Well, we need to locate
all written information

relevant to this investigation.

Are you aware of any
document destruction?

You know what? I really need to pee!

I'm gonna have to fight now for
every fucking shareholder vote.

Coochie-fucking-coo.

Yeah, I haven't seen him
like this for a while.

You wanna stay over or what?

RHEA JARRELL: Isn't now the
time to just let him know

you have options?

I happen to know
there's a media operation

in need of a new CEO.

Uh, me? At Pierce?

KENDALL ROY: Have you seen this?

They're saying you punched him,
which caused him, in effect,

to drive his car into the river.

HUGO BAKER: How about we
offer a visit to the family?

Actually, Ken, why don't
you come in with me?

We should stick together on this.

Don't you agree?

Dad? I need to ask, is it still me?

You know that I want
this, and that I can do it.

Then why are you fucking me about?

The Pierce job.

Hey, Ken. I think we've got a problem.

We want to thank you for
coming to this first preview

of Willa's baby,

'cause it isn't easy to...

to give birth in front
of a thousand people.

So... anyway.

Uh... But I... I have to say, I could...

- watch it all day.

CONNOR ROY: And if you're
talking with your friends,

remember, a lot of the lines
you heard were placeholders.

- Correct?
- That's right, yeah, um...

I... I had a virus, so...

(CLEARS THROAT) Yeah, I think it's like,

maybe 30, 40 percent improvement

Yeah, but the cast, amazing.

But previews, so, you

- WILLA: Thank... Thank you.
- CONNOR: Thank you.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

- (SUCKS TEETH) Fuck.
- You okay?

SHIV ROY: Yeah, just Rhea.
She's like fucking knotweed.

Dad's plaque thing.

Oh, yeah, the little Dundee dinner.

- Trip to Scotland, 50 years in the biz.
- SHIV: Mm.

Yeah, not so little anymore.
She went full on.

She's turning it into a
fucking surprise party,

Rhea-produced Logan-athon.

I would tell your dad that
she's a traitorous viper

and that she stabbed you in the back.

Oh, come on.

Go whining to Logan?

Come... I need to be smarter than that.

Huh?

Is that... "him"?

- Him who?
- "Him who?"

- Look at you.

- SHIV: What? No.
- Are you sweating?

It's construction sand,

and it's supposed to be desert sand.

- I mean, can we fix that?
- Sure.

Willa. Hey.

- WILLA: Hi.
- I just want to say congrats.

I didn't realize, but
that was, uh, you know?

- You're a playwright.

- Thank you. Yeah...
- Yeah.

I mean, I've always told
you I'm a playwright.

Yeah, but, you know, Roman's, like...

"written a screenplay".

- Thanks, bro.
- Yeah. Yeah.

This is the worst it'll be.
It can only get better.

Right, okay.

KENDALL ROY: Hey, so,
Con, who... who's, um...

Who's that chick that
Willa's talking to right now?

Oh, Jennifer? Yeah, she's one of 'em.

She's one of the wackjobs, the actors...

but no, yeah, she's fantastic.

She's just got this
unbelievable gift for...

- pretending.
- She was amazing.

Oh. Uh-huh. You okay?

Hey, I'm drowning in pussy
and everything's golden.

Well, that's great, Kenny.

- Hey, uh...
- Hey.

- Ken.
- Yeah.

Did you get this email from
Rhea about the tribute videos?

- Ooh, uh-huh.
- Yeah, and you know that she's...

she's lunching Sid and Laird, right?

KENDALL: Mm-hm.

SHIV: I mean...

Shiv, look. It's all
changing all the time...

- Oh. Oh, okay. So, you're like...
- So, like,

- you're out of the game...
- no big deal.

...and you're just
stockpiling lentils and...

- and hoarding antibiotics?
- No, that's not what I'm saying.

I'm just saying it's all good, you know?

It's like there's nothing
new under the sun.

Sorry, will you excuse
me for just a moment?

My father has always
been my greatest champion

and my hero.

Congratulations on 50
years at the top of the biz.

I love you, Dad.

Nice. Uh... You want to try one more?

(CLICKS TONGUE) Why?

No, uh, that was perfect, uh, just...

didn't know if... if you...
you wanted one more.

If it was perfect, why
would I want one more?

I just... I meant, um...

Why don't we do just one more where...

maybe you really, like, sell
how... how you're feeling?

Yeah. Okay. Let's do it.

All right. Take four.

(IN CARTOONISH VOICE)
What up, prick licks?

It's me, Dr. Moron.

I'm a ding-dong, doodle-bug
dipshit with a tit mouse dick

and my dad hates all of you.

Fucky-go-bye-bye. (NORMAL
VOICE) How was that?

Was that good?

CONNOR: It's interesting
that Dad's agreed

to go back to Scotland
for this dedication dinner.

- Yeah.
- CONNOR: He didn't have it easy.

Mm-hm.

He had to shit outside, right?

Sometimes, I think I'll
never truly understand Dad

until I shit outside.

I doubt that squatting
over a storm drain

is going to crack the case on him.

I just said, "I love you, Dad",
like ten times in a row.

I think that doubles my lifetime count.

Hey, what do you reckon,
Rome, Dad boning Rhea?

ROMAN ROY: Can't wrap
my head around that.

Too steamy. Too hot.

We should all talk
about what this means...

for us, you know?

We're... You know, we're
all sensing a shift, right?

(COFFEE POURING)

Well, Gerri says she
looks like the new thing.

CONNOR: Well, it happens
Gerri was the new thing once.

- CONNOR: Remember?
- SHIV: Huh.

You think he ever boned Gerri?

I don't know.

I just think we need to be careful.

Aw, what's wrong?

You all wedgied up because
Rhea stood on your back

and worked your arms like an elliptical?

(CONNOR AND ROMAN LAUGH)

I'm just saying, I wonder
if we should have a plan,

you know, in case Dad
does something rash.

Connor, we're ready for you.

CONNOR: Oh. Okay. Wish me luck.

Hey, Dad. It's me, Connor Roy, your son.

I just want to say that you've
always been my superhero, Dad.

You fight the bad guys
and you always win.

I know we don't get to spend

as much time together
one-on-one as we'd like,

and that makes me sad,

but I'm unbelievably
proud to be your son.

I super love you, Super-Dad.

Hey, what's up?

(LOUDLY) Hey, how are you? Loud!

- What?
- And you're wearing the same clothes

as yesterday. You want us
to think you got laid.

- Nice try.
- (KENDALL CHUCKLES)

- CONNOR: Hey, Ken.
- KENDALL: Hey.

Siobhan's planning to kill Rhea.

Uh... No. I'm not.

We're having a discussion.
There's no plan.

I'm just encouraging us
to assess our options.

Okay. Is that our business?

The business with our name
on it, is it our business?

I don't know. If... You
know, if Dad's into it...

Like, whatever he thinks
is usually pretty on target.

Okay, well, I think Rhea is dangerous,

and I think we need to stop her.

Well, it... it's clear
you need to stop her.

What if she sells the company for parts?

Eight weeks ago,

Dad was ready to kick over
the whole sandcastle...

ROMAN: He didn't though, did he?

Struck a little deal on
the side instead, Shiv.

All right. You know what?

We need to put feelings aside
and call a family truce,

because we need to fuck her
from 100 different directions

at a thousand miles
an hour. I'm serious.

Uh... Kendall.

Yeah, I mean, I guess...

it would be nice to
keep it in the family.

ROMAN: Oh, Ken. Maybe tell
that heartwarming story

about how you tried to kill
him and take over the company.

That ought to moisten the old peepers.

So, Connor, I, um...

Do you know the sand that's in Sands?

You mean the nine metric
tons of Gypsum white

they gouged me for 5.29 a bag?

Sure, I know the sand.

So, I was sitting pretty
close to the stage,

and so, I... I had great seats,

and, um... and I think there's
something maybe living in it,

like per... perhaps
thriving in the sand,

uh, like sand mites, maybe?

I know nothing about that and
bear no legal responsibility.

You'll have to talk
to the sand supplier,

like everyone else.

GREG HIRSCH: Yeah, that's
cool, that's cool, um...

(GREG SIGHS)

Three thousand miles
to pose with signage.

Thank fuck I'm not busy.

You could still cancel.

LOGAN ROY: No, no, no.
Rhea's smart on this.

A little dinner, push 50 years
experience, 50 years growth.

Stress the experience. History.

A platform on which to make
a strategic announcement.

Logan.

Before we settle in,

um, there's a small matter we
wanted to make you aware of.

Uh-huh.

A former cruise employee,
James Weissel in accounting,

uh, so quite inside
the payments and so on,

seems to have gotten
spooked by a lawsuit,

and seems like he
might be about to talk.

I thought we had this all sewn up.

- I said I hoped...
- (YELLS) Don't... interrupt me.

You told me this was all sewn up.

Why am I only hearing about this now?

He was across the
Caribbean '90s situation,

the payouts and all
the other operations.

And then he went up the ladder.

He knows about the shadow logs.

He supervised a number
of "Mo aftermaths".

Okay. Okay. Give him the storm warning.

Get rat-fucker Sam to give him the talk,

"We have endless resources.
We will destroy your life."

- Who knows?
- Kendall, Karl.

- Rhea?
- No. Nope.

Good.

I really don't want this
shit in my ears, you know?

Figure it out.

(SCOFFS)

SHIV: So, Rhea really took the reins

on this weekend planning, huh?

Yeah. She's been very active.

Well... (INHALES SHARPLY)
Must be tough for you, though.

How so?

I just...

I know how he can be when
he has a new enthusiasm.

Don't worry about me.

I'm not a child.

I don't piss on the carpet
every time it thunders.

I just think we share
some similar interests.

I mean, is it okay to let
her do this much planning?

If she wants to throw
him a big surprise party,

who am I to spoil it?

(GROANS) Wasn't such a fucking
hootenanny there either.

Nah. This place...

I look around and... I don't know.

We came back for, um...
when my mother died,

but it was all so... complicated.

You can't explain it.

It's not what you think.

You look at the old pictures

it's all so fucking simple,

Oh, my pleasure.

So, are you a person who, uh, can't look

someone in the eye
after you've fucked them?

I acted in good faith.

Yeah, I mean, that's what's truly scary,

'cause I think you believe that.

What, do you outsource your fuckery?

You got the right brain
for your TED Talks,

- left brain for your killings?
- That's very unfair.

(SCOFFS, CHUCKLES) Oh,
well, I feel bad now.

I put you forward to Pierce,
and it got out of hand.

Your dad obviously felt out of the loop

and it wasn't as I intended.

Yeah, I hear you're
putting some names together

- for Dad's CEO search.
- Uh-huh, various individuals.

Including yourself?

Well, the pool is small
for this type of position.

Oh. Yeah. Wow. What a surprise.

He needs someone

before the shareholder
meeting. You know that.

SHIV: Yeah, and I wonder
which way you're leaning.

Who's catching your eye to recommend?

You leaning towards
someone, say, like me

who wants to kill you,

or... yourself,

for a second chance at a
multi-million-dollar payday?

I'm intrigued. Keep me posted.

So, are you hearing
anything majorly major

about big shit or whatever
through the shit-vine?

In what sense?

In the sense of the
little blonde goblin.

Is she about to gobble up all the power?

(DOOR LOCK BEEPS)

(SIGHS)

So, um, Frank is concerned.

He says this feels like something new.

ROMAN: Yeah, but he does this, right?

Dad. I mean, remember when
he bought that chick a harp?

Oh, Sally Anne?

She didn't even know how to play it.

This is something else.

He's losing focus.

Out to dinner four nights a week.

The shareholder vote
is going to be close.

If the board gets replaced,
it'll be a clean sweep.

- We could do with options.
- Mm-hmm.

I've made sure that Eduard is invited.

Could you seduce?

(CLOCKS TONGUE) Uh... I don't know.

Do you find me seductive?

I can give him a rim.

- I could rim with vim.
- Could they take us private?

Hmm. They want us to open up
a propaganda news operation.

GERRI KELLMAN: It's that serious, Roman.

We get the money, boom.
Much less oversight.

ROMAN: Hmm? Okay. Well, I will...

I will talk to him, then.

Oh, and, um, one more thing, real quick.

Should we... get married?

What?

You know, not that. Like, an equivalent.

Uh... A thing, like I abduct you
and force you to live with me.

Uh... That's not equivalent.

Well, then, you kill me,

you chop my dick off,
you know, something.

I'm kidding but you
know what I'm saying.

Uh... You eat me, I eat

are we going to do here?

I feel like we should
maybe buy an island,

put in a giant island sized bed,

You ever been to Dundee?
You wanna come to Dundee?

What about my play?

The play? Uh...

I mean, it's, like,
two nights off. Come on.

It's not Arthur Miller, right?

sexually transmitted diseases?

I don't know who else you're screwing.

This... This isn't

Of course. Thank you, Rhea.

Sure. Uh-huh. All good. Honing in.

Uh-huh. Oh, good. Good.

the lead on the little dinner,

all the politics and,
you know, what-not.

Well, I'm pleased to help, but
I'm sensing some turbulence.

Uh-huh.

Shiv.

Oh. Shiv. (CHUCKLES) She runs hot.

She makes boogie men

out of the clothes she
dumps on her bedroom floor.

Always has.

Well, just as long as you
don't mind a bit of feedback.

A few noses are out of joint.
Strong French feelings.

I'm worried I might get
blinded with a baguette.

ROMAN: Just say Rhea beats her
dog or boyfriend or I don't know.

SHIV: Uh... Dad would love that.

The thing you think is ammo is not ammo.

We need to be clear, direct,
with a line of attack.

You know, "liberal, duplicitous".

"She's a two-faced snowflake
with cum on her dress."

Tell her to ask about Rose.

This sounds schemey. Redolent of thwart.

Yeah. How do you feel about

money bought, shall we?

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

- Everything's state of the art.
- LOGAN: Hmm.

Inking, web-offset press.

We like to say,

we've got a better set
up than most UK papers.

Wow.

A whole school for how to
intern at a clickbait aggregator?

(CHUCKLES) Yeah.

"Ten reasons why you're
never getting paid."

(CHUCKLES)

I'm sorry, I have to ask.

Why are you trying to fuck me?

Trying to fuck you? What do you mean?

Rose. We both know what that was.

If anything, I'm just, uh,

mildly offended on behalf of
my sister and Frank, Gerri.

And I wonder about the optics, but, uh,

hey, my dad knows, so...

- Yeah?
- Even so.

I don't know how
you've done it, frankly.

What with everything
you've been through.

Uh-huh.

You're good, though.

(SCOFFS) Right.

- Thank you.
- No.

You're good,

but you're still in the
rock tumbler right now.

You're not ready.

I'm good.

I mean, I'm over my shit.

And I've met someone new.

I mean, she is fantastic.

And, uh, so, yeah, I'm...

I'm not in the place you think I'm in.

No, it's okay.

But when we're out on the
other side of this all...

it's you.

RHEA: I'm telling you
now. It's always been you.

Well...

thank you.

I don't know about that, but thank you.

(APPLAUSE)

Um... They're asking if
you want to stay for lunch.

Fuck, no.

I'll be sure to feed that back
to them. "Fuck, no". Got it.

Ah. Look who made it.

Are you going to change the
name of the airport, too?

As you fly off?

Marcia call you?

EWAN ROY: No. Your new one.

Oh, right.

The Logan Roy School of Journalism.

What's next?

The Jack the Ripper
Women's Health Clinic?

You, uh, had a poke around the town?

I've seen enough.

You've been spreading your
name all over this place

like it was graffiti.

They tried to get me to
go into the old house.

Another plaque.

I saw a mistle thrush at the bandstand.

(LAUGHS) Sure, you did.

- Oh, this old bastard.
- (EWAN LAUGHS)

LOGAN: I used to keep a
log of the birds I'd see.

Your grandpa would go through it

and scrub out the ones he
didn't believe I'd seen.

You were always fairly
generous with your sightings.

(PHONE BUZZING)

- Yeah.
- AUTOMATED VOICE: Hello, valued shareholder,

you will soon have a critical

- decision to make...
- LOGAN: What the fuck is this?

... regarding your
investment in Waystar.

(PHONE BEEPS)

They're fucking robocalling me now.

I was gonna say, it's
nice to see you and, uh,

and the old brother having a chat.

Yeah, well...

GREG: Yeah, he's a tough old bird.

- But... But he's, uh... he's...
- He's morally bankrupt.

He's a nothing man who may well be...

more personally responsible
for the death of this planet...

than any other single human being.

He also makes the Kalispitron franchise,

which is, uh, you know,
solid, mediocre entertainment.

In terms of the lives that will be lost

by his whoring for the
climate change deniers,

there's a very persuasive
argument to be made...

that he's worse than Hitler.

(STUTTERS) Right, well...

And I'd appreciate it if
you'd stop working for him.

Okay, um, well... (STUTTERS)

so, I have moved up significantly,

and this might sound dumb,

but maybe I can kind of
work it from the inside,

- and that way...
- If you refuse,

I think it's well within my rights...

to remove your name from
amongst the beneficiaries

of my last will and testament.

Okay.

Because that's... that's
quite a pretty penny.

Around 250 mil.

And I'm sure Greenpeace
would be very much obliged.

No, de... definitely,
that is quite a pickle.

- EWAN: Mm.
- That is a tough one.

Oh, my God, you smell like cotton candy.

I almost want to lick

Thanks for coming, man.

My dad'll be very pleased
when he sees, you know,

old friends and...

Hi, yes, sir. Yeah, I'll take
one of those golden beauties.

What's this?

Scottish. I'm thinking of getting in.

Scottish kicky-ball?

It looks like two eunuchs
trying to fuck a letterbox.

I'm liking the look of Hibs. Or Hearts.

- Yeah?
- Mm.

Hearts, that's my dad's team.

The only childhood relic he can stomach.

- Agent in Spain, big baller.
- Mm-hm.

I buy the club, he loans
me nine shit hot players.

- ROMAN: Mm-hm.
- We climb the ladder,

take the second Champion's League space,

UEFA goes full European super-league,

flip it, walk away.

I have no idea what
you're talking about,

but it sounds fucking slick, dude.

Slicker than cum on a dolphin's back.

You want in?

ROMAN: Hm. Maybe.

Uh... But can we talk
about what we talked about?

You know, a major injection,
or even taking us private.

Have you talked to your dad?

It's a conversation we can have.

Then we should totally have
that fucking conversation,

like two fucking auctioneers on coke.

I have total 360 latitude to
work on my father's behalf.

Oh, cool. Same with

- So...
- Willa asked me to check in,

'cause Jennifer is, like,
a key member of the cast.

Would it be possible

to send Jennifer back to be on stage?

Well, no, I'm afraid,

because Jennifer and
I are currently engaged

in one of the all-time great
psychosexual expeditions.

We're like the Lewis

Come on, man. I'm begging you here.

Excuse me? How did she get to you?

Oh, you think you'll be given
another shot at some point,

ever? No.

No, she thinks you're a dipshit,

or maybe you're just too much
of a fucking dipshit to see that.

Fuck you. I know more about
this business than you.

should sell my company.

You hear what you wanna hear,

then you punish me for
something I didn't say.

I may have made some misjudgments.

You're careless.

- You've been careless of me.
- Marcia.

I'm bored. You are boring me.

Excuse me, it's time for
the plaque now, Mr. Roy.

- I'm going.
- LOGAN: Marcia.

Don't be fucking stupid. It's a plaque.

(WHISPERS) Oh, God forbid, I
will miss the plaque. Right?

Your shiny little gravestone.

Guess you'll have to
face your reckoning alone.

Mother would have hated all this.

And that trash you call news.

Now, we last saw her
when you were five...

and I was four...

but you know what kind of journalism

she would've approved of?

I know she never would've
approved of what you've become.

What? Your meal ticket?

I'm just surprised
you're still standing.

Any other man would've
died from the shame.

- Uh-huh.
- It's hard to know

which is more toxic:

your news outlets or
your cruise division.

All those years blaming
yourself for Rose.

- I'm not interested.
- That really wasn't your fault.

This, though...

This is your fault.

This empire of shit.

Time to pay up.

it is that time.

Is that someone known
to you, Mr. Wambsgams?

Uh, no, no, sorry.

No, Tom?

As the next CEO, it might
be wise to keep clean.

That scares me.

Any chance you guys have the
muscle to take us private?

Outside! I can't have this now!

Ten bad minutes on camera in D.C....

That could be it, the end.

Mr. Roy, a pleasure to welcome you home.

Oh, I don't recall people
shedding a tear when I left.

JESSE ARMSTRONG: It's a pretty
touching episode to make

because Brian Cox, the actor,
comes from Dundee in Scotland.

He was the guy driving around
places he knew from his youth

as he plays Logan, being
a guy driving around

places that he knows from his youth, so,

it was very affecting to see that.

This place, you look at the old pictures

and they all want you to think it's all

so fucking simple, but it wasn't.

What they say, you know?

ARMSTRONG: In the writer's
room, we always knew there was

an element of tragedy in his early life.

There it is. What am I supposed to do?

I think maybe a photo.
They've said you can go in.

No, thank you. Let's go.

Ahh, memories.

- Marcia, you look lovely.
- Oh, thank you.

Uh, so... Something
I wanted to ask you...

ARMSTRONG: Marcia, she
doesn't come from the same

cultural background as
the rest of the characters,

and so her rhythms
are slightly different.

Are you regularly tested for
sexually transmitted diseases?

Excuse me? (CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)

He and I still sleep together,

so I would be more relaxed
to know that you are clean.

And I think she shocks people
and puts them on their heels,

so it was interesting
seeing her do that to Rhea.

(STAMMERS) This isn't
appropriate talk...

When I lose...

the other one will
generally lose an eye or so.

CROWD: Surprise!

Rhea organizes what we
call the Logan-athon.

She thinks it will be nice.

LOGAN ROY: Jesus H. Christ.

ARMSTRONG: I don't know whether
she's quite judged, exactly,

things that Logan prizes in life,

which are generally about going forward,

not huge on the past.

It's a pleasure to have
you here tonight to honor

my dad's life and work.

Rhea asked me to help out

with a little tribute to the
certain, uh, flava.

ARMSTRONG: The idea of Kendall rapping
was, I remember, I was thinking,

if you heard a billionaire's
son had done that,

it would be like, yeah,
sounds like the sort of

toe-curling thing you
might see on Instagram.

(RAPPING) ♪ L to the
O-G dude be the OG ♪

♪ A-N, he playin' ♪

ARMSTRONG: It was nice, and
we had that whole V and A

in Dundee that was full
of background people

and people just responded naturally.

I think it's pretty embarrassing.

It's also kind of good.
