♪ (DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING) ♪

NEWS ANCHOR: In terms of M&A action,

we're hearing that GoJo and Waystar

could seal their long-gestated
deal as soon as tomorrow.


Word is that regulatory
concerns have receded.


So Lukas Matsson may soon take control

of the deceased Logan Roy's empire

to add to his streaming, betting,

sports, and socials everything app

- to create that all-singing...
- KENDALL ROY: All right.

Okay, okay. Carpe the diem, people.

(CYRUS TELLIS TALKING INDISTINCTLY)

KENDALL: Hey, hey! Okay.

Telly! Let's run this, uh,
board presentation, shall we?

- Yeah, great. Thanks. (SIGHS)
- Good stuff.

- So, uh...
- KENDALL: What?

Just Stewy. That was his guy,

- and, um...
- Yeah?

Yeah, I don't think we got him.

Uh-huh.

Cool. Cool.

(INHALES DEEPLY) Really?

- Where is he?
- Um...

KENDALL: Get me him direct.
It might be smokescreen.

I think... Yeah, that'll be...
that'll be smokescreen.

I can pull in Stew.

- Ken, I...
- (SIGHS) Man.

I don't think we have the shareholders,

and I don't think we have the
board numbers to stop this.

I'll get the votes.

Uh, if we had more
time, but by tomorrow?

- I'll get the votes.
- Ken, we...

You wanna just, uh,
outline the path here?

Okay. I got f*cking me, I got Ewan,

I got Paul, I got Dewi. Locked.

- So, yeah?
- Mm-hmm. Okay, great. And?

And I still think I can get Stewy.

I think maybe Sonya.

Maybe Frank. There are
multiple, multiple routes.

Right now, you have
four, and one of them...

And is Roman even gonna
show? Is he gonna vote?

Don't worry about Roman.

- But just where does he stand?
- KENDALL: I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know.
I don't f*cking know. Okay?

I don't know.

Okay? Does that make you feel better?

- (SCOFFS)
- KENDALL: I don't know where he is.

I don't know where he
stands. But I got him. Okay?

I f*cking got this, Telly Bear.

♪ (THEME MUSIC PLAYING) ♪

♪ (THEME MUSIC CONCLUDES) ♪

Okay! I think they lost Stewy.

He's wonked. So that means we got...

(LAUGHS) ... Kendall in the trunk,

all trussed up and
ready to f*cking bake!

- Yeah?
- It's good.

Okay. 'Cause, you know,
we got me, obviously...

Here. Uh... me, Simon, Frank,

Sandy and Sandi, locked.
And then Stewy. I...

Look, he talks a lot of sh*t,
but I think he's gonna stay.

He's not gonna split.
'Cause money, honey, right?

So, then we got Diane Liu, Sonya.

And then we... we have it.

Then, if we peel off
Dewi, Paul, and Ewan,

then there's only, like... is that...

Ken and Rome in the against.

That's f*ckin'... And
Rome might not even show up

from whatever jerk dungeon
he's being pity-spanked in.

You happy?

- Very happy. Very... yeah.
- SHIV ROY: Uh-huh. Yeah. Good.

Success! Yeah.

Oh, and, uh, I'm checking in on Frank,

if you wanna still do
the old-school signing?

- Perfect.
- You know, um, me as new CEO?

Yes? Uh, and your list?
What's... what's on...

You wanna talk Tom?

Or I know you've been
thinking about ATN?

And just... just say out
loud. It's no big deal for me.

Well, we've, uh, we've had some

initial, like, um, vibe meets, um...

Yeah, I mean, he's
sh1tting himself. (LAUGHS)

Yeah. Well, the delta between a guy

and a x guy is...

is obviously life and death,

- and ATN is central. So...
- SHIV: Sure.

(SIGHS) Tom. Tom.

Yeah. I don't know.
Um... what do you think?

Okay. Well, he's very
competent, but if he irks you,

or it's complicated, it is okay.

- Yeah?
- Mm-hmm.

He is very plausible corporate matter,

but he's also just a highly
interchangeable modular part.

And I would say that to his face.

- Okay.
- Okay, but if we wanted continuity

because there's been a lot of changes...

You know, ATN is going gangbusters,

and he is well-liked.
So if he were to stay on,

that would also be okay with me.

- Okay, good to know.
- SHIV: Yeah.

This is separate feelings aside,

Tom will honestly suck the
biggest d*ck in the room.

- That's just my assessment.
- Love is in the air.

- SHIV: Mm-hmm. Yeah.
- (CELL PHONE BUZZING)

SHIV: Uh, sorry. Excuse me.

Uh, yeah. Just one sec. Hi!

CAROLINE COLLINGWOOD: (OVER
PHONE) Hello, darling.

Uh, is it... How...
How are things going?


Uh, yeah, I'm fine. Good. Good. Thanks.

CAROLINE: Great.

I just wanted to know if there
was any chance of you coming?

(SIGHS) Yeah. I mean...
Look, I would love to,

but I think, you know, f*ckin' schedules

- and... and board.
- CAROLINE: Yeah, I know, but...

Well, there's somebody here
I think you might want to see.

I promised I wouldn't say, but it's...

one of your brothers.
And it's not Kendall.

Oh. Okay. Well, let me cr*ck the code.

- CAROLINE: I just thought you'd like to know.
- Uh. Yeah, well...

Let me have a think. But let's...

Yeah, let's try and... Let's
try and make this work. Shall we?

Great.

That okay? That profile bullshit.

- LUKAS MATSSON: The cartoon?
- SHIV: Yeah.

I think it's funny.

- SHIV: Yeah?
- Like...

"Oh, look at me! Look at me!"

- Uh-huh. Yeah, 'cause I...
- (CHUCKLES) It's good. Yeah.

'Cause I can get the...
the journalist, you know,

- maybe take the online?
- LUKAS: No, no.

I don't give a f*ck.
People always try to f*ckin'...

- get at me, you know?
- SHIV: Okay.

- LUKAS: They can't.
- Uh, look, that was... that was, uh,

an associate of mine,

indicating they got a fix on Roman.

So why don't I just f*ckin'
go and nail Roman as well?

It would be so nice just to
get unanimity across the board.

You know, all of us
smiling in public, just...

just nice, clean start
for the start of our reign.

- All right.
- SHIV: Yeah? 'Cause, you know, corporate narrative.

If we're on separate sides,
it looks like Lady Macbeth Part Two.

And that's not... It would be...

It would, just in
an... It would be nice,

in an abundance of caution, just to...

- close nice.
- Yeah, yeah.

Great. All right. Call
me whenever, wherever.

- LUKAS: Yeah.
- I'm available. Okay? Yeah?

- Let's f*ckin' do this. Yeah?
- LUKAS: Go get him.

- (CELL PHONE RINGS)
- Hey, Shiv.

- What are you hearing?
- Uh, Rome's at my mom's.

So I'm on my way to bag him.
I'm looking for unanimity.

Okay. He's at your mom's?

And have you spoken to Lukas?

Um, am I for the chop?

(SIGHS) Yeah, I mean, I'm trying.

TOM WAMBSGANS: Okay. I'm just...
I'm... I got a bad feeling.


We've... we've booked
me in for the third hang.

It's excruciating.
I'm just... I'm scared

he's gonna want to play online games,

and I'll be running into
a wall for hours. You know?

Tom. Hey, Tom, can we
have a real conversation?

- Uh-huh.
- SHIV: Okay. So, on the Matsson stuff,

I'll do what I can. I'm
trying. But, uh, with us,

I just... I wanted to
get a few things straight.

Yeah. I just... Yeah. I just
want it to be really nice.

And we should... we should,
uh, Czechoslovakia it. You know?

We should make it all lovely
velvet, parting of the ways.

So, for you, there's...
there's not anything left?

Well, how do you mean?

Uh, well, I... I wondered if...

You know, I guess I thought
it might be worth raising.

Are there any, uh, positives

about the nightmare we've shared?

As in?

I guess if... if there
was anything there.

Uh... If there was, then
it would be so convenient.

Yeah, well, it would
be incredibly convenient

because you would be
married to your husband.

(CHUCKLING) Yeah, exactly.

And then when you think
of the scheduling, it's...

it's mess free.

Yeah. You've fallen in love finally.

You've, uh, you've fallen in love

with our scheduling opportunities.

Uh-huh.

And I would also, you
know, I would love to...

not to have, uh...

You don't like to fail
a test, do you, Siobhan?

Well...

Uh, look.

I know that we've said the worst things.

But I...

I think I've always just been scared

in relationships of, uh...

you know, like...

the underneaths.

You know, what's the worst thing
a person thinks? But we know.

But... once you've said
and done the worst things,


you're kind of free.

Yeah, I guess... I
guess my question is...

are you interested in
a real relationship?

Honest to God, I don't know... Shiv.

I just... I, uh...

I just don't know.

Okay. Sure. Right. Bye.

KENDALL: Stewy. Stewy,
bro. Don't hide from me.

I can see you from up here.

Come with me, Stew.
We can win this. Okay?

(NEWS REPORTER SPEAKING ON TV)

- Ken.
- KENDALL: Yeah?

Roman.

- From Greg and Ratfucker Sam.
- Okay.

- Okay, now we're talking.
- Yeah.

(WHISTLES SOFTLY)

(PHONE RINGING)

- CAROLINE: Hello, darling.
- Hey, Mom.

So, I hear Romey might be there.

Listen, I'm sorry I couldn't
make your get-together,

but I need to speak
to Roman very urgently.

No recriminations.
But it's life-or-death.

- Is he there?
- (CHUCKLES) Um...

(STAMMERS) I... I can't say.

Oh, you can't say? Well,
he needs to come back.

Is he planning to
come back for tomorrow?

That's for you to decide,
all of you. I... I...

He... he's very fragile.

Uh-huh.

And... and is Shiv there? Is she coming?

I don't want to get into a
lot of business, all right?

I want... I'd love for the
whole family to be here.

But if it's going to be thumbscrews,

I'd rather it didn't happen in my house.

Okay, I'm coming. I'm
coming. I'll be there, Mom.

- We have him. We have him. New Jess, New Jess.
- HUGO BAKER: All right. Great.

I'm... I'm flying out.
Uh, I'll be back tonight,

early tomorrow latest, small team.

It's good that you're here, I guess.

You can rest and recuperate.

CAROLINE: Looks a lot
better than he did.

I couldn't look at him
when he first arrived.

Oh, that's true. Peter did my eye drops.

(CHUCKLING) Yeah. Bless him, though.

There's something about
eyes. They just kind of, ugh,

- revolt me.

Like... like human eyes we all have?

Yeah, I don't like to think
of all these blobs of jelly

There's a huge board meeting.

"Huge board meeting!"

Hey. "The colors go

"The colors go well together."

- "The colors go well."
- Yeah, that's okay.

- "The colors just go well."
- Greg, you're here for the hang.

Early bird catches the Rome?

Well, you know. Yeah.

Just a...

couple of things you
might be interested in.

- I got Stewy back.
- SHIV: Oh, yeah?

Sure. Well, you know,

even if he's telling the truth,
and you managed to get Roman,

seven still plays six, so
I'm... I'm not sweating it.

Oh, yeah. Also...

according to my sources,

Matsson is talking to Lawrence Yee.

- Vaulter Lawrence.
- Mm-hmm. Yeah.

KENDALL: So... you knew that?

Yeah. (SNIFFS)

Oh, hey. Look at this
f*cking scorpion party.

- SHIV: Hi.
- All right, who wants a piece of me?

Pay a buck, take a pop
at the human f*cking vote.

Why don't I just cut my arms off?

I can give one to each
of you to take home with,

and then maybe you'll f*ck off.

KENDALL: You want some rum punch?

Uh, hey. I was, uh...
So, I was thinking,

and this is just a spitball,

but when this goes
through, for you guys,

remember how hot you
were for The Hundred?

You know, could I...

- relinquish my part of the IP and...
- Oh, right. That is very thoughtful. Wow.

So you'll, like, get
us a job at the mall?

Like, teach us the value of real money?

Rome, come on. I'm like...

I'm trying to be realistic about, um,

- finding nice shapes here, for when I'm in there.
- KENDALL: Hmm. That's nice.

SHIV: Well, it is nice.

You know, actually, I would love
for both of you to support me

- taking over the firm.
- Uh-huh.

SHIV: What?

Oh, oh. Because I'm moving forward,

my kid loses access to its uncles, yeah?

- Well that's... Okay. Manipulative.
- No, come on.

I mean, what's it gonna do
without all the... the sexist and

h*m* jokes?

Don't f*cking try and play us, Shiv.

Like, stop f*cking gloating.

You've got your hands
on my throat, yeah?

So don't be all f*cking Joan of Waystar.

All right, well, I don't know
what to say. 'Cause you...

You know, you f*cking grabbed
the crown, the two of you.

Dad d*ed, and you f*cking...

You grabbed the crown and pushed me out.

So I don't know why I'm the c**t here?

c**t is as c**t does.

(CHUCKLING) Oh, amazing.

Wow, Cicero on the...
on the wheels of steel.

And f*ck off. Okay? I won.

And I'm sorry for winning. But I did.

Sorry. I'm sorry. And you know what?

I'm actually tired of
saying f*cking sorry.

I played it better,

so why don't you take it
like a man and just eat it?

My, what a lovely
evening on the terrace.

(WAVES CRASHING)

TOM: How was your seabass?

Those, uh, those cod cheeks
were a worthy opponent.

Hmm. No, it was... it was fine.

Sometimes, I feel like
every fish in the city

is the same piece of
Xeroxed branzino. You know?

Totally, totally. Yeah, I think
we may have been badly advised.

- I think Greg f*cked it. Yeah.
- WAITER: Fini, messieurs?

Merci beaucoup. (CHUCKLES)

Man.

How do you feel about,
uh, soft pitching me?

- On Tom.
- Oh.

Just, you know, the main slide.

On me? As in my value
to keep me? Sure. Yeah.

Yeah. I can sing for
my supper. (CHUCKLES)

Uh, well, no. Um. So,
yeah, as a manager,

I think, you know, I'm... I'm simple.

You know, I squeeze the
costs and juice the revenue.

Follow the boss.

You know, I, uh, digest
strategy and implement.

Like, for, you know,
cruises, for example,

is sh*t-gobbling and firefighting.

- Num, num, num, num.
- TOM: Yes. (CHUCKLES) And ATN is money.

You know, I'm cutting heads
and harvesting eyeballs.

It's pretty...

Yeah, pretty simple really.
I give the customer what he wants.

I don't think it's my place
to offer dietary advice.

You know, if they want red
meat and boiling tar, then...

- buon appetito. Right?
- (LUKAS CHUCKLES)

And on a hang level, who
would you say you are?

Who am I? Um...

Huh. That's a good one. (LAUGHS)

I'm a grinder. I grind 'cause I worry.

I worry all night about everything.

All the, uh, threats to...
to me and to my, um...

(CLEARS THROAT) ... my division
and my physical body. And I...

I, uh, I have an excess of vigilance,

I think, and I have a
very, very high tolerance

for pain and physical discomfort.

Can I... can I be frank with you?

- Can... can you be discreet?
- f*ck yeah.

(CLEARS THROAT) So, the thing is, um,

with Shiv, uh...

And with the votes coming up and all,

can we keep this, like,
close to our chests

- until I know my numbers?
- Oh, sure.

I think it's all fine.
It's just I... (SIGHS)

I have this thing with...
with her, um, which is like...

Like is it... is it a
bit too much? You know?

- Okay. The cartoon?
- No. f*ck the cart...

That was funny. I enjoyed that. No.

She was kind of pushy
on the India tactics.

And at first, I thought

family continuity would be an upside.

- You know? But...
- TOM: Mm-hmm.

She... she is... She is smart. But...

I got plenty of ideas, okay?

I don't know if I need more ideas.

I was in need a little bit
of the political connection,

you know, but it turns
out it's f*cking easy.

(CHUCKLING) It really is,
you know? And with Ebba,

and blah, blah, blah. It's...

- I know everything. Okay?
- You do.

I think you... I mean, you do, man.

- LUKAS: I do.
- Yeah. (CHUCKLES)

Yeah. Plus, with Shiv, there's also...

You know, um...

She...

- (CHUCKLES) She's somewhat...
- (TOM CHUCKLES)

Um...

We're a bit clickety-clickety,
if you know what I'm saying.

- Right. Like...
- A little bit...

I wanna f*ck her, um, a... a little bit.

And I think, under...

Sorry to get weird, but, like,
the right circumstances...

she... I think she'd f*ck me, too.

Uh-huh.

Is this making you uncomfortable?

- I'm sorry if it's weird, or...
- No, no. We're men.

Yeah, I can't deal with
the mess of that, you know?

So then I was thinking,
"Well, if I can have

f*cking anyone in the world..."

(CHUCKLES) "... why don't I get the guy

who put the baby inside her
instead of the baby lady?"

Yeah?

- LUKAS: Just...
- Right.

Right. Well... I could do it.

- LUKAS: 'Cause...
- I could definitely, easily,

- definitely do it.
- LUKAS: I need an American

'cause I don't wanna scare the horses.

ATN being the... the profit center.

Mencken likes you,

if that happens, you know? You, um...

You're f*cking talented. So, uh...

would say, off the record.


Thanks, Telly. Thank you.

Okay, we might be in touch
on some moves here, man.

TELLIS: Sounds good, Ken.

(BREATHES DEEPLY)

I think there's a few ways through this.

Call Laird. Call
anyone. Honestly, anyone.

Anyone would say we
have to go into battle

with our own version of
the future. With a king.

- SHIV: Uh...
- Oh, and pray tell.

Do you have one in mind?

- Matsson's a f*cking prick.
- ROMAN: Mm-hmm.

Right? He practically k*lled Dad,

dragging him over. He's
capricious. He's cold.

He doesn't understand the business.

- He's a prick.
- I would like to k*ll him.

And if we're gonna k*ll
him, we need to get real.

And we would need...

I think it would be me. Right?

Well...

Dad said that it would be me.

When?

Well, we were getting
close again, before,

and you know this, mostly,

and I was texting, and he was warm,

and he said when I was
with him late one night

that it should be...

- KENDALL: Hmm.
- Persuasive.

What else did he say
when no one was around?

That he was the Zodiac
k*ller? That he did Tupac?

Whatever. It's f*cking...
I said it. It's true. And yeah.

f*ck it. Do whatever you want with that.

It's just the f*cking truth.

Well, he offered it to me too, Rome.

Oh, yeah?

He... he... he f*ckin'
promised it to me.

Promised. When I was
seven. He sat me down

at the Candy Kitchen in Bridgehampton,

and he f*cking promised it to me.

Seven years old.

- Like, can you imagine?
- Yeah.

Pics or it didn't happen.

That was... messed up. Like,
he shouldn't have done that.

No. He shouldn't have said that.

I'm simply saying he
said a lot of things,

and he said them to me first.

Yeah, and he said it to me last.

Do you even want it?

Because...

At the funeral, yeah? Like...
You... you're not that guy.

- You're not...
- ROMAN: What?

KENDALL: You couldn't do the rounds.

- I mean, you kinda...
- Well, what?

- KENDALL: ... shrank into yourself, and that...
- Why?

- ... that...
- What? 'Cause I, like, f*cking...

I cried a little at my father's funeral?

That means I'm totally f*cked forever?

That doesn't seem right.

KENDALL: It absolutely does
not make you a bad person.

Like, maybe it makes you a good person

that you weren't snaking at the funeral.

Like, maybe... maybe
you're well-adjusted,

and I'm a business psycho.
I don't know, man. It...

Like, it's... it's
a f*cking horrible job

that clearly kills you.

So I'm just...

Honestly, I'm just trying
to guide us through the years

- to some truth here, man.
- Great, yeah. Cheesy.

- I'm serious.
- Yeah, serious

f*ckin' cheeseball is what you are.

He just can't say it.

He doesn't want it, but he can't say it.

And me?

I love you, Shiv. I f*cking love you.

But we simply cannot walk in there

and say we're blocking his offer,

and we have this compelling vision,

and say that leading it
is you, when yesterday,

you were singing his
song. We simply can't.

And we can't say it's Roman

because he lacks heft, and
he... he looks pathetic,

and he might flop.

So...

Obviously, I want it to be me.

But I genuinely think anyone would say,

anyone, objectively, would say,

LA, my profile, experience, position,

desire, public pronouncements.

It's me.

If we want to hold on
to this company for us,

for my kids, for yours...

it's me.

- Hey, Rome!
- ROMAN: Yeah?

Guess who Kendall thinks it should be?

It's gonna blow your f*ckin' mind!

- ROMAN: Okay.
- KENDALL: We can find a cool structure.

Right? Like fiefdoms. Kingdoms.

If we pull off a reverse Viking,
guys? Like, it's f*cking huge.

Shiv, seriously. Take
ATN, take all of news,

save the world. Rome, uh, social media,

f*ck it all up again. It'll be fun.

(GROANS)

(WAVES CRASHING)

We're not actually going
in, right? 'Cause you know...

There's no bad sharks in Bim, baby.

- Well, they can commute.

didn't know this, are connected.

Come on. Let's do it. Come on.

Uh...

- ROMAN: Did he...
- Yeah.

ROMAN: Okay.

Can you, uh, give us a minute?

ROMAN: Thank you.

So?

We could f*ck it. Get out.

Sell to Matsson, let...

Lawrence or...

some other business
school dry-cleaner...

- SHIV: Mm-hmm.
- ... sit in the throne.

Shut up shop and give away the keys.

It can't be him, though.

But it really can't be you.

Well, okay. I hate him, but I fear you.

He would be unbearable,
and you would be...

a disaster.

He'd be...

It will be terrible. It will. But...

I don't know, I can sort
of, unfortunately, see it.

- Whereas you?
- Matsson took me seriously.

ROMAN: Or he played
you like a big fiddle.

Like a pregnant cello.

Sorry.

(GRUNTS)

Who do you think Dad
actually wanted to give it to?

Uh, I don't think Dad gave
a f*ck about anything more

than putting one foot
in front of the other.

Yeah, I don't think he wanted
to give it to any of us.

- SHIV: Yeah.
- ROMAN: I don't know.

We could give it to him.

Yeah, we probably should.

- Unless...
- ROMAN: Unless?

Unless we k*ll him.

- Okay. k*ll him?
- SHIV: Yeah.

I like that. That's
intriguing. How would we do it?

Well, just a bit of
horseplay gone wrong.

Just a biff to the head

- What goes around comes around?

Yeah. And if we k*ll him, we
get to go to bed. I'm tired.

But he'd be so annoying
if it went wrong.

The murdering. Like...

"Did you just try to
m*rder me? Dude, that is...

so not actually what you're meant to do,

and it is not a good thing to do."

would like to take them as read.

We have a revised offer to
consider from the GoJo board,

and a lot of work has been

where we're ready to
sign if the board agrees.

As you also, of course, are aware,

we will be hearing from our co-CEOs

and heard from our advisors

on the GoJo proposal
in the previous session.

So now, I'd like to hand
