It almost cost me
everything that I had built
over my entire career.
The rest of us, we were at their mercy
because we didn't understand
what they were doing,
so we couldn't question it.
It was a chance meeting
with Axe at a golf outing
wherein he read my tarot cards for me,
told me what was gonna happen.
I was able to sell at 50.
If I had waited a few more months,
it would have been at two.
Axe's warning allowed me to save my ass
before it was too late.
I do not want to be in that position
ever again.
I see.
Even though your former
company was levered 31 times
and there were countless
other factors at play,
I get how traumatic that was.
So you're not gonna hire a quant?
I am not going to hire a quant.
That's become clear to me.
And you're correct.
Billy Beane never won a World Series.
But Theo Epstein did,
using all the same strategies
Billy came up with first,
and we will, too.
I accept I can't go outside
to find what we need,
so we're going to build our own.
I'm going to oversee it.
[door opens, closes]
He did it.
He damn near actually
kicked the guy in the cock.
Only it was a woman board member.
They ate him up.
I'm just so happy for the
both of you it worked out.
Axe, I am just so grateful.
You gave me back my world.
Hey, hey!
- Hey, Dad.
- Hey.
How are you, sweetheart?
Good to see you.
How you doing, brother? You good?
Mwah.
Good to see you.
[groans]
Well
I got dragged in.
How was it?
Fine, after your father
got done browbeating Kevin
over his handshake.
He could probably use it.
Right, because the tensile
strength of his grip alone
will dictate his outcome in life.
You'd be surprised.
Listen, he's doing his best to hide it,
but your father is
wrecked by what's
happened between you two.
He gave as good as he got, believe me.
Maybe.
But men of his age,
the big blows have an actual
effect on their health.
Yeah, in Somerset Maugham stories.
He's an ox.
He'll likely see me into the ground.
Chuck, I might be persuaded to let it go
if you were sleeping through the night.
But you are basically the undead
wandering the house until morning,
so some resolution would help you, too.
If he came brokering peace,
I'd hear him out.
What, you want me to initiate,
for Christ's sake? Come on.
[cellphone vibrates]
Yes, General?
You scheduled a press
conference for tomorrow?
Not yet, but wise idea.
Yes, given the wave of outrage at MCC
and sympathy for the young man,
I think it makes sense
to tell them that we
will not be prosecuting.
Yes.
Tonight José Lugo
is quite the cause célèbre.
But we are most certainly prosecuting.
I read different websites than you do,
watch different shows.
The more your New York Times
is blaring about Lugo's mistreatment,
the more Breitbart is inflamed
about a dead prison guard.
This case has national attention now,
so attention must be paid.
You savvy what I'm saying to you, Chuck?
You, uh, want to proceed
with the prosecution?
I don't know how cooperative
the witnesses at MCC will be.
Reading between the lines of that story,
I think the warden
Warden's been fired.
But you got a good point.
You got some leaks up there,
either in your shop, the prison's.
I'll plug 'em.
Yeah, well, you'll do more than that.
Where I come from,
the dogs don't stop yapping,
you don't just muzzle 'em.
You hit 'em with a shock collar
until they quiet up nice.
What is it?
The attorney general is ordering me
to prosecute an innocent man,
and I don't think I can
stop it from happening.
I have yet to meet the
man you can't outmaneuver.
Find your angle.
[door closes, keys jangle]
Is that blood?
Not mine.
I-I hit someone tonight, hard.
Self-defense, or
That law book you're reading
would call it assault.
Battery, too.
With intent to harm?
With intent to try and make myself feel
like I was actually doing something.
Did it work?
Nothing is.
Move over.
[sighs]
They're in this.
I can't look away from it anymore.
suspenseful music
Are you trying to show me
something by working this late?
No.
By this.
Effort's never been my problem.
No, you're an effort guy.
That's why I keep you around.
No matter who else I bring in here.
Great.
Have a good night.
Thanks for hanging in.
What's up?
Didn't work.
We got to do Lugo.
We announce tomorrow,
so file first thing.
You serious?
Mm-hmm, as heart attacks and cancer
and all those serious things.
Proposed strategy?
Play racial animus.
Associate Lugo with the
violence of his neighborhood.
Imply unofficial gang affiliation
through any friends or acquaintances
with records or old charges.
Tie this death to
recent police violence,
like it was payback.
Hammer the most convenient
version of the facts.
Lugo, while awaiting
charges for drug possession,
had a confrontation with a man
hired to protect the
public from criminals,
and that man is now dead.
I guess you do have it in you.
Is this how it's going to be now?
Yes, it is.
And no.
You know all those cases
we dropped for the A.
G.
?
- Yeah.
- Tomorrow morning,
I want you to start working
that Ponzi scheme case
- that hurt all those teachers.
- LeRoy?
Yes, in earnest and off the radar.
Start building it out.
