1
00:00:00,738 --> 00:00:02,280
<i>Previously
on</i> Billions...

2
00:00:02,281 --> 00:00:04,032
It's been said one
is either a hammer

3
00:00:04,033 --> 00:00:05,867
or an anvil.

4
00:00:05,868 --> 00:00:07,827
Good people have been
the anvil for too long.

5
00:00:07,828 --> 00:00:09,662
I've been seeing an
outside psychiatrist.

6
00:00:09,663 --> 00:00:11,873
Respectfully, this is
separate from what you do.

7
00:00:11,874 --> 00:00:14,042
I've
been expecting you.

8
00:00:14,043 --> 00:00:16,085
Rustle someone's cattle,
they're gonna come looking.

9
00:00:16,086 --> 00:00:17,503
I can't afford to
let Chuck Rhodes

10
00:00:17,504 --> 00:00:18,880
revert to his nature.

11
00:00:18,881 --> 00:00:20,506
So, you're feeding
him some red meat

12
00:00:20,507 --> 00:00:21,924
so you know exactly
where he's coming from.

13
00:00:21,925 --> 00:00:23,342
This is Michael Prince's
Super PAC filing.

14
00:00:23,343 --> 00:00:24,719
What did you learn?

15
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:26,929
Potential violation
of 52 USC 30121.

16
00:00:26,930 --> 00:00:29,390
I'm not in the market
for a performance coach.

17
00:00:29,391 --> 00:00:32,226
I was suggesting therapy.

18
00:00:32,227 --> 00:00:33,853
<i>Time to
send a message.</i>

19
00:00:33,854 --> 00:00:36,898
Let's open an investigation
on Michael Prince.

20
00:00:36,899 --> 00:00:39,942
Chuck Rhodes is charging us for
violations on the Super PAC.

21
00:00:39,943 --> 00:00:41,402
Game on, then.

22
00:00:41,403 --> 00:00:43,613
Nothing for him at
the end of that road.

23
00:00:43,614 --> 00:00:45,907
But I have decided
that he is dangerous,

24
00:00:45,908 --> 00:00:48,076
and I can't be part
of another strongman

25
00:00:48,077 --> 00:00:49,494
entering the world stage.

26
00:00:49,495 --> 00:00:51,746
Before all that
stuff-of-life happens,

27
00:00:51,747 --> 00:00:54,290
we are going to
win cases aplenty.

28
00:00:54,291 --> 00:00:56,919
I goddamn guarantee you that.

29
00:01:44,049 --> 00:01:46,843
Hi, my name is John G.,
and I'm a gambling addict.

30
00:01:46,844 --> 00:01:48,636
Hi, John.

31
00:01:48,637 --> 00:01:51,848
This seemed
legit. Proper.

32
00:01:51,849 --> 00:01:53,307
That's what I kept
telling myself

33
00:01:53,308 --> 00:01:54,475
to shut down the other voice

34
00:01:54,476 --> 00:01:56,061
telling me to run the other way.

35
00:01:57,020 --> 00:02:01,274
NFTs are an investment, right?

36
00:02:01,275 --> 00:02:03,151
Not a gamble.
According to Gary Vee

37
00:02:03,152 --> 00:02:04,902
and all those other guys.

38
00:02:04,903 --> 00:02:07,655
And that is probably true...

39
00:02:07,656 --> 00:02:09,490
for some folks.

40
00:02:09,491 --> 00:02:11,492
Regular folks.

41
00:02:11,493 --> 00:02:14,495
But I should have
recognized the rush.

42
00:02:14,496 --> 00:02:17,832
The hunger. That deep-seated...

43
00:02:17,833 --> 00:02:19,500
secret need to lose.

44
00:02:19,501 --> 00:02:21,587
Just lose.

45
00:02:22,713 --> 00:02:26,549
And those shady fucking guys.

46
00:02:26,550 --> 00:02:28,676
Well, there was one
shady fucking guy.

47
00:02:28,677 --> 00:02:31,012
Eh, computer nerd. Taiwanese.

48
00:02:31,013 --> 00:02:33,306
Kal Huang Liu.

49
00:02:33,307 --> 00:02:35,641
He had amazing
bona fides, but...

50
00:02:35,642 --> 00:02:39,353
he turned out to
be a motherfucker.

51
00:02:39,354 --> 00:02:41,355
Scamster.

52
00:02:41,356 --> 00:02:43,065
And I... I can't do
anything about it

53
00:02:43,066 --> 00:02:46,360
'cause his daddy is
some Asian tycoon

54
00:02:46,361 --> 00:02:50,823
with more lawyers than I've
got ass pimples, so, um...

55
00:02:52,868 --> 00:02:54,203
So, now I am back to zero.

56
00:02:55,579 --> 00:02:58,873
Less than zero, like
that movie says.

57
00:02:58,874 --> 00:03:01,501
And back in G.A.
rooms, counting days.

58
00:03:03,086 --> 00:03:04,879
Shit.

59
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,466
Uh, thanks for listening.

60
00:03:14,264 --> 00:03:15,723
Tough one, kid.

61
00:03:15,724 --> 00:03:17,475
Oh, thanks.

62
00:03:17,476 --> 00:03:20,561
You know, it, uh,
was Elvis Costello

63
00:03:20,562 --> 00:03:22,563
who came up with
"Less Than Zero"

64
00:03:22,564 --> 00:03:25,399
before that, uh, vampire
at Bennington did.

65
00:03:26,652 --> 00:03:28,694
Just another thing I fucked up.

66
00:03:28,695 --> 00:03:31,239
No! You're turning it around.

67
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,408
That's why you're
here. Why I'm here.

68
00:03:34,409 --> 00:03:36,410
Yeah. Plus, this meeting
has the best coffee.

69
00:03:36,411 --> 00:03:38,246
I take an extra train
just to drink it

70
00:03:38,247 --> 00:03:40,248
instead of the weak shit
that the other meetings have.

71
00:03:40,249 --> 00:03:42,083
Warms my heart.

72
00:03:42,084 --> 00:03:43,459
This is my samovar.

73
00:03:43,460 --> 00:03:44,877
Hm.

74
00:03:44,878 --> 00:03:46,295
I keep it in the closet.

75
00:03:46,296 --> 00:03:47,922
Life's too short for bad coffee.

76
00:03:47,923 --> 00:03:50,424
Yeah.

77
00:03:50,425 --> 00:03:53,719
Wanna tell me a little more
about what happened to you?

78
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,596
These ears are for
listening to more than just

79
00:03:55,597 --> 00:03:57,224
old British New wave.

80
00:04:25,627 --> 00:04:28,129
<i>Whatever it is
I'm doing that you don't like,</i>

81
00:04:28,130 --> 00:04:30,214
<i>I'll stop doing it.</i>

82
00:04:42,019 --> 00:04:44,312
Oh, he is so going down.

83
00:04:44,313 --> 00:04:46,439
Nah, they never do.
They know how to brace.

84
00:04:47,983 --> 00:04:49,817
Thousand bucks he falls.

85
00:04:49,818 --> 00:04:52,153
<i>These winds are... are
like nothing I've ever...</i>

86
00:04:52,154 --> 00:04:53,821
<i>Ronnie, are you all
right out there?</i>

87
00:04:53,822 --> 00:04:55,156
Five thou he falls.

88
00:04:55,157 --> 00:04:56,866
Additional two on a head injury.

89
00:04:56,867 --> 00:04:58,075
Booked.

90
00:04:58,076 --> 00:05:01,203
<i>This storm is a doozy.</i>

91
00:05:01,204 --> 00:05:02,705
<i>It was originally
predicted to be</i>

92
00:05:02,706 --> 00:05:04,915
<i>a high Category Three hurricane,</i>

93
00:05:04,916 --> 00:05:06,709
<i>low Category Four at a maximum,</i>

94
00:05:06,710 --> 00:05:09,754
<i>but I wouldn't be surprised</i>

95
00:05:09,755 --> 00:05:12,173
<i>if newer reports
put it even higher.</i>

96
00:05:12,174 --> 00:05:14,842
<i>And you think we could be
dealing with a Cat Five here?</i>

97
00:05:14,843 --> 00:05:16,927
Ouch!

98
00:05:16,928 --> 00:05:18,304
- Yes!
- <i>Ronnie, do we still have you?</i>

99
00:05:18,305 --> 00:05:19,347
My Venmo handle is...

100
00:05:19,348 --> 00:05:21,265
LuckBox16. I got it.

101
00:05:21,266 --> 00:05:22,933
You guys.

102
00:05:22,934 --> 00:05:24,518
<i>I'm not
sure if he can hear us.</i>

103
00:05:24,519 --> 00:05:25,519
Ronnie, do we have you?

104
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,146
<i>Can you hear me?</i>

105
00:05:27,147 --> 00:05:28,189
<i>We thought we lost
you for a second.</i>

106
00:05:28,190 --> 00:05:30,191
Bet my nuts it reaches Cat Five.

107
00:05:30,192 --> 00:05:32,151
Care to make it interesting?

108
00:05:32,152 --> 00:05:35,363
My nuts are fascinating, but
how 'bout we go ten grand?

109
00:05:35,364 --> 00:05:36,530
Done.

110
00:05:36,531 --> 00:05:38,824
Whoa. Quick on the draw there.

111
00:05:38,825 --> 00:05:41,160
For a Cat Five, the
winds have to be

112
00:05:41,161 --> 00:05:43,704
at least 157 miles per hour.

113
00:05:43,705 --> 00:05:46,248
That's, like, airborne
livestock level.

114
00:05:46,249 --> 00:05:47,708
Did you see that motherfucker?

115
00:05:47,709 --> 00:05:49,543
He went down like
Dafoe in <i>Platoon,</i>

116
00:05:49,544 --> 00:05:51,212
and they haven't even
named the storm yet.

117
00:05:51,213 --> 00:05:53,214
I want in.

118
00:05:53,215 --> 00:05:56,676
Five it goes Cat Five, another
three they name it Rachel.

119
00:05:58,929 --> 00:06:00,722
This is really dark, you guys.

120
00:06:01,807 --> 00:06:03,474
Eight K it stays Cat Four,

121
00:06:03,475 --> 00:06:05,351
and five they call her Rosie,

122
00:06:05,352 --> 00:06:07,937
spelled R-O-S-I-E.

123
00:06:07,938 --> 00:06:10,981
So, we're betting
on whether or not

124
00:06:10,982 --> 00:06:12,691
people are gonna
lose their homes?

125
00:06:12,692 --> 00:06:14,026
That's what we've come to?

126
00:06:14,027 --> 00:06:17,488
Oh, we're already
there. Embrace it.

127
00:06:17,489 --> 00:06:20,366
You know, I am kind
of okay with this.

128
00:06:20,367 --> 00:06:22,243
Jesus! Wow. Okay.

129
00:06:22,244 --> 00:06:24,745
Learn something about yourself
in the strangest times.

130
00:06:24,746 --> 00:06:26,414
I'll throw a fiver on
over a million evacuees

131
00:06:26,415 --> 00:06:27,998
leaving in the next 48 hours,

132
00:06:27,999 --> 00:06:29,834
and twelve grand it
gets to Cat Five.

133
00:06:29,835 --> 00:06:32,087
And three they name it
Rosy, but spelled with a y.

134
00:06:33,422 --> 00:06:35,506
You can't judge, then join...

135
00:06:35,507 --> 00:06:36,924
I'll donate a
portion to charity.

136
00:06:36,925 --> 00:06:39,552
Oh, please. There
are no good Nazis.

137
00:06:39,553 --> 00:06:41,929
<i>The National Weather
Service has just announced</i>

138
00:06:41,930 --> 00:06:44,515
<i>their moniker for
this surging storm:</i>

139
00:06:44,516 --> 00:06:46,101
<i>Hurricane Rosie.</i>

140
00:06:47,477 --> 00:06:49,019
That's bullcrap!

141
00:06:49,020 --> 00:06:51,439
That's I-E, baby.
You owe me, Rian.

142
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,441
You too, Kim.

143
00:06:53,442 --> 00:06:55,943
Five thou in honor
of my Nonna Rosalia,

144
00:06:55,944 --> 00:06:58,737
and I want it in cash,
just like she would've.

145
00:06:58,738 --> 00:07:00,489
If Rosie hits Category Five,
it's going to cost you all

146
00:07:00,490 --> 00:07:02,158
a lot more than those bets.

147
00:07:02,159 --> 00:07:03,701
Southern Property & Casualty

148
00:07:03,702 --> 00:07:05,286
is one of the major
insurers down there.

149
00:07:05,287 --> 00:07:06,954
Mike Prince holds
several billion worth

150
00:07:06,955 --> 00:07:08,539
of catastrophe bonds
issued by them.

151
00:07:08,540 --> 00:07:10,749
If you degenerates were
all better acquainted

152
00:07:10,750 --> 00:07:12,877
with Mike Prince's
diversified holdings,

153
00:07:12,878 --> 00:07:14,086
you wouldn't be reveling.

154
00:07:14,087 --> 00:07:15,713
Dollar Bill started it.

155
00:07:15,714 --> 00:07:17,631
Yeah, but you doofuses
should've known better.

156
00:07:17,632 --> 00:07:18,841
I just got back.

157
00:07:18,842 --> 00:07:20,634
How fucked are we?

158
00:07:20,635 --> 00:07:21,844
Once they declare Cat Five,
the bonds are triggered

159
00:07:21,845 --> 00:07:23,345
and used to pay claims.

160
00:07:23,346 --> 00:07:25,598
That's a buzzcut for
our total capital.

161
00:07:25,599 --> 00:07:26,974
So, make like
Costner in <i>Waterworld</i>

162
00:07:26,975 --> 00:07:28,726
and start praying for dry land.

163
00:07:28,727 --> 00:07:31,645
Anyone who thinks
this ends up Cat Five,

164
00:07:31,646 --> 00:07:33,064
you got the ass end of the bet.

165
00:07:41,364 --> 00:07:44,617
Nice. Karl, this is exactly
what we're looking for.

166
00:07:44,618 --> 00:07:46,994
DOJ likes to flash.
Trendy, visible, winnable.

167
00:07:46,995 --> 00:07:48,996
- Hm.
- Yep.

168
00:07:48,997 --> 00:07:51,081
The kid, Kai Huang Liu,

169
00:07:51,082 --> 00:07:52,583
sells sham NFTs,

170
00:07:52,584 --> 00:07:54,335
then erases the point of sale

171
00:07:54,336 --> 00:07:56,545
and launders the
proceeds through crypto.

172
00:07:56,546 --> 00:08:00,049
Mm-hmm. Fits the mandate to
crack down on crypto fraud.

173
00:08:00,050 --> 00:08:02,176
You don't even know
the best part yet.

174
00:08:02,177 --> 00:08:03,802
Tell us the kicker.

175
00:08:03,803 --> 00:08:05,262
Can't wait to.

176
00:08:05,263 --> 00:08:07,515
I've been trawling these
gambler anon meetings

177
00:08:07,516 --> 00:08:09,892
for years, just waiting for
something good to come...

178
00:08:09,893 --> 00:08:11,602
Please say you
actually have a problem

179
00:08:11,603 --> 00:08:13,103
because if you just go to
the meetings to solicit...

180
00:08:13,104 --> 00:08:15,022
Yeah, please have a
story in your pocket

181
00:08:15,023 --> 00:08:18,359
about losing the rent
on, uh, you know,

182
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,278
"Pinochle broke me,"
something of the sort.

183
00:08:21,279 --> 00:08:23,948
Pinochle broke me.

184
00:08:23,949 --> 00:08:26,742
Yeah.

185
00:08:26,743 --> 00:08:28,994
I'd swear to it under oath.

186
00:08:28,995 --> 00:08:30,496
Now. Wanna see the kicker?

187
00:08:30,497 --> 00:08:32,540
Mm-hmm.

188
00:08:32,541 --> 00:08:37,211
Liu's pop is a
mega-billionaire. Industrialist.

189
00:08:37,212 --> 00:08:39,713
Does thrice-yearly
deals with none other

190
00:08:39,714 --> 00:08:41,883
than Michael Prince himself.

191
00:08:45,303 --> 00:08:47,513
They've been in deep
for over a decade.

192
00:08:47,514 --> 00:08:49,056
If we pinch the kid,

193
00:08:49,057 --> 00:08:50,475
they all look real bad.

194
00:08:54,271 --> 00:08:56,230
Karl, that's not just a kicker,

195
00:08:56,231 --> 00:08:58,066
that's a Tom Dempsey.

196
00:08:59,359 --> 00:09:01,610
I'm unfamiliar.

197
00:09:01,611 --> 00:09:04,154
Had half a foot, kicked with
a special sawed-off shoe.

198
00:09:04,155 --> 00:09:05,781
Still made 60-yard field goals.

199
00:09:05,782 --> 00:09:07,866
Then, yeah, that's this.

200
00:09:07,867 --> 00:09:10,411
We can get you a warrant for
the kid right away, Karl.

201
00:09:10,412 --> 00:09:12,622
Good. Go scoop him up.

202
00:09:17,752 --> 00:09:20,254
"Ooh, a storm is threatening,"

203
00:09:20,255 --> 00:09:22,172
as geriatric Jagger croons.

204
00:09:22,173 --> 00:09:24,300
Are there any actions
you'd like me to take

205
00:09:24,301 --> 00:09:26,468
in the face of potentially
massive payouts?

206
00:09:26,469 --> 00:09:29,179
No action. We work
with whatever happens.

207
00:09:29,180 --> 00:09:31,056
We could likely get rocked.

208
00:09:31,057 --> 00:09:32,392
Then we get rocked.

209
00:09:33,351 --> 00:09:35,436
Ah. Of course.

210
00:09:35,437 --> 00:09:37,521
Other circumstances
take precedent.

211
00:09:37,522 --> 00:09:38,773
As they should.

212
00:09:46,406 --> 00:09:49,116
I always liked the way
Obama referred to Biden

213
00:09:49,117 --> 00:09:51,035
as his partner publicly,

214
00:09:51,036 --> 00:09:52,870
even though we all knew he was
barely listening to the V.P.

215
00:09:52,871 --> 00:09:54,580
when they were in private.

216
00:09:54,581 --> 00:09:56,540
I think Biden would have
preferred the opposite.

217
00:09:56,541 --> 00:09:58,083
And, uh, Scooter isn't
actually your partner

218
00:09:58,084 --> 00:09:59,752
in owning the business.

219
00:09:59,753 --> 00:10:01,295
No, but...

220
00:10:01,296 --> 00:10:02,963
I'd listen to him
as though he were.

221
00:10:02,964 --> 00:10:05,300
I-I truly think of him that way.

222
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,385
And I try to reward him as such.

223
00:10:08,386 --> 00:10:10,804
You find ways to reaffirm
your trust and loyalty,

224
00:10:10,805 --> 00:10:13,974
so it continues to
be returned in kind.

225
00:10:13,975 --> 00:10:17,102
Yes, but also I love the guy.

226
00:10:17,103 --> 00:10:20,481
That's why made the winning bid
at the symphony charity auction:

227
00:10:20,482 --> 00:10:23,150
Scooter's gonna conduct
the Philharmonic.

228
00:10:23,151 --> 00:10:24,985
I'm gonna bring him on stage,

229
00:10:24,986 --> 00:10:27,821
introduce him,
really blow it out.

230
00:10:27,822 --> 00:10:30,157
I see why that seems
like the thing to do.

231
00:10:30,158 --> 00:10:32,159
And for you and
Scooter, holistically,

232
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,495
it is the thing to do.

233
00:10:34,496 --> 00:10:36,664
But classical music
is pussy music.

234
00:10:36,665 --> 00:10:38,374
That's insane.

235
00:10:38,375 --> 00:10:39,792
Not to the voters.

236
00:10:39,793 --> 00:10:41,669
And to them, people
who like it...

237
00:10:41,670 --> 00:10:43,629
are pussies.

238
00:10:43,630 --> 00:10:44,881
Including you.

239
00:10:55,266 --> 00:10:56,517
It's like this.

240
00:10:56,518 --> 00:10:58,519
Al Capone can cry at Pagliacci

241
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,021
'cause he's having a guy
murdered at the same time.

242
00:11:01,022 --> 00:11:03,524
Also because he's being
played by Robert De Niro.

243
00:11:03,525 --> 00:11:06,193
Anyone else is... effete.

244
00:11:06,194 --> 00:11:08,862
Uh, you used a different word
before she walked in the room.

245
00:11:08,863 --> 00:11:11,282
His idiolect changes based
on who he wants to affect.

246
00:11:13,243 --> 00:11:14,952
We've barely met, how can you...

247
00:11:14,953 --> 00:11:16,704
I'm a professional
evaluator of people,

248
00:11:16,705 --> 00:11:18,414
so I thin-sliced it and...

249
00:11:18,415 --> 00:11:20,332
Well, I'm a professional
evaluator of people

250
00:11:20,333 --> 00:11:23,377
and a comms
strategist. Words...

251
00:11:23,378 --> 00:11:26,338
Jesus, you-you like shaking
people up, don't you?

252
00:11:26,339 --> 00:11:28,925
Like it? I don't
know. Just happens.

253
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,887
This is about
Scooter conducting.

254
00:11:34,472 --> 00:11:37,224
Regardless what
word we use, yeah.

255
00:11:37,225 --> 00:11:39,935
No chamber music for you or
Scooter. I have to veto it.

256
00:11:39,936 --> 00:11:41,770
First of all, you
don't have veto power.

257
00:11:41,771 --> 00:11:43,397
Second, orchestral, not chamber.

258
00:11:43,398 --> 00:11:45,566
Third, I'm not effete.

259
00:11:45,567 --> 00:11:47,569
Yeah, Mike's no pussy.

260
00:11:48,570 --> 00:11:50,028
See?

261
00:11:50,029 --> 00:11:52,489
- I was a college athlete.
- Uh-huh.

262
00:11:52,490 --> 00:11:54,783
So, let's throw out the first
pitch somewhere that night

263
00:11:54,784 --> 00:11:56,410
instead of going
to the concerto.

264
00:11:56,411 --> 00:11:57,828
You think one night at the Phil

265
00:11:57,829 --> 00:11:59,204
is gonna have that
much negative impact?

266
00:11:59,205 --> 00:12:00,664
It's not one night.

267
00:12:00,665 --> 00:12:03,417
It's the conversation
surrounding it.

268
00:12:03,418 --> 00:12:04,752
Who's your favorite
female conductor?

269
00:12:04,753 --> 00:12:07,212
Marin Alsop, Baltimore Symphony.

270
00:12:07,213 --> 00:12:09,548
I hate that you have
that answer so fast.

271
00:12:09,549 --> 00:12:12,342
Okay, Baltimore,

272
00:12:12,343 --> 00:12:13,927
who's your favorite Oriole?

273
00:12:13,928 --> 00:12:15,929
Mussina. Even though
he retired a Yankee.

274
00:12:15,930 --> 00:12:17,265
Favorite now?

275
00:12:20,143 --> 00:12:21,269
Baseball's kind of dead.

276
00:12:23,313 --> 00:12:24,438
Tell him.

277
00:12:24,439 --> 00:12:26,398
You understand this shit, right?

278
00:12:26,399 --> 00:12:29,067
'Cause as a professional thin
slicer of people, you know

279
00:12:29,068 --> 00:12:31,904
classical music makes
people feel dumb.

280
00:12:31,905 --> 00:12:34,239
Some people. Absolutely.

281
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,617
But are those people
Prince voters anyway?

282
00:12:36,618 --> 00:12:37,993
Big tent.

283
00:12:37,994 --> 00:12:39,953
Let's not write anyone off yet.

284
00:12:39,954 --> 00:12:41,955
Then cancel any and all
involvement with the symphony

285
00:12:41,956 --> 00:12:44,249
until they play you into the job

286
00:12:44,250 --> 00:12:45,626
at your inauguration.

287
00:12:45,627 --> 00:12:48,630
But we should have
Bocephus anyway.

288
00:12:50,632 --> 00:12:53,342
Wendy, do you have
a real lean here?

289
00:12:53,343 --> 00:12:56,637
Michael Prince is a maverick
who rewrites the rules.

290
00:12:56,638 --> 00:12:58,597
That's what works for him.

291
00:12:58,598 --> 00:13:00,224
For you.

292
00:13:00,225 --> 00:13:02,100
I don't see why candidate
Prince would switch that up.

293
00:13:02,101 --> 00:13:03,645
After all...

294
00:13:04,687 --> 00:13:06,980
he is the buck.

295
00:13:06,981 --> 00:13:09,316
I'm telling you, you've
gotta walk this back.

296
00:13:09,317 --> 00:13:11,820
Nope. Gonna march it forward.

297
00:13:15,532 --> 00:13:16,658
Eyes up!

298
00:13:18,493 --> 00:13:20,703
Scooter, stand with me.

299
00:13:25,500 --> 00:13:28,961
Team: this man.

300
00:13:28,962 --> 00:13:32,172
This man of many disciplines,
many skills, many talents,

301
00:13:32,173 --> 00:13:34,967
is about to showcase
a hidden one.

302
00:13:34,968 --> 00:13:36,635
Two weeks from tomorrow,

303
00:13:36,636 --> 00:13:40,180
he will conduct the New
York Philharmonic Orchestra.

304
00:13:40,181 --> 00:13:41,682
I'll be introducing him.

305
00:13:41,683 --> 00:13:44,309
All of you will be
there cheering him on.

306
00:13:47,230 --> 00:13:49,231
I was really enjoying
your fucking act

307
00:13:49,232 --> 00:13:51,984
until you Joe
Theismanned my ass.

308
00:13:51,985 --> 00:13:53,360
Like Lawrence Taylor.

309
00:13:53,361 --> 00:13:55,404
- That's what they pay me for.
- Hm.

310
00:13:55,405 --> 00:13:56,864
Look, you gotta know
you're not always gonna

311
00:13:56,865 --> 00:13:58,657
get your way with him.
It's not how we...

312
00:13:58,658 --> 00:13:59,992
You think I'm pissed
because I didn't get my way?

313
00:13:59,993 --> 00:14:01,994
Thank you. Thank you.

314
00:14:01,995 --> 00:14:04,371
It means a lot to have the
well wishes of this team.

315
00:14:04,372 --> 00:14:06,707
I think you're frustrated
because Prince isn't pliable

316
00:14:06,708 --> 00:14:08,792
the way most of your
candidates probably are.

317
00:14:08,793 --> 00:14:11,003
They don't start out that way.

318
00:14:11,004 --> 00:14:14,047
But I tell them what to do.
They do it. And then they win.

319
00:14:14,048 --> 00:14:15,549
I don't appease.

320
00:14:15,550 --> 00:14:16,884
I don't coax and massage

321
00:14:16,885 --> 00:14:18,635
the way, say, a therapist might.

322
00:14:18,636 --> 00:14:20,512
I look like I get
out the scented oils

323
00:14:20,513 --> 00:14:22,347
and Dead Can Dance CDs
before I rub your shoulders?

324
00:14:22,348 --> 00:14:24,434
The verbal equivalent. Yeah.

325
00:14:26,269 --> 00:14:27,895
And, uh, I have
something for you

326
00:14:27,896 --> 00:14:29,898
to commemorate this moment...

327
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,281
Belonged to Leonard Bernstein.

328
00:14:39,282 --> 00:14:40,783
Greatest of the greats.

329
00:14:42,327 --> 00:14:44,453
This is your time, Scoot.

330
00:14:44,454 --> 00:14:45,621
So proud of you.

331
00:14:51,461 --> 00:14:55,422
I have been preparing for this
opportunity for a long time,

332
00:14:55,423 --> 00:14:58,342
silently, quietly,
in my waking dreams.

333
00:14:58,343 --> 00:15:01,763
But I never knew it
would come to fruition.

334
00:15:03,932 --> 00:15:05,974
Thank you, Mike.

335
00:15:05,975 --> 00:15:09,728
It would be my honor to
share this with you all.

336
00:15:09,729 --> 00:15:11,271
I promise not to disappoint.

337
00:15:11,272 --> 00:15:12,397
Yeah!

338
00:15:18,821 --> 00:15:20,197
But for real, though,

339
00:15:20,198 --> 00:15:22,032
your job here, if
we boil it down,

340
00:15:22,033 --> 00:15:24,576
is to make everyone else's
life a little better, right?

341
00:15:24,577 --> 00:15:25,953
Remove the obstacles
in their way.

342
00:15:25,954 --> 00:15:27,287
In a sense.

343
00:15:27,288 --> 00:15:29,122
Today, though, you
made mine worse.

344
00:15:29,123 --> 00:15:31,208
Look, he called me in.

345
00:15:31,209 --> 00:15:33,794
To do the thing that
I do for him. Not you.

346
00:15:33,795 --> 00:15:35,629
'Cause whatever it was
he was getting from you,

347
00:15:35,630 --> 00:15:37,298
it clearly wasn't enough.

348
00:15:49,185 --> 00:15:51,436
If we can connect Eric T.
To the real estate fraud,

349
00:15:51,437 --> 00:15:53,146
maybe he'll roll.

350
00:15:53,147 --> 00:15:54,314
We get big sister up
from Indian Creek Island,

351
00:15:54,315 --> 00:15:55,482
she finally gets revenge on pops

352
00:15:55,483 --> 00:15:56,316
for ruining her social standing.

353
00:15:57,860 --> 00:15:59,319
A second, boss.

354
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,279
One moment, Ms. Torre.

355
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:02,699
Ira.

356
00:16:06,869 --> 00:16:09,287
- Kid's gone.
- Gambling kid or criminal kid?

357
00:16:09,288 --> 00:16:11,748
- The scammer.
- When you say "gone"?

358
00:16:11,749 --> 00:16:14,751
Got a warrant, entered his
place with the agents. Gone.

359
00:16:14,752 --> 00:16:16,670
Either tipped off or
knew he'd pushed it.

360
00:16:16,671 --> 00:16:18,338
Phone's off, too.

361
00:16:18,339 --> 00:16:19,631
Figure he's gone to ground?

362
00:16:19,632 --> 00:16:21,800
No. Billionaire's kid, you said.

363
00:16:21,801 --> 00:16:24,094
They don't go to ground,
they flee the jurisdiction.

364
00:16:24,095 --> 00:16:26,638
They sure do. Karl...

365
00:16:26,639 --> 00:16:28,515
get Ms. Torre off
whatever she's working on

366
00:16:28,516 --> 00:16:30,100
and onto this, interfacing
with the agents,

367
00:16:30,101 --> 00:16:31,852
checking ships, yachts,

368
00:16:31,853 --> 00:16:33,603
airplane manifests, all of it.

369
00:16:33,604 --> 00:16:35,355
Ground the family crafts.

370
00:16:35,356 --> 00:16:37,190
If Elon Musk is
prototyping jet suits,

371
00:16:37,191 --> 00:16:39,777
find out if our guy's flying
one of those back home.

372
00:16:42,864 --> 00:16:44,032
Come on.

373
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,537
When you try to drip
poison in someone's mouth,

374
00:16:50,538 --> 00:16:53,165
he may turn his head.

375
00:16:53,166 --> 00:16:55,752
And then a clean kill
can turn very messy.

376
00:16:57,336 --> 00:16:59,337
And before long,
you have Dan Aykroyd

377
00:16:59,338 --> 00:17:01,339
double barreling
semi-automatics at your face.

378
00:17:01,340 --> 00:17:04,593
Ah, yes. Uh, <i>Grosse
Pointe Blank.</i>

379
00:17:04,594 --> 00:17:07,137
You know, from treating
all your colleagues...

380
00:17:07,138 --> 00:17:09,181
And I can say this without
breaking confidence,

381
00:17:09,182 --> 00:17:11,475
since that is what brought you
to me in the first place...

382
00:17:11,476 --> 00:17:14,895
I have gotten to revisit
so many fine films.

383
00:17:14,896 --> 00:17:17,022
This one I missed
first time around,

384
00:17:17,023 --> 00:17:18,940
but I enjoyed it.

385
00:17:18,941 --> 00:17:23,153
Even if its commentary on
ambition in the work force

386
00:17:23,154 --> 00:17:25,655
is a bit heavy handed.

387
00:17:25,656 --> 00:17:27,574
I mean, even Shakespeare
laid it on a bit thick

388
00:17:27,575 --> 00:17:28,909
when he was really
trying to make a point.

389
00:17:28,910 --> 00:17:30,410
Still effective.

390
00:17:30,411 --> 00:17:32,704
Which play comes to
mind? Answer quickly.

391
00:17:32,705 --> 00:17:35,749
Um, <i>Richard III.</i>

392
00:17:35,750 --> 00:17:40,420
Another work about
an assassin of sorts.

393
00:17:40,421 --> 00:17:42,214
I'm sensing a theme.

394
00:17:42,215 --> 00:17:44,759
Yes. Now that I said it...

395
00:17:47,303 --> 00:17:49,347
ah, you asked on purpose to s...

396
00:17:50,306 --> 00:17:51,848
That's good.

397
00:17:51,849 --> 00:17:55,560
Yes, now that I said it,
I do feel a bit like...

398
00:17:55,561 --> 00:17:58,063
Richard these days, if
more justifiably motivated.

399
00:17:58,064 --> 00:18:01,274
The real Richard was in
quite the tough spot.

400
00:18:01,275 --> 00:18:05,070
His family would have lost
the throne if he didn't act.

401
00:18:05,071 --> 00:18:07,323
Well, that's the question
one asks oneself, isn't it?

402
00:18:09,367 --> 00:18:13,036
If the damage, intended or
collateral, is justified...

403
00:18:13,037 --> 00:18:15,413
Or even when you
know it is justified,

404
00:18:15,414 --> 00:18:17,457
if you can live with
the collateral damage.

405
00:18:17,458 --> 00:18:21,128
Change the "you" to "I"
when using examples.

406
00:18:21,129 --> 00:18:23,797
It's difficult to
do, but try it.

407
00:18:23,798 --> 00:18:27,509
I have to do some things.

408
00:18:27,510 --> 00:18:30,513
I am doing some
things that I deem...

409
00:18:31,639 --> 00:18:32,890
necessary.

410
00:18:34,350 --> 00:18:36,810
And these things will help

411
00:18:36,811 --> 00:18:39,437
many, many people.

412
00:18:39,438 --> 00:18:42,983
But they will hurt
some other people.

413
00:18:42,984 --> 00:18:44,235
Fewer.

414
00:18:46,195 --> 00:18:48,780
But the hurt ones are folks
that I know and care about.

415
00:18:48,781 --> 00:18:50,949
So... guilt.

416
00:18:50,950 --> 00:18:52,492
Well, it's strange

417
00:18:52,493 --> 00:18:54,286
because guilt usually
rears up when you...

418
00:18:54,287 --> 00:18:57,205
When I... do bad things,
things that I know are wrong.

419
00:18:57,206 --> 00:18:59,749
But this is different.
Justified. And yet...

420
00:18:59,750 --> 00:19:02,919
That's why the trolley problem
takes up so many class sessions

421
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,462
when it's taught at Harvard.

422
00:19:04,463 --> 00:19:07,424
We are feeling creatures,

423
00:19:07,425 --> 00:19:10,093
even if it often seems
as though we are not.

424
00:19:10,094 --> 00:19:12,053
So, we know we should only

425
00:19:12,054 --> 00:19:15,849
divert the runaway trolley
if more people will live,

426
00:19:15,850 --> 00:19:19,352
yet we hesitate if we
learn too many nice things

427
00:19:19,353 --> 00:19:22,564
about any one potential victim.

428
00:19:22,565 --> 00:19:24,816
Right. So, how do I
execute what I need to,

429
00:19:24,817 --> 00:19:26,735
all the little moves,

430
00:19:26,736 --> 00:19:28,361
knowing that I'm gonna
do real harm to people

431
00:19:28,362 --> 00:19:30,698
who've done nothing
to earn that fate?

432
00:19:32,241 --> 00:19:35,036
What more can you
tell me? In specific.

433
00:19:41,250 --> 00:19:42,292
You've heard that Michael Prince

434
00:19:42,293 --> 00:19:43,419
is running for president?

435
00:19:45,338 --> 00:19:47,714
Well, the thing is,
I'm in a position

436
00:19:47,715 --> 00:19:51,301
to really know what
damage he will do...

437
00:19:51,302 --> 00:19:54,387
Actually, I know what
his own conscious mind

438
00:19:54,388 --> 00:19:56,723
doesn't know yet about
what damage he will do.

439
00:19:56,724 --> 00:19:58,558
Of course.

440
00:19:58,559 --> 00:19:59,893
It's bad.

441
00:19:59,894 --> 00:20:01,853
For the country.
For the world.

442
00:20:01,854 --> 00:20:02,979
He needs to be stopped.

443
00:20:02,980 --> 00:20:04,064
And I'm one of the few people

444
00:20:04,065 --> 00:20:05,775
who can maybe do the stopping.

445
00:20:07,109 --> 00:20:08,068
But...

446
00:20:08,069 --> 00:20:09,736
to do so requires...

447
00:20:09,737 --> 00:20:12,364
Yeah. The very people
I've promised to help.

448
00:20:12,365 --> 00:20:15,367
And a few people I've
come to really like...

449
00:20:15,368 --> 00:20:17,578
are gonna pay a real price,

450
00:20:21,332 --> 00:20:23,459
Some of them are
my other patients.

451
00:20:24,460 --> 00:20:25,503
Yes.

452
00:20:28,965 --> 00:20:31,091
Then...
for ethical reasons,

453
00:20:31,092 --> 00:20:32,343
we'll need to stop here.

454
00:20:35,805 --> 00:20:38,723
You asked me the questions
that brought us here.

455
00:20:38,724 --> 00:20:40,475
I mean, you practically
challenged me

456
00:20:40,476 --> 00:20:41,935
to sit here with you,

457
00:20:41,936 --> 00:20:43,436
and now you're
going to abandon me?

458
00:20:43,437 --> 00:20:45,272
You wrestling with
your ethical dilemma

459
00:20:45,273 --> 00:20:48,526
is not a reason for me
to create one of my own.

460
00:20:49,652 --> 00:20:52,112
I'm sorry,

461
00:20:52,113 --> 00:20:53,656
but this is the
end of our session.

462
00:21:13,968 --> 00:21:15,260
We found Kai Huang Liu's name

463
00:21:15,261 --> 00:21:16,678
on a private jet manifest.

464
00:21:16,679 --> 00:21:18,638
Shit. Did it take off?

465
00:21:18,639 --> 00:21:20,140
It did.

466
00:21:20,141 --> 00:21:22,267
And yet a slight
Russell Ziskey smile

467
00:21:22,268 --> 00:21:23,435
dances around your face, Karl.

468
00:21:23,436 --> 00:21:26,104
Because I know whose jet it is.

469
00:21:26,105 --> 00:21:28,356
And when you find out, you, too,

470
00:21:28,357 --> 00:21:31,109
will get your Ziskey on.

471
00:21:31,110 --> 00:21:32,861
Ready for it.

472
00:21:32,862 --> 00:21:35,406
Kai Huang Liu is on one
of Michael Prince's jets.

473
00:21:36,490 --> 00:21:38,033
Prince lent our perp his plane?

474
00:21:38,034 --> 00:21:39,868
Accessory after the fact.

475
00:21:39,869 --> 00:21:41,995
- At least.
- Where's the plane now?

476
00:21:41,996 --> 00:21:43,163
Still in U.S. airspace,
but we can assume

477
00:21:43,164 --> 00:21:44,164
they're headed to Taipei.

478
00:21:44,165 --> 00:21:45,665
Don't assume. Find out.

479
00:21:45,666 --> 00:21:47,667
I've got a guy at the FAA.

480
00:21:47,668 --> 00:21:49,544
He can update us with nav
reports every half hour.

481
00:21:49,545 --> 00:21:51,504
Hm, not good enough.

482
00:21:51,505 --> 00:21:55,550
I have to know how far they can
get without needing to refuel.

483
00:21:55,551 --> 00:21:59,304
And background on the pilot.
Maybe he'll cooperate.

484
00:21:59,305 --> 00:22:01,431
Prince is gonna deny any
prior knowledge of wrongdoing.

485
00:22:01,432 --> 00:22:03,975
We'll worry about that when
we get the kid in custody.

486
00:22:03,976 --> 00:22:06,353
Prince has a federal
fugitive on his plane.

487
00:22:06,354 --> 00:22:08,646
We have him in
violation of 181071.

488
00:22:08,647 --> 00:22:10,857
First, let's indict Liu.

489
00:22:10,858 --> 00:22:12,859
Warrant's still in effect,
but we can't serve it

490
00:22:12,860 --> 00:22:14,527
when the perp is 30,000 feet up.

491
00:22:14,528 --> 00:22:16,696
Can we scramble fighter
jets and bring them down?

492
00:22:16,697 --> 00:22:18,698
Whoa, Chuck.

493
00:22:18,699 --> 00:22:20,867
I know you mean force
the plane to land.

494
00:22:20,868 --> 00:22:21,952
Do I?

495
00:22:24,705 --> 00:22:27,583
Yes, for the record, I do.

496
00:22:31,045 --> 00:22:33,713
Okay, uh...

497
00:22:33,714 --> 00:22:35,215
Start by alerting the FAA

498
00:22:35,216 --> 00:22:36,883
we have a warrant
for Liu's arrest.

499
00:22:36,884 --> 00:22:39,052
They'll notify the pilot
of a mandatory return

500
00:22:39,053 --> 00:22:40,428
to his point of departure.

501
00:22:40,429 --> 00:22:42,680
I say wait until they land.

502
00:22:42,681 --> 00:22:45,517
Taiwan is highly cooperative
in extraditing to the U.S.

503
00:22:45,518 --> 00:22:49,062
They'll send him back, we'll
hold him in jail, pending trial.

504
00:22:49,063 --> 00:22:50,730
Put a lot of
pressure on everyone.

505
00:22:50,731 --> 00:22:52,732
I don't want to involve
international authorities.

506
00:22:52,733 --> 00:22:55,402
Opens political avenues
outside my control,

507
00:22:55,403 --> 00:22:58,196
gives Prince too much
room to insulate himself.

508
00:22:58,197 --> 00:22:59,739
Are you sure, sir?

509
00:22:59,740 --> 00:23:01,533
Once that plane
leaves our airspace,

510
00:23:01,534 --> 00:23:02,992
it expands the menu of
charges we can hit Prince with

511
00:23:02,993 --> 00:23:05,328
- from a hot-dog cart to Denny's.
- No.

512
00:23:05,329 --> 00:23:06,830
Let's not make
this too elaborate.

513
00:23:06,831 --> 00:23:08,248
Simple story is best.

514
00:23:08,249 --> 00:23:09,416
Okay.

515
00:23:09,417 --> 00:23:11,334
I guess I get that.

516
00:23:11,335 --> 00:23:12,669
My self-defense teacher
always says don't go

517
00:23:12,670 --> 00:23:14,170
for the back-spinning heel kick

518
00:23:14,171 --> 00:23:15,691
when you can just
knee him in the sack.

519
00:23:17,216 --> 00:23:18,842
Quite so.

520
00:23:18,843 --> 00:23:20,677
You need to ground
your plane, Mike.

521
00:23:20,678 --> 00:23:21,845
FAA just reached out.

522
00:23:21,846 --> 00:23:23,096
Which one? And why?

523
00:23:23,097 --> 00:23:25,014
The Bombardier.

524
00:23:25,015 --> 00:23:26,599
Who has the Bombardier
in the air right now?

525
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,101
Mr. Liu's chief of staff called

526
00:23:28,102 --> 00:23:29,602
and asked for a
flight to Taiwan.

527
00:23:29,603 --> 00:23:30,728
His plane had a
mechanical issue.

528
00:23:30,729 --> 00:23:32,272
We offered the courtesy.

529
00:23:32,273 --> 00:23:34,441
The courtesy? I mean,
my friends and I ask

530
00:23:34,442 --> 00:23:36,401
when we borrow
each other's cars.

531
00:23:36,402 --> 00:23:38,987
Mr. Liu pays for the gas
and crew when he uses it.

532
00:23:38,988 --> 00:23:41,281
We offer this to him and
a few others like him.

533
00:23:41,282 --> 00:23:42,740
He does the same for us.

534
00:23:42,741 --> 00:23:44,617
Well, that's the
what, Kate. The why?

535
00:23:44,618 --> 00:23:46,327
An arrest warrant was issued
for a passenger on board.

536
00:23:46,328 --> 00:23:48,329
Some kind of a federal offense.

537
00:23:48,330 --> 00:23:50,332
Scooter, raise the pilot for me.

538
00:23:53,878 --> 00:23:55,587
<i>Yes, sir?</i>

539
00:23:55,588 --> 00:23:57,172
Who's in the air with
you now? How many?

540
00:23:57,173 --> 00:24:00,717
<i>Just one passenger.
Male. Liu. 22.</i>

541
00:24:00,718 --> 00:24:02,803
No, Kai's 50.

542
00:24:04,763 --> 00:24:06,264
It's the son.

543
00:24:06,265 --> 00:24:07,974
His office said it was for dad.

544
00:24:07,975 --> 00:24:09,809
Of course they did.

545
00:24:09,810 --> 00:24:10,977
He must have used the fact
that they have the same name

546
00:24:10,978 --> 00:24:12,688
as a workaround on the manifest.

547
00:24:14,690 --> 00:24:15,773
Fuel status?

548
00:24:15,774 --> 00:24:17,484
<i>We're at 1900 gallons.</i>

549
00:24:17,485 --> 00:24:19,152
Nine more hours in the air.

550
00:24:19,153 --> 00:24:20,945
<i>Enough to get us to the
Aleutians to refuel.</i>

551
00:24:20,946 --> 00:24:23,156
No, not anymore. Kill the
in-flight monitors first.

552
00:24:23,157 --> 00:24:24,574
Then I want you to fly a loop.

553
00:24:24,575 --> 00:24:25,950
A big one he can hardly feel.

554
00:24:25,951 --> 00:24:27,660
No, no, don't
instruct them to...

555
00:24:27,661 --> 00:24:29,120
You can't, Mike.

556
00:24:29,121 --> 00:24:30,121
Stay within US
borders, continental,

557
00:24:30,122 --> 00:24:31,915
and keep a clear margin.

558
00:24:31,916 --> 00:24:33,333
I want you to hold that
pattern until I can figure out

559
00:24:33,334 --> 00:24:34,918
what the frick is
really happening here.

560
00:24:34,919 --> 00:24:36,169
Don't talk to anyone else.

561
00:24:36,170 --> 00:24:37,838
All orders will be direct.

562
00:24:43,010 --> 00:24:45,303
This is Chuck coming after me.

563
00:24:45,304 --> 00:24:48,015
They seem to be keeping
the plane in the air.

564
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,809
Pull in our
contact at the FAA,

565
00:24:51,810 --> 00:24:54,646
get transcripts of all
communication between the pilot

566
00:24:54,647 --> 00:24:56,689
and air traffic, maybe
we can learn something.

567
00:24:56,690 --> 00:24:59,984
By not immediately
ordering his plane to land,

568
00:24:59,985 --> 00:25:01,986
Prince just ticked off
two of the three criteria

569
00:25:01,987 --> 00:25:03,821
for the federal crime
of aiding a fugitive.

570
00:25:03,822 --> 00:25:05,240
Mm-hmm.

571
00:25:05,241 --> 00:25:07,033
Defendant's actions
were intended to prevent

572
00:25:07,034 --> 00:25:08,952
the fugitive's discovery;
and the defendant committed

573
00:25:08,953 --> 00:25:10,828
one or more physical
acts... Phone call counts...

574
00:25:10,829 --> 00:25:14,707
To help the fugitive
avoid arrest.

575
00:25:14,708 --> 00:25:16,543
It's close to enough to
indict Prince already.

576
00:25:16,544 --> 00:25:18,545
All right. Officially
indict the kid.

577
00:25:18,546 --> 00:25:22,173
Then, yeah, begin preparing
charges against Prince.

578
00:25:22,174 --> 00:25:24,301
And do it Cannonball
Adderley style... with tempo.

579
00:25:26,345 --> 00:25:28,638
This is a diplomatic
and P.R. disaster.

580
00:25:28,639 --> 00:25:31,224
No, this is a prosecutor
harassing a private citizen.

581
00:25:31,225 --> 00:25:33,059
I am all for fighting,
but once the FAA,

582
00:25:33,060 --> 00:25:35,228
operating on instructions from
the Department of Justice,

583
00:25:35,229 --> 00:25:37,981
orders a plane down,
plane needs to come down.

584
00:25:37,982 --> 00:25:39,399
Then we can defend our position.

585
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,150
If the order is
legitimate to begin with.

586
00:25:41,151 --> 00:25:44,529
Yes. But first, the
order needs to be obeyed.

587
00:25:44,530 --> 00:25:47,615
Aiding a fugitive. That's
what they'll whack you with.

588
00:25:47,616 --> 00:25:49,284
I just lent out my plane.

589
00:25:49,285 --> 00:25:51,203
And it was borrowed
under false pretenses.

590
00:25:52,454 --> 00:25:53,871
If it doesn't stick in court,

591
00:25:53,872 --> 00:25:55,915
it will in the
papers. Like pine tar.

592
00:25:55,916 --> 00:25:58,293
Might stick in court, too.

593
00:25:58,294 --> 00:26:00,420
Let's get the plane to ground,

594
00:26:00,421 --> 00:26:02,130
hand over the kid.
Simple as it gets.

595
00:26:02,131 --> 00:26:03,548
Nothing's ever that simple.

596
00:26:03,549 --> 00:26:05,466
Mike and Liu are not
just "in business."

597
00:26:05,467 --> 00:26:07,093
They've made billions together,

598
00:26:07,094 --> 00:26:08,970
with agreements that
will make billions more.

599
00:26:08,971 --> 00:26:11,347
Plus, we're friends.
Trading partners.

600
00:26:11,348 --> 00:26:13,600
And if I hose my trading partner
in the way you're suggesting,

601
00:26:13,601 --> 00:26:16,102
no one will ever want to
do business with me again.

602
00:26:16,103 --> 00:26:18,062
Also, it won't look good
to the business types

603
00:26:18,063 --> 00:26:19,522
whose votes we're courting.

604
00:26:19,523 --> 00:26:21,065
Well, this is a big, hairy

605
00:26:21,066 --> 00:26:22,775
ball-aching problem.

606
00:26:22,776 --> 00:26:24,694
Is that an official
political term?

607
00:26:24,695 --> 00:26:27,280
Paints a more vivid picture
than "international incident."

608
00:26:29,241 --> 00:26:32,452
I'm in the process of taking
over the national stage,

609
00:26:32,453 --> 00:26:34,787
and while I didn't get here
by folding to the first flunky

610
00:26:34,788 --> 00:26:36,456
that gave me an order,

611
00:26:36,457 --> 00:26:38,458
I suppose I can try to
work within the parameters.

612
00:26:38,459 --> 00:26:40,960
Kate, can you get somewhere
with Chuck directly?

613
00:26:40,961 --> 00:26:42,795
Go to him as though
we're complying,

614
00:26:42,796 --> 00:26:44,922
see if there's any way we
can get the focus off of us.

615
00:26:44,923 --> 00:26:46,799
Eh, worth a shot.

616
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,303
I'll at least get our point of
view on the record with him.

617
00:26:52,181 --> 00:26:54,974
Still no official category
designation as of now

618
00:26:54,975 --> 00:26:56,851
but at this point,
all signs are pointing

619
00:26:56,852 --> 00:26:58,478
to a Category Five.

620
00:26:58,479 --> 00:26:59,562
So, we're all just
gonna sit here and watch

621
00:26:59,563 --> 00:27:01,564
our comp plummet by a third?

622
00:27:01,565 --> 00:27:03,858
Yeah, if it's rated Cat Five,
it's gonna be worse than that.

623
00:27:03,859 --> 00:27:06,944
Southern Property & Casualty's
about to make us her bitch.

624
00:27:06,945 --> 00:27:08,988
Last Cat Five was years ago.

625
00:27:08,989 --> 00:27:10,990
They may not wanna
scare the public.

626
00:27:10,991 --> 00:27:12,742
They don't get to decide.

627
00:27:12,743 --> 00:27:14,327
They just report what it is.

628
00:27:14,328 --> 00:27:16,871
Winds were up to
172 miles per hour.

629
00:27:16,872 --> 00:27:19,540
Rating's empirical.
As you just said,

630
00:27:19,541 --> 00:27:21,376
this quarter's screwed.

631
00:27:21,377 --> 00:27:24,170
Maybe the whole year.

632
00:27:24,171 --> 00:27:26,673
<i>Breaking news from
the National Weather Service.</i>

633
00:27:26,674 --> 00:27:28,174
Shh! Shh! Everyone!

634

<i>Despite recent

Five as projected.</i>

640
00:27:42,648 --> 00:27:43,690
<i>And once storms hit
land, they weaken.</i>

641
00:27:43,691 --> 00:27:45,191
This thing is staying at 4.

642
00:27:45,192 --> 00:27:47,110
<i>Madonn',</i>
that was close.

643
00:27:49,488 --> 00:27:51,197
I almost had a panic attack.

644
00:27:51,198 --> 00:27:52,657
I thought I heard wheezing.

645
00:27:52,658 --> 00:27:54,367
Pay up, DB!

646
00:27:54,368 --> 00:27:56,911
That's ten Gs from you to me.

647
00:27:56,912 --> 00:27:58,706
You don't have Zelle
on push notifications?

648
00:28:00,708 --> 00:28:02,875
Check your account.
It's already there.

649
00:28:02,876 --> 00:28:04,252
Nice. Thanks, Bill.

650
00:28:04,253 --> 00:28:07,046
Don't... Don't thank me.

651
00:28:07,047 --> 00:28:09,257
You won a bet.

652
00:28:09,258 --> 00:28:11,008
Only time I've ever
been happy to lose one.

653
00:28:11,009 --> 00:28:13,720
You got off cheap. We all did.

654
00:28:13,721 --> 00:28:16,389
Don't wanna think about if the
Cat score went the other way.

655
00:28:16,390 --> 00:28:18,850
Prayers up to Thor, Zeus,

656
00:28:18,851 --> 00:28:20,810
and of course, Oh Mighty Isis:

657
00:28:20,811 --> 00:28:24,188
Thank you for getting
Southern Property & Casualty

658
00:28:24,189 --> 00:28:25,815
off the hook.

659
00:28:25,816 --> 00:28:28,026
Is that who you're
chalking it up to?

660
00:28:29,361 --> 00:28:31,321
Huh. Fascinating.

661
00:28:41,790 --> 00:28:43,250
You knew.

662
00:28:44,251 --> 00:28:46,252
I know many things.

663
00:28:46,253 --> 00:28:48,087
The delicate smell of
a Manzanilla sherry

664
00:28:48,088 --> 00:28:49,422
cask whiskey.

665
00:28:49,423 --> 00:28:52,008
What a point-six
waist to hip ratio

666
00:28:52,009 --> 00:28:54,218
looks like from
fifteen yards away.

667
00:28:54,219 --> 00:28:57,722
The exact years Susan Anton
was partial to mustaches.

668
00:28:57,723 --> 00:28:59,432
"Ass end of it," you said.

669
00:28:59,433 --> 00:29:01,893
And our catastrophe bonds
are now suddenly safe.

670
00:29:01,894 --> 00:29:04,312
Like that warden
in <i>Shawshank</i> said,

671
00:29:04,313 --> 00:29:06,314
"It's a miracle.
Praise the Lord."

672
00:29:06,315 --> 00:29:07,732
Only he said it sarcastically

673
00:29:07,733 --> 00:29:09,275
because he knew
it was no miracle

674
00:29:09,276 --> 00:29:10,985
the prisoner had
disappeared from his cell.

675
00:29:10,986 --> 00:29:12,904
That it was a secret,
calculated effort.

676
00:29:12,905 --> 00:29:16,824
Andy Dufresne's escape was
a meticulously planned,

677
00:29:16,825 --> 00:29:20,829
very-difficult-to-work-out,
very smart operation.

678
00:29:22,706 --> 00:29:24,874
How did you know?

679
00:29:24,875 --> 00:29:26,584
I saw the issue coming,

680
00:29:26,585 --> 00:29:29,378
so I took steps as I saw fit

681
00:29:29,379 --> 00:29:31,172
for the benefit
of the enterprise.

682
00:29:31,173 --> 00:29:32,757
What steps could possibly change

683
00:29:32,758 --> 00:29:34,008
the climatological reality

684
00:29:34,009 --> 00:29:35,594
of an in-process hurricane?

685
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:39,972
It's all in your core.

686
00:29:39,973 --> 00:29:41,724
- All right, just keep...
- All right, bye.

687
00:29:41,725 --> 00:29:43,601
Hey, babe!

688
00:29:43,602 --> 00:29:45,478
You never visit me at the gym.

689
00:29:45,479 --> 00:29:47,104
Never even go to the gym.

690
00:29:47,105 --> 00:29:49,148
I missed you so much
I had to come to this

691
00:29:49,149 --> 00:29:51,818
godforsaken land of musk
and grotesque effort

692
00:29:51,819 --> 00:29:53,403
to see you.

693
00:29:54,947 --> 00:29:56,614
Whoa, that's Roker!

694
00:29:56,615 --> 00:29:57,949
Yeah,
that was great, man.

695
00:29:57,950 --> 00:29:59,659
- Mr. Roker.
- Yeah.

696
00:29:59,660 --> 00:30:01,619
I had forgotten you shared
this hour with Chelz.

697
00:30:01,620 --> 00:30:03,663
- It's good to see you.
- Good to see you, Wagster.

698
00:30:03,664 --> 00:30:04,997
You want to work in?

699
00:30:04,998 --> 00:30:06,332
No, I never sweat
before bedtime.

700
00:30:06,333 --> 00:30:08,000
Look,
Al, I need you

701
00:30:08,001 --> 00:30:10,795
to enlighten me on
all things hurricane.

702
00:30:10,796 --> 00:30:12,004
Okay, hit me.

703
00:30:12,005 --> 00:30:14,298
How exactly do they get rated?

704
00:30:14,299 --> 00:30:17,176
Wags, this is a
multi-agency process.

705
00:30:17,177 --> 00:30:18,803
You've got the National
Weather Service,

706
00:30:18,804 --> 00:30:20,721
you've got the National Oceanic

707
00:30:20,722 --> 00:30:23,516
and Atmospheric Administration,
you've even got the Air Force!

708
00:30:23,517 --> 00:30:26,185
They fly these special planes
called Hurricane Hunters,

709
00:30:26,186 --> 00:30:27,687
right into the storm.

710
00:30:27,688 --> 00:30:29,355
They take real-time data,

711
00:30:29,356 --> 00:30:31,524
relay it back to the
National Hurricane Center.

712
00:30:31,525 --> 00:30:33,359
It's there, they
crunch the numbers

713
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,486
and come up with a
hurricane's category.

714
00:30:35,487 --> 00:30:38,030
So, it's a person who
makes the actual call.

715
00:30:38,031 --> 00:30:39,533
Exactly.

716
00:30:41,076 --> 00:30:42,535
Fantastic.

717
00:30:42,536 --> 00:30:44,370
See?

718
00:30:44,371 --> 00:30:47,039
While science may be empirical,

719
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:48,875
bureaucracy is not.

720
00:30:48,876 --> 00:30:51,752
And anywhere human
error is in effect,

721
00:30:51,753 --> 00:30:53,546
well, that's where I get busy.

722
00:30:53,547 --> 00:30:55,548
You paid off the
hurricane grader.

723
00:30:55,549 --> 00:30:56,883
She's a woman of science,

724
00:30:56,884 --> 00:30:58,301
who happens to be set up with

725
00:30:58,302 --> 00:30:59,719
quite a charitable
research grant

726
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:01,137
when she retires next year.

727
00:31:01,138 --> 00:31:04,933
Get him now!

728
00:31:06,226 --> 00:31:07,603
Now!

729
00:31:11,106 --> 00:31:12,356
He wants to see you.

730
00:31:12,357 --> 00:31:14,443
Now, I'm guessing?

731
00:31:16,612 --> 00:31:18,446
If I asked you to guess
at what my priorities are,

732
00:31:18,447 --> 00:31:19,739
how would you enumerate them?

733
00:31:19,740 --> 00:31:21,407
Your daughters first. Then...

734
00:31:21,408 --> 00:31:23,034
Don't muck around.
Besides family.

735
00:31:23,035 --> 00:31:25,036
You want me to say
the presidency.

736
00:31:25,037 --> 00:31:26,746
I'm already fighting my butt off

737
00:31:26,747 --> 00:31:29,248
so some BS aviation scandal
doesn't knock me out.

738
00:31:29,249 --> 00:31:30,875
I never thought the bigger
threat would come from...

739
00:31:30,876 --> 00:31:32,752
Inside the house. Sure.
Not what's happening.

740
00:31:32,753 --> 00:31:34,462
Do you think before you act?

741
00:31:34,463 --> 00:31:36,213
Are you capable of that?

742
00:31:36,214 --> 00:31:38,090
Depends what's in my
system. But usually, yes.

743
00:31:38,091 --> 00:31:41,427
Wrong answer. Impulsivity
would at least be an excuse.

744
00:31:41,428 --> 00:31:42,929
Okay. Let's go with that, then.

745
00:31:42,930 --> 00:31:46,140
But let's stipulate that
my mélange of foresight

746
00:31:46,141 --> 00:31:47,850
and impulsivity is precisely why

747
00:31:47,851 --> 00:31:50,186
I am bespoke for my role here.

748
00:31:50,187 --> 00:31:52,313
I think fast, act faster.

749
00:31:52,314 --> 00:31:54,941
You don't get a special
pass for being who you are.

750
00:31:54,942 --> 00:31:56,984
This isn't like extra
time on your ACT.

751
00:31:56,985 --> 00:31:58,778
I took the SAT like a real man.

752
00:31:58,779 --> 00:32:00,071
I didn't need to make excuses

753
00:32:00,072 --> 00:32:01,280
for myself then,
and I won't now.

754
00:32:01,281 --> 00:32:03,449
Wags, change gears.

755
00:32:03,450 --> 00:32:05,534
They feel there's reason
to fire you for cause.

756
00:32:05,535 --> 00:32:06,786
He's going to fire me
for single-handedly

757
00:32:06,787 --> 00:32:08,245
saving him from losing

758
00:32:08,246 --> 00:32:10,957
the gross domestic
product of Bhutan?

759
00:32:10,958 --> 00:32:12,625
No, because you only had
enough theory of mind

760
00:32:12,626 --> 00:32:15,628
to consider one small
facet of the issue.

761
00:32:15,629 --> 00:32:18,547
It doesn't take a Kasparov to
see the problem you caused.

762
00:32:18,548 --> 00:32:20,424
Thousands of people's
homes just got blown away.

763
00:32:20,425 --> 00:32:22,510
Southern Casualty is up
to its neck in claims,

764
00:32:22,511 --> 00:32:24,345
and Mike's bonds are pristine.

765
00:32:24,346 --> 00:32:26,138
The press will paint him
as a Wall Street scammer

766
00:32:26,139 --> 00:32:29,266
who protected his money at the
expense of citizens in need.

767
00:32:29,267 --> 00:32:32,645
If anyone finds out what you've
done, my run is G.D. over!

768
00:32:32,646 --> 00:32:34,146
But if those bonds
were triggered,

769
00:32:34,147 --> 00:32:36,315
it would have reduced
the floor and fund

770
00:32:36,316 --> 00:32:38,150
to stringy, bloody carnage.

771
00:32:38,151 --> 00:32:40,987
We were facing an Act of
God. I responded in kind!

772
00:32:40,988 --> 00:32:42,613
You think you're a god,

773
00:32:42,614 --> 00:32:43,990
but you caused a domestic crisis

774
00:32:43,991 --> 00:32:45,658
on top of our
international crisis

775
00:32:45,659 --> 00:32:47,368
and upcoming cultural crisis.

776
00:32:47,369 --> 00:32:49,328
You're a fucking liability.

777
00:32:49,329 --> 00:32:51,622
Thus spoke the politician.

778
00:32:51,623 --> 00:32:53,165
But I'm a businessman!

779
00:32:53,166 --> 00:32:54,667
Money is politics.
Especially mine.

780
00:32:54,668 --> 00:32:56,335
You work for both now.

781
00:32:56,336 --> 00:32:57,878
Then I should have been
told what the shot was.

782
00:32:57,879 --> 00:33:00,090
You shouldn't have to be told.

783
00:33:02,509 --> 00:33:05,136
What's bad for the
campaign is bad for MPC.

784
00:33:05,137 --> 00:33:07,638
And me. Hurting one hurts all.

785
00:33:07,639 --> 00:33:10,641
Okay.

786
00:33:10,642 --> 00:33:13,185
It's true that now,
by the light of day,

787
00:33:13,186 --> 00:33:15,855
I get that there might
have been a corner or two

788
00:33:15,856 --> 00:33:17,858
I didn't see completely around.

789
00:33:19,359 --> 00:33:21,193
Good. I think we can all agree

790
00:33:21,194 --> 00:33:23,864
that accepting blame for this
and growing from it is change.

791
00:33:24,906 --> 00:33:26,366
That's good for everyone.

792
00:33:31,913 --> 00:33:34,207
Yes. No doubt.

793
00:33:35,208 --> 00:33:36,543
My bad.

794
00:33:38,712 --> 00:33:40,255
I know you know I
was trying to help.

795
00:33:42,632 --> 00:33:44,842
I suppose I actually do.

796
00:33:44,843 --> 00:33:46,094
We all do.

797
00:33:47,763 --> 00:33:50,265
Good. And now I
will get back to it.

798
00:34:16,291 --> 00:34:18,584
You know, I was just wondering
why you had them call me

799
00:34:18,585 --> 00:34:20,044
to ground the plane
instead of having

800
00:34:20,045 --> 00:34:21,420
the FAA call the pilot direct.

801
00:34:21,421 --> 00:34:23,339
Well, I was doing
you the courtesy,

802
00:34:23,340 --> 00:34:25,091
before making an
incident out of it.

803
00:34:25,092 --> 00:34:26,759
No, you knew you
could embarrass Prince

804
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:28,260
just by having his
plane turn around.

805
00:34:28,261 --> 00:34:29,762
But instead, you
took the bigger shot,

806
00:34:29,763 --> 00:34:31,263
hoping that he'd
defy your order...

807
00:34:31,264 --> 00:34:33,099
That Prince himself
would. But...

808
00:34:33,100 --> 00:34:35,768
'Course, Prince would never
defy an order like that.

809
00:34:35,769 --> 00:34:37,770
Yet the plane still flies.

810
00:34:37,771 --> 00:34:40,064
Just a holding pattern.

811
00:34:40,065 --> 00:34:42,066
There's a hurricane ripping
through the Eastern Seaboard,

812
00:34:42,067 --> 00:34:44,443
in case you hadn't noticed.
Flight paths are a mess,

813
00:34:44,444 --> 00:34:46,070
which is why he merely
instructed the pilot

814
00:34:46,071 --> 00:34:48,114
to stay in the air
until it was safe...

815
00:34:48,115 --> 00:34:49,449
to return.

816
00:34:52,119 --> 00:34:53,411
Follow me, Ms. Sacker.

817
00:34:55,956 --> 00:34:57,124
Come on.

818
00:35:03,463 --> 00:35:05,256
Ira, where are we
with the charges?

819
00:35:05,257 --> 00:35:06,799
Full steam ahead.

820
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:08,300
Preconditions for the
crimes have been met.

821
00:35:08,301 --> 00:35:09,927
No, you didn't walk
me in here for this.

822
00:35:09,928 --> 00:35:11,346
You walked me in
here to see that.

823
00:35:14,141 --> 00:35:16,475
I could say I'd
forgotten it was up.

824
00:35:16,476 --> 00:35:17,935
Chuck.

825
00:35:17,936 --> 00:35:19,645
You used to run a
tight enough office

826
00:35:19,646 --> 00:35:21,063
that your murder boards
were covered when visitors

827
00:35:21,064 --> 00:35:22,231
were anywhere in the building.

828
00:35:22,232 --> 00:35:23,816
I run a transparent shop now.

829
00:35:23,817 --> 00:35:26,277
- So, no need.
- Hm.

830
00:35:26,278 --> 00:35:27,820
Did you want me to
walk you through

831
00:35:27,821 --> 00:35:29,488
why every one of these
leads on Mike Prince

832
00:35:29,489 --> 00:35:31,490
- is a dead end, or...?
- Nah, save us both the time.

833
00:35:31,491 --> 00:35:33,492
What you need to know is this:

834
00:35:33,493 --> 00:35:35,828
we're not merely watching
and waiting to pounce.

835
00:35:35,829 --> 00:35:37,496
We're gonna tell you
what we're gonna do,

836
00:35:37,497 --> 00:35:38,956
and then we're gonna do it.

837
00:35:38,957 --> 00:35:41,292
No stealth needed,
especially in this case,

838
00:35:41,293 --> 00:35:43,502
because Kai Huang
Liu is a fugitive.

839
00:35:43,503 --> 00:35:46,172
And he's on your guy's plane
instead of in my custody

840
00:35:46,173 --> 00:35:47,965
because he's a
billionaire's buddy.

841
00:35:47,966 --> 00:35:50,843
Hm. You can't arrest people
for having family friends.

842
00:35:50,844 --> 00:35:53,053
If you could, your father's
connections would've had you

843
00:35:53,054 --> 00:35:55,347
locked up before your
career even started.

844
00:35:55,348 --> 00:35:57,892
Enjoying the privilege of
our fathers is something you,

845
00:35:57,893 --> 00:36:00,519
I, and Liu the
younger all share.

846
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:02,855
What sets us apart from him

847
00:36:02,856 --> 00:36:05,482
is we haven't committed
crimes under the assumption

848
00:36:05,483 --> 00:36:06,859
that our father's
wealthy cronies

849
00:36:06,860 --> 00:36:08,486
are gonna help us
get away with it.

850
00:36:10,822 --> 00:36:12,656
No jury's gonna be
sympathetic to a rich kid

851
00:36:12,657 --> 00:36:15,451
pulling an NFT scam,
not these days.

852
00:36:15,452 --> 00:36:17,953
Neither will they be
sympathetic to Prince

853
00:36:17,954 --> 00:36:20,998
colluding to help that
progeny avoid justice.

854
00:36:20,999 --> 00:36:23,626
Except no jury's ever
gonna hear this case

855
00:36:23,627 --> 00:36:26,337
because you can't prove that
my client had prior knowledge

856
00:36:26,338 --> 00:36:29,048
of Mr. Liu's wrongdoing,
because he had none.

857
00:36:29,049 --> 00:36:31,800
Let alone prove that Prince knew
of your perp's intent to flee,

858
00:36:31,801 --> 00:36:33,385
because he didn't.

859
00:36:33,386 --> 00:36:36,972
You spin faster than a
Barry Zito curveball,

860
00:36:36,973 --> 00:36:39,558
but that won't matter
once we get Liu back.

861
00:36:39,559 --> 00:36:41,894
I don't need to. I have
unassailable evidence:

862
00:36:41,895 --> 00:36:44,063
A decade of my
client and Liu Senior

863
00:36:44,064 --> 00:36:45,689
borrowing each other's
planes as needed

864
00:36:45,690 --> 00:36:47,358
without direct prior contact,

865
00:36:47,359 --> 00:36:49,735
and Prince's complete
phone and email records

866
00:36:49,736 --> 00:36:51,570
from the last 48 hours

867
00:36:51,571 --> 00:36:53,781
proving he had no knowledge of
the incident before it occurred,

868
00:36:53,782 --> 00:36:55,574
all of which we will
provide voluntarily.

869
00:36:55,575 --> 00:36:57,409
No subpoena necessary.

870
00:36:57,410 --> 00:36:59,036
Hm.

871
00:36:59,037 --> 00:37:00,913
So, what are you offering?

872
00:37:00,914 --> 00:37:03,958
Nothing. Prince will
either land that jet now,

873
00:37:03,959 --> 00:37:05,668
or he will go down

874
00:37:05,669 --> 00:37:08,504
like the Rosenbergs
in the press.

875
00:37:08,505 --> 00:37:10,005
Or as Aldrich Ames, for anybody

876
00:37:10,006 --> 00:37:12,383
who can't remember
the Rosenbergs.

877
00:37:12,384 --> 00:37:14,426
And for those who can't
remember Aldrich Ames?

878
00:37:14,427 --> 00:37:16,136
As a fucking traitor.

879
00:37:16,137 --> 00:37:18,013
Oh, you're right, you
are transparent now.

880
00:37:18,014 --> 00:37:19,556
Go run back and tell him.

881
00:37:19,557 --> 00:37:21,100
Let me know what he says.

882
00:37:21,101 --> 00:37:23,019
Unless he has the gristle
to face me himself.

883
00:37:42,497 --> 00:37:45,082
Lot of good feeling down there
about the hurricane situation,

884
00:37:45,083 --> 00:37:48,460
though I imagine it played
differently up here.

885
00:37:48,461 --> 00:37:50,129
Of course you do.

886
00:37:50,130 --> 00:37:52,214
I remember your mother
telling me that you taught

887
00:37:52,215 --> 00:37:55,301
the members of your chess
club how to play poker

888
00:37:55,302 --> 00:37:56,677
in, what, sixth grade?

889
00:37:56,678 --> 00:37:58,304
So that by the time
they were in high school

890
00:37:58,305 --> 00:37:59,680
and had some spending money,

891
00:37:59,681 --> 00:38:01,682
they'd be ready
to lose it to you.

892
00:38:01,683 --> 00:38:04,184
Sometimes you see the way
a game should be played.

893
00:38:04,185 --> 00:38:06,729
And the B-side to that is by
the time I was in 11th grade,

894
00:38:06,730 --> 00:38:08,522
I'd decided to save
the money I'd won

895
00:38:08,523 --> 00:38:10,107
and throw them all a
party... All of us...

896
00:38:10,108 --> 00:38:11,650
At the end of senior year

897
00:38:11,651 --> 00:38:13,569
because I felt bad
about taking the money.

898
00:38:13,570 --> 00:38:15,446
Because you wanted them to know
that you could have kept it

899
00:38:15,447 --> 00:38:18,991
but chose to give it
back in high style.

900
00:38:18,992 --> 00:38:22,077
No surprise you understand both
sides of the insurance problem.

901
00:38:22,078 --> 00:38:24,705
But I came up here for
a different reason.

902
00:38:24,706 --> 00:38:26,832
To tell you that you
are doing something

903
00:38:26,833 --> 00:38:28,668
that I did not see coming.

904
00:38:29,794 --> 00:38:32,087
Conducting, man!

905
00:38:32,088 --> 00:38:34,173
I'm so psyched about
it. I told Mom.

906
00:38:34,174 --> 00:38:36,675
She told the rest of the
fam. They're all gonna come.

907
00:38:36,676 --> 00:38:38,677
I'm flying 'em in.

908
00:38:38,678 --> 00:38:40,596
I'll defray the cost of that.

909
00:38:40,597 --> 00:38:43,182
No way. I want to do it.

910
00:38:43,183 --> 00:38:44,975
Since Prince already
gave you the baton,

911
00:38:44,976 --> 00:38:46,018
let me make this gift to you.

912
00:38:46,019 --> 00:38:48,021
Man, that baton.

913
00:38:49,314 --> 00:38:50,940
Such a moving gesture.

914
00:39:02,577 --> 00:39:07,331
But also... and I can only
admit this to family...

915
00:39:07,332 --> 00:39:09,833
My throat went
dry when I saw it.

916
00:39:09,834 --> 00:39:11,668
- My palms were slick.
- That's good.

917
00:39:11,669 --> 00:39:13,588
When was the last
time you were nervous?

918
00:39:15,382 --> 00:39:18,926
Been a long time since something
mattered this much to me.

919
00:39:18,927 --> 00:39:20,469
And to me alone.

920
00:39:20,470 --> 00:39:23,847
I figured. And I'm
happy about it for you.

921
00:39:23,848 --> 00:39:25,599
Yeah.

922
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:27,060
I am, too.

923
00:39:40,615 --> 00:39:41,825
You see this shit?

924
00:39:44,744 --> 00:39:47,079
If you don't know this is a
disaster, you need lessons.

925
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,581
Everything with you
people is a disaster.

926
00:39:49,582 --> 00:39:51,500
Or a make-or-break moment.

927
00:39:51,501 --> 00:39:55,296
Just lumping me in with every
other politico like that, huh?

928
00:39:56,464 --> 00:39:58,090
What distinguishes you?

929
00:39:58,091 --> 00:40:00,175
There's a question you
should have asked before

930
00:40:00,176 --> 00:40:01,927
just deciding where
to classify me.

931
00:40:01,928 --> 00:40:04,096
I would think before
you therapize someone,

932
00:40:04,097 --> 00:40:06,056
you do an intake, right?

933
00:40:06,057 --> 00:40:08,142
Well, that's also what human
beings do when we meet someone,

934
00:40:08,143 --> 00:40:10,019
so we see them beyond
just their profession.

935
00:40:11,271 --> 00:40:13,313
Do your job.

936
00:40:13,314 --> 00:40:16,108
See Prince through the Taiwan
thing and the hurricane mess.

937
00:40:16,109 --> 00:40:19,570
Then, if you're still here,

938
00:40:19,571 --> 00:40:21,573
maybe I'll take the time.

939
00:40:35,378 --> 00:40:36,670
I-I don't want to
sit in that chair

940
00:40:36,671 --> 00:40:38,088
only to have to leave again

941
00:40:38,089 --> 00:40:39,173
before we get anything done.

942
00:40:39,174 --> 00:40:40,883
I came because you texted.

943
00:40:40,884 --> 00:40:42,301
Out of respect.

944
00:40:42,302 --> 00:40:44,554
And maybe to
formally say goodbye.

945
00:40:47,599 --> 00:40:49,392
I understand.

946
00:40:50,852 --> 00:40:53,228
You know, if you
asked me to tell you

947
00:40:53,229 --> 00:40:55,814
the most challenging
work of my career,

948
00:40:55,815 --> 00:40:59,276
it might have been when I was
treating an Army chaplain.

949
00:40:59,277 --> 00:41:01,653
This man counseled officers

950
00:41:01,654 --> 00:41:04,781
who sent men to die in battle.

951
00:41:04,782 --> 00:41:08,160
His work centered around
removing their guilt.

952
00:41:08,161 --> 00:41:12,748
And as a result, he
took it all on himself.

953
00:41:12,749 --> 00:41:17,461
And he had found that
his prayers and devotion

954
00:41:17,462 --> 00:41:19,880
were no longer alleviating it.

955
00:41:19,881 --> 00:41:23,800
You were able to release
him from that burden?

956
00:41:23,801 --> 00:41:27,638
After five sessions with me,

957
00:41:27,639 --> 00:41:30,015
he quit the Army and the Church.

958
00:41:30,016 --> 00:41:31,683
He became a woodworker.

959
00:41:31,684 --> 00:41:35,521
Because he and I agreed
that in his case,

960
00:41:35,522 --> 00:41:37,689
he wasn't really needed.

961
00:41:37,690 --> 00:41:40,859
There were people who
could fill that role

962
00:41:40,860 --> 00:41:44,821
more effectively
than he at that time.

963
00:41:44,822 --> 00:41:49,618
True believers who
didn't harbor doubts.

964
00:41:49,619 --> 00:41:52,871
So, you think someone else can
stop what I'm trying to stop?

965
00:41:52,872 --> 00:41:54,207
No.

966
00:41:55,667 --> 00:41:57,543
But I do think there
are plenty of good,

967
00:41:57,544 --> 00:41:59,378
well-trained psychiatrists

968
00:41:59,379 --> 00:42:02,382
who can help your colleagues
in the way I was helping them.

969
00:42:03,883 --> 00:42:05,842
So, I have referred them out.

970
00:42:05,843 --> 00:42:07,554
Each and every one.

971
00:42:10,223 --> 00:42:11,640
And now...

972
00:42:11,641 --> 00:42:14,059
there is no conflict in doing

973
00:42:14,060 --> 00:42:17,313
this vitally important
work with you.

974
00:42:22,610 --> 00:42:24,444
Thank you.

975
00:42:24,445 --> 00:42:27,115
I understand the enormity
of that decision.

976
00:42:31,619 --> 00:42:33,120
They're going to lose
a lot seeing someone

977
00:42:33,121 --> 00:42:35,747
other than you.

978
00:42:35,748 --> 00:42:38,793
Won't they lose more if
I don't help you succeed?

979
00:42:44,173 --> 00:42:47,759
It's clear that you
are a rational being

980
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,262
and that what you have
determined about Prince

981
00:42:50,263 --> 00:42:52,682
is quite likely the truth.

982
00:42:55,018 --> 00:42:58,854
So, I will help you find a path

983
00:42:58,855 --> 00:43:01,816
to doing what you must.

984
00:43:10,491 --> 00:43:14,120
And yet, all day, I
have felt culpable...

985
00:43:16,247 --> 00:43:17,914
out of sorts.

986
00:43:17,915 --> 00:43:19,416
Anxious, even.

987
00:43:19,417 --> 00:43:23,128
Oh. That's normal in
the circumstances.

988
00:43:23,129 --> 00:43:25,922
Not for me. I
don't get anxious.

989
00:43:25,923 --> 00:43:27,299
When I played college soccer,

990
00:43:27,300 --> 00:43:29,176
I was first up for
penalty kicks in OT.

991
00:43:29,177 --> 00:43:33,597
Because you were willing to
risk failure to help the team.

992
00:43:33,598 --> 00:43:36,933
You were bonded with your team.

993
00:43:36,934 --> 00:43:40,646
Here, your team is
going to get hurt,

994
00:43:40,647 --> 00:43:43,440
financially and in other ways,

995
00:43:43,441 --> 00:43:48,111
as you try to serve
the broader interest.

996
00:43:48,112 --> 00:43:50,323
That's true, yes.

997
00:43:53,326 --> 00:43:56,328
But beyond the team, there's
one person in particular

998
00:43:56,329 --> 00:43:58,789
who's gonna be
collateral damage.

999
00:43:58,790 --> 00:44:00,582
He was never a patient of yours.

1000
00:44:00,583 --> 00:44:03,752
He's the guy Prince brought
in to run the campaign.

1001
00:44:03,753 --> 00:44:05,838
I like him.

1002
00:44:06,798 --> 00:44:09,174
He's smart and...

1003
00:44:09,175 --> 00:44:11,343
committed and engaged and...

1004
00:44:11,344 --> 00:44:14,262
on the kind of upward
trajectory few people ever have.

1005
00:44:14,263 --> 00:44:15,848
If it weren't for me.

1006
00:44:19,227 --> 00:44:23,022
Your face gets a little
flushed as you talk about him.

1007
00:44:24,649 --> 00:44:26,401
I believe you.

1008
00:44:28,736 --> 00:44:31,279
Well...

1009
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:34,658
you're going to have to make
many choices along the way,

1010
00:44:34,659 --> 00:44:36,702
many sacrifices,

1011
00:44:36,703 --> 00:44:40,415
if you are going to carry
out your stated mission.

1012
00:44:42,458 --> 00:44:46,712
In this room, the mission
will be to keep you aligned,

1013
00:44:46,713 --> 00:44:51,842
to allow you to remind
yourself why you are doing it.

1014
00:44:51,843 --> 00:44:55,846
And to give you the chance
to say a private prayer

1015
00:44:55,847 --> 00:45:00,267
of repentance for
each and every one

1016
00:45:00,268 --> 00:45:04,354
of the people you love
who you are going to hurt.

1017
00:45:04,355 --> 00:45:05,732
But that's all of them.

1018
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:09,818
As I see it now, if I
succeed in taking Prince out,

1019
00:45:09,819 --> 00:45:12,070
I'm gonna have to rough
up each and every person

1020
00:45:12,071 --> 00:45:14,740
who works there at some
point along the way.

1021
00:45:14,741 --> 00:45:18,869
Then let's start
naming them now.

1022
00:45:18,870 --> 00:45:22,330
Feeling the pain,
it will cause you

1023
00:45:22,331 --> 00:45:24,083
to cause them pain.

1024
00:45:25,585 --> 00:45:27,670
And then, you will release it.

1025
00:45:28,755 --> 00:45:30,756
Breathe it out.

1026
00:45:30,757 --> 00:45:32,090
And move on.

1027
00:45:32,091 --> 00:45:34,093
Okay.

1028
00:45:35,094 --> 00:45:36,679
Let's do that.

1029
00:45:38,222 --> 00:45:40,432
How about we start
with the gentleman

1030
00:45:40,433 --> 00:45:42,392
who is bringing
color to your cheeks?

1031
00:45:42,393 --> 00:45:45,229
His name is Bradford Luke.

1032
00:45:55,948 --> 00:45:57,824
Interfering with public use.

1033
00:45:57,825 --> 00:45:59,493
Should I add that to the list?

1034
00:45:59,494 --> 00:46:01,953
- You want people to hear this?
- I'm an open book.

1035
00:46:01,954 --> 00:46:04,331
Unlike you.

1036
00:46:04,332 --> 00:46:06,583
What do you need to leave
me out of this, man?

1037
00:46:06,584 --> 00:46:08,794
The kid in cuffs
on American soil,

1038
00:46:08,795 --> 00:46:10,879
like I told Sacker
and she told you.

1039
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:13,632
Do you want that?
You sort of do, sure.

1040
00:46:13,633 --> 00:46:15,634
A guy like you will always take
another feather in his cap.

1041
00:46:15,635 --> 00:46:17,385
But do you really
even give a darn?

1042
00:46:17,386 --> 00:46:19,596
You think I wear
this pin cynically?

1043
00:46:19,597 --> 00:46:21,473
I know
why you wear that pin.

1044
00:46:21,474 --> 00:46:23,725
Optics. Pandering.

1045
00:46:23,726 --> 00:46:25,977
Nixon popularized the
practice, for God's sake.

1046
00:46:25,978 --> 00:46:27,979
It's true. Haldeman
saw Redford wearing one

1047
00:46:27,980 --> 00:46:29,981
in <i>The Candidate</i> and
brought the idea back.

1048
00:46:29,982 --> 00:46:31,608
Nixon liked it so much,

1049
00:46:31,609 --> 00:46:33,068
he had the whole
staff sporting them.

1050
00:46:33,069 --> 00:46:34,778
But like so many traditions,

1051
00:46:34,779 --> 00:46:36,488
most people don't
know how it started,

1052
00:46:36,489 --> 00:46:38,573
and more people don't care.

1053
00:46:38,574 --> 00:46:42,494
They only know how it
makes them feel to see it.

1054
00:46:42,495 --> 00:46:44,038
And what it stands for.

1055
00:46:45,873 --> 00:46:47,374
So, what do you really need?

1056
00:46:47,375 --> 00:46:48,918
Withdraw from the race.

1057
00:46:52,046 --> 00:46:54,381
Drop your so-called
presidential ambitions,

1058
00:46:54,382 --> 00:46:56,007
which are really
just a tarted-up way

1059
00:46:56,008 --> 00:46:57,969
of describing your
lust for power.

1060
00:46:58,886 --> 00:47:00,720
Go back to your office

1061
00:47:00,721 --> 00:47:02,347
and continue with your
standard-issue profiteering,

1062
00:47:02,348 --> 00:47:04,266
forget about
steering our nation,

1063
00:47:04,267 --> 00:47:05,893
and I'll back off.

1064
00:47:11,190 --> 00:47:12,566
You know, I've had
a lot of people

1065
00:47:12,567 --> 00:47:14,776
telling me what to do today.

1066
00:47:14,777 --> 00:47:17,362
Lot of good advice.
Well-intentioned, anyway.

1067
00:47:17,363 --> 00:47:19,489
About how I should be
doing things and why...

1068
00:47:19,490 --> 00:47:21,700
how it'll all look.

1069
00:47:21,701 --> 00:47:24,202
It'd gotten to the point
where saying "screw it"

1070
00:47:24,203 --> 00:47:26,037
and walking away was
starting to look pretty good.

1071
00:47:26,038 --> 00:47:27,664
Mm.

1072
00:47:27,665 --> 00:47:30,000
But then I remembered...

1073
00:47:30,001 --> 00:47:32,002
who the heck I am

1074
00:47:32,003 --> 00:47:33,962
and how I got to be that guy.

1075
00:47:33,963 --> 00:47:36,131
And it wasn't by following
somebody else's script.

1076
00:47:36,132 --> 00:47:39,050
It was by blazing my own path.

1077
00:47:39,051 --> 00:47:42,054
A path that leads
to the White House.

1078
00:47:45,099 --> 00:47:47,309
So, what I'm gonna do,

1079
00:47:47,310 --> 00:47:49,228
I'm gonna keep blazing it.

1080
00:47:52,106 --> 00:47:53,733
You want
to be free of this?

1081
00:47:57,278 --> 00:48:01,156
The kid in my cuffs
on American soil.

1082
00:48:01,157 --> 00:48:03,367
Or you'll be the one in 'em.

1083
00:48:19,926 --> 00:48:23,511
He wants the kid, or
me to quit my run.

1084
00:48:23,512 --> 00:48:24,679
Jesus.

1085
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:26,932
Nothing else will satisfy him.

1086
00:48:26,933 --> 00:48:28,934
He's trying to induce
you to take an action.

1087
00:48:28,935 --> 00:48:30,060
Yes.

1088
00:48:30,061 --> 00:48:31,561
So, it's your moral fucking duty

1089
00:48:31,562 --> 00:48:32,938
to take a different one.

1090
00:48:32,939 --> 00:48:35,190
Yes.

1091
00:48:35,191 --> 00:48:37,692
Unless that's what he's
actually looking for.

1092
00:48:37,693 --> 00:48:39,153
Yes.

1093
00:48:41,072 --> 00:48:42,615
What're you going to do?

1094
00:48:44,241 --> 00:48:46,786
Take the desired action
with a different result.

1095
00:48:51,624 --> 00:48:53,750
<i>Lí-hó.</i>

1096
00:48:53,751 --> 00:48:56,461
Sorry, I'm gonna need your son.

1097
00:48:56,462 --> 00:48:58,630
No, I'm doing it.

1098
00:48:58,631 --> 00:49:00,882
But so you feel better about it,

1099
00:49:00,883 --> 00:49:02,926
when I'm in office,
in two years' time,

1100
00:49:02,927 --> 00:49:05,136
I can ensure the closest
commercial relationship

1101
00:49:05,137 --> 00:49:07,305
Taipei has ever had with D.C.

1102
00:49:07,306 --> 00:49:09,766
Specifically, trade
route protections

1103
00:49:09,767 --> 00:49:13,353
worth billions to you,
within my first 100 days.

1104
00:49:13,354 --> 00:49:14,938
And your son will be
out long before that,

1105
00:49:14,939 --> 00:49:16,272
if he's ever in jail at all.

1106
00:49:16,273 --> 00:49:18,150
If not, a pardon is certain.

1107
00:49:19,902 --> 00:49:22,737
It's not just how it
has to be, friend,

1108
00:49:22,738 --> 00:49:24,615
it's the only way it can be.

1109
00:49:29,161 --> 00:49:30,830
West Side Highway,
going south...

1110
00:49:58,899 --> 00:50:00,984
I feel like I've seen
this movie before.

1111
00:50:00,985 --> 00:50:02,694
No, the only way
that plane is empty

1112
00:50:02,695 --> 00:50:04,696
is if there was a
parachute on board.

1113
00:50:04,697 --> 00:50:08,074
Get Liu off that plane
as peacefully as possible

1114
00:50:08,075 --> 00:50:10,535
but be prepared
for a forced entry.

1115
00:50:10,536 --> 00:50:12,955
Detain the pilot if you have to.

1116
00:50:19,420 --> 00:50:20,879
Party crasher.

1117
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:22,423
Hold!

1118
00:50:33,601 --> 00:50:37,771
Prince. Thought his text
said you could have him.

1119
00:50:37,772 --> 00:50:39,148
Let's see where this goes.

1120
00:50:48,616 --> 00:50:51,869
If that plane starts to
taxi, take out the tires.

1121
00:51:01,629 --> 00:51:03,254
Kid gave himself up.

1122
00:51:03,255 --> 00:51:05,758
It wasn't his idea.

1123
00:51:15,976 --> 00:51:18,978
This man was a fugitive from
justice, attempting to flee.

1124
00:51:18,979 --> 00:51:20,897
Which is why I ordered
my plane to land.

1125
00:51:20,898 --> 00:51:22,482
As a U.S. citizen,

1126
00:51:22,483 --> 00:51:25,610
nothing is more important
than obeying the law.

1127
00:51:25,611 --> 00:51:27,445
And as a sworn
upholder of those laws,

1128
00:51:27,446 --> 00:51:29,365
I'll take it from here.

1129
00:51:40,543 --> 00:51:42,127
You'll all report this properly.

1130
00:51:42,128 --> 00:51:44,129
You'll all come to
learn my plane was taken

1131
00:51:44,130 --> 00:51:45,338
under false pretenses.

1132
00:51:45,339 --> 00:51:47,215
Now I want to thank...

1133
00:51:47,216 --> 00:51:49,175
United States Attorney Rhoades

1134
00:51:49,176 --> 00:51:51,678
for calling this
to my attention.

1135
00:51:51,679 --> 00:51:53,305
I'm so grateful.

1136
00:51:58,602 --> 00:51:59,811
Mr. Prince,
is there any way

1137
00:51:59,812 --> 00:52:01,230
you can make a comment, sir?

1138
00:52:05,943 --> 00:52:08,444
Attorney's available
for photos, no questions.

1139
00:52:08,445 --> 00:52:09,738
Fine,
take some photos.

1140
00:52:29,341 --> 00:52:31,676
Goddamned guy is going to
get a big hit off of this.

1141
00:52:31,677 --> 00:52:33,469
Mm-hmm. Maybe.

1142
00:52:33,470 --> 00:52:35,555
It wasn't a blowout, but
it'll go down as a win.

1143
00:52:35,556 --> 00:52:40,518
Now he knows his smallest
mistake will be raked over.

1144
00:52:40,519 --> 00:52:43,647
And everywhere he
goes, we are watching.

1145
00:52:45,191 --> 00:52:46,858
It's hard to march
toward the presidency

1146
00:52:46,859 --> 00:52:48,986
when you're always looking
over your shoulder.

1147
00:53:07,254 --> 00:53:08,630
I've just made arrangements

1148
00:53:08,631 --> 00:53:10,131
to send the Indiana
National Guard

1149
00:53:10,132 --> 00:53:12,383
to areas hit hardest
by the hurricane,

1150
00:53:12,384 --> 00:53:15,220
since units in the
region are underfunded.

1151
00:53:15,221 --> 00:53:17,055
This will get aid to
where it needs to be

1152
00:53:17,056 --> 00:53:19,349
before and until the
FEMA funds kick in.

1153
00:53:19,350 --> 00:53:21,392
All on Mike's dime.

1154
00:53:21,393 --> 00:53:23,811
Foreign affairs settled.
Domestic affairs are settled.

1155
00:53:23,812 --> 00:53:26,022
And we're going to help
a whole bunch of people.

1156
00:53:26,023 --> 00:53:27,523
Today was a good day.

1157
00:53:27,524 --> 00:53:29,400
I am so fucking
happy it worked out.

1158
00:53:29,401 --> 00:53:31,027
Now, no matter what happens,

1159
00:53:31,028 --> 00:53:32,445
you will be seen to have
done the right thing.

1160
00:53:32,446 --> 00:53:34,739
Not merely seen to
be, Wags. Doing it.

1161
00:53:34,740 --> 00:53:36,867
Even more reason
to smile about it.

1162
00:53:46,835 --> 00:53:48,461
Every single thing you do now

1163
00:53:48,462 --> 00:53:51,130
matters in a way
it didn't before.

1164
00:53:51,131 --> 00:53:52,882
There are no casual decisions.

1165
00:53:52,883 --> 00:53:55,593
And no one borrows your jet.

1166
00:53:55,594 --> 00:53:58,846
No one drops by your house for
dinner without prior approval.

1167
00:53:58,847 --> 00:54:01,599
No employee makes it look
like you're using a loophole

1168
00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:04,435
to avoid paying out to the
victims of a hurricane.

1169
00:54:04,436 --> 00:54:05,561
You need to be
the kind of person

1170
00:54:05,562 --> 00:54:06,729
who sees a hurricane coming...

1171
00:54:06,730 --> 00:54:08,940
Yeah. And runs toward it

1172
00:54:08,941 --> 00:54:10,441
with bailing
buckets and blankets

1173
00:54:10,442 --> 00:54:11,693
to wrap folks in.

1174
00:54:11,694 --> 00:54:12,820
Now you get it.

1175
00:54:14,405 --> 00:54:16,572
You need to assume
everything will come out

1176
00:54:16,573 --> 00:54:18,032
because it will.

1177
00:54:18,033 --> 00:54:19,742
So, take care to
handle it in advance

1178
00:54:19,743 --> 00:54:21,036
for the win.

1179
00:54:22,830 --> 00:54:25,123
It'll feel overwhelming, but
that's just what every hour

1180
00:54:25,124 --> 00:54:27,126
of every day in the
actual job will be.

1181
00:54:53,193 --> 00:54:54,319
I can't let you do it.

1182
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:56,487
I know.

1183
00:54:56,488 --> 00:54:58,907
I want you to. You
need to know that.

1184
00:55:00,743 --> 00:55:02,828
You can keep the
baton. You should.

1185
00:55:04,788 --> 00:55:08,583
And, I promise, after
the inauguration,

1186
00:55:08,584 --> 00:55:10,793
you'll conduct the
National Orchestra.

1187
00:55:10,794 --> 00:55:13,004
Maybe do a full run up
the Eastern Seaboard.

1188
00:55:13,005 --> 00:55:14,797
That would be wonderful.

1189
00:55:14,798 --> 00:55:17,342
You don't have
to take this so gracefully,

1190
00:55:17,343 --> 00:55:19,177
me depriving you of
this dream right now.

1191
00:55:19,178 --> 00:55:20,511
You gave it to me.

1192
00:55:20,512 --> 00:55:22,513
I really wanted to.

1193
00:55:22,514 --> 00:55:23,849
I believe you.

1194
00:55:25,309 --> 00:55:27,101
I'm sorry.

1195
00:55:27,102 --> 00:55:28,770
This is what I signed on for.

1196
00:55:28,771 --> 00:55:30,355
To make your life easier

1197
00:55:30,356 --> 00:55:32,148
so your journey became longer.

1198
00:55:32,149 --> 00:55:33,941
Richer. More fulfilling.

1199
00:55:33,942 --> 00:55:36,861
And I've always been
rewarded for so doing.

1200
00:55:36,862 --> 00:55:40,406
It doesn't change just because
it's in a different arena.

1201
00:55:40,407 --> 00:55:41,908
What about your life?

1202
00:55:41,909 --> 00:55:44,702
Well, you said you
had a good day today.

1203
00:55:44,703 --> 00:55:47,081
- I did.
- Then so did I.

1204
00:55:53,587 --> 00:55:55,297
Hold this for me.

1205
00:55:57,466 --> 00:55:58,675
Until.

You told Prince you were

1213
00:56:46,557 --> 00:56:48,099
Seemed the only thing to say.

1214
00:56:48,100 --> 00:56:50,059
Especially after I
screwed up that bad.

1215
00:56:50,060 --> 00:56:52,270
You didn't screw up. You
tried to take him out

1216
00:56:52,271 --> 00:56:55,940
by making him look like
an insurance scammer.

1217
00:56:55,941 --> 00:56:57,568
Almost succeeded.

1218
00:56:59,278 --> 00:57:00,778
Lone gunman-style.

1219
00:57:00,779 --> 00:57:02,780
But I guess... fuck.

1220
00:57:02,781 --> 00:57:04,449
Guess I'm no assassin.

1221
00:57:04,450 --> 00:57:07,453
A clean kill can
turn very messy.

1222
00:57:09,246 --> 00:57:11,622
Today will only make him
more careful and cautious

1223
00:57:11,623 --> 00:57:14,750
about what he does
and how he appears.

1224
00:57:14,751 --> 00:57:16,128
This is all going to be hard.

1225
00:57:18,172 --> 00:57:20,131
And messy.

1226
00:57:20,132 --> 00:57:21,883
Don't get yourself fired.

1227
00:57:21,884 --> 00:57:23,885
We can't... none of
us... Can do this alone.

1228
00:57:23,886 --> 00:57:25,970
Or on a one-off attempt.
It needs to be full-on

1229
00:57:25,971 --> 00:57:29,474
<i>Murder On The Orient
Express</i> or nothing.

1230
00:57:29,475 --> 00:57:31,267
But are you really
prepared to go that far?

1231
00:57:31,268 --> 00:57:34,228
I am now. Are you?

1232
00:57:34,229 --> 00:57:36,939
Because Prince was right
about your impulsivity.

1233
00:57:36,940 --> 00:57:40,485
That shit can't get it
done at these stakes, so...

1234
00:57:40,486 --> 00:57:42,653
will you exercise the
discipline required

1235
00:57:42,654 --> 00:57:44,822
to really do it right?

1236
00:57:44,823 --> 00:57:46,824
I need to know.

1237
00:57:46,825 --> 00:57:49,995
I will. And we will.

1238
00:57:51,538 --> 00:57:52,873
