... to prevent the certification
of election results


until all absentee ballots are tallied.

Meanwhile, Jimenez supporters
are making their voices heard


at a number of demonstrations
around the country,


including outside the
Manhattan offices of ATN,


who first called the
election for Jeryd Mencken.


- (ROMAN ROY HUMMING)
- Crowds of angry protestors


continue to make their way
towards ATN's headquarters.


And with reports of a number
of instances of street v*olence


and intimidation, the
NYPD is urging the public,


- for their own safety...
- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

DELTA PIKE: ... to only join officially

arranged and marshalled protests...

My father, Logan Roy, was a great man,

in the true sense of the word.

Born the middle child of three,

he was sent away during
the Second World w*r

to bing, bang, bong.

Sad, sad, sad.

I look good. I look good.
I am the man. I am the man.

As you can see, here I am.
Talking loudly about my father.

And don't I, perhaps, remind
you of him just a little?

A little dry.

Chicago Daily, ' .
Launches The Correspondent.

"A passion for human communication."

I am King Dong. I am the King of Dong.

Bow down to me.

(IN BRITISH ACCENT) I
selected the president.

Do you see his pecker in my pocket?

(IN NORMAL VOICE) Uh,
end of the first marriage,

it's very sad, saddy, saddy, sad.

Look out. See Shivy cry, see Kenny lie.

See Roman the Showman light up the sky!

Last days. New adventures.
Was he, maybe,

tiny nice voice, losing it a little?

Who knows? But a great man.

His demise was carried, written in fire.

Pulsed electric, in a
flash, over seven continents,

into newspapers that he
started, networks he launched

through fiber he laid,
satellites we built.

A great man indeed. A great, great man.

Father, with your permission?

Applause all around.
Come on! Let it rip!

(CLAPS)

- We love you.
- (CELL PHONE VIBRATES)

Something, something,
something, something, something.

- What's up?
- KENDALL ROY: Rome. Hey, man. Uh, you okay?

Yeah. I'm okay. I'm good.
I'm actually, like...

Honestly, I'm excited.

- (CAR HORNS BLARING)
- ROMAN: Does that make me a sick f*ck?

Mencken wins, he blocks the deal.

It's, you know, it's exciting times.

Interesting times!

Do you think, you know, for
business, for everything,

can we maybe get Jeryd to
turn the volume down a little?

Oh, come on. Don't be a p*ssy, dude.

What, you don't like
these f*cking ratings?

It's discord, man.
Discord makes my d*ck hard.

- (GIGGLES)
- KENDALL: Sure. Just...

I mean, it is the funeral.

ROMAN: Oh, he'd f*cking
love it. Are you kidding me?


KENDALL: You know,
I don't know. Just a little...


Queasy Gonzales?

ROMAN: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We're all busy. Okay.

Well, see you at, uh, Shivsky's, right?

(CELL PHONE PINGS)

Okay. Hey, Rome, uh,
I'll... I'll see you there.

- Okay.
- ROMAN: Roll deep.

- Hey.
- RAVA ROY: Hey. Hey, Ken, um...

Listen, I... I just want to
say that I am concerned, okay?


Everybody's saying
that there's gonna be


major disturbances
today, and... Thank you.

- KENDALL: No, yeah. Rav, it's... it's rumors.
- (SCOFFS)

Okay. I'm with Fikret. Uh,
I'm gonna go with the sibs,

- but he'll pick you guys up, and then...
- RAVA: Okay. Yeah, no, Ken.

Listen. I think we may, uh...

I think we're gonna head upstate today,

- and I'm... I'm really sorry...
- What?

RAVA: ... but that is... (SIGHS)
That is my decision. Okay?

Um, we're gonna go to
Travis and Robert's...


What are you even talking about?

Ken, it... it just... It
does not feel safe today.

Okay? This is just what we need to do.

- All right?
- Where are you now?

Are you... are you on the
road? Have you left yet?

RAVA: No, we haven't left. But we're...

Fikret, I want to be at
Rava's in three minutes.

Okay? I'll figure out
fines and violations.

Just get us there now.

LUKAS MATSSON: (OVER PHONE)
What a sh*t show, huh?

- SHIV ROY: Uh-huh. Yeah.
- LUKAS: Are you watching?

Yeah. I reckon you should
get your bad numbers out,

because it's just become an
amazing day to bury bad news.

- Yeah?
- LUKAS: Mm, I don't know.

(JERYD MENCKEN TALKING ON TV)

Like, if you have a little dicky,

maybe you don't go to the nudist beach?

- SHIV: Lukas.
- Yeah?

A tsunami just came and
washed everything away.

No one is checking the dicks.
Just... Seriously, I know this.

- Do it. Get 'em out.
- LUKAS: (CHUCKLES) You're so forceful.

Yeah.

Well, how do we get around Mencken?

'Cause this... This is real, right?

That he's blocking the
deal over regulatory?

SHIV: Well, I don't...
I still don't see it.


You know, he's...

He's out of tune with some...

some deep sentiments in this country.

LUKAS: Yeah, well, you've been
a democracy for like years, so...


What? No. I mean... Well, okay.

LUKAS: Oh, not unless you
don't count Black people?


Which is kind of a bad habit, so you...

Okay, yes, but it's a little
more complicated than that.

LUKAS: I'm just... I'm just saying.

You... you are nearly as
mature a democracy as Botswana.

So I should reach out. How...
how did that go by the way?


SHIV: I still think
cleanest is just activate.

Can you talk to your buddies
and... and get the algo,

you know, pushing that straight dope?

- Mm-hmm.
- SHIV: Yeah?

Okay, well, I gotta go.

But he's gonna be there today. Yeah?

So get Ebba to bury those numbers.

It's just so golden.

- What are you doing?
- Okay, okay.

- What do you think you're doing?
- Ken. Ken.

- Ken, what are you doing?

We are just getting out of town.

- Okay? Yes.
- You're getting... Well, that's hysterical bullshit.

- Ken...
- Okay? You're not bringing the kids

to their grandfather's
funeral? Are you insane?

I don't consider it safe.

You're... you're...
you're too online, okay?

- (RAVA SIGHS)
- You've lost context.

Everything is fine.

Nothing is fine. You
said things would be okay.

You said that Daniel would win.

- Our daughter is not fine. Nothing is fine.
- No, you can't go. You can't go.

- Ken, stop it.
- Get out of my way. Do not f*ck with me today!

- Ken.
- Do not f*ck with me today!

You need to stop.

You need to calm down. Ken...

- Hey, guys? Soph? Open up.
- Ken. Ken. It's okay.

Ken, you've gotta stop this.

You've gotta stop.
I do not consider it safe. Okay?

That's bullshit. Pretext.
You're trying to hurt me.

It's my f*cking father's funeral.

I'm really sorry, okay?
But we are gonna go.

And there will be a memorial,

- and we will go to that. I'm sorry.
- He didn't want a memorial.

I'm gonna go to court to
get an emergency court order

- to stop you leaving the city.
- (SCOFFS)

- That's what I'm gonna do.
- Okay. Go do that. Okay?

KENDALL: I'm gonna block your car.

I'm gonna lie in front
of your f*cking car.

'Kay? You're gonna have to
run me over if you wanna go.

What are you gonna do?

TOM WAMBSGANS: Who... So,
who gave them the timeline?

Well, a lot of people know.
A lot of people don't wanna go

- to the Hague for w*r crimes.
- Ooh! Look at you.

Well, there's not much of me. You know?

- There's a great, big graphic of Darwin.
- GREG HIRSCH: Mm-hmm.

But they can... This diminishes my role.

I'm tarred with the Mencken brush,

so I may as well get my goodies, right?

There's no point joining the party

- unless you get your little dacha.
- GREG: Mm-hmm.

TOM: I said two minutes.

I did say two minutes. Thank you.

(GREG BLOWING AIR)

- TOM: What?
- No. No. I just...

The funeral, right? I mean...

I... feel the need for closure.

I would like to grieve.

- I would like to...
- TOM: Well, I do... I do, too.

I do, too. I'm a wheelman.

I'm a casket wheelman. I'm front right.

- f*ck off. Go on.
- GREG: Thank you.

Save me a place, though. A good place.

- Uh-huh.
- TOM: Okay? Second row.

And tell the Mencken team
that I made the call. Okay?

Tell Mencken that I swung it for him.

And you may as well walk,

a gathering, or like a...
like a march or something

that's gathering from the park,

- SHIV: Hey.

JESS JORDAN: So, yeah, I
think from uptown it's easier,

but there's just, like,
a lot of confusion, so...

Glasses. That's smart.

You can cry in secret,
hide all your emotions,

and thus emerge victorious
as the winner of the funeral.

- JESS: Yeah.

Um, early next week...

Custody. I... I want custody.

Ken, this is a big day.
I don't wanna do this today.

Yeah, well... well,

- all kinds of things.
- Don't...

So, come on. What?

Well, uh, you have always been

- so supportive of me and...
- Yeah.

and I really appreciate that.

So I'm sure that you can understand

that it might be a good
time for me to move on

to another position.

Okay? Wow. Okay.

Fine. Fine. Of course.
Of course you can.

Great. Um, yeah, and we can
chat more about it when we...

KENDALL: Can I ask why?

Um... Yeah, it just...

feels like time. You know?

Is this about Mencken?

Well, I've been thinking
about it for a while. So...

- Fine. Fine.
- I'm sorry.

Yeah.

I just have to say, like, where, like...

It's kinda... It's kinda
ridiculous, Jess, though?

I mean, if you feel sorry about it,

maybe you should reconsider.

I just think that it's time.

I'm sorry, but I've given
you extraordinary access.

Where else are you gonna get that?

Nowhere. I'm telling you,
you're gonna get that nowhere.

You have no idea how
things will turn out,

It's just... just so you know.

Weather could've been a
lot worse for this, huh?

Okay, well, this is... I
thought that we were gonna...

Roman was doing the eulogy, Con.

But we said we could
consider if we wanted to.

Yeah. Sure.

But this is long, and
it's hard to follow.

Right. Well, it's formally inventive.

That's one of the things
that we like most about it.

- Mm-hmm.
- Okay. Well, I think

this eulogy's gonna leave
us open to legal action.

All right, so who have you hit?

- Who have I hit?
- Yeah.

Okay. Well, just... You know.

Because I think it's great
that Mencken's a r*cist

and he won't let a dirty
foreigner buy the company,

but I still think we need to
get the board and brass rallying

around the old orphans
here. Don't you think?

- Sure. Yeah. Sure, dude.
- Okay.

Ooh! Marcia's looking chic. Yummy.

She's a sexy funeral lady.

If you're weirded out by that, wait till

I have sex with her on Dad's coffin.

(BREATHES DEEPLY) So f*cking weird.

Eulogy is good, right? He did good?

Yeah. He's on top of the world.

Glad-handing the sad faces.

Oh, man. So many f*cking
moneychangers in the temple.

There he is. Frank.
Uh... Just wanted to say,

I know we've, uh, had
our battles and such,

but this really puts it
in perspective, don't it?

Sure. Life is short. We
should all love one another.

- (SCOFFS) Right.
- Go on.

Nothing. Just, uh...

Just an observation.

Mencken is going to block the deal.

And if Ken has lost his
stomach for the fight,

which I really hope he hasn't,

there's gonna be one cherry on the cake.

Well, I'll be, you know...

- rounding up a posse.

So, can you get me an intro?

- To Mencken?
- Yeah.

Can you... I mean,
I'm... I'm one of the...

I was one of... I'm amongst
the crowning committee.

- So...
- Right. Okay. Uh, yeah, maybe. Later.

Um, you're on Ewan watch,
okay? He wanted to speak,

but, um, unfortunately,
there was no time.

So if he starts, like,
unfurling a banner,

or, you know, singing union songs,

or whatever, you have license to...

who have d*ed in Christ,

he will rise with him on the last day.

Please be seated for a word

from those who knew
and loved Logan best.

- Greg. Greg, Greg.

- Hey, Gramps. Hey.
- Greg, Greg, Greg, Greg, Greg.

- Greg, Greg, Greg.
- GREG: Hey!

- What are you doing, Grandpa?
- MARIANNE HIRSCH: Dad!

- EWAN ROY: What?
- GREG: Don't do it.

- You're making a scene.
- I'm not making a scene, Greg. You are.

Hi. Uh, I think maybe
you're not, uh, on for today?

EWAN: Thank you. I'm going to speak.

GREG: Gramps? Can... can...

- f*ck.
- The f*ck, Greg?

What do you want me to do?

- Want me to take his legs out?
- Thanks.

EWAN: Good morning.

(INDISTINCT MURMURS)

- MARIANNE: It's okay. Just sit down.
- GREG: Shut up.

It's not your fault.
Don't tell me to shut up.

What sort of people would
stop a brother speaking

for the sake of a share price?

- (EWAN CLEARS THROAT)
- (WHISPERS) I'm sorry.

It is not for me to judge my brother.

History will tell that story.

I can just give you a couple of

instances about him.

You probably all know

we came across, the first
time, during the w*r,

for our safety.

But the engines of our ship let go...

and the rest of the convoy
sailed on without us,

leaving us adrift.

They told us...

They told us children...

that if we spoke,

or coughed, or moved an
inch, that the U-boats

would catch the vibrations
through the hull,

and we would die in the
drink, right there in the hold.

Three nights and two
days, we stayed quiet.

A four-year-old and a
five-and-a-half-year-old

speaking with our eyes.

So...

there's a little sob
story. (CLEARS THROAT)

And, uh, once we were
over, our uncle, who was...

so to speak, "a character,"

he, um... Well, they...
they had a little money,

and they sent Logan
away to a better school,

and he hated it.
(CHUCKLES) He just hated it.

He wasn't, uh... He
wasn't well. He was sick.

And he mewed, and he
cried, and in the end,

he got out and came
home under his own steam.

But when he got back, our little sister,

she was a baby, but
she was there by then...

She, uh...

He always believed

that he brought home the polio with him,

which took her.

I don't even know if that's true.

But our aunt and uncle

certainly did nothing to
disabuse him of that notion.

They let it lie with him.

I...

loved him, I suppose.

And I suppose some of you did too,

in whatever way he would let us

and we could manage. (SNIFFLES)

But I can't help but say...

he has wrought the most terrible things.

- Okay?
- (INDISTINCT MURMURING)

EWAN: He was a man who has,

here and there, drawn in
the edges of the world.

Now and then, darkened
the skies a little,

closed men's hearts.

Fed that dark flame in men,

the hard, mean, hard, relenting flame

that keeps their hearths
warm while another grows cold,

their grain stashed
while another goes hungry.

And even has the temerity
to tell that hard...

(CHUCKLES) ... funny, yes, funny,

but hard joke about the man in the cold.

You can get a little high,

a little mighty, when you're warm.

Oh, yes, he... he gave away
a few million of his billions,

but he was not a generous man.

He was mean,

and he made but a mean
estimation of the world.

And he fed a certain
kind of meagerness in men.

Perhaps he had to,

because he had a meagerness about him...

and maybe I do about me, too.

I don't know.

I try.

I try.

I don't know when...

but some time, he decided
not to try anymore.

And it was a terrible shame.

Godspeed, my brother.

And God bless.

KENDALL: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You okay?

Hmm. Mm-hmm.

KENDALL: You're gonna...
You're gonna say the other side,

my... my sister's and
my brothers', but, um...

(INHALES SHARPLY)

(SNIFFLES)

Yeah, I... I don't know...

how much I know.

But... I knew my father.

You know, I've said it. I've said it.

And it is true, what I
said, what my uncle said.

Yeah, my father was, um...

a brute.

He was. He was tough.

But, also, he built...

and he acted.

And there are many people out there

who will always tell you no.

And there are a thousand reasons,

I mean, there always are

a thousand reasons not to... to not act.

But he was never one of those.

He had a, uh...

You know, he had a vitality, a force...

that could hurt...

and it did.

But my God, the sheer, the... the...

(SIGHS)

I mean, look at it. The
lives, and the livings,

and the things that he made.

- And the money. (CHUCKLES)
- (SCATTERED LAUGHTER)

KENDALL: Yeah, the money.

The lifeblood, the
oxygen of this... this...

this wonderful civilization
that we have built from the mud.

The money, the
corpuscles of life gushing

around this nation, this world,

filling men and women all
around with... with desire.

Quickening the ambition to own,
and make, and trade, and profit,

and build and improve.

I mean, great geysers of life he willed.

Of buildings he made stand.

Of ships, steel hulls.

Amusements, newspapers,
shows, and films, and life.

Bloody, complicated life.

He made life happen.

He made me and my three siblings.

Sorry. (CLEARS THROAT)

And, uh, and yes, he had
a terrible force to him.

And a fierce ambition that
could push you to the side.

But... But it was only
that... that human thing.

The will to be, and
to be seen, and to do.

And now people might
want to tend and prune

the memory of him to
denigrate that force.

That magnificent, awful force of him,

but my God, I hope it's in me.

Because if we can't match his vim,

then God knows the future
will be sluggish and gray.

And there wasn't a room,

from the grandest state room
where his advice was sought

to the lowest house
where his news played,

where he couldn't walk
and wasn't comfortable.

He was comfortable with this world.

And he knew it.

He knew it and he liked it.

And I say amen to that.

(GUESTS APPLAUD)

That was great. There's a bit of...

- at the office.
- Yeah. Okay.

I'm gonna...

- Sorry about that. Sorry.
- It's okay, buddy.

- I just...
- It's okay.

- That was good. That was good.
- Thank you.

SHIV: Uh... (CLEARS THROAT) So...

Uh, the... the way
things have gone today,

we haven't had a chance
to... And it's okay, Rome,

and thank you, Ken. That was...

Yeah, but we haven't said everything,
and so I'm just gonna...

We'll be done soon. Sorry. (CHUCKLES)

(GUESTS MURMUR)

Uh. (SIGHS) My father.

My father...

We... we used to play
outside his office.

(SNIFFLES) And I... I think
because we wanted him to hear.

And, uh, he would come out,

and he was so terrifying. (LAUGHS)

Oh. He was...

Oh, God, he was so terrifying to us.

He'd come out and he'd...
he'd yell at us to be quiet.

You know, this... this, "Silence!"

(LAUGHS) What he was doing
in there was so important.

We couldn't conceive
of... of what it was.

You know, presidents,
and kings, and queens,

and diplomats, and prime ministers,

and... world bankers.

And I don't know. Yeah. He, um...

He kept us outside.

But he kept everyone outside.

When he let you in...

when the sun shone...

it was warm.

Yeah. It was really...
It was warm in the light.

But it was... hard to be his daughter.

I can't not... You
know, he was... It was...

Oh, he... he was hard on women.

You know, he couldn't... he couldn't fit

a whole woman in his head.

But he did okay.

You did okay, Dad.

Uh, we're all here and we're doing okay.

We're doing okay.

So, goodbye...

my dear, dear world of a father.

how important it is for me

- about this.
- I guess... No, no, the thing was,

whatever our frictions,

there was an ideological
sympathy with your dad.

Uh... My dad had deep ocean
currents swirling in his gut,

but I think on specifics,

he was about money, winning, and gossip.

LUKAS: Well, and in terms of, um,

like across GoJo, and GoJo socials,

and all the kind of
communication environment,

whatever, um...

we're in this place where

we are making the
thing that everyone has,

but nobody knows how it works, okay?

And there's, um, a very
small number of people

that are thought leaders in that space.

And so, I just think that maybe
you might wanna hear our take,

you know?

It... it's also kind of
f*cking fun. (CHUCKLES)

of tiny men in your pocket,

Well, you know. (CLEARS

So yeah, muck about, but
it'll be out of my hands.

Uh... national interest and domestic...

LUKAS: Of course. Can...
Can I... Can I just say that,

like, the stuff that I'm interested in,

there's no need for me to
be, like, deep inside it

on a day-to-day basis.

You know?

So, um, for example, um...

Just spitballing here,
maybe an American CEO?

Would that help make things feel
a bit more culturally aligned?

- Perhaps?
- Oh, what?
