Hey, Pop.
Hey, son.
I've thought it over and I really think you should come and see the Swede.
Get inside this.
Okay, yeah.
Come on, he likes you. You'll keep it light.
Well, you know, the only thing is, Con's wedding.
- It'll be okay. - Are you gonna make it at all?
We got him some Napoleon thing, you said?
Napoleon and Josephine letters.
Let him know that I'll call him when I have a minute.
And listen,
I'm feeling now more and more, I'm uncomfortable with Gerri,
how she's handled things on the DOJ number, on the spin-off.
Yeah?
Yeah, I think we wanna let her go.
Right, okay, well, let's discuss.
So will you give her the heads up?
Me?
Yeah, I think it would be nicer coming from you.
I mean, you two, you know, you were close.
- Dad. - I mean, you are with me?
You weren't just fucking me around?
- Well, sure, yeah. - We'll make it tidy afterwards.
Just give her the word today. Thank you.
Just checking, he definitely doesn't want me coming with you guys?
Doesn't, correct.
And should I speak to him direct or to Kerry to apologize?
No, you're in the bad books. Just keep your head down.
have a little list of nice things to say to Kerry.
Well, that sounds creepy.
It's not creepy.
No, listen, look, Greg, it's not your fault,
but he just finds you visually aggravating right now.
Visually aggravating?
He's so petty.
Do you have all the support that you need for Sweden?
Yeah, I got like three, four people Gregging for me.
- Gregging? - Yeah.
I roped in a few of the mini Gregs from the pig pen.
Little Greglets.
Okay, well don't turn me into a word, Tom, I'm a guy.
Why do you have all these little guys, these little Greggies running around?
Who are these little Gregs?
The boat leaves in 30
and there's champagne and canapes 'till Ellis Island
and there'll be something more substantial after the ceremony.
Look at that boat!
Willa, it's like you're a Princess in a film.
Thank you.
I mean, all in all, I guess it's not exactly what we expected,
but it's fine.
- He'll look after you. - He will.
Not looking, I'm not looking.
- Okay, I'll go, I'm going. - No bad luck.
- Hi. - Connor. It's all so lovely.
My God. Look at all the young people.
I heard a few of them moaning about the rich.
Well, they don't mind the taste of your champagne.
Mr. Scrooge just happened to be a huge wealth creator.
They don't mention that in Mr. Dickens' books, do they?
No, they do not, very convenient.
Hail Loganus Maximus, slayer of vikings.
- Good morning, sir. - Good morning.
So, what have you got on Matsson for me?
Well, playing hardball, but everybody says he still wants the deal.
There's still a bit of grumbles about the ATN carve out...
Well, that's not on the table.
Right. He's playing tough,
but if there was no upside, he wouldn't be making the time.
I think today's the day. I'll talk to Cyd.
You mean like...
And Gerri, find out when he's done it.
- Karolina. - Yes.
Gerri's getting the push.
- Okay. - What?
Nothing.
We'll her today, swing in the legals.
We can begin to let it seep, hang cruisers around her neck.
Sort of incompetence or worse.
I think the idea would be that she took her eye off the ball.
Clean out the stalls, strategic refocus.
A bit more fucking aggressive.
You push Cyd, Roman knives Gerri, all in a day's work.
SUCCESSION
Hey! What you heard about Matsson? The deal gonna be all right?
- You all right? - Yeah.
Fuck you, I'm great, why?
I don't know, fuck you, I'm just asking.
I'm fine. Let's just enjoy this sham marriage
and the death of romance, it's gonna be great.
Okay, let me know if you hear from him.
- Fuck off. - You are.
What? Talk, talk, talk, what?
Hey, you done it?
Your dad wants to know, have you done it yet?
No, Jesus. I just got off the phone with him, okay?
- She's not here yet. - Are you going to do it?
Yes, I'm going to do it. I'll let you know.
Back off, you inflatable dicky-dick.
Fucking asshole.
Hello, Gerri! How are you doing? You look well.
- Thank you. - I saw a client of mine, I'm gonna go.
No worries. You didn't have to go.
What, no stupid jokes about Martin or something disgusting about dicks
or maybe vaginas?
I'm just being nice, can I not be nice anymore?
- What? - What?
Why are you not looking at me?
I will stare at you as long as you want
if that's what you so desperately desire.
What's going on, Roman?
Nothing. You make me go weird, as you know and fully intend.
But we... Let's talk later, okay?
Like in like 30 or whatever, once we set sail, we should have a chat.
What is it?
What's going on? Tell me.
I just need to talk with you, that's all, we should do it later.
It's better if we did it later, because you can no doubt tell
just from looking at me that it's not great.
But you know, Dad said it, so it's a message.
- Is this why I'm not going to Europe? - Look, it's not official.
And I'm just heads-upping you here, okay?
But yeah, early warning, I did not intend to talk about this right now.
- But yeah, you're... - Why?
I guess he's just unhappy about how long it took
for you to settle with the DOJ.
- Bullshit. - The number, the fine, too big.
I danced us through a fucking thunderstorm without us getting wet.
Guess you just lost his confidence.
Since when?
Since you sent me repeated images of your genitalia?
He really loved that when that happened.
I'm doing it with the courtesy of letting you know.
You can go legal if you'd like,
but we're going to stuff your mouth with so much fucking gold.
This is, I mean, you know that I am on like a human level,
like obviously sad, but...
- Hey, sorry, - I'm good.
This is fine. This is nothing at all.
Thank you for the consideration.
Don't...
Hi.
We'll be boarding, we'll start the boarding process,
and we're going to start with the red invites.
Family and friends, welcome aboard! I'm sorry.
- The cake? - Yes.
It's inadequate.
So I am saying that we can have it as display, obviously,
but I do not want it served, okay?
I don't want to see the internal qualities.
- Yes? - Okay.
Thank you.
Hey, Dad, can you call me back?
That was horrible with Gerri.
Don't listen to this if you don't want to,
but I'm not totally okay with...
Are you kind of just being shitty with me?
Because your son is getting married,
and you can't keep expecting me to bend over for you,
like being cunty, so I'm just asking, so yeah, that's the question.
Are you a cunt? Okay, give me a buzz.
Kidney chop!
Good. Good, that was a good one.
- Should we go? - Yeah, let's go.
We got a head start on all the fucky-clucky face people.
Hi, look how lovely! Smooches! Nice boat.
- Hi, congratulations. - Thank you.
How's the groom?
He's nervous about you guys and his dad and the invited press,
but he's fixated on the cake. He says it's a loony cake.
What is that?
I believe when they told Connor his mom was getting...
Going to the funny farm.
... mental health care,
they gave him cake, dad and whoever, just to calm him down,
dab of sugar.
So he was eating Victoria's sponge for like a week straight.
Right, so loony cake.
Willa, I'm really looking forward to saying hi to everyone
and mixing it up and whatnot, but is there an area where we can...
Yeah, yeah, on the second floor, there's an area.
Thank you. I want to meet everyone
and get into it all about their fucking jobs
and children and everything, but you know, thank you.
Unbelievable. Julie, can you believe this guy?
- You're Julie? - Yes. It's right this way.
So what are you hearing? Is he coming by?
I have no idea. I don't know.
I'm hearing Stockholm, gone or going.
- Yeah. - Okay.
Matsson wouldn't fix it with him on a phone?
Journalism... Taking quotes and kicking asses.
You shouldn't talk to him.
He likes to whip it out to see if anyone notices.
It's a sick game, Greggy. Stop playing it.
- No, bad! - Hey, nice to see you.
- Hey, guys. - Hey.
Hey, guys. Can I grab you for a sec?
- No. - Sorry.
I just want to congratulate you on everything.
- Don't touch me. - Get your nose out of our trough.
You think Matsson is going to tell Dad to just fuck off?
He'll approve the offer is what will happen.
Dad's got to go fucking Lingonberry picking with Matsson.
Fucking puppet mastering the old bastard.
But what if the deal falls apart though? It can.
What's the latest from Naomi? Still in touch with Naomi?
He'll land it.
And we will pocket that sweet bonus loot.
- There he is. - Hey, hi.
So the idea is that Dad will pop by, be dockside,
and you guys are up here. And I think that's just cleanest.
Okay. You think he's going to pop by?
I spoke with Kerry. He's hoping.
- Okay then. - All right, thanks.
Someone's gotta tell him. We should tell him.
- No, come on. Really? - He likes you.
Fine. I'll be the wedding Grinch.
- Fuck you. - Good luck!
Hello? Fucky-sucky brigade, how can I help you?
- Hey, Roman. - Yeah.
Your dad is very sick. He's very, very sick.
- What? - What?
Tom. Apparently Dad's sick. What do you mean he's sick?
- What's going on? - Tom, are you still there?
Is he okay?
What's going on? What is it? Is he okay?
Who's with him?
- Very serious. - Serious what?
It is very, very bad. It seems very bad.
- I'm so sorry to call you like this. - Can you put him on the phone?
Who's there? Tom, what's going on? What happened?
So, he was short of breath and he went into the bathroom.
Someone heard something and we were concerned.
- And then they went in there. - They broke in?
They broke in.
They had the key and they got in, but he's not responsive.
- Is he still in there? - He's non-responsive?
- Yeah. - Is he talking? Can he talk?
Is he breathing?
They're doing chest compressions.
- Fuck! - Has his heart stopped?
- I don't know.
Do you have the machine on board? The heart thing?
- Defibrillator. - I don't fucking know.
What's going on, Tom? Who's in charge?
What is going on right now?
- Karl said that maybe he's breathing. - Who is medically competent there?
They're trained. The attendant is trained.
I'm going to put you on speaker. Hold on.
The captain's been in touch. He is in touch.
The cabin staff are receiving medical advice from their service.
- They have a service. - Okay, what is that service?
Can we be looking on that?
They should talk to him. They should speak to him.
What did he say?
Frank thinks you should speak to your dad.
I can hold the phone near him if you like.
Why does Frank think that, Tom?
I guess if it's a chance to, you know, I think it's the last chance.
- What the fuck do you mean, Tom? - He's not in good shape, Roman.
They're doing chest compressions.
Well, should they be doing that?
They're getting good advice and they're good people.
But I think you should talk to him. I'm not sure he's breathing.
- Are you serious right now, Frank? - We just heard that he was breathing.
You shouldn't do CPR to someone whose heart is going, Frank.
What the fuck is going on?
I'm gonna take you to him and I'm gonna put you by his ear.
Okay, he'll be able to hear you.
If he can hear, he'll be able to hear you.
- You might wanna get... - We'll get Shiv.
Okay, I'm putting you by his ear now.
Can he hear me? Is he okay?
- Tom, is he okay? - No, Rome, he's not okay.
But you can speak into his ear right now. Go ahead.
Hey, Dad! I hope you're okay.
You're okay. You're going to be okay.
Because you're a monster and you're gonna win.
'Cause you just win and you're a good man,
you're a good dad. You're a very good dad.
You did a good job.
No, I'm sorry, I don't know how to do that. Your turn.
- Am I by his ear? - Yeah.
You're by his ear. If he can hear it, he can hear you.
- Go ahead. - Okay.
Hang in there.
Yeah?
- It'll be okay. - It'll be okay.
We love you, dad. Okay? We love you.
I love you, dad.
I do, I love you. Okay?
And it's okay.
Even though you fucking... I don't know.
I can't forgive you.
But...
But it's okay.
And I love you.
- Tom... - Is Siobhan there?
- Ken's gonna get Shiv. - She's not here, I don't think.
- Ken's gonna get Shiv. - I'm gonna get Shiv.
Crazy. Thanks for making me do that.
- Sorry. - Shiv...
- Mom? - Dad is in trouble.
- What? What's happened? - He's on a plane. And he...
It's bad. And they're doing chest compressions.
What?
What, Ken?
I don't know everything. He's with Tom and Frank and Karl.
And they're on the line to doctors.
And I don't know, he was in the bathroom.
And he had trouble breathing. Like, I don't know.
And they started doing chest compressions.
And he was still breathing a minute ago.
But it's very bad.
So, Shiv's coming. They think he's gone.
- What do you mean? - They think dad died.
What? No!
- I'm sorry. - No!
No, I can't have that.
Hey, hey, Tom, can she do it? Can Shiv speak to him?
They've been putting this to Dad's ear just to speak to him.
I'm giving you to Shiv.
Hey, Shiv, I'm putting you by his ear.
Okay. Is he still hearing?
I don't know, but I'm putting you there, okay?
You're by his ear. You can go now. You're talking to him now.
Okay. Hey, Dad.
Hello. You're gonna be okay.
I'm sorry. Is he dead?
I don't know if he's dead. Is he fucking dead?
Tom? Tom?
Hey.
- Is he even alive? - I don't know, honey.
Are you just being nice to me? Is he gone?
I don't know.
We don't know.
Okay, I'm putting you back there, okay?
Okay. Well, I don't know what to do.
You're by his ear.
Just go somewhere private. Just speak.
It's weird, but speak, okay? You never know. He might hear you.
Dad? Hey.
Dad? Daddy?
I love you.
Don't go, please. Not now.
No... I love you. You fucking...
God! There's no excuses for being...
But I...
Fuck!
I don't know. I do love you.
And it's okay. It's okay, Daddy.
It's okay. I love you.
You want to stay on?
Tom?
- Hey, Roman. - What's happening?
Tell me precisely what is happening right now.
Okay.
So we're all here, and I'm heading to the back of the plane.
He's at the front, on the floor,
and they're doing chest compressions.
Okay, so they're still doing chest compressions?
Yeah, yeah, they are.
But not because... I think they have to.
I think they have to keep doing that.
And the plane people are lovely, and they're good people.
I think they've made him very comfortable.
Is he gone?
Is he...
Is he okay at all?
He's not okay. No. He's not.
Is he gone? Tom?
They say his heart has stopped, and his breathing has stopped.
For a while, maybe.
Okay, but that doesn't mean that he's dead, medically.
Right?
I don't know. They're still doing the chest compressions.
And when do you land?
Have you turned around? You're coming back?
I think, yes,
we're heading back, I think.
Can you put me through to the flight deck?
Can I speak with the pilot, please, Tom?
I'll call Frank's phone, and he can take me through to the flight deck.
Okay, Frank, Kendall's gonna call your phone
and be taken through to the pilot.
Okay, that's happening.
Jess, I need a few things. My dad's dying.
I'm just gonna do facts, okay?
I need my doctor. Do they have his doctor?
Do you have his doctor on the line?
Do we have his doctor on the... We have their service,
their medical service, which they have,
and we have Karl's guy listening in.
- But we couldn't get ahold of him. - No, no, they don't have...
And dad's doctor, Dr. fucking Judith.
Get that lazy fucking bastard
and get him and get the best heart doctor in the world
and the best airplane medicine expert in the world
and get them conferenced in and waiting
and send a conference call number to me and to Tom
and to Karl's phone.
I would like that in the next minute, two minutes, please, Jess.
Okay?
Hey, Ken.
Can I speak to the pilot? Can you put me through to the pilot?
The pilot can't speak to you right now, Ken.
Yes, he can.
He's flying the plane, son.
Okay, what's happening?
Frank, where's the information?
We're turning the plane around. We're coming back to Teterboro.
Okay.
Just fucking tell them to do it right.
- Okay? - I will.
I'm sorry, Ken.
Yeah.
Is he gone?
Frank, I mean, is he gone?
I don't know. He got very short of breath and he was hurting
and then very bad...
I don't want to bullshit you, Ken.
I think he went. I think he's gone.
Okay.
Thank you, Frank. Thank you.
Frank thinks he's gone.
Why didn't you come and get me?
I did, Shiv, we did.
I was right out there. How long was it happening before?
- I'm sorry. I wasn't... - No, no, no.
There was like no time.
- I wasn't thinking. I'm sorry. - It's okay.
- I'm sorry. - It's okay.
Tom said that Kerry spoke to him quite a bit.
Right. Well, I don't know.
I mean, we don't know if he could hear us.
Yeah, just I'm sad, I guess.
Do we know if he was on his phone, if he checked his messages?
- Rome, it's okay. - Yeah, I know.
- We're okay. - I don't know. I just don't know.
You did good.
I feel like I didn't... Did I say I loved him?
- I think so, yeah. - I'm pretty sure I didn't.
- No, I think you did. - No, I don't think so.
Tom, could you put me back to his ear for... Fuck it, never mind.
Never mind, I don't know. Maybe let's just keep the line open.
I'll tell you if anything happens.
Fuck! We need to get Connor. We need to tell him.
Can you do it, Ken? I don't think I can. I mean, I could.
I definitely could. I just...
Thank you.
- It's okay. - Do you want me to...
Yeah? Yeah...
Hey, hey. It's my brother and sister.
- Fucking cake nightmare, okay? - Con.
- What is it? - Come here.
- What is it? - It's private.
- It's serious. Come here. - Five. Okay.
- Come here, buddy. - What is it? Is it important?
- Come here for a sec. - What?
Is it pop? Is he okay?
What is it? Is he sick? What is it?
Dad's on an airplane to Sweden, but they're coming back.
We think he died.
They think he's dead.
Well, is he?
Well, everyone says he is.
We don't know. They're doing heart compressions.
Oh, man!
He never even liked me.
- Hey, Con. - Hey, sorry. You know what?
I'm sorry. I don't even know what I mean.
He did. I never got the chance to make him proud of me.
He's dead.
- Roman is on the phone to the plane. - Jesus.
- If you want to talk to him... - I don't know. I don't know.
- Anything? - I can't do this. I can't.
I can't do this, okay?
Hi.
Thank you.
What happened?
- What happened? - I'm sorry, man. I'm sorry.
He was on the plane, and...
He got short of breath.
I said, "Hello, fucky-sucky brigade", and he was in the bathroom.
- He was in the bathroom? - Yeah, I don't know.
- He was in trouble, I guess. - What was it?
Well, we don't actually know. We don't know he's gone.
Okay, so he was in the airplane toilet...
- Come on. - Can we please get this straight?
How about we just get some doctors in there,
some proper doctors, and then we'll know what actually happened?
Sure. I mean, he has gone. I think he has died.
Okay, but you don't know that.
Sure, I get it, but, like, I think they know.
Okay, okay, maybe. Maybe is all.
Roman, I think you have to accept...
Okay, I'm not, like, saying anything.
All I'm saying is that we actually don't know.
That's it. That's all I'm saying.
Right, well, yes, but you sound delusional.
What am I, out fucking voted here?
No, Rome, I'm just saying... Come on, you know...
- What? - They know.
No, no they don't.
- He's... - No.
He's fucking dead.
There's no need to fucking say that, right?
What's the point of keep on saying it? All I'm saying, I'm not being crazy.
I'm saying a fact. I'm saying we don't know.
And until we do know, it's not a very nice thing to say, is it?
- Okay. - So fucking stop!
- Okay. - Okay.
- Sorry. - It's okay.
Well, I'm gonna have a little stiffener here.
Just, gents, Karolina, pardon me.
Let's drink to him.
Well, I guess we're off the clock.
I think it might be smart for us to start putting together a timeline.
And also, I've been drawing up, just in case,
you know, if we need to, a contact list.
Oh, God, they're still pumping on him back there, Karolina.
Well, I'm not happy about it, Karl. And I think we're all being respectful.
But this is gonna be a very complicated situation to handle.
So, you know, if we get a miracle, we get a miracle.
God bless us all. If we don't, I just have to prepare.
- That's all. - Absolutely. Go, go.
Okay, so I think we should call Matsson and let him know.
Well, then we should at least call him and tell him that he's delayed.
He's heavily fucking delayed.
And then, in no particular order,
not in this order anyway, the board, Gerri, POTUS.
- Hey, how are you? - Hi!
That's fucking... nuts.
- That was fucking crazy, right? - Yeah.
It is. We're in shock.
That's so fucking weird. Jesus.
- You guys okay? - Yeah, we're good.
- Kerry... - Yeah.
If it's all right with you, we're just using this space to coordinate
a response if we need to send out.
Is that okay if we...
Yeah.
- Do you want me to help? - No, no.
That's so kind, but you're in shock.
I think you should go back there and we'll make you comfortable
and we'll bring you whatever you need.
Okay, so do you want me to be a part of that,
of the response and the...
That'd be great, Kerry.
Why don't you rest up in there,
let us get our ducks in a row, and we'll get your input.
Okay. I'm gonna be back here. There.
- What the fuck? - I think she's freaking out, Tom.
Yeah?
It looks like she caught a foul ball at Yankee Stadium.
- Jesus. - Here is the list of names.
I think we divide up as soon as we get the...
Not the all clear, but once those 30 minutes are up...
I think we should get Kerry to do them.
Now you want Kerry to do them?
Chuckles the Clown? I think not.
Wait. Hold that thought.
- Hey, Tom. - Hey, Greg.
So I might need you to whiz into the office.
It's a wedding day, Tom. Why?
Why? Because Logan is dead.
Uncle Logan, really?
- How... What... - So listen to me.
You have to stick to Cyd like a limpet, okay?
And you delete my folder marked "logistics"
and then you delete that from the trash.
And I might need you calling around with my narrative.
You sing my song. Merry Christmas, Greg.
What? What do you mean?
Well, he's passed away, and you've looked out.
What's at the bottom of your stocking, Greg?
An old guy who fucking hated you.
Tom, man.
- Easy, dude. - I'm sorry.
Are you okay? Jesus.
I'm not okay.
I'm sad. But I'm sorry.
But, fuck.
I don't know. It was pretty grim, man.
Yeah, it's a horrible...
I lost my protector.
And this is total lockdown. Okay, Greg?
Total lockdown.
If this leaks, it's a stock price rodeo
and a fucking slit throat for the big mouth, okay?
Okay, but people should know that I was with him.
Okay? Okay, man. Okay, bye.
- Everything all right? - Yeah, yeah, fine.
Do you think your uncle's gonna make it?
Do I what?
Sorry, is your uncle gonna make it to the wedding?
Hey, guys.
What? Have you heard already or... ?
Yeah, well, the folks on the plane thought
it would be a good idea for me to act as a liaison with you guys.
I am so, so sorry for your loss.
But we don't know shit.
- They're still working on him. - Right, absolutely.
What if this is a drill? What if it's a big fucking test?
- We don't know. - No.
If it was a test, I'd say hats off to the planning department.
It does not feel likely that he's, you know...
You guys want me to wait outside?
Hey, Tom.
Fine. Okay, thank you.
- They stopped the CPR. - I don't think they should, though.
Hugo, Karolina wants you.
Hey, Kay. I mean, all good.
Under the circumstances, yeah.
- Are we going? - What the fuck?
- No, no, I get it. - I think so.
- We'll discuss it. - Yeah, I think we're going.
- No. - Where are we going?
- I gotta go. - Hugo.
Can you find out what the fuck's going on?
Yes, I will.
And for your information, they're starting to draft a statement.
How do you mean?
Karolina and Frank and Karl and Tom are putting something together
for when we're ready to release the news.
- They're on the statement? - Who asked them to?
I don't know, but they're doing it.
- That feels... - Yeah, that feels...
- Right? - Yeah.
Hey, Hugo, can you fuck off and find out
what the fuck's going on with this boat? We want to go back.
- Yeah, fuck out. - I'm on it.
Yeah, hi, folks! You're on speaker now.
Hey.
So, listen, what's going on with this statement?
Yeah, so we're just starting to put the bones together
for when we're going to announce this.
Sorry for your loss.
Okay, well, it feels pretty fucking presumptuous.
Well, sorry that's how it seemed, but regardless
of our personal feeling of loss in terms of a business position,
it is a material event.
We just need the board to reassure the market.
Will someone please think of the market.
I'm trying to do my job.
He's like 12 feet away, and I've known him for 40 years.
We're not pulling anything here.
We just thought that since you were estranged,
we thought that you might want us to be in the hub on this.
We're not estranged. We weren't estranged.
All right, Kendall, no, I just simply meant...
We had all kinds of communications with him.
We had a family function
last night, in fact. Estranged is a strong word and not accurate.
Fine. All good. We got it.
Let's stay close and best to you guys.
Good strength, friends.
I think, you know, they're very much still processing.
Fucking great.
Shit.
Hey.
How are you all doing?
I briefed her.
I'm really sorry.
I'm very sorry.
He was an important man in all our lives, but especially yours.
Thanks, Ger, I'm welling up.
I mean, he was a lot of things, but yeah...
Well, we don't know yet that he's dead, okay?
No doctor has actually seen him.
Gerri, in terms of the breathing space, we have a bit of time to think,
right, until they land?
Are you thinking can we hold this information until the markets close?
Because obviously this is a very significant private thing.
Is it? Is it significant?
But it's also a big thing in terms of the public,
in terms of the company.
I honestly don't know how much I can get into this.
How long until they land?
I will check.
Gerri, we can't think straight.
Can we keep it up there for an extra beat?
- While we gather and... - The fucking plane?
- Yeah, I'm not ready to... - We need to get him on the ground.
We need to get a fucking doctor on that plane.
God, I've got a headache.
Look, I think it's really good for you guys to stay across this.
Do you want me to ask if they can circle?
- No. - Karolina.
Not until the markets open on Monday, but just, you know, so we can think.
- Absolutely not. - Can you get me an Advil, Hugo?
And can we get back to fucking land?
We want to go to him, yeah?
Thanks for getting Gerri, but back to land.
Do your job, thanks.
Look, this is very surreal.
Just to say, every single thing we say and do today
is going in the memoirs,
going in the fucking congressional record,
it's coming up at board meetings, it's going in SEC filings.
We tell them to circle for half an hour so we can get our heads straight,
and then some fucking rumor starts we get crucified for being cold-hearted,
or I don't even know.
We are highly liable to misinterpretation.
So what we do today will always be what we did the day our father died.
So let's grieve and whatever,
but not do anything that restricts our future freedom of movement.
What do you think? It's cancel, yeah?
- I think it is cancel. - What do we tell them?
I mean, everyone will assume that it's you backing out, and that's fine.
Or could something good come out of something bad.
Too weird, right? Or is it?
Oh, Con. Con, it feels like you kind of want to do it.
I don't know, I don't.
I guess the truth is, I'm scared if we don't,
that you'll walk away.
I'm always scared you're gonna walk away.
I'm so much older than you, Willa.
You're young, and you're full of life, and I'm...
I don't know.
My father's dead, and I feel old.
It's okay.
And I'm sorry, I don't know, that I stole you away from the world.
Oh, God, Con. No.
Are you just with me for money, Willa?
Basically.
Well, I mean, there is something about money and safety here, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, there is.
But I'm happy.
- I am. - You okay? It's okay?
I'm not gonna walk.
Not today, anyway. I'm sorry.
What was that like when he told you?
I thought I knew, and actually I thought it was Dad,
but I said Mom, right?
Yeah, you asked if it was Mom.
I was thinking Dad, but I sort of think I...
I think I was hoping it was Mom.
- Jesus. - Shit.
The fucking lists, the everything.
I don't know if I can do it.
You don't have to do anything. Our dad just died.
We'll be okay. We'll get people.
We'll get a funeral off the rack.
We could do Reagan's with tweaks.
I have Karolina.
So, Karolina, I'm with the kids now,
and I'm gonna put you on speakerphone, okay?
Karolina, you're on speakerphone.
Hey, hi.
So, I just got a call from a reporter who's already heard a rumor
about Logan's health.
- From where? - I don't know what the source was.
I just said there was nothing on that,
which isn't great, but...
- How? - I don't know.
Plane to ground comms,
our tail number, we're turning, they're tracking.
I don't know what goes on down there. Eavesdrop? Kerry.
We probably do just need to figure out the choreography.
Yeah?
You want to choreograph some steps with my dead father,
do the dance you like?
- Sorry. - That's okay.
It's a difficult day.
We're gonna need the statement. Do you guys want to do it?
Do you want us to do it?
I know that this is tough for you guys, I understand that.
So, if you like, we can give the word.
Frank, Karl, myself, Karolina, we could handle the immediate chowder.
And if you like, you could be excused
from the board meeting on compassionate grounds.
Thanks, Gerri. I need some air.
Can you give us five before we do anything?
- Yeah, sure. - Thanks.
I don't know.
I mean, I don't really want to be the one to have to say things.
I feel like you're looking at me and, yeah, but...
It's okay, Ken.
It's okay. I don't think anything of it.
- You can say. - Okay, I mean, just, who knows?
Maybe, tomorrow, we hand them the crown.
Probably a good idea. Finish the sale.
Great, but just...
Should we keep our options open?
One second, Hugo.
Yeah, I just don't know that I can literally do anything or talk to anyone.
We need to be on the statement, though, Rome.
Otherwise it could be all Frank and Karl and Gerri and...
You know, even just overnight,
whatever the text is, the subtext has to be...
... Logan Roy, you know, but Roman Roy
and Kendall Roy and Shiv Roy, we're all here.
- Yeah? - Okay.
And you just don't want Karolina to just handle it?
- It's just for the statement. - Well, okay.
It'll be for the board to decide, but I think until then, for the markets,
we need to be in control. Us.
Yeah. Until the board can meet.
Yeah, I mean, I would.
I don't want anything happening that we don't approve, so...
Yeah.
Hugo.
We'll draft the statement, okay?
Great, great, great. We'll need them to sign off.
It'll need to come from Frank or Simon or the board or...
Yeah, but we'll draft, okay?
And who will call Matsson?
I know, but...
I've got to get off the phone. Sorry.
- Hey. - Hey.
Yeah, I kind of need the room.
Sure. Of course.
I'm pretty sad.
I mean, I'm actually right now totally numb,
but theoretically you would say that I'm...
Yeah, that I'm sad.
- Well, the room's all yours. - It's a fucking mess.
Okay.
- I don't know what to say. - Sorry. So sorry.
Man, so sorry.
- How are we getting him off? - I don't know. Jesus.
I'll handle it.
You've got the edits on the statement?
We do feel that, for market confidence, it's important for Karl, myself,
and Gerri to be mentioned by name.
Great. I'll get that out right away.
And look, we got shutter bugs all over the perimeter,
and we're looking at a feeding frenzy if we don't talk.
So we're going to get some comments
from the family, and I've primed our friendlies.
The press conference is happening in there, and the kids are already in.
Go, go. Yeah.
Hello! Hello everyone!
Are we going to be okay?
Yeah.
We'll be okay.
You're not going to be okay?
- Well, you're not going to be okay. - You're not going to be okay.
- You're fucked. - You're fucked.
- You're totally fucked. - You're very fucked.
- Hi. - Are you ready?
- Yeah. - Shiv? Ready?
Sure?
Hi. Thank you.
As you know, my father, Logan Roy, was pronounced dead on arrival
at Teterboro Airport this afternoon.
I'd like to thank the press for their respect at this time.
You'll understand that I won't be taking any questions,
but my brothers and I just want to say that Logan Roy built
a great American family company.
And as you know, the board will be convening in the next hours
to decide on the leadership of the company going forward.
This nation has lost a passionate champion and an American titan,
and we lost a beloved father. Thank you.
And in terms of your roles at the company?
We intend to shepherd it through
whatever its future may be, but we'll be there.
Guys, guys, thank you. No more questions.
Guys, no more questions. No more questions, please.
Respect their privacy.
Hey.
There he is. That is Dad.
Okay, so we gonna go see him?
Do you want to?
Shouldn't we?
I mean, he's not gonna get angry if we don't.
Hey, Tom?
Can you go through it again? What happened?
I'm gonna go see him.
Do you want to?
I'm gonna watch him down from here.
Okay, so...
Yeah. Okay.
