He's a rich man.

3
00:00:09,291 --> 00:00:11,531
There always have been rumors
as to the way he earned it.

4
00:00:11,555 --> 00:00:12,917
You are willing to testify.

5
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,458
Jock Jeffcoat profited
along with his brother?

6
00:00:15,542 --> 00:00:16,417
I know he does.

7
00:00:16,500 --> 00:00:18,000
We're doing a massive cap raise.

8
00:00:18,083 --> 00:00:20,208
Welcome to the new
quant headquarters.

9
00:00:20,291 --> 00:00:21,750
He fired you.

10
00:00:21,834 --> 00:00:24,542
I was fodder. Don't try
to tell me different.

11
00:00:24,625 --> 00:00:27,083
So, is it prison
or start talking?

12
00:00:27,166 --> 00:00:28,208
Let's do this.

13
00:00:28,291 --> 00:00:30,709
Who the hell gave you
permission to talk to my son.

14
00:00:30,792 --> 00:00:32,166
Good thing is there's
no paperwork.

15
00:00:32,250 --> 00:00:34,250
Off the books. The
Chuck Rhoades Special.

16
00:00:34,333 --> 00:00:36,542
Your best friend sold you
down the river for nothing.

17
00:00:36,625 --> 00:00:38,665
I'm willing to pay you 30
million to tell the truth.

18
00:00:38,689 --> 00:00:41,166
But I sure as hell will testify
about what Chuck Rhoades did.

19
00:00:41,250 --> 00:00:43,542
You sold out my relationship.

20
00:00:43,625 --> 00:00:45,583
No, no. You did.

21
00:00:45,667 --> 00:00:48,166
That's why you told me
he was at your dinner.

Jock Jeffcoat's a

We have embarked on a
one-way mission here.

52
00:02:24,542 --> 00:02:28,125
We either get to the other side
and line dance on Jock's grave

53
00:02:28,208 --> 00:02:31,375
or he will most assuredly be
doing the Tush Push on ours.

54

Anybody who knew anything wasn't
willing to go on the record,

and anyone willing

didn't know anything.
I'm sorry, Chuck.

58
00:02:41,125 --> 00:02:42,667
"Never say sorry.

59
00:02:42,750 --> 00:02:44,070
Make the other fella
sorry first."

60
00:02:44,094 --> 00:02:45,709
Can you do that?

Cal Ripken, but it
would have been nice

to keep the streak going.

99
00:04:17,041 --> 00:04:19,917
I whopped you a good one.

100
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,458

105
00:04:31,709 --> 00:04:33,333
So... where is your bride?

106
00:04:33,417 --> 00:04:36,125
Uh, Taiga's out of town.
Visiting family.

107
00:04:36,208 --> 00:04:38,917
Hmm. So you're a bachelor
for the evening.

108
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,333
Boys' night out. Not quite.

109
00:04:40,417 --> 00:04:41,417
This is work.

110

Doesn't matter.

00:04:46,041 --> 00:04:47,333

113
00:04:47,417 --> 00:04:49,417
Just trying to keep my head
above the flood waters.

114
00:04:49,441 --> 00:04:50,917
Taiga's expensive.

115
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,166
She decided to start
a Yoga empire.

116
00:04:53,250 --> 00:04:54,709
SoulCycle, but...

117
00:04:54,792 --> 00:04:57,083
Mm. For yoga. Mm.

118
00:04:57,166 --> 00:04:59,166
And of course you supported her.

119
00:04:59,250 --> 00:05:01,625
It's who you are.

120
00:05:01,709 --> 00:05:02,208
But how deep are you in?

121
00:05:02,291 --> 00:05:04,750
Deep... and descending.

design problems,

Right.

00:14:25,745 --> 00:14:27,667
that you're here at Axe Cap,

362

that someone's "always
at the helm."

363
00:14:31,458 --> 00:14:34,250
Besides... the
raise is my thing.

364
00:14:34,333 --> 00:14:35,667
I'm thinking that
the final number

365
00:14:35,750 --> 00:14:38,375
will be something just shy of
half of what you're looking for.

366
00:14:38,456 --> 00:14:39,976
I don't agree. This
isn't heavy petting

367
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,000
on the Oberlin campus: We
don't both have to agree.

368
00:14:42,024 --> 00:14:43,208
I say what it is. You take it.

369
00:14:43,291 --> 00:14:44,971
Yes, that is so. But still.
I don't accept.

370
00:14:44,995 --> 00:14:47,375
I never made that
much at your age.

371
00:14:47,458 --> 00:14:48,208
I've accomplished
more than you had.

372

your own shop.

this conversation,

you will be replaced.

version of you.

Ok. What you did with
the Wendy thing aside,

419

On top of your other bonus

422

that's more than a
two-ball for this year.

423

would go numb.

538
00:21:47,625 --> 00:21:50,208
Then I'd start thinking
I didn't have legs,

and I'd wish for fins.

540

in would make more sense.

Spyros was concerned
that his comp meeting

There is no bonus

doesn't run to Jock,

715
00:28:53,500 --> 00:28:55,660
who then treats us to our own
personal My Lai Massacre.

716
00:28:55,709 --> 00:28:58,542
The bloodshed and the cover-up.

717
00:28:58,625 --> 00:28:59,375
That would be
obstruction of justice.

718
00:28:59,458 --> 00:29:01,000
Yes. Yes, it would.

719
00:29:01,083 --> 00:29:04,166
But that would not deter
Jock in the slightest.

720
00:29:04,250 --> 00:29:06,291
He recognizes no legal
or moral authority,

721
00:29:06,375 --> 00:29:07,959
no justice but his own.

their speed dial.

I didn't want to keep you up.

Jock?

784
00:31:44,041 --> 00:31:46,542
Yeah. It's that. Sure.

785
00:31:46,625 --> 00:31:49,583
But more than that,
it's still Ira.

786
00:31:49,667 --> 00:31:51,875
I could be bounded in a nutshell

787
00:31:51,959 --> 00:31:55,041
and count myself a king
of infinite space,

788
00:31:55,125 --> 00:31:57,333
were it not that I
have bad dreams.

789
00:31:57,417 --> 00:32:00,583
You've reached Shakespearean
levels of insomnia.

790
00:32:00,667 --> 00:32:02,417
It's disorder in the house.

791
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,333
Ira is the brother I chose.

792
00:32:07,417 --> 00:32:08,667
And this rift between us,

793
00:32:08,750 --> 00:32:11,500
however he fought
back, I caused it.

794
00:32:11,583 --> 00:32:13,834
I used him as an
instrument, not thinking,

795
00:32:13,917 --> 00:32:17,291
not caring what I was
taking from him.

796
00:32:17,375 --> 00:32:19,095
And I know, deep down,
if I were back there,

797
00:32:19,119 --> 00:32:22,667
I would do it again.

798
00:32:22,750 --> 00:32:26,166
Every bit of this makes
me feel like a...

799
00:32:26,250 --> 00:32:28,917
Shit heel. Indeed.

800
00:32:30,417 --> 00:32:33,709
But now that Ira's in jeopardy,

801
00:32:33,792 --> 00:32:36,834
I have a chance to
put things right.

802
00:32:36,917 --> 00:32:40,250
To rescue him. To be a hero.

803
00:32:40,333 --> 00:32:42,875
If I pull it off,
and make him well,

804
00:32:42,959 --> 00:32:44,709
does the reason really matter?

805
00:32:49,542 --> 00:32:51,667
Why can't you give
Taylor what they want?

806
00:32:51,750 --> 00:32:53,291
Because it's too much.

807
00:32:53,375 --> 00:32:54,959
And what they want
can't be given.

808
00:32:55,041 --> 00:32:56,208
It needs to be taken.

809
00:32:56,291 --> 00:32:58,131
And what would you do if
they tried to take it?

810
00:32:58,155 --> 00:32:59,875
Cut 'em down like I
was Connor MacLeod.

811
00:32:59,959 --> 00:33:02,709
What does it say

812
00:33:02,792 --> 00:33:05,166
that you always have to
quote the damn Highlander?

813
00:33:05,250 --> 00:33:07,834
That I spent some time
watching cable TV alone

814
00:33:07,917 --> 00:33:10,000
in high school. And that
I have pristine taste

815
00:33:10,083 --> 00:33:12,834
in movies, even back then.

816
00:33:12,917 --> 00:33:14,709
Or, that you see every
single challenge

817
00:33:14,792 --> 00:33:16,166
as a life or death contest

818
00:33:16,250 --> 00:33:18,375
to see who's gonna
lose their head.

819
00:33:18,458 --> 00:33:20,542
Well, kind of is
from where I stand.

820
00:33:20,625 --> 00:33:22,705
You really think I should
give Taylor what they want?

821
00:33:22,729 --> 00:33:25,709
I think you should convince
Taylor that you're partners.

822
00:33:25,792 --> 00:33:27,832
I'm kind of surprised that
you're taking their side.

823
00:33:27,856 --> 00:33:29,625
You and I are on the
exact same side.

824
00:33:29,709 --> 00:33:32,375
They are on the other.

825
00:33:32,458 --> 00:33:34,250
But I want them
happy and earning.

826
00:33:34,333 --> 00:33:36,875
Well, yeah. Me too.

827
00:33:36,959 --> 00:33:39,083

00:33:39,166 --> 00:33:42,083

to keep somebody,

829

I don't want them gone.

00:37:07,083 --> 00:37:08,458
Yeah. I meant to, then I got...

895
00:37:08,542 --> 00:37:10,458
Oh, no, you gotta open it.

896
00:37:18,041 --> 00:37:22,458
Oh, you are so right.

897
00:37:22,542 --> 00:37:27,041
I won't wear it 'til we've got him.
Bad luck.

898
00:37:27,125 --> 00:37:29,875
But once we do, yes,

899
00:37:29,959 --> 00:37:34,333
it's gonna be like Chris LeDoux
came back to life in here.

900
00:37:34,417 --> 00:37:37,458
Can't wait to see it.

901
00:37:37,542 --> 00:37:38,959
Let's go.

902
00:37:45,333 --> 00:37:48,000
Anthony Radaelli.

903
00:37:48,083 --> 00:37:50,333
It's not quite what I pictured,

904
00:37:50,417 --> 00:37:52,959
but I guess she has a type.

905
00:37:53,041 --> 00:37:54,041
Who does?

906
00:37:54,083 --> 00:37:55,125
Uh, Taiga, of course.

907
00:37:55,208 --> 00:37:58,542
Oh. So that's what
this is about?

908
00:37:58,625 --> 00:38:01,250
Mm. She is a key
figure in this story.

909
00:38:01,333 --> 00:38:02,834
In your story.

910
00:38:02,917 --> 00:38:05,625
But not for long. No,
because you are gonna

911
00:38:05,709 --> 00:38:07,417
give her back all of her money,

912
00:38:07,500 --> 00:38:08,875
really her husband's money.

913
00:38:08,959 --> 00:38:10,875
And then fuck off
whence you came.

914
00:38:10,959 --> 00:38:12,417
Yeah. That's not gonna happen.

915
00:38:12,500 --> 00:38:15,041
Taiga and I, we're a good fit.

916
00:38:15,125 --> 00:38:17,583
I know. You were
seeing her before Ira.

917
00:38:17,667 --> 00:38:19,667
Before her last boyfriend, too.

918
00:38:19,750 --> 00:38:22,208
You just keep popping up
in her life, suddenly

919
00:38:22,291 --> 00:38:24,375
when things are
going well for her.

920
00:38:24,458 --> 00:38:28,291
You're like that James
Woods character in Casino.

921
00:38:28,375 --> 00:38:30,542
Come to think of it, maybe
just like James Woods.

922
00:38:30,625 --> 00:38:33,291
Anyway, perhaps you think
you're soul mates,

923
00:38:33,375 --> 00:38:35,041
maybe it's a scam. Either way,

924
00:38:35,125 --> 00:38:37,041
you're gonna forget
she ever existed.

925
00:38:37,125 --> 00:38:39,375
Or I will summon the
full power of my office

926

Mm. You wouldn't use
your job like that.

933
00:39:02,125 --> 00:39:04,250
- I guess. Yeah.
- Yeah. Reason people say it is:

934
00:39:04,333 --> 00:39:05,917
Because a federal case

935
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,500
is the worst fucking
thing there is.

936
00:39:08,583 --> 00:39:11,417
State crimes, city violations,

937
00:39:11,500 --> 00:39:13,792

Yeah. And even if you
do get convicted,

you probably only serve a
fraction of the time given,

940
00:39:19,750 --> 00:39:21,417
then you get off
for good behavior,

941
00:39:21,500 --> 00:39:22,917
you get parole,

942
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:24,417
maybe you never even have to go

943
00:39:24,500 --> 00:39:26,500
'cause the jails
are too crowded.

944
00:39:26,583 --> 00:39:29,083
So you stay at home with a
bracelet on your ankle,

945
00:39:29,166 --> 00:39:31,208
and you spend your day
trying to convince

946
00:39:31,291 --> 00:39:33,417
the pizza delivery girl
to give you a blowjob.

947
00:39:34,792 --> 00:39:37,792
But, you see, there
are no blowjobs

948
00:39:37,875 --> 00:39:39,750
in a federal case.

949
00:39:41,125 --> 00:39:44,333
Mm. Our conviction
rate is 97 percent.

950
00:39:44,417 --> 00:39:46,125
And there is no parole, either.

951
00:39:46,208 --> 00:39:48,166
So you do the full time.

952
00:39:48,250 --> 00:39:49,709
And that time is almost always

953
00:39:49,792 --> 00:39:53,291
exactly what the prosecutor,
what I, recommend.

954
00:39:53,375 --> 00:39:56,291

out with it.

1000
00:41:56,583 --> 00:41:59,542
I need a private place to

1001

I appreciate that
you're smart enough

1002
00:42:03,500 --> 00:42:05,625
not to take this to a hotel,

1003
00:42:05,709 --> 00:42:07,166
it's too public.

1004
00:42:07,250 --> 00:42:11,542
Even with things being the
way they've been between us,

1005

It's not really like that,

1007

Monogamy is a form of socialism.

1009
00:42:20,500 --> 00:42:21,834
It's testosterone redistribution

1010
00:42:21,917 --> 00:42:25,959
so a few bucks don't keep

that he can't take
care of himself.

it's menschkeit.

I'm even prouder.

1016

1017
00:42:42,375 --> 00:42:43,709
Hour or so.

1018
00:42:43,792 --> 00:42:44,834
I could stay,

1019
00:42:44,917 --> 00:42:46,083

1020
00:42:46,166 --> 00:42:47,583
No. No.

1021
00:42:47,667 --> 00:42:50,125
Thank you, Dad, no, um,
I just need the space.

1022
00:42:50,208 --> 00:42:52,709
Mm-hmm.

1023
00:42:56,709 --> 00:42:59,875
Taiga, I don't know
you very well.

1024
00:42:59,959 --> 00:43:00,834
I didn't try to get to know you,

1025
00:43:00,917 --> 00:43:02,583
and that's on me.
Perhaps I thought Ira

1026
00:43:02,667 --> 00:43:04,959
would move on to someone more...

1027
00:43:05,041 --> 00:43:07,792
Substantial?

1028
00:43:07,875 --> 00:43:10,417
Closer to his age bracket.

1029
00:43:11,417 --> 00:43:14,000
So I'm at a bit of a
loss whether to appeal

1030
00:43:14,083 --> 00:43:19,000
to your decency, your
vanity, your avarice...

1031
00:43:19,083 --> 00:43:22,834
or just to your fear center.

1032
00:43:22,917 --> 00:43:24,208
Please.

1033
00:43:24,291 --> 00:43:26,250
Anthony returned the money,

1034
00:43:26,333 --> 00:43:28,583
even got back the deposit
on that apartment.

1035
00:43:28,667 --> 00:43:30,375
And now he's gone.

1036
00:43:30,458 --> 00:43:32,625
You chased him off. I did.

1037
00:43:32,709 --> 00:43:35,041
And I can't say that
you were wrong.

1038
00:43:35,125 --> 00:43:36,583
I'm embarrassed and
ashamed and, yes,

1039
00:43:36,667 --> 00:43:39,917
I am afraid of whatever
you're gonna do next.

1040
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,041
So congratulations.

1041
00:43:42,125 --> 00:43:43,917
Your fucked up tactics
fucked me up.

1042
00:43:49,417 --> 00:43:52,709
This is a postnuptial agreement.

1043
00:43:52,792 --> 00:43:54,834
It entitles you
to 50,000 dollars

1044
00:43:54,917 --> 00:43:58,458
for every year you
stay in the marriage.

1045
00:43:58,542 --> 00:44:00,542
Which means, all told,
you'll be walking away

1046
00:44:00,625 --> 00:44:01,917
with 50,000 dollars.

1047
00:44:04,542 --> 00:44:06,166
You don't need to read it.

1048
00:44:06,250 --> 00:44:08,709
I may play dirty, but
I don't deal dirty.

1049
00:44:08,792 --> 00:44:10,709
Just sign it, take it to Ira,

1050
00:44:10,792 --> 00:44:13,083
and then tell him
that you're leaving,

1051
00:44:13,166 --> 00:44:17,208
but that you wanted to
do it with integrity.

1052
00:44:34,166 --> 00:44:37,000
I liked him.

1053
00:44:39,083 --> 00:44:41,083
And I really did
try to love him.

1054
00:44:41,166 --> 00:44:44,208
Try harder.

1055
00:44:44,291 --> 00:44:46,166

- You give a marriage seven years

1056

00:44:53,125 --> 00:44:54,605
there's been a slow
but steady erosion

1061
00:44:54,629 --> 00:44:56,291
of the family.

1062
00:44:56,375 --> 00:44:58,250
Well, here is how
you keep one going:

1063
00:44:58,333 --> 00:45:00,053
You find a group of
friends better than you,

1064
00:45:00,077 --> 00:45:04,583
find one worse, bitch
about them to each other,

1065
00:45:04,667 --> 00:45:06,750
and then when you're
all bitched out,

1066
00:45:06,834 --> 00:45:07,834
run ten miles a day.

1067
00:45:07,917 --> 00:45:11,667
Take your birth control
pills and flush them;

project together.

1069
00:45:15,625 --> 00:45:18,542
And if Ira doesn't
know how to fuck you,

1070
00:45:18,625 --> 00:45:19,792
you teach him.

1071
00:45:19,875 --> 00:45:21,458
Okay. Yeah.

1072
00:45:21,542 --> 00:45:23,625
I'm not done. One more thing:

1073
00:45:23,709 --> 00:45:26,041
Give yourself the lime test.
You stick your finger

1074
00:45:26,125 --> 00:45:27,792
in lime juice and
put it up inside.

1075
00:45:27,875 --> 00:45:29,834
And if it stings, get
yourself cleaned out.

1076
00:45:29,917 --> 00:45:34,875
Do not bring the clap
home to your husband;

1077
00:45:34,959 --> 00:45:36,291
It's uncivil.

1078
00:45:47,834 --> 00:45:49,959
That's what you
meant by "advisor"?

1079
00:45:50,041 --> 00:45:53,458
Ira doesn't want or
need another divorce.

1080
00:45:53,542 --> 00:45:55,333
He needs a wife who's broken in.

1081
00:45:55,417 --> 00:45:58,500
And since he can't break
her, I'll do it for him.

1082
00:46:00,875 --> 00:46:04,959
This is what's gonna
make him happy.

1083

And that's what you
want, right, son?

1084
00:46:11,583 --> 00:46:15,083

off the hours before

1092

I even sent it to you.

1093
00:46:39,667 --> 00:46:40,792
Sure. Of course you did,

1094
00:46:40,875 --> 00:46:42,750
because you inflated 'em
in the first place.

1095
00:46:42,834 --> 00:46:43,709
Ten million fucking dollars...

1096

Not a penny over nine million.

I thought

it'd be petty to
toss everything.
