This is exactly how Chuck, Taylor, and Mike Prince claim their victory smoke in tonights episode.
And in case the blink-and-youll-miss-it silent gaze is too understated, not to worry.
Just take another listen to the Rolling Stones Wild Horses, which soundtracks the scene.
The lyrics are about as subtle as a sledgehammer.
Oh, and Chuck manipulated his fathers ego.
That last example sounds pretty weak considering this is Senior were talking about.
I cant say the same for Prince and his children or Sacker and her father.
Just so he could be granted the power to arrest one legal cannabis CEO.
Still, this is an impressive plan, even byBillions standards, with every step requiring precise execution.
Its an offer too good to pass up, so Winslow ditches Princes bank.
With Franklin briefly out of the picture, Axe can no longer offer Winslow that attractive media deal.
The next part of the plan coincides with Taylors first appearance at about the halfway mark of the episode.
After conferring with Chuck, Taylor welcomes Lawrence Boyd (Eric Bogosian) into their apartment.
Boyd, who hasnt been seen onBillionssince season three, played akey rolein Axes Ice Juice arrest.
Wendy informs Wags of Taylors latest betrayal.
Remember what I said earlier about precision timing?
The combination of Axes direct pressure and exhaustion from the nonstop wheeling and dealing forces Winslows hand.
She signs with Axe, and soon enough, stacks of cash are loaded into armored Axe Bank trucks.
Will Axe trade in his cashmere hoodie for an orange jumpsuit?
