- [woman] Cheers.
- [Ben] Cheers.
- The man here yet?
- [glasses clink]
- [Ben] Nah, I haven't seen him.
- [Taylor] Cheers.
What? Weird.
- [knock on door]
- [Chuck] Yeah?
- [doorknob rattles]
- Hey.
Have a seat.
[door closes]
[sighs deeply]
Fuck.
Thayer stonewalled us?
I'm not gonna shield you
from this, Bryan, all right?
I have decided not to
pursue Thayer or Sandicot,
for strategic reasons.
- Politics.
- Yeah.
[exhales] Plain and simple.
- Tell the team.
- [palms slap]
[engine rumbling]
[crickets chirping]
[engine turns off]
[footsteps]
[bowling pins clattering]
Welcome to my bowling club.
I worked it out so I
had it private tonight.
Sweet.
How are ya, Victor?
[exhales]
Lots of times, I thought about,
if I ran into you,
what I might say or do.
Here I am.
Hit me.
I can take it.
That's in the past.
Fuck you, Axe.
You think every time you take
a meeting or take a shit,
it's deep and filled with wisdom.
But you made a mistake letting me go.
You cut me, but you cut
yourself worse in the process.
You're not wrong, Victor.
You were collateral damage.
I regretted it.
- Really?
- Briefly.
And for a few moments after,
which surprised me.
You getting soft?
tense music
I came all the way out here, Victor,
on the recommendation of a dear friend,
to look at you.
[shoes scuff]
- What do you see?
- A man who's stuck
at a boutique firm,
a glorified day trader.
Making good money,
but not as good as it used to be.
But that's not the sticky part.
You can't be who you are,
and it's ripping you up.
Bit by bit.
What do you have and what do you want?
I want back in.
Not with the main fund.
I understand you can't do that,
and I don't want you to.
I want my own shop, a satellite.
[inhales] Terms will be
very generous for you
the first few years,
and I will give you the
prime fucking meats.
[file rustles]
Everything I know about Klaxon.
Internal memos, company documents.
It's bigger than a recall.
You leak this cover-up,
they'll drown in lawsuits.
You could cover at zero.
[papers rustle]
[sighs]
[inhales sharply ] Start
looking for office space.
Welcome back.
Donna!
I need Sacker now!
[taps papers]
- This.
What the fuck is this?
- [door closes]
Steph Reed says that Axe
bought some enemy's books?
Yes.
He cornered the
first edition book market
for those specific
books to spite a rival.
And did she say
which books?
Second World War by Churchill.
Motherfucker.
[scoffs]
tense music
This is what they do.
How the fuck do you compete
with something that powerful,
that swims around for days on end,
just waiting for the
faintest smell of blood
so it can attack without warning,
and with all the ferocity
and half the conscience
of a goddamn bull shark?
[inhales sharply]
You can't.
[breathes deeply]
Unless you can somehow
anticipate where it will strike
and then match its
strength when it does
which you can't.
I can see books are a trigger for you
Thank you, Sacker.
[door opens]
[papers thud]
[door closes]
[clears throat]
[exhales]
pulsating music
[thud]
[clears throat]
[touchscreen clicks]
Dad, I'm messengering something to you,
and I will be over to
discuss it in a while.
- [fingers tap desk]
- Good.
[Chuck Sr.
] Son, credit where it's due.
This Ice Juice thing is a win.
I've already spoken to Ira.
He ran me through
a few more of the numbers.
Yeah, well, I knew if Ira said it,
it would be so.
Yeah, he told me you almost
didn't bring it to me
out of some worry about conflict?
That would've been shortsighted.
I agree, and I am most certainly
taking the longer view at the moment.
Good boy.
We can't let this opportunity slide by.
This IPO could be the start
of a billion dollar windfall,
and it's a life-changer for him.
You keep saying "we.
"
I'm not liquid enough
to pull the trigger.
I find that hard to fathom.
My cash on hand happens to be
tied up in an few real
estate deals right now,
and it's not the right time to sell.
Huh.
Let me guess.
Kingsford?
I think it's best we not discuss that.
With your position,
that would be unethical.
But there is a solution.
The chunk of cash I need
is on a statement with your name on it.
- The blind trust.
- But, uh, why tell me about it?
Uh, isn't the whole point
to a blind trust that
I'm not supposed to know what
you're doing with the money?
No, not this time.
That trust was set aside
for you and the children.
But even the safest IPO
has a different risk profile
than a normal investment.
You have to know before I do it.
You want me to break my public vow?
[hands fall to lap]
The moment that I'm transitioning
into elected office?
It's only damaging if it gets out.
I'll invest silently.
Your role will be hidden.
We'll replace the funds as soon
as we sell some of the stock.
No one's the wiser.
Hmm.
Well, if this is what it takes
uh, to help you and Ira
- Does that mean
- Yeah.
Crack it open.
- [hands fall to lap]
- Use a bit for your venture.
[sighs] I trust your judgment.
[exhales] As always.
dramatic music
jazzy rock music
Excuse me.
Wendy.
- Lara.
- Welcome.
