Anything happen yesterday?
I had to go out to Axe's house
in the Hamptons for a special meeting.
Axe bought the distressed
debt on this town upstate.
Now they're defaulting.
It's a shit load of money.
What do you think you should do?
Well, what are the options?
Austerity.
Or lose money.
Do you see the connection?
With the hackers?
You're saying we're like them?
They're agents of chaos
who can destabilize all our lives
just because they feel like it.
Who are you to those people upstate?
- Chaos.
- Yes.
Axe Cap is the agent of chaos.
You know what austerity means.
You guys traverse moral
and legal gray areas
all the time, but you can live with it
because you're rarely aware
of anyone getting hurt by it.
With this town,
you know exactly who's getting hurt,
and where they're gonna feel their pain.
And how their lives are
gonna spin out of control
because of decisions
made in your presence,
at a fucking mansion in the Hamptons.
I don't even know that
it's wrong for him
to do what he's doing
only that I don't like
how it makes me feel.
This is all connected.
When a situation starts affecting you
so much you can't sleep,
you have to take action.
Fighting for those people
and fighting for yourself
are one and the same.
[woman] I taught elementary
school for 30 years,
always contributing to my pension.
That was my nest egg for retirement.
Then that nest egg got invested.
But the town it was invested in
mismanaged its finances.
And now they don't want
to pay what they owe,
and my retirement is threatened.
A spot like this will kick
off our Astroturf campaign
to make it look like the
area's getting a bailout
and not a death sentence.
Commercials like this one,
but specific to Sandicot,
sell the idea that our investors,
teachers from the Midwest,
hardworking,
responsible people from all over,
they are the ones who suffer
if Sandicot is allowed to default.
Make it clear that we are the
ones willing to negotiate.
It's the town that's being difficult.
Of course.
Sandicot is being uncooperative.
We'll say all that.
Any questions?
Danzig.
You've been awfully quiet.
Are we really gonna do this?
I mean, we can make some market moves
and potentially pick up some
of the losses by next quarter.
We're making it look like
our investors are down
to eating cat food.
The people up there are
sure to turn to the media
and to cry poor,
to play the victim card.
It makes sense for us to point out
that there are other victims.
Exactly.
But we are not really the victims.
They are.
I kind of feel like he's right.
We could hold the debt,
take a short-term loss,
but then take the lead
in re-growing Sandicot,
redeveloping the downtown.
Uh, create a food hall
or bring in a minor-league team.
Taylor, something
you want to add to that?
Yes.
It is unfortunate
offensive, actually
to even be talking about this,
and that people have to
live in near-poverty.
But in many ways,
a town is like a business.
And when a business
operates beyond its means,
when numbers don't add up,
and the people in charge continue on,
heedless of that face,
sure that some sugar daddy,
usually in the form of
the Federal Government,
will come along and scoop them
up and cover the shortfalls,
well, that truly offends me.
People might say you hurt this town.
But in my opinion,
the town put the hurt on itself.
Corrections are in order.
There's a way to make this work,
and that way is hard, but necessary.
As Taleb says,
"Become antifragile, or die.
"
Once we do this,
the town will face that challenge
and come out stronger.
Or it will cease being.
Either result absolutely natural,
as in, of nature itself.

[inhales, sighs]
You've been stepping things up lately.
Extra-nice ties, new suits.
You been speed-dating with law firms?
I might've tried a lightning round.
Mm.
And?
She's not as hot as her profile pic.
Yeah?
No.
Line AUSA's like us,
you're only looking at 600K to start.
If you get Chief of Crim and go private,
it's a lot more than 600.
It's double.
[sighs]
I just don't think I can stick
around if Connerty gets it.
I'm not gonna have the
stomach for that shit.
Maybe he won't get it.
After Boyd?
Don't count yourself out.
You've been crushing it lately.
Chuck took him to Keens for lunch.
Oh, shit.
Yeah.
Shit.
The mutton chop is the
thing to order here.
It's what they're known for.
Mutton? I don't know.
Come on, it's tradition.
Oh, this place has
a special character, doesn't it?
You can almost feel all
the history in this room,
all the deals that've been made.
It's where Senator Vandeveer
brought me when she told me
I was being appointed U.
S.
Attorney.
And it's where I always
thought I would take you
when you'd earned the
promotion to Head of Crim.
Mutton's an interesting euphemism,
isn't it?
Well, nobody ever says "sheep.
"
But who wants to eat
something so adorable, right?
So it's a mutton chop.
Definitely less objectionable.
The kangaroo industry
recently tried that.
- Did they?
- Yes.
In fact, there was a country-wide survey
to pick a name,
and they settled on "Australus.
"
But not for the same reason as a sheep.
No, this was entirely different.
Seems the kangaroo has a great
deal in common with the rat.
Hence, "Australus.
"
I mean, it's elegant, don't you think?
And yet, even by any other name,
there's still a slab of giant rat
sitting on the plate
right in front of you.
[server] Can I get you started?
Ah, here we go.
He'll have the mutton.
I'm not ready yet.
[clears throat]
Bryan
do you have something to tell me?
I'm not sure what you mean.
I think you know.
Are we talking about the investigation?
Yes.
Yes.
We are.
