Billions

Pre v/ous/y on ”billions”...

Bobby fucking axe/rod. Man of the people.

We're gonna put him in a cell. The gloves are off.

We do whatever it takes.

Your value to the firm is absolute.

I've been working there since before we were married

and long before you were in office.

I take care of my people.

When Mick danzig gets tackled on his lawn

with a machine gun, I make the problem go away.

You don't get to where I am

without tolerating a lot of risk.

We. Where we are.

/made some decisions.

You shuttered it, the restaurant and the farm.

Let's go! Everybody out!

You married a criminal.

Walk away from the shame. Divorce his ass.

You want me to pressure my husband to back off.

- You know I can't do that. - Why not?

From here on in, /tell you your position in this,

if you have one at all.

Your boss got that bogus information on axe and the cops

by accessing his wife's private notes.

You betrayed my trust.

You sit there and you try to claim moral high ground.

Oh, oh, oh, oh. I claim it?

While you go on working at a criminal organization,

and you can't even fucking admit it to yourself.

I tell you about my issues with danzig,

and then there's a fucking investigation underway!

I didn't sell you out.

- Polygraph me, motherfucker. -

- - When I get back,

be gone.

Case is terminated.

J“ tense mus/c j“

come work for bach's firm on my account.

I didn't hear "no."

I am so sorry to have doubted you.

Your bonus.

I was planning to give you two million.

It just went up to five.

I quit, Bobby.

I can '1' be in denial about

what this place is, what you are, any longer.

You know the only enemy more dangerous

than a man with unlimited resources...

Is one with nothing to lose.

And that is what you are looking at

right here.

J“ dramatic music plays j“

Sorry about the hour.

You never have to say that to me.

In many ways, this place made me.

Sit.

There's nowhere that the stark difference

between winners and losers is more clear.

I have called you here tonight to tell you

how we are going to win.

J“ you can climb a mountain j“

j“ you can swim the sea j“

j“ you can jump into the fire j“

j“ but you'll never be free j“

j“ you can shake me up j“

j“ or/ can break you down j“

j“ whoa, oh, oh, oh, ohh j“

j“ whoa, oh, oh, oh, ohh j“

j“ we can make each other happy... j“

excuse me.

Pardon me. We got to get to work, babe.

Don't "babe" me here.

No one's opening the doors till axe says to open the doors.

Three fucking weeks working out of my living rooms,

I'm creaming to get in there.

First one in the lot this morning.

You showed up early to take a look around, didn't you?

See what really caused this. Unless you believe that whole

"fire extinguisher malfunction flood" bullshit.

- You won't stop with this. - Come on.

- That was no heart attack. - Who had a heart attack?

- Clemenza. Only he didn't. - The rosato brothers killed him,

and he's saying this is like that.

It is questionable. Fire systems have automatic cutoffs.

We weren't even allowed in to get our stuff.

I know what you know.

I heard axe went kind of nuts.

- Who the fuck asked you? - If axe says it was

a system malfunction, that's what it was.

J“ suspenseful music j“

Go time, yeah?

We need wags.

Do we?

We don't let the animals back in

until their keeper is here, too.

On it.

Nu“

You must defend your lapels.

Put your elbow inside the knee and work the elbow escape.

Yeah, I'll do all that next time.

When you can master moves like this,

you can generate offense out of defense,

even off your back.

Nu“

Showtime, folks.

He's waiting on you.

J“ whoa, oh, oh, oh, ohh j“

j“ whoa, oh, oh, oh, ohh j“

j“ we can make each other happy j“

j“ we can make each other happy j“

j“ we can make each other happy j“

j“ we can make each other happy j“

j“ whoa, oh, oh, oh, ohh j“

- Donna! -

Please take this out of here. Give it to some...

Sorry, sir. I was trying to stop him.

I'm Oliver dake, office of professional responsibility.

Opr. And not just here for a regular review

or you would have set up an appointment.

Correct. We are quite comfortable

not giving advance warning in cases like this.

Mm-hmm. And what sort of...

An investigation into your recent conduct.

- Well, that sounds serious. - Oh, it is.

I bet you'd like the use of an office.

I would.

Follow me.

Oh! Look at that.

So you were warned.

Don't for a moment think it gives you an advantage.

Who even thinks on those terms?

I have nothing to hide. You'll receive full cooperation.

With it, without it, I'll find out what's true.

Know that.

I'll count on it.

Yeah, it's dake.

Where are we at on the rhoades work-up?

You know what?

Let's add tax returns to the data that...

- It's time, wags. - Almost.

I don't want this to turn into the who in Cincinnati.

J“ dramatic music plays j“

Lead them in.

Now you fuckers know how much you miss this place

when you can't have it.

No electronics, personal or otherwise,

beyond a phone will come or go.

All employees will be issued magnetic ID bracelets

that will be necessary for entry and exit through the turnstiles.

People ask me what money can't buy.

In public, I say some sort of bullshit like,

"love and its many splendored so forth."

The real answer...

- Not much. -

And the best thing is it gives me access

to the world's most fascinating people.

Like our next speaker,

the finest performance coach there is.

I'd advise you to give her your full attention.

But I don't have to.

She'll get it.

It's what she does.

Dr. Wendy rhoades.

Performance.

That's a loaded word.

Scary. Lot of pressure.

- Not for me. -

You can perform?

Fucking right I can.

Come back to my office and try me.

- Never had any complaints. - Nice.

You know, they say a trained professional

can always tell when someone's lying.

That's an exaggeration. We don't always know.

But right now, I do.

You're lying.

Covering.

We all get complaints, right?

Struggle for you is you remember the complaints, don't you?

They lodge deep.

They haunt you.

Because you want to believe you're perfect.

But you know you're not.

That's why two billion dollars' worth of these babies

are sold every year.

Because they bring reassurance that when the time comes,

you can step up.

Some of you take them.

A little blue steel is nothing to be ashamed of.

But if I threw this bottle into the audience right now,

no one would grab it.

The thought that someone might know you need help

is worse than not getting the help you need.

Still, when the time comes,
