1
00:00:03,962 --> 00:00:06,256
<i>Previously on Billions.</i>

2
00:00:06,297 --> 00:00:10,260
<i>It's been hard to watch
the world celebrate this man</i>

3
00:00:10,301 --> 00:00:12,679
<i>and know the truth of
what he did to my son.</i>

4
00:00:12,721 --> 00:00:14,848
<i>Which is steal from
him and destroy him.</i>

5
00:00:14,889 --> 00:00:16,975
<i>I need a list of
all the companies</i>

6
00:00:17,017 --> 00:00:18,685
<i>who don't deserve to
be collateral damage</i>

7
00:00:18,727 --> 00:00:19,853
<i>to my mistakes.</i>

8
00:00:19,894 --> 00:00:22,188
<i>- So you can?
- Free them.</i>

9
00:00:22,230 --> 00:00:24,524
<i>He's selling just to sell
which means we can buy it all.</i>

10
00:00:24,566 --> 00:00:26,026
<i>[Wags] Prince is
done. He's bled out.</i>

11
00:00:26,067 --> 00:00:28,028
<i>He's not dead until
I say he's dead.</i>

12
00:00:28,069 --> 00:00:29,988
<i>A month from
now, these hospitals</i>

13
00:00:30,030 --> 00:00:32,365
<i>they're going to be over run
with that damn Chinese bug.</i>

14
00:00:32,407 --> 00:00:33,700
<i>[Axe] How's our painter doing?</i>

15
00:00:33,742 --> 00:00:34,868
<i>[Wendy] He's got collectors</i>

16
00:00:34,909 --> 00:00:36,161
<i>and commissions in his head.</i>

17
00:00:36,202 --> 00:00:37,871
<i>I could take some pressure off.</i>

18
00:00:37,912 --> 00:00:41,041
<i>Axe used his black magic to
get my commission squashed.</i>

19
00:00:41,082 --> 00:00:43,418
<i>Did you know Axe
was gonna do this?</i>

20
00:00:43,460 --> 00:00:45,837
<i>In case you're still not sure
when something's finished...</i>

21
00:00:45,879 --> 00:00:47,047
<i>this fucking is.</i>

22
00:00:48,423 --> 00:00:49,841
<i>Every company you sold off today</i>

23
00:00:49,883 --> 00:00:51,259
<i>will likely fold.</i>

24
00:00:51,301 --> 00:00:52,552
<i>You didn't know?</i>

25
00:00:52,594 --> 00:00:53,887
<i>Bobby Axelrod has to be</i>

26
00:00:53,928 --> 00:00:56,056
<i>wiped off the face of the Earth.</i>

27
00:00:56,097 --> 00:00:58,224
<i>Axe has a new toy, a bank.</i>

28
00:00:58,266 --> 00:01:00,310
<i>And the bank requires a trustee.</i>

29
00:01:00,351 --> 00:01:03,730
<i>I could yank his puppet strings.</i>

30
00:01:03,772 --> 00:01:06,691
<i>Now you get to live and
be my man on the inside.</i>

31
00:01:06,733 --> 00:01:09,194
<i>Well it may not work
out the way you think.</i>

32
00:01:09,235 --> 00:01:10,653
<i>Wait a minute. You're the donor?</i>

33
00:01:10,695 --> 00:01:12,197
<i>Senior's not our man anymore.</i>

34
00:01:12,238 --> 00:01:15,575
<i>I'm the bait, and
the bank is the trap.</i>

35
00:01:19,454 --> 00:01:21,247
<i>How are we taking
down Bobby Axelrod?</i>

36
00:01:45,522 --> 00:01:47,107
<i>Welcome back.</i>

37
00:01:47,148 --> 00:01:48,608
<i>You too.</i>

38
00:02:03,414 --> 00:02:04,958
<i>He's really fucking
hangin' that thing?</i>

39
00:02:04,999 --> 00:02:08,294
<i>They hung it. He told
me where, I pointed.</i>

40
00:02:08,336 --> 00:02:10,463
<i>Freshen up the look in
honor of being back in person.</i>

41
00:02:10,505 --> 00:02:11,965
<i>It's not a real painting.</i>

42
00:02:12,006 --> 00:02:13,967
<i>Is if Axe says it is.</i>

43
00:02:14,008 --> 00:02:16,970
<i>That's a great thing
about abstract art;</i>

44
00:02:17,011 --> 00:02:18,680
<i>who knows what Tanner intended?</i>

45
00:02:19,305 --> 00:02:21,057
<i>I do.</i>

46
00:02:21,099 --> 00:02:22,779
<i>And what he intended
was to smash it all...</i>

47
00:02:22,809 --> 00:02:24,477
<i>If it upsets you,</i>

48
00:02:24,519 --> 00:02:26,646
<i>take it up with He Most Exalted.</i>

49
00:02:45,206 --> 00:02:47,500
<i>Hey, Wags said you were upset.</i>

50
00:02:47,542 --> 00:02:49,169
<i>Why'd you do it?</i>

51
00:02:49,210 --> 00:02:51,004
<i>Well, I own the paintings
and the wall so...</i>

52
00:02:51,045 --> 00:02:52,565
<i>Come on, Bobby, you
know what I'm asking.</i>

53
00:02:52,589 --> 00:02:54,507
<i>Why'd you fuck him up like that?</i>

54
00:02:54,549 --> 00:02:56,009
<i>Ruin him.</i>

55
00:02:56,050 --> 00:02:57,802
<i>He's not ruined.</i>

56
00:02:57,844 --> 00:02:59,321
<i>This whole thing is gonna
make the critics love him.</i>

57
00:02:59,345 --> 00:03:01,014
<i>You got him out of
my life pretty quick</i>

58
00:03:01,055 --> 00:03:02,932
<i>is all I'm saying,
and not by accident.</i>

59
00:03:02,974 --> 00:03:04,767
<i>No part of that is true.</i>

60
00:03:04,809 --> 00:03:06,311
<i>Not even close to it.</i>

61
00:03:06,352 --> 00:03:08,438
<i>Remember this, he
was in my life first.</i>

62
00:03:08,479 --> 00:03:10,440
<i>It was your job to keep
him there productively.</i>

63
00:03:10,481 --> 00:03:12,525
<i>You fucked that up, not me.</i>

64
00:03:12,567 --> 00:03:14,110
<i>That painting,</i>

65
00:03:14,152 --> 00:03:15,862
<i>it's all I have to show for it.</i>

66
00:03:15,904 --> 00:03:17,381
<i>If one of us should be asking
hard questions of the other,</i>

67
00:03:17,405 --> 00:03:18,405
<i>it's me.</i>

68
00:03:22,202 --> 00:03:24,037
<i>Hey, stay by your phone.</i>

69
00:03:25,079 --> 00:03:27,373
<i>I... I need you.</i>

70
00:03:29,083 --> 00:03:30,710
<i>For after that thing, you know?</i>

71
00:03:30,752 --> 00:03:32,879
<i>To talk 'em down.</i>

72
00:03:32,921 --> 00:03:35,798
<i>I don't ever wanna die</i>

73
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,593
<i>I wanna hear the angels sing</i>

74
00:03:38,635 --> 00:03:41,387
<i>I wanna give every dime I own.</i>

75
00:03:41,429 --> 00:03:44,599
<i>And I want all the gold for me</i>

76
00:03:44,641 --> 00:03:46,851
<i>I want everything.</i>

77
00:03:48,061 --> 00:03:50,271
<i>I want everything...</i>

78
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,459
<i>The market's been
like the Spanish Boot.</i>

79
00:04:11,501 --> 00:04:13,419
<i>You know, like
during the Inquisition,</i>

80
00:04:13,461 --> 00:04:15,922
<i>when they cased
your legs in iron spikes</i>

81
00:04:15,964 --> 00:04:17,423
<i>until they crushed your shins?</i>

82
00:04:17,465 --> 00:04:19,384
<i>Yeah, except it's
not just the legs.</i>

83
00:04:19,425 --> 00:04:20,385
<i>Iron Maiden.</i>

84
00:04:20,426 --> 00:04:22,220
<i>"Number of the Beast."</i>

85
00:04:22,262 --> 00:04:24,555
<i>Absolutely what this
whole thing feels like,</i>

86
00:04:24,597 --> 00:04:26,766
<i>whole pandemic. Devil's work.</i>

87
00:04:26,808 --> 00:04:28,059
<i>No. The torture implement.</i>

88
00:04:28,101 --> 00:04:30,395
<i>Like the boot, but full body.</i>

89
00:04:30,436 --> 00:04:32,289
<i>With all this volatility,
drawing and quartering</i>

90
00:04:32,313 --> 00:04:33,898
<i>would be most appropriate.</i>

91
00:04:33,940 --> 00:04:35,525
<i>And at least they
hung you first.</i>

92
00:04:35,566 --> 00:04:38,861
<i>They hung you second.
They dragged you first.</i>

93
00:04:38,903 --> 00:04:40,571
<i>Behind a horse.</i>

94
00:04:40,613 --> 00:04:42,407
<i>Then they hung you.</i>

95
00:04:42,448 --> 00:04:43,408
<i>Then they quartered you.</i>

96
00:04:43,449 --> 00:04:44,867
<i>Jeez.</i>

97
00:04:46,035 --> 00:04:47,453
<i>Attention please!</i>

98
00:04:47,495 --> 00:04:49,330
<i>Don't try to slink
away just yet.</i>

99
00:04:49,372 --> 00:04:51,374
<i>We have an announcement.</i>

100
00:04:53,126 --> 00:04:56,170
<i>So first of all, if you
have been vaccinated,</i>

101
00:04:56,212 --> 00:04:57,839
<i>take off your mask.</i>

102
00:05:00,049 --> 00:05:02,010
<i>I just got back
some lab results,</i>

103
00:05:02,051 --> 00:05:04,637
<i>and the rapid test
you all take downstairs,</i>

104
00:05:04,679 --> 00:05:06,514
<i>it's not the one most folks get,</i>

105
00:05:06,556 --> 00:05:08,725
<i>and it's 99.6% effective.</i>

106
00:05:08,766 --> 00:05:10,518
<i>So if you're at Axe Cap,</i>

107
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,854
<i>you are not transmitting
any viral load.</i>

108
00:05:12,895 --> 00:05:14,605
<i>Where are you?</i>

109
00:05:14,647 --> 00:05:16,107
<i>I'm in quarantine.</i>

110
00:05:16,149 --> 00:05:18,151
<i>Day before I was
due to get my shot,</i>

111
00:05:18,192 --> 00:05:21,904
<i>I tested positive for COVID.
My fuckin' pilot gave it to me.</i>

112
00:05:21,946 --> 00:05:24,574
<i>So those of you
with your masks off,</i>

113
00:05:24,615 --> 00:05:26,242
<i>we've vaxxed ya'.</i>

114
00:05:26,284 --> 00:05:28,661
<i>As many as we could
find loopholes for.</i>

115
00:05:28,703 --> 00:05:30,663
<i>If we didn't vax ya' yet,</i>

116
00:05:30,705 --> 00:05:33,958
<i>well, let me just say.</i>

117
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,336
<i>It's been inspiring as hell</i>

118
00:05:36,377 --> 00:05:37,837
<i>watching you all
battle on during</i>

119
00:05:37,879 --> 00:05:39,672
<i>the worst of the pandemic.</i>

120
00:05:39,714 --> 00:05:41,507
<i>Inspiring commitment.</i>

121
00:05:41,549 --> 00:05:44,177
<i>Just the same, you're all fired.</i>

122
00:05:44,218 --> 00:05:46,637
<i>Every last one of you.</i>

123
00:05:46,679 --> 00:05:48,514
<i>Axe Cap is closed.</i>

124
00:05:51,476 --> 00:05:54,395
<i>Now, most of you</i>

125
00:05:54,437 --> 00:05:57,398
<i>will be hired back again
by the end of tonight,</i>

126
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,025
<i>by the new Axe Holding Company</i>

127
00:05:59,067 --> 00:06:00,568
<i>under either the Axe Bank</i>

128
00:06:00,610 --> 00:06:02,862
<i>or the Axe Asset
Management Division.</i>

129
00:06:02,904 --> 00:06:05,782
<i>Our new structure will be in
place by the end of the weekend</i>

130
00:06:05,823 --> 00:06:07,241
<i>so we're open for
business Monday.</i>

131
00:06:07,283 --> 00:06:09,994
<i>You said "most" will be rehired?</i>

132
00:06:10,036 --> 00:06:11,621
<i>Good listening.</i>

133
00:06:11,662 --> 00:06:13,414
<i>That's right, Ben Kim, like you.</i>

134
00:06:13,456 --> 00:06:15,708
<i>But not like...</i>

135
00:06:18,544 --> 00:06:20,588
<i>Now Wendy is
gonna be in her office</i>

136
00:06:20,630 --> 00:06:21,631
<i>getting ready to discuss</i>

137
00:06:21,672 --> 00:06:22,757
<i>all of this with you</i>

138
00:06:22,799 --> 00:06:24,217
<i>at the exit interviews.</i>

139
00:06:24,258 --> 00:06:26,177
<i>The world has changed.</i>

140
00:06:26,219 --> 00:06:28,304
<i>We have to change.</i>

141
00:06:28,346 --> 00:06:32,141
<i>- This way.
- We have already changed.</i>

142
00:06:32,183 --> 00:06:34,727
<i>Lauren, you're gonna
have to choose between.</i>

143
00:06:34,769 --> 00:06:37,355
<i>Axe Bank and Mase Carbon.</i>

144
00:06:37,397 --> 00:06:39,565
<i>You got until the end
of the night to decide.</i>

145
00:06:57,458 --> 00:06:59,085
<i>First priority,</i>

146
00:06:59,127 --> 00:07:00,604
<i>form an emergency
capital introduction</i>

147
00:07:00,628 --> 00:07:02,255
<i>and raise team for the bank.</i>

148
00:07:02,296 --> 00:07:04,215
<i>We need some fuckin' deposits.</i>

149
00:07:04,257 --> 00:07:06,342
<i>And more than just
stimulus checks.</i>

150
00:07:06,384 --> 00:07:07,552
<i>Before there's none left,</i>

151
00:07:07,593 --> 00:07:09,804
<i>and our bank dies in the crib.</i>

152
00:07:09,846 --> 00:07:11,806
<i>Seemed so easy before.</i>

153
00:07:11,848 --> 00:07:13,349
<i>Yeah, well, the fucking Goliaths</i>

154
00:07:13,391 --> 00:07:14,767
<i>have gobbled it all up.</i>

155
00:07:14,809 --> 00:07:16,269
<i>So find me mine.</i>

156
00:07:20,690 --> 00:07:23,651
<i>Psychiatrists will tell you
reassurance does no good,</i>

157
00:07:23,693 --> 00:07:25,862
<i>because once reassured,
you are not becalmed for long.</i>

158
00:07:25,903 --> 00:07:27,965
<i>Instead, you become trained
to need more reassurance.</i>

159
00:07:27,989 --> 00:07:30,074
<i>Yeah. But I still
look in the mirror</i>

160
00:07:30,116 --> 00:07:31,325
<i>to make sure my butt is...</i>

161
00:07:31,367 --> 00:07:32,827
<i>You could just ask...</i>

162
00:07:33,786 --> 00:07:34,954
<i>somebody.</i>

163
00:07:34,996 --> 00:07:37,039
<i>-I'd... Fine.</i>

164
00:07:37,081 --> 00:07:39,375
<i>I'll take this moment to
set your minds at ease.</i>

165
00:07:39,417 --> 00:07:40,960
<i>No matter what the
mothership does,</i>

166
00:07:41,002 --> 00:07:43,129
<i>we at Taylor Mason Carbon
will remain autonomous.</i>

167
00:07:43,171 --> 00:07:44,481
<i>You will not be
working for a bank.</i>

168
00:07:44,505 --> 00:07:45,965
<i>All will be resolved.</i>

169
00:07:46,007 --> 00:07:47,467
<i>What about her?</i>

170
00:07:47,508 --> 00:07:50,470
<i>You... I mean Lauren.</i>

171
00:07:50,511 --> 00:07:52,555
<i>I didn't mean to
just reference you.</i>

172
00:07:52,597 --> 00:07:54,056
<i>You're right there so...</i>

173
00:07:54,098 --> 00:07:55,766
<i>We all need to stay
focused and united.</i>

174
00:07:55,808 --> 00:07:57,310
<i>Loyalty is doubly important now.</i>

175
00:07:57,351 --> 00:07:58,978
<i>So Lauren isn't
going to the bank.</i>

176
00:07:59,020 --> 00:08:01,647
<i>She'll stay in IR at the
new asset management arm</i>

177
00:08:01,689 --> 00:08:03,107
<i>and stay in place for us.</i>

178
00:08:16,913 --> 00:08:18,664
<i>Hard Bob?</i>

179
00:08:18,706 --> 00:08:20,500
<i>'Lo, Axe.</i>

180
00:08:20,541 --> 00:08:23,669
<i>When last we spoke, you'd
tendered me a position.</i>

181
00:08:23,711 --> 00:08:26,631
<i>Well, now that I find
myself at loose ends,</i>

182
00:08:26,672 --> 00:08:28,674
<i>I was of a mind to claim it.</i>

183
00:08:28,716 --> 00:08:30,551
<i>They bounced you
out of the government</i>

184
00:08:30,593 --> 00:08:32,220
<i>because of your
connection to Krakow?</i>

185
00:08:32,261 --> 00:08:34,680
<i>They did indeed.</i>

186
00:08:34,722 --> 00:08:36,224
<i>But during quarantine,</i>

187
00:08:36,265 --> 00:08:38,226
<i>I became aware of
your new endeavor.</i>

188
00:08:38,267 --> 00:08:40,019
<i>So I've boned up</i>

189
00:08:40,061 --> 00:08:42,271
<i>on all the latest changes
to the banking laws</i>

190
00:08:42,313 --> 00:08:44,273
<i>on the off chance you
need someone to be</i>

191
00:08:44,315 --> 00:08:46,442
<i>your banking compliance honcho.</i>

192
00:08:49,403 --> 00:08:51,364
<i>Well, get over to our office</i>

193
00:08:51,405 --> 00:08:53,908
<i>and get started with my CEO.</i>

194
00:08:54,659 --> 00:08:56,285
<i>You got it, Axe.</i>

195
00:09:08,422 --> 00:09:10,591
<i>You two seem banky.</i>

196
00:09:10,633 --> 00:09:12,009
<i>You feelin' banky?</i>

197
00:09:12,051 --> 00:09:14,428
<i>This is... is this trolling?</i>

198
00:09:14,470 --> 00:09:16,013
<i>Are you trolling us?</i>

199
00:09:16,055 --> 00:09:18,057
<i>He's seeing what we're made of.</i>

200
00:09:18,099 --> 00:09:20,810
<i>That I am. And you are
made of the stuff of Fort Knox.</i>

201
00:09:20,851 --> 00:09:23,938
<i>Stand by. Assignment's coming
directly from the high chief.</i>

202
00:09:27,733 --> 00:09:29,360
<i>You wanted a reminder;</i>

203
00:09:29,402 --> 00:09:31,362
<i>you have a date with a
Chelsea tonight. 8:00 p.m.</i>

204
00:09:31,404 --> 00:09:33,281
<i>Oh, shit!</i>

205
00:09:33,322 --> 00:09:34,824
<i>I forgot.</i>

206
00:09:34,865 --> 00:09:36,867
<i>No way I can
leave the office now.</i>

207
00:09:36,909 --> 00:09:38,536
<i>This one is important.</i>

208
00:09:38,578 --> 00:09:40,621
<i>I thought the last one
was, but this is crucial.</i>

209
00:09:40,663 --> 00:09:42,456
<i>Take dictation.</i>

210
00:09:44,041 --> 00:09:45,418
<i>Oh, you mean me?</i>

211
00:09:45,459 --> 00:09:47,545
<i>I thought you were
gonna enable Siri.</i>

212
00:09:47,587 --> 00:09:49,672
<i>Just a type a text
to Chelz for me.</i>

213
00:09:57,096 --> 00:09:58,931
<i>The sequel to The Hustler.</i>

214
00:09:58,973 --> 00:10:00,349
<i>Color of Money.</i>

215
00:10:00,391 --> 00:10:02,184
<i>Yes. One of my
roommates from Williams</i>

216
00:10:02,226 --> 00:10:04,270
<i>kept watching it
over and over again.</i>

217
00:10:04,312 --> 00:10:05,855
<i>And I asked him why.</i>

218
00:10:05,896 --> 00:10:07,607
<i>And he said it was
because of the way</i>

219
00:10:07,648 --> 00:10:09,942
<i>the power dynamics
kept switching.</i>

220
00:10:09,984 --> 00:10:12,069
<i>And he never knew
who was zooming who.</i>

221
00:10:12,111 --> 00:10:14,447
<i>Hmm. My college roommates
were mostly just trying</i>

222
00:10:14,488 --> 00:10:16,073
<i>to make one of
those beer harnesses</i>

223
00:10:16,115 --> 00:10:17,801
<i>- you put around your head...
- Yeah, jocks, yes.</i>

224
00:10:17,825 --> 00:10:19,785
<i>But it's the "Who's
zooming whom" part.</i>

225
00:10:19,827 --> 00:10:21,329
<i>That means
something different now.</i>

226
00:10:21,370 --> 00:10:22,913
<i>But you want me to be eyes up.</i>

227
00:10:22,955 --> 00:10:24,457
<i>I need you to be.</i>

228
00:10:24,498 --> 00:10:27,126
<i>Especially in that
company at that dinner.</i>

229
00:10:27,168 --> 00:10:28,586
<i>And not just at the dinner.</i>

230
00:10:28,628 --> 00:10:30,630
<i>Then that's where they'll be.</i>

231
00:10:30,671 --> 00:10:31,671
<i>Up.</i>

232
00:10:45,686 --> 00:10:46,812
<i>No, no, no, don't do that</i>

233
00:10:46,854 --> 00:10:47,956
<i>with your fingers, like that.</i>

234
00:10:47,980 --> 00:10:49,148
<i>No, you forget germs?</i>

235
00:10:49,190 --> 00:10:51,317
<i>I've earned this carrot.</i>

236
00:10:51,359 --> 00:10:53,861
<i>Believe me, you're gonna
give me all the carrots.</i>

237
00:10:55,196 --> 00:10:57,073
<i>Ah-ha, you have news.</i>

238
00:10:58,074 --> 00:11:00,242
<i>Signed NDAs.</i>

239
00:11:00,284 --> 00:11:01,911
<i>We got the offer.</i>

240
00:11:01,952 --> 00:11:03,579
<i>And it's a sweet one.</i>

241
00:11:03,621 --> 00:11:05,331
<i>Suh-weet.</i>

242
00:11:05,373 --> 00:11:07,017
<i>Wendy didn't undersell
the value of her shares</i>

243
00:11:07,041 --> 00:11:08,334
<i>to Taylor Mason Carbon.</i>

244
00:11:08,376 --> 00:11:10,419
<i>Very fair, more than fair.</i>

245
00:11:10,461 --> 00:11:12,296
<i>And she's ready to
strike a payment plan</i>

246
00:11:12,338 --> 00:11:13,798
<i>and write out a check ASAP</i>

247
00:11:13,839 --> 00:11:15,466
<i>to finalize the
divorce settlement.</i>

248
00:11:15,508 --> 00:11:17,343
<i>That's no Cinnabon.</i>

249
00:11:17,385 --> 00:11:20,012
<i>That's a sour cream
sandwich and I'm not biting.</i>

250
00:11:20,054 --> 00:11:21,365
<i>Don't tell me you're
balking at the idea</i>

251
00:11:21,389 --> 00:11:22,848
<i>of her paying you alimony?</i>

252
00:11:22,890 --> 00:11:25,309
<i>I thought we were
well past you realizing</i>

253
00:11:25,351 --> 00:11:26,703
<i>your worth isn't just
measured in dollars.</i>

254
00:11:26,727 --> 00:11:28,229
<i>No, no, no gallantry.</i>

255
00:11:28,270 --> 00:11:29,855
<i>I am past that quaint idea.</i>

256
00:11:29,897 --> 00:11:31,399
<i>What I want is leverage.</i>

257
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,192
<i>To do my own valuation
of Mase Carbon.</i>

258
00:11:33,234 --> 00:11:34,402
<i>Use the offer to get me that.</i>

259
00:11:34,443 --> 00:11:36,821
<i>You wanna look at their books.</i>

260
00:11:36,862 --> 00:11:38,840
<i>I want to crawl into them
with my prospector's light.</i>

261
00:11:38,864 --> 00:11:40,533
<i>And, uh, yeah, well,</i>

262
00:11:40,574 --> 00:11:42,868
<i>I don't wanna
call it a full audit.</i>

263
00:11:42,910 --> 00:11:44,829
<i>Let's just see how
they're cookin' 'em.</i>

264
00:11:44,870 --> 00:11:46,706
<i>It ain't good for you, brother.</i>

265
00:11:46,747 --> 00:11:49,166
<i>You keep at this, you're
gonna pull an embolism</i>

266
00:11:49,208 --> 00:11:52,253
<i>or send your blood pressure
into Alice Kramden territory,</i>

267
00:11:52,294 --> 00:11:55,381
<i>to the moon. Don't do this.</i>

268
00:11:55,423 --> 00:11:57,049
<i>I say as your lawyer
and best friend.</i>

269
00:11:57,091 --> 00:11:59,719
<i>I hear you and I understand.</i>

270
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,054
<i>And at a rational
level, I agree.</i>

271
00:12:02,096 --> 00:12:04,724
<i>And thank you with an
open heart and mind.</i>

272
00:12:04,765 --> 00:12:08,310
<i>But also my open mind</i>

273
00:12:08,352 --> 00:12:10,146
<i>you've already got that demand</i>

274
00:12:10,187 --> 00:12:12,898
<i>for financial
disclosure drawn up</i>

275
00:12:12,940 --> 00:12:14,567
<i>to get me the access
I just asked for.</i>

276
00:12:14,608 --> 00:12:15,568
<i>Don't you?</i>

277
00:12:15,609 --> 00:12:17,903
<i>I know my man. Yeah.</i>

278
00:12:17,945 --> 00:12:19,572
<i>Doesn't mean I think it's right.</i>

279
00:12:19,613 --> 00:12:22,199
<i>Send the damn disclosure.</i>

280
00:12:22,241 --> 00:12:25,578
<i>And then I'll grab you a
big plate of those carrots.</i>

281
00:12:39,467 --> 00:12:40,968
<i>I signed for this.</i>

282
00:12:41,010 --> 00:12:43,053
<i>I didn't realize what
it was when I did.</i>

283
00:12:52,354 --> 00:12:54,607
<i>Son of a bitch.</i>

284
00:12:54,648 --> 00:12:56,776
<i>You got unplowed fields for me?</i>

285
00:12:56,817 --> 00:12:58,611
<i>The wheat's a bit thin, but yes.</i>

286
00:12:58,652 --> 00:13:00,654
<i>We look to whence
the bank comes from.</i>

287
00:13:00,696 --> 00:13:02,364
<i>Go back to check
cashing and payday loans</i>

288
00:13:02,406 --> 00:13:03,949
<i>that the original
company was built on.</i>

289
00:13:03,991 --> 00:13:05,242
<i>Not recommended.</i>

290
00:13:05,284 --> 00:13:06,911
<i>Seems a little low-rent.</i>

291
00:13:06,952 --> 00:13:08,871
<i>[Rian] So are the margins.</i>

292
00:13:08,913 --> 00:13:10,640
<i>But then there's frontier
Rapid Growth Markets...</i>

293
00:13:10,664 --> 00:13:12,458
<i>Vietnam, Nigeria, Indonesia.</i>

294
00:13:12,500 --> 00:13:14,644
<i>Lots of money in places like
that looking for a safe home.</i>

295
00:13:14,668 --> 00:13:16,128
<i>I like RGMs.</i>

296
00:13:16,170 --> 00:13:17,713
<i>But what am I supposed to do?</i>

297
00:13:17,755 --> 00:13:19,715
<i>Put our people on planes
and on video conferences</i>

298
00:13:19,757 --> 00:13:22,468
<i>and start negotiations
with economic ministers?</i>

299
00:13:22,510 --> 00:13:25,471
<i>That's a six months
to a year horizon.</i>

300
00:13:25,513 --> 00:13:27,556
<i>There is cannabis money.</i>

301
00:13:27,598 --> 00:13:28,808
<i>Hmm.</i>

302
00:13:28,849 --> 00:13:30,893
<i>Yes.</i>

303
00:13:30,935 --> 00:13:32,812
<i>It's a multi-billion
dollar space</i>

304
00:13:32,853 --> 00:13:35,481
<i>according to our estimates, as
companies in medical marijuana</i>

305
00:13:35,523 --> 00:13:36,982
<i>are ready to expand
into recreational</i>

306
00:13:37,024 --> 00:13:38,984
<i>as it gets legalized
state by state.</i>

307
00:13:39,026 --> 00:13:40,986
<i>Traditional banks
have been reluctant</i>

308
00:13:41,028 --> 00:13:42,613
<i>to take on and
process this cash.</i>

309
00:13:42,655 --> 00:13:45,533
<i>Sure, sure. I think I love this.</i>

310
00:13:45,574 --> 00:13:46,635
<i>It's got potential.
Unfortunately,</i>

311
00:13:46,659 --> 00:13:47,952
<i>it's a yellow light.</i>

312
00:13:47,993 --> 00:13:49,829
<i>A great opportunity,
but not safe yet</i>

313
00:13:49,870 --> 00:13:52,206
<i>until such time as federal
legislation changes.</i>

314
00:13:52,248 --> 00:13:54,708
<i>It wasn't even supposed to
be mentioned in this meeting.</i>

315
00:13:54,750 --> 00:13:56,168
<i>Yeah, but you did.</i>

316
00:13:56,210 --> 00:13:57,711
<i>Send me everything
you have on it.</i>

317
00:14:11,058 --> 00:14:12,393
<i>Mr. Prince,</i>

318
00:14:12,434 --> 00:14:15,062
<i>I am pleased
that my invitation...</i>

319
00:14:15,104 --> 00:14:16,480
<i>This is an impressive group.</i>

320
00:14:16,522 --> 00:14:18,607
<i>I hope the intention
is as serious</i>

321
00:14:18,649 --> 00:14:21,151
<i>as I was led to
believe, Mr. Rhoades.</i>

322
00:14:21,193 --> 00:14:23,362
<i>Serious and elevating, I trust.</i>

323
00:14:23,404 --> 00:14:25,322
<i>And, uh, call me Chuck, please.</i>

324
00:14:25,364 --> 00:14:26,699
<i>And you call me Mike.</i>

325
00:14:26,740 --> 00:14:27,950
<i>All of you.</i>

326
00:14:27,992 --> 00:14:31,203
<i>Well, welcome to my home, Mike.</i>

327
00:14:31,245 --> 00:14:35,374
<i>And to this chapter
of a great tradition,</i>

328
00:14:35,416 --> 00:14:37,543
<i>the Jeffersonian dinner.</i>

329
00:14:37,585 --> 00:14:40,880
<i>A further evolution of it
anyway, aided by WebEx.</i>

330
00:14:42,047 --> 00:14:44,216
<i>Though separated
by circumstance,</i>

331
00:14:44,258 --> 00:14:47,845
<i>there's no reason our
exchange of ideas has to be... Ah!</i>

332
00:14:47,887 --> 00:14:51,932
<i>And we will dine
as the founders did,</i>

333
00:14:51,974 --> 00:14:53,726
<i>with heritage birds.</i>

334
00:14:53,767 --> 00:14:56,228
<i>Has the same unaltered
genetic makeup as the turkeys</i>

335
00:14:56,270 --> 00:14:59,440
<i>that roam the Shenandoah
Valley in Long Tom's day,</i>

336
00:14:59,481 --> 00:15:02,359
<i>as my remote emissaries
have set up for you.</i>

337
00:15:02,401 --> 00:15:04,361
<i>Yes, thank you very much.</i>

338
00:15:04,403 --> 00:15:06,572
<i>I'm surprised you're not in
a powdered wig and tricorn.</i>

339
00:15:06,614 --> 00:15:08,532
<i>Don't think he
didn't consider it.</i>

340
00:15:10,159 --> 00:15:12,328
<i>We will honor this custom
going back to the days</i>

341
00:15:12,369 --> 00:15:14,663
<i>of the founders
when leading citizens,</i>

342
00:15:14,705 --> 00:15:17,374
<i>both public and private,</i>

343
00:15:17,416 --> 00:15:21,295
<i>reviewed and sometimes

00:15:21,337 --> 00:15:24,256
<i>This will be a "one
mind" conversation</i>

345
00:15:24,298 --> 00:15:25,925
<i>with everyone taking turns,</i>

346
00:15:25,966 --> 00:15:28,886
<i>no real interlocution or
crosstalk except by me.</i>

347
00:15:28,928 --> 00:15:30,888
<i>I will be our guide.</i>

348
00:15:30,930 --> 00:15:33,265
<i>And tonight's topic is...</i>

349
00:15:34,391 --> 00:15:35,768
<i>Liberty.</i>

350
00:15:49,615 --> 00:15:51,784
<i>-Liberty, law.</i>

351
00:15:56,830 --> 00:15:59,416
<i>Big words to unpack.</i>

352
00:15:59,458 --> 00:16:01,543
<i>Either could be a
night's work. A week's.</i>

353
00:16:01,585 --> 00:16:03,396
<i>It's like trying to understand
the difference in tone</i>

354
00:16:03,420 --> 00:16:05,089
<i>between Match Game
and Match Game, PM.</i>

355
00:16:05,130 --> 00:16:06,590
<i>-Well, the key there was</i>

356
00:16:06,632 --> 00:16:08,634
<i>which ascot Charles
Nelson Reilly wore,</i>

357
00:16:08,676 --> 00:16:10,316
<i>but this is not the
time to look into that</i>

358
00:16:10,344 --> 00:16:11,303
<i>or the question.</i>

359
00:16:11,345 --> 00:16:13,973
<i>Again, no cross talk.</i>

360
00:16:14,014 --> 00:16:16,850
<i>Um, and we will keep
to Chatham House rule.</i>

361
00:16:16,892 --> 00:16:19,812
<i>So, uh, you can use
any info you glean here,</i>

362
00:16:19,853 --> 00:16:21,188
<i>but not for attribution.</i>

363
00:16:21,230 --> 00:16:23,273
<i>Can I get a nod
of assent to same?</i>

364
00:16:23,315 --> 00:16:28,529
<i>Uh, premise.</i>

365
00:16:28,570 --> 00:16:30,155
<i>- Two ways...
- I tried him, but</i>

366
00:16:30,197 --> 00:16:32,408
<i>you're the one who
sent me this garbage.</i>

367
00:16:32,449 --> 00:16:36,787
<i>Uh, banking laws are
a threat to liberty or</i>

368
00:16:36,829 --> 00:16:39,665
<i>banks without regulation
are the true threat to liberty.</i>

369
00:16:39,707 --> 00:16:42,668
<i>First, are we a
people at liberty?</i>

370
00:16:42,710 --> 00:16:44,837
<i>Then, are we free to bank</i>

371
00:16:44,878 --> 00:16:46,964
<i>- how we want?
- [Sweeney] Right, yeah.</i>

372
00:16:47,006 --> 00:16:48,590
<i>I have some thoughts on this.</i>

373
00:16:48,632 --> 00:16:50,634
<i>Um, freedom...</i>

374
00:16:50,676 --> 00:16:52,469
<i>Chuck, you need to take this.</i>

375
00:16:52,511 --> 00:16:54,346
<i>Let's start with the,
uh, premise that...</i>

376
00:16:54,388 --> 00:16:56,548
<i>It's a reflex. She calls, I
have to answer. It's Wendy.</i>

377
00:17:00,060 --> 00:17:01,603
<i>We need to talk.</i>

378
00:17:01,645 --> 00:17:04,857
<i>- Can't it wait?
- You didn't.</i>

379
00:17:04,898 --> 00:17:08,360
<i>Uh, folks, I'll need
a moment before</i>

380
00:17:08,402 --> 00:17:10,195
<i>we continue our colloquy.</i>

381
00:17:12,865 --> 00:17:14,825
<i>I'm in the midst of a
Jeffersonian dinner.</i>

382
00:17:14,867 --> 00:17:17,119
<i>You hit me with a
goddamn subpoena.</i>

383
00:17:17,161 --> 00:17:18,495
<i>A demand for disclosure</i>

384
00:17:18,537 --> 00:17:20,080
<i>as is within my rights.</i>

385
00:17:20,122 --> 00:17:21,749
<i>I care not a whit,
as you might put it.</i>

386
00:17:21,790 --> 00:17:23,500
<i>What I do care about
is what are you trying</i>

387
00:17:23,542 --> 00:17:25,062
<i>to get out of this
look under the hood?</i>

388
00:17:26,253 --> 00:17:27,713
<i>Fair play.</i>

389
00:17:27,755 --> 00:17:29,798
<i>Getting what I am
owed. Simple as that.</i>

390
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,860
<i>We had an independent
valuator come up with that number.</i>

391
00:17:31,884 --> 00:17:33,719
<i>Our very own Jonathan Mardukas.</i>

392
00:17:33,761 --> 00:17:35,554
<i>Who knows what kind of circles</i>

393
00:17:35,596 --> 00:17:37,514
<i>your in-house
accountant spun him in?</i>

394
00:17:37,556 --> 00:17:39,516
<i>No. This is about control</i>

395
00:17:39,558 --> 00:17:41,226
<i>over me one last time.</i>

396
00:17:41,268 --> 00:17:43,228
<i>Or is it part of your
endless pursuit of Axe?</i>

397
00:17:43,270 --> 00:17:44,581
<i>- Hmm.
- What, you want a Trojan Horse</i>

398
00:17:44,605 --> 00:17:45,814
<i>into his books?</i>

399
00:17:45,856 --> 00:17:47,983
<i>No plan. Do you want to be done?</i>

400
00:17:48,025 --> 00:17:49,568
<i>Then let's be done. Pay me off.</i>

401
00:17:49,610 --> 00:17:52,362
<i>Lump sum in the next 48 hours.</i>

402
00:17:52,404 --> 00:17:54,406
<i>Forty-eight hours?</i>

403
00:17:54,448 --> 00:17:56,492
<i>For that kind of money?</i>

404
00:17:56,533 --> 00:17:58,994
<i>Or I'll be in first thing
next week to take a gander.</i>

405
00:17:59,036 --> 00:18:00,829
<i>Or a perusal.</i>

406
00:18:00,871 --> 00:18:02,307
<i>Or maybe I'll just take a
piece of the company. Hmm?</i>

407
00:18:02,331 --> 00:18:03,999
<i>There's no way that's happening.</i>

408
00:18:04,041 --> 00:18:05,542
<i>These are reasonable options.</i>

409
00:18:05,584 --> 00:18:07,127
<i>It's either the Burt
Reynolds Spreader</i>

410
00:18:07,169 --> 00:18:08,796
<i>or a go-away pay off.</i>

411
00:18:08,837 --> 00:18:10,714
<i>The divorce judge
will see that as fair.</i>

412
00:18:10,756 --> 00:18:12,466
<i>Because it is.</i>

413
00:18:24,728 --> 00:18:26,105
<i>Hi.</i>

414
00:18:26,980 --> 00:18:28,148
<i>Chelz, welcome.</i>

415
00:18:31,235 --> 00:18:33,904
<i>I'm so glad you're
here. Come with me.</i>

416
00:18:41,537 --> 00:18:42,722
<i>I'm sorry I couldn't
get away, but...</i>

417
00:18:42,746 --> 00:18:44,206
<i>I didn't wanna cancel.</i>

418
00:18:44,248 --> 00:18:46,125
<i>More like you're
worried people my age</i>

419
00:18:46,166 --> 00:18:47,543
<i>have a short attention span</i>

420
00:18:47,584 --> 00:18:49,419
<i>and I would forget about you,</i>

421
00:18:49,461 --> 00:18:51,130
<i>if you canceled.</i>

422
00:18:51,171 --> 00:18:53,674
<i>But don't stress.
You've got my attention.</i>

423
00:18:55,509 --> 00:18:56,509
<i>At least for now.</i>

424
00:18:57,803 --> 00:19:00,055
<i>Is this weird?</i>

425
00:19:00,097 --> 00:19:01,473
<i>I hope it's not weird.</i>

426
00:19:02,683 --> 00:19:04,476
<i>It's a little weird.</i>

427
00:19:05,561 --> 00:19:06,561
<i>Cheers.</i>

428
00:19:07,354 --> 00:19:08,730
<i>Cheers.</i>

429
00:19:08,772 --> 00:19:10,649
<i>I need you to go after gold,</i>

430
00:19:10,691 --> 00:19:12,609
<i>gold deposits that is.</i>

431
00:19:12,651 --> 00:19:15,946
<i>We get credits for
FDIC-insured deposits.</i>

432
00:19:15,988 --> 00:19:18,949
<i>But there's a limit of</i>
-<i>250 - K per account.</i>

433
00:19:18,991 --> 00:19:21,076
<i>So I need you to call
everybody on the master list</i>

434
00:19:21,118 --> 00:19:23,120
<i>who's got more than that</i>

435
00:19:23,162 --> 00:19:25,622
<i>and make 'em break down their
accounts into multiple accounts</i>

436
00:19:25,664 --> 00:19:27,416
<i>of under 250.</i>

437
00:19:27,457 --> 00:19:28,977
<i>Put 'em in their wives'
names, kids' names,</i>

438
00:19:29,001 --> 00:19:31,378
<i>businesses, LLCs, corps.</i>

439
00:19:31,420 --> 00:19:35,090
<i>That sounds...
well, I'll just say it.</i>

440
00:19:35,132 --> 00:19:36,842
<i>Over the line.</i>

441
00:19:36,884 --> 00:19:40,429
<i>In our world, you're either
driven by greed or fear.</i>

442
00:19:40,470 --> 00:19:41,847
<i>If you picked fear,</i>

443
00:19:41,889 --> 00:19:42,806
<i>I don't know why you're even in</i>

444
00:19:42,848 --> 00:19:44,016
<i>that fucking building.</i>

445
00:19:49,605 --> 00:19:51,481
<i>I gotta take a call.
So go get creative.</i>

446
00:19:52,858 --> 00:19:54,526
<i>Did you get my text?</i>

447
00:19:54,568 --> 00:19:56,528
<i>- So who's there?
- Chuck's at the head.</i>

448
00:19:56,570 --> 00:19:58,447
<i>- Of course.
- Ira was next to him</i>

449
00:19:58,488 --> 00:20:00,032
<i>and Prince on the other side.</i>

450
00:20:00,073 --> 00:20:02,159
<i>- Son of a bitch.
- That's what I said.</i>

451
00:20:02,201 --> 00:20:03,869
<i>Senator Vanderveer
and Governor Sweeney</i>

452
00:20:03,911 --> 00:20:05,221
<i>and the rest of them
were up on the board.</i>

453
00:20:05,245 --> 00:20:07,039
<i>They were sitting
down to dinner,</i>

454
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,625
<i>but it looked like a major
fuckin' initiative to me.</i>

455
00:20:09,666 --> 00:20:11,144
<i>There was an empty seat,
too. I'm not sure for who.</i>

456
00:20:11,168 --> 00:20:13,170
<i>I... I couldn't see the placard.</i>

457
00:20:13,212 --> 00:20:15,714
<i>So tell me exactly what it was
you overheard Chuck saying.</i>

458
00:20:15,756 --> 00:20:18,050
<i>"Premise, two ways."</i>

459
00:20:18,091 --> 00:20:20,052
<i>Banking laws are
a threat to liberty,</i>

460
00:20:20,093 --> 00:20:22,012
<i>or banks without regulation are</i>

461
00:20:22,054 --> 00:20:23,722
<i>"the true threat to liberty."</i>

462
00:20:23,764 --> 00:20:26,225
<i>First, are we a
people at liberty?</i>

463
00:20:26,266 --> 00:20:28,769
<i>Then, are we free to
bank how we want?</i>

464
00:20:28,810 --> 00:20:30,854
<i>Yeah, premise.</i>

465
00:20:30,896 --> 00:20:32,522
<i>It's a fucking attack on me.</i>

466
00:20:32,564 --> 00:20:34,066
<i>I'm gonna Sherlock
Holmes this thing</i>

467
00:20:34,107 --> 00:20:35,192
<i>until I figure it out.</i>

468
00:20:48,455 --> 00:20:50,249
<i>Yeah?</i>

469
00:20:50,290 --> 00:20:51,935
<i>[Axe] I'm calling you
as my banking trustee.</i>

470
00:20:51,959 --> 00:20:54,419
<i>Seems like your son is
having a soiree tonight.</i>

471
00:20:54,461 --> 00:20:55,921
<i>And your invite must have</i>

472
00:20:55,963 --> 00:20:58,298
<i>gotten caught up
in the spam filter.</i>

473
00:20:58,340 --> 00:21:00,801
<i>Feels like it's a
meeting of my enemies</i>

474
00:21:00,842 --> 00:21:02,386
<i>arrayed against me.</i>

475
00:21:02,427 --> 00:21:05,264
<i>So I need you to crash
and send me dispatches.</i>

476
00:21:05,305 --> 00:21:07,349
<i>Copy that.</i>

477
00:21:07,391 --> 00:21:09,309
<i>Doc, am I game ready?</i>

478
00:21:10,602 --> 00:21:12,688
<i>Like Julius Erving in 76, baby.</i>

479
00:21:14,648 --> 00:21:15,691
<i>In.</i>

480
00:21:15,732 --> 00:21:17,401
<i>Good.</i>

481
00:21:17,442 --> 00:21:19,111
<i>I know I said, I'd take you to.</i>

482
00:21:19,152 --> 00:21:20,612
<i>Tom Colicchoi's new restaurant.</i>

483
00:21:20,654 --> 00:21:22,656
<i>- Yeah.
- But don't be disappointed.</i>

484
00:21:24,157 --> 00:21:26,618
<i>I brought Tom Colicchio to you.</i>

485
00:21:28,578 --> 00:21:30,372
<i>-Hey, Wags. How you doin'? Chef.</i>

486
00:21:30,414 --> 00:21:31,790
<i>Good evening.</i>

487
00:21:31,832 --> 00:21:34,126
<i>So this is a dish
that I created back</i>

488
00:21:34,167 --> 00:21:35,794
<i>when I was at Gramercy Tavern,</i>

489
00:21:35,836 --> 00:21:37,480
<i>and I thought I'd
revive it for this evening.</i>

490
00:21:37,504 --> 00:21:40,257
<i>It's a pea purée
with a fondue of crab.</i>

491
00:21:40,299 --> 00:21:42,676
<i>There's some bacon,
a little bit of sumac,</i>

492
00:21:42,718 --> 00:21:44,803
<i>and pink peppercorns. Enjoy.</i>

493
00:21:44,845 --> 00:21:46,096
<i>Chef, you're a genius.</i>

494
00:21:46,138 --> 00:21:47,472
<i>Thank you.</i>

495
00:21:49,516 --> 00:21:51,643
<i>Hmm. Smell that broth.</i>

496
00:21:52,227 --> 00:21:53,812
<i>Uh-mm.</i>

497
00:21:53,854 --> 00:21:55,647
<i>Wagner.</i>

498
00:21:55,689 --> 00:21:57,899
<i>I'm here to get you ship-shape
on banking regulation.</i>

499
00:21:59,318 --> 00:22:00,986
<i>Hard Bob.</i>

500
00:22:01,028 --> 00:22:03,155
<i>I thought the usual whiff
of bullshit had dissipated.</i>

501
00:22:03,196 --> 00:22:07,075
<i>My mind is a repository
of FDIC rules and regs.</i>

502
00:22:07,117 --> 00:22:08,493
<i>I don't need any help.</i>

503
00:22:08,535 --> 00:22:10,412
<i>But I will certainly
ask you if I do.</i>

504
00:22:10,454 --> 00:22:12,831
<i>How will fee structure
and annual percentage rate</i>

505
00:22:12,873 --> 00:22:15,834
<i>calculations be
disclosed to consumers</i>

506
00:22:15,876 --> 00:22:19,755
<i>to ensure compliance with
the truth in lending statutes?</i>

507
00:22:22,549 --> 00:22:25,177
<i>Let's not bore the lady
with these tedious questions.</i>

508
00:22:25,218 --> 00:22:26,511
<i>Come with me.</i>

509
00:22:26,553 --> 00:22:28,764
<i>I will parry these
softballs and more.</i>

510
00:22:30,015 --> 00:22:31,516
<i>Let me handle this tinhorn.</i>

511
00:22:31,558 --> 00:22:33,685
<i>Why don't you make
a TikTok or something?</i>

512
00:22:35,729 --> 00:22:38,857
<i>How would you ensure
that error resolution policies</i>

513
00:22:38,899 --> 00:22:40,525
<i>remain within
the guidelines of...</i>

514
00:22:40,567 --> 00:22:41,860
<i>Look, you've made your point.</i>

515
00:22:41,902 --> 00:22:43,528
<i>I'm lost in the fuckin' weeds.</i>

516
00:22:43,570 --> 00:22:45,030
<i>I need you to coach me.</i>

517
00:22:45,072 --> 00:22:48,200
<i>But privately, not in
front of my lady friend.</i>

518
00:22:48,241 --> 00:22:49,552
<i>I will have the
documents brought to you,</i>

519
00:22:49,576 --> 00:22:51,870
<i>and we can start tomorrow.</i>

520
00:22:51,912 --> 00:22:53,413
<i>All right.</i>

521
00:22:54,790 --> 00:22:57,709
<i>Hey, Wags, can you come down?</i>

522
00:22:57,751 --> 00:23:01,213
<i>Look, in business, I've always
been a fan of proper regulation.</i>

523
00:23:01,254 --> 00:23:02,339
<i>A level playing field.</i>

524
00:23:02,381 --> 00:23:04,883
<i>I feed on fair competition.</i>

525
00:23:04,925 --> 00:23:07,636
<i>And I feel the same way about
my latest venture, Hypercube,</i>

526
00:23:07,677 --> 00:23:09,304
<i>which is the digital equivalent</i>

527
00:23:09,346 --> 00:23:11,515
<i>of a brick-and-mortar
bank for today and beyond.</i>

528
00:23:11,556 --> 00:23:14,059
<i>So for the purposes
of our conversation,</i>

529
00:23:14,101 --> 00:23:15,894
<i>I'll call myself a banker.</i>

530
00:23:15,936 --> 00:23:17,354
<i>And as such, I have to say,</i>

531
00:23:17,396 --> 00:23:18,980
<i>there must be a
limit to the strangling</i>

532
00:23:19,022 --> 00:23:21,066
<i>regulation certain
factions propose...</i>

533
00:23:21,108 --> 00:23:23,402
<i>Whoa... Sorry to interrupt.</i>

534
00:23:23,443 --> 00:23:25,529
<i>I thought we had
plans tonight, son.</i>

535
00:23:25,570 --> 00:23:28,073
<i>Must have gotten
my dates crossed.</i>

536
00:23:28,115 --> 00:23:29,324
<i>-No, we didn't, Dad.</i>

537
00:23:29,366 --> 00:23:30,742
<i>We have none.</i>

538
00:23:30,784 --> 00:23:33,537
<i>Marcia, you look radiant.</i>

539
00:23:33,578 --> 00:23:36,581
<i>And you look the
picture of health, Charles.</i>

540
00:23:36,623 --> 00:23:38,083
<i>Oh, that's thanks to me.</i>

541
00:23:38,125 --> 00:23:39,418
<i>He's my medical man.</i>

542
00:23:39,459 --> 00:23:40,919
<i>Yeah, I keep his meds straight,</i>

543
00:23:40,961 --> 00:23:42,504
<i>his rod straighter
and his nose clean.</i>

544
00:23:42,546 --> 00:23:44,339
<i>Well, that part's up to him.</i>

545
00:23:44,381 --> 00:23:46,466
<i>Well, uh,</i>

546
00:23:46,508 --> 00:23:49,553
<i>now that you're here, you
might as well post up there.</i>

547
00:23:49,594 --> 00:23:52,806
<i>Really? No, I... I don't want
to put you to any trouble.</i>

548
00:23:52,848 --> 00:23:54,283
<i>Dad, I'm sorry,
it's a private affair,</i>

549
00:23:54,307 --> 00:23:56,435
<i>but you can get a
plate and fall back.</i>

550
00:23:56,476 --> 00:23:59,438
<i>And our event has a
strict subset of rules.</i>

551
00:23:59,479 --> 00:24:02,691
<i>So I'm going to have
to insist on your silence.</i>

552
00:24:02,732 --> 00:24:05,110
<i>- I'm Helen fucking Keller.
- Mmm.</i>

553
00:24:08,321 --> 00:24:11,199
<i>Well, Dad, it's great
to have you with us.</i>

554
00:24:11,241 --> 00:24:13,160
<i>-I can't believe</i>

555
00:24:13,201 --> 00:24:14,786
<i>you fuckin' showed
up here uninvited.</i>

556
00:24:14,828 --> 00:24:16,913
<i>The only reason I'm
not kicking you out</i>

557
00:24:16,955 --> 00:24:19,016
<i>is 'cause I can't do that in
front of my vaunted guests.</i>

558
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,126
<i>Then I guess when
it comes to whist,</i>

559
00:24:21,168 --> 00:24:23,128
<i>I'm still the one
takin' the most tricks.</i>

560
00:24:34,514 --> 00:24:38,810
<i>So... what are we choppin' up?</i>

561
00:24:44,357 --> 00:24:46,151
<i>Talk to me.</i>

562
00:24:46,193 --> 00:24:47,819
<i>Yeah, Axe, it's
the fucking doctor.</i>

563
00:24:47,861 --> 00:24:50,155
<i>I got a message for
you from the patient.</i>

564
00:24:50,197 --> 00:24:53,366
<i>The Prince is
takin' it to the bank.</i>

565
00:24:53,408 --> 00:24:55,118
<i>Is anybody listening
to you there?</i>

566
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,287
<i>- No.
- Then don't speak in code.</i>

567
00:24:57,329 --> 00:25:01,166
<i>I'm saying the Prince
is taking it to the...</i>

568
00:25:01,208 --> 00:25:03,585
<i>You mean he has a
bank? Prince does?</i>

569
00:25:03,627 --> 00:25:05,086
<i>Okay, you know
what? We're gonna do</i>

570
00:25:05,128 --> 00:25:07,288
<i>a quick little hearing test
when we meet. No, we're not.</i>

571
00:25:18,308 --> 00:25:19,768
<i>I have just received reassurance</i>

572
00:25:19,809 --> 00:25:22,062
<i>that Judge DeGiulio
is still coming.</i>

573
00:25:22,103 --> 00:25:23,688
<i>So are we expected to go on</i>

574
00:25:23,730 --> 00:25:25,374
<i>like we're in colonial
times until he does,</i>

575
00:25:25,398 --> 00:25:26,792
<i>or can we have a
regular conversation?</i>

576
00:25:26,816 --> 00:25:28,693
<i>No one forced you to come.</i>

577
00:25:28,735 --> 00:25:30,862
<i>I... I have to admit I
took pause at having</i>

578
00:25:30,904 --> 00:25:32,864
<i>a stark raving capitalist
here in the first place.</i>

579
00:25:32,906 --> 00:25:34,366
<i>But then I listened to</i>

580
00:25:34,407 --> 00:25:36,660
<i>some of our esteemed
guests and relented.</i>

581
00:25:36,701 --> 00:25:38,453
<i>An Attorney General
who actually listens.</i>

582
00:25:38,495 --> 00:25:39,704
<i>A novel concept for our age.</i>

583
00:25:45,669 --> 00:25:47,337
<i>We have to deal
with this [sighs]...</i>

584
00:25:47,379 --> 00:25:48,880
<i>directly.</i>

585
00:25:48,922 --> 00:25:50,715
<i>You said, "Yellow light" to Axe.</i>

586
00:25:50,757 --> 00:25:52,902
<i>But the research I gave you
said clearly that cannabis money</i>

587
00:25:52,926 --> 00:25:54,678
<i>is a red light for
banks at this moment.</i>

588
00:25:54,719 --> 00:25:55,863
<i>We agreed we
wouldn't even pitch it.</i>

589
00:25:55,887 --> 00:25:57,556
<i>And that was after I said</i>

590
00:25:57,597 --> 00:25:58,557
<i>I didn't want to pitch
anything bank-related</i>

591
00:25:58,598 --> 00:26:00,559
<i>but you said we had to,</i>

592
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,245
<i>- so I... I don't understand.
- And now you wanna know what?</i>

593
00:26:02,269 --> 00:26:04,437
<i>Why throw the scroogie
when you called for the heater?</i>

594
00:26:04,479 --> 00:26:07,190
<i>I... I pitched softball for
one season in college.</i>

595
00:26:07,232 --> 00:26:08,817
<i>My out pitch was
a sinker dropped off</i>

596
00:26:08,858 --> 00:26:10,652
<i>the table like a brick.</i>

597
00:26:10,694 --> 00:26:12,672
<i>And yeah, if my catcher
and I got crossed up like that,</i>

598
00:26:12,696 --> 00:26:14,322
<i>I'd expect her to
come to the mound.</i>

599
00:26:14,364 --> 00:26:15,740
<i>As I am.</i>

600
00:26:15,782 --> 00:26:17,659
<i>Why give wrong
info to the Axe Man?</i>

601
00:26:17,701 --> 00:26:19,536
<i>We didn't tell him to buy.</i>

602
00:26:19,578 --> 00:26:21,913
<i>Are you working against
him? For yourself?</i>

603
00:26:23,665 --> 00:26:25,417
<i>I can't help if I don't know.</i>

604
00:26:25,458 --> 00:26:26,960
<i>Are you going to make
sure Mase Carbon</i>

605
00:26:27,002 --> 00:26:28,229
<i>stays independent
no matter what?</i>

606
00:26:28,253 --> 00:26:30,755
<i>This is the "trust me" piece.</i>

607
00:26:30,797 --> 00:26:33,216
<i>As a person? Or as a boss?</i>

608
00:26:33,258 --> 00:26:35,427
<i>Like in one of those
good sushi places</i>

609
00:26:35,468 --> 00:26:36,386
<i>where they won't
make substitutions</i>

610
00:26:36,428 --> 00:26:38,221
<i>or California rolls.</i>

611
00:26:38,263 --> 00:26:40,599
<i>You're in safe hands when
I serve you the quail egg.</i>

612
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,851
<i>Uh... I'm not
working for a bank.</i>

613
00:26:42,892 --> 00:26:46,271
<i>Banks are bad. Not good
bad or fun bad, just bad.</i>

614
00:26:46,313 --> 00:26:47,439
<i>And boring.</i>

615
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,108
<i>I give you my word.</i>

616
00:26:50,150 --> 00:26:52,527
<i>We'll see what that's worth.</i>

617
00:26:58,992 --> 00:27:00,744
<i>Thanks for the intel on Chuck's.</i>

618
00:27:00,785 --> 00:27:03,121
<i>I think I'm starting to
know what's going on.</i>

619
00:27:04,956 --> 00:27:06,541
<i>I owe you.</i>

620
00:27:09,419 --> 00:27:14,382
<i>So... I admit it. Yes.</i>

621
00:27:14,424 --> 00:27:16,301
<i>The Tanner thing was about you.</i>

622
00:27:18,428 --> 00:27:20,889
<i>I just thought, this guy's
full of shit. Marketable.</i>

623
00:27:20,930 --> 00:27:24,559
<i>But a dime-store Pollock
with a full head of greasy hair.</i>

624
00:27:24,601 --> 00:27:26,811
<i>And I wanted you to
see it sooner than later</i>

625
00:27:26,853 --> 00:27:28,313
<i>before you got badly hurt.</i>

626
00:27:28,355 --> 00:27:30,982
<i>So I... I exposed him.</i>

627
00:27:31,024 --> 00:27:33,693
<i>You'd have seen it within
weeks if I did nothing.</i>

628
00:27:35,862 --> 00:27:38,031
<i>If that's true, I
could see my way</i>

629
00:27:38,073 --> 00:27:42,952
<i>to appreciating...
it... the intent,</i>

630
00:27:42,994 --> 00:27:44,913
<i>but...</i>

631
00:27:44,954 --> 00:27:46,665
<i>- There are other ways.
- Yeah, now look,</i>

632
00:27:46,706 --> 00:27:48,458
<i>I am not saying I
was thinking clearly</i>

633
00:27:48,500 --> 00:27:50,669
<i>or that I even knew,
exactly, what I was doing.</i>

634
00:27:50,710 --> 00:27:53,004
<i>But since you
mentioned it this morning,</i>

635
00:27:54,547 --> 00:27:56,591
<i>you know, I've
been chewing on it.</i>

636
00:27:56,633 --> 00:27:58,677
<i>So I had to tell you.</i>

637
00:28:01,346 --> 00:28:04,307
<i>Sorry to interrupt.
But I need you.</i>

638
00:28:04,349 --> 00:28:05,558
<i>You looking for me, Orrin?</i>

639
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,560
<i>Not you. Her.</i>

640
00:28:07,602 --> 00:28:10,313
<i>Okay. Well, Wend,</i>

641
00:28:10,355 --> 00:28:12,899
<i>you and I will finish
this convo later.</i>

642
00:28:12,941 --> 00:28:15,193
<i>That we will.</i>

643
00:28:18,822 --> 00:28:20,782
<i>You don't have the liquid assets</i>

644
00:28:20,824 --> 00:28:22,575
<i>to pay out Chuck,
lump sum right now.</i>

645
00:28:22,617 --> 00:28:26,329
<i>I can fight off his demand
for a week or so, but...</i>

646
00:28:26,371 --> 00:28:28,415
<i>he's going to get in.</i>

647
00:28:43,179 --> 00:28:45,974
<i>I see the trading of
blows has begun already.</i>

648
00:28:46,015 --> 00:28:48,143
<i>Don't tell me I
caught you off guard?</i>

649
00:28:48,184 --> 00:28:50,465
<i>I just want to make sure you
are ready to parry my attack.</i>

650
00:28:51,271 --> 00:28:53,064
<i>Like Louden Swain himself.</i>

651
00:28:53,106 --> 00:28:54,524
<i>And I want to make
sure you are able</i>

652
00:28:54,566 --> 00:28:56,317
<i>to deliver the
Solicitor General.</i>

653
00:28:56,359 --> 00:28:57,736
<i>He's pretty darn key here.</i>

654
00:28:57,777 --> 00:28:59,738
<i>To our own vision quest, yes.</i>

655
00:28:59,779 --> 00:29:01,740
<i>DeGiulio will be here.</i>

656
00:29:01,781 --> 00:29:03,992
<i>But as to where he'll
land, I am less confident.</i>

657
00:29:04,033 --> 00:29:05,744
<i>He's formidable.
A veritable Shute.</i>

658
00:29:05,785 --> 00:29:08,580
<i>I'll get his shoulders
down for the three count.</i>

659
00:29:08,621 --> 00:29:11,040
<i>Best of luck to you on that.</i>

660
00:29:21,009 --> 00:29:23,136
<i>I haven't seen you
leave your office.</i>

661
00:29:23,178 --> 00:29:25,513
<i>Is that your way of
asking if I've had dinner?</i>

662
00:29:25,555 --> 00:29:27,766
<i>You're usually more direct.</i>

663
00:29:27,807 --> 00:29:29,434
<i>To go see Axe.</i>

664
00:29:29,476 --> 00:29:30,578
<i>To tell him that you're
choosing Mase Carb.</i>

665
00:29:30,602 --> 00:29:31,936
<i>I'm considering his offer</i>

666
00:29:31,978 --> 00:29:34,647
<i>to work for Axe Bank.</i>

667
00:29:34,689 --> 00:29:36,232
<i>I see.</i>

668
00:29:36,274 --> 00:29:37,734
<i>When you factor in your bonus,</i>

669
00:29:37,776 --> 00:29:39,170
<i>you'd make less
there than you do here.</i>

670
00:29:39,194 --> 00:29:40,504
<i>What tempts you
about his offer that</i>

671
00:29:40,528 --> 00:29:41,946
<i>I won't be able to match?</i>

672
00:29:41,988 --> 00:29:43,823
<i>Stability.</i>

673
00:29:43,865 --> 00:29:45,909
<i>Working here, we're
always fighting for our lives.</i>

674
00:29:45,950 --> 00:29:47,952
<i>Don't get me wrong,
I love a challenge,</i>

675
00:29:47,994 --> 00:29:50,205
<i>the thrill of a big win
when we land new money.</i>

676
00:29:50,246 --> 00:29:52,499
<i>Oof, it's like hitting
your number in roulette</i>

677
00:29:52,540 --> 00:29:54,918
<i>and letting it ride. But
you keep that up and...</i>

678
00:29:54,959 --> 00:29:58,087
<i>You'd rather be the house.</i>

679
00:29:58,129 --> 00:30:00,298
<i>You don't ask me a lot
about my life before we met,</i>

680
00:30:00,340 --> 00:30:02,091
<i>and I like that.</i>

681
00:30:02,133 --> 00:30:04,636
<i>I figure your own past is
full of difficult memories</i>

682
00:30:04,677 --> 00:30:06,471
<i>you'd rather not retread,</i>

683
00:30:06,513 --> 00:30:08,073
<i>and you're extending
me the same courtesy.</i>

684
00:30:08,097 --> 00:30:09,933
<i>You're right. I
don't like to pry.</i>

685
00:30:09,974 --> 00:30:11,243
<i>But I want you to feel
comfortable sharing</i>

686
00:30:11,267 --> 00:30:12,727
<i>anything with me.</i>

687
00:30:14,604 --> 00:30:19,484
<i>When I was 12 years
old, my dad found Jesus.</i>

688
00:30:19,526 --> 00:30:22,570
<i>He left a lucrative career
in advertising for the pulpit.</i>

689
00:30:22,612 --> 00:30:24,989
<i>He said he couldn't stand
another day of writing jingles</i>

690
00:30:25,031 --> 00:30:28,159
<i>that people could
whistle on their way to hell.</i>

691
00:30:28,201 --> 00:30:32,789
<i>He wanted to climb
Jacob's Ladder instead.</i>

692
00:30:32,831 --> 00:30:35,792
<i>He threw our whole family
into debt. We lost our house.</i>

693
00:30:35,834 --> 00:30:39,337
<i>I worked my way through
college, and I still have loans.</i>

694
00:30:39,379 --> 00:30:41,464
<i>I appreciate your
sharing that with me.</i>

695
00:30:41,506 --> 00:30:43,842
<i>But it leaves me wondering
what we've been doing</i>

696
00:30:43,883 --> 00:30:45,468
<i>this whole time together, then,</i>

697
00:30:45,510 --> 00:30:47,029
<i>if you never felt
secure or provided for.</i>

698
00:30:47,053 --> 00:30:49,472
<i>So maybe I have
some trust issues too,</i>

699
00:30:49,514 --> 00:30:51,975
<i>but that's not all of it.</i>

700
00:30:52,016 --> 00:30:54,686
<i>I don't want to be
dependent on you.</i>

701
00:30:54,727 --> 00:30:58,147
<i>I can't count on you
providing for me forever.</i>

702
00:30:58,189 --> 00:31:00,316
<i>That's not fair to
either one of us.</i>

703
00:31:00,358 --> 00:31:03,820
<i>I need to be able
to provide for myself.</i>

704
00:31:03,862 --> 00:31:07,657
<i>God never made any sense to
me. Neither did heaven or hell.</i>

705
00:31:07,699 --> 00:31:09,158
<i>But the markets do.</i>

706
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:10,803
<i>You are punished or
rewarded as you deserve.</i>

707
00:31:10,827 --> 00:31:12,537
<i>It's not up to anyone's whim.</i>

708
00:31:12,579 --> 00:31:15,456
<i>That's the kind of stability
I can devote my life to.</i>

709
00:31:27,385 --> 00:31:30,305
<i>Let's get into the far
reaches of liberty and the law.</i>

710
00:31:30,346 --> 00:31:32,557
<i>Marijuana, specifically.</i>

711
00:31:32,599 --> 00:31:34,851
<i>Legalization as
a form of liberty</i>

712
00:31:34,893 --> 00:31:36,352
<i>and a source of tax revenue?</i>

713
00:31:36,394 --> 00:31:39,230
<i>Or is it a furtherance
of moral decay</i>

714
00:31:39,272 --> 00:31:42,066
<i>that needs to be curtailed
in order to preserve</i>

715
00:31:42,108 --> 00:31:43,902
<i>liberty of thought?</i>

716
00:31:43,943 --> 00:31:46,029
<i>Let me kick this off, 'cause
I have something to say.</i>

717
00:31:46,070 --> 00:31:49,908
<i>-Legalization, I'm for it,
and... I don't know, man.</i>

718
00:31:49,949 --> 00:31:51,534
<i>Say what you will
about moral decay...</i>

719
00:31:51,576 --> 00:31:53,262
<i>- Excuse me...
- But you don't know true freedom</i>

720
00:31:53,286 --> 00:31:54,889
<i>until you've gotten behind
some government-derived,</i>

721
00:31:54,913 --> 00:31:56,193
<i>pharmaceutical-grade jump juice.</i>

722
00:31:57,624 --> 00:32:00,543
<i>Amphetamines, baby,
you know what I mean?</i>

723
00:32:00,585 --> 00:32:02,962
<i>Of course you don't. Wink wink.</i>

724
00:32:03,004 --> 00:32:04,773
<i>I'm not talking about
some sweaty meth cookers</i>

725
00:32:04,797 --> 00:32:06,674
<i>wearing rebreathers
and hitting up every CVS</i>

726
00:32:06,716 --> 00:32:09,302
<i>inside the county line
for Sudafed and Drano.</i>

727
00:32:09,344 --> 00:32:10,720
<i>No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.</i>

728
00:32:10,762 --> 00:32:12,889
<i>I am talking primo caca,</i>

729
00:32:12,931 --> 00:32:15,099
<i>turned out by chemist-vintners.</i>

730
00:32:15,141 --> 00:32:16,911
<i>And I, for one, cannot wait
to see the ground that these</i>

731
00:32:16,935 --> 00:32:19,604
<i>high-end grasshoppers
break out once it's legal.</i>

732
00:32:28,821 --> 00:32:30,782
<i>Moving on.</i>

733
00:32:35,828 --> 00:32:38,289
<i>We used to call it Mary Jane,</i>

734
00:32:38,331 --> 00:32:40,750
<i>sometimes tea.</i>

735
00:32:40,792 --> 00:32:43,127
<i>But whatever you put
in your pipe and smoke,</i>

736
00:32:43,169 --> 00:32:45,254
<i>that's what they are
arguing about right now.</i>

737
00:32:45,296 --> 00:32:47,298
<i>Cannabis?</i>

738
00:32:47,340 --> 00:32:48,776
<i>That's what the marketers
want you to call it, yeah.</i>

739
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:50,677
<i>And the... the
conversation has turned to it</i>

740
00:32:50,718 --> 00:32:53,346
<i>as business source or revenue.</i>

741
00:32:53,388 --> 00:32:55,264
<i>Who's pro and who's against?</i>

742
00:32:55,306 --> 00:32:57,183
<i>Prince is for it.</i>

743
00:32:57,225 --> 00:32:59,519
<i>And they keep mentioning
DeGiulio is showing up.</i>

744
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,813
<i>The federal government's
going fully legal?</i>

745
00:33:01,854 --> 00:33:03,773
<i>Nah. Is that the thing?</i>

746
00:33:05,441 --> 00:33:08,528
<i>Try one of the
upstairs commodes!</i>

747
00:33:08,569 --> 00:33:10,289
<i>And have a little respect
for a man with one</i>

748
00:33:10,321 --> 00:33:12,490
<i>recently-installed
fucking kidney!</i>

749
00:33:13,992 --> 00:33:15,618
<i>I gotta get back.</i>

750
00:33:25,169 --> 00:33:27,130
<i>[Axe] Bill, I need you
to check on the status</i>

751
00:33:27,171 --> 00:33:29,424
<i>of all current
marijuana legislation,</i>

752
00:33:29,465 --> 00:33:32,010
<i>as well as any public statements
made on the subject by Graham,</i>

753
00:33:32,051 --> 00:33:34,345
<i>Vandeveer, or Sweeney.</i>

754
00:33:34,387 --> 00:33:36,323
<i>And find out what's moving
through the federal system</i>

755
00:33:36,347 --> 00:33:37,849
<i>right now or might be soon.</i>

756
00:33:37,890 --> 00:33:39,851
<i>Call in anybody
you'd like to help.</i>

757
00:33:41,853 --> 00:33:42,937
<i>Wags!</i>

758
00:33:45,231 --> 00:33:46,441
<i>I need your help on something.</i>

759
00:33:54,407 --> 00:33:57,869
<i>Where can I get
$25 million, quick?</i>

760
00:33:57,910 --> 00:33:59,412
<i>We gonna plan a heist?</i>

761
00:33:59,454 --> 00:34:00,764
<i>Should I get Danny
and Rusty and the crew?</i>

762
00:34:00,788 --> 00:34:03,291
<i>No, really. I need 25. Now.</i>

763
00:34:03,332 --> 00:34:05,126
<i>Chuck is going to use
the divorce settlement</i>

764
00:34:05,168 --> 00:34:06,812
<i>to get a look at our books,
and leg over into Axe's,</i>

765
00:34:06,836 --> 00:34:08,588
<i>if I don't lump sum him.</i>

766
00:34:08,629 --> 00:34:10,065
<i>Can't let that happen
because it won't stop,</i>

767
00:34:10,089 --> 00:34:11,966
<i>- even there.
- It will not.</i>

768
00:34:12,008 --> 00:34:14,028
<i>You don't have the ability
to lay hands on that amount?</i>

769
00:34:14,052 --> 00:34:16,492
<i>It's illiquid or tied up in the
divorce settlement with Chuck.</i>

770
00:34:18,222 --> 00:34:19,807
<i>Could you lend it to me,</i>

771
00:34:19,849 --> 00:34:22,268
<i>and use my piece of the
company as collateral?</i>

772
00:34:22,310 --> 00:34:24,395
<i>I can't be seen as
pulling money right now.</i>

773
00:34:24,437 --> 00:34:26,898
<i>What about the special trustee,
your former father-in-law?</i>

774
00:34:26,939 --> 00:34:28,333
<i>- He's a man of means.
- No. No way.</i>

775
00:34:28,357 --> 00:34:29,650
<i>Makes it worse.</i>

776
00:34:29,692 --> 00:34:31,152
<i>Well, you need</i>

777
00:34:31,194 --> 00:34:34,238
<i>deep pockets and willing
to go into them for you.</i>

778
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,700
<i>Axe. He'd... I am not
comfortable with that.</i>

779
00:34:37,742 --> 00:34:39,494
<i>We need to keep
Mase Carb separate,</i>

780
00:34:39,535 --> 00:34:41,263
<i>because if Axe gets angry,
he could trash it for spite.</i>

781
00:34:41,287 --> 00:34:43,081
<i>Well, we need to solve this.</i>

782
00:34:43,122 --> 00:34:44,600
<i>Otherwise, Chuck will
be here Monday morning,</i>

783
00:34:44,624 --> 00:34:46,084
<i>in his white Gil Grissom coat,</i>

784
00:34:46,125 --> 00:34:48,419
<i>ready to do an autopsy
on our business.</i>

785
00:34:50,296 --> 00:34:52,423
<i>Apologies and salutations.</i>

786
00:34:53,591 --> 00:34:54,926
<i>Mmm.</i>

787
00:34:54,967 --> 00:34:56,427
<i>If it isn't the man of the hour.</i>

788
00:34:56,469 --> 00:34:58,930
<i>If that hour were
several hours ago.</i>

789
00:34:58,971 --> 00:35:01,265
<i>I figured this was
better than nothing.</i>

790
00:35:01,307 --> 00:35:03,768
<i>I missed the festivities, I see.</i>

791
00:35:03,810 --> 00:35:06,354
<i>Which were spirited at times.</i>

792
00:35:06,395 --> 00:35:09,023
<i>Since you're here,
Mr. Solicitor General,</i>

793
00:35:09,065 --> 00:35:12,318
<i>perhaps you can be of
answer to our final question,</i>

794
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,071
<i>the path to
legality of cannabis.</i>

795
00:35:15,113 --> 00:35:16,948
<i>Well, as you know,
I can't take a side.</i>

796
00:35:16,989 --> 00:35:18,950
<i>United States is my only client.</i>

797
00:35:18,991 --> 00:35:21,452
<i>But there is a case looming,</i>

798
00:35:21,494 --> 00:35:26,165
<i>and its issues echo many other
cases from many other states.</i>

799
00:35:26,207 --> 00:35:27,750
<i>But it's a conservative court.</i>

800
00:35:27,792 --> 00:35:29,919
<i>So don't we know
how it would rule?</i>

801
00:35:29,961 --> 00:35:31,963
<i>It is. But as the
states' rulings</i>

802
00:35:32,004 --> 00:35:33,965
<i>for legalization pile up,</i>

803
00:35:34,006 --> 00:35:35,275
<i>the likelihood of the high court</i>

804
00:35:35,299 --> 00:35:37,135
<i>changing with the times, grows.</i>

805
00:35:37,176 --> 00:35:40,096
<i>It's a living body, adhering
to the Constitution, of course,</i>

806
00:35:40,138 --> 00:35:42,390
<i>but not deaf to our age.</i>

807
00:35:42,431 --> 00:35:44,308
<i>SCOTUS isn't the Vatican.</i>

808
00:35:44,350 --> 00:35:46,269
<i>Exactly the theme
of our discussion.</i>

809
00:35:46,310 --> 00:35:49,814
<i>What are the chances the
case goes before the court?</i>

810
00:35:49,856 --> 00:35:51,983
<i>Well, I'm not a
betting man, but hell,</i>

811
00:35:52,024 --> 00:35:55,278
<i>if I were, even Ladbroke's
doesn't take action on this,</i>

812
00:35:55,319 --> 00:35:58,531
<i>but I wouldn't bet against it.</i>

813
00:36:09,458 --> 00:36:10,543
<i>Let's eat!</i>

814
00:36:10,585 --> 00:36:12,253
<i>Oh, I already finished.</i>

815
00:36:12,295 --> 00:36:13,796
<i>He served the main course,</i>

816
00:36:13,838 --> 00:36:15,214
<i>and I didn't want
mine to get cold.</i>

817
00:36:15,256 --> 00:36:17,800
<i>Sorry. But I mean, cold chicken?</i>

818
00:36:17,842 --> 00:36:19,218
<i>Bleh.</i>

819
00:36:19,260 --> 00:36:22,430
<i>Of course. You're right. Blech.</i>

820
00:36:22,471 --> 00:36:25,516
<i>Well, I hope you don't
mind watching me eat.</i>

821
00:36:25,558 --> 00:36:26,893
<i>Can I get you some more wine?</i>

822
00:36:28,936 --> 00:36:31,189
<i>I just have a quick question.</i>

823
00:36:31,230 --> 00:36:33,774
<i>This form asks for
my department head.</i>

824
00:36:33,816 --> 00:36:35,318
<i>Would that be you?</i>

825
00:36:35,359 --> 00:36:38,029
<i>And actually, what's
my department?</i>

826
00:36:38,070 --> 00:36:40,281
<i>Wait, what's my new title?</i>

827
00:36:40,323 --> 00:36:42,033
<i>Can I pick it myself?</i>

828
00:36:43,659 --> 00:36:46,537
<i>Does my office look
any different, Tuk?</i>

829
00:36:47,663 --> 00:36:50,333
<i>The tablecloth, the candlelight?</i>

830
00:36:50,374 --> 00:36:54,962
<i>Maybe the beautiful, young
inamorata sitting right here?</i>

831
00:36:55,004 --> 00:36:57,381
<i>Do any of these signs tell you</i>

832
00:36:57,423 --> 00:37:01,844
<i>that now is not a good time?</i>

833
00:37:01,886 --> 00:37:04,722
<i>Let's review some basics.</i>

834
00:37:04,764 --> 00:37:09,310
<i>I am the goddamn
CEO of Axe Bank.</i>

835
00:37:09,352 --> 00:37:11,145
<i>I am neither your
department head</i>

836
00:37:11,187 --> 00:37:14,941
<i>nor the person you come to
with your imbecilic questions.</i>

837
00:37:14,982 --> 00:37:19,528
<i>I have much, much bigger
fish on my metaphorical plate,</i>

838
00:37:19,570 --> 00:37:22,031
<i>and a fucking cold coq
au vin on my actual plate.</i>

839
00:37:22,073 --> 00:37:24,951
<i>And nobody likes cold coq,
you know what I'm sayin'?</i>

840
00:37:28,621 --> 00:37:30,998
<i>He needs to be made
a fucking example of.</i>

841
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:32,667
<i>Don't you run from me,</i>

842
00:37:32,708 --> 00:37:34,794
<i>you loathsome
little prick squirt!</i>

843
00:37:35,753 --> 00:37:37,046
<i>Fucking cunt!</i>

844
00:37:39,799 --> 00:37:42,635
<i>Mike Prince and my
son are squarely at odds</i>

845
00:37:42,677 --> 00:37:44,136
<i>over this ganja business.</i>

846
00:37:44,178 --> 00:37:45,596
<i>I've heard it from you...</i>

847
00:37:45,638 --> 00:37:47,265
<i>John Birch Society
types before...</i>

848
00:37:47,306 --> 00:37:48,617
<i>- What? You've got to be kidding!
- On cannabis.</i>

849
00:37:48,641 --> 00:37:50,184
<i>It needs to be
legalized and federally.</i>

850
00:37:50,226 --> 00:37:51,894
<i>-Yeah. Right on,
hophead. Oh, well,</i>

851
00:37:51,936 --> 00:37:53,288
<i>- that's great.
- [Senior] It got heated as hell.</i>

852
00:37:53,312 --> 00:37:55,439
<i>Barbs and brickbats
tossed around.</i>

853
00:37:55,481 --> 00:38:00,695
<i>Prince kind of
kicked Chuck's ass.</i>

854
00:38:00,736 --> 00:38:04,240
<i>Meanwhile, all that
product can be taxed.</i>

855
00:38:07,326 --> 00:38:08,995
<i>[Senior] Prince kind of</i>

856
00:38:09,036 --> 00:38:12,665
<i>handed Chuck his ass
in his own dining room.</i>

857
00:38:12,707 --> 00:38:15,334
<i>DeGiulio said it'll
come before the court.</i>

858
00:38:15,376 --> 00:38:16,794
<i>Both of them seemed to think</i>

859
00:38:16,836 --> 00:38:18,838
<i>that was a victory
for their side.</i>

860
00:38:18,879 --> 00:38:21,340
<i>But I wouldn't invest
in cannabis right now.</i>

861
00:38:21,382 --> 00:38:22,800
<i>Too much uncertainty.</i>

862
00:38:24,635 --> 00:38:25,678
<i>Hold on.</i>

863
00:38:27,388 --> 00:38:29,307
<i>That was no fight.</i>

864
00:38:29,348 --> 00:38:31,976
<i>That's what they
wanted us to think.</i>

865
00:38:34,312 --> 00:38:37,898
<i>They're in this together. My
two enemies have linked up.</i>

866
00:38:37,940 --> 00:38:40,192
<i>They're trying to make
marijuana money safe to bank,</i>

867
00:38:40,234 --> 00:38:41,736
<i>for Prince.</i>

868
00:38:41,777 --> 00:38:43,612
<i>He gains these
deposits for his bank</i>

869
00:38:43,654 --> 00:38:45,823
<i>and crushes mine in
the fucking process.</i>

870
00:38:51,454 --> 00:38:54,665
<i>[Axe] Bill, it is federal.</i>

871
00:38:54,707 --> 00:38:57,501
<i>Get Bach to find out what
existing marijuana cases</i>

872
00:38:57,543 --> 00:38:59,337
<i>can be appealed to
the Supreme Court.</i>

873
00:38:59,378 --> 00:39:02,173
<i>Some laws are gonna
change, and we gotta be ready.</i>

874
00:39:02,214 --> 00:39:03,214
<i>Is Victor there? Yep.</i>

875
00:39:07,345 --> 00:39:09,680
<i>- Yo.
- Taylor and Rian,</i>

876
00:39:09,722 --> 00:39:11,362
<i>tell them the yellow
light is going green.</i>

877
00:39:11,390 --> 00:39:14,643
<i>That Axe Holding is
going all the way green.</i>

878
00:39:14,685 --> 00:39:17,021
<i>Set up the leading
marijuana companies</i>

879
00:39:17,063 --> 00:39:20,274
<i>for pitches, with incentives,
to be handled by Axe Bank.</i>

880
00:39:20,316 --> 00:39:21,984
<i>Got it.</i>

881
00:39:22,026 --> 00:39:23,170
<i>Find out which cannabis
companies Mike Prince</i>

882
00:39:23,194 --> 00:39:25,029
<i>is pursuing or in.</i>

883
00:39:25,071 --> 00:39:28,616
<i>Medical, recreational,
CBD, THC, paraphernalia,</i>

884
00:39:28,657 --> 00:39:29,825
<i>payment processors.</i>

885
00:39:29,867 --> 00:39:31,494
<i>Someone's about to get smoked.</i>

886
00:39:31,535 --> 00:39:32,745
<i>You got that right.</i>

887
00:39:32,787 --> 00:39:34,038
<i>Whatever he's going after,</i>

888
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:35,539
<i>I'm gonna take it.</i>

889
00:39:40,753 --> 00:39:41,921
<i>You're leaving.</i>

890
00:39:41,962 --> 00:39:43,923
<i>Yeah, to let you do your thing.</i>

891
00:39:43,964 --> 00:39:45,883
<i>This night turned
into a mess. I'm sorry.</i>

892
00:39:45,925 --> 00:39:48,469
<i>I was hoping I could show you
that I could be both a bank CEO</i>

893
00:39:48,511 --> 00:39:51,514
<i>and a substantial suitor,</i>

894
00:39:51,555 --> 00:39:54,266
<i>the kind you'd think
long-term about.</i>

895
00:39:54,308 --> 00:39:57,144
<i>The kind you'd be proud
to introduce to your folks.</i>

896
00:39:57,186 --> 00:39:59,980
<i>Instead, I showed a
side of myself that was...</i>

897
00:40:00,022 --> 00:40:02,900
<i>That was totally baller.</i>

898
00:40:02,942 --> 00:40:06,654
<i>I loved watching
you ream that beta.</i>

899
00:40:06,695 --> 00:40:09,698
<i>I was beginning to worry
that you were past it.</i>

900
00:40:09,740 --> 00:40:12,326
<i>But you're no lap dog.</i>

901
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:15,413
<i>You're a Rottweiler.</i>

902
00:40:18,582 --> 00:40:20,251
<i>Finish up here and
have the front desk</i>

903
00:40:20,292 --> 00:40:22,086
<i>let me up to your place.</i>

904
00:40:23,254 --> 00:40:24,922
<i>I'll be waiting for you.</i>

905
00:40:36,851 --> 00:40:38,644
<i>Huh.</i>

906
00:40:47,486 --> 00:40:49,280
<i>Hi.</i>

907
00:40:49,321 --> 00:40:53,159
<i>Wend, look, I only
half said it before</i>

908
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:54,910
<i>we got interrupted, about uh,</i>

909
00:40:54,952 --> 00:40:56,954
<i>why I hated you and Tanner...</i>

910
00:40:56,996 --> 00:40:58,956
<i>Let me do this first.</i>

911
00:40:58,998 --> 00:41:02,084
<i>Because until it's done,
uh, I can't hear anything else.</i>

912
00:41:02,126 --> 00:41:03,294
<i>Until what's done?</i>

913
00:41:03,335 --> 00:41:04,712
<i>Chuck.</i>

914
00:41:04,753 --> 00:41:07,047
<i>I need his hand out of my pocket</i>

915
00:41:07,089 --> 00:41:09,633
<i>and his nose out
of... Our business.</i>

916
00:41:09,675 --> 00:41:11,469
<i>I can give you the long buildup</i>

917
00:41:11,510 --> 00:41:13,471
<i>or cut to the punch line,</i>

918
00:41:13,512 --> 00:41:15,806
<i>I need you to buy out my
shares of Mase Carbon</i>

919
00:41:15,848 --> 00:41:17,475
<i>today in cash.</i>

920
00:41:17,516 --> 00:41:19,143
<i>And promise to let
me buy 'em back at par</i>

921
00:41:19,185 --> 00:41:20,728
<i>whenever I can.</i>

922
00:41:20,769 --> 00:41:22,146
<i>How much?</i>

923
00:41:22,188 --> 00:41:24,231
<i>It's $25 million.</i>

924
00:41:32,865 --> 00:41:34,533
<i>Done.</i>

925
00:41:53,928 --> 00:41:55,471
<i>I sold to Axe.</i>

926
00:41:58,182 --> 00:42:00,643
<i>You agreed not to do
that mere hours ago.</i>

927
00:42:00,684 --> 00:42:02,394
<i>Did our discussion
mean that little to you?</i>

928
00:42:02,436 --> 00:42:05,523
<i>We can trust him.</i>

929
00:42:05,564 --> 00:42:07,525
<i>You can.</i>

930
00:42:07,566 --> 00:42:09,318
<i>You must know that
sounds ridiculous.</i>

931
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,028
<i>How can I suddenly trust him?</i>

932
00:42:11,070 --> 00:42:13,531
<i>Because he wouldn't
do anything to hurt me.</i>

933
00:42:13,572 --> 00:42:17,701
<i>And I know I'm the only
person in the world that's true of.</i>

934
00:42:17,743 --> 00:42:20,287
<i>He's hurt you before
when he's needed to.</i>

935
00:42:20,329 --> 00:42:21,622
<i>He did.</i>

936
00:42:21,664 --> 00:42:23,040
<i>But I understand why.</i>

937
00:42:28,254 --> 00:42:30,881
<i>And things are different
between us now.</i>

938
00:42:38,222 --> 00:42:39,765
<i>I see.</i>

939
00:42:42,017 --> 00:42:43,561
<i>In that case, I'll affirm it.</i>

940
00:42:46,438 --> 00:42:48,899
<i>Good.</i>

941
00:42:48,941 --> 00:42:50,693
<i>I'm glad to hear you say that.</i>

942
00:43:15,301 --> 00:43:17,136
<i>Have you made your decision yet?</i>

943
00:43:17,177 --> 00:43:19,346
<i>Still torn.</i>

944
00:43:19,388 --> 00:43:22,266
<i>I have been thinking
about what you said.</i>

945
00:43:23,976 --> 00:43:26,520
<i>But I believe I can do both,</i>

946
00:43:26,562 --> 00:43:28,856
<i>handle the bank and Mase Carb.</i>

947
00:43:28,897 --> 00:43:30,858
<i>I'd like to pitch it to Axe.</i>

948
00:43:32,568 --> 00:43:34,945
<i>Well, then, technically,
you still work for me.</i>

949
00:43:34,987 --> 00:43:38,282
<i>So I have the
power You're fired.</i>

950
00:43:42,578 --> 00:43:44,288
<i>I'll go to Axe, then.</i>

951
00:43:44,330 --> 00:43:46,210
<i>I'll get him to back me
up and you know he will.</i>

952
00:43:46,248 --> 00:43:48,250
<i>IR girls are growing on
trees out there these days.</i>

953
00:43:48,292 --> 00:43:52,463
<i>How can you be so spiteful?</i>

954
00:43:52,504 --> 00:43:53,964
<i>Where is this coming from?</i>

955
00:43:54,006 --> 00:43:55,633
<i>You told me about
your trust issues.</i>

956
00:43:55,674 --> 00:43:57,509
<i>Now I'll tell you about mine.</i>

957
00:43:57,551 --> 00:43:59,362
<i>Every time I trust someone
close to me to make a decision,</i>

958
00:43:59,386 --> 00:44:00,929
<i>they choose to fuck me over.</i>

959
00:44:00,971 --> 00:44:02,931
<i>I thought you were
different. I was wrong.</i>

960
00:44:02,973 --> 00:44:04,183
<i>It's that simple to you?</i>

961
00:44:04,224 --> 00:44:05,684
<i>Yes, it is. You made it so.</i>

962
00:44:07,353 --> 00:44:08,896
<i>I'm not torn anymore.</i>

963
00:44:08,937 --> 00:44:10,356
<i>Not at all.</i>

964
00:44:11,607 --> 00:44:13,025
<i>If that's how you feel about me</i>

965
00:44:13,067 --> 00:44:15,152
<i>after everything
we've built together,</i>

966
00:44:15,194 --> 00:44:16,987
<i>then it's all clear.</i>

967
00:44:18,113 --> 00:44:19,531
<i>Maybe for the first time.</i>

968
00:44:19,573 --> 00:44:21,867
<i>Well, I'm glad I could
elucidate for you.</i>

969
00:44:21,909 --> 00:44:25,496
<i>You talk a big game
about worshipping logic,</i>

970
00:44:25,537 --> 00:44:28,290
<i>clean, emotionless simplicity.</i>

971
00:44:28,332 --> 00:44:32,252
<i>But every move you make
comes from a personal pain</i>

972
00:44:32,294 --> 00:44:34,922
<i>so deep you can't
even recognize it.</i>

973
00:44:37,633 --> 00:44:40,594
<i>Stay out of the apartment
until I clear my shit out.</i>

974
00:44:53,357 --> 00:44:55,192
<i>We did it.</i>

975
00:44:55,234 --> 00:44:58,028
<i>All these people are going
to push our agenda forward.</i>

976
00:44:58,070 --> 00:44:59,530
<i>They texted me.</i>

977
00:44:59,571 --> 00:45:02,950
<i>I know it is so because
I can almost feel</i>

978
00:45:02,991 --> 00:45:05,911
<i>that bit of melancholy
that comes on the precipice</i>

979
00:45:05,953 --> 00:45:08,330
<i>of momentous success.</i>

980
00:45:08,372 --> 00:45:11,041
<i>Comes on the
precipice of failure, too.</i>

981
00:45:11,625 --> 00:45:13,585
<i>True.</i>

982
00:45:18,048 --> 00:45:19,842
<i>That argument was a nice touch.</i>

983
00:45:19,883 --> 00:45:22,219
<i>Convincing.
Almost felt personal.</i>

984
00:45:22,261 --> 00:45:23,303
<i>To sell it.</i>

985
00:45:23,345 --> 00:45:25,097
<i>Ah. Ah-ah.</i>

986
00:45:28,225 --> 00:45:30,436
<i>Oh, morning, sweetheart.</i>

987
00:45:30,477 --> 00:45:32,104
<i>You're up early.</i>

988
00:45:32,146 --> 00:45:33,981
<i>Hi, Dad. Couldn't sleep.</i>

989
00:45:34,022 --> 00:45:36,400
<i>Oh. Hey, uh, this is Mr. Prince.</i>

990
00:45:36,442 --> 00:45:38,068
<i>Call me Mike.</i>

991
00:45:38,110 --> 00:45:39,319
<i>Hello.</i>

992
00:45:39,361 --> 00:45:41,321
<i>What's that smell?</i>

993
00:45:41,363 --> 00:45:44,575
<i>Remnants of your
grandfather's cigar.</i>

994
00:45:44,616 --> 00:45:46,869
<i>- You hungry?
- Mm-hm.</i>

995
00:45:46,910 --> 00:45:48,579
<i>Good.</i>

996
00:48:38,832 --> 00:48:40,083
<i>That's yours.</i>

997
00:49:28,382 --> 00:49:29,800
<i>[Wendy] Hey.</i>

998
00:49:29,841 --> 00:49:31,468
<i>Hey.</i>

999
00:49:36,014 --> 00:49:38,433
<i>You were right earlier.</i>

1000
00:49:40,060 --> 00:49:42,771
<i>It's, um, it's true.</i>

1001
00:49:42,813 --> 00:49:45,774
<i>I was trying to ruin
Tanner in your eyes.</i>

1002
00:49:51,947 --> 00:49:55,450
<i>But not as a favor to you,</i>

1003
00:49:55,492 --> 00:49:58,662
<i>or to try to show you
something about him,</i>

1004
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:04,501
<i>but because of you.</i>

1005
00:50:07,504 --> 00:50:10,007
<i>Because I couldn't
stand you being with him.</i>

1006
00:50:16,013 --> 00:50:17,597
<i>Or anyone.</i>

1007
00:50:20,726 --> 00:50:22,519
<i>I can't stand it.</i>

1008
00:50:27,232 --> 00:50:29,192
<i>You don't want me
to be all alone though.</i>

1009
00:50:31,987 --> 00:50:34,031
<i>You can't want that.</i>

1010
00:50:37,576 --> 00:50:39,327
<i>No.</i>

1011
00:50:40,245 --> 00:50:42,205
<i>I do not.</i>

1012
00:50:44,750 --> 00:50:47,085
<i>That's what I'm
experiencing right now,</i>

1013
00:50:47,127 --> 00:50:49,046
