{\an8}<i>[Prince]</i>
<i>Previously on</i> {\an8}<i>Billions...</i>

2
00:00:06,172 --> 00:00:08,133
{\an8}<i>[Sweeney] Charles Rhoades Jr.</i>
{\an8}<i>is hereby removed</i>

3
00:00:08,174 --> 00:00:10,135
{\an8}<i>as attorney general</i>
{\an8}<i>of the State of New York.</i>

4
00:00:10,176 --> 00:00:12,095
{\an8}<i>[Ira]</i> <i>Chuck, we have your</i>
<i>things. A plan has been made.</i>

5
00:00:12,137 --> 00:00:13,805
<i>We're taking you</i>
<i>to Rundas Lodge.</i>

6
00:00:13,847 --> 00:00:16,016
{\an8}<i>-[DeGiulio]</i> <i>Fresh air.</i>
{\an8}<i>-[Senior]</i> <i>Vigorous bodywork.</i>

7
00:00:16,057 --> 00:00:17,684
{\an8}<i>[Taylor]</i>
<i>Philip seems to be creating</i>

8
00:00:17,726 --> 00:00:19,144
<i>a real "leader of men" vibe</i>
<i>on the floor.</i>

9
00:00:19,185 --> 00:00:22,022
{\an8}<i>Call an all-hands meeting</i>
{\an8}<i>at the house.</i>

10
00:00:22,063 --> 00:00:23,565
{\an8}<i>Someone sets out</i>
{\an8}<i>to slay a dragon,</i>

11
00:00:23,606 --> 00:00:25,316
{\an8}<i>and behind them is an army.</i>

12
00:00:25,358 --> 00:00:28,528
{\an8}<i>I killed the dragon</i>
{\an8}<i>that was Chuck Rhoades.</i>

13
00:00:28,570 --> 00:00:30,071
<i>There's a reason</i>
<i>why the killing</i>

14
00:00:30,113 --> 00:00:31,990
<i>isn't the end of the story.</i>

15
00:00:32,032 --> 00:00:35,368
<i>The real end is when you</i>
<i>eat the dragon's heart.</i>

16
00:00:35,410 --> 00:00:38,371
{\an8}<i>My victories</i>
{\an8}<i>are our victories.</i>

17
00:00:38,413 --> 00:00:39,664
{\an8}<i>We could leave.</i>

18
00:00:39,706 --> 00:00:40,915
{\an8}<i>I just can't fall in love</i>

19
00:00:40,957 --> 00:00:43,084
{\an8}<i>with someone I work with.</i>

20
00:00:43,126 --> 00:00:45,587
{\an8}<i>For you to succeed at being</i>
{\an8}<i>whatever it is you want to be,</i>

21
00:00:45,628 --> 00:00:47,255
{\an8}<i>you need to stop</i>
{\an8}<i>lying to yourself.</i>

22
00:00:47,297 --> 00:00:49,924
{\an8}<i>You want power</i>
{\an8}<i>because you like power.</i>

23
00:00:49,966 --> 00:00:52,594
{\an8}<i>Let's not forget about you.</i>

24
00:00:52,635 --> 00:00:54,304
{\an8}<i>What you want</i>
{\an8}<i>out of all of this.</i>

25
00:00:54,345 --> 00:00:56,389
{\an8}<i>[Wendy]</i>
<i>Me? I guess I just don't know.</i>

26
00:00:56,431 --> 00:00:58,808
{\an8}<i>[Prince]</i> <i>And after all that talk</i>
<i>about not lying to oneself.</i>

27
00:00:58,850 --> 00:01:01,061
{\an8}<i>I'm not lying to myself.</i>
{\an8}<i>I'm lying to you.</i>

28
00:01:01,102 --> 00:01:03,980
<i>I know the manuscript is late,</i>
<i>but it's worth it.</i>

29
00:01:04,022 --> 00:01:07,358
{\an8}<i>Prince showed himself in Albany.</i>
{\an8}<i>He came to watch.</i>

30
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:08,985
<i>And someone who loves</i>
<i>the blood sport</i>

31
00:01:09,027 --> 00:01:10,403
<i>can be induced</i>
<i>into another fight.</i>

32
00:01:10,445 --> 00:01:12,322
{\an8}<i>[woman]</i>
{\an8}<i>Focus on each breath.</i>

33
00:01:12,363 --> 00:01:14,240
{\an8}<i>Count them</i>
{\an8}<i>until you reach a billion.</i>

34
00:01:14,282 --> 00:01:15,867
{\an8}<i>You will have stopped counting,</i>

35
00:01:15,909 --> 00:01:18,078
{\an8}<i>which is the whole idea.</i>

36
00:01:40,809 --> 00:01:42,435
{\an8}<i>[indistinct chatter]</i>

37
00:01:42,477 --> 00:01:46,606
{\an8}<i>[ticking clock</i>
{\an8}<i>rises in volume]</i>

38
00:01:49,150 --> 00:01:51,236
{\an8}<i>[truck engine starts]</i>

39
00:01:53,321 --> 00:01:56,491
{\an8}<i>[clock ticking]</i>

40
00:02:24,435 --> 00:02:26,312
{\an8}<i>I keep this place</i>
{\an8}<i>as a tax write-off.</i>

41
00:02:26,354 --> 00:02:27,438
{\an8}<i>Clever.</i>

42
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,274
{\an8}<i>Legal tax avoidance strategy</i>

43
00:02:29,315 --> 00:02:32,152
{\an8}<i>against people in,</i>
{\an8}<i>uh, government,</i>

44
00:02:32,193 --> 00:02:33,653
{\an8}<i>uh, like you.</i>

45
00:02:33,695 --> 00:02:37,282
{\an8}<i>Well, people like you</i>
{\an8}<i>used to be, anyway.</i>

46
00:02:37,323 --> 00:02:39,868
{\an8}<i>You still have Miss McGrath</i>
{\an8}<i>on the payroll?</i>

47
00:02:39,909 --> 00:02:41,661
{\an8}<i>She looks like</i>
{\an8}<i>she voted for Ike.</i>

48
00:02:41,703 --> 00:02:44,664
{\an8}<i>Ha! She did, twice.</i>

49
00:02:44,706 --> 00:02:46,166
{\an8}<i>Ah.</i>

50
00:02:46,207 --> 00:02:49,169
{\an8}<i>[Senior] She is</i>
{\an8}<i>supposed to tend to these.</i>

51
00:02:49,210 --> 00:02:52,505
{\an8}<i>Oh, well, nothing stays moist</i>
{\an8}<i>and supple forever.</i>

52
00:02:53,715 --> 00:02:55,341
{\an8}<i>If that is some veiled reference</i>

53
00:02:55,383 --> 00:02:57,552
{\an8}<i>to a supposed</i>
{\an8}<i>decades-old contretemps</i>

54
00:02:57,594 --> 00:02:59,888
{\an8}<i>between me and Doris</i>
{\an8}<i>out there...</i>

55
00:03:01,264 --> 00:03:03,141
{\an8}<i>that was just your mother</i>
{\an8}<i>being paranoid.</i>

56
00:03:03,183 --> 00:03:04,684
{\an8}<i>Sure thing.</i>

57
00:03:05,894 --> 00:03:08,354
{\an8}<i>Anyway, you're all set up.</i>

58
00:03:08,396 --> 00:03:11,983
{\an8}<i>Desk. Phones.</i>
{\an8}<i>Fax machine.</i>

59
00:03:12,025 --> 00:03:14,152
{\an8}<i>The girl to take a letter.</i>

60
00:03:14,194 --> 00:03:15,820
{\an8}<i>Whatever you need.</i>

61
00:03:15,862 --> 00:03:20,450
{\an8}<i>And as always, I hope that you</i>
{\an8}<i>enjoy my largesse.</i>

62
00:03:20,491 --> 00:03:24,287
{\an8}<i>And as always, Dad,</i>
{\an8}<i>I thank you for this.</i>

63
00:03:24,329 --> 00:03:26,497
{\an8}<i>For the trip to Rundas.</i>

64
00:03:26,539 --> 00:03:29,000
{\an8}<i>That really reset me,</i>
{\an8}<i>just as you intended.</i>

65
00:03:29,042 --> 00:03:30,251
{\an8}<i>Even more so.</i>

66
00:03:31,753 --> 00:03:35,715
{\an8}<i>[deep sigh]</i>

67
00:03:38,801 --> 00:03:43,056
{\an8}<i>[clock ticking]</i>

68
00:04:06,454 --> 00:04:08,414
{\an8}<i>[traffic ambience]</i>

69
00:04:09,707 --> 00:04:10,750
{\an8}<i>[knock on door]</i>

70
00:04:12,252 --> 00:04:15,672
{\an8}<i>Good morning. Thank you</i>
{\an8}<i>for agreeing to meet.</i>

71
00:04:15,713 --> 00:04:19,092
{\an8}<i>Well, how could I stop myself</i>
{\an8}<i>from seeing what you wanted?</i>

72
00:04:19,133 --> 00:04:20,927
{\an8}<i>[laughs]</i>
{\an8}<i>Indeed.</i>

73
00:04:20,969 --> 00:04:23,763
{\an8}<i>The answer to that question is:</i>
{\an8}<i>I come with an offer.</i>

74
00:04:23,805 --> 00:04:26,557
{\an8}<i>Pick a position for yourself,</i>
{\an8}<i>senior level,</i>

75
00:04:26,599 --> 00:04:28,935
{\an8}<i>at one of these companies.</i>

76
00:04:30,270 --> 00:04:31,521
{\an8}<i>[chuckles]</i>

77
00:04:33,314 --> 00:04:34,440
{\an8}<i>Oh.</i>

78
00:04:38,903 --> 00:04:41,114
- {\an8}<i>-
- Prince owns all of these?</i>
- {\an8}<i>-
- He does.</i>

79
00:04:41,155 --> 00:04:43,283
- {\an8}<i>-
- Spread out across the country.</i>
- {\an8}<i>-
- Ah.</i>

80
00:04:43,324 --> 00:04:45,785
- {\an8}<i>-
- So I beat it out of town?</i>
- {\an8}<i>-
- Only if it's a plus.</i>

81
00:04:45,827 --> 00:04:47,245
{\an8}<i>-[soft chuckle]</i>
- {\an8}<i>-
- You choose.</i>

82
00:04:47,287 --> 00:04:48,830
{\an8}<i>Head of Legal,</i>
{\an8}<i>Chief Counsel,</i>

83
00:04:48,871 --> 00:04:50,832
{\an8}<i>Director of Operations,</i>
{\an8}<i>and the like.</i>

84
00:04:50,873 --> 00:04:53,835
{\an8}<i>A restaurant group,</i>
{\an8}<i>meat processing plants,</i>

85
00:04:53,876 --> 00:04:56,129
{\an8}<i>a boutique hotel chain,</i>

86
00:04:56,170 --> 00:04:58,464
{\an8}<i>tech ventures, textile mills,</i>
{\an8}<i>clothing chains,</i>

87
00:04:58,506 --> 00:04:59,632
{\an8}<i>auto parts manufacturers.</i>

88
00:05:01,217 --> 00:05:04,595
{\an8}<i>Differences don't have</i>
{\an8}<i>to be permanent.</i>

89
00:05:04,637 --> 00:05:07,140
{\an8}<i>Temporary discord</i>
{\an8}<i>between talented parties</i>

90
00:05:07,181 --> 00:05:09,100
{\an8}<i>can be overcome</i>
{\an8}<i>for a more productive future.</i>

91
00:05:10,727 --> 00:05:13,980
{\an8}<i>Mike says this offer is for you</i>
{\an8}<i>to find the way forward.</i>

92
00:05:14,022 --> 00:05:15,189
{\an8}<i>Leave you with dignity</i>
{\an8}<i>in defeat.</i>

93
00:05:15,231 --> 00:05:16,524
{\an8}<i>Mmm.</i>

94
00:05:16,566 --> 00:05:17,567
{\an8}<i>Says you'd know what that means.</i>

95
00:05:17,608 --> 00:05:19,319
{\an8}<i>[chuckles]</i>
{\an8}<i>Yeah.</i>

96
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,404
{\an8}<i>That does have</i>
{\an8}<i>a familiar ring to it.</i>

97
00:05:21,446 --> 00:05:24,866
{\an8}<i>[clock ticking]</i>

98
00:05:30,872 --> 00:05:33,583
{\an8}<i>I'll admit, this is not</i>
{\an8}<i>what I expected.</i>

99
00:05:33,624 --> 00:05:35,418
{\an8}<i>Hmm.</i>

100
00:05:35,460 --> 00:05:37,086
{\an8}<i>I'll leave you to ruminate</i>
{\an8}<i>and check back shortly.</i>

101
00:05:40,798 --> 00:05:42,842
{\an8}<i>[door opens and closes]</i>

102
00:05:56,731 --> 00:05:58,399
{\an8}<i>Who wouldn't want</i>
{\an8}<i>George Foreman's imprimatur</i>

103
00:05:58,441 --> 00:06:00,735
{\an8}<i>on their fat-reducing grill?</i>

104
00:06:00,777 --> 00:06:02,820
{\an8}<i>So, heck yes, Andrew,</i>

105
00:06:02,862 --> 00:06:05,615
{\an8}<i>who wouldn't want</i>
{\an8}<i>Andrew Yang's endorsement...</i>

106
00:06:05,656 --> 00:06:07,408
{\an8}<i>when the time is right.</i>

107
00:06:07,450 --> 00:06:09,369
{\an8}<i>Which will be soon.</i>

108
00:06:09,410 --> 00:06:11,204
{\an8}<i>Thanks. We'll talk more.</i>

109
00:06:32,225 --> 00:06:35,561
{\an8}<i>I don't know if you're aware,</i>
{\an8}<i>but this is incendiary.</i>

110
00:06:35,603 --> 00:06:37,647
{\an8}<i>Incendiary.</i>

111
00:06:43,611 --> 00:06:45,196
{\an8}<i>Who wrote what?</i>

112
00:06:45,238 --> 00:06:46,739
{\an8}<i>Wendy Rhoades.</i>

113
00:06:46,781 --> 00:06:49,367
{\an8}<i>About this place.</i>
{\an8}<i>And it has hijacked the day.</i>

114
00:06:49,409 --> 00:06:50,868
{\an8}<i>When did she do this?</i>

115
00:06:50,910 --> 00:06:52,495
{\an8}<i>When she was gone at</i>
{\an8}<i>that Buddhist retreat?</i>

116
00:06:52,537 --> 00:06:54,497
{\an8}<i>How it started.</i>
{\an8}<i>This is how it's going.</i>

117
00:06:54,539 --> 00:06:57,500
{\an8}<i>I saw her since her return.</i>

118
00:06:57,542 --> 00:06:59,419
{\an8}<i>We spent real time together.</i>
{\an8}<i>She never mentioned.</i>

119
00:06:59,460 --> 00:07:00,962
{\an8}<i>Note says she had</i>
{\an8}<i>the ending wrong,</i>

120
00:07:01,003 --> 00:07:02,964
{\an8}<i>thanks you for the help</i>
{\an8}<i>with the rewrite.</i>

121
00:07:03,005 --> 00:07:04,924
{\an8}<i>Dang it.</i>

122
00:07:04,966 --> 00:07:06,426
{\an8}<i>That's why she grilled me.</i>

123
00:07:06,467 --> 00:07:08,261
{\an8}<i>Ha! She-- Wow.</i>

124
00:07:08,302 --> 00:07:10,054
{\an8}<i>Less advanced person</i>
{\an8}<i>figures she'll wait</i>

125
00:07:10,096 --> 00:07:11,597
{\an8}<i>till the book is announced</i>
{\an8}<i>or published,</i>

126
00:07:11,639 --> 00:07:13,474
{\an8}<i>deal with the flack then.</i>

127
00:07:13,516 --> 00:07:15,852
{\an8}<i>But Wendy Rhoades, she shows</i>
{\an8}<i>everyone way ahead of time,</i>

128
00:07:15,893 --> 00:07:18,271
{\an8}<i>as if to get our blessing</i>
{\an8}<i>or feedback.</i>

129
00:07:18,312 --> 00:07:19,939
{\an8}<i>Gets in front of it all.</i>

130
00:07:19,981 --> 00:07:21,524
- {\an8}<i>-
- Smart.</i>
- {\an8}<i>-
- Sure.</i>

131
00:07:21,566 --> 00:07:23,234
{\an8}<i>But a lot of our people</i>
{\an8}<i>want you to kill it.</i>

132
00:07:23,276 --> 00:07:24,735
{\an8}<i>And you probably should.</i>

133
00:07:24,777 --> 00:07:26,320
{\an8}<i>Probably will.</i>

134
00:07:26,362 --> 00:07:27,989
{\an8}<i>I already flagged</i>
{\an8}<i>the most damning passages.</i>

135
00:07:29,907 --> 00:07:31,534
{\an8}<i>Okay, so that's the urgent.</i>

136
00:07:31,576 --> 00:07:33,119
{\an8}<i>Now, let's deal</i>
{\an8}<i>with the important.</i>

137
00:07:33,161 --> 00:07:35,788
{\an8}<i>Ah, yes, your universal</i>
{\an8}<i>basic income plan.</i>

138
00:07:35,830 --> 00:07:38,541
{\an8}<i>No, don't call it that.</i>
{\an8}<i>It's Quality of Life Funds.</i>

139
00:07:38,583 --> 00:07:40,626
{\an8}<i>"QOLF"?</i>

140
00:07:40,668 --> 00:07:42,962
- {\an8}<i>-
- Doesn't roll off the tongue.</i>
- {\an8}<i>-
- No, it does not.</i>

141
00:07:43,004 --> 00:07:44,547
{\an8}<i>Mike Money, you know?</i>

142
00:07:44,589 --> 00:07:46,382
{\an8}<i>Mike Money.</i>

143
00:07:47,758 --> 00:07:49,594
- {\an8}<i>-
- Yeah, I like it.</i>
- {\an8}<i>-
- A thousand a month</i>

144
00:07:49,635 --> 00:07:51,888
{\an8}<i>-for those who--</i>
- {\an8}<i>-
- Yep. Mike Money.</i>

145
00:07:51,929 --> 00:07:54,098
{\an8}<i>I'm sitting on a ton</i>
{\an8}<i>of collateral right now,</i>

146
00:07:54,140 --> 00:07:56,434
{\an8}<i>so it's time to convince</i>
{\an8}<i>the Brooklyn borough president</i>

147
00:07:56,476 --> 00:07:57,894
{\an8}<i>to get behind</i>
{\an8}<i>a pilot program</i>

148
00:07:57,935 --> 00:07:59,395
{\an8}<i>to prove it works</i>
{\an8}<i>and is scalable.</i>

149
00:07:59,437 --> 00:08:00,980
{\an8}<i>I'm with you.</i>

150
00:08:01,022 --> 00:08:03,483
{\an8}<i>But coming off</i>
{\an8}<i>our Olympics collapse,</i>

151
00:08:03,524 --> 00:08:05,234
{\an8}<i>you sure it's the right time?</i>

152
00:08:05,276 --> 00:08:06,777
{\an8}<i>That's exactly</i>
{\an8}<i>why it has to be now.</i>

153
00:08:11,032 --> 00:08:12,200
{\an8}<i>[inaudible]</i>

154
00:08:28,049 --> 00:08:29,634
{\an8}<i>At ease, sergeant.</i>

155
00:08:29,675 --> 00:08:31,636
{\an8}<i>Not at ease</i>
{\an8}<i>till you leave.</i>

156
00:08:31,677 --> 00:08:33,888
{\an8}<i>That is why</i>
{\an8}<i>you're a great soldier.</i>

157
00:08:33,930 --> 00:08:35,723
{\an8}<i>Always at attention.</i>

158
00:08:35,765 --> 00:08:39,769
{\an8}<i>You know the more productive</i>
{\an8}<i>meetings are on your feet.</i>

159
00:08:39,810 --> 00:08:42,438
{\an8}<i>This is why I will need you</i>
{\an8}<i>in my cabinet.</i>

160
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,525
{\an8}<i>Like the cabinets</i>
{\an8}<i>above the sink, or...?</i>

161
00:08:45,566 --> 00:08:47,443
{\an8}<i>Not at all. You see--</i>

162
00:08:47,485 --> 00:08:49,654
{\an8}<i>I see you want to close</i>
{\an8}<i>to whisper distance.</i>

163
00:08:49,695 --> 00:08:51,614
{\an8}<i>Don't. No one else</i>
{\an8}<i>can hear you.</i>

164
00:08:51,656 --> 00:08:53,324
{\an8}<i>Fine.</i>

165
00:08:53,366 --> 00:08:56,702
<i>Die Informationen</i>
{\an8}<i>is that Prince has called</i>

166
00:08:56,744 --> 00:08:57,954
{\an8}<i>a succession meeting.</i>

167
00:08:59,747 --> 00:09:01,958
{\an8}<i>I'm on the short list.</i>

168
00:09:01,999 --> 00:09:06,212
{\an8}<i>And so, I'm here to give you</i>
{\an8}<i>the chance to throw in early,</i>

169
00:09:06,254 --> 00:09:10,466
{\an8}<i>thereby securing your place</i>
{\an8}<i>at my elbow come the new morn.</i>

170
00:09:10,508 --> 00:09:13,970
{\an8}<i>So, can I count on it?</i>
{\an8}<i>Your support.</i>

171
00:09:14,011 --> 00:09:16,389
{\an8}<i>I think you know exactly</i>
{\an8}<i>the esteem in which I hold you.</i>

172
00:09:16,430 --> 00:09:18,224
{\an8}<i>I have been clear</i>
{\an8}<i>on the matter.</i>

173
00:09:18,266 --> 00:09:21,310
{\an8}<i>And don't you think</i>
{\an8}<i>I don't appreciate it.</i>

174
00:09:21,352 --> 00:09:25,565
{\an8}<i>I've got a good eye on you</i>
{\an8}<i>for a sub-leadership spot.</i>

175
00:09:25,606 --> 00:09:26,941
{\an8}<i>A good eye.</i>

176
00:09:43,457 --> 00:09:45,334
{\an8}<i>Shrewd move.</i>

177
00:09:45,376 --> 00:09:47,837
{\an8}<i>Mike puts a succession plan</i>
{\an8}<i>in place,</i>

178
00:09:47,878 --> 00:09:51,007
{\an8}<i>makes investors think</i>
{\an8}<i>this is the Model fucking U.N.,</i>

179
00:09:51,048 --> 00:09:53,009
{\an8}<i>then they leave the czar</i>
{\an8}<i>the fuck alone.</i>

180
00:09:53,050 --> 00:09:55,094
{\an8}<i>[laughs]</i>

181
00:09:55,136 --> 00:09:56,929
{\an8}<i>Nothing quite so complicated.</i>

182
00:09:56,971 --> 00:09:59,181
{\an8}<i>I just want the firm to be</i>
{\an8}<i>strong enough,</i>

183
00:09:59,223 --> 00:10:01,892
{\an8}<i>resilient enough to thrive,</i>
{\an8}<i>even if I'm gone.</i>

184
00:10:01,934 --> 00:10:04,604
{\an8}<i>Is there some legal announcement</i>
{\an8}<i>forthcoming,</i>

185
00:10:04,645 --> 00:10:08,107
{\an8}<i>or dare I say, prognosis</i>
{\an8}<i>you would wish to impart?</i>

186
00:10:08,149 --> 00:10:10,276
{\an8}<i>I get it.</i>
{\an8}<i>In the old regime,</i>

187
00:10:10,318 --> 00:10:12,903
{\an8}<i>you'd receive your trading</i>
{\an8}<i>orders from inside a pine box</i>

188
00:10:12,945 --> 00:10:14,614
{\an8}<i>before you saw</i>
{\an8}<i>a change of leadership.</i>

189
00:10:14,655 --> 00:10:16,949
{\an8}<i>There's a reason why they had</i>
{\an8}<i>to stab Caligula 30 times</i>

190
00:10:16,991 --> 00:10:18,284
{\an8}<i>to haul him out of the palace.</i>

191
00:10:18,326 --> 00:10:20,578
{\an8}<i>Axe Cap was run by diktat.</i>

192
00:10:20,620 --> 00:10:22,913
{\an8}<i>MPC is run by deliberation.</i>

193
00:10:22,955 --> 00:10:25,291
{\an8}<i>Axe Cap was built</i>
{\an8}<i>on shock and surprise.</i>

194
00:10:25,333 --> 00:10:29,337
{\an8}<i>MPC is built on planning</i>
{\an8}<i>and anticipation.</i>

195
00:10:29,378 --> 00:10:31,797
{\an8}<i>Investors shouldn't have</i>
{\an8}<i>to guess what happens</i>

196
00:10:31,839 --> 00:10:33,466
{\an8}<i>if my G650 goes down,</i>

197
00:10:33,507 --> 00:10:35,426
{\an8}<i>or I slide off</i>
{\an8}<i>a steep rock face.</i>

198
00:10:35,468 --> 00:10:38,262
{\an8}<i>By naming a successor, I can--</i>

199
00:10:38,304 --> 00:10:40,181
{\an8}<i>My meeting. My agenda.</i>

200
00:10:40,222 --> 00:10:43,517
{\an8}<i>Oh, uh, this is just a list</i>
{\an8}<i>of my accomplishments.</i>

201
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,355
{\an8}<i>Ergo, the fund's accomplishments</i>
{\an8}<i>under my tenure.</i>

202
00:10:47,396 --> 00:10:49,273
{\an8}<i>Mike's not taking applications.</i>

203
00:10:49,315 --> 00:10:51,108
{\an8}<i>I would never.</i>

204
00:10:51,150 --> 00:10:54,153
{\an8}<i>James Garfield</i>
{\an8}<i>is the better model here.</i>

205
00:10:54,195 --> 00:10:55,863
{\an8}<i>For that vest you're wearing?</i>

206
00:10:55,905 --> 00:10:57,406
{\an8}<i>[chuckles]</i>

207
00:10:57,448 --> 00:10:59,325
{\an8}<i>JG wasn't the showiest</i>
{\an8}<i>candidate.</i>

208
00:10:59,367 --> 00:11:00,826
{\an8}<i>Wasn't even on the first ballot</i>

209
00:11:00,868 --> 00:11:02,411
{\an8}<i>at his own nominating</i>
{\an8}<i>convention.</i>

210
00:11:02,453 --> 00:11:05,831
{\an8}<i>But as the shinier baubles</i>
{\an8}<i>lost their luster,</i>

211
00:11:05,873 --> 00:11:09,585
{\an8}<i>he began to emerge</i>
{\an8}<i>as the solid choice.</i>

212
00:11:09,627 --> 00:11:12,421
{\an8}<i>The consensus choice.</i>

213
00:11:12,463 --> 00:11:14,674
{\an8}<i>As I hope to do now,</i>

214
00:11:14,715 --> 00:11:17,343
{\an8}<i>as opposed</i>
{\an8}<i>to on the 36th ballot.</i>

215
00:11:17,385 --> 00:11:19,095
{\an8}<i>Well, there's only one ballot</i>
{\an8}<i>in this contest.</i>

216
00:11:19,136 --> 00:11:20,763
{\an8}<i>Zero chance you are on it.</i>

217
00:11:20,805 --> 00:11:22,473
{\an8}<i>[Scooter] You're here</i>
{\an8}<i>as parliamentarian.</i>

218
00:11:22,515 --> 00:11:25,476
{\an8}<i>A glorified notetaker, really.</i>
{\an8}<i>Not a voting member.</i>

219
00:11:25,518 --> 00:11:27,687
{\an8}<i>Not even on the ballot.</i>

220
00:11:27,728 --> 00:11:28,854
{\an8}<i>[clicks tongue]</i>

221
00:11:28,896 --> 00:11:30,690
{\an8}<i>Please don't do that again.</i>

222
00:11:30,731 --> 00:11:32,692
{\an8}<i>We need a voice</i>
{\an8}<i>in who replaces you,</i>

223
00:11:32,733 --> 00:11:34,527
{\an8}<i>-however unlikely that may be.</i>
- {\an8}<i>-
- If you're even considering</i>

224
00:11:34,568 --> 00:11:36,404
{\an8}<i>putting Spyros in</i>
{\an8}<i>the line of succession--</i>

225
00:11:36,445 --> 00:11:39,490
- {\an8}<i>-
- Zero chance.</i>
- {\an8}<i>-
- Fine, fine.</i>

226
00:11:39,532 --> 00:11:43,035
{\an8}<i>Consensus candidates rarely</i>
{\an8}<i>emerge in the early going.</i>

227
00:11:43,077 --> 00:11:44,829
{\an8}<i>I'll just wait, steadily,</i>

228
00:11:44,870 --> 00:11:48,541
{\an8}<i>reliably, for the factionalism</i>
{\an8}<i>to brew.</i>

229
00:11:48,582 --> 00:11:51,043
{\an8}<i>But your timing</i>
{\an8}<i>couldn't have been better.</i>

230
00:11:51,085 --> 00:11:54,422
{\an8}<i>My designated successor</i>
{\an8}<i>will be one of you.</i>

231
00:11:54,463 --> 00:11:57,258
{\an8}<i>To be decided how,</i>
{\an8}<i>exactly?</i>

232
00:11:57,299 --> 00:11:59,552
{\an8}<i>I was planning on having you</i>
{\an8}<i>speak at the next meeting.</i>

233
00:11:59,593 --> 00:12:01,303
{\an8}<i>Battle of ideas.</i>

234
00:12:01,345 --> 00:12:04,348
{\an8}<i>But why don't we put</i>
{\an8}<i>this thing on its feet?</i>

235
00:12:04,390 --> 00:12:06,392
{\an8}<i>Start defining</i>
{\an8}<i>your command climate now</i>

236
00:12:06,434 --> 00:12:08,561
{\an8}<i>and acting as-if.</i>

237
00:12:08,602 --> 00:12:10,062
{\an8}<i>'Cause it is coming.</i>

238
00:12:16,527 --> 00:12:19,113
{\an8}<i>And you're asking me</i>
{\an8}<i>to read this book?</i>

239
00:12:20,448 --> 00:12:22,575
{\an8}<i>I don't know</i>
{\an8}<i>what I'm asking.</i>

240
00:12:22,616 --> 00:12:24,368
{\an8}<i>You do.</i>

241
00:12:24,410 --> 00:12:26,579
{\an8}<i>Now let yourself</i>
{\an8}<i>tell me.</i>

242
00:12:28,789 --> 00:12:32,918
{\an8}<i>I don't think of myself</i>
{\an8}<i>as a fearful person</i>

243
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,755
{\an8}<i>or a particularly</i>
{\an8}<i>strategic thinker.</i>

244
00:12:35,796 --> 00:12:38,299
{\an8}<i>As to the first,</i>

245
00:12:38,340 --> 00:12:42,970
{\an8}<i>the job of living is the job</i>
{\an8}<i>of understanding that fear.</i>

246
00:12:43,012 --> 00:12:44,555
{\an8}<i>As to the second...</i>

247
00:12:45,973 --> 00:12:47,767
{\an8}<i>this, right here,</i>
{\an8}<i>is the place</i>

248
00:12:47,808 --> 00:12:51,437
{\an8}<i>we give up the lies we tell</i>
{\an8}<i>ourselves about who we are.</i>

249
00:12:51,479 --> 00:12:55,566
{\an8}<i>I said something so similar</i>
{\an8}<i>to somebody recently.</i>

250
00:12:55,608 --> 00:12:57,443
{\an8}<i>But, shit, yes.</i>

251
00:12:57,485 --> 00:12:58,944
{\an8}<i>Daniel, yes.</i>

252
00:12:58,986 --> 00:13:00,571
{\an8}<i>It applies here too.</i>

253
00:13:00,613 --> 00:13:02,406
{\an8}<i>I did something</i>
{\an8}<i>that was both strategic</i>

254
00:13:02,448 --> 00:13:05,201
{\an8}<i>and driven by fear today.</i>

255
00:13:05,242 --> 00:13:07,787
{\an8}<i>I engineered a way</i>
{\an8}<i>to distract the subjects</i>

256
00:13:07,828 --> 00:13:10,289
{\an8}<i>of the book</i>
{\an8}<i>with the book itself.</i>

257
00:13:10,331 --> 00:13:13,417
{\an8}<i>That way, they would lobby me</i>
{\an8}<i>about how they were portrayed</i>

258
00:13:13,459 --> 00:13:15,795
{\an8}<i>instead of if they'd only</i>
{\an8}<i>heard about it,</i>

259
00:13:15,836 --> 00:13:17,630
{\an8}<i>trying to get me</i>
{\an8}<i>not to publish it.</i>

260
00:13:17,671 --> 00:13:21,801
{\an8}<i>So preying on their fear</i>
{\an8}<i>while giving in to your own.</i>

261
00:13:23,344 --> 00:13:25,387
{\an8}<i>I'd like to tell myself</i>
{\an8}<i>that's not the case.</i>

262
00:13:27,014 --> 00:13:28,641
{\an8}<i>Have you considered</i>
{\an8}<i>the other choice?</i>

263
00:13:30,017 --> 00:13:32,061
{\an8}<i>Not publishing?</i>

264
00:13:32,102 --> 00:13:34,438
- {\an8}<i>-
- You think I shouldn't publish?</i>
- {\an8}<i>-
- No.</i>

265
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,107
{\an8}<i>I'm not sharing</i>
{\an8}<i>that opinion.</i>

266
00:13:37,149 --> 00:13:39,819
{\an8}<i>I'm asking a different question.</i>

267
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,990
{\an8}<i>What would it feel like</i>
{\an8}<i>to hold back?</i>

268
00:13:45,032 --> 00:13:46,575
{\an8}<i>It feels...</i>

269
00:13:48,702 --> 00:13:51,372
{\an8}<i>writing it felt like</i>
{\an8}<i>letting the bile out.</i>

270
00:13:51,413 --> 00:13:53,332
{\an8}<i>Like coming clean.</i>

271
00:13:53,374 --> 00:13:55,334
{\an8}<i>Like a chance to redeem</i>
{\an8}<i>not only myself,</i>

272
00:13:55,376 --> 00:13:57,044
{\an8}<i>but the people</i>
{\an8}<i>who do this work</i>

273
00:13:57,086 --> 00:13:58,712
{\an8}<i>and the people who want to.</i>

274
00:13:58,754 --> 00:14:02,132
{\an8}<i>Or is this the performance</i>
{\an8}<i>of all that?</i>

275
00:14:03,509 --> 00:14:06,679
{\an8}<i>Of letting go</i>
{\an8}<i>of the need for power</i>

276
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,181
{\an8}<i>and influence and money</i>

277
00:14:09,223 --> 00:14:12,560
{\an8}<i>while still feeding</i>
{\an8}<i>all those same needs.</i>

278
00:14:14,311 --> 00:14:16,856
{\an8}<i>Are you finally putting</i>
{\an8}<i>those temptations to bed?</i>

279
00:14:17,898 --> 00:14:19,567
{\an8}<i>Or are you fueling them?</i>

280
00:14:22,653 --> 00:14:24,071
{\an8}<i>Is that what it is?</i>

281
00:14:25,322 --> 00:14:27,157
{\an8}<i>Probably not.</i>

282
00:14:27,199 --> 00:14:29,368
{\an8}<i>Well, it's probably</i>
{\an8}<i>as you say.</i>

283
00:14:29,410 --> 00:14:32,037
{\an8}<i>The arrow launched</i>
{\an8}<i>from the bow,</i>

284
00:14:32,079 --> 00:14:34,039
{\an8}<i>point of no return</i>
{\an8}<i>and all that.</i>

285
00:14:37,668 --> 00:14:38,878
{\an8}<i>Right?</i>

286
00:14:47,094 --> 00:14:49,096
- <i>-
- Nihao.</i>
- {\an8}<i>-
- Thanks.</i>

287
00:14:49,138 --> 00:14:50,598
{\an8}<i>[speaking Chinese]</i>

288
00:14:50,639 --> 00:14:52,349
{\an8}<i>How was China?</i>

289
00:14:52,391 --> 00:14:54,935
{\an8}<i>Here.</i> <i>Li shang wang lai.</i>

290
00:14:54,977 --> 00:14:56,478
{\an8}<i>Traditional gift-giving.</i>

291
00:14:59,773 --> 00:15:01,984
{\an8}<i>You don't open it</i>
{\an8}<i>in front of the giver.</i>

292
00:15:02,026 --> 00:15:04,486
{\an8}<i>Philip is correct,</i>
{\an8}<i>you heathen.</i>

293
00:15:04,528 --> 00:15:06,280
{\an8}<i>Thank you for your worldliness,</i>
{\an8}<i>Philip.</i>

294
00:15:06,322 --> 00:15:07,948
{\an8}<i>Makes sense that Prince</i>
{\an8}<i>is considering you for--</i>

295
00:15:07,990 --> 00:15:09,366
{\an8}<i>Was surprised you weren't</i>
{\an8}<i>in the room.</i>

296
00:15:09,408 --> 00:15:11,160
{\an8}<i>I was still in the air,</i>
{\an8}<i>flying back.</i>

297
00:15:11,201 --> 00:15:12,828
- {\an8}<i>-
- Must've been why.</i>
- {\an8}<i>-
- Right.</i>

298
00:15:12,870 --> 00:15:14,455
{\an8}<i>You want to give this place</i>
{\an8}<i>a real gift?</i>

299
00:15:14,496 --> 00:15:16,123
{\an8}<i>Get this Wendy Rhoades book</i>
{\an8}<i>spiked.</i>

300
00:15:16,165 --> 00:15:17,791
{\an8}<i>Chronicles the era</i>
{\an8}<i>before my time here mostly,</i>

301
00:15:17,833 --> 00:15:19,126
{\an8}<i>but it's distracting folks.</i>

302
00:15:19,168 --> 00:15:20,669
- {\an8}<i>-
- You read it?</i>
- {\an8}<i>-
- On the plane.</i>

303
00:15:20,711 --> 00:15:22,171
{\an8}<i>A real page-turner.</i>

304
00:15:22,212 --> 00:15:24,423
{\an8}<i>The raw portrayals,</i>
{\an8}<i>the ugliness.</i>

305
00:15:24,465 --> 00:15:26,091
{\an8}<i>Morale was so good</i>
{\an8}<i>after the party,</i>

306
00:15:26,133 --> 00:15:28,010
{\an8}<i>but at the moment,</i>
{\an8}<i>it ain't great.</i>

307
00:15:28,052 --> 00:15:31,430
{\an8}<i>[scoffs] I find Wendy's</i>
{\an8}<i>work kind of fascinating.</i>

308
00:15:31,472 --> 00:15:34,058
{\an8}<i>And Lance isn't a wholly</i>
{\an8}<i>inaccurate depiction.</i>

309
00:15:34,099 --> 00:15:35,893
{\an8}<i>"Dark, dangerous looks,</i>

310
00:15:35,935 --> 00:15:38,520
{\an8}<i>and a knife fighter's attitude</i>
{\an8}<i>towards the stock market."</i>

311
00:15:38,562 --> 00:15:39,897
{\an8}<i>Depiction of who?</i>

312
00:15:39,939 --> 00:15:41,273
{\an8}<i>Me.</i>

313
00:15:41,315 --> 00:15:43,859
{\an8}<i>Uh, by my read,</i>
{\an8}<i>Lance is clearly Victor.</i>

314
00:15:43,901 --> 00:15:45,277
- {\an8}<i>-
- That's right.</i>
- {\an8}<i>-
- But I thought...</i>

315
00:15:46,612 --> 00:15:48,530
{\an8}<i>Wait, then who am I?</i>

316
00:15:48,572 --> 00:15:50,366
{\an8}<i>Ooh, Tom. You're Tom.</i>

317
00:15:53,494 --> 00:15:57,247
{\an8}<i>"With a trading style as crisp</i>
{\an8}<i>as a basket of unfolded laundry.</i>

318
00:15:57,289 --> 00:16:00,125
{\an8}<i>Aggressive enough?</i>
{\an8}<i>Time would tell.</i>

319
00:16:00,167 --> 00:16:02,878
{\an8}<i>But a world away</i>
{\an8}<i>from the typical alphas."</i>

320
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:04,588
{\an8}<i>There you go.</i>

321
00:16:04,630 --> 00:16:06,632
{\an8}<i>Crap. This character</i>
{\an8}<i>is clueless.</i>

322
00:16:06,674 --> 00:16:08,175
{\an8}<i>And he's barely even in it.</i>

323
00:16:08,217 --> 00:16:09,635
{\an8}<i>Wags, you've gotta talk</i>
{\an8}<i>to Prince</i>

324
00:16:09,677 --> 00:16:11,303
{\an8}<i>and get him to stop</i>
{\an8}<i>this damn book.</i>

325
00:16:11,345 --> 00:16:13,347
{\an8}<i>Bigger issues on my desktop</i>
{\an8}<i>at the moment.</i>

326
00:16:18,018 --> 00:16:19,478
{\an8}<i>[mouthing silently]</i>

327
00:16:24,525 --> 00:16:26,443
{\an8}<i>What's up, gents?</i>

328
00:16:27,987 --> 00:16:29,822
{\an8}<i>I come bearing gifts,</i>

329
00:16:29,863 --> 00:16:31,448
{\an8}<i>and I'm not just talking</i>
{\an8}<i>about red gift-wrapped crap</i>

330
00:16:31,490 --> 00:16:33,283
{\an8}<i>I picked up at duty-free.</i>

331
00:16:33,325 --> 00:16:35,160
- {\an8}<i>-
- We're listening.</i>
- {\an8}<i>-
- I've got a way for us to slide,</i>

332
00:16:35,202 --> 00:16:37,121
{\an8}<i>gigolo-style,</i>
{\an8}<i>into a Chinese payday.</i>

333
00:16:37,162 --> 00:16:38,914
{\an8}<i>It's</i>
{\an8}<i>infrastructure-as-investment,</i>

334
00:16:38,956 --> 00:16:42,334
{\an8}<i>a major Peeps Republic play</i>
{\an8}<i>in hydroelectric dams</i>

335
00:16:42,376 --> 00:16:44,670
{\an8}<i>and high-speed rail</i>
{\an8}<i>across Asia.</i>

336
00:16:44,712 --> 00:16:46,088
{\an8}<i>I set the table for you.</i>

337
00:16:46,130 --> 00:16:48,924
- {\an8}<i>Manchu-
- Han Imperial</i>  {\an8}<i>Banquet-style.</i>

338
00:16:48,966 --> 00:16:50,843
{\an8}<i>All you need to do</i>
{\an8}<i>is lend your name</i>

339
00:16:50,884 --> 00:16:53,012
{\an8}<i>so it all passes the smell test</i>
{\an8}<i>with Western investors,</i>

340
00:16:53,053 --> 00:16:54,763
{\an8}<i>and sit back and collect</i>
{\an8}<i>your profits.</i>

341
00:16:54,805 --> 00:16:56,515
{\an8}<i>[snaps fingers]</i>
{\an8}<i>Oh!</i>

342
00:16:56,557 --> 00:16:58,600
{\an8}<i>And you don't even need</i>
{\an8}<i>to get on the flight.</i>

343
00:16:58,642 --> 00:17:00,352
{\an8}<i>Just show up to a meeting</i>
{\an8}<i>with the partners</i>

344
00:17:00,394 --> 00:17:02,771
{\an8}<i>and some highly motivated</i>
{\an8}<i>party officials</i>

345
00:17:02,813 --> 00:17:04,273
{\an8}<i>who are in New York</i>
{\an8}<i>this week,</i>

346
00:17:04,314 --> 00:17:07,484
{\an8}<i>and watch the renminbi</i>
{\an8}<i>come pouring in.</i>

347
00:17:09,445 --> 00:17:11,071
{\an8}<i>Yeah, this is a probably not.</i>

348
00:17:11,113 --> 00:17:13,532
{\an8}<i>Sorry, but we're on</i>
{\an8}<i>our way out.</i>

349
00:17:13,574 --> 00:17:15,325
{\an8}<i>Hold on.</i>
{\an8}<i>This is free money.</i>

350
00:17:15,367 --> 00:17:17,786
{\an8}<i>This is Amazon in '99.</i>
{\an8}<i>This is Bitcoin in '09.</i>

351
00:17:17,828 --> 00:17:19,163
- {\an8}<i>-
- This is--</i>
- {\an8}<i>-
- Like he said.</i>

352
00:17:19,204 --> 00:17:20,372
{\an8}<i>And like he said.</i>

353
00:17:22,124 --> 00:17:24,001
{\an8}<i>You didn't even take your...</i>

354
00:17:24,043 --> 00:17:25,419
{\an8}<i>What?</i>

355
00:17:32,926 --> 00:17:34,386
{\an8}<i>[knocks]</i>

356
00:17:36,096 --> 00:17:37,306
{\an8}<i>[laughs]</i>

357
00:17:45,397 --> 00:17:47,316
{\an8}<i>You know, Kate,</i>
{\an8}<i>I kept checking the door</i>

358
00:17:47,357 --> 00:17:50,235
{\an8}<i>at that sad fiesta</i>
{\an8}<i>Dave threw for me.</i>

359
00:17:51,528 --> 00:17:53,238
{\an8}<i>But you didn't show.</i>

360
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,075
{\an8}<i>Seemed like it might change</i>
{\an8}<i>the focus of the event.</i>

361
00:17:56,116 --> 00:17:58,368
{\an8}<i>But I did want to make sure</i>
{\an8}<i>to come see you.</i>

362
00:17:58,410 --> 00:18:00,662
{\an8}<i>To congratulate you.</i>

363
00:18:00,704 --> 00:18:03,707
{\an8}<i>To see what's next.</i>
{\an8}<i>To raise a toast to you.</i>

364
00:18:03,749 --> 00:18:05,042
{\an8}<i>Oh.</i>

365
00:18:07,086 --> 00:18:08,921
{\an8}<i>[chuckles]</i>

366
00:18:10,089 --> 00:18:11,799
{\an8}<i>The thing is,</i>

367
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,467
{\an8}<i>because I trained you...</i>

368
00:18:13,509 --> 00:18:16,804
{\an8}<i>and, to be fair,</i>
{\an8}<i>your father before me...</i>

369
00:18:16,845 --> 00:18:20,933
{\an8}<i>and because of your current role</i>
{\an8}<i>as Prince's Leslie Abramson...</i>

370
00:18:20,974 --> 00:18:23,560
{\an8}<i>Nice pull. Abramson didn't</i>
{\an8}<i>win all that much,</i>

371
00:18:23,602 --> 00:18:26,105
{\an8}<i>so I don't really see</i>
{\an8}<i>the similarity, but...</i>

372
00:18:26,146 --> 00:18:28,607
{\an8}<i>-[chuckles]</i>
- {\an8}<i>-
- Oh, I miss this</i>

373
00:18:28,649 --> 00:18:30,150
{\an8}<i>back and forth,</i>

374
00:18:30,192 --> 00:18:31,568
{\an8}<i>the genuine rapport</i>
{\an8}<i>we always had.</i>

375
00:18:31,610 --> 00:18:33,654
{\an8}<i>One of the reasons why</i>
{\an8}<i>I was so excited</i>

376
00:18:33,695 --> 00:18:35,781
{\an8}<i>when Prince offered you</i>
{\an8}<i>a role in one of his...</i>

377
00:18:37,449 --> 00:18:39,701
{\an8}<i>So this isn't merely</i>
{\an8}<i>a social call.</i>

378
00:18:39,743 --> 00:18:42,204
{\an8}<i>Well, as you said,</i>
{\an8}<i>you trained me.</i>

379
00:18:42,246 --> 00:18:44,873
{\an8}<i>Social calls weren't really part</i>
{\an8}<i>of the curriculum, were they?</i>

380
00:18:44,915 --> 00:18:47,543
{\an8}<i>Well, you left before</i>
{\an8}<i>the education was finished.</i>

381
00:18:47,584 --> 00:18:50,629
{\an8}<i>Here's a chance for us</i>
{\an8}<i>to learn together.</i>

382
00:18:51,672 --> 00:18:52,965
{\an8}<i>Grow together.</i>

383
00:18:54,007 --> 00:18:55,467
{\an8}<i>We joining Amway?</i>

384
00:18:55,509 --> 00:18:56,927
{\an8}<i>[laughs]</i>

385
00:18:56,969 --> 00:18:58,637
{\an8}<i>If Amway were</i>
{\an8}<i>as highly functioning,</i>

386
00:18:58,679 --> 00:19:00,597
{\an8}<i>efficient and collegial</i>
{\an8}<i>as Prince's organization,</i>

387
00:19:00,639 --> 00:19:02,266
- {\an8}<i>-
- I'd be all for it.</i>
- {\an8}<i>-
- Oh.</i>

388
00:19:02,307 --> 00:19:03,809
{\an8}<i>Except there's no way</i>
{\an8}<i>it's as lucrative.</i>

389
00:19:03,851 --> 00:19:05,144
{\an8}<i>That good, huh?</i>

390
00:19:06,395 --> 00:19:07,771
{\an8}<i>Water's warm, Chuck.</i>

391
00:19:07,813 --> 00:19:09,148
{\an8}<i>And welcoming.</i>

392
00:19:10,607 --> 00:19:13,026
{\an8}<i>In this post-everything</i>
{\an8}<i>environment,</i>

393
00:19:13,068 --> 00:19:16,822
{\an8}<i>with the world shrinking for</i>
{\an8}<i>someone your age and profile...</i>

394
00:19:16,864 --> 00:19:19,324
{\an8}<i>Prince offer might the best</i>
{\an8}<i>coming down the pike.</i>

395
00:19:21,410 --> 00:19:23,579
{\an8}<i>[laughs]</i>

396
00:19:23,620 --> 00:19:25,664
{\an8}<i>Oh, here's to you, Kate.</i>

397
00:19:25,706 --> 00:19:27,249
{\an8}<i>They may have made others</i>
{\an8}<i>like you,</i>

398
00:19:27,291 --> 00:19:28,792
{\an8}<i>but I ain't</i>
{\an8}<i>come across one.</i>

399
00:19:30,878 --> 00:19:32,045
{\an8}<i>Mm...</i>

400
00:19:33,130 --> 00:19:35,007
{\an8}<i>And as to your mission,</i>

401
00:19:35,048 --> 00:19:37,384
{\an8}<i>I will answer in due time.</i>

402
00:19:38,594 --> 00:19:40,345
{\an8}<i>I thought it was bad form</i>

403
00:19:40,387 --> 00:19:42,306
{\an8}<i>to have that Scooter Dunbar</i>
{\an8}<i>come to me as a surrogate,</i>

404
00:19:42,347 --> 00:19:43,557
{\an8}<i>but I put that aside.</i>

405
00:19:43,599 --> 00:19:45,601
{\an8}<i>And I have been pondering.</i>

406
00:19:45,642 --> 00:19:47,436
{\an8}<i>And I give you my oath</i>

407
00:19:47,477 --> 00:19:50,606
{\an8}<i>that I will surface</i>
{\an8}<i>a proper response.</i>

408
00:19:50,647 --> 00:19:53,025
{\an8}<i>I have, in fact,</i>
{\an8}<i>been working on one.</i>

409
00:19:54,318 --> 00:19:55,861
{\an8}<i>Prince.</i>

410
00:19:55,903 --> 00:19:58,197
{\an8}<i>[inhales sharply]</i>
{\an8}<i>You know, the thing is, Chuck,</i>

411
00:19:58,238 --> 00:20:00,699
{\an8}<i>Prince doesn't lose.</i>

412
00:20:01,825 --> 00:20:03,368
{\an8}<i>Not for long.</i>

413
00:20:03,410 --> 00:20:05,662
{\an8}<i>Seems to me he always</i>
{\an8}<i>gets what he wants,</i>

414
00:20:05,704 --> 00:20:08,207
{\an8}<i>and right now</i>

415
00:20:08,248 --> 00:20:11,210
{\an8}<i>what he wants is you.</i>

416
00:20:14,713 --> 00:20:17,382
{\an8}<i>You had to assume,</i>
{\an8}<i>you had to know...</i>

417
00:20:19,218 --> 00:20:22,554
{\an8}<i>you had to have told him that</i>
{\an8}<i>I would be in a warring posture</i>

418
00:20:22,596 --> 00:20:25,849
{\an8}<i>toward the man who took</i>
{\an8}<i>what I was away from me.</i>

419
00:20:28,644 --> 00:20:30,896
{\an8}<i>Even if you knew I'd hold</i>
{\an8}<i>no ill will toward you,</i>

420
00:20:30,938 --> 00:20:34,024
{\an8}<i>who no doubt</i>
{\an8}<i>orchestrated it all.</i>

421
00:20:34,066 --> 00:20:35,859
{\an8}<i>And I hold no ill will</i>
{\an8}<i>toward you.</i>

422
00:20:37,110 --> 00:20:40,280
{\an8}<i>This, right now,</i>
{\an8}<i>is me at my kindest.</i>

423
00:20:40,322 --> 00:20:42,074
{\an8}<i>I knew all that,</i>

424
00:20:42,115 --> 00:20:44,243
{\an8}<i>and I came here anyway</i>
{\an8}<i>to tell you</i>

425
00:20:44,284 --> 00:20:46,453
{\an8}<i>that this is the moment</i>
{\an8}<i>you accept who you are</i>

426
00:20:46,495 --> 00:20:48,372
{\an8}<i>and not who you were,</i>

427
00:20:48,413 --> 00:20:50,582
{\an8}<i>and to find something</i>
{\an8}<i>in the wide world of Prince</i>

428
00:20:50,624 --> 00:20:52,000
{\an8}<i>that you want to do.</i>

429
00:20:54,336 --> 00:20:56,421
{\an8}<i>There may be other paths</i>
{\an8}<i>for you, but they all--</i>

430
00:20:56,463 --> 00:20:58,924
{\an8}<i>every highway,</i>
{\an8}<i>dirty road and gravel path--</i>

431
00:20:58,966 --> 00:21:00,717
{\an8}<i>lead one way:</i>

432
00:21:02,761 --> 00:21:06,139
{\an8}<i>to the even more complete</i>
{\an8}<i>destruction of Chuck Rhoades.</i>

433
00:21:26,493 --> 00:21:28,578
{\an8}<i>You, Mike Prince,</i>

434
00:21:28,620 --> 00:21:30,831
{\an8}<i>want a guaranteed income</i>
{\an8}<i>for New Yorkers?</i>

435
00:21:30,872 --> 00:21:32,124
{\an8}<i>That's right.</i>

436
00:21:32,165 --> 00:21:34,793
{\an8}<i>Cancer diagnosis?</i>
{\an8}<i>Tax dodge?</i>

437
00:21:34,835 --> 00:21:36,420
{\an8}<i>Ashton Kutcher and friends</i>

438
00:21:36,461 --> 00:21:38,088
{\an8}<i>going to come out of retirement</i>
{\an8}<i>to punk me?</i>

439
00:21:38,130 --> 00:21:40,299
{\an8}<i>Just a plan to lift this city</i>
{\an8}<i>off its knees.</i>

440
00:21:40,340 --> 00:21:42,676
{\an8}<i>My press guy, who knows how</i>
{\an8}<i>I feel about your tax bracket,</i>

441
00:21:42,718 --> 00:21:44,511
{\an8}<i>that it shouldn't exist,</i>

442
00:21:44,553 --> 00:21:47,514
{\an8}<i>he was ready to leak the fuck</i>
{\an8}<i>out of this meeting.</i>

443
00:21:47,556 --> 00:21:49,349
{\an8}<i>He'll be fine. We're</i>
{\an8}<i>about to give him plenty to do.</i>

444
00:21:49,391 --> 00:21:50,976
{\an8}<i>I'm Brooklyn borough president,</i>

445
00:21:51,018 --> 00:21:52,644
{\an8}<i>but City Council</i>
{\an8}<i>has say over funds.</i>

446
00:21:52,686 --> 00:21:54,313
{\an8}<i>They won't go along</i>
{\an8}<i>with this.</i>

447
00:21:54,354 --> 00:21:55,981
{\an8}<i>You've got discretionary funds.</i>

448
00:21:56,023 --> 00:21:58,191
- {\an8}<i>-
- Not on that scale.</i>
- {\an8}<i>-
- Then pull a Bull Moose.</i>

449
00:21:58,233 --> 00:21:59,985
{\an8}<i>When T.R.,</i>
{\an8}<i>the original Rough Rider,</i>

450
00:22:00,027 --> 00:22:01,570
{\an8}<i>wanted to send his</i>
{\an8}<i>Great White Fleet of battleships</i>

451
00:22:01,611 --> 00:22:03,947
{\an8}<i>around the world</i>
{\an8}<i>as a show of naval power,</i>

452
00:22:03,989 --> 00:22:05,824
{\an8}<i>Congress wouldn't</i>
{\an8}<i>foot the bill.</i>

453
00:22:05,866 --> 00:22:08,493
{\an8}<i>So he scraped together enough</i>
{\an8}<i>to send them halfway.</i>

454
00:22:08,535 --> 00:22:10,495
{\an8}<i>Told Congress,</i>
{\an8}<i>"You want to bring 'em home,</i>

455
00:22:10,537 --> 00:22:11,580
{\an8}<i>well, that's up to you."</i>

456
00:22:11,621 --> 00:22:13,415
{\an8}<i>Announce the program,</i>

457
00:22:13,457 --> 00:22:15,834
{\an8}<i>and then shame the progressive</i>
{\an8}<i>wing of the council</i>

458
00:22:15,876 --> 00:22:17,336
{\an8}<i>into coming along with it.</i>

459
00:22:17,377 --> 00:22:19,421
{\an8}<i>This time Brooklyn makes,</i>

460
00:22:19,463 --> 00:22:21,798
{\an8}<i>the rest of the world takes.</i>

461
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,093
{\an8}<i>Mike Money starts here and now.</i>

462
00:22:27,220 --> 00:22:29,598
{\an8}<i>[clears throat]</i>

463
00:22:29,639 --> 00:22:32,976
{\an8}<i>Yeah, don't leak the meeting</i>
{\an8}<i>to the</i> <i>Times.</i>

464
00:22:33,018 --> 00:22:35,854
{\an8}<i>We're gonna give them</i>
{\an8}<i>a much bigger story.</i>

465
00:23:13,934 --> 00:23:15,477
{\an8}<i>Motherhusker.</i>

466
00:23:18,105 --> 00:23:19,898
{\an8}<i>[sighs]</i>

467
00:23:19,940 --> 00:23:21,566
{\an8}<i>When I first arrived,</i>

468
00:23:21,608 --> 00:23:23,402
{\an8}<i>you probably knew me</i>
{\an8}<i>as a data cruncher.</i>

469
00:23:23,443 --> 00:23:24,903
{\an8}<i>I was green,</i>
{\an8}<i>so the sun rose and set</i>

470
00:23:24,945 --> 00:23:26,405
{\an8}<i>with the numbers for me.</i>

471
00:23:26,446 --> 00:23:27,739
{\an8}<i>And, sure,</i>
{\an8}<i>the results were good--</i>

472
00:23:27,781 --> 00:23:29,574
{\an8}<i>market-beating.</i>

473
00:23:29,616 --> 00:23:31,076
{\an8}<i>Someone's confidence level</i>
{\an8}<i>is market-beating too.</i>

474
00:23:31,118 --> 00:23:32,577
{\an8}<i>And they're being tapped</i>
{\an8}<i>for leadership,</i>

475
00:23:32,619 --> 00:23:33,578
{\an8}<i>but when I do that,</i>
{\an8}<i>it's called--</i>

476
00:23:33,620 --> 00:23:34,579
{\an8}<i>Obnoxious.</i>

477
00:23:35,789 --> 00:23:37,207
{\an8}<i>I was gonna say</i>
{\an8}<i>too aggressive.</i>

478
00:23:37,249 --> 00:23:38,417
{\an8}<i>Jeez.</i>

479
00:23:38,458 --> 00:23:40,043
{\an8}<i>[Taylor]</i>
{\an8}<i>But time has passed,</i>

480
00:23:40,085 --> 00:23:41,670
{\an8}<i>and now I have experience.</i>

481
00:23:41,711 --> 00:23:43,130
{\an8}<i>I've been through the wars</i>
{\an8}<i>and bear my scars</i>

482
00:23:43,171 --> 00:23:44,423
{\an8}<i>and my wins.</i>

483
00:23:44,464 --> 00:23:45,924
{\an8}<i>But I have also evolved.</i>

484
00:23:45,966 --> 00:23:47,884
{\an8}<i>Now I recognize events.</i>

485
00:23:47,926 --> 00:23:49,428
{\an8}<i>And when I see one, I have got</i>
{\an8}<i>the stomach to go all in--</i>

486
00:23:49,469 --> 00:23:51,263
{\an8}<i>Shooter, shooter, coming out!</i>

487
00:23:51,304 --> 00:23:52,472
{\an8}<i>Excuse me?</i>

488
00:23:52,514 --> 00:23:54,641
{\an8}<i>What you're describing is--</i>

489
00:23:54,683 --> 00:23:56,143
{\an8}<i>An event-driven approach,</i>

490
00:23:56,184 --> 00:23:57,602
{\an8}<i>combined with early-stage</i>
{\an8}<i>investment</i>

491
00:23:57,644 --> 00:23:58,812
{\an8}<i>in hyper-growth companies.</i>

492
00:23:58,854 --> 00:24:00,272
{\an8}<i>Disruptors...</i>

493
00:24:00,313 --> 00:24:02,023
{\an8}<i>And that sounds</i>
{\an8}<i>pretty damn good.</i>

494
00:24:02,065 --> 00:24:04,151
{\an8}<i>[Philip] What it sounds like is,</i>
{\an8}<i>you're a gunslinger.</i>

495
00:24:04,192 --> 00:24:06,695
{\an8}<i>Sexy rap, but what's the process</i>
{\an8}<i>going to be?</i>

496
00:24:06,736 --> 00:24:08,196
{\an8}<i>Everyone here</i>
{\an8}<i>knows I'm thorough,</i>

497
00:24:08,238 --> 00:24:10,240
{\an8}<i>and my process</i>
{\an8}<i>will be solid.</i>

498
00:24:10,282 --> 00:24:12,701
{\an8}<i>But more importantly, that I</i>
{\an8}<i>don't have to conform to styles.</i>

499
00:24:12,742 --> 00:24:15,078
{\an8}<i>I can see the way the pieces</i>
{\an8}<i>are moving and make a big call.</i>

500
00:24:15,120 --> 00:24:16,705
{\an8}<i>[Philip]</i>
{\an8}<i>Sure, you're John Tuld,</i>

501
00:24:16,746 --> 00:24:18,373
{\an8}<i>and you know when</i>
{\an8}<i>the music's going to stop.</i>

502
00:24:18,415 --> 00:24:19,916
{\an8}<i>And the result could be</i>
{\an8}<i>a hot quarter,</i>

503
00:24:19,958 --> 00:24:22,627
{\an8}<i>but over time,</i>
{\an8}<i>once your barrels cool off,</i>

504
00:24:22,669 --> 00:24:24,588
{\an8}<i>what's the work environment</i>
{\an8}<i>gonna be like?</i>

505
00:24:24,629 --> 00:24:26,798
{\an8}<i>I mean, this place was already</i>
{\an8}<i>a Wild West show.</i>

506
00:24:28,008 --> 00:24:29,634
{\an8}<i>I, too, would like to know.</i>

507
00:24:30,677 --> 00:24:32,888
{\an8}<i>Yep. Me too.</i>

508
00:24:32,929 --> 00:24:34,639
{\an8}<i>[Victor] Yeah, you gonna</i>
{\an8}<i>peel people off</i>

509
00:24:34,681 --> 00:24:36,308
{\an8}<i>at the slightest sign</i>
{\an8}<i>of a downturn?</i>

510
00:24:36,349 --> 00:24:38,268
{\an8}<i>[Ben Kim] It's always</i>
{\an8}<i>really the highest earner</i>

511
00:24:38,310 --> 00:24:39,478
{\an8}<i>who commands</i>
{\an8}<i>the most respect,</i>

512
00:24:39,519 --> 00:24:40,937
{\an8}<i>so if you were in charge,</i>

513
00:24:40,979 --> 00:24:42,898
{\an8}<i>what would the leadership</i>
{\an8}<i>climate be?</i>

514
00:24:42,939 --> 00:24:45,150
{\an8}<i>Tough but fair.</i>
{\an8}<i>Results-based.</i>

515
00:24:45,192 --> 00:24:47,319
{\an8}<i>You deliver, you'll get room</i>
{\an8}<i>to run, innovate.</i>

516
00:24:47,360 --> 00:24:49,863
{\an8}<i>You stumble, things tighten up.</i>
{\an8}<i>That's the reality.</i>

517
00:24:49,905 --> 00:24:52,157
{\an8}<i>You want hugs and tea?</i>
{\an8}<i>Go to an ashram.</i>

518
00:24:52,199 --> 00:24:54,743
{\an8}<i>You want to get rich,</i>
{\an8}<i>come to me.</i>

519
00:24:56,036 --> 00:24:57,829
{\an8}<i>You here to make money</i>
{\an8}<i>or friends?</i>

520
00:24:57,871 --> 00:25:00,999
{\an8}<i>That's really the only question</i>
{\an8}<i>you need to ask.</i>

521
00:25:01,041 --> 00:25:03,251
{\an8}<i>I've got one other question.</i>

522
00:25:03,293 --> 00:25:05,545
{\an8}<i>What's for lunch, Chef?</i>

523
00:25:05,587 --> 00:25:08,298
{\an8}<i>Today, the lunch is from abcV.</i>

524
00:25:08,340 --> 00:25:10,133
{\an8}<i>All plant-based and vegan.</i>

525
00:25:10,175 --> 00:25:11,927
{\an8}<i>We have smoked potato</i>
{\an8}<i>and aioli.</i>

526
00:25:11,968 --> 00:25:14,304
{\an8}<i>We have cauliflower</i>
{\an8}<i>and turmeric.</i>

527
00:25:14,346 --> 00:25:16,306
{\an8}<i>We have some dates,</i>
{\an8}<i>some coconuts,</i>

528
00:25:16,348 --> 00:25:17,766
{\an8}<i>dosas, lentils.</i>

529
00:25:17,807 --> 00:25:19,643
- {\an8}<i>-
- Bon appétit.</i>
- {\an8}<i>-
- Let's eat!</i>

530
00:25:19,684 --> 00:25:20,852
{\an8}<i>Philip...</i>

531
00:25:22,729 --> 00:25:23,897
{\an8}<i>help yourself to a plate...</i>

532
00:25:25,190 --> 00:25:26,775
{\an8}<i>and eat it at your desk.</i>

533
00:25:39,037 --> 00:25:40,205
{\an8}<i>Hmm!</i>

534
00:25:40,247 --> 00:25:42,123
{\an8}<i>If I'd had this before,</i>

535
00:25:42,165 --> 00:25:44,459
{\an8}<i>prosecuting you all would've</i>
{\an8}<i>been a hell of a lot easier.</i>

536
00:25:44,501 --> 00:25:46,670
{\an8}<i>While we're on the subject</i>
{\an8}<i>of career flubs,</i>

537
00:25:46,711 --> 00:25:49,130
{\an8}<i>help me understand</i>
{\an8}<i>what's so fucking toxic</i>

538
00:25:49,172 --> 00:25:51,299
{\an8}<i>about Chinese money</i>
{\an8}<i>all of a sudden?</i>

539
00:25:51,341 --> 00:25:53,385
{\an8}<i>I heard Mike didn't go for your</i>
{\an8}<i>Chinese infrastructure thing.</i>

540
00:25:53,426 --> 00:25:55,470
{\an8}<i>If there's some restricted list</i>
{\an8}<i>I ignored,</i>

541
00:25:55,512 --> 00:25:57,556
{\an8}<i>like every other email</i>
{\an8}<i>in my inbox--</i>

542
00:25:57,597 --> 00:25:59,849
{\an8}<i>No. I signed off on it.</i>
{\an8}<i>Not toxic to me.</i>

543
00:25:59,891 --> 00:26:01,226
{\an8}<i>Or Compliance.</i>
{\an8}<i>Or Risk Management.</i>

544
00:26:01,268 --> 00:26:02,519
{\an8}<i>The fuck am I missing here?</i>

545
00:26:03,562 --> 00:26:05,397
{\an8}<i>Maybe just this.</i>

546
00:26:05,438 --> 00:26:07,148
{\an8}<i>Mike knows a lot of things</i>
{\an8}<i>that we don't.</i>

547
00:26:07,190 --> 00:26:09,818
{\an8}<i>And we both know</i>
{\an8}<i>he's not sloppy or erratic</i>

548
00:26:09,859 --> 00:26:12,279
{\an8}<i>or impulsive,</i>
{\an8}<i>not about anything, ever.</i>

549
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,364
{\an8}<i>So I don't even push?</i>

550
00:26:14,406 --> 00:26:17,075
{\an8}<i>I just leave all the stacks</i>
{\an8}<i>of yuan on the table?</i>

551
00:26:17,117 --> 00:26:20,704
{\an8}<i>All I can tell you is</i>
{\an8}<i>what a good lawyer does:</i>

552
00:26:20,745 --> 00:26:23,123
{\an8}<i>Obey your client's wishes,</i>
{\an8}<i>however ill-advised,</i>

553
00:26:23,164 --> 00:26:24,666
{\an8}<i>but keep all options open,</i>

554
00:26:24,708 --> 00:26:26,585
{\an8}<i>in case they come</i>
{\an8}<i>to their senses.</i>

555
00:26:37,304 --> 00:26:41,224
{\an8}<i>Well, I thought we could have</i>
{\an8}<i>a more honest conversation here.</i>

556
00:26:41,266 --> 00:26:43,435
{\an8}<i>I was honest at the shindig</i>
{\an8}<i>the other day.</i>

557
00:26:43,476 --> 00:26:45,437
{\an8}<i>-[chuckles]</i>
- {\an8}<i>-
- But, yes.</i>

558
00:26:45,478 --> 00:26:47,897
{\an8}<i>Absolutely easier to meet</i>
{\an8}<i>out of the office.</i>

559
00:26:47,939 --> 00:26:50,859
{\an8}<i>You pushed back</i>
{\an8}<i>plenty hard on me.</i>

560
00:26:50,900 --> 00:26:52,235
{\an8}<i>I have to be independent.</i>

561
00:26:52,277 --> 00:26:53,778
{\an8}<i>Of course.</i>

562
00:26:53,820 --> 00:26:57,240
{\an8}<i>But if there are</i>
{\an8}<i>commonalities of interest,</i>

563
00:26:57,282 --> 00:26:58,783
{\an8}<i>paths to success for both of us,</i>

564
00:26:58,825 --> 00:27:00,410
{\an8}<i>I will hear you out.</i>

565
00:27:00,452 --> 00:27:03,830
{\an8}<i>Hear me on why Mike Money</i>
{\an8}<i>is such a good target.</i>

566
00:27:03,872 --> 00:27:06,291
{\an8}<i>Not sure I see it</i>
{\an8}<i>the same way.</i>

567
00:27:06,333 --> 00:27:09,919
{\an8}<i>The "Mike" in Mike Money is the</i>
{\an8}<i>guy who engineered my removal.</i>

568
00:27:09,961 --> 00:27:12,380
{\an8}<i>-[chuckles]</i>
- {\an8}<i>-
- He did that thing.</i>

569
00:27:12,422 --> 00:27:14,674
{\an8}<i>It doesn't mean this thing</i>
{\an8}<i>is all wrong.</i>

570
00:27:14,716 --> 00:27:16,676
{\an8}<i>He wants to give vast sums</i>
{\an8}<i>of money away</i>

571
00:27:16,718 --> 00:27:18,720
{\an8}<i>-to people who need it--</i>
- {\an8}<i>-
- The question to ask yourself</i>

572
00:27:18,762 --> 00:27:20,263
{\an8}<i>when it comes</i>
{\an8}<i>to these magnates is:</i>

573
00:27:20,305 --> 00:27:21,681
{\an8}<i>Why?</i>

574
00:27:21,723 --> 00:27:24,351
{\an8}<i>Why is he giving away</i>
{\an8}<i>this much zloty?</i>

575
00:27:24,392 --> 00:27:26,895
{\an8}<i>Here's a why:</i>

576
00:27:26,936 --> 00:27:29,689
{\an8}<i>Why does it matter</i>
{\an8}<i>if he, in fact,</i>

577
00:27:29,731 --> 00:27:31,566
{\an8}<i>gives this money away</i>
{\an8}<i>with no direct benefit</i>

578
00:27:31,608 --> 00:27:33,109
{\an8}<i>coming back to him,</i>

{\an8}<i>there's always a benefit.</i>

{\an8}<i>the stimmies and invest them,</i>

584
00:27:45,288 --> 00:27:47,582
{\an8}<i>or ride the market wave</i>
{\an8}<i>on the inflow.</i>

585
00:27:47,624 --> 00:27:51,127
{\an8}<i>And let's talk</i>
{\an8}<i>about those vast sums.</i>

586
00:27:51,169 --> 00:27:53,338
{\an8}<i>Where do you imagine</i>
{\an8}<i>they're coming from?</i>

587
00:27:53,380 --> 00:27:56,841
{\an8}<i>His bank account.</i>
{\an8}<i>His money belt.</i>

588
00:27:56,883 --> 00:28:00,512
{\an8}<i>I can't find evidence of that in</i>
{\an8}<i>any of the firm's disclosures.</i>

589
00:28:00,553 --> 00:28:02,806
{\an8}<i>No, Prince hasn't liquidated</i>
{\an8}<i>any positions.</i>

590
00:28:02,847 --> 00:28:04,974
{\an8}<i>In fact, the fund is levered up.</i>

591
00:28:08,061 --> 00:28:10,021
{\an8}<i>My thought is,</i>

592
00:28:10,063 --> 00:28:11,523
{\an8}<i>he's going to borrow</i>
{\an8}<i>against the land</i>

593
00:28:11,564 --> 00:28:14,067
{\an8}<i>he rolled up</i>
{\an8}<i>for the Olympics,</i>

{\an8}<i>can take back by right.</i>

595
00:28:17,529 --> 00:28:19,114
{\an8}<i>He bought it</i>
{\an8}<i>for an express purpose,</i>

596
00:28:19,155 --> 00:28:20,490
{\an8}<i>for which he isn't using it.</i>

597
00:28:20,532 --> 00:28:22,492
{\an8}<i>Can't, in fact.</i>

598
00:28:22,534 --> 00:28:25,161
{\an8}<i>There's truth</i>
{\an8}<i>in what you're saying,</i>

599
00:28:25,203 --> 00:28:28,123
{\an8}<i>but as I sit here</i>
{\an8}<i>chewing it over,</i>

600
00:28:28,164 --> 00:28:29,916
{\an8}<i>I don't want to digest it,</i>

601
00:28:29,958 --> 00:28:31,876
{\an8}<i>because it's starting</i>
{\an8}<i>to taste a bit rank.</i>

602
00:28:31,918 --> 00:28:34,921
{\an8}<i>You went all in</i>
{\an8}<i>against Prince,</i>

603
00:28:34,963 --> 00:28:38,341
{\an8}<i>and if we are honest</i>
{\an8}<i>with each other, you lost.</i>

604
00:28:39,426 --> 00:28:42,345
{\an8}<i>You won a round, but you lost.</i>

605
00:28:42,387 --> 00:28:44,973
{\an8}<i>If same happens to me,</i>

606
00:28:45,014 --> 00:28:47,225
{\an8}<i>all our other work</i>
{\an8}<i>is jeopardized.</i>

607
00:28:48,852 --> 00:28:51,229
{\an8}<i>Not a mistake I want to make.</i>

624
00:29:32,061 --> 00:29:33,646
{\an8}<i>I want to talk about systems.</i>

{\an8}<i>Yeah, the buttoned-down approach</i>

640
00:30:01,508 --> 00:30:03,134
{\an8}<i>I got to be able</i>

641

{\an8}<i>A career.</i>

{\an8}<i>a wholly-owned subsidiary.</i>

724
00:33:02,438 --> 00:33:04,273
- {\an8}<i>-
- Whoever did this did it right.</i>
- {\an8}<i>-
- Hello?</i>

725
00:33:04,315 --> 00:33:06,401
{\an8}<i>Yes, Madame Borough President.</i>

726
00:33:06,442 --> 00:33:07,944
{\an8}<i>I have him right here.</i>

727
00:33:09,404 --> 00:33:11,239
{\an8}<i>-[Faire]</i> <i>Some magic act.</i>
{\an8}<i>-[scoffs]</i>

728

{\an8}<i>Sawing a lady in half</i>
{\an8}<i>while she screams her lungs out.</i>

729
00:33:14,033 --> 00:33:16,494
{\an8}<i>It's a stunt.</i>
{\an8}<i>It's coming down.</i>

730
00:33:16,536 --> 00:33:18,413
{\an8}<i>And the press stories</i>
{\an8}<i>and the Twitter posts?</i>

731
00:33:18,454 --> 00:33:19,998
{\an8}<i>They coming down too?</i>

732
00:33:20,039 --> 00:33:21,833
{\an8}<i>We're tackling</i>
{\an8}<i>income inequality,</i>

733
00:33:21,874 --> 00:33:24,127
{\an8}<i>and you're surprised</i>
{\an8}<i>to find stones in our passway?</i>

734
00:33:24,168 --> 00:33:25,670
<i>You want the blues, Mike?</i>

735
00:33:25,712 --> 00:33:27,255
{\an8}<i>Talk to the OMB.</i>

736
00:33:27,296 --> 00:33:29,507
{\an8}<i>Talk to the Council</i>
{\an8}<i>Finance Committee,</i>

737
00:33:29,549 --> 00:33:32,677
{\an8}<i>'cause they want to know</i>
{\an8}<i>how we go Dutch on Mike Money</i>

738
00:33:32,719 --> 00:33:35,138
{\an8}<i>when you've got more</i>
{\an8}<i>than the whole damn city.</i>

739
00:33:35,179 --> 00:33:37,015
{\an8}<i>It's a one-day story.</i>

740
00:33:38,391 --> 00:33:39,767
{\an8}<i>Clock's ticking.</i>

741
00:33:47,025 --> 00:33:48,860
{\an8}<i>Bonnie, it's so nice to--</i>

742
00:33:48,901 --> 00:33:51,154
{\an8}<i>"Bryn, so tough,</i>

{\an8}<i>"that a friendly pat</i>
{\an8}<i>on the shoulder</i>

744
00:33:52,572 --> 00:33:54,866

745
00:33:54,907 --> 00:33:56,492
{\an8}<i>Fuck that shit.</i>

746
00:33:56,534 --> 00:33:59,203
{\an8}<i>Bryn isn't you, Bonnie.</i>

747
00:33:59,245 --> 00:34:00,455
{\an8}<i>Shit.</i>

748
00:34:01,956 --> 00:34:04,167
{\an8}<i>Yes, she is.</i>
{\an8}<i>She is. You are.</i>

749
00:34:04,208 --> 00:34:05,918
{\an8}<i>You can't do this</i>

750
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,004
{\an8}<i>because it's wrong</i>
{\an8}<i>and unfair,</i>

751
00:34:08,046 --> 00:34:10,423
{\an8}<i>and feels like</i>
{\an8}<i>a violation of trust.</i>

752
00:34:10,465 --> 00:34:12,258
{\an8}<i>We can talk</i>
{\an8}<i>about those feelings.</i>

753
00:34:12,300 --> 00:34:15,053
{\an8}<i>I don't want to talk to you</i>
{\an8}<i>about my feelings ever again.</i>

754
00:34:15,094 --> 00:34:17,096
{\an8}<i>[Bonnie] You made me think</i>
{\an8}<i>that I had feelings,</i>

755
00:34:17,138 --> 00:34:20,975
{\an8}<i>which I was fucking just fine</i>
{\an8}<i>before all of that bullshit.</i>

756
00:34:21,017 --> 00:34:23,186
{\an8}<i>And now I, like, cry.</i>

757
00:34:23,227 --> 00:34:24,729
- {\an8}<i>-
- Really?</i>
- {\an8}<i>-
- You do?</i>

758
00:34:24,771 --> 00:34:27,523
{\an8}<i>Once, but the point is...</i>

759
00:34:27,565 --> 00:34:30,276
{\an8}<i>Fuck, Wendy,</i>
{\an8}<i>what the fuck?</i>

760
00:34:32,779 --> 00:34:35,698
{\an8}<i>The truth isn't always pleasant,</i>
{\an8}<i>but it is useful.</i>

761
00:34:35,740 --> 00:34:38,201
{\an8}<i>Not to this place.</i>
{\an8}<i>It will...</i>

762
00:34:38,242 --> 00:34:39,827
{\an8}<i>Internally,</i>
{\an8}<i>it is causing trouble.</i>

763
00:34:39,869 --> 00:34:41,162
{\an8}<i>And externally,</i>
{\an8}<i>it is going to make us</i>

764
00:34:41,204 --> 00:34:42,580
{\an8}<i>look ridiculous and--</i>

765
00:34:42,622 --> 00:34:44,082
{\an8}<i>I know, a man in your position</i>

766
00:34:44,123 --> 00:34:45,833
{\an8}<i>cannot afford</i>
{\an8}<i>to look ridiculous.</i>

767
00:34:45,875 --> 00:34:48,336
{\an8}<i>I was not going to quote</i>
<i>Godfather</i> {\an8}<i>at you,</i>

768
00:34:48,377 --> 00:34:50,755
{\an8}<i>but now that you have, yes.</i>

769
00:34:50,797 --> 00:34:53,633
{\an8}<i>Look, if there are</i>
{\an8}<i>particular details</i>

770
00:34:53,674 --> 00:34:56,385
{\an8}<i>that you find</i>
{\an8}<i>personally revealing--</i>

771
00:34:56,427 --> 00:34:57,970
{\an8}<i>and for the record,</i>
{\an8}<i>let me be clear</i>

772
00:34:58,012 --> 00:34:59,764
{\an8}<i>that none of this</i>
{\an8}<i>is really about any of you</i>

773
00:34:59,806 --> 00:35:01,891
{\an8}<i>in a way that is actionable,</i>

774
00:35:01,933 --> 00:35:04,894
{\an8}<i>which has been vetted</i>
{\an8}<i>by the publisher and et cetera--</i>

775
00:35:04,936 --> 00:35:06,604
{\an8}<i>But if there are</i>
{\an8}<i>particular details</i>

776
00:35:06,646 --> 00:35:08,231
{\an8}<i>that you wish changed,</i>

777
00:35:08,272 --> 00:35:11,943
{\an8}<i>well, that's why I gave you</i>
{\an8}<i>an early look.</i>

778
00:35:11,984 --> 00:35:14,320
{\an8}<i>What if you</i>
{\an8}<i>just fucking stuff it.</i>

779
00:35:14,362 --> 00:35:16,864
{\an8}<i>I have a suggestion for where.</i>

780
00:35:16,906 --> 00:35:18,741
{\an8}<i>I can't.</i>

781
00:35:18,783 --> 00:35:21,244
{\an8}<i>I have to get this</i>
{\an8}<i>out there.</i>

782
00:35:21,285 --> 00:35:23,246
{\an8}<i>I have to tell the truth.</i>

783
00:35:23,287 --> 00:35:24,914
{\an8}<i>Sorry it hurts.</i>

784
00:35:24,956 --> 00:35:27,083
{\an8}<i>Sorry isn't the end</i>
{\an8}<i>of anything.</i>

785
00:35:27,125 --> 00:35:28,960
{\an8}<i>If you mean it, it's supposed</i>
{\an8}<i>to be the beginning</i>

786
00:35:29,001 --> 00:35:30,628
{\an8}<i>that leads to a change.</i>

787
00:35:30,670 --> 00:35:33,464
{\an8}<i>You've just described</i>
{\an8}<i>what my book is.</i>

788
00:35:33,506 --> 00:35:35,967
{\an8}<i>Rule number one of apologies is:</i>

789
00:35:36,008 --> 00:35:38,302
{\an8}<i>You don't do it</i>
{\an8}<i>if it makes the situation worse.</i>

790
00:35:38,344 --> 00:35:40,304
{\an8}<i>[Bonnie]</i>
{\an8}<i>Well fucking said, Ben Kim.</i>

791
00:35:50,481 --> 00:35:52,150
{\an8}<i>[sighs]</i>

792
00:35:59,365 --> 00:36:01,701
{\an8}<i>Ah, soy.</i>

793
00:36:01,742 --> 00:36:04,579
{\an8}<i>The OG in alternative milks.</i>

794
00:36:04,620 --> 00:36:07,081
- {\an8}<i>-
- It stands the test of time.</i>
- {\an8}<i>-
- Sure,</i>

795
00:36:07,123 --> 00:36:09,250
{\an8}<i>because people have become</i>
{\an8}<i>habituated to it.</i>

796
00:36:09,292 --> 00:36:11,669
{\an8}<i>To me, it has the mouthfeel</i>
{\an8}<i>of puddle water</i>

797
00:36:11,711 --> 00:36:13,296
{\an8}<i>and tastes like</i>
{\an8}<i>I would imagine</i>

798
00:36:13,337 --> 00:36:14,797
{\an8}<i>the breast milk</i>
{\an8}<i>of a lactating vegan drifter</i>

799
00:36:14,839 --> 00:36:17,425
{\an8}<i>living out of</i>
{\an8}<i>a VW camper van would.</i>

800
00:36:17,466 --> 00:36:19,552
{\an8}<i>And look at you</i>
{\an8}<i>with your blessed oat milk.</i>

801
00:36:19,594 --> 00:36:22,513
{\an8}<i>It froths velvety smooth</i>
{\an8}<i>for asinine latte art,</i>

802
00:36:22,555 --> 00:36:24,557
{\an8}<i>which you probably practice</i>
{\an8}<i>in your free time.</i>

803
00:36:24,599 --> 00:36:25,808
{\an8}<i>And the caloric content?</i>

804
00:36:25,850 --> 00:36:27,435
{\an8}<i>You may not be drinking cow,</i>

805
00:36:27,476 --> 00:36:28,811
{\an8}<i>but enough oat</i>
{\an8}<i>and you'll be fat as one.</i>

806
00:36:28,853 --> 00:36:30,438
{\an8}<i>With zero</i>
{\an8}<i>nutritional value.</i>

807
00:36:30,479 --> 00:36:32,607
{\an8}<i>You sure you haven't</i>
{\an8}<i>puffed up a bit</i>

808
00:36:32,648 --> 00:36:34,525
{\an8}<i>since your first cup</i>
{\an8}<i>at the opening bell?</i>

809
00:36:43,910 --> 00:36:46,454
{\an8}<i>[Dave]</i>
{\an8}<i>Just look at fucking that.</i>

810
00:36:46,495 --> 00:36:48,164
- {\an8}<i>-
- Mm.</i>
- {\an8}<i>-
- Just as you said.</i>

811
00:36:48,206 --> 00:36:50,625
{\an8}<i>It's like the statue</i>
{\an8}<i>of David.</i>

812
00:36:50,666 --> 00:36:52,460
{\an8}<i>It's one thing</i>
{\an8}<i>to hear about it,</i>

813
00:36:52,501 --> 00:36:54,503
{\an8}<i>another thing</i>
{\an8}<i>to see it in person.</i>

814
00:36:54,545 --> 00:36:56,589
{\an8}<i>David really is something</i>
{\an8}<i>up close.</i>

815
00:36:58,758 --> 00:37:01,385
{\an8}<i>People know the truth.</i>
{\an8}<i>That's why they're here.</i>

816
00:37:01,427 --> 00:37:03,387
{\an8}<i>That's why they're talking</i>
{\an8}<i>about this.</i>

817
00:37:03,429 --> 00:37:05,973
{\an8}<i>A man like Prince shouldn't</i>
{\an8}<i>be holding all this city's land.</i>

818
00:37:06,015 --> 00:37:07,391
{\an8}<i>All he'll do is want more.</i>

819
00:37:07,433 --> 00:37:10,561
{\an8}<i>More land. More money. More.</i>

820
00:37:10,603 --> 00:37:11,896
{\an8}<i>And it seems to me that--</i>

821
00:37:11,938 --> 00:37:13,272
{\an8}<i>Yeah.</i>

822
00:37:13,314 --> 00:37:14,941
{\an8}<i>He has more than</i>
{\an8}<i>he should have right now.</i>

823
00:37:16,317 --> 00:37:17,526
{\an8}<i>I get it.</i>

824
00:37:59,235 --> 00:38:02,113
{\an8}<i>I calibrated your turntable's</i>
{\an8}<i>air suspension system.</i>

825
00:38:02,154 --> 00:38:04,240
- {\an8}<i>-
- And the new stylus?</i>
- {\an8}<i>-
- Installed.</i>

826
00:38:04,282 --> 00:38:05,908
{\an8}<i>A Clearaudio Goldfinger,</i>

827
00:38:05,950 --> 00:38:08,452
{\an8}<i>16 grams of pure gold.</i>

828
00:38:08,494 --> 00:38:10,621
{\an8}<i>We have a far more</i>
{\an8}<i>expensive problem.</i>

829
00:38:16,460 --> 00:38:18,713
{\an8}<i>The NYAG secured</i>
{\an8}<i>a court order</i>

830
00:38:18,754 --> 00:38:20,548
{\an8}<i>and seized back</i>
{\an8}<i>all the Olympic land</i>

831
00:38:20,589 --> 00:38:21,799
{\an8}<i>without a refund.</i>

832
00:38:21,841 --> 00:38:23,092
{\an8}<i>Seeking damages too.</i>

833
00:38:23,134 --> 00:38:25,261
{\an8}<i>That's my land.</i>
{\an8}<i>I own it.</i>

834
00:38:25,303 --> 00:38:26,721
{\an8}<i>I spoke with Sacker about it.</i>

835
00:38:26,762 --> 00:38:28,639
{\an8}<i>By using them</i>
{\an8}<i>for another purpose,</i>

836
00:38:28,681 --> 00:38:30,975
{\an8}<i>you arguably defaulted on</i>
{\an8}<i>the performance-based mortgages</i>

837
00:38:31,017 --> 00:38:33,019
{\an8}<i>-from the land bank.</i>
- {\an8}<i>-
- Damn.</i>

838
00:38:33,060 --> 00:38:35,730
{\an8}<i>I knew we had a Chuck problem,</i>
{\an8}<i>but he's gone.</i>

839
00:38:35,771 --> 00:38:38,607
{\an8}<i>So, do we have</i>
{\an8}<i>a Dave problem?</i>

840
00:38:38,649 --> 00:38:40,609
{\an8}<i>Let's find out.</i>

841
00:38:40,651 --> 00:38:42,445
{\an8}<i>[traffic ambience]</i>

842
00:38:44,572 --> 00:38:46,073
{\an8}<i>This suits you.</i>

843
00:38:46,115 --> 00:38:47,992
{\an8}<i>You look at home already.</i>

844
00:38:48,034 --> 00:38:50,494
{\an8}<i>You didn't come to welcome me</i>
{\an8}<i>to the neighborhood.</i>

845
00:38:50,536 --> 00:38:52,330
{\an8}<i>No, not entirely.</i>

846
00:38:52,371 --> 00:38:54,790
{\an8}<i>I came in the hopes of us</i>
{\an8}<i>moving past any squabbles</i>

847
00:38:54,832 --> 00:38:56,334
{\an8}<i>I might have had</i>
{\an8}<i>with your predecessor.</i>

848
00:38:56,375 --> 00:38:58,127
{\an8}<i>You came for your land.</i>

849
00:38:58,169 --> 00:38:59,587
{\an8}<i>I did.</i>

850
00:38:59,628 --> 00:39:01,672
{\an8}<i>But it's not yours.</i>

851
00:39:01,714 --> 00:39:03,049
{\an8}<i>Not really.</i>

852
00:39:03,090 --> 00:39:04,759
{\an8}<i>You entered into a compact.</i>

853
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:06,552
{\an8}<i>Your needs changed,</i>
{\an8}<i>I get it.</i>

854
00:39:06,594 --> 00:39:09,513
{\an8}<i>But that broke the compact,</i>
{\an8}<i>so we took it back.</i>

855
00:39:09,555 --> 00:39:13,934
{\an8}<i>And just to be clear,</i>
{\an8}<i>the "we" is the NYAG.</i>

856
00:39:13,976 --> 00:39:15,519
{\an8}<i>Me. My office.</i>

857
00:39:15,561 --> 00:39:17,271
{\an8}<i>Not me and Chuck.</i>

858
00:39:17,313 --> 00:39:19,148
{\an8}<i>Well, then I'd like to make</i>
{\an8}<i>a new compact,</i>

859
00:39:19,190 --> 00:39:21,734
{\an8}<i>do a new transaction.</i>

860
00:39:21,776 --> 00:39:23,361
{\an8}<i>I have other uses</i>

861
00:39:23,402 --> 00:39:26,072
{\an8}<i>for those patches of dirt,</i>
{\an8}<i>very worthy uses.</i>

862
00:39:26,113 --> 00:39:27,865
{\an8}<i>I'm going to say no.</i>

863
00:39:27,907 --> 00:39:29,992
{\an8}<i>Well, if that's your position,</i>

864
00:39:30,034 --> 00:39:32,244
{\an8}<i>this is going to end</i>
{\an8}<i>in lawsuits.</i>

865
00:39:32,286 --> 00:39:33,746
{\an8}<i>Or tears.</i>

866
00:39:33,788 --> 00:39:35,706
{\an8}<i>And they're not</i>
{\an8}<i>going to be mine.</i>

867
00:39:35,748 --> 00:39:38,542
{\an8}<i>Haven't cried since</i>
{\an8}<i>I saw</i> <i>Sophie's Choice.</i>

868
00:39:38,584 --> 00:39:40,753
{\an8}<i>And the truth is,</i>

869
00:39:40,795 --> 00:39:44,590
{\an8}<i>even then I was faking it</i>
{\an8}<i>because I was on a date.</i>

870
00:39:44,632 --> 00:39:47,343
{\an8}<i>So, good luck.</i>

871
00:39:58,771 --> 00:40:00,189
{\an8}<i>He's rattled.</i>

872
00:40:00,231 --> 00:40:01,690
<i>Can you rattle him more?</i>

873
00:40:01,732 --> 00:40:03,401
{\an8}<i>I believe I can.</i>

874
00:40:07,613 --> 00:40:09,573
{\an8}<i>[scoffs]</i>

875
00:40:09,615 --> 00:40:12,326
<i>Yes, I never got back to you</i>
<i>about those job offers.</i>

876
00:40:12,368 --> 00:40:15,204
{\an8}<i>My answer is,</i>
{\an8}<i>I already have a job.</i>

877
00:40:15,246 --> 00:40:17,164
{\an8}<i>Exposing Mike Prince,</i>
{\an8}<i>dollar by dollar,</i>

878
00:40:17,206 --> 00:40:19,917
<i>for the scourge that he is.</i>

879
00:40:19,959 --> 00:40:21,919
{\an8}<i>Now, Chuck,</i>

880
00:40:21,961 --> 00:40:23,754
{\an8}<i>a man who tells on himself</i>
{\an8}<i>like that</i>

881
00:40:23,796 --> 00:40:26,090
{\an8}<i>is both snitch</i>
{\an8}<i>and scoundrel.</i>

882
00:40:26,132 --> 00:40:27,967
{\an8}<i>Yeah, better than being</i>
{\an8}<i>an accomplice.</i>

883
00:40:34,974 --> 00:40:36,559
{\an8}<i>It's her. It's Dave.</i>

884
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,311
- {\an8}<i>-
- We have a Dave problem.</i>
- {\an8}<i>-
- No. Not just her.</i>

885
00:40:39,353 --> 00:40:40,938
{\an8}<i>We don't have</i>
{\an8}<i>a Chuck or Dave problem.</i>

886
00:40:40,980 --> 00:40:42,356
{\an8}<i>We have both.</i>

887
00:40:51,615 --> 00:40:54,118
{\an8}<i>You can spare me</i>
{\an8}<i>the breakfast buffet.</i>

888
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,620
{\an8}<i>You came all this way.</i>
{\an8}<i>The least I can do is feed you.</i>

889
00:40:56,662 --> 00:40:58,289
{\an8}<i>I'm not here</i>
{\an8}<i>out of deference.</i>

890
00:40:58,330 --> 00:40:59,957
{\an8}<i>Or hunger pangs,</i>
{\an8}<i>for that matter.</i>

891
00:40:59,999 --> 00:41:01,792
{\an8}<i>Right now?</i>

892
00:41:01,834 --> 00:41:04,211
{\an8}<i>I can't be seen taking a meeting</i>
{\an8}<i>with you in Borough Hall.</i>

893
00:41:04,253 --> 00:41:06,255
{\an8}<i>And I always break up</i>
{\an8}<i>in person.</i>

894
00:41:06,297 --> 00:41:08,799
{\an8}<i>If this is about the</i>
{\an8}<i>Attorney General's land grab--</i>

895
00:41:08,841 --> 00:41:10,718
{\an8}<i>It's about all of it.</i>

896
00:41:12,595 --> 00:41:14,555
{\an8}<i>What's the charge here?</i>
{\an8}<i>That I'm rich?</i>

897
00:41:14,597 --> 00:41:15,723
{\an8}<i>Of course I am.</i>

898
00:41:17,266 --> 00:41:18,601
{\an8}<i>That I can afford</i>
{\an8}<i>to free people</i>

899
00:41:18,642 --> 00:41:20,478
{\an8}<i>from the hamster wheel</i>
{\an8}<i>of poverty?</i>

900
00:41:20,519 --> 00:41:21,687
{\an8}<i>Damn right I can.</i>

901
00:41:23,522 --> 00:41:25,316
{\an8}<i>Rhoades and Mahar</i>
{\an8}<i>want to make this about me.</i>

902
00:41:25,357 --> 00:41:27,318
{\an8}<i>No, this is about the people</i>
{\an8}<i>getting squeezed so tight</i>

903
00:41:27,359 --> 00:41:29,236
{\an8}<i>they can't even breathe.</i>

904
00:41:29,278 --> 00:41:33,532
{\an8}<i>Now why would anyone think</i>
{\an8}<i>that Mike Money was about you?</i>

905
00:41:36,660 --> 00:41:38,787
{\an8}<i>I can put this</i>
{\an8}<i>back together.</i>

906
00:41:38,829 --> 00:41:41,999
- {\an8}<i>-
- Help me keep those lands--</i>  {\an8}<i>-[Faire] Help you?</i>

907
00:41:42,041 --> 00:41:43,792
{\an8}<i>When according</i>
{\an8}<i>to that clock outside,</i>

908
00:41:43,834 --> 00:41:46,837
{\an8}<i>you blink and the boodle</i>
{\an8}<i>just rolls in.</i>

909
00:41:46,879 --> 00:41:50,174
{\an8}<i>I'm out, the mayor's out,</i>
{\an8}<i>the council's out.</i>

910
00:41:50,216 --> 00:41:52,051
{\an8}<i>Might as well grab a fistful</i>
{\an8}<i>of that Mike Money</i>

911
00:41:52,092 --> 00:41:53,677
{\an8}<i>and play Monopoly with it.</i>

912
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:55,721
{\an8}<i>At least it'll be good</i>
{\an8}<i>for something.</i>

913
00:42:00,518 --> 00:42:02,811
{\an8}<i>Yang left a voicemail.</i>
{\an8}<i>I didn't want to...</i>

914
00:42:05,022 --> 00:42:06,857
{\an8}<i>He's out too.</i>

915
00:42:06,899 --> 00:42:08,526
{\an8}<i>He says right message,</i>
{\an8}<i>wrong messenger.</i>

916
00:42:10,736 --> 00:42:13,531
{\an8}<i>So we regroup,</i>
{\an8}<i>we refocus...</i>

917
00:42:13,572 --> 00:42:15,699
{\an8}<i>I'll pay for the entire</i>
{\an8}<i>pilot program myself.</i>

918
00:42:18,202 --> 00:42:20,287
{\an8}<i>That billboard will be</i>
{\an8}<i>my promissory note.</i>

919
00:42:20,329 --> 00:42:22,206
- {\an8}<i>-
- Expensive.</i>
- {\an8}<i>-
- Get with Wags.</i>

920
00:42:22,248 --> 00:42:24,375
{\an8}<i>Tell him his Chinese</i>
{\an8}<i>infrastructure thing's a go.</i>

921
00:42:34,677 --> 00:42:36,387
{\an8}<i>We're early. Check.</i>

922
00:42:36,428 --> 00:42:38,472
{\an8}<i>Dressed appropriately.</i>
{\an8}<i>Check.</i>

923
00:42:38,514 --> 00:42:40,558
{\an8}<i>I trust that you're prepared,</i>
{\an8}<i>not that you have to do anything</i>

924
00:42:40,599 --> 00:42:42,560
{\an8}<i>-other than smile and nod yes.</i>
- {\an8}<i>-
- Of course.</i>

925
00:42:42,601 --> 00:42:45,437
{\an8}<i>If I could take this opportunity</i>
{\an8}<i>to impress upon you</i>

926
00:42:45,479 --> 00:42:47,690
{\an8}<i>the importance of face</i>
{\an8}<i>when dealing with the Chinese--</i>

927
00:42:47,731 --> 00:42:49,733
- {\an8}<i>-
- Got it. Let's go.</i>
- {\an8}<i>-
- As you are of higher rank,</i>

928
00:42:49,775 --> 00:42:51,026
{\an8}<i>you should precede me.</i>

929
00:42:51,068 --> 00:42:52,695
{\an8}<i>I'm aware.</i>

930
00:42:52,736 --> 00:42:55,197
{\an8}<i>[violin music playing]</i>

931
00:42:59,410 --> 00:43:01,495

{\an8}<i>To our shared prosperity.</i>

933
00:43:07,459 --> 00:43:08,711
{\an8}<i>We're supposed to go</i>
{\an8}<i>shot for shot.</i>

934
00:43:08,752 --> 00:43:10,504
{\an8}<i>It can be</i>
{\an8}<i>a punishing custom.</i>

935
00:43:10,546 --> 00:43:12,172
{\an8}<i>I should've told you</i>
{\an8}<i>to eat something beforehand.</i>

936
00:43:12,214 --> 00:43:14,425
- {\an8}<i>-
- I did.</i>
- {\an8}<i>-
- Of course you did.</i>

937
00:43:14,466 --> 00:43:15,801
{\an8}<i>I wish I had.</i>

938
00:43:19,305 --> 00:43:21,265
{\an8}<i>This is the chop.</i>

939
00:43:21,307 --> 00:43:24,101
{\an8}<i>We use it to cement important</i>
{\an8}<i>business deals like this one.</i>

940
00:43:24,143 --> 00:43:26,270
{\an8}<i>Of course.</i>
{\an8}<i>I know of the chop's emergence</i>

941
00:43:26,312 --> 00:43:28,397
{\an8}<i>during the Warring States</i>
{\an8}<i>period.</i>

943

{\an8}<i>[in English] But I'm going</i>
{\an8}<i>to have to pass on your offer.</i>

944
00:43:50,336 --> 00:43:52,421
{\an8}<i>I can't do business</i>
{\an8}<i>with a group that has ties</i>

945
00:43:52,463 --> 00:43:54,423
{\an8}<i>to a government with such</i>
{\an8}<i>a brutally poor record</i>

946
00:43:54,465 --> 00:43:56,008
{\an8}<i>on human rights.</i>

947
00:43:56,050 --> 00:43:58,927
{\an8}<i>I can't help enrich</i>
{\an8}<i>the oppressors.</i>

948
00:43:58,969 --> 00:44:01,138
{\an8}<i>If you'd like to influence</i>
{\an8}<i>your government</i>

949
00:44:01,180 --> 00:44:02,848
{\an8}<i>to start treating people</i>
{\an8}<i>like people,</i>

950
00:44:02,890 --> 00:44:06,018
{\an8}<i>with decency and humanity,</i>
{\an8}<i>please give me a call.</i>

951
00:44:06,060 --> 00:44:07,978
{\an8}<i>Otherwise, good night.</i>

952
00:44:10,189 --> 00:44:12,066
{\an8}<i>[Wags]</i>
{\an8}<i>Wait.</i>

953
00:44:12,107 --> 00:44:14,193
{\an8}<i>I figured you were ready to make</i>
{\an8}<i>up for losses on the land.</i>

954
00:44:14,234 --> 00:44:17,154
{\an8}<i>You showed up to give them the</i>
{\an8}<i>finger and turn down billions?</i>

955
00:44:21,325 --> 00:44:22,993
{\an8}<i>What the fuck was that?</i>

956
00:44:25,496 --> 00:44:27,665
{\an8}<i>And now I've lost face.</i>

957
00:44:34,797 --> 00:44:37,132
{\an8}<i>[liquid pouring]</i>

{\an8}<i>than a PR crisis</i>

959
00:44:39,551 --> 00:44:40,761
{\an8}<i>to get me off the mountain.</i>

960
00:44:46,350 --> 00:44:49,144
{\an8}<i>Did they do all this when you</i>
{\an8}<i>thought the girls were coming?</i>

961
00:44:49,186 --> 00:44:50,354
{\an8}<i>Yeah.</i>

962
00:44:51,897 --> 00:44:53,107
{\an8}<i>It's time to do the thing.</i>

963
00:44:54,692 --> 00:44:55,693
{\an8}<i>I wanted to present</i>
{\an8}<i>to the whole--</i>

964
00:44:55,734 --> 00:44:57,403
{\an8}<i>It's the wrong time.</i>

965
00:44:57,444 --> 00:44:59,655
{\an8}<i>That wealth clock, the girls</i>
{\an8}<i>are getting brutalized.</i>

966
00:44:59,697 --> 00:45:02,491
{\an8}<i>Yeah, well, they've had</i>
{\an8}<i>a pretty good life up till now.</i>

967
00:45:02,533 --> 00:45:04,785
{\an8}<i>You gonna keep</i>
{\an8}<i>your end of the deal?</i>

968
00:45:04,827 --> 00:45:06,704
{\an8}<i>How much will it cost?</i>

969
00:45:06,745 --> 00:45:08,080
{\an8}<i>Three. Maybe more.</i>

970
00:45:08,122 --> 00:45:09,498
{\an8}<i>Fuck.</i>

971
00:45:09,540 --> 00:45:11,458
{\an8}<i>Three billion dollars.</i>

972
00:45:11,500 --> 00:45:13,043
{\an8}<i>You never cared about it before.</i>

973
00:45:14,545 --> 00:45:16,255
{\an8}<i>So, you gonna keep</i>
{\an8}<i>the promise you made?</i>

974
00:45:17,423 --> 00:45:18,841
{\an8}<i>Things have changed.</i>

975
00:45:18,882 --> 00:45:21,385
{\an8}<i>You still need me?</i>

976
00:45:21,427 --> 00:45:23,053
{\an8}<i>They haven't changed</i>
{\an8}<i>that much.</i>

977
00:45:24,888 --> 00:45:26,056
{\an8}<i>Yes, I do.</i>

978
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:30,060
{\an8}<i>You and I,</i>

979
00:45:30,102 --> 00:45:32,062
{\an8}<i>we can't embarrass</i>
{\an8}<i>each other.</i>

980
00:45:32,104 --> 00:45:34,732
{\an8}<i>When we're apart, if we need</i>
{\an8}<i>to slake our appetites--</i>

981
00:45:34,773 --> 00:45:37,067
{\an8}<i>No embarrassment.</i>
{\an8}<i>Everything locked down.</i>

982
00:45:37,109 --> 00:45:38,652
{\an8}<i>It is, or it will be?</i>

983
00:45:38,694 --> 00:45:39,903
{\an8}<i>Don't ask that.</i>

984
00:45:39,945 --> 00:45:42,072
{\an8}<i>Why ask that?</i>

985
00:45:42,114 --> 00:45:44,908
{\an8}<i>You left. I called.</i>
{\an8}<i>You couldn't come.</i>

986
00:45:44,950 --> 00:45:46,410
{\an8}<i>You know what that results in.</i>

987
00:45:49,455 --> 00:45:52,750
{\an8}<i>You gonna keep the promises</i>
{\an8}<i>you make to them?</i>

988
00:45:54,543 --> 00:45:56,712
{\an8}<i>I'm the only guy that will.</i>

989
00:45:56,754 --> 00:45:58,422
{\an8}<i>That's why I'm doing it.</i>

990
00:46:00,799 --> 00:46:02,259
{\an8}<i>Then, yeah.</i>

991
00:46:02,301 --> 00:46:03,594
{\an8}<i>Good.</i>

992
00:46:37,127 --> 00:46:38,462
{\an8}<i>Based on our last</i>
{\an8}<i>interaction,</i>

993
00:46:38,504 --> 00:46:40,589
{\an8}<i>I suggest we have</i>
{\an8}<i>a meet-up after work</i>

994
00:46:40,631 --> 00:46:42,424
{\an8}<i>and iron out</i>
{\an8}<i>this successor business.</i>

995
00:46:42,466 --> 00:46:44,968
{\an8}<i>Yes, before it upends</i>
{\an8}<i>both of us.</i>

996
00:46:45,010 --> 00:46:46,345
{\an8}<i>I had a similar thought.</i>

00:46:50,474 --> 00:46:51,725
{\an8}<i>[door opens]</i>

998
00:46:51,767 --> 00:46:53,477
{\an8}<i>[typing]</i>

999
00:46:54,686 --> 00:46:56,480
{\an8}<i>Only have a minute.</i>

1000
00:46:56,522 --> 00:46:58,232
{\an8}<i>Have John Heilemann</i>
{\an8}<i>coming in here.</i>

1001
00:46:58,273 --> 00:46:59,733
{\an8}<i>Need me to prep you?</i>

1002
00:46:59,775 --> 00:47:01,985
{\an8}<i>Probably. No time.</i>

1003
00:47:02,027 --> 00:47:05,280
{\an8}<i>Our last session</i>
{\an8}<i>was under false pretenses.</i>

1004
00:47:05,322 --> 00:47:06,615
{\an8}<i>Was it not?</i>

1005
00:47:07,783 --> 00:47:09,034
{\an8}<i>Dual purpose.</i>

1006
00:47:09,076 --> 00:47:10,911
{\an8}<i>Helped you, did it not?</i>

1007
00:47:10,953 --> 00:47:12,162
{\an8}<i>It did.</i>

1008
00:47:12,204 --> 00:47:13,872
{\an8}<i>Helped me too.</i>

1009
00:47:13,914 --> 00:47:16,834
{\an8}<i>The book needs</i>
{\an8}<i>to tell the truth.</i>

1010
00:47:16,875 --> 00:47:19,461
{\an8}<i>I was wrong about you.</i>
{\an8}<i>Needed to get it right.</i>

1011
00:47:19,503 --> 00:47:21,380
{\an8}<i>Why do the book</i>
{\an8}<i>in the first place?</i>

1012
00:47:21,421 --> 00:47:23,340
{\an8}<i>Well, I didn't intend</i>
{\an8}<i>to write it.</i>

1013
00:47:23,382 --> 00:47:26,134
{\an8}<i>I was seized with an impulse,</i>

1014
00:47:26,176 --> 00:47:28,595
{\an8}<i>and wrote it before</i>
{\an8}<i>I really knew I had.</i>

1015
00:47:28,637 --> 00:47:30,389
{\an8}<i>Must've been a lot of stuff you</i>
{\an8}<i>wanted to say for a long time.</i>

1016
00:47:30,430 --> 00:47:32,641
{\an8}<i>It was just that kind</i>
{\an8}<i>of release, yes.</i>

1017
00:47:32,683 --> 00:47:34,017
{\an8}<i>And after you were done?</i>

1018
00:47:34,059 --> 00:47:35,269
{\an8}<i>Yeah.</i>

1019
00:47:35,310 --> 00:47:36,687
{\an8}<i>Yep, like I could move forward.</i>

1020
00:47:36,728 --> 00:47:40,232
{\an8}<i>Lighter. Easier.</i>
{\an8}<i>With more freedom.</i>

1021
00:47:40,274 --> 00:47:42,484
{\an8}<i>But it's not complete</i>
{\an8}<i>unless I publish it.</i>

1022
00:47:42,526 --> 00:47:44,278
{\an8}<i>I imagine you're going</i>
{\an8}<i>to try and stop me.</i>

1023
00:47:44,319 --> 00:47:46,864
{\an8}<i>Is that why you think</i>
{\an8}<i>I called you in? To stop you?</i>

1024
00:47:46,905 --> 00:47:50,701
{\an8}<i>Well, I imagine you're here</i>
{\an8}<i>to tell me what my lawyer did.</i>

1025
00:47:50,742 --> 00:47:53,120
{\an8}<i>What Sacker told you.</i>

1026
00:47:53,161 --> 00:47:55,789
{\an8}<i>That you could prove loss</i>
{\an8}<i>and damage to your reputation.</i>

1027
00:47:57,082 --> 00:47:58,542
{\an8}<i>That to publish the book would</i>

1028
00:47:58,584 --> 00:48:00,544
{\an8}<i>blow up the life</i>
{\an8}<i>and career that I have.</i>

1029
00:48:00,586 --> 00:48:02,713
{\an8}<i>I'm not gonna put up</i>
{\an8}<i>road blocks.</i>

1030
00:48:02,754 --> 00:48:06,383
{\an8}<i>I'm not gonna punish you</i>
{\an8}<i>when and if you do publish.</i>

1031
00:48:06,425 --> 00:48:07,926
{\an8}<i>The question isn't</i>
{\an8}<i>whether you can.</i>

1032
00:48:07,968 --> 00:48:09,303
{\an8}<i>The question is</i>
{\an8}<i>whether you should.</i>

1033
00:48:09,344 --> 00:48:11,221
{\an8}<i>Not a lot of "should"</i>
{\an8}<i>conversations</i>

1034
00:48:11,263 --> 00:48:13,265
{\an8}<i>in this office</i>
{\an8}<i>before you got here.</i>

1035
00:48:13,307 --> 00:48:16,685
{\an8}<i>Well, I'm thinking back</i>
{\an8}<i>to our last conversation,</i>

1036
00:48:16,727 --> 00:48:19,354
{\an8}<i>and how it's important</i>
{\an8}<i>to consider ramifications.</i>

1037
00:48:20,856 --> 00:48:22,858
{\an8}<i>And what I want to tell you</i>

1038
00:48:22,900 --> 00:48:26,737
{\an8}<i>is that only you can decide</i>
{\an8}<i>if it's the right thing to do.</i>

1039
00:48:26,778 --> 00:48:28,780
{\an8}<i>But one thing</i>
{\an8}<i>you'd better consider</i>

1040
00:48:28,822 --> 00:48:30,908
{\an8}<i>is that we rarely know why</i>
{\an8}<i>we do the things we do,</i>

1041
00:48:30,949 --> 00:48:33,076
{\an8}<i>like writing a book,</i>
{\an8}<i>putting it out.</i>

1042
00:48:33,118 --> 00:48:35,621
{\an8}<i>And the true "why,"</i>

1043
00:48:35,662 --> 00:48:38,248
{\an8}<i>that usually isn't the first</i>
{\an8}<i>thing that comes to mind.</i>

1044
00:48:38,290 --> 00:48:40,417
{\an8}<i>That's usually the BS</i>
{\an8}<i>we tell ourselves</i>

1045
00:48:40,459 --> 00:48:42,836
{\an8}<i>to rationalize the behavior.</i>

1046
00:48:42,878 --> 00:48:45,923
{\an8}<i>So before you do or you don't</i>
{\an8}<i>dig in on that,</i>

1047
00:48:45,964 --> 00:48:47,883
{\an8}<i>why are you really</i>
{\an8}<i>doing this?</i>

1048
00:48:49,551 --> 00:48:51,929
{\an8}<i>Meanwhile, I've got to get</i>
{\an8}<i>in the zone</i>

1049
00:48:51,970 --> 00:48:53,847
{\an8}<i>to tangle with</i>
{\an8}<i>the only journalist</i>

1050
00:48:53,889 --> 00:48:56,183
{\an8}<i>who might get confused</i>
{\an8}<i>for George "The Animal" Steele.</i>

1051
00:49:00,395 --> 00:49:01,772
{\an8}<i>[sighs]</i>

1052
00:49:28,465 --> 00:49:31,760
{\an8}<i>I'll admit I'm a little</i>
{\an8}<i>surprised you didn't cancel.</i>

1053
00:49:31,802 --> 00:49:34,471
{\an8}<i>It's been a pretty tough</i>
{\an8}<i>news cycle for you, pal.</i>

1054
00:49:34,513 --> 00:49:36,306
{\an8}<i>Well, I'm doing this</i>
{\an8}<i>on background.</i>

1055
00:49:36,348 --> 00:49:38,809
{\an8}<i>Nothing on the record.</i>
{\an8}<i>Can't use my name at all.</i>

1056
00:49:40,310 --> 00:49:42,479
{\an8}<i>So, uh, how are we</i>
{\an8}<i>gonna handle attribution?</i>

1057
00:49:42,521 --> 00:49:45,023
{\an8}<i>"Sources close to Mike Prince."</i>

1058
00:49:45,065 --> 00:49:49,486
{\an8}<i>Okay, um, no source closer</i>
{\an8}<i>to Mike Prince than Mike Prince.</i>

1059
00:49:49,528 --> 00:49:51,738
{\an8}<i>Have at it, but Scooter</i>
{\an8}<i>gets to clear any quote.</i>

1060
00:49:51,780 --> 00:49:53,573
{\an8}<i>Scooter can clear</i>
{\an8}<i>anything he wants,</i>

1061
00:49:53,615 --> 00:49:56,243
{\an8}<i>but I got to say,</i>
{\an8}<i>I don't see a story here</i>

1062
00:49:56,284 --> 00:49:58,412
{\an8}<i>other than one that you</i>
{\an8}<i>are gonna fucking hate.</i>

1063
00:49:58,453 --> 00:50:01,164
{\an8}<i>"Another billionaire</i>
{\an8}<i>shoots the moon</i>

1064
00:50:01,206 --> 00:50:03,667
{\an8}<i>and then spins</i>
{\an8}<i>out of Earth's orbit."</i>

1065
00:50:03,709 --> 00:50:05,335
{\an8}<i>Well, get ready</i>
{\an8}<i>for an exclusive.</i>

1066
00:50:06,962 --> 00:50:10,340
{\an8}<i>I'm funding the Mike Money</i>
{\an8}<i>pilot program myself,</i>

1067
00:50:10,382 --> 00:50:11,842
{\an8}<i>100% out of pocket.</i>

1068
00:50:11,883 --> 00:50:13,510
{\an8}<i>Fully digital platform.</i>

1069
00:50:13,552 --> 00:50:15,137
{\an8}<i>And if I can get</i>
{\an8}<i>the Department of Finance</i>

1070
00:50:15,178 --> 00:50:17,848
{\an8}<i>to share their data...</i>

1071
00:50:17,889 --> 00:50:20,308
{\an8}<i>"Exclusive" means you might</i>
{\an8}<i>want to jot some of this down.</i>

1072
00:50:20,350 --> 00:50:23,520
{\an8}<i>Look, Mike, it's always</i>
{\an8}<i>a pleasure to see you, it is.</i>

1073
00:50:23,562 --> 00:50:25,188
{\an8}<i>And I'd give my right nut</i>

1074
00:50:25,230 --> 00:50:27,149
{\an8}<i>to have you take a look</i>
{\an8}<i>at my 401(k).</i>

1075
00:50:27,190 --> 00:50:30,235
{\an8}<i>But Chuck Rhoades is the one</i>
{\an8}<i>who's driving the conversation</i>

1076
00:50:30,277 --> 00:50:33,196
{\an8}<i>on income inequality right now,</i>
{\an8}<i>and you are not part of it.</i>

1077
00:50:33,238 --> 00:50:35,866
{\an8}<i>Aside from that wealth clock</i>
{\an8}<i>on your block.</i>

1078
00:50:37,576 --> 00:50:39,369
{\an8}<i>Well, I appreciate your candor.</i>

1079
00:50:39,411 --> 00:50:42,539
{\an8}<i>And, uh, I can't wait</i>
{\an8}<i>to prove you wrong.</i>

1080
00:50:42,581 --> 00:50:45,375
{\an8}<i>I mean, look,</i>
{\an8}<i>I did hear this one thing.</i>

1081
00:50:45,417 --> 00:50:48,378
{\an8}<i>It sounded like bullshit,</i>
{\an8}<i>so I wasn't going to raise it.</i>

1082
00:50:48,420 --> 00:50:49,588
{\an8}<i>What's the question?</i>

1083
00:50:49,629 --> 00:50:51,214
{\an8}<i>A pretty janky source of mine</i>

1084
00:50:51,256 --> 00:50:53,175
{\an8}<i>claims that you,</i>
{\an8}<i>of all people,</i>

1085
00:50:53,216 --> 00:50:54,843
{\an8}<i>turned down the chance</i>
{\an8}<i>to get into business</i>

1086
00:50:54,885 --> 00:50:56,344
{\an8}<i>with some Chinese consortium</i>

1087
00:50:56,386 --> 00:50:59,556
{\an8}<i>on some huge deal</i>
{\an8}<i>over human rights abuses?</i>

1088
00:51:02,976 --> 00:51:06,855
{\an8}<i>Sources close to Mike Prince</i>
{\an8}<i>say he'd never embarrass</i>

1089
00:51:06,897 --> 00:51:08,398
{\an8}<i>a potential</i>
{\an8}<i>business associate.</i>

1090
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:09,900
{\an8}<i>Not his style.</i>

1091
00:51:09,941 --> 00:51:11,401
{\an8}<i>I guess that sounded</i>
{\an8}<i>like bullshit.</i>

1092
00:51:11,443 --> 00:51:13,236
{\an8}<i>I wasn't even going</i>
{\an8}<i>to talk about it.</i>

1093
00:51:13,278 --> 00:51:15,655
{\an8}<i>But he's not about</i>
{\an8}<i>to make a dime off of genocide,</i>

1094
00:51:15,697 --> 00:51:18,033
{\an8}<i>or state-led torture,</i>
{\an8}<i>or child labor,</i>

1095
00:51:18,075 --> 00:51:19,993
{\an8}<i>not as long</i>
{\an8}<i>as he draws a breath.</i>

1096
00:51:47,813 --> 00:51:50,107
{\an8}<i>This wasn't</i>
{\an8}<i>to free my ego.</i>

1097
00:51:50,148 --> 00:51:51,858
{\an8}<i>It was to let it</i>
{\an8}<i>run loose.</i>

1098
00:51:54,486 --> 00:51:56,947
{\an8}<i>I thought I would show them all</i>
{\an8}<i>who they were.</i>

1099
00:51:59,324 --> 00:52:02,035
{\an8}<i>And who I was:</i>
{\an8}<i>better than them.</i>

1100
00:52:03,703 --> 00:52:05,372
{\an8}<i>Higher on the food chain.</i>

1101
00:52:05,413 --> 00:52:06,665
{\an8}<i>Evolved.</i>

1102
00:52:13,922 --> 00:52:15,382
{\an8}<i>Now I see it.</i>

1103
00:52:16,842 --> 00:52:18,510
{\an8}<i>Where it would lead.</i>

1104
00:52:22,639 --> 00:52:24,349
{\an8}<i>I can't do it.</i>
{\an8}<i>I can't...</i>

1105
00:52:25,684 --> 00:52:27,060
{\an8}<i>take that ride.</i>

1106
00:52:29,187 --> 00:52:34,985
{\an8}<i>In the end, it's a ride</i>
{\an8}<i>that only leads to needing more.</i>

1107
00:52:40,198 --> 00:52:41,366
{\an8}<i>[sighs]</i>

1108
00:52:43,368 --> 00:52:46,955
{\an8}<i>Which is exactly</i>
{\an8}<i>what I don't need.</i>

1109
00:52:50,750 --> 00:52:52,502
{\an8}<i>And now you're ready...</i>

1110
00:52:54,754 --> 00:52:56,965
{\an8}<i>to take refuge.</i>

1111
00:53:08,977 --> 00:53:11,271
- {\an8}<i>-
- So...</i>
- {\an8}<i>-
- Yep. Cocktails.</i>

1112
00:53:11,313 --> 00:53:13,273
{\an8}<i>Indeed.</i>
{\an8}<i>What are you thinking?</i>

1113
00:53:13,315 --> 00:53:14,941
{\an8}<i>Mescal margaritas?</i>

1114
00:53:14,983 --> 00:53:17,485
{\an8}<i>I'm anti-smoke when it</i>
{\an8}<i>comes to tobacco and drinks.</i>

1115
00:53:17,527 --> 00:53:19,196
- {\an8}<i>-
- You have a thought?</i>
- {\an8}<i>-
- Boulevardiers?</i>

1116
00:53:19,237 --> 00:53:21,531
{\an8}<i>Love it,</i>
{\an8}<i>but a notch lighter.</i>

1117
00:53:21,573 --> 00:53:23,533
- {\an8}<i>-
- An Old Pal.</i>
- {\an8}<i>-
- Exactly.</i>

1118
00:53:23,575 --> 00:53:25,702
{\an8}<i>I add a dash of bitters.</i>
{\an8}<i>Is that okay?</i>

1119
00:53:25,744 --> 00:53:27,537
{\an8}<i>As long as it's not orange,</i>
{\an8}<i>or celery flavored,</i>

1120
00:53:27,579 --> 00:53:28,872
{\an8}<i>or chocolate, or anything--</i>

1121
00:53:28,914 --> 00:53:30,707
{\an8}<i>Anything but Angostura?</i>

1122
00:53:30,749 --> 00:53:33,376
{\an8}<i>No way, it's the classic</i>
{\an8}<i>or nothing at all for me.</i>

1123
00:53:33,418 --> 00:53:35,545
{\an8}<i>We've finally arrived</i>
{\an8}<i>at an area of agreement.</i>

1124
00:53:38,423 --> 00:53:40,800
{\an8}<i>You know, it occurs that certain</i>
{\an8}<i>aspects of our approaches--</i>

1125
00:53:40,842 --> 00:53:43,470
{\an8}<i>You mean what we've been able to</i>
{\an8}<i>express despite the subterfuge?</i>

1126
00:53:43,511 --> 00:53:46,556
{\an8}<i>Yes, certain aspects of what we</i>
{\an8}<i>bring are highly complimentary.</i>

1127
00:53:46,598 --> 00:53:47,974
{\an8}<i>I agree.</i>

1128
00:53:48,016 --> 00:53:49,601
{\an8}<i>Pairing our strengths</i>
{\an8}<i>might have merit.</i>

1129
00:53:49,643 --> 00:53:51,186
{\an8}<i>A spot check on ideas,</i>

1130
00:53:51,228 --> 00:53:52,854
{\an8}<i>some grounding</i>
{\an8}<i>for the riskiest plays.</i>

1131
00:53:52,896 --> 00:53:55,023
{\an8}<i>A bit of ballast is always</i>
{\an8}<i>welcome on high flights.</i>

1132
00:53:55,065 --> 00:53:57,234
{\an8}<i>As is an aggressive,</i>
{\an8}<i>unconventional stance.</i>

1133
00:53:57,275 --> 00:53:59,694
{\an8}<i>A power-sharing arrangement</i>
{\an8}<i>came to mind.</i>

1134
00:54:01,821 --> 00:54:03,740
- {\an8}<i>-
- Co-heads.</i>
- {\an8}<i>-
- A council of two.</i>

1135
00:54:05,367 --> 00:54:08,870
{\an8}<i>I'm good with that concept,</i>
{\an8}<i>provisionally.</i>

1136
00:54:08,912 --> 00:54:10,288
{\an8}<i>Of course, we'll have</i>
{\an8}<i>to get to know each other</i>

1137
00:54:10,330 --> 00:54:11,790
{\an8}<i>much better over time.</i>

1138
00:54:11,831 --> 00:54:13,541
{\an8}<i>Time we will</i>
{\an8}<i>certainly have, though.</i>

1139
00:54:18,171 --> 00:54:20,215
{\an8}<i>You've known him longer,</i>
{\an8}<i>through your uncle.</i>

1140
00:54:20,257 --> 00:54:21,925
{\an8}<i>What's behind this?</i>

1141
00:54:21,967 --> 00:54:24,427
{\an8}<i>Why would a guy at his peak</i>
{\an8}<i>as an investor,</i>

1142
00:54:24,469 --> 00:54:26,930
{\an8}<i>who just took over a company,</i>
{\an8}<i>embark on this sudden,</i>

1143
00:54:26,972 --> 00:54:28,265
{\an8}<i>vague succession process?</i>

1144
00:54:42,654 --> 00:54:44,948
{\an8}<i>Mike Prince, three-time loser</i>
{\an8}<i>in the public eye,</i>

1145
00:54:44,990 --> 00:54:47,033
{\an8}<i>yet here he is</i>
{\an8}<i>looking good once again</i>

1146
00:54:47,075 --> 00:54:49,452
{\an8}<i>for telling the Chinese</i>
{\an8}<i>to go whistle.</i>

1147
00:54:49,494 --> 00:54:52,455
{\an8}<i>At enormous cost</i>
{\an8}<i>to his bottom line.</i>

1148
00:54:52,497 --> 00:54:53,957
{\an8}<i>The article says,</i>

1149
00:54:53,999 --> 00:54:55,458
{\an8}<i>"Prince, in standing up</i>
{\an8}<i>to the Chinese,</i>

1150
00:54:55,500 --> 00:54:57,002
{\an8}<i>is willing to do something</i>

1151
00:54:57,043 --> 00:54:58,753
{\an8}<i>the White House hasn't</i>
{\an8}<i>in decades,</i>

1152
00:54:58,795 --> 00:55:00,547
{\an8}<i>maybe ever."</i>

1153
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:03,508
{\an8}<i>What is this guy doing?</i>

1154
00:55:03,550 --> 00:55:05,468
{\an8}<i>[laughter]</i>

1155
00:55:10,849 --> 00:55:12,434
{\an8}<i>[Wags] Why would you go</i>
{\an8}<i>out of your way to turn down</i>

1156
00:55:12,475 --> 00:55:14,436
{\an8}<i>a multi-billion-dollar</i>
{\an8}<i>opportunity,</i>

1157
00:55:14,477 --> 00:55:16,313
{\an8}<i>then leak the fuck out of it</i>
{\an8}<i>to the press?</i>

1158
00:55:16,354 --> 00:55:18,231
{\an8}<i>I'm not asking</i>
{\an8}<i>rhetorically.</i>

1159
00:55:18,273 --> 00:55:20,358
{\an8}<i>I need to fucking know who</i>
{\an8}<i>the fuck I'm working with,</i>

1160
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:21,943
{\an8}<i>and that they're not insane.</i>

1161
00:55:24,195 --> 00:55:26,031
{\an8}<i>Why does a guy in the prime</i>
{\an8}<i>of his life,</i>

1162
00:55:26,072 --> 00:55:27,991
{\an8}<i>with a resting heart rate</i>
{\an8}<i>like Tim Ferriss's</i>

1163
00:55:28,033 --> 00:55:29,909
{\an8}<i>suddenly form</i>
{\an8}<i>a succession committee?</i>

1164
00:55:29,951 --> 00:55:31,911
{\an8}<i>Something he's never done</i>
{\an8}<i>at his dozens of companies.</i>

1165
00:55:31,953 --> 00:55:33,830
{\an8}<i>Huh.</i>

1166
00:55:33,872 --> 00:55:38,335
{\an8}<i>Wisconsin, Michigan,</i>
{\an8}<i>Pennsylvania,</i>

1167
00:55:38,376 --> 00:55:41,671
{\an8}<i>Iowa, et cetera.</i>

1168
00:55:41,713 --> 00:55:43,798
{\an8}<i>And why, after dinging</i>
{\an8}<i>Chuck Rhoades almost fatally,</i>

1169
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:45,800
{\an8}<i>did you try to hire him?</i>

1170
00:55:45,842 --> 00:55:48,887
{\an8}<i>You can't stand having enemies?</i>
{\an8}<i>Got to win everyone over?</i>

1171
00:55:50,055 --> 00:55:51,681
{\an8}<i>Why does a guy hold companies</i>

1172
00:55:51,723 --> 00:55:53,850
{\an8}<i>and plants and businesses</i>
{\an8}<i>in every state</i>

1173
00:55:53,892 --> 00:55:57,020
{\an8}<i>that was pivotal in the last</i>
{\an8}<i>four national elections,</i>

1174
00:55:57,062 --> 00:55:59,022
{\an8}<i>without a single layoff</i>
{\an8}<i>at any of them,</i>

1175
00:55:59,064 --> 00:56:01,107
{\an8}<i>some losing money?</i>

1176
00:56:01,149 --> 00:56:03,777
{\an8}<i>[Philip]</i> <i>Why, after losing</i>
<i>the ambassadorship he coveted,</i>

1177
00:56:03,818 --> 00:56:05,820
{\an8}<i>after seeing his Olympic dreams</i>
{\an8}<i>go down the drink,</i>

1178
00:56:05,862 --> 00:56:07,614
{\an8}<i>does the man go bigger?</i>

1179
00:56:07,655 --> 00:56:09,991
{\an8}<i>Something national</i>
{\an8}<i>in scope and ambition--</i>

1180
00:56:10,033 --> 00:56:12,744
{\an8}<i>And he doesn't bother to</i>
{\an8}<i>re-focus on his core businesses?</i>

1181
00:56:12,786 --> 00:56:15,497
{\an8}<i>Why is it Prince won't yield</i>
{\an8}<i>on Mike Money,</i>

1182
00:56:15,538 --> 00:56:18,333
{\an8}<i>can't yield, even after</i>
{\an8}<i>he lost his collateral</i>

1183
00:56:18,375 --> 00:56:19,709
{\an8}<i>and everybody bailed.</i>

1184
00:56:19,751 --> 00:56:21,920
{\an8}<i>Why does he need this win</i>
{\an8}<i>so badly?</i>

1185
00:56:23,630 --> 00:56:25,924
{\an8}<i>Here's why.</i>

1186
00:56:25,965 --> 00:56:30,220
{\an8}<i>Michael fucking Prince</i>
{\an8}<i>is running for president.</i>

1187
00:56:30,261 --> 00:56:32,430
{\an8}<i>President of the United States</i>
{\an8}<i>of America.</i>

1188
00:56:32,472 --> 00:56:33,765
{\an8}<i>And one of us...</i>

1189
00:56:33,807 --> 00:56:35,141
- {\an8}<i>-
- Both of us.</i>  {\an8}<i>-...could be running</i>

1190
00:56:35,183 --> 00:56:36,559
{\an8}<i>Michael Prince Capital</i>
{\an8}<i>very soon.</i>

1191
00:56:37,936 --> 00:56:40,814
{\an8}<i>He already knows,</i>
{\an8}<i>so we should tell him.</i>

1192
00:56:50,782 --> 00:56:52,742
{\an8}<i>Holy shit.</i>

1193
00:56:54,452 --> 00:56:55,995
{\an8}<i>[laughs]</i>
{\an8}<i>Oh.</i>

1194
00:56:56,037 --> 00:57:00,417
{\an8}<i>This guy is Greg Stillson</i>
{\an8}<i>from</i> <i>Dead Zone.</i>

1195
00:57:02,419 --> 00:57:04,838
{\an8}<i>Our interests and the broader</i>
{\an8}<i>interests are now</i>

1196
00:57:04,879 --> 00:57:06,881
{\an8}<i>actually legitimately aligned.</i>

1197
00:57:06,923 --> 00:57:08,550
{\an8}<i>They are.</i>

1198
00:57:08,591 --> 00:57:13,638
{\an8}<i>We need to save the country</i>
{\an8}<i>by stopping Mike Prince.</i>

1199
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:15,140
{\an8}<i>So now you see</i>
{\an8}<i>why it wasn't enough</i>

1200
00:57:15,181 --> 00:57:17,142
{\an8}<i>to remove Chuck from office,</i>

1201
00:57:17,183 --> 00:57:18,601
{\an8}<i>to try to neutralize him.</i>

1202
00:57:19,769 --> 00:57:21,813
{\an8}<i>No.</i>

1203
00:57:21,855 --> 00:57:25,650
{\an8}<i>We need to take that son of</i>
{\an8}<i>a bitch entirely off the board.</i>

1204
00:57:25,692 --> 00:57:27,735
{\an8}<i>[Bruce Springsteen]</i>
<i>Honey, I want the heart </i>

1205
00:57:27,777 --> 00:57:29,112
<i>I want the soul </i>

1206
00:57:29,154 --> 00:57:31,656
<i>I want control right now </i>

1207
00:57:31,698 --> 00:57:33,992
<i>You better listen to me</i>
<i>Baby </i>

1208
00:57:34,033 --> 00:57:36,077
<i>Talk about a dream </i>

1209
00:57:36,119 --> 00:57:37,954
<i>Try to make it real </i>

1210
00:57:37,996 --> 00:57:39,664
<i>You wake up in the night </i>

1211
00:57:39,706 --> 00:57:42,000
<i>With a fear so real </i>

1212
00:57:42,041 --> 00:57:44,043
<i>You spend your life waiting </i>

1213
00:57:44,085 --> 00:57:47,046
<i>For a moment</i>
<i>That just don't come </i>

1214
00:57:47,088 --> 00:57:49,966
<i>Well, don't waste your time</i>
<i>Waiting </i>

1215

00:57:51,301 --> 00:57:53,261
<i>You gotta live it every day </i>

1217
00:57:53,303 --> 00:57:55,263
<i>Let the broken hearts stand </i>

1218
00:57:55,305 --> 00:57:57,390
<i>As the price</i>
<i>You've gotta pay </i>

1219
00:57:57,432 --> 00:57:59,225
<i>Keep pushing</i>
<i>Till it's understood </i>

1220
00:57:59,267 --> 00:58:03,313
<i>And these badlands</i>
<i>Start treating us good </i>
