- Oh, yeah.

Yeah, it's a shit show
over there, apparently.

- TANA: Yeah?
- Yeah.

- Like, advertisers bailing,

my dad is out of it

You know,
Gerri Kellman in charge?

(SCOFFS) Sorry, I mean,
Gerri's great, I actually--

I actually love Gerri,
you know, but...

Gerri is a time server
who's way out of her depth.

Meanwhile, on the upside,
the DOJ and I

are in contact about the terms
of my immunity deal.

So, yeah.

- Does not look good for them.
- TANA: (CHUCKLES) Wow, right.

- (CLICKS TONGUE)

All that's on background.

- Um... You know, as we said, a lot of moving parts.

But-- But-- Yeah, please,
let's-- let's dive in.

So, you're okay
if I record this, right?

am I okay? I am--

- I am great. Let's record.
- Great. Thank you.

with how you're gonna come across.

Not really, no.

Am I?

a world of image. - (CHUCKLES)

That's the family business.

I mean, did-- did you see
the Sophie Iwobi monologue?

- Um...
- Yeah, well, she-- she did a bit.

- (CHUCKLES)
- "Oedipussy"?

- It's funny, right?

But, you know,
it doesn't hurt now,

because, uh...

because I am who I am.

And-- And-- And--
And I wanna plant a flag.

I wanna physically get in
and plant a flag,

you know, for that...

inside my family's business.

And in terms

one question that people

You know, sure. Absolutely.

Hugo had Frankton's put together

some full-page responses.

Yeah, there were, uh--
there were a couple we liked.

Full page with, uh,

a number of pledges.
We can figure out the verbiage.

"We get it."

I thought it was quite funky.

"Yeah, yeah, we get it already,

we have agents on the phone,

- GERRI: Logan. (CLEARS THROAT)

I'm just wondering, uh,

when we might start
to play ball.

I mean, everybody cooperates.

Maybe I don't do that dance.

to the shareholder meeting?

We don't accept service,

in an hour, there's gonna be
two agents here to serve you,

and while they're at it,
they could subpoena you

- to the grand jury.

- KERRY: Logan?
- Tell 'em to fuck off.

- TOM: FBI! Hands up!
- Hey, how's it going?

TOM: To be honest,
not great, Greg.

It's looking pretty bad
with the investigation,

and, um... Logan says
we have to take these.

Cyanide pills, the whole team.

Gregory, my chief of staff,
leggy princeling of ATN,

you deserve a new...
(SNAPS FINGERS)

...office. What do you think?

I mean... it's, uh--
it's-- it's not very nice.

That's rude, rude boy.
It's your new place.

GREG: Okay, I see.
This is punishment, right?

This is because I'm not taking
the company lawyer?

Right? Am I-- Am I getting
demoted right now?

In the middle
of an investigation? No.

No, this is just part
of a totally standard

office rationalization. No!

No, no, no,
you do whatever you like.

You know, hang out with Kendall.

Take your own counsel.

I hear you have a really
great lawyer.

Is it true you can find him
any time, day or night?

- GREG: Yes.
- 'Cause he has one of those bowties

that lights up and spins around?

He's actually really good.
I'm very, very happy with him.

Listen. On the level, buddy...

On the level,
there are a million knives

being sharpened right now.
The DOJ's gonna be like

a combine harvester
in a wheat field of dicks, okay?

So, I understand, I get it.
I see that this is tough.

I have gone Waystar.

I think that's safest, but...

tonight, I'm actually
seeing a pal

to get an objective take
on my situation,

and if you want,

- if you want, I can fold you in.
- Tonight?

Yeah, I just thought,
you know, over a beer,

we could kick back
and recall what happened

and make sure
that we remember it

- exactly the same way.

- Um...
- TOM: What?

- No, it's just Ken--
- Fuck Ken.

Yeah, no, fuck Ken,

with some softballs at the end.

Yeah, so Shiv,
or someone like Shiv,

sharing some memories
and feelings about your dad.

Yeah, I see. I think...
(INHALES THROUGH TEETH)

I think I'm best placed
neutralizing Kendall.

HUGO: Okay, well, you or...

someone like you.

All right, yeah, fine, fuck you.

I'll go out and say I love Dad.
Why not?

- I do. So, you know, fuck you.

- No, I know. You're right.

PRODUCER: Yeah.
So, we're-- we're good?

KENDALL: Okay, yeah,
no, for sure.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Great.

Hey!

(KNOCKS ON GLASS)

Hey.

- What are you in for?
- ROMAN: Uh... Me? Just...

running some numbers
with Gerri on, you know,

the fucking...
getting the distribution deals

for these--
Fuck it, it's murder.

- (CHUCKLES) Good kid.
- Yeah. Uh-huh. Um...

But sorry about the letter
or whatever, I--

- Keeping your nose out, huh?
- Well, I don't know, I guess.

Smart cookie, huh?

Smart little fucking cookie, eh?

ROMAN: Well, you know.

LOGAN: I, uh,
saw your little interview.

Oh, right, yeah,
we don't have to--

"Ooh! I wuv my daddy."

- (COOS)
- (CHUCKLES) Yeah.

I never figured you
for a faggot.

Oh, wow.

- LOGAN: I'm kidding,
I'm kidding. - I know.

So, what's this, uh...
fishing thing?

I don't remember.

Oh, yeah, that was, uh,
Connor, actually.

Connor took me on that.
But, you know...

single, multi-use,
happy childhood memory,

so, yeah.

SOPHIE: Oh, my God.
Such sad news. Guess what?

We're down a guest.

- Oedipussy has ghosted my ass.
- (AUDIENCE BOOING)

Yeah, and I'm like, heartbroken,
because I had so many names

I was going to call him.
Wokestar Royco.

- (AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
- SOPHIE: Benedickhead Arnold.

- Paranoid Kendroid.
- (AUDIENCE LAUGHING)

SOPHIE: But honestly,
nothing could be as brutal

as the open letter
his own sister released.

"I am deeply concerned
for the wellbeing

of my brother.

Our entire family
has supported him

through his many attempts
at rehabilitation

for his multiple addictions.

But the events of the last days
have made it clear

that our hopes for his recovery
were misplaced.

I've now been a direct witness
to his misogynistic rants

and comparisons to world
historical figures

that were suggestive
of grandiose

and disordered thinking.

And I would ask
that people give my brother

privacy and consideration
during this difficult time."

- (CELL PHONE RINGING)
- SOPHIE: And that's from his sister,

and she's the fucking nice one.

- The FBI is downstairs.
- What?

- Yeah.
- Tell them to fuck off.

GERRI: Yeah, these are the ones
who don't fuck off.

This is a search warrant.

KERRY: What do they do
at the front desk?

What are we doing?
They're at the gates.

Uh... Can we call
southern district? Get Leo! Get, get, get, get, get!

KERRY: Okay, okay, okay.

Can we stall 'em?
Shall I call Michelle-Anne?

No, I think that the Deputy
Attorney General

got spooked by you
talking to Michelle-Anne.

LOGAN: Well, what the fuck
did Michelle-Anne do?

She's got no fucking acumen!

Well, I guess the Government
isn't a fucking Pez dispenser.

You don't push a button
and something pops out

- the other end.
- Yes, I am well aware.

Apparently, there's about
20 of them down there.

Why don't we just ask them
if they can come back tomorrow?

Logan, they are coming up.
And if you don't open the door,

- they will kick it in.
- (LOGAN SIGHING)

And if you don't open
the filing cabinet,

they will pull out a crowbar.
This is a show of resolve.

And there are cameras outside,
and they do not need

to see the FBI
meeting any resistance.

What do we say?

- (SIGHS, SNIFFS)
- ♪ (DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS) ♪

- Cooperate.
- Oh.

LOGAN: Open up. Let them in.

Okay, I will call down
and I'll ask to talk

to the lead agent,
and we'll work something out.

LOGAN: Okay.

- GERRI: We're cooperating.
- We're cooperating.

Get the special committee.
Shift the legals.

We're cooperating.

TOM: People watch
our channel for so long,

we had to animate our logo,

because it was burning
into people's screens.

I mean, that is how loyal

- the viewers are.
- (ALL CHUCKLE)

And, you know, we will survive
this whole episode,

because--
because of our strength,

because of our depth of talent,

and because of our values,
our true values. Yes?

HUGO: (WHISPERING)
The FBI is raiding...

- (CUTLERY CLATTERING)
- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Um... Guys,
just a little heads-up.

And this is not something

I want us to get
out of proportion or spoil the evening,

but it would seem
that some agents of Federal Law Enforcement

are raiding the premises
right now.

So, if you see them,
uh, that's what that is.

LOGAN: It's fine. It's fine.
Just fucking leave it.

REPORTER: As you can see,
the FBI is currently raiding

the Waystar headquarters
in lower Manhattan

in a further twist

in the ongoing Waystar Royco
Cruise scandal.
