Have you ever had her on the record?
I don't think so.

November 20th, 2023.

87
00:07:08,708 --> 00:07:11,375
Mr. Usher has waived his right
to have an attorney present.

88
00:07:11,458 --> 00:07:15,208
And Mr. Dupin has waived a glass
of Henri IV, so which of us is crazier?

We're in my childhood home.

92
00:07:22,708 --> 00:07:26,208
Yeah, this is where I grew up.
Kept it all these years.

93
00:07:26,291 --> 00:07:27,541
The whole neighborhood…

94
00:07:28,083 --> 00:07:29,083
actually.

95
00:07:30,083 --> 00:07:31,708
So I can watch the paint peel.

96
00:07:32,583 --> 00:07:33,750
The weeds grow.

97
00:07:34,333 --> 00:07:37,208
And smell the rot
if I needed a pick-me-up.

98
00:07:38,833 --> 00:07:40,791
And what exactly are you confessing to?

99
00:07:41,750 --> 00:07:44,750
You mentioned Title 18, Section 371.

100
00:07:44,833 --> 00:07:47,375
- That's defrauding the U.S. government…
- All of it.

101
00:07:47,458 --> 00:07:49,375
- All of it?
- The whole thing.

102
00:07:49,958 --> 00:07:52,791
You brought what, uh, 73 charges?

103
00:07:52,875 --> 00:07:56,916
All of them, everything, all yours.
Right now.

104
00:07:58,416 --> 00:07:59,833
And I'll throw in a…

105
00:08:02,250 --> 00:08:03,250
a bonus.

106
00:08:07,083 --> 00:08:08,833
I'll tell you how my children died.

107
00:08:11,625 --> 00:08:15,041
I know how they died, Roderick.
Everybody knows.

108
00:08:16,958 --> 00:08:20,083
Believe me, Mr. Dupin, when I tell you,
you don't know a thing.

109
00:08:21,875 --> 00:08:22,875
But where to start?

110
00:08:24,625 --> 00:08:26,041
At the beginning, I suppose…

111
00:08:29,416 --> 00:08:30,416
is here…

112
00:08:32,041 --> 00:08:33,166
in this very room.

that Madeline and I were born into.</i>

115
00:08:43,791 --> 00:08:47,291
<i>And the woman who would shape
every choice we'd ever make.</i>

Children are never too tender
to be whipped.

123
00:09:08,833 --> 00:09:11,541
Like tough beefsteaks,
the more you beat them,

124
00:09:12,125 --> 00:09:13,916

we were far too young to understand,</i>

most insistent rules.</i>

- He's fine.
- No harm done. We'll talk about it Monday.

Just make sure those Emory files
are on my desk when I get in.

141

Of course, Mr. Longfellow.

- We were just trying to see...
- [Eliza] You know the rules, Madeline.

the same is true for Mr. Longfellow.

149
00:10:29,958 --> 00:10:31,375
He's mean.

He's complicated.

- How's your foot?
- It hurts.

153
00:10:37,291 --> 00:10:38,958
Remember what Mother Teresa said,

00:10:39,041 --> 00:10:41,666
"Pain and suffering
are like the kiss of Jesus."

155
00:10:42,791 --> 00:10:46,666

00:11:39,875 --> 00:11:42,041
[groaning]

174
00:11:42,125 --> 00:11:44,833
Don't say what you want,
say what makes him say what you want.

175
00:11:44,916 --> 00:11:46,333
That way it's his idea.

176
00:11:46,416 --> 00:11:49,333
Mom said we're not supposed
to ever bother him. Him especially.

177
00:11:49,416 --> 00:11:53,291
Trust me, it's the least he can do.
Okay, now let's go over it one more time.

178
00:11:53,375 --> 00:11:56,625
Sorry to bother you, Mr. Longfellow,
but since she worked for you

179
00:11:56,708 --> 00:12:00,125
so well for so long, almost 20 years,
we thought you would want to know…

180
00:12:00,208 --> 00:12:01,541
[Roderick] She's getting worse.

181
00:12:01,625 --> 00:12:04,416
And we know that you're…
You're so good at helping people.

182
00:12:04,500 --> 00:12:05,333
[chuckles]

183
00:12:05,416 --> 00:12:08,291
[Roderick] She always said you were a man
that could move mountains,

184
00:12:08,375 --> 00:12:09,541
talk anyone into anything.

185
00:12:09,625 --> 00:12:11,583
You were the smartest man she ever met.

186
00:12:12,166 --> 00:12:14,625
Uh, we're here to ask you,
maybe you have an idea.

187
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,708
Maybe you could talk her into it.

188
00:12:17,791 --> 00:12:20,750
I'm sorry, you're here at my home

189
00:12:21,416 --> 00:12:24,250
so I'll talk your mother
into seeing a doctor?

190
00:12:24,333 --> 00:12:26,666
She won't take any medicine. Nothing.

191
00:12:26,750 --> 00:12:29,541
Won't see any doctors.
And she's in so much pain.

192
00:12:29,625 --> 00:12:31,416
[Roderick] We thought
if you could help her,

193
00:12:31,500 --> 00:12:33,791
if you told her what she needs to do,
she might listen.

194
00:12:33,875 --> 00:12:35,916
She won't listen to us. But you, she…

195
00:12:37,458 --> 00:12:38,833
I mean…

196
00:12:38,916 --> 00:12:39,916
She loves you.

197
00:12:41,666 --> 00:12:44,791
- What did you say?
- It's the least you could do. For her.

198
00:12:45,541 --> 00:12:46,500
For us.

199
00:12:47,291 --> 00:12:51,375
I don't know what you're talking about.
No idea, okay?

200
00:12:51,458 --> 00:12:57,791
Eliza was a decent worker for a long time,
but she lost it. Didn't she?

201
00:12:57,875 --> 00:13:02,291
Now take your insinuations,
your fucking false insinuations,

202
00:13:02,375 --> 00:13:06,250
take your grift and get off my property.

203
00:13:14,125 --> 00:13:15,125
[woman] Are those…

204
00:13:16,416 --> 00:13:17,708
Are those Eliza's kids?

205
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,000
What do we do?

206
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,000
We know what she wouldn't want us to do.

207
00:13:42,708 --> 00:13:44,583
If we call someone that means police.

208
00:13:45,833 --> 00:13:48,041
- Doctors, they'll embalm her.
- They can't.

209
00:13:48,125 --> 00:13:49,125
[Madeline] I know.

210
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,208
So what do we do?

211
00:13:56,541 --> 00:13:59,958
[Roderick] <i>Thank Heaven!
The crisis, the danger, was past,</i>

212
00:14:01,166 --> 00:14:04,291
<i>and the lingering illness
was over at last.</i>

213
00:14:04,958 --> 00:14:09,458
<i>And the fever called "living"
was conquered at last.</i>

214
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,916
<i>Come, let the burial rite be read,</i>

215
00:14:15,666 --> 00:14:17,333
<i>the funeral song be sung,</i>

216
00:14:18,375 --> 00:14:20,666
<i>an anthem for the queenliest dead</i>

217
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,500
<i>that ever died so young.</i>

218
00:14:41,083 --> 00:14:41,916
[shovel thuds]

219
00:14:50,125 --> 00:14:52,125
[thunder rumbling]

220
00:14:54,750 --> 00:14:56,000
[thunderclap]

221
00:14:56,083 --> 00:14:57,083
[gasps]

222
00:15:00,833 --> 00:15:02,583
[thunder rumbling]

223
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:19,916
[Roderick] Maddie!

224
00:15:20,541 --> 00:15:21,666
What is it?

225
00:15:28,875 --> 00:15:29,708
[power booms]

226
00:15:30,416 --> 00:15:31,833
[thunderclap]

227
00:16:17,291 --> 00:16:18,916
[clock ticking]

228
00:16:25,041 --> 00:16:26,750
- [Roderick] Mom!
- [Madeline] Mommy!

229
00:16:27,708 --> 00:16:28,708
[Roderick] Mommy!

230
00:16:50,791 --> 00:16:53,666
I mean, she's probably
passed out somewhere, right?

231
00:16:53,750 --> 00:16:57,000
She had to crawl up, break out,
she probably just passed right out.

232
00:16:57,083 --> 00:16:57,958
Jesus.

233
00:16:58,250 --> 00:16:59,916
- What do we do?
- Call a doctor.

234
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,500
We've got to call!
I don't care what she says.

235
00:17:02,583 --> 00:17:05,083
It was an accident. They got to know
we didn't mean to…

236
00:17:13,500 --> 00:17:15,416
[whimpering]

237
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,750
[breathing heavily]

238
00:17:21,833 --> 00:17:22,791
[choking]

239
00:17:23,333 --> 00:17:24,791
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

240
00:17:25,750 --> 00:17:28,708
- We didn't know.
- We're sorry. Please, Mommy.

241
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:36,958
[exhales]

242
00:17:37,791 --> 00:17:39,791
[breathing heavily]

243
00:17:42,291 --> 00:17:44,291
[menacing music playing]

244
00:17:45,375 --> 00:17:47,083
[both breathing heavily]

245
00:18:11,875 --> 00:18:14,958
No, the whole street's out,
it's not just us!

246
00:18:25,625 --> 00:18:26,583
Who is that?

247
00:18:28,083 --> 00:18:29,291
What are you doing here?

248
00:18:34,458 --> 00:18:35,666
Oh, my God.

249
00:18:40,250 --> 00:18:41,083
[screams]

250
00:18:41,166 --> 00:18:42,416
Mom!

251
00:18:53,958 --> 00:18:54,958
William!

252
00:19:00,208 --> 00:19:02,041
[woman] William!

253
00:19:02,125 --> 00:19:04,250
[shivering]

254
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,875
[woman] William!

255
00:19:11,833 --> 00:19:14,916
The official story was Longfellow
had a heart attack in his sleep.

256
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,791
That was before the Internet.
Prehistoric times.

257
00:19:17,875 --> 00:19:21,041
The nastiest bits we cleaned up
after I took over the company.

258
00:19:21,125 --> 00:19:23,083
To spare the family any embarrassment.

259
00:19:23,166 --> 00:19:25,458
I mean, my family, the Usher family.

260
00:19:26,666 --> 00:19:29,500
The last thing my mother did in this life…

261
00:19:30,875 --> 00:19:32,500
was kill a powerful man.

262
00:19:32,583 --> 00:19:36,958
And we carried that secret with us,
and loved her all the more.

263
00:19:38,333 --> 00:19:39,333
She was…

264
00:19:40,958 --> 00:19:42,291
remarkable.

265
00:19:44,958 --> 00:19:48,916
Why are you telling me this?
Why are we talking about your mother?

266
00:19:50,166 --> 00:19:54,583
Oh, I assume that I'm supposed to
because she's here.

267
00:19:56,750 --> 00:19:57,875
What do you mean?

268
00:19:59,250 --> 00:20:00,416
She's right behind you.

269
00:20:05,708 --> 00:20:07,083
[inhales deeply]

270
00:20:07,166 --> 00:20:13,000
You know, I read somewhere
about high-powered negotiation tactics.

271
00:20:13,791 --> 00:20:16,791
How some truly brilliant business people

272
00:20:16,875 --> 00:20:20,500
will plant these moments
into high-stakes conversations.

273
00:20:20,583 --> 00:20:23,125
Force a reaction, no matter how trivial.

274
00:20:23,208 --> 00:20:26,500
Talk softly to make an adversary lean in.

275
00:20:27,541 --> 00:20:30,916
Make them repeat themselves.
Throw your eyeline behind them.

276
00:20:31,708 --> 00:20:32,708
Make them…

277
00:20:33,666 --> 00:20:34,666
turn around.

278
00:20:35,375 --> 00:20:39,291
Just something to assert a little control.

279
00:20:42,750 --> 00:20:44,708
I'm not going to turn around, Roderick.

280
00:20:46,833 --> 00:20:47,833
That's fine with me.

281
00:20:49,708 --> 00:20:51,916
[thunder rumbling]

282
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,875
So, why are you telling me this?

283
00:20:53,958 --> 00:20:57,416
Because… Well, we were
talking about my kids, weren't we?

284
00:20:57,500 --> 00:20:59,250
And… And this is important to know

285
00:20:59,333 --> 00:21:01,041
when we talk about how they died.

286
00:21:01,875 --> 00:21:03,541
And why I treated them the way I did.

287
00:21:04,250 --> 00:21:09,458
And why they were the way they were,
was because of my dad.

288
00:21:11,750 --> 00:21:15,083
I just promised
I would never do what he did.

289
00:21:15,166 --> 00:21:18,041
I wouldn't close the gates.
If you're my blood, you're my blood.

290
00:21:18,125 --> 00:21:21,583
Doesn't matter how you got here,
who your mother was. I have six kids.

291
00:21:23,250 --> 00:21:25,041
Six kids by five mothers.

292
00:21:25,833 --> 00:21:27,000
But they're all mine.

293
00:21:28,250 --> 00:21:29,375
And I treated them so.

294
00:21:29,458 --> 00:21:30,458
If you're an Usher,

295
00:21:31,833 --> 00:21:33,416
the gates are open. Period.

296
00:21:34,666 --> 00:21:35,750
Matter of principle.

297
00:21:37,791 --> 00:21:39,166
[phone vibrates]

298
00:21:41,208 --> 00:21:42,458
Your granddaughter again?

299
00:21:44,541 --> 00:21:45,500
Yeah.

300
00:21:45,583 --> 00:21:47,708
[Auguste] Mmm. The gates are always open,

301
00:21:47,791 --> 00:21:49,916
but that doesn't mean
you answer the phone.

302
00:21:50,916 --> 00:21:52,375
No, it does not.

303
00:21:52,458 --> 00:21:55,083
Day will come, she'll stop texting.

304
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,500
They all do, sooner or later.

305
00:21:57,583 --> 00:22:01,958
Your grandkids are at your house
right now, with your kids too,

306
00:22:02,041 --> 00:22:03,458
and you're here with me.

307
00:22:04,250 --> 00:22:06,083
So let's skip the soapbox.

308
00:22:07,250 --> 00:22:08,541
Are you watching my house?

309
00:22:08,625 --> 00:22:12,041
If I'm not mistaken,
I never saw your husband at the courtroom.

310
00:22:12,625 --> 00:22:13,583
Not once.

311
00:22:13,666 --> 00:22:17,166
A culmination of your life's work,
and he wasn't there, rooting you on.

312
00:22:17,250 --> 00:22:20,500
Why is that, if you're such an expert
on family values?

313
00:22:20,583 --> 00:22:23,541
And come to think of it, my whole family
was there. Day one.

314
00:22:23,625 --> 00:22:26,166
In fairness, a few of them
were indicted co-conspirators.

315
00:22:26,291 --> 00:22:28,916
- Hey now.
- My family didn't need to be there.

316
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,125
I didn't want them
anywhere near you people.

317
00:22:31,791 --> 00:22:34,041
You always were
an effective orator, Auggie.

318
00:22:35,083 --> 00:22:37,208
Your opening arguments, I was impressed.

319
00:22:38,416 --> 00:22:40,333
I watched that tape back a few times.

320
00:22:43,250 --> 00:22:44,916
That may have been the last time…

321
00:22:45,875 --> 00:22:47,125
you know…

322
00:22:47,208 --> 00:22:50,708
- The last time you were impressed?
- The last time we were all together.

323
00:22:52,708 --> 00:22:56,416
That day was the last day
we were all in the same place.

324
00:22:58,458 --> 00:22:59,458
Alive.

325
00:23:01,416 --> 00:23:03,000
[Auguste] Thank you, Your Honor.

326
00:23:03,500 --> 00:23:04,583
Ladies and gentlemen…

327
00:23:05,375 --> 00:23:07,958
my name is Charles Auguste Dupin.

328
00:23:09,041 --> 00:23:12,458
And it is my privilege to represent
the United States of America

329
00:23:12,541 --> 00:23:15,791
against Fortunato Pharmaceuticals

330
00:23:15,875 --> 00:23:18,333
and the Usher crime family.

331
00:23:18,416 --> 00:23:22,125
Today, I want to tell you why
the United States government

332
00:23:22,208 --> 00:23:24,916
has finally brought these charges

333
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,833
in what will be the most meaningful
pharmaceutical prosecution

334
00:23:28,916 --> 00:23:31,333
in the history of our country.

335
00:23:31,416 --> 00:23:37,416
Now, I know, there have already been
a lot of headlines about Fortunato Pharma.

336
00:23:37,500 --> 00:23:39,375
About Ligodone.

337
00:23:40,041 --> 00:23:43,583
About the opioid epidemic
in our homes and streets.

338
00:23:43,666 --> 00:23:47,916
The mountain of corpses that piled up
since Roderick Usher,

339
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:52,875
he's sitting over there, began marketing
his painkillers decades ago.

340
00:23:53,791 --> 00:23:58,375
The Usher family under CEO Roderick Usher
and COO Madeline Usher

341
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:03,416
spent four decades growing Fortunato
into one of the most profitable,

342
00:24:03,500 --> 00:24:05,833
powerful companies on the planet Earth.

343
00:24:05,916 --> 00:24:10,291
They've achieved this
by doing awful, awful things.

344
00:24:11,166 --> 00:24:17,833
Flagrantly violating regulations, statutes
and the most fundamental ethics.

345
00:24:18,625 --> 00:24:22,458
And at the cost of people's lives.

346
00:24:23,458 --> 00:24:27,458
We will prove that Fortunato,
as a matter of policy,

347
00:24:27,541 --> 00:24:30,125
engages in misleading marketing practices.

348
00:24:30,208 --> 00:24:33,208
It claims its products
are safe and effective,

349
00:24:34,208 --> 00:24:36,750
and destroys any evidence
that they are not.

350
00:24:36,833 --> 00:24:39,416
Burns evidence, fabricates evidence,

351
00:24:40,125 --> 00:24:43,625
destroys, defiles, degrades and defrauds.

352
00:24:44,833 --> 00:24:46,666
And the reason they aren't sweating,

353
00:24:47,916 --> 00:24:51,000
the reason their lead attorney
and enforcer Mr. Arthur Pym-

354
00:24:51,083 --> 00:24:52,750
- Objection.
- [Judge] Sustained.

355
00:24:52,833 --> 00:24:55,833
Their lead attorney, Mr. Arthur Pym,

356
00:24:55,916 --> 00:24:58,583
he's the one doing the crossword puzzle
while I'm talking.

357
00:24:59,416 --> 00:25:04,625
They believe that people like them
don't go to prison.

358
00:25:05,250 --> 00:25:07,250
Ladies and gentlemen, they're right.

359
00:25:07,791 --> 00:25:12,750
In 40 years, not one thing,
not one indictment, not one charge.

360
00:25:12,833 --> 00:25:14,333
Not even a speeding ticket.

361
00:25:14,416 --> 00:25:19,083
Not one consequence
has stuck to Roderick Usher

362
00:25:19,166 --> 00:25:21,458
or Madeline Usher
or anyone else in the family.

363
00:25:21,541 --> 00:25:23,750
- Objection.
- Sustained.

364
00:25:25,083 --> 00:25:28,500
The House of Usher
has weathered every storm,

365
00:25:28,583 --> 00:25:30,750
sling and arrow and stands higher,

366
00:25:30,833 --> 00:25:35,166
stronger and darker today
than ever before.

367
00:25:35,875 --> 00:25:39,083
But you're going to hear
something else too.

368
00:25:39,166 --> 00:25:41,041
Something they don't expect.

369
00:25:41,125 --> 00:25:44,000
And the reason why this trial's
going to have a different outcome.

370
00:25:45,166 --> 00:25:47,458
You're going to hear from one of them.

371
00:25:49,083 --> 00:25:52,166
An informant from within the inner circle.

372
00:25:52,250 --> 00:25:54,791
Someone so close to this family's crimes,

373
00:25:54,875 --> 00:25:57,166
their testimony and evidence
will be unimpeachable.

374
00:25:57,250 --> 00:25:59,041
- Objection!
- [Judge] Approach.

375
00:25:59,125 --> 00:26:00,708
[people murmuring]

376
00:26:07,791 --> 00:26:09,333
If such a witness exists,

377
00:26:09,416 --> 00:26:11,708
they have not been made known
to the defense.

378
00:26:11,791 --> 00:26:13,541
That violates basic discovery,

379
00:26:13,625 --> 00:26:15,625
and the government
knows better, Your Honor.

380
00:26:15,708 --> 00:26:18,666
This witness came forward
at great personal risk,

381
00:26:18,750 --> 00:26:20,458
would be in danger if exposed.

382
00:26:20,541 --> 00:26:22,041
They even fear for their life.

383
00:26:22,708 --> 00:26:25,958
Your Honor, we have reason to believe
this courtroom is compromised.

384
00:26:26,041 --> 00:26:27,083
[Arthur] That's absurd!

385
00:26:27,166 --> 00:26:31,208
And until we are satisfied, we will keep
this informant's identity confidential.

386
00:26:31,291 --> 00:26:34,208
The government's position
is that the danger is real and immediate.

387
00:26:34,291 --> 00:26:37,583
All the more reason not to mention this
in your opening argument, Mr. Dupin.

388
00:26:38,458 --> 00:26:40,291
You're right. Your Honor, I…

389
00:26:40,833 --> 00:26:42,791
Well, I got ahead of myself.

390
00:26:42,875 --> 00:26:45,791
I'm not the young lawyer I used to be.
I'll happily strike.

391
00:26:49,333 --> 00:26:54,000
[Judge] We'll disregard the allusion
to an informant for the time being.

392
00:26:54,083 --> 00:26:55,541
Strike from the record, please.

393
00:26:56,708 --> 00:26:57,916
[gavel banging]

394
00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,750
Well, I think we're all frustrated.

395
00:26:59,833 --> 00:27:01,208
In the past year, what?

396
00:27:01,291 --> 00:27:05,125
Fifty-four, fifty-five thousand people
have died because…

397
00:27:06,208 --> 00:27:07,208
of greed.

398
00:27:07,916 --> 00:27:09,833
- Family dinner.
- All of them?

399
00:27:09,916 --> 00:27:11,125
Spouses too.

400
00:27:11,208 --> 00:27:14,166
[Auguste] No, this is not
a joyful day for me.

401
00:27:14,250 --> 00:27:17,666
I wish that individuals like the Ushers

402
00:27:17,750 --> 00:27:21,000
would take responsibility for things
they've caused in people's lives.

403
00:27:21,791 --> 00:27:23,583
[Frederick] Holy fuck, this is bad.

404
00:27:27,416 --> 00:27:30,166
Dad doesn't do family dinners.
This is about one thing.

405
00:27:30,708 --> 00:27:33,041
- The mole.
- [Lenore] Informant.

406
00:27:33,125 --> 00:27:35,041
A mole is one of them who infiltrated us,

407
00:27:35,125 --> 00:27:37,500
an informant is one of us
giving something to them.

408
00:27:37,583 --> 00:27:41,083
Okay, so a mole is like
Leonardo DiCaprio in <i>The Departed,</i>

409
00:27:41,791 --> 00:27:44,083
an informant is Jack Nicholson
in <i>The Departed.</i>

410
00:27:44,166 --> 00:27:46,750
He was! Nicholson was talking to the Feds
the whole time.

411
00:27:46,833 --> 00:27:48,875
I get it. There are other movies, Dad.

412
00:27:48,958 --> 00:27:51,208
- Not as good as <i>The Departed.</i>
- Look at this one.

413
00:27:51,291 --> 00:27:53,416
You are getting ridiculously good
at that, honey.

414
00:27:53,500 --> 00:27:55,583
- Well, I want your dad to love it.
- [ball thuds]

415
00:27:55,666 --> 00:27:58,250
And this always just delights him
when he's in such a mood.

416
00:27:58,333 --> 00:27:59,958
[scoffs] Well, yeah, there's a…

417
00:28:00,041 --> 00:28:02,291
[sighs] …an informant in the family.

418
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,625
I mean, that can't be true,
can it? [sighs]

419
00:28:05,708 --> 00:28:08,458
I don't think it can be true.
If it is true, it's Perry.

420
00:28:08,541 --> 00:28:10,041
Oh, he's just a kid, Freddie.

421
00:28:10,125 --> 00:28:13,000
Who knows what that crazy little sh-
Sorry, honey.

422
00:28:13,083 --> 00:28:16,708
Who knows what that crazy little spit-head
will or won't do?

423
00:28:16,791 --> 00:28:18,500
And why the fuck-- Sorry, honey.

424
00:28:18,583 --> 00:28:21,541
Why the fuck would anybody think
it would serve their best interests

425
00:28:21,625 --> 00:28:24,375
to become a goddamn informant
for the government?

426
00:28:24,458 --> 00:28:27,125
Well, I mean,
they'd have to be pretty brave, I guess.

427
00:28:28,083 --> 00:28:29,208
Are the charges true?

428
00:28:30,416 --> 00:28:33,000
Because if not,
we've got nothing to worry about,

429
00:28:33,083 --> 00:28:37,041
but if someone really broke the law,
shouldn't they be punished?

430
00:28:37,125 --> 00:28:40,833
Lenore, that is a brave
and thoughtful thing to say.

431
00:28:41,791 --> 00:28:44,125
Especially if you want to get
written out of the will.

432
00:28:45,666 --> 00:28:47,791
[Bill] <i>You don't think
he'd do that, do you?</i>

433
00:28:47,875 --> 00:28:49,708
The only thing you can say
about Freddie is

434
00:28:49,791 --> 00:28:52,166
he wants Dad to love him
more than anything.

435
00:28:52,250 --> 00:28:55,208
He's shit at business, but he wouldn't
do anything to piss him off.

436
00:28:55,291 --> 00:28:57,583
My money is on one of the bastards.

437
00:28:58,333 --> 00:29:00,458
Maybe we've all
just underestimated Freddie.

438
00:29:00,541 --> 00:29:02,708
When your dad goes down,
Freddie's on the throne.

439
00:29:02,791 --> 00:29:04,416
Maybe he's giving him a little push.

440
00:29:04,500 --> 00:29:05,333
Why bother?

441
00:29:05,416 --> 00:29:08,541
He gets everything,
no matter how inept he is, apparently.

442
00:29:08,625 --> 00:29:09,875
Just look at his name.

443
00:29:09,958 --> 00:29:13,125
Frederick is as close to Roderick
as you get without a junior.

444
00:29:13,916 --> 00:29:16,291
I don't know why
he didn't just call him Froderick.

445
00:29:16,375 --> 00:29:19,083
- Oh, it's probably Perry.
- What about your new stepmom?

446
00:29:19,583 --> 00:29:20,666
- Could be Juno.
- Shut it!

447
00:29:20,750 --> 00:29:24,333
Don't mention her ever.
She doesn't exist. Do you understand?

448
00:29:24,416 --> 00:29:27,750
She's not in the will, is she?
He has to be smarter than that.

449
00:29:27,833 --> 00:29:29,458
Doesn't exist.

450
00:29:30,291 --> 00:29:31,666
Also doesn't know anything.

451
00:29:31,750 --> 00:29:34,916
- God, the timing. Bill-
- You could always push back the launch.

452
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:36,000
No. No way.

453
00:29:36,083 --> 00:29:38,000
Goldbug has to go off on time.

454
00:29:38,083 --> 00:29:40,291
I built the launch date
into the presentation.

455
00:29:40,375 --> 00:29:42,625
- Dad's already signed off.
- I mean, the trial.

456
00:29:43,166 --> 00:29:45,750
All the rest,
the world will understand, Tammy.

457
00:29:45,833 --> 00:29:47,958
I don't give a shit about the world.

458
00:29:48,041 --> 00:29:51,791
I care about what Dad thinks,
and he'd ride this out, so we ride it out.

459
00:29:51,875 --> 00:29:55,791
Goldbug will show him that
the Usher empire should be a matriarchy.

460
00:29:55,875 --> 00:29:59,666
And Tamerlane Usher should be the queen.
So just tell me what you need.

461
00:30:00,666 --> 00:30:02,083
I need Bill T. Wilson.

462
00:30:03,125 --> 00:30:05,291
So you just keep being him, okay?

463
00:30:06,208 --> 00:30:07,375
You warm up BILLT Nation,

464
00:30:07,458 --> 00:30:11,291
you keep those 10 million subscribers
all frothy for me.

465
00:30:11,375 --> 00:30:13,125
You know Blippi has 12 million?

466
00:30:13,208 --> 00:30:17,125
Fuck Blippi. And fuck this trial.
And fuck this informant.

467
00:30:17,958 --> 00:30:19,000
[sighs]

468
00:30:19,083 --> 00:30:20,333
Speaking of fucking…

469
00:30:21,125 --> 00:30:24,375
Who knows how late this goes tonight.
I canceled the girl.

470
00:30:24,916 --> 00:30:27,666
[hesitates] I didn't know
there was a girl tonight.

471
00:30:27,750 --> 00:30:30,666
Well, there was and she's cancelled.
Well, pushed, today.

472
00:30:30,750 --> 00:30:34,250
Dad needs to see his kids
don't need half a billion dollars

473
00:30:34,333 --> 00:30:37,125
and an endless supply of test monkeys
to be successful.

474
00:30:37,208 --> 00:30:38,291
[ECG beeping]

475
00:30:38,375 --> 00:30:41,166
[Alessandra] Just about got it.

476
00:30:42,916 --> 00:30:43,875
Ready?

477
00:30:51,208 --> 00:30:53,791
[breathes deeply, chuckles]

478
00:30:56,875 --> 00:30:59,166
[Alessandra] All right.
Let's close her up.

479
00:31:00,416 --> 00:31:01,833
Then cross our fingers.

480
00:31:06,041 --> 00:31:08,541
[Victorine] <i>It worked.
It really fucking worked.</i>

481
00:31:08,625 --> 00:31:09,833
I have to say,

482
00:31:09,916 --> 00:31:12,125
I think we're going to struggle
to get peer review.

483
00:31:12,208 --> 00:31:13,958
Don't say it's because of the nightshade.

484
00:31:14,041 --> 00:31:16,791
Because of the nightshade.
I am gonna say it again.

485
00:31:16,875 --> 00:31:18,916
This new powder your dad sent over…

486
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:20,916
- Oh. [scoffs]
- …it's gonna poison the study.

487
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:22,416
Hey. You hear those stories?

488
00:31:22,500 --> 00:31:25,250
Tourists in South America
get powder blown in their face

489
00:31:25,333 --> 00:31:26,916
and it paralyzes them?

490
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:28,916
This is the same stuff.

491
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,166
Our trial's never going to look legit

492
00:31:31,250 --> 00:31:34,000
if we're using
an experimental Fortunato paralytic.

493
00:31:34,083 --> 00:31:36,416
We'll just have to
keep it away from Perry.

494
00:31:36,500 --> 00:31:38,291
Or it'll end up in some co-ed's drink.

495
00:31:38,375 --> 00:31:39,416
[chuckles]

496
00:31:40,333 --> 00:31:43,250
- You sure you want me to come tonight?
- What?

497
00:31:43,333 --> 00:31:46,541
Seems like everybody's going to have
their guns out after court today.

498
00:31:46,625 --> 00:31:48,791
- The informant?
- No, you have to come.

499
00:31:48,875 --> 00:31:50,750
It's Camille, we all know it's Camille.

500
00:31:50,833 --> 00:31:53,875
- It's going to be a bloodbath.
- They said, bring Al.

501
00:31:53,958 --> 00:31:57,625
I'm sorry, Dr. Ruiz, but you have to come.

502
00:31:57,708 --> 00:31:59,208
[Leo] <i>You absolutely cannot come.</i>

503
00:31:59,291 --> 00:32:00,833
[Julius] <i>I'd like to meet your family.</i>

504
00:32:00,916 --> 00:32:04,500
But there's a whole process for that.
Significant others are a thing.

505
00:32:04,583 --> 00:32:05,833
You don't want that yet.

506
00:32:06,416 --> 00:32:08,166
The prenup's like a fucking phone book.

507
00:32:08,250 --> 00:32:11,500
[Julius] <i>Leo, you let me move in,
but you won't let me meet your family?</i>

508
00:32:11,583 --> 00:32:14,000
That's right.
I don't know when I'm going to get back,

509
00:32:14,083 --> 00:32:15,333
but we'll talk about it then.

510
00:32:15,416 --> 00:32:17,416
[Julius] <i>I'll be right up.
I'm in the elevator.</i>

511
00:32:17,500 --> 00:32:19,208
<i>- We can talk about it in a minute.</i>
- Oh.

512
00:32:19,291 --> 00:32:20,250
You're in the elevator.

513
00:32:21,291 --> 00:32:23,083
Okay, see you in a sec. [sighs]

514
00:32:23,166 --> 00:32:25,291
- You've got to go.
- You promised a selfie.

515
00:32:25,375 --> 00:32:26,541
Now. Fuck.

516
00:32:26,625 --> 00:32:29,750
Okay, you are going to have to wait
out here, okay?

517
00:32:29,833 --> 00:32:31,458
Are you fucking serious?

518
00:32:31,541 --> 00:32:32,541
Yeah.

519
00:32:32,625 --> 00:32:35,583
There's a blanket on the sofa,
hide under that or something.

520
00:32:35,666 --> 00:32:37,000
I don't know. Come on.

521
00:32:37,083 --> 00:32:39,166
I'll let you out
when he goes to the bathroom.

522
00:32:39,250 --> 00:32:42,333
Okay. My friends aren't going to believe
I met Napoleon Usher.

523
00:32:42,416 --> 00:32:43,833
- Okay.
- [giggles]

524
00:32:46,791 --> 00:32:50,375
- Hey. Why are you home early?
- [chuckles]

525
00:32:50,458 --> 00:32:54,500
- Not that I'm complaining.
- I figured, um… shit might hit the fan.

526
00:32:54,583 --> 00:32:56,166
I saw the clips on the news.

527
00:32:57,208 --> 00:32:58,041
Hey.

528
00:32:58,541 --> 00:33:00,500
[Leo] Mmm. Mmm…

529
00:33:01,416 --> 00:33:03,583
- [exhales] Okay.
- [inhales]

530
00:33:03,666 --> 00:33:05,250
You sure I can't come with you?

531
00:33:05,333 --> 00:33:07,708
- No, I don't think that's a good idea.
- [meows]

532
00:33:07,791 --> 00:33:09,125
It was on the news?

533
00:33:09,208 --> 00:33:10,791
You're kidding. It was all over the news.

534
00:33:10,875 --> 00:33:11,833
- Hey, Pluto.
- [Pluto meows]

535
00:33:14,291 --> 00:33:17,166
Hey, sweetie. Are you being good
for Other Daddy? Are you?

536
00:33:17,250 --> 00:33:18,125
Hey!

537
00:33:18,208 --> 00:33:20,250
Why don't we put the news on
in the bedroom?

538
00:33:20,333 --> 00:33:23,250
[Camille] We're coming out swinging.
Front-facing stuff.

539
00:33:23,333 --> 00:33:24,166
Softballs like Fox,

540
00:33:24,250 --> 00:33:27,208
Hannity knows which side
his dick's buttered on. He'll be friendly.

541
00:33:27,291 --> 00:33:28,166
Tucker?

542
00:33:28,250 --> 00:33:30,208
I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

543
00:33:30,958 --> 00:33:34,833
Yes, um, call Bresnickan at <i>Vanity Fair,</i>
see if he wants a profile on Leo.

544
00:33:34,916 --> 00:33:36,541
We can let Leo help out for a change.

545
00:33:36,625 --> 00:33:38,916
He can talk about his Jordans,
and his charity work.

546
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,541
Kimmel, Colbert, also Leo.

547
00:33:41,625 --> 00:33:46,166
And fuck it, fine, Victorine as well,
Victorine will work for <i>Vanity</i> and <i>Cosmo.</i>

548
00:33:46,250 --> 00:33:48,458
- For some reason, people like her.
- Uh, your step…

549
00:33:49,666 --> 00:33:53,625
Juno will be at the Met this weekend,
your dad's office asked for some <i>Page Six.</i>

550
00:33:53,708 --> 00:33:55,750
They scraped her off
an emergency room floor.

551
00:33:55,833 --> 00:33:58,125
Do they think I can turn her
into Princess Grace?

552
00:33:58,208 --> 00:34:00,791
Old enough to be her grandfather.
That'll never not be gross.

553
00:34:00,875 --> 00:34:03,541
It's fine, whatever. Fine.
Give them what they want.

554
00:34:03,625 --> 00:34:06,458
Um, priority one is the informant.

555
00:34:06,541 --> 00:34:09,958
I want you to start with Perry obviously,
but I don't think

556
00:34:10,041 --> 00:34:13,333
he's clever enough to keep it off TikTok
if he was dealing with the Feds.

557
00:34:13,958 --> 00:34:15,500
Do you need us after dinner?

558
00:34:15,583 --> 00:34:16,583
No, not tonight.

559
00:34:16,666 --> 00:34:20,333
What I do need is for you to stay on top
of Victorine and the rest of it.

560
00:34:20,416 --> 00:34:22,625
If this informant is real,
I have to find them.

561
00:34:22,708 --> 00:34:25,166
It's tough with Victorine.
She knows you're watching.

562
00:34:25,250 --> 00:34:28,750
I know, you'll figure it out. We're gonna
find out who's talking to the Feds.

563
00:34:28,833 --> 00:34:30,375
Then I'll freeze their fucking head

564
00:34:30,458 --> 00:34:32,458
and give it to my father
on a platinum plate.

565
00:34:34,375 --> 00:34:36,500
See if Cartier will make a platinum plate.

566
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:40,291
I still am so nervous.

567
00:34:41,750 --> 00:34:43,458
I've never hosted anything before.

568
00:34:46,083 --> 00:34:47,875
Moderated an NA meeting once.

569
00:34:48,875 --> 00:34:50,833
And only once. It was a disaster.

570
00:34:50,916 --> 00:34:53,333
You'll be great.
You don't have to do anything.

571
00:34:54,458 --> 00:34:56,541
But all of them? All at once?

572
00:34:56,625 --> 00:35:01,375
Thank God we didn't have a wedding.
I didn't have to look them all in the eye.

573
00:35:02,125 --> 00:35:03,791
- They hate me.
- They don't.

574
00:35:03,875 --> 00:35:05,375
Well, except Freddie.

575
00:35:05,958 --> 00:35:08,125
But I'm pretty sure
he's just kissing your arse.

576
00:35:08,208 --> 00:35:11,958
They will love you because I love you,
and the only thing stronger than love

577
00:35:12,041 --> 00:35:14,708
is how scared they are
of getting cut out of the will.

578
00:35:14,791 --> 00:35:16,750
- [door opens]
- [man] Excuse me.

579
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:19,000
I'm sorry.

580
00:35:21,083 --> 00:35:23,875
Don, what are you doing here?
Have you met my wife?

581
00:35:23,958 --> 00:35:27,708
Juno, this is Dr. Donaldson.
He's been with me a long time now.

582
00:35:27,791 --> 00:35:30,750
He'll be taking over your care soon
as you're done with Lewis.

583
00:35:30,833 --> 00:35:34,791
I was going to call, but figured
this was important enough that, uh…

584
00:35:36,625 --> 00:35:37,916
I need to talk to you.

585
00:35:38,500 --> 00:35:42,000
- Go ahead.
- [Donaldson] Alone, I think might be best.

586
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:54,916
[car beeps]

587
00:36:11,541 --> 00:36:13,916
Hey. Prospero is here.

588
00:36:14,958 --> 00:36:16,041
You ready for him?

589
00:36:16,125 --> 00:36:17,125
What?

590
00:36:19,208 --> 00:36:20,541
[bottle opens]

591
00:36:20,625 --> 00:36:22,541
[Prospero] This is a Glenfiddich. '96.

592
00:36:24,291 --> 00:36:27,916
- '96, the year…
- The year I was born. Yes. Exactly.

593
00:36:28,541 --> 00:36:30,958
Glenfiddich is totally into this idea,
by the way.

594
00:36:31,041 --> 00:36:32,916
We make it the official whiskey
of the club

595
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,583
and they open up the entire library
of bottles to us.

596
00:36:36,458 --> 00:36:38,583
You've had a year, a calendar year

597
00:36:38,666 --> 00:36:41,791
to come up with a proposal
for your first business venture,

598
00:36:41,875 --> 00:36:46,000
a venture we'd like to support,
and you've come up with a nightclub.

599
00:36:46,083 --> 00:36:48,541
Yes. Obviously,
you're not thinking big enough.

600
00:36:48,625 --> 00:36:49,458
- Uh…
- [Madeline] Hmm.

601
00:36:49,541 --> 00:36:51,333
Is the flagship club going to be amazing?

602
00:36:51,416 --> 00:36:54,125
Of course it is,
but it's the franchise possibilities,

603
00:36:54,208 --> 00:36:57,083
Prospero Rome, Prospero New York,
Prospero Dubai…

604
00:36:57,166 --> 00:37:01,416
Well, outside of naming
this, uh, establishment after yourself,

605
00:37:01,500 --> 00:37:03,541
what else makes it at all worthwhile?

606
00:37:03,625 --> 00:37:06,500
Well, this isn't a fucking
Dave & Buster's, Aunt Madeline,

607
00:37:06,583 --> 00:37:08,750
I'm talking Berghain. Limelight.

608
00:37:09,375 --> 00:37:13,208
Prospero's will be one of the most
exclusive nightclubs in the entire world.

609
00:37:13,291 --> 00:37:16,291
We'll turn movie stars
and monarchs away with attitude,

610
00:37:16,375 --> 00:37:19,666
we're going to make Studio 54
look like fucking <i>Romper Room.</i>

611
00:37:19,750 --> 00:37:23,791
And you're going to do this
by marking up bottles of Glenfiddich.

612
00:37:23,875 --> 00:37:26,125
I'm not selling Glenfiddich.
I'm-- I'm selling…

613
00:37:27,125 --> 00:37:29,041
hedonism, privilege.

614
00:37:29,750 --> 00:37:34,125
It's a dark room with killer music,
few rules, fewer consequences.

615
00:37:34,208 --> 00:37:36,791
It's where the movie starlet
everybody fucking worships

616
00:37:36,875 --> 00:37:40,875
is busy giving head to the real VIPs,
in the corner.

617
00:37:41,416 --> 00:37:43,958
Let me come to the office,
show you the numbers,

618
00:37:44,041 --> 00:37:45,416
franchise projections are good.

619
00:37:45,500 --> 00:37:48,541
- I'm thinking a tiered membership-
- Roderick, please, any time.

620
00:37:48,625 --> 00:37:51,333
Oh, tiered membership,
why didn't you say so? No.

621
00:37:51,416 --> 00:37:53,166
We won't set up a meeting at the office.

622
00:37:53,250 --> 00:37:55,625
Being an Usher
is about changing the fucking world.

623
00:37:55,708 --> 00:37:57,791
It's not a blow job whisky bar.

624
00:37:58,541 --> 00:38:01,541
Look at the numbers. I'll come
to the office on Monday and you can-

625
00:38:01,625 --> 00:38:03,541
Fuck's sake. That's all.

626
00:38:06,666 --> 00:38:07,500
[sighs]

627
00:38:14,791 --> 00:38:17,250
[door opens, closes]

628
00:38:18,375 --> 00:38:21,916
Well, I don't think he's the informant,
but got no clue about business.

629
00:38:22,458 --> 00:38:25,833
I know it's important to you
everybody gets that first loan, but-

630
00:38:25,916 --> 00:38:27,083
He's not making it easy.

631
00:38:27,166 --> 00:38:29,166
Let's get in there and watch their eyes.

632
00:38:29,250 --> 00:38:31,916
When the paperwork's passed out,
I'll be able to tell.

633
00:38:33,250 --> 00:38:35,000
What is going on with you?

634
00:38:35,583 --> 00:38:38,708
- Something is going on with you.
- All good.

635
00:38:40,625 --> 00:38:41,583
Right behind you.

636
00:38:47,416 --> 00:38:49,416
[footsteps receding]

637
00:38:51,333 --> 00:38:54,666
[door opens, closes]

638
00:39:02,125 --> 00:39:03,041
[sighs]

639
00:39:04,666 --> 00:39:08,000
[breathes deeply]

640
00:39:11,083 --> 00:39:12,000
For the road.

641
00:39:29,708 --> 00:39:30,833
[Morrie clears throat]

642
00:39:31,625 --> 00:39:36,208
I thought we could all benefit from this.
Um, Pharmaceutical Law.

643
00:39:36,291 --> 00:39:39,583
- Maybe something in here can help us.
- [Roderick] No, really?

644
00:39:39,666 --> 00:39:43,083
Arthur, dig into this book.
Find something for our defense.

645
00:39:43,166 --> 00:39:44,458
Oh, no.

646
00:39:44,541 --> 00:39:47,916
- Wait, it's… cake.
- [light applause]

647
00:39:51,875 --> 00:39:55,208
Well, I swear, if your TV show
had been about your cakes,

648
00:39:55,291 --> 00:39:56,625
it would have run 20 seasons.

649
00:39:56,708 --> 00:39:58,458
[Morrie chuckles] Care to wash it down?

650
00:39:59,083 --> 00:40:00,000
Coffee?

651
00:40:01,250 --> 00:40:02,625
- No way.
- Mmm.

652
00:40:02,708 --> 00:40:03,750
I bet it's cake.

653
00:40:05,041 --> 00:40:06,958
- [Morrie chuckles]
- [all applauding]

654
00:40:09,500 --> 00:40:12,666
Freddie, marrying this woman
might be the one thing you didn't fuck up.

655
00:40:13,250 --> 00:40:14,250
She's a genius.

656
00:40:14,916 --> 00:40:16,375
[chuckles] Well…

657
00:40:16,458 --> 00:40:20,000
We have that in common then, Dad.
We're both lucky men.

658
00:40:20,083 --> 00:40:22,541
Oh, for fuck's sake, Freddie.

659
00:40:22,625 --> 00:40:25,625
All right, while you all eat the law,

660
00:40:25,708 --> 00:40:28,958
Mr. Pym has some important paperwork
for each of you.

661
00:40:31,166 --> 00:40:34,000
[Camille] Paperwork from the Pym Reaper,
always a blast.

662
00:40:34,500 --> 00:40:37,041
Wait. Is this also cake?

663
00:40:37,125 --> 00:40:38,500
This is a robust,

664
00:40:38,583 --> 00:40:43,083
new non-disclosure agreement,
and it is consequential.

665
00:40:43,166 --> 00:40:45,750
[Camille] Forfeiture of inheritance?
Waiving of civil suits…

666
00:40:45,833 --> 00:40:49,125
We really should get together more often,
it's a balm for the soul.

667
00:40:49,208 --> 00:40:52,583
Consequence only applies if it's proven
you violated the agreements.

668
00:40:52,666 --> 00:40:55,291
So it seems to me
no one has anything to worry about.

669
00:40:55,375 --> 00:40:57,208
Unless they have something to worry about.

670
00:40:57,291 --> 00:40:59,916
[Madeline] Exactly.
And your father and I appreciate

671
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,750
this display of confidence,
loyalty and family. Now sign it.

672
00:41:03,833 --> 00:41:07,291
It's been a minute since I've gotten
to feel like a member of the family.

673
00:41:07,375 --> 00:41:11,083
Al, have you gotten to sign
an original Pym yet?

674
00:41:11,166 --> 00:41:13,583
It's a rite of passage.
Wait until you see the prenup.

675
00:41:13,666 --> 00:41:16,250
Yes, speaking of prenups,
how are things, Juno?

676
00:41:16,750 --> 00:41:17,750
It's going great.

677
00:41:17,833 --> 00:41:21,416
Yeah, I prefer not to sign anything
without my guy looking at it first.

678
00:41:25,125 --> 00:41:26,041
Or not.

679
00:41:26,125 --> 00:41:29,375
[Victorine] While we're on the subject
and, hate to point this out but,

680
00:41:29,458 --> 00:41:32,166
if there were ever
any one of us collecting,

681
00:41:32,250 --> 00:41:35,250
or even bartering a family secret,
we all know who that is.

682
00:41:35,333 --> 00:41:40,458
- Aw, fuck you very much, Victorine.
- No in-fighting. Jesus, have some dignity.

683
00:41:40,541 --> 00:41:42,000
You want to watch me sign it?

684
00:41:42,083 --> 00:41:44,500
- I'll sign it right now.
- How do you spell "Froderick"?

685
00:41:44,583 --> 00:41:47,500
[Madeline] Get the jokes out now
because this isn't funny.

686
00:41:47,583 --> 00:41:50,083
Fortunato is the reason you exist.

687
00:41:50,958 --> 00:41:52,916
The reason you have
your little knock-offs,

688
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:56,333
your heart implants, your debutante balls.

689
00:41:56,416 --> 00:41:58,333
Debutante balls?
Is that what you think I do?

690
00:41:58,416 --> 00:42:00,083
[Madeline] The company is the family,

691
00:42:00,166 --> 00:42:03,250
and we expect you
to defend it with your life.

692
00:42:03,333 --> 00:42:06,041
And if anyone, anyone comes after us,

693
00:42:06,125 --> 00:42:10,166
we will exhaust our arsenal
until the threat's neutralized.

694
00:42:10,250 --> 00:42:13,458
By neutralized,
do you mean sued into oblivion,

695
00:42:13,541 --> 00:42:17,500
taken out of the Board,
out of the will, on the streets…

696
00:42:17,583 --> 00:42:20,083
Neutralized. Like dead.

697
00:42:21,041 --> 00:42:25,041
Pym made this document particularly nasty,
I asked him to, but that's not the thing.

698
00:42:25,125 --> 00:42:26,958
When I find out who's been talking,

699
00:42:27,041 --> 00:42:29,750
to the goddamn government,
against your own blood,

700
00:42:29,833 --> 00:42:32,166
there won't be enough of you left to sue.

701
00:42:32,250 --> 00:42:36,791
I'll have to sue the bloody puddle of gore
in the designer shoes.

702
00:42:37,708 --> 00:42:40,250
- Make no mistake, we'll find out.
- $50 million.

703
00:42:42,166 --> 00:42:43,500
To whoever solves it.

704
00:42:43,583 --> 00:42:47,291
To the lucky Usher who figures out
who's talking to the Feds.

705
00:42:47,375 --> 00:42:51,000
Fifty million cash, no strings, no taxes.

706
00:42:51,083 --> 00:42:52,833
Did you just put a-

707
00:42:52,916 --> 00:42:54,791
Yes, I'm putting a bounty on you.

708
00:42:54,875 --> 00:42:58,750
You, the shit bag,
you the informant, you know who you are.

709
00:42:59,916 --> 00:43:01,458
It's 50 million. Sleep tight.

710
00:43:04,208 --> 00:43:05,208
The rest of you…

711
00:43:08,125 --> 00:43:09,125
happy hunting.

712
00:43:14,208 --> 00:43:16,333
<i>That was the last time
I saw them together.</i>

713
00:43:16,958 --> 00:43:19,333
<i>Some of them,
the last time I saw them alive.</i>

714
00:43:21,291 --> 00:43:23,041
If you're saying it was because of…

715
00:43:24,166 --> 00:43:25,166
Well…

716
00:43:25,916 --> 00:43:28,750
because of the informant thing
that all of this happened,

717
00:43:28,833 --> 00:43:33,000
if you're somehow implying
that I'm responsible, even indirectly…

718
00:43:33,083 --> 00:43:35,708
I'm not. I know who's responsible.

719
00:43:35,791 --> 00:43:39,125
You know who's responsible
for which death?

720
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:41,291
All of them.

721
00:43:42,916 --> 00:43:46,583
Forgive me, Roderick, but the deaths

722
00:43:47,458 --> 00:43:50,208
of your children have been examined,

723
00:43:50,291 --> 00:43:51,875
investigated pretty thoroughly

724
00:43:51,958 --> 00:43:55,000
and, as strange as they may be,
those deaths are unrelated.

725
00:43:55,083 --> 00:43:56,083
I am responsible.

726
00:43:57,666 --> 00:43:59,166
And more to the point,

727
00:44:00,041 --> 00:44:01,208
perhaps…

728
00:44:03,250 --> 00:44:04,250
there is a woman.

729
00:44:05,916 --> 00:44:07,333
[Madeline] <i>I know that face.</i>

730
00:44:07,958 --> 00:44:09,041
<i>You know her too.</i>

731
00:44:09,125 --> 00:44:10,625
A woman I have to tell you about.

You know my favorite holiday?

735
00:44:22,666 --> 00:44:25,125
New Year's Eve. You know why? Resolutions.

736
00:44:26,250 --> 00:44:27,791
People take that word for granted,

737
00:44:27,875 --> 00:44:30,375
they don't realize
just how heavy a word it is.

738
00:44:31,041 --> 00:44:32,041
Resolution.

739
00:44:33,041 --> 00:44:34,041
Resolve.

740
00:44:35,958 --> 00:44:41,000
Means being unwavering, determined,
a firm commitment to do something, or…

741
00:44:42,375 --> 00:44:43,458
not to do something.

742
00:44:44,208 --> 00:44:48,083
And most people
go their whole, wasted, stupid lives

743
00:44:48,166 --> 00:44:52,291
without one minute of true resolution.

744
00:44:55,166 --> 00:44:56,375
Not me though.

745
00:45:00,583 --> 00:45:01,583
Not me.

746
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:04,000
And not Madeline.

Guessing you're Jay Gatsby,
you're Daisy Buchanan.

- [Roderick grunts]
- Gin Rickeys then?

765
00:46:21,791 --> 00:46:23,041
Gatsby didn't drink.

766
00:46:23,125 --> 00:46:25,666
He stayed sharp and sober.
Watched everybody else drink.

767
00:46:25,750 --> 00:46:27,875
- Nothing for you then?
- We're drinking tonight.

768
00:46:27,958 --> 00:46:29,708
Both of us. Whisky. Neat.

769
00:46:31,875 --> 00:46:33,458
What made you ditch the other party?

All dressed up,
didn't wait for the ball to drop?

771
00:46:35,833 --> 00:46:37,458
- [Roderick] Hmm.
- A change of scenery.

772
00:46:38,125 --> 00:46:39,291
We work up the street.

773
00:46:39,375 --> 00:46:41,458
Haven't seen this place.
Did you just open?

774
00:46:42,208 --> 00:46:43,791
- Sort of.
- Thought it'd be more crowded.

775
00:46:43,875 --> 00:46:44,875
New Year's and all.

776
00:46:44,958 --> 00:46:47,625
It'll fill up later.
We're a midnight business.

- Tonight, anyway.
- [Roderick] Hmm.

You guys look like you've had
a wild night already.

Well, I'll drink one with you.

Don't tend to do that with customers,

Crowded enough for a few witnesses,
not so crowded that nobody notices.

794
00:47:46,583 --> 00:47:48,958
I'm just excited
that we get to kick Carter

795
00:47:49,041 --> 00:47:50,500
out of the White House this year.

796
00:47:52,041 --> 00:47:53,541
Think Reagan's going to run?

I think if he does, it'll be a landslide
and great for business.

Sorry, I should've told you no politics

00:50:07,083 --> 00:50:09,625
Sixth coffin I've put in the dirt.

841
00:50:13,333 --> 00:50:14,583
In less than two weeks.

842
00:50:15,666 --> 00:50:17,333
[preacher] "The boundaries which divide

843
00:50:17,416 --> 00:50:22,041
life from death
are at best shadowy and vague.

844
00:50:22,125 --> 00:50:27,500
Who shall say where the one ends
and where the other begins?

845
00:50:29,041 --> 00:50:31,500
We stand on the brink of a precipice."

846
00:50:32,750 --> 00:50:35,750
- Grampus. What is it?
- [preacher] "We peer into the abyss.

847
00:50:35,833 --> 00:50:37,250
We grow sick and dizzy."

848
00:50:37,333 --> 00:50:38,541
She's here.

849
00:50:39,583 --> 00:50:42,250
[preacher] "Our first impulse
is to shrink from the danger.

850
00:50:43,041 --> 00:50:45,375
Unaccountably, we remain.

851
00:50:46,166 --> 00:50:48,750
By slow degrees,
our sickness and dizziness

852
00:50:48,833 --> 00:50:53,375
and horror become merged in a cloud
of unnamable feeling.

853
00:50:54,041 --> 00:50:58,791
It is merely the idea
of what would be our sensations

854
00:50:58,875 --> 00:51:04,708
during the sweeping precipitancy
of a fall from such a height.

855
00:51:05,916 --> 00:51:09,958
And this fall, this rushing annihilation

856
00:51:10,041 --> 00:51:15,541
for the very reason that it involves
that one most ghastly and loathsome

857
00:51:15,625 --> 00:51:20,791
of all the most ghastly and loathsome
images of death and suffering,

858
00:51:20,875 --> 00:51:24,625
which have ever presented themselves
to our imagination,

859
00:51:24,708 --> 00:51:30,291
for this very cause do we now,
most vividly, desire it."

860
00:51:30,416 --> 00:51:32,375
[reporters clamoring]

861
00:51:32,458 --> 00:51:34,458
[camera shutters clicking]

862
00:51:36,958 --> 00:51:38,041
[reporter] Mr. Usher!

863
00:52:06,708 --> 00:52:08,875
[reporters clamoring]

864
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:12,291
[Madeline] Roderick, look at me.

865
00:52:12,375 --> 00:52:15,583
Arthur, send a bus,
but keep it off dispatch, no names.

866
00:52:15,666 --> 00:52:17,666
In fact, designate it off duty.

867
00:52:17,750 --> 00:52:22,166
Take him to Westminster under a pseudonym.
Lock down the wing, maybe the whole floor.

868
00:52:23,083 --> 00:52:27,708
Full security detail, and get Donaldson.
No other doctors. Only Donaldson.

869
00:52:27,791 --> 00:52:28,833
You got it.

870
00:52:31,416 --> 00:52:32,416
It's time.

871
00:52:36,125 --> 00:52:37,125
It's time.

872
00:52:43,125 --> 00:52:44,166
It's time.
