[WINDOW SLIDES OPEN]

WEIR: Thank you for seeing me, Father.

[SIGHS]

I need help.

And I don't have anyone to talk to, and I need to talk.

If I just go over things in my mind, I

I I get lost and I

PRIEST: We all get a little lost.

Jesus, I don't mean like that, I mean lost.

Like I literally can't tell the difference between what's real and what's not.

Somehow, talking out loud helps.

I haven't slept for a few days.

Probably not making any sense, I just

[SIGHS]

This time, there may have been too many possibilities, too many motivations. I

[SIGHS DEEPLY]

I had a friend that he used to help me get through times like this.

- But he d*ed.

- I'm very sorry.

Is there anyone else you're close to?

[SCOFFS SOFTLY]

In my line of work,

it's best not to get close to anyone.

PRIEST: That sounds lonely.

Look, I didn't come here

for some kind of counsel or salvation

or Hail Marys or whatever

it is you do here.

I just need someone to listen.

Do you think you can do that, Father?

Do you think you can listen to me

and keep it between us?

PRIEST: Just us and God.

God.

Right.

Well, maybe he can tell me

what the f*ck is going on.

MAN: The only way to make real money

is to take big positions and move fast.

Hey, is that Strapstetter, from the Fed?

MAN: Yes, it is.

But that's not Mrs. Strapstetter.

- No. [LAUGHS]

Jacob, right?

Would you mind changing

the channel for me?

- Yes, sir, Mr

- Yes, sir, Mr. Weir.

- Thank you.

[SPECTATORS CHEERING]

[ANNOUNCER SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY]

[GROANS] Damn it.

MAN: Hey, change the f*cking channel.

CNNBC, Fox Business,

Bloomberg, something.

Change the f*cking channel.

JACOB: I'm sorry, Mr. Merril.

Mr. Weir's watching the game.

It's f*cking soccer, dude.

Spoiler, it's going to be 0-0

for the next four f*cking hours.

Change the f*cking channel.

Hey, it's my team, pal.

Yeah? I'll, uh, I'll give

you five grand, how's that?

You know what? Keep

it. Knock yourself out.

Jacob, it's fine, change the channel.

Yes, sir, Mr. Weir.

Nate, it set off a flurry

of panic on the floor,

as word got out of studies

confirming high cancer rates

leading erectile dysfunction drug

Close on Esper and lock it.

MERRIL: I'm not asking

REPORTER: I will be

Wow. He really doesn't like soccer.

Yeah.

But he makes up for it with charm.

Hailey.

John.

[BOTH CHUCKLING]

Maybe the funniest thing

I've seen in five years.

- Right, like, all three.

- [LAUGHING]

[HAILEY LAUGHS]

Where you been hiding, Hailey?

I haven't seen you around here before.

That's because I

haven't been here before,

- John.

- Ah.

How about you?

Oh, I come here all the time.

Can't get enough

of the bloody cow carcass,

wall-street-bro vibe.

[CHUCKLES]

- [SIGHS]

- No, I'm kidding.

It's my first time, too.

So, what brought you into

this fine establishment?

I'm in from Pittsburgh

for some meetings.

Had some time to k*ll,

figured I'd have some wine,

you know

troll the dating apps for a little fun.

You know, make the most of things.

[CHUCKLES]

And then I look up and I see

you.

- And, well

- Here we are.

So it seems.

My hotel's across the street.

Well, that's convenient.

I hope you have a good night's sleep.

Oh, wait a second.

I see what you're saying.

Okay, just this once. Bartender!

Could you please bring me the bill

[JOHN SIGHS]

[RATTLING]

What are you doing?

You're going to have to tell Madi

if she wants to get leverage over me

she's going to have to work

a little harder. [CHUCKLING]

HAILEY: Huh?

- What the f*ck?

- Besides, the job's over.

The money's already been transferred.

Bingo.

Is that a camera?

What the f*ck is going on here?

Blackmail will not work.

And if Madi was as smart

as she thinks she is,

she'd know that my

marriage was over years ago.

Whoa, look, I I don't

have any g*dd*mn idea

- what you are talking about.

- Look.

You know, I get it, it's

her business. I'm cool.

What what's our business?

Look, I was just looking to get laid.

I'm I'm not into any weird

fantasy voyeur cosplay sh*t

or whatever the hell

this whole thing is.

Wow, you are terrific.

You need to leave.

I've done the Krav Maga workout.

I could break your neck if I needed to,

- do you understand?

- I do.

And I am leaving.

Hailey, it has been a

pleasure meeting you.

And I hope you have a wonderful day.

What the hell is happening?

Hey, assh*le!

If you really thought

I was blackmailing you,

why'd you sleep with me?

You're kidding, right?

[LAUGHS]

[GRUNTS]

[DOOR CLOSES]



[SIGHS]

How long have you been following me?

Morning, Weir. Got a minute?

Agent Jo Madi. Always a pleasure.

- I need a word.

- Sure.

[SINGING INAUDIBLY]

That your new partner?

- She joining us?

- Okay.

Don't start with me, Weir.

My daughter got herself

kicked out of school

and now I'm stuck with her

until my wife can figure out

someplace else to put her.

Hey, thanks for the present.

- [DOOR OPENS]

- Uh

You know, you should

have just planted dr*gs.

A video of me having sex

with a beautiful woman

will just get me a date at my age.

- What?

- By the way,

the tail that you put on me?

- Mall-cop-level bad.

- Mm. Okay.

You're paranoid and it's

actually worse than usual.

- So

- [SIGHS] Occupational hazard.

So, how are you and the fine folks

down at the FBI Financial

Crimes Unit doing today?

Well, we are extremely

busy, thanks to you.

What's that supposed to mean?

Barry Merril, the very

pissed-off hedge fund manager

over at BlackTerra, called me

after the bell this morning.

Seems he got wind of a rumor

of Esper-Ethika's

stock tanking in Tokyo,

and he sold off his entire stake.

MERRIL: Our whole position.

- [ELEVATOR DINGS]

- Wow. That sounds rough.

He get out okay?

Mm, there was no sell-off in Tokyo.

In fact, he was the first one to sell.

And in the rush, the stock cratered

and KOT Capital was there

to scoop it up at a discount.

Are you accusing me of something, Jo?

KOT Capital is your client.

I don't talk about my clients.

Are you accusing me of something?

Merril said he saw a woman

talking to Strapstetter

from the Fed last night.

I'm sorry to intrude,

but I hate to see such

an important man

MADI: A few minutes later,

she sits down at the table

next to his and starts telling her date

about the tip she got

from her "good friend,"

Alan Strapstetter.

Esper-Ethika's boner

medication causes cancer.

A report's about to come out.

A few minutes later, he gets

a text from his intel people.

It says, "It's an

emergency. Turn on the news."

- So he does.

- Change the f*cking channel.

But there was no report.

And there was no

broadcast about it, either,

according to the networks.

WEIR: Jacob, right?

Do you mind changing the channel for me?

- Yes, sir, Mr

- Weir.

Yes, sir, Mr. Weir.

MADI: Not a real one, at least.

It's sent Esper-Ethika's

stock into freefall.

Close on Esper and lock it.

Our whole position.

MADI: But either way, it prompted him

to sell and t*nk the price,

so your client could make a buck.

- [ELEVATOR DINGS]

- Well

that's a fascinating story.

But I'm sorry, I have no earthly idea

- what you are talking about.

- [SIGHS IN EXASPERATION]

Good morning, everyone.

- Morning, boss.

- Late night, Cara?

I'm not complaining.

WEIR: Conference room in five minutes.

Corporate espionage is

a dirty way to get rich.

Espionage? What are you talking about?

- I'm not a spy.

- Uh, manipulating people

and situations to influence markets

for client advantage is what, then?

Consulting. Which is not illegal.

- [SCOFFS]

- And, hey, you and I both know,

whatever these assholes

lose on Wall Street,

they make right back.

So forgive me my lack of shame.

Who's Tom?

- I don't know. Who's Tom?

- Oh.

You're surprised that I heard about him.

Yeah, it sounds like a big job.

Listen, I got ears all over this town.

Again, no idea what

you're talking about.

You'll have to excuse me.

I'm very busy doing

anything other than this.

[MADI SCOFFS]

Hello. Can I get you a

cup of coffee or something?

- Shut the f*ck up.

- Okay.

- [ALL LAUGHING]

- Guess that's my jam.

LARTER: Hey, boss.

What if Madi talks to the bartender?

WEIR: I told the bartender

I had a video of him

stealing from the till.

As long as he kept his

mouth shut and played along,

- I wouldn't show anyone.

- [ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]

LARTER: But how'd you know that?

I didn't. But don't

all bartenders do that?

[LAUGHTER]

Great job, everybody.

Only here for the food, boss.

- Oh. Then it's on me.

- CARA: Wait, what?

Did you just offer to pay for something?

LARTER: I think he did.

CARA: The same guy who makes me pay

for booze at business meals.

Hey, that's a standard

industry practice.

Says the guy who installed

the coin-operated coffee machine.

Okay, listen up, children.

A little overhead is the key to success,

and besides, the creamer is free.

You give homeless people

change and ask for a receipt.

WEIR [LAUGHING]: That's not true.

But I probably would if I could.

LARTER: Eh, we're just busting balls.

Do whatever you want

with your giant piles of money.

But, you know, thank you for this.

Until the next one.

Tom's coming up.

To Tom.

- To Tom!

- Who's Tom?

You're gonna love him.

[SIGHS] Yep.

It's good you came.

I got a meeting with Valence tomorrow.

About time.

You think I should talk to him?

Just no. [CHUCKLES]

Not while he's with his friends.

He really hated you that much?

I mean, the kid's 14.

He hates everything.

But, you know, he blames

me for most of it, so

don't take it personally.

That's just the job.

Hopefully, not forever.

multiple protests

around the country

- [PILLS RATTLING]

- as the Shared Data Act

meets resistance on Capitol Hill.

But the sponsor of the bill,

Senator Nora Everson of New Jersey,

maintains that sharing private user data

with the government would

make for a safer America.

Privacy advocates are against the bill,

- saying there's too much power

- [EXHALES]

in the hands of private

government facility contractors

with little oversight.

Only a handful of senators

are willing to go on the record

with their support at this time,

from any platform and project,

VALANCE: Turns out it was a Saudi prince

who got a little too jacked up on blow,

and put a b*llet right

between the horse's eyes.

- [CHORTLING]

- And then he texted

a picture of it to his wife.

God knows why.

Ultimately, there was

nothing to be done about it.

Untouchable, hmm?

Yeah, but we still got paid.

We always got paid.

Whether we deserved it or not.

[ALL CHUCKLING]

I'm sorry, I have to ask:

Is it true that you hit

Bob Tanaka at Softbank?

I mean, your name is

mentioned sometimes.

You really expect him

to answer that, Xander?

"No comment," John.

Just say, "No comment."

All I'll say is that I

like making rich assholes

pay me to make other

rich assholes lose money.

- [ALL CHUCKLING]

- Amen to that.

Though, I will say that

Tanaka is just the sort of guy

that John loves to take down.

God, it's so good to see

you. It's been too long, huh?

Yeah, it has.

But

[CHUCKLING]: I can see that

you're doing pretty well without me.

[CHUCKLES] It's true,

partner. It's true.

I mean, government contracts,

ad agencies, they just

they pay a whole lot better

than grinding out an edge

on trades like we used to do.

[HISSES] You got out when

the stayin' was good, John.

[WEIR CHUCKLES]

You know, last year

we out-billed Palantir?

Wow.

- That's incredible.

- VALENCE: Right?

If you had any idea how much the NYPD

is paying us to process all

of their data? I mean, it's

I mean, I know, I know.

It's not about the money

with you. I know that.

Never mind.

Let me show you what we're up to.

Great.

VALENCE: Data drives everything.

It's the biggest commodity there is

in private intelligence.

I mean, big players in every industry,

not just the financial guys,

they are drowning in data.

And that's where we come in.

We just sort of make sense of it all.

Of course, you saw this coming

long before anyone else did.

You should be here

working with me right now.

WEIR: Thanks, but no thanks.

I like my little pond.

VALENCE: All right. With the right data,

we can predict things that

even you would not believe.

Like Amazon?

Hmm? They can correlate

someone's shopping history

and they will know exactly

what that person's going

to buy next and when.

WEIR: Cool.

VALENCE: You think

you're shopping for socks,

but they know who you're

voting for and why.

Have a seat.

WEIR: Is this real?

Seventh century.

BCE, of course.

[SOFTLY]: Wow.

So where do you go these days

to get a 2,800-year-old

Gilgamesh tablet?

VALENCE: [CHUCKLES] That's a secret.

But it doesn't come cheap.

Why? You want one?

'Cause I got a guy.

[CHUCKLES]

Why am I here, Miles?

I need you.

It's a simple job.

Old-school, flesh-and-blood gig,

the way you like it.

You got a full team here in-house.

- Why me?

- Listen.

My guys are good with ones and zeroes,

but they're not what

you'd call "hands-on."

And I haven't got my

hands dirty in years.

I'm just a suit now.

I'm sticking to my pond, too.

I'd rather farm it

out, have it done right.

- I also know I can trust you.

- WEIR: Hmm, careful now.

You're the one who taught

me not to trust anybody.

Fair enough.

The simple fact is that

the client, who will remain nameless,

would like an added layer

of distance from this one.

And he's willing to pay extra.

How dirty?

Nothing you haven't done before.

Hear the pitch?

Yeah, let's do it.

Good.

Here's all the intel.



[SIREN WHOOPS]

[SOFTLY]: Come on.

Uh, shift change.

Maybe get an Uber instead.

- [WEIR CHUCKLES]

- Oh, right, you can't.

Because you only have burner phones,

no credit cards.

Yeah, that's not suspicious at all.

Well, slap me silly and

call me old-fashioned.

- I guess I just prefer cash.

- [CHUCKLES]

Hey, where's Agent Eilish?

- Uh, therapy. Thank God.

- [CHUCKLES]

Look, I know you think

that you're Robin Hood, but you're not.

And messing with Valence

isn't worth the risk.

Wow. Jo.

Way to look out.

Those guys that you got following me?

Tell them I'm heading back to the office

if they want to get a good parking space

before I get there.

Hey, that paranoia,

it's gonna trip you up one day, Weir.

Have a good afternoon,

Special Agent Madi.

[SIGHS WEARILY]

This'll be a simple op.

I want to do a variation

on the Odd Couple job

that we did on Benchmark

a few years ago.

Do we have time for another job?

We've got Tom coming up.

WEIR: Tom can wait. We're

gonna do this one first.

Can we send the, uh,

task monkey for some Thai?

Please don't call me that.

Okay, Kyle. Sorry, Kyle.

I'm just hungry, Kyle.

Okay, stop picking on the intern.

Pay attention. You're gonna be graded.

Okay. Luxbrant is a huge player

in the luxury brand market.

They own a ton of high-end labels,

everything from clothing to furniture.

Recently, there have been rumors,

loud rumors, that they

have been using child labor,

which triggered an investigation

into their finances by

the Treasury Department.

Now, Luxbrant claims

that the allegations

and the investigation

have been engineered

by one of their competitors,

the Banomar Group,

in an effort to t*nk their stocks

so the Banomar Group can swoop in

and pick them up on the cheap.

That just simply is not true.

But Luxbrant needs it to be true

in order to make this

investigation go away.

So pretty simple,

right? All we need to do is

suggest that the Banomar Group

and the Treasury Department investigator

are somehow in bed together.

Nothing tawdry,

just a few photographs

to feed the narrative

and squash the investigation.

For that, we get three percent of

the buy price to split with Arda.

And what's the ballpark on that?

I'll give you some perspective.

A few years ago, Michael Kors

bought Versace for $2 billion.

This will be like buying ten Versaces.

- Do the math.

- [WHISTLES]

Who needs to be seen with who?

This is Dana Heinrich.

She is the CEO of the Banomar Group,

and this is Edward Homm,

the Treasury Department investigator.

They do not know each other.

They have never met before

and most likely never would.

It's our job to make sure that

they do and get it on camera.

Mr. Homm has been visiting

from Washington D.C.

He spends most of his time

shuttling back and forth

between the Treasury Department offices

and the Kettering Hotel in Midtown.

Ms. Heinrich, meanwhile,

on the West Side,

leaves Westchester at 7:00 a.m.,

takes the West Side

Highway to her office

at 2 Broadway near Bowling Green.

He's on the East Side,

she's on the West Side,

they don't know each other, and somehow,

we have to make it look

like they are colluding.

Any ideas?

Easy. Photoshop.

Hmm, nah. They'll use cell

phone pings to deny that.

It's a trick question. He already knows.

You already know, don't you?

Well, given the background

information package

provided to me by Arda Analytics,

I think I have some

exploitable facts on these two.

She prides herself on her

punctuality and hates dogs.

He is a consummate gentleman,

and has his driver pick him

up at exactly 8:15 on the dot,

every morning without fail.

And?

That's it, that's all we

need. Pretty cut and dry.

It is?

WEIR: Yup.

So

who's got a valid class

A driver's license?

I didn't say to take Broadway.

to go round the block.

Around the block or

I'll slap a boot on you.

Where are you going? I need to go south.

HAFIZ: Ah, good idea! I take 5th.

Okay, this is it.

- So, who is she?

Or a very well-cultivated no one.

works for a non-profit there.

The Homeless Aid Network.

They have offices here, too.

- Income?

she does have expensive taste,

which doesn't quite

line up with her job.

Mm, sexist much?

Could be family money.
