1
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:10,520
Whoa.

2
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:14,880
- Fucking Tories.
- Stop talking.

3
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,840
- The fuck is going on?
- Have the phones gone, too?

4
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,720
Can some cunt put 50p in the meter?

5
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:23,640
Yeah, Ramdani.

6
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:25,880
- Sorry, I... I don't...
- How's Lumi doing?

7
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:27,480
Check your phone, mine's dead.

8
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,360
- What just happened?
- It's already trading down

9
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,280
from the offering price.
It's getting torched.

10
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,080
No, no, no, no, no.
Nothing to worry about.

11
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,600
- Hi.
- How'd you know about the power cut?

12
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,080
We're not exactly sure--

13
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,280
Let me just call you back, okay?
You're gonna be my first call.

14
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:46,760
Caedi, do you know what's going on?

15
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,200
Excuse me. Excuse me, sorry.

16
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:49,480
What's going on?

17
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,200
I... I think we have a slight
technical problem.

18
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,320
What pri... what price are we trading at?
Is it open?

19
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,200
Why didn't the fucking bell ring?
Is it live?

20
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,960
It's 8:01,
so we must be trading, right?

21
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:06,760
Yeah. Yeah, I don't know.

22
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,280
Did someone get a photo of me?

23
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,880
Everything east of Liverpool Street,
totally dark.

24
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,760
- Has the fucking thing opened?
- Man!

25
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:19,000
Whatever this confusion is,
do not let people sell into it

26
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,320
- and hammer the price.
- Don't worry.

27
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:22,600
We think that
all existing Lumi orders are filled.

28
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,320
I think it's a National Grid issue.

29
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,800
The party line to clients
is any softness in the stock now

30
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,240
is a buying opportunity.

31
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:29,520
It must have just been a power cut.

32
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,640
No, no, no, no.
Your order, it has been filled.

33
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,600
You are an owner of Lumi. I think.

34
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,720
Rishi, I've got two clients
wanting your bid in Lumi.

35
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,760
- Where is it?
- Do not let people sell the stock!

36
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,120
Our traders are only buyers of this.

37
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,840
We're not providing liquidity
for the other side. Only buyers!

38
00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:43,200
Tell them they can have my taxi bid.

39
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,120
They can have his
"do one, dickhead" price.

40
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,360
- Guys, I'm a buyer of Lumi only!
- Eric.

41
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,400
Nobody knows if they own Lumi or not.
Are the orders getting filled?

42
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,640
All my IBs are talking
about Lumi's debt profile.

43
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,560
- What do you want me to say to them?
- Calm everyone down.

44
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,520
The market's spooked from the power cut.
Orders are filled.

45
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,680
The story today is not the debt profile.
It's the growth trajectory.

46
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,440
There is a second-year analyst
having to pick up Kenny's line, Eric.

47
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,280
Does that seem like joined-up thinking?

48
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,880
The market is deciding in real time
that this thing is a dog with fleas.

49
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,520
What do you want me to say
to Kenny's clients?

50
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,080
Lumi is a buy on any weakness.
End of conversation.

51
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,240
All the Pierpoint trading systems
were unaffected by the power cut.

52
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,040
- <i>Ms. Hanani?</i>
- Yeah, it's Yasmin speaking.

53
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:23,520
<i>Hi, Otto Mostyn.</i>

54
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,080
<i>It's good to connect last night.
Invitation still stands.</i>

55
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:28,240
Excuse me?

56
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,800
<i>A drink a little later?
After my lunch at the club.</i>

57
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,120
How can I help you?

58
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,800
<i>Well, bad days
tend to be good days for me.</i>

59
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,240
<i>I just wanted to get a sell-side sense
of how Lumi is feeling.</i>

60
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:39,640
Who is that?

61
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:41,480
It's Otto Mostyn.

62
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,680
Yeah, but which portfolio manager?

63
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:45,600
Otto Mostyn.

64
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,640
- Hang up.
- I...

65
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:52,600
She'll get back to you.

66
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,440
He's only ever calling
a junior salesperson

67
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,120
to take a turn out of them.
You don't wanna get involved with Mostyn.

68
00:02:57,920 --> 00:03:00,000
- You good?
- I'll be fine. Are you good?

69
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,600
Me? Any better, it'd be a sin.

70
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:04,800
What's wrong with your back?

71
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,160
Listen, Eric,
I'm about to breach my risk limit.

72
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,200
I can't buy any more Lumi stock
to support it.

73
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:10,480
I'll see what I can do.

74
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,160
You're getting absolutely hosed.
You still running that sterling position?

75
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,080
What's that got to do with this IPO, cunt?

76
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,840
Nothing. It's just, what happens
when the Bank of England

77
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,680
- hikes rates this morning?
- Why would you say that?

78
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,120
Why would you say...
Why would you incept that fucking stress

79
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:24,200
into my head?

80
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:25,840
- What? What? Ju--
- I'm trying to--

81
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,360
If you speak again,
I'm FedEx-ing you back to Watford.

82
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:29,720
Now, get the fuck out of my face.

83
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,040
These posh guys are literally
defined by their, like,

84
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:34,640
sexual derangement.

85
00:03:34,640 --> 00:03:38,240
This <i>Guardian</i> article
is spilling the tea on Henry Muck.

86
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,320
So, my best mate, Treacle,
she's with Select.

87
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:45,760
Her body? Too dangerous for social media.
Like the most insane butt fold.

88
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,360
And these, like, tiny,
perfect little angel tits.

89
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,880
Anyway. So, she matched with Henry Muck,
and he took her on this incredible date--

90
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,440
Why? Why are you telling me this?

91
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,640
Can someone in tech support
give me a straight fucking answer on...

92
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:58,920
You gonna get that?

93
00:03:58,920 --> 00:03:59,960
- I'm--
- Yasmin...

94
00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:01,240
- Just--
- ...pick up the phone.

95
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:04,480
I'm gonna be si...

96
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,520
No drama here!
There's drama on the end of the line.

97
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,080
- Get back to work.
- I told you, her heels are too high.

98
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:12,240
- I'm sorry.
- Listen,

99
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,040
this constant state of emergency,
this is it, this is as good as it gets.

100
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,560
You wanna know what's worse
than a ringing phone? Silence.

101
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,080
Are we gonna get this stock
to close above 480?

102
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,240
If you can't handle it,
show yourself out the door.

103
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:25,920
Anna Gearing's on the line.

104
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,840
You know, it seems like I'm doing
two people's jobs

105
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:29,600
on what feels like
quite a significant day.

106
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,920
Your tone with me is inappropriate.

107
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,600
Eric, fuck her tone.

108
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,600
Your Coach Carter camaraderie
is bullshit,

109
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,080
when making management decisions,
like, I don't know,

110
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,720
losing a fucking executive director
the morning of an IPO.

111
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,040
You're fucking nuts!

112
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,720
Anna, hi, I'm so sorry.
It's been a crazy morning.

113
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,640
<i>Did you guys oversell
the fundamental story?</i>

114
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,240
<i>Do people know something
that I don't?</i>

115
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,400
<i>My reputation in front of my board
is on the line here.</i>

116
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,920
<i>Did Pierpoint overvalue Lumi?</i>

117
00:05:00,840 --> 00:05:05,440
Anna, you have to trust me, okay?
This is just panic.

118
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:06,840
You don't want to be trigger-happy

119
00:05:06,840 --> 00:05:09,120
and look daft
when the market turns in our favor.

120
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,320
<i>- It better turn.</i>
- I'm bid only, Lumi.

121
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,680
Bid only. It's just finding a level.

122
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,920
If anyone asks for an offer,
they'll end up like Mussolini and his Mrs.

123
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:19,440
<i>-...'cause of the disruption...</i>
- Is this price live?

124
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,160
We started at 430,
and we're already trading down at 400.

125
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:23,880
What percentage decrease is that?

126
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,240
Do it in your head, fuckface.
What did you read at Oxford?

127
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:29,320
Geography.

128
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:31,440
Why?

129
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,280
Harry, good to see you, mate.

130
00:05:34,280 --> 00:05:36,280
- Yeah, yeah. Have a good day.
- And you as well, Sir Henry.

131
00:05:36,280 --> 00:05:38,320
Well, try not to monitor it
like a day trader then, sir.

132
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,440
Are you kidding? Every tick down
is potentially tens of millions--

133
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,800
- What, off your net worth?
- Tobias, yeah.

134
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:44,960
- Congratulations.
- Thanks for supporting.

135
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,640
Thank you for being here. Thank you.

136
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,680
Off the valuation of the company,

137
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,120
to its public perception,
and therefore its health,

138
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,040
and consequently, its ability to do good.

139
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,640
How did these hacks get my fucking number?

140
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,640
I've got Ed Cumming from <i>The Telegraph.</i>

141
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,160
Tell him to fuck off for a minute, yeah?
Wait a minute. The... <i>The Telegraph.</i>

142
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,720
Moderate that to piss off then, yeah?

143
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,040
Caedi...

144
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:10,800
Are you okay?

145
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,160
- Am I okay? Yeah, fine.
- Yeah.

146
00:06:13,280 --> 00:06:16,600
You're not... you're not panicking.
Not yet, I mean.

147
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:18,640
Caedi...

148
00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:21,000
tell me it'll all be fine.

149
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,880
Yeah, okay. Don't let me derail you
from whatever task you were undertaking.

150
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,760
Look, I know it's not actually my job
to tell you this,

151
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,320
but you should not speak
to the press right now.

152
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,240
Anything you say this close to the launch
might be considered offering language,

153
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:36,720
and we might get in shit
with the regulator.

154
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,320
Plus, the market might misread you.

155
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,040
What's her fucking name?

156
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,240
You know her fucking name.
You just used it.

157
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,880
- It's Caedi.
- Caedi, Caedi.

158
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:49,760
If you could make your way
through the corridor.

159
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:50,920
Patch <i>The Tele</i> through.

160
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,600
And get <i>MarketWatch</i>
and <i>City A.M.</i> and all our other pals.

161
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,080
Ask Jannette for their details.

162
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:56,760
None of the Norton papers.

163
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,240
We don't want it to look
like a conflict of interest.

164
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,160
Thank you, Caedi.

165
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,640
Yeah, time for some...

166
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,120
some smart triage, yeah?

167
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,320
Can you set us up with a war room
back at the office? Can we do that?

168
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,720
- Like a meeting room?
- Yeah.

169
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,160
Meeting room, good.

170
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:16,960
Okay.

171
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,960
Well, I've been wrestling
with my expectations of you

172
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:28,120
and the lived reality
of this peculiar hungover

173
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,640
new hire sitting in front of me.

174
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,400
- Thank you.
- There's a dissonance.

175
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:35,360
How so?

176
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,600
Well, your former boss
called us nine times.

177
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:41,640
I never did take his call.

178
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,920
His email follow-ups were always
these brusque imperatives like,

179
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,960
“Re. H. Stern. Not a smart hire.”

180
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:50,800
Nine times.

181
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,440
Telling us not to hire you.

182
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,320
If it was incompetence, I'd expect once,
or not at all.

183
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,760
If you were problematic, maybe three,
but the fact that he called nine

184
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:05,360
gave me pause.

185
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:07,200
So...

186
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,680
either he really can't stand you...

187
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:16,240
or he doesn't want anyone else
to have you.

188
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:18,600
Which is it?

189
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,440
He doesn't like people
who go against the grain.

190
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:26,920
Fuck!

191
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:29,240
Fuck!

192
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,680
Well, Anna seemed to want you.

193
00:08:32,680 --> 00:08:35,520
And, you know,
as the calls compounded,

194
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,240
I began to think to myself,

195
00:08:37,680 --> 00:08:41,520
"This Harper Stern
must be a pretty unique individual."

196
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,080
Look, I want to hedge our exposure
on the Lumi IPO.

197
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,160
Does Anna know about this?

198
00:08:50,680 --> 00:08:53,000
No. But I'm sick of losing money.

199
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,520
So, you've been behind enemy lines.

200
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:58,640
Who do I call at Pierpoint?

201
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,960
What kind of qualities
do you like in a salesperson?

202
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,080
Naive and amenable.

203
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,040
Yasmin Kara-Hanani.

204
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,840
Next up, we've got
Jonno Brinto from the <i>FT.</i>

205
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,840
Look, if you want to brief the press,

206
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,800
do it through prepared, printed comments.
And get your PR people on it.

207
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,000
You don't want to leave room
for interpretation.

208
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,040
Why hide behind the inhumanity
of a press release?

209
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:27,800
There's way less scope to be misconstrued.

210
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:28,960
Yeah.

211
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,440
Jonno! I was...

212
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,280
I was surprised not to see you
at the old Wykehamist thing.

213
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,440
<i>Is that really a surprise?</i>

214
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,160
<i>Sorry, mate. Dog's going mad. One sec.</i>

215
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:42,840
Let me tell you,

216
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,120
from my experience of working with you,
you are not thinking straight.

217
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,080
All right, take a moment, clear your head.

218
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:49,720
If you don't want counsel from me, fine.

219
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,360
- Talk to your board.
- Yeah, they're a committee.

220
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:52,640
Leave me alone.

221
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,480
<i>Sorry about that.</i>

222
00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:00,040
<i>So, what do you make of the growing rumors
that the smart money's leaving Lumi?</i>

223
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,760
Why all this negativity
straight out the gate?

224
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,720
<i>I got a tip that
Ashford Asset Management pulled out.</i>

225
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,600
<i>Whispers that some other
bigger guys might.</i>

226
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,320
<i>Fidelity, Millennium.</i>

227
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:11,680
<i>What's causing this avalanche?</i>

228
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,920
You know, we don't lose sleep
over the whims of institutional investors.

229
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:18,960
You know, this is a democratic company.

230
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,880
I care about our customers
and affordable energy.

231
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,520
You know, Jonno,
I respect the man in the street,

232
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,040
not the man in the office.

233
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,080
<i>I like that line. Nice.</i>

234
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:30,640
In fact,

235
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,880
you know, we might offer some stock
to our customers via the Lumi app.

236
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,480
<i>Like that disastrous Deliveroo policy?</i>

237
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,760
Yeah, well,
we'd never execute it that badly.

238
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:42,280
Anyway, I was joking.

239
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:47,800
The point is, I can't see how more shares
for retail investors is a bad thing.

240
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:49,560
<i>Great.</i>

241
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,760
<i>I think I've got everything. Cheers.</i>

242
00:10:54,560 --> 00:10:57,720
You know, you're in danger of becoming...

243
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:00,080
overfamiliar.

244
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,280
I think it's best you take a walk, buddy.

245
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:10,680
I can't keep supporting Lumi.

246
00:11:10,680 --> 00:11:13,040
I can't buy any more
without breaching my risk limit.

247
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,200
The only people calling want your bid.
I've got Piers wanting a price.

248
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,440
Stop answering the phone
to fucking sellers!

249
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,400
That's Piers from Pluto.

250
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,800
He's a big name. I've had to eat shit
to get him to speak to me.

251
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,600
I don't give a fuck
if it's Bluto from <i>Popeye.</i>

252
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,360
Listen, if anyone tries
to sell Lumi through me again,

253
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:34,760
I'm cracking heads!

254
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,760
I'm not getting tested
by some Cheltenham Lady's College cu...

255
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,800
Yeah? Go on, finish your fucking thought.

256
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:42,840
You can't threaten violence on the floor.

257
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:47,360
Okay, what? Only allude to it then, yeah?
I am violence! I am violence!

258
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,760
Rish, what the fuck? What's going on?

259
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:54,440
Who the fuck is this?

260
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:56,600
Ramdani.

261
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:00,360
Eric called about your risk limit.

262
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,760
Consider it raised.
Executive decision on my part.

263
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:04,760
Pierpoint.

264
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:08,240
No, it's William Adler.

265
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,880
What am I seeing this morning?
Nothing more than early jitters.

266
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:14,880
The name's best in class
and any early weakness

267
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,200
is a buying opportunity.

268
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:20,600
Why are you surprised I'm on the phone?

269
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,680
I never miss the floor
for the IPO of names I believe in.

270
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:25,960
No, no, no.

271
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,160
No, you're good, you're good.
You can have it.

272
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:29,680
Yeah, yeah, let me get a trader for you.

273
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:31,800
Ramdani, I have an order for you.

274
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,560
- Buyer of Lumi.
- Great.

275
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,920
Good morning, everyone.
Can I please suggest a bit of poise?

276
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,600
- Thank you.
- Yeah, Ramdani, Pierpoint.

277
00:12:42,560 --> 00:12:45,040
Yeah, I can do that. Great.
Let's move to IB...

278
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:46,440
Down 2.8.

279
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,080
Okay, on the tape now.

280
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,840
Bank of England leave rates where they are
after expectations to hike.

281
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:59,120
This is positive
for UK equities and for Lumi.

282
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,520
Oh, thank fuck. We're actually rallying.

283
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,480
Kiss anything you believe in.

284
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,600
Oh, my fucking God.
Have you seen these tweets?

285
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:12,720
What tweets?

286
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,640
Jonno Brinto at the <i>FT.</i>

287
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:19,040
"Lumi CEO confirms smart money
exits energy firm."

288
00:13:20,560 --> 00:13:24,360
No. No. No. No.
Come on, stay steady. Fuck!

289
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:29,320
Fuck, it's fucking whiplash this morning.
It's fucking whiplash this morning! Shit!

290
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,280
Just turn your phone off for a bit, yeah?

291
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,720
We've been trading
for less than half a day.

292
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:38,880
And the US is gonna come in soon.

293
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,640
That'll mean more flow, more appetite.

294
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,400
You don't understand, it's fucked.

295
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,120
The price is the confidence.
The confidence in me,

296
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:47,840
the confidence in the company.

297
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:52,160
Look, if you just stopped
and listened to the people around you--

298
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,000
Look. What have you got to offer me?

299
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:01,000
I don't think you realize
this is much larger than me or you.

300
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:03,600
It's all above board, though.

301
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,840
Of course, it's all above board.
I'm not a crook.

302
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:09,440
It's just...

303
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:11,960
we're at the mercy of

304
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,320
external factors.

305
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,400
We're at the mercy of the market.

306
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:22,920
To make this last ten years a success,
to catalyze it into something real,

307
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,800
I've had to enter this crapshoot,
this fucking casino!

308
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:29,840
It's not my fault this is the way

309
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,600
our clueless society decided
we raise capital!

310
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:35,880
Fuck.

311
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,440
Six hundred and forty-two
people work for me.

312
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,880
Six hundred and forty-two people

313
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,760
rely on this business
for their livelihoods.

314
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,320
Two million households.

315
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:57,360
That's homes going cold, right?

316
00:14:58,160 --> 00:14:59,960
As long as Lumi
gets the installation contract

317
00:14:59,960 --> 00:15:02,040
on the prepayment meters. I mean...

318
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:04,040
do you care?

319
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,880
- What the hell are you talking about?
- No, 'cause you forget...

320
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:12,480
that I've sat through all your evangelism,
your fucking soapboxing.

321
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:16,480
I've heard you parrot all the literature.
It opens people's wallets, doesn't it?

322
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,120
That's called selling the vision,
you moron!

323
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,640
- That's bringing people with you!
- Yeah, but it's built on nothing.

324
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,600
Yeah, everything's built on nothing.
That's how you build something.

325
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,120
- You talk it into becoming.
- Yeah, too fucking right. It's messianic.

326
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,280
Yeah, it's...
It's "fake it till you make it."

327
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,160
Well, let me ask you
a more direct question, then.

328
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,760
If you... if you believe in this so much,

329
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,200
then why is the lock-up period
on your shares so short?

330
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,520
- It's 60 days!
- Yeah, it's fuck all!

331
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,440
It's almost unheard of.
It's the lowest it could be.

332
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,360
So, you can start selling your shares
ASAP after the listing.

333
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:48,160
So, I'm not allowed to be motivated
by personal remuneration

334
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,360
and by reforming an industry
for the better?

335
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:54,120
You see, this is the fucking problem
with how so many people see the world.

336
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,160
Two things can be true at once!

337
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,360
Maybe you'll realize that
when you grow up.

338
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,840
I've never met anyone
with a bigger blind spot.

339
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:02,680
Spare me.

340
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,120
What, the preacher from Pierpoint?

341
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,960
You work for an investment bank.
You are the parasite's parasite.

342
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,040
You're paid to follow me around
and service me.

343
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,760
- Who's the fucking loser here?
- You are!

344
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:19,480
Should we intervene?

345
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,960
'Cause you're just like every other

346
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:28,000
overqualified, underdeveloped,
parentally backstopped child.

347
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,240
Your wins are yours.

348
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,480
And your losses?
Well, they're someone else's problem.

349
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,960
Your life's one long
fucking MBA course, isn't it?

350
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,880
Why don't you call me
a posh cunt and be done with it?

351
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,680
Now, two words instead of 30,
easier for you.

352
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:53,960
Go on, say it.

353
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,640
I bet it gives someone
like you a genuine thrill.

354
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:00,560
Nah.

355
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,480
I'll just let people call you
a posh cunt behind your back.

356
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:08,960
Pussy.

357
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:12,680
Fuck off!

358
00:17:27,120 --> 00:17:28,080
Fuck you!

359
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:30,560
Posh cunt!

360
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:33,200
What are they doing?

361
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:45,720
Yay for Lumi!

362
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:48,880
Hello!

363
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,280
So, glad we built one of these.

364
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,000
- Hey.
- Robert, where the fuck are you?

365
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:20,880
<i>Yeah, I don't think
I'm going to make it back.</i>

366
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,640
You okay? You sound stressed.

367
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:25,520
- What's going on with you?
- Lumi continues to trade

368
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:26,720
like my mother-in-law's sex appeal.

369
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,120
Where were you last night?

370
00:18:29,360 --> 00:18:31,720
<i>I shouldn't have
given you that stupid necklace.</i>

371
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,440
<i>It was a dumb, expensive,
extension finishing gift.</i>

372
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,040
<i>Okay? Please don't overthink it.</i>

373
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,960
Hey, no, don't be stupid.
It's not-- I love it.

374
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:43,200
<i>Please come back.</i>

375
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:45,880
You make it bearable here.

376
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,960
Give me your best three ideas
to hedge our Lumi exposure.

377
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:57,640
I thought you were a brain.

378
00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:58,960
Yeah...

379
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:02,480
One, buy natural gas futures.

380
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,520
Biggest risk to Lumi
as they're exposed to rising gas prices.

381
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,680
Two, buy credit default swaps
on a basket of oil and natgas companies...

382
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:11,760
What the fuck are they doing?

383
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:13,440
The government will have
to cap consumer prices,

384
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,000
leaving the majors on the hook.

385
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,480
The market is already starting
to sniff this shift.

386
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,080
I don't do sugar.

387
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:24,680
I'll have one if you're making one.

388
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:26,280
Yeah, for sure.

389
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,360
Did you see those bruises
on Taylor's legs?

390
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:30,640
Damn!

391
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,280
Travis is really putting the girl to work.

392
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:34,480
Good for her.

393
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,680
Three, long-term, short the pound.
Government bailout risk.

394
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,200
Taxpayers may have
to subsidize Lumi if it fails.

395
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,640
Plus, the UK is a faded power
scrambling for relevance.

396
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,200
Longer, longer-term?

397
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,920
I don't wanna trade for the next decade.
I want to trade for today.

398
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:54,400
Price any of those up now.
I'm sure they're all making money. Today.

399
00:19:58,400 --> 00:19:59,400
Okay.

400
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,160
Let's go put Anna's money
where your mouth is. Follow me.

401
00:20:05,360 --> 00:20:07,360
She thinks she's Meghan fucking Markle,

402
00:20:07,360 --> 00:20:09,560
because she swans
into the Broadstone Place entrance

403
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,440
in Chiltern, when actually,
she's very second-day at Frieze.

404
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,080
<i>You're right, they're all in the green.</i>

405
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,040
- Probably missed the move, though.
- No, you haven't.

406
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,640
Call Yasmin and ask for price
on the CDS trade.

407
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,040
Pierpoint, Yasmin speaking.

408
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,000
- Hi, Anna.
- <i>It's Petra.</i>

409
00:20:26,120 --> 00:20:29,680
I want your price on the CDS
to the listed oil and natgas basket.

410
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,080
<i>Five million.</i>

411
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,640
Petra, I assumed it would be Anna.

412
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,440
Can you do this for me or not?

413
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,840
Rishi will be too busy. She'll use Anraj.
He's more junior.

414
00:20:42,120 --> 00:20:44,440
Rish, can you price some CDS?
Five million.

415
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,400
Does it look like I can price some CDS?
Use Palm Angels.

416
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,600
Oi! Nobel Laureate in noncing,
you're up.

417
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,640
<i>Anraj, FutureDawn want your price
in the listed oil and natgas CDS.</i>

418
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,560
They can have it at 1.75.

419
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,040
Petra, we can make it for you at 1.75.

420
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:04,800
What?

421
00:21:05,360 --> 00:21:08,240
I'm seeing 200 on my screen.
How are you doing this?

422
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,000
Say, "Mine there, Yas."

423
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:13,520
Mine there, Yas.

424
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,200
<i>Please send the confirm.</i>

425
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,560
- FutureDawn buys at 1.75.
- Sending confirm.

426
00:21:20,120 --> 00:21:21,960
- Who was that?
- FutureDawn.

427
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,440
Wanted to trade some CDS protection
on oil and natgas names.

428
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:28,160
Strange.

429
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,200
Nice little upswing in that already.

430
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,080
Very interesting.

431
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,640
Don't pick up the phone
to Pierpoint for the next hour.

432
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:37,520
Noted.

433
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,360
We're offering all our customers

434
00:21:40,360 --> 00:21:42,000
- a one-time only offer...
- They're waiting for you.

435
00:21:42,120 --> 00:21:43,480
- ...it's a super cheap variable tariff...
- Who is?

436
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,680
- ...that comes with full...
- All of them, the board.

437
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,280
Good afternoon, Lumi energy...

438
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:50,040
Shit.

439
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,920
- Do we have a jacket in the office?
- No, you implemented a no-jacket policy.

440
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,560
- Fuck.
- I'm so sorry.

441
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,320
Right, let me check with someone
in our support team,

442
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,160
they'll be able
to resolve the issue.

443
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:04,360
It's green, yeah.

444
00:22:04,360 --> 00:22:05,680
- If you like the outdoors.
- Yeah.

445
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:06,880
What the fuck are you doing?

446
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,960
Why did I get a new trade confirm?

447
00:22:09,120 --> 00:22:11,800
You don't have authority
over what I trade.

448
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,160
You're embarrassing yourself.

449
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,160
This is such a betrayal of our friendship.

450
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:23,200
And your overemotional behavior
is a betrayal of our status as colleagues.

451
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,440
I work for you, Anna.

452
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,280
- I'm just gonna excuse--
- Sit down!

453
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,520
You drove me to the fucking hospital
when I was having my fucking kid.

454
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:35,120
You are the godmother to fucking Boadicea.

455
00:22:35,120 --> 00:22:38,880
You asked me to be godmother.
What was I gonna do? Say no?

456
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,640
You employ me, Anna.
What would no have done to that?

457
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,000
I mean, how many
other godparents were there?

458
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:49,200
Four. But that is not the point,
I always thought of us as equals.

459
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:53,080
No. You've made it very clear
that this is not my fund.

460
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,320
You're the one who pushed
for a friendship.

461
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,920
Just be a fucking person!

462
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:01,480
- What?
- Is this about the IPO?

463
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,280
Do you mean be like this?

464
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,280
And you, I don't even have the words
for what you are.

465
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,600
You are everything
everyone said you were.

466
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,080
Your board are here to see you.

467
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:23,600
We're not fucking finished here.

468
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:31,120
I need some air.

469
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:58,680
Pierpoint, Eric Tao.

470
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:01,720
Hello?

471
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:11,880
<i>Hello?</i>

472
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:29,760
Well, this wasn't in the diary.

473
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,480
You ever want to confuse a room
full of hyper-educated corporates

474
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,680
just utter the words "business casual."

475
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:45,720
We've been hearing a lot
of concerning things about your conduct

476
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,040
and the way
you've been comporting yourself

477
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:49,160
in the last 24 hours.

478
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:50,840
I don't know
why we're burying the lede.

479
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,160
Why the hell did you massage the numbers
so late in the day?

480
00:24:55,120 --> 00:24:59,320
Well, we needed a better
EV/EBITDA multiple.

481
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,400
A more palatable valuation pre-IPO,
a higher share price.

482
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,600
Massaging your short-term
and long-term liabilities

483
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,560
is totally in line
with normal banking practice.

484
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,560
Then why has your CFO
just tendered his resignation?

485
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:17,720
Oh, Kwaku's resigned, has he?

486
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:21,280
How noble.

487
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,280
He is going to wait to announce publicly.

488
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,200
Henry, you were a great marketer

489
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,960
and money raiser,
but you are not a manager.

490
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:36,040
The company's at a different stage
and has outgrown your skill set.

491
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:38,280
Perhaps, it would be prudent

492
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,880
for you to consider
your own position post-IPO?

493
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:44,720
Guys, nothing's happened.

494
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:47,720
Yeah.

495
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:49,920
It literally...

496
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:52,920
Nothing's changed.

497
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,120
By the end of the day...

498
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,040
none of this is real.

499
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:08,360
Henry has just walked out.

500
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,240
Oh, for fuck's sake, Muck.

501
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:12,840
Where's he going?

502
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:20,720
Oh, you bastard.

503
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:33,520
Who are you?

504
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,280
Sorry. I'm Robert.

505
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:39,960
I rang the bell, but there was no answer.

506
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:41,240
I didn't hear the bell ring.

507
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:43,680
Yeah.

508
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,240
Look, I know
this is very inappropriate, so soon.

509
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,000
Well, it's a little gross, actually.

510
00:26:53,120 --> 00:26:56,120
But I really need to retrieve
some time-sensitive documents.

511
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,600
- Where do you work?
- Pierpoint.

512
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,040
Mallon Mercer are a client.

513
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:05,560
Her study's upstairs.

514
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,800
More tweets have landed,
reports the board were seen

515
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,200
going into Lumi. Crisis talks?

516
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,400
I mean, that has to be bearish, right?

517
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,880
- The price certainly thinks so.
- These rumors are killing us.

518
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,280
The CEO needs to be kept
out of the story here.

519
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,440
We're still only buyers.
Only buyers of Lumi...

520
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,000
You know, he's quite dark, right, Henry?

521
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:29,520
You know what I said about Treacle?

522
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,240
No more about Treacle.
Honestly, we've covered Treacle.

523
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:34,280
You don't want Treacle? Fine.

524
00:27:35,120 --> 00:27:39,000
I just thought you might wanna know
that Henry asked her to piss on him

525
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:40,240
on the second date.

526
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:42,800
Yeah.

527
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:47,080
Look, I don't wanna kink-shame him,
but he's, like, into urine.

528
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,400
All right, okay. Thanks, Sweetpea.

529
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,200
<i>...little reason to fear
importing inflation overseas.</i>

530
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:52,400
You don't look well.

531
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,080
<i>The European Central Bank...</i>

532
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:55,280
Sorry, I'm fine.

533
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,240
This is just people pushing buttons.

534
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,320
Either we push the ones that benefit us,

535
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,000
or we coax people
into pushing the ones that benefit us.

536
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,160
And you know what?
People are buttons, too.

537
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:07,240
That's sales.

538
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,040
Hey, Bill, what did Newman
used to say about markets?

539
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:11,080
Smoke and mirrors.

540
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:16,000
This is all smoke and mirrors,
but it's indivisible from reality.

541
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,240
So, we make reality.

542
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:21,360
What are you thinking about?

543
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:24,280
Urine.

544
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:27,520
- Sorry, what?
- Oh, sorry...

545
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:30,440
We make reality.

546
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:31,960
Look, man.
What are you hearing about Lumi?

547
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:33,040
Thank you.

548
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:37,240
I'm long. Yeah, long. Up to my nuts.

549
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:38,920
Why do we feel so understaffed?

550
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,720
I let go of an expensive ED,
Kenny Kilbane.

551
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,640
On the eve of an IPO?
I meant over the next quarter.

552
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,240
Hey, what kind
of fucking decision making is that?

553
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:49,360
Was that planned?

554
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,120
- I made an executive decision.
- You made an irrational decision.

555
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,520
Why does the CEO
keep making himself a story?

556
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,360
We need to keep him out of the limelight.
These rumors are killing us.

557
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:02,520
Bill, you already said that.

558
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,040
Of course, it's important
you fucking hear me.

559
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:09,400
Rob, it's Yasmin. Where's Henry?
I think I know something we can do.

560
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:11,680
Call me back urgently.

561
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:19,720
You didn't find
what you were looking for, then?

562
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:21,440
No.

563
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,120
You didn't have sex on this, did you?

564
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:27,800
Were you fucking Mummy?

565
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,000
- I don't know what you're talking about.
- Oh, come on.

566
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:32,520
You're a textbook target of hers.

567
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,640
Did she shower you with gifts
and fly you to Formentera?

568
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,360
She did that with her favorites.

569
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:40,480
I'm joking.

570
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:42,480
You can't fly to Formentera.

571
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:44,920
She wouldn't have done that for anyone.

572
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,200
I had no idea she had a family.

573
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:51,000
Neither did she.

574
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:54,880
She was fucking selfish.

575
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,080
Still, I guess that's how
she made so much fucking money.

576
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,440
She was so fucking <i>Hello!</i> magazine.

577
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:05,960
- What does that mean?
- A bit flash.

578
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,280
- You know, a bit common.
- It was her money.

579
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:11,360
She can behave how she wants with it.

580
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,880
You fucking freak. You actually liked her.

581
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:16,480
How?

582
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:28,440
I'm really sorry for your loss.

583
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:32,280
Is there anything I can do to help?

584
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,280
Were you unlucky enough
to have a mother?

585
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:40,840
She was very...

586
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:44,640
present.

587
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:47,760
Too present.

588
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:51,000
Poor you.

589
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,800
Wait. No, what are you doing?
I didn't... I didn't--

590
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:14,080
Shut up a second.

591
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:16,520
I need to be touched, please.

592
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,120
No, no, no. No.

593
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:43,760
No. No.

594
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:46,360
No.

595
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,000
I need to get back.

596
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,880
- Where do you work?
- I have an exam on Monday.

597
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,320
- What, CFA?
- No.

598
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:00,680
GCSE.

599
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:05,160
No. What, you're 16?

600
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,360
No, 15.

601
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,040
I have to get back for chapel.

602
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:39,800
- <i>Hello.</i>
- Hey, hi.

603
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,000
I just wanted to say
I was totally out of line.

604
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,400
<i>Yeah, it's cool. It's cool.</i>

605
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:48,280
- <i>Yeah, it's cool.</i>
- You okay?

606
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:49,920
<i>Yeah, yeah.</i>

607
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,360
I forgot my Xanax at home.

608
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:57,200
And my mate Pierre runs this company
connected to this doctor out of

609
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,680
<i>Mexico City who prescribes
medical psilocybin.</i>

610
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,480
<i>I've just taken a three-day dose.</i>

611
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,800
- What, now?
- <i>It's nicely on top of proceedings.</i>

612
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,960
It's fully integrated into my daily life.
It's non-visual.

613
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,320
I feel a tremendous sense of peace.

614
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,920
- Where are you?
- <i>Lumi.</i>

615
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:19,920
I've locked myself in the disabled loos.

616
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,560
Has he lost his mind?
What's he doing in there?

617
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,960
So, I think he's--
You know, I think he's hiding.

618
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:26,920
You know, like... like hiding out?

619
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,440
Well, the market's chattering
about where the fuck he is.

620
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,120
People think he's been replaced.
We need to make him visible.

621
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,560
Well, what can I say? I think his,
you know, mechanism's gone.

622
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:36,640
I have an idea how to turn this around.

623
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,440
We need to get him across London
before the close.

624
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:41,480
Yas, I don't know what you want me to do.

625
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:42,920
The guy's locked himself
in a fucking khazi.

626
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,000
Just meet me at Lumi in 30 minutes.

627
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,280
You good? You okay?

628
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,400
Yeah, yeah, I'm good.
Why wouldn't I be? You?

629
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,120
I am hanging out my ass.

630
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,520
Right, well, I recommend
a cheese sandwich

631
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,280
and a really grubby wank.

632
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,760
I'm pretty sure this thing's closing down.

633
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,760
Do they have any pubs
at the bottom of the Thames?

634
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,440
Anraj, call this number.
It's a gentlemen's club.

635
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:09,760
Ask for Gregory Clark.

636
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:11,720
When they ask you
what the message is, hang up.

637
00:34:11,720 --> 00:34:13,040
Say less.

638
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:14,680
...fucking agony.

639
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:18,200
Does anyone know what happens
if you crush and snort ibuprofen?

640
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,880
- I'm looking for any relief I can get.
- Yeah, hi.

641
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,400
I'd like to leave a message
for Mr. Gregory Clark.

642
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:26,320
Yeah, thanks.

643
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,160
I deserve a Victoria Cross
for doing this shit on a hangover.

644
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:34,320
Hi, I'm calling from Otto Mostyn's office.
I have an urgent message for Mr. Mostyn.

645
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,040
Could you perhaps pass it on?

646
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,080
- What did they say?
- They asked for the message.

647
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:42,120
Okay.

648
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:43,880
Any idea what the fuck is happening?

649
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,560
They're both there.
I need to get off the desk.

650
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,000
- You're joking?
- I... I need to...

651
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:52,680
I'm going to manage the CEO.

652
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,920
<i>...inflation at 4.5%.</i>

653
00:34:58,240 --> 00:35:00,160
Look, nobody knows, okay?

654
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:02,600
Just us, just us three.

655
00:35:02,720 --> 00:35:06,280
- So, please, open the door.
- Of course, they know.

656
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,040
They think I'm a fucking coward.

657
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:11,520
We're the only people that know
that you're here, okay?

658
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:15,680
But you need to open the door
so that we can change the narrative.

659
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:20,280
I'm not coming out.

660
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:23,080
Henry, if you don't open this door,

661
00:35:23,720 --> 00:35:26,240
it's all over. Do you understand that?
It's done.

662
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:28,640
It's finished, it's all gone.

663
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,320
Respect the years of work
that you've done.

664
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:35,000
- It's a sunk cost.
- No, it's not, okay? It's...

665
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:41,040
Henry.

666
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,640
Henry, open the door for me, please.

667
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:50,080
Be polite.

668
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:53,520
Look me in the eye.

669
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,680
- Let me go in on my own.
- Are you sure?

670
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:03,480
You said he makes you uncomfortable.

671
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:05,440
I'm a big girl.

672
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:07,720
But thank you.

673
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,560
- Gentlemen only, madam.
- Fine.

674
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,480
- Sir Henry, nice to see you.
- Paul, hi.

675
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,360
Just make sure
you all come out together, okay?

676
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:53,720
Are you sure this is gonna work?

677
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,000
This whole thing
almost fell apart on a rumor,

678
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,080
there's no reason
it can't come together on one.

679
00:36:58,280 --> 00:36:59,360
Sure.

680
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:07,480
Hi.

681
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:10,440
Yeah, I have a tip.

682
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:14,800
I just saw Charles Hanani's daughter,
Yasmin, on St. James Street.

683
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:19,280
Braverman really is...

684
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:20,360
Otto!

685
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:21,640
...ghastly, isn't she?

686
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,400
Thought I could hear
some proto-fascist warblings!

687
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:26,440
Oh, my boy.

688
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:29,760
We were just toasting
your tectonic failure.

689
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,880
You've met Gregory Clark
from British Electric?

690
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:34,040
Yeah, yeah.

691
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,920
He's bid more times for my company
than is becoming, really.

692
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,520
I'm a huge admirer, Sir Henry,
of what you've built,

693
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:42,760
but I wonder if history
will vindicate our decision

694
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:44,600
to step away from negotiations.

695
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:48,160
Gregory, with respect,
we were never at the negotiation table.

696
00:37:49,240 --> 00:37:53,080
Well, at 4:30, we shall see

697
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:57,600
if Hal's folly has made any money,
or whether I have to relegate him

698
00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:59,960
from the premiership of my godchildren.

699
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:03,160
Or claim his success simply
as wisdom inherited from you.

700
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:08,760
I suggest that you reacquaint yourself
with the club rules and bylaws.

701
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,520
"All bitches must wear a muzzle."

702
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,560
The whole Conservative Party
is a geriatric suicide cult...

703
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:17,000
Otto Mostyn.

704
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:19,680
- Robert Spearing.
- ...although I suppose I will.

705
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,040
Sit down, sit down.

706
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:27,600
Gregory's desperate to become a member.

707
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:29,480
Well, I'd be happy to propose you.

708
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:30,640
Although, I think membership here

709
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:32,440
might be a bit of a slur
on your character.

710
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:36,600
I think there might still be a couple
of legacy Blackshirts on the committee.

711
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:38,320
Joking.

712
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:40,720
His father was chairman.

713
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,800
I said that I would blackball Gregory

714
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,520
if he didn't give me the skinny
on their Q3 earnings.

715
00:38:47,720 --> 00:38:49,680
I need a trip to the boys' room,
excuse me.

716
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:51,520
Well, I'm not hanging around.

717
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:53,680
What the hell are you doing?

718
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,320
Trust me. I've just been in the traps,

719
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,400
and let's just say some old codger
has had a lot of grouse for lunch.

720
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:00,760
- It's unsanitary.
- What?

721
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,440
The lobster vol-au-vent
has a real habit of repeating on me.

722
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:10,800
Gentlemen.

723
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,600
I trust the club provided a sanctuary

724
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,360
for you to do your best big-brained,
men's-only thinking.

725
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:17,800
Hi, I'm Yasmin.

726
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:20,040
Hello, mate.

727
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,400
Could you do me a favor
and just fuck off back that way?

728
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:23,480
Cheers.

729
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:25,960
Gregory, this is the Hanani girl.

730
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,120
Yeah, that's me.

731
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:30,080
The Hanani girl.

732
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:32,560
Good to see you, Gregory.

733
00:39:33,240 --> 00:39:34,360
Good to see you.

734
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:42,960
Where are my statins?

735
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,280
Another day we can chalk up
as being the right side of the market.

736
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:47,760
What was the final P&L?

737
00:39:48,240 --> 00:39:49,760
Do you want me to say it, Rish?

738
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,960
What do you mean, want you to say it?
You're the fucking junior trader.

739
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:57,440
You do the P&Ls,
so if he asked you a question, answer it.

740
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,320
- Rishi's book--
- We-- My book was flat on the day.

741
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:02,800
How is that possible?
You still long Sterling?

742
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:06,520
We finished flattish.
No profit, no loss, so...

743
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,760
- Is there something we need to discuss?
- Flat's the new up.

744
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:11,160
It's got nothing to do with Lumi.

745
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:13,560
We were entrusted
with the company's safe launch,

746
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:15,800
and we delivered a safe launch,
brand enhancing.

747
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,120
At least cosmetically, right?

748
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:20,160
Perception is reality.

749
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:22,880
How did nepo baby get on?

750
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,600
She... she connected the right people.

751
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:31,080
Good work, team.

752
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:34,080
<i>Bien joué,</i> as the French say.

753
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:35,680
<i>Merci beaucoup,</i> sir.

754
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:37,800
Glad to see you're settling in.

755
00:40:41,720 --> 00:40:44,880
Well done! Help yourselves.

756
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:48,240
Congrats.

757
00:40:57,960 --> 00:40:59,520
To Lumi closing up!

758
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:03,280
Otto Mostyn called for you.

759
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:05,280
I took a message.

760
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:08,880
Some bullshit in Italian
I didn't understand,

761
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:10,040
or write down.

762
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:17,400
Yeah.

763
00:41:17,720 --> 00:41:19,320
I think he made a lot of money today.

764
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:23,880
Do you know what was behind
the rally into the close?

765
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:28,480
Early trading kinks ironed out,
US appetite,

766
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:32,640
and some acquisition gossip

767
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:38,960
that seems to have caused a re-evaluation
of Lumi's fundamentals

768
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:40,160
at the eleventh hour.

769
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:43,240
I...

770
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:46,160
I brokered that meeting.

771
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:49,320
Why did you do that?

772
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:55,640
Well, I wanted to give Lumi any help
I could into the close.

773
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,840
You're not solipsistic enough
to think it was just you, are you?

774
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:00,720
It was me.

775
00:42:00,720 --> 00:42:03,600
I'm guessing
a random power cut was you, too?

776
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,920
I was giving you an opportunity
to diminish your responsibility.

777
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:13,880
I saw the gossip piece of you cozying up

778
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:19,080
to those titans of industry
who also happen to be our clients.

779
00:42:20,240 --> 00:42:22,040
It's market manipulation.

780
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:27,320
Is it? I mean, you're the one that said
this business is people and perception.

781
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:31,920
All I did was use my skill set
to connect people and,

782
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:33,440
yeah, let people perceive.

783
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,400
I have a laundry list of blind spots.

784
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:39,440
Forgive me, I'm a human being,
but ethics in this business?

785
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:40,960
I'm 20-20.

786
00:42:42,240 --> 00:42:44,840
Harper led me to believe
that you value ingenuity.

787
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,840
It was a naive thing to do.
I don't care about the outcome.

788
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:51,960
You don't have to compromise

789
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:55,320
or degrade yourself
to prove your value to me.

790
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:59,720
I don't have to tell you what happens
to the people on this desk

791
00:42:59,720 --> 00:43:01,800
who don't understand
the concept of a red line.

792
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,560
Why don't you just talk to me
how you talked to me last night?

793
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:10,480
You know, like I'm a human being.

794
00:43:18,720 --> 00:43:19,680
Okay.

795
00:43:23,720 --> 00:43:24,680
Okay.

796
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:41,080
There he is.

797
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:43,040
There she is.

798
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:55,320
Hello.

799
00:43:58,040 --> 00:43:59,160
This is she.

800
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:04,000
I'm pretty tired. I don't know
if I have the energy

801
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:05,920
to come and meet you now.

802
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:18,320
That's very inappropriate.
I shouldn't laugh at that.

803
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:20,920
Like, she knows
that I can't say no, you know?

804
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:22,080
Like, we're office friends,

805
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,160
but we don't have
to have a relationship at 6:00 p.m.

806
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:26,040
on a weekday,
do you know what I mean?

807
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:30,440
- Hi!
- Hello.

808
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:32,800
- We thought everyone had gone.
- No.

809
00:44:33,720 --> 00:44:35,000
Is that sustainable?

810
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:38,440
Yeah, actually, it is.

811
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:43,000
This is woke coke.
So, the vials are perishable,

812
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,880
and the supply chain leads
to a family-owned boutique

813
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:47,720
cocoa farm just outside Lima.

814
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:49,880
Wow, really?

815
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:51,960
No, not really.

816
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:54,880
This is just your gribbly
three-for-a-hundred stuff.

817
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:57,760
Get an Addi Lee on FutureDawn.

818
00:44:57,920 --> 00:44:59,680
Guy Gerber's playing
at jungle bar at 'Bels.

819
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:01,040
Anna has a plus-four.

820
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:06,720
Harper!

821
00:45:10,240 --> 00:45:11,920
- Walk me to my car?
- Yes.

822
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:19,840
- What do you think of the Eagles?
- Are they a football team?

823
00:45:21,240 --> 00:45:24,320
I wanted you to know that I'm starting
to consider other offers.

824
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:27,000
What's your next move?

825
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,960
Well, there's a few interested parties
sniffing around.

826
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:32,920
Lumi working
is really only a temporary reprieve.

827
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:34,840
Anna's misjudgments
haven't sullied me yet.

828
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:36,800
I can still point to my own book.

829
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:40,360
Anna hates that I drive this.

830
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:45,640
Obviously, she wants one herself.
But her personal brand won't allow it.

831
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,280
Maybe you should
consider working for yourself.

832
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:53,640
Yeah, well, marketing's never
really been my strong suit.

833
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:57,320
You know...

834
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:00,080
I want to work with someone

835
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:03,840
whose thinking isn't confined
to the orthodoxy of our times.

836
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:07,240
Someone who doesn't wanna be
cosseted by an institution,

837
00:46:07,240 --> 00:46:10,760
but who wants to build their own.
Anna stymies debate.

838
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:14,760
But I'm a fan of the dialectic.

839
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:20,920
I don't think there's one true way
of doing anything.

840
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:23,880
I think there are people...

841
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:28,480
circumstances, and opportunity. That's it.

842
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:34,080
How did you get such a favorable CDS price
out of that Pierpoint trader?

843
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:37,320
He was junior, a bit green.

844
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:40,720
But the kicker is I did have inside edge.

845
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:44,480
Pierpoint don't provide live prices

846
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:47,440
for their oil and natgas graphs
for juniors, so...

847
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,440
he was always pricing
15 minutes behind us.

848
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:57,760
We don't need to cheat.

849
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:01,760
We just need
to be better than everyone else.

850
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:07,760
Look, there's nothing cruel
or inhuman about rational selfishness,

851
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:10,840
but I don't like how much pleasure
you just gleaned from telling me that.

852
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:16,920
You need to leave whatever
personal animus you have

853
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:19,040
against your former employer at the door.

854
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:21,560
Set fire to it, okay?

855
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:34,920
And by the way,

856
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:37,320
I know you didn't graduate.

857
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,760
You know, I'm starting to think
that higher education is a bubble.

858
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:47,400
Night.

859
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:02,800
Welcome. Can I take your coat?

860
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:05,080
- Yes, please. I'm just over there.
- Sure.

861
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:06,240
Thank you.

862
00:48:06,240 --> 00:48:07,760
Him and Brett and Fred, I'd say.

863
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,520
So, I'm guessing
the board didn't replace you then.

864
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:13,680
Saved by the price.

865
00:48:19,240 --> 00:48:21,200
Did you invite me here to watch you eat?

866
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:23,480
No.

867
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:26,520
I invited you here to seduce you.

868
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:29,480
How did you get my number?

869
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:32,280
I don't know if you know, but my...

870
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:35,960
my uncle owns a few newspapers.

871
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:38,960
I've had the turbot here before.
It's genuinely excellent...

872
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:40,720
My dad would have enjoyed this.

873
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:43,160
He used to say to me...

874
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:46,560
"You're born with a silver spoon
in your mouth."

875
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:48,640
"People are gonna assume
you're an idiot."

876
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:56,000
"Pathetic, attention-seeking whore."

877
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:00,680
- Excuse me?
-"I don't blame her

878
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:02,080
for the sins of her father."

879
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:06,480
"She's unbelievable."

880
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:11,000
That last one's
the only one I agree with, naturally.

881
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:16,160
I assume you've been...

882
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:20,320
refreshing the comments
on your article like a lunatic.

883
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:25,000
They may have crossed my mind.

884
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:30,200
Have another look.

885
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:44,160
I had a word with my uncle.

886
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:48,840
Nobody is ever gonna see that image again.

887
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:38,160
Look at me.

888
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:43,400
Now, look at you.

889
00:50:50,240 --> 00:50:52,480
That's why this is never gonna happen.

890
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:09,000
<i>Excusez-moi, madame.</i>
The gentleman has paid the bill.

891
00:52:09,240 --> 00:52:12,200
He left you a bottle of wine
he brought himself.

892
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:17,440
Sorry if I'm overstepping,
but I didn't know

893
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:21,200
there was a bottle
of this particular vintage in the UK.

894
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:26,880
Do you have a bottle opener?

895
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:30,760
No, madame. You don't drink this.

896
00:52:55,920 --> 00:52:57,800
I'm sorry you saw me like that.

897
00:52:59,720 --> 00:53:00,840
It's appalling.

898
00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:04,440
How am I supposed to sleep
in that bed now?

899
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:09,120
Is that your new kink?

900
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:12,320
It's not enough for you to fuck people up
when they're outside of the womb.

901
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:14,480
You've got to fuck them up
when they're in there as well.

902
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:18,520
Why did you make me come here?

903
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:21,880
You're just trying to fucking torture me.

904
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:26,680
I have needed to tell you something.

905
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:33,160
I've run out of rope, okay?

906
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:35,320
What do you mean?

907
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:37,480
- Oh, Mina.
- No, no.

908
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:40,560
Don't do that fucking
self-loathing shtick with me.

909
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:42,280
It's nauseating. What?

910
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:48,880
If I go back to London...

911
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:54,120
I'll have to face criminal proceedings,
all right?

912
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:59,200
Potentially with ruinous
financial implications--

913
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:01,160
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Don't tell me this.

914
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:04,360
Why are you telling me this?
What, you want to implicate me?

915
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:06,440
The kindest thing you can do
for me right now

916
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:09,640
is to turn this fucking boat around,
shut up, let me go home.

917
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:11,960
You came here.

918
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:14,560
You love me.

919
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:17,200
- You can't help but love me.
- Shut up!

920
00:54:19,240 --> 00:54:21,920
- You fucking--
- Fucking dare--

921
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:24,000
Fuck!

922
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:27,040
No, you know what?

923
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:30,680
Everyone thinks you are a useless,
pathetic, thick cunt.

924
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:34,480
You've done nothing with your life.
Everyone knows it, everyone--

925
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:42,440
Yeah, and you'll still come home to me.

926
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:46,320
Again, and again, and again.

927
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:13,440
You need to stop crying.

928
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:17,240
Hi, sorry. I've been looking for you.

929
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:19,120
Yeah, we were having,

930
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:21,520
what you would say,
a session in our room.

931
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:24,720
Yeah, a sesh. Like, a session, yeah.

932
00:55:24,720 --> 00:55:25,960
<i>Vale.</i>

933
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:29,120
I just wanted to apologize
for what you may have seen.

934
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:31,840
- Your father and I have a very--
- It's okay. It's okay.

935
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:34,720
I know exactly what my dad is like.

936
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:35,880
<i>Bueno.</i>
