[gentle music]

[TV news anchor] Good morning.
Expect airfares to
gain altitude

as crude oil prices rise.

Analysts tell carriers
like Delta and American

may be poised to
boost ticket prices

while an analyst from
JP Morgan Chase says

every sustained five dollar
increase on the price of crude

translates to round trip
fares rising seven bucks.

And, you know, nearly a
third of Carrier's budgets

go towards fuel cost alone.

But meanwhile,
American Airlines pulling
its listings

from the travel website
prevents the carrier trying to

steer more bookings to
its own website, AA.com.

The move is a big
precedent for the industry

and phone bills
will also go up.

Yesterday, the FCC
approved regulations

letting Telecom
service providers...

[tense music]

[train rumbles]

[tense music]

Oh, all right, sir.

I don't know.

[speaks in foreign language]

Your hands, they're dry.

Yeah.

Thanks.

Still not sleeping?

Thank you for
the taste of home.

[phone rings]

[tense music]

Cole.

Hey, Seyi, what's up?

About that filing deadline.

Well, we missed the deadline.

Last I checked, you can't
exactly unscrew the pooch.

If you allocated
to one of--

Hey, Seyi, it
really is fucked.

Listen, if we allocate it to one
of our foreign subsidiaries,

move the settlement date,

repatriate the securities later,

get them in by year end,
it'd be like--

Like it never happened?

It could work.

Let me look into it.

And then, get this.

You repatriate the securities,

you do that before
the year is up and

it's like it never happened.

The answer is no.

Yo, Seyi, Big Al
is taking flight.

I need you on my wing,
man, Saturday night.

Fly solo.

Josie McGowan's
gonna be there.

You know she's
toying with you, Alex.

Yeah, maybe, so what's
got you so wound up?

This Cole fucking Whitman.

Him again?

Shit's not about you.

You do know that, right?

Right.

Seyi, if I saw something,
I'd say, I got your back.

Look, the problem is not
what you think, okay?

Problem is, Cole Whitman is
a pilfering fucking dick.

Dude, these ladies
ain't out of our reach.

If you wanna get the
girls in the bed sheets,

you gotta lay off
the spread sheets.

Seyi Ogunde, you're
the man, okay?

So, pretty please, this
weekend, let's roll out,

like, Optimus fucking Prime.

Autobots, roll out.

That's a yes?

That's a yes.

[slow hip-hop music]

[grunts]

[woman on TV] We asked you
to send us your garlic recipes

and you sure did.

We handed them over
to a garlic farmer...

Funmi, your forehead
is beautiful today.

You're adopted, Seyi.

I found your sorry ass covered
in shit on the GW Bridge.

Wow.

[speaks in foreign language]

Did you cook something?

Did you
cook something?

Why don't you
ever ask Seyi that?

Because everyone knows
my cooking tells me

I'm an excellent banker.

Funmi, the boy I was
caring for last night

did not sleep, please, not now.

There's eba and
egusi in the fridge.

But seriously, Mom,
he went to Harvard,

he can learn how to cook.

It's the 21st century in
Nigeria, too, you know.

We shouldn't have
to do everything.

[speaks in foreign language]

-Come on.
-I'm over all this.

Yappity-yap-yap.

Did you hear him calling you?

Shut up.

Okay, I don't
even wanna know.

Dad's in his room
calling you.

Oh, God, something
huge came up.

Seyi, he's your
dad, too, you know.

Oh, and I thought I'm
spending the little money I have

on meds and therapy
for someone else's dad.

I actually believe that.

Seriously, Seyi.

I don't think you understand

how hard this stroke
has made things.

Mom and I need you.

And dad needs us if
he's gonna get well

and travel to Nigeria,
so stop being selfish.

Hello?

I'm coming.

[groans]

Stay still.

Seyi, I want
to go home.

Soon.

How soon?

Soon as your doctor says
you can go to Nigeria.

I guarantee, they'll
put you on a plane.

You put me on a plane.

My own son would not
travel home with me.

You're good.

[dance music]

Oh, oh, Seyi.

Yeah. Hi.

-Oh, hi.
-Hey.

-Hey.
-You look great. Josie, Seyi.

-Hi. Nice to meet you.
-Hey, how are you?

-This is my friend, Liz.
-Hey.

-Hey.
-Hi.

-[Josie] Liz this is Alex.
-Hey.

-Oh, hey.
Hi, nice to meet you.
-Hi, Alex.

-So, what's up?
-What's going on, Seyi?

I'm not rolling all the
way to some fucking 58

for some dude named Sven to
slam a door in my face though.

Excuse me.

I'm Lowell, hi.

Seyi, how are you?

-Rawle.
-Hey.

You look like a guy
who knows what's up.

Would you tell him that Lavo's
the place to be tonight?

Oh, man, yeah.

I go every now and
then, always dope.

You guys should
roll on over.

Well, every now and again.

Shit, who's your
man at the door?

I wouldn't call him
my man, it's, you know,

we're not exactly
tight like that.

What's his name though?

Can he get people in tonight?

Uh, I'm blanking
on his name.

It's okay.
Thanks, man.

Sorry, guys.
Bathroom this way?

Yeah.

Ogunde.

Hey, Justin Gonzalez.

Whoa, looking svelte, man.
Did you lose weight?

A little.
How are you living?

Um, let's get a drink
in that hand first, huh?

Come on.

-Salute.
-Salute.

Really though, how
do you keep in shape?

[speaks Spanish]

[snorts intensely]

Fuck,
your goody two shoes.

Jim Radass, man.

Dude, how's life
treating you on the street?

-Life?
-Mm-hm.

What life?

But seriously, you got
no big deals going down?

Well, you got a
one-track mind, Ogunde.

And it's on the
wrong fucking track.

All right, I'll
tell you something,

but then, can we
change the subject?

I'm closing one now.

Big fucking deal.

LKN.

They're gonna buy
a tool company

and we managed to get
private, serious upside value.

Family managed?

You know I can't
name names.

My advice, they go in at
higher than standard premium.

Shit is gonna explode.

Ka-ching!

Yours truly
is responsible.

Hey.

Now, on to real
fucking business.

Mamacita'sbeen
eyeing me over there.

You sure it's
not the stink eye?

I thought you said
you had a girlfriend.

No, I said I had a
girl and she's my friend.

It was good seeing you.

Stay in touch.

Looking for something?

I just dropped
an earring.

It's totally under control.

I don't mind helping.

I said I got it.

Ow!

You're very hard-headed.

I'd say the same for you.

I said it was under control.

I'm sorry, I just
thought I'd help.

Um, wait, wait.
Um, sorry,

it looks like this.

So, you and Alex,
you work together?

Yeah, we're together.

I mean,
we work together.

What do you do?

I just finished two years
in Cameroon, Peace Corps.

Starting med school
at Columbia.

Cameroon?

[both speak French]

Even picked up a little
West African pidgin.

You're shitting on me.

Oh, God.

I'm on a fucking
roll tonight.

It's okay, I don't mind.

Ah!

Not so fast.

A fee.

Let me hear some
of this so-called

African pidgin
of yours first.

Extortion.

And you seem
like a nice guy.

I'm very crafty like that.

There, oh, there they are.

Yo, next up, Hookah Bar.

You tried white gummy bear?

Promised myself
an early start.

Oh, come on, man.

Liz, you're coming, right?

Thank you.

Nice to meet you.

[thoughtful music]

Hey, Mom.

Funmi says you need something.

[Ife] Just checking
about that $400

for your daddy's Lipitor and
Glucophage, it hasn't arrived.

I can send it next week.

[Ife] How are you?

Very busy.

[Ife] Okay.

But remember,
you put it in God's hands

and you will be the greatest.

Seyi, say it back to me.

I'll be the greatest.

[Ife] Good, I need
to get back to work.

Bye.

[tense music]

[chuckles] He preached enough
for 10 sermons today.

I was waiting for
Jesus to come himself

and say Lent is over now.

Shut your mouth so I can die.

See how helpful you are
when you are with us?

What?

We both know what, Ma.

I told you I can't do my job
and live in Hackensack.

I was only saying it is
nice when you are with us.

You thought about
what I said?

Yes.

I even spoke
to Father Emmanuel.

-The answer is no.
-He--

Dad cannot just
get away with this.

You spoke about
divorce before.

You'd actually throw
your father in the street?

[exclaims happily]

[mambo music]

[line rings]

[Liz] Hey there.

How are you?

[Seyi] Not bad.

Just sitting around.

Hoping maybe I hear
that pidgin of yours.

[Liz laughs]

Maybe someday
if you're lucky.

[Seyi] How about this Friday?

I don't know, something,
grab some dinner.

[Liz] Um, believe it or not,
I got study group.

Saturday and it's a deal?

[Seyi] It was about
valuing all people.

Now liberals care more
about macrobiotic dining

and feeling better than others,
people our age,
we epitomize this.

Seyi, you're in finance.

I'm as guilty as anyone.

Self-hate and guilt,
you are a Catholic.

Okay.

Uh, can you take that back

and bring me the
Barbaresco, please?

[waiter] And for you, miss?

That's fine for me.

-The point is--
-Mmm! There's a point.

We're all guilty and that
includes our former president.

And my point is that he
didn't just give up his beliefs,

what he faced
was unprecedented.

Bad, yeah.
Unprecedented?

Name the last president
who faced out-and-out racism?

Well, maybe we
should walk this back.

Maybe we should
walk it forward.

We can talk like
two adults here.

Okay.

I don't accept
what you just said.

What don't you accept?

That he's done something
no one has done before?

I agree with that.

That he worked in a
place where pretty much

no one looks like him
or has ever taken orders

from a person who
looks like him?

Then, what don't you accept?

That he can do better.

That's how he got to where
he is in the first place,

being better at school, better
marriage, better looking.

It's the presidency.

He should have
known better than

expect anything less
than what he's faced.

He had to exceed
expectations.

It's the only way
forward.

And what if
that's not enough?

I grew up in Texas
outside of Houston.

I'm sorry
about that, Liz.

I had well-meaning
parents who told me...

They once said out
of love and concern

that I should watch myself
around groups of black people.

When I got to
Columbia for college,

I found myself in a subway
car, everyone else was black,

and I had a mini panic
attack, I was scared.

I'd never been
in a situation

or a place where I was
the only person like me.

I'm not saying it's
like that for Obama.

I'm just asking how being
better... can remove that.

That fear, the thing
that you don't know.

Um...

thank you...

for being open enough
to share that.

I really appreciate that.

But, you know,
you're right.

It's probably not
the same for Obama.

For one, I don't think he
rides the subway anymore.

Thank you.

So, you said your mom
works at a hospital.

Is she a doctor?

-Yeah.
-Your dad?

I mean, he got
private practice,

you know,
in the Short Hills.

Two doctors, I'd
have guessed lawyers.

You're very precise,
verbally.

I'll take precise.

Let's move on to a toast.

To you Liz, saving
the world in medicine.

Me wrecking it
in finance.

-[car horn honks]
-[Liz] Almost here.

Cailin.

Liz?! Oh, my gosh!

You're back, how are you?

I'm good, how are you?

I'm good.

Oh, this is Seyi.
Sorry.

This is my friend,
Seyi.

How are you?

Hi, nice to meet you.

And so, how's Greg?

Oh, he's good.
Really good, actually. Yeah.

Well, I have to get going,

but we have a lot of
catching up to do.

Yes, yes.

Okay, bye.

It's good to see you.

Oh, it's good to see you.

-He's cute.
-Have fun.

Cailin and I
graduated the same year

from Columbia undergrad.

And who's Greg?

He's my boyfriend.

It's long distance,
but at least we're

actually on the same
continent now.

-[phone jingles]
-[sighs] Uh...

Are we splitting it?

I think I'm gonna
hop to the subway.

Okay.

Hang again soon?

Of course.

It was a nice night.

[tense music]

What are you... Wait,
how are you even here?

By bus.

Does Mom know where you are?

Actually, I'm here to talk
to you about your mother.

Now?

[scoffs] You're here now ready
to talk about Mom?

Yes, I want to travel
to Nigeria as a family.

You are not being fair.

This has been
very hard on her.

And you still haven't
given the money

you say you
were going to give.

This must be
some kind of joke.

Who are you to say that anyone
has failed their duties?

You failed.

You're the disappointment,
it's you.

You sat on your high horse
and you lived a lie.

Because of that, you brought
a sickness into our family,

into our family.

You've ruined us.

Are you fucking
listening to me?

You call me sick?

You talk to me
like I am nothing.

You think you're
better than me

because you grew up
here in America?

Answer me.

Look at me in the face
and tell me.

You're such a
fucking embarrassment.

[phone rings]

It's Mom.

[panting]

Hey, Mom.

He's here actually.

He's fine.

He just showed up.

Oh, we're just having
a conversation.

I know he gets
cold easily, Mom.

I'll make sure he
keeps his jacket on.

Mom, he's not gonna
get pneumonia again.

I'll bring him back.

Okay, bye.

Let's go.

[tense music]

[ticking sounds]

[Seyi] I'm trying to
figure out what is this.

Yo bro,
how are you living?

Chill weekend.

Got to meet
a very fine bird.

You fucked a bird?

Okay, not only does that
sound difficult and painful,

but also, I think your
mother would be, like,

kind of disappointed
in you, wouldn't she?

Jesus Christ.
This is fucking excellent.

Yeah, I swear
he's always high.

Guy is like a
fucking asshole savant.

[phone vibrates]

I got to take this.

No worries.

Hey, Mom.

I'm in the middle of something.

[Ife] When are you not?

Where is the money for
your daddy's Lipitor?

Something came up,
I had to use it.

Seyi, we have
talked about this.

Hey, check out DealBook, now.

Oh, Jesus. Layoffs have already
started on our floor.

Better bust out
the A-game or we're next.

I was actually
just headed your way,

I need some help.

You still got
that pal at LKN?

Well...

I assume that's a yes.

Can you get me info on a
company GeoPak, pak with a K?

-What for?
-Verifying some research.

Is this coming
from Cole?

It's for me.

Oh, that's right.

End his thieving ways.

Now, watch Cole
Whitman get fucked?

Yeah, I'll pay for that.

-Pak, K?
-Thanks, man.

I need some advice.

Don't buy Mexican food
from Vietnamese people.

Seriously.

Wait, are you...?

That's what I'm
trying to avoid.

Got a plan, but...
it's questionable.

You mean wrong?

Not if you're
smart about it.

The thing is,
I'm very smart.

And I got people
depending on me.

These people, what
would they have you to do?

Yeah, follow that,
you won't go wrong.

[tense music]

Because I'm
looking right at it.

Uh-huh, well get it done.

Get it--
Today!

Sorry to bother, John.

I wanted to show
you some numbers

on a promising
new trade idea.

Now, you know you have
to run all your stuff

through Cole first, right?

Cole's out of the office,
it's time sensitive.

Okay.

Okay, so, these two I know.

So, what is this GeoPak?

I've tracked it awhile now,
it's very exciting.

All right.

I'll give them
a closer look.

[haunting music]

Seyi.

John left these for you.

He okayed these trades?

Yeah, they're good to go.

Remember that thing
I had you check?

Yeah?

John wants us to
really lean on to GeoPak.

You wanna put
the trade on for me?

Do I?

That's awesome.

[Liz] Hey.

What's up?

[Liz] Just be a second, guys.
Sorry, I've got company.

[Seyi] It'll be quick.

I'm sorry to rush off
last night.

Let me make it up to you,
a little restaurant, Bouley?

[Liz] Yeah, dinner's fine, but
maybe somewhere less formal.

[Seyi] Bouley's totally cool.

Friday?

[Liz] Sure, I really got to go.

Talk soon.

[dramatic music]

Hi.

Hey.

Shall we?

Yeah, but I was
thinking maybe

you're right about
something more casual.

Well, what are
you thinking?

Wait and see.

[thumping dance music]

[crowd cheers]

[music continues]

Liz.

Liz.

What's going on?

You can go back inside.

I need to leave though.

What are you talking about?
Talk to me here.

Well, talk about what, Seyi?

My relationship?

I just can't
be doing this.

Are you so sure
about that?

Stop.

Liz, if you feel
something, it's okay.

Listen, listen,
listen, listen,

I said I can't, I can't,
I got to go home, okay?

[melancholy music]

You are doing your
Seyi thing again.

Where are you in that
big Byzantine brain?

Sometimes I
wonder about my dad.

He's always been so bottled
up even before his stroke.

You said he was
caught in Biafra.

My mom does, he
won't talk about it.

Our secrets, they create
barriers between us.

My father would
always tell me

the things we want to hide
can't stay hidden

because they continue affecting
us and everyone around us.

Our secrets have costs.

[haunting music]

How are you sir?

I'm well, thank you.
How are you?

You have insurance?

No.

Is this a refill?

No, no, it's not.

For something like this,
maybe you can come back during

our regular hours so I can
confirm with your doctor.

Thank you.

[tense music]

Quite a run, folks.

Quite a quarter.

And while everyone's contributed
to an excellent few weeks,

I'd like to single out
Seyi, whose tireless extra

effort is a big reason
we're all here today.

[group applauds]

I know, I know.

Things got a bit ugly
around here recently.

But for you survivors, know
that the end of the year

is bringing a little
something extra.

[group applauds]

[tense music]

Seyi,
what couldn't wait?

What's this about?

Well, here.

I don't know what happened
the other night, Liz.

The truth is,
it doesn't matter.

I'm here because
I need you to know

that I think
that you're... smart,

and thoughtful,
and hot, and...

I need to know
if I'm crazy

or is there something
actually here.

Sorry for
the radio silence.

It's just Greg
and I ended things

and I just needed
some time before...

taking that
leap again.

[gentle music]

What do you
wanna do today?

I got to go
play doctor.

Well, you can play
doctor with me again.

Oh, my God.

Did I, did we last night?

Hey, you know my name
means "God made this".

Let's not hold
that against God.

Today is supposed
to be beautiful.

Seyi, I should be
learning

major organ systems
right now.

But major organ
systems are so overrated.

[sweet music]

[music continues]

You wanna be a chrome Seyi
or a tonal Seyi?

Everything okay?

Everything's great.

You got your
secrets, don't you?

Man of mystery.

I'll pry your secrets
away eventually.

I can't believe
you pulled this shit.

Funmi, I had to
deal with someone.

What does that even mean?

Well, I had to
deal with a girl.

-A girl?
-Yes.

That's why you missed
your father's birthday?

I covered for you.

I told Mom that
you actually care.

After today,
I'm not doing that.

Yeah, I can't do this.

I can't work the way I work
and play nurse.

It's fucking bullshit.
You and mama need

to start doing a better job
of keeping up
your end of the bargain.

Our end of the bargain?

Exactly, your end
of the bargain, Funmi.

I swear, there's
actually something

wrong with you up there.

[knock at door]

Oh, yes, come.

What's...?

[Seyi] What's up, Mom?

I was emailing your sister
to meet me in the kitchen.

Listen, Mom,
she's down the hall.

You couldn't do
this one thing for me.

Mom, I always
made myself clear.

It was his birthday.

I didn't come out of
solidarity with you.

Oh, so you did
this only for me?

You can pretend what
he did doesn't matter,

but I can't
fucking do this.

Do not use that
word, and do not let

your sister find out
about your daddy.

Seyi, listen, I do not
have to pretend because I

turned to God, I turned to
him and found forgiveness.

Seyi, this is not
only about your daddy,

it is about
your entire family

sticking together,
no matter what.

We stick together!

Move past this.

You mean sweep it
under a rug.

Look, I came here
to tell you that

what happened yesterday
wasn't about you... okay?

I always thought
I knew you, Seyi.

Apex deal.

John wants it on his
desk by next week.

This is what more
responsibility looks like.

[phone buzzes]

I saw your firm in
the FINRA investor list.

You exposed me.

It can't be traced.

You bought in volume.

Alex bought in volume.

Still breaks
the Chinese wall.

That's an insider deal, man.

I made it look organic,
like our research.

Organic?

This ain't free-range
fucking chickens.

This shit comes home with
a rooster we're fucked.

That's plausible
deniability, trust me.

Thing is I don't.

Now I will check in again,
but know that this, it's over.

And if shit ever
hits the fan,

you best do
the right thing.

[exasperated sigh]

So, what's the
deal with onions?

Onions?

Yeah, you picked them
out at dinner again.

Ogunde men aren't
big on onions.

So, you got it
from your dad then?

You know, you don't
say much about him.

Hey.

Oh, are you
gonna fight me?

Ooh.

Are you changing
the subject?

Now that we're
done making war,

let's go to the bed
and make peace. Okay?

You were noisy
this time, grunting.

[both make silly
grunting sounds]

-[both laugh]
-Come on.

Hey, are we just fucking
or is this, like, for real?

That's a very
feminist question.

Thanks, Gloria Steinem.

It's also
an honest question.

Liz, of course.

[makes silly
grunting sounds]

So, it's looking
as if it's no longer

a matter of if
but when?

And be sure the
doctor's cleared him?

Uh-hmm.

With the caveat that anything
can happen at any moment,

so this is probably
our best window.

And this may be
the last time

your daddy travels
to Nigeria.

I'm saying this now

so everyone has clear notice

and has time to prepare.

Yeah, I can't go.

[Funmi] Wait, what?

I got a lot of things
going on at work.

No.

There's nothing to discuss.

It's my answer, I can't go.

You're full of shit.

No...

[phone buzzes]

What's up?

Nothing's up.

Um... I'm asking because it
looks like something is up

but you're not
saying anything.

I'm not saying anything
because nothing is up.

Did everything go all
right with your family?

Liz, everything is
fine with my family.

You keep on asking me questions
about my family, my dad.

What about your family?

You don't talk
about your dad.

Well, I've never had my family
away from you, not at all.

In fact, my mom's
coming into town

and I was just
about to invite you.

To what?

Dinner, I guess.

She's interested
in meeting you.

I told her about you,
your work,

your cool Nigerian
doctor parents,

even how you
hate onions.

You said all of that?

Uh, yeah.

My mom can actually
be pretty open-minded.

[scoffs]

If you don't wanna
go, just say so.

Liz, no, it's not
that, it's just...

you make me feel like
I got to perform for her,

you know, present some
version of myself.

No, you don't.

Just be the wonderful person
I said you were, be yourself.

[tense music]

[Matt] Seyi Ogunde.

The very last
motherfucker I'd expect.

Seriously, who
here doesn't cheat?

Addy, it's for the kids,
man.

When you're ready to
graduate high school,

you give me a ring.

[tense music]

John needs to see you.

Can't wait till tomorrow?

He wants you in there now.

So can you explain this?

Look, I haven't
done anything wrong.

When the SEC comes, and believe
me they will, nobody looks good.

I followed GeoPak
for a while now.

You don't cover
that sector.

Don't you think it's odd
our healthcare analyst

suddenly knows all
about industrials?

I got a scent,
I followed it.

So where'd you
catch the whiff?

[John] I'm on your side, Seyi,

but you need to get your
story straight, fast.

[Liz] He's never late.

[phone vibrates]

Where are you?

Something massive came up.

[Liz] When are you
getting here?

I got to stay here,
this is important.

I kind of feel that
way about my mom.

Liz, look, I'm sorry, okay?

I'll make it up to you.

It's okay, don't
worry, all right?

I understand.

Thank you.

I'll come over later at 11:00?

I'll be waiting.

See you.

[tense music]

Hey, can you open the door?

[driver] Hold on, man.

Hey, please, can you,
can you open the door?

[driver] Yo, yo, it
ain't working, man,

that's why I pulled off
for a second, all right?

-All right.
-Hold on.

Open the door.

[driver] Hey, you're
gonna break it, man.

Come on, open the door.

[driver] Yo, what
the fuck are you doing?

Hey, shut the fuck up, man.

-Open the fucking door!
-Fuck you!

[intense music]

[line ringing]

[Matt] Hello?

Hey, Matt, it's Seyi Ogunde.

[Matt] Seyi! To what
do I owe the pleasure?

I was wondering if you can
hook me up with something.

[Matt] Of course.

Anything for a friend.

So, how do we do this?

[Matt] Why don't you
just come on over?

No, it's pretty late,
I don't wanna impose.

[Matt] No, no, no, no.
I insist.

The truth is, I
could use your help.

Where am I heading?

[knock on door]

[muffled rap music]

Come on.

[music grows louder]

Robin, Erica,
this is Seyi.

-Seyi's the man.
-[both] Hey, Seyi.

You gotta check this out.

It's a levitating speaker.

Is this shit on some
next level or what?

-Seyi.
-Robin.

So what kind of name
is that?

Seyi?

Nigerian.

I grew up
in South Africa.

Really?

How come?

My dad works
for the CIA.

You wanna hear
something funny?

It's so nice
to meet you, Seyi.

[all laugh]

See, I told you it was funny.

Wanna fix us
some drinks?

[new rap song plays]

So this party was insane,
like, straight up Caligula shit,

and I'm like,
"It's my boss!"

How am I gonna look him
in the eye on Monday?

Lifestyles of
the rich and pervy.

[Matt] Exactamundo.

[Erica laughs]

[rap song continues]

[door closes]

[silence]

Shit.

You've more than earned this.

Provigil.

Shit will keep you
going strong.

It's like Viagra
for your other head.

[intense music]

[knock at door]

What are you doing here, Seyi?

I came to see you.

You mean to ply me
with gifts?

You can't just show
up with flowers

and expect to get
what you want.

Look, I know I've
not been myself lately,

but I can do better,
Liz, I promise.

Where were you?
I went to your place.

I was at the office.

I called your office.

I don't wanna see you now.

I understand
what happened--

Do you understand
what happened?

I need to be alone
tonight.

-Liz, if you just--
-Please, Seyi.

Good morning.

Nancy Shepherd, Securities
and Exchange Commission.

We're headed to
the 24th floor.

[tense music]

[no audible dialogue]

[phone buzzes]

Mama.

How is he?

Tell me.

He's not speaking.

[machines beep]

I cannot continue like this.

After what you have done,
after everything,

you expect me to just
take care of you?

I'm not gonna, cannot
continue like this.

You made me lie.

All of us, you
made us all liars.

I tried to protect
this family, but...

I cannot go on this way

because I am a good mother.

[Funmi] Mom.

I am a good mother,
you hear me?

Mom, how the fuck can you?

What the fuck are
you talking about?

-Funmi, stay calm.
-Not now, Seyi!

-Calm.
-It's true, Funmi.

I am a good mother.

Really?

You are being a good
mother right now.

-You--
-I said stop it!

If you only knew
what he did.

Mom, please, not now.

What did he do?

Another time,
Mom, please.

That summer...

Aunty Aubeo came.
[sniffles]

Remember?

I was vomiting, hmm?

And my urine...
was black...

and my abdomen pained me,

pained me like fire, hmm?

I went to the doctor.

He said, "Do you know
that you have a disease?"

"A disease?" I said.

"Hepatitis," he told me.

That is when I knew
for certain

your father had
been unfaithful.

I cried so much on the way home,
I couldn't see the road.

I had to pull over
because I was afraid

I was going to kill
myself or someone else.

But also because I knew
I could not confront him.

Not after that.

You kept this from me?

Wow.

Not anymore.

[tense music]

Seyi, hey, what's up?
Where have you been?

Family stuff.

Is everything okay?
Dude, these investigators,

they've been wanting to talk
to you, but they're crafty
motherfuckers.

So, just you
be careful, okay?

Okay, peace, bro.

[woman] We're not here to
question you, Mr. Ogunde.

The truth is,
we need your help.

At this point, we
know that Alex Mueller

made these big
purchases of GeoPak.

And we also know about
his friend at LKN,

the private equity
side of the deal.

We could subpoena
his email,

open up a formal investigation,
but we'd like to avoid that.

What do you want?

An admission.

People say you're friends.

I mean, maybe you
heard something.

Maybe you could convince
him to come forward.

I haven't heard a thing.

I notice you're not
exactly defending him here.

Do you think
Mr. Mueller capable?

Mr. Ogunde?

Will you help us?

[gasps]

[phone buzzes]

Are you sure you're okay?

Yeah.

Okay, well, my feelings
are what they are,

but I got some
questions first.

Fire away.

Why do you keep
things from me?

You know
that's not true.

I know you've been
honest about your job,

school, but other things.

You know what
you sound like?

Tell me the truth
about your family.

You sound like
someone crazy.

What is this?
I'm not some bad guy.

Fine, but who are you?

No, this conversation
is over.

No, Seyi, please.
Please, just talk.

It's time you left.

Just please just
talk to me for once.

Be open.

Please?

Just try.

I slept with someone.

[glass shatters]

Go fuck yourself!

[door closes]

[tense music]

Focus, focus, focus.

[tense music]

Hey. Hey!

I wasn't gonna hurt you.

I don't want any trouble.

Trouble?
I'm not robbing you, I just...

I went to fucking Harvard.

Look, you clutched your bag
and I was just saying--

-I said, stop.
-Just look at me
and listen to me.

I swear, if you don't.

Hey, don't treat me
like that.

Clutch your bag, you know me,
huh? You know my IQ?

I'm at the top.
Off the charts.

I graduated with honors.

You know what my father
accomplished from nothing?

You can't outdo me.
Don't look at me like
you're better than me.

Help, help me!

Hey, hey, stop right there!

[intense music]

Stop right there!

[intense music]

What do you wanna do?

[intense music]

[gasps and chokes]

[line rings]

Hello?

Please, I need help.

Please.

Hey.

Hey.

What happened?

You don't remember?

I remember running
from the police and...

Just running.

You called me
asking for help.

You came.

It's not like that, Seyi.

Liz, please you know I.

You got other visitors,
your mom and your sister.

They're very nice people.

-Thank you.
-It's okay.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

I'm sorry, Mom.

[woman on PA, indistinct]

Do you need anything?

You talked about...
forgiving Dad.

How?

I couldn't
forgive your father.

But, I couldn't
hate him either.

I struggled with forgiveness,
Seyi, every day.

What he did was terrible.

Uh-hmm, but what I
did was wrong, too.

If you really want
things to change,

you have to be willing
to look at the truth and...

I turned a blind eye.

Understand I never wanted
to hurt you or your sister.

A mother, a parent,

never wants to hurt their child,
it's unnatural.

All of us, we've
all made mistakes.

You'll appreciate this later.

A person is not only
the worst thing they have done

or the best thing.

Your father and I
still share a love.

It helps us try to
accept and forgive.

Do you have that love for him?

-Do you love him?
-Come on.

It's a simple
question.

It's a manipulative
question.

Oh, no, Seyi.

Please stop. No.

Do you love your daddy?

[soft music]

[TV Reporter]
For today's volume, or more
precisely the lack of it,

it is one of the lowest
volume days of the year,

with less than half
normal daily trading.

Now, even so, we did have some
big individual stories today,

including serious
Sears holdings.

[traffic noise]

[intense music]

[sobs]

We need to talk.

About what?

About Alex,
GeoPak, everything.

Why are you dressed like--
You know what, that's all gonna
have to wait, I got the--

Yeah, John, I can't wait.

Sit down.

I don't know what you think
is going on around here,

but the SEC came, they
took a look around,

they came up with
nothing conclusive.

So no formal orders then?

And everyone's fine?
Alex is fine?

I wouldn't say that.

Alex's name is on
all of those trades.

I don't think I need
to explain to you

why that means we need
to get rid of him.

Yeah, that would
be a mistake.

That's my call to make.

It'd be a mistake because...

it was me.

All me.

I got hold of the information
on the buyer's side

of the deal,
but I can't mention how.

And then I had Alex
do the transactions

to throw off the scent.

And it all worked.

It worked too well.

And it'll continue
to work well

because you're taking this
with you to the grave

and we're not reopening
this chapter again, okay?

And now, go wait
outside my office.

Somebody will come by shortly
to escort you to your desk

where you can pack
up your things.

I have to say
goodbye to you, Iji.

Why?

Not as smart as I thought.

Or too smart by half.

Remember you told me about...

secrets and their cost?

What happens when you
tell someone the truth?

You may not get
exactly what you want,

but if a person
cares about you,

the person will listen and
embrace you for who you are.

I hope to see
more of you, Seyi.

Ah, all right.

Thanks for coming.

How are you feeling?

Like shit.

I wanted to share
something with you

about my dad,
if that's okay?

Of course.

I don't know where to start.

He was born in rural Nigeria

to illiterate farmers.

There was a British colony then.

He learned to read
and write because of

Irish Catholic
missionaries who came.

One of them saw something
special in my dad,

helped him move ahead in school.

He spent so much time
always studying that,

as my mom tells it,
my granddad was afraid

that his son would be
taken away

and sacrificed to
the white man's God.

He took that education
and he ran with it,

made it to college.

You know, my mom says he
could've been anything.

Instead he decided to work
for the new government,

to be a civil servant.

That's what he always
called himself, a servant.

Whatever money he had,
he'd give away for clothes,

books so other kids
could do what he did.

And when the country
fell into dictatorship,

and they had to leave...

came here...

Without a thought,
he got a job in a hotel.

She became a nurse,

to make a life for
my sister and me.

They're good people.

He's a good person,

but he could never
accept his past and...

One day he'd make
a terrible mistake,

and hurt someone he loved.

He hasn't been able to confront that either because...

I don't know, maybe...

he feels like
he won't be forgiven...

he won't be loved...

he'd be alone.

[gentle music]

You can try to
escape these things,

chase something better...

maybe even succeed wildly.

You can do
all of that right...

and still get life so wrong.

I think maybe...

he understands this now.

[thoughtful music]
