- KENDALL ROY: (CHUCKLING) No!
- Yes!

- No, no fucking way!
- Yes!

- No.
- What? Why not?

I mean, what, like,
what-- what--

what are you even
gonna do with it?

I'm gonna look at it.
And make an assessment.

(KENDALL CHUCKLES)

No. How's Venice?

Kendall, this is not a request;
it's a demand.

I am not sending you a picture
of my dick. Okay? No.

No... Why?

NAOMI PIERCE:
I need it for my records.

I can't say this clearly
enough. Dick pic!

- I hear you.
- Dick pic!

(CHANTING)
Dick pic! Dick pic! Dick pic!

Okay, fine. Fine, fine,
fuck you, fine. Jesus.

- KENDALL: Fuck.
- (NAOMI LAUGHS)

I mean,
how do you even do this?

- So, like, what was wrong?
- Nothing. Nothing.

It was great. It was great.

Why didn't you send it to me
before?

Just because
after Dinosaur-gate, I just...

I wanted to get out
a clear statement

- and show them
I'm not a sourpuss. - Uh-huh. Yeah.

And y'know, I just,
I got into it.

And I wanted to show 'em
I have a positive plan, and...

(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)

Oh, fuck.

No, Shiv.
Like, raw-- raw is good.

It's memorable. Y'know, it's...

Find an audience with an income
and a pulse.

Yes, that's what I'm--
I'm not saying no to the center

because I'm-- I'm saying
follow the ad revenue.

- No, yeah. No, sure.
- Can you hold this?

I think the cynicism
was pretty clear.

- What up, sis?
- Hey.

(TOM CHUCKLES)
Mega-dump and a line!

SIOBHAN "SHIV" ROY: This is
all-- It's just-- It's bullshit.

Because what it is,
really, it's just--

- it's displacement activity.
- Yeah.

I just need to find him
and ask him,

"Is it still happening?
Is it still me?"

Just, y'know, thrash it out.

You don't wanna thrash.
You wanna-- Oh, hey there!

- Hi!
- How are you?

- SHIV: Hey, Peter.
- TOM WAMBSGANS: It's been--

It's been a long time.

Look, the shareholders want
a CEO successor named

before the shareholder meeting.

- They have made that clear.
- Mm-hmm.

So, if you're serious about us
as a dream ticket,

it'd be smart to be able
to preempt any bad stuff

that could come out if you
came under the spotlight.

Okay, okay.

Well, you want me to just
tell you

all the terrible things that I,
Roman Roy, have ever done?

How would you feel if I had
some oppo research done?

See what a tenacious
bottom-feeder

could grub up on you?

I'd say that sounds like fun.

Oh!

We went Blanch.

Oh, thank you, Gerri.

- ROMAN ROY: Thank you, Gerri.
- (WHISPERING) Blanch!

- For the internal investigation?
- Blanch and Partners.

Beautiful, soft-soaping fucks!

That interview
is going to be like

- slipping into a bubble bath.
- Yeah.

I'll just light a scented candle
in there, put some Eagles on

and start playing with myself.
(CHUCKLES)

They came. Look at them.

All the little piggies
at the trough. (CHUCKLES)

All the cruise noise,
a fucking nothing burger.

Reassured now
that they still love you?

LOGAN ROY: (LAUGHS)
Love. Fear. Whatever.

- (WHISPERS) Could I have a word?
- Yeah. Fine.

- Hey, Dad.
- In a minute, Shiv.

Uh, I-- I'm sorry but I should
just-- Y'know?

In a minute.

- MARCIA: Oh, hey.
- Hi.

- Okay?
- Yeah.

MARCIA: Hm?

♪ (FAIRGROUND MUSIC PLAYS) ♪

Hey, brother. I'll get one.

Sure thing!
That'll be 18,000 dollars.

NARRATOR: Ever feel like you're
being fed a bad investment?

Logan Roy and his family are
taking a once-great media brand

down a dead end.

Corporate Governance. Fail!

Acquisition strategy. Fail!

Succession planning. Fail!

The Roys are failing Waystar.

As a shareholder,
you can replace

Logan Roy's
rubber-stamp board right now.

Vote and let
this year's shareholder meeting

launch a fresh start
for Waystar,

the company you own.

Cool.

FRANK VERNON: So Sandy and Stewy
have sent out thousands of them.

All major shareholders.

What does DF King say?

They say it might be time
to start getting worried.

LOGAN: Uh-huh.

Yeah, we've had
some disappointing feedback

on a couple of key investors.

LOGAN: Uh-huh.

The Pierce pursuit has played
badly in some quarters.

Jack, the Ulsterman is wavering.

He's four percent, isn't he?
We should have a conversation.

With that fat fuck?
Fuck that guy.

You should jam your dick in
his one good artery.

FRANK:
There's also one other person

who has a significant chunk
of stock

who we hear is no longer solid.

Your mother, Caroline.

- (LOGAN GROANS)
- KENDALL: Really? Mom?

What is she,
three percent voting stock?

GERRI KELLMAN: Uh-huh. We'd been
kinda counting on them.

I mean, we're at 36 percent.

Without their seven to add,
that is scary.

I'll talk to her.
Let her know this isn't funny,

and that she can kill you with
the wrong move.

Well, I imagine that's quite
a large part of the attraction.

We think that it'd be really
helpful to get you to the UK

for a personal appeal to Jack.

Like, tomorrow.

Roman, Kendall, Shiv
could hit their mom.

Okay. London. I'll take care
of the Ulsterman,

you're on your mom,
but keep it simple.

No Shiv.

I'm-- I'm sorry-- Wait. You mean
London, all of us, you mean?

- LOGAN: Mm.
- Are you sure we need to?

That's like, uh--

What are we? A fucking octopus?
Giving, like, reach-arounds to--

to every fish on the reef
now or...?

All right, relax,
branzino-porno-man.

LOGAN: It's fine. It's fine.

Colin will come.

Uh, Kerry, uh,
we can fix it, right?

You can reshuffle
the Dundee stuff?

KERRY:
About the journalism wing?

Yeah,
I'm sure they'll come to you.

Then straight to Singapore,
Christchurch, do it that way.

LOGAN: I need to make
some calls.

Kerry, we're hunkering. Frank,
Gerri, let's get down to it.

It's going to be an all-nighter.

- Hey, Rome.
- Yeah.

What's happening? Where's Dad?

- We're supposed to be talking.
- Ye--

Yeah, yeah, something came in.
He's hunkering.

He wanted me to tell you,
"Sorry, rain check.

Maybe in the a.m. Maybe."
Are your nips hard?

They must be, because
you are so out in the cold.

- Uh, Tom Wambsgans.
- Yeah. Hi.

Thanks for making the time.

No, not at all. Big priority.

No, I managed to push all
my gropes to this afternoon.

- (LAUGHS) I'm just kidding.
- Yeah.

This is my colleague,
Stefan Strauss.

- Hey, hey, hi.
- How do you do?

- My name's Kenneth Chan...
- Hi.

...and we're with
Blanch and Partners.

Yes.

We are helping to investigate
historic sexual abuse...

- TOM: Uh-huh.
- ...and associated wrongdoings

at Brightstar Cruises.

- Sure.
- So, as head of the division

- we were hoping you could--
- Well, briefly, I, uh, I--

I followed Bill's long reign.
Um, I was but a minnow

trailing in the wake of...
of Bill,

the big sperm whale,
the legend. (CHUCKLES)

Sure, but in terms of your time
at Parks, were you aware

of any historical allegations
that had been dealt with

other than in a way outlined
in the corporate guidelines?

In my brief spell,
um, I don't...

at this time, recall anything
that at that time,

would have caused me
any real concern.

Okay. Well, we can take a dig
into that in a moment,

- but for now...
- Sure.

...in terms of records
and document-keeping...

Uh-huh.

Well, we need to locate all
written information

relevant to this investigation,

and safeguard it
from destruction,

negligence, malfeasance.

Are you aware
of any document destruction

which might hinder
our inquiries?

I-- I think, um...

You know what? I--
You know what? I just--

I've just realized
we're gonna be here for a while,

and I wanna give you
my best attention,

but I really need to pee.
(CHUCKLING)

W-- We'd rather you stayed here.

I've got this
pathetically weak bladder.

I'm like an old woman
who's had a baby somehow.

- So, I'm gonna--
- KENNETH: Well--

But I'm-- I'm so sorry.

- I'll be right back. Okay.
- (LAWYERS MUMBLE)

Who's the pilot today?
Not Serge, right?

- No, sir. Serge is off rotation.
- LOGAN: Good.

I like a boring bastard
flying me.

Serge always looks as if
his dick's still wet,

and he's gonna give me the name
of a good fucking pinot.

Are you all right, son?

Mm. Mm-hmm. Yeah, I'm good.
Thanks for the ride.

LOGAN: It's good to see you.

Good to see you, too, Dad.
I hope we can swing it with Mom.

Yeah, I-- I was gonna say,

you know,
that thing up at Argestes...

Oh. No, yeah.
Mm-mm. It's not--

I-- I didn't even know
you were there.

I mean, if I did, I would--
Y'know?

Oh, I know. Yeah, I know. Sure.

Did I even make contact?

Um... I don't... think s--

Yeah, I'm not quite sure
what we're talking about,

- to be honest.
- Because...

that's not something I'd do.
Y'know?

Yeah, I know. I know that.
I know. I know.

Fucking...

cars, buildings, everywhere.

RHEA JARRELL:
He didn't tell you I was coming?

No. No, he did not.

For a media guy, he's not
the greatest communicator.

RHEA: Thank you.

I was going anyway to check out
some theater, and he asked

would I talk through
a couple things with him.

- Bounce some stuff.
- KENDALL: Uh-huh.

- You feelin' bouncy?
- Honestly?

A little deflated.

After all the retreats
I've done,

you know,
still got a bit of an ego.

Uh-huh.

Hey! Hi! (CHUCKLING)

(CHUCKLING) Hey!

Oh. Hey, Rhea.

- Dad, Rhea's here.
- LOGAN: Yeah, well...

Not a big deal.

ROMAN: Course it's not
a big deal. Why would it be?

- LOGAN: It's convenient.
- Okay, well, here we go.

Roy boys on tour,
and we got 'em in all sizes.

Alpha, beta, cuck.

He's fucking leaving
the country?

Rather than speak to me.

How long have you known this?

Plans change, so...
He wanted to apologize.

Bullshit.

- TOM: Hey.
- You--

Hey, Shiv. Hey.

- Hey.
- What-- Hey, oh--

- Do you know he's gone?
- TOM: Can I ask you about something?

Can you believe you this?
He's gone.

And his fucking flunkies
didn't even tell me,

running interference for him.
I won't have it.

I'm not gonna chase him
around the party

like a schoolgirl
with a crush.

No, absolutely.

Hey, um, I just wanted to check
it definitely is bullshit

this--
this internal investigation?

Y'know, he hasn't even responded
to the memo.

TOM: Because that didn't feel
all that bullshitty.

It wasn't all softballs?

You ever been hit in the face
with a softball?

I mean, just how inside this
are you?

'Cause there isn't a world,
is there, in which I get

hung out to dry, in which
I have to play the fuckbag?

- Is there? I mean...
- No.

...he supports me, right?
Logan?

I mean, never mind the jokes
and the "ha ha,"

he's not gonna fry me, is he?

No, Tom. No. I-- You know what?
I think I have to go out there.

I have to... go and fix this,
okay?

You okay?

Sure.

RHEA: Oh, sure. "Sure."
Don't poke the bear.

He can take anything.
Load him up.

Oh, I don't fucking know.

All this energy.
I'm gonna have to fight now

for every fucking
shareholder vote.

My ex-wife,
my old friends turning.

I kill Sandy. Sandy kills me.
So fucking what?

The next Zucker-fucker
comes along

and swallows you whole.

Shits you out as an app.

(WEAKLY) Yeah...

We've had some private polling
on potential next CEOs,

who'd play well.

I'd value your thoughts.

On the kids?

Who's got it? Huh?

I-- (CHUCKLES)
I could do with a clear eye.

As execs, okay. Well...

Shiv thinks she's smarter
than she is.

Roman could actually be good,

but, um...

but nowhere near right now.

Kendall's... I don't know.

It's like you put him
in a big diaper,

and now he can shit himself
whenever he likes.

- (CHUCKLES)
- Uh, he has all the shots

but he doesn't know
when to play them.

- (LOGAN LAUGHS)
- I-- I don't know. (CHUCKLING)

Yikes.

Look at them.
Fucking coochie-fucking-coo.

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

Yeah, not since Sally Anne
and the summer of the horses.

- Remember that shit?
- Right.

- ROMAN: Well...
- Do you think, um...

like, do you think
they're fucking?

Oh my God, could you imagine?

Like a rhino fucking
a hummingbird.

She'd have to go cowgirl, right?

Otherwise, he'd just like
snap her like a candy cane.

Dude, are you... like...
talking yourself hard right now?

Boys! Come on through.

ROMAN: Come through, I guess.
All right. Come through what?

- So...
- ROMAN: Mm-hm?

Shiv's memo.

KENDALL: Okay, we're--
we're-- we're what?

We're putting the concept
of Siobhan on the table

for general discussion?

You're tearing apart
my sister's pious bullshit

for your entertainment?
I had a dream like this once.

It's just good
to air some views.

ROMAN: Mm.

KENDALL: Okay.

Yeah, I mean, I think
the-- the twin quotes

from Thomas Aquinas
and Amelia Earhart really...

- (ALL LAUGH)
- ...kick us off with a bang.

ROMAN: Wow, so many pictures.
All the smiling children,

all the various hues, that--
that melted the heart

- of even this hardened racist.
- (RHEA LAUGHS)

I-- I like the spacing.
Um... Luxurious.

It is. But the protein.

Well, there's no shortage
of concepts, for sure.

It's a rich gumbo of ideas
and buzz words.

Look, we should be gentle.
It's easy to be overly critical

of the workings
of a major corporation

when you have no experience
running one.

I-- You can't blame her
for a lack of experience.

Well, sure you can. Just watch,
you'll get the hang of it

- soon enough.
- (RHEA LAUGHS)

GREG HIRSCH: No, thanks.
But those are really good.

Those are organic. I'll grab him
and see what's--

Hey, Tom.

- TOM: Hey, Greg! How ya doin'?
- Good, good. Yeah.

- Hey, bud.
- Good, yeah. Just busy.

Just, uh-- Why are you, um--

- Sure, what's going on?
- Um, I'm just have a few, uh,

- a few pals over for dinner.
- Ooh, look at you, Fancy Dan.

The Greg Man. (LAUGHS)
What are you talking about?

- Hey.
- Welcome to the next wave.

Just a talking shop for renewal.

(MOCKING) "Just a talking shop
for renewal."

- (TOM LAUGHS)
- (CHUCKLES FEEBLY)

No, no, no. It's good.
It's good. We're good.

Listen, I wanted to, um,

I wanted to ask you.
I was in the area, actually,

that's why I came round.
I wanted to ask you,

uh, how was today with the guys?
The interview?

Oh, yeah. Um...

Uh, yeah. Okay, I--

- Uh, a little bit jittery.
- Mm-hmm.

Uh, a bit of a stress comedown.

- Mm-hm. Mm-hm.
- You know, I, uh, got a haircut.

Even though I didn't really need
a haircut.

- Right.
- I think I just wanted someone

to touch my head, you know.
Soothing.

- And, um, I guess I found it
a little bit stressful-- - Uh-huh. Great. Great.

So, here's my thing.
Greg, you know the papers?

The copies? I want them.

- Uh-huh.
- Yeah.

I did my part of the deal.
You got the office,

a pretty little Gustav Klimt
poster up there,

and now it's time for me
to habeas the corpus.

GREG: No, right, right. I-- I--
I mean, I just guess, uh...

I-- I just guess that they're,
like, my insurance policy.

Yeah, but you don't need
an insurance policy.

Well, in case things
were to turn nasty.

They're not gonna turn nasty.

Okay? No one's gonna
break your legs, y'know?

Okay, well that feels
a bit nasty.

But it's the insurance
which is causing the nastiness.

If you were uninsured, you'd be
a lot safer. Ironically.

Okay, well,
they're not actually here,

- so I don't really know
what to tell you. - Okay. Greg. Greg, Greg. Look.

Okay, you played your hand
very well. I like it.

- (CHUCKLES)
- I do.

But we need to end this now.

Or I tell Logan that you took
copies of sensitive documents.

O-- Okay, that...

Well, I don't--

Okay, well, I--
I keep them at--

I keep them at the office.

You keep them at the office?

Yeah. 'Cause they're work.

I'll go-- I'll go in early,

and I'll give them to you
first thing tomorrow.

Right. Right. (SNAPS FINGERS)
But-- But-- But...

Except I can't trust you.

- (SIGHS)
- Okay, it's not personal.

I just can't trust you.
So, in a friendly way,

I'm staying here tonight,

and I'm gonna travel in
with you tomorrow,

and I'm gonna go with you
to wherever you have the papers,

- and then later, together...
- Dude.

...we're gonna dispose of them
off-premises.

And if you squeal
or you try to take copies,

- I'll break your legs.
- (CHUCKLES)

Sorry, I hope you didn't mind
eating in. But it's just...

paps in this town,
fucking animals.

Oh, sure. If only someone
had some influence over them.

(CHUCKLES)

RHEA: You okay?

Ah.

Siobhan's coming over.

Apparently, she's all fired up.

I imagine you've seen
a few temper tantrums

- from your children.
- LOGAN: Oh, I don't know.

She wants answers.

Okay.

What if you're right?

What if she doesn't have it
in her?

That's not exactly what I said.

I worry for her.

Y'know, maybe I jumped too fast.

Nothing's been said publicly
though, right?

With Kendall,
it wasn't the best situation.

Maybe I should just say
"Fuck it" and let her do it.

I don't fucking know.

When does she get in?

LOGAN: Tomorrow.

You know,

if you wanted me to...

I think I might be able
to help you make this go away.

It's delicate.

RHEA: Would you like me to try?

Let me see what I can do.

(SWALLOWS)

You wanna stay over or what?

Oh. Okay. Um...

I wasn't expecting that.
(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)

GERRI: Okay, so look.
From the oppo research on you,

- I'm gonna ask you some yes-nos.
- ROMAN: Uh-huh.

GERRI: Did you get jerked off
by your personal trainer

at the end of sessions?

Um... Nope. No. No, I did not.

- Libel.
- GERRI: Uh-huh.

There's rumors
of a face tattoo situation.

Uh... no memory of that. No.

- Uh-huh.
- KENDALL: Hey, dude.

Have you seen this?
From UK Comms?

Oh, what?

- Oh. Hey, Gerri, have you...
- GERRI: What?

...seen this?
I'll call you back.

- Where's Dad?
- Shit.

- Is he awake?
- I don't know.

Is he, uh... like, on his own?

Did Rhea go home?

They were having Scotches
when I came in.

I was at Edward's hell hole
in Mayfair. When did you get in?

Did you bring a piece of ass
back with you?

- 'Cause I think I heard.
- He needs to see this.

You think-- Should I wake him?

I think so, yeah.

Fuck it, he needs to see this.
I'm gonna get him up.

ROMAN:
Wake him up. Definitely.

(SING-SONG)
You're gonna see him boning.

You're gonna see him boning.

Dad.

ROMAN: Just go in.

He needs to see the story.

- Go in.
- (WHISPERS) Dude, fuck you.

Okay, I'm coming in, Dad.

- Dad.
- LOGAN: Huh?

Where the fuck am I?

GERRI: The family's line
is emotional distress.

KAROLINA NOVOTNEY: Yes,
they're saying you punched him,

which caused him, in effect,
to drive his car into the river.

LOGAN:
I did not punch anyone.

Yeah, this is, um--
this is incorrect.

LOGAN: I never touched that kid.

Well, I mean...

shouted a little.

- Jostled a glass but--
- Stop mumbling!

At-- At most, you shouted.

Oh! Did-- Oh, I shouted him
into the river?

No, that's what I mean. I'm--

I'm saying that
it's not right. This...

(SIGHS)
I should never have come.

I walked into a trap.

I've been badly advised.
You hear that, Gerri? Karolina?

- Yeah.
- Yes, we heard.

- LOGAN: Is Hugo there?
- Uh-huh.

I don't think we have
any huge concerns

in terms of legal liabilities,
right?

Oh, fuck no. No, they're saying
you owed a duty of care

and threatening legal action,
but that won't fly.

HUGO BAKER: The issue is we hear
that they may come to the US,

and appear on the Morning Juice
with this,

- which would not be--
- GERRI: From what I hear,

what they really want
is actually just the apology.

Uh-huh.

- GERRI: A personal apology.
- No.

HUGO: Sure.

I guess the only thing is,
in terms of the proxy battle...

GERRI: It's Sandy's tabloid
that's stirring this up.

- They went and
interviewed them. - Of course.

GERRI: It's a transparent effort

- to rattle our shareholders.
- Uh-huh.

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

We may be able to get
a statement out of them

absolving you of guilt.

Just say sorry,
and for all the distress.

But we make it clear
that Sandy and Stewy

are beating their drum
with the bones of a dead kid.

So it rebounds.

You think that gets me out?

- KAROLINA AND HUGO: Definitely.
- GERRI: Yes.

LOGAN: Yeah.

Well, I suppose everybody

has to apologize
for everything nowadays.

Okay. Okay. Set it up.

- HUGO: Great.
- GERRI: Will do.

On it.

Bye, guys.
You have a fun night, Dad?

- What the fuck does that mean?
- ROMAN: Nothin'.

- Oh, hi.
- Hey.

- Okay. All right.
- NAOMI: Hey.

KENDALL: Uh, Dad.
You remember Naomi Pierce.

Uh, she was in Venice
at the Biennale,

so, it was easy for her
to pop over and--

ROMAN:
Ah, Italian take out. Nice.

Thanks for having me.

How's your cousin?

She actually is taking
the month off

- to visit British Columbia.
- LOGAN: Oh, I bet she is.

NAOMI: I think
the whole sale experience

- was quite draining for her.
- Yeah.

Ooh, I can only imagine.

Naomi, uh, send her my love

and the whole fucking gang,
won't you?

Boys, I need five on strategy

- in private.
- KENDALL: Yep.

- NAOMI: Mm-hmm.
- I'll, uh...

- Later.
- I'll see you over there.

Bye.

Nice.

(DOOR SLAMS)

So... on your mom.

- Probably just bullshit.
- Mm-hmm.

She's always been
a piece of work.

See if you can sweet talk her.
And if necessary,

make her an offer
that brings her back into line.

I need her three percent.

Well, what do we have
to play with?

LOGAN: Well, cash is difficult
because it looks like a bribe,

- but, uh--
- So...

reopen the divorce settlement,
maybe?

Yeah.

Offer her ten million.
See if she pipes down.

I'll go as high as 50,
but I won't be happy.

Exciting. Grinding Mom down.

So... looking forward to dinner?

- (SCOFFS)
- Yeah, last time I ate there,

it was three muddy trout for six
and fill up on mustard.

(GIGGLES) Oh, poor bastards.

Slim pickings, huh?

Whatever happens,
we need her vote.

- Whatever it takes.
- Whatever it takes. Right.

All right, Dad. Got it.

But I don't like being fucked.
So, screw her out a bit.

Anything you save under the 50,
we can split.

Well, that oughta cover
the... subsequent therapy.

- Yeah. No, no. I'm kiddin'.
- Yep. Me, too.

- We need her.
- Got it.

(DOOR CLOSES)

What, did Rhea stay late or...
Did you guys...

Why?

Uh, nothing.

No. No, no, no.
I mean, just, um...

I-- I just wanted to say...

and don't take this
the wrong way,

like...

Well, he told me

No, what's the real top?

the clam bakes

Why don't you ask him
what he'd rather?

He can keep the summer palace

if I get the family
every Christmas.

You have to have good lines
