Where do you buy your suits, by the way, Tom? Like, maybe that's why I'm just not moving as fast as you. I just don't have that, like, boxy, corporate look. Right? I mean, sorry, but, like, what the fuck? You look like a Transformer. Like, wh-- what's wrong with your body, man?
Rome, come on. There's nothing wrong with his body, it's just fuckin' suits.
[Tom gives Shiv a "What the fuck?" expression]
What? Come on, we-- we've laughed about it before.
Yeah. He's thrifty, and he has the worst taste in suits.
Totally has terrible ta-- You look like a divorce attorney from the Twin Cities.
It's partly the walk. It's like a real...
[Roman and Tabitha laugh]
You know, I tried to get, uh, one of his suits tailored by the guy that dad uses.
But he looked just so like--
TWTom Wambsgan
Hey, Shiv? Fuck off.
LYLawrence Yee
Hey. Hey! Kendall, what the fuck are you doing? What the fuck is going on?
Yeah, sorry about the, uh, cloak and dagger. I just needed some time to untangle all your shit, find the profit centers, keep the union off our back. We're already fully operational on seven.
Because my dad told me to.
LYLawrence Yee
Because your dad told you to? Jesus Christ. Because your dad told you to? You-- you fucked it, bro.
Uh-huh. Go find some other chicken coop, cunt.
L-- Listen uh... so yeah-- c-- can I ask you something? On the-- on the front level?
Yeah. You worried about what you did in Cruises?
What we did? No... no. Uh... No, I was gonna ask you about this Sam guy, do you know him?
"Ratfucker Sam?" Yeah, sure. You know he background checked me before I started dating Shiv?
Wow. Yeah, so, what's his-- what-- what's h-- er-- is he... like what's his competency? Is he-- is he... nice?
"Is he nice?" You're asking about the moral character of a man named Ratfucker Sam? He is a fucking piece of fucking shit is what he is.
[finding out that Roman tried to betray him] Roman, did someone get at you?
Dad, I didn't betray you.
[holding Roman's phone] Then what's this call from today? Why are you talking to her? [Naomi Pierce]
[nervously] Come on, man. [to Logan] I wasn't trying to fuck the deal. I was trying to land the deal. I was trying to help. I... I thought it would be a nice surprise.
[short pause] Roman, you're a moron.
[pause]
[to Logan on Roman] Boar on the Floor, wouldn't you say?
[to Kendall] Fuck you. [to Logan] I am not a moron, dad.
[short pause] How much is a gallon of milk?
How much is a gallon of milk?
I don't know. I mean, who the fuck knows, dad? Literally no one knows. Who gives a shit?
How much is a gallon of milk?
RRay
Uh-- Uh, wh-- I mean, like regular milk, or, uh...
I am surrounded by snakes and fucking morons! You're a bunch of silk-stocking fucks! [pause] Who backs me on Pierce?! Hmm?! Who?!
None of them do, dad. They're all against it, okay? Karl's lying, Ray's lying, Gerri's playing both sides.
[pause] Well, [laughs] here's news: We are going after it. And what's more. [pointing to everyone in the dining room, in furious anger] I. Will. Win!
[Logan leaves the room]
Hey, Mark. Great to see you. Come on in. I caught the show this morning.
MRMark Ravenhead
Oh, great. Thanks. Uh, where's Cyd?
She's out on a thing, but she's-- she thought it would be great for us to check in, and I'm su-- I'm a big fan.
MRMark Ravenhead
Thank you. Thanks. Uh, so Karyn tells me, uh, you want the full colonoscopy, huh?
Oh, dude. No, no. We both know, I think, how dumb these things are. You know how it is. It's just due diligence with all the turbulence, and, can I just-- just need to check a few boxes.
MRMark Ravenhead
Sure, sure. Thank you for the show of faith.
No, no. No-- No problem. Okay, right. [inhales] Okay, so this is embarrassing, but, um, just for the record, and just so we have it, um... You are not, and have never been a member of the Nazi Party of the United States, have you?
MRMark Ravenhead
Come on, Tom. You serious?
[Tom gestures to the manila folder with an awkward expression]
Thank you. Sorry to have to even ask. Uh, bu-bu-bu-bu-bah... And-- Oh, yes, the Hitler dog thing?
MRMark Ravenhead
Okay, the dog thing's bullshit.
Great. Great. I thought so.
MRMark Ravenhead
Different spelling.
Okay. Different spelling?
Okay. Uh, and this other one that came up, just to fend this off, have you ever read Mein Kampf?
MRMark Ravenhead
Uh... Yeah, couple of times, I guess.
Couple times? Are there Easter eggs in there you didn't get the first time? [laughs]
MRMark Ravenhead
[laughs] Look, I'm-- I'm just-- I'm interested in that period of history, Tom. Okay? I skimmed it.
Skimmed. Yeah. Thank you. And, um-- And what, specifically, do you find interesting about that period of history?
MRMark Ravenhead
The scale. The tragedy.
Hell yeah. Yeah. Which tragedy, sp-- specifically?
MRMark Ravenhead
Europe decimated. [scoffs] Seven million Germans, twenty million Russians, five million Poles.
Yeah. Just-- Just checking the till here, Mark, and it seems you're short a few million.
Hey baby, how about this for the eulogy? "Lester touched all of us."
WFWilla Ferreyra
I don't think you should do your speech.
No one else is gonna get here. I have to. I said I would.
WFWilla Ferreyra
Baby, I think it could be really bad for your campaign. I mean, I was just talking to those guys over there.
WFWilla Ferreyra
The Wolf Pack?!
Yea, Dad's old crew, back in the day.
WFWilla Ferreyra
Oh, Jesus. Okay, some of the stuff they got up to with Mo, you do not wanna be associated with.
Sure, no. I know. Still, it's complicated. It was a different time.
WFWilla Ferreyra
But it wasn't a time before they invented laws, was it?
MPMichele Pantsil
Connor? Hi. Sorry to interrupt. I'm Michele Pantsil. I'm-- I'm working on a study.
MPMichele Pantsil
I-- I spoke to Lester a lot toward the end. He always spoke so fondly of you.
Oh, I see you a mile away, sister. What, do you wanna dig through my treasure chest for some precious memory gems?
MPMichele Pantsil
No, I don't want to make anyone do anything they don't want to do.
Hey, if you wanna print something in your little book, you may print the following line: "Connor Roy was interested in politics at a very young age." That's it.
You know, uh, Greg... I know that, um... it wasn't cool, you know. The bottles, the attack.
[sighs] No, it didn't feel great.
I don't always like who I am, Greg.
Yeah, I-- I get that. But don't you think it might be just the right time for me to make a move?
Seriously, Greg? You're smart, you're ambitious, you're loyal. Why would I let you go? Come on.
Okay, wait. I have a thing, but I-- I'm reluctant to say.
[sighs] I-- I just-- I have some leverage, but I'm reluctant to use it. You know, in case it sours things for us.
I just-- Um... Well, I'm not bringing this up as any form of threat, but... [sighs] So, you know when you had me destroy those documents at Cruises?
[indistinct chatter from passersby]
I kept a few... o-- of them. Just in case I got in trouble, and 'cause I was worried that maybe I was destroying evidence of criminality.
So, like, I don't know. Would it be... I don't wanna bring anything up to you in a way that feels, like, horrible, but would it be bad for me to, like, mention those to you now?
Are you asking if you can blackmail me?
No, I'm not-- I would-- I would hate that. I like you, it's just, you know, context.
Very well. I accept your blackmail.
No, I'm not blackmailing you Tom--
Greg... I'm gonna accelerate you. Okay? New title. Ton more money, nice new office. You're moving up, you can throw away the training bra. Seat at the big table. You like that?
[Greg smiles and nods]
You fucki-- Look at you. Where are they, those papers?
[laughs] You're a fuckin' slime ball!
[slaps Gregs arms] Attaboy!
And Roman, the safe place is the three R's, okay?
Regret. It happened a long time ago. Responsibility. Belongs to individuals and not corporations. Remedy. Super tough, super vague. The move is condemn and move on. Got it?
Right, and if you need to smash glass in case of emergency, it's enough of that and back to the session: "Family Ownership & Corporate Continuity in the Digital Age."
Whatever the fuck that means.
KGKatherine Gilliard
Senator Eavis, you have five minutes for questions.
Mr. Wambsgans, I hope I'm saying that correctly.
[Tom gives a thumbs-up and mouths a "Yeah"]
Just some background. Mr. Lester McClintock. You accept he offered jobs to young women who would sleep with him?
Uh... That does seem to be the case. Um... But the-- the company, uh, wasn't aware, and obviously, that was some time before my time, um... However, Bill... uh, Lockheart, my--
But within the upper echelons of the firm and the family, Lester was commonly known as "Mo," is that correct?
I... I don't... I don't... I-- I'm a relative n-- newcomer.
This email, you call Lester McClintock "Mo." Why?
I-- I guess I think it was just a nickname.
Mm-hm. You call him "Mo" over 30 times in emails to family and colleagues, but you never use it in the items of correspondence sent to him privately, for instance, during his illness. Why not?
You don't know? He was called Mo, but always behind his back.
Um... Uh... I'd-- I'd have to look at the, uh, emails, uh, I never thought about it.
Lester's nickname was Mo. Mo Lester. Molester. That never came up?
Senator, I think, uh... [chuckles] I guess maybe perhaps he was, uh, a little creepy-seeming perhaps.
Well, you were right there.
But just because we-- he was called, um, Mo Lester, doesn't-- didn't mean... It was just a-- [chuckles] It's just an off-color joke. You know?
That was 100 percent based on truth. But of all the many, many people who called this molester... "Mo Lester," not one of them had the slightest idea that he was actually a molester. I mean, you could see how that stretches out our credulity.
Yes, Senator, I can see that. I think he just seemed a bit like one, maybe. But we didn't know anything.
Well, if he seemed a little bit like one, don't you think it behooved the people in charge to find out if he was one...
...before you sent him out on ships full of young women and vulnerable old and young guests?
