Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:04,046 --> 00:00:05,964
Previously on Billions...
2
00:00:06,048 --> 00:00:07,132
To our new AG.
3
00:00:07,216 --> 00:00:08,634
- Oh.
- Long may he rule.
4
00:00:08,717 --> 00:00:10,552
Until recently,
I had always had a North Star.
5
00:00:10,636 --> 00:00:12,054
It's too late.
6
00:00:12,137 --> 00:00:14,890
- That's how divorced people talk.
- It is.
7
00:00:14,973 --> 00:00:17,226
You really are serious
about making a change.
8
00:00:17,309 --> 00:00:19,019
I am committed to this course.
9
00:00:19,102 --> 00:00:21,370
To purge the world of villainy.
10
00:00:21,405 --> 00:00:23,565
And myself of...
11
00:00:24,806 --> 00:00:26,068
I guess villainy, too.
12
00:00:26,151 --> 00:00:28,195
Told ya: done giving you info.
13
00:00:28,278 --> 00:00:29,947
There will come a time
14
00:00:30,030 --> 00:00:31,949
when you will be forced
to line up against Axe
15
00:00:32,032 --> 00:00:33,575
for your very survival.
16
00:00:33,659 --> 00:00:36,245
When it does, you will need me.
17
00:00:36,328 --> 00:00:38,288
I'll trade ya a whole pie,
18
00:00:38,372 --> 00:00:40,082
plus solve your Rhoades problems,
19
00:00:40,165 --> 00:00:43,585
for an introduction to a certain
guy who works for your outfit.
20
00:00:43,669 --> 00:00:46,838
They call me "Hard Bob,"
and you know why?
21
00:00:46,922 --> 00:00:48,173
I have an idea.
22
00:00:48,257 --> 00:00:49,925
'Cause I brook no bullshit.
23
00:00:50,008 --> 00:00:52,219
Last I checked,
we still had some sovereignty.
24
00:00:52,302 --> 00:00:54,221
This is where you want to make a stand?
25
00:00:54,304 --> 00:00:55,764
You stole my shaman.
26
00:00:55,847 --> 00:00:58,206
When I compete, hell, I'm there to win.
27
00:00:58,241 --> 00:00:59,559
Game's not over, buddy boy.
28
00:00:59,643 --> 00:01:03,272
But if Mase Cap is no longer an
operation, what do I do here?
29
00:01:03,355 --> 00:01:05,274
That's your answer to the fireside chat:
30
00:01:05,357 --> 00:01:06,918
You want to become a bank.
31
00:01:06,953 --> 00:01:08,986
- I want to become a bank.
- In order to rob it?
32
00:01:09,069 --> 00:01:10,654
In order that I don't have to.
33
00:01:31,008 --> 00:01:34,761
_
34
00:02:05,250 --> 00:02:07,544
How do you know this
shit isn't gonna blow up?
35
00:02:07,627 --> 00:02:10,922
'Cause Gordie Axelrod only
blows up shit when he wants to.
36
00:02:12,098 --> 00:02:14,259
Did you just go full third-person?
37
00:02:14,343 --> 00:02:15,969
Yeah, I know. Too much.
38
00:02:16,053 --> 00:02:18,972
I got carried away with the excitement.
39
00:02:20,284 --> 00:02:22,017
Marcus. Good to go.
40
00:02:28,310 --> 00:02:29,550
Yah. Good to go.
41
00:02:29,585 --> 00:02:33,519
Alright. Two. One. Jam it.
42
00:02:36,785 --> 00:02:37,866
Yeah! Let's get rich...
43
00:02:37,949 --> 00:02:40,577
- Yeah.
- We're crypto millionaires!
44
00:02:47,501 --> 00:02:49,711
Oh, shit.
45
00:02:49,795 --> 00:02:52,547
Gordie Axelrod done fucked up.
46
00:03:52,254 --> 00:03:53,692
Damn.
47
00:03:53,775 --> 00:03:56,202
Those photos the dealer
sent don't capture the...
48
00:03:56,296 --> 00:03:57,946
Power?
49
00:03:58,029 --> 00:04:00,907
Yeah, you have to stand
in front of a painting.
50
00:04:00,991 --> 00:04:02,534
Feel what it does to you.
51
00:04:02,617 --> 00:04:05,078
I'm sure feeling something.
52
00:04:05,162 --> 00:04:06,413
What is it?
53
00:04:06,496 --> 00:04:09,708
Oh. Guy's wrestling with the big themes.
54
00:04:09,791 --> 00:04:12,502
Sex, drugs, and Cocoa Puffs?
55
00:04:12,586 --> 00:04:13,620
Close...
56
00:04:18,925 --> 00:04:20,635
This.
57
00:04:20,719 --> 00:04:22,971
This is the one.
58
00:04:27,667 --> 00:04:29,311
Dealer said his last
show was a while ago.
59
00:04:29,394 --> 00:04:31,730
Dealer said it was almost a bust...
60
00:04:31,813 --> 00:04:34,483
guy refused to
dance for collectors.
61
00:04:34,566 --> 00:04:37,277
But it sold through.
62
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,447
- The work...
- Yeah, the work.
63
00:04:40,530 --> 00:04:44,785
Good job getting me in here
while it's still virgin snow.
64
00:04:44,868 --> 00:04:47,454
Let's grab these up
before the show starts.
65
00:04:52,001 --> 00:04:53,794
- What the fuck?
- Red dots?
66
00:04:53,877 --> 00:04:55,003
That means sold. That means...
67
00:04:55,086 --> 00:04:56,838
There was a pre-pre-viewing?
68
00:04:56,922 --> 00:04:59,049
- Im-fucking-possible.
- It happened.
69
00:04:59,132 --> 00:05:00,592
We got snaked.
70
00:05:00,675 --> 00:05:03,558
I will find the dealer and
ship him back to that armory
71
00:05:03,593 --> 00:05:06,139
broken down like a disassembled
M-16 in a fucking crate...
72
00:05:06,223 --> 00:05:08,600
Forget the dealer. We'll get him later.
73
00:05:08,683 --> 00:05:10,514
Right now we go to the source.
74
00:05:22,989 --> 00:05:24,533
You know what this guy looks like?
75
00:05:24,616 --> 00:05:25,909
No. Very low-pro on the web.
76
00:05:25,992 --> 00:05:28,370
Well. We'll spot him...
77
00:05:32,958 --> 00:05:34,584
Look.
78
00:05:39,756 --> 00:05:41,675
And now we have.
79
00:05:50,673 --> 00:05:52,477
Hey, Tanner,
80
00:05:52,561 --> 00:05:54,437
- Bobby Axelrod...
- How you doing?
81
00:05:54,521 --> 00:05:56,898
Tanner, Axe, here, is a major collector.
82
00:05:56,982 --> 00:05:59,109
Great eye for what's next.
Worth knowing.
83
00:06:01,710 --> 00:06:03,613
I wish I had something
to sell you. But...
84
00:06:03,697 --> 00:06:08,451
Prince. You bought the Implosion series.
85
00:06:08,535 --> 00:06:10,579
Oh. I love knowing
that you dig 'em, too.
86
00:06:10,662 --> 00:06:13,027
Yeah. I got here early,
and they spoke to me.
87
00:06:13,389 --> 00:06:15,959
Damn, man.
Not my intention to scoop you.
88
00:06:16,042 --> 00:06:19,421
Hey, if it couldn't be me. Salut.
89
00:06:19,504 --> 00:06:21,256
Just kill me now.
90
00:06:21,339 --> 00:06:23,091
Disturbing work, huh?
91
00:06:23,174 --> 00:06:25,044
It really gets into
the weighty questions.
92
00:06:25,079 --> 00:06:26,761
Mm. You know, what caught my eye
93
00:06:26,845 --> 00:06:29,139
is the humility in the
face of inevitable decay.
94
00:06:29,222 --> 00:06:30,932
Something you missed, no doubt.
95
00:06:31,016 --> 00:06:33,435
Ahh, well,
I'll have plenty of time to find it
96
00:06:33,518 --> 00:06:35,228
when it's hanging in my beach house.
97
00:06:36,771 --> 00:06:37,771
Well, you'll beat me
to the punch next time.
98
00:06:37,814 --> 00:06:40,525
How much second-rate
dogshit did you have to buy
99
00:06:40,609 --> 00:06:42,544
- to get him in early?
- Nah, buying someone off,
100
00:06:42,631 --> 00:06:44,711
- that's your move.
- What'd you use, charm?
101
00:06:45,021 --> 00:06:46,781
Charm? Charm's thin.
102
00:06:46,865 --> 00:06:49,284
Shit, you're charming,
but you ain't got a painting.
103
00:06:49,367 --> 00:06:52,454
No, I happen to be warm and inviting.
104
00:06:52,537 --> 00:06:53,788
And draw people to me.
105
00:06:53,872 --> 00:06:55,707
In this case, I lucked into catching
106
00:06:55,790 --> 00:06:57,751
a morning set with his dealer in Zuma.
107
00:06:57,834 --> 00:07:00,754
Yesterday. Hardly had to ask.
108
00:07:00,837 --> 00:07:02,130
Serendipity do da.
109
00:07:02,213 --> 00:07:03,757
So. Where do you go from here?
110
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:05,842
Home. Back to Hudson.
111
00:07:05,925 --> 00:07:07,635
Oh? You done with Implosion?
112
00:07:07,670 --> 00:07:08,970
Are you?
113
00:07:09,054 --> 00:07:11,640
I'm, uh, talking with the artist.
114
00:07:14,711 --> 00:07:17,355
'Cause I'd love to buy if you have more.
115
00:07:17,390 --> 00:07:19,397
I-I don't have a fucking
clue if I ever will.
116
00:07:20,696 --> 00:07:22,400
I've always been obsessed
with what happens to things
117
00:07:22,484 --> 00:07:24,986
when they come to their end.
118
00:07:25,070 --> 00:07:26,808
Yeah. I don't paint for money.
119
00:07:26,843 --> 00:07:28,198
Never have. Or demand.
120
00:07:28,281 --> 00:07:30,158
So I don't know.
121
00:07:31,387 --> 00:07:33,839
Well when you do, think of me.
122
00:07:34,614 --> 00:07:37,791
- Okay.
- Tanner, it's your moment,
123
00:07:37,874 --> 00:07:41,336
let's go down and let
'em see our paintings.
124
00:07:45,715 --> 00:07:47,175
I failed you, habibi.
125
00:07:47,258 --> 00:07:49,219
I don't feel like
bucking you up right now.
126
00:07:49,302 --> 00:07:51,846
- Just do the next thing.
- Which is?
127
00:07:51,930 --> 00:07:53,807
"I don't paint for money"
128
00:07:53,890 --> 00:07:56,033
means nobody has paid me enough yet.
129
00:07:56,068 --> 00:07:58,311
So, if you can't buy the art...
130
00:07:58,395 --> 00:07:59,688
buy the artist.
131
00:08:09,698 --> 00:08:11,700
What happens when you give me a job?
132
00:08:13,702 --> 00:08:15,870
Like Hector Elizondo
in The Flamingo Kid:
133
00:08:15,954 --> 00:08:17,539
You cut a joint, it stays.
134
00:08:17,622 --> 00:08:19,791
I have no idea what any
of those words mean.
135
00:08:19,874 --> 00:08:21,876
But yes. I get the damn job done.
136
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:23,169
See, he's a plumber...
137
00:08:23,253 --> 00:08:24,838
And, uh, he works with his hands.
138
00:08:24,921 --> 00:08:27,632
A pipe joint is, um...
139
00:08:27,716 --> 00:08:29,759
Anyway, in this case?
140
00:08:29,843 --> 00:08:30,852
Once the governor took our budget
141
00:08:30,885 --> 00:08:33,230
and those criminal cases away,
you said, uh...
142
00:08:33,313 --> 00:08:34,389
Yes. Find me some civil cases
143
00:08:34,472 --> 00:08:36,225
- with big settlements.
- Mm.
144
00:08:36,297 --> 00:08:39,436
Since we get to keep
'em and spend it as we see fit.
145
00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:41,062
Well, I did it.
146
00:08:41,146 --> 00:08:42,856
We'll have about 5 million coming in.
147
00:08:44,649 --> 00:08:46,401
Praise be.
148
00:08:46,484 --> 00:08:48,820
Yep. Just like Elizondo in Kid.
149
00:08:48,903 --> 00:08:50,238
I'll take that as a compliment.
150
00:08:50,321 --> 00:08:51,823
Oh, that's how it was intended.
151
00:08:51,906 --> 00:08:54,949
If I'd wanted to insult you,
I'd have called you Big Sid.
152
00:08:54,984 --> 00:08:56,036
Good job.
153
00:08:57,733 --> 00:08:58,922
Keep it coming.
154
00:09:03,450 --> 00:09:05,336
- What do you think?
- Think he'll go for it?
155
00:09:06,844 --> 00:09:08,048
- Wouldn't you?
- Yeah.
156
00:09:08,131 --> 00:09:10,190
But I don't see the
world the way he does.
157
00:09:11,061 --> 00:09:12,927
- It does get good light though...
- Mm.
158
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,226
You wanted to talk banks?
159
00:09:20,310 --> 00:09:24,522
- Mm.
- Let's talk banks.
160
00:09:24,606 --> 00:09:27,609
Axe... you're not getting a bank.
161
00:09:29,046 --> 00:09:30,987
That is, sadly,
the long and short of it.
162
00:09:31,071 --> 00:09:33,948
Which I could've told you in
five minutes at your office,
163
00:09:34,032 --> 00:09:35,575
where we were supposed to meet...
164
00:09:35,658 --> 00:09:38,036
Yeah, change of plans.
165
00:09:38,119 --> 00:09:40,205
- What is this place?
- Special project.
166
00:09:40,288 --> 00:09:41,664
Don't worry about it.
167
00:09:41,748 --> 00:09:43,208
So, how'm I getting a bank.
168
00:09:43,291 --> 00:09:45,126
Told you, you won't.
169
00:09:45,210 --> 00:09:47,378
FDIC approval is never happening.
170
00:09:47,462 --> 00:09:50,186
We know it's hard.
That's why we have Hard Bob here.
171
00:09:50,221 --> 00:09:51,806
To crack it open.
172
00:09:51,841 --> 00:09:54,677
You didn't come to New York City
just to give us apologies...
173
00:09:54,761 --> 00:09:56,685
No, I came for the Armory Show.
174
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:57,806
And him?
175
00:09:57,889 --> 00:09:59,849
I like art parties.
176
00:09:59,933 --> 00:10:02,685
Which we will be
getting back to post-haste...
177
00:10:02,769 --> 00:10:04,113
after I make you understand
178
00:10:04,163 --> 00:10:07,857
why a federal bank will
not be in your future.
179
00:10:11,163 --> 00:10:12,306
Hello?
180
00:10:15,998 --> 00:10:18,993
Understood...
I'll be there this afternoon.
181
00:10:19,619 --> 00:10:20,912
We need to get on a plane.
182
00:10:20,995 --> 00:10:22,705
Gordie stepped in some shit at school.
183
00:10:22,789 --> 00:10:26,126
- Have a good trip...
- Uh uh. Hang tight.
184
00:10:26,209 --> 00:10:27,710
You two are both coming with.
185
00:10:27,794 --> 00:10:29,462
And by the time we land,
186
00:10:29,546 --> 00:10:31,947
I want to know how I am
getting a fucking bank.
187
00:10:41,975 --> 00:10:43,476
No fucking way that works.
188
00:10:43,560 --> 00:10:45,854
No fucking way you understand it.
189
00:10:45,937 --> 00:10:48,064
We educate them
so they can run the world.
190
00:10:48,148 --> 00:10:49,816
One day.
191
00:10:49,899 --> 00:10:52,152
But we can't let them run the school.
192
00:10:52,235 --> 00:10:53,495
That's our job.
193
00:10:53,523 --> 00:10:56,206
To make the tough decisions
until they're ready to.
194
00:10:56,267 --> 00:11:00,535
Is that hand-holding?
Is that condescension?
195
00:11:00,618 --> 00:11:04,122
No. Here at Lawrenceburg,
we call it guidance.
196
00:11:05,221 --> 00:11:06,249
He's right about that.
197
00:11:06,332 --> 00:11:07,917
The students at that university...
198
00:11:08,001 --> 00:11:10,428
if he lets them win,
decide where to invest...
199
00:11:10,463 --> 00:11:11,754
he's lost all control.
200
00:11:11,838 --> 00:11:13,317
That's what he's saying.
201
00:11:13,352 --> 00:11:14,507
But not what he believes.
202
00:11:14,591 --> 00:11:17,088
This is NLP.
Natural Language Processing.
203
00:11:17,123 --> 00:11:19,390
Analyzing subtext
through artificial intelligence.
204
00:11:19,425 --> 00:11:21,556
- It does work.
- And pretty fucking cool.
205
00:11:21,639 --> 00:11:23,433
The computer is digging
past the words he's saying,
206
00:11:23,516 --> 00:11:25,143
beneath the speech itself...
207
00:11:25,226 --> 00:11:26,978
- Still seems like bullshit.
- Stay with us.
208
00:11:27,061 --> 00:11:29,564
By analyzing speech patterns,
vocal frequencies,
209
00:11:29,647 --> 00:11:31,065
tone, sentence structure,
210
00:11:31,149 --> 00:11:33,151
it tells us that this
man wants to divest
211
00:11:33,234 --> 00:11:35,028
his university's billion dollar fund
212
00:11:35,111 --> 00:11:36,237
from fossil fuels.
213
00:11:36,321 --> 00:11:38,156
And not just because
of student protests.
214
00:11:38,239 --> 00:11:40,408
- Because he thinks it's right.
- That's a theory, right?
215
00:11:40,491 --> 00:11:41,534
A probability?
216
00:11:42,476 --> 00:11:44,204
Look at him... trying.
217
00:11:44,287 --> 00:11:46,539
Yes, it is a probabilistic conclusion.
218
00:11:46,623 --> 00:11:47,916
But we've analyzed his statements
219
00:11:47,999 --> 00:11:49,500
and noticed a change
about five years ago...
220
00:11:49,584 --> 00:11:52,045
the first time any major
university divested.
221
00:11:52,128 --> 00:11:54,589
If he wants in on the party,
why's he holding back?
222
00:11:54,672 --> 00:11:56,873
You know it's not so easy
223
00:11:56,908 --> 00:11:58,259
to unroll from these positions
224
00:11:58,343 --> 00:12:00,261
without significant losses.
225
00:12:00,345 --> 00:12:03,264
- Can we?
- Hell yeah, we can!
226
00:12:03,348 --> 00:12:06,476
I mean,
this will be the first live test.
227
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,062
But yeah... I'm pretty fucking sure.
228
00:12:12,774 --> 00:12:14,400
Have Lauren set the pitch.
229
00:12:15,184 --> 00:12:19,181
I know some of his board of trustees.
230
00:12:19,743 --> 00:12:22,238
- This won't be easy.
- Big wins never are.
231
00:12:22,878 --> 00:12:24,564
Then go get that endowment.
232
00:12:24,599 --> 00:12:27,163
And don't fail,
because after Langstraat pulled...
233
00:12:27,247 --> 00:12:29,984
Yes. Another loss will be
demoralizing. And crippling.
234
00:12:30,019 --> 00:12:32,627
To succeed we're going to need you to be
235
00:12:32,710 --> 00:12:34,295
something you haven't been lately.
236
00:12:34,379 --> 00:12:35,421
Friendly?
237
00:12:35,505 --> 00:12:36,564
Effective.
238
00:12:44,555 --> 00:12:46,735
How do you appeal to
someone whose values,
239
00:12:46,770 --> 00:12:49,644
whose entire system of beliefs,
is opposed to yours?
240
00:12:49,727 --> 00:12:52,559
- Are you talking about me?
- Not this time. No.
241
00:12:52,594 --> 00:12:54,691
Although you should have asked
me before approaching Lauren.
242
00:12:54,774 --> 00:12:56,442
Do you want to talk about it now?
243
00:12:56,526 --> 00:12:58,278
No. No, a potential investor.
244
00:12:58,361 --> 00:13:00,321
Chancellor of Lawrenceburg.
245
00:13:01,212 --> 00:13:02,323
Do you want to give me more information
246
00:13:02,407 --> 00:13:03,825
or leave it super theoretical?
247
00:13:03,908 --> 00:13:05,827
I would like to give you, at all times,
248
00:13:05,910 --> 00:13:07,495
as little information as possible.
249
00:13:07,578 --> 00:13:10,039
But, we have found a way to
get underneath his words.
250
00:13:10,123 --> 00:13:12,798
He knows he should divest
his school from fossil fuels.
251
00:13:12,833 --> 00:13:15,503
He hates that the pressure to
do so is coming from students.
252
00:13:15,586 --> 00:13:17,046
And if he does it in the wrong way,
253
00:13:17,130 --> 00:13:18,559
he believes he will be fired.
254
00:13:18,594 --> 00:13:20,174
So he cares too much about things
255
00:13:20,258 --> 00:13:21,551
he shouldn't care about at all?
256
00:13:21,634 --> 00:13:23,261
Part of him wants to fight the kids
257
00:13:23,344 --> 00:13:24,679
for the sake of fighting the kids.
258
00:13:24,762 --> 00:13:26,055
But that isn't rational.
259
00:13:26,139 --> 00:13:27,888
That's the problem with the real world,
260
00:13:27,923 --> 00:13:29,309
real people.
261
00:13:29,392 --> 00:13:30,727
We're not computers
262
00:13:30,810 --> 00:13:32,895
with the software
directing the hardware.
263
00:13:32,979 --> 00:13:34,355
We're not rational actors.
264
00:13:34,439 --> 00:13:37,692
- Some of us are.
- Some of us think we are.
265
00:13:39,652 --> 00:13:41,821
Are you familiar with Jonathan Haidt?
266
00:13:41,904 --> 00:13:42,955
The social psychologist.
267
00:13:43,638 --> 00:13:46,242
- Do you believe in God?
- Um, no.
268
00:13:49,562 --> 00:13:51,956
A simple transaction.
269
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,126
Ten bucks, for your eternal soul.
270
00:13:55,209 --> 00:13:59,005
Oh, and you need
to sign it over on paper.
271
00:14:05,669 --> 00:14:06,804
Do you take the deal?
272
00:14:09,849 --> 00:14:11,809
And that pause tells you
273
00:14:11,893 --> 00:14:14,562
everything you
need to know about people.
274
00:14:14,645 --> 00:14:16,347
The moment when convictions run headlong
275
00:14:16,382 --> 00:14:18,472
into layers of psychological baggage
276
00:14:18,507 --> 00:14:20,329
that evolution and social convention
277
00:14:20,364 --> 00:14:21,903
have wrapped them in.
278
00:14:22,592 --> 00:14:24,799
You don't believe in the
religious concept of a soul,
279
00:14:24,834 --> 00:14:27,970
yet you still hesitate at selling yours.
280
00:14:28,005 --> 00:14:29,110
There's still that gap
281
00:14:29,193 --> 00:14:31,245
between rational thought
and rational action.
282
00:14:31,329 --> 00:14:33,367
Between software and hardware.
283
00:14:33,402 --> 00:14:34,499
How do we bridge that gap?
284
00:14:36,809 --> 00:14:39,119
Make the man fear inaction.
285
00:14:39,154 --> 00:14:41,756
And the regret he'll have
if he makes the wrong move.
286
00:14:41,839 --> 00:14:43,633
And now we're back to Lauren.
287
00:14:43,716 --> 00:14:45,760
Stop moving people
around as you think best,
288
00:14:45,843 --> 00:14:47,011
even if you're right.
289
00:14:47,095 --> 00:14:49,806
You should have approached me first.
290
00:14:49,889 --> 00:14:51,432
We should talk more.
291
00:15:15,248 --> 00:15:17,166
- Gentlemen.
- Thanks, Sabrina.
292
00:15:17,250 --> 00:15:18,543
Enjoy.
293
00:15:22,037 --> 00:15:24,549
I don't want to offend.
May I speak freely?
294
00:15:24,632 --> 00:15:25,883
Please do.
295
00:15:25,967 --> 00:15:27,802
Even you can't bribe, beg,
296
00:15:27,885 --> 00:15:29,786
and bully your way into a bank.
297
00:15:29,821 --> 00:15:32,765
Your past legal troubles
make you too fragrant
298
00:15:32,849 --> 00:15:35,351
to clear the federal background dive.
299
00:15:35,434 --> 00:15:37,979
The SEC will drop its scat
all over your application.
300
00:15:38,062 --> 00:15:40,606
I, too, don't want to offend.
May I speak freely?
301
00:15:40,690 --> 00:15:42,525
Mode I prefer. I brook no bullshit.
302
00:15:42,608 --> 00:15:44,068
You can go fuck yourself.
303
00:15:44,152 --> 00:15:45,896
Our legal issues were extinguished.
304
00:15:45,931 --> 00:15:47,581
Bringing them up now
is like watching porn
305
00:15:47,616 --> 00:15:49,073
after you've already gotten off.
306
00:15:49,157 --> 00:15:50,449
Well, may I speak freely?
307
00:15:50,533 --> 00:15:52,034
Your legal issues were the tip
308
00:15:52,118 --> 00:15:53,661
of the fucking toxic iceberg...
309
00:15:53,744 --> 00:15:56,747
- May I speak freely?
- You can both speak fucking freely.
310
00:15:56,831 --> 00:16:00,007
I thought you were omnipotent.
Or pretty fucking close anyway.
311
00:16:00,042 --> 00:16:03,171
Now you're telling the FDIC
won't give me approval?
312
00:16:03,254 --> 00:16:06,674
Even Jesus kept the miracles in
the realm of the conceivable.
313
00:16:06,757 --> 00:16:08,759
The FDIC makes the
casino licensing board
314
00:16:08,843 --> 00:16:10,794
look as soft as Cottonelle.
315
00:16:10,829 --> 00:16:13,848
The fucking bankers almost
bankrupted the country...
316
00:16:13,931 --> 00:16:15,933
And they got even
richer when they did it.
317
00:16:16,017 --> 00:16:18,227
But they got their licenses first.
318
00:16:18,311 --> 00:16:20,814
They were smart enough not
to stick their shmekels
319
00:16:20,849 --> 00:16:22,628
into the tushies of the average American
320
00:16:22,663 --> 00:16:25,797
until they actually had
a goddamn bank charter.
321
00:16:25,832 --> 00:16:28,848
As in all things, sequence matters.
322
00:16:28,883 --> 00:16:30,907
- You got too dirty too soon.
- Mm-hmm.
323
00:16:30,990 --> 00:16:32,241
So gimme a plan.
324
00:16:32,325 --> 00:16:33,534
Take your chance with a state charter.
325
00:16:33,618 --> 00:16:37,163
Different regulators, lesser.
Perhaps more open to the...
326
00:16:37,246 --> 00:16:39,207
Bribing, the begging, the bullying.
327
00:16:39,290 --> 00:16:41,709
We'd still be a bank.
328
00:16:41,792 --> 00:16:44,837
If you make it through
the flaming hoops.
329
00:16:44,921 --> 00:16:47,256
You'll need to show a
high level of liquidity.
330
00:16:47,340 --> 00:16:48,966
You'll need an airtight board.
331
00:16:49,050 --> 00:16:52,428
You'll need a, a unassailable CEO.
332
00:16:52,511 --> 00:16:55,097
And you'll have to rehab
your image with state pols
333
00:16:55,181 --> 00:16:56,791
who will be unapologetic
334
00:16:56,826 --> 00:16:59,060
and totally blind to
their own corruption.
335
00:17:00,281 --> 00:17:02,355
Why don't you come work for me,
Hard Bob?
336
00:17:02,438 --> 00:17:04,857
You know the territory.
I like the way you roll.
337
00:17:05,955 --> 00:17:06,897
Lease him out to me.
338
00:17:06,932 --> 00:17:09,111
He's his own man,
he can do what he wants.
339
00:17:09,195 --> 00:17:13,950
Thanks for the offer,
I find it touching...
340
00:17:14,033 --> 00:17:17,416
but I love working for the
G alongside Special K here.
341
00:17:17,451 --> 00:17:18,829
I'll stick where I am.
342
00:17:22,291 --> 00:17:24,168
Hey Lar...
343
00:17:27,672 --> 00:17:30,007
I know...
344
00:17:30,091 --> 00:17:34,345
Yeah. I'm on my way now.
345
00:17:35,148 --> 00:17:36,803
They're not throwing
him out of anywhere,
346
00:17:36,838 --> 00:17:37,890
you can count on that...
347
00:17:41,611 --> 00:17:43,854
- Dad...
- What the fuck, Gord?
348
00:17:43,938 --> 00:17:45,523
Bitcoin mining in your dorm?
349
00:17:45,606 --> 00:17:47,733
- Multi-mining.
- What the fuck is a 'multi?'
350
00:17:47,817 --> 00:17:49,865
Mining a selection of cryptocurrencies
351
00:17:49,900 --> 00:17:50,987
with the highest market prices
352
00:17:51,070 --> 00:17:52,780
and trading them back for Bitcoin.
353
00:17:52,863 --> 00:17:55,449
It's the smart way to do the
stupid thing he was doing.
354
00:17:55,533 --> 00:17:57,535
But it was gonna work.
And it should have worked.
355
00:17:57,618 --> 00:17:59,453
If the wiring in the
dorm wasn't so shit...
356
00:17:59,537 --> 00:18:00,554
You're blaming that?
357
00:18:00,638 --> 00:18:03,791
Well. That's why we bypassed
the internal fusing.
358
00:18:05,033 --> 00:18:06,669
Give us a call when you quit college.
359
00:18:06,752 --> 00:18:09,297
We'll have a job for you.
360
00:18:09,380 --> 00:18:10,798
Now, Gord, where'd you come up
361
00:18:10,881 --> 00:18:12,466
with a fucking scheme like this?
362
00:18:15,511 --> 00:18:17,243
Your son was responsible
363
00:18:17,278 --> 00:18:19,807
for the cascading failure
of the local grid.
364
00:18:20,871 --> 00:18:21,959
Knocked out the town.
365
00:18:21,994 --> 00:18:24,927
All in service of some digital Mammon...
366
00:18:33,070 --> 00:18:35,364
I don't think Gordie
should be here for this.
367
00:18:35,448 --> 00:18:36,991
I'm going to speak more plainly
368
00:18:37,074 --> 00:18:38,743
than you're used to, Mr. Axelrod.
369
00:18:38,826 --> 00:18:40,119
My son can handle it.
370
00:18:40,202 --> 00:18:41,954
I'm not sure you understand, sir.
371
00:18:42,038 --> 00:18:43,331
I'm going to talk...
372
00:18:43,414 --> 00:18:45,708
I get it.
373
00:18:45,791 --> 00:18:48,586
Like Senator Geary in Two.
374
00:18:48,669 --> 00:18:52,048
And, as Il Padrino did in that picture,
375
00:18:52,131 --> 00:18:56,218
let me make you an offer.
376
00:18:56,302 --> 00:18:58,763
A generous donation to the school.
377
00:18:58,846 --> 00:19:02,475
Plus the costs of fixing up
whatever it is Gordie broke.
378
00:19:03,467 --> 00:19:05,728
Because that,
that's what this is to you.
379
00:19:06,834 --> 00:19:08,022
Something you fix
380
00:19:08,105 --> 00:19:10,483
by dangling trinkets
in front of my face.
381
00:19:15,363 --> 00:19:17,948
Your son dishonors himself,
382
00:19:18,032 --> 00:19:19,867
dishonors this school,
383
00:19:19,950 --> 00:19:22,411
and you see it as part of
a financial transaction.
384
00:19:23,134 --> 00:19:24,705
Dishonors? I think you're soaking up
385
00:19:24,789 --> 00:19:26,874
a little bit too much
of the atmosphere here.
386
00:19:27,741 --> 00:19:30,503
It was...
387
00:19:30,586 --> 00:19:33,823
Let's call it an independent
lab project gone bad.
388
00:19:33,858 --> 00:19:35,132
Knocked out a few lights.
389
00:19:35,216 --> 00:19:37,885
But you gotta admit, showed initiative.
390
00:19:37,968 --> 00:19:41,263
Our business leaders today,
they started young,
391
00:19:41,347 --> 00:19:43,391
goes doubly for our startups...
392
00:19:43,474 --> 00:19:46,642
It showed, Mr. Axelrod,
a complete lack of respect
393
00:19:47,404 --> 00:19:48,704
for the codes and morals
394
00:19:48,739 --> 00:19:50,231
that we've been instilling
in our young men,
395
00:19:50,314 --> 00:19:52,983
and more recently women,
for generations.
396
00:19:53,067 --> 00:19:55,653
And more than that,
397
00:19:55,736 --> 00:19:57,822
more than that,
it's a true lack of character.
398
00:20:01,283 --> 00:20:02,660
Though I am sorry...
399
00:20:02,743 --> 00:20:04,412
because as much as I want to believe
400
00:20:04,425 --> 00:20:06,072
that each student that
enters Skinner Prep
401
00:20:06,153 --> 00:20:08,582
comes in here a blank slate...
402
00:20:08,666 --> 00:20:10,968
oh, sir, I don't know if your son
403
00:20:11,003 --> 00:20:12,545
ever really had that chance.
404
00:20:15,079 --> 00:20:15,756
Hmm.
405
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,676
You really did want to insult me today.
406
00:20:18,759 --> 00:20:22,888
No. I want to wake you up to
the dangers your son is in.
407
00:20:22,972 --> 00:20:25,474
To the dangers you helped put him in.
408
00:20:25,558 --> 00:20:28,352
The world outside
this campus may be in crisis...
409
00:20:28,436 --> 00:20:30,938
driven there largely by men like you,
410
00:20:32,135 --> 00:20:33,649
modern-day robber barons
411
00:20:33,733 --> 00:20:36,527
who only care about acquiring more,
more, more, more...
412
00:20:36,610 --> 00:20:40,990
but here, this place, sir,
413
00:20:41,073 --> 00:20:44,243
this oasis, is the antidote.
414
00:20:44,326 --> 00:20:46,704
I can't tell how many
zeros you're looking for.
415
00:20:49,812 --> 00:20:51,751
At this school,
we don't hold the sins of the father
416
00:20:51,834 --> 00:20:54,295
against the son.
417
00:20:54,378 --> 00:20:56,088
But we do judge the sins of the son
418
00:20:56,172 --> 00:20:57,506
on their own merits.
419
00:20:57,590 --> 00:20:59,133
And right now, I have to tell you,
420
00:20:59,216 --> 00:21:00,885
I'm leaning heavily toward expulsion.
421
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,764
Yeah. Lean too far,
you might could fall.
422
00:21:06,884 --> 00:21:08,601
I'm no band leader.
423
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,278
Last guy who said that
lost his prized equine.
424
00:21:14,690 --> 00:21:16,233
It might seem like a tough lesson.
425
00:21:16,317 --> 00:21:18,319
But no matter how hard you try...
426
00:21:18,402 --> 00:21:21,864
I will not allow you to put
a price on Gordie's soul.
427
00:21:26,243 --> 00:21:27,661
Good day.
428
00:21:41,258 --> 00:21:42,676
Am I punished?
429
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,011
I don't know what I'm doing with you.
430
00:21:45,387 --> 00:21:48,098
First, let's get you clear of it.
431
00:21:48,182 --> 00:21:50,226
Tell me we got something
good on this prig?
432
00:21:50,309 --> 00:21:52,770
Bad news.
The Headmaster, Kessel, is clean.
433
00:21:52,853 --> 00:21:55,022
This is a man with no discernible vices.
434
00:21:55,105 --> 00:21:57,691
No arrests, no legal battles,
435
00:21:57,775 --> 00:21:59,777
no financial problems. Not even a DUI.
436
00:21:59,860 --> 00:22:02,947
I mean who doesn't have a
single DUI on their record...
437
00:22:04,125 --> 00:22:05,741
I digress.
438
00:22:06,731 --> 00:22:07,660
Fuck this place...
439
00:22:07,743 --> 00:22:09,912
- Wait, I like it here...
- Thacker Prep.
440
00:22:09,995 --> 00:22:11,580
Beech Abbey School. Eaglestone.
441
00:22:11,664 --> 00:22:13,396
All fine, fine institutions...
442
00:22:13,431 --> 00:22:14,959
Those are rehabs and reform schools.
443
00:22:15,042 --> 00:22:16,836
And all brief resting
places for me in my youth.
444
00:22:16,919 --> 00:22:18,587
I was going to offer to make a call.
445
00:22:18,671 --> 00:22:20,840
Gordie's not tumbling
down the fucking ladder,
446
00:22:20,923 --> 00:22:22,550
he's staying here.
447
00:22:23,317 --> 00:22:25,316
Look. If we can't squeeze
the Headmaster,
448
00:22:25,351 --> 00:22:27,721
then we squeeze what he loves most:
the school.
449
00:22:27,805 --> 00:22:30,958
And we squeeze him where
it's most tender: the donors.
450
00:22:30,993 --> 00:22:32,309
I'll call Hall.
451
00:22:33,978 --> 00:22:38,399
- Dad, I'm really sorry.
- Hey. Hey.
452
00:22:38,482 --> 00:22:40,968
Of course I defend you in
front of the Headmaster...
453
00:22:41,003 --> 00:22:43,028
never speak against the family...
454
00:22:43,112 --> 00:22:46,263
but between us, you really fucked up.
455
00:22:46,298 --> 00:22:49,076
The risk/reward ratio is off.
456
00:22:49,159 --> 00:22:51,328
And there are better
ways to impress a girl...
457
00:22:51,412 --> 00:22:53,414
than putting your whole future at stake.
458
00:22:53,497 --> 00:22:55,499
Look. I'm not mad that you ran a scheme,
459
00:22:55,583 --> 00:22:57,960
I'm mad you didn't game it out.
460
00:22:58,043 --> 00:23:00,122
Second law of thermodynamics, Gordie...
461
00:23:00,157 --> 00:23:02,256
Total entropy of a system...
462
00:23:02,339 --> 00:23:05,259
No. The price of your actions.
463
00:23:05,342 --> 00:23:07,761
Now we have to ruin a headmaster.
464
00:23:07,845 --> 00:23:11,098
- A good man.
- What a show of parentage.
465
00:23:12,016 --> 00:23:14,268
I have so much to learn from you both,
466
00:23:14,351 --> 00:23:16,604
about communication
between a father and a son.
467
00:23:23,500 --> 00:23:26,530
Hall, we have a job for you,
468
00:23:26,614 --> 00:23:28,073
breaking down a prep school
469
00:23:28,157 --> 00:23:30,492
like a butcher quartering a spring lamb.
470
00:23:30,576 --> 00:23:33,078
I'll get to that in a minute.
471
00:23:33,162 --> 00:23:35,873
But first, I have a job for you.
472
00:23:35,956 --> 00:23:39,835
I've had an epiphany,
watching Axe with...
473
00:23:39,919 --> 00:23:42,296
Anyway, it is time
474
00:23:42,379 --> 00:23:45,966
that I became a real pater familias.
475
00:23:46,050 --> 00:23:48,802
I am reaching out to all of my children.
476
00:23:48,886 --> 00:23:50,763
I have tabs on the little ones,
477
00:23:50,846 --> 00:23:54,141
but I need you to locate my older sons.
478
00:23:54,224 --> 00:23:56,810
Look, the truth is:
479
00:23:56,894 --> 00:23:59,939
they cut me off.
480
00:24:00,022 --> 00:24:02,650
But I need to see what they're up to...
481
00:24:02,733 --> 00:24:04,818
what they've become.
482
00:24:08,273 --> 00:24:10,449
_
483
00:24:10,532 --> 00:24:13,077
We were thrilled to hear
that you might be interested
484
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,425
in teaching here at the
Law School this semester.
485
00:24:15,460 --> 00:24:18,165
And I was doubly thrilled
that you could make the time
486
00:24:18,248 --> 00:24:20,000
to talk with me about it, Dean Walker.
487
00:24:20,084 --> 00:24:21,460
A sitting AG?
488
00:24:21,543 --> 00:24:23,337
Students will be cutting
each other off at the knees
489
00:24:23,435 --> 00:24:25,214
to get into your office hours.
490
00:24:26,202 --> 00:24:27,424
Appreciate the compliment,
491
00:24:27,508 --> 00:24:29,802
though looking back at my days here,
492
00:24:29,885 --> 00:24:31,929
most of the scrambling was drunken
493
00:24:32,012 --> 00:24:34,556
and involved fried glazed
doughnuts at The Doodle.
494
00:24:35,282 --> 00:24:37,007
Education should be robust.
495
00:24:37,042 --> 00:24:38,352
For me it was.
496
00:24:38,435 --> 00:24:41,105
Oh. The world... and my place in it...
497
00:24:41,188 --> 00:24:44,525
was never so clear as
when I was at school here.
498
00:24:45,971 --> 00:24:48,028
Sleepless, buried under an avalanche
499
00:24:48,112 --> 00:24:50,030
of books and case studies...
500
00:24:50,114 --> 00:24:52,700
The point of it all
never burned so brightly.
501
00:24:52,783 --> 00:24:56,870
Oh. I was in hell, yes,
but it all made sense.
502
00:24:56,954 --> 00:24:58,850
I feel the same about Law School.
503
00:24:58,885 --> 00:25:00,040
Mm.
504
00:25:00,948 --> 00:25:02,470
Ah. That's right... you know, I...
505
00:25:02,475 --> 00:25:04,503
I keep rolling it around
in the ol' noggin.
506
00:25:04,586 --> 00:25:07,423
When I was here,
I had a sense of purpose,
507
00:25:08,615 --> 00:25:11,427
you know, a surety that the law,
and my intention
508
00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:13,721
of doing good and right as a prosecutor,
509
00:25:13,804 --> 00:25:15,222
was a kind of shield.
510
00:25:16,156 --> 00:25:17,599
And you learned the very tools
511
00:25:17,683 --> 00:25:19,549
that allowed you to ascend to the job...
512
00:25:19,584 --> 00:25:21,061
For sure.
513
00:25:21,145 --> 00:25:24,815
Oh. To fight the evil in this world.
514
00:25:24,898 --> 00:25:26,358
And if I can be a part of giving
515
00:25:26,442 --> 00:25:28,068
the next generation the weapons...
516
00:25:28,152 --> 00:25:29,970
How lucky they'll be to have you.
517
00:25:30,054 --> 00:25:31,072
Oh.
518
00:25:31,088 --> 00:25:34,241
We are thrilled that you'll
be a visiting professor.
519
00:25:34,324 --> 00:25:37,077
The Rhoades name is woven
into our tradition here...
520
00:25:41,331 --> 00:25:44,732
And as a member
521
00:25:44,767 --> 00:25:47,588
of our Facultas Legis,
522
00:25:47,671 --> 00:25:50,299
perhaps you could help
us with a small matter.
523
00:25:50,382 --> 00:25:52,509
It seems your father agreed
524
00:25:52,593 --> 00:25:55,929
to an annual donation
525
00:25:56,013 --> 00:25:57,431
of a hundred thousand dollars...
526
00:25:57,514 --> 00:26:00,517
- Uh-huh.
- ...and he's a bit in arrears.
527
00:26:02,561 --> 00:26:04,605
How many years has he missed?
528
00:26:04,688 --> 00:26:06,815
Well, all of them.
529
00:26:08,777 --> 00:26:09,958
All of them.
530
00:26:09,993 --> 00:26:11,236
Mm-hmm.
531
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,503
If you could help, that'd be great.
532
00:26:15,857 --> 00:26:19,161
Either way,
we look forward to you joining us.
533
00:26:25,209 --> 00:26:27,225
I'm here from Governor Sweeney's office
534
00:26:27,260 --> 00:26:28,712
to pick up the check.
535
00:26:28,796 --> 00:26:30,240
Which check is that?
536
00:26:30,275 --> 00:26:32,132
The one for $5 million.
537
00:26:32,216 --> 00:26:35,179
The funds from your
office's recent seizure?
538
00:26:35,184 --> 00:26:37,100
You should have called
and saved the wear and tear
539
00:26:37,101 --> 00:26:38,105
on your Florsheims then
540
00:26:38,180 --> 00:26:39,515
because the way I understand it,
541
00:26:39,598 --> 00:26:41,725
those funds are ours to
deploy as we see fit.
542
00:26:42,961 --> 00:26:47,147
No. They're at the governor's
discretion and direction.
543
00:26:47,231 --> 00:26:50,025
And he's directed me
to come and get them.
544
00:26:50,109 --> 00:26:52,486
He feels that
the Manhattan DA's office
545
00:26:52,569 --> 00:26:55,656
can put them to better use.
546
00:26:57,021 --> 00:26:59,117
Have a check cut by end of day.
547
00:27:00,994 --> 00:27:04,456
Enjoy your self-satisfied
smile while it lasts.
548
00:27:21,399 --> 00:27:23,141
I never said I wanted to divest.
549
00:27:23,225 --> 00:27:26,186
You wouldn't be here if you didn't know
it was the right thing to do.
550
00:27:26,270 --> 00:27:29,439
And that I'm the person
who knows how to do it.
551
00:27:29,523 --> 00:27:31,400
How can a man in my position
552
00:27:31,483 --> 00:27:33,861
give in to the whims of
the current student...
553
00:27:33,944 --> 00:27:35,863
Yes. You have drawn battle lines.
554
00:27:35,946 --> 00:27:37,656
And so you think of it as giving in.
555
00:27:37,739 --> 00:27:39,241
I'm not the only one.
556
00:27:39,324 --> 00:27:41,660
The chairman of my board of
trustees has a strong take...
557
00:27:41,743 --> 00:27:43,120
What's his take going to be
558
00:27:43,203 --> 00:27:44,955
if other institutions do this first?
559
00:27:45,038 --> 00:27:46,415
Well. As long as we're not last,
560
00:27:46,498 --> 00:27:48,333
I think he'll be just fine with it.
561
00:27:48,417 --> 00:27:50,043
You are too smart to think that way.
562
00:27:50,127 --> 00:27:51,628
And know your history too well.
563
00:27:51,712 --> 00:27:53,633
Wait and see results in missing out.
564
00:27:53,668 --> 00:27:55,958
Can you guarantee me that
we'll make real money
565
00:27:55,993 --> 00:27:57,342
in the process?
566
00:27:57,426 --> 00:27:59,261
You will be out of your
petroleum positions.
567
00:27:59,344 --> 00:28:01,555
You will be seen as responsive
to legitimate concerns.
568
00:28:01,638 --> 00:28:03,223
And you will be on the cutting edge
569
00:28:03,307 --> 00:28:04,433
of financial thinking.
570
00:28:04,516 --> 00:28:07,561
If that's not a win, tell me what is.
571
00:28:07,644 --> 00:28:11,565
And the entitled asshole class
known as the student body
572
00:28:11,648 --> 00:28:15,702
will think they won
and bullied me into it.
573
00:28:15,737 --> 00:28:17,654
How often does someone
give you the chance
574
00:28:17,738 --> 00:28:18,947
to do the smart thing,
575
00:28:19,031 --> 00:28:20,741
even when ego and lifelong wiring
576
00:28:20,824 --> 00:28:23,327
are trying to pull you
in a different direction?
577
00:28:23,410 --> 00:28:25,250
I understand, firsthand,
578
00:28:25,285 --> 00:28:27,541
what it is to choke down
the bile of compromise
579
00:28:27,576 --> 00:28:28,957
for the sake of the greater good.
580
00:28:29,041 --> 00:28:31,585
Yes, it feels gross
and you shudder and shake.
581
00:28:31,668 --> 00:28:34,212
But you wake up the next
day with a mind at ease.
582
00:28:34,296 --> 00:28:36,173
Because you have
protected the long term.
583
00:28:36,256 --> 00:28:38,342
Instead of indulging in
the momentary feeling
584
00:28:38,425 --> 00:28:39,801
of being strong.
585
00:28:50,812 --> 00:28:52,522
I'll take it to the trustees.
586
00:28:56,469 --> 00:28:57,486
Yeah. I'll call you soon.
587
00:28:58,498 --> 00:28:59,498
Whatever.
588
00:28:59,571 --> 00:29:02,115
Okay, so. I found out a donor
589
00:29:02,199 --> 00:29:05,827
who gave 800K to the athletic
department each year.
590
00:29:07,456 --> 00:29:08,497
He's friends with friends of ours.
591
00:29:08,580 --> 00:29:10,123
So I reached out.
592
00:29:10,207 --> 00:29:12,626
Only it ain't 800K he gives.
593
00:29:12,709 --> 00:29:13,794
It's a mil.
594
00:29:16,755 --> 00:29:19,257
There's 200K a year
going somewhere else.
595
00:29:19,341 --> 00:29:21,927
What'd you learn?
596
00:29:22,010 --> 00:29:23,512
Uh. No. That was... um...
597
00:29:25,155 --> 00:29:26,640
You ever try talking
to a 14-year-old girl
598
00:29:26,723 --> 00:29:28,308
on FaceTime?
599
00:29:28,392 --> 00:29:30,352
Goddamn,
I hope that was one of your kids.
600
00:29:30,435 --> 00:29:31,469
My youngest.
601
00:29:32,386 --> 00:29:35,023
It was rough.
602
00:29:35,107 --> 00:29:36,984
But instead of dwelling on that,
603
00:29:37,067 --> 00:29:39,403
and what it means for
who I am and have been,
604
00:29:39,486 --> 00:29:41,071
as a man, husband and father,
605
00:29:42,764 --> 00:29:44,825
I'm gonna get on figuring out
what Headmaster Kessel did
606
00:29:44,908 --> 00:29:46,618
with that missing 200k.
607
00:29:54,918 --> 00:29:56,503
This is such an honor.
608
00:29:57,463 --> 00:30:00,749
Creative people have always been
so mystifying and special to me.
609
00:30:00,784 --> 00:30:02,592
Perhaps because my mother always told me
610
00:30:02,676 --> 00:30:04,177
to keep away from them.
611
00:30:04,261 --> 00:30:05,512
Yeah, my mother used to say things.
612
00:30:06,477 --> 00:30:08,015
And working for Axe...
613
00:30:08,098 --> 00:30:10,267
the speed at which his mind operates,
614
00:30:10,350 --> 00:30:12,144
the vastness of what it can hold,
615
00:30:12,227 --> 00:30:14,646
the way he recognizes
and rewards talent...
616
00:30:14,730 --> 00:30:16,574
it can bring out the best in you.
617
00:30:16,609 --> 00:30:19,359
Things you didn't even
know you were capable of.
618
00:30:19,443 --> 00:30:22,362
Plus, the money!
619
00:30:23,546 --> 00:30:25,198
Thanks for showing me in.
620
00:30:32,227 --> 00:30:34,374
Hey, if you want to cry or something,
man, go right ahead.
621
00:30:34,458 --> 00:30:38,253
I got no judgments, nothing but love.
622
00:30:59,816 --> 00:31:01,401
Hey, Axe.
623
00:31:01,485 --> 00:31:03,487
Hey, look, man. I can't do this.
624
00:31:03,570 --> 00:31:05,113
It's not how I work.
625
00:31:05,197 --> 00:31:07,365
No, no, yeah, yeah, I understand.
626
00:31:07,449 --> 00:31:09,326
I expected this call.
627
00:31:09,409 --> 00:31:12,162
Hang in, we'll break some
bread and we'll get into it.
628
00:31:15,332 --> 00:31:16,541
Yeah, alright. Alright.
629
00:31:32,641 --> 00:31:34,420
Axe, when are you coming down?
630
00:31:34,455 --> 00:31:36,269
I'm making a great gelato.
631
00:31:36,353 --> 00:31:38,385
Soon. But in the meantime, listen,
632
00:31:38,420 --> 00:31:40,503
I'm sending someone in
to pick up a few pies.
633
00:31:40,538 --> 00:31:41,650
I'm out of town
634
00:31:41,733 --> 00:31:42,860
but I've got an important dinner.
635
00:31:42,886 --> 00:31:44,903
You know I don't do that kind of thing.
636
00:31:44,986 --> 00:31:46,154
This pizza doesn't travel.
637
00:31:46,238 --> 00:31:47,568
It's not supposed to be reheated.
638
00:31:47,603 --> 00:31:49,282
It's pizza. It's designed to travel.
639
00:31:49,366 --> 00:31:50,784
Not this pizza.
640
00:31:50,867 --> 00:31:52,702
It goes from the oven to your mouth.
641
00:31:52,786 --> 00:31:55,330
Listen. I won't hold you
responsible for the taste.
642
00:31:56,347 --> 00:31:59,126
Only for you, Axe.
643
00:32:13,352 --> 00:32:16,017
Chancellor.
Are we ready to discuss ACATing
644
00:32:16,101 --> 00:32:17,602
your accounts over?
645
00:32:17,686 --> 00:32:19,271
We are not.
646
00:32:19,354 --> 00:32:20,814
This is Admiral Bill Karras,
647
00:32:20,897 --> 00:32:22,726
chairman of the board of trustees.
648
00:32:22,761 --> 00:32:24,943
You may have hypnotized
the chancellor, here.
649
00:32:25,026 --> 00:32:27,654
But I have stood
up to much harsher methods
650
00:32:27,737 --> 00:32:29,322
of interrogation.
651
00:32:29,406 --> 00:32:31,158
I see.
652
00:32:32,784 --> 00:32:34,995
We are not going to let
any candy-ass students
653
00:32:35,078 --> 00:32:38,331
tell us how and
when to invest our endowment.
654
00:32:38,415 --> 00:32:41,381
Thank you for your
interest in our university.
655
00:32:54,764 --> 00:32:57,184
Admiral Karras. You know him?
656
00:32:58,092 --> 00:32:59,352
Wild Bill?
657
00:32:59,436 --> 00:33:02,777
Not that many four-star flag
officers walking around.
658
00:33:02,812 --> 00:33:05,192
I was never under his direct command.
659
00:33:05,275 --> 00:33:08,028
Met him at a fleet briefing
on the Saudi Peninsula.
660
00:33:08,111 --> 00:33:10,906
His men had a song about him
661
00:33:10,989 --> 00:33:15,076
and how he could power a
carrier with his temper.
662
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:16,870
- Why?
- He's holding up our endowment.
663
00:33:16,953 --> 00:33:19,080
How can you arm me to take a run at him?
664
00:33:19,789 --> 00:33:22,876
By telling you to stay
here and let me do it.
665
00:33:22,959 --> 00:33:24,502
You think I'm a candy ass?
666
00:33:24,586 --> 00:33:26,755
He thinks almost everyone
serving in the Navy
667
00:33:26,838 --> 00:33:28,131
is a candy ass.
668
00:33:28,215 --> 00:33:29,633
And he definitely thinks that
669
00:33:29,716 --> 00:33:31,885
of absolutely everyone who didn't serve.
670
00:33:32,551 --> 00:33:34,554
Then I'm going to let you take it.
671
00:33:53,281 --> 00:33:55,575
My boy, my girl...
672
00:33:55,659 --> 00:33:57,911
- Ah.
- The hearth is complete.
673
00:33:59,829 --> 00:34:01,873
Can't picture you doing that with me.
674
00:34:01,957 --> 00:34:03,583
Your lips never touched formula.
675
00:34:03,667 --> 00:34:04,960
You were at your mother's teat
676
00:34:05,043 --> 00:34:06,920
until you started reading Chaucer.
677
00:34:07,968 --> 00:34:11,132
But you get with the times,
or you grow old.
678
00:34:12,414 --> 00:34:13,468
You want to hold your sister?
679
00:34:16,346 --> 00:34:17,889
Uh, no. It's not a social call.
680
00:34:17,973 --> 00:34:19,975
Uh, I just came from old Ya-lay U.
681
00:34:20,058 --> 00:34:22,727
I'm doing a bit of
teaching this semester.
682
00:34:22,811 --> 00:34:25,772
- Back to the teat, eh?
- It'll do me good.
683
00:34:25,855 --> 00:34:28,099
And you would do me and the school well
684
00:34:28,134 --> 00:34:30,610
to follow through on your
financial commitment.
685
00:34:30,694 --> 00:34:32,686
I'm done paying for your schooling.
686
00:34:33,342 --> 00:34:35,657
Hey. You agreed to the donations,
not me.
687
00:34:35,740 --> 00:34:38,368
Son, these things are all
politics and politicking.
688
00:34:38,451 --> 00:34:40,453
When it comes to academic philanthropy,
689
00:34:40,537 --> 00:34:42,574
it's a case of fox and hound.
690
00:34:42,609 --> 00:34:43,832
And I'm the fox.
691
00:34:43,915 --> 00:34:45,750
It's not a game. You made a pledge.
692
00:34:45,834 --> 00:34:47,669
I have new priorities now.
693
00:34:48,654 --> 00:34:50,130
You certainly do.
694
00:34:51,305 --> 00:34:53,425
And Yale doesn't need your money...
695
00:34:53,508 --> 00:34:57,304
their endowment's 30 billion already.
696
00:34:57,387 --> 00:34:59,431
You're on board with this?
697
00:34:59,514 --> 00:35:01,302
Has Yale offended you?
698
00:35:01,337 --> 00:35:02,976
Something in how they've
historically dealt
699
00:35:03,059 --> 00:35:04,311
with indigenous peoples?
700
00:35:06,649 --> 00:35:09,107
No, I'm offended
701
00:35:09,190 --> 00:35:11,776
by the idea of paying
for a family legacy
702
00:35:11,860 --> 00:35:14,779
when the family doesn't
really act like a family.
703
00:35:18,700 --> 00:35:20,285
Ah.
704
00:35:25,540 --> 00:35:27,375
Uh-huh.
705
00:35:29,252 --> 00:35:32,589
The warm embrace of the
brood is indeed important.
706
00:35:32,672 --> 00:35:36,760
As strange and circuitously
linked as that brood may be.
707
00:35:39,888 --> 00:35:43,433
Perhaps I've been dilatory
in my familial duties.
708
00:35:43,516 --> 00:35:45,185
My children have not had the pleasure
709
00:35:45,268 --> 00:35:49,648
of truly welcoming the
newest members of our clan.
710
00:35:49,731 --> 00:35:52,541
It's high time I correct that oversight.
711
00:35:53,777 --> 00:35:56,655
We'd like that very much.
712
00:35:56,738 --> 00:35:58,907
I take it you'll have
no trouble navigating
713
00:35:58,990 --> 00:36:01,773
the soon-to-be-former
Mrs. Wendy Rhoades?
714
00:36:01,908 --> 00:36:02,911
Oh.
715
00:36:02,994 --> 00:36:04,704
No one's more family-first.
716
00:36:10,794 --> 00:36:12,212
We're gonna walk into his office
717
00:36:12,295 --> 00:36:14,047
and we're gonna let the Headmaster know
718
00:36:14,130 --> 00:36:17,126
what we know about him, and then you...
719
00:36:18,009 --> 00:36:20,720
...will be sleeping back in
your dorm room tonight, Gord...
720
00:36:26,142 --> 00:36:28,853
Oh. Glad I caught you.
721
00:36:28,937 --> 00:36:31,780
Just had a one-on-one with
Skinner's athletic director.
722
00:36:31,815 --> 00:36:34,025
Amiable man, after a fashion.
723
00:36:34,109 --> 00:36:36,111
He confirmed Kessel took the money?
724
00:36:36,194 --> 00:36:37,320
Yes... and no.
725
00:36:37,404 --> 00:36:39,455
Pinched it but didn't pocket it.
726
00:36:39,490 --> 00:36:41,074
Redirected it.
727
00:36:41,157 --> 00:36:42,742
He's actually working for the good.
728
00:36:43,751 --> 00:36:45,120
Like Robin of fucking Locksley?
729
00:36:45,203 --> 00:36:46,913
Much like that.
730
00:36:46,996 --> 00:36:50,041
Um, Kessel sidetracked the
excess money from wrestling
731
00:36:50,125 --> 00:36:52,585
to fund a scholarship
program for Syrian refugees
732
00:36:52,669 --> 00:36:54,838
that the school had refused to fund.
733
00:36:54,921 --> 00:36:56,798
Three of those refugees
and their families
734
00:36:56,881 --> 00:36:58,883
are on campus this year.
735
00:37:01,678 --> 00:37:03,263
I'll stand by.
736
00:37:07,684 --> 00:37:11,104
So the headmaster,
sanctimonious though he sure is,
737
00:37:11,187 --> 00:37:13,773
turns out is a good man after all.
738
00:37:15,064 --> 00:37:17,277
So, do we still have to destroy him?
739
00:37:18,310 --> 00:37:19,379
What do you think?
740
00:37:24,951 --> 00:37:26,453
Such a father.
741
00:37:27,439 --> 00:37:28,454
Hey.
742
00:37:29,390 --> 00:37:30,994
Still haven't caught
up with your eldest?
743
00:37:31,029 --> 00:37:34,085
My Georgie? No, I haven't.
744
00:37:34,169 --> 00:37:36,504
Last I heard,
he ran a legal cannabis business
745
00:37:36,588 --> 00:37:37,630
in Colorado...
746
00:37:37,714 --> 00:37:39,299
but it crossed state lines.
747
00:37:39,382 --> 00:37:42,302
Now, much like the answer,
he's blowing in the wind.
748
00:37:46,264 --> 00:37:48,850
Don't beat yourself up on this, Wags.
749
00:37:48,933 --> 00:37:50,643
Fathering ain't easy.
750
00:38:54,055 --> 00:38:55,133
Hey.
751
00:38:55,216 --> 00:38:59,379
I have what I need to
take this Headmaster out.
752
00:39:00,770 --> 00:39:02,465
Do I fix this for him?
753
00:39:02,549 --> 00:39:04,467
How do I not fuck my kid up more?
754
00:39:05,110 --> 00:39:06,110
That's the question
755
00:39:06,114 --> 00:39:09,305
every decent parent asks every day.
756
00:39:09,389 --> 00:39:13,518
Let's say you take the
laissez-faire approach,
757
00:39:13,601 --> 00:39:16,563
let the market have its way with Gordie.
758
00:39:16,646 --> 00:39:18,731
He learns there are consequences.
759
00:39:18,815 --> 00:39:21,276
Gets suspended, probably expelled.
760
00:39:21,359 --> 00:39:22,944
Ends up at a lower-tier prep school
761
00:39:23,027 --> 00:39:25,253
or New York Military Academy.
762
00:39:25,288 --> 00:39:26,906
Goes to Colby instead of Harvard.
763
00:39:26,990 --> 00:39:29,005
There's... There's no shame in that...
764
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,202
I mean, unless for the kid
765
00:39:31,286 --> 00:39:33,037
who's going mini-Winklevoss at 14...
766
00:39:33,121 --> 00:39:34,873
it's what he set his sights on.
767
00:39:34,956 --> 00:39:36,040
Then it's crushing.
768
00:39:36,124 --> 00:39:37,743
And maybe he blames
you for the consequence.
769
00:39:37,813 --> 00:39:38,920
And that chip on his shoulder
770
00:39:38,934 --> 00:39:43,590
turns into a drinking
problem by the time he's 28.
771
00:39:43,673 --> 00:39:45,341
Or he blames himself,
772
00:39:46,801 --> 00:39:48,970
accepts the consequences,
773
00:39:49,053 --> 00:39:52,891
self-worth gets
dinged up pretty good...
774
00:39:52,974 --> 00:39:57,103
And winds up with a drinking
problem by the time he's 28.
775
00:39:59,897 --> 00:40:02,066
And then there's you...
776
00:40:02,150 --> 00:40:06,821
Can you stay the course...
with whatever you decide?
777
00:40:06,905 --> 00:40:09,082
Because if you dive in
after him only sometimes,
778
00:40:09,139 --> 00:40:13,119
he won't know how or when to swim,
or breathe, or trust.
779
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,034
It's got to be tough love all the way...
780
00:40:16,069 --> 00:40:19,375
which could work out great,
he could turn out great...
781
00:40:20,641 --> 00:40:23,129
or the interventionist
approach forevermore.
782
00:40:23,212 --> 00:40:25,548
So the question is,
783
00:40:25,632 --> 00:40:28,301
do I have the stomach to let him dangle?
784
00:40:39,562 --> 00:40:42,440
If I had a hat, it would be in hand...
785
00:40:42,523 --> 00:40:45,652
Why? What do you want to discuss?
786
00:40:47,755 --> 00:40:49,697
I wish we didn't have to do this here.
787
00:40:50,497 --> 00:40:52,200
I wish you were a
completely different man.
788
00:40:56,164 --> 00:40:57,830
The financial restraining order
789
00:40:57,914 --> 00:40:59,832
blocking you from getting your apartment
790
00:40:59,916 --> 00:41:02,794
was... a bit of an overreach.
791
00:41:02,877 --> 00:41:04,712
But I was merely reacting to...
792
00:41:04,796 --> 00:41:07,340
I know... my releasing the statement.
793
00:41:07,423 --> 00:41:08,633
Which I wouldn't have done
794
00:41:08,716 --> 00:41:10,718
if you hadn't dragged
your goddamned feet.
795
00:41:10,802 --> 00:41:15,056
I was having a hard time...
accepting our status.
796
00:41:15,139 --> 00:41:16,516
But now I have.
797
00:41:16,599 --> 00:41:19,519
So perhaps a pullback
on the order is in line.
798
00:41:19,602 --> 00:41:22,855
Oh, Christ.
799
00:41:22,939 --> 00:41:24,399
You need something.
800
00:41:25,490 --> 00:41:28,361
You're not apologizing,
we're horse trading.
801
00:41:29,148 --> 00:41:30,220
Out with it.
802
00:41:30,238 --> 00:41:33,449
That's hardly the way
I would characterize this.
803
00:41:34,333 --> 00:41:36,494
Fine.
804
00:41:36,577 --> 00:41:38,538
The kids should know
805
00:41:38,621 --> 00:41:41,831
that family is still
important at a time like this.
806
00:41:41,866 --> 00:41:42,917
All family.
807
00:41:44,109 --> 00:41:46,713
Even new family.
808
00:41:46,796 --> 00:41:49,021
I want to formally
introduce Kevin and Eva
809
00:41:49,056 --> 00:41:50,993
to Roxanne and Willow.
810
00:41:53,195 --> 00:41:54,887
Come on.
811
00:41:54,971 --> 00:41:57,098
You got to be kidding me.
812
00:41:57,181 --> 00:41:59,308
Was this your whacked-out father's idea?
813
00:42:00,329 --> 00:42:01,728
Wendy.
814
00:42:01,811 --> 00:42:04,105
He is a changed individual.
815
00:42:04,188 --> 00:42:06,149
You don't even believe that.
816
00:42:06,232 --> 00:42:08,735
You'd be surprised at my
current suite of beliefs.
817
00:42:08,818 --> 00:42:11,904
One of them being that there's
value in the sanctity of family.
818
00:42:11,988 --> 00:42:13,156
Mm. Sometimes.
819
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:15,089
I'll lower my guns.
820
00:42:15,124 --> 00:42:18,036
Have the ATRO lifted.
821
00:42:18,119 --> 00:42:22,081
You want to buy an apartment... done.
822
00:42:23,196 --> 00:42:24,731
What would be expected?
823
00:42:26,794 --> 00:42:30,882
Just that the kids get to
know their new relatives...
824
00:42:30,965 --> 00:42:34,260
Oh, and, uh,
825
00:42:34,343 --> 00:42:36,304
that you be there too.
826
00:42:58,826 --> 00:43:00,745
Where are we at? I've been texting.
827
00:43:00,828 --> 00:43:03,122
Oh. It's off.
828
00:43:03,206 --> 00:43:04,957
My phone. I-I turned it.
829
00:43:05,980 --> 00:43:07,835
Are you... drunk?
830
00:43:08,531 --> 00:43:10,379
- I was...
- I can smell it.
831
00:43:10,463 --> 00:43:12,140
What do retired admirals drink?
832
00:43:12,175 --> 00:43:14,307
Anything they want, and a lot of it.
833
00:43:14,342 --> 00:43:16,177
Did you get into divestment?
834
00:43:16,260 --> 00:43:17,845
Yeah. It's done.
835
00:43:17,929 --> 00:43:19,472
It is? He agreed?
836
00:43:19,555 --> 00:43:20,890
- He did...
- But how?
837
00:43:20,973 --> 00:43:23,309
Because this candy ass's specialty
838
00:43:23,392 --> 00:43:26,059
is making admirals
crumble like rock candy.
839
00:43:27,563 --> 00:43:30,428
But an idea occurred on the way over.
840
00:43:30,463 --> 00:43:32,460
Everything that they're giving up.
841
00:43:32,495 --> 00:43:33,653
We can take the same position
842
00:43:33,736 --> 00:43:36,155
that we are unrolling
the endowment from...
843
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:37,865
get the oil companies to make a deal
844
00:43:37,949 --> 00:43:39,700
to stave off the publicity bloodletting
845
00:43:39,784 --> 00:43:41,369
that will come from the divestment.
846
00:43:41,385 --> 00:43:44,831
And we can do it without
implicating the University.
847
00:43:44,914 --> 00:43:47,542
We just have to run the
trade through the main house.
848
00:43:47,625 --> 00:43:50,503
It goes against the spirit
of the entire thing.
849
00:43:50,586 --> 00:43:52,755
By the rules of
engagement in our business
850
00:43:52,839 --> 00:43:53,840
it's the right move.
851
00:43:53,923 --> 00:43:55,550
It's a no. It's not who we are.
852
00:43:55,633 --> 00:43:56,843
Or who I want to be.
853
00:44:12,774 --> 00:44:14,569
You know that line from Hamilton...
854
00:44:14,652 --> 00:44:15,987
You know I know 'em all...
855
00:44:16,070 --> 00:44:17,864
"He takes and he takes and he takes."
856
00:44:17,947 --> 00:44:19,198
It's about Alexander.
857
00:44:19,282 --> 00:44:22,118
But it might as well
be about our governor.
858
00:44:22,201 --> 00:44:23,786
Oh no.
859
00:44:23,870 --> 00:44:26,038
- The money?
- Yeah.
860
00:44:26,917 --> 00:44:28,569
Best practices for years have been
861
00:44:28,604 --> 00:44:30,084
that the AG gets to
use settlement money.
862
00:44:30,168 --> 00:44:32,795
But the governor is claiming
the funds I've gathered.
863
00:44:33,686 --> 00:44:35,631
So I'm to what, uh,
864
00:44:35,715 --> 00:44:39,552
propose a duel at dawn
across the river in Jersey?
865
00:44:39,635 --> 00:44:41,637
- Can you?
- Would that I could.
866
00:44:41,721 --> 00:44:43,264
Is there a workaround?
867
00:44:44,749 --> 00:44:47,268
I drilled down.
868
00:44:47,351 --> 00:44:51,230
Before the funds land with us,
and so can be taken from us,
869
00:44:51,314 --> 00:44:52,648
we can designate them.
870
00:44:52,732 --> 00:44:54,025
But I want 'em!
871
00:44:54,108 --> 00:44:57,153
We can designate
them to a public good.
872
00:44:57,236 --> 00:45:00,573
Like a law school clinic,
earmarked to do certain work,
873
00:45:00,656 --> 00:45:04,577
run by a certain person.
874
00:45:07,330 --> 00:45:10,082
Yale Law.
875
00:45:10,166 --> 00:45:11,250
I get to go home again.
876
00:45:11,334 --> 00:45:12,877
And make it work for us.
877
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:15,171
You do.
878
00:45:17,382 --> 00:45:18,883
Nice job, Sacker.
879
00:45:18,966 --> 00:45:21,510
When I cut a joint, ya know?
880
00:45:21,594 --> 00:45:23,638
Ohh. I do.
881
00:45:34,357 --> 00:45:37,109
Sir? Excuse me!
882
00:45:37,193 --> 00:45:39,904
We know you've been siphoning
from athletic donations
883
00:45:39,987 --> 00:45:42,323
to give scholarships to Syrian refugees.
884
00:45:42,406 --> 00:45:44,050
Your board's not gonna like that...
885
00:45:44,126 --> 00:45:47,078
Yeah. And I'm certain the
authorities won't either.
886
00:45:47,161 --> 00:45:49,288
Is this your plan? To blackmail me?
887
00:45:49,372 --> 00:45:52,208
Blackmail? Nah. The word is expose.
888
00:45:52,291 --> 00:45:53,793
Expose what?
889
00:45:53,876 --> 00:45:56,003
I'm helping smart kids
and their families...
890
00:45:56,087 --> 00:45:57,296
people with next to nothing...
891
00:45:57,380 --> 00:45:58,965
make it in this world.
892
00:45:59,048 --> 00:46:01,259
And I think you'll find
a school community here
893
00:46:01,342 --> 00:46:02,635
that supports that.
894
00:46:02,718 --> 00:46:04,345
Mm. Sounds noble, but will they, really?
895
00:46:06,510 --> 00:46:07,723
You clearly underestimate
896
00:46:07,807 --> 00:46:09,760
the empathy of the Skinner family.
897
00:46:09,795 --> 00:46:13,980
These are your so-called
"scholarship recipients..."
898
00:46:21,988 --> 00:46:24,948
But what it really looks
like is cheap labor.
899
00:46:24,983 --> 00:46:26,826
Yeah. They...
They have no accommodations
900
00:46:26,909 --> 00:46:29,595
when they get here, so I take them in.
901
00:46:30,933 --> 00:46:33,165
They help around the house. That's it.
902
00:46:33,249 --> 00:46:37,169
Unpaid illegal immigrants
living in your house.
903
00:46:37,253 --> 00:46:39,213
That's not a very good look, Headmaster.
904
00:46:40,401 --> 00:46:41,674
Well, I don't care what it looks like.
905
00:46:41,757 --> 00:46:43,259
I'm helping these people.
906
00:46:43,342 --> 00:46:44,969
Well, it looks like 'these people'
907
00:46:45,052 --> 00:46:46,512
are working for you.
908
00:46:46,595 --> 00:46:48,039
And they aren't getting paid for it,
are they?
909
00:46:48,108 --> 00:46:52,393
- Don't they call that white slavery?
- I think they just call it slavery...
910
00:46:52,476 --> 00:46:55,354
This isn't right.
911
00:46:55,438 --> 00:46:57,857
Are you really going to destroy me...
912
00:46:57,940 --> 00:46:59,942
tarnish this historic institution
913
00:47:00,026 --> 00:47:02,147
that's helped thousands
of young men and women
914
00:47:02,182 --> 00:47:03,810
and those poor refugees...
915
00:47:03,845 --> 00:47:05,323
to keep your son from being expelled?
916
00:47:05,406 --> 00:47:07,264
Bet your ass I am.
917
00:47:07,299 --> 00:47:08,542
In fact I have.
918
00:47:08,577 --> 00:47:11,077
- Isn't that what I just did, Wags?
- Yeah. I saw you do it.
919
00:47:11,112 --> 00:47:13,039
- Like three seconds ago.
- Hmm.
920
00:47:13,122 --> 00:47:16,486
So. You are going to clear my son,
Gordie, of any wrongdoing.
921
00:47:16,521 --> 00:47:18,311
But that's not it. Oh.
We're not finished.
922
00:47:18,392 --> 00:47:20,379
Not by a long shot.
923
00:47:20,463 --> 00:47:22,673
'Cause you embarrassed him...
dragged him in here,
924
00:47:22,757 --> 00:47:25,193
held him out in front of the
school like a common criminal.
925
00:47:25,249 --> 00:47:27,053
You dinged his reputation.
926
00:47:27,136 --> 00:47:32,975
So now you are going to give
me the chance to fix that, too.
927
00:47:44,787 --> 00:47:46,947
Your headmaster was kind
enough to cede me the mic
928
00:47:47,031 --> 00:47:48,082
for this morning's lesson,
929
00:47:49,255 --> 00:47:50,493
and I'm here to give you a little bit
930
00:47:50,576 --> 00:47:53,555
about what this school has
been holding back from you...
931
00:47:54,424 --> 00:47:58,376
the goddamn truth about Darwin, scarcity
932
00:47:58,459 --> 00:48:01,462
and the world you actually live in.
933
00:48:01,545 --> 00:48:03,964
It's not the warm, swaddled place
934
00:48:04,048 --> 00:48:06,759
your Headmaster and your
parents have told you about.
935
00:48:06,842 --> 00:48:09,553
It's populated by people like me
936
00:48:09,637 --> 00:48:14,058
who will TEAR YOU APART.
937
00:48:14,141 --> 00:48:16,602
Nature didn't select me.
938
00:48:16,685 --> 00:48:20,523
I selected myself by
harnessing my nature.
939
00:48:23,317 --> 00:48:26,904
My son wasn't pulling a prank.
940
00:48:28,322 --> 00:48:31,158
He was trying to earn.
941
00:48:31,242 --> 00:48:33,244
And if he broke the school's code,
942
00:48:33,327 --> 00:48:35,287
it's because the code is wrong.
943
00:48:35,371 --> 00:48:36,831
Asked him to go against the DNA
944
00:48:36,914 --> 00:48:39,291
which is telling each
of you to be greedy,
945
00:48:39,375 --> 00:48:41,085
yes, be hungry.
946
00:48:41,168 --> 00:48:43,245
Subjugate and conquer.
947
00:48:44,490 --> 00:48:47,633
'Cause that's who we are.
948
00:48:47,716 --> 00:48:50,928
That's what we are.
949
00:48:51,011 --> 00:48:53,681
Capitalism harnesses that
950
00:48:53,764 --> 00:48:56,823
better than any other
economic model on Earth.
951
00:48:56,858 --> 00:49:00,479
Everything we have is
because of capitalism.
952
00:49:00,563 --> 00:49:04,483
'Cause someone had an incentive
to get up off his ass,
953
00:49:04,567 --> 00:49:07,274
to out-invent, to out-earn, yes,
954
00:49:07,601 --> 00:49:09,864
and to subjugate others
955
00:49:09,947 --> 00:49:12,825
less capable, less intelligent,
956
00:49:12,908 --> 00:49:15,870
less ambitious, less lucky...
957
00:49:15,953 --> 00:49:19,957
to make those capitalistic
dreams come true.
958
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:23,127
And you know what I'm talking about,
Headmaster Kessel.
959
00:49:24,628 --> 00:49:27,131
It's the dirty secret
you may not want to hear...
960
00:49:27,214 --> 00:49:29,836
but you fucking love the result.
961
00:49:30,885 --> 00:49:33,596
As will you soon enough.
962
00:50:16,015 --> 00:50:17,106
Courtesy knock!
963
00:50:17,967 --> 00:50:18,991
Let's get this over with.
964
00:50:21,674 --> 00:50:24,021
The generations.
965
00:50:24,104 --> 00:50:27,361
All under one roof. At last.
966
00:50:33,823 --> 00:50:34,823
Alrighty.
967
00:50:34,907 --> 00:50:39,328
Kids this is your new...
968
00:50:39,411 --> 00:50:42,581
uh, my sister.
969
00:50:42,665 --> 00:50:44,604
Your aunt.
970
00:50:46,732 --> 00:50:50,214
She's so small, how can she be my aunt?
971
00:50:50,297 --> 00:50:51,390
Well.
972
00:50:51,473 --> 00:50:53,801
The world can be a funny place, sweetie.
973
00:50:53,836 --> 00:50:55,678
- It can...
- The world is
974
00:50:55,761 --> 00:50:57,811
whatever the hell you make it.
975
00:51:00,015 --> 00:51:01,767
Say hi. Hi.
976
00:51:03,143 --> 00:51:04,770
She's adorable...
977
00:51:10,004 --> 00:51:11,277
You want your papa?
978
00:51:17,915 --> 00:51:20,619
- Check is in the mail, Sonny.
- Mm.
979
00:51:20,703 --> 00:51:23,789
Check is in the mail.
980
00:51:26,875 --> 00:51:28,460
Say hi. Hi.
981
00:51:34,582 --> 00:51:36,427
Sir. Thank you.
982
00:51:36,510 --> 00:51:38,531
- My pleasure.
- Wags, great.
983
00:51:38,566 --> 00:51:39,888
Thanks, gentlemen.
I'll show you downstairs.
984
00:51:39,972 --> 00:51:41,265
Please.
985
00:51:47,902 --> 00:51:48,909
Was that...?
986
00:51:48,934 --> 00:51:51,317
Dell Lambert from Argyra Petroleum...
987
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:52,998
Indeed it was.
988
00:51:53,033 --> 00:51:54,033
- And...
- Yep,
989
00:51:54,038 --> 00:51:56,238
Cliff Slade from Charter Offshore Oil.
990
00:51:56,322 --> 00:51:57,781
We just assumed big positions
991
00:51:57,865 --> 00:51:59,728
and gave them a nice
haircut while doing it.
992
00:51:59,763 --> 00:52:02,781
- Baller move.
- A kick-save and a beaut'...
993
00:52:14,757 --> 00:52:17,009
- You know who that is?
- Yes. I do.
994
00:52:17,092 --> 00:52:18,344
Who were they?
995
00:52:18,427 --> 00:52:19,678
Opportunity.
996
00:52:19,762 --> 00:52:21,764
The CEOs of the fucking oil companies
997
00:52:21,847 --> 00:52:24,099
we just divested
Lawrenceburg's endowment from.
998
00:52:24,183 --> 00:52:25,684
Axe took on the positions?
999
00:52:25,768 --> 00:52:27,186
Mm. With a back deal
1000
00:52:27,269 --> 00:52:29,146
that will pay off handsomely, no doubt.
1001
00:52:29,229 --> 00:52:30,522
Sick score...
1002
00:52:32,399 --> 00:52:34,526
No one in here seems happy.
1003
00:52:34,610 --> 00:52:36,330
How come no one's happy?
1004
00:52:38,322 --> 00:52:39,823
I know it was your idea.
1005
00:52:39,907 --> 00:52:42,159
But I know you didn't take it to him.
1006
00:52:43,911 --> 00:52:45,860
Don't worry, I'm not firing you...
1007
00:52:45,895 --> 00:52:48,188
- Fire me? I quit.
- Sara...
1008
00:52:48,223 --> 00:52:49,875
That should have been our
score and you know it.
1009
00:52:49,958 --> 00:52:52,544
But it's... not the right play.
1010
00:52:53,289 --> 00:52:54,802
Not right?
1011
00:52:54,837 --> 00:52:58,300
We're at work,
not a fucking climate rally.
1012
00:52:58,384 --> 00:53:00,302
You are only halfway in on this.
1013
00:53:00,386 --> 00:53:02,221
And you know where that leaves you?
1014
00:53:02,304 --> 00:53:03,514
Vietnam.
1015
00:53:10,396 --> 00:53:13,107
George Wagner. My son.
1016
00:53:13,190 --> 00:53:15,526
The first and proudest
issue of my loins...
1017
00:53:15,609 --> 00:53:18,487
is on his way up.
I hope he'll be working here soon.
1018
00:53:18,570 --> 00:53:21,073
Treat him like everyone else...
but not really.
1019
00:53:24,326 --> 00:53:26,370
Georgie boy!
1020
00:53:27,996 --> 00:53:29,248
Hello, Dad.
1021
00:53:29,331 --> 00:53:31,125
It's good to see you.
1022
00:53:32,457 --> 00:53:35,587
Can't wait to tell you the news...
1023
00:53:35,671 --> 00:53:37,005
the Good News.
1024
00:53:38,465 --> 00:53:39,591
What is this?
1025
00:53:42,511 --> 00:53:43,562
It's everything.
1026
00:53:44,157 --> 00:53:45,931
It's the whole world. Beyond.
1027
00:53:46,014 --> 00:53:47,933
Dad, I've made my personal relationship
1028
00:53:48,016 --> 00:53:49,268
with Jesus Christ.
1029
00:53:49,351 --> 00:53:51,979
And I'm here to share Him with you.
1030
00:54:10,305 --> 00:54:11,398
So...
1031
00:54:12,079 --> 00:54:13,542
I don't want the gig.
1032
00:54:13,625 --> 00:54:15,210
Like I told your guy there...
1033
00:54:15,294 --> 00:54:18,130
He said to wait and tell you.
1034
00:54:18,213 --> 00:54:19,757
It's not about my work, man.
1035
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:22,092
It's about you and Prince.
1036
00:54:22,176 --> 00:54:24,470
I don't need to be part
of some pissing contest.
1037
00:54:24,553 --> 00:54:26,819
There's always a fight
over something of value.
1038
00:54:27,462 --> 00:54:28,807
Look, you think I really don't know
1039
00:54:28,891 --> 00:54:30,768
what makes your stuff so good?
1040
00:54:30,851 --> 00:54:33,208
No, I-I heard what you said.
1041
00:54:33,243 --> 00:54:36,148
And you wanted it before
Prince even got there, so...
1042
00:54:37,229 --> 00:54:38,734
But I never painted on commission before
1043
00:54:38,817 --> 00:54:40,778
and I don't plan on starting now.
1044
00:54:40,861 --> 00:54:42,748
Maybe that works with your stock boys.
1045
00:54:44,064 --> 00:54:45,123
But I'm a painter.
1046
00:54:46,129 --> 00:54:49,149
I have stock guys. I want Michelangelo.
1047
00:54:49,184 --> 00:54:50,496
Who painted on commission,
by the way.
1048
00:54:50,579 --> 00:54:52,164
Yeah. I know. The Medicis.
1049
00:54:52,247 --> 00:54:55,156
Do we like the Sistine Chapel any less
1050
00:54:55,191 --> 00:54:56,668
because they paid him to paint it?
1051
00:54:56,752 --> 00:54:58,545
No. And Mozart?
1052
00:54:59,737 --> 00:55:02,424
Did his best work for bags of gold.
1053
00:55:02,508 --> 00:55:06,011
Mozart died penniless, at his piano.
1054
00:55:06,094 --> 00:55:10,641
Okay. First he enjoyed
some Nipples of Venus.
1055
00:55:10,724 --> 00:55:14,144
And we're still talking
about him 250 years later.
1056
00:55:16,271 --> 00:55:18,941
I'm not asking for your soul.
1057
00:55:19,024 --> 00:55:20,526
Just your next eight paintings.
1058
00:55:28,992 --> 00:55:31,870
You know, the place does get
good light during the day.
1059
00:55:31,954 --> 00:55:34,248
Sure does.
1060
00:55:35,361 --> 00:55:38,168
Come on, let's sit. Keep talking.
1061
00:55:42,792 --> 00:55:44,998
Anthony said
to tell you he's sorry...
1062
00:55:45,033 --> 00:55:46,343
It's not going to be
like in the restaurant...
1063
00:55:46,426 --> 00:55:48,304
Yeah, the purist made it clear.
1064
00:55:48,339 --> 00:55:52,085
But honestly,
it looks pretty damn solid.
1065
00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:53,433
Yeah. Sure does.
1066
00:55:53,517 --> 00:55:56,103
- Thanks, Chef Ryan.
- You bet.
1067
00:55:56,186 --> 00:55:58,689
So, Anthony, my new pizza guy,
1068
00:55:58,772 --> 00:56:00,732
he's a lot like you... a true artist.
1069
00:56:00,816 --> 00:56:03,735
All the talent in the world,
but still he isn't sure.
1070
00:56:03,819 --> 00:56:06,955
He's afraid of coming up short,
because he knows perfection.
1071
00:56:06,990 --> 00:56:09,491
But, if you stick around,
what you'll see is:
1072
00:56:09,526 --> 00:56:11,076
I know greatness.
1073
00:56:11,159 --> 00:56:12,619
And that's what this is.
1074
00:56:12,703 --> 00:56:14,496
Take a bite. Tell me I'm wrong.
1075
00:56:20,961 --> 00:56:23,380
Mmm.
1076
00:56:23,463 --> 00:56:25,507
Mmm. Wow.
1077
00:56:25,591 --> 00:56:27,968
Fuck.
1078
00:56:28,051 --> 00:56:29,303
That's amazing.
1079
00:56:29,386 --> 00:56:30,929
You are not wrong.
1080
00:56:31,013 --> 00:56:33,181
That's what you'll
learn rolling with me.
1081
00:56:33,265 --> 00:56:34,635
I'm never wrong...
1082
00:56:34,670 --> 00:56:36,310
Almost never...
1083
00:56:36,393 --> 00:56:37,561
Really never.
1084
00:56:39,263 --> 00:56:40,439
Dig in.
1085
00:56:40,522 --> 00:56:42,024
To all of it.
1086
00:56:43,506 --> 00:56:44,610
You're with me now.
1087
