2. Dead Cat Bounce (第2季)【完整台词】

They might sound better coming from you.

No, I I think they'll sound great coming from you.

[chuckles] Look, I know what you're thinking.

We're all thinking it.

There's obviously more going on here, and none of us want to get caught in another Chuck Rhoades web.

No idea what you're talking about.

Here's how I see it, though.

Whoever comes up with this impossible case is in the lead for Head of Crim.

Counterpoint whoever comes up with this impossible case is then going to have to win said impossible case.

And then if they don't, they're fucked.

That's what Connerty thinks.

And that's why I'm not in his office.

Is that what Connerty thinks, or is that what he wants you to think? I'm hearing that multiple former AUSAs are gonna come forward against you.

Fuck.

Who? No names yet.

The claim is that you were capricious, that, uh, you expected them to use intimidation to get settlements.

Oh, bullshit.

Well, this gives the case teeth.

There's no way a judge is gonna throw it out now.

As your lawyer, I gotta advise you to consider the idea of a settlement.

No.

I won't settle.

Can't.

No, any appearance of guilt puts everything at risk.

Every conviction my office has ever made would be in question.

No.

Well, you can't afford to think in absolutes.

I'm gonna fight this all the way to a trial if it comes to it.

Buddy, you gotta understand.

One hundred and twenty seven cases, if you're found liable even for a portion of them, it could bankrupt you.

So if this gets sticky, how big is your trust, how bulletproof is it? You might You might want to think - about going offshore with it.

- No.

It's a blind trust, and I made a public vow.

I can't touch the money or direct it as long as I'm in office.

Well, there's one good thing about getting fired.

[chuckles] Boy, it's much better to be the lawyer and go home when the hour's up, get some sleep.

If you're the client, you're up all night.

Aha, ah.

I was wondering why we were at a four-top.

Taiga.

I met her at SoulCycle.

She brought a friend for you, too.

- No, no, I told you.

- Just give it a chance.

She's great.

She's an artist.

She's got a new show in Soho, in Queens.

Actually Hoboken.

Whatever.

She's cool.

- Hey, babe.

- Hi.

Hi.

Nice to meet you.

- Hi.

Ira.

- Nicole.

- Charmed.

- Taiga.

Nice to meet you.

So you have to try the Green Dream.

The mixologist here makes them with Ice Juice.

It's this new cold-pressed raw juice bar.

It's literally the best thing in the world.

The guy who owns that company is a client of mine.

I'll slide you guys some gift cards.

Anata-Tek had a brutal sell-off after hours.

- We covered.

- Short it again.

If it cracked this much from just a tweet, they're terrified.

We can break the rest of it if we throw a rock.

Okay.

And wait for the dead-cat bounce.

As soon as the stock's up one percent, start whacking bids again.

It'll dump, maybe by half.

All right.

[] [Bobby] Where's Wags? [knock on door] He's here.

Continue.

I want Wags to hear this.

The Krakow play, your hostility toward him, what's really animating it? Is it coloring your strategy? Perhaps if you show restraint Restraint? Take a good look at the floor, because you don't know where the fuck you're standing right now.

- It's in my purview - You are here to keep the Visigoths outside of the city walls, not to impugn judgment of the Caesar.

No, it's a smart question.

[Steph] Krakow knows your personal animus.

He could be counting on a certain hasty economic response.

It could be a trap.

[clears throat] Inform Mafee.

Hold on Anata-Tek until we've heard from Dollar Bill.

[door opens, closes] I usually depend on you to know what's in my heart, Wags.

You okay? Never better.

Good, 'cause there's something I need you on.

I need to diversify.

I'm not talking about portfolios.

I want to make a fundamental change in our standing.

We can't live inside those city walls forever.

Change is coming.

Stay ahead of it.

Start looking.

[door opens] I can't help feeling these ideas are uninspired.

What else do you have? We go after tech companies, the media darlings, the "don't be evil" crowd.

They're hypocrites, dodging billions in taxes.
