They say Dake rides in on a pale horse.

What do you think he's got on US?

Three young apprentices celebrating the departure of a colleague?
Thousand of Wargs spying on us with hostility ?
Ianimate objects that come to life?
Colourless flags, colourless flags of lost or slow strategies?
Dogs without eace nor restraint... peeing all over the floor because they
know that they no one is standing against them?

- NO, SIR Dake is here to keep the Visigoths outside of the city walls;
no one impugns judgment upon the Caesar.
But, It could be a trap. Because the Head of Crown is the HYPERHILL, the Magic
Mountain that can grant you whatever wish you want next.

To get it.. you should, eventually, unlock the walls of the Black-Box, and look
inside. or else, you should find another way. Like the secret paths on a
chessboard,
where the crowds have to be formed rapidly to turn into hard-fought matches. Ask
for the Four Knights that can capture all the enemies with one swipe. The last of
them is the executioner. The First Commander of all men & all difficulies. As long
as you can understand her.

And I want him to have a very

good time playing against you.

Thank you.

<i>The man thanked me.</i>

Imagine that.

And I knew he wasn't gonna

cheat anyone else that day
and would look over
his shoulder thereafter.

I had managed something

better than payback.

By acting with purpose and understatement,

I had created a more just environment,
which is what I am asking of all of you.

This is the new way.

Well, how do you know

if he did the right thing
after you left?

Uh, I sat on a nearby

bench and watched awhile.

Thanks for coming.

I know you'll think it's worth the effort.

- Quickly, Spyros.
- Okay.

I always listen to the ground.

- It's how I got where I am.

- Mm-hmm. And?

An investigation has begun

into your office's methods and conduct,

focusing on an aborted
bribery case against Axelrod.

And the man leading the investigation

is dangerous and capable.

A younger, even smarter version of me,

if you can conjure that for yourself.

I scarcely can.

Who is he?

Oliver Dake.

Are we square now?

Don't serve rabbit food to an elephant

and ask if he's full.

Sir.

Would you get these fine

young barristers another round?

- Of course.
- Thank you.

Before I go and have a

nightcap with Bart Schooner
and get his thoughts on
who should replace him,
let me speak to what's
hanging over the table
and this entire room.

The investigation that

Mr. Dake is conducting.

You all know how to handle yourselves.

I want you all to cooperate,

to be truthful, of course.

Because I don't believe we

have anything to worry about.

See what he did?

We handle ourselves and Chuck

gives someone Head of CROWN

Or we cooperate with Dake and try our luck

starting over with Chuck's replacement.

Yeah, we saw what he did.

You're talking like a man

with a terminal disease.

1033
00:49:30,995 --> 00:49:32,496
Have a good time at the show.

1034
00:49:32,497 --> 00:49:35,737
You make sure that he gets to his car.

1035
00:49:41,048 --> 00:49:43,118
Yeah, talk to me, Fred.

1036
00:49:43,119 --> 00:49:45,456
I underestimated this, Chuck.

1037
00:49:45,457 --> 00:49:47,259
The General is not looking for pelts.

1038
00:49:47,260 --> 00:49:49,698
She said that Kurt Williams
would be a huge case

1039
00:49:49,699 --> 00:49:52,236
for whoever takes over your office next.

1040
00:49:52,237 --> 00:49:55,810
Understood.

1041
00:49:55,811 --> 00:49:57,046
<i>See you tomorrow.</i>

1042
00:49:57,047 --> 00:50:00,220
I'm sorry I couldn't do more.

1043
00:50:15,417 --> 00:50:18,288
Sorry I had to skip the recital.

1044
00:50:18,289 --> 00:50:20,660
It's been a balled-up kind of a day.

1045
00:50:20,661 --> 00:50:23,833
You don't have to apologize to me.

1046
00:50:23,834 --> 00:50:25,838
Just your daughter.

1047
00:50:30,046 --> 00:50:32,818
I talked to Oliver Dake.

1048
00:50:32,819 --> 00:50:35,824
I didn't have to admit
to anything too damaging.

1049
00:50:35,825 --> 00:50:38,128
But he'll be on your recusal next,

1050
00:50:38,129 --> 00:50:41,636
and... he is not gonna stop.

1051
00:50:51,255 --> 00:50:53,325
You have that look.

1052
00:50:56,232 --> 00:50:57,367
That bad, huh?
1053
00:51:00,173 --> 00:51:04,982
I have this exercise I do
with my clients called the 180.

1054
00:51:04,983 --> 00:51:06,786
When they've really lost the thread,

1055
00:51:06,787 --> 00:51:08,455
when they're so fixated on a stock,

1056
00:51:08,456 --> 00:51:11,361
they can't see it's a dumpster
burning in front of them.

1057
00:51:11,362 --> 00:51:14,400
Maybe they can cut their losses.

1058
00:51:14,401 --> 00:51:16,672
But only a great few

1059
00:51:16,673 --> 00:51:18,976
can go the opposite way, can pivot,

1060
00:51:18,977 --> 00:51:22,149
and see that it's really a short.

1061
00:51:22,150 --> 00:51:24,153
You're a prime candidate for it

1062
00:51:24,154 --> 00:51:27,828
because whatever...
choices you've been making,

1063
00:51:27,829 --> 00:51:29,999
they sure as hell aren't working.

1064
00:51:40,921 --> 00:51:43,927
One-eighty, Chuck.

1065
00:52:24,609 --> 00:52:26,979
One-eighty, Chuck.

1066
00:52:29,986 --> 00:52:32,757
What if we went after Spartan-Ives?
1067
00:52:32,758 --> 00:52:34,061
That's as big as it gets.

1068
00:52:42,645 --> 00:52:44,113
Ari Spyros.

1069
00:52:44,114 --> 00:52:46,084
There's something I need you to do for me.

1070
00:52:47,822 --> 00:52:49,290
Kornbluth.

1071
00:52:49,291 --> 00:52:51,461
I want to go on record to say that the SEC

1072
00:52:51,462 --> 00:52:56,437
has no plans to investigate
Spartan-Ives or Lawrence Boyd.

1073
00:52:56,438 --> 00:52:59,778
I cannot speak for the
United States attorney.

1074
00:52:59,779 --> 00:53:01,782
No, I will not confirm that.

1075
00:53:01,783 --> 00:53:05,155
Do you deny there's an active
investigation of Lawrence Boyd?

1076
00:53:05,156 --> 00:53:07,426
If my office undertook
such a radical endeavor

1077
00:53:07,427 --> 00:53:08,896
against a bedrock company

1078
00:53:08,897 --> 00:53:11,401
that has been such a friend
to the administration,

1079
00:53:11,402 --> 00:53:13,906
we would only do so with the full support

1080
00:53:13,907 --> 00:53:15,777
of the Attorney General's Office.

1081
00:53:15,778 --> 00:53:19,116
But, no, I cannot confirm that.

1082
00:53:19,117 --> 00:53:21,588
<i>So you have no comment
on the investigation?</i>

1083
00:53:48,543 --> 00:53:50,412
Congratulations.

1084
00:53:50,413 --> 00:53:51,982
If I fire you now, it'll look

1085
00:53:51,983 --> 00:53:54,086
like the administration is protecting Boyd,

1086
00:53:54,087 --> 00:53:55,088
obstructing justice.

1087
00:53:55,089 --> 00:53:56,558
Hmm.

1088
00:53:56,559 --> 00:53:59,063
They might even investigate
you for that, General.

1089
00:53:59,064 --> 00:54:01,334
You think you're a bold player?

1090
00:54:01,335 --> 00:54:03,271
Going after Spartan-Ives is asinine.

1091
00:54:03,272 --> 00:54:05,977
A man facing a firing squad
has only two choices...

1092
00:54:05,978 --> 00:54:08,716
accept it or push against his restraints.

1093
00:54:08,717 --> 00:54:10,987
And I don't accept anything.

1094
00:54:10,988 --> 00:54:13,191
You were facing hard labor.

1095
00:54:13,192 --> 00:54:14,794
Now you're in the firing line,

1096
00:54:14,795 --> 00:54:16,698
and you pulled me right there with you.

1097
00:54:16,699 --> 00:54:18,501
Not so.

1098
00:54:18,502 --> 00:54:20,673
Oh, if I win, Boyd goes down,

1099
00:54:20,674 --> 00:54:23,579
and we celebrate on the podium together.

1100
00:54:23,580 --> 00:54:26,718
If I lose, the failure is all mine.

1101
00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:29,524
"If Boyd goes down." You
really think it's that easy?

1102
00:54:29,525 --> 00:54:31,328
There's a reason no one's done this.

1103
00:54:33,199 --> 00:54:36,204
So go ahead and swing
your hatchet at the case.

1104
00:54:36,205 --> 00:54:38,174
I'll just fire you in a few months

1105
00:54:38,175 --> 00:54:39,844
after the searchlights pass.

1106
00:54:39,845 --> 00:54:42,249
All you've bought is time.

1107
00:55:01,121 --> 00:55:03,559
I got news last night
I never wanted to get...

1108
00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:06,163
Chuck Rhoades, coming at me.

1109
00:55:06,164 --> 00:55:09,236
I have lived my life as
an exemplar of rectitude

1110
00:55:09,237 --> 00:55:11,908
so as to never have to deal
with this kind of thing.

1111
00:55:11,909 --> 00:55:15,015
Still... he comes.

1112
00:55:15,016 --> 00:55:17,687
You did what I'm about to.

1113
00:55:17,688 --> 00:55:20,191
You squared off with
him, walked away unmarked.

1114
00:55:20,192 --> 00:55:23,031
I need your playbook, I
need to know how to beat him.

1115
00:55:23,032 --> 00:55:26,437
Will you help me?

1116
00:55:26,438 --> 00:55:29,544
I don't remember your
reassuring hand on my shoulder

1117
00:55:29,545 --> 00:55:31,916
when it was my time of trouble.

1118
00:55:33,553 --> 00:55:36,390
What I do remember is you,

1119
00:55:36,391 --> 00:55:38,729
the exemplar of Wall Street rectitude,

1120
00:55:38,730 --> 00:55:40,633
steering clear and making damn certain

1121
00:55:40,634 --> 00:55:43,839
that my stink didn't
waft anywhere near you,

1122
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:46,078
lest it stick.

1123
00:55:47,413 --> 00:55:52,089
Now, before I decide, answer this.

1124
00:55:52,090 --> 00:55:55,261
Are you a bastard?

1125
00:55:55,262 --> 00:55:58,836
Because for you to have
a chance against Rhoades,

1126
00:55:58,837 --> 00:56:00,940
you need to be.

1127
00:56:00,941 --> 00:56:03,177
Even though there will be lawyers,

1128
00:56:03,178 --> 00:56:07,319
there are no fucking rules...
not if you want to win.

1129
00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:11,661
You will have to crawl
through a river of shit

1130
00:56:11,662 --> 00:56:15,168
and risk bleeding out a
hundred yards short of victory.

1131
00:56:15,169 --> 00:56:17,072
You have to be prepared to do things

1132
00:56:17,073 --> 00:56:19,644
that are entirely outside the bounds

1133
00:56:19,645 --> 00:56:22,316
of conventional morality.

1134
00:56:24,354 --> 00:56:26,157
What do you imagine I had to do

1135
00:56:26,158 --> 00:56:28,763
to get to the top of Spartan-Ives?

Mr. McKinnon, I'm sorry

to put you through this.

984
00:53:41,219 --> 00:53:43,386
It's Shayleen.

985
00:53:55,666 --> 00:53:56,999
Turn it off.

986
00:53:58,235 --> 00:53:59,401
Turn it off!

987
00:54:04,574 --> 00:54:05,806
The moaning.

988
00:54:05,808 --> 00:54:08,410
Yeah. I know.

989
00:54:08,412 --> 00:54:09,844
I know.

990
00:54:09,846 --> 00:54:11,679
Would you like a drink, Mr. McKinnon?

991
00:54:11,681 --> 00:54:13,515
No.

992
00:54:13,517 --> 00:54:15,350
You're strong.

993
00:54:15,352 --> 00:54:17,318
I'd need one.

994
00:54:19,288 --> 00:54:21,889
I want to make this divorce hurt.

995
00:54:21,891 --> 00:54:23,958
I'll take the kids and the fucking house.

996
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:26,894
Hold on to that, Tom.
997
00:54:26,896 --> 00:54:29,697
Be hurt, sure.

998
00:54:29,699 --> 00:54:31,265
Be angry at Shayleen.

999
00:54:31,267 --> 00:54:35,102
She was weak. But be angrier at Boyd.

1000
00:54:35,104 --> 00:54:37,438
He's the responsible party here.

1001
00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:39,706
Yeah. We were friends.

1002
00:54:41,877 --> 00:54:44,311
Spent long weekends at his compound.

1003
00:54:44,313 --> 00:54:48,182
Lawrence Boyd can be friend to no man.

1004
00:54:53,221 --> 00:54:57,356
He's a venal beast of the first order.

1005
00:54:57,358 --> 00:55:00,460
He needs to demonstrate that
he is the alpha of the pack,

1006
00:55:00,462 --> 00:55:03,196
needs to dominate you in his own mind

1007
00:55:03,198 --> 00:55:05,999
by heaving his seed into your bride.

1008
00:55:06,001 --> 00:55:08,534
Jesus fuck.

1009
00:55:08,536 --> 00:55:11,070
He didn't use a rubber?

1010
00:55:11,072 --> 00:55:12,838
Of course you want to kill him.

1011
00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:14,474
I know I would.

1012
00:55:14,476 --> 00:55:16,509
Choke him till the light goes out.

1013
00:55:16,511 --> 00:55:19,612
Violation like that
stirs a man to savagery.

1014
00:55:19,614 --> 00:55:21,547
You won't do it, but you <i>want</i> to.

1015
00:55:21,549 --> 00:55:22,848
Isn't that right?

1016
00:55:22,850 --> 00:55:24,617
Yeah, I want to fucking kill him.

1017
00:55:24,619 --> 00:55:28,120
Yeah, but you can't. The
law dictates that you can't.

1018
00:55:28,122 --> 00:55:31,256
And yet that doesn't mean
you have to let him win.

1019
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:35,494
Okay, so, how do I win here?

1020
00:55:35,496 --> 00:55:37,329
Disgrace him.

1021
00:55:37,331 --> 00:55:39,632
Humble him.

1022
00:55:39,634 --> 00:55:41,266
Force him to his knees

1023
00:55:41,268 --> 00:55:44,902
and fuck his metaphorical throat
until he swallows <i>your</i> seed.

1024
00:55:46,573 --> 00:55:48,173
I'm in.

1025
00:55:48,175 --> 00:55:50,041
Boyd's been rigging Treasury bids.

1026
00:55:50,043 --> 00:55:51,510
I'll get you whatever I can.

1027
00:55:56,150 --> 00:55:58,182
Whatever it takes, I'm in.

1028
00:56:02,288 --> 00:56:05,056
I talked to a friend of
mine, a lawyer for the League.

1029
00:56:05,058 --> 00:56:07,525
He back-channeled and got a yellow light.

1030
00:56:07,527 --> 00:56:10,895
NFL thinks it would be
best for all involved

1031
00:56:10,897 --> 00:56:12,063
if you didn't bid.

1032
00:56:12,065 --> 00:56:13,297
Stated reason?

1033
00:56:13,299 --> 00:56:14,598
Public perception,

1034
00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:16,667
recent legal aspersion, 9/11 revelations.

1035
00:56:16,669 --> 00:56:17,768
Fuck!

1036
00:56:17,770 --> 00:56:19,436
But they appreciate your interest.

1037
00:56:19,438 --> 00:56:20,471

The same oath sworn by you, in fact,

to the people of the United States.

1006

You don't need to whisper

00:10:13,695 --> 00:10:15,795
that'll come true if

It kind of is, though, isn't it?

233
00:10:21,836 --> 00:10:23,836
Yeah. Because once you say it,

Austerity.

00:10:27,575 --> 00:10:29,974
Okay. Step it out for everyone.

237
00:10:31,245 --> 00:10:34,879
Well, the note exchange requires
that the town pay you first,

238
00:10:34,881 --> 00:10:37,148
before any of its other
financial obligations,

239
00:10:37,150 --> 00:10:39,384
like union contracts with town workers,

240
00:10:39,386 --> 00:10:41,186

241
00:10:41,188 --> 00:10:43,254
Austerity just means you enforce that.

242
00:10:43,256 --> 00:10:46,091
Yes. Go ahead, seize their assets,

243
00:10:46,093 --> 00:10:47,926
like Singer did in Argentina.

244
00:10:47,928 --> 00:10:49,227
What kind of assets?

245
00:10:49,229 --> 00:10:51,629
Sandicot is not an entire
South American country.

246
00:10:51,631 --> 00:10:54,402
Right. We wouldn't be
skimming cream off the top.

247
00:10:54,437 --> 00:10:55,900
We'd be gutting them for their organs,

248
00:10:55,902 --> 00:10:57,368
like in a Korean horror movie.

249
00:10:57,370 --> 00:11:01,105
You'd be mostly looking at land,
buildings, and utilities.

250
00:11:01,107 --> 00:11:02,873
Town also has an original Remington.

251
00:11:02,875 --> 00:11:05,509
It's worth upwards of $900,000.

252
00:11:05,511 --> 00:11:06,877
The fuck's a Remington?

253
00:11:06,879 --> 00:11:09,913
Frederic. American artist
from the 19th century.

254
00:11:09,915 --> 00:11:12,516
He specialized in
depictions of the Old West.

255
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,087
I took Art History for the automatic A.

256
00:11:17,089 --> 00:11:18,421
Some of it stuck.

257
00:11:18,998 --> 00:11:20,624
If you force them to pay you,

258
00:11:20,626 --> 00:11:22,726
the county would have
to severely cut back

259
00:11:22,728 --> 00:11:25,662
on its municipal workforce,
roll back labor contracts,

260
00:11:25,664 --> 00:11:27,397
and pillage its pension funds.

261
00:11:27,399 --> 00:11:29,733
Eventually they'd have
to shutter some schools,

262
00:11:29,735 --> 00:11:31,468
leading to overpopulated classrooms

263
00:11:31,470 --> 00:11:33,202
and forced free periods.

264
00:11:33,204 --> 00:11:36,172
Decreased graduation rates,
increased crime.

265
00:11:36,174 --> 00:11:39,709
They would be consolidation
of hospitals, fire houses.

266
00:11:39,711 --> 00:11:41,944
There would also be
cuts in police manpower.

267
00:11:41,946 --> 00:11:44,046
Which would bring other
kinds of problems.

268
00:11:44,048 --> 00:11:45,515
The effects are viral.

269
00:11:45,517 --> 00:11:47,350
The losses spin off to the businesses

270
00:11:47,352 --> 00:11:49,218
that provide services to the town.

271
00:11:49,220 --> 00:11:51,087
Other area businesses start to close,

272
00:11:51,089 --> 00:11:53,656
and more jobs are lost.

273
00:11:53,658 --> 00:11:55,925
Won't all this be a PR nightmare?

274
00:11:55,927 --> 00:11:58,995
PR that comes with losing that
much money is a nightmare, too.

275
00:11:58,997 --> 00:12:00,663
And we lose the money.

276
00:12:00,665 --> 00:12:03,199
I don't like any of the
answers I'm hearing.

277
00:12:03,201 --> 00:12:05,268
There has to be a way to get this done
278
00:12:05,270 --> 00:12:07,336
without destroying the place.

279
00:12:07,338 --> 00:12:09,305
Model it up for me.

280
00:12:09,307 --> 00:12:11,507
All scenarios.

281
00:12:18,449 --> 00:12:22,350
Son, I did something today

I did. Played my 18,

285
00:12:29,392 --> 00:12:33,195
and then I withdrew my membership
from the Garden City Golf Club.

286
00:12:33,197 --> 00:12:36,164
Oh, that's your natural habitat.

287
00:12:36,166 --> 00:12:40,335
Few places a man can be as comfortable.

288
00:12:40,337 --> 00:12:42,203
But it was time.

00:12:42,205 --> 00:12:44,238
They don't allow women.

00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,241
And I cannot be a member of
a restricted club anymore.

291
00:12:47,243 --> 00:12:48,343
Noble.

292
00:12:48,345 --> 00:12:51,178
Anticipatory. Of the future.

293
00:12:51,180 --> 00:12:52,847
That's baked right into the word.

294
00:12:52,849 --> 00:12:56,150
Your future,
which should start right now.

295
00:12:56,152 --> 00:12:58,052
It's unethical for me to run while...

296
00:12:58,054 --> 00:13:01,455
The Tappan Institute
commissioned a poll.

297
00:13:01,457 --> 00:13:05,392
Oh, your buddy Tate Tappan's
think tank just happened...

298
00:13:05,394 --> 00:13:06,760
Independent.

299
00:13:06,762 --> 00:13:09,163
No connection to me.

300
00:13:09,165 --> 00:13:10,865
The results are quite...

301
00:13:10,867 --> 00:13:14,067
I don't want to hear anything about it.

302
00:13:16,405 --> 00:13:18,104
[sighs]

303
00:13:18,106 --> 00:13:21,140
No, I've just gotten out
from under a cloud.

304
00:13:21,142 --> 00:13:23,943
If word leaks out about a
poll while I'm in office,

305
00:13:23,945 --> 00:13:26,646
that is gonna be a darker cloud.

306
00:13:26,648 --> 00:13:28,714
What is this, then?

307
00:13:30,852 --> 00:13:33,019
That's Camelot right there.

308
00:13:33,021 --> 00:13:34,620
Don't try to spin it.

309
00:13:34,622 --> 00:13:38,892
That is a picture of a
man running for office.

310
00:13:41,696 --> 00:13:45,230
You're doing more than
just dreaming about it.

311
00:13:45,232 --> 00:13:46,965
I'll send you those poll results.

312
00:13:46,967 --> 00:13:49,201
I think they're gonna be encouraging.

313
00:13:50,838 --> 00:13:55,574
But you're gonna have to
resolve things with Wendy.

314
00:13:55,576 --> 00:13:59,111
You cannot be an effective candidate

315
00:13:59,113 --> 00:14:01,013
if your marriage is in the crapper.

316
00:14:01,015 --> 00:14:03,282
That's not really a thing anymore, Dad.

317
00:14:03,284 --> 00:14:05,984
That I'd need a woman standing
behind me on the podium,

318
00:14:05,986 --> 00:14:08,120
that's archaic. [scoffs]

319
00:14:08,122 --> 00:14:12,257
Son, you do know why you need her
in your life, don't you?

320
00:14:14,094 --> 00:14:19,063
She is a natural-born killer.

321
00:14:19,065 --> 00:14:22,667
That's what she builds,
all day... killers.

322
00:14:23,804 --> 00:14:26,771
You're a good candidate.

323
00:14:26,773 --> 00:14:29,607
She'd make you unstoppable.

324
00:14:32,446 --> 00:14:35,413
Don't get your hopes up.

325
00:14:35,415 --> 00:14:38,249
Oh, you still got your shucking skills.

326
00:14:38,251 --> 00:14:40,418
Summer job on City Island when I was 14.

327
00:14:40,420 --> 00:14:43,754
[Dean] For the record,
I am not eating any of those.

I'm gonna get with Scolari,

see if I can get a read on him.

348
00:15:50,721 --> 00:15:54,556
Thank you for agreeing to meet,
Senator Scolari.

349
00:15:54,558 --> 00:15:56,825
Oh, call me Joe.

350
00:15:56,827 --> 00:15:58,793
What brings you up the Thruway?

351
00:15:58,795 --> 00:16:00,595
You looking for approval for another,

352
00:16:00,597 --> 00:16:03,197
uh, outdoor shower at your
place in the Hamptons?

353
00:16:03,199 --> 00:16:04,533
[laughs]

354
00:16:04,535 --> 00:16:06,736
Well, if you've gone to so
much trouble to research me,

355
00:16:06,736 --> 00:16:08,503
you must know why.

356
00:16:08,505 --> 00:16:10,372
I'm here as an investor
in New York State

357
00:16:10,372 --> 00:16:12,774
meeting with one its
finest representatives.

358
00:16:12,776 --> 00:16:14,575
Of course.

359
00:16:14,577 --> 00:16:17,878
I know about the note
exchange on Sandicot.

360
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,348
And I want you to know
the Location Board

361
00:16:20,350 --> 00:16:23,817
doesn't take matters of
gaming licenses lightly.

362
00:16:25,021 --> 00:16:27,255
The committee chose the location

363
00:16:27,257 --> 00:16:29,123
that would bring the greatest benefit

364
00:16:29,125 --> 00:16:31,258
to the greatest number of people.

365
00:16:31,260 --> 00:16:33,260
That turned out to be Kingsford.

366
00:16:33,262 --> 00:16:35,462
Oh, I believe
that the state-appointed board,

367
00:16:35,464 --> 00:16:36,764
handpicked by the Governor,

368
00:16:36,766 --> 00:16:39,199
would be nothing short of rigorous.

369
00:16:39,201 --> 00:16:41,969
Thing is, I have it on good authority

370
00:16:41,971 --> 00:16:45,363
that Sandicot was
gonna get that license.

371
00:16:45,398 --> 00:16:48,575
So the late switch seems... odd.

372
00:16:48,577 --> 00:16:52,479
Our process always
seems odd to outsiders.

373
00:16:52,481 --> 00:16:55,615
That's where the whole
sausage-making thing comes from.

374
00:16:55,617 --> 00:16:57,517
But let me reassure you,

375
00:16:57,519 --> 00:17:00,653
there was nothing out of
the ordinary about it.

376
00:17:00,655 --> 00:17:02,989
The committee chose the location

377
00:17:02,991 --> 00:17:04,791
that would bring the greatest benefit

378
00:17:04,793 --> 00:17:06,392
to the greatest number of people.

379
00:17:06,394 --> 00:17:07,961
That turned out to be Kingsford.

380
00:17:07,963 --> 00:17:09,796
Yeah, no, you said.

381
00:17:09,798 --> 00:17:12,865
What I was looking for
is a specific reason

382
00:17:12,867 --> 00:17:14,601
that decision was made.

383
00:17:14,603 --> 00:17:16,435
Oh.

384
00:17:16,437 --> 00:17:18,905
You want specifics.

385
00:17:18,907 --> 00:17:22,708
Details into our process.

386
00:17:22,710 --> 00:17:24,776
Inner workings and so forth.

387
00:17:24,778 --> 00:17:26,312
That would be helpful.

388
00:17:26,314 --> 00:17:27,679
Sure.

389
00:17:27,681 --> 00:17:30,082
I can share that.

390
00:17:30,084 --> 00:17:32,284
The committee chose the location

391
00:17:32,286 --> 00:17:34,086
that would bring the greatest benefit

392
00:17:34,088 --> 00:17:36,521
to the greatest number of people.

393
00:17:36,523 --> 00:17:39,524
That turned out to be Kingsford.

394
00:17:39,526 --> 00:17:44,462
Just as I'm sure you took on
the obligations of Sandicot

395
00:17:44,464 --> 00:17:46,698
for the good of those fine people.

396
00:17:55,908 --> 00:17:59,244
I hope this has been as much
fun for you as it has for me.

397
00:17:59,246 --> 00:18:01,446
Absolutely.

398
00:18:04,851 --> 00:18:08,819
d<i> dramatic music</i> d

399
00:18:15,465 --> 00:18:17,163
He doesn't make any
of his own decisions.

400
00:18:17,198 --> 00:18:19,263
He's got a string hanging
right out of his back.

401
00:18:19,265 --> 00:18:21,165
And it's the Governor who's pulling it.

402
00:18:21,167 --> 00:18:23,367
I'll see what I can find out.

403
00:18:24,296 --> 00:18:25,835
I didn't sleep last night.

404
00:18:26,838 --> 00:18:28,838
Your numbers have been strong,

405
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:30,974
even in a tough market.

406
00:18:30,976 --> 00:18:32,364
Yeah, they have been.

407
00:18:34,180 --> 00:18:36,313
So what was it kept you up?

408
00:18:36,315 --> 00:18:37,714
Russian hackers.

409
00:18:39,285 --> 00:18:41,785
They can fuck with us so easily,

410
00:18:41,787 --> 00:18:44,353
in ways we can't even comprehend.

411
00:18:44,355 --> 00:18:46,156
A few keystrokes and they can bring

412
00:18:46,158 --> 00:18:48,224
an entire airline to a standstill.

413
00:18:48,226 --> 00:18:50,393
Thousands of people stranded.

414
00:18:50,395 --> 00:18:52,428
So your fear is, uh, what?

415
00:18:52,430 --> 00:18:55,832
These hackers targeting you?
The entire market?

416
00:18:55,834 --> 00:18:57,734
My portfolio could go up in flames.

417
00:18:57,736 --> 00:18:59,268
I have a family.

418
00:19:01,272 --> 00:19:03,272
When did you start losing sleep over it?

419
00:19:03,274 --> 00:19:05,575
Just last night.

420
00:19:05,577 --> 00:19:07,076
Anything happen yesterday?

421
00:19:07,078 --> 00:19:08,844
I had to go out to Axe's house

422
00:19:08,846 --> 00:19:11,747
in the Hamptons for a special meeting.

423
00:19:11,749 --> 00:19:14,584
Axe bought the distressed
debt on this town upstate.
424
00:19:14,586 --> 00:19:17,052
Now they're defaulting.
It's a shit load of money.

425
00:19:17,054 --> 00:19:18,653
What do you think you should do?

426
00:19:20,991 --> 00:19:23,058
Well, what are the options?

427
00:19:23,060 --> 00:19:25,460
Austerity. Or lose money.

428
00:19:35,572 --> 00:19:37,439
Do you see the connection?

429
00:19:37,441 --> 00:19:39,073
With the hackers?

430
00:19:41,278 --> 00:19:42,810
You're saying we're like them?

431
00:19:42,812 --> 00:19:44,045
They're agents of chaos

432
00:19:44,047 --> 00:19:45,913
who can destabilize all our lives

433
00:19:45,915 --> 00:19:47,782
just because they feel like it.

434
00:19:47,784 --> 00:19:49,683
Who are you to those people upstate?

435
00:19:49,685 --> 00:19:51,418
- Chaos.
- Yes.

436
00:19:52,388 --> 00:19:54,789
Axe Cap is the agent of chaos.

437
00:19:54,791 --> 00:19:58,525
You know what austerity means.
438
00:19:58,527 --> 00:20:01,595
You guys traverse moral
and legal gray areas

439
00:20:01,597 --> 00:20:03,464
all the time, but you can live with it

440
00:20:03,466 --> 00:20:06,300
because you're rarely aware
of anyone getting hurt by it.

441
00:20:06,302 --> 00:20:10,003
With this town,
you know exactly who's getting hurt,

442
00:20:10,005 --> 00:20:11,972
and where they're gonna feel their pain.

443
00:20:11,974 --> 00:20:14,541
And how their lives are
gonna spin out of control

444
00:20:14,543 --> 00:20:16,677
because of decisions
made in your presence,

445
00:20:16,679 --> 00:20:19,846
at a fucking mansion in the Hamptons.

446
00:20:19,848 --> 00:20:21,915
I don't even know that
it's wrong for him

447
00:20:21,917 --> 00:20:23,591
to do what he's doing...

448
00:20:24,887 --> 00:20:27,720
only that I don't like
how it makes me feel.

449
00:20:27,722 --> 00:20:30,223
This is all connected.

450
00:20:32,861 --> 00:20:35,929
When a situation starts affecting you
451
00:20:35,931 --> 00:20:38,765
so much you can't sleep,

452
00:20:38,767 --> 00:20:42,001
you have to take action.

453
00:20:42,003 --> 00:20:43,503
Fighting for those people

454
00:20:43,505 --> 00:20:46,673
and fighting for yourself
are one and the same.

455
00:20:54,481 --> 00:20:57,749
[woman]<i> I taught elementary
school for 30 years,</i>

456
00:20:57,751 --> 00:21:00,219
<i>always contributing to my pension.</i>

457
00:21:03,891 --> 00:21:07,459
<i>That was my nest egg for retirement.</i>

458
00:21:07,461 --> 00:21:10,862
<i>Then that nest egg got invested.</i>

459
00:21:10,864 --> 00:21:15,834
<i>But the town it was invested in
mismanaged its finances.</i>

460
00:21:15,836 --> 00:21:19,738
<i>And now they don't want
to pay what they owe,</i>

461
00:21:19,740 --> 00:21:22,106
<i>and my retirement is threatened.</i>

462
00:21:25,779 --> 00:21:28,379
A spot like this will kick
off our Astroturf campaign

463
00:21:28,381 --> 00:21:30,781
to make it look like the
area's getting a bailout

464
00:21:30,783 --> 00:21:32,083
and not a death sentence.

465
00:21:32,085 --> 00:21:33,484
Commercials like this one,

466
00:21:33,486 --> 00:21:34,986
but specific to Sandicot,

467
00:21:34,988 --> 00:21:37,188
sell the idea that our investors,

468
00:21:37,190 --> 00:21:38,723
teachers from the Midwest,

469
00:21:38,725 --> 00:21:41,492
hardworking,
responsible people from all over,

470
00:21:41,494 --> 00:21:45,633
they are the ones who suffer
if Sandicot is allowed to default.

471
00:21:45,668 --> 00:21:48,095
Make it clear that we are the
ones willing to negotiate.

472
00:21:48,130 --> 00:21:49,422
It's the town that's being difficult.

473
00:21:49,422 --> 00:21:51,836
Of course.
Sandicot is being uncooperative.

474
00:21:51,838 --> 00:21:53,036
We'll say all that.

475
00:21:53,038 --> 00:21:54,938
Any questions?

476
00:21:57,990 --> 00:21:59,243
Danzig.

477
00:21:59,245 --> 00:22:01,144
You've been awfully quiet.
478
00:22:01,146 --> 00:22:02,964
Are we really gonna do this?

479
00:22:04,683 --> 00:22:07,484
I mean, we can make some market moves

480
00:22:07,486 --> 00:22:11,654
and potentially pick up some
of the losses by next quarter.

481
00:22:11,656 --> 00:22:14,057
We're making it look like
our investors are down

482
00:22:14,059 --> 00:22:15,359
to eating cat food.

483
00:22:15,361 --> 00:22:18,127
The people up there are
sure to turn to the media

484
00:22:18,129 --> 00:22:21,798
and to cry poor,
to play the victim card.

485
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,533
It makes sense for us to point out

486
00:22:23,535 --> 00:22:25,668
that there are other victims.

487
00:22:25,670 --> 00:22:26,870
Exactly.

488
00:22:26,872 --> 00:22:30,139
But we are not really the victims.

489
00:22:30,141 --> 00:22:31,541
They are.

490
00:22:33,044 --> 00:22:35,077
I kind of feel like he's right.

491
00:22:36,781 --> 00:22:40,316
We could hold the debt,
take a short-term loss,

492
00:22:40,318 --> 00:22:43,685
but then take the lead
in re-growing Sandicot,

493
00:22:43,687 --> 00:22:45,854
redeveloping the downtown.

494
00:22:45,856 --> 00:22:48,224
Uh, create a food hall

495
00:22:48,226 --> 00:22:51,393
or bring in a minor-league team.

496
00:22:53,030 --> 00:22:55,664
Taylor, something
you want to add to that?

497
00:22:58,502 --> 00:22:59,868
Yes.

498
00:23:01,972 --> 00:23:04,372
It is unfortunate...
offensive, actually...

499
00:23:04,374 --> 00:23:05,841
to even be talking about this,

500
00:23:05,843 --> 00:23:08,109
and that people have to
live in near-poverty.

501
00:23:11,415 --> 00:23:14,715
But in many ways,
a town is like a business.

502
00:23:14,717 --> 00:23:17,885
And when a business
operates beyond its means,

503
00:23:17,887 --> 00:23:19,321
when numbers don't add up,

504
00:23:19,323 --> 00:23:21,156
and the people in charge continue on,
505
00:23:21,158 --> 00:23:23,624
heedless of that face,
sure that some sugar daddy,

506
00:23:23,626 --> 00:23:25,893
usually in the form of
the Federal Government,

507
00:23:25,895 --> 00:23:28,320
will come along and scoop them
up and cover the shortfalls,

508
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,799
well,<i> that</i> truly offends<i> me.</i>

509
00:23:35,505 --> 00:23:37,705
People might say you hurt this town.

510
00:23:37,707 --> 00:23:41,641
But in my opinion,
the town put the hurt on itself.

511
00:23:41,643 --> 00:23:43,110
Corrections are in order.

512
00:23:43,112 --> 00:23:44,678
There's a way to make this work,

513
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,647
and that way is hard, but necessary.

514
00:23:47,649 --> 00:23:51,751
As Taleb says,
"Become antifragile, or die."

515
00:23:51,753 --> 00:23:54,254
Once we do this,
the town will face that challenge

516
00:23:54,256 --> 00:23:56,356
and come out stronger.

517
00:23:56,358 --> 00:23:58,091
Or it will cease being.
518
00:23:58,093 --> 00:24:00,059
Either result absolutely natural,

519
00:24:00,061 --> 00:24:02,261
as in, of nature itself.

What do you want to

know about Black Jack?

975
00:49:19,764 --> 00:49:22,532
What drives him. What moves him.

976
00:49:22,534 --> 00:49:24,267
Who he's close to.

977
00:49:24,269 --> 00:49:26,436
How I can get close to him.

978
00:49:26,438 --> 00:49:29,138
He's driven by maintaining influence...

979
00:49:29,140 --> 00:49:30,840
naturally...

980
00:49:30,842 --> 00:49:35,979
and growing his six-generation fortune
and staying invisible despite it all.

981
00:49:35,981 --> 00:49:38,615
Advisor to kings and princes.

982
00:49:38,617 --> 00:49:41,985
There was a time not long ago
I could have put you in a room with him.

983
00:49:41,987 --> 00:49:45,787
But I'm off his speed dial now.

984
00:49:45,789 --> 00:49:47,523
All the way off.

985
00:49:49,093 --> 00:49:50,926
Roberto...

986
00:49:50,928 --> 00:49:53,295
what you're considering upstate,

987
00:49:53,297 --> 00:49:57,099
the vulture play, know this...

988
00:49:57,101 --> 00:50:00,503
Everybody's a Libertarian
until it's their town that's dying.

989
00:50:00,505 --> 00:50:03,872
Then a bailout only seems right.

990
00:50:03,874 --> 00:50:05,273
Before I ended up in here,

991
00:50:05,275 --> 00:50:07,776
I would've said to you,

992
00:50:07,778 --> 00:50:10,012
"Let it implode. Raze the fucker.

993
00:50:10,014 --> 00:50:12,581
Let something new grow in its place.

994
00:50:12,583 --> 00:50:14,382
Prop it up and you're only delaying

995
00:50:14,384 --> 00:50:15,918
the inevitable collapse."

996
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:17,252
But now?

997
00:50:17,924 --> 00:50:18,819
You have to handle it right,

998
00:50:18,821 --> 00:50:21,322
or you'll be facing the
same torches and pitchforks

999
00:50:21,324 --> 00:50:22,623
that landed me in here.

1000
00:50:22,625 --> 00:50:24,926
Except that what I'd
be doing isn't illegal.

1001
00:50:27,197 --> 00:50:29,097
I did everything I could

1002
00:50:29,099 --> 00:50:30,865
to make sure it didn't come to this.

1003
00:50:30,867 --> 00:50:32,767
But still it went bad.

1004
00:50:35,605 --> 00:50:37,838
Just don't forget...

1005
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:39,147
if they hate you enough,

1006
00:50:39,147 --> 00:50:42,176
they will find legal
grounds to fuck you.

1007
00:50:42,178 --> 00:50:44,211
You know this.

And if they're not smoked soon,

114
00:05:14,428 --> 00:05:16,928
they'll go one-dimensional.

115
00:05:16,930 --> 00:05:19,832
I was hoping to smoke them
with you at Foley's party,

116
00:05:19,834 --> 00:05:21,833
but while I've received my invitation,

117
00:05:21,835 --> 00:05:24,336
you were left off the list.

118
00:05:24,338 --> 00:05:27,105
You didn't get his
granddaughter that clerkship,

119
00:05:27,107 --> 00:05:30,441
and she went crying to him.

120
00:05:30,443 --> 00:05:33,444
Well, I'm sorry that
Foley feels let down.

121
00:05:33,446 --> 00:05:36,647
He feels<i> disrespected.</i>

122
00:05:36,649 --> 00:05:39,201
He could have gotten the girl
the damned clerkship himself,

123
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,558
but he wanted you to do
it for him to show fealty,

124
00:05:41,629 --> 00:05:44,154
to show that when you were governor,

125
00:05:44,156 --> 00:05:45,456
you would remember him.

126
00:05:45,458 --> 00:05:48,493
What he wanted were his balls gargled.

127
00:05:48,495 --> 00:05:51,028
And if he thinks that's
the relationship we'll have

128
00:05:51,030 --> 00:05:54,932
- as this campaign progresses...
- Oh Sonny...

129
00:05:54,934 --> 00:05:57,067
it's a little too late for that now.

130
00:05:57,069 --> 00:05:59,236
He got himself a new show pony.

131
00:05:59,238 --> 00:06:00,337
Who?
132
00:06:00,339 --> 00:06:02,498
Bob Sweeney.

133
00:06:02,592 --> 00:06:04,008
Buffalo Bob?

134
00:06:04,010 --> 00:06:06,843
Two terms as mayor, three in the Senate,

135
00:06:06,845 --> 00:06:10,013
and he puts on that damn
EMT uniform at every parade.

136
00:06:10,015 --> 00:06:13,283
- He's second-tier.
- He<i> was.</i>

137
00:06:13,285 --> 00:06:17,353
But now he has the inside
track to the nomination.

138
00:06:17,355 --> 00:06:19,643
Because Foley says he does.

139
00:06:19,682 --> 00:06:20,891
Yes, sir!

140
00:06:20,893 --> 00:06:24,594
We don't have kings, Dad.

141
00:06:24,596 --> 00:06:26,729
We live in a democracy.

142
00:06:26,731 --> 00:06:30,033
You sound like a fucking hippie.

143
00:06:31,695 --> 00:06:33,812
I know that this is difficult to grasp,

144
00:06:33,875 --> 00:06:37,373
but the age of the kingmaker is past.

145
00:06:37,375 --> 00:06:39,375
I don't need a power broker.
146
00:06:39,377 --> 00:06:41,844
I have my own power.

147
00:06:41,846 --> 00:06:44,580
And when it is made manifest,

148
00:06:44,582 --> 00:06:47,516
Foley will zip his fucking pants up

149
00:06:47,518 --> 00:06:49,885
and look me in the eye.

He won't even talk to me.

154
00:07:05,702 --> 00:07:07,451
Does that seem like the behavior

155
00:07:07,529 --> 00:07:09,600
of a man whose acts were unintentional?

156
00:07:09,615 --> 00:07:12,007
No. But it doesn't
mean you have to engage.

157
00:07:12,140 --> 00:07:14,574
Sure it does. And do it old-school.

158
00:07:15,610 --> 00:07:17,477
Rough him up?

159
00:07:17,479 --> 00:07:20,145
I'm all for it, but his
company's not publicly traded.

160
00:07:20,147 --> 00:07:21,947
We don't operate in the steel sector.

161
00:07:21,949 --> 00:07:24,350
Well, figure out where
the fuck he gets his iron.

162
00:07:24,352 --> 00:07:26,151
He can't own all the mines.

163
00:07:28,765 --> 00:07:31,843
I need to know where Jack
Foley sources his ore.

164
00:07:32,070 --> 00:07:33,325
Most steel in this country doesn't come

165
00:07:33,327 --> 00:07:35,327
from ore these days,
it comes from scrap.

166
00:07:35,329 --> 00:07:37,696
Foley ain't a scrapper.
Someone's supplying him.

167
00:07:37,698 --> 00:07:40,366
Find out who, and Axe is
gonna crush Foley's business.

00:10:15,010 --> 00:10:16,443
[door closes]

228
00:10:23,152 --> 00:10:24,618
Well, well.

229
00:10:24,620 --> 00:10:26,786
Impressive ground game,

230
00:10:26,788 --> 00:10:30,122
showing me there's no corner
of the state you don't touch.

231
00:10:30,124 --> 00:10:33,359
Ah, I planned to be up here.

232
00:10:33,361 --> 00:10:34,827
Sure.

233
00:10:37,299 --> 00:10:39,299
Ah, so...

234
00:10:42,103 --> 00:10:45,170
Uh, is your granddaughter
enjoying Washington?

235
00:10:45,172 --> 00:10:47,372
Just getting settled in. Hmm.

236
00:10:47,374 --> 00:10:51,610
She and I remain touched by
the generosity of your spirit.

237
00:10:51,612 --> 00:10:54,145
Good. That's nice to hear.

238
00:10:54,147 --> 00:10:57,849
Ah, there's someone,
uh, I need you to see.

239
00:10:57,851 --> 00:10:59,150
George Minchak.

240
00:10:59,152 --> 00:11:01,985
- Okay.
- She vets all of my candidates.

241
00:11:01,987 --> 00:11:03,688
You want her to know everything.

242
00:11:03,690 --> 00:11:05,956
- [sighs]
- It's a stress test.

243
00:11:05,958 --> 00:11:07,225
- Yeah.
- We prepare for what

244
00:11:07,227 --> 00:11:10,428
- the opposition will use.
- [clicks teeth]

245
00:11:10,430 --> 00:11:13,464
I'm not really sure I'm
entirely comfortable with that.
246
00:11:13,466 --> 00:11:16,033
My last candidate who did not use her...

247
00:11:16,035 --> 00:11:17,667
[exhales] was Spitzer.

248
00:11:17,669 --> 00:11:19,669
I'll fit her right in.

249
00:11:19,671 --> 00:11:22,606
And we need to do it right
<i>now</i> because of the attention

250
00:11:22,608 --> 00:11:26,075
this, uh, unofficial
campaign visit will bring.

251
00:11:26,077 --> 00:11:28,111
I'd have told you if I'd thought that...

252
00:11:28,113 --> 00:11:30,380
No, you... you don't need
to tell me everything.

253
00:11:30,382 --> 00:11:32,349
You need to tell Minchak everything.

254
00:11:32,351 --> 00:11:34,450
[sniffs] Then Minchak tells me.

255
00:11:35,853 --> 00:11:37,152
Hmm.

256
00:11:37,154 --> 00:11:39,888
- That was a joke.
- [exhales] Okay.

257
00:11:39,890 --> 00:11:43,225
Uh, what you're doing up here,
um, feeling their pain?

258
00:11:43,227 --> 00:11:45,994
It's a time-honored tradition.

259
00:11:45,996 --> 00:11:49,331
And the way you refused to,
uh, play to the grandstand,

260
00:11:49,333 --> 00:11:51,999
thus ensuring that the, uh,
reporters will chase you

261
00:11:52,001 --> 00:11:55,102
to the next whistle stop,
that brings a smile.

262
00:11:55,104 --> 00:11:57,639
Yes, I felt that
to do interviews at this time

263
00:11:57,641 --> 00:11:59,206
would only have downside.

- Bearing of a Roman Centurion?

348
00:15:18,530 --> 00:15:21,197
- [door closes]
- Or slices through rough seas

349
00:15:21,199 --> 00:15:24,733
- like a Man-O-War?
- What?

350
00:15:24,735 --> 00:15:27,270
Birthday speech. You got skills?

351
00:15:27,272 --> 00:15:28,904
Not for... all that.

352
00:15:28,906 --> 00:15:31,607
But the party, I have a conflict.

353
00:15:31,609 --> 00:15:33,542
I want to gauge the
importance of attending.

354
00:15:33,544 --> 00:15:37,312
Axe doesn't take attendance,
but he knows who's in the room.

355
00:15:37,314 --> 00:15:40,182
- I'll leave it at that.
- Fuck. [exhales]

356
00:15:41,885 --> 00:15:43,552
Did you just say "fuck"?

357
00:15:44,414 --> 00:15:45,520
I did.

358
00:15:48,459 --> 00:15:50,324
You're one of us now.

359
00:15:53,162 --> 00:15:54,995

00:15:54,997 --> 00:15:56,297

d<i> dramatic music</i> d

362
00:15:58,534 --> 00:16:00,367
What was the nature of
your job at Axe Capital

363
00:16:00,369 --> 00:16:02,103
as you understood it?

364
00:16:02,105 --> 00:16:06,573
I was to be next to Axe
in every meeting,

365
00:16:06,575 --> 00:16:10,543
to be the firewall
against illicit dealings.

366
00:16:10,545 --> 00:16:13,313
I was a witness and to make sure

367
00:16:13,315 --> 00:16:15,548
things were being done above board.

368
00:16:15,550 --> 00:16:17,283
Tell me about Axe.

369
00:16:17,285 --> 00:16:20,453
He was unreadable.

370
00:16:20,455 --> 00:16:23,422
At three o'clock, he was writing checks

371
00:16:23,424 --> 00:16:25,991
to aid earthquake
victims in the Caribbean.

372
00:16:25,993 --> 00:16:28,093
At 3:45, he was cornering the market

373
00:16:28,095 --> 00:16:31,963
on Churchill first editions
just to stick it to an enemy.

374
00:16:31,965 --> 00:16:34,766
And then one day,
he just fragged my ass.

375
00:16:34,768 --> 00:16:36,735
I never really saw it coming.

376
00:16:37,476 --> 00:16:38,803
Did he give an explanation?

377
00:16:38,805 --> 00:16:42,940
No. I guess he just didn't
want a witness anymore.

378
00:16:42,942 --> 00:16:45,743
Referred to himself as a<i> Terminator.</i>

379
00:16:45,745 --> 00:16:47,011
What does that mean?

380
00:16:47,013 --> 00:16:49,647
A cybernetic organism,
programmed to kill.

381
00:16:49,649 --> 00:16:51,616
Living tissue over
robotic endoskeleton...

382
00:16:51,618 --> 00:16:53,217
I've seen the movie. I just meant...

383
00:16:53,219 --> 00:16:56,053
He has some sort of programmed mission,

384
00:16:56,055 --> 00:16:57,621
and I was standing in the way.

385
00:16:59,991 --> 00:17:02,659
The day before he fired me,
Bill Stearn approached

386
00:17:02,661 --> 00:17:05,162
with a play that was
clearly over the line,

387
00:17:05,164 --> 00:17:08,097
citing a source named Victor.

388
00:17:09,450 --> 00:17:09,899
Did he say the...

389
00:17:09,901 --> 00:17:12,935
They didn't talk about it...
because I was in the room.

390
00:17:12,937 --> 00:17:15,204
[exhales] But without me,
one or both of them

391
00:17:15,206 --> 00:17:17,773
would have circled back,
no doubt about it.

392
00:17:17,775 --> 00:17:19,408
Or else Axe would've filled my position.

393
00:17:19,410 --> 00:17:22,678
No. He wanted no impediments
to illegal activity,

394
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,146
and that's what he has now.

395
00:17:24,148 --> 00:17:28,651
Dollar Bill's tough. We have a history.
396
00:17:28,653 --> 00:17:30,085
Anyone else?

397
00:17:31,788 --> 00:17:33,988
Try Taylor Mason.

398
00:17:33,990 --> 00:17:38,326
They have become something
of a prodigy, a go-to.

399
00:17:38,328 --> 00:17:40,495
Anything big Axe is wading into,

400
00:17:40,497 --> 00:17:43,798
Taylor's there with a snorkel mask.

401
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,000

403
00:17:47,704 --> 00:17:50,337
I believe it's time,
nay, long past time,

404
00:17:50,339 --> 00:17:55,242
to transform your charitable arm
and engender a permanent foundation.

405
00:17:55,244 --> 00:17:57,177
Properly stewarded,
it will write the name

406
00:17:57,179 --> 00:17:59,846
of your benevolence on the ages,

407
00:17:59,848 --> 00:18:03,550
alongside Carnegie, Vanderbilt.
A creation of consequence.

408
00:18:03,552 --> 00:18:06,919
Because otherwise, what's it all for?
Is that right?
409
00:18:06,921 --> 00:18:08,354
I don't pretend to answer

410
00:18:08,356 --> 00:18:11,257
that which lies in the
realm of the theologians.

- Who'd you can?

- Oh.

758
00:40:53,017 --> 00:40:54,756
I didn't do it to be perceived as tough,

759
00:40:54,758 --> 00:40:57,125
but to make it clear that
if you survive today,

760
00:40:57,127 --> 00:40:58,927
you are now officially on the team

761
00:40:58,929 --> 00:41:00,759
and wouldn't have to keep
looking over your shoulder.

762
00:41:00,759 --> 00:41:02,423
Yeah, yeah. Someone still

763
00:41:02,423 --> 00:41:06,033
got a stake through the heart,
and I want to know who.

764
00:41:06,035 --> 00:41:07,802
I could have justified firing Rudy.

765
00:41:07,804 --> 00:41:09,370
He's still finding his footing.

766
00:41:09,372 --> 00:41:11,372
But he's scrappy and
deserves the chance.

767
00:41:11,374 --> 00:41:13,808
So I fired Pununzio instead.

768
00:41:13,810 --> 00:41:15,610
He's kind of a weasel.

769
00:41:15,612 --> 00:41:17,745
Good a reason as any.

770
00:41:17,747 --> 00:41:20,781
And now you're baptized by blood.

771
00:41:22,318 --> 00:41:23,784
I need a drink.

772
00:41:23,786 --> 00:41:25,756
Like a real drink?

773
00:41:25,791 --> 00:41:26,653
Yeah.

774
00:41:26,655 --> 00:41:29,990
Maybe like a whole
bottle of a real drink.

775
00:41:51,512 --> 00:41:53,913
You're not gonna be in
that clown car for long.

776
00:41:53,915 --> 00:41:55,882
I love it. It's a great car.
