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 fucking 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 fucking 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 fucking ambush.
I love my business.
(INHALES DEEPLY)
But we've had our throats slit
on ads for 20 years.
We're bleeding out.
Another five of cord-cutting
and we'll be dead
on the fucking 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. Kill 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!
Fuck 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 shit
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 dick?
So, just to say, I had, uh,
Peter Onions rat-fucked.
Oh, what a lovely
wedding present!
The guy's a fucking
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 shit
in there from the divorce,
the holding company
and everything.
And the guy is clearly
on the make, so, yeah?
Fuck it.
(SCOFFS)
Ser-- Fuck it?
SHIV: (INHALES DEEPLY) Yeah.
Hm. She's probably
in sexual thrall to him.
-ROMAN: Hm.
-He's driving her wild
with his sugar dick.
-ROMAN: Nice.
-So there's nothing
that we can do.
Uh-huh. All right, fine.
Let him kill her
for her emeralds and
screw us out
of the fucking 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 fuck is
wrong with you?
ROMAN: I dunno.
We're working on it.
Ongoing process.
(CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYS) ♪
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 fucking 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 dick pics?
You don't want
pictures of my dick?
-No.
-Okay.
Kind of offended. Are you sure?
-Yes, I'm sure.
-Okay.
I'm fucking 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) ♪
(GIGGLES)
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 dick
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 kill 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.
Fucking bottom feeders.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
Um So unless it's weird,
I might fuck off?
Yeah. Whatever.
-Clock the fuck off.
-COMFREY: Okay.
-COMFREY: Hey.
-Hey!
Okay!
-(CHUCKLES)
-Very nice. How-- How we doin'?
-Good, great. Yeah.
-GREG HIRSCH: Yeah.
I'm great--
Oh, shit.
-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 fuck'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.
-Are you gonna have children?
-Okay. Ha-ha.
-(NOTIFICATION CHIMES)
SHIV: Mm. Karolina.
SHIV: (READS TWEET)
Uh-- Tom. Matsson.
-What? Going to Macao?
-The fuck!
Feeling lucky?
What the fuck 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?
Fucking 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
the venti ayahuasca Big Gulp.
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.
Is he gonna, like,
steal our watches and saw
the fucking deal in half?
ROMAN: Maybe.
You're supposed to be
inside this, Rome.
I am inside this. Leave it.
Hey, nice work, Rome.
ROMAN: Hey.
-Matsson going nut-nut.
-ROMAN: Mm-hmm.
KENDALL: Keep hold
of that shit, bro.
ROMAN: It's all under control,
motherfucker.
-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 fuck 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.
-Maxim had an idea
which is
Ooh!
Will you make me
the most happiest man
slash most bulletproof candidate
in the world?
Oh
(WHISPERS) Oh okay.
-Okay?
-WILLA: Oh, no. I-- No, I mean--
(WHISPERS) Baby.
(WHISPERS) Baby.
People are looking, Willa.
Well, then
I'd be pleased to say
Yes, yes, yes. Can I
Can I have a little think on it?
If it's okay
-I'm smiling now
-WILLA: (WHISPERS) Right.
like you said yes.
-WILLA: Okay.
-CONNOR: (CHUCKLES)
-CONNOR: So, take your time.
-WILLA: Right.
-(APPLAUSE)
-CONNOR: (SPEAKS IN ITALIAN)
-Wow!
-So, GoJo's price
is moving up and fucking up.
Yeah. I think
he played you, Rome.
-ROMAN: Mm.
-SEC's gonna be all over this.
Ooh, yeah!
Oh, my goodness!
Gummy love bite
from the fucking 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 fuck
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 fucking
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 fuck.
-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 fucking 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.
-Fuck 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 Fucking
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 fucking 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 stab 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, fuck off.
I'm not scared.
Get me some rooms.
I wanna get Matsson
on the phone.

They're unemployed.

Uh Hey,
Rome is kinda concerned.
You do have
a watertight prenup, right?
Do you think he's gonna do me in
for Granny's fake Rubens?
You've got a good lawyer,
at least?
Yeah, sure. I'm actually having
to open up the divorce agreement
with your father because Peter
loves the Eaton Square flat.
Has he not got one of his own?
CAROLINE:
He had a bit of bad luck
with a salmon-smoking business

his place in Pimlico.
Ooh.
Quite the business brain.
Got a very big heart.
Well, I suppose
opposites attract.
Should we just enjoy a fag?

Or have you come

"Here's my dick."
Oh, what? Like a-- a "fuck you"?
People just send each other
pics of their dicks.
LOGAN: People send each other
pics of their dicks?
Yeah. Have you heard
of dick pics, Dad?
Well, we do publish a number
of popular newspapers,
so yes, son.
Uh We probably invented
the fucking words.
But why?
Why-- Why? I don't know.
It's just like,
"Here's my dick," 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 fucking--
I'm screwing around!
I don't like things going on
I don't know about.
She's a million years old.
It's fucking disgusting.
You're a laughingstock.
Oh, go on.
Oh, go on, fuck off.
-Um
-(SIGHS)
(HESITATES) So, like,
what happens now?
I don't want her hanging around
like frozen fucking 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 dick.
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.
