1. Previously on Billions..Copy !req
2. You heard anything about a new casinoCopy !req
3. coming to upstate New York?Copy !req
4. Yeah. I heard whispers.Copy !req
5. Sandicot's downtown is
ripe for redevelopment.Copy !req
6. The whole county's on
the edge of default.Copy !req
7. You get to buy it cheap,
pennies on the dollar.Copy !req
8. Wendy was at Krakow
Capital earlier today.Copy !req
9. I need you back at Axe Capital.Copy !req
10. Well, that's not gonna happen.Copy !req
11. I'm here to ask a favor.Copy !req
12. Rhoades reached out to me.Copy !req
13. I'll be careful.Copy !req
14. We only get one shot at this.Copy !req
15. Express concerns about the bid rigging.Copy !req
16. Make it clear that you
know it's going on.Copy !req
17. Arendt is putting us all in danger.Copy !req
18. He's gonna send us all to prison.Copy !req
19. Mike's putting the band
back together again,Copy !req
20. just like I told him to.Copy !req
21. Lawrence Boyd, you're under arrest.Copy !req
22. I thought you understood
the goddamn game.Copy !req
23. I believe I do.Copy !req
24. We find everybody that he fucked
and we buy up their clamps.Copy !req
25. It'll be tantamount to
a class-action suit.Copy !req
26. You've been served.Copy !req
27. With a lawsuit?Copy !req
28. Hundred and twenty-seven of them.Copy !req
29. They expedited you right through.Copy !req
30. I'm not sure swift
justice is what I'm after,Copy !req
31. but I'm glad to be outside.Copy !req
32. If I didn't have the five
million for the bail,Copy !req
33. I would've had to stay the night.Copy !req
34. You'd have been fine.Copy !req
35. No, I wouldn't have.Copy !req
36. Get us the fuck out of here.Copy !req
37. Rhoades is gonna flip one of your guys.Copy !req
38. When this is over,
you'll be able to stand tallCopy !req
39. knowing that you did the
right thing by cooperating.Copy !req
40. He has. I got word.Copy !req
41. Where do I sign?Copy !req
42. What do I do?Copy !req
43. - Flip him back.
- How?Copy !req
44. I introduced you to a man
who can get that done.Copy !req
45. Hall stopped returning my calls.Copy !req
46. You wouldn't let him do what he wanted.Copy !req
47. Well, I fucking will now.
Anything he says.Copy !req
48. You goddamned better,Copy !req
49. because I need you to gut
this motherfucker RhoadesCopy !req
50. for both of us.Copy !req
51. I will.Copy !req
52. I'll get out here.Copy !req
53. When you get back to your
country house tonight,Copy !req
54. go out back and take a sauna.Copy !req
55. Get focused.Copy !req
56. That's an order.Copy !req
57. You know, I usually get a
full-on Woodrow Wilson goingCopy !req
58. when I'm billing a client for
hundreds of lawyer hours a week.Copy !req
59. But, every hour I spend with you,Copy !req
60. I'm aware little by little,
you're getting wiped out,Copy !req
61. and that's even though
I'm underbilling you.Copy !req
62. And then I sign the slips
for all the associatesCopy !req
63. putting in time on your cases,Copy !req
64. and I wind up feeling a little sick.Copy !req
65. Just keep doing what you're doing.Copy !req
66. I'll figure it out.Copy !req
67. How about the house?
It has to have occurred to you.Copy !req
68. Yeah.Copy !req
69. It would solve a lot of problems.Copy !req
70. Financially.Copy !req
71. Are you worried Wendy
wouldn't want to sell?Copy !req
72. No.Copy !req
73. I'm worried she wouldn't care.Copy !req
74. You're raising your children here.Copy !req
75. Trust me, it matters just as
much to her as it does to you.Copy !req
76. That doesn't mean she wouldn't see
the wisdom of putting it on the market.Copy !req
77. Right now,
things between us are so fragile,Copy !req
78. I'm afraid to pull even a single thread.Copy !req
79. Plus, if I floated selling the house,Copy !req
80. I'd have to tell her why,Copy !req
81. and I think it's best that she...Copy !req
82. doesn't know the full extent of things.Copy !req
83. How's couples therapy going?Copy !req
84. As excruciating as I remember it?Copy !req
85. Actually, I find that the best momentsCopy !req
86. often closely follow the worst ones.Copy !req
87. You know?Copy !req
88. Every now and then, for whatever reason,Copy !req
89. the heaviness just lifts,Copy !req
90. and...Copy !req
91. then we're just us again.Copy !req
92. I don't remember those
moments lasting very long.Copy !req
93. Like lightning.Copy !req
94. Y-Y-You're fighting for a lot right now,Copy !req
95. your job, your marriage.Copy !req
96. Maybe consider the concept
that everything has a life spanCopy !req
97. and it's not the worst thing
to let certain things change...Copy !req
98. or die off... when it's time.Copy !req
99. Fuck.Copy !req
100. I'm here solely at the
behest of our mutual friend.Copy !req
101. I know.Copy !req
102. He says that you've gained a
more comprehensive understandingCopy !req
103. of your position.Copy !req
104. I have.Copy !req
105. What happens now?Copy !req
106. Your accounts are frozen, of course,Copy !req
107. so go to your contingency funds.Copy !req
108. You'll need to access
2.5 million dollarsCopy !req
109. and funnel that amount
here by tomorrow morning.Copy !req
110. It's the first installmentCopy !req
111. to your former associate
Michael Arendt...Copy !req
112. so that he will cease cooperating.Copy !req
113. You need to form a holding company...Copy !req
114. I suggest on the Isle of Man...Copy !req
115. in order to make payments to his wifeCopy !req
116. in the sum of $2.5 million
dollars every quarter...Copy !req
117. I don't want to know the specifics.Copy !req
118. You need to carry the weight of it now.Copy !req
119. If any of these wire transfers
is even a minute late,Copy !req
120. he will be free to say whatever he wantsCopy !req
121. to whomever he wants.Copy !req
122. I understand.Copy !req
123. Is money enough?Copy !req
124. There's also this.Copy !req
125. Arendt's children?Copy !req
126. He will know that I will knowCopy !req
127. where they are every
day that he's in jail.Copy !req
128. You wouldn't actually hurt them?Copy !req
129. Imagine the kind of man
that could hurt a child,Copy !req
130. the psychic baggage
that would come alongCopy !req
131. with something like that.Copy !req
132. You'd never offload it.Copy !req
133. Not really.Copy !req
134. Make the payments.
I'll take care of the rest.Copy !req
135. Enjoy your sauna.Copy !req
136. Get in touch with Boyd's people.Copy !req
137. Let's get him in here.Copy !req
138. What do you think we can ask for?Copy !req
139. The maximum, what is it, ten years?Copy !req
140. Let's offer five.Copy !req
141. Lowest I'll go is 18 months.Copy !req
142. Jail time?Copy !req
143. He's not even gonna negotiate
if that's on the table.Copy !req
144. So be it.Copy !req
145. You want to risk putting
this in front of a jury?Copy !req
146. I want the world to know that I can beCopy !req
147. a stubborn motherfucker if I need to be.Copy !req
148. We're talking about
bid-rigging Treasury auctions.Copy !req
149. What kind of a jury isn't
gonna slip into a comaCopy !req
150. while we try to explain to them
what the fuck that even means?Copy !req
151. It's your job to figure out
how to keep them entertained.Copy !req
152. This is a case that
could make your career.Copy !req
153. Or end it.Copy !req
154. I can't wait to see Boyd's face.Copy !req
155. That's right.Copy !req
156. We don't rate an appearance by Mr. Boyd?Copy !req
157. Mr. Boyd is confident his
presence isn't required.Copy !req
158. I've been instructed by
my client to tell youCopy !req
159. that Spartan-Ives is
willing to pay a small fine,Copy !req
160. but that there will be
no admission of guiltCopy !req
161. by Mr. Boyd personally and,
of course, no termination.Copy !req
162. We have an authenticated audio recordingCopy !req
163. of your client incriminating himself,Copy !req
164. and a corroborating witness.Copy !req
165. You can tell your client
that his disrespectCopy !req
166. of the Southern District has been noted.Copy !req
167. There's a deal on the table.Copy !req
168. We pass.Copy !req
169. Hang tight.Copy !req
170. Hey.Copy !req
171. Hey.Copy !req
172. What was that?Copy !req
173. We've lost Arendt.Copy !req
174. What do you mean, he's...Copy !req
175. Fuck!Copy !req
176. Boyd obviously feels safe.Copy !req
177. Somebody got to our witness.Copy !req
178. So all we have is a shitty recording?Copy !req
179. - That's our case?
- No.Copy !req
180. We have a guilty defendant.Copy !req
181. Don't forget about that part.Copy !req
182. You wanted a jury trial.Copy !req
183. You've definitely got it.Copy !req
184. I was renovating anyway,Copy !req
185. so I said, "Well,
why not dry-age my own?"Copy !req
186. All that meat!Copy !req
187. Don't you be shy.Copy !req
188. You choose whatever you want,Copy !req
189. and I'll have Valerie
throw it on the grill.Copy !req
190. We have the Wagyus, Tomahawk ribeye,Copy !req
191. Fullblood Tenderloin...
all grass-fed, of course.Copy !req
192. Ooh. A5 Kobe Strip.Copy !req
193. That is a nice one.Copy !req
194. That's aging well.Copy !req
195. So, listen, we have a timing issue.Copy !req
196. How bad?Copy !req
197. We cut deals with all the
property owners to vacate,Copy !req
198. but...Copy !req
199. Some are backing out?Copy !req
200. A guy named Hank Flagg.Copy !req
201. Spoke to my lawyers last night.Copy !req
202. I don't think he's some crank.Copy !req
203. He's made it clear he's
holding out for a better deal.Copy !req
204. Does he know it's a casino?Copy !req
205. I made all the offers through an LLC.Copy !req
206. No one knows I'm involved.Copy !req
207. Can we work around him?Copy !req
208. Well, he's got 200 acres of shit,
but it's key.Copy !req
209. It's where we need to build
the access road to the interstate.Copy !req
210. Well, what was your offer?Copy !req
211. One-point-five.Copy !req
212. For 200 acres in the middle
of the fucking sticks?Copy !req
213. Yeah, you wanted to get it done.Copy !req
214. I did.Copy !req
215. We'll bring in a government agency,Copy !req
216. a community-reinvestment
development authority.Copy !req
217. They will basically
force him from the land.Copy !req
218. That'll turn into the
litigation from hell.Copy !req
219. Special-interest groups'll pile on,
environmentalistas.Copy !req
220. That flame'll burn quick,Copy !req
221. and then I'll bleed the guy out.Copy !req
222. He'll take my price.Copy !req
223. They always do.Copy !req
224. Two years at the outside.Copy !req
225. Look, I'd be willing to pop up there,Copy !req
226. see what I can...Copy !req
227. Have at it. Maybe you'll turn him.Copy !req
228. I'm gonna go check on the grill.Copy !req
229. Take your time.Copy !req
230. Two years?Copy !req
231. What's that gonna cost us?Copy !req
232. Our kidneys.Copy !req
233. Flagg got his price. He backed out.Copy !req
234. The guy knows something's up.Copy !req
235. What are you gonna have?Copy !req
236. I don't give a shit. You decide.Copy !req
237. Hello?Copy !req
238. Hello. In here.Copy !req
239. Hey.Copy !req
240. Isn't this my night?Copy !req
241. I'm just stopping by.Copy !req
242. Our son told me...Copy !req
243. what you said to him
about the separation.Copy !req
244. Well, what did he tell you?Copy !req
245. That you took responsibility for itCopy !req
246. and... that you stood up for me.Copy !req
247. That means a lot, um... to the kids.Copy !req
248. You're showing them we're not polarized,Copy !req
249. we're not at war.Copy !req
250. I think it helps stabilize them.Copy !req
251. And it means a lot to me, too.Copy !req
252. Good.Copy !req
253. How ya doing?Copy !req
254. Very well. Quite well.Copy !req
255. You sure?Copy !req
256. Busy, but, otherwise,
I'm crackerjack.Copy !req
257. And I'm about to bust open a
bottle of rosé to prove it.Copy !req
258. Care to join me?Copy !req
259. The Wolffer?Copy !req
260. Yeah. Last bottle.Copy !req
261. Sure.Copy !req
262. And what makes you think you're
gonna get the kids to eat kale?Copy !req
263. That would be the kale
chips I plan to serve.Copy !req
264. They're practically Pringles.Copy !req
265. Sneaky!Copy !req
266. I love it. I wonder
if I should try to make that.Copy !req
267. That is for the entre...Copy !req
268. salmon with ginger and sage.Copy !req
269. Who are you?Copy !req
270. Look, I'm sure
that I can stretch the salmonCopy !req
271. to serve four if you'd like to join us.Copy !req
272. Eva would be thrilled to
have a smaller portion.Copy !req
273. Okay.Copy !req
274. Shit.Copy !req
275. Excuse me.Copy !req
276. Everything okay?Copy !req
277. Ira?Copy !req
278. Yeah.Copy !req
279. Knock, knock.Copy !req
280. Yes, who's there?Copy !req
281. Alligator.Copy !req
282. Alligator who?Copy !req
283. Alligator the shark.
He has a beard growing.Copy !req
284. What?Copy !req
285. That made absolutely no sense.Copy !req
286. That was amazing.Copy !req
287. May I please be excused?Copy !req
288. - Me too.
- Yes.Copy !req
289. Clear your plates, and then, yeah.Copy !req
290. I'll be up to say good
night before I go.Copy !req
291. Well, that was interesting.Copy !req
292. Yeah.Copy !req
293. I thought Kevin's nonchalance
was very impressive.Copy !req
294. Not Eva's, though.Copy !req
295. Unh-unh.Copy !req
296. No.Copy !req
297. Her eyes were like saucers.Copy !req
298. Parsing every word, every gesture.Copy !req
299. I mean, they both were.Copy !req
300. Two analytic little minds
searching for meaning.Copy !req
301. I wonder where they got that from.Copy !req
302. We're lucky.Copy !req
303. I think they each got
the best of both of us.Copy !req
304. Nothing can ever take that away.Copy !req
305. I can finish up here.Copy !req
306. - You sure?
- Yeah. Absolutely.Copy !req
307. You go have a wonderful night.Copy !req
308. I'm glad I stayed.Copy !req
309. Thank you for asking me.Copy !req
310. Yeah.Copy !req
311. It was... nice.Copy !req
312. I have to take this.Copy !req
313. Good night, Wendy.Copy !req
314. Good night.Copy !req
315. Ira? Yeah.Copy !req
316. No, I can talk.Copy !req
317. Hey.Copy !req
318. Hi.Copy !req
319. Come in.Copy !req
320. I appreciate this.Copy !req
321. - Can I get you anything?
- No, thank you.Copy !req
322. Taiga, this is Wendy. Wendy, Taiga.Copy !req
323. - Hello.
- Hey.Copy !req
324. I like your bag.Copy !req
325. Thank you.Copy !req
326. I'm gonna be in here, okay, babe?Copy !req
327. Sure.Copy !req
328. You'd like her.Copy !req
329. She's an interesting girl,
very accomplished.Copy !req
330. I'm sure it's quite a skill set.Copy !req
331. I know it's a little strange,
my coming here.Copy !req
332. These are strange times.Copy !req
333. How worried should I be about Chuck?Copy !req
334. Well, you, of all people, should know,Copy !req
335. I can't really answer that.Copy !req
336. I do understand.Copy !req
337. And I know you're his lawyer,
but you're also his friend.Copy !req
338. If Chuck's in crisis,Copy !req
339. then hiding it because of some code,Copy !req
340. that doesn't help anybody.Copy !req
341. It has nothing to do with a code.Copy !req
342. It's true he is in crisis.Copy !req
343. He's getting crushed, actually.Copy !req
344. I wish he'd tell me.Copy !req
345. He doesn't want to risk
freighting the relationship.Copy !req
346. He's afraid it'll
collapse under the stress.Copy !req
347. He's showing superhuman restraint,
if you ask me.Copy !req
348. I wish I'd had one-tenth of thatCopy !req
349. when Elizabeth and I were splitting up.Copy !req
350. The irony is,Copy !req
351. he's probably never needed you
as much as he does right now.Copy !req
352. Jesus.Copy !req
353. Ira, how bad is it?Copy !req
354. Is it something he'll get through?Copy !req
355. Honestly... I don't know.Copy !req
356. I've seen him in the
line of fire before,Copy !req
357. but this... this... this is a siege.Copy !req
358. And I will say this,Copy !req
359. the Axelrod civil suits are
a big fucking part of it.Copy !req
360. What do you mean?Copy !req
361. He said they couldn't hurt
him while he was in office.Copy !req
362. He was padding it.Copy !req
363. All right, look, you can't know this,Copy !req
364. but it didn't go away when
we moved for dismissal.Copy !req
365. He's gonna be deposed next week.Copy !req
366. He could be on the hook
for a lot of damage...Copy !req
367. to his reputation,Copy !req
368. not to mention his bank account...Copy !req
369. Your bank account.Copy !req
370. Between the investigation
and these lawsuitsCopy !req
371. and you...Copy !req
372. I can't figure out how
he's still standing.Copy !req
373. Unusual choice.Copy !req
374. Eva has a lesson.Copy !req
375. Plus, neutral territory.
You've got all the tricks.Copy !req
376. Nope. No tricks.Copy !req
377. This will be as direct a conversation
as I know how to have.Copy !req
378. So you came to throw bombs?Copy !req
379. Good.Copy !req
380. I'm reconsidering your offer.Copy !req
381. You're late. I hired someone.Copy !req
382. If he were getting it done,
you wouldn't be here.Copy !req
383. So, what changed your mind? Seeing Wags?Copy !req
384. My mind's not all the way changed.Copy !req
385. But seeing him did have a hand in it.Copy !req
386. It's gonna take some doing to
get rid of that ass tattoo.Copy !req
387. I have terms...Copy !req
388. A dozen laser sessions, at least.Copy !req
389. And one of them is,
I don't talk about my clients.Copy !req
390. What happens in my office is sacrosanct.Copy !req
391. I don't talk about my
sessions with you or anyone.Copy !req
392. Not even your husband?Copy !req
393. And I keep my files on
an air-gapped computerCopy !req
394. that no one touches.Copy !req
395. Reasonable.Copy !req
396. Anything else?Copy !req
397. 20% increase in salary and
2% stake in the company.Copy !req
398. Kaboom! There it is.Copy !req
399. Look at the balls on you.Copy !req
400. Yes on the comp, no on the stake.Copy !req
401. No one owns any of it but me.Copy !req
402. But a profit share and
payout equal to one percentCopy !req
403. in the case of a sale.Copy !req
404. You were dug in the last time I saw you.Copy !req
405. Still pretty angry.Copy !req
406. Yes, I was.Copy !req
407. So, what changed?Copy !req
408. When you came to my office,Copy !req
409. I asked you to back off, and you did.Copy !req
410. I drew a boundary, and you respected it.Copy !req
411. So you're ready to trust me again?Copy !req
412. It's a start.Copy !req
413. Okay.Copy !req
414. So, are we done?Copy !req
415. There's one more thing I need.Copy !req
416. Let's hear it.Copy !req
417. You have to drop the civil
suits against my husband.Copy !req
418. Wow. That is quite an ask, Mrs. Rhoades.Copy !req
419. I admire your audacity,Copy !req
420. but that is not something
I think I can accede to.Copy !req
421. Then our relationship stays nonexistent.Copy !req
422. It's not negotiable.Copy !req
423. Your husband hurt my company.Copy !req
424. He hurt me.Copy !req
425. Okay.Copy !req
426. I'll drop the suits.Copy !req
427. Thank you.Copy !req
428. I'll have my lawyers give
you an official letterCopy !req
429. guaranteeing it,Copy !req
430. with dates certain and
penalties attached.Copy !req
431. Good.Copy !req
432. Okay. I'll see you
in the office tomorrow.Copy !req
433. Motherfucker.Copy !req
434. That's why you filed those
suits in the first place,Copy !req
435. so I'd cave and come
to you with this deal.Copy !req
436. Well, not to restart our
partnership with a lie...Copy !req
437. it's not the only reason.Copy !req
438. But yes, that was a scenario
that I had gamed out.Copy !req
439. Our deal hold?Copy !req
440. Yes.Copy !req
441. But not for you.Copy !req
442. You want a session, see someone else.Copy !req
443. My office is off-limits.Copy !req
444. Fine.Copy !req
445. Hey.Copy !req
446. Have Chef Ryan give the
kids dinner tonight.Copy !req
447. I'm taking you out.Copy !req
448. Yeah.Copy !req
449. And I'll see you at the pad.
We're taking the chopper.Copy !req
450. You said you have something interesting?Copy !req
451. Could be.Copy !req
452. Axelrod's people were making
a lot of trips upstate,Copy !req
453. always to the same town,
a place called Sandicot.Copy !req
454. And?Copy !req
455. And it's a pattern.Copy !req
456. But what's in the town?Copy !req
457. Nothing. It's a dirt spot.Copy !req
458. I mean, why are they going?Copy !req
459. You asked me to track their movements,Copy !req
460. not to synthesize the meaningCopy !req
461. of each contact they
have or place they visit.Copy !req
462. From Chef.Copy !req
463. This is a 1975 Château d'Yquem.Copy !req
464. Tell Chef thank you.Copy !req
465. Absolutely.Copy !req
466. We need to get past this stalemate.Copy !req
467. I agree.Copy !req
468. You have to believe that
I need you as a partner.Copy !req
469. I need your counsel, your perspective.Copy !req
470. I trust no one more than you.Copy !req
471. And right now,Copy !req
472. I need your take on something.Copy !req
473. Okay.Copy !req
474. So, you know we had
a bit of a rough quarter.Copy !req
475. Everyone was a little rocked by it.Copy !req
476. You can feel that they're having troubleCopy !req
477. buoying themselves.Copy !req
478. And... so...Copy !req
479. I was thinking of bringing...Copy !req
480. bringing Wendy Rhoades back.Copy !req
481. Are you fucking kidding me?Copy !req
482. I thought this was
about you apologizing.Copy !req
483. - Now this?
- I know. I know.Copy !req
484. But the guys have made it clear,Copy !req
485. through their results and their words,Copy !req
486. that they need her.Copy !req
487. I thought you had a new man.Copy !req
488. Wags convinced me to try him out,Copy !req
489. but Wags was pretty
fucked up at the time.Copy !req
490. You're not thinking about
bringing Wendy back.Copy !req
491. It's a done deal, isn't it?Copy !req
492. You're actually lying to me now.Copy !req
493. I'd like your blessing.Copy !req
494. Take it.Copy !req
495. Bobby, take the fucking call.Copy !req
496. I'll be right back.Copy !req
497. I love you.Copy !req
498. Would you like to hear
about the desserts?Copy !req
499. We'll take the check.Copy !req
500. Of course.Copy !req
501. Tell me.Copy !req
502. Flagg has 200 acres of scrub.Copy !req
503. If he's holding out for another offer,Copy !req
504. he doesn't have a lot of leverage.Copy !req
505. On the other hand,
he owns a small trucking company,Copy !req
506. so he's not hurting for cash.Copy !req
507. So he's someone we can reason with,Copy !req
508. not some crackpot who's gonna lie downCopy !req
509. in front of the bulldozers.Copy !req
510. Correct.Copy !req
511. I need to wrap this guy up
right fucking now.Copy !req
512. Word spreads there's a holdout,Copy !req
513. we'll have nine other property
owners going rogue on us.Copy !req
514. Fuck me.Copy !req
515. I didn't sleep at all.Copy !req
516. This fighting... isn't us.Copy !req
517. I'm going into the office early,Copy !req
518. then I'm gonna head
upstate for a few hours.Copy !req
519. When I get home tonight,
I want to talk this through.Copy !req
520. I want to work it out.Copy !req
521. Okay?Copy !req
522. Hal.Copy !req
523. Hey.Copy !req
524. Hey, I missed you at the Whiffs reunion.Copy !req
525. I wish I'd had the time.Copy !req
526. Can you spare a minute?Copy !req
527. Yeah.Copy !req
528. I have been hearing rumblings
about a little town upstate,Copy !req
529. and I wondered what you
could confirm for me.Copy !req
530. You know my ear's always to the rail.Copy !req
531. What do you know about Sandicot?Copy !req
532. The gaming license?Copy !req
533. That's what I heard.Copy !req
534. If you're looking to buy,
you have to do it quickly.Copy !req
535. They're announcing soon,
and there's sure to be a bounce.Copy !req
536. You'll keep this between us?Copy !req
537. What a question.Copy !req
538. Good man.Copy !req
539. Black Jack Foley.Copy !req
540. There are those
who still call me that, yes.Copy !req
541. How are you, Charles?Copy !req
542. I'll be betterCopy !req
543. if you help me out with
a little something.Copy !req
544. Is it within my purview?Copy !req
545. What in this state isn't?Copy !req
546. Not much.Copy !req
547. Certainly not the proposed
location of a casino.Copy !req
548. You must be talking about Sandicot.Copy !req
549. I am.Copy !req
550. And I'm asking,
does it have to go there?Copy !req
551. Nothing has to go anywhere.Copy !req
552. I need you
to write her a contract.Copy !req
553. That'll be the only one at the firm.Copy !req
554. It's necessary... protection all around.Copy !req
555. She gets a big salary bump,
I lock her in.Copy !req
556. There's no way her husband
can make a move on you now.Copy !req
557. Especially since they're estranged,Copy !req
558. the conflict of interest is irrefutable.Copy !req
559. And reach out to Oliver Dake.Copy !req
560. Tell him we won't be testifying
that the $5 million was a bribe.Copy !req
561. Might be handy to keep
that in our back pocket,Copy !req
562. just in case.Copy !req
563. I'm not interested in
putting Wendy in jail.Copy !req
564. Also, we're gonna drop the
suits against her husband.Copy !req
565. So it is dtente.Copy !req
566. What do you think of the new lobby?Copy !req
567. I think it's paranoid.Copy !req
568. Much higher level of security.Copy !req
569. Hired new compliance people, too.Copy !req
570. What's next, a microchip implant?Copy !req
571. You can just wear this.Copy !req
572. Did your lawyer look through his papers?Copy !req
573. He said it's fine. Do you have a pen?Copy !req
574. - Here you go.
- Thank you.Copy !req
575. Will you excuse us?Copy !req
576. That's not necessary.Copy !req
577. No, it'll only take a minute.Copy !req
578. Orrin.Copy !req
579. Call off the dogs.Copy !req
580. We're gonna drop the lawsuits
against Mr. Chuck Rhoades...Copy !req
581. all of them.Copy !req
582. In stages, as we discussed,
so we don't create a news story.Copy !req
583. Is the show over?Copy !req
584. I'm earning back your trust.Copy !req
585. Grand gestures aren't necessary.Copy !req
586. When it comes to you, Bobby,Copy !req
587. it's the small kindnesses I prefer.Copy !req
588. We're doing this now.Copy !req
589. Um, I'm due in a deposition...Copy !req
590. Then name the time. But today.Copy !req
591. No more bogus excuses,Copy !req
592. because I am done with this game.Copy !req
593. Well, I'm gonna have to...Copy !req
594. 2:00 p.m.Copy !req
595. If you don't show,
you can expect a suspension,Copy !req
596. if not outright firing.Copy !req
597. I'm on my way out.Copy !req
598. Jury selection.Copy !req
599. So...Copy !req
600. Well, I'll make this quick.Copy !req
601. I was just thinking about something
that Harry Houdini once said.Copy !req
602. "An old trick well done is far betterCopy !req
603. than a new trick with no effect."Copy !req
604. Houdini have any other advice...Copy !req
605. like, how to get out of a
straitjacket underwater?Copy !req
606. I'm gonna look for a way out in there.Copy !req
607. And when this is over,Copy !req
608. we need to have a talk
about my future here.Copy !req
609. You know why I hired you?Copy !req
610. I used to.Copy !req
611. For your fury.Copy !req
612. A lot of people around here...
Sacker, me...Copy !req
613. we were born with a place at the table.Copy !req
614. But you came to this jobCopy !req
615. knowing what it means to be an outsider,Copy !req
616. and with the desperate fury of one.Copy !req
617. But you are still
letting that fury use youCopy !req
618. instead of you using it.Copy !req
619. Right now, it's directed at me,Copy !req
620. which doesn't serve you at all.Copy !req
621. But refocused, channeled,
it'll become a weapon...Copy !req
622. instead of a liability.Copy !req
623. Come on.Copy !req
624. My number's up.Copy !req
625. I'm supposed to see Dake at two o'clock.Copy !req
626. Sorry.Copy !req
627. No.Copy !req
628. You have been loyal.Copy !req
629. You have gone above and
beyond trying to protect me.Copy !req
630. You should cooperate.Copy !req
631. Do what's right.Copy !req
632. You owe it to your family.Copy !req
633. What are you gonna do?Copy !req
634. Wait.Copy !req
635. Impressive collection.Copy !req
636. Bobby Axelrod.Copy !req
637. Hank Flagg.Copy !req
638. You ride with a club?Copy !req
639. To my mind, if you want to be an outlaw,Copy !req
640. you don't join a club
with a fucking logo.Copy !req
641. So, you run a hedge fund?Copy !req
642. That's right.Copy !req
643. We do have a logo.Copy !req
644. So, what's your interest in my property?Copy !req
645. I have a stake in the project
they want to use it for.Copy !req
646. And I thought you might be
tired of talking to lawyers.Copy !req
647. Jesus. Is that an Indian Four?Copy !req
648. Yeah.Copy !req
649. I'm restoring the foot clutch on it.Copy !req
650. Yeah, suicide clutch.Copy !req
651. That mid-1930s?Copy !req
652. That's a good guess. It's '30.Copy !req
653. Four cylinders.Copy !req
654. God, back in the day,Copy !req
655. this machine was the epitome of power.Copy !req
656. You had to be rich enough to afford itCopy !req
657. and strong enough to handle it.Copy !req
658. Let's go in the house.
We can talk there.Copy !req
659. You got to know one-point-five
is a great price for this property.Copy !req
660. One-point-five is bullshit now.Copy !req
661. Well, what do you imagine...Copy !req
662. It's got to be a casino.
That's how I have it figured.Copy !req
663. Come on.Copy !req
664. You drive all the way up
here to tell me I'm wrong?Copy !req
665. No. You came up here to
try to get me to deal.Copy !req
666. Look, I respect you
wanting to hold firm.Copy !req
667. I admire the fortitude.Copy !req
668. But your problem is,Copy !req
669. my friend's not going any higher.Copy !req
670. He's just gonna bleed you out.Copy !req
671. Or I'll bleed him out.Copy !req
672. I'm in no rush.Copy !req
673. Well, then, he's just gonna
bring in a government agency.Copy !req
674. They won't give a shit.Copy !req
675. They'll tell you the casino's
for the good of the community,Copy !req
676. and then they'll throw
you off your own land.Copy !req
677. Maybe they'll throw in a
couple of hundred thousandCopy !req
678. for your trouble.Copy !req
679. It'll be fucking Ruby Ridge
up here before that happens.Copy !req
680. My guy's handing you a golden ticket.Copy !req
681. You should take it and run.Copy !req
682. Okay.Copy !req
683. I'll sweeten it a little.Copy !req
684. I'll make it an even two mil.Copy !req
685. Let me give you a little context.Copy !req
686. My girlfriend's in real estate.Copy !req
687. One day, she notices a spike
in interest in Sandicot,Copy !req
688. which is, you know, curious,
to say the fucking least.Copy !req
689. Then, the same week,
a friend of mine noticesCopy !req
690. a couple guys eating
burgers at Murdock's...Copy !req
691. haircuts wearing expensive sneakers.Copy !req
692. So I go down to Town
Hall to see what's what,Copy !req
693. and I find out that you
bought the town's debtCopy !req
694. for pennies on the dollar.Copy !req
695. It's all public information.Copy !req
696. I know what you stand to make.Copy !req
697. And I also know what you stand to loseCopy !req
698. if the town defaults on the bonds.Copy !req
699. You can't afford to wait.Copy !req
700. You need that casino open
and ready for businessCopy !req
701. as soon as goddamned possible.Copy !req
702. I wish my guys had your
fucking initiative.Copy !req
703. I'll double the offer.Copy !req
704. Seven.Copy !req
705. Yeah, I think I'd be happy at seven.Copy !req
706. Nobody leaves a negotiation happy.Copy !req
707. Five.Copy !req
708. And for that, you throw in
the fucking Indian Four.Copy !req
709. And would you be able
to decide on the facts,Copy !req
710. regardless of your personal beliefs?Copy !req
711. Yes. Of course.Copy !req
712. Thank you.Copy !req
713. Potential juror number two...Copy !req
714. Actually, Your Honor,Copy !req
715. I have a couple of
supplemental questions.Copy !req
716. Okay.Copy !req
717. But let's keep it moving.Copy !req
718. Understood.Copy !req
719. Do you have any idea how
much wealth in this countryCopy !req
720. is controlled by the top 20 percent?Copy !req
721. A shit ton.Copy !req
722. Your Honor.Copy !req
723. Sorry.Copy !req
724. Almost all of it.Copy !req
725. I'd like to challenge
the juror for cause.Copy !req
726. Do your personal beliefs
about who has all the wealthCopy !req
727. affect your ability to apply the law?Copy !req
728. Not at all.Copy !req
729. I understand my duty as an American.Copy !req
730. All Americans,
regardless of wealth, can be fair.Copy !req
731. Challenge for cause denied.Copy !req
732. We'll use a peremptory challenge.Copy !req
733. Thank you, juror. You're excused.Copy !req
734. You just lost your paradigm juror.Copy !req
735. That's got to hurt.Copy !req
736. You said you worked underground,Copy !req
737. building the Second Avenue Subway.Copy !req
738. You're a sandhog.Copy !req
739. And proud of it.Copy !req
740. So was my grandfather.Copy !req
741. Lincoln Tunnel, back in '34.Copy !req
742. He said he never earned a bonus.Copy !req
743. Has that changed over the years?Copy !req
744. No. No. Never gotten a bonus.Copy !req
745. Do you think you'd be
able to decide this caseCopy !req
746. in a fair and impartial mannerCopy !req
747. if you knew that the average
Spartan-Ives bonus last yearCopy !req
748. was over 366,000 dollars?Copy !req
749. Holy shit.Copy !req
750. Again, this is a hypothetical, but...Copy !req
751. He's torqueing up this juryCopy !req
752. like a fluffer on a porn set.Copy !req
753. They're inflamed for the moment.
They'll calm down.Copy !req
754. What if you knew Mr.
Boyd's personal bonusCopy !req
755. was more than 50 times that?Copy !req
756. That wouldn't affect your ability
to be impartial, would it?Copy !req
757. I would be impartial.Copy !req
758. Always trust a sandhog.Copy !req
759. You have a confusing resume.Copy !req
760. What's with the, fox-trotCopy !req
761. from Southern District
to Eastern and back?Copy !req
762. Nothing. It happens.Copy !req
763. It never occurred to you that RhoadesCopy !req
764. was moving you around
to serve his purposesCopy !req
765. whenever he found himself
holding a Yarborough?Copy !req
766. I don't play bridge.Copy !req
767. You're excused, juror 32.Copy !req
768. How many challenges do they have left?Copy !req
769. That's tap city.Copy !req
770. If that's your view of bankers,Copy !req
771. then you could probably
recognize when a-a witnessCopy !req
772. has a personal hatred for the defendantCopy !req
773. and accord him the
impartiality he deserves?Copy !req
774. Sure I could.Copy !req
775. I assume everyone hates
this man from first sight.Copy !req
776. It's not gonna color my opinion.Copy !req
777. These jurors are gonna
do me like Louis XVI.Copy !req
778. Let me work.Copy !req
779. What I want you to do...
is start fucking dealing.Copy !req
780. Bryan, can we talk?Copy !req
781. You really don't need to do this.Copy !req
782. Their best witness is Tom McKinnon.Copy !req
783. We'll paint him as a
cuckold with an agenda.Copy !req
784. There's a very good chance we can win.Copy !req
785. Define "win."Copy !req
786. Define "very good."Copy !req
787. Summer I was 18,Copy !req
788. I worked in menswear at
Gimbels department store.Copy !req
789. It doesn't exist anymore.Copy !req
790. I wore a suit to work.Copy !req
791. And I wore three suits home
underneath it on my last day...Copy !req
792. sold them on the side
to pay for college.Copy !req
793. The risk was worth the
reward back then because...Copy !req
794. I had nothing to lose.Copy !req
795. I'm not that kid anymore.Copy !req
796. I'm facing ten years in federal prison.Copy !req
797. That's a risk I cannot tolerate.Copy !req
798. Larry.Copy !req
799. Hear you had a rough one.Copy !req
800. I'm at the table, Chuck.
Don't be a son of a bitch.Copy !req
801. We're ready to settle.Copy !req
802. Admission of guilt,
five years' probation,Copy !req
803. and a 60 million dollar fine.Copy !req
804. A very nice offer.Copy !req
805. It's funny.Copy !req
806. Something about a settlement
doesn't sit right with me.Copy !req
807. Bid-rigging the U.S. Treasury market,Copy !req
808. that, to me, is a crime
that... so profoundlyCopy !req
809. violates public trust
in our financial systemCopy !req
810. that it really seems only
right to continue the trialCopy !req
811. and let the people decide.Copy !req
812. No deal.Copy !req
813. Are you fucking kidding me?Copy !req
814. Is he kidding?Copy !req
815. What a motherfucker!Copy !req
816. That's what you're claiming?Copy !req
817. You know I can have you
disbarred for lying.Copy !req
818. The attorney general is on the phone.Copy !req
819. General.Copy !req
820. Chuck.Copy !req
821. I hear you have confounded
Boyd and his team.Copy !req
822. Congratulations.Copy !req
823. This call means the world to me.Copy !req
824. Thank you, ma'am.Copy !req
825. Yes.Copy !req
826. You have made it clearCopy !req
827. that there will be no special treatment,
haven't you?Copy !req
828. Thought that made sense, considering.Copy !req
829. Now they're seeking settlement.Copy !req
830. But I look forward to a trial...Copy !req
831. A hard-hitting trial.Copy !req
832. I would never meddle.
I need you to know that.Copy !req
833. I would never ask you to accept a pleaCopy !req
834. unless you, too, felt that pleaCopy !req
835. was in the best interest of justice.Copy !req
836. I appreciate that.Copy !req
837. We are, as always,
interested in the same thing.Copy !req
838. And I want you to knowCopy !req
839. that I would never
refuse to accept a pleaCopy !req
840. if, suddenly, I saw
that to do so would be more fair.Copy !req
841. And that the idea of youCopy !req
842. never meddling...Copy !req
843. extended to me and the entire scope
of my affairs in the Southern District.Copy !req
844. You have your open field.Copy !req
845. Make the deal.Copy !req
846. And so, now,
as the great Bruce Buffer says,Copy !req
847. "It's time."Copy !req
848. Do you believe
U.S. Attorney RhoadesCopy !req
849. remained involved in the Axelrod caseCopy !req
850. even after he'd recused himself?Copy !req
851. Yes.Copy !req
852. Yes. Of course.Copy !req
853. How did you know?Copy !req
854. Specifics.Copy !req
855. He came to me with informationCopy !req
856. that made it clear he
was still involved.Copy !req
857. He made it clear that I was to tryCopy !req
858. to get the same information...Copy !req
859. but to do so in a way that...Copy !req
860. Yes, General.Copy !req
861. Um...Copy !req
862. But...Copy !req
863. I-I understand. Yes. Yes, ma'am.Copy !req
864. But I'm... But I'm just now
coming into possessionCopy !req
865. of material information,Copy !req
866. a-and if I could
have just a few more...Copy !req
867. No. No.Copy !req
868. Um, of course.Copy !req
869. As you wish.Copy !req
870. You can go.Copy !req
871. What?Copy !req
872. We're done here.Copy !req
873. Yeah?Copy !req
874. It's over.Copy !req
875. Boyd puked himself.Copy !req
876. He's taking a guilty plea.Copy !req
877. Fuck.Copy !req
878. Surrendered like a
French fucking soldier.Copy !req
879. Rhoades knew his man.Copy !req
880. As, as I'm sure you know,Copy !req
881. the attorney general has
suspended my investigationCopy !req
882. and ordered me back to Washington.Copy !req
883. Well, I hope you've enjoyed your stay.Copy !req
884. Well...Copy !req
885. Do you know what I... what I like mostCopy !req
886. about my job, Mr. Rhoades?Copy !req
887. The sartorial flair?Copy !req
888. I took an oath.Copy !req
889. The same oath sworn by you, in fact,Copy !req
890. to the people of the United States.Copy !req
891. And when I see that someoneCopy !req
892. is putting his own
interests above that oath,Copy !req
893. there is nothing I like
better than making sureCopy !req
894. they never get another job
in the legal professionCopy !req
895. f-for the rest of their lives.Copy !req
896. Know this.Copy !req
897. I had you... in the cross hairs.Copy !req
898. But today, you're the man who
brought down Lawrence Boyd.Copy !req
899. You're... Elvis.Copy !req
900. So... today...Copy !req
901. you are safe.Copy !req
902. But...Copy !req
903. don't get fucking comfortable.Copy !req
904. What happened upstate?Copy !req
905. I bought Flagg's property for five,Copy !req
906. which I've leased to ThayerCopy !req
907. for $750K a year on a ten-year lease.Copy !req
908. Wyatt, we are rolling.Copy !req
909. You pulled this
out of the fucking fire, boss.Copy !req
910. An actual, unmitigated win.Copy !req
911. The yield on this bad boyCopy !req
912. is gonna keep Mama in
new shoes for years.Copy !req
913. Bring on the bulldozers.Copy !req
914. Yeah?Copy !req
915. Congratulations.Copy !req
916. Victory torn from the jaws.Copy !req
917. Sometimes, you play the goban.Copy !req
918. Sometimes, you look across the boardCopy !req
919. and you see a total lack of kiai.Copy !req
920. I know none of those words.Copy !req
921. But I feel like you're calling
Lawrence Boyd a butter boy.Copy !req
922. A guilty man took a guilty plea.Copy !req
923. Closer than ever
to your goal, Bryan.Copy !req
924. Which one?Copy !req
925. That's what you should spend
the next few weeks figuring out.Copy !req
926. See you next week.Copy !req

928. Hey.Copy !req
929. Hey.Copy !req
930. I heard about Boyd.Copy !req
931. I know, brutal.Copy !req
932. But forget that. This is more important.Copy !req
933. I-I'm sorry.Copy !req
934. I should have told you about WendyCopy !req
935. before I even spoke to her.Copy !req
936. You think this is about her?Copy !req
937. Bobby, you act
like we're in this together.Copy !req
938. You make command decisions,
sometimes life-changing,Copy !req
939. and you don't even run them by me first.Copy !req
940. Do you remember the boat?
The Galápagos?Copy !req
941. You make plans, you put them in motion,Copy !req
942. and then you inform me after the fact.Copy !req
943. That is not the marriage
that I signed up for,Copy !req
944. and that is not one that I
will accept going forward.Copy !req
945. I've risked alienating
my brothers and sisters.Copy !req
946. I have walked away from things
that I care deeply about.Copy !req
947. I know.Copy !req
948. And I do it because I understandCopy !req
949. that when something becomes a liability,Copy !req
950. you cut it loose for the greater good.Copy !req
951. And if you ask me,
Wendy Rhoades is a liability,Copy !req
952. and I will never be okay
with the two of you talking.Copy !req
953. Okay.Copy !req
954. You're right.Copy !req
955. A-About everything.Copy !req
956. Look, what if I agreeCopy !req
957. that I, personally, won't see her?Copy !req
958. I'll draw a line.Copy !req
959. She and I will never have any sessions.Copy !req
960. That way,
she'll never have anything on me.Copy !req
961. Can you live with that?Copy !req
962. I can try.Copy !req
963. There you go, gentlemen.Copy !req
964. - Congrats.
- All right.Copy !req
965. - Well done.
- Hear, hear.Copy !req
966. Top-drawer.Copy !req
967. On my account, pal. Enjoy it.Copy !req
968. Couldn't be happier for you.Copy !req
969. To the vir triumphalis.Copy !req
970. Hear, hear!Copy !req
971. Son, there were times when
I thought you were finished.Copy !req
972. You scared the hell out of me,
more than once.Copy !req
973. But you prevailed.Copy !req
974. And the only question now is...Copy !req
975. which mansion will it be,
Gracie or the Governor's?Copy !req
976. Relax, Dad.Copy !req
977. I fought to keep my job.Copy !req
978. I'm just gonna try to enjoy
it for the time being.Copy !req
979. Don't waste this moment.Copy !req
980. There's no telling how
fleeting it might be.Copy !req
981. I have a piece of news.Copy !req
982. Words you never want to hear
come out of your lawyer's mouth.Copy !req
983. You're gonna want to hear this.
It is very good.Copy !req
984. On my way over here,
I got a call from Axelrod's lawyer.Copy !req
985. They are not gonna be
deposing you next week.Copy !req
986. They're not gonna be
deposing you at all.Copy !req
987. But their case can't proceed unless...Copy !req
988. Their case isn't proceeding.Copy !req
989. They are dropping the lawsuits...Copy !req
990. quietly, over the next couple of months.Copy !req
991. What did I tell you? You have muscle.Copy !req
992. You even scared Axelrod.Copy !req
993. When did this happen?Copy !req
994. I got the call on the way over.Copy !req
995. Your father's right.
You must've scared him.Copy !req
996. What's the problem?Copy !req
997. Now you're truly unencumbered.Copy !req
998. Axelrod isn't scared
by displays of strength.Copy !req
999. You all right?Copy !req
1000. I'm not sure.Copy !req
1001. Thank you for this tribute.Copy !req
1002. It means a great deal,Copy !req
1003. celebrating this victory with you both.Copy !req
1004. I have to go.Copy !req
1005. Enjoy the scotch.Copy !req
1006. Hall!Copy !req
1007. Sandicot's not getting
the gaming license.Copy !req
1008. The commission went another way,Copy !req
1009. gave it to a town in the Catskills.Copy !req
1010. I'm looking into what happened,
but it's over.Copy !req
1011. Are you there?Copy !req
1012. I'm so happy for you.Copy !req
1013. Is something wrong?Copy !req
1014. What did you do to get Axelrod
to drop the civil suits?Copy !req
1015. This is a conversation,Copy !req
1016. and I don't think we
should have it tonight.Copy !req
1017. Let's not do anything to spoil
the tremendous day you've had.Copy !req
1018. Yeah, it's too late for that.Copy !req
1019. I went back to work at Axe Capital.Copy !req
1020. And, um, are you gonna try to insistCopy !req
1021. that you did it for me?Copy !req
1022. No.Copy !req
1023. I wanted to go back.Copy !req
1024. Chuck.Copy !req
1025. It's my work.Copy !req
1026. And when I didn't have it anymore, it...Copy !req
1027. it left a hole I tried
very hard to fill, but couldn't.Copy !req
1028. So yes, I went back for me,Copy !req
1029. but in doing it,
I found a way to help you, too.Copy !req
1030. Well, I'm happy that it works for you.Copy !req
1031. But for us,
I am afraid it's a deal breaker.Copy !req
