1
00:00:08,430 --> 00:00:10,449
<i>Previously on "Billions"...</i>

2
00:00:10,450 --> 00:00:12,589
When did it become a crime
to succeed in this country?

3
00:00:12,590 --> 00:00:14,519
Everyone has access
to the information.

4
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:16,429
We just know
how to analyze it better.

5
00:00:16,430 --> 00:00:19,519
Suspect trading pattern
on pepsum pharmaceuticals.

6
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:20,609
They had inside information.

7
00:00:20,610 --> 00:00:22,539
You must get pings like that
every day.

8
00:00:22,540 --> 00:00:23,559
It's bigger than that.

9
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,529
All three firms have links
to Bobby Axelrod.

10
00:00:26,530 --> 00:00:27,569
This would be a big one.

11
00:00:27,570 --> 00:00:29,999
But a good matador doesn't try
to kill a fresh bull.

12
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:30,640
But a good matador doesn't try
to kill a fresh bull.

13
00:00:30,641 --> 00:00:33,629
You wait until he's been stuck
a few times.

14
00:00:33,630 --> 00:00:35,639
Why aren't you prosecuting
the investment banks

15
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,429
and hedge funds
for insider trading?

16
00:00:38,430 --> 00:00:40,559
Go ask the 81 convicted felons
of financial crimes

17
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,469
currently serving time.

18
00:00:42,470 --> 00:00:44,469
But you have a very specific
conflict of interest

19
00:00:44,470 --> 00:00:45,450
right in your own home.

20
00:00:45,451 --> 00:00:47,479
Your value to the firm
is absolute.

21
00:00:47,480 --> 00:00:49,549
I've been working there
since before we were married

22
00:00:49,550 --> 00:00:51,449
and long before
you were in office.

23
00:00:51,450 --> 00:00:52,529
I work for the public good.

24
00:00:52,530 --> 00:00:54,619
No, you work for the good
of Chuck rhoades.

25
00:00:54,620 --> 00:00:57,409
Maybe sometimes they intersect.

26
00:00:57,410 --> 00:00:58,509
You know the Norton place
out at the beach?

27
00:00:58,510 --> 00:00:59,999
I just heard Bobby Axelrod
is trying to buy it.

28
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:00,630
I just heard Bobby Axelrod
is trying to buy it.

29
00:01:00,631 --> 00:01:02,489
How much?
$83 million.

30
00:01:02,490 --> 00:01:04,519
People hate guys
who buy things like that.

31
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,409
You said there was only
one thing you were afraid of...

32
00:01:07,410 --> 00:01:09,409
Guys in windbreakers
walking in your office

33
00:01:09,410 --> 00:01:11,459
saying, "step away
from the computer."

34
00:01:11,460 --> 00:01:13,539
And you told me you'd make sure
it wouldn't happen.

35
00:01:13,540 --> 00:01:14,559
So let me make sure.

36
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:15,569
Steven birch?

37
00:01:15,570 --> 00:01:16,579
It's either him or you.

38
00:01:16,580 --> 00:01:17,570
Piedmont capital.

39
00:01:17,571 --> 00:01:19,419
Yeah.

40
00:01:19,420 --> 00:01:21,489
That swap deal he did
on arcadian railroad...

41
00:01:21,490 --> 00:01:23,509
Do an autopsy on the deal,

42
00:01:23,510 --> 00:01:25,540
you'll find yourself a pulitzer
in the carcass.

43
00:01:27,410 --> 00:01:28,650
Front fucking page of the <i>post.</i>

44
00:01:30,410 --> 00:01:31,459
It's like he's daring you.

45
00:01:31,460 --> 00:01:32,639
There's movement.

46
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,579
It's likely they've opened
a case file on you.

47
00:01:35,580 --> 00:01:37,429
You know what?

48
00:01:37,430 --> 00:01:38,460
I'm ready.

49
00:01:58,510 --> 00:01:59,999
No, Pete, the gold standard
is <i>never</i> coming back.

50
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,459
No, Pete, the gold standard
is <i>never</i> coming back.

51
00:02:01,460 --> 00:02:03,439
And if it did,
this world would be so fucked,

52
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,529
I'd buy space travel, not gold.

53
00:02:05,530 --> 00:02:07,439
Nice pitch, though.

54
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:08,519
If I'd have known
it was a gold play,

55
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:09,579
I'd have never put him through.

56
00:02:09,580 --> 00:02:11,429
<i>Always</i> put that lunatic through.

57
00:02:11,430 --> 00:02:14,499
One out of every 200 ideas
he has is fucking brilliant.

58
00:02:14,500 --> 00:02:16,470
I got this.

59
00:02:20,540 --> 00:02:21,629
Bad idea.

60
00:02:21,630 --> 00:02:24,589
"No man is a hero
to his valet."

61
00:02:24,590 --> 00:02:26,459
That goes double
for his c.O.O.,

62
00:02:26,460 --> 00:02:28,489
so you are fucked with me
either way.

63
00:02:28,490 --> 00:02:29,999
Let's take a car to the city
instead of flying.

64
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:30,590
Let's take a car to the city
instead of flying.

65
00:02:30,591 --> 00:02:32,629
What's underneath this?

66
00:02:32,630 --> 00:02:35,579
Look, if the U.S. attorney
<i>is</i> really coming,

67
00:02:35,580 --> 00:02:39,439
maybe it's better if we don't
make you more of a target.

68
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,479
And more important,
garth Sykes from flagship.

69
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,569
Hated seeing you
on the cover of the <i>post</i>

70
00:02:44,570 --> 00:02:46,589
with that goddamned
oceanfront mansion.

71
00:02:46,590 --> 00:02:48,619
Teachers in that pension fund
make 40 grand a year.

72
00:02:48,620 --> 00:02:50,479
People who have it spend it.

73
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:51,519
People who don't have it

74
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,589
like billies better
who spend on other folks.

75
00:02:53,590 --> 00:02:54,590
Charity, good works.

76
00:02:54,591 --> 00:02:56,609
I do, I have, and you know it.

77
00:02:56,610 --> 00:02:59,479
Today, they only remember
the house.

78
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:00,000
I have a feeling
there'll be another one of us

79
00:03:00,001 --> 00:03:01,439
I have a feeling
there'll be another one of us

80
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:02,479
on the front pages soon enough,

81
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:03,549
and they'll forget about that.

82
00:03:03,550 --> 00:03:05,609
But if flagship
does try and withdraw...

83
00:03:05,610 --> 00:03:07,519
We can't let him.

84
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,639
If flagship pulls its
$1.5 billion, it gets public.

85
00:03:10,640 --> 00:03:12,639
Other institutions go, too.

86
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:14,469
Whole thing could domino.

87
00:03:14,470 --> 00:03:15,639
Get with Sykes,
keep them on board.

88
00:03:15,640 --> 00:03:17,509
That's just why I'm telling you

89
00:03:17,510 --> 00:03:18,629
to keep it
a little more low-key.

90
00:03:18,630 --> 00:03:20,610
Who's more low-key
than me?

91
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,460
♪ Not that it's wrong,
that it needs righting ♪

92
00:03:29,620 --> 00:03:30,000
♪ Just all alone,
I been high tiding ♪

93
00:03:30,001 --> 00:03:35,530
♪ Just all alone,
I been high tiding ♪

94
00:03:45,570 --> 00:03:50,469
So, the key
to bagging axe is...?

95
00:03:50,470 --> 00:03:51,609
Pete Decker.
Oh.

96
00:03:51,610 --> 00:03:52,590
His fund. Has to be.

97
00:03:52,591 --> 00:03:54,429
We start with Decker

98
00:03:54,430 --> 00:03:55,609
since he had the longest tenure
at axe capital

99
00:03:55,610 --> 00:03:58,469
of anyone who left
with axe's backing.

100
00:03:58,470 --> 00:03:59,999
Get me some more of those
cold sesame noodles, would you?

101
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:00,550
Get me some more of those
cold sesame noodles, would you?

102
00:04:00,551 --> 00:04:02,599
No, these are...
These are dandan noodles.

103
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,459
Same fucking thing.

104
00:04:05,460 --> 00:04:07,439
No. No, one's szechuan,
the other taiwanese.

105
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:08,479
It's a whole thing.

106
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,539
You know, this is why
I don't mind the hours.

107
00:04:10,540 --> 00:04:13,449
I'm always learning something
on the job. It's incredible.

108
00:04:13,450 --> 00:04:14,639
Yeah, tell him
about general tso's, Bryan.

109
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,579
Oh, no, he flings this shit
at <i>you,</i> too?

110
00:04:16,580 --> 00:04:18,419
Sprays it all around.

111
00:04:18,420 --> 00:04:19,609
The only place you've ever been
is Asia,

112
00:04:19,610 --> 00:04:21,539
you can't help yourself.

113
00:04:21,540 --> 00:04:24,519
Here... indictments
on that Ponzi thing.

114
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,489
Tell me about the general,
Bryan. Come on.

115
00:04:26,490 --> 00:04:27,550
Well, now you've done it.

116
00:04:29,540 --> 00:04:30,000
General tso, he was
a statesman in the qing dynasty.

117
00:04:30,001 --> 00:04:32,529
General tso, he was
a statesman in the qing dynasty.

118
00:04:32,530 --> 00:04:34,449
Suppressed a revolution.

119
00:04:34,450 --> 00:04:36,449
Oh, and now
he has the true glory.

120
00:04:36,450 --> 00:04:39,409
A fried chicken dish named
for him the world over, huh?

121
00:04:39,410 --> 00:04:40,459
That was created in America.

122
00:04:40,460 --> 00:04:43,439
Maybe after we nail axe,
they'll reciprocate...

123
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:44,639
Name a dish after you
in China, huh?

124
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,419
Oh-ho. General Chuck's?

125
00:04:47,420 --> 00:04:48,619
Really, what would that...
What would that look like,

126
00:04:48,620 --> 00:04:50,530
a burger with the cheese
cooked on the inside?

127
00:04:51,570 --> 00:04:54,579
You really think I could ever be
that richly honored?

128
00:04:54,580 --> 00:04:56,539
Hey, I will make it so.

129
00:04:56,540 --> 00:04:58,509
Not if we're still stuck.

130
00:04:58,510 --> 00:04:59,999
We need to find a way to get
Pete Decker on the hook, right?

131
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,499
We need to find a way to get
Pete Decker on the hook, right?

132
00:05:02,500 --> 00:05:06,429
Decker hires young, and he pays
at the top of the range.

133
00:05:06,430 --> 00:05:08,479
Now, once these guys get a taste
for that kind of money,

134
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:09,639
they get desperate
to keep it going.

135
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,409
Start tracking
all of his analysts and traders.

136
00:05:12,410 --> 00:05:14,630
Next one makes a mistake,
we're right there.

137
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,519
Nice move.

138
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,449
Just like smoking in the
girls' bathroom at St. Mary's.

139
00:05:28,450 --> 00:05:29,999
You had to be quick,
or you'd be over a nun's knee.

140
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:30,480
You had to be quick,
or you'd be over a nun's knee.

141
00:05:31,550 --> 00:05:33,499
That's a fun picture
to have in my head.

142
00:05:33,500 --> 00:05:35,559
Mm. Yeah.
They weren't that kind of nun.

143
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,499
They looked like dick Cheney.

144
00:05:37,500 --> 00:05:39,500
Look at that.

145
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,560
That is such a shitty name
on such a great building.

146
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,609
Oh, don't.
Don't focus on that.

147
00:05:47,610 --> 00:05:50,479
Think of all the good
that's going on here tonight.

148
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,479
Can't.
It Mars everything.

149
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,439
The name up there
should mean something.

150
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,639
Should add...
Add to the luster of the place.

151
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,479
Just don't look.

152
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:00,000
I like the building.

153
00:06:00,001 --> 00:06:01,440
I like the building.

154
00:06:02,550 --> 00:06:03,550
How much?

155
00:06:07,500 --> 00:06:08,530
Good question.

156
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,459
They're about to pass the hat.

157
00:06:13,460 --> 00:06:15,499
Get rid of this for us,
will you?

158
00:06:15,500 --> 00:06:16,540
Mm-hmm.

159
00:06:30,460 --> 00:06:31,539
Bobby!
Birchy!

160
00:06:31,540 --> 00:06:33,490
Pchoo!
Blow it up.

161
00:06:40,450 --> 00:06:41,569
Yeah, baby.

162
00:06:41,570 --> 00:06:43,519
Ohhh.

163
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:44,549
Oh!

164
00:06:44,550 --> 00:06:46,459
What are you doing to me?

165
00:06:46,460 --> 00:06:48,550
You're making me weak.

166
00:06:56,570 --> 00:06:58,540
Time to power up.

167
00:07:05,420 --> 00:07:06,599
Ohh!

168
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,579
That hits the spot.

169
00:07:08,580 --> 00:07:10,420
Mmm.

170
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,579
Oh, fuck.

171
00:07:16,580 --> 00:07:18,459
It's work.

172
00:07:18,460 --> 00:07:19,499
It's my work ring.

173
00:07:19,500 --> 00:07:20,520
Jesus.

174
00:07:22,620 --> 00:07:24,429
It's kornbluth.

175
00:07:24,430 --> 00:07:26,479
Thought you left white-collar
crime to cover the election.

176
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:27,579
That's true,

177
00:07:27,580 --> 00:07:29,609
but I stumbled onto one too good
to give someone else.

178
00:07:29,610 --> 00:07:30,000
Get to it.

179
00:07:30,001 --> 00:07:32,419
Get to it.

180
00:07:32,420 --> 00:07:33,420
What do you know

181
00:07:33,421 --> 00:07:35,509
about Steven birch
and arcadian railroad?

182
00:07:35,510 --> 00:07:37,439
What?
What do you have?

183
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:38,549
Birch made a big play
in the railroad...

184
00:07:38,550 --> 00:07:40,609
Captured 43%
before good numbers,

185
00:07:40,610 --> 00:07:43,419
and expansion plans
were announced

186
00:07:43,420 --> 00:07:44,539
with inside information.

187
00:07:44,540 --> 00:07:45,579
We want to know

188
00:07:45,580 --> 00:07:47,509
where the U.S. attorney
for the Southern district

189
00:07:47,510 --> 00:07:49,429
stands on an investigation.

190
00:07:49,430 --> 00:07:50,529
I'm posting this on the web
in five minutes.

191
00:07:50,530 --> 00:07:51,549
It's already on the desk.

192
00:07:51,550 --> 00:07:52,550
It'd be better

193
00:07:52,551 --> 00:07:54,629
with a comment for you...

194
00:07:54,630 --> 00:07:56,479
But I can't wait.

195
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,529
It's late. That might not be
enough time to get a comment.

196
00:07:58,530 --> 00:07:59,999
I'm posting it.
We can't get beat on this story.

197
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:00,520
I'm posting it.
We can't get beat on this story.

198
00:08:00,521 --> 00:08:02,640
You can't run it
without a motherfucking quote.

199
00:08:05,410 --> 00:08:06,630
Oh, god.

200
00:08:08,460 --> 00:08:09,499
Tara mohr?

201
00:08:09,500 --> 00:08:11,559
Yeah, you're on speaker.

202
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,640
<i>Financial journal</i> called
for comment on Steven birch.

203
00:08:15,470 --> 00:08:16,539
What about him?

204
00:08:16,540 --> 00:08:17,589
They're running a story

205
00:08:17,590 --> 00:08:19,519
that he made illegal trades
on arcadian railroad

206
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,520
and that the evidence
is incontrovertible.

207
00:08:22,500 --> 00:08:23,619
Stall while we check.

208
00:08:23,620 --> 00:08:25,549
But this sounds like bullshit.

209
00:08:25,550 --> 00:08:26,629
I mean,
how could the paper have that

210
00:08:26,630 --> 00:08:28,509
before <i>we</i> do...
Or the FBI?

211
00:08:28,510 --> 00:08:29,999
You know, I went to school with
a few guys who work for birch.

212
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:30,600
You know, I went to school with
a few guys who work for birch.

213
00:08:30,601 --> 00:08:33,409
You want me to...
Yes, right now.

214
00:08:33,410 --> 00:08:36,599
Get Terri mccue over at FBI
up on this, too... now.

215
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,460
Right.

216
00:08:40,560 --> 00:08:43,439
I'm not tolling any bells
for you, Bobby.

217
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:44,529
Sounds a bit like you are.

218
00:08:44,530 --> 00:08:46,509
There's a reason
you retained my firm.

219
00:08:46,510 --> 00:08:49,429
Ah, fuck the firm...
A bunch of rich, young lawyers.

220
00:08:49,430 --> 00:08:52,439
There's a reason
you retained me... <i>me.</i>

221
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,509
And that is...

222
00:08:54,510 --> 00:08:56,429
I look far enough down the road

223
00:08:56,430 --> 00:08:57,589
to let you
avoid the speed traps.

224
00:08:57,590 --> 00:08:59,449
Okay.

225
00:08:59,450 --> 00:09:00,000
What do you see?

226
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:00,560
What do you see?

227
00:09:00,561 --> 00:09:03,589
U.S. attorney
needs to bag you.

228
00:09:03,590 --> 00:09:06,569
Rhoades could bring it quick
or take two years.

229
00:09:06,570 --> 00:09:08,619
Two years? Then it becomes
a three-front war...

230
00:09:08,620 --> 00:09:11,449
P.R., redemptions,
and the government.

231
00:09:11,450 --> 00:09:14,509
It's not too early to start a
makeover of the firm's culture.

232
00:09:14,510 --> 00:09:15,609
What fucking culture?

233
00:09:15,610 --> 00:09:17,539
Big returns that beat the street
by double digits

234
00:09:17,540 --> 00:09:19,509
year in, year out,
making our investors rich?

235
00:09:19,510 --> 00:09:21,529
That culture?
No... the rep.

236
00:09:21,530 --> 00:09:24,519
Smart money...
Maybe a little <i>too</i> smart.

237
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,549
If they bring an action,

238
00:09:26,550 --> 00:09:29,409
the whole strategy becomes
about leveraging a settlement...

239
00:09:29,410 --> 00:09:30,000
A deferred prosecution agreement
and forfeiture

240
00:09:30,001 --> 00:09:31,449
a deferred prosecution agreement
and forfeiture

241
00:09:31,450 --> 00:09:32,539
that lets you keep working.

242
00:09:32,540 --> 00:09:36,449
And the best way to get that is
to act like you'd never settle.

243
00:09:36,450 --> 00:09:37,549
I'd never settle.

244
00:09:37,550 --> 00:09:40,489
That's the public posture,
for sure.

245
00:09:40,490 --> 00:09:42,559
I'd never settle.

246
00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:44,499
Yeah.

247
00:09:44,500 --> 00:09:46,579
- That's a good delivery.
- That'll work.

248
00:09:46,580 --> 00:09:49,419
Thank you! Thank you! I'm
gonna go find my table.

249
00:09:49,420 --> 00:09:52,429
Thank you.
How you doing?

250
00:09:52,430 --> 00:09:54,539
My name is penn jillette
of penn and teller,

251
00:09:54,540 --> 00:09:57,639
and we're gonna give
as much money as we can.

252
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,559
I will hurt myself,

253
00:09:59,560 --> 00:10:00,000
then you will hurt yourself
with money.

254
00:10:00,001 --> 00:10:02,419
Then you will hurt yourself
with money.

255
00:10:02,420 --> 00:10:03,580
Gonna look like this.

256
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,519
Think about how much that hurts

257
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,639
and think about
how good you would feel

258
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,539
if you gave a million dollars.

259
00:10:18,540 --> 00:10:20,459
Who's giving a million dollars?
Stand up.

260
00:10:20,460 --> 00:10:21,559
Come on!
A million dollars!

261
00:10:21,560 --> 00:10:24,500
Starting at a stick.
Fuck it.

262
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,499
$1 million!

263
00:10:27,500 --> 00:10:28,600
I'll do it.
I'll do it.

264
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,489
Oh!
You're a good man!

265
00:10:33,490 --> 00:10:35,560
No better than you.

266
00:10:38,570 --> 00:10:40,599
Wonderful. Wonderful.
That's good.

267
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,629
Who are the cheapskates
giving a half a million?

268
00:10:42,630 --> 00:10:43,590
Come on!

269
00:10:43,591 --> 00:10:45,630
Come on.
Half a million up there.

270
00:10:47,470 --> 00:10:48,549
Get the fuck up,

271
00:10:48,550 --> 00:10:50,570
or people will think
I'm not paying you enough.

272
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:57,569
Can I see $250,000?

273
00:10:57,570 --> 00:10:59,629
I'll get everybody standing up
eventually.

274
00:10:59,630 --> 00:11:00,000
They will not let teller go
unless everybody stands up.

275
00:11:00,001 --> 00:11:02,509
They will not let teller go
unless everybody stands up.

276
00:11:02,510 --> 00:11:05,429
How about $250,000 over here?

277
00:11:05,430 --> 00:11:06,579
Holy shit.

278
00:11:06,580 --> 00:11:09,470
<i>Financial journal</i>
just pasted birch.

279

00:11:27,500 --> 00:11:28,569
Anybody else?

281
00:11:28,570 --> 00:11:29,999
Anybody making $50,000?
How about $25,000?

282
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,439
Anybody making $50,000?
How about $25,000?

283
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,580
He's gonna want
that million back.

284
00:11:38,590 --> 00:11:41,570
<i>Everybody</i> should be standing up
at this point!

285
00:11:54,470 --> 00:11:56,499
Hey. You need a minute
before we...

286
00:11:56,500 --> 00:11:57,509
For what?

287
00:11:57,510 --> 00:11:59,499
Pump-up sesh
for the morning meeting,

288
00:11:59,500 --> 00:12:00,000
like every week.

289
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:00,640
Like every week.

290
00:12:00,641 --> 00:12:02,529
Not happening.

291
00:12:02,530 --> 00:12:05,569
Oh, what the fuck, wend?
I count on it.

292
00:12:05,570 --> 00:12:07,529
It's how I get in there
and deal with those animals.

293
00:12:07,530 --> 00:12:09,609
Canceled until further notice.

294
00:12:09,610 --> 00:12:12,449
You don't need it...
Not anymore.

295
00:12:12,450 --> 00:12:14,489
You're the best P.M.
on the floor.

296

You know it.

<i>They're</i> fucking sure of it.

298
00:12:17,490 --> 00:12:19,569
Those animals are used to you
putting them down now.

299
00:12:19,570 --> 00:12:21,599
Hardly even whimper
as it happens.

300
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,529
Our sesh, while fun,

Fuckin' a.

305

You just did it, didn't you?

306
00:12:41,510 --> 00:12:42,579
All right.

307
00:12:42,580 --> 00:12:44,419
3 feet apart, all right?

308
00:12:44,420 --> 00:12:45,499
<i>Tres,</i> all right?

309

And <i>mucha agua en la mañana.</i>

00:12:48,460 --> 00:12:50,509
Can you tell him no food and
lots of water in the morning?

311
00:12:50,510 --> 00:12:52,469
He knows.
Does he? Yeah?

312
00:12:52,470 --> 00:12:54,539
'Cause I don't feel like
I'm getting much back from him.

313
00:12:54,540 --> 00:12:56,459
I know <i>you</i> get it.

314
00:12:56,460 --> 00:12:58,429
You know lu wants to do
zucchini flowers on special

00:13:02,470 --> 00:13:03,549
All right, ladies and gentlemen.

320
00:13:03,550 --> 00:13:05,539
We are up 32%
year-to-date,

321
00:13:05,540 --> 00:13:08,489
and we are open
to <i>all</i> moneymaking ideas.

322
00:13:08,490 --> 00:13:12,529
Longs, shorts, sells, covers...
All Alpha welcome.

323
00:13:12,530 --> 00:13:16,429
The choppy waters out there
are perfect... for <i>us.</i>

324
00:13:16,430 --> 00:13:19,459
For the average investor,
hell no.

325
00:13:19,460 --> 00:13:22,629
But never forget... what's
bad for him is good for us.

326
00:13:22,630 --> 00:13:27,499
If... <i>if</i> we're as smart
as we think we are.

327
00:13:27,500 --> 00:13:29,999
If not, the heat'll melt us
like an almond joy in the sun.

328
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,281
If not, the heat'll melt us
like an almond joy in the sun.

329
00:13:32,410 --> 00:13:34,639
So, are you smart enough?

330
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,520
Some of us fuckin' are.

331
00:13:38,510 --> 00:13:39,510
How about you, pouch?

332
00:13:40,570 --> 00:13:42,589
How am I
supposed to answer that?

333
00:13:42,590 --> 00:13:44,469
You already have.

334
00:13:44,470 --> 00:13:45,619
Sadly.

335
00:13:45,620 --> 00:13:47,629
What happened
on Eureka trans-ship?

336
00:13:47,630 --> 00:13:49,579
You knew they were gonna
whiff their numbers.

337
00:13:49,580 --> 00:13:50,629
Why didn't you
bang the short harder?

338
00:13:50,630 --> 00:13:52,629
You left 5 fucking percent
on the table.

339
00:13:52,630 --> 00:13:55,639
I thought they were gonna whiff,
but I didn't know.

340
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,419
You are such a pussy
on the short side.

341
00:13:59,420 --> 00:14:00,000
Go home and get
your fuckin' shinebox.

342
00:14:00,001 --> 00:14:01,509
Go home and get
your fuckin' shinebox.

343
00:14:01,510 --> 00:14:02,519
Insulted him a little bit.

344
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:03,559
Yeah, a little bit.

345
00:14:03,560 --> 00:14:05,419
Axe, you saw my position.

346
00:14:05,420 --> 00:14:06,499
You could have upped him.

347
00:14:06,500 --> 00:14:07,619
That's what I'm paying <i>you</i> for.

348
00:14:07,620 --> 00:14:10,439
You see an opportunity
like that again, you grab it

349
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,560
like it's a horse cock
and you're Catherine the great.

350
00:14:13,590 --> 00:14:15,479
Okay, okay.

351
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,499
Saldana, why are we still
tied up in those hospitals?

352
00:14:19,500 --> 00:14:20,589
Baby boomers.

353
00:14:20,590 --> 00:14:22,589
They're getting old,
so they're getting sick.

354
00:14:22,590 --> 00:14:24,519
When the group reports
patient volumes,

355
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,479
it's gonna overshoot
street expectations.

356
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,479
We're talking 10% move.

357
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:29,999
That incremental revenue will
drop right to the bottom line,

358
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:30,570
that incremental revenue will
drop right to the bottom line,

359
00:14:30,571 --> 00:14:33,590
and the stock's gonna pop
like a prom queen's cherry.

360
00:14:34,580 --> 00:14:36,569
Good fucking answer.

361
00:14:36,570 --> 00:14:38,489
It really is.
God damn it.

362
00:14:38,490 --> 00:14:40,450
Okay, new-idea time.

363
00:14:42,470 --> 00:14:44,540
Donnie caan,
what do you have for us?

364
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,569
I think apple still has room
to move north.

365
00:14:49,570 --> 00:14:51,490
Really?

366
00:14:52,490 --> 00:14:55,449
Our investors pay us
a 3% management fee

367
00:14:55,450 --> 00:14:56,639
and 30% of their profits,

368
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,999
and you want me to tell them
we're buying some fucking apple?

369
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:00,410
And you want me to tell them
we're buying some fucking apple?

370
00:15:01,470 --> 00:15:02,509
Sorry, axe.

371
00:15:02,510 --> 00:15:06,469
I-I guess I'm just not
seeing the matrix right now.

372
00:15:06,470 --> 00:15:08,449
That's a little
unsettling, Donnie...

373
00:15:08,450 --> 00:15:10,599
Since seeing the matrix
is your entire fucking job.

374
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,409
It's kind of like
if you were a hurdler

375
00:15:12,410 --> 00:15:14,529
and instead of jumping
over the fucking hurdles...

376
00:15:14,530 --> 00:15:16,509
It's okay, Donnie.

377
00:15:16,510 --> 00:15:17,569
You'll see it again.

378
00:15:17,570 --> 00:15:18,609
Hang in.

379
00:15:18,610 --> 00:15:21,529
Okay, guys?

380
00:15:21,530 --> 00:15:23,509
Let's go out there,
bring some meat back to camp.

381
00:15:23,510 --> 00:15:24,629
Or some nuts.

382
00:15:24,630 --> 00:15:26,510
Hunt <i>or</i> gather.

383
00:15:30,410 --> 00:15:32,540
I'm sorry. I tried to give you
the heads-up, but...

384
00:15:36,460 --> 00:15:38,529
Phones down.

385
00:15:38,530 --> 00:15:40,579
We're s.E.C. Compliance.

386
00:15:40,580 --> 00:15:42,579
I need all portfolio managers
and analysts

387
00:15:42,580 --> 00:15:44,509
to return to their desks.

388
00:15:44,510 --> 00:15:46,429
Traders, stay here.

389
00:15:46,430 --> 00:15:48,579
Case officers will meet each pod

390
00:15:48,580 --> 00:15:51,640
and expect full cooperation.

391
00:15:54,500 --> 00:15:57,620
Better answer their questions.
Cooperate.

392
00:15:59,420 --> 00:16:00,000
This group of energy trades...

393
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:00,580
This group of energy trades...

394
00:16:00,581 --> 00:16:02,589
I'd like you to supply
the research behind them.

395
00:16:02,590 --> 00:16:05,449
I was tasked, so I supplied it.

396
00:16:05,450 --> 00:16:07,509
Right, but going through
your reports, I see gaps.

397
00:16:07,510 --> 00:16:10,589
Like this boardwalk pipeline
move... what supported it?

398
00:16:10,590 --> 00:16:12,550
It was
an event-driven strategy.

399
00:16:15,420 --> 00:16:16,609
Okay, it was based
on an unsolicited tip.

400
00:16:16,610 --> 00:16:19,519
The trade
was near 100,000 shares.

401
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:24,429
Close to a $2.5 million position
based on a rumor.

402
00:16:24,430 --> 00:16:26,429
It seemed...

403
00:16:26,430 --> 00:16:28,469
Solid.

404
00:16:28,470 --> 00:16:29,999
Looking at tele-comm...
This verizon trade?

405
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:30,630
Looking at tele-comm...
This verizon trade?

406
00:16:30,631 --> 00:16:33,529
It's part
of an event-driven macroplay.

407
00:16:33,530 --> 00:16:34,610
Bullshit.

408
00:16:36,510 --> 00:16:37,589
All right, I got a tip.

409
00:16:37,590 --> 00:16:39,549
And the pharmaceutical trades?

410
00:16:39,550 --> 00:16:40,629
That was phone-a-tip.

411
00:16:40,630 --> 00:16:43,559
Incoming tip.
What am I, a fucking schmuck?

412
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:44,639
Of course I'm gonna listen.

413
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,579
That was
a prom-night promise.

414
00:16:47,580 --> 00:16:49,479
And that means...?

415
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:50,610
"Just the tip."

416
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,449
So, this is your entire
book and trading history

417
00:16:54,450 --> 00:16:55,559
for the past three months?

418
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,419
That's right.

419
00:16:57,420 --> 00:16:58,429
Wow.

420
00:16:58,430 --> 00:16:59,559
Bit of a rough patch, huh?

421
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:00,000
Seriously?

422
00:17:00,001 --> 00:17:02,529
Seriously?

423
00:17:02,530 --> 00:17:04,639
I need to see your trades
for the past 90 days.

424
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,599
Unless you got a Wells notice
with my name on it,

425
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,439
you're not gonna see Jack shit.

426
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,449
Come on, we can pull it all down
from the server anyway,

427
00:17:10,450 --> 00:17:11,559
so you may as well cooperate.

428
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,529
Mm. Good point.

429
00:17:13,530 --> 00:17:14,520
Lawyer.

430
00:17:14,521 --> 00:17:16,479
Your boss said
you should cooperate.

431
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,469
Oh. Lawyer.

432
00:17:18,470 --> 00:17:19,600
Just answer the question.

433
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,519
You answer <i>me</i> one.

434
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,460
How much do you make?

435
00:17:27,410 --> 00:17:29,999
I'm gonna need access to
your files, paper, and computer.

436
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:30,470
I'm gonna need access to
your files, paper, and computer.

437
00:17:30,471 --> 00:17:31,519
For what?

438
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,459
I'm authorized to check
that all trades comply...

439
00:17:33,460 --> 00:17:34,489
I'm not a trader.

440
00:17:34,490 --> 00:17:36,579
Whatever you call yourself,
after I review...

441
00:17:36,580 --> 00:17:39,539
My files are confidential.
You're not seeing them.

442
00:17:39,540 --> 00:17:41,569
You can call the Attorney
General if you want,

443
00:17:41,570 --> 00:17:43,569
and tell her I say "hi"
if you do.

444
00:17:43,570 --> 00:17:45,439
We had dinner last month.

445
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,490
Otherwise, fuck off.

446
00:17:58,410 --> 00:17:59,999
Enough. Okay?
Enough.

447
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,000
Enough. Okay?
Enough.

448
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,459
I hope you enjoyed
the lifeboat drill this morning.

449
00:18:05,460 --> 00:18:06,579
Are you kidding me?

450
00:18:06,580 --> 00:18:08,499
We did not do well.

451
00:18:08,500 --> 00:18:11,409
In fact, we sank.

452
00:18:11,410 --> 00:18:14,429
If it were a <i>real</i> s.E.C. Raid,
we would have been fucked.

453
00:18:14,430 --> 00:18:16,479
Get the fuck out of here.

454
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:17,609
I shit my pants for nothing?

455
00:18:17,610 --> 00:18:19,619
I didn't do this
for my amusement.

456
00:18:19,620 --> 00:18:21,619
What happened to Steven birch...

457
00:18:21,620 --> 00:18:24,639
Who I am sure will be cleared
of any wrongdoing...

458
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,459
It could happen to <i>us.</i>

459
00:18:26,460 --> 00:18:28,619
So we need to be prepared.

460
00:18:28,620 --> 00:18:29,999
To that end, say "hello"

461
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:30,500
to that end, say "hello"

462
00:18:30,501 --> 00:18:33,459
to our new and improved
compliance department.

463
00:18:33,460 --> 00:18:35,419
These assholes work here now?

464
00:18:35,420 --> 00:18:36,539
That, they do.

465
00:18:36,540 --> 00:18:39,619
They're here for our support
and our protection,

466
00:18:39,620 --> 00:18:41,559
and you will not
even be taking a piss

467
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,559
without them close enough
to give it a shake.

468
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:48,509
From here on,
we evaluate every move...

469
00:18:48,510 --> 00:18:51,429
Not just for the upside,
but for its ethical grounding.

470
00:18:51,430 --> 00:18:52,430
We have to be more pure

471
00:18:52,431 --> 00:18:54,499
than the virgin Mary
before her first period.

472
00:18:54,500 --> 00:18:56,529
Fuck, WAGS.

473
00:18:56,530 --> 00:18:59,999
How the hell are we
supposed to make any money?

474
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:00,500
How the hell are we
supposed to make any money?

475
00:19:00,501 --> 00:19:02,470
You think this is a joke,
Victor?

476
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,509
You, in particular,
were flagged.

477
00:19:06,510 --> 00:19:07,619
Flagged?

478
00:19:07,620 --> 00:19:10,629
Your short on that chip maker.

479
00:19:10,630 --> 00:19:12,629
Eleva peripherals.

480
00:19:12,630 --> 00:19:17,419
Netted 38% fresh blubber
on that seal hunt.

481
00:19:17,420 --> 00:19:20,469
Rotten carcass...
Over the line.

482
00:19:20,470 --> 00:19:23,549
We're lucky the s.E.C.
Hasn't come calling <i>already.</i>

483
00:19:23,550 --> 00:19:24,599
You're done.

484
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,470
Fired.

485
00:19:27,510 --> 00:19:28,629
Clear out.

486
00:19:28,630 --> 00:19:29,999
Leave your key cards.

487
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,000
Leave your key cards.

488
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,419
This is bullshit.

489
00:19:40,420 --> 00:19:41,519
I didn't do anything
out-of-bounds...

490
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,409
No more than anyone else.

491
00:19:43,410 --> 00:19:44,509
Did I sign off on that trade?

492
00:19:44,510 --> 00:19:45,599
No, I did not.

493
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,559
Don't say anything else.

494
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:51,449
I trusted you
with my name and my capital,

495
00:19:51,450 --> 00:19:52,579
and you fucked me.

496
00:19:52,580 --> 00:19:55,439
You put us all at risk

497
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,449
with your deceitful,
illegal moves.

498
00:19:57,450 --> 00:19:59,480
Now get out of here.

499
00:20:08,450 --> 00:20:10,479
All right, everybody,
back at it.

500
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,529
Play hard, play <i>clean.</i>

501
00:20:13,530 --> 00:20:16,489
Be careful out there.

502
00:20:16,490 --> 00:20:17,629
That was
a hell of a public spanking.

503
00:20:17,630 --> 00:20:19,529
Make sure our investors
know about it.

504
00:20:19,530 --> 00:20:20,569
On it.

505
00:20:20,570 --> 00:20:23,439
I'm gonna make sure garth Sykes
hears about it a.S.A.P.

506
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,449
You're gonna be a god
on the street by lunchtime.

507
00:20:25,450 --> 00:20:26,559
I thought I already <i>was</i> one.

508
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,460
Greater god.

509
00:20:30,430 --> 00:20:32,609
Don't you fuckin' touch me!

510
00:20:32,610 --> 00:20:34,460
Or my cellphone.

511
00:20:49,490 --> 00:20:52,489
I was going to tell you
about the compliance gag,

512
00:20:52,490 --> 00:20:54,619
but you didn't show up
at the charity dinner,

513
00:20:54,620 --> 00:20:56,409
and then...

514
00:20:56,410 --> 00:20:59,479
Then... I was half a hallway
from your office.

515
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:00,000
Try again.

516
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:00,620
Try again.

517
00:21:00,621 --> 00:21:03,459
Honest?
It was an oversight.

518
00:21:03,460 --> 00:21:04,619
No, it wasn't.
You don't make them.

519
00:21:04,620 --> 00:21:06,479
And that matters.

520
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,599
But what matters more right now
is that Victor

521
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,569
is exactly the wrong person
to fire that way.

522
00:21:11,570 --> 00:21:12,589
That was
spur-of-the-moment.

523
00:21:12,590 --> 00:21:15,420
It was a spur-of-the-moment
fuck-up.

524
00:21:16,420 --> 00:21:18,459
His entire psychological makeup

525
00:21:18,460 --> 00:21:21,539
sets him up to react very poorly
to public humiliation.

526
00:21:21,540 --> 00:21:24,479
The same things that made him
a profit center for you

527
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,459
will make him
a difficult adversary

528
00:21:26,460 --> 00:21:27,539
if he's not handled right.

529
00:21:27,540 --> 00:21:29,459
He will stew and obsess

530
00:21:29,460 --> 00:21:30,000
and find a way
to exact revenge on you.

531
00:21:30,001 --> 00:21:31,521
And find a way
to exact revenge on you.

532
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,479
Okay.
I can see that.

533
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:35,520
Will you fix it?

534
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,459
Go do it, please.

535
00:21:41,460 --> 00:21:43,489
I made a mistake
not looping you in.

536
00:21:43,490 --> 00:21:44,529
I admit that.

537
00:21:44,530 --> 00:21:46,629
"Mistake."

538
00:21:46,630 --> 00:21:48,450
Last chance.

539
00:21:49,450 --> 00:21:50,619
Okay.

540
00:21:50,620 --> 00:21:52,549
It was a red team drill.

541
00:21:52,550 --> 00:21:55,510
I wanted everybody to react
as they would naturally.

542
00:21:58,510 --> 00:21:59,999
I left you out on purpose.

543
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,040
I left you out on purpose.

544
00:22:03,460 --> 00:22:05,409
And I will make it up to you.

545
00:22:05,410 --> 00:22:06,550
Please deal with Victor.

546
00:22:14,510 --> 00:22:16,600
Sean ayles, please.
It's Lara Axelrod.

547
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:19,519
Sean. Hi.

548
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:20,629
This is the call
you've been waiting for.

549
00:22:20,630 --> 00:22:23,550
I wanted to talk to you
about making a donation.

550
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,639
I figured you would.

551
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,569
And about naming rights.

552
00:22:29,570 --> 00:22:30,000
And so
the names on these buildings

553
00:22:30,001 --> 00:22:32,569
and so
the names on these buildings

554
00:22:32,570 --> 00:22:35,499
become more
than just identifiers.

555
00:22:35,500 --> 00:22:40,419
They become signifiers
of a grander age,

556
00:22:40,420 --> 00:22:42,439
when titans of industry
understood

557
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,469
that the purpose of their wealth

558
00:22:44,470 --> 00:22:46,479
was to support
the performative arts

559
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,409
to improve the quality of life

560
00:22:48,410 --> 00:22:51,560
for all those
who live in and visit this city.

561
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,599
Now give me
the gettysburg address.

562
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,459
I'm sorry.

563
00:22:56,460 --> 00:22:58,610
That...
Sounded rehearsed.

564
00:23:00,500 --> 00:23:01,500
I'm vamping.

565
00:23:02,590 --> 00:23:03,619
I'm in a difficult spot.

566
00:23:03,620 --> 00:23:05,489
No, yeah, I know.

567
00:23:05,490 --> 00:23:09,469
Because what you need to tell me
is that the eads family

568
00:23:09,470 --> 00:23:13,429
owns the naming rights
to this building in perpetuity.

569
00:23:13,430 --> 00:23:16,409
But I'm here
offering you $100 million,

570
00:23:16,410 --> 00:23:18,509
which you need to extract
somehow

571
00:23:18,510 --> 00:23:20,530
without giving me what I want.

572
00:23:22,460 --> 00:23:24,419
I'm in a difficult spot.

573
00:23:24,420 --> 00:23:26,409
No, yeah, I know.

574
00:23:26,410 --> 00:23:29,470
Also, "performative"
does not mean "performance."

575
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,609
Most donors like an air of...

576
00:23:32,610 --> 00:23:34,430
I don't.

577
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,619
There are other naming
opportunities on the ground

578
00:23:37,620 --> 00:23:40,539
that would give you the status
and sense of permanence

579
00:23:40,540 --> 00:23:41,549
that you need.

580
00:23:41,550 --> 00:23:44,430
Why is this building
so important to you?

581
00:23:45,550 --> 00:23:48,509
Here's why
it's important to <i>you.</i>

582
00:23:48,510 --> 00:23:51,459
It's the only way you are
getting even a dollar out of me.

583
00:23:51,460 --> 00:23:53,459
Now, I happen to have discovered

584
00:23:53,460 --> 00:23:55,459
that the remaining members
of the eads family

585
00:23:55,460 --> 00:23:57,459
are in a financial pinch.

586
00:23:57,460 --> 00:23:59,439
They need to raise cash.

587
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:00,000
And they will have a hard time

588
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:00,530
and they will have a hard time

589
00:24:00,531 --> 00:24:02,459
getting ahold
of the kind of loan they need

590
00:24:02,460 --> 00:24:04,439
to pay off their other loans.

591
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:05,609
So, I want you to tell them

592
00:24:05,610 --> 00:24:08,549
that I will pay them $25 million

593
00:24:08,550 --> 00:24:14,409
to allow me to replace
their family name with mine.

594
00:24:14,410 --> 00:24:16,499
Then I will donate the 100,

595
00:24:16,500 --> 00:24:18,600
and you can begin
your renovations.

596
00:24:25,420 --> 00:24:26,510
Oh.

597
00:24:28,540 --> 00:24:29,999
There is one condition
I'll need you to sign off on.

598
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,040
There is one condition
I'll need you to sign off on.

599
00:24:39,410 --> 00:24:40,609
Don't scream.

600
00:24:40,610 --> 00:24:42,560
Look there.

601
00:24:45,410 --> 00:24:47,529
What the fuck?

602
00:24:47,530 --> 00:24:48,569
Get out.

603
00:24:48,570 --> 00:24:49,619
I'm calling the police.

604
00:24:49,620 --> 00:24:51,550
You don't want to do that, Tara.

605
00:24:52,570 --> 00:24:53,600
Who the fuck are you?

606
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,509
Your newest and bestest.

607
00:24:56,510 --> 00:24:59,629
You should stay
and listen to me.

608
00:24:59,630 --> 00:25:00,000
Or else this goes viral.

609
00:25:00,001 --> 00:25:02,559
Or else this goes viral.

610
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,469
<i>You're making me weak.</i>

611
00:25:04,470 --> 00:25:06,480
"You're making me weak."

612
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,569
We have... we have training
against this.

613
00:25:10,570 --> 00:25:13,459
You think you're gonna
fucking blackmail me?

614
00:25:13,460 --> 00:25:15,639
So what? I fuck girls, guys.
Who cares?

615
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,429
Everyone fucks.

616
00:25:17,430 --> 00:25:20,429
That thing has no chance
to compromise me.

617
00:25:20,430 --> 00:25:21,870
I hope it at least
gets you off, man.

618
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,529
What gets me off

619
00:25:25,530 --> 00:25:29,429
would disturb you
at such a deep level, honey,

620
00:25:29,430 --> 00:25:30,000
you'd be best-served
never to think about it again.

621
00:25:30,001 --> 00:25:32,001
You'd be best-served
never to think about it again.

622
00:25:36,540 --> 00:25:40,419
Folks in your line care about
that kind of thing, though.

623
00:25:40,420 --> 00:25:42,409
And this...

624
00:25:42,410 --> 00:25:44,629
Your hair...

625
00:25:44,630 --> 00:25:47,519
Which will test positive
for cocaine,

626
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:51,549
can be in Chuck rhoades' hands
within an hour.

627
00:25:51,550 --> 00:25:55,589
You're gonna watch,
listen, and report,

628
00:25:55,590 --> 00:25:58,460
and everything's gonna be fine.

629
00:26:01,570 --> 00:26:03,570
It's a lot to take in.

630
00:26:06,470 --> 00:26:07,609
We've already gone through
all of this crap.

631
00:26:07,610 --> 00:26:10,509
I heard back from my sources.

632
00:26:10,510 --> 00:26:12,569
There's a war room
set up at birch's.

633
00:26:12,570 --> 00:26:14,569
Lawyers, accountants...
The whole thing.

634
00:26:14,570 --> 00:26:16,569
Guys at his shop
are prepping their résumés.

635
00:26:16,570 --> 00:26:19,599
Well, if it was just smoke,
they'd issue a denial...

636
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,429
Keep working.

637
00:26:21,430 --> 00:26:23,529
Yeah. They're treating this
article like it's a warrant.

638
00:26:23,530 --> 00:26:25,459
Somebody wanted to hurt birch,

639
00:26:25,460 --> 00:26:27,469
and they wanted us
on the ass end.

640
00:26:27,470 --> 00:26:29,999
So they leaked it.

641
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:30,430
So they leaked it.

642
00:26:30,431 --> 00:26:31,509
And I do not like it.

643
00:26:31,510 --> 00:26:33,569
We need the reins
back in our hands.

644
00:26:33,570 --> 00:26:34,579
Understood.

645
00:26:34,580 --> 00:26:36,609
You want me to stay
on this axe/decker thing?

646
00:26:36,610 --> 00:26:39,459
No.
Set that aside.

647
00:26:39,460 --> 00:26:42,509
Until we know at least as much
as this fucking reporter knows,

648
00:26:42,510 --> 00:26:44,509
let's keep the brights
on Steven birch.

649
00:26:44,510 --> 00:26:45,549
All right.

650
00:26:45,550 --> 00:26:46,579
Get me every article

651
00:26:46,580 --> 00:26:50,479
Randy kornbluth wrote
in the past year.

652
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,600
All of Mike dimonda's articles,
too. We'll start there.

653
00:27:07,430 --> 00:27:08,550
Mike.

654
00:27:14,470 --> 00:27:16,619
Good parlor trick,
knowing my address.

655
00:27:16,620 --> 00:27:19,429
That'll look like
a fun intimidation tactic

656
00:27:19,430 --> 00:27:20,430
when I write this up.

657
00:27:20,431 --> 00:27:22,569
Oh. You're not
writing this up.

658
00:27:22,570 --> 00:27:24,469
Because that would be
a small win,

659
00:27:24,470 --> 00:27:26,589
and you're not in it
for small wins.

660
00:27:26,590 --> 00:27:28,639
No, you've come too far.
Too young an age for that.

661
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:29,999
I'm in it because people
deserve to know the truth

662
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:30,630
I'm in it because people
deserve to know the truth

663
00:27:30,631 --> 00:27:32,529
about power and money and...
Whoa. Wait a minute.

664
00:27:32,530 --> 00:27:35,425
What are you, Glenn greenwald
all of a sudden?

665
00:27:35,426 --> 00:27:36,630
Come on.

666
00:27:38,580 --> 00:27:41,499
You know, I've, uh,
I've been reading...

667
00:27:41,500 --> 00:27:43,589
Randy kornbluth lately.

668
00:27:43,590 --> 00:27:46,509
He usually covers
state politics.

669
00:27:46,510 --> 00:27:49,489
He hasn't had a hard
business story in 18 months,

670
00:27:49,490 --> 00:27:50,599
but all of a sudden,

671
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,479
he hooks into
a full-blown crime story...

672
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:54,620
On Steven birch.

673
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:57,609
His article quotes

674
00:27:57,610 --> 00:27:59,999
former federal prosecutor
James Robbins,

675
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:00,550
former federal prosecutor
James Robbins,

676
00:28:00,551 --> 00:28:02,459
who says that the connection

677
00:28:02,460 --> 00:28:04,609
between hedge funds
and company officials

678
00:28:04,610 --> 00:28:06,560
must be probed.

679
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,589
You know who else
likes quoting James Robbins?

680
00:28:10,590 --> 00:28:12,479
You.

681
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,639
Seven times
in the past six months.

682
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,529
He's a widely respected source
with connections...

683
00:28:16,530 --> 00:28:18,559
He's a fucking
rent-a-quote.

684
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,609
I know you really wrote
the birch story,

685
00:28:21,610 --> 00:28:26,469
and I think I know why you chose
to hide that fact.

686
00:28:26,470 --> 00:28:28,439
If I <i>am</i> such a careerist,

687
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:29,639
why would I ever hide
something that good?

688
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:30,000
'Cause you thought
it would endear you to someone.

689
00:28:30,001 --> 00:28:32,460
'Cause you thought
it would endear you to someone.

690
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:35,579
What you should have done,

691
00:28:35,580 --> 00:28:38,499
if you were really playing
an elevated game,

692
00:28:38,500 --> 00:28:40,629
was come to <i>me</i>
with what you had.

693
00:28:40,630 --> 00:28:42,549
See, if I had
something better to give you

694
00:28:42,550 --> 00:28:44,409
in exchange
for you holding on to it...

695
00:28:44,410 --> 00:28:46,609
You have never been willing to
play any kind of game with me.

696
00:28:46,610 --> 00:28:49,479
I didn't know you were ready
to play in the bigs, man.

697
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,419
Now I do.

698
00:28:51,420 --> 00:28:54,409
So, these are the rules.
You tell me who fed you that...

699
00:28:54,410 --> 00:28:55,589
No.

700
00:28:55,590 --> 00:28:58,439
I'm gonna head inside.

701
00:28:58,440 --> 00:28:59,999
Because this conversation
has peaked,

702
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:00,430
because this conversation
has peaked,

703
00:29:00,431 --> 00:29:03,539
and you don't
get to tell me the rules.

704
00:29:03,540 --> 00:29:05,409
You're correct.

705
00:29:05,410 --> 00:29:07,459
I'm not gonna write up
this ambush.

706
00:29:07,460 --> 00:29:08,609
But I <i>can.</i>

707
00:29:08,610 --> 00:29:11,569
Anytime I want to.

708
00:29:11,570 --> 00:29:13,579
So think about that
the next time

709
00:29:13,580 --> 00:29:16,419
you try and bar me
from a press conference

710
00:29:16,420 --> 00:29:17,589
or dodge my call.

711
00:29:17,590 --> 00:29:19,520
Have a good night.

712
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,500
All right.
Thank you.

713
00:29:39,470 --> 00:29:41,459
Uh...

714
00:29:41,460 --> 00:29:43,419
You know what?

715
00:29:43,420 --> 00:29:44,479
Here's the $20

716
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,539
for whatever the guy in
the blue shirt back there wants.

717
00:29:46,540 --> 00:29:48,499
I got you.
Okay, thank you.

718
00:29:48,500 --> 00:29:50,439
Okay, guys, let's go.
Come on.

719
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:51,499
Now, you guys remember

720
00:29:51,500 --> 00:29:54,409
when we threw grandpa a surprise
party for his birthday

721
00:29:54,410 --> 00:29:55,529
and we all
had to keep the secret?

722
00:29:55,530 --> 00:29:56,569
Yeah.

723
00:29:56,570 --> 00:29:58,499
Okay. Why do we
have to keep the secret?

724
00:29:58,500 --> 00:29:59,599
To make grandpa happy.

725
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:00,000
Right.
So this is like that, okay?

726
00:30:00,001 --> 00:30:01,579
Right.
So this is like that, okay?

727
00:30:01,580 --> 00:30:03,509
We don't tell anyone
about the doughnuts

728
00:30:03,510 --> 00:30:05,459
to make <i>mommy</i> happy.

729
00:30:05,460 --> 00:30:06,460
Okay?

730
00:30:07,460 --> 00:30:08,469
Rhoades!

731
00:30:08,470 --> 00:30:11,520
Don't you walk away
before you meet my kids.

732
00:30:12,550 --> 00:30:15,569
Mr. kroll,
we are in a public place...

733
00:30:15,570 --> 00:30:18,429
With, uh, as you say,
our children.

734
00:30:18,430 --> 00:30:21,419
Uh, why don't you guys go sit
on the bench over there, okay?

735
00:30:21,420 --> 00:30:22,630
Take your sister over there.

736
00:30:23,630 --> 00:30:28,459
I-I don't need
your, um... Kindness now.

737
00:30:28,460 --> 00:30:29,999
I-I needed it
at sentencing.

738
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,080
I-I needed it
at sentencing.

739
00:30:33,510 --> 00:30:36,610
This is margo and Stevie.

740
00:30:37,590 --> 00:30:39,469
Hello.

741
00:30:39,470 --> 00:30:41,469
I kept them out of school today
so we could be together

742
00:30:41,470 --> 00:30:43,440
because I go to prison tomorrow.

743
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,479
How do you live with yourself?

744
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:47,599
How?

745
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:48,640
Yeah.

746
00:30:50,450 --> 00:30:51,519
I think long and hard

747
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:55,609
before any prosecution
in my office goes forward.

748
00:30:55,610 --> 00:30:59,499
And I'm proudest of the cases
I choose <i>not</i> to prosecute.

749
00:30:59,500 --> 00:31:00,000
But when I go forward,
it's full guns.

750
00:31:00,001 --> 00:31:02,619
But when I go forward,
it's full guns.

751
00:31:02,620 --> 00:31:05,499
I made one goddamn mistake.

752
00:31:05,500 --> 00:31:07,639
And who got hurt?

753
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:08,630
No one.

754
00:31:08,631 --> 00:31:09,639
You could have let it go.

755
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,419
You committed mail fraud.

756
00:31:11,420 --> 00:31:14,529
And you knew
that my wife had died...

757
00:31:14,530 --> 00:31:16,519
Suddenly...

758
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,579
And that I was
desperate and lost.

759
00:31:18,580 --> 00:31:20,409
Y-you read the articles.

760
00:31:20,410 --> 00:31:21,539
You... you got letters
from 100 people

761
00:31:21,540 --> 00:31:24,410
who vouched for the man
that I was and would be again.

762
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,579
I'm what those kids have left.

763
00:31:28,580 --> 00:31:29,999
And they won't have me again
for four years.

764
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,610
And they won't have me again
for four years.

765
00:31:34,490 --> 00:31:36,419
Have a nice stroll with yours.

766
00:31:36,420 --> 00:31:37,609
And take your fucking $20

767
00:31:37,610 --> 00:31:40,610
or just... Leave it here
for the birds to pick at.

768
00:31:43,490 --> 00:31:44,519
Let's go, kids.

769
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,530
Daddy's done with this asshole.

770
00:31:51,580 --> 00:31:53,449
You wanted to see me?

771
00:31:53,450 --> 00:31:54,550
Hey.

772
00:31:56,410 --> 00:31:57,639
I want to give you a short

773
00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:59,999
that you're not gonna bail on
too quick.

774
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:00,560
That you're not gonna bail on
too quick.

775
00:32:00,561 --> 00:32:02,409
Do you know cross-co.?

776
00:32:02,410 --> 00:32:04,439
Cross-co. Trucking.
I've been tracking it.

777
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,559
Mid-size firm,
has a big distribution contract

778
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,569
with that bakery company
yumtime.

779
00:32:08,570 --> 00:32:10,499
Been holding 50.

780
00:32:10,500 --> 00:32:12,559
Fundamentals are solid.

781
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:14,559
I don't see the short play.

782
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,479
I don't need you to see it.
I need you to <i>do</i> it.

783
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,600
We'll get 50 on the tape.
We'll size up later.

784
00:32:21,620 --> 00:32:25,449
You got a fucking problem
with this?

785
00:32:25,450 --> 00:32:26,450
No.

786
00:32:33,570 --> 00:32:35,469
You plug that investor leakage?

787
00:32:35,470 --> 00:32:37,459
I thought I'd done exactly that,

788
00:32:37,460 --> 00:32:39,660
but I haven't been able
to get garth Sykes on the phone.

789
00:32:40,550 --> 00:32:42,509
He bails, it hurts us.

790
00:32:42,510 --> 00:32:44,429
Yeah. I tried.

791
00:32:44,430 --> 00:32:46,549
But I think I need you
to show face with this guy.

792
00:32:46,550 --> 00:32:48,459
You got this.

793
00:32:48,460 --> 00:32:49,540
That's why I have you.

794
00:32:53,590 --> 00:32:55,619
That fucker thinks that
if <i>you</i> come running over here,

795
00:32:55,620 --> 00:32:58,579
I'm gonna forget he fired me
in front of everyone I know?

796
00:32:58,580 --> 00:32:59,999
Who knows what he thinks?

797
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:00,480
Who knows what he thinks?

798
00:33:00,481 --> 00:33:02,459
One minute,
you're his most trusted advisor,

799
00:33:02,460 --> 00:33:04,529
the next, you're on the outside.

800
00:33:04,530 --> 00:33:06,449
I'm here because...

801
00:33:06,450 --> 00:33:07,629
I think you might
make it worse for yourself,

802
00:33:07,630 --> 00:33:09,469
and I don't want to see that.

803
00:33:09,470 --> 00:33:11,539
The money I made him...

804
00:33:11,540 --> 00:33:13,489
He treated me like a lowlife.

805
00:33:13,490 --> 00:33:15,539
And that's a trigger for you.

806
00:33:15,540 --> 00:33:17,509
Everyone laughing at me
growing up.

807
00:33:17,510 --> 00:33:19,429
The dyslexia.

808
00:33:19,430 --> 00:33:20,549
Even the teachers.

809
00:33:20,550 --> 00:33:22,459
I sent every one of those pricks

810
00:33:22,460 --> 00:33:24,569
a photo of my first
million-dollar bonus check.

811
00:33:24,570 --> 00:33:28,429
That made you feel really good
for about 24 hours,

812
00:33:28,430 --> 00:33:29,499
and then you hated yourself

813
00:33:29,500 --> 00:33:30,000
for letting them know
they ever got to you.

814
00:33:30,001 --> 00:33:31,599
For letting them know
they ever got to you.

815
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:32,629
Kind of.

816
00:33:32,630 --> 00:33:35,449
Sometimes.

817
00:33:35,450 --> 00:33:37,439
This is different.

818
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,569
I know plenty
about how axe capital works...

819
00:33:39,570 --> 00:33:41,449
The dirty edge...

820
00:33:41,450 --> 00:33:43,549
The proprietary trading
techniques.

821
00:33:43,550 --> 00:33:45,429
I know how
the secret sauce is made.

822
00:33:45,430 --> 00:33:47,409
Yeah. I'm sure
you could put out

823
00:33:47,410 --> 00:33:48,519
a schott's miscellany
about the place.

824
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:49,599
Schott's?

825
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,619
It's like a farmer's almanac
for non-farm stuff.

826
00:33:52,620 --> 00:33:55,579
Then, yeah, I could put out
a couple of volumes

827
00:33:55,580 --> 00:33:57,479
of schott's miscellany
about the place.

828
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,599
You just need to ask yourself
one question first...

829
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:00,000
Are you rich enough
to never get another job?

830
00:34:00,001 --> 00:34:02,500
Are you rich enough
to never get another job?

831
00:34:06,570 --> 00:34:08,629
I did work for that man.

832
00:34:08,630 --> 00:34:10,559
Bribed an oil company c.F.O.
For him...

833
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,409
Stop talking.

834
00:34:12,410 --> 00:34:14,409
We're not in session.
That's not privileged.

835
00:34:14,410 --> 00:34:17,579
Point is, I got
all muddied up for him.

836
00:34:17,580 --> 00:34:20,530
Hard not to rub it
on his clean, white shirt now.

837
00:34:25,410 --> 00:34:27,420
Remember Warren jaffin,
the analyst?

838
00:34:28,470 --> 00:34:29,549
Yeah.

839
00:34:29,550 --> 00:34:30,000
Bright guy?

840
00:34:30,001 --> 00:34:31,449
Bright guy?

841
00:34:31,450 --> 00:34:32,489
That kid was sharp.

842
00:34:32,490 --> 00:34:34,479
Employable?

843
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:35,509
<i>Real</i> sharp, yeah.

844
00:34:35,510 --> 00:34:38,449
Then he balked at his bonus
one year and got popped.

845
00:34:38,450 --> 00:34:41,429
He got another job right away
at a huge bank...

846
00:34:41,430 --> 00:34:43,449
$3 million a year, guaranteed.

847
00:34:43,450 --> 00:34:44,499
Only, word got back to axe

848
00:34:44,500 --> 00:34:46,559
that Warren had badmouthed him
in the interview...

849
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,619
Said axe
wasn't generous with him.

850
00:34:48,620 --> 00:34:52,419
So axe called
the head of the bank,

851
00:34:52,420 --> 00:34:55,590
asked him to pull the offer
that day, which the guy did.

852
00:34:57,550 --> 00:34:59,519
Can you imagine...

853
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:00,000
How humiliating that was
for Warren?

854
00:35:00,001 --> 00:35:02,459
How humiliating that was
for Warren?

855
00:35:02,460 --> 00:35:04,429
Probably told his whole family,
all his friends

856
00:35:04,430 --> 00:35:05,519
that he was back.

857
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:07,469
But axe didn't leave it there.

858
00:35:07,470 --> 00:35:09,499
He called
the president or chairman

859
00:35:09,500 --> 00:35:12,529
of every prime broker, bank,
and fund in the industry

860
00:35:12,530 --> 00:35:13,609
and had him blackballed.

861
00:35:13,610 --> 00:35:15,539
Put it out over the loudspeaker,

862
00:35:15,540 --> 00:35:17,529
direct from
the principal's office...

863
00:35:17,530 --> 00:35:21,430
"if you hire Warren jaffin,
you are my enemy."

864
00:35:22,530 --> 00:35:25,630
Do you know
what Warren does now?

865
00:35:27,550 --> 00:35:29,450
He's got a blog.

866
00:35:32,460 --> 00:35:35,449
You've built a real life
for yourself, Victor...

867
00:35:35,450 --> 00:35:36,560
A long way from queens.

868
00:35:37,630 --> 00:35:40,469
If axe is certain
you'll act like a gentleman,

869
00:35:40,470 --> 00:35:42,550
he will make sure
to take care of you.

870
00:35:44,430 --> 00:35:47,429
You were the one that always
told me to stand up for myself.

871
00:35:47,430 --> 00:35:50,549
When you can win, yes.

872
00:35:50,550 --> 00:35:54,490
The only way you can win now
is by letting it go.

873
00:36:00,500 --> 00:36:03,589
You know,
I have to confess to something.

874
00:36:03,590 --> 00:36:04,639
Okay.

875
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:06,519
You're not gonna like it.

876
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,429
Fire away.

877
00:36:08,430 --> 00:36:11,439
I took the kids for doughnuts.

878
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,469
I know.

879
00:36:13,470 --> 00:36:14,600
Kevin told me.

880
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:17,520
Good.

881
00:36:17,521 --> 00:36:18,599
Oh.

882
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:20,479
You're glad he cracked?

883
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,489
No, I never want them
to keep secrets from you.

884
00:36:23,490 --> 00:36:25,639
They're gonna keep them from me
their entire teenage years.

885
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:27,409
They should at least know

886
00:36:27,410 --> 00:36:29,479
that they always can confide
in <i>you.</i>

887
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:30,000
And among your many gifts,
that is a great one.

888
00:36:30,001 --> 00:36:34,419
And among your many gifts,
that is a great one.

889
00:36:34,420 --> 00:36:37,579
Everyone feels like
you're always on their side.

890
00:36:37,580 --> 00:36:40,639
Well, I <i>try</i> to be,
or at least...

891
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,459
Understand
where they're coming from.

892
00:36:43,460 --> 00:36:44,639
That's the wonderful part
of your job.

893
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,500
You get to employ your empathy.

894
00:36:48,540 --> 00:36:53,529
I have to be a real prick
sometimes, you know?

895
00:36:53,530 --> 00:36:54,609
At work.

896
00:36:54,610 --> 00:36:57,409
Yeah.

897
00:36:57,410 --> 00:36:59,999
Sometimes, we <i>all</i> do things
we're not proud of at work.

898
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:00,530
Sometimes, we <i>all</i> do things
we're not proud of at work.

899
00:37:00,531 --> 00:37:02,510
Well, this is different.

900
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,409
When I was in the park
with the kids,

901
00:37:06,410 --> 00:37:08,540
there was this guy who...

902
00:37:09,590 --> 00:37:13,439
Specifics don't matter.

903
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:14,539
What does is,

904
00:37:14,540 --> 00:37:18,459
that every once in a while,
there's this thing we say...

905
00:37:18,460 --> 00:37:19,579
"I am never so proud

906
00:37:19,580 --> 00:37:23,609
as when I choose
<i>not</i> to prosecute a case."

907
00:37:23,610 --> 00:37:27,449
And that's true...
In theory.

908
00:37:27,450 --> 00:37:29,999
But once in a while, I wish
that I could just be more...

909
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,200
But once in a while, I wish
that I could just be more...

910
00:37:33,580 --> 00:37:35,580
human.

911
00:37:38,490 --> 00:37:40,489
But I haven't figured out
how to do that

912
00:37:40,490 --> 00:37:43,549
<i>and</i> my job at the same time.

913
00:37:43,550 --> 00:37:44,579
You know?

914
00:37:44,580 --> 00:37:48,470
Being 100% good at your job...

915
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:53,480
and 100% good...

916
00:37:55,450 --> 00:37:56,549
if you figure that one out,

917
00:37:56,550 --> 00:37:58,520
let's both quit
and write that book.

918
00:38:10,620 --> 00:38:12,579
It's a luxury to relax
every once in a while,

919
00:38:12,580 --> 00:38:14,419
isn't it, garth?

920
00:38:14,420 --> 00:38:16,559
I remember this place...
Fondly.

921
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:20,469
Look, the stability of this firm
has never been in question.

922
00:38:20,470 --> 00:38:23,599
I need to look into
Axelrod's eyes, hear <i>him</i> say it.

923
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:25,599
Yeah, he will.

924
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:27,549
I just wanted to hear you first.

925
00:38:27,550 --> 00:38:29,999
I may be from Kentucky,
but I'm no rube.

926
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:30,450
I may be from Kentucky,
but I'm no rube.

927
00:38:30,451 --> 00:38:31,509
I don't bet on long shots

928
00:38:31,510 --> 00:38:34,519
when it comes to investing
the pensions of my members.

929
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:37,589
That's why they trust me
with their $5 billion.

930
00:38:37,590 --> 00:38:41,419
I get nervous, I see someone
like Axelrod running around

931
00:38:41,420 --> 00:38:43,629
spending his money
like he's a goddamn rap singer.

932
00:38:43,630 --> 00:38:46,579
Emcee.
Like a rap emcee.

933
00:38:46,580 --> 00:38:49,479
No, some of 'em sing now.
My kids showed me.

934
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,429
Snoop and kid rock both.

935
00:38:52,430 --> 00:38:55,629
You're right...
You are no rube.

936
00:38:55,630 --> 00:38:58,559
But Bobby Axelrod isn't, either.

937
00:38:58,560 --> 00:38:59,999
We've crushed the s&p
seven years running,

938
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:01,559
we've crushed the s&p
seven years running,

939
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:05,439
which means
<i>you</i> have crushed the s&p.

940
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:06,610
You turn over now.

941
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,519
<i>Everyone</i> beats it...
Till they don't.

942
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,559
When I can I see axe,
talk to him about it?

943
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,470
You don't want
to rush off <i>now,</i> do you?

944
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,579
Here's mccue.
She got some stuff on birch.

945
00:39:26,580 --> 00:39:29,419
You are gonna love my nuts.

946
00:39:29,420 --> 00:39:30,000
Pierre Bernard,
longtime c.F.O. Of the arcadian,

947
00:39:30,001 --> 00:39:33,439
Pierre Bernard,
longtime c.F.O. Of the arcadian,

948
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,429
gets passed over for c.E.O.,

949
00:39:35,430 --> 00:39:37,830
gets censured internally for
certain financial improprieties.

950
00:39:39,490 --> 00:39:41,549
Press clippings
I thought you might want.

951
00:39:41,550 --> 00:39:43,609
And Bernard interviews
for a job at birch

952
00:39:43,610 --> 00:39:45,489
shortly before the trades.

953
00:39:45,490 --> 00:39:47,619
We have secretaries on
both sides confirming the meet.

954
00:39:47,620 --> 00:39:52,449
Birch's trades in arcadian
occur a half-hour afterward.

955
00:39:52,450 --> 00:39:53,639
We alerted our counterparts
up north.

956
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:55,629
The railroad has fired Bernard.

957
00:39:55,630 --> 00:39:57,599
The Canadians are
considering prosecution.

958
00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:59,999
He's ready to make a statement
implicating birch.

959
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:00,410
He's ready to make a statement
implicating birch.

960
00:40:00,411 --> 00:40:01,599
At Quantico, they call a case
this straightforward...

961
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:03,469
Nobody cares.

962
00:40:03,470 --> 00:40:04,489
Of course not.
Why would they?

963
00:40:04,490 --> 00:40:06,610
Rookies always bring up
Quantico.

964
00:40:08,530 --> 00:40:10,480
Uh, do you need something else?

965
00:40:11,460 --> 00:40:14,459
Let me know if you need
pdf backups of those.

966
00:40:14,460 --> 00:40:15,450
Will do.

967
00:40:15,451 --> 00:40:16,549
He <i>is</i> right, though.

968
00:40:16,550 --> 00:40:18,550
This birch thing's a dunker.

969
00:40:20,500 --> 00:40:22,510
Dominique all day.

970
00:40:24,460 --> 00:40:26,560
Wilkins!

971
00:40:40,620 --> 00:40:43,539
So, tomorrow morning, when
the arrest warrant is issued,

972
00:40:43,540 --> 00:40:44,609
along with a search warrant,

973
00:40:44,610 --> 00:40:47,499
we meet near birch's farm,
all right?

974
00:40:47,500 --> 00:40:49,579
You guys take him,
we take his records.

975
00:40:49,580 --> 00:40:51,489
Hey, quick question.
Alan.

976
00:40:51,490 --> 00:40:52,609
Are we gonna handcuff him?

977
00:40:52,610 --> 00:40:54,409
Yeah, obviously.

978
00:40:54,410 --> 00:40:56,579
What about the s.E.C.?
Should we alert them?

979
00:40:56,580 --> 00:40:57,629
We already have.

980
00:40:57,630 --> 00:40:58,620
Press?

981
00:40:58,621 --> 00:40:59,999
Probably, all right?

982
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:00,460
Probably, all right?

983
00:41:00,461 --> 00:41:01,629
I mean, those news cameras

984
00:41:01,630 --> 00:41:04,590
just have a way of showing up
at the right time, don't they?

985
00:41:06,550 --> 00:41:08,439
So, we're gonna hit 'em
full-on, right? Yes.

986
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:10,529
We'll get local law enforcement
there on the perimeter,

987
00:41:10,530 --> 00:41:11,550
but with the lights out.

988
00:41:16,580 --> 00:41:19,540
All right, any more questions?

989
00:41:22,630 --> 00:41:23,630
Bryan?

990
00:41:27,530 --> 00:41:29,549
Let's put a pin in the arrest.

991
00:41:29,550 --> 00:41:30,000
Boss?

992
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:30,470
Boss?

993
00:41:30,471 --> 00:41:31,609
Get birch in here.

994
00:41:31,610 --> 00:41:33,429
It's time to settle.

995
00:41:33,430 --> 00:41:35,439
No, no. N-no way.

996
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,409
We... we have him dead to rights
on this trial.

997
00:41:38,410 --> 00:41:40,509
I'm first chair.
Then it's jail for this jamoke.

998
00:41:40,510 --> 00:41:42,569
We have him dead to rights,
so he'll fold quick,

999
00:41:42,570 --> 00:41:45,609
and then we get back to
what we were doing... Axelrod.

1000
00:41:45,610 --> 00:41:50,409
I'm not letting us follow
the riderless horse any longer.

1001
00:41:50,410 --> 00:41:51,439
Wait.
Riderless h...

1002
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:53,489
Butch Cassidy
and the Sundance kid.

1003
00:41:53,490 --> 00:41:54,600
They were smart.

1004
00:41:56,550 --> 00:41:59,489
They sent one of their horses
off in a different direction

1005
00:41:59,490 --> 00:42:00,000
so the posse
would have to split up...

1006
00:42:00,001 --> 00:42:02,409
So the posse
would have to split up...

1007
00:42:02,410 --> 00:42:04,519
Get distracted.

1008
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:08,499
But this was no ordinary posse.

1009
00:42:08,500 --> 00:42:11,589
This was a super posse...
<i>The</i> super posse.

1010
00:42:11,590 --> 00:42:13,519
Mixed group of superheroes...

1011
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:16,419
A sheriff, a marshal, an Indian.

1012
00:42:16,420 --> 00:42:17,580
"Native American."

1013
00:42:18,580 --> 00:42:19,550
Sure.

1014
00:42:19,551 --> 00:42:20,589
And the cherokee...

1015
00:42:20,590 --> 00:42:23,479
Man, he could read
the depth of the impression

1016
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,479
the horse's hooves made on rock.

1017
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:29,999
And when he realized they were
chasing a riderless horse...

1018
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:30,500
And when he realized they were
chasing a riderless horse...

1019
00:42:31,570 --> 00:42:34,609
they got right back
on butch's trail.

1020
00:42:34,610 --> 00:42:36,519
I remember now.

1021
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:38,559
I watched it with my dad

1022
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,489
on one of the Saturdays
he showed up.

1023
00:42:41,490 --> 00:42:43,629
I didn't root
for the super posse.

1024
00:42:43,630 --> 00:42:45,529
I rooted for butch and Sundance.

1025
00:42:45,530 --> 00:42:47,530
Of course you did.
We <i>all</i> did.

1026
00:42:49,590 --> 00:42:52,500
But that's not who we are
anymore.

1027
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:06,580
How are you, Bobby?

1028
00:43:10,460 --> 00:43:12,439
Hey, garth.

1029
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:13,480
Ken.

1030
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:17,559
I'd call you "sir Ken"
out of respect

1031
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:19,639
for your advanced age
and your accomplishments,

1032
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:22,499
but, as much as you'd like it,
you were born in Chicago,

1033
00:43:22,500 --> 00:43:24,489
and no one born there
was ever knighted.

1034
00:43:24,490 --> 00:43:26,439
He <i>would</i> like it
if we called him "sir."

1035
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:28,459
He <i>is</i> that type.

1036
00:43:28,460 --> 00:43:29,999
You <i>are</i> that type, Ken.

1037
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:30,490
You <i>are</i> that type, Ken.

1038
00:43:30,491 --> 00:43:32,519
And then
what would we call <i>you,</i> axe?

1039
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:35,540
Oh, hell, Kenny, call me
whatever the fuck you want.

1040
00:43:39,580 --> 00:43:42,539
Or better, don't ever call me.

1041
00:43:42,540 --> 00:43:44,509
You know the reason
why you should never call me?

1042
00:43:44,510 --> 00:43:46,499
Because you're a poacher, Ken,

1043
00:43:46,500 --> 00:43:49,539
and guys like garth and me,
we do not like poachers.

1044
00:43:49,540 --> 00:43:50,639
Come drag a deer off my land,

1045
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:52,560
see what the fuck
happens to you.

1046
00:43:54,460 --> 00:43:57,459
Well, now that you've joined us,
let me ask you...

1047
00:43:57,460 --> 00:43:58,559
How you doing?

1048
00:43:58,560 --> 00:43:59,999
I'm gonna let you in
on something here, garth.

1049
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:01,549
I'm gonna let you in
on something here, garth.

1050
00:44:01,550 --> 00:44:03,569
Hedge fund guys
only ask that question

1051
00:44:03,570 --> 00:44:06,439
when they know
the other guy is running bad,

1052
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:08,499
which he thinks because
you are sitting with him.

1053
00:44:08,500 --> 00:44:10,459
Oh, we're just catching up.

1054
00:44:10,460 --> 00:44:11,569
And you still haven't answered.

1055
00:44:11,570 --> 00:44:13,619
It's a "crush the other guy"
business.

1056
00:44:13,620 --> 00:44:17,429
It's like "highlander"...
There can be only one.

1057
00:44:17,430 --> 00:44:20,520
I don't blame you, Ken.
I'd do the same thing.

1058
00:44:21,510 --> 00:44:23,639
But I'm up 32% this year,

1059
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:26,629
which, from what I know
of your run-and-hide approach,

1060
00:44:26,630 --> 00:44:29,999
is 30 points better than
what you are at vista verde.

1061
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:30,480
Is 30 points better than
what you are at vista verde.

1062
00:44:30,481 --> 00:44:32,549
Well, you can call it
what you want,

1063
00:44:32,550 --> 00:44:34,559
but I call it "careful."

1064
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,439
Risk-averse.

1065
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:38,619
When I opened my fund,

1066
00:44:38,620 --> 00:44:40,629
I was very aware
of the responsibility

1067
00:44:40,630 --> 00:44:43,419
that people like garth
put in my hands,

1068
00:44:43,420 --> 00:44:46,469
which is why
I hedge my investments.

1069
00:44:46,470 --> 00:44:48,620
I protect the downside.

1070
00:44:50,530 --> 00:44:52,569
I may not be a rock star,

1071
00:44:52,570 --> 00:44:54,529
but I'm still plugging away,

1072
00:44:54,530 --> 00:44:56,580
all these many years later.

1073
00:44:58,560 --> 00:44:59,999
Have fun with your plugger.

1074
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:01,080
Have fun with your plugger.

1075
00:45:01,550 --> 00:45:03,600
Can we step away for a sec?

1076
00:45:12,420 --> 00:45:13,549
I love talking to you, axe,

1077
00:45:13,550 --> 00:45:16,439
and you made us
a shit ton of money, but...

1078
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:20,409
I need to keep things
nice and comfy...

1079
00:45:20,410 --> 00:45:22,449
Results <i>and</i> optics.

1080
00:45:22,450 --> 00:45:24,609
My job's to spot
the fund manager

1081
00:45:24,610 --> 00:45:28,449
taking his eye off the ball
before he strikes out.

1082
00:45:28,450 --> 00:45:29,599
That's what my members count on.

1083
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:30,000
And they see someone like
Kenneth, dry ass that he is,

1084
00:45:30,001 --> 00:45:33,569
and they see someone like
Kenneth, dry ass that he is,

1085
00:45:33,570 --> 00:45:36,619
as solid...

1086
00:45:36,620 --> 00:45:39,519
Part of the firmament.

1087
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:41,430
Sometimes that's important.

1088
00:45:42,450 --> 00:45:43,539
I hear you.

1089
00:45:43,540 --> 00:45:47,509
And I know you hated
the headline in the newspaper.

1090
00:45:47,510 --> 00:45:49,609
Do what you have to do.

1091
00:45:49,610 --> 00:45:51,579
But I hope
that in the days to come,

1092
00:45:51,580 --> 00:45:53,620
you see <i>me</i>
as part of that firmament.

1093
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:57,600
I think you will.

1094
00:46:07,620 --> 00:46:11,449
You've all seen
the evidence we've gathered

1095
00:46:11,450 --> 00:46:13,579
regarding your railroad trades.

1096
00:46:13,580 --> 00:46:17,499
If we prevail at trial...
Which we're confident we will...

1097
00:46:17,500 --> 00:46:18,609
The federal sentencing
guidelines

1098
00:46:18,610 --> 00:46:21,640
call for you to serve 11 years.

1099
00:46:24,420 --> 00:46:26,569
We understand
that you have young children.

1100
00:46:26,570 --> 00:46:28,549
Well, maybe
they'll be out of college

1101
00:46:28,550 --> 00:46:29,999
by the time you're released.

1102
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:30,570
By the time you're released.

1103
00:46:30,571 --> 00:46:33,419
Maybe you can make it
to their weddings.

1104
00:46:33,420 --> 00:46:36,639
But like we told your lawyers,

1105
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:39,539
we're willing to forgo that
for a quick plea...

1106
00:46:39,540 --> 00:46:40,589
An admission of guilt,

1107
00:46:40,590 --> 00:46:45,419
a forfeiture money judgment
of $386 million.

1108
00:46:45,420 --> 00:46:47,609
As well as the voluntary
shuttering of your fund

1109
00:46:47,610 --> 00:46:50,589
and conversion of it
to a family office.

1110
00:46:50,590 --> 00:46:52,599
You'll no longer handle
<i>any</i> outside money.

1111
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:55,429
I can get the s.E.C. In here
right now to do that

1112
00:46:55,430 --> 00:46:56,430
if you don't agree.

1113
00:46:58,500 --> 00:46:59,999
So, settlement or trial?

1114
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:01,000
So, settlement or trial?

1115
00:47:01,630 --> 00:47:04,409
We're prepared to fight this
for as long as we...

1116
00:47:04,410 --> 00:47:05,549
I...

1117
00:47:05,550 --> 00:47:08,440
Came here today to take a deal.

1118
00:47:09,470 --> 00:47:11,480
I don't want to go to jail.

1119
00:47:12,630 --> 00:47:15,569
Wise choice, Mr. birch.

1120
00:47:15,570 --> 00:47:16,599
Stay in the light.

1121
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:19,640
You won't be getting
a chance like this again.

1122
00:47:31,420 --> 00:47:32,519
This doesn't have to be over.

1123
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:34,530
I'm actually relieved
we settled.

1124
00:48:11,410 --> 00:48:12,450
Comfortable?

1125
00:48:13,510 --> 00:48:16,469
For the first time
all fucking day.

1126
00:48:16,470 --> 00:48:19,449
Well, I have someone
coming in here soon,

1127
00:48:19,450 --> 00:48:22,420
and they might be a little
freaked to see their boss...

1128
00:48:26,550 --> 00:48:29,499
I just came by to say
"thank you" and "sorry"...

1129
00:48:29,500 --> 00:48:30,000
Two words
I don't say very often.

1130
00:48:30,001 --> 00:48:31,439
Two words
I don't say very often.

1131
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:34,589
So it's handled with Victor?

1132
00:48:34,590 --> 00:48:37,539
You nailed it...
On every count.

1133
00:48:37,540 --> 00:48:39,449
And he got paid.

1134
00:48:39,450 --> 00:48:42,629
I used everything I knew about
him to make him capitulate.

1135
00:48:42,630 --> 00:48:44,559
That's why I asked you to go.

1136
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:46,589
You know why I went?

1137
00:48:46,590 --> 00:48:48,590
For <i>you.</i>

1138
00:48:50,620 --> 00:48:54,409
You and I...

1139
00:48:54,410 --> 00:48:57,559
We've never let each other down
in all these years.

1140
00:48:57,560 --> 00:48:59,509
And I wasn't about to start

1141
00:48:59,510 --> 00:49:00,000
because <i>you</i> acted
like that never happened.

1142
00:49:00,001 --> 00:49:02,460
Because <i>you</i> acted
like that never happened.

1143
00:49:05,610 --> 00:49:08,429
Cut me out again...

1144
00:49:08,430 --> 00:49:09,510
And I'm gone.

1145
00:49:11,470 --> 00:49:13,440
I know.

1146
00:49:24,450 --> 00:49:25,510
I won't.

1147
00:49:40,470 --> 00:49:41,529
Ellis eads.

1148
00:49:41,530 --> 00:49:44,509
We are honored to share this
privilege with you, Mr. Axelrod.

1149
00:49:44,510 --> 00:49:45,619
With you, too,
Mrs. Axelrod.

1150
00:49:45,620 --> 00:49:48,409
There's no sharing, Ellis.
It's Axelrod hall now.

1151
00:49:48,410 --> 00:49:49,569
No. Of course.
We understand.

1152
00:49:49,570 --> 00:49:51,470
You <i>think</i> you do.

1153
00:49:53,610 --> 00:49:55,599
Now, I saw
that when I came in here,

1154
00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:57,489
you don't remember me, Chad.

1155
00:49:57,490 --> 00:49:59,499
I know who you are.

1156
00:49:59,500 --> 00:50:00,000
But you don't actually remember.

1157
00:50:00,001 --> 00:50:03,429
But you don't actually remember.

1158
00:50:03,430 --> 00:50:04,430
We've met before.

1159
00:50:05,630 --> 00:50:08,599
I caddied at the spoon
when I was a kid.

1160
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:11,489
It was the perfect summer job.

1161
00:50:11,490 --> 00:50:14,589
I carried your grandfather's bag
quite a few times.

1162
00:50:14,590 --> 00:50:17,520
<i>Your</i> bag, too, Chad, in
the summer after middle school.

1163
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:21,589
How funny
that we all end up here.

1164
00:50:21,590 --> 00:50:23,619
Now, here's the thing.

1165
00:50:23,620 --> 00:50:26,439
A lot of numbers
have been thrown around...

1166
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:29,639
100 for the naming rights,
25 for your name to come down.

1167
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:30,000
But there is <i>one</i> number
that really matters to me...

1168
00:50:30,001 --> 00:50:33,619
But there is <i>one</i> number
that really matters to me...

1169
00:50:33,620 --> 00:50:37,409
16.

1170
00:50:37,410 --> 00:50:39,639
And we'll see if you still think
it's funny, Chad.

1171
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:43,589
$16 is what a caddy got paid
for a loop.

1172
00:50:43,590 --> 00:50:47,599
Four hours of humping bags,
smelling sour cigars,

1173
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:49,579
and watching all of you
lie to each other

1174
00:50:49,580 --> 00:50:52,539
about your golf scores
in the 95-degree heat,

1175
00:50:52,540 --> 00:50:55,459
but I was happy for the job.

1176
00:50:55,460 --> 00:50:58,489
That 16 bucks...
And I would do two loops a day,

1177
00:50:58,490 --> 00:50:59,999
so it was $32 on a Saturday,
$32 on a Sunday.

1178
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:01,459
So it was $32 on a Saturday,
$32 on a Sunday.

1179
00:51:01,460 --> 00:51:03,619
By the end of the weekend,
I'd have 64 bucks.

1180
00:51:03,620 --> 00:51:07,579
16 weekends,
memorial to labor day, $1,024.

1181
00:51:07,580 --> 00:51:09,639
That was his spending money
for the entire year.

1182
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:12,519
He'd stretch it out
until the next summer.

1183
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:14,470
Pretty much.

1184
00:51:15,500 --> 00:51:17,509
Until...

1185
00:51:17,510 --> 00:51:19,499
And you were there
for this, Chad...

1186
00:51:19,500 --> 00:51:22,499
Your grandfather asked me
to read a putt on 3.

1187
00:51:22,500 --> 00:51:25,409
It was a left-to-right leaker,
and I told him so.

1188
00:51:25,410 --> 00:51:27,499
I'd seen the putt
all summer long.

1189
00:51:27,500 --> 00:51:29,999
He closed the face, pulled it,
missed it by a foot.

1190
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:31,419
He closed the face, pulled it,
missed it by a foot.

1191
00:51:31,420 --> 00:51:32,579
You laughed at him.

1192
00:51:32,580 --> 00:51:34,499
You made fun of his eyesight.

1193
00:51:34,500 --> 00:51:37,419
And he turned to me,

1194
00:51:37,420 --> 00:51:40,429
and he fired me right there.

1195
00:51:40,430 --> 00:51:44,459
Not from the round,
but from the club.

1196
00:51:44,460 --> 00:51:47,509
Now, I needed that $16,
but he didn't give a shit.

1197
00:51:47,510 --> 00:51:49,579
Because he was embarrassed
to have missed a putt

1198
00:51:49,580 --> 00:51:50,639
in front of his grandson.

1199
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:52,449
Are you saying we are here

1200
00:51:52,450 --> 00:51:53,539
because
of that ancient bullshit?

1201
00:51:53,540 --> 00:51:55,519
That's right!

1202
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:57,430
16.

1203
00:51:59,530 --> 00:52:00,000
Which is why I am presenting you

1204
00:52:00,001 --> 00:52:01,459
which is why I am presenting you

1205
00:52:01,460 --> 00:52:05,589
with a check for $25 million

1206
00:52:05,590 --> 00:52:07,619
minus 16,

1207
00:52:07,620 --> 00:52:10,479
which leaves you
with $9 million.

1208
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:12,469
That is bullshit!

1209
00:52:12,470 --> 00:52:13,559
This is unacceptable.
Ellis, this is bullshit.

1210
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:16,429
We will walk out of here if
you don't honor the full amount.

1211
00:52:16,430 --> 00:52:17,629
No, you won't.

1212
00:52:17,630 --> 00:52:20,429
You need this $9 million.

1213
00:52:20,430 --> 00:52:22,599
Because none of you...
Not one...

1214
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:24,579
Has done a single day of work

1215
00:52:24,580 --> 00:52:26,629
from the moment your miserable
prick of a grandfather

1216
00:52:26,630 --> 00:52:29,509
fell facedown in the sand
in palm beach.

1217
00:52:29,510 --> 00:52:30,000
And after reviewing
your holdings,

1218
00:52:30,001 --> 00:52:32,409
and after reviewing
your holdings,

1219
00:52:32,410 --> 00:52:34,429
your business interests,
your debts,

1220
00:52:34,430 --> 00:52:36,429
I know that this check
is the only thing

1221
00:52:36,430 --> 00:52:39,479
standing between your family
and bankruptcy.

1222
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:42,559
So pick it up,
put it in your pocket,

1223
00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:44,549
and walk out of here.

1224
00:52:44,550 --> 00:52:46,630
Or <i>I</i> will.

1225
00:52:57,520 --> 00:52:59,519
Let's get out of here.

1226
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:00,000
Mnh!

1227
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:01,000
Mnh!

1228
00:53:07,500 --> 00:53:09,529
So, now the Axelrod name

1229
00:53:09,530 --> 00:53:13,639
will be forever affixed
to this building for all time.

1230
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:17,450
Or until some guy richer than me
wants it to come down.

1231
00:53:19,420 --> 00:53:20,640
