Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,625 --> 00:00:03,461
[Prince] Previously on Billions.
2
00:00:06,256 --> 00:00:07,757
Axe swallowed it.
3
00:00:07,799 --> 00:00:09,300
He actually closed
on that money.
4
00:00:09,342 --> 00:00:10,343
Where does that leave us?
5
00:00:10,385 --> 00:00:12,929
It leaves you head down,
eyes forward doing good work,
6
00:00:12,929 --> 00:00:15,015
earning returns for the firm.
7
00:00:16,016 --> 00:00:18,143
Pull him out of there!
8
00:00:22,772 --> 00:00:24,315
I'll give you two billion
walk away money
9
00:00:24,357 --> 00:00:28,069
for Axe Holding, the bank,
and the asset management arm.
10
00:00:28,069 --> 00:00:29,654
I hope when this all calms down
11
00:00:29,696 --> 00:00:31,114
and you really
look at it and me,
12
00:00:31,114 --> 00:00:32,866
that you won't
even want to leave.
13
00:00:32,907 --> 00:00:36,786
But the thing of it is we can't,
even if we want to, right?
14
00:00:36,786 --> 00:00:39,456
Anyone who wants to get wealthy,
15
00:00:39,456 --> 00:00:41,332
rich in your language, can stay,
16
00:00:41,374 --> 00:00:44,753
and we can discuss your
place in the new organization.
17
00:00:44,794 --> 00:00:47,005
- I'm out.
- Yeah. This place...
18
00:00:47,047 --> 00:00:49,299
I'm out of here too.
19
00:00:49,340 --> 00:00:50,633
Run.
20
00:00:50,675 --> 00:00:54,721
If I see you here again,
it'll be to my benefit...
21
00:00:55,722 --> 00:00:56,931
but I hope I don't.
22
00:00:56,973 --> 00:01:00,518
This company,
formerly known as Axe Capital,
23
00:01:00,518 --> 00:01:01,644
belongs to me now.
24
00:01:01,686 --> 00:01:03,188
Now, you're my problem.
25
00:01:03,229 --> 00:01:05,940
And you know what
I do to problems.
26
00:01:05,982 --> 00:01:07,233
- I get rid of them.
- No.
27
00:01:07,233 --> 00:01:09,069
I got rid of the
guy in the chair.
28
00:01:09,069 --> 00:01:11,154
Now how we know this to be true?
29
00:01:11,196 --> 00:01:14,032
'Cause I'm the
one sitting in it.
30
00:01:14,032 --> 00:01:16,284
Not for fucking long.
31
00:01:37,639 --> 00:01:40,308
[cows mooing]
32
00:01:44,521 --> 00:01:47,148
[lanterns clacking]
33
00:01:51,486 --> 00:01:52,779
Follow me.
34
00:01:52,779 --> 00:01:55,281
- [all cheering]
- Yeah!
35
00:01:57,408 --> 00:01:59,327
[engine starts]
36
00:02:07,877 --> 00:02:10,630
[dog barking]
37
00:02:25,019 --> 00:02:27,147
Hold fire!
38
00:02:39,951 --> 00:02:42,954
That cannon has
fired its last salvo!
39
00:02:42,954 --> 00:02:45,373
[townspeople cheering]
40
00:02:47,292 --> 00:02:50,336
["For What It's Worth" by
Buffalo Springfield playing]
41
00:02:52,922 --> 00:02:56,885
There's something Happening here
42
00:02:56,885 --> 00:03:01,806
But what it is
Ain't exactly clear
43
00:03:01,848 --> 00:03:06,895
There's a man With
a gun over there
44
00:03:06,895 --> 00:03:08,563
A-telling me
45
00:03:08,563 --> 00:03:10,398
I got to beware...
46
00:03:10,398 --> 00:03:11,441
[cannons firing]
47
00:03:11,482 --> 00:03:13,568
...I think it's time We stop,
children
48
00:03:13,568 --> 00:03:15,028
What's that sound?
49
00:03:15,069 --> 00:03:18,740
Everybody look What's going down
50
00:03:25,163 --> 00:03:27,665
[firing continues]
51
00:03:29,375 --> 00:03:34,214
You'll be so centered
in the office today.
52
00:03:34,214 --> 00:03:35,757
You're in the zone, huh?
53
00:03:35,757 --> 00:03:37,383
That's the idea.
54
00:03:37,383 --> 00:03:38,551
Focus.
55
00:03:38,593 --> 00:03:40,678
Detachment from all else.
56
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,764
That Buddhist shit.
57
00:03:42,764 --> 00:03:46,392
If I can only put everything...
58
00:03:46,434 --> 00:03:47,393
right here.
59
00:03:47,393 --> 00:03:49,312
Right at the tip of
my consciousness.
60
00:03:49,354 --> 00:03:52,023
Then you are gonna
make hella good ice cream.
61
00:03:52,065 --> 00:03:53,149
Then I'm...
62
00:03:53,191 --> 00:03:56,110
maybe can work
myself out of my--
63
00:03:56,152 --> 00:03:57,904
Don't think.
64
00:03:57,946 --> 00:04:00,198
- Just do.
- Ah.
65
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:01,866
There's that
Buddhist shit again.
66
00:04:01,908 --> 00:04:03,993
What a field day For the heat
67
00:04:03,993 --> 00:04:05,245
Ooh ooh ooh
68
00:04:05,245 --> 00:04:08,164
A thousand people In the street
69
00:04:08,164 --> 00:04:10,124
[woman laughing through laptop]
70
00:04:10,124 --> 00:04:14,963
Singing songs
And a-carrying signs
71
00:04:15,004 --> 00:04:19,092
Mostly say,
"Hooray for our side"
72
00:04:19,092 --> 00:04:20,343
It's time we stop
73
00:04:20,385 --> 00:04:22,303
Hey, what's that sound?
74
00:04:22,345 --> 00:04:27,725
Everybody look What's going down
75
00:04:35,233 --> 00:04:36,234
Good? Need a break?
76
00:04:36,276 --> 00:04:37,610
When I ask for a break,
77
00:04:37,610 --> 00:04:40,071
you'll know the body
snatchers have taken me over.
78
00:04:40,071 --> 00:04:42,490
Good, now use your head.
79
00:04:44,867 --> 00:04:46,286
Sex. He's having sex.
80
00:04:46,327 --> 00:04:48,037
Could he just be having sex?
81
00:04:48,079 --> 00:04:50,957
It's him we're talking
about. It's probably sex.
82
00:04:50,999 --> 00:04:54,127
That would look... different,
I think.
83
00:04:54,127 --> 00:04:55,461
But I'm not a doctor.
84
00:04:55,503 --> 00:04:57,338
And as a non-doctor,
you're diagnosing heart attack.
85
00:04:57,338 --> 00:05:00,049
Well,
I can't diagnose. The not-doctor thing.
86
00:05:00,049 --> 00:05:01,634
Suggesting. Declaring.
87
00:05:01,676 --> 00:05:02,844
Somewhere in that spectrum.
88
00:05:02,885 --> 00:05:03,970
Because this...
89
00:05:03,970 --> 00:05:06,764
is what a heart
attack looks like.
90
00:05:08,099 --> 00:05:10,893
These readouts look as
alike as the Van Arsdale twins.
91
00:05:10,893 --> 00:05:12,854
When you pull out those
'70s basketball metaphors,
92
00:05:12,895 --> 00:05:14,147
it does force me to listen.
93
00:05:14,147 --> 00:05:15,773
I reserve them for
maximum impact.
94
00:05:15,815 --> 00:05:17,025
Yes.
95
00:05:17,066 --> 00:05:18,443
So, then,
we have to make the call.
96
00:05:18,484 --> 00:05:20,820
I'll admit,
it's the right thing to do.
97
00:05:20,820 --> 00:05:22,155
If you can save a life,
you save a life.
98
00:05:22,196 --> 00:05:23,698
- That's the kind of thing I--
- Yes.
99
00:05:23,698 --> 00:05:25,116
And I know you mean it. But...
100
00:05:25,116 --> 00:05:28,578
even at the cost of
exposing what we're doing.
101
00:05:28,578 --> 00:05:30,204
I'm going to leave
that question lingering
102
00:05:30,204 --> 00:05:32,582
so you can hear it
and answer yourself.
103
00:05:32,582 --> 00:05:33,333
Damn.
104
00:05:33,374 --> 00:05:34,917
Once you said heart attack,
105
00:05:34,917 --> 00:05:36,085
you knew we'd intervene.
106
00:05:36,127 --> 00:05:38,212
But now our cover's
gonna be blown.
107
00:05:38,212 --> 00:05:40,715
Maybe in the all the hubbub,
they won't notice.
108
00:05:40,715 --> 00:05:42,550
Make the call.
109
00:05:44,093 --> 00:05:45,970
[door knocking]
110
00:05:47,263 --> 00:05:49,140
[panting] What the fuck
are you guys doing here?
111
00:05:49,140 --> 00:05:50,641
Are you strippers?
112
00:05:50,641 --> 00:05:55,355
Because great,
but... not until I finish my--
113
00:05:55,355 --> 00:05:57,398
We're not strippers,
sir. You're having a heart attack,
114
00:05:57,398 --> 00:05:59,525
- we're here to--
- I'm doing a Peloton class.
115
00:05:59,567 --> 00:06:01,110
With Tunde.
116
00:06:01,152 --> 00:06:05,656
So I don't have a heart attack
keeping up with my girlfriend.
117
00:06:06,741 --> 00:06:08,409
She's young.
118
00:06:09,118 --> 00:06:11,371
I liked you better when
you were strippers.
119
00:06:11,371 --> 00:06:12,747
We were never strippers.
120
00:06:12,789 --> 00:06:14,082
Sir, how's your jaw?
121
00:06:15,583 --> 00:06:18,878
Now that you mention it,
a little like Ali after Norton.
122
00:06:18,878 --> 00:06:21,047
And... uh,
123
00:06:21,089 --> 00:06:24,133
if I'm being honest,
the breathing's
124
00:06:24,175 --> 00:06:25,468
a little... tight. Huh.
125
00:06:25,468 --> 00:06:27,929
Mr. Wagner, I implore you,
take this aspirin
126
00:06:27,970 --> 00:06:29,806
and let us get you
down to an ambulance
127
00:06:29,806 --> 00:06:32,517
before it's too late.
128
00:06:32,558 --> 00:06:34,018
Huh?
129
00:06:34,060 --> 00:06:35,436
Step out of line
130
00:06:35,478 --> 00:06:39,107
The man come
and take you away...
131
00:06:40,775 --> 00:06:42,860
It's alive!
132
00:06:44,028 --> 00:06:47,407
- [applause]
- Wags!
133
00:06:55,123 --> 00:06:58,418
That is something
to see right there.
134
00:07:00,378 --> 00:07:01,671
Rumors of my demise--
135
00:07:01,671 --> 00:07:04,882
I mean to say,
it is fucking great to be back!
136
00:07:04,924 --> 00:07:06,717
So glad to see you.
137
00:07:06,759 --> 00:07:08,094
So, so glad.
138
00:07:08,094 --> 00:07:09,220
I was worried.
139
00:07:09,262 --> 00:07:11,597
Yeah,
I got that from the 40 texts a day.
140
00:07:11,639 --> 00:07:14,267
But like I said,
it's a small heart attack.
141
00:07:14,308 --> 00:07:15,852
Mild as Babybel cheese.
142
00:07:15,893 --> 00:07:18,396
Stents are in. Better than new.
143
00:07:18,438 --> 00:07:20,440
How'd you know it wasn't
just indigestion or something?
144
00:07:20,481 --> 00:07:22,024
I always wonder if I'd know.
145
00:07:22,066 --> 00:07:24,819
You were weaned on
olive oil and rustic red wine.
146
00:07:24,819 --> 00:07:27,321
Better chance of you being
knocked off in a barber's chair
147
00:07:27,321 --> 00:07:29,949
than from the ticker exploding. But no,
I didn't know.
148
00:07:29,991 --> 00:07:33,077
So what made you
call the ambulance?
149
00:07:34,412 --> 00:07:36,831
Come to think of it, I didn't.
150
00:07:51,637 --> 00:07:53,931
[Prince] This is
a listening tour.
151
00:07:53,931 --> 00:07:55,224
I listen. You talk.
152
00:07:55,266 --> 00:07:57,143
Then I give someone
else a chance to talk.
153
00:07:57,143 --> 00:07:59,562
But first, take this.
154
00:07:59,562 --> 00:08:01,105
All of you are gonna get one.
155
00:08:01,105 --> 00:08:03,399
The Nimbus. A buddy's startup.
156
00:08:03,399 --> 00:08:05,610
You're holding that ring
out there like it's Frodo's.
157
00:08:05,651 --> 00:08:07,737
In its own way,
it has the same kind of potential
158
00:08:07,778 --> 00:08:10,406
for life extension and to
improve our community.
159
00:08:10,448 --> 00:08:13,326
This'll track your sleep,
your resting heart rate,
160
00:08:13,326 --> 00:08:15,453
your BEWAT and
ICHS and other vitals
161
00:08:15,453 --> 00:08:17,997
in the name of
well-being and productivity
162
00:08:18,039 --> 00:08:19,624
so that you can measure you.
163
00:08:19,624 --> 00:08:21,334
We've found the
mind/body connection
164
00:08:21,375 --> 00:08:22,585
a key difference maker.
165
00:08:22,627 --> 00:08:24,837
Use this for a month,
check in on yourself,
166
00:08:24,879 --> 00:08:26,172
see if you don't agree.
167
00:08:26,214 --> 00:08:27,715
When you say,
"use this," is that like, uh,
168
00:08:27,715 --> 00:08:30,676
"if you choose to use this,"
or "you have to use this?"
169
00:08:30,718 --> 00:08:32,386
I'm not here to give
you orders today.
170
00:08:32,428 --> 00:08:34,138
It's just--I don't
think I want to wear it.
171
00:08:34,180 --> 00:08:36,682
I will become obsessed
with not disappointing myself.
172
00:08:36,724 --> 00:08:38,726
I will end up working
out even more.
173
00:08:38,726 --> 00:08:41,270
Eating even less. Actually,
that sounds great--
174
00:08:41,270 --> 00:08:43,231
- Gimme that, please.
- Good.
175
00:08:43,231 --> 00:08:46,275
Look, I know this place used
to operate in the red zone.
176
00:08:46,317 --> 00:08:48,778
I don't do red zone.
177
00:08:48,778 --> 00:08:49,987
So talk to me.
178
00:08:49,987 --> 00:08:52,156
Ain't ratting or
being ratted on.
179
00:08:52,156 --> 00:08:53,908
I'm not really
interested in being
180
00:08:53,950 --> 00:08:55,493
the Big Pussy of this place.
181
00:08:55,493 --> 00:08:57,537
Never ends well
for the Big Pussy.
182
00:08:57,537 --> 00:09:00,456
Dollar Bill never said
nothing like that about you.
183
00:09:00,456 --> 00:09:04,168
No one's getting capped because
of something someone said.
184
00:09:04,168 --> 00:09:06,462
As Ness said to
the Chi-Town cops,
185
00:09:06,504 --> 00:09:09,340
"What you've done before
today is not my concern.
186
00:09:09,382 --> 00:09:11,551
But now we must be pure."
187
00:09:11,592 --> 00:09:13,386
I'm getting my arms
around this place,
188
00:09:13,386 --> 00:09:16,973
so this is your chance
to shape that bundle
189
00:09:16,973 --> 00:09:18,808
that's gonna be in those arms.
190
00:09:18,808 --> 00:09:20,101
So, let's begin.
191
00:09:25,022 --> 00:09:27,108
Everyone knew
to be here for this
192
00:09:27,108 --> 00:09:29,360
I'm here. With bells on.
193
00:09:29,402 --> 00:09:30,611
Set my alarm and everything.
194
00:09:30,611 --> 00:09:32,488
[Rian] Taylor comes
and goes as they wish.
195
00:09:32,530 --> 00:09:33,906
Wherever they are in the world,
196
00:09:33,906 --> 00:09:35,157
they produce results.
197
00:09:35,199 --> 00:09:36,450
Kind of like how
Dwayne "The Rock"
198
00:09:36,492 --> 00:09:38,411
can show up late to a film shoot
199
00:09:38,452 --> 00:09:40,955
because his movies always do,
like, a billion dollars.
200
00:09:40,997 --> 00:09:42,456
Guys like Winston
201
00:09:42,456 --> 00:09:43,624
need to spitshine their shoes
202
00:09:43,624 --> 00:09:46,043
and stand at
attention to get noticed.
203
00:09:46,085 --> 00:09:47,253
I like your loyalty.
204
00:09:47,295 --> 00:09:48,838
And agree,
Winston showing out like this
205
00:09:48,879 --> 00:09:50,673
is what the Navy SEALs
would call "butt snorkeling."
206
00:09:50,673 --> 00:09:53,175
But when I announce an all-hands,
I need--
207
00:09:53,175 --> 00:09:54,468
I know what you need.
208
00:09:54,510 --> 00:09:57,221
Or what you claim to
need. Bracing honesty.
209
00:09:57,263 --> 00:09:58,806
But when people say that,
what they really want is
210
00:09:58,806 --> 00:10:02,268
someone to tousle their hair and tell them,
"good boy."
211
00:10:05,521 --> 00:10:09,567
I have neither the hair
nor the need for approval.
212
00:10:09,609 --> 00:10:11,944
Besides,
I'm asking about what was,
213
00:10:11,986 --> 00:10:13,946
what should be, not what is.
214
00:10:13,946 --> 00:10:15,114
Not your judgment of me.
215
00:10:15,156 --> 00:10:16,866
You are the very
thing I am judging.
216
00:10:16,866 --> 00:10:19,660
My judgment of you crowds all
other discernment I might have.
217
00:10:19,702 --> 00:10:21,537
I'm gonna work hard
to shift that judgment.
218
00:10:21,579 --> 00:10:23,164
That's on me now.
219
00:10:23,164 --> 00:10:24,624
I don't think that can happen.
220
00:10:24,665 --> 00:10:26,542
Just tell me what you
need to succeed here.
221
00:10:26,584 --> 00:10:28,336
A boss I can trust
and work with.
222
00:10:28,377 --> 00:10:29,462
I'm not Axe.
223
00:10:29,462 --> 00:10:30,671
You're sitting in
the same office.
224
00:10:30,671 --> 00:10:31,881
You own what was once his.
225
00:10:31,922 --> 00:10:33,799
For different reasons.
I need faster returns
226
00:10:33,841 --> 00:10:36,510
and greater liquidity than
private equity provides.
227
00:10:36,510 --> 00:10:40,973
To that end, I want to make
you Chief Investment Officer.
228
00:10:40,973 --> 00:10:42,350
How's that for trust?
229
00:10:42,391 --> 00:10:44,393
Yeah,
that means you trust me
230
00:10:44,435 --> 00:10:47,188
and want to use me to
win over the investors' trust.
231
00:10:47,188 --> 00:10:48,564
But I won't take that position.
232
00:10:48,606 --> 00:10:51,609
Last time I was CIO,
all my moves were wiped off the board.
233
00:10:51,651 --> 00:10:53,194
Like I said, I'm different.
234
00:10:53,235 --> 00:10:54,654
And I'm willing to put
the time and effort in
235
00:10:54,695 --> 00:10:56,238
to prove that to you...
236
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:57,907
to everyone here.
237
00:10:57,948 --> 00:10:59,158
You bought me up.
238
00:10:59,158 --> 00:11:01,118
You're kind of forcing
me to stay here.
239
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,371
Doesn't feel different.
240
00:11:12,254 --> 00:11:14,882
[cannons firing]
241
00:11:24,141 --> 00:11:25,601
[Chuck] Hello, neighbor.
242
00:11:25,643 --> 00:11:27,895
- Good day, sir.
- Good day to you.
243
00:11:27,937 --> 00:11:29,313
Boy, this is...
244
00:11:29,313 --> 00:11:31,524
some magnificent spread.
245
00:11:31,565 --> 00:11:34,360
Something that's
been in the family for--
246
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,987
Well,
it was in the family years ago.
247
00:11:37,029 --> 00:11:38,531
And now, once again.
248
00:11:38,531 --> 00:11:41,158
My great-great-great
-great-grandfather
249
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,494
- built those stone fences...
- Ah.
250
00:11:43,536 --> 00:11:44,662
...and hid behind them,
251
00:11:44,704 --> 00:11:47,039
firing his musket
at the Redcoats.
252
00:11:47,081 --> 00:11:49,250
Hmm. [chuckles]
253
00:11:50,376 --> 00:11:51,460
Yeah.
254
00:11:51,502 --> 00:11:54,046
You'd think a place this grand,
255
00:11:54,088 --> 00:11:55,715
it would suck up the sound.
256
00:11:55,756 --> 00:11:58,217
But it's a funny thing
about gunpowder and sky,
257
00:11:58,217 --> 00:12:00,594
one offers little
resistance to the other.
258
00:12:00,636 --> 00:12:01,804
That's the thing about a cannon,
259
00:12:01,804 --> 00:12:04,348
nothing much
offers it resistance.
260
00:12:04,348 --> 00:12:05,516
[laughs]
261
00:12:05,516 --> 00:12:08,728
That's why I have such
regard for their power.
262
00:12:09,562 --> 00:12:12,106
Well, that's why I'm here.
263
00:12:12,106 --> 00:12:13,190
The artillery.
264
00:12:13,232 --> 00:12:15,818
For one thing, uh,
we share a stream,
265
00:12:15,818 --> 00:12:17,778
that I irrigate my fields with,
266
00:12:17,820 --> 00:12:20,364
and when it comes to
black powder residue
267
00:12:20,364 --> 00:12:21,699
and leaching metals--
268
00:12:21,699 --> 00:12:24,326
I'm downstream of you.
269
00:12:24,368 --> 00:12:25,244
Mm-hmm.
270
00:12:25,286 --> 00:12:27,204
- So you are.
- Hmm-hmm.
271
00:12:27,246 --> 00:12:29,415
Then there's the noise.
272
00:12:29,457 --> 00:12:32,084
It's really jarring
and unsettling.
273
00:12:32,126 --> 00:12:33,961
And I'm not a dairy outfit,
274
00:12:34,003 --> 00:12:36,547
but I do have a milk cow,
and she's sensitive.
275
00:12:36,547 --> 00:12:40,092
She won't give milk with
all the bombs bursting in air.
276
00:12:40,134 --> 00:12:42,511
Well, I'm sorry to hear your
Guernsey's teats are swoll--
277
00:12:42,553 --> 00:12:44,221
She's a Holstein.
278
00:12:44,221 --> 00:12:46,474
That's--
279
00:12:46,474 --> 00:12:49,935
[sighs] A smart man once said,
280
00:12:49,935 --> 00:12:52,438
"Nothing external
affects how you feel.
281
00:12:52,438 --> 00:12:54,982
You control how you feel."
282
00:12:55,524 --> 00:12:56,609
So I say this,
283
00:12:56,650 --> 00:12:58,652
"When you hear the
sound of the cannon,
284
00:12:58,652 --> 00:13:00,237
why don't you hear what I do?"
285
00:13:00,237 --> 00:13:02,114
The sound of liberty,
286
00:13:02,156 --> 00:13:04,283
of triumph.
287
00:13:04,325 --> 00:13:05,493
Of America!
288
00:13:05,493 --> 00:13:07,912
You can make yourself
process it that way.
289
00:13:07,953 --> 00:13:09,538
Hmm.
290
00:13:09,580 --> 00:13:12,458
Seems like an awful lot of work.
291
00:13:12,500 --> 00:13:14,585
[sighs] Work...
292
00:13:14,627 --> 00:13:16,712
is how I made the fortune
293
00:13:16,754 --> 00:13:19,507
that's allowed me to
possess this place anew.
294
00:13:19,548 --> 00:13:20,925
Work is what men like me...
295
00:13:20,966 --> 00:13:23,552
And, I assume, you, are made of.
296
00:13:23,552 --> 00:13:27,473
Sure. No, I'm familiar with
the bromides of the self-made.
297
00:13:27,515 --> 00:13:30,768
The work-is-the-tonic types.
298
00:13:30,810 --> 00:13:32,561
Perhaps you could
do me the courtesy
299
00:13:32,561 --> 00:13:35,314
of just limiting the
number of times a week.
300
00:13:35,314 --> 00:13:37,316
It's strictly limited.
301
00:13:37,316 --> 00:13:38,943
Morning and nightfall.
302
00:13:38,943 --> 00:13:40,820
- I'm a constitutional scholar...
- Ah.
303
00:13:40,861 --> 00:13:43,572
Not as a vocation, like you,
304
00:13:43,614 --> 00:13:44,865
but as an avocation.
305
00:13:44,907 --> 00:13:47,409
And the amendments to
that vaunted document--
306
00:13:47,451 --> 00:13:48,953
[chuckles] Oh, I'm ahead of you.
307
00:13:48,953 --> 00:13:52,540
Yes,
I know which amendment you're so keen on.
308
00:13:54,375 --> 00:13:55,668
Well, thanks for the visit.
309
00:13:55,709 --> 00:13:58,587
Mind Mr. Frost's words
about good fences.
310
00:13:58,629 --> 00:14:00,422
Ah,
the neighbors worked together
311
00:14:00,464 --> 00:14:02,174
in Robert Frost's
"Mending Wall."
312
00:14:02,174 --> 00:14:03,634
The point is wholly--
313
00:14:03,676 --> 00:14:05,219
Whatever.
314
00:14:05,219 --> 00:14:06,428
[chuckles]
315
00:14:06,470 --> 00:14:08,138
I didn't come looking for a war.
316
00:14:08,180 --> 00:14:10,516
Well I, on the other hand,
have always regretted
317
00:14:10,516 --> 00:14:13,018
I didn't get a chance
to fight in mine.
318
00:14:13,018 --> 00:14:14,478
[scoffs]
319
00:14:31,036 --> 00:14:33,163
Former culture wasn't
a problem for me.
320
00:14:33,205 --> 00:14:35,833
New one won't be either.
I'm not like these weak-knees.
321
00:14:35,875 --> 00:14:37,835
You're not talking about me,
are you?
322
00:14:37,835 --> 00:14:39,670
I hope you don't think my knees are weak,
they're--
323
00:14:39,670 --> 00:14:41,755
Well, he's not fucking talking about me,
dude.
324
00:14:41,797 --> 00:14:43,674
[Prince] Let's start with this.
325
00:14:43,674 --> 00:14:46,135
There's no shame
in being sensitive.
326
00:14:46,176 --> 00:14:47,469
You need to be.
327
00:14:47,469 --> 00:14:49,138
One of the secrets to
being a great investor
328
00:14:49,179 --> 00:14:51,473
is recognizing the
impulses that might lead you
329
00:14:51,515 --> 00:14:53,225
to make decisions
based on emotion.
330
00:14:53,267 --> 00:14:55,853
If you're not training
yourself to recognize those,
331
00:14:55,853 --> 00:14:58,063
your subconscious will
just be directed by them.
332
00:14:58,063 --> 00:14:58,981
Thank you!
333
00:14:59,023 --> 00:15:00,566
Now you won't have
to go the bathroom
334
00:15:00,566 --> 00:15:01,525
when you want to cry, Tuk.
335
00:15:01,567 --> 00:15:02,902
Once! One time and--
336
00:15:02,902 --> 00:15:04,945
What was encouraged
was more of a
337
00:15:04,987 --> 00:15:07,156
"Stick your emotions
where your conscience is,
338
00:15:07,156 --> 00:15:10,242
and then tie 'em off
like a gangrenous leg
339
00:15:10,242 --> 00:15:12,453
until they wither and die.
340
00:15:12,494 --> 00:15:14,371
Then chop 'em off forever."
341
00:15:14,371 --> 00:15:15,748
What effect do
you think that had?
342
00:15:15,748 --> 00:15:17,082
Greased the way to profit.
343
00:15:17,082 --> 00:15:19,835
Take the friction out. For
guys like me and Bonnie.
344
00:15:19,835 --> 00:15:22,421
And led to some pretty
close calls with the SEC,
345
00:15:22,421 --> 00:15:23,756
the U.S. Attorney's Office,
the--
346
00:15:23,756 --> 00:15:25,007
Never convicted! We were--
347
00:15:25,049 --> 00:15:27,051
I mean, Axe was,
sort of, in absentia.
348
00:15:27,092 --> 00:15:29,219
We're going on a different
kind of exploration here.
349
00:15:29,219 --> 00:15:31,889
Because I believe it'll
lead you to be better,
350
00:15:31,889 --> 00:15:34,224
not worse, at your jobs.
351
00:15:36,685 --> 00:15:38,854
We used to work for a killer,
352
00:15:38,896 --> 00:15:41,732
now we've got a guy who
wants to know how we "feel."
353
00:15:41,774 --> 00:15:44,443
Why is he asking
for our guidance?
354
00:15:44,485 --> 00:15:45,694
Why doesn't he know what to do?
355
00:15:45,736 --> 00:15:47,404
Point me at a hill,
356
00:15:47,446 --> 00:15:48,781
tell me to take the hill.
357
00:15:48,781 --> 00:15:50,074
That's what I want in a general.
358
00:15:50,074 --> 00:15:53,744
I must admit,
Axe's ruthlessness was almost...
359
00:15:53,786 --> 00:15:55,955
reassuring.
360
00:15:57,331 --> 00:15:58,749
This might not be salvageable.
361
00:15:58,791 --> 00:16:01,251
Maybe we just take the
joint down to the rivets.
362
00:16:01,293 --> 00:16:02,378
Start over.
363
00:16:02,419 --> 00:16:03,295
Nah.
364
00:16:03,295 --> 00:16:05,464
We can turn it around.
365
00:16:05,506 --> 00:16:07,216
Can't we?
366
00:16:07,257 --> 00:16:09,093
Turn it around?
367
00:16:09,093 --> 00:16:10,052
Can you?
368
00:16:10,094 --> 00:16:13,639
Well, if anyone can guide me there,
it's you.
369
00:16:13,681 --> 00:16:16,976
You're the magic sauce,
aren't you?
370
00:16:16,976 --> 00:16:19,687
Special sauce. Magic touch.
371
00:16:19,728 --> 00:16:21,689
I don't get nervous.
You make me nervous.
372
00:16:21,730 --> 00:16:23,190
Like you can see through me.
373
00:16:23,232 --> 00:16:25,776
That's a good technique.
But you're not nervous.
374
00:16:25,776 --> 00:16:27,027
And you said "magic
sauce" on purpose
375
00:16:27,069 --> 00:16:30,364
to give me the power
in the conversation.
376
00:16:31,532 --> 00:16:33,867
What do you want with me?
377
00:16:33,909 --> 00:16:36,203
I wanted to see if you
were that good. You are.
378
00:16:36,203 --> 00:16:38,622
That's very much up
for debate right now.
379
00:16:38,664 --> 00:16:39,957
Not with me.
380
00:16:39,957 --> 00:16:41,333
I look at my results,
381
00:16:41,375 --> 00:16:43,711
and I don't see a lot of
checkmarks in the win column.
382
00:16:43,711 --> 00:16:45,838
My guy lost this whole place.
383
00:16:45,879 --> 00:16:47,756
Guy hits 700 home runs,
384
00:16:47,798 --> 00:16:49,717
but gets caught bringing
a corked bat to plate,
385
00:16:49,758 --> 00:16:52,302
you can't blame yourself
without also taking credit
386
00:16:52,344 --> 00:16:53,637
for the 700 dingers.
387
00:16:53,679 --> 00:16:55,305
The one matters
more than the other.
388
00:16:55,305 --> 00:16:56,724
On that, we agree.
389
00:16:56,765 --> 00:16:59,351
You'll find no pine tar,
no cork,
390
00:16:59,393 --> 00:17:00,978
no dented garbage cans,
391
00:17:00,978 --> 00:17:02,479
no signs stolen here.
392
00:17:02,479 --> 00:17:04,023
Okay, Mr. October.
393
00:17:04,064 --> 00:17:05,190
But I'm not settling either,
394
00:17:05,232 --> 00:17:06,984
for my current level
of performance.
395
00:17:07,026 --> 00:17:09,486
And here's one you
probably didn't guess.
396
00:17:09,486 --> 00:17:10,946
I've never been coached.
397
00:17:10,988 --> 00:17:14,033
Not since I was an athlete,
I mean.
398
00:17:14,033 --> 00:17:16,035
No therapy,
no executive coaching,
399
00:17:16,035 --> 00:17:18,328
no shrink, no life guru.
400
00:17:18,912 --> 00:17:19,913
But with you--
401
00:17:19,955 --> 00:17:22,499
Nah, there is no "with me."
402
00:17:23,584 --> 00:17:26,086
If I can somehow
still do what I used to,
403
00:17:26,086 --> 00:17:28,589
I can't do it with
someone unless I have,
404
00:17:28,589 --> 00:17:30,466
or can manufacture, objectivity.
405
00:17:30,507 --> 00:17:32,718
You weren't objective about Axe.
406
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,636
[scoffs] Yeah,
not so hype about his name
407
00:17:34,678 --> 00:17:37,639
coming out of your mouth.
There's no need for that.
408
00:17:37,681 --> 00:17:39,933
And how I felt about
him has nothing to do with
409
00:17:39,933 --> 00:17:42,186
how I feel about you. I...
410
00:17:42,186 --> 00:17:43,854
well,
I didn't resent or hate him.
411
00:17:43,896 --> 00:17:46,148
Hate? Ouch. Hate feels extreme.
412
00:17:46,190 --> 00:17:48,067
How else should your
prisoners think of you?
413
00:17:48,067 --> 00:17:49,568
You're not a prisoner.
414
00:17:49,568 --> 00:17:51,403
You signed an
employment contract.
415
00:17:51,403 --> 00:17:53,822
So did a certain musical
genius you share a name with.
416
00:17:53,864 --> 00:17:56,658
Didn't stop him from
writing "slave" on his face.
417
00:17:56,700 --> 00:17:58,077
Technically, once he did that,
418
00:17:58,118 --> 00:17:59,953
he was The Artist
Formerly Known as Prince.
419
00:17:59,995 --> 00:18:01,914
And, look,
I bargained for your services,
420
00:18:01,914 --> 00:18:03,707
but I would never keep
you here against your will.
421
00:18:03,707 --> 00:18:05,918
So I can leave and
work at another fund?
422
00:18:05,918 --> 00:18:07,795
Oh,
we're not there yet. You leaving?
423
00:18:07,836 --> 00:18:10,422
We're still getting
to know each other.
424
00:18:13,967 --> 00:18:15,594
Investors are
clamoring for a meeting.
425
00:18:15,636 --> 00:18:17,221
- Which ones?
- All of 'em.
426
00:18:17,221 --> 00:18:19,598
I'm holding them at bay,
but you've got to give them
427
00:18:19,598 --> 00:18:20,974
the new manifesto
by the end of the week
428
00:18:20,974 --> 00:18:23,894
or they're going to
peel off. En masse.
429
00:18:23,894 --> 00:18:25,771
Should we sound
him out about it?
430
00:18:25,813 --> 00:18:28,023
I just don't see the point.
431
00:18:28,023 --> 00:18:30,109
So you've said,
but the institutional knowledge--
432
00:18:30,109 --> 00:18:32,820
So you've said. But
isn't he someone who's
433
00:18:32,820 --> 00:18:34,363
stuck around too long, like...
434
00:18:34,363 --> 00:18:35,781
Hit me with a ref.
435
00:18:35,823 --> 00:18:38,075
Like Jan-Michael
Vincent in Hangfire.
436
00:18:38,117 --> 00:18:39,201
I'll have to trust you.
437
00:18:39,243 --> 00:18:40,911
Believe me, it wasn't pretty.
438
00:18:40,953 --> 00:18:42,913
Even if I wanted
to get rid of him,
439
00:18:42,955 --> 00:18:44,456
- the buyout makes it--
- Popping a zit
440
00:18:44,498 --> 00:18:46,458
is painful for a moment.
But then, you're blemish-free.
441
00:18:46,458 --> 00:18:48,961
Yeah. If it cost me 80
million bucks to pop a zit.
442
00:18:48,961 --> 00:18:50,838
You sound a little
sorry we made the call.
443
00:18:50,838 --> 00:18:52,548
- So we make him want to quit?
- He has to.
444
00:18:52,589 --> 00:18:55,843
Or has to get fired for cause
for us to get out of the deal.
445
00:18:55,884 --> 00:18:58,137
He'll get the idea
without us doing anything,
446
00:18:58,178 --> 00:19:00,973
as soon as he sees he has
no influence here anymore,
447
00:19:00,973 --> 00:19:03,767
no portfolio, no life.
448
00:19:13,485 --> 00:19:15,195
Why do you want to give
me this only to take it back
449
00:19:15,195 --> 00:19:17,114
after you fire me
at the end of the day
450
00:19:17,114 --> 00:19:19,741
or week or whenever it
is in your calendar for?
451
00:19:19,783 --> 00:19:21,910
There's no date for that
in the calendar right now.
452
00:19:21,910 --> 00:19:23,745
Your institutional knowledge--
453
00:19:23,787 --> 00:19:25,706
If you shitcan me before
you hear everyone out,
454
00:19:25,706 --> 00:19:27,249
you think there'll be a revolt.
455
00:19:27,249 --> 00:19:29,835
- We aren't rushing anything.
- Uh-huh.
456
00:19:29,835 --> 00:19:31,587
When do we charge this puppy?
457
00:19:31,587 --> 00:19:32,713
Self-charging.
458
00:19:32,754 --> 00:19:33,839
You wear it 24/7.
459
00:19:33,839 --> 00:19:36,383
To bed. When you work out.
460
00:19:49,229 --> 00:19:51,815
They put drones on our fingers,
people,
461
00:19:51,815 --> 00:19:53,483
to watch our every move.
462
00:19:53,483 --> 00:19:55,694
Grip 'em and rip 'em!
463
00:19:55,694 --> 00:19:57,279
It's always the
fucking nice guys.
464
00:19:57,279 --> 00:19:58,947
Is there GPS on this thing too?
465
00:19:58,989 --> 00:20:00,449
I like the ring,
but not how he did it.
466
00:20:00,490 --> 00:20:03,118
Invasion of goddamned
privacy is what it is.
467
00:20:03,118 --> 00:20:04,286
Spying on us?
468
00:20:04,328 --> 00:20:06,496
We can't have
invaded your privacy.
469
00:20:06,496 --> 00:20:07,831
You invited us in.
470
00:20:07,873 --> 00:20:09,166
Each of you gave permission
when you launched the app
471
00:20:09,166 --> 00:20:10,709
and clicked agree.
472
00:20:10,709 --> 00:20:12,127
Everyone always
just clicks agree.
473
00:20:12,127 --> 00:20:14,504
- You tricked us!
- [Taylor] Not everyone, Tuk.
474
00:20:14,546 --> 00:20:17,132
I put mine on my dog's
collar the night we got 'em.
475
00:20:17,174 --> 00:20:19,134
[Rian] I paid a marathoner
friend of mine to wear it.
476
00:20:19,134 --> 00:20:22,304
- Forty-four BPM, baby!
- You should've told us.
477
00:20:22,346 --> 00:20:25,849
Those tech geeks only
care about themselves.
478
00:20:25,891 --> 00:20:26,934
Not even.
479
00:20:26,934 --> 00:20:29,436
It's each for his own
from here on out.
480
00:20:33,232 --> 00:20:34,983
Shouldn't you get
in the middle of this?
481
00:20:35,025 --> 00:20:37,945
it's good for
them to let it out.
482
00:20:44,952 --> 00:20:45,869
[sighs]
483
00:20:45,911 --> 00:20:47,788
- [knocks]
- Hello?
484
00:20:47,829 --> 00:20:49,498
[Mayor] Come on in.
485
00:20:49,498 --> 00:20:50,666
Mr. Mayor, I'm--
486
00:20:50,707 --> 00:20:52,042
I know who you are.
487
00:20:52,084 --> 00:20:54,795
Word went around when
you bought your land for your...
488
00:20:54,836 --> 00:20:55,921
sabbatical.
489
00:20:55,921 --> 00:20:57,005
[laughs]
490
00:20:57,047 --> 00:20:58,257
Not a sabbatical.
491
00:20:58,257 --> 00:20:59,758
Just... still the AG.
492
00:20:59,758 --> 00:21:02,135
Just working from
the farm for a while.
493
00:21:02,177 --> 00:21:03,971
The air out here, you know?
494
00:21:04,012 --> 00:21:05,138
The clarity.
495
00:21:05,180 --> 00:21:08,308
What matters becomes clear.
496
00:21:08,308 --> 00:21:10,560
What are you working on there,
a buck tail?
497
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:11,436
Moose May.
498
00:21:11,478 --> 00:21:13,563
Blackfly season's
brutal around here.
499
00:21:13,563 --> 00:21:16,984
Least I can do is land
some trout thanks to 'em.
500
00:21:16,984 --> 00:21:18,735
[chuckles]
501
00:21:19,569 --> 00:21:21,571
Mr. Mayor,
502
00:21:21,613 --> 00:21:25,575
how is it a resident can
fire off military-grade,
503
00:21:25,617 --> 00:21:27,119
albeit antique, weaponry?
504
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,080
Ah,
you're talking about Melville Revere,
505
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,416
a prominent and
beloved resident.
506
00:21:32,457 --> 00:21:36,003
Well, having commemorative
cannonry isn't a violation
507
00:21:36,003 --> 00:21:37,838
of the National Firearms Act.
508
00:21:37,838 --> 00:21:39,423
It is if it's operational.
509
00:21:39,464 --> 00:21:42,301
Well,
he also has a state firearms license.
510
00:21:42,301 --> 00:21:44,886
He's a wealthy man
with lots of lawyers
511
00:21:44,886 --> 00:21:47,556
and "friends in high places,"
as they say.
512
00:21:47,597 --> 00:21:52,311
And he has a special waiver
from the ATF to use them.
513
00:21:52,311 --> 00:21:55,689
Imagine a private
citizen with all that.
514
00:21:55,689 --> 00:21:57,357
Mr. Rhoades, you should know,
515
00:21:57,357 --> 00:21:59,234
Stony Gorge is a quiet hamlet.
516
00:21:59,234 --> 00:22:02,654
It'd be a hell of a lot quieter
without all that ordnance.
517
00:22:03,196 --> 00:22:05,532
We mind our own business here.
518
00:22:06,199 --> 00:22:08,785
Town has learned
to live with it.
519
00:22:08,785 --> 00:22:10,954
I suggest you do too.
520
00:22:13,665 --> 00:22:15,876
[snipping]
521
00:22:42,235 --> 00:22:44,905
Allow me to stand a
round of John Barleycorn
522
00:22:44,946 --> 00:22:46,740
for my new friends
and neighbors.
523
00:22:46,782 --> 00:22:48,658
- [man] Hear, hear.
- Thanks.
524
00:22:48,658 --> 00:22:50,369
Hmm-hmm.
525
00:22:51,995 --> 00:22:53,747
Great.
526
00:23:00,087 --> 00:23:02,631
[exhales]
527
00:23:02,672 --> 00:23:04,508
[soft chuckles]
528
00:23:05,258 --> 00:23:06,593
Is it just me,
529
00:23:06,593 --> 00:23:09,137
or does it feel like
we're living in a war zone
530
00:23:09,137 --> 00:23:11,765
around here at dawn and dusk?
531
00:23:16,895 --> 00:23:18,730
Ah. I guess he's, uh,
532
00:23:18,730 --> 00:23:20,399
one of your own,
533
00:23:20,399 --> 00:23:22,150
so you hold him close.
534
00:23:22,192 --> 00:23:24,236
What he is, is a stuck-up prick.
535
00:23:24,277 --> 00:23:25,654
[all laugh]
536
00:23:25,654 --> 00:23:26,947
Well, I know this:
537
00:23:26,947 --> 00:23:29,116
If anyone else was
firing field artillery,
538
00:23:29,116 --> 00:23:30,909
he'd be locked up.
539
00:23:30,909 --> 00:23:32,369
So how's he getting a free pass?
540
00:23:32,411 --> 00:23:36,373
Fire department needed a
new ladder truck last year.
541
00:23:36,415 --> 00:23:37,666
Guess who bought it?
542
00:23:37,666 --> 00:23:39,584
Police department needs new gear,
he ponies up.
543
00:23:39,584 --> 00:23:42,337
- Same with the Little League.
- And with the Boy Scouts.
544
00:23:42,379 --> 00:23:44,297
No one will line up against him.
545
00:23:44,339 --> 00:23:45,507
It's too dangerous.
546
00:23:45,549 --> 00:23:47,801
- And could cost too much.
- Hmm-hmm.
547
00:23:47,843 --> 00:23:50,762
So he's buying indulgences.
548
00:23:50,762 --> 00:23:52,639
Yeah, but he pays in cash.
549
00:23:53,765 --> 00:23:55,100
[scoffs]
550
00:24:02,482 --> 00:24:04,860
I'd really love Chuck to
have a look at my opening.
551
00:24:04,901 --> 00:24:06,069
I'll take a look at it.
552
00:24:06,069 --> 00:24:08,280
My judge,
he worked for Chuck. Can he--
553
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,282
I know him from
Southern. I'll touch base.
554
00:24:10,282 --> 00:24:12,742
I'm handling all matters, Chuck.
555
00:24:17,622 --> 00:24:19,166
[sighs]
556
00:24:21,042 --> 00:24:23,128
Okay. Now I need to
do some real listening.
557
00:24:23,170 --> 00:24:25,380
To you. Bottom-line it.
558
00:24:25,380 --> 00:24:26,882
Biggest issue.
559
00:24:26,882 --> 00:24:28,383
You have investors who are wary.
560
00:24:28,383 --> 00:24:31,094
You're a long-hold player in a
high-vol game all of a sudden.
561
00:24:31,136 --> 00:24:32,637
They'll get more
and more restless
562
00:24:32,679 --> 00:24:34,973
as you find your footing in
this hedge fund landscape.
563
00:24:35,015 --> 00:24:36,183
In order to keep the investors,
564
00:24:36,183 --> 00:24:37,309
we need to win the employees.
565
00:24:37,309 --> 00:24:39,060
Right. Which,
I think, is in motion
566
00:24:39,102 --> 00:24:41,104
to the extent that we
know how to reach them.
567
00:24:41,104 --> 00:24:43,106
But neither of us yet have
rhythm with this bunch.
568
00:24:43,148 --> 00:24:44,524
Not our kind of folks,
on the face of it.
569
00:24:44,566 --> 00:24:46,693
- But in this game--
- They are the best.
570
00:24:46,693 --> 00:24:48,945
Which is what the
investors count on.
571
00:24:48,945 --> 00:24:50,197
But the way they've
always done it
572
00:24:50,197 --> 00:24:51,656
puts us at risk going forward.
573
00:24:51,656 --> 00:24:54,910
As discussed,
we won't allow that stuff to happen.
574
00:24:54,910 --> 00:24:56,036
Correct.
575
00:24:56,077 --> 00:24:57,496
And I've tasked the back
office with yanking out
576
00:24:57,537 --> 00:24:59,664
the odd remaining bad
tooth to turn over to the SEC
577
00:24:59,664 --> 00:25:02,083
so the new company
can start fresh
578
00:25:02,125 --> 00:25:03,168
and with trust.
579
00:25:03,168 --> 00:25:04,419
Because the place as-is,
580
00:25:04,461 --> 00:25:06,671
the Commission's
not gonna like it.
581
00:25:09,174 --> 00:25:11,843
Speaking of bad teeth.
582
00:25:14,012 --> 00:25:16,806
We need a full
compliance report.
583
00:25:18,016 --> 00:25:19,809
Can do.
584
00:25:19,809 --> 00:25:22,896
But once I hand it over,
585
00:25:22,896 --> 00:25:25,690
you're in it, responsible.
586
00:25:25,690 --> 00:25:26,441
[laughs]
587
00:25:26,441 --> 00:25:27,984
That's how it has to be.
588
00:25:28,026 --> 00:25:29,402
What's this?
589
00:25:29,444 --> 00:25:32,572
This is a little filing system
that I've just implemented
590
00:25:32,572 --> 00:25:33,823
to separate out our trades
591
00:25:33,865 --> 00:25:37,494
based on how far over
the line of securities law
592
00:25:37,494 --> 00:25:38,620
each transaction was.
593
00:25:38,620 --> 00:25:41,248
You know we need
a little red meat
594
00:25:41,289 --> 00:25:42,415
to throw the SEC,
595
00:25:42,415 --> 00:25:44,334
something so they
know we're committed
596
00:25:44,376 --> 00:25:46,545
to being a clean operation.
597
00:25:47,254 --> 00:25:50,590
Then this is your meat locker.
598
00:25:55,470 --> 00:25:57,389
All that...
599
00:25:57,430 --> 00:25:59,683
is dirty?
600
00:26:07,983 --> 00:26:10,277
[door opens]
601
00:26:10,277 --> 00:26:12,279
[door closes]
602
00:26:16,324 --> 00:26:18,535
Got those books you asked for.
603
00:26:18,577 --> 00:26:21,204
Also a bunch of stuff from
the office for you to look over.
604
00:26:21,246 --> 00:26:24,165
You handle it. Better for
your development that way.
605
00:26:24,207 --> 00:26:25,292
Uh-huh.
606
00:26:25,292 --> 00:26:26,668
- I think I'm developed.
- Hmm. [chuckles]
607
00:26:26,710 --> 00:26:29,296
The line troops would
love to hear from you.
608
00:26:29,296 --> 00:26:30,547
Whenever your sabbatical--
609
00:26:30,589 --> 00:26:32,340
Nope, not a sabbatical.
610
00:26:32,382 --> 00:26:34,342
This clean air gets
a person thinking.
611
00:26:34,342 --> 00:26:36,886
- That's what I'm doing.
- Okay.
612
00:26:36,886 --> 00:26:39,347
I will handle the work
stuff while you think.
613
00:26:39,389 --> 00:26:40,765
How long do you imagine--
614
00:26:40,807 --> 00:26:43,602
Until I figure out how to
actually get something done
615
00:26:43,602 --> 00:26:46,646
from that chair behind my desk.
616
00:26:46,688 --> 00:26:48,106
You've known me a long time,
617
00:26:48,106 --> 00:26:50,066
and you know I
don't shy from battle.
618
00:26:50,066 --> 00:26:51,818
But pointless battle?
619
00:26:51,818 --> 00:26:52,777
It's not my jam.
620
00:26:52,777 --> 00:26:55,071
Neither is losing,
being thwarted,
621
00:26:55,071 --> 00:26:56,531
or spitting into the wind.
622
00:26:56,531 --> 00:26:57,741
So, I'll be back
623
00:26:57,782 --> 00:27:00,994
when I see a road to
victory. And likely not sooner.
624
00:27:03,997 --> 00:27:05,832
- I'll get to it.
- No. Later.
625
00:27:05,832 --> 00:27:08,585
First you can stay and
have some hunter's stew.
626
00:27:08,627 --> 00:27:10,629
Nah, not in my diet.
627
00:27:10,629 --> 00:27:12,422
Have a seat, Ms. Sacker.
628
00:27:12,422 --> 00:27:15,008
You can pick around the meat...
629
00:27:15,050 --> 00:27:17,344
and I could use the company.
630
00:27:30,357 --> 00:27:32,275
[iron squealing]
631
00:27:32,317 --> 00:27:35,028
[mechanism groaning]
632
00:27:38,073 --> 00:27:40,784
[water rushing]
633
00:27:57,884 --> 00:28:01,221
Email just hit from
Melville Revere.
634
00:28:01,221 --> 00:28:02,263
I know the name.
635
00:28:02,305 --> 00:28:04,307
Investor we inherited
from Axe Cap.
636
00:28:04,349 --> 00:28:05,558
Oh.
637
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:09,688
Mr. Revere's cannonballs
and gunpowder got wet?
638
00:28:09,688 --> 00:28:11,648
The shed where he stores
his ammo was flooded
639
00:28:11,690 --> 00:28:13,441
by a stream he
shares with a neighbor,
640
00:28:13,441 --> 00:28:15,485
so he couldn't fire
off his morning blast.
641
00:28:15,527 --> 00:28:18,029
Not a phrase I use often,
but... white people problems.
642
00:28:18,029 --> 00:28:20,532
Truly. And why does he
think our little depository
643
00:28:20,573 --> 00:28:22,450
can help with this
particular problem?
644
00:28:22,492 --> 00:28:23,702
His neighbor is Chuck Rhoades.
645
00:28:23,702 --> 00:28:25,745
Revere thinks
Rhoades flooded him.
646
00:28:25,745 --> 00:28:27,497
And he knows Wendy works here.
647
00:28:27,539 --> 00:28:29,708
He thought the
ex-wife would step in?
648
00:28:29,708 --> 00:28:30,917
Talk sense into Chuck?
649
00:28:30,917 --> 00:28:32,711
He thought that since
we manage his money,
650
00:28:32,752 --> 00:28:34,421
there might be incentive in that direction,
yes.
651
00:28:34,462 --> 00:28:35,797
Did Wendy feel so incentivized?
652
00:28:35,839 --> 00:28:38,425
You know how in, like,
old Andy Capp cartoons
653
00:28:38,425 --> 00:28:39,718
when the character curses?
654
00:28:39,718 --> 00:28:42,595
She let out a stream of
pound signs and asterisks?
655
00:28:42,637 --> 00:28:43,596
And alphasands.
656
00:28:43,596 --> 00:28:44,723
What we now call the "at" sign.
657
00:28:44,723 --> 00:28:46,015
The verbal equivalent.
658
00:28:46,015 --> 00:28:46,975
Nice.
659
00:28:47,016 --> 00:28:47,976
Here's the not-nice.
660
00:28:48,017 --> 00:28:50,353
We have to help Revere
deal with Chuck Rhoades.
661
00:28:50,395 --> 00:28:52,021
- You do.
- I'd rather not.
662
00:28:52,021 --> 00:28:53,273
No, of course not.
663
00:28:53,273 --> 00:28:54,691
But we need the
story going around that
664
00:28:54,691 --> 00:28:56,735
we are satisfying our investors.
665
00:28:56,776 --> 00:28:58,278
Going the extra mile or two.
666
00:28:58,278 --> 00:28:59,446
Now is the opportunity for us
667
00:28:59,446 --> 00:29:01,239
to get positive word
of mouth flowing.
668
00:29:01,281 --> 00:29:02,157
I'd do it, but...
669
00:29:02,198 --> 00:29:04,451
you'll do it better.
670
00:29:05,285 --> 00:29:07,245
Alphasand.
671
00:29:20,717 --> 00:29:24,429
Look at you,
out here in the fenland and fields.
672
00:29:28,475 --> 00:29:30,685
So,
you've become a modern day Cincinnatus,
673
00:29:30,685 --> 00:29:34,564
leaving matters of
the state for the plow.
674
00:29:34,564 --> 00:29:36,149
I merely needed a break.
675
00:29:36,191 --> 00:29:38,651
A recharge.
676
00:29:38,651 --> 00:29:42,989
I imagine you feel there's
unfinished business with me.
677
00:29:42,989 --> 00:29:44,949
But I'm unlike the man
who came before me.
678
00:29:44,949 --> 00:29:46,701
I will never give
you a legal opening
679
00:29:46,743 --> 00:29:49,329
because I do not break the law.
680
00:29:49,329 --> 00:29:51,664
Billionaires break
the laws of decency,
681
00:29:51,664 --> 00:29:54,459
even while obeying the letter.
682
00:29:54,501 --> 00:29:58,338
By definition,
having that much is criminal.
683
00:29:59,172 --> 00:30:01,716
A point much open to debate.
684
00:30:01,758 --> 00:30:03,468
But I can be your ally.
685
00:30:05,804 --> 00:30:08,431
I know I owe you a
debt. I'm aware of that.
686
00:30:08,473 --> 00:30:10,600
But you should be
aware that I am good,
687
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,812
very good, at settling scores.
688
00:30:13,812 --> 00:30:15,730
And what have you come to ask,
689
00:30:15,730 --> 00:30:18,191
in order to deepen that debt?
690
00:30:19,567 --> 00:30:21,903
Melville Revere.
691
00:30:21,945 --> 00:30:23,404
Oof.
692
00:30:23,404 --> 00:30:25,615
Disagreeable sort.
693
00:30:25,657 --> 00:30:28,117
Entitled in a way
I've long tolerated,
694
00:30:28,117 --> 00:30:29,285
but no longer can.
695
00:30:29,285 --> 00:30:30,954
All the same, I'd appreciate it
696
00:30:30,995 --> 00:30:33,039
if you left him alone,
spared him further harassment.
697
00:30:33,039 --> 00:30:34,707
He's a Michael
Prince Capital investor,
698
00:30:34,749 --> 00:30:36,668
and as such,
I'd hate to see him in court
699
00:30:36,668 --> 00:30:38,461
on the other end of
one of your actions.
700
00:30:38,461 --> 00:30:40,338
Wouldn't look
good for you or me.
701
00:30:40,338 --> 00:30:42,465
Why not good for me, Michael?
702
00:30:42,465 --> 00:30:44,592
I mean,
you'd be coming after a place that manages
703
00:30:44,634 --> 00:30:45,844
your father's money.
704
00:30:45,885 --> 00:30:47,011
Good chunk of it, anyway.
705
00:30:47,053 --> 00:30:50,390
He left it in after
Axelrod took off.
706
00:30:52,350 --> 00:30:53,476
[chuckles]
707
00:30:53,476 --> 00:30:54,644
But, sure, worse for me.
708
00:30:54,686 --> 00:30:59,107
Because when it comes
to Michael Prince Capital,
709
00:30:59,148 --> 00:31:01,359
I need it to be--
710
00:31:01,401 --> 00:31:02,861
I need to be
711
00:31:02,861 --> 00:31:05,405
reputationally pristine.
712
00:31:05,405 --> 00:31:08,199
[cannons firing]
713
00:31:13,580 --> 00:31:16,332
[cannons continue firing]
714
00:31:17,584 --> 00:31:21,880
I find myself
unwilling to help you.
715
00:31:21,921 --> 00:31:25,383
And when it comes to your client,
Revere...
716
00:31:25,884 --> 00:31:27,468
you hold his money,
717
00:31:27,510 --> 00:31:29,929
you hold the whole bag.
718
00:31:32,098 --> 00:31:34,809
It's not Cincinnatus you're
fashioning yourself after,
719
00:31:34,851 --> 00:31:35,977
I get that now.
720
00:31:36,019 --> 00:31:37,896
It's more Manius
Curius Dentatus.
721
00:31:37,937 --> 00:31:40,815
"I see no glory in
having money myself,
722
00:31:40,857 --> 00:31:43,693
but in commanding
those that do."
723
00:31:43,735 --> 00:31:46,446
[sighs]
724
00:31:47,697 --> 00:31:50,283
I'm less interested
in speaking Latin
725
00:31:50,325 --> 00:31:52,285
than in speaking the truth.
726
00:31:54,579 --> 00:31:56,456
Safe travels.
727
00:31:58,583 --> 00:32:01,502
[Senior panting]
728
00:32:01,544 --> 00:32:02,712
You outta breath?
729
00:32:02,754 --> 00:32:04,839
Walking and talking.
730
00:32:04,881 --> 00:32:07,300
[slowly] Walking...
731
00:32:07,342 --> 00:32:09,802
and talking.
732
00:32:09,844 --> 00:32:11,262
Rolling calls.
733
00:32:11,262 --> 00:32:12,347
[scoffs]
734
00:32:12,388 --> 00:32:13,890
What do you want, Sonny?
735
00:32:13,932 --> 00:32:15,433
Who are you talking to?
736
00:32:15,475 --> 00:32:16,601
You, Sonny.
737
00:32:16,601 --> 00:32:18,311
Why, I'm talking to you.
738
00:32:18,353 --> 00:32:19,896
Well, that's right.
739
00:32:19,896 --> 00:32:21,439
Only you're listening.
740
00:32:21,481 --> 00:32:22,732
And what you need to hear is
741
00:32:22,732 --> 00:32:24,943
take your money out of
Michael Prince Capital.
742
00:32:24,984 --> 00:32:27,362
Oh, that fella is sharp.
743
00:32:27,403 --> 00:32:29,405
Of mind and body.
744
00:32:29,447 --> 00:32:30,615
And I'm riding along
745
00:32:30,615 --> 00:32:34,160
expecting some sweet returns.
746
00:32:34,702 --> 00:32:37,163
But thanks for checking in.
747
00:32:43,962 --> 00:32:46,881
It really is ideal habitat.
748
00:32:46,881 --> 00:32:48,841
But I don't see any
evidence of actual habitation.
749
00:32:48,841 --> 00:32:52,261
Mm-hmm. Ah, ah. Look. Look it.
750
00:32:53,638 --> 00:32:55,223
Now look.
751
00:32:55,223 --> 00:32:58,017
Those are shell fragments
from his cannonballs.
752
00:32:58,017 --> 00:33:00,979
Could this have
something to do with it?
753
00:33:00,979 --> 00:33:03,231
It could, but who knows?
754
00:33:03,231 --> 00:33:06,401
There just aren't any
bog turtles in this area--
755
00:33:06,401 --> 00:33:08,277
[vehicle approaching]
756
00:33:08,319 --> 00:33:09,445
Hey, hey.
757
00:33:09,487 --> 00:33:12,782
Hey, hold it right there,
all right?
758
00:33:12,824 --> 00:33:14,951
- This is private property.
- For sure.
759
00:33:14,993 --> 00:33:16,744
I'm the neighbor. My
property's right over there.
760
00:33:16,744 --> 00:33:18,621
Sir,
I'm well familiar with the property line,
761
00:33:18,663 --> 00:33:19,872
and you're over it.
762
00:33:19,872 --> 00:33:20,999
Kindly return to your own land,
763
00:33:20,999 --> 00:33:22,667
or the authorities
will be called,
764
00:33:22,667 --> 00:33:24,711
and Mr. Revere
will press charges.
765
00:33:24,752 --> 00:33:25,962
Copy. Roger that.
766
00:33:26,004 --> 00:33:28,047
Gotcha. Sure thing.
767
00:33:28,047 --> 00:33:31,009
Will do and a
pleasure talking to you.
768
00:33:36,055 --> 00:33:37,974
So tell me about the projects
near and dear to your heart
769
00:33:38,016 --> 00:33:41,561
that could use a little
funding thrown behind them.
770
00:33:46,315 --> 00:33:47,525
[clears throat]
771
00:33:47,567 --> 00:33:50,361
Just back from what I call,
772
00:33:50,361 --> 00:33:52,864
"El Commish," the SEC,
773
00:33:52,905 --> 00:33:54,407
and thanks to my magie--
774
00:33:54,407 --> 00:33:55,950
Glad you sent me with him.
775
00:33:55,992 --> 00:33:57,326
It wasn't that easy.
776
00:33:57,368 --> 00:33:59,162
They slapped us with a
six-month probationary period
777
00:33:59,203 --> 00:34:01,998
due to red-flagged ongoing
business from before,
778
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,667
especially with ongoing
investors still aboard.
779
00:34:04,709 --> 00:34:06,377
They want to send a message.
780
00:34:06,377 --> 00:34:07,587
But like I was saying,
781
00:34:07,587 --> 00:34:10,048
thanks to my magie,
there were no fines
782
00:34:10,089 --> 00:34:13,426
or sanctions,
merely a brief interlude--
783
00:34:13,426 --> 00:34:14,635
Unacceptable.
784
00:34:14,635 --> 00:34:16,512
If we want the Street,
the financial press,
785
00:34:16,554 --> 00:34:18,014
and the investors
to stay with us,
786
00:34:18,014 --> 00:34:20,016
we need to be clean.
Beyond reproach.
787
00:34:20,058 --> 00:34:21,684
[Wags] Hey,
one thing I've learned:
788
00:34:21,684 --> 00:34:23,186
no one, especially investors,
789
00:34:23,227 --> 00:34:25,021
gives crap number
one about any of this.
790
00:34:25,063 --> 00:34:27,273
They just want to know their
returns are Street-leading.
791
00:34:27,273 --> 00:34:28,983
They might say they
care about ethics,
792
00:34:29,025 --> 00:34:31,569
but as long as the SEC
lets us keep the lights on
793
00:34:31,611 --> 00:34:32,695
and we keep the numbers up,
794
00:34:32,737 --> 00:34:34,447
in terms that you
would understand,
795
00:34:34,447 --> 00:34:36,240
it's like Tarkanian in Vegas.
796
00:34:38,159 --> 00:34:39,702
Did you tell him
to use that line?
797
00:34:39,744 --> 00:34:42,580
No. He must be doing
some reading on the outside.
798
00:34:42,622 --> 00:34:43,873
But his point still stands.
799
00:34:43,915 --> 00:34:46,292
Investors just want wins.
800
00:34:50,046 --> 00:34:53,049
If you won't do the full-fat,
full-protein version,
801
00:34:53,091 --> 00:34:56,385
gimme at least some
leaned-down coaching on a specific.
802
00:34:56,427 --> 00:34:58,387
Business. Not personal.
803
00:34:58,387 --> 00:34:59,806
I am getting paid.
804
00:34:59,806 --> 00:35:01,599
And that is the job for which.
805
00:35:01,641 --> 00:35:03,059
So... yeah.
806
00:35:03,101 --> 00:35:05,895
I need to get to the right
decision and approach.
807
00:35:05,895 --> 00:35:07,230
Here's the fact pattern.
808
00:35:07,271 --> 00:35:09,774
Michael Prince Capital
is not off to a banner start.
809
00:35:09,816 --> 00:35:12,318
Morale ain't great
here at the moment.
810
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:13,528
And the culture--
811
00:35:13,569 --> 00:35:15,279
The legacy culture
is even worse.
812
00:35:15,321 --> 00:35:18,991
Now codified by a
regulatory black eye.
813
00:35:18,991 --> 00:35:20,868
And the clients.
814
00:35:20,910 --> 00:35:22,328
How do I keep
'em rolling with me
815
00:35:22,370 --> 00:35:24,580
when I can't even spin
to the group of people
816
00:35:24,622 --> 00:35:25,832
showing up here each day?
817
00:35:25,873 --> 00:35:28,084
What if you tack with
the prevailing winds?
818
00:35:28,126 --> 00:35:30,795
And don't try to
stay big or get bigger.
819
00:35:30,837 --> 00:35:32,130
At first.
820
00:35:32,171 --> 00:35:34,841
Shrink capital under
management? Is that what you're--
821
00:35:34,841 --> 00:35:36,801
You have a move that
bold in your arsenal?
822
00:35:36,843 --> 00:35:39,679
I don't know. It's not the
house number in this racket.
823
00:35:39,720 --> 00:35:41,013
Sure isn't.
824
00:35:41,013 --> 00:35:42,807
But what if we weren't
attached to the way
825
00:35:42,807 --> 00:35:44,433
it's always been done?
826
00:35:44,433 --> 00:35:46,727
Or to the results.
827
00:35:46,727 --> 00:35:48,855
Or to the feeling we get from
828
00:35:48,855 --> 00:35:49,856
having the most.
829
00:35:49,856 --> 00:35:51,774
What if we detach from all that?
830
00:35:51,774 --> 00:35:53,901
And instead think about...
831
00:35:53,943 --> 00:35:57,488
the process,
the holistic form of the place.
832
00:36:02,994 --> 00:36:06,664
What would be the final
goal of something like that?
833
00:36:13,671 --> 00:36:15,464
[grunts]
834
00:36:16,257 --> 00:36:19,051
When things reach
their ideal Platonic form,
835
00:36:19,093 --> 00:36:21,053
they tend to function well.
836
00:36:21,053 --> 00:36:23,514
And the endpoint reveals itself.
837
00:36:24,891 --> 00:36:26,726
If you don't like the legacy,
838
00:36:26,726 --> 00:36:28,853
change out everything
from that legacy.
839
00:36:28,853 --> 00:36:30,438
I'm still just
trying to figure out
840
00:36:30,438 --> 00:36:32,982
the right investment
approach given the parameters
841
00:36:33,024 --> 00:36:34,192
of the world right now.
842
00:36:34,192 --> 00:36:35,860
And our need to
color inside the lines.
843
00:36:35,902 --> 00:36:39,238
Maybe for the first time
in the history of this place.
844
00:36:40,323 --> 00:36:42,074
If you have investment problems,
845
00:36:42,074 --> 00:36:43,910
talk to your best
investment professional.
846
00:36:43,910 --> 00:36:45,203
I believe I tried.
847
00:36:45,203 --> 00:36:46,996
Believe they didn't seem
interested in talking to me.
848
00:36:47,038 --> 00:36:48,956
What if it were their beliefs
you needed to change?
849
00:36:48,956 --> 00:36:52,126
About who you are,
about the lengths you're willing to go.
850
00:36:52,168 --> 00:36:54,462
And what if you were
able to show them
851
00:36:54,503 --> 00:36:58,382
what happens when someone
doesn't do it your way?
852
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:02,720
That's advanced.
853
00:37:10,061 --> 00:37:12,813
I finally figured out how
you can be of utility to me.
854
00:37:12,813 --> 00:37:15,316
Ah, my life's dream, fulfilled.
855
00:37:15,358 --> 00:37:18,986
You are sassier than Claudia
Conway on Mother's Day.
856
00:37:18,986 --> 00:37:20,613
Okay.
857
00:37:20,613 --> 00:37:21,864
We haven't done the dance yet.
858
00:37:21,864 --> 00:37:25,076
I guess this is
us about to do it.
859
00:37:25,117 --> 00:37:27,119
I'm your object lesson to them,
huh?
860
00:37:27,161 --> 00:37:31,207
Shitcan my ass,
they get scared and get 'er done for you.
861
00:37:31,207 --> 00:37:32,750
This was never gonna work.
862
00:37:32,792 --> 00:37:35,127
But I'm not going
to pay you in full.
863
00:37:35,169 --> 00:37:37,797
Axe may have set a
booby trap with your deal--
864
00:37:37,838 --> 00:37:39,173
[laughs] Oh, he did.
865
00:37:39,173 --> 00:37:40,549
He rigged a real Bouncing Betty.
866
00:37:40,549 --> 00:37:43,010
$80 million dollars after
the sale upon my firing.
867
00:37:43,010 --> 00:37:45,513
So if you are here with a pink slip,
I accept.
868
00:37:45,554 --> 00:37:47,932
But nothing if you quit
or get fired for cause.
869
00:37:47,932 --> 00:37:49,267
Which is why I'm
clocking in and out
870
00:37:49,308 --> 00:37:50,935
like I'm on the
factory floor at GM.
871
00:37:50,977 --> 00:37:52,979
And I would even pass
a piss test right now.
872
00:37:52,979 --> 00:37:54,563
Sure, I get it,
you're not gonna give us cause.
873
00:37:54,605 --> 00:37:56,440
But, by the same token,
I'm not going to do you
874
00:37:56,482 --> 00:37:58,943
the favor of firing you to
the tune of 80 million bucks.
875
00:37:58,985 --> 00:38:00,861
Why not? You can afford it.
876
00:38:00,861 --> 00:38:02,029
But not how I do business. So.
877
00:38:02,071 --> 00:38:03,990
- [slaps desk]
- Let's haggle.
878
00:38:03,990 --> 00:38:06,742
Eighty cents on the
dollar. I walk for 64.
879
00:38:06,742 --> 00:38:08,786
Ten cents on the dollar.
880
00:38:08,786 --> 00:38:09,870
Eight million?
881
00:38:09,870 --> 00:38:12,123
I wipe my ass
with eight million.
882
00:38:12,123 --> 00:38:13,916
Nine if I've had an açai bowl.
883
00:38:13,958 --> 00:38:16,127
- Seventy.
- Twenty.
884
00:38:16,127 --> 00:38:19,171
You're only succeeding at
strengthening my resolve.
885
00:38:19,213 --> 00:38:20,840
I see that.
886
00:38:22,008 --> 00:38:23,551
Look, I give you forty million.
887
00:38:23,592 --> 00:38:27,763
We're free,
but it sucks a little for both of us.
888
00:38:27,805 --> 00:38:29,807
The definition of
a real compromise.
889
00:38:29,849 --> 00:38:31,851
So, agreed?
890
00:38:37,648 --> 00:38:40,026
Oh, damn,
891
00:38:40,067 --> 00:38:42,903
this isn't really
about the money.
892
00:38:42,903 --> 00:38:44,864
You need this job.
893
00:38:44,864 --> 00:38:47,074
The place to go,
894
00:38:47,074 --> 00:38:48,659
the sense of purpose.
895
00:38:48,701 --> 00:38:50,077
Maybe it's the ticker scare,
896
00:38:50,119 --> 00:38:52,288
but I'm thinking money
isn't the main thing.
897
00:38:52,288 --> 00:38:54,874
Or maybe it's that I'm
greedier than I thought,
898
00:38:54,915 --> 00:38:57,501
and want all of it.
899
00:38:58,794 --> 00:39:01,922
But I don't think
I'm gonna settle.
900
00:39:01,922 --> 00:39:03,007
Nope.
901
00:39:03,049 --> 00:39:04,592
I'm gonna hold
out for the full pop.
902
00:39:04,633 --> 00:39:07,094
And, yes,
you could put me out to pasture and pay me,
903
00:39:07,136 --> 00:39:10,222
but here's what you don't know--
904
00:39:10,264 --> 00:39:12,058
get Scooter in here.
905
00:39:22,943 --> 00:39:25,321
Tell me what you've
learned about the team.
906
00:39:25,321 --> 00:39:28,908
Victor Mateo comes off
streetwise but went to Yale.
907
00:39:28,949 --> 00:39:31,827
Low double-digit returns
average over his career.
908
00:39:31,869 --> 00:39:33,913
Ben Kim, Stanford grad.
909
00:39:33,954 --> 00:39:35,206
Solid fundamental approach.
910
00:39:35,247 --> 00:39:36,624
Risk averse, but improving.
911
00:39:36,665 --> 00:39:40,086
Tuk Lal, close immigrant family,
overachiever.
912
00:39:40,127 --> 00:39:41,379
Bonnie Barella,
913
00:39:41,379 --> 00:39:43,506
a bit uncommitted,
has gone firm to firm--
914
00:39:43,547 --> 00:39:44,548
You done?
915
00:39:44,590 --> 00:39:47,968
Because you could get
that weak shit from LinkedIn.
916
00:39:47,968 --> 00:39:50,221
The things you don't know are,
917
00:39:50,221 --> 00:39:52,515
Victor acts like he's a
capo in the 6th Mob family
918
00:39:52,515 --> 00:39:55,434
but translates French
literature in his spare time
919
00:39:55,434 --> 00:39:57,061
and he has taken a personal vow
920
00:39:57,103 --> 00:39:58,687
never to have a down
year for his clients
921
00:39:58,687 --> 00:40:00,856
because that's how he
proves to his dead father
922
00:40:00,898 --> 00:40:03,025
he's the better man.
923
00:40:03,067 --> 00:40:04,735
Ben Kim got a perfect
score on his SATs,
924
00:40:04,735 --> 00:40:07,154
but he feels like he's the
dumb one in his family.
925
00:40:07,196 --> 00:40:09,532
His mother's alive,
but she already haunts him.
926
00:40:09,573 --> 00:40:12,785
That nice guy thing is
cloaking a giant ambition
927
00:40:12,827 --> 00:40:15,830
that needs to be unleashed.
928
00:40:15,871 --> 00:40:17,039
Tuk Lal. He tried to date
929
00:40:17,081 --> 00:40:18,916
the prettiest girl
in his high school,
930
00:40:18,958 --> 00:40:20,251
but she fucking crushed him.
931
00:40:20,251 --> 00:40:21,502
Told him he was a loser.
932
00:40:21,544 --> 00:40:23,254
He's desperately
afraid she's right,
933
00:40:23,254 --> 00:40:25,131
and won't stop until
he's rich as Gatsby
934
00:40:25,172 --> 00:40:26,298
to prove her wrong.
935
00:40:26,298 --> 00:40:28,008
And Bonnie, she is tribal.
936
00:40:28,050 --> 00:40:29,343
She hates outsiders
937
00:40:29,343 --> 00:40:32,054
and considers basically
everyone an outsider.
938
00:40:32,096 --> 00:40:33,431
But once you're in,
939
00:40:33,472 --> 00:40:36,183
you'll see that under that
pistachio shell exterior,
940
00:40:36,183 --> 00:40:37,476
she's got a giant heart,
941
00:40:37,476 --> 00:40:39,186
and she'll protect you
like a mama badger.
942
00:40:39,228 --> 00:40:41,147
Oh,
and she's terrified of ending up alone,
943
00:40:41,188 --> 00:40:43,774
which can be marshaled
to make her an earner
944
00:40:43,816 --> 00:40:45,901
of the first fucking order.
945
00:40:47,069 --> 00:40:48,612
Damn.
946
00:40:48,612 --> 00:40:49,905
Okay.
947
00:40:49,947 --> 00:40:51,824
Okay. We get the point.
948
00:40:51,824 --> 00:40:53,534
You know what moves the squad,
949
00:40:53,534 --> 00:40:55,035
what makes them rattle and hum.
950
00:40:55,035 --> 00:40:56,162
That's right.
951
00:40:56,203 --> 00:40:58,664
And also...
952
00:40:58,706 --> 00:41:00,499
Yes.
953
00:41:03,210 --> 00:41:05,337
I need this place.
954
00:41:05,379 --> 00:41:08,507
Like Gere needed OCS in Gent.
955
00:41:08,549 --> 00:41:10,926
But you fuckers need me too.
956
00:41:10,926 --> 00:41:11,927
Maybe.
957
00:41:11,969 --> 00:41:14,221
But trust is the problem.
958
00:41:14,221 --> 00:41:17,141
Oh, over time,
959
00:41:17,141 --> 00:41:19,477
I'm sure you'll earn my trust.
960
00:41:22,229 --> 00:41:24,648
They keep saying that.
961
00:41:29,612 --> 00:41:31,155
You said you wanted to see us.
962
00:41:31,155 --> 00:41:34,200
Yes, my old friends...
963
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:36,535
Listen, you motherfuckers,
964
00:41:36,577 --> 00:41:39,955
it's being said I've
outlived my utility,
965
00:41:39,997 --> 00:41:41,290
that I'm a right-hand man
966
00:41:41,332 --> 00:41:42,791
in search of a man
to be that hand to.
967
00:41:42,791 --> 00:41:45,211
But I am not done.
968
00:41:45,211 --> 00:41:46,420
I've still got some fight left,
969
00:41:46,462 --> 00:41:49,048
some money to make,
and a next act to play.
970
00:41:49,048 --> 00:41:50,341
Maybe you're all still upset
971
00:41:50,341 --> 00:41:51,926
that things aren't
like they were.
972
00:41:51,967 --> 00:41:53,844
Bwah-fucking-hah. Get over it.
973
00:41:53,844 --> 00:41:55,262
We've got a new general.
974
00:41:55,262 --> 00:41:56,597
And while I too have been burned
975
00:41:56,639 --> 00:41:58,349
by the rug pull and the spying,
976
00:41:58,390 --> 00:42:00,643
well, that worked out for me,
I guess.
977
00:42:00,684 --> 00:42:02,728
You'd better get in fucking step
978
00:42:02,770 --> 00:42:04,563
and start acting like
the mercenary army
979
00:42:04,563 --> 00:42:07,107
of professional
moneymakers that you are
980
00:42:07,107 --> 00:42:08,400
and get set to kill for him,
981
00:42:08,442 --> 00:42:10,861
or else this place
is going to turn into
982
00:42:10,861 --> 00:42:12,738
Parris Fucking Island.
983
00:42:12,738 --> 00:42:14,198
What's that--
984
00:42:14,240 --> 00:42:15,908
Look it up!
985
00:42:19,036 --> 00:42:21,539
Just having a
team-building exercise.
986
00:42:21,580 --> 00:42:25,417
Ready to start rowing in the
same fucking direction, sir.
987
00:42:25,459 --> 00:42:27,670
Excited about it!
988
00:42:27,670 --> 00:42:30,589
We're gonna need
everyone downstairs.
989
00:42:32,258 --> 00:42:34,134
I thought Sam Kinison died.
990
00:42:34,176 --> 00:42:37,721
Wags 2.0 requires
the next update.
991
00:42:40,182 --> 00:42:42,226
'Bout fucking time
someone showed
992
00:42:42,226 --> 00:42:44,103
some clankers around here.
993
00:42:44,144 --> 00:42:45,729
I'd like to welcome all of you,
994
00:42:45,771 --> 00:42:48,399
our investors who have
placed such trust in our firm
995
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:49,567
over the years.
996
00:42:49,567 --> 00:42:52,194
Even before it was
this specific firm.
997
00:42:52,236 --> 00:42:55,364
One of the things I
brought to our organization
998
00:42:55,364 --> 00:42:57,032
is a moral barometer.
999
00:42:57,074 --> 00:42:58,909
I understand that
these employees
1000
00:42:58,951 --> 00:43:00,327
give many of you comfort.
1001
00:43:00,369 --> 00:43:02,246
They've managed your money well.
1002
00:43:02,288 --> 00:43:03,497
They've grown it.
1003
00:43:03,539 --> 00:43:06,584
They've protected you
against downside exposure.
1004
00:43:06,625 --> 00:43:09,003
But things must develop
1005
00:43:09,003 --> 00:43:11,589
and evolve and change,
1006
00:43:11,589 --> 00:43:14,091
and I can no longer
allow this place to be
1007
00:43:14,091 --> 00:43:17,261
peopled with
compromised individuals.
1008
00:43:20,222 --> 00:43:21,807
Do I fire them all?
1009
00:43:23,309 --> 00:43:24,685
Start clean?
1010
00:43:24,727 --> 00:43:27,646
Even as I have made
a promise to lift them up
1011
00:43:27,688 --> 00:43:30,691
and train them in my
way of doing things?
1012
00:43:30,733 --> 00:43:33,485
Or is there another way to rebuild,
retool?
1013
00:43:33,485 --> 00:43:35,863
Another attachment to cast off?
1014
00:43:35,863 --> 00:43:38,115
I would love if there
were a different way
1015
00:43:38,115 --> 00:43:39,325
instead of firing us.
1016
00:43:39,325 --> 00:43:40,576
Why don't you shut the hell up.
1017
00:43:40,618 --> 00:43:42,536
- No.
- [Prince] None of that, Victor.
1018
00:43:42,578 --> 00:43:45,956
Enough firepower is
pointed in his direction.
1019
00:43:45,998 --> 00:43:48,459
In all of your direction.
1020
00:43:48,459 --> 00:43:49,877
And if I fired all of you,
1021
00:43:49,877 --> 00:43:51,587
but kept the incentive
structure the same,
1022
00:43:51,629 --> 00:43:54,340
the next batch of analysts
and portfolio managers
1023
00:43:54,340 --> 00:43:56,717
would end up in the
exact same place.
1024
00:43:56,759 --> 00:43:59,261
It's the root cause
that has to shift.
1025
00:43:59,261 --> 00:44:01,972
Uh, in what way, Prince?
1026
00:44:04,808 --> 00:44:07,811
Let's look at the
prevailing winds.
1027
00:44:10,981 --> 00:44:14,943
The prevailing feeling in
the country about wealth.
1028
00:44:15,694 --> 00:44:17,946
I think it's largely right.
1029
00:44:17,946 --> 00:44:19,490
Too much is concentrated
1030
00:44:19,490 --> 00:44:21,450
in the hands of too few.
1031
00:44:21,450 --> 00:44:23,452
But let's not blame
those who manage
1032
00:44:23,452 --> 00:44:24,787
that wealth for them.
1033
00:44:24,828 --> 00:44:27,665
Let's instead look to
those who profit the most.
1034
00:44:27,706 --> 00:44:29,625
As one of them,
I understand the temptation
1035
00:44:29,667 --> 00:44:31,502
more than almost anyone can.
1036
00:44:31,502 --> 00:44:32,753
And it's true.
1037
00:44:32,753 --> 00:44:35,631
Many of the wealthiest
have misused their resources.
1038
00:44:35,631 --> 00:44:38,384
Many have cut corners.
1039
00:44:39,385 --> 00:44:41,261
We will not.
1040
00:44:41,303 --> 00:44:43,138
In fact,
we won't take their money.
1041
00:44:43,138 --> 00:44:46,141
I'm not firing them,
my employees.
1042
00:44:46,141 --> 00:44:48,185
I'm firing you, my investors.
1043
00:44:48,227 --> 00:44:50,437
Which is why I've
called you all in.
1044
00:44:50,437 --> 00:44:53,190
We have checks drawn and
wire confirmations on hand
1045
00:44:53,190 --> 00:44:54,483
for your redemptions.
1046
00:44:54,525 --> 00:44:56,568
Thank you for your business,
and should you reach
1047
00:44:56,610 --> 00:44:58,654
our new standards
for ethics in business,
1048
00:44:58,696 --> 00:45:01,031
perhaps we'll meet again.
1049
00:45:02,074 --> 00:45:03,242
Mr. Rhoades.
1050
00:45:03,283 --> 00:45:05,536
This is no mark
against your character.
1051
00:45:05,577 --> 00:45:07,830
But I can't keep you either.
1052
00:45:08,789 --> 00:45:10,749
You're giving me the bum's rush?
1053
00:45:10,791 --> 00:45:12,501
I think it's best for
your familial harmony
1054
00:45:12,543 --> 00:45:15,254
and our morale right here.
Thank you for your belief.
1055
00:45:15,295 --> 00:45:18,215
If this is some leftover
rancor against my son,
1056
00:45:18,215 --> 00:45:19,425
know this,
1057
00:45:19,425 --> 00:45:21,009
my little Willow will grow up
1058
00:45:21,051 --> 00:45:24,513
with revenge on her mind.
1059
00:45:24,555 --> 00:45:26,473
Like Beatrix Kiddo?
1060
00:45:26,515 --> 00:45:28,225
If that's some young girl
1061
00:45:28,267 --> 00:45:31,228
squaring family
accounts and some such,
1062
00:45:31,228 --> 00:45:33,897
then fuck yes.
1063
00:45:33,939 --> 00:45:35,607
Melville,
thank you for your business.
1064
00:45:35,649 --> 00:45:38,235
Hold on a second,
I'm in a wholly different--
1065
00:45:38,277 --> 00:45:39,778
Different but the same.
1066
00:45:39,778 --> 00:45:42,197
The controversy you're in the middle of,
it's too hot,
1067
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:43,615
and you're on the
wrong side of it.
1068
00:45:43,657 --> 00:45:44,908
But it's also your company.
1069
00:45:44,950 --> 00:45:47,035
We don't want a
security contractor
1070
00:45:47,035 --> 00:45:49,663
who sells pepper spray and
rubber bullets around here.
1071
00:45:49,705 --> 00:45:51,749
We don't want to
make you richer.
1072
00:45:51,749 --> 00:45:54,376
Well, I give not a shit.
1073
00:45:54,418 --> 00:45:57,254
There are 100s of companies
who will beg for my money!
1074
00:45:57,254 --> 00:45:58,881
[Prince] They will. No doubt.
1075
00:45:58,881 --> 00:46:00,716
He-he.
1076
00:46:00,758 --> 00:46:04,553
But I am hereby
creating The Prince List,
1077
00:46:04,553 --> 00:46:06,722
which involves shedding
all the dirty capital
1078
00:46:06,764 --> 00:46:08,432
currently invested.
1079
00:46:09,975 --> 00:46:11,393
From now on,
1080
00:46:11,393 --> 00:46:13,562
clients will have to
qualify to invest with us.
1081
00:46:13,562 --> 00:46:15,856
The SEC has
blessed this approach
1082
00:46:15,898 --> 00:46:19,109
and given us a
clean bill of health.
1083
00:46:19,151 --> 00:46:20,402
We're flipping the paradigm.
1084
00:46:20,402 --> 00:46:22,571
Instead of proving our
worth to the investors,
1085
00:46:22,571 --> 00:46:24,490
our investors will have
to prove their worth.
1086
00:46:24,531 --> 00:46:27,159
As a pension fund. As a company.
1087
00:46:27,201 --> 00:46:28,452
As a union.
1088
00:46:28,494 --> 00:46:30,662
As a family.
1089
00:46:30,662 --> 00:46:32,498
As human beings.
1090
00:46:32,498 --> 00:46:34,833
We'll take a hit at first,
to be sure.
1091
00:46:34,833 --> 00:46:36,710
But we'll be able to
hold our heads up high.
1092
00:46:36,752 --> 00:46:41,173
So we flake off what, like,
a third for appearances?
1093
00:46:41,215 --> 00:46:43,217
I'm not an appearances guy.
1094
00:46:43,258 --> 00:46:44,593
No.
1095
00:46:44,593 --> 00:46:47,971
We flake off every
investor but one.
1096
00:46:48,013 --> 00:46:49,264
This one.
1097
00:46:49,264 --> 00:46:50,933
We like the New
York Firefighters.
1098
00:46:50,974 --> 00:46:52,935
We'd like to keep
investing for you.
1099
00:46:52,935 --> 00:46:55,813
Well, it's our pleasure to stay.
1100
00:46:59,733 --> 00:47:02,152
I'll let the rest of
you head on out.
1101
00:47:09,618 --> 00:47:12,621
He's never leaned into
corner-cutting or dirty edge.
1102
00:47:12,621 --> 00:47:14,790
He's resisted it, in fact.
1103
00:47:14,790 --> 00:47:16,124
So he will ride with us,
1104
00:47:16,166 --> 00:47:19,336
and we will rewrite the
way this industry works.
1105
00:47:19,336 --> 00:47:22,840
And I'll need all of
you to help me do it.
1106
00:47:22,881 --> 00:47:25,509
And we'll do it together.
1107
00:47:25,551 --> 00:47:27,553
Oh, and so you know,
if you continue wearing your rings,
1108
00:47:27,553 --> 00:47:31,515
the data will be
available only to you.
1109
00:47:31,515 --> 00:47:34,434
It may feel like we just
cut our capital by two-thirds,
1110
00:47:34,434 --> 00:47:35,894
but, remember,
1111
00:47:35,894 --> 00:47:38,146
the one thing billionaires hate
1112
00:47:38,146 --> 00:47:40,107
is being left out.
1113
00:47:40,148 --> 00:47:42,067
Excluded.
1114
00:47:42,109 --> 00:47:43,277
So sit back
1115
00:47:43,277 --> 00:47:47,072
and watch how badly people
want to get on the Prince List.
1116
00:47:56,331 --> 00:47:57,583
Ballsy fucking move!
1117
00:47:57,583 --> 00:48:00,377
That's a goddamned badass,
right there.
1118
00:48:02,379 --> 00:48:04,381
You hope the
billies will want in.
1119
00:48:04,381 --> 00:48:06,758
Damned straight.
1120
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:09,261
If man is the father...
1121
00:48:09,261 --> 00:48:10,095
[sirens blaring]
1122
00:48:10,137 --> 00:48:12,055
...In the middle of the universe
1123
00:48:12,055 --> 00:48:14,224
Then why is this verse
coming six times rehearsed?
1124
00:48:14,224 --> 00:48:17,394
Don't freestyle much
but write 'em like such...
1125
00:48:17,394 --> 00:48:20,272
That cannon has
fired its last salvo!
1126
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:24,526
Now I have asked
you all here to join me
1127
00:48:24,526 --> 00:48:26,361
in taking our town back!
1128
00:48:26,361 --> 00:48:29,948
- [all cheering]
- Yeah!
1129
00:48:29,990 --> 00:48:33,118
Where Christ is
in all this crisis...
1130
00:48:33,994 --> 00:48:35,954
You've caught me
on the wrong day
1131
00:48:35,996 --> 00:48:37,372
for this brand of bullshit.
1132
00:48:37,414 --> 00:48:40,626
[Dreyfus] Excuse me,
let me explain.
1133
00:48:42,002 --> 00:48:44,463
Mr. Revere,
I'm from the State Department
1134
00:48:44,463 --> 00:48:46,006
of Environmental Conservation.
1135
00:48:46,006 --> 00:48:48,759
Endangered bog turtles
have been discovered
1136
00:48:48,759 --> 00:48:50,719
nesting in your marshland.
1137
00:48:50,761 --> 00:48:52,638
What is game? Who got game?
1138
00:48:52,679 --> 00:48:56,683
Where's the game in
life behind the game...
1139
00:48:56,725 --> 00:48:58,185
It's wonderful news.
1140
00:48:58,226 --> 00:49:00,771
But it certainly won't allow
for any more of this cannon fire.
1141
00:49:00,812 --> 00:49:03,899
This is a Temporary
Restraining Order,
1142
00:49:03,941 --> 00:49:06,276
ceasing their fire.
1143
00:49:08,028 --> 00:49:09,613
You don't think I got where I am
1144
00:49:09,613 --> 00:49:11,490
by just accepting
other people's visions
1145
00:49:11,490 --> 00:49:12,741
for how I live my life, do you?
1146
00:49:12,783 --> 00:49:14,701
- Sir, I don't care--
- The answer to that
1147
00:49:14,743 --> 00:49:19,331
is a stiff-necked
Yankee "fuck no."
1148
00:49:19,331 --> 00:49:20,749
Nat, what the hell is going on?
1149
00:49:20,749 --> 00:49:22,584
Are you really
going to let this...
1150
00:49:22,626 --> 00:49:24,920
interloper come in here
1151
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:26,004
and mess with a local?
1152
00:49:26,046 --> 00:49:27,881
I'm fabric of the community.
1153
00:49:27,923 --> 00:49:29,925
None of them has
ever complained.
1154
00:49:29,967 --> 00:49:31,760
Well, Melville,
that's the thing,
1155
00:49:31,802 --> 00:49:33,804
the whole town has
signed a petition.
1156
00:49:33,804 --> 00:49:35,263
They want it to stop.
1157
00:49:35,263 --> 00:49:36,390
I want it to stop.
1158
00:49:36,431 --> 00:49:38,058
Well, I'll have my day in court,
1159
00:49:38,100 --> 00:49:39,810
and we'll see if this
bullshit holds up--
1160
00:49:39,851 --> 00:49:41,103
Take your best shot, sir.
1161
00:49:41,103 --> 00:49:42,980
But the courts
are very supportive
1162
00:49:43,021 --> 00:49:44,564
of threatened species--
1163
00:49:44,606 --> 00:49:46,066
You're going to be a
threatened goddamned species
1164
00:49:46,108 --> 00:49:47,776
if you don't get
off my property.
1165
00:49:47,818 --> 00:49:49,653
Now that right there
1166
00:49:49,695 --> 00:49:51,655
is a species unto itself:
1167
00:49:51,697 --> 00:49:54,199
the entitled billionaire.
1168
00:49:54,241 --> 00:49:55,617
[all agree]
1169
00:49:55,659 --> 00:49:59,287
He and those like him are
why I find myself farming
1170
00:49:59,329 --> 00:50:00,914
and not prosecuting.
1171
00:50:00,956 --> 00:50:03,125
Because while I might
be able to tangle with
1172
00:50:03,125 --> 00:50:04,918
and prevail
against a billionaire
1173
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:06,837
as a private citizen
1174
00:50:06,878 --> 00:50:08,839
with common sense
1175
00:50:08,839 --> 00:50:10,090
in the name of nature
1176
00:50:10,132 --> 00:50:12,092
and the will of
these fine people
1177
00:50:12,134 --> 00:50:13,719
- by my side...
- [all clamoring]
1178
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:16,346
...I certainly can't as
the Attorney General
1179
00:50:16,346 --> 00:50:17,639
of the State of New York
1180
00:50:17,639 --> 00:50:21,393
with the pathetic
laws at my disposal.
1181
00:50:26,148 --> 00:50:28,525
Oh,
and you all be sure to drop by
1182
00:50:28,525 --> 00:50:30,610
and try my sweet
corn when it comes in.
1183
00:50:30,610 --> 00:50:32,487
[all laughing]
1184
00:50:35,574 --> 00:50:37,784
[Spencer] Hook 'em up,
get 'em out of here.
1185
00:50:37,784 --> 00:50:40,412
That's right! Ha ha!
1186
00:50:43,749 --> 00:50:44,791
[sighs]
1187
00:50:44,833 --> 00:50:46,668
You wanted your war, you got it.
1188
00:50:46,710 --> 00:50:50,714
Everybody look what's going down
1189
00:50:50,756 --> 00:50:52,841
[vocalist speaks defiantly]
1190
00:50:52,883 --> 00:50:56,094
Ah, what do you say to
one last for old time's sake?
1191
00:50:56,136 --> 00:51:00,515
Everybody look
what's going down...
1192
00:51:02,809 --> 00:51:04,770
Fire in the hole.
1193
00:51:07,397 --> 00:51:08,523
[cannon fire booming]
1194
00:51:08,523 --> 00:51:09,983
Come on, sing it!
1195
00:51:09,983 --> 00:51:12,194
Everybody knows
What's goin' down
1196
00:51:12,235 --> 00:51:14,112
Sing it again, y'all, come on
1197
00:51:14,154 --> 00:51:16,114
Stop, look, What's that sound?
1198
00:51:16,156 --> 00:51:18,075
- Hey!
- What's that sound?
1199
00:51:18,116 --> 00:51:20,952
- Hey!
- Everybody knows
1200
00:51:20,952 --> 00:51:22,496
What's goin' down
1201
00:51:22,496 --> 00:51:23,997
Ooh ooh ooh
1202
00:51:24,039 --> 00:51:26,625
Hey, yo,
these are Some serious times
1203
00:51:26,666 --> 00:51:28,168
That we're livin' in, G
1204
00:51:28,210 --> 00:51:30,045
And our new world order
1205
00:51:30,045 --> 00:52:38,112
Is about to begin,
You know what I'm sayin'?
