1. Previously
on Billions...
Copy !req
2. We're doing a massive
cap raise. And quickly.
Copy !req
3. First money
post-indictment precludes
Copy !req
4. institutional investors.
Copy !req
5. We need
the icebreaker now.
Copy !req
6. We need
Grigor Andolov.
Copy !req
7. There was
this little boy.
Copy !req
8. And I take his mother
away from the square.
Copy !req
9. Behind the soldiers.
Copy !req
10. After, I leave her
for the soldiers.
Copy !req
11. This little boy, do you
know what happened to him?
Copy !req
12. No.
Copy !req
13. No one ever knows.
Copy !req
14. Bryan Connerty, meet the head
of the New York office.
Copy !req
15. Assistant Director
Frances Lynch.
Copy !req
16. Hi.
Copy !req
17. - Yes. I am.
Copy !req
18. Unless you're going to swing
on me like some Irish punk?
Copy !req
19. They say you can't ride
two horses with one behind,
Copy !req
20. but in today's business world,
it's a smart move,
Copy !req
21. Still pretty sharp
for an old dog.
Copy !req
22. When we spoke this morning,
you were in California.
Copy !req
23. You came to help me
with the algorithm?
Copy !req
24. To keep
you company.
Copy !req
25. You are now officially
but unofficially
Copy !req
26. the proud owner of half
of my half of Panay's fund,
Copy !req
27. You decide what's right
and what's wrong.
Copy !req
28. With no one to appease.
Copy !req
29. You're forgetting
Jock Jeffcoat.
Copy !req
30. His thumb pressing down
on me— I don't like it.
Copy !req
31. It's not
enough to resist
Copy !req
32. or not resist
Jock anymore.
Copy !req
33. You have to assassinate
this motherfucker.
Copy !req
34. They call it the... wood,
Copy !req
35. isn't that right,
Mr. Kornbluth?
Copy !req
36. That they do.
The front page.
Copy !req
37. Even though almost no one
reads it on paper anymore.
Copy !req
38. Oh, they'll bring back the
bulldog edition for this one.
Copy !req
39. Carrie Caminetti—
Copy !req
40. Buffalo mayoral candidate?
Copy !req
41. Buffalo bunko man.
Pay to play.
Copy !req
42. Corruption. Bribery.
Copy !req
43. It's all in there
Copy !req
44. and, though we're indicting,
you didn't get it from me.
Copy !req
45. What do you want
in return?
Copy !req
46. Everything you have—
every innuendo, allegation,
Copy !req
47. intimation—that you
couldn't substantiate,
Copy !req
48. that you've been
too scared to run,
Copy !req
49. that your editor
has killed—
Copy !req
50. On?
Copy !req
51. Jock Jeffcoat.
Copy !req
52. You're going after
your boss?
Copy !req
53. Or am I protecting him?
Copy !req
54. By finding out what's
floating around on him.
Copy !req
55. You'd be pacing the perimeter
with only a walkie and pistol.
Copy !req
56. He's already well insulated
behind the moat and drawbridge.
Copy !req
57. Texas style.
Copy !req
58. The thing is:
he's a rich man.
Copy !req
59. Everyone knows that.
Copy !req
60. What's he worth,
ten, fifteen mill?
Copy !req
61. No, Chuck. Whispers are:
twenty times that.
Copy !req
62. Has PR folks
whose sole job
Copy !req
63. is to keep him out of
the financial press.
Copy !req
64. Even when
he was governor.
Copy !req
65. There always have been rumors
as to the way he earned it.
Copy !req
66. Many center around
his brother.
Copy !req
67. The televangelist.
Copy !req
68. Right, and the ownership of
the networks he broadcasts on.
Copy !req
69. Wow.
Copy !req
70. All that hidden
money. Amazing.
Copy !req
71. Most folks these days
want everyone to think
Copy !req
72. they're richer
than they are.
Copy !req
73. Unless they don't want questions
about how they got it.
Copy !req
74. I've received a tip that
I'm honor bound to pursue.
Copy !req
75. On Jock Jeffcoat.
Copy !req
76. Mm.
Copy !req
77. Sweet Mary
the Mother Blessed.
Copy !req
78. And Joseph the Carpenter
too.
Copy !req
79. I'd like your help
to investigate.
Copy !req
80. Need it.
Copy !req
81. But this is dangerous.
For both of you.
Copy !req
82. So I want to give you
the chance to bail,
Copy !req
83. right now,
at no cost to you.
Copy !req
84. Good.
Copy !req
85. Noted and appreciated.
Copy !req
86. Now...
Copy !req
87. Jock's brother is
a Billy Graham revivalist type—
Copy !req
88. Yes.
Copy !req
89. During the Attorney General
vetting process,
Copy !req
90. they went deep on him,
I remember—
Copy !req
91. Oh, me too. Instead of a tent,
he has a mega-church.
Copy !req
92. They broadcast
to a loose network
Copy !req
93. of cable TV
stations nationwide.
Copy !req
94. Which may be
the open flank.
Copy !req
95. As the story is: the brother
owns those stations.
Copy !req
96. And that never came out
publicly. Even during the vet.
Copy !req
97. They must've planned
for that years ahead.
Copy !req
98. So they must have a reason
for wanting to hide it.
Copy !req
99. We'll dive into that.
Copy !req
100. People inside the organization
are likely to be loyal.
Copy !req
101. So find some who left.
Accountants. Lawyers.
Copy !req
102. The New York Jews
he'd hire
Copy !req
103. who got tired of the
Texas Two-Step and quit.
Copy !req
104. Maybe there's
some rancor.
Copy !req
105. I'll spread some
rootie-tooties around,
Copy !req
106. make something happen.
Copy !req
107. Okay.
Copy !req
108. Ask the question.
Copy !req
109. Well, I couldn't help
but think of a person
Copy !req
110. who knows a thing or two
about media deals.
Copy !req
111. Mm. I'm going to have
to insist
Copy !req
112. that we leave my father
out of this.
Copy !req
113. I can't have his name
written down and talked about.
Copy !req
114. I cannot have him
becoming a target for Jock.
Copy !req
115. Of course.
Copy !req
116. I won't ask you
to go to him.
Copy !req
117. Thank you.
Copy !req
118. - Ohh!
Copy !req
119. She says you have
a real forehand.
Copy !req
120. Do a thing,
do it well.
Copy !req
121. Your mother
teach you that?
Copy !req
122. The opposite, maybe.
Copy !req
123. Thanks for
setting this up.
Copy !req
124. Listen, Axe,
I'm pulling capital.
Copy !req
125. All of it?
Copy !req
126. 1.5 billion.
Copy !req
127. Oh, that's almost
half the investment.
Copy !req
128. I got a
good opportunity.
Copy !req
129. Good for you.
Copy !req
130. A Russian oil venture.
Copy !req
131. What you would call
a "mortal lock."
Copy !req
132. Your money just landed.
Copy !req
133. I put it in, I take it out.
I shake it all about.
Copy !req
134. You know I normally have
a quarterly gate
Copy !req
135. for people with new money.
Copy !req
136. But as a courtesy to you
Copy !req
137. I let you come in
without that restriction.
Copy !req
138. And I appreciate
the courtesy.
Copy !req
139. Now I must
take advantage.
Copy !req
140. What'd he say?
Copy !req
141. To let you win
next time.
Copy !req
142. I told him that's
never gonna happen.
Copy !req
143. You're way too smart
to believe that anyway.
Copy !req
144. You got that right.
Copy !req
145. Thanks. It was awesome.
Copy !req
146. Wags, rally the team.
Copy !req
147. We need to step up
the timeline on the raise.
Copy !req
148. The AG is here.
Copy !req
149. When you say "here"...?
Copy !req
150. Mr. Jeffcoat
is in the library.
Copy !req
151. General! Had I known, I'd've
organized a marching band.
Copy !req
152. In no mood
to be serenaded.
Copy !req
153. On my way in from the airport
I couldn't help but notice
Copy !req
154. what a... shithole
some areas are.
Copy !req
155. Yes, well, there's
underprivileged people
Copy !req
156. living out there
in low-income—
Copy !req
157. Shitholes, Chuck.
Copy !req
158. Gave me an idea.
Copy !req
159. Well, it was Giuliani's
brainstorm first,
Copy !req
160. back in the golden
era of Reagan.
Copy !req
161. But I'm gonna bring it
back like bell bottoms.
Copy !req
162. We are.
Copy !req
163. Federal Day.
Copy !req
164. I don't think
a Federal Day
Copy !req
165. is really going to
change very much—
Copy !req
166. It will for a spell.
Copy !req
167. That's more
than you've done.
Copy !req
168. You and your counterparts
are going to grab up
Copy !req
169. every city and state
drug case tomorrow
Copy !req
170. and make them
our cases.
Copy !req
171. We are going to
prosecute. And hard.
Copy !req
172. You want to deploy
federal resources
Copy !req
173. in prosecuting
dime bag amounts
Copy !req
174. in housing projects
and the like?
Copy !req
175. It is my fondest wish.
Copy !req
176. Ooh, by the by, um...
Copy !req
177. I have the missus in tow
with me on this trip.
Copy !req
178. And, uh, she's mentioned
how she's grown tired
Copy !req
179. of restaurant eating
on the road.
Copy !req
180. Oh.
Copy !req
181. We both have...
Copy !req
182. Oh, well,
Copy !req
183. why are you eating
in restaurants,
Copy !req
184. when Wendy and I
live here?
Copy !req
185. - Oh, Chuck—
- No, no, you'll, uh...
Copy !req
186. you'll come for dinner.
Copy !req
187. What a neighborly offer.
We gladly accept.
Copy !req
188. Good.
Copy !req
189. Great. Well, all right.
Copy !req
190. Great. Okay. Very good.
Copy !req
191. Okay, we need to move
quickly on the cap raise.
Copy !req
192. The Sex Wax is going on
the surfboard as we speak.
Copy !req
193. Getting into the spirit
of talking to the primes...
Copy !req
194. I mean to say:
we are well positioned.
Copy !req
195. I've been backchanneling
with them,
Copy !req
196. and landing
that Grigor money
Copy !req
197. lubricates as
you said it would...
Copy !req
198. it's telling the story
that we are back.
Copy !req
199. - Danger, Will Robinson!
Copy !req
200. I couldn't stop him, he said
it was DEFCON six urgent.
Copy !req
201. The DEFCON scale
only goes to five—
Copy !req
202. Exactly.
Copy !req
203. - And one is the most severe.
- Whatever.
Copy !req
204. We just had 1.5 big ones
pulled out of the firm.
Copy !req
205. - Oh, shit...
- Yeah.
Copy !req
206. That can only
be one person...
Copy !req
207. It's Grigor Andolov.
Copy !req
208. And just so you know
for the future:
Copy !req
209. you don't have
walk-in privileges.
Copy !req
210. Sugarpova?
Copy !req
211. High end!
Copy !req
212. Yumster!
Copy !req
213. You knew? You were going to have
us lie in the raise meetings.
Copy !req
214. I thought I had a few more
days until the redemption,
Copy !req
215. which meant all the meetings
we had wouldn't have been lies.
Copy !req
216. The Street will see the drop
in assets under management
Copy !req
217. and read it as one of two
redemptions or loss.
Copy !req
218. Either way fucks
the cap raise.
Copy !req
219. Yeah, so. We lever up
big, and quick.
Copy !req
220. Leverage on that scale
would have to flow
Copy !req
221. from the institutions.
Copy !req
222. The Street will
know we're fucked.
Copy !req
223. Well, you have
an alternative?
Copy !req
224. I do. Frotty Anisman.
Copy !req
225. - Gross.
Copy !req
226. Liquid as hell.
Copy !req
227. He works outside
the main of the business.
Copy !req
228. He's a middle man
for big money—
Copy !req
229. Middle Eastern money,
South American money,
Copy !req
230. dictators, anyone
who's got it.
Copy !req
231. Sounds somewhat ideal.
Copy !req
232. You don't know him.
Copy !req
233. That is an unpalatable
idea, Wags.
Copy !req
234. Does that mean
it's a no?
Copy !req
235. It's an
unpalatable idea...
Copy !req
236. Taylor, scour the floor
for any quick plays
Copy !req
237. to make up the shortfall.
Copy !req
238. Obscure the reason, but make
it clear the timeframe is now.
Copy !req
239. Say it.
Copy !req
240. Carly. Victor. Panay.
All the satellite funds.
Copy !req
241. Bring them on board.
Copy !req
242. Now, that's a fucking
good idea...
Copy !req
243. But the one thing more
important than giving oxygen
Copy !req
244. to the fire of Axe Cap is
keeping my escape hatches open
Copy !req
245. in case those pricks
from the government
Copy !req
246. ever come after me again.
Copy !req
247. So, maybe, Raul.
Copy !req
248. Time to call the cops.
Copy !req
249. Bring his fund back
to the mothership.
Copy !req
250. Raul, I got a treat
for you tonight.
Copy !req
251. This is the ramen that blew
Osakisan's mind in Tokyo.
Copy !req
252. - Enjoy.
Copy !req
253. Thanks, Ivan.
Copy !req
254. This is for you.
Copy !req
255. It's your piece of Panay.
Copy !req
256. The PIN is the date
you came to Axe Cap.
Copy !req
257. Prosperous day
for us both.
Copy !req
258. As they shall
continue to be.
Copy !req
259. More so once
you've come back.
Copy !req
260. Shit. Come on, we've had
some quiet success with Panay.
Copy !req
261. With your hand
on the wheel, sure,
Copy !req
262. but my board of directors
likes quiet.
Copy !req
263. Your board likes
Devin Hester returns
Copy !req
264. and I'm the only one
who can take their money
Copy !req
265. a hundred and nine yards to
the promised land.
Copy !req
266. You're doing that.
Through Panay.
Copy !req
267. Still too soon.
Copy !req
268. Okay, if you're not
gonna come back yourself,
Copy !req
269. go to work for me.
Copy !req
270. Firefighters pension fund,
Sanitation workers fund,
Copy !req
271. Corrections officers—
Copy !req
272. convince 'em to come
on board Axe Cap.
Copy !req
273. Come on, feed me some red meat,
man. You'll get a cut.
Copy !req
274. You putting me out on
the street like I used to
Copy !req
275. with my runny nosed
junkie CIs.
Copy !req
276. Yeah, that drive
in your pocket's
Copy !req
277. gonna give you
a lot more motivation
Copy !req
278. than the crumpled twenties
and the methadone tabs
Copy !req
279. you used to give them.
Copy !req
280. I'll make some calls.
Copy !req
281. And I won't ask why
you're so desperate
Copy !req
282. for this immediate
cash infusion...
Copy !req
283. I almost
didn't take this meeting.
Copy !req
284. Because Kate would
have called me,
Copy !req
285. told me the agenda
Copy !req
286. if it were something
on the actual agenda.
Copy !req
287. So you both need something
from me—but you're here alone.
Copy !req
288. You didn't want her
compromised by asking.
Copy !req
289. Well, uh...
Copy !req
290. there's a reason you're where
you are in life, Franklin.
Copy !req
291. - There are many.
- Mm.
Copy !req
292. Luck prominent
among them.
Copy !req
293. Mm.
Copy !req
294. And, yes, certain tools,
skills, abilities.
Copy !req
295. How can I use those
to benefit you today?
Copy !req
296. Good. Let's go
right at it. Yes.
Copy !req
297. I'm trying to understand
how a particular set of deals
Copy !req
298. would have been made
several years back.
Copy !req
299. Local television station
deals. In Texas.
Copy !req
300. By powerful
government officials.
Copy !req
301. Dangerous ground for anyone
to look at these days.
Copy !req
302. More so for you.
Copy !req
303. Kind of man would I be
if I let that danger stop me?
Copy !req
304. Are you particularly
focused on deals
Copy !req
305. that revolve around
a religious center
Copy !req
306. and its ability to broadcast
its message widely?
Copy !req
307. I am.
Copy !req
308. I should be.
Copy !req
309. Right?
Copy !req
310. Follow me closely here.
Copy !req
311. I can't engage.
Copy !req
312. Can't talk specifically
about it.
Copy !req
313. I have a duty to my board
and shareholders—
Copy !req
314. not to get the company
on the shit list
Copy !req
315. of the most powerful lawman
in the country—
Copy !req
316. and I must hew to that.
Copy !req
317. Let's speak
more broadly, then.
Copy !req
318. Philosophically...
Copy !req
319. Not going to sit here and run
you through how land deals—
Copy !req
320. Whose land?
Copy !req
321. Exactly.
Copy !req
322. How those deals were
struck a decade ago
Copy !req
323. to allow wires to run
across half the state.
Copy !req
324. How land leases,
conservation areas
Copy !req
325. and water rights might have been
eminent domained and such.
Copy !req
326. And what that might
have cost who.
Copy !req
327. And who might
have benefited.
Copy !req
328. I'd never ask you to give me
that kind of info,
Copy !req
329. for the record.
Copy !req
330. No, that'd be helping me.
Copy !req
331. Which you are not.
Copy !req
332. The last time I was in Texas,
Jock was still governor.
Copy !req
333. And had oversight
over the entire state.
Copy !req
334. You know that.
Copy !req
335. What you don't know
is the ways
Copy !req
336. in which he wielded
that influence.
Copy !req
337. We all, every one of us
in the media landscape,
Copy !req
338. had to kiss his ring.
Copy !req
339. After that, I thought:
been there, done that.
Copy !req
340. And stayed away.
Copy !req
341. Never thinking
he'd end up in a place
Copy !req
342. where he could
do more damage.
Copy !req
343. Unless someone,
somehow stopped him.
Copy !req
344. You're white-knuckling
your necktie.
Copy !req
345. Um... we're having dinner
Copy !req
346. with the Attorney General
and his wife.
Copy !req
347. Tonight.
Copy !req
348. Oh.
Copy !req
349. Where are we going?
Copy !req
350. Well, they've, uh...
Copy !req
351. they've, uh, tired
of restaurant eating.
Copy !req
352. Restaurant eating?
Copy !req
353. That's like being
tired of air flying.
Copy !req
354. What other kind
is there?
Copy !req
355. I'm really supposed to
cook for these people?
Copy !req
356. Do we know anything
about Mrs. Jeffcoat?
Copy !req
357. Uh... goes by Anne.
Copy !req
358. Actually, that's her name.
Probably goes by Mother.
Copy !req
359. So we're
doing this?
Copy !req
360. Fuck. We're doing this.
Copy !req
361. Well, I'm not
putting on an apron.
Copy !req
362. That's not a story
they're leaving with.
Copy !req
363. What then?
Copy !req
364. A quick thing?
Copy !req
365. - Sure.
Copy !req
366. Spartan-Ives
for you.
Copy !req
367. Axe, I've got
Kansas City in town.
Copy !req
368. The Heavy Construction
Laborers Union fund.
Copy !req
369. They heard you got
your icebreaker.
Copy !req
370. They're coming to you
for a meeting.
Copy !req
371. Starting investment
is 500 million.
Copy !req
372. Well, we'll see about upping
that number. Send them in.
Copy !req
373. Just a warning:
they're straitlaced.
Copy !req
374. I'm taking them to Cats,
not The Box.
Copy !req
375. Okay. So we'll give them milk
with their Michter's.
Copy !req
376. And when we're sitting
at the table with 'em,
Copy !req
377. you sell them the car with
the Tru
Copy !req
378. Go Bears!
Copy !req
379. You came in
for something.
Copy !req
380. A minor key
personal thing.
Copy !req
381. Can you arrange NoMad for me
and some out of town guests?
Copy !req
382. Sure. Oscar isn't
wired in New York?
Copy !req
383. He is, but I want to deliver
this for him as a present.
Copy !req
384. It's a business thing,
a little celebration.
Copy !req
385. Okay. I'll call
Will Guidara now.
Copy !req
386. You really
are starting a war.
Copy !req
387. Like Costner did
in Wolves.
Copy !req
388. Riding right up
to the enemy line,
Copy !req
389. letting 'em take
their shots at you,
Copy !req
390. almost daring them
to kill you.
Copy !req
391. Like him, I am
the walking wounded already.
Copy !req
392. Might as well go out
Bon Jovi style.
Copy !req
393. Blaze of Glory, huh?
Copy !req
394. You've worked for me
a long while, Kate,
Copy !req
395. you've studied hard.
Good one.
Copy !req
396. So we can't talk you
out of this one?
Copy !req
397. No.
Copy !req
398. But we can be more careful
than Mr. Costner was.
Copy !req
399. So as not to tip off
Main Justice
Copy !req
400. until the case is built.
Copy !req
401. Not easy.
Copy !req
402. We refer to this defendant
as "Anonymous"
Copy !req
403. so we don't have to
notify the Inspector General
Copy !req
404. and do a Special
Grand Jury,
Copy !req
405. which would blow
this whole thing up.
Copy !req
406. We have to build
this one alone.
Copy !req
407. And yeah. That ain't
gonna be easy.
Copy !req
408. But, hey, if we wanted to be
in the "easy" business,
Copy !req
409. we'd have gone
to med school.
Copy !req
410. I really have
taught you well.
Copy !req
411. So the guy you need to
see is Ashley Cutler.
Copy !req
412. He's a principal at
Cutler Wealth Management.
Copy !req
413. It's that New York City
hedge fund that manages
Copy !req
414. the financial assets of
Jock's brother's megachurch.
Copy !req
415. Why don't I go
over there?
Copy !req
416. Because Cutler Wealth
Management is a front.
Copy !req
417. It's a broom
closet in Midtown.
Copy !req
418. What's behind it?
Copy !req
419. We don't know yet.
Copy !req
420. But we drilled down
and found his residence.
Copy !req
421. Expensive property
outside of Newburgh.
Copy !req
422. His EZ Pass and his phone
have him at the house.
Copy !req
423. You can't take
your government car.
Copy !req
424. Rental, in my name,
in the garage.
Copy !req
425. Good.
Copy !req
426. I should
get on the road,
Copy !req
427. I have a dinner
I really can't miss.
Copy !req
428. I thought we were
making progress.
Copy !req
429. When I'd heard you'd
stood up to Dollar Bill.
Copy !req
430. Me too!
Copy !req
431. But it didn't last.
Copy !req
432. I think the snap back made me
even more timid, somehow.
Copy !req
433. What happened today?
Copy !req
434. You know we're looking for
short term cash generators.
Copy !req
435. I have one.
Copy !req
436. I'd like to talk, um,
to you later.
Copy !req
437. I have, maybe,
I might have an idea
Copy !req
438. to generate
alpha, quickly.
Copy !req
439. Go!
Copy !req
440. Here?
Copy !req
441. This is where it
all happens. Let fly.
Copy !req
442. Now.
Copy !req
443. I've...
Copy !req
444. - uh...
Copy !req
445. been tracking rental car
companies for years.
Copy !req
446. Is this
an automotive play?
Copy !req
447. Because we're well
covered in that space.
Copy !req
448. - It isn't.
Copy !req
449. But there's a kernel
of an idea that's grown...
Copy !req
450. But I couldn't pitch it.
Copy !req
451. And then, I couldn't
even... go...
Copy !req
452. Go?
Copy !req
453. It's hard to concentrate with
all of you watching right now.
Copy !req
454. Pee.
I had pee fright.
Copy !req
455. Come on. Let's walk.
Copy !req
456. We do assessments
of everyone who works here.
Copy !req
457. To see who might be a candidate
for one of these offices.
Copy !req
458. The C
Copy !req
459. That's right.
Copy !req
460. Most of the time
it just confirms
Copy !req
461. that most folks are exactly
where they should be.
Copy !req
462. They've topped out. Or worse,
are going to bottom out.
Copy !req
463. Is that what mine says?
Copy !req
464. Would I have brought you up here
if you were bottoming out?
Copy !req
465. No...?
Copy !req
466. Well, actually, I might.
If I thought you needed a jolt.
Copy !req
467. But this is not that. This is:
right now, at this moment,
Copy !req
468. if you want to finally
live the fuck up
Copy !req
469. to your potential
instead of spiraling,
Copy !req
470. you must find a way
to shift the paradigm.
Copy !req
471. That could be
your office,
Copy !req
472. or that.
Copy !req
473. CIO, picking
the strategies.
Copy !req
474. COO, managing
the risk.
Copy !req
475. Eh...
Copy !req
476. Maybe even...
Copy !req
477. Owner?
Copy !req
478. Yes, instead of
being down there,
Copy !req
479. with them.
Copy !req
480. But that's where
I'm comfortable.
Copy !req
481. No. It's where you've
made yourself fit.
Copy !req
482. Because you're so bound up
in being the smallest,
Copy !req
483. most helpful, unobtrusive
version of yourself.
Copy !req
484. Just like your mother
Copy !req
485. shits on your head for.
Copy !req
486. Now, what you need to do
to prove her wrong,
Copy !req
487. and prove it to yourself,
is something
Copy !req
488. totally out of character,
big and bold.
Copy !req
489. Something public,
Copy !req
490. that terrifies you,
in order to free yourself.
Copy !req
491. Like... recite a sonnet
to a crowd.
Copy !req
492. Invite the office
to see you skydive.
Copy !req
493. Become a Toastmaster.
Copy !req
494. Something totally
out of character.
Copy !req
495. You have to break through
the confidence barrier,
Copy !req
496. Because then... you'll
break through
Copy !req
497. the C-suite
barrier, too.
Copy !req
498. Sorry man, firefighters
won't touch you.
Copy !req
499. They sprint into
burning buildings
Copy !req
500. but they're
afraid of us?
Copy !req
501. It's not fear, Wags, they're
still pissed about 9/11.
Copy !req
502. A little bit.
Copy !req
503. What about Sanitation?
Copy !req
504. Too many retired firefighters
in that union. It's a no-go.
Copy !req
505. If it's one thing
I know about you
Copy !req
506. it's that that wasn't
your only idea.
Copy !req
507. You'll move on to the next
one and make it work.
Copy !req
508. Not sure the next
one's fully formed.
Copy !req
509. That's because you keep
looking backwards
Copy !req
510. to the kind of people
who used to invest with you.
Copy !req
511. Instead of forward
Copy !req
512. to the sort of folks
you can get now.
Copy !req
513. You have to change.
Copy !req
514. That's what I learned
on the job.
Copy !req
515. Six percent of the class
gets promoted to lieutenant.
Copy !req
516. Other guys,
they got a choice.
Copy !req
517. They either accept that
they were left behind.
Copy !req
518. Or they claw themselves forward
taking shit assignments
Copy !req
519. no one else is
willing to take.
Copy !req
520. Hope to edge up
from there.
Copy !req
521. Alright.
Copy !req
522. Let's book that unpalatable
meeting on City Island.
Copy !req
523. Hello.
Copy !req
524. I'm here to see
Mr. Cutler.
Copy !req
525. I'm sorry, sir,
Mr. Cutler's not here.
Copy !req
526. Really?
Copy !req
527. 'Cause I have information
that says he is.
Copy !req
528. He packed some things.
He's gone.
Copy !req
529. Look, uh...
Copy !req
530. I am the
United States Attorney
Copy !req
531. for the Southern District
of New York.
Copy !req
532. It's an official matter.
Copy !req
533. You can check...
Copy !req
534. Cutler's on the lam
or he went to the AG.
Copy !req
535. Either way, he didn't
want to be tracked.
Copy !req
536. Uh... impossible. He couldn't
have known you were coming.
Copy !req
537. Have you two been making your
calls on government landlines?
Copy !req
538. Encrypted wireless.
Copy !req
539. Good.
Copy !req
540. We have to find him.
Copy !req
541. Sacker, you got FBI
you can trust?
Copy !req
542. Yeah, I got a guy
I can ask. He's solid.
Copy !req
543. Do it.
Copy !req
544. Let's make this quick.
Copy !req
545. Gotta get back
for Gordie's birthday.
Copy !req
546. Mmm. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
547. Mmm. Hey, listen, I could
do about six more of these.
Copy !req
548. I'll bet.
Copy !req
549. You want?
Copy !req
550. No?
Copy !req
551. Oh!
Copy !req
552. Ah, shit!
Copy !req
553. Alright. Look, Axey,
you're sitting with me.
Copy !req
554. So I know you must be desperate
as a fraternity pledge
Copy !req
555. who can't find a date for
the screw-your-brother dance.
Copy !req
556. Yeah, well, there's
a window into your youth
Copy !req
557. I could've done without
right now.
Copy !req
558. No.
Copy !req
559. But what you must need
is capital.
Copy !req
560. I'll provide it.
Copy !req
561. I'll move in
my Jordanian investors,
Copy !req
562. as a purchase of twenty percent
of your fund, passively,
Copy !req
563. no controls at all
Copy !req
564. on investment, management,
risk, anything like that.
Copy !req
565. So what do you want,
Copy !req
566. apart from the payout
that you get year to year?
Copy !req
567. There are men who would
be too proud to tell you.
Copy !req
568. You're not one of them.
Copy !req
569. I want you
to slap my name
Copy !req
570. on the ass end
of yours,
Copy !req
571. so it's
Axe/Anisman Capital.
Copy !req
572. There'll be no ass slapping
of any kind, Frotty.
Copy !req
573. It's Axe Cap.
And it will stay that way
Copy !req
574. until they drop me in a hole
and toss the dirt in.
Copy !req
575. Fine. Alright.
Forget the name.
Copy !req
576. But, uh...
I need your glow.
Copy !req
577. I want you to
hug me in public.
Copy !req
578. Come to my conference
in Tulsa,
Copy !req
579. tell folks
I am a wise counselor
Copy !req
580. whose words have
great weight for you.
Copy !req
581. You think standing
next to our boy
Copy !req
582. will make that mirepoix
of psoriasis, dandruff,
Copy !req
583. and irritable bowel
syndrome disappear?
Copy !req
584. I don't have
IBS. Technically.
Copy !req
585. And yes
I do think so.
Copy !req
586. Because while he's
surfed above it all,
Copy !req
587. I've been treated like
Eddie Mush with a pocketbook.
Copy !req
588. Mm?
Copy !req
589. If you want
my Jordanian money,
Copy !req
590. you got to cuddle up.
Copy !req
591. I'll agree.
Copy !req
592. With one condition: If I want
to buy you out in a year—
Copy !req
593. give you your money back with
a profit—you have to let me.
Copy !req
594. I need that freedom.
Copy !req
595. Well, that's why
you couldn't make this deal
Copy !req
596. with an institution.
Copy !req
597. No one would ever
agree to that.
Copy !req
598. Fine.
Copy !req
599. At a forty percent premium.
Copy !req
600. Okay, Frotty.
Copy !req
601. We'll sign the deal
at Axe Cap tomorrow.
Copy !req
602. I can't wait to fucking
announce this!
Copy !req
603. Hey. Alright.
Copy !req
604. You guys want
one of these, huh?
Copy !req
605. They're Wellfleet's.
Copy !req
606. They're plump and briny,
like my dream dates.
Copy !req
607. Hmm
Copy !req
608. Hey.
Copy !req
609. Alright.
Copy !req
610. Hey boys...
Copy !req
611. Hi, Dad.
Copy !req
612. Nice you showed up
for your own kid's party.
Copy !req
613. An hour late.
Copy !req
614. Well, looks like
everybody's got
Copy !req
615. right into the spirit
of it without me.
Copy !req
616. Should we have waited
to get started?
Copy !req
617. Wow, you open any door
in this fucking city,
Copy !req
618. the dregs
blow right in.
Copy !req
619. Well, this is my apartment.
So can't keep me out.
Copy !req
620. Enjoying that?
Copy !req
621. Hells to the yeah.
Copy !req
622. Pizza's ready
in five minutes!
Copy !req
623. Bruno...
Copy !req
624. Sorry to encroach.
Copy !req
625. I had a feeling I'd see ya,
but Gordie likes the pies.
Copy !req
626. Well...
Copy !req
627. Look, whatever went
down between us,
Copy !req
628. I'd do anything
for your kids.
Copy !req
629. Oh, fuck...
Copy !req
630. I never meant for business
to get between us.
Copy !req
631. Eh...
Copy !req
632. I should've never brought it
to you in the first place.
Copy !req
633. Friendship should
stay clean.
Copy !req
634. Cent'ann'.
Copy !req
635. To your beautiful family.
Copy !req
636. Alright.
Copy !req
637. Let me ask
you something.
Copy !req
638. When you started out
way back,
Copy !req
639. everybody else
in the neighborhood,
Copy !req
640. they took juiced up money,
Shylock money, mob money.
Copy !req
641. So how did you stay away
from it all these years?
Copy !req
642. Ahh, kid, the kind of money
those guys give you,
Copy !req
643. I mean, it's not like
the points on a regular loan.
Copy !req
644. You end up renting out
Copy !req
645. a hundred percent
of your own ass.
Copy !req
646. No seed money
is worth that...
Copy !req
647. So I scraped it
together myself.
Copy !req
648. Right.
Copy !req
649. And I had my family looking
at me like I was a hero,
Copy !req
650. a good man.
Copy !req
651. I never wanted
to lose that.
Copy !req
652. You kid...
Copy !req
653. Alright, come on!
Copy !req
654. I got pizza!
Hot and ready. Come on!
Copy !req
655. - Hell yeah!
- I got a Margherita.
Copy !req
656. I got
a clam with bacon.
Copy !req
657. I got
a pepperoni coming up...
Copy !req
658. You grind up about
four pounds of fresh meat.
Copy !req
659. Anything's acceptable—
rabbit, possum, unidentified.
Copy !req
660. Stay away
from skunk, though,
Copy !req
661. since its odiferousness
tends to have
Copy !req
662. a negative effect
on the final result.
Copy !req
663. And that's
Texas Roadkill Chili?
Copy !req
664. It is indeed.
Copy !req
665. Smells a little bit
like this tuna.
Copy !req
666. Hm.
Copy !req
667. Your cook
seems good.
Copy !req
668. Mm.
Copy !req
669. Where's Chuck?
Copy !req
670. Fuck.
Copy !req
671. Oh, motherfucker.
Copy !req
672. No service.
Copy !req
673. Oh, motherfucker.
Copy !req
674. MOTHERFUCKER.
Copy !req
675. Could you perchance
raise him via telephone,
Copy !req
676. find out what's
keeping him?
Copy !req
677. I mean, if it's something big,
maybe I should be in on it, too.
Copy !req
678. Is it
Copy !req
679. Did he say where he is,
what he's up to?
Copy !req
680. I have tried.
Copy !req
681. He must be stuck
on the subway.
Copy !req
682. I rode it once
and was warned
Copy !req
683. that they expose themselves
to women down there.
Copy !req
684. Who's "they"?
Copy !req
685. You know, in Japan they took out
all the seats.
Copy !req
686. So now they're all
crushed up together
Copy !req
687. like they're on some death
camp train from the Deuce.
Copy !req
688. Let's put Japan
on the never list, then.
Copy !req
689. Oh, it is, sugar.
It is.
Copy !req
690. Oh, my God,
oh, my God.
Copy !req
691. Finally.
Copy !req
692. Who's the help?
Copy !req
693. Axe's chef.
Copy !req
694. Let's not
share that with our guests.
Copy !req
695. - Oh, hello. Forgive me.
- Oh, there he is!
Copy !req
696. Very sorry.
Copy !req
697. You remember
my one and only?
Copy !req
698. Yes, of course.
What a pleasure. Hello.
Copy !req
699. Where ya been?
On a hot one?
Copy !req
700. You know, just
making the rounds,
Copy !req
701. seeing that all the patients
are in bed and well tended to.
Copy !req
702. - You know.
Copy !req
703. Uh, you know it. Yeah.
Copy !req
704. No.
Copy !req
705. I don't think that's
where you were.
Copy !req
706. You wouldn't be late
'cause of that.
Copy !req
707. Really.
Copy !req
708. You're working something...
Copy !req
709. But you don't want me
to know anything about it.
Copy !req
710. You want to surprise me
with a big win.
Copy !req
711. Hm
Copy !req
712. Nailed me.
Copy !req
713. Shall we
all to table?
Copy !req
714. - Absolutely!
- After you, sugar.
Copy !req
715. - Thank you.
- Please.
Copy !req
716. Welcome. This is compliments
of Mr. Axelrod.
Copy !req
717. Dom Perignon P2.
Copy !req
718. Enjoy.
Copy !req
719. Well, to
Genometech Atlas,
Copy !req
720. and the closing on our
final round this week...
Copy !req
721. And to the man who built it,
Peyton Breen,
Copy !req
722. a unicorn
walking among us.
Copy !req
723. Could not have done it
without you, Oscar.
Copy !req
724. Well, you could have, but how
would you have paid for it?
Copy !req
725. So, genomic mapping
and decoding.
Copy !req
726. A home-use diagnostic kit
with an app-linked database—
Copy !req
727. That's how we monetize.
Copy !req
728. Send in a sample,
map your genome,
Copy !req
729. find out exactly what drugs
you should be taking,
Copy !req
730. for what deficiency,
what disease, how much, when.
Copy !req
731. It will start
as a shortcut
Copy !req
732. for doctors
and patients,
Copy !req
733. but eventually,
there won't be doctors.
Copy !req
734. Only the app
and the patient.
Copy !req
735. That's how we
really monetize.
Copy !req
736. I never thought I'd be
excited to hear someone
Copy !req
737. cut the human interface
out of medicine
Copy !req
738. but I think I am.
Copy !req
739. Thanks.
Copy !req
740. We have so few
nights together,
Copy !req
741. thank you for spending
one on this.
Copy !req
742. Thank you for including
me in your work.
Copy !req
743. You're incredible.
Copy !req
744. Anisman should be
here any minute.
Copy !req
745. Grigor and his
fucking money.
Copy !req
746. I never take it,
he never pulls it.
Copy !req
747. I'm not even
considering this.
Copy !req
748. I feel like Rick
in Casablanca,
Copy !req
749. selling out
to Signor Ferrari.
Copy !req
750. Hello.
Copy !req
751. Ah.
Copy !req
752. Bill.
Copy !req
753. Oh, Jesus.
Copy !req
754. Frotty Anisman.
Copy !req
755. I should have
sniffed him out
Copy !req
756. from all the Sadelle's
they carted in before.
Copy !req
757. The fuck they
call him Frotty?
Copy !req
758. Short for 'frottage.'
Copy !req
759. As in: stay out of
close quarters with him.
Copy !req
760. I'm still lost.
Copy !req
761. The practice of rubbing against
another person's clothed body
Copy !req
762. in a crowd for
sexual gratification.
Copy !req
763. But for the record,
it's pronounced frot-tahge.
Copy !req
764. - Ohhh...
- Ohhh...
Copy !req
765. Totally gross
Copy !req
766. unless you're ScarJo
and JoGo in Don Jon.
Copy !req
767. Then it's hot as fuck.
Copy !req
768. He's here.
Copy !req
769. I'm gonna go
greet.
Copy !req
770. Hey, how was NoMad?
Copy !req
771. It was perfect. Thank you
so much for setting it up.
Copy !req
772. Oscar loved it.
And so did Peyton Breen...
Copy !req
773. Good. Glad to hear it.
Copy !req
774. So you're
really doing it,
Copy !req
775. selling off a piece
of Axe Capital.
Copy !req
776. Will it be worth it
for the cap raise?
Copy !req
777. Well, we'll see.
Copy !req
778. Oh!
Copy !req
779. - Ah, shit!
Copy !req
780. So, you ready to go?
Copy !req
781. Okay. Okay.
Copy !req
782. All right. I guess
this is what we're doing.
Copy !req
783. It seems to be.
Copy !req
784. All right.
Copy !req
785. We're almost there, huh?
Copy !req
786. Almost closed on
the deal of it all.
Copy !req
787. We have a deal.
Copy !req
788. Yes, we do.
Copy !req
789. Alllllmosst.
Copy !req
790. Because I got to thinking
about what I am buying.
Copy !req
791. And I realized
Copy !req
792. I'm leaving the most
valuable part untapped.
Copy !req
793. And what's that?
Copy !req
794. Your trades.
Copy !req
795. I can make far more money
following you
Copy !req
796. than I even will
owning you.
Copy !req
797. You won't be owning me.
Copy !req
798. You'll be owning a small
piece of my company
Copy !req
799. that I can call back.
Copy !req
800. All the more, sir,
all the more.
Copy !req
801. I need
total transparency.
Copy !req
802. And you're gonna give it to me
because you got nothing else.
Copy !req
803. Gornisht. Bupkis. Nul.
Copy !req
804. I can't do it...
Copy !req
805. I won't do it...
Copy !req
806. Go home. I pass.
Copy !req
807. You need me.
Copy !req
808. You're not getting anywhere
without me and my money.
Copy !req
809. Frotty, I got billions of
dollars, hundreds of employees,
Copy !req
810. and two kids at home
who think I can fly.
Copy !req
811. What the fuck
do you have?
Copy !req
812. The only thing you need.
Copy !req
813. More.
Copy !req
814. All the same,
get the fuck out.
Copy !req
815. Fine.
Copy !req
816. Fine.
Copy !req
817. You know I love it when you move
with the mystery of Yahweh,
Copy !req
818. but what the fuck?
Copy !req
819. I hope you
have something
Copy !req
820. because you just threw out
the thing we had.
Copy !req
821. I might.
Copy !req
822. I just might.
Copy !req
823. We got Cutler.
Dive motel in Newark.
Copy !req
824. He bought a plane ticket
from Newark to Caracas, in cash.
Copy !req
825. But he entered his TSA number
when he checked in.
Copy !req
826. So we canvassed
all the local hotels.
Copy !req
827. Nice work, Dancshazy.
Copy !req
828. You want us to take
him in for processing?
Copy !req
829. Not sure what charges
you're bringing.
Copy !req
830. Even sitting on him for
this long gonna be a problem
Copy !req
831. unless you've got
something on him—
Copy !req
832. You can go.
It's just a chat.
Copy !req
833. By the time we're done he won't
be filing any complaints.
Copy !req
834. Sir.
Copy !req
835. Mr. Cutler.
Copy !req
836. Sweltering in Caracas
right now.
Copy !req
837. Unbearable.
Copy !req
838. Why the sudden trip
in the worsted wool?
Copy !req
839. I heard on the wind
it'd be a good time to go.
Copy !req
840. Ahh, New York
finance whiz like you,
Copy !req
841. you're probably making a
currency play on the Bolivar.
Copy !req
842. Oh, but that's right,
Copy !req
843. you're not a New York
finance whiz.
Copy !req
844. Why the New York
bust out shop?
Copy !req
845. I keep an address.
Copy !req
846. It's a move that's
widely practiced.
Copy !req
847. Tell me about
the Jeffcoats' business
Copy !req
848. and you'll be on your flight
to Venezuela in no time.
Copy !req
849. Let's call
the Jeffcoats.
Copy !req
850. Together. If you're
so fucking interested.
Copy !req
851. Mm.
Copy !req
852. Sure, we can call them,
Copy !req
853. but would they be happy
to hear from you?
Copy !req
854. You've been on a hell of a
losing streak with their money.
Copy !req
855. Markets are tough.
Copy !req
856. Oh, a pack of monkeys
throwing darts at a board
Copy !req
857. would do better
than you...
Copy !req
858. ten, twelve, fifteen
million dollar losses...
Copy !req
859. Ten years running!
Copy !req
860. The church has a longer horizon
than ordinary investors—
Copy !req
861. Come on, we both know you're
not executing any trades.
Copy !req
862. You know who
that sounds like?
Copy !req
863. I'll give you a hint,
Copy !req
864. you'll be rooming
with him at Camp Butner.
Copy !req
865. That's right, Madoff.
Copy !req
866. Because I know the church
is 'investing' with you,
Copy !req
867. and you're kicking
it back as cash
Copy !req
868. and writing it off
as losses.
Copy !req
869. Now, where the fuck did
Jeffcoat get all this money
Copy !req
870. he put with you?
Copy !req
871. I tell you,
I get to leave?
Copy !req
872. You're fresh out
of conditions.
Copy !req
873. Jail or not?
Copy !req
874. Alright...
Copy !req
875. The cable company.
TexasSouthCable.
Copy !req
876. Jeffcoats made their money
by letting it run its lines
Copy !req
877. underneath the family ranchland
for monster licensing fees.
Copy !req
878. Four times market.
Copy !req
879. They kicked back
a chunk of that
Copy !req
880. to the cable company
president, of course...
Copy !req
881. They got rich.
Copy !req
882. How come the money never
showed up as income?
Copy !req
883. Charitable donations.
Copy !req
884. - The church.
- Yep. That was their laundry.
Copy !req
885. And they split up the cash,
bought some television stations.
Copy !req
886. Parishioners donated
their money.
Copy !req
887. The church
feeds that to me.
Copy !req
888. I... you know,
with the books.
Copy !req
889. And cut
the shell corp checks.
Copy !req
890. And to save yourself,
you are willing to testify
Copy !req
891. Jock Jeffcoat profited
along with his brother?
Copy !req
892. Still profits.
Copy !req
893. I know he does.
Copy !req
894. Good thing
is there's no paperwork.
Copy !req
895. The Chuck Rhoades Special.
Copy !req
896. So which case
are we filing the OT under?
Copy !req
897. Nah, we gotta eat this one
for Kate. I owe you...
Copy !req
898. Have a good night.
Copy !req
899. You're Agent Dancshazy.
Copy !req
900. You're the new
Special Counsel.
Copy !req
901. We know each other.
Copy !req
902. We've met... night
at the bar a while back...
Copy !req
903. just want you to know:
I have no beef with you.
Copy !req
904. Yeah. Sure.
No problem.
Copy !req
905. Same team right?
Copy !req
906. Right.
Copy !req
907. You. Me.
Director Lynch.
Copy !req
908. Sacker. Chuck Rhoades.
All of us. All the way.
Copy !req
909. Hm.
Copy !req
910. Yeah.
Copy !req
911. Have you done it?
Copy !req
912. N-Not yet.
Copy !req
913. I just—
Copy !req
914. Don't you say the word
'can't' to me.
Copy !req
915. You will.
Copy !req
916. The only question
is when.
Copy !req
917. Beyond our long-short
strategies and derivatives
Copy !req
918. we look for
options inefficiencies
Copy !req
919. in convert arb situations.
Copy !req
920. We get the stability
of a convert arb
Copy !req
921. plus the multiplier effect of
using those inefficient options.
Copy !req
922. Taylor's pitching
a shut out in there.
Copy !req
923. These Kansas City yokels
are lapping it up.
Copy !req
924. Between that and playing you
like the great and powerful Oz,
Copy !req
925. too busy for the meeting,
it's working.
Copy !req
926. - Good.
- Groups like this
Copy !req
927. never say yes
in the room.
Copy !req
928. I'll text you when
the meeting breaks.
Copy !req
929. Okay. Hey, I'll catch you
down by the elevator—
Copy !req
930. "I had to at least say hello..."
and ride down with them.
Copy !req
931. And, you know,
try to ram it home.
Copy !req
932. Squirt some of that
winner musk all over 'em.
Copy !req
933. I plan to.
Copy !req
934. - Hey folks, folks.
- Oh. Hi, Axe.
Copy !req
935. I really wish I could've been
in on that meeting with you,
Copy !req
936. but I couldn't
let you out of here
Copy !req
937. without looking
you in the eye
Copy !req
938. - and shaking your hand.
Copy !req
939. Eh, you know what,
I'll ride down with you.
Copy !req
940. Thanks, Bobby.
We appreciate that.
Copy !req
941. Yeah, thank you.
Sure you're busy.
Copy !req
942. And so, how is
our fair city treating you?
Copy !req
943. Not now.
Copy !req
944. Not now. Ben!
Copy !req
945. You tried
Carmine's yet?
Copy !req
946. - Not now. Psst. Ben! Ben!
- Not yet.
Copy !req
947. We're going tonight
before Cats.
Copy !req
948. Isn't it great they
brought Cats back?
Copy !req
949. Absolutely...
Copy !req
950. You know, when it comes
to pension fund managers,
Copy !req
951. these groups never give
an answer in the room.
Copy !req
952. But they did this time—
Copy !req
953. The answer was no—
Copy !req
954. It was 'heck no.'
Copy !req
955. They didn't like it?
Copy !req
956. Found it offensive,
called us unprofessional.
Copy !req
957. So... what the hell
was that?
Copy !req
958. I've been tracking rental car
usage in business cities,
Copy !req
959. developing relationships
with managers there.
Copy !req
960. Based on lots of activity
in Milwaukee,
Copy !req
961. I've deduced a big move
is going down...
Copy !req
962. Talk more.
Copy !req
963. Managers of the main airport
locations have confirmed
Copy !req
964. that there are lots
of Dutch passports
Copy !req
965. being presented
for car rentals.
Copy !req
966. Holland Inter-Bev's
going after Beer National.
Copy !req
967. My sources were able
to confirm, by GPS,
Copy !req
968. that all these cars have been
going from a Courtyard Marriott
Copy !req
969. seven miles to—
Copy !req
970. Beer National's
Milwaukee headquarters.
Copy !req
971. Right.
Copy !req
972. I think there's
a merger coming,
Copy !req
973. if not an
outright purchase—
Copy !req
974. And Axe Cap will have
positions in both companies,
Copy !req
975. ready for the ride up
on the announcement.
Copy !req
976. Well fucking done,
Ben Kim.
Copy !req
977. Maybe next time,
keep your shirt on...
Copy !req
978. What the fuck?
Copy !req
979. This is where you would make
some kind of reference
Copy !req
980. to a gangster
movie betrayal.
Copy !req
981. As in: I went
to the barber
Copy !req
982. and ended up on the floor
like Joey Gallo.
Copy !req
983. And you were the only one who
knew I was getting a haircut.
Copy !req
984. I probably would. Yeah.
Copy !req
985. But Joey Gallo got
killed at Umberto's.
Copy !req
986. It was Anastasia who got it
at the barber shop.
Copy !req
987. I didn't kill you.
Copy !req
988. You are standing here
in my office,
Copy !req
989. not bleeding out
on the linoleum.
Copy !req
990. Same difference
in our world.
Copy !req
991. What, exactly,
did you do?
Copy !req
992. - Breen.
- Bobby Axelrod.
Copy !req
993. Now I know
I'm in New York.
Copy !req
994. It's like seeing the Empire
State Building or something.
Copy !req
995. Well, I'm gonna give you
the view the tourists never get.
Copy !req
996. The floor above the deck with
the coin operated binocs.
Copy !req
997. Uh, what do I pay
for that privilege?
Copy !req
998. No, no, no, the question is:
what do I pay?
Copy !req
999. How do I get you to break
your letter of intent
Copy !req
1000. with Oscar Langstraat?
Copy !req
1001. Bought 50 percent of Breen's
company, at 200 million,
Copy !req
1002. which placed its paper
value at 400 total.
Copy !req
1003. Nasdaq have already confirmed
they are ready to accept
Copy !req
1004. our public offering at
a valuation of 2.4 billion.
Copy !req
1005. That is a billion
added to the value
Copy !req
1006. of our balance sheets
Copy !req
1007. and 800 million
in gains this month...
Copy !req
1008. It basically solves
our problem.
Copy !req
1009. You sold out my relationship
in order to do it.
Copy !req
1010. No, no. You did.
Copy !req
1011. That's why you told me
he was at your dinner.
Copy !req
1012. Congratulations,
by the way.
Copy !req
1013. You've earned out
on your advance
Copy !req
1014. and you're way
into bonus already.
Copy !req
1015. Hey—
Copy !req
1016. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
1017. No, you're not.
Copy !req
1018. What happened?
Copy !req
1019. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
1020. I just spoke to my dad.
Copy !req
1021. Mm.
Copy !req
1022. I figured you would.
Copy !req
1023. Was there really
no other fucking way
Copy !req
1024. that you could've
accessed that info?
Copy !req
1025. Perhaps. But I couldn't
think of one,
Copy !req
1026. and he was
happy to help.
Copy !req
1027. For me.
Copy !req
1028. Yes.
Copy !req
1029. And that's good for you.
Copy !req
1030. It's like a Senator
writing a letter
Copy !req
1031. nominating someone
to the Naval Academy.
Copy !req
1032. There's nothing to be
embarrassed about.
Copy !req
1033. I told you I need for
him to avoid jeopardy.
Copy !req
1034. And I need to
succeed on my own.
Copy !req
1035. As do I.
Copy !req
1036. And yet, I have
found my own father
Copy !req
1037. to be an endless
source of help.
Copy !req
1038. Especially when I'm certain
that I don't need it.
Copy !req
1039. I should be the one
to decide that, Chuck.
Copy !req
1040. Sometimes.
Copy !req
1041. But you came here
to work for me.
Copy !req
1042. Yeah, in a business
Copy !req
1043. that rewards
various connections
Copy !req
1044. and keeps track
of favors and chits.
Copy !req
1045. Sure, I did.
Copy !req
1046. Still, it just
feels, uh...
Copy !req
1047. Kind of shitty.
Copy !req
1048. Right.
Copy !req
1049. And also kind
of good, in a way,
Copy !req
1050. that my father
came through.
Copy !req
1051. And that you went to him.
And now I own that chit.
Copy !req
1052. Fuck.
Copy !req
1053. You really might have
taught me too well.
Copy !req
1054. That could bite
you someday.
Copy !req
1055. Well, I will gladly
take that chance
Copy !req
1056. to have you
with me today.
Copy !req
1057. My children. You'll notice
they don't whine.
Copy !req
1058. You've trained them well.
Copy !req
1059. Credit these women
with that—
Copy !req
1060. my wife, my ex,
my mother,
Copy !req
1061. but no.
Copy !req
1062. The kids came out that way.
We were lucky.
Copy !req
1063. Also, not American, which
when it comes to whining,
Copy !req
1064. really fucking helps.
Copy !req
1065. That it does.
Copy !req
1066. But you trained
yourself though.
Copy !req
1067. I took from you. You didn't
make a squeal or spill a tear.
Copy !req
1068. Very un-American.
Copy !req
1069. Would it have worked?
Copy !req
1070. Only to make me
never think of you again.
Copy !req
1071. And somehow like the man,
Teófilo Stevenson,
Copy !req
1072. you boxed your way
out of the corner
Copy !req
1073. and found a way
to cover your losses.
Copy !req
1074. Well, what were
the choices?
Copy !req
1075. Exactly as I'd see it.
Copy !req
1076. In the end, I decided
not to make the oil deal.
Copy !req
1077. For you?
Copy !req
1078. No.
Copy !req
1079. Eh, maybe a little bit.
Copy !req
1080. But now
I put the money back.
Copy !req
1081. Along with a promise
to give you a warning
Copy !req
1082. before I pull it again.
Copy !req
1083. Best I could hope for.
Copy !req
1084. I know you must've
broken things—
Copy !req
1085. people, deals,
Copy !req
1086. someone's hopes
and dreams—
Copy !req
1087. in order to get money
back into your firm.
Copy !req
1088. But you swallow
it, here, now,
Copy !req
1089. because this is
business and life
Copy !req
1090. and who cares
what it costs you?
Copy !req
1091. Indeed.
Copy !req
1092. I tell you...
Copy !req
1093. you must always have a
three year old in your house,
Copy !req
1094. to make you
appreciate life...
Copy !req
1095. And you must also have
your mother close.
Copy !req
1096. To keep
the line unbroken.
Copy !req
1097. There is plenty
I would kill for,
Copy !req
1098. you know,
if we're being honest.
Copy !req
1099. And there's no reason
not to be.
Copy !req
1100. But family, Axe,
Copy !req
1101. I would do things
for these people
Copy !req
1102. that you couldn't imagine.
Copy !req
1103. As they have
all done for me.
Copy !req
1104. Especially her,
my dear mama.
Copy !req
1105. You're the boy.
Copy !req
1106. Aren't you?
In your story.
Copy !req
1107. Who took the wine
from the stranger?
Copy !req
1108. If that were true,
Copy !req
1109. what would you be
saying about my mother?
Copy !req
1110. That she did what she had
to do to protect her family.
Copy !req
1111. And you.
Copy !req
1112. And didn't complain.
Copy !req
1113. I am fortunate
to have her.
Copy !req
1114. You are a fortunate
man, Grigor.
Copy !req
1115. We are both so.
Copy !req
1116. And fortunate to have
met when we did.
Copy !req
1117. Robert.
Copy !req
1118. Hi Mom.
Copy !req
