Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,333 --> 00:00:02,002
Previously
on Billions.
2
00:00:02,043 --> 00:00:05,338
This company,
formerly known as Axe Holding Company,
3
00:00:05,380 --> 00:00:07,590
Axe Asset Management,
and Axe Bank,
4
00:00:07,632 --> 00:00:09,342
belongs to me now.
5
00:00:09,384 --> 00:00:11,344
We used
to work for a killer.
6
00:00:11,386 --> 00:00:13,722
Now we got a guy who
wants to know how we feel.
7
00:00:13,763 --> 00:00:16,016
Just tell me what you
need to succeed here.
8
00:00:16,057 --> 00:00:17,559
A boss I can trust
and work with.
9
00:00:20,437 --> 00:00:23,314
The artillery. I didn't
come looking for a war.
10
00:00:23,356 --> 00:00:24,524
I need this place.
11
00:00:24,566 --> 00:00:26,693
But you fuckers need me too.
12
00:00:26,735 --> 00:00:29,029
Listen, you motherfuckers,
we've got a new general.
13
00:00:29,070 --> 00:00:30,530
You better get in fucking step.
14
00:00:30,572 --> 00:00:32,073
I'm unlike the man
who came before me.
15
00:00:32,115 --> 00:00:33,533
I do not break the law.
16
00:00:33,575 --> 00:00:35,326
Billionaires break
the laws of decency.
17
00:00:35,368 --> 00:00:37,662
I need you to get to the
right decision and approach.
18
00:00:37,704 --> 00:00:39,706
What if we weren't attached to
the way it's always been done.
19
00:00:39,748 --> 00:00:41,666
I am hereby creating
The Prince List,
20
00:00:41,708 --> 00:00:43,084
which involves shedding all
21
00:00:43,126 --> 00:00:45,336
the dirty capital
currently invested.
22
00:00:47,839 --> 00:00:49,382
Follow me!
23
00:00:49,424 --> 00:00:51,384
- Yeah!
24
00:00:51,426 --> 00:00:54,387
You wanted your war, you got it.
25
00:00:54,429 --> 00:00:55,889
Fire in the hole.
26
00:01:27,796 --> 00:01:30,715
And I feel
27
00:01:30,757 --> 00:01:33,009
That time's a-wasting, go
28
00:01:35,095 --> 00:01:37,639
So where ya going to Tomorrow?
29
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,933
And I see
30
00:01:45,105 --> 00:01:47,273
So would you even care?
31
00:01:48,817 --> 00:01:51,152
Almost. Good.
32
00:01:51,194 --> 00:01:53,029
- Again.
33
00:01:53,071 --> 00:01:54,781
Hands go a little softer in the big city,
Mike?
34
00:01:54,823 --> 00:01:56,866
Oh,
he'll tell ya he's a quarry man,
35
00:01:56,908 --> 00:01:59,077
a limestoner from birth,
that he was...
36
00:01:59,119 --> 00:02:00,286
Born with calluses.
37
00:02:00,328 --> 00:02:02,080
Which is true.
38
00:02:02,122 --> 00:02:03,456
But you can't keep
'em counting dollar bills.
39
00:02:03,498 --> 00:02:05,041
Just get bigger ones.
40
00:02:05,083 --> 00:02:06,960
Diamond shaped.
41
00:02:07,001 --> 00:02:09,379
You wanna try a different route,
Mike?
42
00:02:09,420 --> 00:02:10,797
No. I gotta send this.
43
00:02:10,839 --> 00:02:12,423
Just do what she did.
44
00:02:12,465 --> 00:02:14,217
I'm no Andy,
45
00:02:14,259 --> 00:02:15,718
or I'd be coaching the games.
46
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,388
L.A. 2028. Badass.
47
00:02:18,429 --> 00:02:19,806
An American coaching
an American team
48
00:02:19,848 --> 00:02:21,307
for an American Olympics.
49
00:02:21,349 --> 00:02:23,101
Lot of room to
make history there.
50
00:02:23,143 --> 00:02:24,602
Just like with this jump, Mike,
51
00:02:24,644 --> 00:02:26,354
you wanna downplay
the significance.
52
00:02:26,396 --> 00:02:28,815
See the handhold
and will yourself to it.
53
00:02:28,857 --> 00:02:31,109
Just do it.
54
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:35,780
Closer.
55
00:02:35,822 --> 00:02:37,490
How long do you
have to be in L.A. for?
56
00:02:37,532 --> 00:02:39,617
We'll see how long it
takes to build this thing.
57
00:02:39,659 --> 00:02:42,162
Construction on the
complex starts next week.
58
00:02:42,203 --> 00:02:43,913
Let's try this again, Mike.
59
00:02:56,009 --> 00:02:57,719
I'm heading back in the morning.
60
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,013
I think if you can get
your left hand in that crimp
61
00:03:00,054 --> 00:03:01,514
before you go for the dyno,
you'd have it.
62
00:03:01,556 --> 00:03:04,058
Uh-huh. Wanna grab
dinner before I leave?
63
00:03:06,019 --> 00:03:07,854
We're not going to do that.
64
00:03:17,071 --> 00:03:19,199
You can take
the next months' shipment
65
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,201
in the name of a
freight forwarder.
66
00:03:21,242 --> 00:03:22,869
Freight forwarder?
67
00:03:22,911 --> 00:03:24,662
Freight forwarder
and a customs broker.
68
00:03:24,704 --> 00:03:27,290
- All right?
- Hmm-hmm.
69
00:03:27,332 --> 00:03:30,126
- Good, good, good.
- Where are you going with this?
70
00:03:33,213 --> 00:03:34,380
You just listen.
71
00:03:36,090 --> 00:03:37,508
We're gonna stand
this thing on its head.
72
00:03:50,647 --> 00:03:52,565
Eyes up.
73
00:03:52,607 --> 00:03:54,234
Mase Carb. You, too.
74
00:03:56,486 --> 00:03:59,697
You know what some folks
would call Paul Revere these days?
75
00:03:59,739 --> 00:04:01,366
Dreamy?
76
00:04:01,407 --> 00:04:02,951
A whistleblower.
77
00:04:02,992 --> 00:04:05,828
He called out bad actors
at great risk to himself
78
00:04:05,870 --> 00:04:07,747
and helped win a righteous war.
79
00:04:07,789 --> 00:04:09,207
What does it take to
80
00:04:09,249 --> 00:04:10,750
break with the ranks
81
00:04:10,792 --> 00:04:13,086
and blow the whistle
on wrongdoing?
82
00:04:15,755 --> 00:04:17,924
Big retailer's
been playing dirty.
83
00:04:17,966 --> 00:04:20,093
Shoes and gears
say "Made in China,"
84
00:04:20,134 --> 00:04:23,096
but they're using forced labor
in Uighur concentration camps.
85
00:04:23,137 --> 00:04:24,597
Rask Sportswear.
86
00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:26,057
Rask? Love them.
87
00:04:26,099 --> 00:04:27,517
I wear their board
shorts when I shred.
88
00:04:27,558 --> 00:04:29,269
When you...?
89
00:04:29,310 --> 00:04:31,020
At home, when I play Among Us.
90
00:04:31,062 --> 00:04:32,397
But if I did surf--
91
00:04:32,438 --> 00:04:34,440
They do make great shit.
92
00:04:34,482 --> 00:04:36,234
All the same.
93
00:04:36,276 --> 00:04:38,236
Second-generation
company currently headed up
94
00:04:38,278 --> 00:04:40,822
by the founder's son,
Stuart Rask, Jr.
95
00:04:40,863 --> 00:04:43,449
It has over 1,000 retail
locations worldwide.
96
00:04:43,491 --> 00:04:45,743
Market cap, 30 billion dollars.
97
00:04:45,785 --> 00:04:48,079
And we're gonna
short the snot out of it.
98
00:04:48,121 --> 00:04:50,081
I want us positioned
to take this ride down
99
00:04:50,123 --> 00:04:52,250
like Slim Pickens on
the nuke in Strangelove.
100
00:04:52,292 --> 00:04:54,335
All the way to the
ground and then...
101
00:04:56,170 --> 00:04:58,715
I'm definitely
anti-concentration camp,
102
00:04:58,756 --> 00:05:01,968
but Rask hasn't had a
bad quarter in literally years.
103
00:05:02,010 --> 00:05:04,012
And I'm not using
literally figuratively,
104
00:05:04,053 --> 00:05:05,596
I'm using "literally" literally.
105
00:05:05,638 --> 00:05:07,015
Rask has the financials
106
00:05:07,056 --> 00:05:08,349
to withstand the
siege of Leningrad.
107
00:05:08,391 --> 00:05:09,809
It's a "shame and short."
108
00:05:09,851 --> 00:05:10,977
The key is to build
social pressure
109
00:05:11,019 --> 00:05:12,478
that goes beyond the numbers.
110
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,230
Make it unacceptable
to be seen wearing Rask,
111
00:05:14,272 --> 00:05:15,315
let alone holding their shares.
112
00:05:15,356 --> 00:05:16,649
I'll grab my ma's rosary
113
00:05:16,691 --> 00:05:18,109
and pray while we're at it.
114
00:05:18,151 --> 00:05:19,610
Taylor sees it just right.
115
00:05:19,652 --> 00:05:21,487
A sportswear brand
is the perfect target.
116
00:05:21,529 --> 00:05:23,823
Once we expose Rask,
their sponsored athletes
117
00:05:23,865 --> 00:05:25,325
will swear off the brand,
the fans will follow.
118
00:05:25,366 --> 00:05:27,118
The stock will be over.
119
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:28,828
And if we pull it off,
it will send a message
120
00:05:28,870 --> 00:05:30,747
to the Prince List investors,
the retail sector,
121
00:05:30,788 --> 00:05:33,082
- and the world, won't it?
- Yeah.
122
00:05:33,124 --> 00:05:34,334
It's a statement win.
123
00:05:35,793 --> 00:05:36,711
Get after it.
124
00:05:48,264 --> 00:05:50,016
Why were they pushing back?
125
00:05:50,058 --> 00:05:52,018
They're concerned
they're being sent to charge
126
00:05:52,060 --> 00:05:54,312
a machinegun nest
for moral reasons.
127
00:05:54,354 --> 00:05:56,189
And they don't trust a
leader asking them to do that.
128
00:05:56,230 --> 00:05:57,899
For profit, for greed,
129
00:05:57,940 --> 00:05:59,984
they'll charge like it's
the beach at Normandy.
130
00:06:00,026 --> 00:06:01,694
But not for a cause.
131
00:06:01,736 --> 00:06:04,864
Kobe was skeptical
of the triangle at first.
132
00:06:04,906 --> 00:06:06,657
Show 'em they can win
under you like Phil did,
133
00:06:06,699 --> 00:06:08,701
you'll have 'em for life,
but to do that, this...
134
00:06:08,743 --> 00:06:12,163
Yeah. Has to work. Got it.
135
00:06:12,205 --> 00:06:14,582
- You know your piece?
- I do.
136
00:06:33,684 --> 00:06:35,561
- AG Rhoades!
- Hey.
137
00:06:35,603 --> 00:06:37,397
Wendy told me you'd be
stopping by for your kids.
138
00:06:37,438 --> 00:06:39,065
- Yes, sir.
- I'll...
139
00:06:40,858 --> 00:06:41,901
I'll be, just,
140
00:06:41,943 --> 00:06:43,903
if you see a woman, mid-50s,
141
00:06:43,945 --> 00:06:45,405
- blonde hair, yoga everything...
- Hmm-hmm.
142
00:06:45,446 --> 00:06:47,031
- ...stall her.
- What--
143
00:06:47,073 --> 00:06:48,491
I'll be right back.
Guard the door.
144
00:06:48,533 --> 00:06:49,826
Hmm-hmm.
145
00:07:14,058 --> 00:07:16,102
Okay,
let me get those kids down for you.
146
00:07:16,144 --> 00:07:17,812
What the hell was that just now?
147
00:07:17,854 --> 00:07:19,147
Attorney-client?
148
00:07:19,188 --> 00:07:21,023
Sure.
149
00:07:21,065 --> 00:07:22,733
Guy on the tenth floor
got his dates mixed up.
150
00:07:22,775 --> 00:07:24,235
Needed help getting
his mistress out
151
00:07:24,277 --> 00:07:25,695
before the wife came back.
152
00:07:25,736 --> 00:07:27,905
Oh. That is a
tremendous feat of loyalty
153
00:07:27,947 --> 00:07:29,615
and timing, no doubt.
154
00:07:29,657 --> 00:07:31,284
You keep a lot of things
straight around here, don't you?
155
00:07:31,325 --> 00:07:32,785
- I have my moments.
- Oh, come on.
156
00:07:32,827 --> 00:07:34,245
Is there anything
in this building
157
00:07:34,287 --> 00:07:35,455
that works without your help?
158
00:07:35,496 --> 00:07:37,623
Mrs. Resler!
159
00:07:37,665 --> 00:07:39,959
Your husband wanted me to
buzz him the moment you arrived.
160
00:07:40,001 --> 00:07:41,377
Oh.
161
00:08:01,147 --> 00:08:04,650
- Welcome back to the big city.
162
00:08:04,692 --> 00:08:06,777
Can I expect you back at the office now,
too?
163
00:08:06,819 --> 00:08:11,199
Uh, the office is not where my
new war is going to be waged.
164
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:12,742
Not at first.
165
00:08:12,783 --> 00:08:14,619
Tractor, again?
166
00:08:15,661 --> 00:08:17,163
Maybe.
167
00:08:17,205 --> 00:08:19,540
But the venue matters
less than the message,
168
00:08:19,582 --> 00:08:21,042
the mandate.
169
00:08:21,083 --> 00:08:22,835
Now I realized it's
not one billionaire
170
00:08:22,877 --> 00:08:24,504
having his way with the city.
171
00:08:24,545 --> 00:08:27,965
That's wrong,
but it's not existential.
172
00:08:28,007 --> 00:08:31,594
But the overall effect
of the billionaire class?
173
00:08:31,636 --> 00:08:33,846
They're a scourge.
174
00:08:33,888 --> 00:08:35,640
No,
I'm gonna get them where they live.
175
00:08:35,681 --> 00:08:37,475
I see.
176
00:08:37,517 --> 00:08:39,685
We're gonna stand
this thing on its head.
177
00:08:39,727 --> 00:08:41,521
Mamet? Okay.
178
00:08:41,562 --> 00:08:43,189
But he pulled that
off in a small town.
179
00:08:43,231 --> 00:08:44,815
- This is New York.
- Well, New York
180
00:08:44,857 --> 00:08:46,901
is a lot of small towns
stitched together.
181
00:08:52,406 --> 00:08:55,868
Welcome,
members of Manhattan Door & Custodial.
182
00:08:55,910 --> 00:08:57,411
As president of this union...
183
00:08:57,453 --> 00:08:59,372
- I call this meeting to order.
184
00:09:03,793 --> 00:09:05,378
Look at this,
185
00:09:05,419 --> 00:09:08,256
the doorman's vote must
suddenly mean something,
186
00:09:08,297 --> 00:09:11,717
because here's our state
AG crashing my little speech.
187
00:09:13,386 --> 00:09:16,847
Good afternoon,
everyone. No. Far from crashing.
188
00:09:16,889 --> 00:09:19,225
I am here to
champion your cause.
189
00:09:19,267 --> 00:09:21,894
I know how hard you all work
and how little thanks you get.
190
00:09:21,936 --> 00:09:23,896
In fact,
during the recent plague,
191
00:09:23,938 --> 00:09:26,399
who was on the front lines,
manning the doors
192
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,526
while the well-heeled
residents took cover?
193
00:09:28,568 --> 00:09:30,152
You mean the ones
who actually stuck around
194
00:09:30,194 --> 00:09:31,362
and didn't run off to
their beach houses?
195
00:09:31,404 --> 00:09:33,155
I do. Yeah.
196
00:09:33,197 --> 00:09:36,576
No one here got a months-long
vacation like they did.
197
00:09:36,617 --> 00:09:38,494
Which is why, if you'll have me,
198
00:09:38,536 --> 00:09:41,414
I'm going to take up the fight
to get you hazard back pay
199
00:09:41,455 --> 00:09:43,374
for the work you did
during the pandemic.
200
00:09:43,416 --> 00:09:46,085
I volunteer to be your
unofficial mouthpiece
201
00:09:46,127 --> 00:09:48,588
and fight the Tenants and
Property Management Board
202
00:09:48,629 --> 00:09:50,298
on your behalf.
203
00:09:55,052 --> 00:09:56,762
Don't all cheer at once, please.
204
00:09:58,222 --> 00:09:59,557
Okay,
205
00:09:59,599 --> 00:10:01,267
you're a regular knight errant.
206
00:10:01,309 --> 00:10:03,936
Thing is,
we don't want your help.
207
00:10:03,978 --> 00:10:06,731
We're already in the middle
of a negotiation with them,
208
00:10:06,772 --> 00:10:08,399
and we're making progress.
209
00:10:08,441 --> 00:10:10,443
Bringing in some
high-profile state official
210
00:10:10,484 --> 00:10:11,777
could spook the TPMB
211
00:10:11,819 --> 00:10:13,946
and ruin the forward movement.
212
00:10:13,988 --> 00:10:16,115
Plus, you got an angle.
213
00:10:17,533 --> 00:10:20,119
I don't know what it is,
but you do.
214
00:10:20,161 --> 00:10:22,330
You need to know?
215
00:10:22,371 --> 00:10:24,457
As long as it serves
you and yours?
216
00:10:24,498 --> 00:10:27,084
We see folks like you all day,
every day.
217
00:10:27,126 --> 00:10:29,503
We see what they say
versus what they do.
218
00:10:29,545 --> 00:10:31,631
Why should we believe
you're going to help us?
219
00:10:31,672 --> 00:10:33,090
We don't fucking know you.
220
00:10:33,132 --> 00:10:34,634
I know him.
221
00:10:34,675 --> 00:10:36,135
He's all right.
222
00:10:36,177 --> 00:10:38,012
Thank you, Rafa.
223
00:10:40,514 --> 00:10:42,183
You see the news, don't you?
224
00:10:43,476 --> 00:10:45,311
I have made it quite plain that,
225
00:10:45,353 --> 00:10:47,980
in looking out upon
this state and city,
226
00:10:48,022 --> 00:10:49,815
I have identified the one group
227
00:10:49,857 --> 00:10:51,692
that has made them worse.
228
00:10:51,734 --> 00:10:54,570
And those are the very people
trying to do you dirty now.
229
00:10:56,238 --> 00:10:57,740
I am not like them.
230
00:10:57,782 --> 00:10:59,450
Like Rafa said, I'm all right.
231
00:10:59,492 --> 00:11:02,161
And he knows my whole family.
232
00:11:02,203 --> 00:11:03,913
Wife and kids.
233
00:11:03,954 --> 00:11:05,331
Ex-wife.
234
00:11:05,373 --> 00:11:06,832
Ex-wife is
a generous tipper.
235
00:11:06,874 --> 00:11:08,584
And his kids are
"please" and "thank you."
236
00:11:08,626 --> 00:11:10,336
Well, that's good to hear.
237
00:11:10,378 --> 00:11:13,339
And the reason my
children show respect is
238
00:11:13,381 --> 00:11:14,924
they know how I feel
239
00:11:14,965 --> 00:11:17,259
about those who put
themselves out there
240
00:11:17,301 --> 00:11:19,178
for the greater good.
241
00:11:21,889 --> 00:11:24,850
But you know what the one
problem with folks like you is?
242
00:11:24,892 --> 00:11:27,353
You're so busy
taking care of others,
243
00:11:27,395 --> 00:11:29,522
of making sure that
nothing gets in the way
244
00:11:29,563 --> 00:11:33,484
of them living their best lives,
that you put yourselves second.
245
00:11:33,526 --> 00:11:35,319
You just accept what's offered.
246
00:11:35,361 --> 00:11:37,196
That ends today!
247
00:11:37,238 --> 00:11:39,031
Now!
248
00:11:39,073 --> 00:11:42,243
Because I know how to
ask for what's deserved.
249
00:11:42,284 --> 00:11:44,245
Earned. For dignity.
250
00:11:44,286 --> 00:11:47,081
Respect. And I'm going to
use that not on my behalf.
251
00:11:47,123 --> 00:11:48,499
But on yours.
252
00:11:48,541 --> 00:11:49,709
What say you?!
253
00:11:49,750 --> 00:11:50,835
Hell, yeah!
254
00:11:59,260 --> 00:12:00,678
All right, Rhoades.
255
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,304
Go get 'em.
256
00:12:15,609 --> 00:12:17,069
Victor was right.
257
00:12:17,111 --> 00:12:18,154
He's often right.
258
00:12:18,195 --> 00:12:19,864
I grew up...
259
00:12:19,905 --> 00:12:21,657
Guys like that,
I always assumed they were--
260
00:12:21,699 --> 00:12:23,701
No,
you'd be correct most of the time.
261
00:12:23,743 --> 00:12:25,411
And he's some of those things.
262
00:12:25,453 --> 00:12:26,704
But he's smart.
263
00:12:26,746 --> 00:12:28,372
Fascinating.
264
00:12:28,414 --> 00:12:30,875
Anyhoozit,
when it comes to sports brands,
265
00:12:30,916 --> 00:12:32,626
the market has a short
memory for causes,
266
00:12:32,668 --> 00:12:33,627
a long one for numbers.
267
00:12:33,669 --> 00:12:35,129
Prince would know that.
268
00:12:35,171 --> 00:12:36,756
He'd have that
knowledge baked in.
269
00:12:36,797 --> 00:12:38,215
I've found five
less-established brands
270
00:12:38,257 --> 00:12:39,967
that're dirtier than Rask.
271
00:12:40,009 --> 00:12:42,136
I expect similar brands
like that will fall a little,
272
00:12:42,178 --> 00:12:44,764
in sympathy with Rask,
but how much worse can it get?
273
00:12:44,805 --> 00:12:46,432
Much worse.
274
00:12:46,474 --> 00:12:48,100
All sorts of egregious
shit I'd spell out,
275
00:12:48,142 --> 00:12:49,935
except I hate spelling
things out loud.
276
00:12:49,977 --> 00:12:51,312
Almost as much
as I hate being right
277
00:12:51,353 --> 00:12:52,980
and not being able to prove it.
278
00:12:53,022 --> 00:12:55,441
That's what the money is, proof.
279
00:12:55,483 --> 00:12:56,650
Let's mukbang the whole sector.
280
00:13:01,071 --> 00:13:02,740
No. Hold off for now.
281
00:13:02,782 --> 00:13:04,742
This initiative would
have worked under Axe,
282
00:13:04,784 --> 00:13:06,577
but Prince has
different priorities.
283
00:13:06,619 --> 00:13:08,120
He seems to be after
more than profits here.
284
00:13:08,162 --> 00:13:10,623
So what, are you saying,
"He's a kind man,
285
00:13:10,664 --> 00:13:14,376
a wise man, he has plans,
he has wisdom?"
286
00:13:14,418 --> 00:13:15,961
'Cause vom city at that.
287
00:13:16,003 --> 00:13:18,589
I don't know yet,
but I know he's not Axe.
288
00:13:18,631 --> 00:13:20,549
We're operating differently now.
289
00:13:20,591 --> 00:13:23,052
Mase Carb's not going to be
the siloed resistance anymore.
290
00:13:23,093 --> 00:13:25,262
So we're gonna trust this guy?
291
00:13:25,304 --> 00:13:27,473
We're throwing in. For now.
292
00:13:27,515 --> 00:13:29,308
Until we have more information.
293
00:13:29,350 --> 00:13:30,392
Stay on mission.
294
00:13:48,744 --> 00:13:50,830
Attorney General Rhoades,
295
00:13:50,871 --> 00:13:53,165
I'm at a total loss as to
why you've involved yourself
296
00:13:53,207 --> 00:13:54,834
in negotiations between our
297
00:13:54,875 --> 00:13:56,710
Tenants and Property
Management Board
298
00:13:56,752 --> 00:13:59,129
and the Doormen's
and Custodial Union.
299
00:13:59,171 --> 00:14:01,090
All matters involving
members of this state
300
00:14:01,131 --> 00:14:02,633
are within my purview,
301
00:14:02,675 --> 00:14:05,469
and that includes both
your fine organizations.
302
00:14:05,511 --> 00:14:08,013
But especially when it
concerns those who are often
303
00:14:08,055 --> 00:14:11,517
trod upon by the
powerful and wealthy.
304
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:12,810
So I have lent them my voice
305
00:14:12,852 --> 00:14:14,854
and my office as venue.
306
00:14:14,895 --> 00:14:16,689
Well,
much as they don't need it,
307
00:14:16,730 --> 00:14:18,649
- I guess it's fine.
- They don't?
308
00:14:18,691 --> 00:14:21,861
No. I was already prepared
to offer a two-percent increase
309
00:14:21,902 --> 00:14:25,155
in management fees.
They've earned it.
310
00:14:25,197 --> 00:14:26,282
Two percent, that'd be great--
311
00:14:26,323 --> 00:14:27,867
Uh, Duilio, please.
312
00:14:27,908 --> 00:14:29,201
Allow me.
313
00:14:29,243 --> 00:14:30,870
Two percent is theft.
314
00:14:30,911 --> 00:14:33,455
Might as well pick
their fucking pockets.
315
00:14:33,497 --> 00:14:37,334
These are the brave souls
who protect you in your slumber.
316
00:14:37,376 --> 00:14:39,712
If this board won't
agree to five percent,
317
00:14:39,753 --> 00:14:41,213
then these
negotiations are nothing
318
00:14:41,255 --> 00:14:42,381
but a cruel charade.
319
00:14:47,094 --> 00:14:48,762
No dice.
320
00:14:48,804 --> 00:14:50,723
Because he said? He's Barzini?
321
00:14:50,764 --> 00:14:51,891
Well, Mr. Lazarra--
322
00:14:51,932 --> 00:14:53,559
Yeah, I know who Bud Lazarra is
323
00:14:53,601 --> 00:14:55,394
and how much real
estate he owns in this city.
324
00:14:55,436 --> 00:14:58,731
What you might not know is,
I speak for the residents.
325
00:14:58,772 --> 00:14:59,899
And we're not paying.
326
00:15:01,775 --> 00:15:03,861
Sunburn, windburn, or whiskey?
327
00:15:03,903 --> 00:15:05,279
It's all three.
328
00:15:05,321 --> 00:15:07,865
Surf, turf, and Glenlivet.
329
00:15:09,158 --> 00:15:12,494
Most of us skipped
town for Covid.
330
00:15:12,536 --> 00:15:14,914
Here the Hamptons,
Vail, Caribbean.
331
00:15:14,955 --> 00:15:17,541
They even let some
especially high-net-worth
332
00:15:17,583 --> 00:15:20,210
individuals into New Zealand.
333
00:15:20,252 --> 00:15:22,713
So the doormen had the easiest
workday they've ever seen.
334
00:15:22,755 --> 00:15:27,593
Ah, sir,
this is the problem exactly.
335
00:15:27,635 --> 00:15:29,929
Wealthy residents
like yourselves
336
00:15:29,970 --> 00:15:32,264
retreated to the comfort of
their many vacation homes,
337
00:15:32,306 --> 00:15:34,183
leaving their helpers behind,
338
00:15:34,224 --> 00:15:36,018
guarding their empty apartments,
339
00:15:36,060 --> 00:15:38,520
fully exposed at the very
epicenter of a pandemic
340
00:15:38,562 --> 00:15:42,232
unparalleled in modern history.
341
00:15:42,274 --> 00:15:43,525
You stand in their debt.
342
00:15:43,567 --> 00:15:45,611
I find it curious
that our doormen
343
00:15:45,653 --> 00:15:48,447
hadn't thought to bring
this up themselves.
344
00:15:48,489 --> 00:15:50,991
And then you show up,
flinging your shit all around
345
00:15:51,033 --> 00:15:53,160
like a chimpanzee at the zoo.
346
00:15:55,287 --> 00:15:57,623
I've heard about your theatrics,
Rhoades.
347
00:15:57,665 --> 00:16:01,543
But you'll receive
no applause here
348
00:16:01,585 --> 00:16:03,170
'cause I've got
better things to do.
349
00:16:07,341 --> 00:16:08,592
That's it?
350
00:16:09,969 --> 00:16:12,429
The meeting's done
when Lazarra is.
351
00:16:21,855 --> 00:16:23,649
That was wrong. This is wrong.
352
00:16:23,691 --> 00:16:25,776
Yeah. I mean how can
they shortside you like that?
353
00:16:25,818 --> 00:16:28,821
- I mean, two percent?
- Not them. You.
354
00:16:28,862 --> 00:16:30,656
They agreed to a bump that
would make my guys glad,
355
00:16:30,698 --> 00:16:31,824
but now we're getting zilch.
356
00:16:31,865 --> 00:16:33,909
You would have me sit back
357
00:16:33,951 --> 00:16:35,661
and let them take us for a ride,
then?
358
00:16:35,703 --> 00:16:37,413
Settle for less than
your union deserves?
359
00:16:37,454 --> 00:16:39,331
- No way.
- What do you propose?
360
00:16:39,373 --> 00:16:42,167
I think it's time for your
boys to go on strike.
361
00:16:42,209 --> 00:16:45,504
Uh-huh. No way. I
can't make them go out.
362
00:16:45,546 --> 00:16:47,297
Not when there's a
real offer on the table.
363
00:16:47,339 --> 00:16:48,507
I...
364
00:16:51,135 --> 00:16:53,053
Look, man.
365
00:16:53,095 --> 00:16:54,805
I'm here to help.
366
00:16:54,847 --> 00:16:57,891
I led with the goddamn carrot,
you know?
367
00:16:57,933 --> 00:17:01,186
Let's just keep going in that direction,
together.
368
00:17:01,228 --> 00:17:03,272
You're gonna have
to show me the stick.
369
00:17:03,313 --> 00:17:05,607
Ah, the stick.
370
00:17:05,649 --> 00:17:08,193
Well,
that is wielded by other agencies.
371
00:17:08,235 --> 00:17:10,154
The DTF, you know?
372
00:17:10,195 --> 00:17:12,906
The state Department
of Taxation and Finance.
373
00:17:12,948 --> 00:17:15,743
All that unreported
income from holiday tips
374
00:17:15,784 --> 00:17:17,536
you and your boys enjoy.
375
00:17:17,578 --> 00:17:20,205
I'll try to fight 'em off,
but at some point,
376
00:17:20,247 --> 00:17:22,332
I'll have to investigate
377
00:17:22,374 --> 00:17:24,877
and widen the scope to
every other service union,
378
00:17:24,918 --> 00:17:26,795
letting them know
that the pattern started
379
00:17:26,837 --> 00:17:29,715
with the doormen.
380
00:17:29,757 --> 00:17:32,092
Which should do wonders
for your social lives.
381
00:17:34,511 --> 00:17:35,554
Jesus.
382
00:17:35,596 --> 00:17:36,972
Yeah. Well.
383
00:17:37,014 --> 00:17:38,682
Like I said,
384
00:17:38,724 --> 00:17:40,517
I'll try to fight 'em off,
385
00:17:40,559 --> 00:17:42,394
but you were asking about the stick,
and that's it.
386
00:17:42,436 --> 00:17:44,897
The one that's going to
crack you across the skull.
387
00:17:45,939 --> 00:17:47,524
So...
388
00:17:47,566 --> 00:17:48,650
So,
389
00:17:48,692 --> 00:17:50,611
I guess we're on strike.
390
00:17:53,614 --> 00:17:55,324
Rian ran the numbers.
391
00:17:55,365 --> 00:17:56,742
There are more profitable
ways to make the same point
392
00:17:56,784 --> 00:17:58,327
in the same sector.
393
00:17:58,368 --> 00:18:00,579
You think Prince's
lack of experience
394
00:18:00,621 --> 00:18:02,039
in the public
markets is showing?
395
00:18:02,081 --> 00:18:03,999
No, it's not that.
396
00:18:04,041 --> 00:18:05,709
He has the brainpower and
the right instincts for this place.
397
00:18:05,751 --> 00:18:08,420
Then why don't
you just talk to him,
398
00:18:08,462 --> 00:18:10,297
voice your reservations,
show him your data?
399
00:18:10,339 --> 00:18:12,633
I'm considering that
this might all be a test.
400
00:18:12,674 --> 00:18:14,551
Does he want us to confront him,
401
00:18:14,593 --> 00:18:16,929
or does he want us to
show that we trust him?
402
00:18:16,970 --> 00:18:17,930
A test?
403
00:18:19,807 --> 00:18:23,435
That sounds like an Axe move,
not something Prince would do.
404
00:18:23,477 --> 00:18:26,105
- I say there's no test.
- So you think he's misguided?
405
00:18:26,146 --> 00:18:28,690
I'm not going to make that
kind of an assessment for you.
406
00:18:28,732 --> 00:18:30,442
If you have your doubts,
talk to Prince.
407
00:18:30,484 --> 00:18:32,444
If I confronted every person
here who gave me reason
408
00:18:32,486 --> 00:18:34,446
to doubt them from time to time,
409
00:18:34,488 --> 00:18:36,115
I'd need headgear and mouthpiece
for every single conversation.
410
00:18:36,156 --> 00:18:37,950
- Everyone?
- Yes.
411
00:18:37,991 --> 00:18:39,159
Present company not excluded.
412
00:18:44,581 --> 00:18:46,416
Alex said he'd be
posting right about now.
413
00:18:46,458 --> 00:18:48,085
Let's check the Tok.
414
00:18:48,127 --> 00:18:49,962
Every time I try to open it,
415
00:18:50,003 --> 00:18:53,298
I'm accosted by Gordon
Ramsay yelling at someone.
416
00:18:53,340 --> 00:18:55,467
Hey,
everyone, this is Alex.
417
00:18:55,509 --> 00:18:57,427
I wanted to let you guys know
how I feel about Rask gear.
418
00:18:57,469 --> 00:18:59,680
I just found out they've
been using unethical labor
419
00:18:59,721 --> 00:19:02,683
and lying about it for years,
which is why I use
420
00:19:02,724 --> 00:19:05,227
the NorthFace,
a company I can trust.
421
00:19:05,269 --> 00:19:07,688
Rask is a Dumpster
fire of a company,
422
00:19:07,729 --> 00:19:09,439
so this feels about right.
423
00:19:12,651 --> 00:19:14,361
Hundreds of thousands
of views already.
424
00:19:14,403 --> 00:19:16,572
People doing stitches and duets.
425
00:19:16,613 --> 00:19:18,282
It's made it to Twitter.
426
00:19:18,323 --> 00:19:20,534
Naomi Osaka is dropping their sponsorship,
too.
427
00:19:20,576 --> 00:19:22,828
Women's soccer's
talking a boycott.
428
00:19:24,913 --> 00:19:26,832
Stock price is falling.
429
00:19:32,129 --> 00:19:34,840
Excellent.
430
00:19:34,882 --> 00:19:37,092
I saw that the
doormen are officially on strike.
431
00:19:37,134 --> 00:19:39,303
Hmm,
the foyers of Manhattan's
432
00:19:39,344 --> 00:19:41,096
wealthiest buildings
stand empty.
433
00:19:41,138 --> 00:19:42,181
Good.
434
00:19:42,222 --> 00:19:44,016
The, uh, negotiation meeting
435
00:19:44,057 --> 00:19:45,809
with the Tenants and
Property Management Board
436
00:19:45,851 --> 00:19:47,436
went the way you
thought it would?
437
00:19:47,477 --> 00:19:49,271
I rejected their paltry
attempts at compromise
438
00:19:49,313 --> 00:19:51,690
and worked them all
up into a rage. Karl!
439
00:19:54,193 --> 00:19:55,777
Take these and
deliver them directly.
440
00:19:55,819 --> 00:19:57,696
Addresses are on there.
441
00:19:57,738 --> 00:20:00,157
I want them to go straight from
your hand to their recipient's.
442
00:20:00,199 --> 00:20:01,700
No middlemen.
443
00:20:01,742 --> 00:20:04,036
This will be a real tour
of Central Park views.
444
00:20:04,077 --> 00:20:05,829
Only better way is by blimp.
445
00:20:05,871 --> 00:20:07,372
This one I will deliver myself.
446
00:20:07,414 --> 00:20:09,625
Bud Lazarra. He's the key.
447
00:20:09,666 --> 00:20:11,710
The other residents will
take their cues from him.
448
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,096
Ah!
449
00:20:23,138 --> 00:20:24,514
Christ on a bike!
450
00:20:24,556 --> 00:20:26,683
Okay, Bud, keep your focus.
451
00:20:26,725 --> 00:20:28,685
You know
what? It's funny,
452
00:20:28,727 --> 00:20:30,562
I'd heard that whole "don't move
your head" thing was a myth.
453
00:20:30,604 --> 00:20:32,898
But right before you shanked it,
Buddy-boy,
454
00:20:32,940 --> 00:20:36,610
I did detect some
wobble in the cranial area.
455
00:20:36,652 --> 00:20:39,238
But I'm sure Mr. Breed
here can train that out of you.
456
00:20:39,279 --> 00:20:41,114
If you weren't an
officer of the court,
457
00:20:41,156 --> 00:20:44,368
your own cranial area would
be getting quite a jolt, Rhoades.
458
00:20:44,409 --> 00:20:45,452
Ah.
459
00:20:45,494 --> 00:20:47,162
Think you wanna hit me now?
460
00:20:47,204 --> 00:20:48,872
This is for you.
461
00:20:51,375 --> 00:20:53,085
A bill for the
doormen's hazard pay.
462
00:20:55,629 --> 00:20:56,838
I might find your antics amusing
463
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,840
if they weren't such a nuisance.
464
00:20:58,882 --> 00:21:02,344
It's like getting your house
egged on All Hallow's Eve.
465
00:21:02,386 --> 00:21:04,763
But your scheme won't work,
Rhoades.
466
00:21:04,805 --> 00:21:06,556
He gets that a lot.
467
00:21:06,598 --> 00:21:08,600
Hmm. And from men even
more entitled than yourself.
468
00:21:08,642 --> 00:21:10,018
Hmm. And they do work, so...
469
00:21:10,060 --> 00:21:11,603
you might want
to think about that.
470
00:21:11,645 --> 00:21:13,063
- Yeah.
471
00:21:13,105 --> 00:21:16,108
And we expect timely payment.
472
00:21:16,149 --> 00:21:17,985
Nice to meetcha, Breedster.
473
00:21:18,026 --> 00:21:20,445
He can use every bit of that
encouraging coaching of yours.
474
00:21:22,823 --> 00:21:24,741
All right,
Bud, let's do this.
475
00:21:24,783 --> 00:21:27,286
You're going to face
bigger distractions than that.
476
00:21:29,663 --> 00:21:32,499
AOC just tweeted.
She blasted Rask.
477
00:21:32,541 --> 00:21:34,084
Now there's a heavy hitter.
478
00:21:34,126 --> 00:21:35,460
Is it trending? Has
the market reacted?
479
00:21:35,502 --> 00:21:37,129
Yes and yes.
480
00:21:37,170 --> 00:21:39,548
We're down to $17.00 a share.
481
00:21:41,049 --> 00:21:42,634
You didn't seem
quite surprised enough.
482
00:21:42,676 --> 00:21:44,303
Wasn't I?
483
00:21:44,344 --> 00:21:45,721
That tweet can't
just be good luck.
484
00:21:46,805 --> 00:21:48,682
All right. I made a call.
485
00:21:48,724 --> 00:21:50,183
Nothing improper.
486
00:21:50,225 --> 00:21:51,810
Made sure her
staffers knew the issue.
487
00:21:51,852 --> 00:21:54,229
Nicely done. What
about the other thing?
488
00:21:54,271 --> 00:21:55,814
The rentable equipment is
being pulled to Pennsylvania,
489
00:21:55,856 --> 00:21:57,190
to wait in the wings.
490
00:21:57,232 --> 00:21:58,817
What about the
companies that own?
491
00:21:58,859 --> 00:22:00,485
They're tied up with
projects elsewhere.
492
00:22:00,527 --> 00:22:01,987
Supply chain is thin in
the industry right now,
493
00:22:02,029 --> 00:22:03,613
a real flexion point.
494
00:22:03,655 --> 00:22:05,615
I know the stakes here.
And I knew what to do.
495
00:22:05,657 --> 00:22:07,951
But if it brings reassurance
to check that I've--
496
00:22:07,993 --> 00:22:09,161
Fair enough.
497
00:22:09,202 --> 00:22:10,537
And thank you.
498
00:22:36,021 --> 00:22:37,314
It's convenient
that you're up here.
499
00:22:37,356 --> 00:22:38,982
I have an HR matter.
500
00:22:39,024 --> 00:22:41,818
- Sure. How can I help?
- I'm going to fire Rian.
501
00:22:41,860 --> 00:22:42,861
Whoa.
502
00:22:42,903 --> 00:22:44,529
Okay. Reason?
503
00:22:44,571 --> 00:22:46,073
She directly
disobeyed my orders.
504
00:22:46,114 --> 00:22:48,367
No room for ambiguity?
505
00:22:48,408 --> 00:22:51,036
None. She took a position
I told her not to take.
506
00:22:51,078 --> 00:22:52,662
Several, actually.
507
00:22:52,704 --> 00:22:54,748
Not only is it reckless,
but it's also dangerous.
508
00:22:54,790 --> 00:22:57,125
- Was it smart?
- Does that matter?
509
00:22:58,752 --> 00:22:59,878
Come with me.
510
00:23:02,089 --> 00:23:04,383
Firing Rian may be the
best move for you as a boss,
511
00:23:04,424 --> 00:23:06,218
but it's not the best
move for you as a person,
512
00:23:06,259 --> 00:23:08,053
holistically.
513
00:23:08,095 --> 00:23:09,846
Since when do we do
holistically in this place?
514
00:23:09,888 --> 00:23:11,848
New place, new thing.
515
00:23:11,890 --> 00:23:13,850
And it applies,
since the whole reason
516
00:23:13,892 --> 00:23:16,228
you want to fire her is
she hurt your feelings.
517
00:23:16,269 --> 00:23:17,479
If a colonel gives an order--
518
00:23:17,521 --> 00:23:19,356
This is not The Big Red One.
519
00:23:19,398 --> 00:23:22,234
This is about you wanting
blind trust from your acolyte.
520
00:23:22,275 --> 00:23:23,693
It's about culture fit.
521
00:23:23,735 --> 00:23:25,529
We've undergone
a sea change here,
522
00:23:25,570 --> 00:23:27,322
and Rian's still
playing by the old rules.
523
00:23:27,364 --> 00:23:29,574
She's proven herself
unable or unwilling to adapt.
524
00:23:29,616 --> 00:23:31,118
And have you adjusted, Taylor?
525
00:23:31,159 --> 00:23:32,619
Really?
526
00:23:32,661 --> 00:23:34,788
Because firing Rian
sounds like exactly
527
00:23:34,830 --> 00:23:37,040
what Axe would do if
he were in your shoes.
528
00:23:41,002 --> 00:23:42,921
Aim for 15,
as close as you can get.
529
00:23:42,963 --> 00:23:44,798
Let's whack those
fucking bids like they're
530
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,760
Frankie Pentangeli
about to testify!
531
00:23:48,802 --> 00:23:52,097
Are you sure we
can still take directions from him?
532
00:23:52,139 --> 00:23:53,974
He's still the...
533
00:23:54,015 --> 00:23:55,600
whatever his job title is.
534
00:23:55,642 --> 00:23:57,477
Ready now, almost there.
535
00:23:58,687 --> 00:23:59,980
Why are we huddling up?
536
00:24:00,021 --> 00:24:01,773
Play's already been called.
537
00:24:01,815 --> 00:24:03,692
Just readying the team
to cover their positions
538
00:24:03,733 --> 00:24:05,444
as soon as the stock hits $15.
539
00:24:05,485 --> 00:24:07,070
For a nice tidy profit.
540
00:24:07,112 --> 00:24:09,906
I didn't buy Axe Cap for tidy.
541
00:24:09,948 --> 00:24:11,783
I want a big, sloppy profit.
542
00:24:11,825 --> 00:24:15,620
In your words, Wags,
"A monster pig. A Hogzilla."
543
00:24:15,662 --> 00:24:19,916
Everyone,
hold till the stock dips under five.
544
00:24:19,958 --> 00:24:21,126
Five it is, baller.
545
00:24:21,168 --> 00:24:22,377
Isn't that going
to be a problem?
546
00:24:35,515 --> 00:24:37,642
There's a problem
with the short.
547
00:24:37,684 --> 00:24:38,935
You too?
548
00:24:38,977 --> 00:24:40,479
I'm glad you're here, Taylor.
549
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,689
You should both know.
550
00:24:42,731 --> 00:24:44,191
I have two things to disclose.
551
00:24:44,232 --> 00:24:46,151
One. I'm old pals
with Stuey Rask.
552
00:24:54,659 --> 00:24:57,162
Stuey and I met at
rock fantasy camp.
553
00:24:57,204 --> 00:24:59,873
You can't hide
554
00:24:59,915 --> 00:25:04,503
Your lyin' eyes
555
00:25:04,544 --> 00:25:07,339
And your smile
556
00:25:07,380 --> 00:25:10,008
Is a thin disguise
557
00:25:11,176 --> 00:25:14,846
I thought by now
558
00:25:14,888 --> 00:25:19,518
You'd realize
559
00:25:19,559 --> 00:25:21,811
There ain't no way to hide
560
00:25:21,853 --> 00:25:24,898
Your lyin' eyes
561
00:25:26,566 --> 00:25:28,527
Most of the other attendees
were suburban dads
562
00:25:28,568 --> 00:25:31,488
who thought four IPAs,
a joint, and a spin on Pornhub
563
00:25:31,530 --> 00:25:33,240
was a wild night.
564
00:25:34,407 --> 00:25:36,034
Stuey and I...
565
00:25:36,076 --> 00:25:38,495
understood each other.
566
00:25:38,537 --> 00:25:40,705
We were kindred spirits,
567
00:25:40,747 --> 00:25:42,624
rock gods from another life.
568
00:25:42,666 --> 00:25:45,168
He even lets me sing
the Glenn Frey parts.
569
00:25:45,210 --> 00:25:46,211
Touching.
570
00:25:46,253 --> 00:25:47,587
But you said you had two things.
571
00:25:47,629 --> 00:25:49,756
What else do you
need to disclose?
572
00:25:49,798 --> 00:25:51,675
That stock is about to rebound.
573
00:25:51,716 --> 00:25:52,884
Very soon.
574
00:25:52,926 --> 00:25:54,219
- How?
- What'd you do?
575
00:25:54,261 --> 00:25:56,054
I negotiated a buyout,
576
00:25:56,096 --> 00:25:57,889
so that Prince could
profit off the short.
577
00:25:57,931 --> 00:26:00,392
But then I added a part two
so that Stuey would be okay.
578
00:26:03,937 --> 00:26:05,855
Come on.
579
00:26:05,897 --> 00:26:08,024
See, I put a buyer in place.
580
00:26:08,066 --> 00:26:10,277
As soon as word of
the takeover gets out,
581
00:26:10,318 --> 00:26:12,237
the Rask stock's gonna pop.
582
00:26:13,822 --> 00:26:15,574
You ruined my play
583
00:26:15,615 --> 00:26:18,326
and put hundreds of
millions in capital at risk
584
00:26:18,368 --> 00:26:20,078
because you wanted
to sing Eagles songs.
585
00:26:20,120 --> 00:26:22,330
He lets me sing the
Glenn Frey parts.
586
00:26:22,372 --> 00:26:23,748
I don't care!
587
00:26:23,790 --> 00:26:25,417
He thought you could
both win this way.
588
00:26:25,458 --> 00:26:26,668
You'd profit off the short,
589
00:26:26,710 --> 00:26:27,919
and Rask would still recover.
590
00:26:27,961 --> 00:26:29,588
If Rask recovers, I don't win.
591
00:26:29,629 --> 00:26:32,090
Uh-oh. The
Bloomberg alert just dropped.
592
00:26:32,132 --> 00:26:34,884
"Astra Sports is preparing an
offer to buy Rask Sportswear,
593
00:26:34,926 --> 00:26:36,595
leaving Stuart Rask, Jr.,
594
00:26:36,636 --> 00:26:38,388
in as CEO for ten years."
595
00:26:38,430 --> 00:26:39,931
Stock is already rebounding.
596
00:26:39,973 --> 00:26:41,725
We're hemorrhaging
money by the second.
597
00:26:41,766 --> 00:26:43,268
We could try and
cover our position.
598
00:26:43,310 --> 00:26:44,519
We have to stop this
takeover from happening.
599
00:26:44,561 --> 00:26:46,271
It's the only way.
600
00:26:46,313 --> 00:26:47,856
Before the Robinhood
knuckleheads jump on him
601
00:26:47,897 --> 00:26:49,274
or we're washed
away by the retail wave.
602
00:26:52,611 --> 00:26:55,113
You created this problem,
fix it.
603
00:26:55,155 --> 00:26:56,948
- How can I fix it?
- If I asked you that question,
604
00:26:56,990 --> 00:26:59,075
you'd say I'm a
resourceful motherfucker.
605
00:26:59,117 --> 00:27:01,161
I can be. I am.
606
00:27:01,202 --> 00:27:03,705
You might also say,
"If there's something Rask is hiding,
607
00:27:03,747 --> 00:27:05,832
I'll Easy Rawlins that shit. In fact,
I have it already."
608
00:27:05,874 --> 00:27:08,752
I might. Yeah.
609
00:27:08,793 --> 00:27:10,712
But to do Stu dirty like that...
610
00:27:10,754 --> 00:27:13,673
I mean, Glenn would never
have done that to Don Henley.
611
00:27:13,715 --> 00:27:14,841
Rask isn't Henley.
612
00:27:14,883 --> 00:27:16,551
He's Felder.
613
00:27:16,593 --> 00:27:18,303
Don't make me do to
you what they did to him.
614
00:27:18,345 --> 00:27:20,597
Would it be along the
lines of firing me for cause,
615
00:27:20,639 --> 00:27:22,265
tying me up in lawsuits
616
00:27:22,307 --> 00:27:24,392
to enforce a non-compete,
et cetera?
617
00:27:24,434 --> 00:27:27,145
You say you're on the team,
Wags. Be on the team.
618
00:27:27,187 --> 00:27:28,647
Do the thing the team guy does,
619
00:27:28,688 --> 00:27:30,649
or you're not on the team,
are you?
620
00:27:38,615 --> 00:27:41,326
What cockamamie scheme
do you have cooking in that
621
00:27:41,368 --> 00:27:43,828
Crock-Pot of a head of yours now,
Sonny?
622
00:27:45,997 --> 00:27:50,126
It is the first battle in
the new war I'm waging,
623
00:27:50,168 --> 00:27:53,171
against the billionaires,
the criminal class.
624
00:27:53,213 --> 00:27:55,340
And I'm starting
with the doormen.
625
00:27:55,382 --> 00:27:58,468
Since when are you the
voice of Johnnie Lunch Bucket?
626
00:27:58,510 --> 00:28:00,804
Since it suits the needs
of my constituents.
627
00:28:00,845 --> 00:28:02,389
In the short and long term.
628
00:28:04,057 --> 00:28:06,351
I'm listening.
629
00:28:06,393 --> 00:28:07,769
But I'm not saying any more.
630
00:28:07,811 --> 00:28:10,021
I'm going to keep
my own counsel.
631
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,901
Ah,
hell. My doorman is perfectly happy.
632
00:28:14,943 --> 00:28:17,070
He always has a big smile
633
00:28:17,112 --> 00:28:18,571
on his face when he greets me.
634
00:28:18,613 --> 00:28:20,031
That is his job, Dad.
635
00:28:20,073 --> 00:28:22,200
And you will have
to pay the bill,
636
00:28:22,242 --> 00:28:24,202
just as soon as
Bud Lazarra cracks.
637
00:28:25,829 --> 00:28:27,539
That'll never happen.
638
00:28:27,580 --> 00:28:30,667
You'd do not want
to mess with Lazarra.
639
00:28:30,709 --> 00:28:33,336
Why,
because you've thrown in with him already?
640
00:28:33,378 --> 00:28:35,338
Nah,
I'm done teaming up with your enemies.
641
00:28:35,380 --> 00:28:38,049
I took the wrong side of
that bet for the last time.
642
00:28:38,091 --> 00:28:39,718
Well, I'm glad to hear it.
643
00:28:41,177 --> 00:28:43,179
Son, do you remember
644
00:28:43,221 --> 00:28:45,056
the first summer
645
00:28:45,098 --> 00:28:48,560
that we took the
house at the Vineyard?
646
00:28:48,601 --> 00:28:49,978
You were probably five or six.
647
00:28:50,019 --> 00:28:51,563
Mm-hmm, I do.
648
00:28:51,604 --> 00:28:54,232
Are you contemplating
an extended vacation?
649
00:28:55,442 --> 00:28:57,402
Perhaps I should be, but no.
650
00:28:58,778 --> 00:29:01,156
You were a feeble swimmer,
at best.
651
00:29:01,197 --> 00:29:03,074
Finally, one day,
652
00:29:03,116 --> 00:29:05,285
you got out past the shore break
653
00:29:05,326 --> 00:29:06,828
to the calmer water.
654
00:29:06,870 --> 00:29:08,496
You turned to show me,
655
00:29:08,538 --> 00:29:10,373
big, proud smile on your face.
656
00:29:10,415 --> 00:29:12,292
You didn't see the wave coming.
657
00:29:14,294 --> 00:29:16,129
- And you didn't warn me?
- Warn you?!
658
00:29:16,171 --> 00:29:18,423
I clapped and kept
your attention on me
659
00:29:18,465 --> 00:29:21,176
until the wave came and
wiped you out completely.
660
00:29:21,217 --> 00:29:23,845
I knew it was a lesson you
needed to learn the hard way.
661
00:29:23,887 --> 00:29:26,389
I got infections in both ears.
662
00:29:26,431 --> 00:29:27,932
So, now you oughta know,
663
00:29:27,974 --> 00:29:31,644
don't turn your back
on oceanic forces.
664
00:29:31,686 --> 00:29:34,230
See,
I'm done teaching you lessons.
665
00:29:34,272 --> 00:29:35,774
Those are for your sister now.
666
00:29:35,815 --> 00:29:37,692
I am warnin' you this time,
667
00:29:37,734 --> 00:29:39,486
before the wave breaks.
668
00:29:40,570 --> 00:29:42,822
Lazarra's formidable.
669
00:29:45,241 --> 00:29:46,910
I appreciate the warning
670
00:29:46,951 --> 00:29:48,787
as a gesture of goodwill.
671
00:29:48,828 --> 00:29:52,123
And a mark of the beginning of
a new phase of our relationship.
672
00:29:53,333 --> 00:29:55,084
But you and I both know
673
00:29:55,126 --> 00:29:57,128
when I get big
game in my sights...
674
00:29:58,838 --> 00:30:00,715
I can't lower my rifle.
675
00:30:02,175 --> 00:30:04,636
Well, in that case, my boy,
676
00:30:04,677 --> 00:30:06,471
I wish you luck.
677
00:30:08,348 --> 00:30:12,477
I'll don my blaze orange...
678
00:30:13,978 --> 00:30:16,272
and step out of
the line of fire.
679
00:30:17,524 --> 00:30:18,858
Goodnight, Dad.
680
00:30:25,907 --> 00:30:27,784
Excuse me!
681
00:30:27,826 --> 00:30:30,328
Hi. I'm Andy Salter.
682
00:30:30,370 --> 00:30:32,622
There's Prince tacked on there,
if you're being particular.
683
00:30:32,664 --> 00:30:34,791
Of course! You're his ex-wife,
or--
684
00:30:34,833 --> 00:30:36,459
Sorry, are you still...
685
00:30:48,054 --> 00:30:50,557
Hi. Good. I figured it
wouldn't be too long.
686
00:30:50,598 --> 00:30:52,392
Since the last time I saw you,
687
00:30:52,433 --> 00:30:53,893
the main sponsor
of my climbing team
688
00:30:53,935 --> 00:30:55,562
and the entire games
is potentially bankrupt.
689
00:30:55,603 --> 00:30:57,188
And I just learned that
the construction company
690
00:30:57,230 --> 00:30:58,439
that's building
my training facility
691
00:30:58,481 --> 00:31:00,191
can't get the
equipment they need.
692
00:31:00,233 --> 00:31:02,694
Somehow the heavy
machinery got diverted.
693
00:31:02,735 --> 00:31:04,487
And now,
L.A.'s host status is on life support.
694
00:31:04,529 --> 00:31:06,281
Meetings are being
held about pulling it.
695
00:31:06,322 --> 00:31:07,699
The commission's set to
start re-shopping the bid.
696
00:31:07,740 --> 00:31:09,659
- There's a plan.
- Yeah.
697
00:31:09,701 --> 00:31:11,786
That's clear.
698
00:31:11,828 --> 00:31:14,539
It's all going to be resolved.
699
00:31:14,581 --> 00:31:15,957
Why are you cratering
my dream gig?
700
00:31:17,917 --> 00:31:19,878
Do you remember our third date?
701
00:31:21,254 --> 00:31:23,673
The Indiana State Fair?
702
00:31:26,426 --> 00:31:28,887
We turned every
booth into a competition.
703
00:31:28,928 --> 00:31:31,431
I swear, if they kept records
for the milk bottle ring toss
704
00:31:31,472 --> 00:31:33,516
and the balloon dart,
we would have smashed them.
705
00:31:33,558 --> 00:31:35,727
I had armloads of those
shitty stuffed animals.
706
00:31:37,770 --> 00:31:39,230
A few times in my life,
I've had,
707
00:31:39,272 --> 00:31:41,733
I guess folks would
call them epiphanies.
708
00:31:41,774 --> 00:31:44,235
Where something just came clear,
in an instant.
709
00:31:44,277 --> 00:31:47,739
And each one set the
tone for everything else.
710
00:31:47,780 --> 00:31:50,074
One was when I first
picked up a basketball.
711
00:31:50,116 --> 00:31:52,744
The other was when I realized
that I was able to understand
712
00:31:52,785 --> 00:31:56,956
the intrinsic value of an
opportunity in an instant,
713
00:31:56,998 --> 00:31:58,917
and then there was
that night at the fair.
714
00:32:00,043 --> 00:32:02,420
I knew you were the one.
715
00:32:02,462 --> 00:32:05,173
I was right about all three.
716
00:32:05,214 --> 00:32:06,591
Yeah.
717
00:32:09,052 --> 00:32:10,094
No doubt.
718
00:32:10,136 --> 00:32:12,055
But basketball and markets
719
00:32:12,096 --> 00:32:14,599
don't have agencies
or free will of their own.
720
00:32:16,100 --> 00:32:17,393
I do.
721
00:32:17,435 --> 00:32:19,562
I see the way you look at me.
722
00:32:19,604 --> 00:32:20,563
Still.
723
00:32:20,605 --> 00:32:22,106
Loving you.
724
00:32:22,148 --> 00:32:23,483
Admiring you.
725
00:32:23,524 --> 00:32:25,318
Still being attracted to you.
726
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,570
None of that means we want
to live the same kind of life.
727
00:32:27,612 --> 00:32:29,989
And none of that means
you get to unilaterally decide
728
00:32:30,031 --> 00:32:31,783
- the direction of mine.
- I've never done that.
729
00:32:31,824 --> 00:32:33,284
You're trying to do that now.
730
00:32:33,326 --> 00:32:35,578
This is about cleaning
up a dirty company
731
00:32:35,620 --> 00:32:37,121
and an entire
industry along with it.
732
00:32:37,163 --> 00:32:38,748
- It's bigger than us.
- Yeah. Sure it is.
733
00:32:38,790 --> 00:32:40,333
Fine, yes, I stand to profit.
734
00:32:40,375 --> 00:32:42,126
Hugely, in fact.
735
00:32:42,168 --> 00:32:43,461
It's a ten-bagger
if Rask blows up.
736
00:32:43,503 --> 00:32:45,296
That's not what I meant.
737
00:32:45,338 --> 00:32:47,632
It's no coincidence that you
got involved with my sponsor.
738
00:32:47,674 --> 00:32:49,467
There are plenty of other ways
to make a point and a profit.
739
00:32:49,509 --> 00:32:52,303
Okay. I looked into the company
because of your proximity to it,
740
00:32:52,345 --> 00:32:55,139
and I saw an opportunity that
was too important to pass up.
741
00:32:55,181 --> 00:32:57,058
- Mike...
- I have a way we can both win.
742
00:32:57,100 --> 00:33:00,311
I was already winning.
743
00:33:00,353 --> 00:33:01,771
I'm just trying to
do my own thing,
744
00:33:01,813 --> 00:33:03,606
and you can't leave it alone.
745
00:33:03,648 --> 00:33:05,483
Be honest with me--
are you trying to buy back
746
00:33:05,525 --> 00:33:07,568
- the relationship you want?
- I haven't given up.
747
00:33:07,610 --> 00:33:08,653
You should, though.
748
00:33:08,695 --> 00:33:10,154
I just need you to trust me
749
00:33:10,196 --> 00:33:12,115
and see how this
is going to resolve.
750
00:33:12,156 --> 00:33:14,158
If what you say is true,
that I'm not letting you go,
751
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:15,827
then you have to also know
752
00:33:15,868 --> 00:33:19,455
I anticipated
your reaction to it.
753
00:33:19,497 --> 00:33:20,957
When you're on the mountain,
754
00:33:20,999 --> 00:33:22,500
you can know what
you're supposed to do,
755
00:33:22,542 --> 00:33:24,002
what you're trying to do.
756
00:33:24,043 --> 00:33:25,753
It doesn't mean
you can pull it off.
757
00:33:25,795 --> 00:33:27,005
And if you try and fail,
758
00:33:27,046 --> 00:33:28,756
there may not be
a path to recover.
759
00:33:28,798 --> 00:33:30,842
So if you are making
some big move here,
760
00:33:30,883 --> 00:33:33,302
be really sure you
have your footing.
761
00:33:33,344 --> 00:33:35,346
Because you and I are
tied to the same rope now,
762
00:33:35,388 --> 00:33:38,516
and if you peel off,
you take me down with you.
763
00:33:54,532 --> 00:33:56,200
Strike's been called off.
764
00:33:56,242 --> 00:33:59,245
Doormen are back in
uniform and back at their posts.
765
00:33:59,287 --> 00:34:00,955
Billionaires still haven't paid?
766
00:34:00,997 --> 00:34:02,290
Nope.
767
00:34:02,331 --> 00:34:05,877
Well, that was fast.
768
00:34:05,918 --> 00:34:09,380
I guess I have to go
crawling back to Lazarra now.
769
00:34:09,422 --> 00:34:11,424
As we knew you would.
770
00:34:16,054 --> 00:34:18,306
I've got my checkbook
771
00:34:18,347 --> 00:34:20,224
and my first aid kit ready,
772
00:34:20,266 --> 00:34:22,060
depending on the outcome.
773
00:34:29,692 --> 00:34:31,569
This is my city,
774
00:34:31,611 --> 00:34:33,696
and you've come to
learn that the hard way.
775
00:34:33,738 --> 00:34:35,490
I know you bribed Mr. Santulli,
776
00:34:35,531 --> 00:34:37,742
the head of the Door
& Custodial Union,
777
00:34:37,784 --> 00:34:39,577
to get his men back to work.
778
00:34:39,619 --> 00:34:41,079
That's a cute story, Chuck.
779
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,289
But I prefer nonfiction myself.
780
00:34:43,331 --> 00:34:46,918
We settled at the original
two percent number.
781
00:34:46,959 --> 00:34:49,796
So once again,
you've proved yourself
782
00:34:49,837 --> 00:34:53,424
to be nothing more than a
colossal waste of my time.
783
00:34:53,466 --> 00:34:55,384
Ah, but see,
784
00:34:55,426 --> 00:34:56,844
I have video.
785
00:35:10,817 --> 00:35:11,776
Hey.
786
00:35:11,818 --> 00:35:13,361
How you doing?
787
00:35:15,154 --> 00:35:18,574
It's a private estate.
Full beach access.
788
00:35:18,616 --> 00:35:21,369
Kauai at Christmastime
is pretty special.
789
00:35:21,410 --> 00:35:25,039
So,
when can we get your boys back on the door?
790
00:35:25,081 --> 00:35:25,998
Right away.
791
00:35:35,466 --> 00:35:37,051
Thanks for the use of the pooch.
792
00:35:37,093 --> 00:35:39,095
Sure. Thanks a lot.
793
00:35:39,137 --> 00:35:40,721
Once you
were spotted together,
794
00:35:40,763 --> 00:35:42,640
my financial crimes
people threw a net
795
00:35:42,682 --> 00:35:45,643
and found the wire transfers.
796
00:35:47,353 --> 00:35:51,858
You may be sophisticated
at hiding baksheesh, but, uh,
797
00:35:51,899 --> 00:35:53,359
Santulli isn't.
798
00:35:53,401 --> 00:35:55,945
That flush on your face is that,
uh,
799
00:35:55,987 --> 00:35:59,282
surf, turf or something else?
800
00:36:00,741 --> 00:36:03,578
This would make
a real juicy morsel
801
00:36:03,619 --> 00:36:04,954
to throw to the press.
802
00:36:04,996 --> 00:36:07,248
Yeah, I can imagine every outlet
803
00:36:07,290 --> 00:36:10,084
would want a bite.
804
00:36:10,126 --> 00:36:14,630
But... I'm a reasonable man.
805
00:36:14,672 --> 00:36:17,925
If you can get your cohort
of fellow billies to agree
806
00:36:17,967 --> 00:36:20,845
to a five-percent management
fee increase for the doormen,
807
00:36:20,887 --> 00:36:24,557
I don't believe I'll see
the need to leak this story.
808
00:36:43,910 --> 00:36:46,537
Olivia,
how are things at New York Mag?
809
00:36:46,579 --> 00:36:49,373
Always good when
someone calls with a story.
810
00:36:49,415 --> 00:36:51,000
What's the situation in there?
811
00:36:51,042 --> 00:36:52,710
Chuck's in there right now.
812
00:36:52,752 --> 00:36:54,378
If his meeting doesn't
go the way he wants it to,
813
00:36:54,420 --> 00:36:55,713
he's ready to deliver
a cover story to you
814
00:36:55,755 --> 00:36:57,548
with necessary evidence.
815
00:36:57,590 --> 00:36:59,467
If Chuck wins the meeting,
there won't be a story.
816
00:36:59,508 --> 00:37:01,302
This time. But a nice raincheck.
817
00:37:01,344 --> 00:37:03,095
Let's hope the
meeting combusts then.
818
00:37:03,137 --> 00:37:04,180
I'll be waiting in the car.
819
00:37:10,311 --> 00:37:11,646
Why the hell would I trust you?
820
00:37:11,687 --> 00:37:14,482
Because you know
how he operates.
821
00:37:14,523 --> 00:37:17,443
And I'll need you in
my corner down the line.
822
00:37:22,990 --> 00:37:24,408
All right.
823
00:37:24,450 --> 00:37:26,577
We'll pay.
824
00:37:26,619 --> 00:37:28,412
I'll round up everybody myself.
825
00:37:28,454 --> 00:37:31,499
It looks like the
tides have turned, Bud.
826
00:37:31,540 --> 00:37:33,668
We can't fight oceanic forces.
827
00:37:33,709 --> 00:37:35,253
Hmm.
828
00:37:42,885 --> 00:37:45,721
Oh,
you should have seen the crimson shade
829
00:37:45,763 --> 00:37:48,099
of old Lazarra's cheeks when
I showed him what we had.
830
00:37:48,140 --> 00:37:51,102
I wish I had a swatch of
it to repaint my living room
831
00:37:51,143 --> 00:37:53,354
as a victory trophy.
832
00:37:53,396 --> 00:37:55,022
They're gonna pay.
833
00:37:55,064 --> 00:37:57,066
Tell Olivia to move
on to her next lead?
834
00:37:57,108 --> 00:37:58,025
No.
835
00:37:59,443 --> 00:38:00,861
It's a beautiful night.
836
00:38:00,903 --> 00:38:02,571
I'm feeling like a chat.
837
00:38:04,407 --> 00:38:05,992
You do that,
the billionaires of this city
838
00:38:06,033 --> 00:38:07,368
are sure to come after you.
839
00:38:07,410 --> 00:38:09,078
I'd never tell.
840
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:12,123
But I might tell
her where to look.
841
00:38:12,164 --> 00:38:13,749
Former holders
of your very office
842
00:38:13,791 --> 00:38:15,293
did not survive that attack.
843
00:38:15,334 --> 00:38:16,627
Are you sure painting
targets on our backs
844
00:38:16,669 --> 00:38:18,087
is the best move right now?
845
00:38:18,129 --> 00:38:19,964
No more skeletons
in my closets to rattle.
846
00:38:21,340 --> 00:38:22,633
Let 'em just try and Spitzer me.
847
00:38:37,690 --> 00:38:40,234
Are you looking for
your way out of this job?
848
00:38:40,276 --> 00:38:42,486
You pigged out on those other
sportswear companies dropping
849
00:38:42,528 --> 00:38:44,322
after I explicitly
told you to wait.
850
00:38:44,363 --> 00:38:46,157
I knew you'd see it.
851
00:38:46,198 --> 00:38:47,908
That's how confident I
was that they'd pay off.
852
00:38:47,950 --> 00:38:49,327
And they did.
853
00:38:49,368 --> 00:38:50,661
The numbers
supported my hypothesis.
854
00:38:50,703 --> 00:38:52,330
I upped you from analyst
855
00:38:52,371 --> 00:38:53,956
so you could take
positions I supported,
856
00:38:53,998 --> 00:38:55,458
not so you could go off
and improv on your own
857
00:38:55,499 --> 00:38:57,001
like an Eric Dolphy solo.
858
00:38:57,043 --> 00:38:58,294
Yeah, well, I waited.
859
00:38:58,336 --> 00:39:00,004
And then Rask
started rebounding,
860
00:39:00,046 --> 00:39:01,672
so I pulled the trigger.
861
00:39:01,714 --> 00:39:02,923
And thanks to me,
Mase Carb's in the black now.
862
00:39:02,965 --> 00:39:04,675
You shouldn't have done that.
863
00:39:04,717 --> 00:39:07,136
I already told you no. My
last instructions still stood,
864
00:39:07,178 --> 00:39:09,555
despite the change
in Rask's price.
865
00:39:12,433 --> 00:39:14,018
Leaving money on
the table is like seeing
866
00:39:14,060 --> 00:39:15,644
a punch buggy and
not punching someone.
867
00:39:15,686 --> 00:39:17,229
It just feels wrong.
868
00:39:20,358 --> 00:39:21,609
But I could have
listened to you.
869
00:39:21,650 --> 00:39:22,735
Should.
870
00:39:22,777 --> 00:39:24,528
I should have listened to you.
871
00:39:26,113 --> 00:39:27,531
I will protect you this time.
872
00:39:27,573 --> 00:39:29,408
Prince won't know
you made this call.
873
00:39:29,450 --> 00:39:31,160
But this game you're playing--
874
00:39:31,202 --> 00:39:33,204
Yeah. Like Miles's band
recording Bitches Brew.
875
00:39:33,245 --> 00:39:35,081
No net.
876
00:39:35,122 --> 00:39:37,500
I got it.
877
00:39:37,541 --> 00:39:39,043
Astra Sports has
canceled its buyout
878
00:39:39,085 --> 00:39:40,836
of Rask Sportswear
879
00:39:40,878 --> 00:39:44,048
after learning of CEO Stuart Rask,
Jr's
880
00:39:44,090 --> 00:39:47,009
secret partnership with
North Korean dictator
881
00:39:47,051 --> 00:39:48,302
Kim Jong-un.
882
00:39:48,344 --> 00:39:50,179
Jesus.
883
00:39:50,221 --> 00:39:52,223
This is what you
were sitting on?
884
00:39:52,264 --> 00:39:54,392
Stuey went to North
Korea with Dennis Rodman
885
00:39:54,433 --> 00:39:56,227
some years ago,
even after the other sportswear companies
886
00:39:56,268 --> 00:39:57,353
canceled and backed out.
887
00:39:57,395 --> 00:39:59,563
Remarkable. Why?
888
00:39:59,605 --> 00:40:00,898
Rask was still a
boutique brand back then.
889
00:40:00,940 --> 00:40:02,733
They needed to grow.
890
00:40:02,775 --> 00:40:04,860
They came back from
their trip fully capitalized.
891
00:40:04,902 --> 00:40:07,238
Kim's been a silent partner
this whole time. Still is.
892
00:40:07,279 --> 00:40:09,073
Until now...
893
00:40:09,115 --> 00:40:10,366
Look at the after-market ticker.
894
00:40:10,408 --> 00:40:12,243
Rask is tanking.
895
00:40:12,284 --> 00:40:13,744
Federal Trade Commission's
doing a full probe.
896
00:40:13,786 --> 00:40:15,413
Well,
Wagsy, you did it.
897
00:40:15,454 --> 00:40:16,956
You killed the buyout
and fed it to the dogs.
898
00:40:24,755 --> 00:40:26,090
Hey, Stu--
899
00:40:27,842 --> 00:40:29,093
It--
900
00:40:30,136 --> 00:40:31,720
Listen...
901
00:40:31,762 --> 00:40:34,014
can't we just talk
about this at rehearsal?
902
00:40:38,644 --> 00:40:40,938
Stuey just kicked
me out of the band.
903
00:40:51,157 --> 00:40:52,825
Olivia told me
that Lazarra article
904
00:40:52,867 --> 00:40:54,285
should drop tonight.
905
00:40:54,326 --> 00:40:55,786
We'd better batten
down the hatches.
906
00:40:55,828 --> 00:40:58,414
Nah,
let the gale blow. I'm ready.
907
00:40:58,456 --> 00:41:00,040
I'm trying to think like
Hackman in Heist,
908
00:41:00,082 --> 00:41:02,084
to understand why
turning Lazarra against you
909
00:41:02,126 --> 00:41:03,085
is the smart play,
910
00:41:03,127 --> 00:41:06,088
and I am coming up dry.
911
00:41:06,130 --> 00:41:08,966
Well,
something my father taught me long ago.
912
00:41:09,008 --> 00:41:12,761
Sometimes,
you just have to break some shit.
913
00:41:12,803 --> 00:41:16,140
Find out the strength of the
reaction on the other side.
914
00:41:16,182 --> 00:41:18,142
Use your will. Not your wits.
915
00:41:18,184 --> 00:41:20,311
And make them know your moves
916
00:41:20,352 --> 00:41:21,896
can't be anticipated.
917
00:41:22,980 --> 00:41:24,440
That no one is safe.
918
00:41:24,482 --> 00:41:25,774
I'm not sure that
old school crap
919
00:41:25,816 --> 00:41:27,359
is still gonna play.
920
00:41:27,401 --> 00:41:29,195
The old school crap
plays like Bobby Short.
921
00:41:29,236 --> 00:41:30,988
You just have to know when.
922
00:41:31,030 --> 00:41:32,865
Sometime when
I'm drunk enough...
923
00:41:34,033 --> 00:41:35,493
ask me about pancake eaters.
924
00:41:35,534 --> 00:41:36,619
That'll explain it.
925
00:41:36,660 --> 00:41:38,037
Okay. Well, it better.
926
00:41:38,078 --> 00:41:41,499
You promised me a winning season,
Chuck.
927
00:41:41,540 --> 00:41:43,501
Right now we're looking
like the New York Jets.
928
00:41:43,542 --> 00:41:45,461
I'm running out of time
before I'll have to quit
929
00:41:45,503 --> 00:41:46,587
and campaign 25/8.
930
00:41:49,965 --> 00:41:52,676
I am under no illusion that
you'll be by my side forever.
931
00:41:52,718 --> 00:41:54,845
But right now,
932
00:41:54,887 --> 00:41:56,597
we've got our biggest
mandate on the docket.
933
00:41:56,639 --> 00:41:58,807
I can't lose my MVP yet.
934
00:41:58,849 --> 00:42:00,684
I need you, Kate.
935
00:42:06,524 --> 00:42:09,193
And I commit here,
and I sense that you can even feel it
936
00:42:09,235 --> 00:42:13,280
that we are about to
have some very big wins.
937
00:42:13,322 --> 00:42:15,032
And the right kind.
938
00:42:15,074 --> 00:42:17,368
For the folks,
like the five percent the doorman got.
939
00:42:17,409 --> 00:42:19,620
Ones that will propel
you where you want to go.
940
00:42:19,662 --> 00:42:22,039
Where we all need you to go.
941
00:42:22,081 --> 00:42:24,500
And then,
once we're done with that and we're ready,
942
00:42:24,542 --> 00:42:26,877
you will have my
full-throated endorsement
943
00:42:26,919 --> 00:42:29,547
and use of all my connections.
944
00:42:34,051 --> 00:42:35,594
Okay, Boss.
945
00:42:44,937 --> 00:42:46,730
- They're pulling them.
- The games?
946
00:42:46,772 --> 00:42:48,732
From the International
Commission of Sport--
947
00:42:48,774 --> 00:42:50,901
"With the human rights
abuses at the hand of
948
00:42:50,943 --> 00:42:52,570
our main sponsor...
949
00:42:52,611 --> 00:42:54,905
in direct contravention
to the spirit of the...
950
00:42:54,947 --> 00:42:56,907
delays in construction and
innumerable other problems...
951
00:42:56,949 --> 00:42:58,492
re-opening a modified
952
00:42:58,534 --> 00:43:00,077
and condensed bid
process to be completed."
953
00:43:00,119 --> 00:43:02,246
Rask is facing bankruptcy,
954
00:43:02,288 --> 00:43:04,039
and Stuey is being hauled in
front of Congress next week
955
00:43:04,081 --> 00:43:05,916
on human rights abuses.
956
00:43:05,958 --> 00:43:07,501
They looked to other sponsors,
but no one stepped up.
957
00:43:07,543 --> 00:43:09,253
Too smoky at the moment.
958
00:43:09,295 --> 00:43:11,547
When they saw they
couldn't pull it off financially,
959
00:43:11,589 --> 00:43:14,425
they started making
outgoing calls.
960
00:43:21,098 --> 00:43:22,600
Yes.
961
00:43:24,143 --> 00:43:26,186
We should meet
and talk about it.
962
00:43:36,697 --> 00:43:38,782
I see you didn't fire Rian.
963
00:43:38,824 --> 00:43:39,908
Was Prince upset?
964
00:43:39,950 --> 00:43:41,785
I covered for her, actually.
965
00:43:41,827 --> 00:43:44,496
I saw that she had
learned the lesson.
966
00:43:44,538 --> 00:43:46,332
Did you take the
credit for her or for you?
967
00:43:46,373 --> 00:43:48,250
What would I stand to gain?
968
00:43:48,292 --> 00:43:49,460
Your freedom.
969
00:43:49,501 --> 00:43:51,295
If Prince fired you.
970
00:43:51,337 --> 00:43:52,671
No.
971
00:43:53,797 --> 00:43:54,965
I want to stay.
972
00:43:55,007 --> 00:43:57,051
You saw the news
about the games?
973
00:44:00,638 --> 00:44:01,847
Prince isn't just
playing the markets.
974
00:44:01,889 --> 00:44:03,766
His chessboard is much bigger,
975
00:44:03,807 --> 00:44:06,143
and I don't think he's
done making his moves yet.
976
00:44:10,481 --> 00:44:13,901
When I'm done,
this city will look very different.
977
00:44:13,942 --> 00:44:15,611
Over there, you see that?
978
00:44:15,653 --> 00:44:17,488
That's where the
Athletes' Village will go.
979
00:44:17,529 --> 00:44:19,782
We'll turn it all into
low-income housing
980
00:44:19,823 --> 00:44:21,659
after the games are over.
981
00:44:21,700 --> 00:44:23,160
And that there,
982
00:44:23,202 --> 00:44:25,579
is where we'll build
the aquatic center.
983
00:44:25,621 --> 00:44:28,499
It can then be used as
a public natatorium after.
984
00:44:30,376 --> 00:44:33,837
The very first New
York Olympics.
985
00:44:33,879 --> 00:44:35,673
It's a lot of work, Mike.
986
00:44:35,714 --> 00:44:38,300
The city's down,
987
00:44:38,342 --> 00:44:39,968
busted up, hurting.
988
00:44:41,428 --> 00:44:43,597
It's the perfect
opportunity to rebuild.
989
00:44:44,723 --> 00:44:46,350
Every time New York has fallen--
990
00:44:46,392 --> 00:44:50,104
It has been lifted up and
rebuilt by a great man.
991
00:44:52,022 --> 00:44:54,650
And that's you this time.
992
00:44:54,692 --> 00:44:55,609
Us.
993
00:44:57,361 --> 00:44:58,987
Not only will you
keep your coaching job,
994
00:44:59,029 --> 00:45:01,407
you'll now be head
coach of all sport climbing.
995
00:45:01,448 --> 00:45:03,659
You'll oversee all three events,
996
00:45:03,701 --> 00:45:04,952
lead climbing, speed climbing,
997
00:45:04,993 --> 00:45:06,995
and bouldering.
998
00:45:07,037 --> 00:45:09,206
And the version of this place
you'll see before I'm done,
999
00:45:09,248 --> 00:45:11,375
you won't want to
leave so quickly.
1000
00:45:13,585 --> 00:45:15,546
If he is
who I think he is,
1001
00:45:15,587 --> 00:45:17,548
I may be able to start
doing my job differently,
1002
00:45:17,589 --> 00:45:20,384
to change my purpose
and who I am as a result.
1003
00:45:20,426 --> 00:45:22,803
You've got a lot
riding on that read.
1004
00:45:22,845 --> 00:45:26,140
You still think I'm
wrong about him?
1005
00:45:26,181 --> 00:45:30,144
I think we should both
proceed with caution.
1006
00:45:30,185 --> 00:45:31,645
I think it's worth
considering that what he did
1007
00:45:31,687 --> 00:45:33,564
might not have
been based on some
1008
00:45:33,605 --> 00:45:35,232
lofty ethical reason.
1009
00:45:35,274 --> 00:45:36,817
What then, if not ethics?
1010
00:45:39,361 --> 00:45:41,697
His wife came by yesterday.
1011
00:45:41,739 --> 00:45:43,574
I knew he was married,
1012
00:45:43,615 --> 00:45:45,617
but that she's
out of the picture.
1013
00:45:45,659 --> 00:45:47,870
Yeah. But she still
showed up here.
1014
00:45:47,911 --> 00:45:50,414
All of this is some
big romantic gesture?
1015
00:45:50,456 --> 00:45:52,958
That, or he has Narcissistic
Personality Disorder.
1016
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,419
And what would that mean,
in Prince's case?
1017
00:45:55,461 --> 00:45:57,963
He thinks he's better
than everyone else.
1018
00:45:58,005 --> 00:46:00,299
And he won't stop till
he gets what he wants.
1019
00:46:09,933 --> 00:46:11,769
For you, Coach Salter.
1020
00:46:14,438 --> 00:46:15,939
Nice.
1021
00:46:20,277 --> 00:46:22,696
You know this is
far from a sure thing?
1022
00:46:22,738 --> 00:46:24,364
Sure, there's a lot left to do.
1023
00:46:24,406 --> 00:46:26,116
I'll have to gather
some support.
1024
00:46:26,158 --> 00:46:28,285
Some support?
You'll need a coalition.
1025
00:46:28,327 --> 00:46:30,621
You have to move
the legislature.
1026
00:46:30,662 --> 00:46:32,956
The whole political machine,
city and state.
1027
00:46:32,998 --> 00:46:34,958
And the people too.
1028
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,628
Need to sell the goddamned
commission on the idea.
1029
00:46:37,669 --> 00:46:39,505
Sure. I'm ready for all of that.
1030
00:46:42,841 --> 00:46:44,051
There's something else.
1031
00:46:49,181 --> 00:46:51,099
I'm not ready to give up.
1032
00:46:51,141 --> 00:46:52,392
On us.
1033
00:46:57,689 --> 00:46:59,149
Still mad at me?
1034
00:47:00,234 --> 00:47:01,860
I reserve the right.
1035
00:47:04,530 --> 00:47:05,781
Try on the jacket.
See if you like it.
1036
00:47:05,823 --> 00:47:07,282
I'll put it on
1037
00:47:07,324 --> 00:47:08,784
as soon as New York
is officially announced.
1038
00:47:08,826 --> 00:47:10,786
And I'm not moving
here until then.
1039
00:47:10,828 --> 00:47:12,996
All right. But if I were you,
I'd start looking at apartments.
1040
00:47:20,462 --> 00:47:21,463
Dinner?
1041
00:47:24,967 --> 00:47:26,176
Sure.
1042
00:47:27,219 --> 00:47:28,345
Dinner.
1043
00:47:40,482 --> 00:47:43,443
You can't hide
1044
00:47:43,485 --> 00:47:46,405
Your lyin' eyes
1045
00:47:47,531 --> 00:47:50,784
And your smile
1046
00:47:50,826 --> 00:47:53,370
Is a thin disguise
1047
00:47:54,830 --> 00:47:57,749
I thought by now
1048
00:47:57,791 --> 00:48:01,211
You'd realize
1049
00:48:03,046 --> 00:48:04,798
There ain't no way to hide
1050
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:07,718
Your lyin' eyes
1051
00:48:09,845 --> 00:48:12,139
There ain't no way to hide
1052
00:48:12,180 --> 00:48:14,725
Your lyin' eyes
76753
