
because they've got
57
00:02:35,300 --> 00:02:37,599
a few dollars in their
pocket is laughable!
58
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:38,966
Let me respond.
59
00:02:38,967 --> 00:02:41,165
It's a sad fact of
the business today.
60
00:02:41,166 --> 00:02:44,699
Hedge funds like Axelrod's,
they're out of ideas,
61
00:02:44,700 --> 00:02:45,866
so they cut corners
62
00:02:45,867 --> 00:02:47,799
and go looking for
that black edge.
63
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,299
But I'm good enough
64
00:02:49,300 --> 00:02:51,466
that I didn't have to
get close to the line.
65
00:02:51,467 --> 00:02:52,566
Really?
66
00:02:52,567 --> 00:02:54,566
What about the $45
million in fines
67
00:02:54,567 --> 00:02:55,866
you paid to the U.K.?
68
00:02:55,867 --> 00:02:57,733
That...
69
00:02:57,734 --> 00:02:59,966
No one understands those laws.
70
00:02:59,967 --> 00:03:04,399
Larry, you ever found yourself
afoul of British law?
71
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,332
No, some of us have never run
afoul of any international laws.
72
00:03:08,333 --> 00:03:11,165
Larry, you have teams of
lawyers at Spartan-Ives
73
00:03:11,166 --> 00:03:13,265
and locals in those
countries who ensure
74
00:03:13,266 --> 00:03:15,165
you don't get screwed
the way I did.
75
00:03:15,166 --> 00:03:18,165
Oh, okay, okay, okay, I'm
only the referee here,
76
00:03:18,166 --> 00:03:22,666
not taking sides, but
you overstepped.
77
00:03:22,667 --> 00:03:24,933
Apologies.
78
00:03:24,934 --> 00:03:26,599
And let that be the
first apology,
79
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,132
not the last, to this audience,
80
00:03:28,133 --> 00:03:30,265
who have paid three
grand for the privilege
81
00:03:30,266 --> 00:03:31,799
of hearing your barbaric yawp.
82
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,532
- Axe, Axe, Axe.
- Here's a thought.
83
00:03:33,533 --> 00:03:35,933
If any of you want to
continue the conversation,
84
00:03:35,934 --> 00:03:37,833
I'll be over by the
bar with my team.
85
00:03:37,834 --> 00:03:40,265
Sure... hit, run, and hide, huh?
86
00:03:40,266 --> 00:03:43,766
You been showing the SEC
the same moves for years.
87
00:03:43,767 --> 00:03:46,266
But, eventually, they catch you.
88
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,632
Krakow, whatever
cocktail party tutor
89
00:03:50,633 --> 00:03:52,532
you used to prep
you for this panel
90
00:03:52,533 --> 00:03:54,867
owes you a goddamn refund.
91
00:03:56,233 --> 00:03:58,165
Well, that was stimulating.
92
00:03:58,166 --> 00:03:59,799
Okay, okay, let's move on.
93
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,399
Tag, Global warming...
94
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,799
I called the car
around so you can go.
95
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,599
Why would I leave now?
96
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,733
That's what you get for trying
to steal my fucking employees.
97
00:04:11,734 --> 00:04:14,933
Don't blame me for your fuck-up.
98
00:04:14,934 --> 00:04:17,099
Word of advice, Axe...
99
00:04:17,100 --> 00:04:19,265
You don't want to lose
a valuable asset,
100
00:04:19,266 --> 00:04:23,600
don't let her walk
out the door, huh?
101
00:04:28,700 --> 00:04:30,500
Here comes Boyd.
102
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,432
Sorry about your panel.
103
00:04:38,433 --> 00:04:41,032
Sorry. The only reason you
put Ric Flair in the ring
104
00:04:41,033 --> 00:04:42,766
is to get that heat
from the crowd.
105
00:04:42,767 --> 00:04:44,799
I didn't pick that
panel by accident.
106
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,165
I knew you'd incinerate it.
107
00:04:46,166 --> 00:04:47,833
You just made sure Spartan-Ives
108
00:04:47,834 --> 00:04:50,799
is all the Street's talking about
for the rest of the month.
109
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,499
They'll be killing themselves
they weren't in the room.
110
00:04:53,500 --> 00:04:55,666
And the only way they
get in there next year
111
00:04:55,667 --> 00:04:57,299
is by making you their prime.
112
00:04:57,300 --> 00:05:00,100
I'm the bull, you're the
red sash every time.
113
00:05:04,934 --> 00:05:07,766
Hey, Chuck. Come in.
114
00:05:07,767 --> 00:05:09,733
I drove by Katz's
on the way here.
115
00:05:09,734 --> 00:05:12,265
Oh. You're killing me, man.
116
00:05:12,266 --> 00:05:14,632
No? Well, I'm going in.
117
00:05:14,633 --> 00:05:16,233
Uh-huh.
118
00:05:17,300 --> 00:05:18,966
Oh.
119
00:05:18,967 --> 00:05:20,566
- Mmm!
- Mmm.
120
00:05:20,567 --> 00:05:22,666
Talk to me.
121
00:05:22,667 --> 00:05:25,766
Well, it's thorny. So many
old cases aggregated.
122
00:05:25,767 --> 00:05:27,499
Taken all together,
it looks like
123
00:05:27,500 --> 00:05:29,232
a pattern of
overreach, misconduct.
124
00:05:29,233 --> 00:05:31,733
That's why the papers think
it's such a good story.
125
00:05:31,734 --> 00:05:33,265
And there's the Axelrod case.
126
00:05:33,266 --> 00:05:35,833
- We never even brought charges.
- That's good.
127
00:05:35,834 --> 00:05:37,766
You're protected by
qualified immunity.
128
00:05:37,767 --> 00:05:39,866
Chances are, we get it
thrown out of court.
129
00:05:39,867 --> 00:05:42,532
That will depend on the judge.
We gotta find a very...
130
00:05:42,533 --> 00:05:44,265
Chuck, I'm gonna
make this go away.
131
00:05:44,266 --> 00:05:46,332
That's why you came to
me instead of going
132
00:05:46,333 --> 00:05:48,300
with whatever lawyer
Justice gave you.
133
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,133
Justice isn't defending me.
134
00:05:55,100 --> 00:05:56,432
Whoa.
135
00:05:56,433 --> 00:05:59,132
They only do that when, uh...
136
00:05:59,133 --> 00:06:00,799
Well, they never really do that.
137
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,099
No.
138
00:06:03,100 --> 00:06:04,199
Well, I'm not billing you.
139
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:05,600
Oh, come on. You
gotta bill me, Ira.
140
00:06:05,624 --> 00:06:08,132
It's $1,400 an hour.
141
00:06:08,133 --> 00:06:11,232
Half price. Friends and family.
142
00:06:11,233 --> 00:06:12,734
Why aren't they defending you?
143
00:06:14,133 --> 00:06:18,065
The Attorney General's called
me down to Washington.
144
00:06:18,066 --> 00:06:19,766
She's gonna fire me.
145
00:06:19,767 --> 00:06:21,966
Shit. Dake.
146
00:06:21,967 --> 00:06:24,566
Oh, it's a lot of
things over years.
147
00:06:24,567 --> 00:06:26,399
But the stain of
this investigation
148
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,165
has hobbled me politically.
149
00:06:28,166 --> 00:06:30,232
I got no back channel
out of this.
150
00:06:30,233 --> 00:06:33,299
You gotta prove your loyalty,
then, show her you're a soldier.
151
00:06:33,300 --> 00:06:34,833
Yeah. I thought about that.
152
00:06:34,834 --> 00:06:37,632
A new case the
administration smiles on.
153
00:06:37,633 --> 00:06:39,499
Let the General take
the credit, sure,
154
00:06:39,500 --> 00:06:41,966
but there's just
no fucking time.
155
00:06:41,967 --> 00:06:44,032
The A.G.'s got a lot
of enemies, Chuck.
156
00:06:44,033 --> 00:06:47,032
Take out an enemy... A
big, hard-to-kill one.
157
00:06:47,033 --> 00:06:49,532
It's tough to fire you then.
158
00:06:49,533 --> 00:06:51,933
Finding the right
target might be enough.
159
00:06:51,934 --> 00:06:55,099
One so... gaudy,
160
00:06:55,100 --> 00:06:57,199
so outlandishly
difficult to bring down
161
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,433
that my replacement
would certainly fail.
162
00:07:00,700 --> 00:07:03,065
How much time do you have?
163
00:07:03,066 --> 00:07:04,934
Three days.
164
00:07:11,533 --> 00:07:13,100
Do you know what this is about?
165
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,399
Starting immediately,
you have a new mandate.
166
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,966
Find me a case that's
screaming for justice.
167
00:07:26,967 --> 00:07:29,799
One that no one else would
have the courage to take on...
168
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,232
Even if... no, especially if
169
00:07:33,233 --> 00:07:34,833
it seems impossible to win.
170
00:07:34,834 --> 00:07:35,966
Where do we begin?
171
00:07:35,967 --> 00:07:37,733
I want to kick into
the C-suites...
172
00:07:37,734 --> 00:07:39,232
Those Teflon corporations
173
00:07:39,233 --> 00:07:42,165
that defraud the American
people on a grand scale.
174
00:07:42,166 --> 00:07:44,999
No one was ever prosecuted for
the financial crisis, no.
175
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,299
When we went after Wall Street,
we got what we could get...
176
00:07:48,300 --> 00:07:49,933
Rogue traders, chip shots.
177
00:07:49,934 --> 00:07:52,032
That ends today.
178
00:07:52,033 --> 00:07:54,766
Anything else you can say
that would narrow the target?
179
00:07:54,767 --> 00:07:56,833
You want us to get back
up on Axe Capital?
180
00:07:56,834 --> 00:07:59,265
- Um, we know that they're...
- No, no.
181
00:07:59,266 --> 00:08:01,866
Steer wide around Axe
Capital for now.
182
00:08:01,867 --> 00:08:03,433
That's not gonna help.
183
00:08:05,734 --> 00:08:08,700
Help what?
184
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,099
Be creative.
185
00:08:14,100 --> 00:08:17,567
I look forward to your ideas,
and I want them in 24 hours.
186
00:08:19,233 --> 00:08:22,232
Why's he want an
impossible case?
187
00:08:22,233 --> 00:08:24,933
It's hinky.
188
00:08:24,934 --> 00:08:27,499
I'm gonna steer wide
around all of it.
189
00:08:27,500 --> 00:08:30,099
Hey, Axe, you know
what today is?
190
00:08:30,100 --> 00:08:32,666
It's fuck Todd Krakow
in the ear day.
191
00:08:32,667 --> 00:08:34,766
Why do you think I'd
want to do that?
192
00:08:34,767 --> 00:08:37,132
That panel was Godzilla
versus Mothra.
193
00:08:37,133 --> 00:08:38,799
Do you have a plan?
194
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,399
Or are we just gonna jump
him and break his kneecaps
195
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,065
when he gets out of his McLaren?
196
00:08:43,066 --> 00:08:46,232
Okay, so Krakow's been running
his mouth about China, right?
197
00:08:46,233 --> 00:08:48,299
I... You can tell
the way he talks.
198
00:08:48,300 --> 00:08:51,599
- The way he talks?
- Yeah.
199
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,599
Last year, he said,
"watching factories grow."
200
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,699
It made me wonder,
"How's he seeing this?"
201
00:08:56,700 --> 00:08:59,699
Really, Mafee? You
expect me to believe
202
00:08:59,700 --> 00:09:01,466
you suddenly swapped
Ali G reruns
203
00:09:01,467 --> 00:09:04,199
for videos of Todd Krakow's
speeches on China?
204
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:05,466
Okay.
205
00:09:05,467 --> 00:09:07,232
My analyst caught it.
206
00:09:07,233 --> 00:09:10,367
Yeah. Then get him in here.
207
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:18,866
Hello. I'm Taylor.
208
00:09:18,867 --> 00:09:21,232
My pronouns are they,
theirs, and them.
209
00:09:21,233 --> 00:09:25,232
Okay. You have two minutes.
210
00:09:25,233 --> 00:09:28,265
After your dispute with Krakow,
I presumed roiling antipathy,
211
00:09:28,266 --> 00:09:30,065
so I catalogued all of
his public statements
212
00:09:30,066 --> 00:09:31,666
going back two years.
213
00:09:31,667 --> 00:09:34,632
In January 2016, Krakow's
tone on China changed...
214
00:09:34,633 --> 00:09:36,666
More bullish, omniscient,
215
00:09:36,667 --> 00:09:39,766
which led me to think
satellite images.
216
00:09:39,767 --> 00:09:41,399
So what?
217
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,666
All the big funds are
using satellite images.
218
00:09:43,667 --> 00:09:45,966
How many cars are in the
parking lot at Walmart
219
00:09:45,967 --> 00:09:48,400
indicates how big a quarter
they're gonna have.
220
00:09:53,734 --> 00:09:57,099
But this, let me see.
221
00:09:57,100 --> 00:09:59,599
You found out which satellite
company Krakow uses.
222
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:00,933
AR Metrics.
223
00:10:00,934 --> 00:10:02,933
Assuming Krakow would
be the biggest user...
224
00:10:02,934 --> 00:10:04,532
Their most-viewed images,
225
00:10:04,533 --> 00:10:06,933
and you deduced that's
what he's been looking at.
226
00:10:06,934 --> 00:10:09,265
A microchip factory in
the Pearl River Delta.
227
00:10:09,266 --> 00:10:11,999
And now you know what he knows.
228
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,299
Since you're in my office,
229
00:10:13,300 --> 00:10:14,999
you think you know
what he doesn't.
230
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,699
China's not just
cooking the books,
231
00:10:16,700 --> 00:10:18,866
they're going full Iron
Chef with that shit.
232
00:10:18,867 --> 00:10:21,432
Everyone knows that, Mafee.
Then why is Krakow long?
233
00:10:21,433 --> 00:10:24,265
Come on, time's almost up.
What happened in January 2016?
234
00:10:24,266 --> 00:10:26,432
The Chinese factory went
from totally dormant
235
00:10:26,433 --> 00:10:28,165
to bustling with
trucking activity.
236
00:10:28,166 --> 00:10:30,132
Which meant foreign
investment followed.
237
00:10:30,133 --> 00:10:31,799
But tell me what
really happened.
238
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,999
An article came out
on satellite-detected
239
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,699
discrepancies between
Chinese sites
240
00:10:35,700 --> 00:10:38,299
and what had been reported
by government statistics.
241
00:10:38,300 --> 00:10:40,733
And after that, they knew
they were being watched,
242
00:10:40,734 --> 00:10:43,632
so the trucks started moving...
A show for the satellites.
243
00:10:43,633 --> 00:10:46,632
Factory's a fake. It's a
shell to milk investors.
244
00:10:46,633 --> 00:10:48,733
And what is the next move?
245
00:10:48,734 --> 00:10:50,966
- Short the...
- I asked Taylor.
246
00:10:50,967 --> 00:10:53,466
Short the Chinese parent
company Krakow's invested in.
247
00:10:53,467 --> 00:10:54,866
It's not good enough.
248
00:10:54,867 --> 00:10:57,733
As Chanos says, China's
a pig on LSD...
249
00:10:57,734 --> 00:11:00,632
You never know which
way it's gonna run.
250
00:11:00,633 --> 00:11:04,332
So who is this fake factory
supposed to be supplying?
251
00:11:04,333 --> 00:11:06,399
What does this ripple out into?
252
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,000
You find that, you find
Krakow's real investment.
253
00:11:10,767 --> 00:11:12,466
How long you been here?
254
00:11:12,467 --> 00:11:15,666
Three months.
255
00:11:15,667 --> 00:11:18,933
I'm leaving in two
weeks for grad school.
256
00:11:18,934 --> 00:11:20,133
I'm an intern.
257
00:11:26,533 --> 00:11:28,500
How did everything go?
258
00:11:32,433 --> 00:11:34,466
Salutations, my dear.
259
00:11:34,467 --> 00:11:36,766
Oh. Um...
260
00:11:36,767 --> 00:11:38,799
I think Chuck's working tonight.
261
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,332
I wanted to talk to you.
262
00:11:41,333 --> 00:11:42,667
Pas devant.
263
00:11:44,734 --> 00:11:46,567
We'll see you tomorrow.
264
00:11:48,467 --> 00:11:50,633
I know what pas devant means.
265
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,499
I was looking for some
cufflinks I lent my son,
266
00:11:57,500 --> 00:11:59,966
but I couldn't find
them in the bedroom.
267
00:11:59,967 --> 00:12:02,232
You were in my bedroom?
268
00:12:02,233 --> 00:12:05,566
And most of Chuck's suits seem
to be gone from the closet.
269
00:12:05,567 --> 00:12:07,966
You didn't come out to
Brooklyn for cufflinks.
270
00:12:07,967 --> 00:12:10,600
Is Chuck living
at the Yale Club?
271
00:12:12,633 --> 00:12:14,799
Some gal in
accounting messed up,
272
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:19,532
sent me a charge for a breakfast
on a day that I was not there.
273
00:12:19,533 --> 00:12:21,132
So I asked for the chits,
274
00:12:21,133 --> 00:12:24,432
and it was Chuck's signature
on the line at 6:30 a.m.
275
00:12:24,433 --> 00:12:28,099
Yes, we've separated... for now.
276
00:12:28,100 --> 00:12:31,833
And you've kept it from me.
277
00:12:31,834 --> 00:12:34,799
I asked Chuck directly,
but he denied it.
278
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,934
He lies better than I do.
279
00:12:38,433 --> 00:12:40,000
This is idiocy.
280
00:12:41,834 --> 00:12:44,265
And to think we didn't come
running to you with the news.
281
00:12:44,266 --> 00:12:45,933
Because I would
tell you the truth.
282
00:12:45,934 --> 00:12:48,466
This is selfish,
283
00:12:48,467 --> 00:12:50,032
destructive to your children.
284
00:12:50,033 --> 00:12:51,466
We're not uprooting the kids.
285
00:12:51,467 --> 00:12:52,966
They're staying in the house.
286
00:12:52,967 --> 00:12:54,966
Chuck spends three
nights a week with them.
287
00:12:54,967 --> 00:12:56,532
No, I'm not talking about that.
288
00:12:56,533 --> 00:12:58,132
I'm talking about their legacy.
289
00:12:58,133 --> 00:13:01,332
Do you think that this makes
it easier or harder...
290
00:13:01,333 --> 00:13:03,666
for Kevin to meet his
station in life?
291
00:13:03,667 --> 00:13:06,966
You must mean for
him to be happier.
292
00:13:06,967 --> 00:13:09,065
They are the future of my name.
293
00:13:09,066 --> 00:13:10,332
And yours.
294
00:13:10,333 --> 00:13:12,566
You think you and Chuck
are the only ones
295
00:13:12,567 --> 00:13:15,966
who've grappled with some
upheavals in a marriage?
296
00:13:15,967 --> 00:13:20,733
Unless it is broken
plates and steak knives,
297
00:13:20,734 --> 00:13:23,332
you gut through it.
298
00:13:23,333 --> 00:13:26,132
If one of you has an itch,
you'll work it out.
299
00:13:26,133 --> 00:13:27,366
You don't move out.
300
00:13:27,367 --> 00:13:28,767
It wasn't an itch.
301
00:13:30,433 --> 00:13:32,699
And what about you?
302
00:13:32,700 --> 00:13:35,532
You'd really rather have
your three nights a week
303
00:13:35,533 --> 00:13:39,100
than be First Lady of
the State of New York?
304
00:13:41,633 --> 00:13:44,599
Maybe I would.
305
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,599
And if you want
to continue this,
306
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,433
do it with your son.
307
00:13:50,467 --> 00:13:54,300
Oh... I will.
308
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,833
Bobby. Your order's there.
309
00:13:58,834 --> 00:14:00,199
White clam is on top.
310
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:01,166
Thanks, Bruno.
311
00:14:01,167 --> 00:14:03,132
Say hello to my nephew, Marco.
312
00:14:03,133 --> 00:14:04,466
Kid just got elected
313
00:14:04,467 --> 00:14:06,132
to county executive
up in Sandicot.
314
00:14:06,133 --> 00:14:08,299
I'm Marc. An honor to meet you, Mr.
Axelrod.
315
00:14:08,300 --> 00:14:09,667
Sit down, have some wine.
316
00:14:11,066 --> 00:14:12,099
Is this yours?
317
00:14:12,100 --> 00:14:14,066
Made it with my own two feet.
318
00:14:16,066 --> 00:14:17,265
Eh?
319
00:14:17,266 --> 00:14:19,232
Hey, look, I'll stay next time.
320
00:14:19,233 --> 00:14:20,799
- Kids are hungry.
- Okay.
321
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,265
Ciao, Bobby. Enjoy.
322
00:14:22,266 --> 00:14:24,733
Good to meet you.
323
00:14:24,734 --> 00:14:26,999
That's a busy man.
324
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,366
Yeah.
325
00:14:28,367 --> 00:14:31,367
There'll be time.
There'll be time.
326
00:14:34,333 --> 00:14:38,666
- You told my father.
- I didn't tell him.
327
00:14:38,667 --> 00:14:40,366
He's like you. He
figured it out.
328
00:14:40,367 --> 00:14:43,432
No, he had a theory,
which you confirmed.
329
00:14:43,433 --> 00:14:45,933
- He's hounding me now.
- What about these lawsuits?
330
00:14:45,934 --> 00:14:47,599
Were you gonna tell
me about them?
331
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,766
Why did I have to read
about it in the Times?
332
00:14:49,767 --> 00:14:51,632
Nuisance suits.
Minor distraction.
333
00:14:51,633 --> 00:14:52,933
Didn't rate a discussion.
334
00:14:52,934 --> 00:14:54,599
This investigator...
Oliver Dake.
335
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,199
Yeah, well, I told
you about him.
336
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,600
He's questioning me later.
337
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,734
Please, come in.
338
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,966
So, Chuck...
339
00:15:11,967 --> 00:15:16,799
do you still feel as if
you're under attack...
340
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,734
by unseen forces?
341
00:15:25,266 --> 00:15:28,467
Carolyn, can we have the
room for five minutes?
342
00:15:33,433 --> 00:15:35,466
Look, I don't know
what to say to him.
343
00:15:35,467 --> 00:15:37,466
He knows you dropped the case.
344
00:15:37,467 --> 00:15:39,499
He thinks it's connected to me.
345
00:15:39,500 --> 00:15:41,866
If he puts together
the session notes...
346
00:15:41,867 --> 00:15:43,966
That will be a
career-ender for me.
347
00:15:43,967 --> 00:15:46,667
I'm aware.
348
00:15:48,433 --> 00:15:51,199
You're the expert on
this sort of thing.
349
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,599
How should I spin
it, what kind of...
350
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:54,933
language should I use?
351

separated...

- That's been established.
- Has it?
392
00:18:18,467 --> 00:18:21,032
Or did the two of you
work in a separation
393
00:18:21,033 --> 00:18:23,165
to make Axelrod's
payment more palatable?
394

They're not connected.

How long after the payment
396
00:18:27,934 --> 00:18:29,833
did you end your
employment at Axe Capital?
397
00:18:29,834 --> 00:18:31,466
The same day.
398
00:18:31,467 --> 00:18:33,733
What an eventful day.
399
00:18:33,734 --> 00:18:36,899
How would Axelrod
characterize the payment?
400
00:18:36,900 --> 00:18:38,899
It was compensation.
401
00:18:38,900 --> 00:18:41,132
A bonus for services rendered,
402
00:18:41,133 --> 00:18:43,899
a very complex session
for Axe himself.
403
00:18:43,900 --> 00:18:46,766
What did you talk about?
404
00:18:46,767 --> 00:18:49,332
I'm a medical doctor,
405
00:18:49,333 --> 00:18:51,899
and that's privileged
information, as you well know.
406
00:18:51,900 --> 00:18:54,232
So if you're trying to
trip me up, try harder.
407
00:18:54,233 --> 00:18:56,666
You can come back with a
court order, lock me up,
408
00:18:56,667 --> 00:18:58,032
and I'd still never tell you
409
00:18:58,033 --> 00:18:59,833
a goddamn thing
about my patients.
410
00:18:59,834 --> 00:19:02,466
I just wonder what could have
been said in such a session
411
00:19:02,467 --> 00:19:04,065
to justify such an enormous sum.
412
00:19:04,066 --> 00:19:06,733
It was commensurate with other
bonuses at Axe Capital.
413
00:19:06,734 --> 00:19:08,966
So five million dollars
is not a large bonus?
414

Rhoades.

00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,999
Hey, you get me started,
I'll admit I'm suspicious
528
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,299
that not all prize fights
are on the up and up,
529
00:24:37,300 --> 00:24:38,999
that Warren Buffett
and Bill Gates
530
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,099
may not really like each
other as much as they claim.
531
00:24:42,100 --> 00:24:43,933
I'm even suspicious that maybe
532
00:24:43,934 --> 00:24:46,632
you don't really need
those glasses to see.
533
00:24:46,633 --> 00:24:49,132
I do.
534
00:24:49,133 --> 00:24:51,966
I think you see pretty clearly.
535
00:24:51,967 --> 00:24:55,132
But those are all the suspicions
that I'm prepared to share
536
00:24:55,133 --> 00:24:57,632
with you today in your
professional capacity.
537
00:24:57,633 --> 00:24:59,766
Were you aware that the U.S.
attorney
538
00:24:59,767 --> 00:25:01,432
was pursuing charges against you
539
00:25:01,433 --> 00:25:03,799
in connection with a
firearms disturbance
540
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,834
by one of your employees?
541
00:25:07,633 --> 00:25:08,966
Yeah.
542
00:25:08,967 --> 00:25:11,132
Mr. Axelrod finds the
question irrelevant.
543
00:25:11,133 --> 00:25:12,733
Consider him aware now.
544
00:25:12,734 --> 00:25:14,499
The same day the U.S. attorney
545
00:25:14,500 --> 00:25:16,899
ended the pursuit
of said charges,
546
00:25:16,900 --> 00:25:19,099
his wife received a five
million dollar payment
547
00:25:19,100 --> 00:25:20,165
from this company.
548
00:25:20,166 --> 00:25:21,733
Highly irregular.
549
00:25:21,734 --> 00:25:23,933
In your world. Not in this one.
550
00:25:23,934 --> 00:25:27,099
I don't think a judge or jury is
likely to discount the linkage.
551
00:25:27,100 --> 00:25:30,733
My client allowed you
here as a courtesy.
552
00:25:30,734 --> 00:25:34,332
No one at Axe Capital
works under a contract.
553
00:25:34,333 --> 00:25:37,132
Each are compensated at my
client's sole discretion
554
00:25:37,133 --> 00:25:39,099
based on their
value to the firm.
555
00:25:39,100 --> 00:25:42,432
I think you misunderstand
my intentions, Mr. Bach.
556
00:25:42,433 --> 00:25:46,999
The DoJ has authorized me
to offer the whole menu.
557
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,966
We would be willing to give Mr.
Axelrod
558
00:25:49,967 --> 00:25:52,432
immunity from prosecution...
559
00:25:52,433 --> 00:25:55,265
if he were to testify that
the five million dollars
560
00:25:55,266 --> 00:25:59,366
was, in fact, a bribe of the U.S.
attorney.
561
00:25:59,367 --> 00:26:03,366
After all, uh, hedge funds
will do what they do,
562
00:26:03,367 --> 00:26:06,432
but Mr. Rhoades answers
to a higher authority...
563
00:26:06,433 --> 00:26:07,566
Justice.
564
00:26:07,567 --> 00:26:10,566
Cue the orchestra.
565
00:26:10,567 --> 00:26:13,567
You'll hear from us.
566
00:26:24,166 --> 00:26:26,566
Lay it out.
567
00:26:26,567 --> 00:26:30,099
If you take the deal,
claim it was a bribe,
568
00:26:30,100 --> 00:26:32,466
your reputation may
take a hit, but...
569
00:26:32,467 --> 00:26:35,933
it would be the end
of Chuck Rhoades.
570
00:26:35,934 --> 00:26:38,966
Because although I know
it wasn't a bribe,
571
00:26:38,967 --> 00:26:41,899
the facts line up.
572
00:26:41,900 --> 00:26:43,332
He would be disgraced.
573
00:26:43,333 --> 00:26:47,099
Removed from office, indicted.
574
00:26:47,100 --> 00:26:49,300
But Wendy Rhoades would
be indicted, too.
575
00:26:58,500 --> 00:26:59,833
Indonesian?
576
00:26:59,834 --> 00:27:01,199
Oh.
577
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:02,599
Oh, God, yeah.
578
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,966
You obviously heard my
stomach's cries for help.
579
00:27:04,967 --> 00:27:06,366
Thank you. Mmm.
580
00:27:06,367 --> 00:27:07,899
So how's it going?
581
00:27:07,900 --> 00:27:09,899
You coming up with
anything for the big case?
582
00:27:09,900 --> 00:27:12,866
Nah, not yet.
583
00:27:12,867 --> 00:27:15,666
Maybe we should
pool our resources.
584
00:27:15,667 --> 00:27:17,332
I have a few things.
585
00:27:17,333 --> 00:27:19,733
They might sound better
coming from you.
586
00:27:19,734 --> 00:27:24,433
No, I... I think they'll
sound great coming from you.
587
00:27:26,767 --> 00:27:28,432
Look, I know what
you're thinking.
588
00:27:28,433 --> 00:27:29,799
We're all thinking it.
589
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:31,399
There's obviously
more going on here,
590
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:32,999
and none of us
want to get caught
591
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:34,432
in another Chuck Rhoades web.
592
00:27:34,433 --> 00:27:36,099
No idea what you're
talking about.
593
00:27:36,100 --> 00:27:37,566
Here's how I see it, though.
594
00:27:37,567 --> 00:27:39,566
Whoever comes up with
this impossible case
595
00:27:39,567 --> 00:27:41,165
is in the lead for Head of Crim.
596
00:27:41,166 --> 00:27:43,966
Counterpoint... whoever comes
up with this impossible case
597
00:27:43,967 --> 00:27:46,432
is then going to have to
win said impossible case.
598
00:27:46,433 --> 00:27:48,666
And then if they
don't, they're fucked.
599
00:27:48,667 --> 00:27:51,132
That's what Connerty thinks.
600
00:27:51,133 --> 00:27:53,265
And that's why I'm
not in his office.
601
00:27:53,266 --> 00:27:54,699
Is that what Connerty thinks,
602
00:27:54,700 --> 00:27:58,099
or is that what he
wants you to think?
603
00:27:58,100 --> 00:28:00,432
I'm hearing that
multiple former AUSAs
604
00:28:00,433 --> 00:28:02,566
are gonna come
forward against you.
605
00:28:02,567 --> 00:28:04,232
Fuck. Who?
606
00:28:04,233 --> 00:28:05,432
No names yet.
607
00:28:05,433 --> 00:28:07,532
The claim is that you
were capricious,
608
00:28:07,533 --> 00:28:10,065
that, uh, you expected
them to use intimidation
609
00:28:10,066 --> 00:28:11,199
to get settlements.
610
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:12,599
Oh, bullshit.
611
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,366
Well, this gives the case teeth.
612
00:28:14,367 --> 00:28:16,899
There's no way a judge is
gonna throw it out now.
613
00:28:16,900 --> 00:28:18,766
As your lawyer, I
gotta advise you
614
00:28:18,767 --> 00:28:20,699
to consider the idea
of a settlement.
615
00:28:20,700 --> 00:28:23,065
No. I won't settle.
616
00:28:23,066 --> 00:28:24,733
Can't.
617
00:28:24,734 --> 00:28:27,065
No, any appearance of guilt
puts everything at risk.
618
00:28:27,066 --> 00:28:29,265
Every conviction my
office has ever made
619
00:28:29,266 --> 00:28:30,733
would be in question. No.
620
00:28:30,734 --> 00:28:32,933
Well, you can't afford
to think in absolutes.
621
00:28:32,934 --> 00:28:35,065
I'm gonna fight this
all the way to a trial
622
00:28:35,066 --> 00:28:36,066
if it comes to it.
623
00:28:36,067 --> 00:28:37,666
Buddy, you gotta understand.
624
00:28:37,667 --> 00:28:40,632
One hundred and twenty seven
cases, if you're found liable
625
00:28:40,633 --> 00:28:43,099
even for a portion of them,
it could bankrupt you.
626
00:28:43,100 --> 00:28:44,432
So if this gets sticky,
627
00:28:44,433 --> 00:28:47,599
how big is your trust,
how bulletproof is it?
628
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,399
You might... You
might want to think
629
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:50,999
about going offshore with it.
No.
630
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,165
It's a blind trust, and
I made a public vow.
631
00:28:53,166 --> 00:28:55,165
I can't touch the
money or direct it
632
00:28:55,166 --> 00:28:56,632
as long as I'm in office.
633
00:28:56,633 --> 00:28:58,967
Well, there's one good
thing about getting fired.
634
00:29:01,367 --> 00:29:04,265
Boy, it's much better
to be the lawyer...
635
00:29:04,266 --> 00:29:07,032
and go home when the
hour's up, get some sleep.
636
00:29:07,033 --> 00:29:09,066
If you're the client,
you're up all night.
637
00:29:12,367 --> 00:29:14,199
Aha, ah.
638
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,366
I was wondering why we
were at a four-top.
639
00:29:16,367 --> 00:29:17,866
Taiga. I met her at SoulCycle.
640
00:29:17,867 --> 00:29:19,532
She brought a friend
for you, too.
641
00:29:19,533 --> 00:29:21,599
No, no, I told you.
Just give it a chance.
642
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,032
She's great. She's an artist.
643
00:29:23,033 --> 00:29:25,532
She's got a new show
in Soho, in Queens.
644
00:29:25,533 --> 00:29:27,432
Actually Hoboken. Whatever.
She's cool.
645
00:29:27,433 --> 00:29:30,733
Hey, babe. Hi.
646
00:29:30,734 --> 00:29:32,733
Hi. Nice to meet you.
647
00:29:32,734 --> 00:29:33,966
Hi. Ira. Nicole.
648
00:29:33,967 --> 00:29:34,967
- Charmed.
- Taiga.
649
00:29:34,968 --> 00:29:36,632
Nice to meet you.
650
00:29:36,633 --> 00:29:38,933
So you have to try
the Green Dream.
651
00:29:38,934 --> 00:29:41,632
The mixologist here makes
them with Ice Juice.
652
00:29:41,633 --> 00:29:44,232
It's this new cold-pressed
raw juice bar.
653
00:29:44,233 --> 00:29:46,899
It's literally the best
thing in the world.
654
00:29:46,900 --> 00:29:49,466
The guy who owns that company
is a client of mine.
655
00:29:49,467 --> 00:29:51,467
I'll slide you guys
some gift cards.
656
00:29:54,066 --> 00:29:56,399
Anata-Tek had a brutal
sell-off after hours.
657
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,065
We covered. Short it again.
658
00:29:58,066 --> 00:30:01,132
If it cracked this much from
just a tweet, they're terrified.
659
00:30:01,133 --> 00:30:03,599
We can break the rest of
it if we throw a rock.
660
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:04,600
Okay.
661
00:30:04,601 --> 00:30:05,881
And wait for the
dead-cat bounce.
662
00:30:05,905 --> 00:30:07,899
As soon as the stock's
up one percent,
663
00:30:07,900 --> 00:30:09,265
start whacking bids again.
664
00:30:09,266 --> 00:30:11,466
It'll dump, maybe by half.
665
00:30:11,467 --> 00:30:13,000
All right.
666
00:30:14,867 --> 00:30:17,266
Where's Wags?
667
00:30:22,467 --> 00:30:23,467
He's here.
668
00:30:32,700 --> 00:30:35,432
Continue. I want
Wags to hear this.
669
00:30:35,433 --> 00:30:38,499
The Krakow play, your
hostility toward him,
670
00:30:38,500 --> 00:30:40,065
what's really animating it?
671
00:30:40,066 --> 00:30:41,699
Is it coloring your strategy?
672
00:30:41,700 --> 00:30:43,466
Perhaps if you show restraint...
673
00:30:43,467 --> 00:30:45,466
Restraint? Take a good
look at the floor,
674
00:30:45,467 --> 00:30:48,632
because you don't know where the
fuck you're standing right now.
675
00:30:48,633 --> 00:30:50,733
- It's in my purview...
- You are here
676
00:30:50,734 --> 00:30:53,399
to keep the Visigoths
outside of the city walls,
677
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,399
not to impugn judgment
of the Caesar.
678
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,632
No, it's a smart question.
679
00:30:58,633 --> 00:31:00,866
Krakow knows your
personal animus.
680
00:31:00,867 --> 00:31:03,933
He could be counting on a certain
hasty economic response.
681
00:31:03,934 --> 00:31:05,066
It could be a trap.
682
00:31:09,867 --> 00:31:11,599
Inform Mafee.
683
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,133
Hold on Anata-Tek until we've
heard from Dollar Bill.
684
00:31:23,667 --> 00:31:25,099
I usually depend on you
685
00:31:25,100 --> 00:31:27,366
to know what's in
my heart, Wags.
686
00:31:27,367 --> 00:31:28,266
You okay?
687
00:31:28,267 --> 00:31:30,165
Never better.
688
00:31:30,166 --> 00:31:32,699
Good, 'cause there's
something I need you on.
689
00:31:32,700 --> 00:31:34,466
I need to diversify.
690
00:31:34,467 --> 00:31:37,466
I'm not talking
about portfolios.
691
00:31:37,467 --> 00:31:40,432
I want to make a fundamental
change in our standing.
692
00:31:40,433 --> 00:31:43,299
We can't live inside those
city walls forever.
693
00:31:43,300 --> 00:31:45,966
Change is coming.
694
00:31:45,967 --> 00:31:47,833
Stay ahead of it.
695
00:31:47,834 --> 00:31:50,800
Start looking.
696
00:31:52,734 --> 00:31:57,299
I can't help feeling these
ideas are uninspired.
697
00:31:57,300 --> 00:31:59,967
What else do you have?
698
00:32:02,734 --> 00:32:05,399
We go after tech companies,
the media darlings,
699
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:06,933
the "don't be evil" crowd.
700
00:32:06,934 --> 00:32:09,165
They're hypocrites, dodging
billions in taxes.
701
00:32:09,166 --> 00:32:12,232
No. Think smarter, bigger.
702
00:32:12,233 --> 00:32:14,733
I need a narrative,
victims and villains.
703
00:32:14,734 --> 00:32:16,999
What if we went
after Spartan-Ives?
704
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:18,766
That's as big as it gets.
705
00:32:18,767 --> 00:32:20,466
No, thank you.
706
00:32:20,467 --> 00:32:23,466
That place is a finishing school
for treasury secretaries.
707
00:32:23,467 --> 00:32:25,799
And we muck in there
and step wrong,
708
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:29,599
we'll all be shaking cups
outside of the Bar Association.
709
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:33,633
He's right. That's exactly the
opposite of what we need.
710
00:32:37,166 --> 00:32:40,766
Look, I get it. I get it.
711
00:32:40,767 --> 00:32:44,866
We've all been bred in a
culture of perfection.
712
00:32:44,867 --> 00:32:46,999
Valedictorian, Phi Beta Kappa,
713
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,999
Head of Crim.
714
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,165
You ever get a "B," Kate?
715
00:32:53,166 --> 00:32:56,499
Third grade, in Art.
716
00:32:56,500 --> 00:32:58,966
- I did extra credit, got it up.
- Yeah.
717
00:32:58,967 --> 00:33:03,132
Nobody wants to gamble on
this, get yoked to a loser.
718
00:33:03,133 --> 00:33:05,599
But you need to understand
it is not a gamble,
719
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,165
it is a calculated risk.
720
00:33:08,166 --> 00:33:12,733
So go naked into the street
721
00:33:12,734 --> 00:33:17,100
and snare me a thundering,
monumental fucking case...
722
00:33:18,767 --> 00:33:21,265
because none of you are
gonna get what you want
723
00:33:21,266 --> 00:33:24,000
until you cut yourselves open.
724
00:33:42,266 --> 00:33:45,332
What's going on, Bryan?
725
00:33:45,333 --> 00:33:48,165
I think we're doing our best
with what we've been given.
726
00:33:48,166 --> 00:33:51,199
Well, seems to me
you're a step slow.
727
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,332
It's a big challenge,
728
00:33:53,333 --> 00:33:55,132
an expansion of our
moral mission.
729
00:33:55,133 --> 00:33:56,799
Normally, I'd expect you'd tear
730
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:58,532
into a piece of red
meat like that.
731
00:33:58,533 --> 00:33:59,799
It just takes time.
732
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:01,799
I'll have something by tomorrow.
733
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,000
By end of day today.
734
00:34:09,233 --> 00:34:12,567
Right. You're in D.C. tomorrow.
735
00:34:19,633 --> 00:34:21,232
Hey.
736
00:34:21,233 --> 00:34:23,766
If you don't want to work
together on this thing, great.
737
00:34:23,767 --> 00:34:26,065
Do not steamroll my
idea before I...
738
00:34:26,066 --> 00:34:28,166
That was me doing you a favor.
739
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:36,299
The Spartan idea was a loser
740
00:34:36,300 --> 00:34:38,099
because of what
Chuck's not saying.
741
00:34:38,100 --> 00:34:39,699
I'm listening.
742
00:34:39,700 --> 00:34:43,299
Spartan-Ives is a friend
to the administration.
743
00:34:43,300 --> 00:34:47,165
Lawrence Boyd and the A.G. went
to fucking Horace Mann together.
744
00:34:47,166 --> 00:34:49,799
- So what Chuck's looking for...
- Is an enemy.
745
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:51,299
He wants to bring him a trophy.
746
00:34:51,300 --> 00:34:54,632
I've got one.
747
00:34:54,633 --> 00:34:57,699
Executive e-mails leaked
by a whistle-blower.
748
00:34:57,700 --> 00:35:00,400
This is the case that
he's looking for.
749
00:35:06,233 --> 00:35:08,600
Well, why don't you give
it to Chuck yourself?
750
00:35:10,066 --> 00:35:12,065
Might sound better
coming from you.
751
00:35:12,066 --> 00:35:14,399
Hmm. Well, you really do think
752
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,232
that finding the best
case would be a trap.
753
00:35:17,233 --> 00:35:19,566
But if you're wrong, you
don't want to risk.
754
00:35:19,567 --> 00:35:21,933
Connerty bringing it in
and getting the credit.
755
00:35:21,934 --> 00:35:25,399
Maybe.
756
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:29,132
But this could be very good...
for you.
757
00:35:29,133 --> 00:35:33,833
Or very bad.
758
00:35:33,834 --> 00:35:35,833
I don't care.
759
00:35:35,834 --> 00:35:37,265
I'll give it to Chuck anyway
760
00:35:37,266 --> 00:35:39,099
because it's the
right thing to do.
761
00:35:39,100 --> 00:35:41,799
It's what Chuck wants.
762
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:43,433
It doesn't make it right.
763
00:35:45,266 --> 00:35:50,266
♪ Rock music plays ♪
764
00:35:52,266 --> 00:35:54,266
All right, let's take a break.
765
00:35:55,967 --> 00:35:58,532
You know, I've been thinking
about what you said.
766
00:35:58,533 --> 00:36:01,032
About your next chapter.
767
00:36:01,033 --> 00:36:03,866
I think we should start something...
a business.
768
00:36:03,867 --> 00:36:06,399
Interesting.
769
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:07,766
What did you have in mind?
770
00:36:07,767 --> 00:36:09,499
I don't know.
771
00:36:09,500 --> 00:36:12,233
It should be unique, you know,
something that fits us.
772
00:36:15,633 --> 00:36:18,799
Nothing in the warehouse,
nothing in the truck.
773
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:20,232
It's a quiet racket.
774
00:36:20,233 --> 00:36:22,299
I can get you more
dirt if you need it.
775
00:36:22,300 --> 00:36:24,733
Whole Chinese economy
works like this.
776
00:36:24,734 --> 00:36:26,666
So my guy likes to
get his beak wet...
777
00:36:26,667 --> 00:36:28,733
Let's stay on point.
778
00:36:28,734 --> 00:36:31,666
Anata-Tek is a company
with no tech.
779
00:36:31,667 --> 00:36:33,899
Just as Taylor anticipated.
780
00:36:33,900 --> 00:36:36,399
She spotted that
from outer space?
781
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,467
Not she. They.
782
00:36:45,533 --> 00:36:49,767
Get it hard, keep
it hard, use it!
783
00:36:52,300 --> 00:36:55,032
He hasn't fucked his
woman in six months.
784
00:36:55,033 --> 00:36:57,699
Should you... be sharing that?
785
00:36:57,700 --> 00:36:59,366
Not in the "should" game.
786
00:36:59,367 --> 00:37:01,799
Welcome aboard, Gus. Thanks.
787
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,299
I know it was your plug
that got this done for me,
788
00:37:04,300 --> 00:37:06,466
and I have an elephant
dick of a memory.
789
00:37:06,467 --> 00:37:08,366
So when are you coming
in for a session?
790
00:37:08,367 --> 00:37:09,966
You want to go now?
791
00:37:09,967 --> 00:37:12,466
I'm not under the same
mandate as the other staff.
792
00:37:12,467 --> 00:37:14,899
You sure?
793
00:37:14,900 --> 00:37:16,899
Lot of changes around here.
794
00:37:16,900 --> 00:37:18,099
More out there.
795
00:37:18,100 --> 00:37:19,399
It'll hit ya.
796
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,399
Guys like you and me,
we're getting older.
797
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:22,899
We got to fight for every scrap
798
00:37:22,900 --> 00:37:24,466
of what used to
be ours by right.
799
00:37:24,467 --> 00:37:27,632
No.
800
00:37:27,633 --> 00:37:29,132
Then let me buy you a steak.
801
00:37:29,133 --> 00:37:30,900
Not necessary.
802
00:37:34,633 --> 00:37:37,734
Omakase menu at Nakazowa.
803
00:37:40,233 --> 00:37:41,632
You are good.
804
00:37:41,633 --> 00:37:43,999
Have you talked to the
source of the e-mails?
805
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:45,232
An hour ago.
806
00:37:45,233 --> 00:37:46,933
Said it's even worse
than what's there.
807
00:37:46,934 --> 00:37:48,933
CEO Kurt Williams knew about it,
808
00:37:48,934 --> 00:37:51,599
could have stopped it,
directed it to continue.
809
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,599
Well, that'll be
he said, she said.
810
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:57,599
Now, this case is far
from showroom ready,
811
00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:58,933
but it's a real start.
812
00:37:58,934 --> 00:38:00,866
- Subpoena the company documents.
- Right away.
813
00:38:00,867 --> 00:38:03,734
Ace work.
814
00:38:05,533 --> 00:38:08,099
Mr. Rhoades, if you're looking
for a good whiskey bar
815
00:38:08,100 --> 00:38:09,899
near the A.G.'s
office, I got one.
816
00:38:09,900 --> 00:38:12,032
Opens early. Not necessary.
817
00:38:12,033 --> 00:38:14,532
I just need you to loop me
in with the new deputy.
818
00:38:14,533 --> 00:38:16,566
I will happily connect
you to Fred Reyes.
819
00:38:16,567 --> 00:38:17,567
That would mean...
820
00:38:17,568 --> 00:38:18,899
That I have something
821
00:38:18,900 --> 00:38:20,432
the General would
want to hear about.
822
00:38:20,433 --> 00:38:22,099
That my part in this is done.
823
00:38:22,100 --> 00:38:25,632
Don't worry. Reyes knows
who juiced him in.
824
00:38:25,633 --> 00:38:27,265
Adam.
825
00:38:27,266 --> 00:38:29,165
Fred, I got Chuck
Rhoades on the line.
826
00:38:29,166 --> 00:38:31,265
Chuck.
827
00:38:31,266 --> 00:38:34,065
Thanks for the good word. I
appreciate you putting me up.
828
00:38:34,066 --> 00:38:35,499
Well, I'm looking forward
829
00:38:35,500 --> 00:38:37,466
to a harmonious
relationship going forward.
830
00:38:37,467 --> 00:38:39,566
- Chuck, about tomorrow, it...
- No worries.
831
00:38:39,567 --> 00:38:42,065
I just want to make sure
that the A.G. knows
832
00:38:42,066 --> 00:38:46,065
that I'm preparing an action
against retail giant GoodStop.
833
00:38:46,066 --> 00:38:47,332
They've bilked employees
834
00:38:47,333 --> 00:38:48,933
out of millions in
unpaid overtime
835
00:38:48,934 --> 00:38:51,299
and engaged in a cover-up
at the highest level.
836
00:38:51,300 --> 00:38:53,566
- And you can prove that?
- Evidence in hand.
837
00:38:53,567 --> 00:38:54,999
It's early stages,
838
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,866
but, uh, Kurt Williams is
swimming in a dirty pool.
839
00:38:57,867 --> 00:39:00,499
The same Kurt Williams
anonymously funding
840
00:39:00,500 --> 00:39:02,866
a super PAC ripping
her a new asshole?
841
00:39:02,867 --> 00:39:05,466
Well, that's an incredible
coincidence, Chuck.
842
00:39:05,467 --> 00:39:07,966
The A.G.'s wanted to take
them down for years.
843
00:39:07,967 --> 00:39:09,432
Let me sell her on it.
844
00:39:09,433 --> 00:39:11,899
I think she's gonna let
you bring it home.
845
00:39:11,900 --> 00:39:14,467
Much appreciated.
846
00:39:16,233 --> 00:39:18,132
Anata-Tek is bleeding out.
847
00:39:18,133 --> 00:39:21,366
Lost half its value.
Krakow fired the CEO.
848
00:39:21,367 --> 00:39:22,933
Do you want to make a statement?
849
00:39:22,934 --> 00:39:25,366
No. I've said enough.
850
00:39:25,367 --> 00:39:27,899

rooting this out.

turned down a job here.

00:40:32,266 --> 00:40:34,000
It's an abstraction?
877
00:40:35,834 --> 00:40:39,299
I don't know if you
can understand...
878
00:40:39,300 --> 00:40:40,999
maybe me being the way I am,
879
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:45,566
but just breathing the air
here can be discomforting.
880
00:40:45,567 --> 00:40:48,800
The air is thinner.
881
00:40:52,667 --> 00:40:54,299
Nah.
882
00:40:54,300 --> 00:40:55,966
You don't belong here.
883
00:40:55,967 --> 00:40:58,499
You're outside it all.
884
00:40:58,500 --> 00:41:02,265
Sometimes you catch yourself
watching all the people
885
00:41:02,266 --> 00:41:04,099
like they're another species.
886
00:41:04,100 --> 00:41:06,265
So you retreat...
887
00:41:06,266 --> 00:41:10,833
behind your aquarium
walls, watching.
888
00:41:10,834 --> 00:41:12,666
But you don't realize, Taylor,
889
00:41:12,667 --> 00:41:17,432
that glass, it's not a
barrier, it's a lens.
890
00:41:17,433 --> 00:41:21,165
It's an asset. It's
what makes you good.
891
00:41:21,166 --> 00:41:24,132
You see things differently.
892
00:41:24,133 --> 00:41:25,166
That's an edge.
893
00:41:27,033 --> 00:41:28,599
What about a week-to-week deal?
894
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,132
Done. We'll prorate the million.
895
00:41:30,133 --> 00:41:32,265
Nineteen thousand...
896
00:41:32,266 --> 00:41:34,099
Nineteen thousand, two hundred and
thirty and seventy-seven cents..
897
00:41:34,100 --> 00:41:35,466
Hourly, $240.38.
898
00:41:35,467 --> 00:41:37,307
One hundred and fourteen
and forty-seven cents.
899
00:41:37,331 --> 00:41:38,165
Eighty hours a week?
900
00:41:38,166 --> 00:41:39,999
There's 168 hours in a week.
901
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,599
That's what you're paying for...
Everything.
902
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:44,300
Twenty-four seven.
903
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:48,799
All right, Wags,
call me tomorrow,
904
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:50,633
and I'll give you the rest.
905
00:41:52,133 --> 00:41:53,699
I think I just found the thing.
906
00:41:53,700 --> 00:41:55,899
- How do you feel about football?
- Which team?
907
00:41:55,900 --> 00:41:58,399
Not sure yet, but a franchise
is talking to bankers
908
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:00,065
about putting itself
on the block.
909
00:42:00,066 --> 00:42:01,899
Good. Go further.
910
00:42:01,900 --> 00:42:03,767
Nice.
911
00:42:07,233 --> 00:42:10,432
Axe?
912
00:42:10,433 --> 00:42:12,799
Can I help you, Todd?
913
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,799
How many hours did you spend
obsessing over my positions?
914
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:17,499
Ah, it paid for itself.
915
00:42:17,500 --> 00:42:19,332
Or, rather, you paid for it.
916
00:42:19,333 --> 00:42:22,999
You got me, Axe. You did.
917
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:26,266
But don't worry.
I'll get you back.
918
00:42:28,633 --> 00:42:30,999
I'm not here for another
recruiting pitch.
919
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,466
From the look in your
eyes, I'd say you have
920
00:42:33,467 --> 00:42:35,332
no real idea why you're here.
921
00:42:35,333 --> 00:42:38,433
I just had to get
out of that office.
922
00:42:40,767 --> 00:42:45,265
Now it's come to this, the one
person I can turn to... you.
923
00:42:45,266 --> 00:42:47,467
That's what the
game does to you.
924
00:42:50,133 --> 00:42:51,800
I'm glad you called.
925
00:43:01,333 --> 00:43:03,733
Nothing's straightforward
anymore.
926
00:43:03,734 --> 00:43:07,799
It's barely recognizable.
927
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:10,165
When I was in your
class in law school,
928
00:43:10,166 --> 00:43:12,065
we didn't exactly cover...
929
00:43:12,066 --> 00:43:14,165
- The vagaries?
- Right.
930
00:43:14,166 --> 00:43:16,899
What was I going to say, "When
you leave these walls,"
931
00:43:16,900 --> 00:43:18,933
none of what you do
will even resemble
932
00:43:18,934 --> 00:43:20,799
the ideals discussed
in this building,
933
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:22,934
what is so cleanly laid
out in the books"?
934
00:43:25,767 --> 00:43:29,934
When I look around the office,
I do not see friends.
935
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:34,766
There was a-a woman...
936
00:43:34,767 --> 00:43:36,799
a colleague.
937
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:38,866
Something good was starting.
938
00:43:38,867 --> 00:43:42,766
But, uh, she saw
me for what I was,
939
00:43:42,767 --> 00:43:44,866
what I was becoming,
and then it was over.
940
00:43:44,867 --> 00:43:48,199
To think that real
relationships are possible
941
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:49,366
in such a cauldron.
942
00:43:49,367 --> 00:43:51,432
I didn't count on that.
943
00:43:51,433 --> 00:43:53,366
But I guess
944
00:43:53,367 --> 00:43:57,065
I did count on a shared mission.
945
00:43:57,066 --> 00:44:00,632
Yet you stay. Yet you're
loyal to Rhoades.
946
00:44:00,633 --> 00:44:02,833
I can't claim the moral
high ground anymore.
947
00:44:02,834 --> 00:44:04,632
The Crim job.
948
00:44:04,633 --> 00:44:06,733
If I'm this conflicted now...
949
00:44:06,734 --> 00:44:08,799
There's never been a
leader of any merit
950
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:10,999
who was free of those doubts.
951
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:14,132
But you can't stop now.
952
00:44:14,133 --> 00:44:17,232
You need to feel what it will
be like to sit in that office,
953
00:44:17,233 --> 00:44:20,232
to be the one making
the decision.
954
00:44:20,233 --> 00:44:22,399
And to resolve
those conflicts...
955
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:25,233
Both the ones in the office
and inside yourself.
956
00:44:27,834 --> 00:44:31,266
Yeah, maybe I'll ride it
out long enough to see.
957
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:40,299
Mmm.
958
00:44:40,300 --> 00:44:44,666
Speaking Japanese
959
00:44:44,667 --> 00:44:45,766
speaking Japanese.
960
00:44:45,767 --> 00:44:48,632
No fucking way he gets that job.
961
00:44:48,633 --> 00:44:50,666
'Cause he can't do that job!
962
00:44:50,667 --> 00:44:52,499
- He's a piker...
- Fucking cellphones.
963
00:44:52,500 --> 00:44:53,632
Trying to swim laps...
964
00:44:53,633 --> 00:44:56,000
In this temple.
965
00:44:58,700 --> 00:45:01,467
♪ Dramatic music plays ♪
966
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:09,799
You don't put
ginger on the fish.
967
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:13,499
It's to clear the palate between
pieces, not drown it out.
968
00:45:13,500 --> 00:45:16,899
And it is already
precisely sauced.
969
00:45:16,900 --> 00:45:18,599
Doesn't need a soy bath.
970
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:20,433
Chill out, Mr. Miyagi.
971
00:45:25,233 --> 00:45:26,666
No.
972
00:45:26,667 --> 00:45:28,899
I won't, you fucking heathens.
973
00:45:28,900 --> 00:45:31,432
This man is an artist.
974
00:45:31,433 --> 00:45:34,766
He had to spend ten years
learning how to make the tamago.
975
00:45:34,767 --> 00:45:37,666
The egg. The egg!
976
00:45:37,667 --> 00:45:40,199
Your expense accounts
don't entitle you
977
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:42,366
to fuck his art up the ass!
978
00:45:42,367 --> 00:45:43,766
Dude, that's it.
979
00:45:43,767 --> 00:45:45,532
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Whoa, settle.
980
00:45:45,533 --> 00:45:47,699
- Settle, Wags.
- Fuck, hold up.
981
00:45:47,700 --> 00:45:50,099
It's Mike Wagner.
982
00:45:50,100 --> 00:45:51,867
Axe Capital.
983
00:45:53,967 --> 00:45:56,533
Apologies for the disrespect.
984
00:45:59,767 --> 00:46:03,599
Speaking Japanese
985
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:06,734
speaking Japanese Hai.
986
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:11,099
Sorry you saw that.
987
00:46:11,100 --> 00:46:13,899
It was a bit too revealing.
988
00:46:13,900 --> 00:46:16,566
Yeah, it was.
989
00:46:16,567 --> 00:46:18,599
I loved it.
990
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:20,799
That is passion, man.
991
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:24,132
When are you and I gonna
go a few rounds, huh?
992
00:46:24,133 --> 00:46:27,165
Let me tell you an open secret.
993
00:46:27,166 --> 00:46:28,799
These traders I jack up all day,
994
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,599
they are middle-school children.
995
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:35,766
You, you are Mike Wagner.
996
00:46:35,767 --> 00:46:40,332
But you need to ask yourself
where are you at right now?
997
00:46:40,333 --> 00:46:42,632
What's churning those
waters up so much
998
00:46:42,633 --> 00:46:45,100
that a little cub like
that can break the levee?
999
00:46:56,333 --> 00:46:59,165
Things can't be that
bad for you here
1000
00:46:59,166 --> 00:47:02,432
if you still have the A.G.'s
picture on your wall.
1001
00:47:02,433 --> 00:47:06,599
Dad, uh...
1002
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:08,099
about Wendy and me.
1003
00:47:08,100 --> 00:47:09,600
You thought you could
keep it from me.
1004
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:11,866
Nah.
1005
00:47:11,867 --> 00:47:15,233
These things have a way of
floating up out of the murk.
1006
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:21,466
Our separation is
about needing space.
1007
00:47:21,467 --> 00:47:24,733
And I think that extends to you.
1008
00:47:24,734 --> 00:47:26,132
So I have to ask you...
1009
00:47:26,133 --> 00:47:29,432
I have something for you.
1010
00:47:29,433 --> 00:47:31,733
It occurred to me that
your problem is money.
1011
00:47:31,734 --> 00:47:33,232
- Always has been.
- I disagree.
1012
00:47:33,233 --> 00:47:34,599
She has more money than you,
1013
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:36,899
and that's outside the
natural order of things.
1014
00:47:36,900 --> 00:47:38,966
But it's only because
everything you have
1015
00:47:38,967 --> 00:47:41,632
is bound up in this silly
trust, and you can't use it.
1016
00:47:41,633 --> 00:47:43,899
You're effectively a cripple.
1017
00:47:43,900 --> 00:47:45,733
I'm rewarded by a
different metric.
1018
00:47:45,734 --> 00:47:47,299
But I have a solution.
1019
00:47:47,300 --> 00:47:50,866
A signature from me
as your trustee,
1020
00:47:50,867 --> 00:47:53,466
and it goes where we need.
1021
00:47:53,467 --> 00:47:55,433
You didn't.
1022
00:47:58,133 --> 00:48:00,733
I bought a ring.
1023
00:48:00,734 --> 00:48:02,299
We're in my office.
1024
00:48:02,300 --> 00:48:04,866
It's not a gift from me.
1025
00:48:04,867 --> 00:48:06,900
I bought it with your money.
1026
00:48:11,066 --> 00:48:13,532
Give it to Wendy.
1027
00:48:13,533 --> 00:48:15,866
- Show her you're serious...
1028
00:48:15,867 --> 00:48:18,032
- about maintaining the union.
- No.
1029
00:48:18,033 --> 00:48:20,733
No. That's not a move.
That's not who she is.
1030
00:48:20,734 --> 00:48:23,799
It's a six-figure ring, son.
It's who they all are.
1031
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:26,299
What time does your thing start?
1032
00:48:26,300 --> 00:48:28,299
- Stuckey Brown told me...
- Stuckey Brown.
1033
00:48:28,300 --> 00:48:30,599
He once had a woman
upstairs in his bed...
1034
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:32,232
Mm-hmm.
1035
00:48:32,233 --> 00:48:34,399
When he heard his wife
walk in the front hall.
1036
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:36,899
Uh, Dad, I need to, uh...
1037
00:48:36,900 --> 00:48:40,265
So Stuckey called down to
her, he said, "Elizabeth",
1038
00:48:40,266 --> 00:48:43,666
if you don't put one
foot on the stairs,
1039
00:48:43,667 --> 00:48:45,566
"I'll wire two million
dollars to your account."
1040
00:48:45,567 --> 00:48:48,065
- Uh-huh.
- And what did she do?
1041
00:48:48,066 --> 00:48:50,599
She walked right back
out the front door.
1042
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:52,265
Take the ring.
1043
00:48:52,266 --> 00:48:54,433
It's a balm, it's a way...
1044
00:48:58,166 --> 00:48:59,699
Thank you, Dad.
1045
00:48:59,700 --> 00:49:02,899
I appreciate the gesture. I do.
1046
00:49:02,900 --> 00:49:04,866
But, uh...
1047
00:49:04,867 --> 00:49:08,532
And I'm sorry that I kept
our situation from you.
1048
00:49:08,533 --> 00:49:10,733
I know it hurt your feelings.
1049
00:49:10,734 --> 00:49:15,065
- No, I'm fine.
- But I cannot accept the ring.
1050
00:49:15,066 --> 00:49:17,899
I cannot invade my

1051
00:49:17,900 --> 00:49:19,866
in this life or the next.
1052
00:49:19,867 --> 00:49:23,699
It would be... unethical.
1053
00:49:23,700 --> 00:49:25,299
You have to take it back.
1054
00:49:25,300 --> 00:49:27,866
You're talking like a man
with a terminal disease.
1055
00:49:27,867 --> 00:49:29,366
Have a good time at the show.
1056
00:49:29,367 --> 00:49:32,633
You make sure that
he gets to his car.
1057
00:49:37,934 --> 00:49:39,999
Yeah, talk to me, Fred.
1058
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:42,332
I underestimated this, Chuck.
1059
00:49:42,333 --> 00:49:44,132
The General is not
looking for pelts.
1060
00:49:44,133 --> 00:49:46,566
She said that Kurt Williams
would be a huge case
1061
00:49:46,567 --> 00:49:49,099
for whoever takes over
your office next.
1062
00:49:49,100 --> 00:49:52,666
Understood.
1063
00:49:52,667 --> 00:49:53,899
See you tomorrow.
1064
00:49:53,900 --> 00:49:57,066
I'm sorry I couldn't do more.
1065
00:50:12,266 --> 00:50:15,132
Sorry I had to skip the recital.
1066
00:50:15,133 --> 00:50:17,499
It's been a balled-up
kind of a day.
1067
00:50:17,500 --> 00:50:20,666
You don't have to
apologize to me.
1068
00:50:20,667 --> 00:50:22,667
Just your daughter.
1069
00:50:26,867 --> 00:50:29,632
I talked to Oliver Dake.
1070
00:50:29,633 --> 00:50:32,632
I didn't have to admit to
anything too damaging.
1071
00:50:32,633 --> 00:50:34,933
But he'll be on
your recusal next,
1072
00:50:34,934 --> 00:50:38,467
and... he is not gonna stop.
1073
00:50:48,066 --> 00:50:50,133
You have that look.
1074
00:50:53,033 --> 00:50:54,166
That bad, huh?
1075
00:50:56,967 --> 00:51:01,766
I have this exercise I do with
my clients called the 180.
1076
00:51:01,767 --> 00:51:03,566
When they've really
lost the thread,
1077
00:51:03,567 --> 00:51:05,232
when they're so
fixated on a stock,
1078
00:51:05,233 --> 00:51:08,132
they can't see it's a dumpster
burning in front of them.
1079
00:51:08,133 --> 00:51:11,199
Maybe they can cut their losses.
1080
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:13,466
But only a great few
1081
00:51:13,467 --> 00:51:15,766
can go the opposite
way, can pivot,
1082
00:51:15,767 --> 00:51:18,933
and see that it's
really a short.
1083
00:51:18,934 --> 00:51:20,933
You're a prime candidate for it
1084
00:51:20,934 --> 00:51:24,599
because whatever... choices
you've been making,
1085
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:26,767
they sure as hell
aren't working.

to say that the SEC
1095
00:52:48,133 --> 00:52:53,132
has no plans to investigate
Spartan-Ives or Lawrence Boyd.
1096

No, I will not confirm that.

Do you deny there's an active
investigation of Lawrence Boyd?
1099
00:53:01,834 --> 00:53:04,099

such a radical endeavor

you for that, General.

You think you're a bold player?
1123
00:53:57,967 --> 00:53:59,899
Going after Spartan-Ives
is asinine.

Accept it or push

1129
00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:13,299

00:54:13,300 --> 00:54:15,099
Not so.

1132
00:54:17,266 --> 00:54:20,165
