00:00:05,046 --> 00:00:07,048
[Philip]
Previously on Billions.
2
00:00:08,049 --> 00:00:09,467
I buy a half hour
3
00:00:09,509 --> 00:00:12,012
on every major network,
live speech.
4
00:00:12,053 --> 00:00:14,472
Solicit honest feedback
from your employees.
5
00:00:14,514 --> 00:00:17,225
Use it as fuel for the speech.
6
00:00:17,267 --> 00:00:19,728
He goes into the speech
confident, he comes out sailing.
7
00:00:19,769 --> 00:00:21,479
I've been told
I needed to see you.
8
00:00:21,521 --> 00:00:23,898
When Wendy wants something,
she's very persuasive.
9
00:00:23,940 --> 00:00:25,817
And that's why I called her.
10
00:00:25,859 --> 00:00:27,152
With Bradford running point,
11
00:00:27,193 --> 00:00:28,528
the feedback's
gonna be jet fuel.
12
00:00:28,570 --> 00:00:30,071
So you want us to go back around
13
00:00:30,113 --> 00:00:31,740
and troll for negative feedback?
14
00:00:31,781 --> 00:00:33,658
This could implode MPC,
15
00:00:33,700 --> 00:00:36,327
as well as the campaign
and all of our places in it.
16
00:00:36,369 --> 00:00:38,413
I would consider it
a personal favor.
17
00:00:39,706 --> 00:00:41,416
[Chuck]
We are gonna do something
18
00:00:41,458 --> 00:00:43,710
extremely hard.
19
00:00:43,752 --> 00:00:45,712
When did I become
Lex Luthor?
20
00:00:45,754 --> 00:00:48,673
Someone's quitting
isn't capitulation.
21
00:00:49,758 --> 00:00:50,967
So I shouldn't worry
22
00:00:51,009 --> 00:00:52,634
about seeking real love.
23
00:00:52,677 --> 00:00:54,721
I'm saying the way to get it
is to be a winner.
24
00:00:54,763 --> 00:00:56,222
Thank you...
25
00:00:56,264 --> 00:00:58,058
for not keeping me safe.
26
00:00:58,099 --> 00:01:01,061
The destiny is in me.
27
00:01:02,437 --> 00:01:03,979
I put him back together
28
00:01:04,021 --> 00:01:06,733
after you kicked the pieces
across the floor.
29
00:01:06,775 --> 00:01:08,401
I'm Mike Prince.
30
00:01:08,443 --> 00:01:10,403
Mike is trending
on every platform.
31
00:01:10,445 --> 00:01:12,238
It's done.
32
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:13,823
I saw.
33
00:01:13,865 --> 00:01:16,659
Someday, and that day
will definitely come,
34
00:01:16,701 --> 00:01:19,996
I will call upon you
to repay this debt.
35
00:01:50,652 --> 00:01:52,237
This is totally amazing.
36
00:01:53,446 --> 00:01:55,907
That's how I do. I aim to amaze.
37
00:01:55,948 --> 00:01:58,284
You've done it. I thought it was
only a theoretical model.
38
00:01:58,326 --> 00:02:00,620
It was, back when you were
a Stanford Cardinal.
39
00:02:00,662 --> 00:02:02,372
It's viable now.
40
00:02:02,412 --> 00:02:04,290
What compressive strength
have you managed to achieve?
41
00:02:04,332 --> 00:02:08,086
As you know, the standard crap
ranges from 3,000 to 5,000 psi.
42
00:02:08,128 --> 00:02:09,796
My little baby
gets close to 6,000.
43
00:02:09,838 --> 00:02:11,881
-Damn.
-Plus, when the cracks form,
44
00:02:11,923 --> 00:02:13,967
the bacteria creates
a self-healing effect.
45
00:02:14,008 --> 00:02:16,553
It's an organic, high-tech mimic
of the lime clasts
46
00:02:16,594 --> 00:02:19,388
and volcanic ash
from Ancient Roman concrete
47
00:02:19,430 --> 00:02:21,599
that's had those buildings
standing for thousands of years.
48
00:02:21,641 --> 00:02:22,976
-Beautiful.
-Yeah.
49
00:02:23,017 --> 00:02:24,561
It's almost ready
to go to market
50
00:02:24,602 --> 00:02:26,479
and present
to the Cement Masons unions.
51
00:02:26,521 --> 00:02:28,648
That's why I moved the lab
here a little while back.
52
00:02:28,690 --> 00:02:30,400
Before you do,
53
00:02:30,441 --> 00:02:32,152
you gotta let me walk you
in to my guy.
54
00:02:40,034 --> 00:02:41,452
[thud]
55
00:02:44,664 --> 00:02:46,249
[engine turns off]
56
00:02:59,596 --> 00:03:02,265
[Quinn]
Okay, so you are gonna want
57
00:03:02,307 --> 00:03:05,268
to practice your starts,
your stops, your signals,
58
00:03:05,310 --> 00:03:08,021
and your merges
before your next road test
59
00:03:08,061 --> 00:03:09,856
so you don't have to do
this whole Phi Slama Jama
60
00:03:09,898 --> 00:03:11,274
a third time.
61
00:03:11,316 --> 00:03:13,818
So I definitely failed?
62
00:03:13,860 --> 00:03:15,695
Flatter than a pancake.
63
00:03:17,071 --> 00:03:18,698
And when you're ready
to give it another go,
64
00:03:18,740 --> 00:03:21,534
you just head to the website
and book another test.
65
00:03:21,576 --> 00:03:24,954
[Senior] Well, since-- since we
know he'll pass the next one,
66
00:03:24,996 --> 00:03:28,458
how's about we save everyone
the trouble.
67
00:03:28,499 --> 00:03:30,126
He was so close this time.
68
00:03:30,168 --> 00:03:34,172
There must be a way
to shave a point or add one?
69
00:03:34,214 --> 00:03:36,883
Close? No.
Not a word I'd use.
70
00:03:36,925 --> 00:03:38,676
The bus was close, though.
71
00:03:38,718 --> 00:03:40,386
Which bus?
72
00:03:40,428 --> 00:03:42,764
The bus that your young charge
almost sideswiped,
73
00:03:42,805 --> 00:03:45,516
like Rick Mahorn did Wilkins
that time.
74
00:03:46,725 --> 00:03:48,895
Phi Slama Jama.
Rick Mahorn.
75
00:03:48,936 --> 00:03:50,939
You're a sports fan.
76
00:03:50,980 --> 00:03:54,067
And unlike the boy, sir,
you are a quick study.
77
00:03:54,108 --> 00:03:56,444
[laughs] That I am.
78
00:03:56,486 --> 00:03:57,904
What's your name, sir?
79
00:03:57,946 --> 00:04:00,615
Quinn. Ern Quinn. Mr. Quinn.
80
00:04:00,657 --> 00:04:03,034
Well, Ern,
I think the thing to do
81
00:04:03,076 --> 00:04:05,995
is for you to get some tickets
to see a game,
82
00:04:06,037 --> 00:04:07,497
which is expensive, I know.
83
00:04:07,538 --> 00:04:09,165
So, what I'm thinking is,
84
00:04:09,207 --> 00:04:10,583
we make that happen...
85
00:04:13,753 --> 00:04:16,756
and then you make
the driver's license happen.
86
00:04:21,469 --> 00:04:23,846
-[police siren blurts]
-This is ridiculous.
87
00:04:25,265 --> 00:04:27,141
I was social friends
with Robert Moses!
88
00:04:28,893 --> 00:04:31,271
Don't say your daddy's name.
89
00:04:31,312 --> 00:04:32,605
I'll tell them
to call Mom.
90
00:04:32,647 --> 00:04:34,691
No. She'll flay me.
91
00:04:34,732 --> 00:04:36,401
I should have made one of them
come with me.
92
00:04:36,442 --> 00:04:38,278
These DMVs--
93
00:04:38,319 --> 00:04:41,656
Stands for Dumb Motherfucking
Varmints, by the way!--
94
00:04:43,283 --> 00:04:45,618
just want to charge
a higher price.
95
00:04:48,329 --> 00:04:51,791
I got this.
96
00:04:51,833 --> 00:04:53,376
[exclaims]
97
00:04:57,547 --> 00:04:59,090
To build.
98
00:04:59,132 --> 00:05:01,050
That's man's impulse.
99
00:05:01,092 --> 00:05:03,011
Well, mine, anyway.
100
00:05:03,052 --> 00:05:06,222
But the best-made structures,
how long do they last?
101
00:05:06,264 --> 00:05:09,058
Not long enough that future
civilizations won't use
102
00:05:09,100 --> 00:05:11,519
the rubble of ours
as a mere foundation.
103
00:05:11,561 --> 00:05:12,895
Until now.
104
00:05:12,937 --> 00:05:15,857
Bio-inspired
vascular concrete.
105
00:05:15,898 --> 00:05:18,776
It recognizes the weaknesses
within the concrete system
106
00:05:18,818 --> 00:05:22,488
and is able to enzymatically
repair itself.
107
00:05:22,530 --> 00:05:24,073
This will revolutionize
108
00:05:24,115 --> 00:05:25,575
the country's crumbling
infrastructure.
109
00:05:25,616 --> 00:05:27,327
This material
rebuilds the past,
110
00:05:27,368 --> 00:05:29,996
fortifies the present,
secures the future.
111
00:05:30,038 --> 00:05:31,622
This is magnificent.
112
00:05:31,664 --> 00:05:33,166
It really is.
113
00:05:33,207 --> 00:05:35,501
This is a game changer.
114
00:05:37,045 --> 00:05:38,755
But the path
from innovation to market
115
00:05:38,796 --> 00:05:40,340
is fraught with danger.
116
00:05:40,381 --> 00:05:42,091
It's Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots
out there.
117
00:05:42,133 --> 00:05:44,469
This can't be one of those
that doesn't make it.
118
00:05:44,510 --> 00:05:46,012
[laughs] Uh...
119
00:05:46,054 --> 00:05:48,973
What danger, exactly?
120
00:05:49,015 --> 00:05:53,019
Deep-pocketed competitors,
copycats,
121
00:05:53,061 --> 00:05:54,729
foreign governments
willing to steal it.
122
00:05:54,771 --> 00:05:56,356
As you know,
all those things and more
123
00:05:56,397 --> 00:05:58,566
can destroy
a young company.
124
00:05:58,608 --> 00:06:01,527
But I can protect it.
And you.
125
00:06:02,903 --> 00:06:05,031
[typing]
126
00:06:11,829 --> 00:06:13,247
[sighs]
127
00:06:13,289 --> 00:06:16,751
You see, man's impulse
is also to buy.
128
00:06:16,793 --> 00:06:19,796
I want to get behind this
in a big way.
129
00:06:19,837 --> 00:06:22,048
I can take care of knocking out
the competitors,
130
00:06:22,090 --> 00:06:24,926
as well as all
the execution stuff,
131
00:06:24,967 --> 00:06:26,344
the blocking and tackling
132
00:06:26,386 --> 00:06:27,845
you don't need
to get bogged down with.
133
00:06:27,887 --> 00:06:30,473
This is something
that will help the world,
134
00:06:30,515 --> 00:06:32,225
and we'll all get rich doing it.
135
00:06:32,266 --> 00:06:35,895
I'm having in-house counsel join
136
00:06:35,937 --> 00:06:38,689
so we can move quickly
and aggressively.
137
00:06:38,731 --> 00:06:42,151
I'm prepared to purchase
your entire company
138
00:06:42,193 --> 00:06:43,653
and back a more robust
timetable,
139
00:06:43,694 --> 00:06:45,905
rolling this out
in the next 14 months.
140
00:06:45,947 --> 00:06:49,117
No, no, I'm not
handing you the reins.
141
00:06:51,202 --> 00:06:53,746
This is my life's work.
142
00:06:53,788 --> 00:06:55,706
Which you'll lose no matter what
143
00:06:55,748 --> 00:06:57,458
now that you've stuck
your head out.
144
00:06:58,793 --> 00:07:00,545
But we can prevent that.
145
00:07:00,586 --> 00:07:01,921
We will prevent it.
146
00:07:01,963 --> 00:07:03,214
This way, your vision
is protected
147
00:07:03,256 --> 00:07:04,757
and you get paid fairly.
148
00:07:04,799 --> 00:07:06,634
You don't buy me out.
149
00:07:06,676 --> 00:07:09,177
I made my bones when you were
going out with cheerleaders.
150
00:07:09,220 --> 00:07:11,722
So, a Moe Greene no.
151
00:07:13,224 --> 00:07:15,601
What ended up happening
to old Moe after that?
152
00:07:22,900 --> 00:07:24,610
Thank you all
for your time.
153
00:07:24,652 --> 00:07:26,320
And the fucking scones.
154
00:07:29,198 --> 00:07:30,491
I'm not selling.
155
00:07:35,496 --> 00:07:37,206
[door opens]
156
00:07:40,668 --> 00:07:41,961
[door closes]
157
00:07:42,003 --> 00:07:43,337
[clears throat]
158
00:07:44,589 --> 00:07:46,257
[sighs]
159
00:07:46,299 --> 00:07:49,427
Look, he put his whole
professional life into this.
160
00:07:49,469 --> 00:07:51,929
I just think he didn't see
the blitzkrieg coming.
161
00:07:51,971 --> 00:07:53,639
I didn't either.
162
00:07:53,681 --> 00:07:56,267
Maybe you can go
and talk to him.
163
00:07:56,309 --> 00:07:58,269
I can. I'll try.
164
00:07:58,311 --> 00:08:00,229
But he is stubborn.
165
00:08:00,271 --> 00:08:01,898
I mean, real stubborn.
166
00:08:01,939 --> 00:08:03,691
Yeah, okay, you do that.
167
00:08:03,733 --> 00:08:06,277
Talk some reason into him.
This is the way he wins.
168
00:08:06,319 --> 00:08:08,028
Because if I can't have
his company this way,
169
00:08:08,070 --> 00:08:09,279
I want his tech.
170
00:08:09,322 --> 00:08:10,656
And I'll get it.
171
00:08:11,990 --> 00:08:14,202
Legally. Aboveboard.
172
00:08:14,243 --> 00:08:16,829
Fins up, you know
what I'm saying, Kate?
173
00:08:21,375 --> 00:08:23,419
We'll make a dang fortune,
and this is the kind of idea
174
00:08:23,461 --> 00:08:26,255
custom-made to campaign on.
175
00:08:26,297 --> 00:08:29,800
A new foundation
for America.
176
00:08:29,842 --> 00:08:31,677
I'm on it.
177
00:08:34,472 --> 00:08:35,848
[door opens]
178

00:08:42,396 --> 00:08:43,648
[sighs]
180
00:08:43,689 --> 00:08:45,608
[cell phone vibrates]
181
00:08:48,402 --> 00:08:50,029
Hello, son.
182
00:08:50,071 --> 00:08:52,865
Dad, I'm fine.
183
00:08:52,907 --> 00:08:55,034
Kev, that's code
for "not fine."
184
00:08:55,076 --> 00:08:57,828
I fucked up
and said your name.
185
00:08:57,870 --> 00:08:59,539
[Chuck] To whom?
186
00:08:59,580 --> 00:09:02,750
I found the one sorry
son of a bitch at the DMV
187
00:09:02,792 --> 00:09:06,462
that doesn't know the difference
between a gratuity and a bribe.
188
00:09:07,421 --> 00:09:08,881
Don't say another word,
189
00:09:08,923 --> 00:09:10,383
either of you.
190
00:09:14,178 --> 00:09:15,680
I'm planning
on telling Mike
191
00:09:15,721 --> 00:09:17,098
he should punt
on the performance reviews.
192
00:09:17,139 --> 00:09:18,933
Oh, you're planning.
193
00:09:20,059 --> 00:09:21,686
Well, I mean,
if you want to,
194
00:09:21,727 --> 00:09:23,229
I'll of course
step back and--
195
00:09:23,271 --> 00:09:24,814
I thought that's why
you said it that way,
196
00:09:24,855 --> 00:09:26,065
so I would do it for you.
197
00:09:26,107 --> 00:09:27,692
For Mike. For the firm.
198
00:09:27,733 --> 00:09:30,444
It's not something
that can be punted.
199
00:09:30,486 --> 00:09:33,739
After those truth-telling
sessions, folks are queasy.
200
00:09:33,781 --> 00:09:35,616
I think the staff knows
that Mike would never use
201
00:09:35,658 --> 00:09:38,286
performance reviews
as a way to exact vengeance
202
00:09:38,327 --> 00:09:40,705
on people who merely spoke
the truth about what they felt.
203
00:09:40,746 --> 00:09:42,623
Yeah, well, the mere fact
204
00:09:42,665 --> 00:09:44,959
that you just referred
to them as "staff"
205
00:09:45,001 --> 00:09:47,044
says a lot about how
they'll feel being judged.
206
00:09:47,086 --> 00:09:48,588
Well, I guess your finger
is just lodged
207
00:09:48,629 --> 00:09:49,880
right on the carotid of--
208
00:09:49,922 --> 00:09:51,507
[Wags] No guesswork.
209
00:09:51,549 --> 00:09:53,509
That's all anybody talked
about at movie night.
210
00:09:53,551 --> 00:09:55,761
Movie night? Is that
a colloquialism for something?
211
00:09:55,803 --> 00:09:57,263
Popcorn. Big screen.
212
00:09:57,305 --> 00:09:59,015
I'm surprised
you decided to skip.
213
00:10:00,057 --> 00:10:01,601
Oh, shit.
214
00:10:01,642 --> 00:10:03,436
Didn't know
this was a thing.
215
00:10:03,477 --> 00:10:05,229
Wasn't invited.
216
00:10:05,271 --> 00:10:06,939
I should have
double-checked their list.
217
00:10:06,981 --> 00:10:08,899
-I just assumed they'd--
-What'd you watch?
218
00:10:08,941 --> 00:10:10,443
Double feature.
219
00:10:10,484 --> 00:10:11,777
Glengarry
and Wolf of Wall Street.
220
00:10:11,819 --> 00:10:13,362
[chuckles] Of course.
221
00:10:13,404 --> 00:10:15,239
Do they even know what Wolf
is really saying?
222
00:10:15,281 --> 00:10:16,449
Victor does.
223
00:10:16,490 --> 00:10:19,368
Sacker, obv. Rian.
224
00:10:19,410 --> 00:10:21,287
The rest,
they think they should know
225
00:10:21,329 --> 00:10:23,247
how to sell a pen better.
226
00:10:23,289 --> 00:10:25,124
-You'll come next time.
-Oh, no.
227
00:10:25,166 --> 00:10:27,460
You're the man of the people.
I'll remain where I belong.
228
00:10:27,501 --> 00:10:29,587
Slightly above the staff.
229
00:10:29,629 --> 00:10:31,255
Your words, not mine.
230
00:10:36,552 --> 00:10:38,262
Scooter just texted me.
231
00:10:38,304 --> 00:10:39,972
I understand the concern
about the performance reviews.
232
00:10:40,014 --> 00:10:41,807
-When the fuck did you--?
-You don't get here
233
00:10:41,849 --> 00:10:43,476
without being able
to multitask.
234
00:10:43,517 --> 00:10:45,436
Like how you can do
a double shot of Michter's
235
00:10:45,478 --> 00:10:48,147
while re-enacting your favorite
Nikki Dial-Rocco Siffredi scene.
236
00:10:48,189 --> 00:10:49,649
Who are those people?
237
00:10:49,690 --> 00:10:50,983
[both]
Better you don't know.
238
00:10:51,025 --> 00:10:52,526
Okay.
239
00:10:52,568 --> 00:10:54,904
I'll recuse myself
from the review process.
240
00:10:54,945 --> 00:10:56,906
I was planning
on doing it anyway.
241
00:10:56,947 --> 00:10:59,659
I can't be seen as rewarding or
punishing anyone on the team...
242
00:10:59,700 --> 00:11:01,452
Team. Not staff.
There you go.
243
00:11:01,494 --> 00:11:03,496
...just because they said
bad or good things about me.
244
00:11:03,537 --> 00:11:05,122
Still, we have to do it.
245
00:11:05,164 --> 00:11:07,166
Can't go forward
without a thorough look back
246
00:11:07,208 --> 00:11:11,170
and a real evaluation of trading
tendencies, habits, all of it.
247
00:11:11,212 --> 00:11:13,172
How does that work
without you in the middle of it?
248
00:11:13,214 --> 00:11:14,840
You two will run the thing.
249
00:11:14,882 --> 00:11:16,759
I'm glad to leave it
in your able hands.
250
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,520
I need in there. Thank you.
251
00:11:30,398 --> 00:11:32,358
Dad. Kevin. What?
252
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,069
It's just
a bureaucratic squabble.
253
00:11:35,111 --> 00:11:37,738
This aged man's attempt
at bribing me
254
00:11:37,780 --> 00:11:41,826
failed as badly as this young
man failed his driving test.
255
00:11:41,867 --> 00:11:43,994
-He called the cops.
-You called the cops?
256
00:11:44,036 --> 00:11:45,371
I called the cops.
257
00:11:45,413 --> 00:11:47,707
[officer]
If money changed hands,
258
00:11:47,748 --> 00:11:49,875
we're going to have
to arrest and charge.
259
00:11:49,917 --> 00:11:51,377
[sighs]
260
00:11:51,419 --> 00:11:53,129
Don't make me
ask the question.
261
00:11:54,922 --> 00:11:56,215
What question is that?
262
00:11:56,257 --> 00:11:58,134
Please.
263
00:11:59,135 --> 00:12:01,137
Yes, I know who you are.
264
00:12:01,178 --> 00:12:02,805
But it's a tight spot here.
265
00:12:02,847 --> 00:12:05,433
Can we have a moment
with my father?
266
00:12:11,439 --> 00:12:12,898
[sighs]
267
00:12:14,275 --> 00:12:16,485
Charles, why are you
even here,
268
00:12:16,527 --> 00:12:18,320
and what did you think
you were doing?
269
00:12:18,362 --> 00:12:19,822
Making sure it went well.
270
00:12:19,864 --> 00:12:22,575
-[scoffs]
-That peon had it in for Kevin
271
00:12:22,616 --> 00:12:23,868
the moment he saw the Jag.
272
00:12:23,909 --> 00:12:25,244
It intimidated him.
273
00:12:27,288 --> 00:12:29,582
And like I said,
he didn't know the difference
274
00:12:29,623 --> 00:12:31,167
between a bribe and a tip.
275
00:12:31,208 --> 00:12:32,585
[Quinn] I heard that.
276
00:12:33,627 --> 00:12:35,421
You're going to jail.
277
00:12:35,463 --> 00:12:37,590
And Rhoades, Kevin,
will be prohibited
278
00:12:37,631 --> 00:12:40,259
from holding a license to drive
in New York state.
279
00:12:40,301 --> 00:12:42,094
Jesus!
280
00:12:45,848 --> 00:12:48,142
[Chuck] I am aware
that attempted bribery--
281
00:12:48,184 --> 00:12:50,728
if that is in fact what can be
proved to have happened here
282
00:12:50,770 --> 00:12:52,438
--is a serious offense.
283
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,774
I can guarantee his appearance
at arraignment,
284
00:12:54,815 --> 00:12:56,484
but if you will do me
the courtesy
285
00:12:56,525 --> 00:12:58,444
of releasing him
and referring this
286
00:12:58,486 --> 00:13:00,279
to the DA's office
for investigation,
287
00:13:00,321 --> 00:13:01,864
it would be appreciated.
288
00:13:01,906 --> 00:13:05,284
I'd have to check
with my superiors.
289
00:13:06,911 --> 00:13:09,121
Well, check with the commish.
290
00:13:09,163 --> 00:13:12,458
I have Raul Gomez
in my favorites.
291
00:13:12,500 --> 00:13:13,876
Thank you.
292
00:13:13,918 --> 00:13:15,586
[scoffs]
293
00:13:15,628 --> 00:13:18,380
The Department of Motor Vehicles
is not a playground
294
00:13:18,422 --> 00:13:20,049
for the well-connected
to do as they will.
295
00:13:20,090 --> 00:13:21,300
Ha!
296
00:13:21,342 --> 00:13:24,135
That is a clerk's mentality...
297
00:13:26,514 --> 00:13:30,476
and a clerk you will always
fucking be.
298
00:13:30,518 --> 00:13:32,394
Dad! Not helping.
299
00:13:32,436 --> 00:13:33,979
Uh...
300
00:13:34,021 --> 00:13:35,481
You know,
the sad fact is
301
00:13:35,523 --> 00:13:37,900
that some senility
awaits us all
302
00:13:37,942 --> 00:13:39,819
in the golden years.
303
00:13:39,860 --> 00:13:41,654
Oh, bullshit.
304
00:13:41,695 --> 00:13:44,073
Oh, are you saying he's...?
305
00:13:45,991 --> 00:13:48,619
There are over
100 types of dementia.
306
00:13:52,206 --> 00:13:56,126
So, it can be tough to pinpoint
which we're talking about,
307
00:13:56,168 --> 00:13:57,962
but I think it's clear
that something...
308
00:13:58,003 --> 00:13:59,964
My last med workup
says I'm sharp
309
00:14:00,005 --> 00:14:01,924
as a goddamn titanium tack.
310
00:14:01,966 --> 00:14:04,343
Can you say the same?
311
00:14:06,554 --> 00:14:08,264
The commissioner
is granting your request.
312
00:14:08,305 --> 00:14:09,515
You're free to go.
313
00:14:09,557 --> 00:14:10,766
But he is indeed
referring it
314
00:14:10,808 --> 00:14:12,017
to the DA's office.
315
00:14:12,059 --> 00:14:13,269
Great. Swell. Perfect.
316
00:14:13,310 --> 00:14:14,562
Wouldn't have it
any other way.
317
00:14:14,603 --> 00:14:15,855
Thank you, officer.
318
00:14:15,896 --> 00:14:17,439
And thank you, sir,
319
00:14:17,481 --> 00:14:20,150
for your fealty
to the auto safety corridor.
320
00:14:20,192 --> 00:14:23,487
I note the sarcasm,
for the record.
321
00:14:23,529 --> 00:14:24,947
[sighs]
322
00:14:27,575 --> 00:14:31,036
Bowing and scraping
like that?
323
00:14:31,078 --> 00:14:33,455
-[Chuck sighs]
-I thought you had juice!
324
00:14:33,497 --> 00:14:35,791
Can we just get out of here,
please?
325
00:14:42,089 --> 00:14:45,134
Well, this should be more fun
than movie night.
326
00:14:45,175 --> 00:14:46,844
No one thought
you would want to come.
327
00:14:46,886 --> 00:14:48,053
And right they were.
328
00:14:48,095 --> 00:14:49,597
[Philip]
Okay, on the screens
329
00:14:49,638 --> 00:14:51,098
in front of each of us
are dossiers
330
00:14:51,140 --> 00:14:52,850
covering the P&Ls, activities,
331
00:14:52,892 --> 00:14:56,061
results and tendencies
of each person who works at MPC.
332
00:14:56,103 --> 00:14:58,731
We will conduct interviews
and do the feedback sessions
333
00:14:58,772 --> 00:15:00,733
after we--
334
00:15:00,774 --> 00:15:02,276
We aren't at
the feedback stage yet.
335
00:15:02,318 --> 00:15:03,944
-You'll be called in.
-Yeah, no, we won't.
336
00:15:03,986 --> 00:15:07,406
My man speaketh the truth.
337
00:15:07,448 --> 00:15:09,950
I'm not sure why I just used
that biblical version of speak,
338
00:15:09,992 --> 00:15:11,702
but I did, so...
339
00:15:11,744 --> 00:15:14,622
Because what we are saying
is as monumental
340
00:15:14,663 --> 00:15:17,041
as that language implies.
341
00:15:17,082 --> 00:15:18,751
Yes. Yeah.
We were elected to tell you
342
00:15:18,792 --> 00:15:21,420
that we all reject
the framework of this panel
343
00:15:21,462 --> 00:15:22,796
judging us and our work.
344
00:15:22,838 --> 00:15:24,882
The employees can't reject--
345
00:15:24,924 --> 00:15:26,258
-Team members.
-Absolutely.
346
00:15:26,300 --> 00:15:27,927
The team members
can't reject the idea
347
00:15:27,968 --> 00:15:29,428
that their performance
is being evaluated.
348
00:15:29,470 --> 00:15:31,680
Well, we are rejecting you,
all of you,
349
00:15:31,722 --> 00:15:33,265
as the ones evaluating.
350
00:15:33,307 --> 00:15:35,851
You don't get to pick
how management decides.
351
00:15:35,893 --> 00:15:39,229
Management does.
That's how business works.
352
00:15:39,271 --> 00:15:41,398
Upon a time it did.
Not now.
353
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:42,608
It's true, Wags.
354
00:15:42,650 --> 00:15:44,526
We are in an un-brave new world.
355
00:15:47,404 --> 00:15:49,114
I mean, no offense,
Scooter,
356
00:15:49,156 --> 00:15:51,367
but you're not in touch
with the rank and file.
357
00:15:51,408 --> 00:15:52,952
You don't even come
to movie night.
358
00:15:52,993 --> 00:15:54,745
-I wasn't inv--
-'Cause we knew you wouldn't
359
00:15:54,787 --> 00:15:57,665
want to and didn't want
to put you in the position.
360
00:15:57,706 --> 00:16:01,043
As I said.
361
00:16:01,085 --> 00:16:03,504
Look, the only one with
the right to decide our fate
362
00:16:03,545 --> 00:16:05,464
is the actual decider.
363
00:16:05,506 --> 00:16:08,092
But you all said that once you
gave your evaluation of Prince,
364
00:16:08,133 --> 00:16:11,053
you weren't comfortable
with him conducting this review.
365
00:16:11,095 --> 00:16:13,889
That is right and true.
366
00:16:13,931 --> 00:16:15,808
Yeah, well, he decided
to change everything,
367
00:16:15,849 --> 00:16:18,811
so we all reject
the whole of it.
368
00:16:20,562 --> 00:16:22,314
You roll it all
for a least a year.
369
00:16:22,356 --> 00:16:24,358
No performance reviews
until then.
370
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,902
Or you can do it without
any performers to review.
371
00:16:26,944 --> 00:16:29,279
You do know that comp
is directly tied
372
00:16:29,321 --> 00:16:30,823
to performance review?
373
00:16:30,864 --> 00:16:32,741
Not this year,
it isn't.
374
00:16:41,500 --> 00:16:43,168
Well, fuck.
375
00:16:44,127 --> 00:16:45,504
Indeed.
376
00:16:49,549 --> 00:16:52,428
Well, you really brought out
the all-star team
377
00:16:52,469 --> 00:16:56,432
for this vital matter of state
security involving my father.
378
00:16:58,684 --> 00:17:00,686
As have you, Chuck,
379
00:17:00,728 --> 00:17:05,691
with the great and powerful
Freddie Eisen in your corner.
380
00:17:07,067 --> 00:17:09,820
He always brings a gun
to a knife fight.
381
00:17:09,862 --> 00:17:12,364
Yeah, it's just like
the government to lard it on.
382
00:17:12,406 --> 00:17:14,825
You're always looking for
a chance to squander resources.
383
00:17:14,867 --> 00:17:16,285
[chuckles]
384
00:17:16,326 --> 00:17:18,203
Uh, no offense, Chuck.
385
00:17:18,245 --> 00:17:19,496
Yeah, sure, Eisen.
386
00:17:19,538 --> 00:17:21,874
Look, I think we all know
387
00:17:21,915 --> 00:17:23,125
the bright light
of attention
388
00:17:23,167 --> 00:17:25,210
is on this matter
because of me.
389
00:17:25,252 --> 00:17:27,129
You're trying
to bleed me here.
390
00:17:27,171 --> 00:17:30,174
Bleed you? For what?
391
00:17:30,215 --> 00:17:32,760
A notch in your hatchet.
Uh, making a quota.
392
00:17:32,801 --> 00:17:35,429
Some time in the limelight.
Who knows?
393
00:17:35,471 --> 00:17:39,475
Rubbish. We have kept
the press out of it so far,
394
00:17:39,516 --> 00:17:41,226
and that's proof
that you're off base.
395
00:17:41,268 --> 00:17:43,645
But this is
a chargeable offense.
396
00:17:43,687 --> 00:17:45,189
Ah. This is where I come in.
397
00:17:45,230 --> 00:17:47,733
-Mm.
-Uh, rubbish.
398
00:17:47,775 --> 00:17:50,152
You're gonna have an impossible
time proving anything
399
00:17:50,194 --> 00:17:52,863
beyond giving
an unlawful gratuity,
400
00:17:52,905 --> 00:17:54,239
which is a class "A"
misdemeanor.
401
00:17:54,281 --> 00:17:57,076
So, no jail time,
402
00:17:57,117 --> 00:17:59,161
a fine,
403
00:17:59,203 --> 00:18:02,873
and a course... maybe.
404
00:18:02,915 --> 00:18:06,585
There is no driving course
on how not to be an asshole.
405
00:18:08,962 --> 00:18:12,382
But in this case,
maybe we invent one.
406
00:18:13,592 --> 00:18:15,385
[whispering inaudibly]
407
00:18:15,427 --> 00:18:16,804
Okay.
408
00:18:16,845 --> 00:18:19,056
But we expect
the maximum on the fine,
409
00:18:19,098 --> 00:18:23,143
and even that may not placate
the DMV folks.
410
00:18:24,770 --> 00:18:25,979
Agreed.
411
00:18:26,021 --> 00:18:28,023
You got a good deal here.
412
00:18:28,065 --> 00:18:29,942
A real sweetheart.
413
00:18:30,901 --> 00:18:32,111
[clicks tongue]
414
00:18:32,152 --> 00:18:33,779
Better than you deserve.
415
00:18:34,988 --> 00:18:36,448
If my client will take it.
416
00:18:38,075 --> 00:18:39,409
I'll let you know.
417
00:18:43,622 --> 00:18:46,208
[door opens]
418
00:18:46,250 --> 00:18:48,127
Well, if the bank
wants to call that loan,
419
00:18:48,168 --> 00:18:49,920
you tell them you'll move
the corpus of the trust
420
00:18:49,962 --> 00:18:51,713
to another institution.
421
00:18:51,755 --> 00:18:54,383
Dad, don't conduct your
so-called business from here.
422
00:18:54,424 --> 00:18:55,926
We have to resolve
this situation--
423
00:18:55,968 --> 00:18:57,469
Some birds are chirping
in the background.
424
00:18:57,511 --> 00:18:58,720
I can't hear a thing.
425
00:18:58,762 --> 00:19:01,014
Get back to me with good news.
426
00:19:03,934 --> 00:19:07,813
There is nothing to resolve with
the DMV as far as I'm concerned.
427
00:19:09,064 --> 00:19:11,191
Well, as counsel,
I have to disagree.
428
00:19:11,233 --> 00:19:13,986
At least present you
with the deal we were able to--
429
00:19:14,027 --> 00:19:16,697
Well, no matter how good a deal
you think you struck
430
00:19:16,738 --> 00:19:18,574
with your colleagues,
431
00:19:18,615 --> 00:19:20,534
I won't sign it.
432
00:19:21,743 --> 00:19:23,328
They should apologize to me.
433
00:19:23,370 --> 00:19:25,539
And Kevin.
434
00:19:25,581 --> 00:19:27,833
Thank you for your efforts,
Freddie.
435
00:19:30,043 --> 00:19:32,254
[sighs]
436
00:19:32,296 --> 00:19:35,007
You picked the wrong guy
to try to charm, Pop.
437
00:19:35,048 --> 00:19:36,508
So now you have to--
438
00:19:36,550 --> 00:19:40,012
That examiner
was a power-mad little man
439
00:19:40,053 --> 00:19:42,514
who should have passed Kevin
on principle alone.
440
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,475
[laughs]
441
00:19:45,517 --> 00:19:46,727
Uh...
442
00:19:46,768 --> 00:19:49,104
what principle is that?
443
00:19:49,146 --> 00:19:51,857
That the Rhoades family
has contributed more
444
00:19:51,899 --> 00:19:53,692
to this city and state than--
445
00:19:53,734 --> 00:19:55,861
Tell that to the bus driver.
446
00:19:55,903 --> 00:19:57,112
No, no.
447
00:19:57,154 --> 00:19:58,530
You see, close call or not,
448
00:19:58,572 --> 00:20:01,116
Kevin avoided that bus.
449
00:20:01,158 --> 00:20:02,659
-Ah.
-And that's all that matters.
450
00:20:02,701 --> 00:20:04,369
-That's real life.
-[laughs]
451
00:20:04,411 --> 00:20:06,955
Near collisions. Near disaster.
452
00:20:06,997 --> 00:20:08,624
That's when the mettle shows.
453
00:20:08,665 --> 00:20:10,667
Our boy has it.
454
00:20:10,709 --> 00:20:12,544
Shows he's got the skills.
455
00:20:14,046 --> 00:20:17,049
That still doesn't speak
to the attempted bribe.
456
00:20:18,091 --> 00:20:22,888
Boyo, if I take the fall
for unlawful gratuity,
457
00:20:22,930 --> 00:20:26,892
that DMV apparatchik
should go down for accepting it.
458
00:20:26,934 --> 00:20:28,560
[laughs]
459
00:20:28,602 --> 00:20:30,395
He didn't accept it.
460
00:20:30,437 --> 00:20:33,065
He allowed you to complete
the criminal act to bust you.
461
00:20:33,106 --> 00:20:34,858
Don't be such an asshole.
462
00:20:34,900 --> 00:20:37,361
Ah.
463
00:20:37,402 --> 00:20:38,904
If you saw the look
on Kevin's face
464
00:20:38,946 --> 00:20:41,114
when he heard
that he had failed...
465
00:20:43,158 --> 00:20:44,534
you'd have done the same.
466
00:20:45,953 --> 00:20:47,412
That's called love.
467
00:20:51,333 --> 00:20:53,335
Yeah, but I didn't see it...
468
00:20:55,671 --> 00:20:57,005
because I wasn't there.
469
00:21:00,384 --> 00:21:03,178
That is true.
470
00:21:03,220 --> 00:21:05,931
He asked you to take him.
471
00:21:06,974 --> 00:21:08,183
Not Wendy or me.
472
00:21:08,225 --> 00:21:09,601
[laughs]
473
00:21:11,478 --> 00:21:14,356
I had been so overtaken
with the idea
474
00:21:14,398 --> 00:21:16,441
that you insinuated yourself
475
00:21:16,483 --> 00:21:18,944
into the situation
with the examiner,
476
00:21:18,986 --> 00:21:20,362
I hadn't stopped to think--
477
00:21:20,404 --> 00:21:23,323
Well, it's high time you did.
478
00:21:24,992 --> 00:21:26,952
He reached out
to a paternal figure
479
00:21:26,994 --> 00:21:29,121
who was not, in fact...
480
00:21:31,081 --> 00:21:32,457
his father.
481
00:21:34,167 --> 00:21:37,045
Maybe he knew I'd risk
life and liberty on his behalf.
482
00:21:38,505 --> 00:21:40,966
Maybe he counted on that.
483
00:21:41,008 --> 00:21:45,554
Maybe he knew
I was the only one.
484
00:21:46,805 --> 00:21:48,140
[sighs]
485
00:21:51,310 --> 00:21:53,228
Who's the asshole now?
486
00:21:58,567 --> 00:22:02,362
Who's the asshole...
487
00:22:02,404 --> 00:22:04,281
now?
488
00:22:14,124 --> 00:22:15,876
[tapwater running]
489
00:22:25,344 --> 00:22:27,346
What the hell
did you do to me?
490
00:22:28,555 --> 00:22:29,973
To you, or for you?
491
00:22:30,015 --> 00:22:32,017
I went over his proposal,
and there's a ton
492
00:22:32,059 --> 00:22:33,810
of upside there.
And what he was saying
493
00:22:33,852 --> 00:22:35,520
about the pitfalls facing
a young company--
494
00:22:35,562 --> 00:22:37,856
You don't think I know
about the pitfalls?
495
00:22:37,898 --> 00:22:39,691
I told you and your
lab mates about them
496
00:22:39,733 --> 00:22:42,527
chapter and goddamn verse
back in the day, if you recall.
497
00:22:43,570 --> 00:22:45,822
This is different.
498
00:22:45,864 --> 00:22:49,242
This is a robber baron making
a move on a proprietary process.
499
00:22:49,284 --> 00:22:51,536
I'm telling you, Mike Prince
is one of the good guys.
500
00:22:51,578 --> 00:22:53,914
-[laughing] Oh, jeez!
-Does he have sharp elbows?
501
00:22:53,955 --> 00:22:55,415
Of course he does.
He has to.
502
00:22:55,457 --> 00:22:57,417
And you want him to.
It's what you need.
503
00:22:57,459 --> 00:23:01,630
But he's got the company's
best interests at heart.
504
00:23:01,671 --> 00:23:03,757
Is that why
he's started an attack?
505
00:23:05,217 --> 00:23:08,970
Your "good guy" Prince
506
00:23:09,012 --> 00:23:12,182
has begun buying up
rival patents.
507
00:23:12,224 --> 00:23:16,061
Even ones vaguely related
to what my process does.
508
00:23:16,103 --> 00:23:18,897
Which gives him standing
to sue me for infringement.
509
00:23:18,939 --> 00:23:21,024
Which will block my work
due to injunction,
510
00:23:21,066 --> 00:23:23,402
potentially for years.
511
00:23:23,443 --> 00:23:26,238
It's called patent sharking.
512
00:23:26,279 --> 00:23:29,408
And it's not
what good guys do.
513
00:23:32,786 --> 00:23:34,746
"Fins up." Fuck!
514
00:23:35,789 --> 00:23:37,749
Yeah-- Shit, look,
515
00:23:37,791 --> 00:23:41,670
it may not be exactly what you
wanted, but similar terms,
516
00:23:41,711 --> 00:23:43,922
some compromises
were always gonna be a reality.
517
00:23:45,132 --> 00:23:46,967
Selling to Prince
without a fight
518
00:23:47,008 --> 00:23:48,468
is the best move now.
519
00:23:48,510 --> 00:23:49,928
If you do,
Prince will relent
520
00:23:49,970 --> 00:23:51,596
and the company
will be spared all this.
521
00:23:51,638 --> 00:23:53,056
You hope.
522
00:23:54,766 --> 00:23:56,560
You will be credited
for creating
523
00:23:56,601 --> 00:23:58,562
this self-healing concrete.
524
00:23:58,603 --> 00:24:00,564
The Nobel Prize doesn't go
to the hedge fund dude
525
00:24:00,605 --> 00:24:02,774
who financed the thing.
526
00:24:02,816 --> 00:24:04,943
Let me lay out a look
at a slightly different future:
527
00:24:06,153 --> 00:24:07,487
yours.
528
00:24:10,031 --> 00:24:11,783
You, Philip...
529
00:24:13,785 --> 00:24:15,829
have been slowly,
or not so slowly,
530
00:24:15,871 --> 00:24:17,831
selling your soul.
531
00:24:17,873 --> 00:24:21,293
And soon,
there'll be none left.
532
00:24:21,334 --> 00:24:24,296
You'll never be happy
at Michael Prince Capital,
533
00:24:24,337 --> 00:24:26,131
because the longer you stay,
534
00:24:26,173 --> 00:24:28,300
the more you'll learn
about Michael Prince...
535
00:24:29,593 --> 00:24:31,470
and the more
you'll hate yourself.
536
00:24:37,184 --> 00:24:40,228
I've been
a scientist-businessman
537
00:24:40,270 --> 00:24:42,939
and a businessman-scientist.
538
00:24:42,981 --> 00:24:46,067
And when one serves
the other, it can work.
539
00:24:47,611 --> 00:24:51,323
The other way
is just a slow death
540
00:24:51,364 --> 00:24:53,325
of everything
you ever hoped to be.
541
00:24:53,366 --> 00:24:54,868
Marc, come on,
you still have a chance
542
00:24:54,910 --> 00:24:56,328
to win big on this
right now.
543
00:24:56,369 --> 00:24:58,955
You just got to show
some flexibility.
544
00:25:00,832 --> 00:25:04,211
It's a wonder I ever achieved
tenure without your counsel.
545
00:25:17,390 --> 00:25:18,975
[typing]
546
00:25:37,369 --> 00:25:39,371
In Will Guidara's book
Unreasonable Hospitality,
547
00:25:39,412 --> 00:25:41,122
he tells a story about how,
548
00:25:41,164 --> 00:25:43,792
when someone misses
a few meetings or is late,
549
00:25:43,833 --> 00:25:45,794
the instinct is
to get right in their face
550
00:25:45,835 --> 00:25:48,380
and give them
massive guff about it.
551
00:25:48,421 --> 00:25:50,340
Instead, Will says
the thing to do
552
00:25:50,382 --> 00:25:52,467
is check in
about their welfare first.
553
00:25:52,509 --> 00:25:54,386
I'm hunky-dory. Peachy keen.
554
00:25:54,427 --> 00:25:55,887
Look, I had stuff
to take care of.
555
00:25:55,929 --> 00:25:57,180
Business stuff, and--
556
00:25:57,222 --> 00:25:59,349
No. Or, yes, but...
557
00:25:59,391 --> 00:26:01,810
whatever's getting in your head,
distracting you from your work,
558
00:26:01,851 --> 00:26:03,395
because you did miss
two meetings,
559
00:26:03,436 --> 00:26:05,230
in which I covered,
of course, but--
560
00:26:05,272 --> 00:26:07,357
No, really, it's a business
thing I was seeing to.
561
00:26:07,399 --> 00:26:08,900
The Ruloff thing.
562
00:26:10,402 --> 00:26:12,279
You need to talk to Wendy.
563
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,698
Your breathing, your cadence,
the pitch of your voice
564
00:26:14,739 --> 00:26:16,074
tell me there's plenty
of emotion
565
00:26:16,116 --> 00:26:17,742
mixed in there
with the business.
566
00:26:17,784 --> 00:26:21,037
I've been there with
an innovator I cared about,
567
00:26:21,079 --> 00:26:23,164
thinking there was a balance
to be struck.
568
00:26:23,206 --> 00:26:24,624
And was there?
569
00:26:24,666 --> 00:26:26,209
No.
570
00:26:26,251 --> 00:26:27,961
I should have focused
only on the business.
571
00:26:28,003 --> 00:26:29,838
Because the corrosive,
controlling part
572
00:26:29,879 --> 00:26:33,008
was already in the inventor,
as it is with your Dr. Ruloff.
573
00:26:33,049 --> 00:26:35,093
That's why he doesn't want
to partner, he wants it all.
574
00:26:35,135 --> 00:26:37,095
I think you got him wrong.
575
00:26:37,137 --> 00:26:39,264
Wendy'll help you
figure that out.
576
00:26:47,397 --> 00:26:48,690
[knocks]
577
00:26:54,904 --> 00:26:56,197
[sighs]
578
00:26:56,239 --> 00:26:57,449
I fucked up.
579
00:26:57,490 --> 00:26:59,284
Huge mistake.
580
00:27:00,910 --> 00:27:03,204
How much is it gonna cost
Prince, the firm?
581
00:27:03,246 --> 00:27:04,581
No.
582
00:27:04,623 --> 00:27:06,374
The opposite, I think.
583
00:27:06,416 --> 00:27:10,211
But despite that,
if something isn't done,
584
00:27:10,253 --> 00:27:12,505
if I don't do something to
change what's about to happen,
585
00:27:12,547 --> 00:27:14,382
I don't know how the hell
I'm gonna be able
586
00:27:14,424 --> 00:27:15,967
to live with myself.
587
00:27:17,302 --> 00:27:19,679
Well, then
you'd better have a seat.
588
00:27:19,721 --> 00:27:21,139
Start at the beginning.
589
00:27:33,860 --> 00:27:36,863
I've likely extricated you
from legal trouble.
590
00:27:36,905 --> 00:27:39,491
Your friend down at the DMV's
gonna get promoted.
591
00:27:39,532 --> 00:27:42,160
And his boss has a kid
592
00:27:42,202 --> 00:27:44,079
who's gonna get
an internship at Justice.
593
00:27:44,120 --> 00:27:48,333
So they'll quietly accept
the misdemeanor.
594
00:27:49,542 --> 00:27:53,088
But what we have to discuss now
595
00:27:53,129 --> 00:27:57,175
is the line of succession
around here.
596
00:27:57,217 --> 00:28:00,512
I just want it to remain clear
that I am a viable alternative
597
00:28:00,553 --> 00:28:04,349
if the two of you are unable
to fulfill your parental duties.
598
00:28:04,391 --> 00:28:06,434
That's all very
well and good, Charles,
599
00:28:06,476 --> 00:28:07,852
but Kevin,
600
00:28:07,894 --> 00:28:09,270
you need to know--
601
00:28:09,312 --> 00:28:12,732
Your mother and I
are your first calls
602
00:28:12,774 --> 00:28:14,192
and your last.
603
00:28:14,234 --> 00:28:16,027
But I did.
604
00:28:16,069 --> 00:28:17,529
[sighs]
605
00:28:19,572 --> 00:28:22,033
"Mom, my driving test
is Monday morning.
606
00:28:22,075 --> 00:28:23,952
Can you take me?"
607
00:28:23,993 --> 00:28:27,539
"I have a meeting that morning.
Have you asked your father?"
608
00:28:29,624 --> 00:28:31,418
"Dad, Monday morning, DMV?"
609
00:28:31,459 --> 00:28:34,963
Uh-huh.
"Is it possible to reschedule?"
610
00:28:35,004 --> 00:28:37,048
It wasn't possible.
611
00:28:38,758 --> 00:28:41,636
Kev, if you'd answered "no,"
I'd have found the time.
612
00:28:41,678 --> 00:28:43,012
As would I have,
if I'd known
613
00:28:43,054 --> 00:28:45,390
your father responded
he couldn't.
614
00:28:45,432 --> 00:28:48,143
This is about you communicating
your needs more directly.
615
00:28:48,184 --> 00:28:50,729
I did. I called Grandpa.
616
00:28:50,770 --> 00:28:54,149
And I stepped forward,
once more into the breech.
617
00:28:54,190 --> 00:28:57,652
I believe Kevin has
what the kids call receipts.
618
00:28:57,694 --> 00:28:59,237
[scoffs]
619
00:29:00,780 --> 00:29:03,199
None of us behaved
perfectly here.
620
00:29:04,159 --> 00:29:05,660
Ah, shit, Kev,
621
00:29:05,702 --> 00:29:08,037
the immediate answer
should have been yes.
622
00:29:08,079 --> 00:29:09,664
I know that.
623
00:29:09,706 --> 00:29:11,541
I get caught up.
624
00:29:11,583 --> 00:29:13,251
We both do.
625
00:29:14,252 --> 00:29:16,087
This is...
626
00:29:17,630 --> 00:29:19,048
I'm just glad
this is the extent
627
00:29:19,090 --> 00:29:20,341
of the price we're paying,
628
00:29:20,383 --> 00:29:21,718
and that it was your grandfather
629
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,220
and not you
with the bribery.
630
00:29:25,764 --> 00:29:30,643
I will go say good night
to my granddaughter.
631
00:29:32,145 --> 00:29:33,855
And for the record,
632
00:29:33,897 --> 00:29:37,275
Kevin drove the hell
out of that Jag under my watch.
633
00:29:37,317 --> 00:29:38,777
Hmm.
634
00:29:38,818 --> 00:29:43,448
My boy, there was a time
when a Benjamin Franklin
635
00:29:43,490 --> 00:29:45,575
was the key to the city.
636
00:29:45,617 --> 00:29:50,079
My mistake was not accounting
for inflation.
637
00:29:50,121 --> 00:29:52,290
[Chuck groans]
638
00:29:54,542 --> 00:29:56,586
[laughs] Oh, God.
639
00:29:56,628 --> 00:29:58,588
Just when I thought
maybe we weren't too bad
640
00:29:58,630 --> 00:30:00,048
at this parenting thing.
641
00:30:00,089 --> 00:30:04,260
Yeah. Evidence to the contrary.
642
00:30:04,302 --> 00:30:07,305
You and I need to communicate
every day about them.
643
00:30:07,347 --> 00:30:09,057
That's where we fucked up.
644
00:30:09,098 --> 00:30:10,892
Because if we'd been talking
directly, one of us...
645
00:30:10,934 --> 00:30:12,477
-No doubt. No doubt.
-...would have--
646
00:30:15,104 --> 00:30:16,981
As far as working together
better...
647
00:30:18,441 --> 00:30:19,818
I pledge to do my part.
648
00:30:21,486 --> 00:30:23,154
As do I.
649
00:30:24,322 --> 00:30:25,824
[Chuck sighs]
650
00:30:30,328 --> 00:30:32,664
I had a strange convo
at work today.
651
00:30:37,085 --> 00:30:40,129
I have to imagine
that's, uh, the norm there.
652
00:30:40,171 --> 00:30:41,965
Kind of your job.
653
00:30:42,006 --> 00:30:43,925
Yeah, but this...
654
00:30:45,552 --> 00:30:47,720
I'll share,
since it wasn't a formal,
655
00:30:47,762 --> 00:30:49,389
privileged conversation.
656
00:30:49,430 --> 00:30:52,225
I sat him on the couch
instead of the chairs.
657
00:30:52,267 --> 00:30:53,768
Uh-huh.
658
00:30:55,395 --> 00:30:56,896
One of the heads of the firm.
659
00:30:56,938 --> 00:30:59,190
Young guy named Philip Charyn.
660
00:30:59,232 --> 00:31:02,443
There's a real
bare-knuckle business thing
661
00:31:02,485 --> 00:31:04,028
that an outside figure,
young Philip,
662
00:31:04,070 --> 00:31:06,239
finds himself
on the opposite side of Prince.
663
00:31:07,323 --> 00:31:08,825
Emotionally, though.
664
00:31:08,867 --> 00:31:10,368
That's not a position
he can take publicly
665
00:31:10,410 --> 00:31:11,578
within the firm.
666
00:31:13,872 --> 00:31:15,290
Sounds Byzantine.
667
00:31:17,709 --> 00:31:19,544
It seemed to me
that he was asking me
668
00:31:19,586 --> 00:31:22,547
to bring you in
on the situation,
669
00:31:22,589 --> 00:31:24,549
to pursue the issue
on his behalf.
670
00:31:24,591 --> 00:31:26,342
Huh.
671
00:31:26,384 --> 00:31:29,387
And what did you indicate back?
672
00:31:29,429 --> 00:31:32,849
Oh, I talked to him
about the blood-brain barrier.
673
00:31:32,891 --> 00:31:36,227
How it keeps bacteria,
viruses, fungus,
674
00:31:36,269 --> 00:31:38,897
parasites in the bloodstream
out of the brain.
675
00:31:38,938 --> 00:31:41,941
Parallel health achieved
by no cross-contamination.
676
00:31:41,983 --> 00:31:44,694
Well, sounds about right.
677
00:31:44,736 --> 00:31:47,655
And, uh, we should
keep it that way.
678
00:31:49,574 --> 00:31:53,953
For the health of the family
and, uh, our individual sanity.
679
00:31:54,954 --> 00:31:57,248
That's exactly what I said.
680
00:31:58,791 --> 00:32:00,251
[laughs]
681
00:32:00,293 --> 00:32:02,337
Wow.
682
00:32:02,378 --> 00:32:03,922
In this arena,
683
00:32:03,963 --> 00:32:06,633
communication has never
been an issue.
684
00:32:06,674 --> 00:32:09,177
We each know exactly
what the other means,
685
00:32:09,218 --> 00:32:11,220
no matter what the other says.
686
00:32:12,639 --> 00:32:14,807
It's somehow reassuring...
687
00:32:16,142 --> 00:32:18,102
and horrifying
at the same time.
688
00:32:18,144 --> 00:32:19,604
Quite so.
689
00:32:19,646 --> 00:32:20,939
[laughs]
690
00:32:30,990 --> 00:32:32,283
Do I need to call a lawyer?
691
00:32:33,326 --> 00:32:34,661
You sent for me.
692
00:32:36,079 --> 00:32:37,914
You didn't tape an X
to a telephone pole,
693
00:32:37,956 --> 00:32:40,041
but you asked for a meet
just the same.
694
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:42,293
I don't want to talk to you.
695
00:32:42,335 --> 00:32:44,629
Of course you don't.
696
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,175
Your mouth is dry.
697
00:32:49,217 --> 00:32:50,802
You look like you put in
some hard miles.
698
00:32:50,843 --> 00:32:52,595
You need to hydrate.
699
00:32:57,225 --> 00:33:00,311
Marc Ruloff is a good man,
a great man.
700
00:33:00,353 --> 00:33:01,854
And I put him
in Mike Prince's crosshairs.
701
00:33:01,896 --> 00:33:03,564
That's on me.
702
00:33:03,606 --> 00:33:05,858
What if you could
unwind it?
703
00:33:05,900 --> 00:33:08,319
Find a way to save Ruloff's
company from Prince?
704
00:33:09,737 --> 00:33:11,990
Well, I can't. I've tried.
705
00:33:12,031 --> 00:33:13,700
Maybe I can.
706
00:33:16,452 --> 00:33:18,830
Can you give me
an illegality I can pursue?
707
00:33:18,871 --> 00:33:20,415
That's why we're here.
708
00:33:20,456 --> 00:33:23,167
There aren't any.
That's the problem.
709
00:33:28,381 --> 00:33:30,008
What about you?
710
00:33:30,049 --> 00:33:31,676
You're the guy that likes
a big idea,
711
00:33:31,718 --> 00:33:33,678
that likes the grand gesture,
right?
712
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,680
Mm-hmm.
713
00:33:35,722 --> 00:33:37,849
So put a stop
to patent sharking.
714
00:33:37,890 --> 00:33:40,435
And these sharks
troll published patents
715
00:33:40,475 --> 00:33:42,145
and buy everything
that could credibly allege
716
00:33:42,186 --> 00:33:44,022
the invention
infringes on it.
717
00:33:44,062 --> 00:33:46,524
So they can sue.
718
00:33:46,566 --> 00:33:48,484
Did you know there is
a plasma substitute
719
00:33:48,526 --> 00:33:51,320
that could save soldiers' lives
wounded in theater?
720
00:33:51,361 --> 00:33:52,571
But the inventor
can't roll it out
721
00:33:52,613 --> 00:33:54,365
because she's surrounded
by sharks.
722
00:33:56,576 --> 00:33:59,245
That is a great injustice,
723
00:33:59,287 --> 00:34:02,040
but I can't change it.
724
00:34:04,292 --> 00:34:07,544
Nor can I change the fundamental
nature of the enterprise
725
00:34:07,587 --> 00:34:09,504
that is Michael Prince.
726
00:34:09,547 --> 00:34:11,131
Because your Dr. Ruloff,
727
00:34:11,174 --> 00:34:13,301
great man that you say he is,
728
00:34:13,341 --> 00:34:17,346
is actually just a harbor seal.
729
00:34:20,390 --> 00:34:22,517
And sharks will shark.
730
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,562
Harbor seals
will harbor seal.
731
00:34:27,690 --> 00:34:30,443
That is the way of the ocean.
732
00:34:34,405 --> 00:34:36,240
[metallic rattling]
733
00:34:36,282 --> 00:34:39,494
Gather around,
you malingerers.
734
00:34:39,535 --> 00:34:41,370
[Scooter]
First, we heard you.
735
00:34:41,412 --> 00:34:43,831
After this year,
with all the changes and drama,
736
00:34:43,873 --> 00:34:47,085
we will not proceed with
the planned performance review.
737
00:34:47,126 --> 00:34:49,879
It is more important that
instead of judging each other,
738
00:34:49,921 --> 00:34:51,756
we come together. So...
739
00:34:51,798 --> 00:34:53,674
we are going to have
the inaugural
740
00:34:53,716 --> 00:34:57,929
Michael Prince Capital
Casino Night at Gotham Hall.
741
00:34:57,970 --> 00:35:00,056
Everyone will be there.
742
00:35:02,683 --> 00:35:04,727
Because you have to be...
743
00:35:06,687 --> 00:35:08,606
and because
you fucking want to be.
744
00:35:08,648 --> 00:35:10,650
This group will
come together as a--
745
00:35:10,691 --> 00:35:12,193
[Rian]
Don't say "family."
746
00:35:12,235 --> 00:35:14,028
That whole
"work unit as family" thing
747
00:35:14,070 --> 00:35:16,072
really stamps you
as a Boomer.
748
00:35:16,114 --> 00:35:17,240
-Gen X.
-We're not Boomers.
749
00:35:17,281 --> 00:35:18,699
Not even close.
750
00:35:18,741 --> 00:35:19,992
We read Doug Coupland
in hardback.
751
00:35:20,034 --> 00:35:21,577
You did.
I'm much younger.
752
00:35:21,619 --> 00:35:24,205
The point is,
we will come together as a--
753
00:35:24,247 --> 00:35:26,833
Goddamned family,
or die trying.
754
00:35:26,874 --> 00:35:28,960
Wags, Scooter. Need you.
755
00:35:31,170 --> 00:35:32,547
[tokens rattle]
756
00:35:42,014 --> 00:35:43,933
Kate has an angle
on the Ruloff thing.
757
00:35:43,975 --> 00:35:45,268
I wanted you to hear it.
758
00:35:45,309 --> 00:35:46,644
We just set it in motion
an hour ago.
759
00:35:46,686 --> 00:35:48,479
Enzy-Novo, biotech firm.
760
00:35:48,521 --> 00:35:51,899
They create the bacterial enzyme
that Ruloff's process uses.
761
00:35:51,941 --> 00:35:54,819
And that, the enzyme,
it's proprietary, I imagine.
762
00:35:54,861 --> 00:35:57,488
As patented as Carla Fracci's
Giselle.
763
00:36:00,533 --> 00:36:03,035
As Jordan's turnaround fadeaway.
764
00:36:03,077 --> 00:36:04,495
-Ah.
-Yes, of course. Yeah.
765
00:36:04,537 --> 00:36:05,955
By buying
into this company
766
00:36:05,997 --> 00:36:07,665
and the underlying patent,
767
00:36:07,707 --> 00:36:09,542
Ruloff will be neutralized.
768
00:36:09,584 --> 00:36:12,378
Without Enzy-Novo, Ruloff is
just making everyday cement.
769
00:36:12,420 --> 00:36:15,089
It'll take him years to replace
or create his own bacteria.
770
00:36:15,131 --> 00:36:17,592
Mm, I'd love to see
Ruloff's face when he finds out
771
00:36:17,633 --> 00:36:20,052
he can't have the starter
for his concrete sourdough.
772
00:36:20,094 --> 00:36:21,804
So, that second,
when he's gut-punched,
773
00:36:21,846 --> 00:36:24,974
is when we go back to him
with our last and best offer?
774
00:36:25,016 --> 00:36:26,684
He'll sell whether
he wants to or not.
775
00:36:26,726 --> 00:36:28,519
He'll have to, because he'll
have no other choice.
776
00:36:28,561 --> 00:36:29,896
He'll end up grateful, Mike,
777
00:36:29,937 --> 00:36:31,355
when he sees what you do
with his idea.
778
00:36:31,397 --> 00:36:32,607
How you blow it out.
779
00:36:32,648 --> 00:36:33,983
And, knowing you,
780
00:36:34,025 --> 00:36:35,443
you'll be sure
to credit him, too.
781
00:36:35,484 --> 00:36:36,777
You know I will.
782
00:36:36,819 --> 00:36:38,154
But all those hugs
will have to wait
783
00:36:38,196 --> 00:36:39,322
for the other side
of the war.
784
00:36:39,363 --> 00:36:40,907
[typing]
785
00:36:44,911 --> 00:36:47,371
I have to sign off.
Who can become the host?
786
00:36:50,833 --> 00:36:52,543
[secretary]
Uh, he's in a meeting.
787
00:36:52,585 --> 00:36:54,712
[Ruloff] I'll tell you and your
lawyer at the same time.
788
00:36:54,754 --> 00:36:57,548
Your attempted purchase
of Enzy-Novo has hit a snag,
789
00:36:57,590 --> 00:37:00,551
and that snag is named
this guy right here.
790
00:37:00,593 --> 00:37:03,512
I wouldn't dignify this,
I were you, Mike.
791
00:37:03,554 --> 00:37:05,890
I didn't hear some rumor
needs confirming.
792
00:37:07,725 --> 00:37:10,519
I'm in an exclusive negotiation
period with them,
793
00:37:10,561 --> 00:37:12,772
so they had to tell me as soon
as your offer floated in.
794
00:37:12,813 --> 00:37:14,357
Well, when your period ends,
795
00:37:14,398 --> 00:37:16,275
I'll be there
with a wheelbarrow full of cash.
796
00:37:16,317 --> 00:37:18,486
You won't outbid me.
I need it more.
797
00:37:18,527 --> 00:37:19,820
That's not something you admit
to a guy
798
00:37:19,862 --> 00:37:21,489
with unlimited resources.
799
00:37:21,530 --> 00:37:23,532
That's why you should do
the magnifying glass/slide stuff
800
00:37:23,574 --> 00:37:25,910
and leave the transactions
and wire transfers to me.
801
00:37:25,952 --> 00:37:28,329
I'll focus on the science
of kicking your ass.
802
00:37:28,371 --> 00:37:30,248
[laughs] You want to get
into a buying war with me?
803
00:37:30,289 --> 00:37:32,124
You're firing a pea shooter
at a tank.
804
00:37:32,166 --> 00:37:34,627
Maybe I have
a tank of my own.
805
00:37:34,669 --> 00:37:38,214
You can go around
buying adjacent stuff.
806
00:37:38,256 --> 00:37:39,757
Meanwhile,
I'll publish my work.
807
00:37:39,799 --> 00:37:42,927
Acclaim, prizes,
media attention will follow.
808
00:37:42,969 --> 00:37:48,057
I'll be the man credited with
rebuilding the world, not you.
809
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:57,942
Philip...
810
00:38:01,153 --> 00:38:03,197
if this guy has
a vulnerability, a weakness,
811
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:06,284
a quirk of character
that we can use against him,
812
00:38:06,325 --> 00:38:07,868
now would be
the time to share it.
813
00:38:08,995 --> 00:38:10,538
[sighs]
I'd love to help,
814
00:38:10,579 --> 00:38:12,248
but I've got nothing
to help with.
815
00:38:12,290 --> 00:38:13,916
I was an admiring student.
816
00:38:13,958 --> 00:38:16,335
I've never seen that contentious
side of him before.
817
00:38:16,377 --> 00:38:18,504
I've known him as nice.
Conscientious.
818
00:38:18,546 --> 00:38:21,299
I don't know how to get inside
his head and turn him around.
819
00:38:21,340 --> 00:38:22,675
[clicks tongue]
820
00:38:27,513 --> 00:38:30,099
He's a process guy.
821
00:38:30,141 --> 00:38:33,519
He had a 1966 emerald-green
Karmann Ghia 1300.
822
00:38:33,561 --> 00:38:34,937
He loved that car.
823
00:38:34,979 --> 00:38:36,939
Talked about
how the Karmann Ghia 1300
824
00:38:36,981 --> 00:38:39,191
was made for the road.
825
00:38:39,233 --> 00:38:40,985
They weren't durable cars,
826
00:38:41,027 --> 00:38:43,696
so sometimes
you'd see them in garages.
827
00:38:43,738 --> 00:38:45,197
That really bothers him,
828
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,074
the thought that it might
happen to his.
829
00:38:47,116 --> 00:38:49,118
So he bought an entirely
different Karmann Ghia
830
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,370
and stripped it for parts
to save the green one.
831
00:38:51,412 --> 00:38:52,997
Had someone
in the engineering school
832
00:38:53,039 --> 00:38:54,248
match the paint perfectly.
833
00:38:54,290 --> 00:38:56,125
So he's an obsessive.
834
00:38:56,167 --> 00:38:58,586
[Philip]
I'd put it slightly differently.
835
00:38:59,962 --> 00:39:02,089
He's a man
who follows his passion.
836
00:39:02,131 --> 00:39:04,884
Who builds something
and then takes care of it.
837
00:39:04,925 --> 00:39:06,635
That's where
this is coming from.
838
00:39:06,677 --> 00:39:08,804
I mean, he used to take that car
out to these rallies
839
00:39:08,846 --> 00:39:11,515
with whales from
the Stanford Board of Trustees.
840
00:39:11,557 --> 00:39:12,975
They used to try
and buy it off him,
841
00:39:13,017 --> 00:39:14,727
but he wouldn't sell.
842
00:39:14,769 --> 00:39:17,897
The smile on his face
when he would drive off in it...
843
00:39:17,938 --> 00:39:20,649
pure joy of someone who loved
something enough
844
00:39:20,691 --> 00:39:23,652
to take care of it in a way
that it served him perfectly.
845
00:39:23,694 --> 00:39:25,154
Good. Good. Yeah.
846
00:39:25,196 --> 00:39:26,906
That's just the story
I needed to hear.
847
00:39:26,947 --> 00:39:29,325
Kate, I'm betting
Ruloff cozied up
848
00:39:29,367 --> 00:39:31,577
to some billie board member
of the university
849
00:39:31,619 --> 00:39:33,287
to back his war against me.
850
00:39:33,329 --> 00:39:34,538
We still need to outbid him.
851
00:39:34,580 --> 00:39:36,082
Well, what if we can't?
852
00:39:36,123 --> 00:39:38,250
Yes, if he did get himself
a bigger tank,
853
00:39:38,292 --> 00:39:39,960
that might be the case.
854
00:39:40,002 --> 00:39:41,921
So we sue for injunctive relief
855
00:39:41,962 --> 00:39:43,547
on behalf of one
of our other patents.
856
00:39:43,589 --> 00:39:45,925
We won't win that,
which you obviously know.
857
00:39:45,966 --> 00:39:47,176
Winning won't matter.
858
00:39:47,218 --> 00:39:49,053
As Philip's story tells us,
859
00:39:49,095 --> 00:39:51,514
Ruloff will sacrifice everything
but the central project,
860
00:39:51,555 --> 00:39:53,099
the central idea.
861
00:39:55,059 --> 00:39:56,435
He'd cannibalize
perfectly good cars
862
00:39:56,477 --> 00:39:58,270
just to keep his on the road.
863
00:39:58,312 --> 00:40:00,898
It was the getting it on the
road that was everything to him.
864
00:40:00,940 --> 00:40:02,483
Still is.
865
00:40:02,525 --> 00:40:04,151
If we can keep him in court,
866
00:40:04,193 --> 00:40:06,153
and his prize Karmann Ghia
in the garage,
867
00:40:06,195 --> 00:40:09,323
it'll drive him crazy enough to
share the Karmann Ghia with us,
868
00:40:09,365 --> 00:40:11,575
as long as it gets it moving.
869
00:40:13,744 --> 00:40:15,246
That tracks.
870
00:40:18,582 --> 00:40:19,917
I know what to do.
871
00:40:39,103 --> 00:40:43,441
A hearty welcome to all of you
gamesters, sports, speculators,
872
00:40:43,482 --> 00:40:45,276
pikers, and punters.
873
00:40:45,317 --> 00:40:47,736
Tonight, we offer you the chance
to test your luck
874
00:40:47,778 --> 00:40:51,073
and skill at roulette,
blackjack, craps,
875
00:40:51,115 --> 00:40:53,784
baccarat and Texas Hold 'Em.
876
00:40:53,826 --> 00:40:57,455
Drinks are free, and everyone
starts with 5,000 in chips,
877
00:40:57,496 --> 00:41:00,249
with unlimited rebuys
at your own expense.
878
00:41:00,291 --> 00:41:01,917
Proceeds go to charity,
of course,
879
00:41:01,959 --> 00:41:04,420
but the chip leader
at the end of the night
880
00:41:04,462 --> 00:41:07,298
wins a special prize.
881
00:41:07,339 --> 00:41:09,967
And what a prize it is.
882
00:41:10,009 --> 00:41:12,970
Private air travel and
all expenses paid to Ireland,
883
00:41:13,012 --> 00:41:14,472
to coincide with the Open.
884
00:41:14,513 --> 00:41:17,892
And VIP rounds
with this year's champion
885
00:41:17,933 --> 00:41:22,646
at Royal County Down, Portrush,
Sligo, and Ballybunion.
886
00:41:22,688 --> 00:41:24,315
Release the hounds!
887
00:41:24,356 --> 00:41:27,318
[all cheer]
888
00:41:27,359 --> 00:41:31,822
["Funk 49"
by James Gang plays]
889
00:41:36,327 --> 00:41:38,162
Odd numbers only.
890
00:41:38,204 --> 00:41:41,165
7, 17, 23, 24.
891
00:41:41,207 --> 00:41:43,042
Let's go.
892
00:41:43,083 --> 00:41:44,835
I know where you're going
893
00:41:44,877 --> 00:41:46,962
I don't think
That's acting right
894
00:41:47,004 --> 00:41:50,341
You don't think
It's showing
895
00:42:05,439 --> 00:42:07,066
[chips clink]
896
00:42:07,107 --> 00:42:08,651
Split 'em.
897
00:42:15,407 --> 00:42:17,034
Split.
898
00:42:17,076 --> 00:42:20,621
Falling down
Don't misunderstand me
899
00:42:20,663 --> 00:42:23,165
You don't think
I know your plan?
900
00:42:23,207 --> 00:42:25,084
Again?
901
00:42:47,273 --> 00:42:48,566
Gonna raise.
902
00:42:56,240 --> 00:42:57,908
Point is 9.
903
00:42:57,950 --> 00:43:00,160
I'm backing up mine.
904
00:43:01,328 --> 00:43:03,581
And give me
all the hard ways.
905
00:43:03,622 --> 00:43:05,624
Backing up mine.
906
00:43:05,666 --> 00:43:08,210
You're wrong-way betting me.
907
00:43:08,252 --> 00:43:10,421
Your future
is in your hand.
908
00:43:10,462 --> 00:43:12,381
Damn right it is.
909
00:43:14,675 --> 00:43:15,884
Rebuy.
910
00:43:15,926 --> 00:43:17,219
Already?
911
00:43:17,261 --> 00:43:19,763
Don't worry.
I have a system.
912
00:43:23,809 --> 00:43:25,352
Do you take Venmo?
913
00:43:27,229 --> 00:43:28,689
-There we go!
-[excited chatter]
914
00:43:31,567 --> 00:43:33,527
All right,
let's bet some columns.
915
00:43:34,903 --> 00:43:37,114
[blows]
916
00:43:37,156 --> 00:43:38,782
[dice rattling]
917
00:43:40,826 --> 00:43:43,245
-[croupier] Seven.
-Oh!
918
00:43:43,287 --> 00:43:46,248
Ah-ha. Mama's got
a brand-new bag.
919
00:43:46,290 --> 00:43:47,416
Fuck!
920
00:43:47,458 --> 00:43:49,043
You gooched me.
921
00:43:49,084 --> 00:43:50,753
Well, sometimes
that's what mamas have to do
922
00:43:50,794 --> 00:43:52,421
to get the brand-new bag.
923
00:43:52,463 --> 00:43:53,964
[crowd cheers]
924
00:43:54,006 --> 00:43:56,300
That is the sound
of success.
925
00:43:56,342 --> 00:43:58,886
Tonight's a hit.
A palpable hit.
926
00:44:00,971 --> 00:44:03,515
While you do your thing,
I am going to visit the tables.
927
00:44:03,557 --> 00:44:05,225
-Baccarat?
-I know it's house odds,
928
00:44:05,267 --> 00:44:06,769
but I've been a sucker for it
929
00:44:06,810 --> 00:44:08,854
ever since the original
Casino Royale.
930
00:44:10,564 --> 00:44:12,358
[indistinct chattering]
931
00:44:15,235 --> 00:44:17,863
Mm! Grey Goose martini.
Shaken.
932
00:44:17,905 --> 00:44:20,616
Or stirred.
I don't really give a shit.
933
00:44:20,658 --> 00:44:23,535
Ah, yes, chemin de fer.
934
00:44:23,577 --> 00:44:26,705
Or as you vulgarians
like to call it, baccarat.
935
00:44:26,747 --> 00:44:29,124
I usually play with tiles,
but this will have to do.
936
00:44:31,460 --> 00:44:33,337
Mm!
937
00:44:33,379 --> 00:44:35,089
Banco!
938
00:44:35,130 --> 00:44:37,174
Vanessa.
939
00:44:37,216 --> 00:44:39,176
-What do we got?
-Oh, we've got it all.
940
00:44:45,182 --> 00:44:46,934
So, most of these folks,
941
00:44:46,975 --> 00:44:49,687
the abstraction of having
chips instead of cards,
942
00:44:49,728 --> 00:44:52,439
it's throwing their sense
of value off instantly.
943
00:44:52,481 --> 00:44:54,024
Break it down for me.
944
00:44:54,066 --> 00:44:56,276
[Vanessa] Okay.
945
00:44:56,318 --> 00:44:59,613
This guy Victor, he's over there
rolling it up at roulette.
946
00:44:59,655 --> 00:45:01,865
Aggressive, but smart.
947
00:45:02,950 --> 00:45:04,743
On the other hand,
948
00:45:04,785 --> 00:45:06,954
Tuk Lal's already made his
third visit to the rebuy cage.
949
00:45:06,995 --> 00:45:09,832
He seems to think he has some
sort of system at blackjack.
950
00:45:09,873 --> 00:45:11,208
I don't know.
951
00:45:12,292 --> 00:45:13,669
His buddy Ben Kim over there...
952
00:45:15,254 --> 00:45:17,089
he's squeezing
his original 5K in chips
953
00:45:17,131 --> 00:45:19,216
hard enough to turn them
into diamonds.
954
00:45:19,258 --> 00:45:21,510
But scared money's
not gonna win tonight.
955
00:45:22,761 --> 00:45:24,263
Taylor Mason,
956
00:45:24,304 --> 00:45:27,266
clearly a high-level
thinking poker player,
957
00:45:27,307 --> 00:45:30,519
is crushing everybody
at Texas Hold 'Em.
958
00:45:30,561 --> 00:45:32,980
And over here, the one
they're calling Dollar Bill,
959
00:45:33,021 --> 00:45:35,733
he's a total nihilist
at the craps table.
960
00:45:37,109 --> 00:45:39,611
Keep going. Deep dive.
961
00:45:42,573 --> 00:45:46,702
Tell me how their behavior here
transfers to the workplace.
962
00:45:46,744 --> 00:45:49,371
So, Ruloff,
963
00:45:49,413 --> 00:45:50,914
far from letting himself
be sharked,
964
00:45:50,956 --> 00:45:53,417
got a killer whale
to protect him,
965
00:45:53,459 --> 00:45:54,752
but it ain't working.
966
00:45:54,793 --> 00:45:56,253
Or it was working so well
967
00:45:56,295 --> 00:45:57,838
that Prince had to come at him
another way
968
00:45:57,880 --> 00:45:59,381
to strike the fatal blow.
969
00:45:59,423 --> 00:46:01,091
Uh-huh. What was the move?
970
00:46:01,133 --> 00:46:03,469
Filed suit to block
Ruloff's purchase of Enzy-Novo.
971
00:46:03,510 --> 00:46:06,180
In California. It's gonna end up
in the 9th Circuit.
972
00:46:06,221 --> 00:46:07,806
Where it'll be years
before it's settled out.
973
00:46:07,848 --> 00:46:09,266
These two are gonna be like
974
00:46:09,308 --> 00:46:11,268
the Lazarus A and Lazarus B
on Trek.
975
00:46:11,310 --> 00:46:12,728
Fighting into eternity.
976
00:46:12,770 --> 00:46:15,063
I don't like it.
977
00:46:15,105 --> 00:46:17,649
Neither one of these guys
should be spending their time
978
00:46:17,691 --> 00:46:20,527
trying to win at all costs.
979
00:46:20,569 --> 00:46:22,905
If this thing is as good for
the world as it promises to be,
980
00:46:22,946 --> 00:46:25,157
they should only be focused
on bringing it out.
981
00:46:25,199 --> 00:46:26,867
And worry about the money,
982
00:46:26,909 --> 00:46:29,661
of which there will be plenty,
later.
983
00:46:29,703 --> 00:46:31,205
I mean, think about it.
984
00:46:31,246 --> 00:46:33,040
Louis Pasteur's
first order of business
985
00:46:33,081 --> 00:46:34,458
was doing the good thing,
986
00:46:34,500 --> 00:46:36,210
not cashing in
on his breakthroughs
987
00:46:36,251 --> 00:46:38,921
like these two brigands.
988
00:46:38,962 --> 00:46:42,508
No single person should control
something like this.
989
00:46:43,509 --> 00:46:44,968
There's got to be a way
990
00:46:45,010 --> 00:46:46,637
to take them both
out of the equation.
991
00:46:47,930 --> 00:46:50,057
Unless the whole thing
is a setup.
992
00:46:51,850 --> 00:46:54,645
Wendy comes to you,
you go to the kid,
993
00:46:54,686 --> 00:46:56,605
he gets you
to swallow the poison,
994
00:46:56,647 --> 00:46:57,940
thinking it's just wine.
995
00:46:57,981 --> 00:46:59,942
Oh, Wendy and I aren't
out there
996
00:46:59,983 --> 00:47:03,153
in that particular bad place,
in that particular way.
997
00:47:03,195 --> 00:47:06,156
And, I mean, if we are,
give me the poison now.
998
00:47:06,198 --> 00:47:07,449
Get it over with.
999
00:47:07,491 --> 00:47:08,700
Or just be careful.
1000
00:47:08,742 --> 00:47:10,077
How come he didn't make a move
1001
00:47:10,118 --> 00:47:11,328
to stop things on his own?
1002
00:47:11,370 --> 00:47:12,788
His move was reaching me.
1003
00:47:12,830 --> 00:47:14,623
What else could he do
on the inside?
1004
00:47:14,665 --> 00:47:16,959
Well, just play it out.
1005
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,127
Don't drink whatever goblet's
put in front of you.
1006
00:47:19,169 --> 00:47:21,338
And then it doesn't matter
what's inside it.
1007
00:47:21,380 --> 00:47:23,048
Fine. Yes.
1008
00:47:23,090 --> 00:47:25,008
We proceed without allowing
any kind of opening,
1009
00:47:25,050 --> 00:47:26,260
as we always do.
1010
00:47:26,301 --> 00:47:28,554
But proceed we must.
1011
00:47:28,595 --> 00:47:30,305
How do we get it done?
1012
00:47:31,557 --> 00:47:33,225
The only word
that comes to mind:
1013
00:47:34,768 --> 00:47:36,478
Spielbergian.
1014
00:47:39,314 --> 00:47:40,732
Is that a word?
1015
00:47:40,774 --> 00:47:42,234
It ought to be.
1016
00:47:47,197 --> 00:47:49,366
I just got a nasty text
from Marc Ruloff.
1017
00:47:49,408 --> 00:47:50,784
That's 'cause it's over.
1018
00:47:50,826 --> 00:47:52,035
You blocked him
and beat him?
1019
00:47:52,077 --> 00:47:53,287
Nope.
1020
00:47:53,328 --> 00:47:55,289
But it's over all the same.
1021
00:47:55,330 --> 00:47:57,749
The Department of Defense
did a march-in.
1022
00:47:59,668 --> 00:48:01,795
The entire project
was declared classified
1023
00:48:01,837 --> 00:48:03,046
by the federal government.
1024
00:48:05,090 --> 00:48:06,758
Your patent,
everything in this office,
1025
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:08,427
and everything
associated with this work
1026
00:48:08,468 --> 00:48:10,220
will now be controlled
by the federal government.
1027
00:48:10,262 --> 00:48:12,764
You have rights,
and there is a process
1028
00:48:12,806 --> 00:48:15,684
which will now be overseen
by the Department of Defense.
1029
00:48:17,185 --> 00:48:19,021
You dropped the dime
to the government?
1030
00:48:19,062 --> 00:48:21,231
Could he have
tipped them off himself?
1031
00:48:21,273 --> 00:48:22,816
Killed it instead
of letting you have it?
1032
00:48:22,858 --> 00:48:25,193
Don't think so.
Doesn't matter now.
1033
00:48:25,235 --> 00:48:27,070
The government
will sit on this discovery
1034
00:48:27,112 --> 00:48:29,698
like the Ark of the Covenant
in that endless warehouse.
1035
00:48:29,740 --> 00:48:31,241
Why won't they get it
into the market?
1036
00:48:31,283 --> 00:48:32,951
Well, first of all,
they're inept.
1037
00:48:32,993 --> 00:48:34,745
Then, you know,
think of the special interests.
1038
00:48:34,786 --> 00:48:36,121
The unions.
The conflicts.
1039
00:48:36,163 --> 00:48:38,498
Yeah. They'll use
potential unknown
1040
00:48:38,540 --> 00:48:40,167
health or structural liabilities
1041
00:48:40,208 --> 00:48:41,877
to get the government
to keep testing it.
1042
00:48:41,919 --> 00:48:43,629
Yeah, so, no.
It's not coming to market.
1043
00:48:43,670 --> 00:48:44,880
Not now.
1044
00:48:44,922 --> 00:48:46,465
So no one gets the benefit.
1045
00:48:48,008 --> 00:48:49,468
It's like everyone
just literally said,
1046
00:48:49,509 --> 00:48:51,511
"Fine,
kill the damned infant."
1047
00:48:51,553 --> 00:48:54,014
Well, the upside is that
when I take the oath of office
1048
00:48:54,056 --> 00:48:57,267
and I do declassify it
and release it,
1049
00:48:57,309 --> 00:49:00,395
it'll start us off very,
very nicely.
1050
00:49:00,437 --> 00:49:03,273
Better: you hold
until right after
1051
00:49:03,315 --> 00:49:05,359
you announce
for a second term.
1052
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:08,070
Eight years in office
for President Prince locked up.
1053
00:49:08,111 --> 00:49:09,905
Ooh, I like that a lot.
1054
00:49:09,947 --> 00:49:13,116
Hold it, then splash.
1055
00:49:16,912 --> 00:49:19,706
Maybe Ruloff did me a favor
by trying to stop me.
1056
00:49:41,311 --> 00:49:44,231
Let me go over your debt, find
you some corridors out of this.
1057
00:49:44,272 --> 00:49:46,233
I think...
1058
00:49:46,274 --> 00:49:49,027
No. You've done enough.
1059
00:49:50,237 --> 00:49:52,489
More than enough.
1060
00:49:52,531 --> 00:49:55,283
Our engagement ends
when you walk out that door.
1061
00:49:55,325 --> 00:49:58,662
Before I do, I just want you
to know that my intentions--
1062
00:49:58,704 --> 00:50:00,622
I misspoke.
1063
00:50:00,664 --> 00:50:02,499
Our engagement ends now.
1064
00:50:18,974 --> 00:50:20,726
[door opens]
1065
00:50:23,228 --> 00:50:25,522
We're here to set the terms
for the performance reviews.
1066
00:50:25,564 --> 00:50:28,191
Should we wait until Philip
is here before we start?
1067
00:50:28,233 --> 00:50:29,693
He's not coming.
1068
00:50:29,735 --> 00:50:31,194
Oh, well,
1069
00:50:31,236 --> 00:50:34,990
there is a new harmonious spirit
on the floor.
1070
00:50:35,032 --> 00:50:36,366
We think there's
a road to compromise
1071
00:50:36,408 --> 00:50:38,160
that you'll find productive.
1072
00:50:38,201 --> 00:50:39,745
It's irrelevant at this point.
We have what we need.
1073
00:50:39,786 --> 00:50:41,371
How's that?
1074
00:50:41,413 --> 00:50:44,207
You all said nothing
but told us everything.
1075
00:50:44,249 --> 00:50:47,044
I've taken Vanessa Selbst's
raw research
1076
00:50:47,085 --> 00:50:49,212
and put it into language
that discloses
1077
00:50:49,254 --> 00:50:52,716
what the usual comp process
does, and much more.
1078
00:50:52,758 --> 00:50:55,218
Using prospect theory,
1079
00:50:55,260 --> 00:50:57,262
as based on
Kahneman and Tversky's
1080
00:50:57,304 --> 00:50:59,848
Nobel Prize-winning research
recognizing loss aversion
1081
00:50:59,890 --> 00:51:03,060
that veers directly
into sunk cost fallacy...
1082
00:51:05,312 --> 00:51:07,981
along with many other
related pathologies
1083
00:51:08,023 --> 00:51:09,566
that were revealed
the other night...
1084
00:51:11,777 --> 00:51:13,487
the participation
of the employees
1085
00:51:13,528 --> 00:51:14,821
is no longer required.
1086
00:51:14,863 --> 00:51:16,698
[Victor]
Shit.
1087
00:51:16,740 --> 00:51:20,660
Casino Night wasn't
some team-building exercise.
1088
00:51:20,702 --> 00:51:23,163
It was an observation chamber.
1089
00:51:24,456 --> 00:51:26,416
Yes, we already know
what we need to know
1090
00:51:26,458 --> 00:51:28,251
in order to gauge the employees'
risk assessment,
1091
00:51:28,293 --> 00:51:29,836
strategic approach,
expected outcome,
1092
00:51:29,878 --> 00:51:31,088
performance in general.
1093
00:51:31,129 --> 00:51:32,339
Thanks for your time.
1094
00:51:32,380 --> 00:51:34,049
Son of a bitch.
1095
00:51:34,091 --> 00:51:36,218
What's next,
the Milgram experiment?
1096
00:51:36,259 --> 00:51:39,805
You want to see if we'll
join in shocking each other?
1097
00:51:42,474 --> 00:51:45,477
Oh, who was the winner
of the big prize?
1098
00:51:45,519 --> 00:51:47,145
Peach took it down.
1099
00:51:47,187 --> 00:51:48,605
Fuck me.
1100
00:51:48,647 --> 00:51:50,732
-Wow, wow, wow.
-Does she even golf?
1101
00:51:50,774 --> 00:51:52,901
I hear she's about to flip it
to a PM at another firm
1102
00:51:52,943 --> 00:51:54,569
for 300 grand.
1103
00:51:58,657 --> 00:52:00,283
Shame they're so upset.
1104
00:52:00,325 --> 00:52:02,577
Victor and Rian had
some of the best approaches.
1105
00:52:02,619 --> 00:52:04,412
Unlike the bulk of those losers.
1106
00:52:05,413 --> 00:52:07,290
Including you, Wags.
1107
00:52:07,332 --> 00:52:09,292
You were in on the gag,
and yet you bled off
1108
00:52:09,334 --> 00:52:11,461
$4,900 in chips at baccarat.
1109
00:52:11,503 --> 00:52:13,046
Me?
1110
00:52:13,088 --> 00:52:15,298
I thought I was on the inside,
that I'm exempt.
1111
00:52:16,341 --> 00:52:17,968
[laughs] Oh, no.
1112
00:52:18,009 --> 00:52:19,761
No one's exempt.
1113
00:52:19,803 --> 00:52:21,888
Goddamn it.
1114
00:52:21,930 --> 00:52:24,141
Scooter, you're definitely
not getting invited
1115
00:52:24,182 --> 00:52:25,642
to mini golf next week.
1116
00:52:26,685 --> 00:52:28,061
None of you are.
1117
00:52:32,482 --> 00:52:34,818
Everything I did
went to shit.
1118
00:52:34,860 --> 00:52:36,653
I tried to run
a performance review,
1119
00:52:36,695 --> 00:52:39,447
and it turned into
a psychological study.
1120
00:52:39,489 --> 00:52:41,408
I tried to help the firm
and ended up with nothing.
1121
00:52:41,449 --> 00:52:44,578
I tried to help my old teacher,
he lost everything.
1122
00:52:46,037 --> 00:52:47,998
I hoped to change the world,
it went nowhere.
1123
00:52:48,039 --> 00:52:50,083
You're giving yourself
a lot of credit
1124
00:52:50,125 --> 00:52:52,335
for how much
you supposedly control.
1125
00:52:55,046 --> 00:52:56,506
[sighs]
1126
00:52:57,549 --> 00:52:59,092
No, you're right.
1127
00:53:00,051 --> 00:53:01,386
I should give you some.
1128
00:53:03,847 --> 00:53:05,807
Because when I went to you
and your ex-husband,
1129
00:53:05,849 --> 00:53:08,185
that's when the crap
really started flowing downhill.
1130
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:13,398
Instead of handing out
the kudos and the blame,
1131
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:17,360
why don't we talk about
turning this mess into action.
1132
00:53:19,404 --> 00:53:20,739
Because I saw you
in his office,
1133
00:53:20,780 --> 00:53:22,365
and I know how you feel.
1134
00:53:22,407 --> 00:53:24,576
Whatever plan you're
considering, leave me out.
1135
00:53:24,618 --> 00:53:26,536
Whatever you, and Taylor,
and I don't know who else
1136
00:53:26,578 --> 00:53:27,871
are thinking about doing...
1137
00:53:31,833 --> 00:53:33,543
I can't.
1138
00:53:33,585 --> 00:53:35,712
Won't. I don't even want to.
1139
00:53:35,754 --> 00:53:38,465
I need, and I will have,
complete deniability.
1140
00:53:38,506 --> 00:53:40,717
As-is, right now, there is
nothing I could tell anyone,
1141
00:53:40,759 --> 00:53:42,510
nothing I should tell anyone.
1142
00:53:42,552 --> 00:53:43,970
I aim to keep it that way.
1143
00:53:46,598 --> 00:53:48,600
Then you do that.
1144
00:54:05,075 --> 00:54:07,118
You have an old friend
at Defense, don't you?
1145
00:54:08,411 --> 00:54:10,080
Did you talk to him lately?
1146
00:54:10,121 --> 00:54:15,001
Maybe ask him to, well,
classify something
1147
00:54:15,043 --> 00:54:17,254
that could really help
the country,
1148
00:54:17,295 --> 00:54:19,381
just to screw over a rival?
1149
00:54:21,675 --> 00:54:25,053
If my actions hurt the man,
that is the way it is.
1150
00:54:26,304 --> 00:54:28,390
I presume he intends
to declassify it,
1151
00:54:28,431 --> 00:54:30,725
if and when
he gets into office.
1152
00:54:30,767 --> 00:54:34,312
But I can keep
the wolf at bay for now.
1153
00:54:35,647 --> 00:54:37,607
See how that works out.
1154
00:54:39,067 --> 00:54:41,111
Right.
1155
00:54:42,404 --> 00:54:44,114
A lot of ways
this could have gone
1156
00:54:44,155 --> 00:54:46,700
once you connected me
with that fella Philip Charyn.
1157
00:54:46,741 --> 00:54:49,452
But then you knew that.
1158
00:54:52,330 --> 00:54:54,624
Yep. I suppose I did.
1159
00:54:55,959 --> 00:54:57,627
[door opens]
1160
00:55:02,007 --> 00:55:03,925
Well, some things
turn out just fine.
1161
00:55:03,967 --> 00:55:05,593
Yes, they do.
A lot of things.
1162
00:55:05,635 --> 00:55:07,012
["Drive" by R.E.M. plays]
1163
00:55:07,053 --> 00:55:08,930
Smack, crack, bushwhacked
1164
00:55:08,972 --> 00:55:10,765
- Tie another one
-Congratulations.
1165
00:55:10,807 --> 00:55:13,351
To your racks, baby
1166
00:55:13,393 --> 00:55:15,437
-[Wendy] So proud of you.
-[Kevin] Thank you.
1167
00:55:16,479 --> 00:55:18,106
[Chuck]
Nice. Good job.
1168
00:55:19,357 --> 00:55:22,861
Hey, kids, rock and roll
1169
00:55:22,902 --> 00:55:27,699
Nobody tells you
Where to go, baby
1170
00:55:32,954 --> 00:55:36,333
What if I ride?
What if you walk?
1171
00:55:36,374 --> 00:55:39,836
What if you rock
Around the clock?
1172
00:55:39,878 --> 00:55:42,255
Tick-tock
1173
00:55:43,298 --> 00:55:46,593
Tick-tock
1174
00:55:46,634 --> 00:55:49,929
What if you did?
What if you walk?
1175
00:55:49,971 --> 00:55:54,684
What if you tried
To get off, baby?
1176
00:55:55,685 --> 00:55:57,520
Oh
