(ELEVATOR CHIMES)

Could Logan just get five?

Welcome. How's your dad?

Oh, pretty good.

He hopes to make it
in person to the next one.

- Oh, sure. Send him my best.
- I will.

But still, you're here, and that's nice.

Thanks. I feel the same way.

Great. We're all over
the f*cking moon. What is this?

Yeah, so, we are in discussions
to acquire GoJo.

- SANDI FURNESS: Oh! (CHUCKLES)
- Okay.

- How advanced?
- Oh, not that advanced.

Just getting to outline terms.

STEWY HOSSEINI:
So pretty f*cking advanced!

Well, we didn't wanna bother you
until we have some protein.

GERRI KELLMAN: But we didn't wanna
ambush you in the boardroom.

We wanted to let you know in here.

But you are still ambushing us.

LOGAN ROY: No, no, no.
We are not ambushing.

STEWY: Well, no, I mean,

if you jump out on someone on the road

in the middle of the night,
hit them on the head and shout,

"I'm not ambushing you",
it's still a f*cking ambush.

I love my business. (INHALES DEEPLY)

But we've had our throats slit
on ads for years.

We're bleeding out.

Another five of cord-cutting

and we'll be dead on the f*cking carpet.

This is a transformative deal.

Yeah, but, uh, just obviously...
this is not okay.

We were supposed to be
inside deal-making.

Well, you know, we're moving very fast,

and it's all very sensitive,

- but I assure...
- I think they're assembling.

LOGAN: Right. Shall we?

Okay. How... How will you feel
if Matsson starts

micro-dosing and tweeting
about angels again?

(SIGHS) Matsson's a visionary.

Sure? 'Cause he's trippin' balls.

No, and he has a team
we can do business with.

This is bigger than anything
you've ever contemplated.

It will reshape the company entirely.

Well, if you guys really,
really don't like it...

(CLICKS TONGUE) Sure. k*ll it.

Well, we didn't say that.

LOGAN: So, shall we? Finally! (CHUCKLES)

Wh... Where is Shiv on this?
Why isn't Shiv here?

Oh, because this is just inner circle.

That's a joke, I'm kidding.

I think the president will be
joining us, so...

(CELL PHONE RINGS)

(SIGHS)

- Yeah?
- TOM WAMBSGANS: Hey.

So, I think they're gonna eat it.

Sandi is processing, Stewy loves it,

Roman led. No Karl, no Frank.

Um... Sandi wants your take,

Gerri's trying to fill your boots,

but I don't think Sandi's buying it,

and I'm just following them
now to the boardroom.

Are you in the car?

No. I'm gonna call in.

Well, that works.
Is everything okay, honey?

SHIV ROY: Yeah, I just...

I'm feeling the way
I was feeling still, so...

What about your mom's wedding?

I'm not feeling great,

so there's nothing really to say.

Right. Right.

Well, maybe you don't even
really need to go.

(CHUCKLES) To Mom's wedding?

Oh yeah!

f*ck that, I'd never hear the end of it.

Can you imagine?

So, the board members
not physically available

will be joining by phone,

including Siobhan Roy,
who sends her apologies.

She's working on strategy.

- And Kendall Roy...
- SHIV: Hey.

Hey. And Kendall Roy who's not
attending due to illness.

- And we're gonna lead off...
- KENDALL ROY: That's not actually true.

And we're gonna lead off with an update

on the promising developments
in the ongoing investigation

from which portion of the meeting

Kendall and Logan Roy are recused.

Hence...

And then we'll move on
to discuss acquisitions.

Is he gonna watch?

I feel like I'm taking a sh*t
in the Guggenheim, y'all.

Could we make a note in the
minutes that he's watching us?

♪ (DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS) ♪

Hey, I know you.

Didn't you used to be Siobhan Roy?

You sounded dumb at the board meeting.

At least, I showed up.
What were you doing?

Brunching with some other sock
puppet girl-boss presidents?

You haven't got a date?
Did no one on Raya

wanna come to Italy and
sit on your Ricotta d*ck?

So, just to say, I had, uh,
Peter Onions rat-f*cked.

Oh, what a lovely wedding present!

The guy's a f*cking slime badger.

Um... Three bankruptcies,
two marriages, four children,

and five shell companies.

He's a big investor
in shitty nursing homes,

tipping applesauce down their gullets

and telling them
they had a four-course dinner.

- All the hits.
- ROMAN ROY: Yup.

So, I've asked Mom
if we can talk to her,

and I think we should do it together.

Do what?

"Do what?" Uh... Like,

ask her if she should be
doing this, you know?

It's like, five months since
Rory was supposed to move in.

SHIV: (SCOFFS) Whatever.

Or we can at least... (CHUCKLES)

...check that she's getting a prenup.

You know, there's a lot of sh*t
in there from the divorce,

the holding company and everything.

And the guy is clearly
on the make, so, yeah?

f*ck it.

(SCOFFS)

Ser... f*ck it?

SHIV: (INHALES DEEPLY) Yeah.

Hm. She's probably
in sexual thrall to him.

- ROMAN: Hm.
- He's driving her wild with his sugar d*ck.

- ROMAN: Nice.
- So there's nothing that we can do.

Uh-huh. All right, fine.

Let him k*ll her for her emeralds and...

screw us out of the
f*cking firm. See if I care.

- TOM: Hey, Rome! About the deal!
- Oh.

TOM: I was talking to Karl and Frank.

Yeah, no, but you're not really
a part of that, either of you.

SHIV: Well, I am.

Well, I can't quite fire you yet, Shiv,

because I'm still
a little bit scared of you.

But my thinking is, when I take over,

I'm gonna put you
in the office next to mine,

and you're gonna be my sexy secretary.

SHIV: The f*ck is wrong with you?

ROMAN: I dunno. We're working on it.

Ongoing process.

GREETER: Welcome. Follow me.

Oh! Uh... Just a minute. (CHUCKLES)

- Hello!
- KENDALL: Hey, Mom.

CAROLINE COLLINGWOOD:
Hello, welcome all!

(CHUCKLES) Goodness me!

Did you just come back from the front?

Yeah. Just felt like it.

- Hmm!
- I'm stripping down.

(CHUCKLES) It's nice.

Hello, darlings! How are you?

How lovely to see you! (CHUCKLES)

Don't you look lovely!

So, um, you're all going to be
taken up to the house.

- (SPEAKS IN ITALIAN)
- (SPEAKS IN ITALIAN)

I'll be there in a minute, guys.

(SIGHS)

CAROLINE: You look rather tired.

KENDALL: Thanks. You wanted a word?

Right. Yes. Um...

So, listen. What I wanted to ask you...

You'll see when you go up to the house

that Peter has printed out

this awful sort of itinerary of events.

You know, all the welcoming
and then the rehearsals,

and the ceremonies, and...

- Mm.
- (INHALES DEEPLY) And, um,

I wondered if we couldn't
slightly divvy them up?

- As in?
- As in...

your father would rather not,
as I understand it,

be together with you, uh,
as far as possible.

And so, what... what...

what is your son getting?

And what is your ex-husband,
who you hate, getting?

Oh. Please don't get on your high horse.

It's not me, I don't mind. It's...

Bridezilla.

He's got his heart set

on having all the important people

at his wedding. (CHUCKLES)
He's such a little tart.

Well, I don't know if that works.

CAROLINE: Please, have a think.

You know, I'll still see you tons.

Yeah?

Peter!

Come and say hello to Kendall!

- CAROLINE: (CHUCKLES)
- PETER MUNION: Ah!

Kendall, like the mint cake.

- Yeah. Pleased to meet you.
- PETER: Absolutely.

Okay. Mom, I'll check the schedule, uh,

maybe see you next month.

- Come on, don't be so dramatic.
- Nice to meet you.

It's gonna be about four hours, Kendall.

Hello.

Hello. I am Gerri Kellman.

- Viola. Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.

This is very nice.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

What a place!

Italy! Pizza, pasta, and popes!
(CHUCKLES)

You ever met the pope, Con?

- Yeah, uh-huh.
- (CELL PHONE CHIMES)

I met one.

Couple of popes back, with Dad.

- He was a real full-fat pope.
- WILLA: (CHUCKLES)

Complete pope.

Very religious.

WILLA: I guess he really
drank the Kool-Aid, huh?

Wow.

It's pretty.

CONNOR ROY: (SIGHS)

Everything okay, Con?

Yup. Yeah.

Just, uh...

the guy from Politico, uh,
asking regarding his piece.

Your full name and, like,
your employment history,

- and whatnot.
- Oh, right.

- You think he's digging?
- Might be friendly.

But, you know,

probably not. What do you think?

Yeah, it's probably friendly.

'Cause journalists are
so f*cking friendly

in my experience. (CHUCKLES)

(WILLA GROANS)

- (KNOCKING CONTINUES)
- Okay.

ROMAN: Hey!

- Going to the welcome drinks?
- GERRI: (SIGHS)

Sure. Uh... Let me just, um,
check on Laurie, and then

you and I can put our heads
together on the GoJo price.

- Mm. Okay.
- GERRI: It's ticking up, but nothing scary.

Laurie, Laurie, Laurie.

You just will not stop
going on about him.

I think you're obsessed,
and frankly, it's disgusting.

Um... Laurie, we're gonna walk down.

- Can you catch up?
- Yeah. Okay.

GERRI: Okay, cool.

- (DOOR CLOSES)
- Okay. So, look,

- I need to talk to you.
- Hi.

- I... I need to ask you something.
- Okay.

Um...

I need you to stop sending me
the, um, items.

The which?

(CLICKS TONGUE) The d*ck pics?

You... don't want pictures of my d*ck?

- No.
- Okay.

Kind of offended. Are you sure?

- Yes, I'm sure.
- Okay.

I'm f*cking serious, Roman!

I'm not so sure, I feel like
you do want them,

but you're being kind
of typically minxy.

I think this happens when
you're under pressure or...

But you need to find
some other outlet, Roman.

Look at you, trying
to get inside my head.

Don't open Pandora's Box.

There's just more dicks in there.

♪ (STRING QUARTET PLAYS) ♪

PETER: No, she has
a lovely house, quite.

- (OVERLAPPING CHATTER)
- Hey, Mother. Sorry.

- Roman!
- ROMAN: Hi.

- Hello!
- (KISSES)

Roman, you know Peter.

- Yep. Oh.
- Yeah.

Peter, Roman's worried in case
I'm throwing myself away.

- (CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
- He thinks I'm in thrall to you.

Other way around.

Well, how you doin'?

Very excited about all this.

Yeah, yeah. Of course. Me too.

And, uh, how's, uh, business?

I hear you're big
in the old silvery gulags!

(LAUGHS) Yes. Helping to, uh,

turn around a nursing home group.

We, uh... It's very rewarding.

Come in... (INHALES DEEPLY)

... look at the operations,
trim the fat.

- ROMAN: Yeah.
- CAROLINE: He means the nurses.

(LAUGHS)

She's very rude. I don't know
why I put up with it.

And I'm very rude to you! (LAUGHS)

He is awful, I can obviously see that.

No. No, no, no, not at all.
He's actually just your type.

Another in the line of post-dad,
posh, English phonies.

He's not posh. His father's a doctor.

Bought all his own furniture.

Yeah, he's a grasping little
scholarship boy.

Well, take it easy there, Mother.

That's my stepfather
you're talking about.

Oh...

he's forcing me into
all of this, this Toscana bit.

But he is tremendous fun.
I mean, look at him,

fizzing away over there like
a bottle of cheap prosecco.

- (CAROLINE CHUCKLES)
- Hmm. Very cheap.

- (CLICKS TONGUE, SIGHS)
- (LAUGHS)

Uh... Mom? Um...

Well, you know that I'm not
a big one for saying things...

but I'm just gonna say, are you...

are you sure?
The guy has, like, four kids.

He's got a lot more
than that, my darling.

Oh, great. That's fantastic.

There's a prenup though, right?

Oh, come on. Don't be so unromantic.

Mom, just... I'm concerned
that maybe you're rushing this.

So what do you expect me to survive on?

Macaroni and memorial services?

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

SHIV: So?

Uh... Yeah, she says
she can't live off...

(MIMICS POSH ACCENT) ... macaroni
and memorial services.

(CLICKS TONGUE) Oh, wow!

Poor old Eleanor Rigby wants to eat d*ck

and drink champagne for
the rest of her life instead?

Yeah, apparently,
we're meant to hate Peter

because he was smart enough
to get a scholarship

and bought his own furniture.

What else do we got?
Any... Any requests?

- Any offers?
- No, not really.

Uh... There's a sit-down.

Like a podcast... (CHUCKLES)

- ... uh, that's basically...
- Okay.

... like ex-Globe journalists
who are doing sort of like a...

Kinda like the Kennedys.

"Curse of the Roys", deep dive.

Uh... They're doing Connor's mom, and...

uh, your dad and someone named Rose

and then the tabloid suicides.

There's like a kid who was bullied,

and was it an accident
or did he k*ll himself?

He was the caterer at your
sister's wedding, I guess.

Do you know about this?

Uh-huh. Sure.

Right, so they're spraying requests

around the whole family.

Maybe...

- keep tabs on that one, okay?
- COMFREY PELLITS: Okay.

f*cking bottom feeders.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

Um... So unless it's weird,
I might f*ck off?

Yeah. Whatever.

- Clock the f*ck off.
- COMFREY: Okay.

- COMFREY: Hey.
- Hey!

Okay!

- (CHUCKLES)
- Very nice. How... How we doin'?

- Good, great. Yeah.
- GREG HIRSCH: Yeah.

I'm great...

Oh, sh*t.

- Phone stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Yeah. Sorry.

No, no, uh, go for it.

(GIGGLES)

- Thank you.
- Well, congratulations, Greg.

Yeah. Punching above your weight?

- Oh, Comfry?
- Mm-hmm.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, I like her, I like her.

I do wonder...

- SHIV: Can you hold this?
- ... is there depth there?

- TOM: Sure.
- Like, is... I don't... is there substance?

Depth?

Oh my God!

The man dying of thirst

is suddenly a mineral water critic?

Does Comfry not sate
your lust for wisdom, Greg?

It's such a shame Sontag's
not still alive.

You could take her to the drive-though.

- (CHUCKLES)
- GREG: Maybe, I wonder,

when she gets to know
the quote-unquote "real me",

uh, will she stick around?

Well, I guess either way,
if doesn't work out,

she's a great date ladder.

Wh... Excuse me? As... As in?

Well, you know, people
will see her with you.

And no offense, but they'll say,

(CHUCKLES) "What the f*ck's
going on there?"

TOM: "Why is he with her?"

Yes. Yeah. Yeah, I'm aware
of what you're saying.

- TOM: Okay.
- SHIV: It still could work for you.

Date ladder! Play the date ladder game!

What... What about her?

- She looks nice.
- SHIV: Well, yeah.

TOM: Hmm. Yeah.

- SHIV: (CHUCKLES)
- I mean, yeah, why not?

- She's pretty.
- She is very pretty.

She's also a princess
or a duchess or something.

- Yeah.
- But sure. Yeah.

- Why... Why not?
- Why not?

We put a man on the moon.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

Oh.

- GREG: Oh...
- TOM: Oh...

- GREG: Okay.
- SHIV: Okay. Wow.

Poor woman, she probably...

(CHUCKLES)

She thinks she met
a fun guy at a wedding.

He should be colored red
like a dangerous lizard.

Oh, no. Scary Poppins is on maneuvers.

Can you, no, just...

- just block me from her?
- TOM: Blocking you.

SHIV: You know, she knows
that I'm not in a good place

and then it's all... (INHALES)

... House of Flying Daggers, you know?

- TOM: Sure.
- "How's your marriage going?

Are you gonna have children?"

How is your marriage going?

- Oh.

SHIV: Mm. Karolina.

Feeling lucky? What the f*ck is that?

GERRI: You see this thing from Karolina?

It's off the radar and now this?
Is it... Is this a move?

It, um, could be...

It could be nothing, you know?

f*cking social media fireworks!

"Going to Macao, feeling lucky".

GERRI: Is he trying to boost his price?

SHIV: Is he just rocking the boat

or trying to blow up the deal?
I mean, has he got good

- subscriber numbers coming in?
- Maybe he's just going to Macao

and he's feeling lucky.

Maybe...

ROMAN: Hey, Lukas! Call me!
Are you high?

I think you should put down

Uh... We need to be inside track
on these tweets, man, okay?

Call me.

I don't know, it's like it's his thing.

He's a... He's a trickster.

SHIV: Okay. Well, sounds cool.

ROMAN: Maybe.

You're supposed to be inside this, Rome.

I am inside this. Leave it.

Hey, nice work, Rome.

ROMAN: Hey.

ROMAN: It's all under control,
m*therf*cker.

- KENDALL: Yeah?
- Yeah. Where are you off to?

Naples, score some junk?

No, just our mother
throwing me out of her party.

ROMAN: Oh, nice!

- Good. Well, so long.
- Where are my kids?

Hey, hey, guys!
Where the f*ck are my kids?

What a surprise! Ken doesn't
know where his kids are.

- So look, um, I've been thinking.
- Mm.

Who knows what'll happen?

Maybe I won't ignite?

Uh... Maybe the two-party system
isn't as rotten as it looks.

- (CHUCKLES)
- But I have to plan for success. So, Willa...

this is a difficult
conversation to have.

Oh, okay.

- So, you're okay?
- (WILLA HESITATES)

Yeah, I don't... Just, uh, no,
go on and just...

We can go back underground.

Me in my apartment in the city.
You come visit. It's...

kind of romantic!

That doesn't work for me. No.

- Okay.

which is...

Ooh!

Well, then I'd be pleased to say...

Yes, yes, yes. Can I...

Can I have a little think on it?

is moving up and f*cking up.

Yeah. I think he played you, Rome.

Ooh, yeah! Oh, my goodness!

Gummy love bite from
the f*cking toddlers.

I think he likes us, I do.
I can feel that in my gut.

Okay. Uh... another one.

Emojis: controller,
fingers crossed, eggplant.

Maybe he's trying to f*ck
a gaming site something with...

SHIV: Look, Rome. This is bad.

I... I think we're good.

Oh, yeah? If he blows this deal,
then who is left for us exactly?

We could become the f*cking

Pan-American Waystar-Blockbuster
Video dial-up Corporation.

Okay.

Here he comes.

SHIV: And here she comes.

He does not give a single...

- No.
- ... solitary f*ck.

- No.
- TOM: Maybe it's all fine.

Maybe they just share a big bed together

and they watch Friends reruns
and drink milkshakes... Oh.

Well, your father made it,
it would appear.

SHIV: And you know the story?

What? The skunk, the porcupine,
and the concubine?

It's probably the best wedding
present I'll ever get.

But... so disgusting.

Is he still f*cking Marcia, do we think?

- Uh... I think not, is the word.
- CAROLINE: Hope not.

Poor old fellow would probably
keel over with the effort.

(LAUGHS)

Oh, well, I gotta go around
telling everybody

to be very discreet. (LAUGHS)

- Oh, and Shiv.
- SHIV: Uh-huh?

You know about this
awful thing later on?

Oh, uh...

Yeah, uh, Rome and I have got a big...

We're working on a big deal,

and so, um... We just got
hit by a torpedo

- and it's not a thing that I can...
- Oh, Shiv. Don't be silly.

Go have fun with Mom. I can manage.

It's... She's not even that involved.

Yeah?

- See you later.
- ROMAN: Hmm. You're welcome.

- f*ck you.
- Logan, you came.

How you doing?

Staying ahead of the Inland Revenue?

(CHUCKLES) Welcome to Toscana.

Oh, glad to be here.

Anything I can do, just let me know.

PETER: Very kind.

When we get the chance, I wanted
a discreet word with you about,

uh, your... your contacts
in the UK government.

- Uh-huh?
- PETER: It's just, I'd...

like to give something back,
you know, the chance to serve.

- LOGAN: Hmm.
- KERRY CASTELLABATE: Logan?

(CLICKS TONGUE) Ah.

LOGAN: Hmm.

And what did he want?

LOGAN: He wants me to get
the dipshits in Downing Street

to make him Lord f*cking
Seat Sniffer Pantyhose.

- Did you read the tweet?
- Yup.

- Have you spoken?
- Uh... I tried, but...

LOGAN: Well, I'm not used
to negotiating via eggplant.

I'm not sure he wants the deal.
(INHALES DEEPLY)

He might just run a f*cking moussaka.

You want to try calling him again?

LOGAN: Hmm.

ROMAN: Um... Okay.

As long as he doesn't come here.

Uh... No. Hey, hey, you okay?

Yeah, I'm okay. Hey, Dad?

Um... Ken, he doesn't wanna see
you. He doesn't wanna talk to you.

Yeah, well, this is all total horseshit.

We had a deal. Jesus Christ.

KENDALL: Let's just have it out, okay?

I wanna see you, Dad.
I wanna see you for dinner,

and let's just nail this, okay?

Eight.

On your own. Yeah?

He's busy.

- (SCOFFS) Sure.
- We'll get back to him.

- We'll get back to you.
- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)

- KENDALL: Oh, you'll... you'll get back to me?
- ROMAN: Mm-hmm.

You prick.

LOGAN: Should I go?

I don't know, maybe wear a s*ab vest.

I mean, it'll be okay,
maybe you should go.

Get him out of the firm.

- You want me to come with you?
- LOGAN: Oh, f*ck off.

I'm not scared. Get me some rooms.

I wanna get Matsson on the phone.

You've got a good lawyer, at least?

Yeah, sure. I'm actually having

People just send each other
pics of their dicks.

LOGAN: People send each other
pics of their dicks?

Yeah. Have you heard of d*ck pics, Dad?

Well, we do publish a number
of popular newspapers,

so yes, son.

Uh... We probably invented
the f*cking words.

But why?

Why... Why? I don't know.

It's just like,
"Here's my d*ck", I guess.

LOGAN: You got a problem?

What happened to that nice
piece of tail you were with?

ROMAN: Uh... Tabitha?
Yeah, she's amazing.

We're having some issues.

And, um...

LOGAN: What interests
you in Gerri exactly?

Jesus, Dad. I'm f*cking...
I'm screwing around!

I don't like things going on
I don't know about.

She's a million years old.

It's f*cking disgusting.

You're a laughingstock.

Oh, go on.

Oh, go on, f*ck off.

- Um...
- (SIGHS)

(HESITATES) So, like, what happens now?

I don't want her hanging around
like frozen f*cking piss.

ROMAN: Gerri?

Uh... I'm not a radical feminist,
Dad, but I think

perhaps we should not fire her

for receiving pictures of my d*ck.

Are you gonna come back?

Sorry about all this, Gerri.

It's just something I wanna
get... (INHALES DEEPLY)

... you know, really clear about
what's going on, you know?

And most importantly,
to see if you're okay.

Uh-huh. It's... It's not a big deal.

Okay. Yeah, I just wanna
get things clear to...

For my dad, you know?

God, this must be so hard for you.

- It's fine.
- Do you wanna...

No? Okay.

Uh... So, has this or something
like this happened before?

I can't recall.

SHIV: Mm-hmm? And if it did,
uh, did you ask him to stop?

Let's talk about this,
uh, tomorrow, okay?

Uh... I just need to check in
with some people.

Okay. Well, sure. I mean, it's not...

not as if you were welcoming these,

- uh, items.
- (CHUCKLES)

(CHUCKLES) Were you, Gerri?

Shiv. (SCOFFS)

Look, it's just something
for your well-being

we need to get really
clear about, because...

you know.

With all this potential upheaval,

and you being in such a delicate
position as interim CEO,

if you can't deal with your own
sexual harassment,

then it's not a good look.

I can cope.

Okay. So, do you wanna
make a formal complaint

against him regarding this?

Well, that's for me to decide.

SHIV: Mm-hmm. I just think,
Gerri, that...

you should report him to HR,
because if you don't,

it could be argued that you
welcomed these photos...

and that just undermines your position.

It's just... That's my
concern for you here.

I wonder if we shouldn't just kick
this all the way up to the board.

(INHALES)

Well, thank you for giving this
so much thought,

and, uh, I'll think it over, okay?

- So, I'll see you back inside.
- Mm-hmm. Let me know.
