[Lara]
Previously on Billions...

2
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,469
When did it become a crime
to succeed in this country?

3
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,238
Everyone has access to the information.

4
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:16,998
We just know how to analyze it better.

5
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,232
Suspect trading pattern
on Pepsum Pharmaceuticals.

6
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,238
They had inside information.
You must get pings like that every day.

7
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:24,395
It's bigger than that.

8
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,239
All three firms
have links to Bobby Axelrod.

9
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:28,395
This would be a big one.

10
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,910
But a good matador doesn't try
to kill a fresh bull.

11
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,713
You wait until he's been stuck
a few times.

12
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:36,671
Why aren't you prosecuting
the investment banks

13
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,836
and hedge funds for insider trading?
14
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,599
Go ask the 81 convicted felons
of financial crimes

15
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:42,914
currently serving time.

16
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:44,996
But you have
a very specific conflict of interest

17
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:46,030
right in your own home.

18
00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:48,151
Your value to the firm is absolute.

19
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,350
I've been working there
since before we were married

20
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:51,913
and long before you were in office.

21
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:53,314
I work for the public good.

22
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,829
No, you work for the good
of Chuck Rhoades.

23
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:57,712
Maybe sometimes they intersect.

24
00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,273
You know the Norton place
out at the beach?

25
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,595
I just heard Bobby Axelrod
is trying to buy it.

26
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,199
- [Bryan] How much?
- [Kate] $83 million.
27
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,311
People hate guys
who buy things like that.

28
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,954
[Hall] You said there was only
one thing you were afraid of--

29
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,071
guys in windbreakers
walking in your office,

30
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:11,952
saying, "Step away from the computer."

31
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,275
And you told me you'd make sure
it wouldn't happen.

32
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:15,276
So let me make sure.

33
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:16,355
Steven Birch?

34
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:17,595
It's either him or you.

35
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,955
- Piedmont Capital.
- Yeah.

36
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,116
That swap deal he did
on Arcadian Railroad--

37
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,276
do an autopsy on the deal,

38
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,470
you'll find yourself
a Pulitzer in the carcass.

39
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:29,751
Front fucking page of the Post.
40
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:31,954
It's like he's daring you.

41
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:33,718
[Hall]
There's movement.

42
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,354
It's likely they've opened
a case file on you.

43
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,038
You know what?

44
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:39,235
I'm ready.

45
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,076
? pensive music ?

46
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:54,194
???

47
00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:59,314
? Nick Waterhouse 's
"High Tiding" playing ?

48
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,954
No, Pete, the gold standard
is never coming back.

49
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:03,991
And if it did,
this world would be so fucked,

50
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,236
I'd buy space travel, not gold.

51
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:07,998
Nice pitch, though.

52
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,429
If I'd have known it was a gold play,
I'd have never put him through.
53
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:11,993
Always put that lunatic through.

54
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,112
One out of every 200 ideas
he has is fucking brilliant.

55
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:16,998
- [knock on door]
- I got this.

56
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:22,629
Bad idea.

57
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,479
No man is a hero to his valet.

58
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:26,999
That goes double for his COO.

59
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,190
- So you are fucked with me either way.
- [scoffs]

60
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,470
Let's take a car
to the city instead of flying.

61
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,636
What's underneath this?

62
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,513
Look, if the U.S. Attorney
is really coming,

63
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:40,030
maybe it's better if we don't make you
more of a target.

64
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,152
And more important,
Garth Sykes from Flagship.

65
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,430
Hated seeing you
on the cover of the Post,
66
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,556
that goddamn oceanfront mansion.

67
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,557
Teachers in that pension fund
make 40 grand a year.

68
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,033
People who have it spend it.

69
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,436
People who don't have it like billies
better who spend on other folks.

70
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:55,470
Charity, good works.

71
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,556
I do, I have, and you know it.

72
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,955
Today they only remember the house.

73
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,957
I have a feeling
there'll be another one of us

74
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,389
on the front pages soon enough,
and they'll forget about that.

75
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,511
But if Flagship does try and withdraw...

76
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:08,153
We can't let him.

77
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,590
If Flagship pulls its $1.5 billion,
it gets public.

78
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,631
Other institutions go, too.

79
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,079
Whole thing could domino.

80
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,270
Get with Sykes, keep them on board.

81
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,039
Which is why I'm telling you
to keep it a little more low-key.

82
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:21,559
Who's more low-key than me?

83
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:22,994
[helicopter blades whirring]

84
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,238
? Not that it's wrong,
that it needs righting ?

85
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,676
? Just all alone ?

86
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,951
? I been high tiding ?

87
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,354
[door closes]

88
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:42,474
???

89
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:51,076
So the key to bagging Axe is...?

90
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:52,519
- Pete Decker.
- Oh.

91
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:53,595
His fund. It has to be.

92
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,553
We start with Decker since he had
the longest tenure at Axe Capital
93
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,989
of anyone who left with Axe's backing.

94
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,395
Get me some more of those
cold sesame noodles, would you?

95
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,750
No, these are--
these are dandan noodles.

96
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:05,950
[Chuck]
Same fucking thing.

97
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,230
No. No, one's Szechuan,
the other Taiwanese.

98
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:09,190
It's a whole thing.

99
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,231
You know, this is why
I don't mind the hours.

100
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,794
I'm always learning something on the job.
It's incredible.

101
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,797
Yeah, tell him
about General Tso's, Bryan.

102
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,433
Oh, no, he flings this shit at you, too?

103
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:18,959
Sprays it all around.

104
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:20,911
The only place
you've ever been is Asia,

105
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:22,393
you can't help yourself.
106
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,318
Here, indictments on that Ponzi thing.

107
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,158
Tell me about the General, Bryan.
Come on.

108
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:28,315
[Kate]
Well, now you've done it.

109
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,237
[laughs]

110
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,272
General Tso, he--he was
a statesman in the Qing Dynasty,

111
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,038
suppressed a revolution.

112
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,310
Oh, and now he has the true glory--

113
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,635
a fried-chicken dish named
for him the world over, huh?

114
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,159
That was created in America.

115
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:44,033
Maybe after we nail Axe,
they'll reciprocate--

116
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:45,673
name a dish after you in China, huh?

117
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,030
- Oh-ho. General Chuck's?
- [Kate laughs]

118
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,673
Really? What would that--
what would that look like,
119
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,313
a burger with the cheese cooked
on the inside?

120
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:52,270
[laughs]

121
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,437
You really think I could ever be
that richly honored?

122
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,278
Hey, I will make it so.

123
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,158
Not if we're still stuck.

124
00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:02,989
We need to find a way
to get Pete Decker on the hook, right?

125
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,908
Decker hires young, and he pays
at the top of the range.

126
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,917
Now, once these guys get a taste
for that kind of money,

127
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,678
they get--they get desperate
to keep it going.

128
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,950
Start tracking
all of his analysts and traders.

129
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,588
Next one makes a mistake,
we're right there.

130
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:16,835
[camera shutters clicking]

131
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,673
? mid-tempo music ?

132
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,519
[inhaling deeply]

133
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,357
Nice move.

134
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,914
Just like smoking in the girls' bathroom
at St. Mary's.

135
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,315
You had to be quick,
or you'd be over a nun's knee.

136
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,238
That's a fun picture to have in my head.

137
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,396
Mm. Yeah, they weren't
that kind of nun.

138
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:37,709
They looked like Dick Cheney.

139
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:40,194
[Bobby] Look at that.

140
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,551
That is such a shitty name
on such a great building.

141
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,678
Oh, don't.
Don't focus on that.

142
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,155
Think of all the good
that's going on here tonight.

143
00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:54,192
Can't.
It mars everything.

144
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,072
The name up there
should mean something.

145
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,033
Should add--
add to the luster of the place.

146
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:00,115
Just don't look.

147
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:01,992
I like the building.

148
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:04,509
How much?

149
00:06:08,280 --> 00:06:09,508
Good question.

150
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:13,912
They're about to pass the hat.

151
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,156
[Bobby]
Get rid of this for us, will you?

152
00:06:16,280 --> 00:06:17,554
Mm-hmm.

153
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,232
[inhales deeply]

154
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,597
???

155
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,711
[indistinct conversations]

156
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:32,315
- Bobby!
- Birchy!

157
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,192
Pchoo!
Blow it up.
158
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,280
[moaning]

159
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,994
? upbeat hip-hop music ?

160
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:42,348
Yeah, baby.

161
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,198
Ohhh.

162
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:45,389
Oh!

163
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,078
What are you doing to me?

164
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,350
You're making me weak.

165
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,436
[moaning, panting]

166
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:56,588
???

167
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,516
Time to power up.

168
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:05,917
[sniffs deeply]

169
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,553
Ohh!
[sniffs]

170
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,591
That hits the spot.
[chuckles]

171
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,073
Mmm.

172
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:15,475
[cell phone rings]

173
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,431
Oh, fuck.

174
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,039
It's work.

175
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,276
It's my work ring.
Jesus.

176
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:24,954
It's Kornbluth.

177
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,116
Thought you left white-collar crime
to cover the election.

178
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:28,468
That's true,

179
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,955
but I stumbled on to one
too good to give someone else.

180
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:32,911
Get to it.

181
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:34,029
What do you know

182
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,276
about Steven Birch
and Arcadian Railroad?

183
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:37,958
What?
What do you have?

184
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:39,229
Birch made a big play in the railroad,

185
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:43,797
captured 43% before good numbers
and expansion plans were announced

186
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,148
with inside information.

187
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:46,633
We want to know

188
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,193
where the U. S. Attorney
for the Southern District

189
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:49,839
stands on an investigation.

190
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,473
I 'm posting this on the Web
in five minutes.

191
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:52,635
It's already on the desk.

192
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,593
It'd be better
with a comment from you...

193
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:56,994
but I can't wait.

194
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,310
It's late. That might not be
enough time to get a comment.

195
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,351
I'm posting it.
We can't get beat on this story.

196
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,914
You can't run it
without a motherfucking quote.

197
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:05,871
[line clicks]

198
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,638
Oh, God.
199
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,034
[telephone rings]

200
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:10,275
Tara Mohr?

201
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,356
- [beep]
- Yeah, you're on speaker.

202
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,914
Financial Journal called
for comment on Steven Birch.

203
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:17,355
What about him?

204
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:18,629
They're running a story

205
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,352
that he made illegal trades
on Arcadian Railroad

206
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,238
and that the evidence
is incontrovertible.

207
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:24,639
Stall while we check.

208
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,193
But this sounds like bullshit.

209
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,153
I mean, how could the paper have that
before we do, or the FBl?

210
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,550
You know, I went to school
with a few guys who work for Birch.

211
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,035
- You want me to--
- [Chuck] Yes, right now.
212
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,476
Get Terri McCue over at FBl
up on this, too, now.

213
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:38,999
Right.

214
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,316
[indistinct conversations]

215
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,079
I'm not tolling any bells for you, Bobby.

216
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:45,394
Sounds a bit like you are.

217
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,158
There's a reason you retained my firm.

218
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,078
Ah, fuck the firm--
a bunch of rich, young lawyers.

219
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,998
There's a reason you retained me--me.

220
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,270
And that is...

221
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,437
I look far enough down the road
to let you avoid the speed traps.

222
00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:00,073
Okay.

223
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:01,474
What do you see?

224
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,598
U.S. Attorney needs to bag you.

225
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,393
Rhoades could bring it quick
or take two years.

226
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:08,316
Two years?

227
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:09,674
Then it becomes a three-front war--

228
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,950
P.R., redemptions,
and the government.

229
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,277
It's not too early to start a makeover
of the firm's culture.

230
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:16,879
What fucking culture?

231
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,433
Big returns that beat
the street by double digits

232
00:09:18,560 --> 00:09:20,437
year in, year out,
making our investors rich?

233
00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:22,437
- That culture?
- No, the rep.

234
00:09:22,560 --> 00:09:25,279
Smart money--
maybe a little too smart.

235
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,311
If they bring an action,

236
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,034
the whole strategy becomes
about leveraging a settlement--

237
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,116
a deferred prosecution agreement
and forfeiture

238
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:33,275
that lets you keep working.

239
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,029
And the best way to get that
is to act like you'd never settle.

240
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,434
I'd never settle.

241
00:09:38,560 --> 00:09:41,199
That's the public posture, for sure.

242
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,356
I'd never settle.

243
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,790
Yeah. That's a good delivery.
That'll work.

244
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,638
- [applause]
- [Penn] Thank you! Good evening!

245
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:49,954
I'm gonna go find my table.

246
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,878
[Penn]
Thank you. How you doing?

247
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,195
My name is Penn Jillette
of Penn & Teller,

248
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,636
and we're gonna give
as much money as we can.

249
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,318
I will hurt myself,

250
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,795
then you will hurt yourself with money.

251
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,309
Gonna look like this.

252
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,113
[applause]

253
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,634
Think about how much that hurts

254
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,270
and think about how good you would feel
if you gave a million dollars.

255
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:20,958
Who's giving a million dollars?
Stand up.

256
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:22,399
Come on!
A million dollars!

257
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,273
Starting at a stick.
Fuck it.

258
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,197
[Penn]
One million dollars!

259
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:29,799
I'll do it. I'll do it.

260
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:33,998
Oh! You're a good man!

261
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,634
No better than you.

262
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,471
[Penn] Wonderful. Wonderful.
That's good.

263
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,556
Who are the cheapskates
giving a half a million?

264
00:10:43,680 --> 00:10:44,510
Come on.

265
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,870
Come on, half a million up there.

266
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:49,349
Get the fuck up,

267
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,471
or people will think
I'm not paying you enough.

268
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:54,035
[applause continues]

269
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,197
[cell phone chimes, buzzes]

270
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:58,355
[Penn]
Can I see $250,000?

271
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,835
I'll get everybody
standing up eventually.

272
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,315
They will not let Teller go
unless everybody stands up.

273
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,000
How about $250,000 over here?

274
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:07,599
Holy shit.

275
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,109
Financial Journal just pasted Birch.

276
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,118

277
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,031

00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,431
? slow music ?

280
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:29,395
Anybody else?

281
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,875
Anybody giving $50,000?
How about $25,000?

282
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,508
He's gonna want that million back.

283
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,630
We need to go.

284
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,792
[Penn] Everybody should be
standing up at this point!

285
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,156
Hey. You need a minute
before we--

286
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:58,110
For what?

287
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,276
Pump-up sesh
for the morning meeting,

288
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:01,674
Iike every week.

289
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,233
Not happening.

290
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,397
Oh, what the fuck, Wend?
I count on it.

291
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,397
It's how I get in there
and deal with those animals.

292
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,636
Canceled until further notice.

293
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,955
You don't need it, not anymore.

294
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:14,991
You're the best P.M. on the floor.

295
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:16,997
You know it.

296
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:18,109
They're fucking sure of it.

297
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,515
Those animals are used to you
putting them down now.

298
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,596
Hardly even whimper as it happens.

299
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,354
Our sesh, while fun,
is a waste of your time.

300
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:26,913
And mine.

301
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:28,029
Go get 'em!

302
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,318
Fucking A.

303
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:35,635
[laughs]

304
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,910
You just did it, didn't you?

305
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:43,549
All right.

306
00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:44,749
Three feet apart, all right?

307
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,074
Tres, all right?

308
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,038
And mucha agua en la ma�ana.

309
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,316
Can you tell him no food
and lots of water in the morning?

310
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,112
- He knows.
- Does he? Yeah?

311
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,390
'Cause I don't feel like
I'm getting much back from him.

312
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,033
I know you get it.

313
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,071
You know Lou wants to do
zucchini flowers on special

314
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,953
now that the frost is gone,
so let's be ready when they come in.

315
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:03,035
You got it, boss.

316
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:04,229
[Wags]
All right, ladies and gentlemen.

317
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,271
We are up 32% year-to-date,

318
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,153
and we are open
to all moneymaking ideas.

319
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,953
Longs, shorts, sells, covers--

320
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:13,274
all Alpha welcome.

321
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,960
The choppy waters out there
are perfect...

322
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:17,035
for us.

323
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,879
For the average investor, hell, no.

324
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,788
But never forget--
what's bad for him is good for us,

325
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:28,198
if--if we're as smart as we think we are.

326
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,915
If not, the heat will melt us
like an Almond Joy in the sun.

327
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:32,956
[laughter]

328
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,759
So are you smart enough?

329
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,313
Some of us fucking are.

330
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,112
[laughter]

331
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:40,309
How about you, Pouch?

332
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,517
How am I supposed to answer that?

333
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:44,868
You already have.

334
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,513
Sadly.

335
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,995
What happened on Eureka Trans-ship?

336
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:50,394
You knew they were gonna
whiff their numbers.

337
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:51,999
Why didn't you bang the short harder?

338
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:53,633
You left five fucking percent
on the table.

339
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,991
I thought they were gonna whiff,
but I didn't know.

340
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,190
You are such a pussy on the short side.

341
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:00,594
[laughter]

342
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,039
Go home and get
your fucking shine box.

343
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:03,354
Insulted him a little bit.

344
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:04,799
Yeah, a little bit.

345
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,115
Axe, you saw my position.
You could have upped him.
346
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:08,554
That's what I'm paying you for.

347
00:14:08,680 --> 00:14:10,318
You see an opportunity like that again,

348
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,079
you grab it like it's a horse cock
and you're Catherine the Great.

349

[laughter]

350
00:14:14,680 --> 00:14:16,159
Okay, okay, okay.

351
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:20,068
Saldana, why are we still tied up
in those hospitals?

352
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:21,428
Baby boomers.

353
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,437
They're getting old,
so they're getting sick.

354
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,232
When the group reports patient volumes,

355
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,078
it's gonna overshoot street expectations.

356
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,156
We're talking 1 0% move.

357
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,430
That incremental revenue
will drop right to the bottom line,

358
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,597
and the stock's gonna pop
like a prom queen's cherry.

359
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:35,630
[laughter]

360
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:37,273
Good fucking answer.

361
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,038
It really is.
God damn it.

362
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:40,912
Okay, new-idea time.

363
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,031
[man clears throat]

364
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,435
Donnie Caan, what do you have for us?

365
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,430
I think Apple still has room
to move north.

366
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,232
Really?

367
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,913
Our investors pay us
a three percent management fee

368
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:57,672
and 30% of their profits,

369
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,758
and you want me to tell them
we're buying some fucking Apple?

370
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:03,195
Sorry, Axe.

371
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,108
I-I guess I'm just not seeing
the matrix right now.

372
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:08,878
That's a little unsettling, Donnie,
373
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,468
since seeing the matrix
is your entire fucking job.

374
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,272
It's kind of like if you were a hurdler

375
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,391
and instead of jumping
over the fucking hurdles--

376
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,112
It's okay, Donnie.

377
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:18,514
You'll see it again.

378
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:19,629
Hang in.

379
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,274
Okay, guys?

380
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,078
Let's go out there,
bring some meat back to camp.

381
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:25,918
Or some nuts.

382
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:27,109
Hunt or gather.

383
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,037
[indistinct conversations]

384
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,434
I'm sorry. I tried to give you
the heads-up, but...

385
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,156
[Steve]
Phones down.

386
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,430
We're SEC Compliance.

387
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,596
I need all portfolio managers
and analysts

388
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,153
to return to their desks.

389
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:46,918
Traders, stay here.

390
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,554
The case officers will meet each pod

391
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,195
and expect full cooperation.

392
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,316
Better answer their questions.

393
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:58,714
Cooperate.

394
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,473
This group of energy trades--

395
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,670
I'd like you to supply
the research behind them.

396
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,155
I was tasked, so I supplied it.

397
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,236
Right, but going through your reports,
I see gaps.

398
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,472
Like this Boardwalk Pipeline move--
what supported it?

399
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,477
It was an event-driven strategy.

400
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,513
Okay, it was based on an unsolicited tip.

401
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,279
The trade was near 1 00,000 shares.

402
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:25,030
Close to a $2.5 million position
based on a rumor.

403
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,037
It seemed...

404
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,037
solid.

405
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,833
Looking at telecom--this Verizon trade?

406
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,190
It's part of an event-driven macroplay.

407
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:35,719
Bullshit.

408
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:38,719
All right, I got a tip.

409
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,273
And the pharmaceutical trades?

410
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:41,833
That was phone-a-tip.

411
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,315
Incoming tip.
What am l, a fucking schmuck?

412
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:45,799
Of course I'm gonna listen.

413
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,559
That was a prom-night promise.

414
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:50,033
And that means...?

415
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:51,673
"Just the tip."

416
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,955
So this is your entire book
and trading history

417
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:56,399
for the past three months?

418
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:57,714
That's right.

419
00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:58,795
Wow.

420
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:00,479
Bit of a rough patch, huh?

421
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,511
Seriously?

422
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,670
Gonna need to see your trades
for the past 90 days.

423
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:07,472
Unless you got a Wells notice
with my name on it,

424
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,192
you're not gonna see jack shit.

425
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:10,992
Come on, we can pull it all down
from the server anyway,

426
00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:12,519
so you may as well cooperate.

427
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,198
Mm. Good point.

428
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:15,230
Lawyer.

429
00:17:15,360 --> 00:17:17,032
Your boss said you should cooperate.

430
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,037
Oh. Lawyer.

431
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:20,718
Just answer the question.

432
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,194
You answer me one.

433
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:24,958
How much do you make?

434
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:26,911
[knock on door]

435
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,952
I'm gonna need access
to your files, paper, and computer.

436
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:32,229
For what?

437
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:33,958
I'm authorized to check
that all trades comply--

438
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:35,069
I'm not a trader.

439
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,470
Whatever you call yourself,
after I review--

440
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,353
My files are confidential.
You're not seeing them.

441
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,436
You can call the Attorney General
if you want,
442
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,391
and tell her I say "hi" if you do.

443
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:45,919
We had dinner last month.

444
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,150
Otherwise, fuck off.

445
00:17:49,360 --> 00:17:52,238
? dramatic music ?

446
00:17:52,360 --> 00:17:57,354
???

447
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,514
Enough. Okay.
Enough.

448
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,796
[claps hands]

449
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:05,990
I hope you enjoyed
the lifeboat drill this morning.

450
00:18:06,120 --> 00:18:07,348
[man]
Are you kidding me?

451
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,078
We did not do well.

452
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,953
In fact, we sank.

453
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,958
If it were a real SEC raid,
we would have been fucked.

454
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,071
Get the fuck out of here.
[scoffs]

455
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:18,514
I shit my pants for nothing?

456
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,596
I didn't do this for my amusement.

457
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,631
What happened to Steven Birch--

458
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,957
who I am sure will be cleared
of any wrongdoing--

459
00:18:26,120 --> 00:18:26,996
it could happen to us.

460
00:18:27,120 --> 00:18:29,509
So we need to be prepared.

461
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,232
To that end, say hello

462
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:34,079
to our new and improved
Compliance Department.

463
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:35,872
[Bill]
These assholes work here now?

464
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:37,353
That they do.

465
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,597
They're here for our support
and our protection,

466
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,432
and you will not even be taking a piss

467
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,393
without them close enough
to give it a shake.

468
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:49,075
From here on,
we evaluate every move,

469
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,839
not just for the upside,
but for its ethical grounding.

470
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:52,995
We have to be more pure

471
00:18:53,120 --> 00:18:55,076
than the Virgin Mary
before her first period.

472
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,350
Fuck, Wags.

473
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:01,189
How the hell are we supposed
to make any money?

474
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,231
You think this is a joke, Victor?

475
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,116
You, in particular, were flagged.

476
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:08,559
Flagged?

477
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,752
Your short on that chip maker.

478
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,638
Eleva Peripherals.

479
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:17,912
Netted 38% fresh blubber
on that seal hunt.

480
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,998
Rotten carcass--over the line.

481
00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:24,271
We're lucky the SEC
hasn't come calling already.
482
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:25,674
You're done.

483
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,233
Fired.

484
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:29,952
Clear out.

485
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:31,559
Leave your key cards.

486
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:36,674
? suspenseful music ?

487
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:40,912
This is bullshit.

488
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,679
I didn't do anything out of bounds,
no more than anyone else.

489
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,153
Did I sign off on that trade?

490
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:46,474
No, I did not.

491
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,431
Don't say anything else.

492
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,996
I trusted you
with my name and my capital,

493
00:19:52,120 --> 00:19:53,792
and you fucked me.

494
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,996
You put us all at risk

495
00:19:56,120 --> 00:19:57,997
with your deceitful, illegal moves.

496
00:19:58,120 --> 00:20:00,031
Now get out of here.

497
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:05,154
???

498
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,077
All right, everybody, back at it.

499
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,237
Play hard, play clean.

500
00:20:14,360 --> 00:20:17,113
Be careful out there.

501
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:18,639
That was a hell of a public spanking.

502
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,159
Make sure our investors
know about it.

503
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:21,435
On it.

504
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,028
I'm gonna make sure Garth Sykes
hears about it ASAP.

505
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,031
You're gonna be a god
on the street by lunchtime.

506
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:27,315
I thought I already was one.

507
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,237
- Greater god.
- [scoffs]

508
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,469
Don't you fucking touch me!

509
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,079
Or my cell phone.
510
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,152
[door opens, closes]

511
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,192
[keys clacking]

512
00:20:50,360 --> 00:20:53,318
I was going to tell you
about the compliance gag,

513
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,471
but you didn't show up
at the charity dinner,

514
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:56,715
and then...

515
00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:00,037
Then I was half a hallway
from your office.

516
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:01,593
Try again.

517
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,756
Honest?
It was an oversight.

518
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:05,956
No, it wasn't.
You don't make them.

519
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:06,956
And that matters.

520
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,594
But what matters more
right now is that Victor

521
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,359
is exactly the wrong person
to fire that way.

522
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:13,629
That was spur of the moment.
523
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,115
It was a spur-of-the-moment fuck-up.

524
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:18,991
His entire psychological makeup

525
00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:22,192
sets him up to react very poorly
to public humiliation.

526
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,153
The same things that made him
a profit center for you

527
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,317
will make him a difficult adversary
if he's not handled right.

528
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:29,919
He will stew and obsess

529
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,270
and find a way to exact revenge on you.

530
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,071
Okay.
I can see that.

531
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:36,474
Will you fix it?

532
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,074
Go do it, please.

533
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,077
I made a mistake not looping you in.

534
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:45,235
I admit that.

535
00:21:45,360 --> 00:21:47,555
"Mistake."

536
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,238
Last chance.
537
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:51,951
Okay.

538
00:21:52,120 --> 00:21:53,439
It was a red team drill.

539
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,199
I wanted everybody to react
as they would naturally.

540
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,151
I left you out on purpose.

541
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:05,792
And I will make it up to you.

542
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,513
Please deal with Victor.

543
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,675
Sean Ayles, please.
It's Lara Axelrod.

544
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:20,268
Sean. Hi.

545
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:21,873
This is the call you've been waiting for.

546
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,309
I wanted to talk to you
about making a donation.

547
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:25,509
[chuckles]

548
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,029
I figured you would.

549
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,475
And about naming rights.

550
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,478
[Sean] And so the names
on these buildings

551
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,068
become more than just identifiers.

552
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:40,796
They become signifiers of a grander age,

553
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:45,158
when titans of industry understood
that the purpose of their wealth

554
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,989
was to support the performative arts
to improve the quality of life

555
00:22:49,120 --> 00:22:52,635
for all those who live in
and visit this city.

556
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,591
Now give me the Gettysburg Address.

557
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,712
I'm sorry.
That...sounded rehearsed.

558
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:02,753
I'm vamping.

559
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:04,950
[clears throat]
I'm in a difficult spot.

560
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:06,035
No. Yeah, I know,

561
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,948
because what you need to tell me
is that the Eads family

562
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,993
owns the naming rights
to this building in perpetuity.

563
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,913
But I'm here offering you $1 00 million,

564
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,275
which you need to extract somehow

565
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,470
without giving me what I want.

566
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:24,713
I'm in a difficult spot.

567
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:26,996
No. Yeah, I know.

568
00:23:27,120 --> 00:23:30,476
Also, "performative"
does not mean "performance."

569
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:33,758
Most donors like an air of--

570
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:35,199
I don't.

571
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:38,957
There are other naming opportunities
on the ground

572
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,275
that would give you the status
and sense of permanence

573
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:42,429
that you need.

574
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,949
Why is this building so important to you?

575
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,120
Here's why it's important to you.

576
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,113
It's the only way you are getting
even a dollar out of me.

577
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:53,952
Now, I happen to have discovered

578
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,116
that the remaining members
of the Eads family

579
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,071
are in a financial pinch.

580
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,031
They need to raise cash.

581
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,118
And they will have a hard time getting
a hold of the kind of loan they need

582
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,037
to pay off their other loans.

583
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:09,278
So I want you to tell them
that I will pay them $25 million

584
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,915
to allow me to replace their family name

585
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:14,951
with mine.

586
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,275
Then I will donate the 1 00,

587
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,675
and you can begin your renovations.

588
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,678
? pensive music ?

589
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,031
???

590
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:27,229
Oh.

591
00:24:29,360 --> 00:24:32,875
There is one condition
I'll need you to sign off on.

592
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,999
[keys jingling]

593
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,515
- [gasps]
- Don't scream.

594
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,198
Look there.

595
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,675
[moaning]

596
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,314
What the fuck?

597
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:49,429
Get out.

598
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:50,629
I'm calling the police.

599
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:52,552
You don't want to do that, Tara.

600
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:54,549
Who the fuck are you?

601
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:55,709
[moaning continues]

602
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,319
Your newest and bestest.

603
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,671
You should stay and listen to me.

604
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,360
Or else this goes viral.

605
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:04,873
You're making me weak.

606
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,070
"You're making me weak."

607
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:08,872
[scoffs]

608
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,355
We have--we have training against this.

609
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,914
You think you're gonna
fucking blackmail me?

610
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,076
So what?
I fuck girls, guys.

611
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,037
Who cares?
Everyone fucks.

612
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,078
That thing has no chance
to compromise me.

613
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:22,792
I hope it at least gets you off, man.

614
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,600
What gets me off would disturb you

615
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,109
at such a deep level, honey,

616
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,629
you'd be best served
never to think about it again.

617
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,749
Folks in your line care
about that kind of thing, though.

618
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,711
And this--
619
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,912
your hair...

620
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,634
which will test positive for cocaine,

621
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:52,435
can be in Chuck Rhoades' hands
within an hour.

622
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,553
You're gonna watch, listen, and report,

623
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,069
and everything's gonna be fine.

624
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,437
It's a lot to take in.

625
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:08,593
We've already gone through
all of this crap.

626
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,109
I heard back from my sources.

627
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,515
There's a war room set up at Birch's--

628
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,517
Iawyers, accountants, the whole thing.

629
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,596
Guys at his shop
are prepping their r�sum�s.

630
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,513
Well, if it was just smoke,
they'd issue a denial.

631
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:21,954
Keep working.

632
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,355
Yeah. They're treating
this article like it's a warrant.

633
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:28,109
Somebody wanted to hurt Birch,
and they wanted us on the ass end.

634
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,959
So they leaked it.

635
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:32,115
And I do not like it.

636
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,435
We need the reins back in our hands.

637
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:35,595
Understood.

638
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,597
You want me to stay
on this Axe/Decker thing or...?

639
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,995
No. Set that aside.

640
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,277
Until we know at least as much
as this fucking reporter knows,

641
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,231
Iet's keep the brights on Steven Birch.

642
00:26:45,360 --> 00:26:46,395
All right.

643
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:47,555
Get me every article

644
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,116
Randy Kornbluth wrote
in the past year.

645
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,310
All of Mike Dimonda's articles, too.
646
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:54,589
We'll start there.

647
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:09,358
Mike.

648
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,875
[car door opens]

649
00:27:15,120 --> 00:27:17,873
Good parlor trick, knowing my address.

650
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,991
That'll look like
a fun intimidation tactic

651
00:27:20,120 --> 00:27:21,314
when I write this up.

652
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,989
Oh, you're not writing this up,
because that would be a small win,

653
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,435
and you're not in it for small wins.

654
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,755
No, you've come too far.
Too young an age for that.

655
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:31,996
No, I'm in it because people
deserve to know the truth

656
00:27:32,120 --> 00:27:33,235
- about power and money and--
- Whoa. Wait a minute.

657
00:27:33,360 --> 00:27:36,511
What are you, Glenn Greenwald
all of a sudden?

658
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:37,834
- Come on.
- [both chuckle]
659
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,240
You know, I've, uh--
I've been reading...

660
00:27:42,360 --> 00:27:44,555
Randy Kornbluth lately.

661
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,188
He usually covers state politics.

662
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,790
He hasn't had a hard business story
in 1 8 months,

663
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,469
but all of a sudden, he hooks
into a full-blown crime story...

664
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,033
on Steven Birch.

665
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:58,673
His article quotes

666
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,872
former federal prosecutor
James Robbins,

667
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:02,955
who says that the connection

668
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,594
between hedge funds
and company officials

669
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,472
must be probed.

670
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,474
You know who else
likes quoting James Robbins?

671
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,079
You.

672
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,555
Seven times in the past six months.

673
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,193
He's a widely respected source
with connections--

674
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,436
He's a fucking rent-a-quote.

675
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,916
I know you really wrote the Birch story,

676
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,999
and I think I know
why you chose to hide that fact.

677
00:28:27,120 --> 00:28:28,917
If I am such a careerist,

678
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:30,678
why would I ever hide
something that good?

679
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,109
'Cause you thought
it would endear you to someone.

680
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:36,599
What you should have done,

681
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,075
if you were really playing
an elevated game,

682
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,714
was come to me with what you had.

683
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,912
See, if I had something better to give you
in exchange for you holding on to it--

684
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,508
You have never been willing
to play any kind of game with me.

685
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,915
I didn't know you were ready
to play in the bigs, man.

686
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:51,593
Now I do.

687
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,278
So these are the rules.

688
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:54,879
You tell me who fed you that--

689
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:56,553
No.

690
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,955
I'm gonna head inside,

691
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:00,911
because this conversation has peaked,

692
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:04,396
and you don't get to tell me the rules.

693
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:05,839
You're correct.

694
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,110
I'm not gonna write up this ambush.

695
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:09,639
But I can...

696
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,320
anytime I want to.

697
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,590
So think about that the next time

698
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,950
you try and bar me
from a press conference

699
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:18,559
or dodge my call.

700
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,352
Have a good night.

701
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:23,833
[keys jingle]

702
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:28,078
[door opens, closes]

703
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,118
? tense music ?

704
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,310
???

705
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,271
All right.
Thank you.

706
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:41,952
Uh...

707
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,594
you know what?

708
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,228
Here's the 20 for whatever the guy
in the blue shirt back there wants.

709
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,112
- [man] I got you.
- Okay, thank you.

710
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:50,832
Okay, guys, let's go.
Come on.

711
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,394
Now, you guys remember
when we threw Grandpa

712
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,279
a surprise party for his birthday
and we all had to keep the secret?
713
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:57,310
Yeah.

714
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,232
Okay. Why do we
have to keep the secret?

715
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:00,469
To make Grandpa happy.

716
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,397
Right.
So this is like that, okay?

717
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,796
We don't tell anyone about the doughnuts
to make Mommy happy.

718
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:06,989
Okay?

719
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,156
Rhoades!

720
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,317
Don't you walk away
before you meet my kids.

721
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,352
Mr. Kroll, we are in a public place...

722
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,040
with, uh, as you say, our children.

723
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,038
Uh, why don't you guys go sit
on the bench over there, okay?

724
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,799
Take your sister over there.

725
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:26,990
I-I don't need your, um...

726
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:28,997
kindness now.

727
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,270
I-I needed it at sentencing.

728
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,670
This is Margo and Stevie.

729
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:39,836
Hello.

730
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:41,996
I kept them out of school today
so we could be together

731
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,076
because I go to prison tomorrow.

732
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,159
How do you live with yourself?

733
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:49,753
- How?
- Yeah.

734
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:52,229
I think long and hard

735
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:56,558
before any prosecution
in my office goes forward.

736
00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:00,150
And I'm proudest of the cases
I choose not to prosecute.

737
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,716
But when I go forward, it's full guns.

738
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,269
I made one goddamn mistake.

739
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,789
And who got hurt?
740
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:09,750
No one.

741
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:10,790
You could have let it go.

742
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:11,909
You committed mail fraud.

743
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,350
And you knew that my wife had died...

744
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,198
suddenly...

745
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,550
and that I was desperate and lost.

746
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:20,635
You read the articles.

747
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,318
You--you got letters from 1 00 people

748
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,789
who vouched for the man
that I was and would be again.

749
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,432
I'm what those kids have left.

750
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:33,678
And they won't have me again
for four years.

751
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,071
Have a nice stroll with yours.

752
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:38,553
And take your fucking $20

753
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,638
or just leave it here
for the birds to pick at.
754
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:45,315
Let's go, kids.

755
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,396
Daddy's done with this asshole.

756
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:53,875
[Butch]
You wanted to see me?

757
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:55,479
Hey.

758
00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:01,471
I want to give you a short
that you're not gonna bail on too quick.

759
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:02,794
Do you know Cross-Co.?

760
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:04,797
Cross-Co. Trucking.
I've been tracking it.

761
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:05,796
Mid-size firm,

762
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,469
has a big distribution contract
with that bakery company YumTime.

763
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,477
Been holding 50.

764
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,636
Fundamentals are solid.

765
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:15,398
I don't see the short play.

766
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,159
I don't need you to see it.
I need you to do it.

767
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,635
We'll get 50 on the tape.
We'll size up later.

768
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,793
You got a fucking problem with this?

769
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:27,109
No.

770
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:34,355
[Wags sighs]

771
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,072
You plug that investor leakage?

772
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,111
I thought I'd done exactly that,

773
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,629
but I haven't been able
to get Garth Sykes on the phone.

774
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,073
He bails, it hurts us.

775
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:44,952
Yeah. I tried.

776
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,150
But I think I need you
to show face with this guy.

777
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:48,952
You got this.

778
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:50,149
That's why I have you.

779
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:51,673
[keys clacking]

780
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,519
[birds chirping]

781
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,596
That fucker thinks that
if you come running over here,

782
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,598
I'm gonna forget he fired me
in front of everyone I know?

783
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:01,153
Who knows what he thinks?

784
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,032
One minute,
you're his most trusted advisor,

785
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,196
the next, you're on the outside.

786
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,038
I'm here because...

787
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:08,991
I think you might
make it worse for yourself,

788
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:10,030
and I don't want to see that.

789
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,276
The money I made him...

790
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,118
He treated me like a lowlife.

791
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,310
And that's a trigger for you.

792
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,317
Everyone laughing at me growing up.

793
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:19,793
The dyslexia.

794
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:21,353
Even the teachers.

795
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,072
I sent every one of those pricks

796
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,430
a photo of my first
million-dollar bonus check.

797
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,870
That made you feel really good
for about 24 hours,

798
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:30,149
and then you hated yourself

799
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,555
for letting them know
they ever got to you.

800
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:33,715
Kind of.

801
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:35,910
Sometimes.

802
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:37,792
This is different.

803
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,354
I know plenty
about how Axe Capital works--

804
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,038
the dirty edge,

805
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,515
the proprietary trading techniques.

806
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,790
- I know how the secret sauce is made.
- Yeah.

807
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,600
I'm sure you could put out
a Schott's Miscellany about the place.

808
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:50,550
Schott's?

809
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,558
It's like a Farmers' Almanac
for non-farm stuff.

810
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,433
Then, yeah, I could put out
a couple of volumes

811
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,152
of Schott's Miscellany about the place.

812
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,589
You just need to ask yourself
one question first--

813
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,359
are you rich enough
to never get another job?

814
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,596
I did work for that man.

815
00:34:09,720 --> 00:34:11,233
Bribed an oil company CFO for him--

816
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:12,913
Stop talking.

817
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:14,917
We're not in session.
That's not privileged.

818
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,476
Point is, I got all muddied up for him.

819
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,273
Hard not to rub it
on his clean, white shirt now.

820
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,278
? dramatic electronic music ?

821
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:25,628
???
822
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,069
Remember Warren Jaffin, the analyst?

823
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:30,433
Yeah.

824
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:31,959
Bright guy?

825
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:33,069
That kid was sharp.

826
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,077
Employable?

827
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:36,269
Real sharp, yeah.

828
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,073
Then he balked at his bonus
one year and got popped.

829
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,953
He got another job right away
at a huge bank--

830
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:43,957
Three million a year, guaranteed.

831
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:45,229
Only, word got back to Axe

832
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,316
that Warren had badmouthed him
in the interview,

833
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,596
said Axe wasn't generous with him.

834
00:34:49,720 --> 00:34:52,792
So Axe called the head of the bank,

835
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:56,629
asked him to pull the offer that day,
which the guy did.

836
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:58,318
???

837
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,271
Can you imagine...

838
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,868
how humiliating that was for Warren?

839
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,231
Probably told his whole family,
all his friends that he was back.

840
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,112
But Axe didn't leave it there.

841
00:35:08,240 --> 00:35:10,231
He called the president or chairman

842
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,238
of every prime broker, bank,
and fund in the industry

843
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,112
and had him blackballed.

844
00:35:15,240 --> 00:35:18,312
Put it out over the loudspeaker,
direct from the principal's office--

845
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,830
"lf you hire Warren Jaffin,
you are my enemy."

846
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:23,279
???

847
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,756
Do you know what Warren does now?

848
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:28,313
???

849
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:30,192
He's got a blog.

850
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,958
You've built a real life
for yourself, Victor--

851
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:37,513
a long way from Queens.

852
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:38,675
[sighs]

853
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:40,950
If Axe is certain
you'll act like a gentleman,

854
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,469
he will make sure to take care of you.

855
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,913
You were the one that always told me
to stand up for myself.

856
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:51,390
When you can win, yes.

857
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:55,035
The only way you can win now
is by letting it go.

858
00:35:55,160 --> 00:36:00,154
???

859
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,630
You know,
I have to confess to something.

860
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:05,875
Okay.

861
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:07,194
[sighs]
You're not gonna like it.

862
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:08,992
Fire away.

863
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,873
I took the kids for doughnuts.

864
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:13,991
I know.

865
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:15,678
Kevin told me.

866
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:18,116
Good.

867
00:36:18,240 --> 00:36:19,878
Oh.

868
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:20,876
You're glad he cracked?

869
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,037
No, I never want them
to keep secrets from you.

870
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,589
They're gonna keep them from me
their entire teenage years.

871
00:36:26,720 --> 00:36:30,156
They should at least know
that they can always confide in you.

872
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:34,717
And among your many gifts,
that is a great one.

873
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:38,469
Everyone feels like
you're always on their side.

874
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,910
Well, I try to be, or at least...

875
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:43,792
understand
where they're coming from.
876
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:45,678
That's the wonderful part of your job.

877
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,189
You get to employ your empathy.

878
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:53,235
I have to be a real prick sometimes,
you know...

879
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:55,679
at work.

880
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:57,950
Yeah.

881
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:01,277
Sometimes, we all do things
we're not proud of at work.

882
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,231
Well, this is different.

883
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:06,715
When I was in the park
with the kids,

884
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,520
there was this guy who...

885
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:12,710
Specifics don't matter.

886
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:15,229
What does is

887
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:19,239
that every once in a while,
there's this thing we say--

888
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:20,509
"l am never so proud

889
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:24,553
as when I choose
not to prosecute a case."

890
00:37:24,720 --> 00:37:27,951
And that's true, in theory.

891
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:32,312
But once in a while,
I wish that I could just be more...

892
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,556
...human.

893
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,148
? pensive music ?

894
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:41,111
But I haven't figured out
how to do that

895
00:37:41,240 --> 00:37:44,312
and my job at the same time.

896
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:45,475
You know?

897
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:49,309
Being 1 00% good at your job...

898
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,237
???

899
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,999
...and 1 00% good...

900
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,031
???

901
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:59,152
If you figure that one out,
let's both quit and write that book.

902
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:01,555
???

903
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,558
? exotic music ?

904
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:06,830
[men groaning]

905
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,838
[chuckles softly]

906
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,918
It's a luxury to relax
every once in a while, isn't it, Garth?

907
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,634
I remember this place--fondly.

908
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,991
Look, the stability of this firm
has never been in question.

909
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:24,669
I need to look into Axelrod's eyes,
hear him say it.

910
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:26,552
Yeah, he will.

911
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:28,352
I just wanted to hear you first.

912
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:30,994
I may be from Kentucky, but I'm no rube.

913
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:32,354
I don't bet on long shots

914
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,153
when it comes to investing
the pensions of my members.

915
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,556
That's why they trust me
with their $5 billion.

916
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,752
I get nervous, I see someone
like Axelrod running around

917
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,639
spending his money
like he's a goddamn rap singer.

918
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,519
Emcee.
Like a rap emcee.

919
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,108
No, some of 'em sing now.
My kids showed me.

920
00:38:50,240 --> 00:38:52,834
Snoop and Kid Rock both.

921
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:56,873
You're right.
You are no rube.

922
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,468
But Bobby Axelrod isn't either.

923
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,478
We've crushed the S&P
seven years running,

924
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:05,876
which means
you have crushed the S&P.

925
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:07,672
[woman]
You turn over now.

926
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:09,028
[groans]

927
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,317
Everyone beats it, till they don't.

928
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:15,477
When I can I see Axe,
talk to him about it?

929
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,068
You don't want to rush off now, do you?

930
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:19,474
[both moan]

931
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,478
? tense music ?

932
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:24,397
???

933
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:27,478
Here's McCue.
She got some stuff on Birch.

934
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:29,830
You are gonna love my nuts.

935
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:31,837
Pierre Bernard,

936
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,030
Iongtime CFO of the Arcadian,

937
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:35,912
gets passed over for CEO,

938
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:40,033
gets censured internally
for certain financial improprieties.

939
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,435
Press clippings I thought you might want.

940
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:44,596
And Bernard interviews
for a job with Birch

941
00:39:44,720 --> 00:39:45,914
shortly before the trades.

942
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,713
Mm-hmm. We have secretaries
on both sides confirming the meet.
943
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:52,879
Birch's trades on Arcadian
occur a half hour afterward.

944
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:54,672
We alerted our counterparts up north.

945
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:56,677
The railroad has fired Bernard.

946
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:58,597
The Canadians
are considering prosecution.

947
00:39:58,720 --> 00:40:00,756
He's ready to make
a statement implicating Birch.

948
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:02,438
At Quantico, they call a case
this straightforward--

949
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:03,959
Nobody cares.

950
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:05,752
Of course not.
Why would they?

951
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:07,717
Rookies always bring up Quantico.

952
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:11,158
Uh, do you need something else?

953
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:15,277
Let me know if you need
PDF backups of those.

954
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:16,276
Will do.

955
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:17,389
He is right, though.

956
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:19,596
- This Birch thing's a dunker.
- Yeah.

957
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,430
Dominique all day.

958
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,588
Wilkins!

959
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:37,354
???

960
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:44,635
So tomorrow morning
when the arrest warrant is issued,

961
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:48,070
along with a search warrant,
we meet near Birch's firm, all right?

962
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,475
- Mm-hmm.
- You guys take him, we take his records.

963
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:52,352
- Hey, quick question.
- Alan.

964
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:53,515
Are we gonna handcuff him?

965
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:55,153
Yeah, obviously.

966
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:57,475
And what about the SEC?
Should we alert them?

967
00:40:57,640 --> 00:40:58,629
We already have.

968
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,069
- [Terri] Press?
- Probably, all right?

969
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:02,952
I mean, those news cameras

970
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:05,469
just have a way of showing up
at the right time, don't they?

971
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:07,272
[laughter]

972
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:08,793
[man] So we're gonna
hit him full on, right?

973
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:10,797
[echoing] Yeah. We'll get
local law enforcement there

974
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:12,353
on the perimeter,
but with the lights out.

975
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:13,674
[laughter]

976
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:17,509
[talking continues indistinctly, echoes]

977
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:20,393
All right, any more questions?
We're good?

978
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:23,557
[talking continues indistinctly, echoes]

979
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:24,669
Bryan?

980
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:28,349
???

981
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:30,311
Let's put a pin in the arrest.

982
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:31,270
Boss?
983
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:32,549
Get Birch in here.

984
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:33,954
It's time to settle.

985
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:35,911
No, no. N-no way.

986
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:39,032
We--we have him dead to rights
on this trial.

987
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,151
I'm first chair.
T-then it's jail for this jamoke.

988
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,589
We have him dead to rights,
so he'll fold quick,

989
00:41:43,720 --> 00:41:46,712
and then we get back to
what we were doing--Axelrod.

990
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:50,719
I'm not letting us follow
the riderless horse any longer.

991
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:51,795
Wait.
Riderless h--

992
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,150
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

993
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:55,753
They were smart.

994
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:00,034
They sent one of their horses
off in a different direction

995
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:02,873
so the posse would have to split up...
996
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,156
get distracted.

997
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:09,114
But this was no ordinary posse.

998
00:42:09,240 --> 00:42:12,550
This was a super posse--
the super posse.

999
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:14,477
Mixed group of superheroes--

1000
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:16,909
a sheriff, a marshal, an lndian.

1001
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:18,519
Native American.

1002
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:20,396
Sure.

1003
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:21,635
And the Cherokee,

1004
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,035
man, he could read
the depth of the impression

1005
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:27,072
the horse's hooves made on rock.

1006
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:31,113
And when he realized they were
chasing a riderless horse...

1007
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:35,677
...they got right back on Butch's trail.

1008
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:37,796
I remember now.

1009
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:41,993
I watched it with my dad
on one of the Saturdays he showed up.

1010
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,674
I didn't root for the super posse.

1011
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:46,392
I rooted for Butch and Sundance.

1012
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:48,795
Of course you did.
We all did.

1013
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:50,598
[chuckles]

1014
00:42:50,720 --> 00:42:53,188
But that's not who we are anymore.

1015
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:58,314
???

1016
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:02,232
[indistinct conversations]

1017
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:05,352
[light piano music playing]

1018
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:07,393
How are you, Bobby?

1019
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:11,030
???

1020
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:12,957
Hey, Garth.

1021
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:14,149
Ken.

1022
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:18,513
I'd call you "Sir Ken" out of respect

1023
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:20,631
for your advanced age
and your accomplishments,
1024
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:23,115
but as much as you'd like it,
you were born in Chicago,

1025
00:43:23,240 --> 00:43:25,071
and no one born there
was ever knighted.

1026
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:27,031
He would like it if we called him "sir."

1027
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:29,310
He is that type.

1028
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:31,078
You are that type, Ken.

1029
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:33,156
And then what would we call you, Axe?

1030
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:36,397
Oh, hell, Kenny, call me
whatever the fuck you want.

1031
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:40,557
[chair scrapes]

1032
00:43:40,720 --> 00:43:43,280
Or better, don't ever call me.

1033
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:45,311
You know the reason
why you should never call me?

1034
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:47,158
Because you're a poacher, Ken,

1035
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:50,317
and guys like Garth and me,
we do not like poachers.

1036
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:53,472
Come drag a deer off my land,
see what the fuck happens to you.
1037
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:58,032
Well, now that you've joined us,
let me ask you--

1038
00:43:58,160 --> 00:43:59,354
how you doing?

1039
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:02,472
I'm gonna let you in
on something here, Garth.

1040
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:04,556
Hedge fund guys only ask that question

1041
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:06,910
when they know
the other guy is running bad,

1042
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,036
which he thinks
because you are sitting with him.

1043
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:10,912
Oh, we're just catching up.

1044
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:12,513
And you still haven't answered.

1045
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:14,676
It's a "crush the other guy" business.

1046
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,872
It's like "Highlander"--
there can be only one.

1047
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:22,278
I don't blame you, Ken.
I'd do the same thing.

1048
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,834
But I'm up 32% this year,

1049
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:28,032
which, from what I know
of your run-and-hide approach,
1050
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:31,038
is 30 points better than
what you are at Vista Verde.

1051
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:35,392
Well, you can call it what you want,
but I call it "careful."

1052
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:38,034
Risk-averse.

1053
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:39,878
When I opened my fund,

1054
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:41,911
I was very aware of the responsibility

1055
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:43,792
that people like Garth put in my hands,

1056
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,878
which is why I hedge my investments.

1057
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,673
I protect the downside.

1058
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:53,515
I may not be a rock star,

1059
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:55,392
but I'm still plugging away,

1060
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:57,431
all these many years later.

1061
00:44:57,560 --> 00:44:59,437
???

1062
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:01,198
Have fun with your plugger.

1063
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:04,555
Can we step away for a sec?

1064
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:14,235
I love talking to you, Axe,

1065
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,920
and you made us
a shit ton of money, but...

1066
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:20,749
I need to keep things
nice and comfy--

1067
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:22,916
results and optics.

1068
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:25,918
My job's to spot a fund manager

1069
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:28,918
taking his eye off the ball
before he strikes out.

1070
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:30,473
That's what my members count on.

1071
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:34,434
And they see someone like Kenneth,
dry ass that he is,

1072
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:37,632
as solid...

1073
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:40,149
part of the firmament.

1074
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:42,077
Sometimes that's important.

1075
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:44,269
I hear you.

1076
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:48,109
And I know you hated
the headline in the newspaper.

1077
00:45:48,240 --> 00:45:50,674
Do what you have to do.
1078
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:55,032
But I hope that in the days to come,
you see me as part of that firmament.

1079
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:58,792
I think you will.

1080
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:07,118
[door closes]

1081
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:11,918
You've all seen
the evidence we've gathered

1082
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,435
regarding your railroad trades.

1083
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:16,357
If we prevail at trial,

1084
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:18,152
which we're confident we will,

1085
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:22,956
the federal sentencing guidelines
call for you to serve 1 1 years.

1086
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:27,349
We understand
that you have young children.

1087
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:31,359
Well, maybe they'll be out of college
by the time you're released.

1088
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:33,835
Maybe you can make it
to their weddings.

1089
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:37,589
[Bryan]
But like we told your lawyers,

1090
00:46:37,720 --> 00:46:40,154
we're willing to forgo that
for a quick plea--

1091
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:41,429
an admission of guilt,

1092
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:45,951
a forfeiture money judgment
of $386 million.

1093
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:48,674
[Chuck] As well as the voluntary
shuttering of your fund

1094
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,473
and conversion of it to a family office.

1095
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:53,511
You'll no longer handle
any outside money.

1096
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:56,029
I can get the SEC in here
right now to do that

1097
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:57,593
if you don't agree.

1098
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:01,151
So settlement or trial?

1099
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:04,910
We're prepared to fight this
for as long as we--

1100
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:06,519
I...

1101
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:09,108
came here today to take a deal.

1102
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:12,190
I don't want to go to jail.

1103
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:16,551
Wise choice, Mr. Birch.
1104
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:17,908
Stay in the light.

1105
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:20,713
You won't be getting
a chance like this again.

1106
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:23,718
? dramatic music ?

1107
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:26,070

[door opens]

1109
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:32,029
???

1110
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:33,189
This doesn't have to be over.

1111
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:35,390
I'm actually relieved we settled.

1112
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:37,272
[door closes]

1113
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:42,394
???

1114
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:49,436
[cell phone chimes]

1115
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:11,918
[groaning]

1116
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:13,155
Comfortable?

1117
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:17,073
For the first time all fucking day.

1118
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:20,033
Well, I have someone
coming in here soon,

1119
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:23,072
and they might be a little freaked
to see their boss...

1120
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:30,153
I just came by to say
"thank you" and "sorry"--

1121
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:31,952
two words I don't say very often.

1122
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:35,436
So it's handled with Victor?

1123
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:38,438
You nailed it--on every count.

1124
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:39,794
And he got paid.

1125
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:43,754
I used everything I knew
about him to make him capitulate.

1126
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:45,279
That's why I asked you to go.

1127
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:47,510
You know why I went?

1128
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:49,596
For you.

1129
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:53,591
You and l...

1130
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:58,515
...we've never let each other down
in all these years.

1131
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:00,232
And I wasn't about to start
1132
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:03,193
because you acted
like that never happened.

1133
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:08,911
Cut me out again...

1134
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:10,359
and I'm gone.

1135
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:13,918
I know.

1136
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:16,156
[cell phone vibrates]

1137
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:19,238
? tense music ?

1138
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:21,237
[cell phone chimes]

1139
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:24,875
???

1140
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:26,991
I won't.

1141
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:30,832
[siren wailing in the distance,
car horns honking]

1142
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:42,314
Ellis Eads.

1143
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:45,193
We are honored to share
this privilege with you, Mr. Axelrod.

1144
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:46,594
With you, too, Mrs. Axelrod.

1145
00:49:46,720 --> 00:49:49,029
There's no sharing, Ellis.
It's Axelrod Hall now.
1146
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:50,513
No. Of course.
We understand.

1147
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:52,198
You think you do.

1148
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:58,076
Now, I saw that when I came in here,
you don't remember me, Chad.

1149
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:00,191
I know who you are.

1150
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:03,949
But you don't actually remember.

1151
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:05,069
We've met before.

1152
00:50:06,720 --> 00:50:09,871
I caddied at The Spoon
when I was a kid.

1153
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:12,150
It was the perfect summer job.

1154
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:15,551
I carried your grandfather's bag
quite a few times.

1155
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:18,433
Your bag, too, Chad,
in the summer after middle school.

1156
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:22,598
How funny that we all end up here.

1157
00:50:22,720 --> 00:50:24,551
Now, here's the thing.

1158
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:27,035
A lot of numbers
have been thrown around--
1159
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:30,675
A hundred for the naming rights,
25 for your name to come down.

1160
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:34,998
But there is one number
that really matters to me--

1161
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:37,554
Sixteen.

1162
00:50:37,720 --> 00:50:40,678
And we'll see if you still think
it's funny, Chad.

1163
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:44,554
Sixteen dollars is what a caddy got paid
for a loop.

1164
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:48,514
Four hours of humping bags,
smelling sour cigars,

1165
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:50,471
and watching all of you lie to each other

1166
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:53,239
about your golf scores
in the 95-degree heat,

1167
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:56,073
but I was happy for the job.

1168
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:57,679
That 1 6 bucks--

1169
00:50:57,800 --> 00:50:59,119
and I would do two loops a day,

1170
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:02,113
so it was $32 on a Saturday,
$32 on a Sunday.

1171
00:51:02,240 --> 00:51:04,595
By the end of the weekend,
I'd have 64 bucks.
1172
00:51:04,720 --> 00:51:08,508
Sixteen weekends,
Memorial to Labor Day, $1,024.

1173
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:10,710
[Lara] That was his spending money
for the entire year.

1174
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:13,354
He'd stretch it out
until the next summer.

1175
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:15,072
Pretty much.

1176
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:18,231
Until--

1177
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:20,237
and you were there for this, Chad--

1178
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:23,238
your grandfather asked me
to read a putt on three.

1179
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:26,079
It was a left-to-right leaker,
and I told him so.

1180
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:28,031
I'd seen the putt all summer long.

1181
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:32,039
He closed the face, pulled it,
missed it by a foot.

1182
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:33,479
You laughed at him.

1183
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:35,113
You made fun of his eyesight.

1184
00:51:35,240 --> 00:51:37,629
And he turned to me,
1185
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:40,957
and he fired me right there.

1186
00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:44,959
Not from the round, but from the club.

1187
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:48,271
Now, I needed that $1 6,
but he didn't give a shit,

1188
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:50,595
because he was embarrassed
to have missed a putt

1189
00:51:50,720 --> 00:51:52,438
in front of his grandson.

1190
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:54,471
Are you saying we are here
because of that ancient bullshit?

1191
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:56,318
That's right!

1192
00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:58,078
Sixteen.

1193
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:00,270
? pensive music ?

1194
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:01,992
Which is why I am presenting you

1195
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:06,636
with a check for $25 million

1196
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:08,591
minus 1 6,

1197
00:52:08,720 --> 00:52:11,109
which leaves you with $9 million.

1198
00:52:11,240 --> 00:52:12,958
- [gasps]
- That is bullshit!
1199
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:14,638
- [man] This is unacceptable.
- [Chad] Ellis, this is bullshit.

1200
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:16,876
We will walk out of here
if you don't honor the full amount.

1201
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:18,558
No, you won't.

1202
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:20,955
You need this $9 million,

1203
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:23,514
because none of you, not one,

1204
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:25,517
has done a single day of work

1205
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:27,676
from the moment your miserable prick
of a grandfather

1206
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:30,189
fell facedown in the sand
in Palm Beach.

1207
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:32,880
And after reviewing your holdings,

1208
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:34,996
your business interests, your debts,

1209
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:36,997
I know that this check is the only thing

1210
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:40,157
standing between your family
and bankruptcy.

1211
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:43,352
So pick it up, put it in your pocket,

1212
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:45,516
and walk out of here.

1213
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:47,750
Or I will.

1214
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:52,874
???

1215
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:57,358
? bold music ?

1216
00:52:57,480 --> 00:52:59,869
???

1217
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:02,719
- [man] Let's get out of here.
- [grunts]

1218
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:07,709
???

1219
00:53:08,720 --> 00:53:10,199
[Sean]
So now the Axelrod name

1220
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:14,950
will be forever affixed
to this building for all time.

1221
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:18,038
Or until some guy richer than me
wants it to come down.

1222
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:22,031
You really started something.

1223
00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:23,275
[saw whirring]

1224
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:24,992
? Nick Waterhouse's
"High Tiding" playing ?

1225
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:29,511
? Not that it's wrong,
that it needs righting ?

1226
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:32,956
???

1227
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:35,275
? Just all alone ?

1228
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:38,193
? I've been high tiding ?

1229
00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:39,554
???

1230
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:43,514
? Some quick or some slow ?

1231
00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:47,519
? Sometimes it drops so low ?

1232
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:51,519
