- <i>Previously on</i> Billions...
- 2
- 00:00:06,783 --> 00:00:09,083
- I sure as hell will testify
- about what Chuck Rhoades did
- 3
- 00:00:09,185 --> 00:00:12,269
- and that Charles Rhoades Sr.
- was steering his own money
- 4
- 00:00:12,304 --> 00:00:14,282
- and Chuck's money was
- directly involved...
- 5
- 00:00:14,317 --> 00:00:15,022
- Stop.
- 6
- 00:00:15,124 --> 00:00:17,591
- I'm willing to pay you 30
- million to tell the truth.
- 7
- 00:00:17,693 --> 00:00:18,971
- You'll give my people a statement
- 8
- 00:00:18,995 --> 00:00:21,329
- laying out how Rhoades did what he did.
- 9
- 00:00:22,365 --> 00:00:23,597
- How much do I use?
- 10
- 00:00:23,699 --> 00:00:26,033
- Just trace amounts on my signal.
- 11
- 00:00:26,135 --> 00:00:28,069
- Give up your so-called license to trade.
- 12
- 00:00:28,171 --> 00:00:29,636
- That is the only angle.
- 13
- 00:00:29,739 --> 00:00:31,572
- I can't be seen to be guiding the firm.
- 14
- 00:00:31,674 --> 00:00:32,973
- It'll all be up to you.
- 15
- 00:00:33,075 --> 00:00:34,575
- <i>The gaming license?</i>
- 16
- 00:00:34,677 --> 00:00:36,888
- <i>They're announcing soon,
- and there's sure to be a bounce.</i>
- 17
- 00:00:36,912 --> 00:00:38,945
- My cash happens to be tied up
- 18
- 00:00:39,047 --> 00:00:41,281
- in a few real estate deals right now.
- 19
- 00:00:41,384 --> 00:00:42,683
- Let me guess.
- 20
- 00:00:42,785 --> 00:00:43,917
- Kingsford?
- 21
- 00:00:44,019 --> 00:00:46,487
- "The first ship to make a
- manned mission to Mars."
- 22
- 00:00:46,589 --> 00:00:50,323
- I haven't stayed in bed
- past 5 a.m. since 2001.
- 23
- 00:00:50,425 --> 00:00:52,859
- I had my man follow them.
- 24
- 00:00:52,961 --> 00:00:54,961
- Look at that morning-after glow.
- 25
- 00:00:57,266 --> 00:00:58,999
- Why don't you reach out, talk to him?
- 26
- 00:00:59,101 --> 00:01:00,367
- If there's any reaching out,
- 27
- 00:01:00,468 --> 00:01:01,902
- it should be from the other side.
- 28
- 00:01:02,004 --> 00:01:04,437
- What, you want me to initiate,
- for Christ's sake?
- 29
- 00:01:04,539 --> 00:01:06,639
- They're in this.
- 30
- 00:01:06,741 --> 00:01:08,708
- I can't look away from it anymore.
- 31
- 00:01:30,764 --> 00:01:33,264
- Ira Schirmer showed us to the well.
- 32
- 00:01:33,366 --> 00:01:35,767
- But all we had to do was look down
- 33
- 00:01:35,869 --> 00:01:38,503
- to see the thick crude on our boots.
- 34
- 00:01:40,372 --> 00:01:42,105
- We tracked the size of your position.
- 35
- 00:01:42,207 --> 00:01:44,442
- Matching that of your son's trust.
- 36
- 00:01:44,544 --> 00:01:47,711
- The timing of the additional
- investment corroborates
- 37
- 00:01:47,814 --> 00:01:49,480
- Mr. Schirmer's affidavit:
- 38
- 00:01:49,582 --> 00:01:52,917
- Chuck directed you to invade the trust.
- 39
- 00:01:53,018 --> 00:01:55,553
- He baited Axelrod, he is complicit
- 40
- 00:01:55,655 --> 00:01:58,388
- in the sabotage of the Ice Juice IPO.
- 41
- 00:01:58,490 --> 00:02:00,157
- Don't say a thing
- 42
- 00:02:00,259 --> 00:02:03,193
- until they say the magic word.
- 43
- 00:02:08,267 --> 00:02:11,634
- We are prepared to offer you immunity.
- 44
- 00:02:11,736 --> 00:02:13,703
- That's the one.
- 45
- 00:02:13,805 --> 00:02:15,905
- In exchange for your cooperation.
- 46
- 00:02:17,175 --> 00:02:21,444
- Alternatively.
- Perjury carries five years.
- 47
- 00:02:21,546 --> 00:02:23,980
- Tell me: You have that to spare?
- 48
- 00:02:35,741 --> 00:02:37,724
- _
- 49
- 00:02:49,873 --> 00:02:52,907
- Connerty knows what Schirmer was
- trying to say in our interview
- 50
- 00:02:53,010 --> 00:02:54,242
- and is chasing it down.
- 51
- 00:02:54,344 --> 00:02:57,112
- I wouldn't be surprised if
- he talks to your father.
- 52
- 00:02:57,214 --> 00:02:59,514
- Or already has.
- 53
- 00:02:59,616 --> 00:03:01,182
- That's disquieting.
- 54
- 00:03:01,284 --> 00:03:03,751
- Will your father hold
- up under questioning?
- 55
- 00:03:03,853 --> 00:03:07,287
- He's a free-radical.
- 56
- 00:03:07,390 --> 00:03:09,557
- Not taking my counsel at the moment.
- 57
- 00:03:09,659 --> 00:03:12,960
- Then you have a real
- and unsolvable problem.
- 58
- 00:03:15,097 --> 00:03:17,164
- So I have to get my
- father to keep quiet.
- 59
- 00:03:17,266 --> 00:03:20,901
- And you need to remind Connerty
- he has a fucking day job.
- 60
- 00:03:51,667 --> 00:03:54,233
- This is some
- advanced real estate play.
- 61
- 00:03:54,335 --> 00:03:56,369
- Let the Saudis keep 432 Park.
- 62
- 00:03:57,772 --> 00:03:59,905
- This is the real prize.
- 63
- 00:04:00,007 --> 00:04:01,840
- The last burial plot in Manhattan.
- 64
- 00:04:01,943 --> 00:04:05,144
- And all the time to enjoy it.
- 65
- 00:04:05,246 --> 00:04:07,947
- Only 350,000,
- 66
- 00:04:08,049 --> 00:04:10,616
- and this cool slice of earth is mine.
- 67
- 00:04:11,786 --> 00:04:15,588
- Well... and long
- may it remain unoccupied.
- 68
- 00:04:17,491 --> 00:04:19,725
- Mr. Axelrod.
- 69
- 00:04:19,827 --> 00:04:21,805
- We have eyes on the three
- labs in the Tri-State area
- 70
- 00:04:21,829 --> 00:04:23,328
- capable of production and storage
- 71
- 00:04:23,430 --> 00:04:25,697
- - of the Ice Juice toxicant.
- - FBI is interviewing
- 72
- 00:04:25,799 --> 00:04:27,199
- the lead techs at each of them.
- 73
- 00:04:27,301 --> 00:04:29,167
- - They'll be onto ours soon.
- - By the time
- 74
- 00:04:29,269 --> 00:04:31,470
- they get to our lab,
- make sure there is no lab.
- 75
- 00:04:31,572 --> 00:04:32,904
- Got it. What else?
- 76
- 00:04:33,006 --> 00:04:34,806
- Dake is protecting Rhoades.
- 77
- 00:04:34,908 --> 00:04:36,374
- Ira Schirmer saw it firsthand.
- 78
- 00:04:36,477 --> 00:04:39,644
- He also saw that Connerty,
- if properly armed, won't let up.
- 79
- 00:04:39,746 --> 00:04:42,346
- You have the Schirmer affidavit?
- 80
- 00:04:42,448 --> 00:04:44,648
- Deliver it tonight?
- 81
- 00:04:44,750 --> 00:04:46,350
- Go arm him, gents.
- 82
- 00:04:54,093 --> 00:04:55,792
- <i>This is Charles Rhoades.</i>
- 83
- 00:04:55,894 --> 00:04:58,629
- <i>Leave a message,
- and I'll get back to you.</i>
- 84
- 00:05:17,516 --> 00:05:20,483
- You RSVP'd no, you hate reunions.
- 85
- 00:05:20,585 --> 00:05:22,652
- "The dead are more
- present than the living,"
- 86
- 00:05:22,754 --> 00:05:24,787
- - I think you put it.
- - Changed my mind.
- 87
- 00:05:30,061 --> 00:05:32,561
- Connerty's aware of my
- father's involvement,
- 88
- 00:05:32,664 --> 00:05:34,030
- he's trying for details.
- 89
- 00:05:34,842 --> 00:05:36,243
- Hard to convince your
- father to protect you
- 90
- 00:05:36,267 --> 00:05:37,800
- when you're not talking to him.
- 91
- 00:05:37,902 --> 00:05:38,600
- Mm-hmm.
- 92
- 00:05:38,602 --> 00:05:41,236
- So, uh, Yale reunion,
- 93
- 00:05:41,338 --> 00:05:42,404
- here we come.
- 94
- 00:05:42,506 --> 00:05:45,107
- - They're giving him an award.
- - Right.
- 95
- 00:05:45,209 --> 00:05:47,777
- Twenty-fifth and 50th
- are the same night, so he'll be there...
- 96
- 00:05:47,879 --> 00:05:49,778
- He quite enjoys the
- presence of the dead.
- 97
- 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,746
- Makes him feel victorious.
- 98
- 00:05:53,250 --> 00:05:56,385
- You're gonna convince him.
- 99
- 00:05:56,487 --> 00:05:57,586
- For me.
- 100
- 00:05:59,290 --> 00:06:00,189
- For us.
- 101
- 00:06:00,291 --> 00:06:02,424
- Our family, yes.
- 102
- 00:06:02,526 --> 00:06:03,559
- We are.
- 103
- 00:06:05,295 --> 00:06:06,360
- Together.
- 104
- 00:06:33,923 --> 00:06:38,258
- _
- 105
- 00:06:46,255 --> 00:06:48,902
- _
- 106
- 00:06:55,376 --> 00:06:57,744
- <i>World-Aid is poised to provide</i>
- 107
- 00:06:57,846 --> 00:06:59,612
- <i>solar-powered, air-conditioned tents</i>
- 108
- 00:06:59,714 --> 00:07:01,347
- <i>to Central African nations</i>
- 109
- 00:07:01,449 --> 00:07:03,582
- <i>through our new solar tent initiative.</i>
- 110
- 00:07:03,684 --> 00:07:05,384
- Bobby Axelrod.
- 111
- 00:07:05,486 --> 00:07:06,886
- Oscar Langstraat.
- 112
- 00:07:06,988 --> 00:07:08,955
- - I know who you are.
- - Good to finally
- 113
- 00:07:09,057 --> 00:07:10,923
- - meet you in person, Bobby.
- - You too.
- 114
- 00:07:11,025 --> 00:07:12,591
- So you, um,
- 115
- 00:07:12,693 --> 00:07:14,960
- you flew in private
- to worry about a cure
- 116
- 00:07:15,062 --> 00:07:16,795
- for overheated Southern Africa?
- 117
- 00:07:16,897 --> 00:07:19,598
- Well, my plane
- runs on recycled corn oil,
- 118
- 00:07:19,700 --> 00:07:20,699
- so it's all good.
- 119
- 00:07:20,801 --> 00:07:22,801
- Ah. That's what I have
- my masseuse use too.
- 120
- 00:07:27,207 --> 00:07:29,741
- You're not as bad at
- this as the articles say.
- 121
- 00:07:29,843 --> 00:07:31,442
- - At what?
- - Small talk.
- 122
- 00:07:31,544 --> 00:07:33,011
- But I can see it's work for you.
- 123
- 00:07:33,113 --> 00:07:35,046
- Look, these charities
- 124
- 00:07:35,149 --> 00:07:37,482
- have basically become
- feel good machines.
- 125
- 00:07:37,584 --> 00:07:40,152
- You gave ten mill. They'll say thanks.
- 126
- 00:07:40,254 --> 00:07:43,088
- They'll ask again. You'll give again.
- 127
- 00:07:43,190 --> 00:07:44,722
- But at the coming board meeting
- 128
- 00:07:44,824 --> 00:07:46,957
- I'm pitching a drastic shift.
- 129
- 00:07:47,059 --> 00:07:49,661
- I think that World-Aid
- should<i> own</i> the company
- 130
- 00:07:49,763 --> 00:07:51,095
- that makes the solar panels.
- 131
- 00:07:51,197 --> 00:07:53,097
- - Rayveon Solar.
- - Right.
- 132
- 00:07:53,199 --> 00:07:55,533
- That way,
- when the panels go into wide use,
- 133
- 00:07:55,635 --> 00:07:57,902
- World-Aid itself profits from it,
- 134
- 00:07:58,004 --> 00:07:59,870
- grows, becomes self-sustaining.
- 135
- 00:07:59,972 --> 00:08:01,138
- Venture Philanthropy.
- 136
- 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,540
- There's some of that
- disruption you're famous for.
- 137
- 00:08:03,642 --> 00:08:04,909
- Disruption works.
- 138
- 00:08:05,011 --> 00:08:06,977
- It's uncomfortable but effective.
- 139
- 00:08:07,079 --> 00:08:09,122
- - Like rolfing.
- - I don't know.
- 140
- 00:08:09,157 --> 00:08:11,381
- You might be able to sell that
- shit out by the Bay, but...
- 141
- 00:08:11,483 --> 00:08:14,451
- Venture Philanthropy is the future.
- 142
- 00:08:14,553 --> 00:08:17,587
- I sought you out because
- I want your support
- 143
- 00:08:17,690 --> 00:08:19,155
- when I bring this to the board.
- 144
- 00:08:20,159 --> 00:08:21,958
- My support isn't gonna help.
- 145
- 00:08:22,060 --> 00:08:23,593
- The folks on the World-Aid board,
- 146
- 00:08:23,696 --> 00:08:25,562
- they aren't in it for the future.
- 147
- 00:08:25,664 --> 00:08:28,064
- They like the access and
- the status it gives them.
- 148
- 00:08:28,166 --> 00:08:29,966
- And they don't want to lose it.
- 149
- 00:08:30,068 --> 00:08:33,303
- Their risk tolerance is exactly zero.
- 150
- 00:08:33,405 --> 00:08:35,205
- Coach Tikhonov in Lake Placid.
- 151
- 00:08:36,541 --> 00:08:38,975
- That's a sport ball analogy, right?
- 152
- 00:08:39,077 --> 00:08:40,343
- Ok.
- 153
- 00:08:40,445 --> 00:08:41,878
- The future hurts.
- 154
- 00:08:41,980 --> 00:08:43,479
- But only once.
- 155
- 00:08:43,581 --> 00:08:46,415
- Denying it stings forever.
- 156
- 00:08:46,517 --> 00:08:48,818
- Like Shelob in Cirith Ungol.
- 157
- 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,321
- Oh, that's a Middle
- Earth/fantasy analogy, right?
- 158
- 00:08:52,423 --> 00:08:53,689
- Ok.
- 159
- 00:08:53,791 --> 00:08:55,624
- But the board doesn't take to outsiders
- 160
- 00:08:55,727 --> 00:08:58,160
- telling them how to do their job.
- 161
- 00:08:59,664 --> 00:09:03,799
- I bear an unpleasant communiqué:
- 162
- 00:09:03,901 --> 00:09:05,401
- Due to your legal entanglements,
- 163
- 00:09:05,503 --> 00:09:07,903
- the chairman has asked that<i> I</i> represent
- 164
- 00:09:08,005 --> 00:09:11,840
- the Axelrod Foundation
- on the dais... in your stead.
- 165
- 00:09:11,942 --> 00:09:13,541
- I remember a time when ten million
- 166
- 00:09:13,643 --> 00:09:16,778
- got you on the main stage...
- 167
- 00:09:16,881 --> 00:09:18,580
- Go ahead, Ayles.
- 168
- 00:09:21,952 --> 00:09:23,451
- And there it is:
- 169
- 00:09:23,553 --> 00:09:25,286
- The only person the board mistrusts
- 170
- 00:09:25,389 --> 00:09:28,456
- more than someone like you, is me.
- 171
- 00:09:29,726 --> 00:09:33,294
- But I'm still on the board.
- 172
- 00:09:33,397 --> 00:09:35,229
- So I'll consider your proposal.
- 173
- 00:09:51,628 --> 00:09:53,314
- Good day to you.
- 174
- 00:09:53,416 --> 00:09:57,117
- I come bearing tithe. And a lot of it.
- 175
- 00:09:57,219 --> 00:09:59,386
- And is this gift unencumbered?
- 176
- 00:09:59,488 --> 00:10:02,790
- Once I get what I came here for,
- use it how you'd like.
- 177
- 00:10:02,892 --> 00:10:06,427
- I want to secure the available
- burial plot, for all time.
- 178
- 00:10:06,529 --> 00:10:09,362
- I'm afraid there is no
- available burial plot.
- 179
- 00:10:09,465 --> 00:10:11,064
- Who snaked me?
- 180
- 00:10:11,166 --> 00:10:14,467
- An individual who had a prior
- relationship with the Church.
- 181
- 00:10:17,772 --> 00:10:19,739
- I don't suppose you could tell me who...
- 182
- 00:10:19,841 --> 00:10:20,907
- Sorry.
- 183
- 00:10:27,532 --> 00:10:28,581
- <i>I knocked on your office door.</i>
- 184
- 00:10:28,683 --> 00:10:29,849
- <i>You weren't there.</i>
- 185
- 00:10:29,951 --> 00:10:32,852
- It's all one big office, Oliver.
- Committed as we are.
- 186
- 00:10:32,954 --> 00:10:35,521
- So you must be
- interviewing that lab tech?
- 187
- 00:10:35,623 --> 00:10:36,656
- <i>Later.</i>
- 188
- 00:10:36,758 --> 00:10:38,925
- I'm about to interview
- another prime suspect.
- 189
- 00:10:39,026 --> 00:10:41,260
- Are you? Don't get waylaid.
- 190
- 00:10:41,362 --> 00:10:42,962
- Axelrod is the bullseye.
- 191
- 00:10:44,833 --> 00:10:47,399
- And the green ring around it, too,
- 192
- 00:10:47,501 --> 00:10:48,567
- whatever that's called.
- 193
- 00:10:48,669 --> 00:10:49,935
- The single bull.
- 194
- 00:10:50,037 --> 00:10:51,070
- Yeah.
- 195
- 00:10:51,172 --> 00:10:54,239
- That's Axelrod. The single bull.
- 196
- 00:11:07,454 --> 00:11:08,920
- Mr. Rhoades.
- 197
- 00:11:14,995 --> 00:11:17,428
- Brace a man while he's grooming himself,
- 198
- 00:11:17,531 --> 00:11:20,764
- hope the intimacy makes
- him feel vulnerable.
- 199
- 00:11:20,867 --> 00:11:22,900
- An admirable tactic, Bryan.
- 200
- 00:11:23,003 --> 00:11:24,802
- This is a respectful courtesy call.
- 201
- 00:11:24,904 --> 00:11:27,771
- I'm letting you know,
- before<i> anyone</i> braces you:
- 202
- 00:11:27,874 --> 00:11:31,009
- We're aware of your involvement
- in the Ice Juice IPO.
- 203
- 00:11:31,111 --> 00:11:33,311
- I've known Ira Schirmer for years.
- 204
- 00:11:33,413 --> 00:11:35,446
- As my son's college roommate,
- then lawyer.
- 205
- 00:11:35,548 --> 00:11:38,048
- So I threw a little capital
- behind the boy's venture.
- 206
- 00:11:38,150 --> 00:11:39,950
- Not much more to it than that.
- 207
- 00:11:40,052 --> 00:11:41,552
- Yeah, that's how it'd look
- 208
- 00:11:41,654 --> 00:11:43,921
- if Ira weren't prepared to testify
- 209
- 00:11:44,023 --> 00:11:46,223
- about what really went on.
- 210
- 00:11:47,493 --> 00:11:50,193
- Well, I guess, you wait
- 211
- 00:11:50,295 --> 00:11:52,662
- for someone to embarrass himself,
- he will.
- 212
- 00:11:52,764 --> 00:11:55,965
- We just need you to
- confirm what Ira said:
- 213
- 00:11:56,068 --> 00:11:57,834
- Chuck directed you to invade his trust
- 214
- 00:11:57,936 --> 00:12:02,039
- and knowingly participated in
- the sabotage of the company.
- 215
- 00:12:05,310 --> 00:12:07,677
- You must think I'm a physical moron.
- 216
- 00:12:07,779 --> 00:12:09,812
- That's Victorian for retard, understand.
- 217
- 00:12:09,915 --> 00:12:11,848
- - Mm.
- - You want me to testify
- 218
- 00:12:11,950 --> 00:12:14,450
- against my son. At my peril.
- 219
- 00:12:14,553 --> 00:12:17,453
- And you don't even tender
- the reach-around of immunity?
- 220
- 00:12:17,556 --> 00:12:20,356
- - If I had that to offer...
- - You would have.
- 221
- 00:12:20,458 --> 00:12:23,560
- But you don't.
- Which is too bad for both of us.
- 222
- 00:12:24,996 --> 00:12:28,097
- Maybe I'm as tired as you
- are of my son's moves.
- 223
- 00:12:28,199 --> 00:12:32,401
- Maybe I'd even like to burn him down.
- 224
- 00:12:32,503 --> 00:12:35,837
- But we are a long way from that.
- 225
- 00:12:37,508 --> 00:12:39,608
- Now...
- 226
- 00:12:39,710 --> 00:12:42,177
- if you want to continue this,
- 227
- 00:12:42,279 --> 00:12:44,112
- we can do so in there.
- 228
- 00:12:45,549 --> 00:12:48,283
- Otherwise, I'm done with you.
- 229
- 00:12:58,228 --> 00:12:59,994
- Why does this keep happening to me...?
- 230
- 00:13:02,785 --> 00:13:04,032
- <i>I want you to introduce Taylor</i>
- 231
- 00:13:04,067 --> 00:13:06,390
- - to Rayveon Solar.
- - The solar panels...
- 232
- 00:13:06,425 --> 00:13:07,935
- If we can make the
- World-Aid board invest,
- 233
- 00:13:08,037 --> 00:13:09,704
- that stock will go through the roof.
- 234
- 00:13:09,806 --> 00:13:11,772
- So we need to be in position.
- It's gonna be huge.
- 235
- 00:13:11,874 --> 00:13:13,674
- And I want it in the
- main fund when I'm back.
- 236
- 00:13:13,776 --> 00:13:15,476
- - Then it'll be done.
- - I can't be seen
- 237
- 00:13:15,578 --> 00:13:18,679
- as steering Taylor,
- so put it in front of them. But don't.
- 238
- 00:13:18,781 --> 00:13:20,715
- What if we have Ayles do it?
- 239
- 00:13:20,817 --> 00:13:22,316
- Dress it up like it's charity.
- 240
- 00:13:22,418 --> 00:13:24,118
- He's the most subtle man we've got.
- 241
- 00:13:24,220 --> 00:13:26,020
- - Yeah. Good.
- - Yeah, but what if Taylor
- 242
- 00:13:26,122 --> 00:13:27,321
- senses you're behind it?
- 243
- 00:13:27,423 --> 00:13:29,090
- Will they steer away?
- 244
- 00:13:29,191 --> 00:13:31,625
- Well, all depends on what
- has the stronger pull:
- 245
- 00:13:31,727 --> 00:13:33,494
- fear or money.
- 246
- 00:13:33,596 --> 00:13:35,195
- We'll find out when we find out.
- 247
- 00:13:35,297 --> 00:13:37,897
- Eventually, all comes clear.
- 248
- 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,633
- Speaking of eventuality...
- 249
- 00:13:39,735 --> 00:13:41,468
- somebody got cozy in my forever-bed
- 250
- 00:13:41,570 --> 00:13:43,270
- before I had the chance to secure it.
- 251
- 00:13:43,372 --> 00:13:47,040
- Can I use your team of ninjas
- to help me find out who?
- 252
- 00:13:48,125 --> 00:13:51,111
- You know they're kind of occupied
- with bigger shit right now.
- 253
- 00:13:53,515 --> 00:13:59,418
- But... what could be bigger
- than your eternal resting place?
- 254
- 00:14:00,588 --> 00:14:02,321
- Go ahead.
- 255
- 00:14:02,423 --> 00:14:03,790
- <i>The countdown clock is</i>
- 256
- 00:14:03,892 --> 00:14:06,626
- <i>T-minus eight hours to launch</i>
- 257
- 00:14:06,727 --> 00:14:09,629
- <i>on tech titan Craig Heidecker's
- first ride into space</i>
- 258
- 00:14:09,730 --> 00:14:11,664
- <i>and to the International Space Station.</i>
- 259
- 00:14:11,766 --> 00:14:14,367
- <i>This is the first stage in
- Heidecker's ambitious plan</i>
- 260
- 00:14:14,469 --> 00:14:17,203
- <i>for an eventual manned mission to Mars.</i>
- 261
- 00:14:17,305 --> 00:14:18,504
- <i>Heidecker acquired...</i>
- 262
- 00:14:18,606 --> 00:14:21,373
- And the papers want
- to know whose shirts he wears.
- 263
- 00:14:21,475 --> 00:14:23,809
- How did we ever think
- to short that smile?
- 264
- 00:14:23,911 --> 00:14:26,211
- His charm is a liability.
- It means people believe
- 265
- 00:14:26,313 --> 00:14:28,280
- whatever he tells them.
- And he believes it, too.
- 266
- 00:14:28,382 --> 00:14:30,515
- It ends up having a
- washing machine effect.
- 267
- 00:14:30,617 --> 00:14:33,752
- The stock will, pardon me, skyrocket
- 268
- 00:14:33,854 --> 00:14:35,888
- once he hard-docks at the Space Station.
- 269
- 00:14:35,990 --> 00:14:36,922
- Size it down?
- 270
- 00:14:37,024 --> 00:14:38,990
- Farpoint scrubbed the
- last three launches.
- 271
- 00:14:39,092 --> 00:14:41,859
- Guidance and navigation each time,
- no corrections found.
- 272
- 00:14:41,961 --> 00:14:43,761
- Another scrub sets them back two years.
- 273
- 00:14:43,863 --> 00:14:47,299
- Stock will dump, and they'll be
- extra cautious with the CEO aboard...
- 274
- 00:14:47,401 --> 00:14:48,466
- Size up on the short.
- 275
- 00:14:48,569 --> 00:14:50,402
- I will. Can I be honest?
- 276
- 00:14:50,504 --> 00:14:52,370
- I'll be honest.
- 277
- 00:14:52,472 --> 00:14:54,138
- I'm rooting for him to get there.
- 278
- 00:14:56,642 --> 00:14:58,509
- I am too.
- 279
- 00:14:58,611 --> 00:15:01,579
- First step is the ISS.
- Next, space colonization.
- 280
- 00:15:01,681 --> 00:15:03,414
- My bet is against his business model.
- 281
- 00:15:03,516 --> 00:15:04,648
- Not his vision.
- 282
- 00:15:04,751 --> 00:15:05,683
- Right on.
- 283
- 00:15:05,785 --> 00:15:07,384
- You give, we match!
- 284
- 00:15:07,486 --> 00:15:09,420
- During the GiveBack Charity Drive.
- 285
- 00:15:10,217 --> 00:15:14,057
- The largesse of Axe Capital
- on display, base to tip.
- 286
- 00:15:14,901 --> 00:15:15,693
- Unless you don't give.
- 287
- 00:15:15,695 --> 00:15:17,894
- In which case we're
- matching thin fucking air.
- 288
- 00:15:17,996 --> 00:15:19,697
- - The e-mail was received.
- - I gave.
- 289
- 00:15:19,798 --> 00:15:20,631
- I saw the amount.
- 290
- 00:15:20,733 --> 00:15:23,734
- If that's giving,
- I weep for the women in your life.
- 291
- 00:15:23,836 --> 00:15:27,104
- The Axelrod Foundation means well.
- But is intrinsically inefficient.
- 292
- 00:15:27,206 --> 00:15:30,207
- I put my resources to good use,
- when I find a deserving outlet.
- 293
- 00:15:30,308 --> 00:15:31,641
- Or are you not asking?
- 294
- 00:15:31,744 --> 00:15:33,009
- No, no, I get it.
- 295
- 00:15:33,791 --> 00:15:36,847
- Everyone from your prom date to PETA
- coming to you with palms outstretched.
- 296
- 00:15:36,949 --> 00:15:39,750
- That's always the way it is
- when you make your first score.
- 297
- 00:15:39,852 --> 00:15:42,753
- But Sean Ayles and what he does
- with the Axelrod Foundation
- 298
- 00:15:42,855 --> 00:15:44,654
- is different.
- 299
- 00:15:44,756 --> 00:15:46,556
- Time you two thumb wrestle.
- 300
- 00:16:04,041 --> 00:16:05,808
- Who, in the name of goodness, is that?
- 301
- 00:16:05,910 --> 00:16:07,143
- That's the Bear Jew.
- 302
- 00:16:26,397 --> 00:16:27,462
- Savage.
- 303
- 00:16:27,564 --> 00:16:29,964
- Yes, he is.
- 304
- 00:16:30,066 --> 00:16:31,600
- For the cause.
- 305
- 00:16:31,702 --> 00:16:33,301
- As are we.
- 306
- 00:16:35,038 --> 00:16:36,204
- What's up?
- 307
- 00:16:36,306 --> 00:16:37,538
- Uh...
- 308
- 00:16:38,875 --> 00:16:43,011
- Seems that the disrespect
- shown you at the tent demo
- 309
- 00:16:43,113 --> 00:16:45,814
- was symptomatic of an
- entrenched ill-will.
- 310
- 00:16:45,916 --> 00:16:49,450
- They plan to hold a vote to
- remove you from the board.
- 311
- 00:16:50,184 --> 00:16:51,852
- You had to know this was in the offing.
- 312
- 00:16:51,954 --> 00:16:53,521
- Also,<i> you</i> had to.
- 313
- 00:16:53,623 --> 00:16:55,222
- Is this a matter of public persona?
- 314
- 00:16:55,325 --> 00:16:56,791
- - Because there are ways to...
- - No.
- 315
- 00:16:56,892 --> 00:16:59,860
- This is not a rehab play.
- 316
- 00:16:59,962 --> 00:17:03,431
- There are other reasons that
- I need to stay on that board.
- 317
- 00:17:03,533 --> 00:17:04,632
- The vote, traditionally,
- 318
- 00:17:04,734 --> 00:17:07,634
- happens in absentia of
- the person being removed.
- 319
- 00:17:07,736 --> 00:17:09,837
- I am unconcerned with tradition.
- 320
- 00:17:11,650 --> 00:17:13,173
- Off to lunch with your CIO.
- 321
- 00:17:13,275 --> 00:17:17,845
- Seems they're dubious of the
- Axelrod Foundation's efficacy.
- 322
- 00:17:17,947 --> 00:17:21,148
- Look, I'm stuck here watching
- skulls get crushed on TV,
- 323
- 00:17:21,250 --> 00:17:24,984
- so I need Taylor crushing
- skulls on my behalf.
- 324
- 00:17:25,086 --> 00:17:27,687
- Make them see the efficacy
- of the Foundation.
- 325
- 00:17:27,789 --> 00:17:31,458
- More specifically make them
- see the play on Rayveon Solar.
- 326
- 00:17:32,927 --> 00:17:36,062
- Use all your powers
- and all your skills...
- 327
- 00:17:48,376 --> 00:17:49,876
- Mick Nussfaur.
- 328
- 00:17:49,978 --> 00:17:51,277
- The fucking ambulance chaser?
- 329
- 00:17:51,379 --> 00:17:53,379
- Yes. New York's top
- personal injury lawyer.
- 330
- 00:17:53,481 --> 00:17:54,981
- We can leverage. Has a girlfriend
- 331
- 00:17:55,083 --> 00:17:56,782
- - his wife doesn't know about.
- - Wife is ill.
- 332
- 00:17:56,884 --> 00:17:58,650
- Girlfriend's family rich and powerful.
- 333
- 00:17:58,753 --> 00:18:01,420
- Her parents have a
- mausoleum in Green-Wood.
- 334
- 00:18:01,522 --> 00:18:03,589
- This I can and will work with.
- 335
- 00:18:03,691 --> 00:18:04,690
- Bill me for your time.
- 336
- 00:18:04,792 --> 00:18:06,892
- Axe offered to cover.
- 337
- 00:18:06,994 --> 00:18:09,395
- I hope you're as good to
- each other as he is to me.
- 338
- 00:18:20,340 --> 00:18:21,572
- Our lab tech.
- 339
- 00:18:21,674 --> 00:18:23,875
- The one we had as likely
- supplying the toxin...
- 340
- 00:18:23,977 --> 00:18:27,845
- He boarded a flight for a far off land.
- 341
- 00:18:32,218 --> 00:18:35,252
- It seems "later" was too late.
- 342
- 00:18:37,356 --> 00:18:41,325
- I told you what to focus on, you didn't.
- 343
- 00:18:43,229 --> 00:18:45,396
- Get on those remaining accomplices.
- 344
- 00:18:52,671 --> 00:18:55,172
- <i>I'm aware of your
- skepticism of what I do.</i>
- 345
- 00:18:55,274 --> 00:18:57,241
- Philanthropy is a cesspool.
- 346
- 00:18:57,343 --> 00:18:58,542
- The charities you give to
- 347
- 00:18:58,644 --> 00:19:00,811
- are blind to the problems
- they aim to solve.
- 348
- 00:19:00,913 --> 00:19:02,979
- Even Bill Gates. He gave malaria nets.
- 349
- 00:19:03,081 --> 00:19:05,048
- And people used them as herring nets.
- 350
- 00:19:05,150 --> 00:19:06,750
- Only they were coated in chemicals.
- 351
- 00:19:06,852 --> 00:19:07,951
- So coastal West Africa
- 352
- 00:19:08,053 --> 00:19:10,454
- ends up with depleted
- and inedible fish stocks.
- 353
- 00:19:10,556 --> 00:19:12,322
- They<i> asked</i> him to stop helping.
- 354
- 00:19:12,424 --> 00:19:14,758
- Axe is forensic
- 355
- 00:19:14,860 --> 00:19:17,961
- and demands maximum
- efficiency in all pursuits.
- 356
- 00:19:18,063 --> 00:19:21,097
- Look at the World-Aid solar
- tent initiative in particular.
- 357
- 00:19:21,199 --> 00:19:24,000
- Twenty million people on the
- verge of famine in Africa
- 358
- 00:19:24,102 --> 00:19:25,501
- due to the rising temperatures.
- 359
- 00:19:25,603 --> 00:19:28,836
- Both they and their
- barley must be kept cool.
- 360
- 00:19:28,871 --> 00:19:30,906
- This is a real answer.
- 361
- 00:19:31,909 --> 00:19:33,209
- I'll review the brief.
- 362
- 00:19:35,412 --> 00:19:37,346
- And it is sent.
- 363
- 00:19:51,128 --> 00:19:53,028
- Mr. Wagner.
- 364
- 00:19:53,130 --> 00:19:54,429
- Reading your medical report,
- 365
- 00:19:54,531 --> 00:19:57,599
- I expected you to be
- wheeled in on a gurney.
- 366
- 00:19:57,701 --> 00:20:01,136
- This isn't yours, it's a ploy...
- 367
- 00:20:01,238 --> 00:20:03,805
- I needed to see you and
- didn't want you forearmed.
- 368
- 00:20:03,907 --> 00:20:06,008
- Oh, so this is adversarial?
- 369
- 00:20:06,110 --> 00:20:08,576
- I hope it's mutually advantageous.
- 370
- 00:20:08,678 --> 00:20:10,545
- I come to you, not with physical injury,
- 371
- 00:20:10,647 --> 00:20:14,348
- it's true, but with a lifetime
- of spiritual harm done.
- 372
- 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:16,317
- Not my racket.
- 373
- 00:20:16,419 --> 00:20:19,053
- Unless there's one third
- commission on salvation.
- 374
- 00:20:19,155 --> 00:20:20,287
- I think not.
- 375
- 00:20:20,390 --> 00:20:23,758
- Then talk in a language I
- might understand, or leave.
- 376
- 00:20:23,860 --> 00:20:25,459
- I'm here for the burial plot.
- 377
- 00:20:25,561 --> 00:20:27,461
- To suggest that you move on.
- 378
- 00:20:27,563 --> 00:20:30,064
- If you know that I maneuvered
- my way into getting it,
- 379
- 00:20:30,166 --> 00:20:32,733
- then you have to know that
- I'm not about to let it go.
- 380
- 00:20:32,835 --> 00:20:35,369
- I'm offering you something better.
- 381
- 00:20:35,471 --> 00:20:39,606
- I've secured you a prime
- patch at Green-Wood.
- 382
- 00:20:39,708 --> 00:20:41,341
- P-7 tract.
- 383
- 00:20:42,711 --> 00:20:45,478
- That's not an offer. That's a threat.
- 384
- 00:20:45,581 --> 00:20:48,148
- To what, expose my side piece?
- 385
- 00:20:48,250 --> 00:20:49,983
- I know you care for her.
- 386
- 00:20:50,500 --> 00:20:52,519
- Care for her? I love her.
- 387
- 00:20:52,621 --> 00:20:55,121
- Tits made to fit in a
- nice sized martini glass.
- 388
- 00:20:55,223 --> 00:20:57,657
- I'm sure you've seen pictures.
- 389
- 00:20:57,759 --> 00:20:59,759
- And this way, you can lay together
- 390
- 00:20:59,861 --> 00:21:02,862
- in her family's mausoleum.
- 391
- 00:21:02,964 --> 00:21:05,265
- I had to ensure others would be moved,
- 392
- 00:21:05,367 --> 00:21:07,100
- all under cloak of secrecy,
- 393
- 00:21:07,202 --> 00:21:09,235
- so that no one would
- know about any of it
- 394
- 00:21:09,337 --> 00:21:10,770
- until you were gone.
- 395
- 00:21:10,872 --> 00:21:14,306
- What's the rest,
- you're gonna tell my wife?
- 396
- 00:21:14,408 --> 00:21:15,575
- I'm trying to protect her.
- 397
- 00:21:15,677 --> 00:21:18,277
- So I have something you want
- and you're coming for it.
- 398
- 00:21:18,379 --> 00:21:20,245
- That's an average Wednesday for me.
- 399
- 00:21:20,347 --> 00:21:22,247
- The cuticles.
- 400
- 00:21:22,349 --> 00:21:24,149
- You do that while getting fellated?
- 401
- 00:21:24,251 --> 00:21:25,885
- Long as I nut, who cares?
- 402
- 00:21:25,987 --> 00:21:28,054
- Are you offering to
- fellate me for the plot?
- 403
- 00:21:28,155 --> 00:21:29,521
- 'Cause that's a hard no.
- 404
- 00:21:32,893 --> 00:21:35,094
- Look, man,
- 405
- 00:21:35,196 --> 00:21:38,830
- I have fucked up a lot in life.
- 406
- 00:21:38,932 --> 00:21:40,632
- I want to do death right.
- 407
- 00:21:40,734 --> 00:21:42,934
- Wagner, you're not my problem
- 408
- 00:21:43,036 --> 00:21:45,104
- on either side of the mortal plane.
- 409
- 00:21:45,206 --> 00:21:47,672
- How's this: The plot is yours.
- 410
- 00:21:48,775 --> 00:21:50,675
- If you take immediate occupancy.
- 411
- 00:21:50,777 --> 00:21:53,745
- Otherwise, be the fuck from my office.
- 412
- 00:22:04,390 --> 00:22:06,324
- Legend is, King Cole
- 413
- 00:22:06,426 --> 00:22:10,428
- is releasing his royal
- air under that robe.
- 414
- 00:22:10,530 --> 00:22:12,029
- That's why he smiles.
- 415
- 00:22:12,132 --> 00:22:14,499
- Because the jesters have to take it.
- 416
- 00:22:16,503 --> 00:22:17,801
- It's a gesture of respect
- 417
- 00:22:17,903 --> 00:22:20,370
- that we alerted you in
- advance of your removal.
- 418
- 00:22:20,472 --> 00:22:23,406
- And what a kindness that is.
- 419
- 00:22:23,509 --> 00:22:26,610
- Yet it's of a different style
- than the one I showed you.
- 420
- 00:22:26,712 --> 00:22:29,713
- My support of our worthy cause.
- My fucking ten million.
- 421
- 00:22:29,815 --> 00:22:31,882
- Look, Bobby.
- It's your board-appointed right
- 422
- 00:22:31,984 --> 00:22:33,150
- to appear at the meeting.
- 423
- 00:22:33,252 --> 00:22:35,452
- But you know how things leak.
- 424
- 00:22:35,554 --> 00:22:40,023
- I wouldn't want you to be
- portrayed as desperate and begging.
- 425
- 00:22:44,263 --> 00:22:46,896
- I'm a problem for you.
- 426
- 00:22:46,998 --> 00:22:48,665
- Your board thrives in the dark,
- 427
- 00:22:48,767 --> 00:22:51,701
- slurping up the fringe bennies...
- 428
- 00:22:51,803 --> 00:22:54,203
- the five star lunches, the golf junkets,
- 429
- 00:22:54,305 --> 00:22:58,708
- the safaris under the guise of
- "fact finding missions."
- 430
- 00:22:58,810 --> 00:23:01,044
- My presence shines an unwanted light,
- 431
- 00:23:01,146 --> 00:23:04,947
- 'cause I'm someone who
- actually works for a living.
- 432
- 00:23:05,050 --> 00:23:07,249
- The conduct of the board,
- under<i> your</i> direction,
- 433
- 00:23:07,351 --> 00:23:09,118
- will be found out.
- 434
- 00:23:10,454 --> 00:23:12,854
- And nothing will change.
- 435
- 00:23:12,956 --> 00:23:14,923
- Because that's how
- it's been for all time.
- 436
- 00:23:15,025 --> 00:23:16,925
- Mm.
- 437
- 00:23:17,027 --> 00:23:21,863
- A little cronyism greases
- the wheels of the machine.
- 438
- 00:23:21,965 --> 00:23:25,634
- And no T-shirt Billie
- with the law on his tail
- 439
- 00:23:25,736 --> 00:23:27,602
- is going to change that.
- 440
- 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,574
- Fart in my fucking presence
- 441
- 00:23:32,676 --> 00:23:35,143
- and your reign will meet a swift end.
- 442
- 00:23:38,582 --> 00:23:42,017
- <i>We'll return to the frolic,</i>
- 443
- 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:46,987
- but a few awards must find
- their deserving recipients.
- 444
- 00:23:47,090 --> 00:23:50,825
- The first is a
- Distinguished Service Award.
- 445
- 00:23:50,927 --> 00:23:52,260
- Given to an individual
- 446
- 00:23:52,362 --> 00:23:56,264
- who has exemplified the<i> Lux et veritas</i>
- 447
- 00:23:56,366 --> 00:23:58,966
- that guides this institution:
- 448
- 00:23:59,068 --> 00:24:00,968
- Mr. Charles Rhoades.
- 449
- 00:24:08,077 --> 00:24:10,377
- My remarks would pale
- 450
- 00:24:10,479 --> 00:24:13,748
- beside those of someone
- who knows him best.
- 451
- 00:24:13,850 --> 00:24:15,616
- So.
- 452
- 00:24:15,718 --> 00:24:19,386
- A surprise guest to present this award.
- 453
- 00:24:19,488 --> 00:24:23,290
- US Attorney for the Southern
- District of New York.
- 454
- 00:24:23,392 --> 00:24:27,794
- Mr. Chuck Rhoades Junior.
- 455
- 00:24:39,207 --> 00:24:42,075
- Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
- 456
- 00:24:42,177 --> 00:24:44,210
- Uh...
- 457
- 00:24:44,312 --> 00:24:46,913
- It was a short walk for me to get here.
- 458
- 00:24:47,015 --> 00:24:51,884
- My 25 year reunion is
- happening 100 yards east.
- 459
- 00:24:51,986 --> 00:24:53,020
- So...
- 460
- 00:24:54,522 --> 00:24:57,790
- But in truth...
- 461
- 00:24:57,892 --> 00:25:02,695
- it's been a short walk for me
- to get most anywhere in life.
- 462
- 00:25:02,797 --> 00:25:07,699
- My father, Charles Rhoades,
- made sure of this.
- 463
- 00:25:07,802 --> 00:25:11,703
- He had me at 25 years old.
- 464
- 00:25:11,806 --> 00:25:14,940
- An age at which I was
- finishing law school.
- 465
- 00:25:15,042 --> 00:25:17,910
- Drinking as I pleased.
- 466
- 00:25:18,012 --> 00:25:20,212
- Chasing women,
- 467
- 00:25:20,314 --> 00:25:22,213
- if not always catching up.
- 468
- 00:25:24,150 --> 00:25:27,385
- But my father stepped up and sacrificed
- 469
- 00:25:27,487 --> 00:25:29,854
- the remaining years of
- his life as a young man,
- 470
- 00:25:29,956 --> 00:25:34,793
- to ensure that I got the<i> right</i> start.
- 471
- 00:25:34,894 --> 00:25:37,261
- And as I grew,
- 472
- 00:25:37,364 --> 00:25:41,432
- he taught me to recognize
- and seize opportunity.
- 473
- 00:25:41,534 --> 00:25:45,336
- The value of loyalty and alliances.
- 474
- 00:25:47,506 --> 00:25:50,107
- The obligations of privilege.
- 475
- 00:25:51,110 --> 00:25:52,443
- In essence,
- 476
- 00:25:52,545 --> 00:25:55,446
- he gave me the key to the
- workings of the world.
- 477
- 00:25:57,182 --> 00:26:00,884
- He handed me<i> every</i> advantage.
- 478
- 00:26:00,986 --> 00:26:04,855
- And his sense of duty has carried forth.
- 479
- 00:26:06,392 --> 00:26:11,061
- The Distinguished Service Award.
- To a distinguished man.
- 480
- 00:26:11,163 --> 00:26:12,762
- A life of service.
- 481
- 00:26:15,167 --> 00:26:16,499
- Come get this thing, Dad.
- 482
- 00:26:18,070 --> 00:26:19,202
- Oh.
- 483
- 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:50,165
- Dad.
- 484
- 00:26:53,737 --> 00:26:56,705
- You played those heart
- strings like Orpheus.
- 485
- 00:26:58,842 --> 00:27:00,376
- To no avail.
- 486
- 00:27:00,477 --> 00:27:03,845
- And on this hallowed ground,
- the site of my greatest conquests,
- 487
- 00:27:03,947 --> 00:27:08,917
- you have the impertinence
- to show your weakest self.
- 488
- 00:27:13,424 --> 00:27:14,856
- Connecticut Hall.
- 489
- 00:27:14,958 --> 00:27:18,726
- I fucked three girls in there once,
- in a 24 hour period.
- 490
- 00:27:18,828 --> 00:27:20,395
- One in the can.
- 491
- 00:27:20,496 --> 00:27:23,131
- You screwed a girl in a dorm bathroom?
- 492
- 00:27:25,001 --> 00:27:26,301
- No, sonny.
- 493
- 00:27:29,272 --> 00:27:30,972
- Well. That was before AIDS.
- 494
- 00:27:31,074 --> 00:27:32,273
- Wouldn't have stopped us.
- 495
- 00:27:32,375 --> 00:27:34,741
- Fact that it stopped your
- generation says it all.
- 496
- 00:27:34,843 --> 00:27:37,377
- We forged ahead, damn the torpedoes.
- 497
- 00:27:39,815 --> 00:27:42,416
- I should have known better.
- 498
- 00:27:42,517 --> 00:27:45,485
- The sentimental approach was
- never going to work on you.
- 499
- 00:27:47,056 --> 00:27:51,724
- I realize I may endure the
- consequences of what I've done.
- 500
- 00:27:51,827 --> 00:27:53,827
- May go down.
- 501
- 00:27:54,631 --> 00:27:57,063
- And if you are unable to protect me...
- 502
- 00:27:57,165 --> 00:27:59,165
- I want to know that
- you'll protect Kevin.
- 503
- 00:28:01,035 --> 00:28:03,135
- Be the man in his life.
- 504
- 00:28:04,940 --> 00:28:06,705
- My speech was under false pretenses.
- 505
- 00:28:06,807 --> 00:28:08,907
- But there was truth in it.
- 506
- 00:28:10,979 --> 00:28:12,378
- You were a role model.
- 507
- 00:28:16,584 --> 00:28:18,384
- The boy will be looked after.
- 508
- 00:28:18,486 --> 00:28:19,452
- Ok.
- 509
- 00:28:19,553 --> 00:28:23,188
- But please,
- none of that Uncle Maurice shit.
- 510
- 00:28:24,525 --> 00:28:26,358
- We walk in together.
- 511
- 00:28:27,187 --> 00:28:29,427
- You collect your wife.
- 512
- 00:28:30,170 --> 00:28:33,465
- Some people find you impressive.
- So you will shake a few hands.
- 513
- 00:28:33,567 --> 00:28:34,867
- Then leave.
- 514
- 00:28:40,403 --> 00:28:42,140
- <i>Manticore-2 sits ready to launch.</i>
- 515
- 00:28:44,677 --> 00:28:46,911
- Last scrub was T-Minus 8.
- 516
- 00:28:47,014 --> 00:28:49,014
- <i>T-Minus 10 seconds.</i>
- 517
- 00:28:51,351 --> 00:28:52,650
- It's gonna happen...
- 518
- 00:28:52,752 --> 00:28:56,854
- <i>Four, three, two, one.</i>
- 519
- 00:29:02,261 --> 00:29:04,161
- <i>And we have liftoff.</i>
- 520
- 00:29:37,328 --> 00:29:40,597
- <i>We're now standing by for updates...</i>
- 521
- 00:29:40,699 --> 00:29:42,098
- Who's gonna say it?
- 522
- 00:29:45,970 --> 00:29:48,104
- Fuck it. I'll say it.
- 523
- 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,175
- Farpoint is gonna<i> tank!</i>
- 524
- 00:29:53,678 --> 00:29:56,912
- It's payday on that beautiful short!
- 525
- 00:29:58,550 --> 00:30:01,117
- You didn't put a banana
- in his tailpipe, did ya?
- 526
- 00:30:05,489 --> 00:30:07,089
- Yeah! Fuck, yeah!
- 527
- 00:30:32,782 --> 00:30:34,015
- Hey.
- 528
- 00:30:36,853 --> 00:30:38,419
- Craig Heidecker died.
- 529
- 00:30:42,759 --> 00:30:45,860
- His... it, exploded.
- 530
- 00:30:47,831 --> 00:30:51,165
- Well isn't that a shame...
- 531
- 00:30:51,267 --> 00:30:53,534
- A real goddamn shame.
- 532
- 00:31:00,876 --> 00:31:02,709
- I'm sorry, Wendy.
- 533
- 00:31:06,415 --> 00:31:08,115
- For your loss.
- 534
- 00:31:09,885 --> 00:31:14,187
- Mr. Rhoades,
- I wanted to introduce myself.
- 535
- 00:31:14,289 --> 00:31:16,890
- - My son was...
- - Excuse me.
- 536
- 00:31:16,992 --> 00:31:19,492
- My son was on the law review with you.
- 537
- 00:31:20,929 --> 00:31:23,063
- He admired you greatly.
- 538
- 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,099
- As the manager of the factory,
- 539
- 00:31:27,202 --> 00:31:29,935
- you know the placement of
- the surveillance cameras.
- 540
- 00:31:30,038 --> 00:31:32,472
- But not well enough to avoid them all.
- 541
- 00:31:32,574 --> 00:31:35,808
- We have you pissing in the soup.
- 542
- 00:31:35,910 --> 00:31:37,977
- And people's lives were
- placed in jeopardy.
- 543
- 00:31:38,079 --> 00:31:40,280
- Which puts your freedom
- in that same position.
- 544
- 00:31:40,382 --> 00:31:42,281
- I was told they weren't in any danger,
- 545
- 00:31:42,383 --> 00:31:43,916
- that a doctor was consulted.
- 546
- 00:31:44,018 --> 00:31:45,718
- A doctor?
- 547
- 00:31:45,820 --> 00:31:49,021
- Trace amounts, he said.
- Keep it as safe as can be.
- 548
- 00:31:49,123 --> 00:31:52,424
- The man who instructed you.
- Describe him.
- 549
- 00:31:52,526 --> 00:31:54,326
- Fifties.
- 550
- 00:31:54,428 --> 00:31:55,861
- Bald.
- 551
- 00:31:55,963 --> 00:31:57,529
- Glasses...
- 552
- 00:31:57,631 --> 00:31:59,231
- Medium nose.
- 553
- 00:32:03,036 --> 00:32:06,104
- And like that. Work begets results.
- 554
- 00:32:08,008 --> 00:32:09,441
- I looked closer.
- 555
- 00:32:09,543 --> 00:32:11,976
- Pierced the firewall
- on Senior's position.
- 556
- 00:32:12,079 --> 00:32:14,979
- And its size matches that
- of a trust in Chuck's name.
- 557
- 00:32:15,082 --> 00:32:17,548
- Question is:
- did Senior violate the trust?
- 558
- 00:32:17,650 --> 00:32:19,450
- Or was he directed to do it?
- 559
- 00:32:21,054 --> 00:32:22,787
- Hm.
- 560
- 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,252
- Important questions, no doubt...
- 561
- 00:32:25,287 --> 00:32:27,658
- The only ones that fucking matter.
- And about time we got the answers.
- 562
- 00:32:27,761 --> 00:32:30,128
- Can't look away from it anymore, Oliver.
- 563
- 00:32:31,564 --> 00:32:34,232
- Perhaps an exploratory meeting
- with Rhoades Senior then.
- 564
- 00:32:34,334 --> 00:32:36,567
- I may have already done that.
- 565
- 00:32:36,669 --> 00:32:37,468
- Ah.
- 566
- 00:32:37,570 --> 00:32:39,103
- He's gonna require immunity to come in
- 567
- 00:32:39,205 --> 00:32:41,105
- and I'm gonna offer it.
- But I need your sign off.
- 568
- 00:32:41,207 --> 00:32:43,407
- Or furnish me a fucking
- reason you'd refuse me.
- 569
- 00:32:43,509 --> 00:32:44,842
- In writing.
- 570
- 00:32:46,112 --> 00:32:47,510
- Offer it.
- 571
- 00:33:03,262 --> 00:33:04,894
- Bourbon in a cup.
- 572
- 00:33:18,143 --> 00:33:19,342
- Thanks.
- 573
- 00:33:22,380 --> 00:33:24,713
- So you knew.
- 574
- 00:33:24,816 --> 00:33:28,584
- - Had me followed.
- - No, no.
- 575
- 00:33:28,686 --> 00:33:31,387
- But my father did.
- 576
- 00:33:31,489 --> 00:33:33,656
- And he told me.
- 577
- 00:33:35,226 --> 00:33:36,892
- Took pleasure in it.
- 578
- 00:33:38,763 --> 00:33:40,829
- Chuck... It...
- 579
- 00:33:40,931 --> 00:33:44,400
- It was a symptom of...
- 580
- 00:33:44,502 --> 00:33:46,702
- disarray in our marriage.
- 581
- 00:33:48,572 --> 00:33:50,138
- I caused that disarray,
- 582
- 00:33:51,924 --> 00:33:54,276
- and it has since been ordered.
- 583
- 00:33:57,815 --> 00:34:01,283
- And we're going to leave it at that?
- 584
- 00:34:01,384 --> 00:34:04,452
- This won't come back around later.
- 585
- 00:34:05,055 --> 00:34:07,956
- It leveled me, Wendy.
- 586
- 00:34:08,058 --> 00:34:09,557
- That's the truth.
- 587
- 00:34:12,829 --> 00:34:16,197
- Broke parts of me I didn't know existed.
- 588
- 00:34:19,268 --> 00:34:21,636
- But that pain focused me,
- 589
- 00:34:21,738 --> 00:34:24,271
- on priorities both work and home.
- 590
- 00:34:24,374 --> 00:34:27,574
- So I'm glad for that.
- 591
- 00:34:27,676 --> 00:34:29,877
- And if it does rise,
- 592
- 00:34:29,979 --> 00:34:34,381
- I will do my best to bring it
- to you in a civilized manner.
- 593
- 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:53,567
- Ahh.
- 594
- 00:34:55,804 --> 00:34:59,038
- I told you about my first time.
- 595
- 00:35:00,508 --> 00:35:01,841
- - With the junior...
- - Yes.
- 596
- 00:35:01,943 --> 00:35:04,244
- Yes. Wasn't so.
- 597
- 00:35:04,346 --> 00:35:07,413
- She was my first amateur.
- 598
- 00:35:07,515 --> 00:35:11,217
- Uncle Maurice took me to a brothel
- 599
- 00:35:11,319 --> 00:35:13,887
- on my fourteenth birthday.
- 600
- 00:35:13,989 --> 00:35:15,454
- So young.
- 601
- 00:35:15,556 --> 00:35:17,089
- That's practically Kevin's age.
- 602
- 00:35:17,191 --> 00:35:18,323
- Yeah.
- 603
- 00:35:22,463 --> 00:35:25,765
- I was as ashamed as I was nervous
- 604
- 00:35:25,867 --> 00:35:27,600
- as I was excited.
- 605
- 00:35:28,669 --> 00:35:33,438
- And Uncle Maurice swore it
- would be between me and him...
- 606
- 00:35:33,540 --> 00:35:37,509
- but when I got home,
- my father was waiting up for me.
- 607
- 00:35:37,611 --> 00:35:40,078
- And he knew all about it.
- 608
- 00:35:40,180 --> 00:35:42,948
- Told me<i> he'd</i> picked Ginger for me,
- 609
- 00:35:43,050 --> 00:35:47,119
- that he<i> knew</i> she'd get
- the job done right.
- 610
- 00:35:47,221 --> 00:35:49,521
- Take me "'round the world."
- 611
- 00:35:49,623 --> 00:35:52,557
- You discovered he was unfaithful.
- 612
- 00:35:52,659 --> 00:35:54,058
- Mm-hmm.
- 613
- 00:35:55,295 --> 00:35:58,696
- And it was the first time
- 614
- 00:35:58,799 --> 00:36:01,800
- my father ever said he was proud of me.
- 615
- 00:36:13,846 --> 00:36:15,746
- So... how was Ginger?
- 616
- 00:36:19,585 --> 00:36:21,685
- Well, Dad was right about that.
- 617
- 00:36:21,787 --> 00:36:25,199
- Yeah. She took me 'round the world.
- 618
- 00:36:27,392 --> 00:36:28,724
- Ohh.
- 619
- 00:36:30,897 --> 00:36:32,329
- - Yeah?
- <i>- It's happening.</i>
- 620
- 00:36:32,431 --> 00:36:34,297
- <i>Your father is being brought in.</i>
- 621
- 00:36:34,399 --> 00:36:36,132
- <i>All on the record now.</i>
- 622
- 00:36:36,234 --> 00:36:38,001
- <i>You'd better prepare yourself.</i>
- 623
- 00:36:47,846 --> 00:36:50,145
- Connerty's got my father.
- 624
- 00:36:50,247 --> 00:36:52,147
- Hm.
- 625
- 00:36:52,249 --> 00:36:55,317
- This evening was a misstep.
- 626
- 00:36:55,419 --> 00:36:59,088
- I should know the man by now.
- Anticipate his reactions.
- 627
- 00:36:59,190 --> 00:37:01,590
- Not act on what I hope them to be.
- 628
- 00:37:01,692 --> 00:37:04,493
- You do know your father.
- And how he responds.
- 629
- 00:37:04,595 --> 00:37:05,827
- All too well.
- 630
- 00:37:05,929 --> 00:37:07,696
- That's right. I do.
- 631
- 00:37:07,798 --> 00:37:09,465
- And you need to use that.
- 632
- 00:37:09,971 --> 00:37:11,367
- Exploit it.
- 633
- 00:37:15,462 --> 00:37:17,762
- _
- 634
- 00:37:20,243 --> 00:37:21,510
- Just occurred to me.
- 635
- 00:37:21,612 --> 00:37:25,680
- We only sup when
- difficulties are at hand.
- 636
- 00:37:25,782 --> 00:37:28,316
- But perhaps this time is different?
- 637
- 00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:33,720
- My father's going to serve me up.
- 638
- 00:37:33,822 --> 00:37:37,423
- So you may need a new
- horse for the governorship.
- 639
- 00:37:37,526 --> 00:37:41,661
- Well, only so
- if you're willing to surrender.
- 640
- 00:37:41,763 --> 00:37:45,264
- - Are you?
- - I am not, willingly.
- 641
- 00:37:45,366 --> 00:37:48,735
- But circumstance may cost me it.
- 642
- 00:37:49,341 --> 00:37:51,047
- I have tried
- 643
- 00:37:51,272 --> 00:37:53,906
- almost all manner of appeal.
- 644
- 00:37:54,008 --> 00:37:55,941
- Almost all...
- 645
- 00:37:57,845 --> 00:38:01,313
- Well, then I believe Joe
- Scolari can be of help.
- 646
- 00:38:01,416 --> 00:38:03,182
- Your father's Kingsford land
- 647
- 00:38:03,284 --> 00:38:05,851
- is in the good state senator's domain.
- 648
- 00:38:05,953 --> 00:38:09,487
- Which presently works
- in your father's favor.
- 649
- 00:38:09,590 --> 00:38:11,456
- But that can change.
- 650
- 00:38:14,628 --> 00:38:18,496
- To do so, however,
- would be a move you cannot walk back.
- 651
- 00:38:22,302 --> 00:38:23,568
- So, are you sure?
- 652
- 00:38:29,076 --> 00:38:30,908
- <i>Craig Heidecker's wristwatch</i>
- 653
- 00:38:31,010 --> 00:38:32,043
- <i>contained 456 pieces.</i>
- 654
- 00:38:32,145 --> 00:38:33,744
- <i>Inside a 38 millimeter case.</i>
- 655
- 00:38:33,846 --> 00:38:36,681
- Hand assembled by one horologist
- over the course of a year.
- 656
- 00:38:36,783 --> 00:38:39,584
- Some of the pieces are
- invisible to the naked eye.
- 657
- 00:38:39,686 --> 00:38:42,286
- It's precise to plus or minus
- point-five seconds a day.
- 658
- 00:38:42,388 --> 00:38:46,123
- As close to faultless
- precision as possible.
- 659
- 00:38:46,225 --> 00:38:48,025
- That's how he lived.
- 660
- 00:38:48,127 --> 00:38:49,594
- I know how he lived.
- 661
- 00:38:51,798 --> 00:38:53,898
- We, uh...
- 662
- 00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,400
- worked together. Briefly.
- 663
- 00:39:02,308 --> 00:39:05,242
- Look, he understood
- 664
- 00:39:05,344 --> 00:39:08,112
- precision is an objective, not an end.
- 665
- 00:39:08,214 --> 00:39:10,614
- It's what gets one as near
- to perfect as possible.
- 666
- 00:39:10,716 --> 00:39:15,518
- But perfection is unobtainable.
- 667
- 00:39:15,621 --> 00:39:17,053
- That's hard for you to accept
- 668
- 00:39:17,155 --> 00:39:20,724
- because in some areas
- it is within your grasp.
- 669
- 00:39:20,826 --> 00:39:22,092
- Math is perfect.
- 670
- 00:39:22,967 --> 00:39:24,016
- And he did the math.
- 671
- 00:39:24,051 --> 00:39:25,795
- A thousand times a day,
- a thousand days in advance.
- 672
- 00:39:25,897 --> 00:39:28,397
- Before he put his life inside
- that vessel. I am sure.
- 673
- 00:39:28,500 --> 00:39:31,400
- But there's always "X." The unknown.
- 674
- 00:39:31,503 --> 00:39:33,669
- A buildup of oxygen
- in the aluminum liner.
- 675
- 00:39:33,771 --> 00:39:35,871
- Can't be solved for. He'd know this too.
- 676
- 00:39:35,973 --> 00:39:38,040
- And he decided the risk was worth it.
- 677
- 00:39:38,143 --> 00:39:39,408
- The success of that mission
- 678
- 00:39:39,511 --> 00:39:41,577
- would determine the
- viability of his vision:
- 679
- 00:39:41,679 --> 00:39:43,412
- To make the universe hospitable.
- 680
- 00:39:43,515 --> 00:39:44,947
- Because we'll need it to be.
- 681
- 00:39:46,583 --> 00:39:47,950
- I knew the risk was too great.
- 682
- 00:39:48,052 --> 00:39:50,385
- The signs read this way.
- And I bet against him.
- 683
- 00:39:52,256 --> 00:39:55,190
- He wanted to save our lives...
- 684
- 00:39:55,292 --> 00:39:57,159
- I profited off his death.
- 685
- 00:39:58,529 --> 00:40:02,397
- You lost a hero and
- were rewarded for it.
- 686
- 00:40:02,499 --> 00:40:04,832
- These things are in conflict.
- 687
- 00:40:06,936 --> 00:40:10,372
- But conflicting emotions
- require<i> we</i> resolve the conflict.
- 688
- 00:40:10,474 --> 00:40:12,607
- Can they be resolved?
- 689
- 00:40:12,709 --> 00:40:14,042
- One emotion has to prevail.
- 690
- 00:40:14,144 --> 00:40:16,545
- Otherwise you languish
- while the dispute carries on
- 691
- 00:40:16,647 --> 00:40:18,880
- and you miss opportunities.
- 692
- 00:40:20,817 --> 00:40:24,518
- It's normal to feel two things at once.
- 693
- 00:40:24,620 --> 00:40:26,921
- But when you're here.
- 694
- 00:40:27,023 --> 00:40:29,490
- Mind the truth that makes you money.
- 695
- 00:40:36,632 --> 00:40:39,132
- I brought pie. So to speak...
- 696
- 00:40:39,235 --> 00:40:40,867
- Seeing as we'll be neighbors.
- 697
- 00:40:40,969 --> 00:40:41,968
- Oh, it's you.
- 698
- 00:40:42,071 --> 00:40:43,837
- The plot is spoken for.
- 699
- 00:40:43,939 --> 00:40:44,971
- Nussfaur?
- 700
- 00:40:45,074 --> 00:40:46,840
- I heard you're on your ass.
- 701
- 00:40:46,942 --> 00:40:49,310
- You can't afford a
- choice patch like this.
- 702
- 00:40:50,646 --> 00:40:51,812
- That's fucking hilarious,
- 703
- 00:40:51,914 --> 00:40:53,980
- considering my wire
- has already been sent.
- 704
- 00:40:54,083 --> 00:40:55,215
- Is that right?
- 705
- 00:40:55,317 --> 00:40:57,084
- Just here to sign.
- 706
- 00:40:57,186 --> 00:40:59,152
- You can kiss my red eye on my way out.
- 707
- 00:40:59,254 --> 00:41:02,689
- Things I'm hearing,
- I'd check the wire if I were you...
- 708
- 00:41:02,791 --> 00:41:04,758
- Knock yourself out.
- 709
- 00:41:08,363 --> 00:41:12,965
- It... appears his...
- your deposit has been retracted.
- 710
- 00:41:13,067 --> 00:41:15,401
- There's insufficient funds.
- 711
- 00:41:15,503 --> 00:41:16,902
- That's bullshit!
- 712
- 00:41:17,004 --> 00:41:19,405
- I keep 350 in my car ashtray.
- 713
- 00:41:19,507 --> 00:41:21,040
- Sir, if you can't pay...
- 714
- 00:41:21,142 --> 00:41:23,042
- I can and I did.
- 715
- 00:41:23,144 --> 00:41:24,544
- Probably over extended.
- 716
- 00:41:24,646 --> 00:41:27,813
- His marriage is collapsing
- like the walls of Jericho.
- 717
- 00:41:27,915 --> 00:41:29,915
- Where'd you get that crap?
- 718
- 00:41:30,017 --> 00:41:32,985
- I read about you being outed
- with your mistress on Page Six.
- 719
- 00:41:34,421 --> 00:41:35,420
- May I?
- 720
- 00:41:36,490 --> 00:41:38,357
- Shit!
- 721
- 00:41:38,459 --> 00:41:41,293
- I'll have you hoisted by your
- scrotum for this, Wagner.
- 722
- 00:41:43,597 --> 00:41:46,531
- So now you have a vacancy.
- 723
- 00:41:47,901 --> 00:41:50,469
- And now you don't.
- 724
- 00:41:54,975 --> 00:41:56,841
- <i>You leave boards all the time.</i>
- 725
- 00:41:56,943 --> 00:41:58,643
- Yeah. When<i> I</i> fucking choose to.
- 726
- 00:41:58,745 --> 00:42:00,845
- I don't choose to leave this one.
- 727
- 00:42:00,947 --> 00:42:02,613
- So you're not gonna go gracefully.
- 728
- 00:42:02,715 --> 00:42:04,482
- I am going into that room,
- 729
- 00:42:04,584 --> 00:42:06,384
- and I am gonna play duck duck goose.
- 730
- 00:42:06,486 --> 00:42:08,953
- I'm gonna remind each and
- every fucking one of them
- 731
- 00:42:09,055 --> 00:42:11,389
- how I've personally enriched them.
- 732
- 00:42:11,491 --> 00:42:13,057
- And I am calling in the return.
- 733
- 00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:16,160
- There's little to be
- gained by instigating foes.
- 734
- 00:42:16,709 --> 00:42:19,430
- Then they will be taught there
- is no strength in numbers.
- 735
- 00:42:19,532 --> 00:42:20,898
- Fats McCarthy,
- 736
- 00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,267
- he killed 22 Germans and captured fifty.
- 737
- 00:42:23,369 --> 00:42:26,136
- A half-kilometer of a
- trench by his own hand.
- 738
- 00:42:26,238 --> 00:42:27,738
- I can take this fucking board.
- 739
- 00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:29,540
- So you're an army of one?
- 740
- 00:42:29,642 --> 00:42:31,675
- And fortified.
- 741
- 00:42:36,315 --> 00:42:37,681
- There<i> is</i> a toxicity
- 742
- 00:42:37,783 --> 00:42:39,783
- that comes with being
- charged with a crime.
- 743
- 00:42:41,053 --> 00:42:42,953
- Sure, it may matter
- to people in finance,
- 744
- 00:42:43,055 --> 00:42:45,222
- but their reputations
- are buttressed by money.
- 745
- 00:42:45,324 --> 00:42:47,824
- Philanthropies<i> only</i>
- have their reputation.
- 746
- 00:42:47,926 --> 00:42:50,893
- And you are a threat to theirs.
- 747
- 00:42:50,995 --> 00:42:53,496
- It's like academia.
- Everything's a big fucking deal,
- 748
- 00:42:53,598 --> 00:42:55,498
- because the stakes are so small...
- 749
- 00:42:59,137 --> 00:43:02,339
- So this is where we live now...
- 750
- 00:43:02,441 --> 00:43:04,473
- in retreat.
- 751
- 00:43:04,575 --> 00:43:06,608
- We fall back. We preserve.
- 752
- 00:43:06,711 --> 00:43:07,910
- We defend.
- 753
- 00:43:14,418 --> 00:43:16,285
- It'll pass when you clear your name.
- 754
- 00:43:16,387 --> 00:43:18,855
- But for now, you need to embrace
- 755
- 00:43:18,957 --> 00:43:22,324
- the victory of self-awareness.
- Because out in the world,
- 756
- 00:43:22,426 --> 00:43:24,460
- you might keep taking losses for awhile.
- 757
- 00:43:26,430 --> 00:43:28,129
- That's where you're at.
- 758
- 00:43:31,134 --> 00:43:33,101
- We both are.
- 759
- 00:43:49,186 --> 00:43:52,120
- I'd like to push the final
- item to the top of the agenda.
- 760
- 00:43:52,222 --> 00:43:54,955
- Changing the agenda
- requires a unanimous vote.
- 761
- 00:43:55,057 --> 00:43:57,224
- I'll expedite: you don't have it.
- 762
- 00:43:59,496 --> 00:44:00,928
- Fine.
- 763
- 00:44:01,030 --> 00:44:02,630
- First order.
- 764
- 00:44:02,732 --> 00:44:05,199
- Oscar Langstraat,
- one of our most important donors,
- 765
- 00:44:05,301 --> 00:44:08,503
- would like to address
- the board regarding a...
- 766
- 00:44:08,605 --> 00:44:10,938
- Venture Philanthropy initiative.
- 767
- 00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:12,339
- Thank you.
- 768
- 00:44:12,441 --> 00:44:14,341
- I value your good works.
- 769
- 00:44:14,443 --> 00:44:18,712
- But organizations must change,
- because the world is changing.
- 770
- 00:44:18,814 --> 00:44:22,349
- Venture Philanthropy,
- conducted with precision and care,
- 771
- 00:44:22,451 --> 00:44:23,683
- is that change.
- 772
- 00:44:23,786 --> 00:44:25,185
- We'll need those tents in here,
- 773
- 00:44:25,288 --> 00:44:28,054
- you keep pumping in the fucking hot air.
- 774
- 00:44:28,156 --> 00:44:29,823
- There'll be no crosstalk.
- 775
- 00:44:29,925 --> 00:44:32,692
- So<i> I'll</i> just talk.
- 776
- 00:44:32,795 --> 00:44:36,195
- Venture Philanthropy can work.
- 777
- 00:44:36,298 --> 00:44:39,499
- But it requires a rigorous
- level of oversight.
- 778
- 00:44:39,601 --> 00:44:42,101
- This group isn't built for that.
- 779
- 00:44:43,405 --> 00:44:45,638
- Then what are we built for, Axelrod?
- 780
- 00:44:45,740 --> 00:44:48,107
- Listen, Langstraat,
- I'd love to let you burn them,
- 781
- 00:44:48,209 --> 00:44:50,676
- in the name of burnishing your own rep.
- 782
- 00:44:50,778 --> 00:44:54,080
- But I cannot let you hurt the
- people of sub-Saharan Africa
- 783
- 00:44:54,182 --> 00:44:57,550
- just so you can be part of yet
- one more cutting edge movement.
- 784
- 00:44:57,652 --> 00:44:59,152
- Wake up, Axelrod.
- 785
- 00:44:59,254 --> 00:45:02,020
- Cystic fibrosis is on the
- verge of being treatable,
- 786
- 00:45:02,122 --> 00:45:03,856
- or even curable, thanks to VP.
- 787
- 00:45:03,958 --> 00:45:05,357
- They've created a way
- 788
- 00:45:05,460 --> 00:45:07,860
- to earn the money they need for research
- 789
- 00:45:07,962 --> 00:45:10,062
- instead of endlessly fundraising.
- 790
- 00:45:10,164 --> 00:45:13,966
- Look. Don't try
- and reinvent who we are, here.
- 791
- 00:45:14,068 --> 00:45:17,602
- There is a reason for
- the tried and true...
- 792
- 00:45:17,704 --> 00:45:20,372
- it may not be perfect, but it works.
- 793
- 00:45:21,442 --> 00:45:24,876
- Look, you will make fools of yourselves.
- 794
- 00:45:24,979 --> 00:45:27,412
- A 50 million dollar
- investment in Rayveon Solar
- 795
- 00:45:27,514 --> 00:45:31,183
- would allow the people to bypass
- Africa's failed electric grid
- 796
- 00:45:31,285 --> 00:45:34,318
- in the way cellphones
- bypassed its phone lines.
- 797
- 00:45:34,420 --> 00:45:37,321
- They'll be able to power homes,
- businesses, indoor farms...
- 798
- 00:45:37,423 --> 00:45:38,857
- Like the bard says:
- 799
- 00:45:38,959 --> 00:45:42,460
- save the bold moves for
- the brilliant players.
- 800
- 00:45:42,562 --> 00:45:44,562
- That ain't you.
- 801
- 00:45:44,664 --> 00:45:47,832
- And it sure as shit isn't anybody
- sitting around this table.
- 802
- 00:45:47,934 --> 00:45:50,834
- Spoken like the overpaid
- day trader you are.
- 803
- 00:45:51,878 --> 00:45:55,272
- So says the fucking
- Northern California pipe dreamer.
- 804
- 00:45:55,375 --> 00:45:56,974
- Don't do it, people.
- 805
- 00:46:00,046 --> 00:46:03,514
- Mr. Langstraat's
- proposal goes to a vote.
- 806
- 00:46:03,616 --> 00:46:06,383
- Those in favor of establishing a fund
- 807
- 00:46:06,485 --> 00:46:08,619
- for the purpose of venture investment.
- 808
- 00:46:08,721 --> 00:46:11,021
- As I, for one, certainly am...
- 809
- 00:46:15,083 --> 00:46:17,160
- You're making
- a bigtime fucking mistake...
- 810
- 00:46:22,234 --> 00:46:23,400
- The motion passes.
- 811
- 00:46:25,404 --> 00:46:28,538
- As will, I expect, the next.
- 812
- 00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:30,306
- I motion to remove Robert Axelrod
- 813
- 00:46:30,409 --> 00:46:33,443
- from the World-Aid Consortium
- Board of Directors.
- 814
- 00:46:33,545 --> 00:46:34,777
- Those in favor.
- 815
- 00:46:39,684 --> 00:46:41,817
- The Board thanks you
- for your contribution.
- 816
- 00:46:57,301 --> 00:46:59,701
- To what do I owe the pleasure of a visit
- 817
- 00:46:59,803 --> 00:47:02,471
- from the only state senator who matters?
- 818
- 00:47:02,573 --> 00:47:06,808
- I felt it was only right
- to let you know personally:
- 819
- 00:47:06,910 --> 00:47:08,477
- The Kingsford land
- 820
- 00:47:08,579 --> 00:47:12,814
- may need to be reassigned
- as a conservation area.
- 821
- 00:47:15,218 --> 00:47:18,086
- Eastern elk need all
- the help they can get.
- 822
- 00:47:18,188 --> 00:47:22,490
- Delicate species,
- require a certain habitat.
- 823
- 00:47:22,593 --> 00:47:26,561
- Whereas a casino, like a fungus,
- 824
- 00:47:26,663 --> 00:47:29,230
- will thrive in any dank climate.
- 825
- 00:47:32,168 --> 00:47:36,836
- If the casino moves,
- my land up there is worthless.
- 826
- 00:47:36,938 --> 00:47:40,307
- This is some overreach
- of the canton, Joe.
- 827
- 00:47:44,279 --> 00:47:49,149
- Eastern elk need all
- the help they can get.

- 00:47:49,251 --> 00:47:51,084
- Delicate species.
- 829
- 00:47:51,185 --> 00:47:53,252
- Require a certain habitat.
- 830
- 00:47:57,784 --> 00:47:59,357
- _
- 831
- 00:47:59,527 --> 00:48:01,661
- We are prepared to offer you immunity
- 832
- 00:48:01,763 --> 00:48:04,396
- in exchange for your cooperation.
- 833
- 00:48:04,499 --> 00:48:08,867
- Alternatively.
- Perjury carries five years.
- 834
- 00:48:08,969 --> 00:48:11,637
- Tell me: You have that to spare?
- 835
- 00:48:23,951 --> 00:48:25,750
- Ira is a liar.
- 836
- 00:48:27,420 --> 00:48:32,257
- A disgruntled, failed investor.
- 837
- 00:48:32,359 --> 00:48:36,294
- I touched my son's money
- because I saw a win.
- 838
- 00:48:36,396 --> 00:48:38,095
- I believed it was within the scope
- 839
- 00:48:38,198 --> 00:48:41,098
- of my power as Trustee.
- 840
- 00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:43,901
- Chuck was my victim.
- 841
- 00:48:44,003 --> 00:48:47,972
- And we were both victims
- of Bobby Axelrod.
- 842
- 00:48:48,864 --> 00:48:49,759
- Do you know what happens
- 843
- 00:48:49,794 --> 00:48:51,542
- when that statement gets
- rebutted in open court?
- 844
- 00:48:51,644 --> 00:48:56,346
- I don't want to put you in jail,
- sir, but I will.
- 845
- 00:49:08,327 --> 00:49:11,195
- We've both loved this man...
- 846
- 00:49:11,297 --> 00:49:14,130
- you as his father, me as a sort of son.
- 847
- 00:49:14,232 --> 00:49:17,834
- But it's time to do what's right.
- 848
- 00:49:22,741 --> 00:49:26,442
- I would've thought that
- my son trained you better
- 849
- 00:49:26,544 --> 00:49:28,778
- than to rely on emotion,
- 850
- 00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:33,549
- when only true fortitude
- will get the job done...
- 851
- 00:49:38,256 --> 00:49:40,923
- You have my statement, buckeroo.
- 852
- 00:49:53,604 --> 00:49:57,072
- Well. I gave you your shot with him.
- 853
- 00:49:57,174 --> 00:49:59,441
- Now, pick back up
- on the other witnesses.
- 854
- 00:50:09,519 --> 00:50:11,152
- Do you carry this model?
- 855
- 00:50:11,255 --> 00:50:13,288
- The 5270R in rose gold.
- 856
- 00:50:13,390 --> 00:50:14,556
- We do have one.

- 00:50:44,287 --> 00:50:45,719
- You're welcome to try it on...
- 865
- 00:50:45,821 --> 00:50:47,020
- I'll take it.
- 866
- 00:50:54,096 --> 00:50:55,829
- Nice piece.
- 867
- 00:50:55,931 --> 00:50:57,964
- I'd forgotten what
- your voice sounds like.
- 868
- 00:50:58,066 --> 00:51:00,533
- Because I only heard it
- through Wags. Ayles.
- 869
- 00:51:00,635 --> 00:51:03,036
- You had them work me on
- the tent initiative...
- 870
- 00:51:03,138 --> 00:51:05,138
- The message was received.
- I saw the play.
- 871
- 00:51:05,240 --> 00:51:06,506
- Well enough to act on it?
- 872
- 00:51:07,509 --> 00:51:09,475
- I bought a basket of
- solar to obscure it...
- 873
- 00:51:09,577 --> 00:51:11,076
- ten names... including Rayveon.
- 874
- 00:51:11,179 --> 00:51:12,144
- Good.
- 875
- 00:51:12,246 --> 00:51:14,079
- The board approved the venture fund.
- 876
- 00:51:14,182 --> 00:51:17,350
- Rayveon Solar is churning panels
- out of Shenzhen right now.
- 877
- 00:51:17,452 --> 00:51:18,902
- Your play all along.
- 878
- 00:51:18,937 --> 00:51:20,420
- Get the board to expand the initiative.
- 879
- 00:51:20,522 --> 00:51:22,789
- Axe Cap reaps the win on manufacturing.
- 880
- 00:51:22,890 --> 00:51:25,325
- Your aim is true. So is mine.
- 881
- 00:51:25,427 --> 00:51:26,558
- Heidecker.
- 882
- 00:51:26,660 --> 00:51:29,061
- Farpoint stock price went
- the way of its founder.
- 883
- 00:51:29,163 --> 00:51:30,229
- Our short paid big.
- 884
- 00:51:34,235 --> 00:51:36,401
- About halfway through your screed,
- I realized:
- 885
- 00:51:36,503 --> 00:51:37,837
- You weren't insulting me.
- 886
- 00:51:37,939 --> 00:51:39,104
- We were dancing.
- 887
- 00:51:39,207 --> 00:51:41,740
- Well, I couldn't
- rid myself of my toxicity
- 888
- 00:51:41,843 --> 00:51:43,342
- so I aimed it.
- 889
- 00:51:43,444 --> 00:51:45,744
- For my benefit. They hate you so much,
- 890
- 00:51:45,846 --> 00:51:48,112
- they forgot that they hate me too.
- 891
- 00:51:48,215 --> 00:51:50,181
- Thank you for throwing the vote my way.
- 892
- 00:51:50,283 --> 00:51:51,616
- My pleasure.
- 893
- 00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:52,751
- Oh, I imagine it is.
- 894
- 00:51:52,853 --> 00:51:54,720
- I'm guessing you laid a healthy position
- 895
- 00:51:54,822 --> 00:51:57,322
- in Rayveon Solar in
- advance of the outcome.
- 896
- 00:51:57,424 --> 00:51:58,957
- Oh, no, I don't trade equities.
- 897
- 00:51:59,059 --> 00:52:00,058
- I do.
- 898
- 00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:03,194
- Oscar, my CIO, Taylor Mason.
- 899
- 00:52:06,967 --> 00:52:09,334
- Did you buy in yourself?
- 900
- 00:52:09,435 --> 00:52:10,768
- I don't burn from both ends.
- 901
- 00:52:10,871 --> 00:52:13,571
- It's in the interest of my
- brand to be above reproach.
- 902
- 00:52:13,673 --> 00:52:15,406
- Well, I don't have that luxury...
- 903
- 00:52:15,508 --> 00:52:16,507
- or burden.
- 904
- 00:52:16,609 --> 00:52:18,909
- The fund really is to
- World-Aid's benefit.
- 905
- 00:52:19,011 --> 00:52:21,044
- They'll never know
- the good you did them.
- 906
- 00:52:23,182 --> 00:52:24,314
- To the good we've done.
- 907
- 00:52:24,417 --> 00:52:25,483
- And will do.
- 908
- 00:52:33,525 --> 00:52:35,725
- Do you know why Ethiopians eat this way?
- 909
- 00:52:35,827 --> 00:52:37,560
- Shared? In the center?
- 910
- 00:52:39,644 --> 00:52:41,432
- It's to foster a sense of community.
- 911
- 00:52:41,467 --> 00:52:42,265
- Keep everything in the open.
- 912
- 00:52:42,268 --> 00:52:44,067
- So everyone sees how much is available.
- 913
- 00:52:44,169 --> 00:52:46,303
- And everyone knows they
- got their fair share.
- 914
- 00:52:46,405 --> 00:52:48,171
- It keeps everyone honest...
- 915
- 00:52:48,274 --> 00:52:50,673
- We've all done well today.
- All got our portion.
- 916
- 00:52:50,776 --> 00:52:53,175
- But you two might be better
- suited to a steakhouse.
- 917
- 00:52:53,278 --> 00:52:55,077
- Where everyone has his own plate.
- 918
- 00:52:57,048 --> 00:52:59,816
- Plenty such establishments
- in Mountain View.
- 919
- 00:52:59,918 --> 00:53:01,951
- And I'd be happy to host.
- 920
- 00:53:02,053 --> 00:53:04,287
- You two would find fruit
- in our humble valley.
- 921
- 00:53:05,689 --> 00:53:07,890
- I'll leave this to you two to carve up.
- 922
- 00:53:55,237 --> 00:53:57,939
- I'm proud of you, son.
- 923
- 00:53:59,976 --> 00:54:01,509
- You did what was required.
- 924
- 00:54:03,513 --> 00:54:05,613
- Fucked me good.
- 925
- 00:54:05,715 --> 00:54:06,681
- Damn the torpedoes.
- 926
- 00:54:47,822 --> 00:54:49,188
- Bravo, Wags.
- 927
- 00:54:51,059 --> 00:54:54,860
- As the epitaph shall read.
- 928
- 00:54:54,962 --> 00:54:56,595
- I thought this was a vanity play.
- 929
- 00:54:56,697 --> 00:55:00,566
- But. More a matter of legacy.
- 930
- 00:55:00,668 --> 00:55:01,800
- Some people frontload,
- 931
- 00:55:01,903 --> 00:55:04,603
- establish their legacy early in life.
- 932
- 00:55:04,705 --> 00:55:07,272
- I've left mine to the end...
- 933
- 00:55:07,374 --> 00:55:10,676
- Or hopefully it's only the middle.
- 934
- 00:55:10,778 --> 00:55:12,711
- Who knows?
- 935
- 00:55:12,813 --> 00:55:15,047
- Heidecker knows.
- 936
- 00:55:15,149 --> 00:55:17,315
- Fuck, 33.
- 937
- 00:55:17,418 --> 00:55:18,550
- Too soon.
- 938
- 00:55:18,652 --> 00:55:21,420
- No, dying in your thirties is "tragic."
- 939
- 00:55:21,522 --> 00:55:23,355
- As is forties.
- 940
- 00:55:23,457 --> 00:55:26,191
- Sympathy dissipates from there.
- 941
- 00:55:26,293 --> 00:55:29,727
- Fifties is "such a shame."
- 942
- 00:55:29,829 --> 00:55:31,263
- Sixties is "too soon."
- 943
- 00:55:31,365 --> 00:55:32,931
- Seventies... "a good run."
- 944
- 00:55:33,033 --> 00:55:36,668
- And eighties is "a life well lived."
- 945
- 00:55:38,972 --> 00:55:40,271
- Nineties...
- 946
- 00:55:43,142 --> 00:55:45,543
- That's a fuckin' hell of a ride.
- 947
- 00:55:57,957 --> 00:55:59,623
- Don't get too comfortable.
- 948
- 00:56:03,796 --> 00:56:05,329
- A hell of a ride.
- 949
