00:28:26,830 --> 00:28:29,249
I'm so-- I'm sorry.
I didn't want to disturb you.
513
00:28:29,332 --> 00:28:31,709
Um. I just didn't know
who to come to.
514
00:28:31,793 --> 00:28:34,003
Uh. I didn't want to go
to Kenny first
515
00:28:34,087 --> 00:28:36,172
and Jackie's
not exactly approachable.
516
00:28:36,256 --> 00:28:38,383
Can we go somewhere
more private?
517
00:28:39,968 --> 00:28:42,053
YASMIN: I can't.
I have to be in this meeting.
518
00:28:43,555 --> 00:28:46,683
I went to dinner with Robert
and this client...
519
00:28:47,892 --> 00:28:51,062
and after dinner,
she offered me a lift home...
520
00:28:52,063 --> 00:28:53,064
and...
521
00:28:55,191 --> 00:28:57,986
uh, she sexually assaulted me.
522
00:28:59,988 --> 00:29:01,906
-"She"?
-VENETIA: Yeah, she.
523
00:29:05,034 --> 00:29:06,327
Right this way, gentleman.
524
00:29:09,330 --> 00:29:10,915
Hmm.

-YASMIN: Are you okay?
526
00:29:14,085 --> 00:29:16,796
I'm fine. Yeah. It's fine.
527
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,174
I stopped it
before it could go too far.
528
00:29:19,257 --> 00:29:22,552
But it just feels
like something that shouldn't go
529
00:29:22,635 --> 00:29:25,346
unsaid or unreported.
530
00:29:26,764 --> 00:29:28,600
And you're sure
it was an assault?
531
00:29:29,225 --> 00:29:30,268
Just, you know...
532
00:29:31,227 --> 00:29:34,230
"assault"
is, uh, a sliding scale.
533
00:29:34,314 --> 00:29:37,942
-Especially if you stopped it.
-Oh-- Oh, I don't think it is.
534
00:29:40,487 --> 00:29:44,115
Well, just, if it was a sort
of drunken pass?
535
00:29:44,199 --> 00:29:46,451
-I mean, we've all been there.
-(CHUCKLES)
536
00:29:46,534 --> 00:29:49,037
She tried to put her hand
between my legs.
537
00:29:49,954 --> 00:29:51,080
YASMIN: I don't know.
538
00:29:51,164 --> 00:29:53,666
If I was to call
every unsolicited advance
539
00:29:53,750 --> 00:29:55,460
“sexual assault,” I mean...
540
00:29:56,711 --> 00:29:59,506
I was assaulted yesterday
by that metric.
541
00:29:59,589 --> 00:30:00,632
You were?
542
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,178
(EXHALES) Is she a big client?
543
00:30:06,179 --> 00:30:08,014
Yeah.
544
00:30:08,097 --> 00:30:10,600
YASMIN: Do you ever have
to see her again?
545
00:30:11,893 --> 00:30:13,353
I don't know.
546
00:30:13,436 --> 00:30:15,563
Look, RIF is
right around the corner.
547
00:30:15,647 --> 00:30:17,357
I think there's your answer.
548
00:30:18,358 --> 00:30:20,818
Look, cynically,
this might even help you.
549
00:30:25,949 --> 00:30:28,159
You strike me as pragmatic.

00:30:57,981 --> 00:30:59,190
I'll let you catch up.

about prices of things

based on people's fear
and greed,
568
00:31:21,963 --> 00:31:26,301
I think it genuinely might be
one of the most asinine ways
569

of spending your hours on Earth.
570

It was you, buddy.
572
00:31:41,691 --> 00:31:45,903
You made me feel like I could
achieve something on my own.
573
00:31:45,987 --> 00:31:49,365
You did a pretty convincing job
of pretending not to care.

I don't really know
what the protocols
600

around this stuff are,
but since we're

we chatted a bit. They got on.

And I wasn't drinking,
613
00:34:06,836 --> 00:34:10,673
so I left them to finish up,
and told Ven to pay the bill.
614
00:34:10,757 --> 00:34:13,384
And then, when I went back
they were gone.
615
00:34:13,468 --> 00:34:14,886
Why did you go back?
616
00:34:16,012 --> 00:34:17,180

How's that possible for a grad?
619

I gave her mine.
620
00:34:28,941 --> 00:34:32,111
So, you must have had
your wallet in hand as you left,
621
00:34:32,195 --> 00:34:34,530

622
00:34:39,535 --> 00:34:40,828

not an in-house,

he's hemorrhaging money on.
683
00:37:53,729 --> 00:37:56,065
He calls
for our desk's council nonstop.
684
00:37:57,066 --> 00:37:58,943
We're a team here, you see.
685
00:38:00,403 --> 00:38:02,989
He's still running it?
He hasn't stopped out yet?
686
00:38:03,072 --> 00:38:06,617
Oh, you work here already,
do you? (CHUCKLES)
687
00:38:06,701 --> 00:38:08,536
Doug, I didn't know
we were adding
688
00:38:08,619 --> 00:38:10,705
to our
Senior Relationship Managers?
689
00:38:10,788 --> 00:38:12,790
Didn't they send you
upstairs, Eric?
690
00:38:12,873 --> 00:38:15,876
Gotta cut to the mustard. Uh.
Truth be told,
691
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:19,880
you're kinda helping us
materially
692
00:38:19,964 --> 00:38:22,883
just by being in the room now.
693
00:38:22,967 --> 00:38:27,430
We've been in negotiations
with a competitor's CPS team
694
00:38:27,513 --> 00:38:30,725
for months.
Let's call them Shogun.
695
00:38:32,268 --> 00:38:33,978
Is that problematic? I hope not.
696
00:38:34,061 --> 00:38:37,231
They've been chasing us
on terms. Inviting you here,
697
00:38:37,315 --> 00:38:40,192
well, we kinda knew
they'd get wind of it.
698
00:38:41,485 --> 00:38:44,572
Hopefully, this will
spook them into signing.
699
00:38:44,655 --> 00:38:47,700
Daria's going to run
that team for us.
700
00:38:47,783 --> 00:38:50,453
Frankly, we're tickled pink
at the prospect.
701
00:38:52,663 --> 00:38:56,459
I'm sure another opportunity
to collaborate
702
00:38:56,542 --> 00:38:59,253
is just around the corner
for me and you.
703
00:39:01,338 --> 00:39:02,381
(CHUCKLES)
704
00:39:03,632 --> 00:39:04,925
What did-- what did I ever do
705
00:39:05,009 --> 00:39:06,802
for you to fuck me
like this, Doug?
706
00:39:08,679 --> 00:39:12,058
If the roles were reversed,
I'd applaud.
707
00:39:13,059 --> 00:39:14,101
So should you.
708
00:39:19,231 --> 00:39:22,610
Touché, you fucking prick.
709
00:39:22,693 --> 00:39:25,905
DARIA: Um, no need
for handbags, gentlemen.
710
00:39:25,988 --> 00:39:28,365
You know the rough and tumble
of this business.
711
00:39:29,658 --> 00:39:31,952
DOUGLAS: Anything else
you wanted from these three?
712
00:39:33,537 --> 00:39:34,538
No.
713
00:39:35,498 --> 00:39:36,665
Got everything I need.
714
00:39:50,221 --> 00:39:52,431
Didn't know you were a smoker.
715
00:39:52,515 --> 00:39:54,266
Yeah, I nicked them
from Harper's desk.
716
00:40:11,367 --> 00:40:12,409
I'm sorry...
717
00:40:13,911 --> 00:40:15,121
about whatever happened.
718
00:40:17,665 --> 00:40:20,417
I think I overreacted
bringing it up.
719
00:40:21,585 --> 00:40:23,337
I feel fucking stupid.
720
00:40:23,420 --> 00:40:27,591
And to be honest, I have no idea
how to feel about it now.
721
00:40:27,675 --> 00:40:30,010
ROBERT: Well,
I don't think you overreacted.
722
00:40:30,094 --> 00:40:32,096
I'm surprised they've let you
out of the room.
723
00:40:32,179 --> 00:40:34,849
VENETIA: Yeah.
They don't have the protocols
724
00:40:34,932 --> 00:40:36,308
in place to deal with it.
725
00:40:37,685 --> 00:40:39,353
Yeah.
726
00:40:39,436 --> 00:40:41,605
There's a bit
of a leadership vacuum, I think.
727
00:40:44,442 --> 00:40:45,484
I think you knew.
728
00:40:48,070 --> 00:40:50,531
-Excuse me?
-You heard me.
729
00:40:52,032 --> 00:40:53,951
You don't have
a normal relationship
730
00:40:54,034 --> 00:40:56,370
with that woman.
The way you spoke to each other.
731
00:40:56,453 --> 00:40:57,496
I cover her.
732
00:40:58,622 --> 00:41:00,457
That's a deeply
personal relationship
733
00:41:00,541 --> 00:41:01,584
when it's successful.
734
00:41:02,918 --> 00:41:04,712
-You're projecting.
-VENETIA: Bullshit.
735
00:41:04,795 --> 00:41:07,715
She spoke to you
like you were...
736
00:41:07,798 --> 00:41:11,719
-her toy, just a plaything.
-ROBERT: So did you.
737
00:41:15,014 --> 00:41:16,765
Look, I'm so sorry that...
738
00:41:19,727 --> 00:41:20,936
that that happened to you.
739
00:41:22,229 --> 00:41:23,230
VENETIA: It's okay.
740
00:41:24,273 --> 00:41:26,025
You weren't to know, right?
741
00:41:28,110 --> 00:41:29,278
I mean, it's not like
you sent me
742
00:41:29,361 --> 00:41:31,572
a concerned voice-note
or anything.
743
00:41:37,036 --> 00:41:38,829
KENNY: Let's run it up
the chain first,
744
00:41:38,913 --> 00:41:41,707
get a bit of a steer then we can
see if we need to involve HR.
745
00:41:41,790 --> 00:41:43,417
-DVD: I'll do it right now.
-KENNY: Grand.
746
00:41:43,500 --> 00:41:44,710
Great. Thanks.
747
00:41:44,793 --> 00:41:46,420
Where the fuck is Rishi
by the way?
748
00:41:47,546 --> 00:41:49,048
Uh. Dentist, he said.
749
00:41:49,131 --> 00:41:52,176
-Or hygienist.
-Again? What-- what has he got,
750
00:41:52,259 --> 00:41:53,427
a fucking abscess?
751
00:41:55,471 --> 00:41:57,431
-I need to talk to you.
-DVD: Look, man, can it wait?
752
00:41:57,514 --> 00:41:58,933
This day is just evaporating
before my eyes.
753
00:41:59,016 --> 00:42:01,602
-I'm meeting with Adler in five.
-No. I lied earlier.
754
00:42:02,186 --> 00:42:03,187
DVD: Once again.
755
00:42:04,063 --> 00:42:05,606
I lied about Nicole.
756
00:42:05,689 --> 00:42:07,733
We had a sexual relationship.
757
00:42:07,816 --> 00:42:11,403
Woah, man. That's very thorny.
You, uh, you sure?
758
00:42:11,487 --> 00:42:12,571
What do you mean, am I sure?
759
00:42:12,655 --> 00:42:14,281
No idea why I said that,
my brain is fucking fritzed.
760
00:42:14,365 --> 00:42:15,866
Are you a mad man?
Out of all the women?
761
00:42:15,950 --> 00:42:17,534
What do you mean,
"of all the women"?
762
00:42:17,618 --> 00:42:19,411
We-- we worked together,
it became intimate.
Is it really that strange?
763
00:42:19,495 --> 00:42:20,746
No. It's deeply naïve
and unprofessional.
764
00:42:20,829 --> 00:42:22,957
That behavior will
always blow back in your face.
765
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:24,792
You know, that's the kinda shit
you have to disclose
766
00:42:24,875 --> 00:42:25,960
to the regulators, right?
767
00:42:26,043 --> 00:42:28,420
I'm-- I'm correctly assuming
it was consensual?
768
00:42:29,672 --> 00:42:30,881
-Correct.
-(EXHALES)
769
00:42:30,965 --> 00:42:32,383
I feel like it's an added
complication that doesn't help
770
00:42:32,466 --> 00:42:34,301
with this morning's events.
It-- it muddles the picture.
771
00:42:34,385 --> 00:42:35,678
Where-- where is
our fucking head trader?
772
00:42:35,761 --> 00:42:36,971
I have fifty clients
wanting prices.
773
00:42:37,054 --> 00:42:38,430
-I know it's a pattern
of behavior.
-What is?
774
00:42:38,514 --> 00:42:40,224
-Rishi's fucking dental work?
-No. Nicole.
775
00:42:44,061 --> 00:42:45,813
Now, I don't know the details,
776
00:42:45,896 --> 00:42:49,149
but I know something happened
to Harper when we first joined.
777
00:42:50,985 --> 00:42:53,320
Wait, you serious?
She told you that?
778
00:42:54,029 --> 00:42:55,197
All but. Yeah.
779
00:42:58,367 --> 00:43:00,286
Fuck. She been holding
that in the whole time?
780
00:43:04,206 --> 00:43:05,207
Jesus.
781
00:43:11,130 --> 00:43:14,008
ADLER: Why are you involving me
in something so low-level?
782
00:43:14,091 --> 00:43:16,260
This doesn't say much
for our duty of care
783
00:43:16,343 --> 00:43:18,637
if this shit's happening
to grads.
784
00:43:19,555 --> 00:43:20,848
Well if you wanna manage,
785
00:43:20,931 --> 00:43:23,892
then make management decisions.
Take a course of action.
786
00:43:23,976 --> 00:43:25,394
If you'd thought I was ready
for management,
787
00:43:25,477 --> 00:43:27,771
then you might've promoted me
as promised.
788
00:43:27,855 --> 00:43:29,690
(CHUCKLES) I'm sorry,
789
00:43:29,773 --> 00:43:31,692
is this about you
or about the new hire?
790
00:43:33,402 --> 00:43:36,989
Uh. I'm worried it's a pattern.
791
00:43:37,072 --> 00:43:39,950
The client did the same thing
to Harper Stern on our desk.
792
00:43:42,578 --> 00:43:45,372
(SIGHS) That kid prints
a tonne of biz.
793
00:43:47,541 --> 00:43:48,542
You close?
794
00:43:51,086 --> 00:43:52,296
No.
795
00:43:52,379 --> 00:43:54,048
I just suspended her
796
00:43:54,131 --> 00:43:56,216
for fucking up
one of our trader's books.
797
00:43:58,135 --> 00:44:00,054
Well, I still want
her business in New York,
798
00:44:00,137 --> 00:44:01,221
but I don't want her
799
00:44:01,305 --> 00:44:03,098
in another HR entanglement,
given her history.
800
00:44:03,182 --> 00:44:06,810
I-- I don't want more HR noise
anywhere on that floor.
801
00:44:08,896 --> 00:44:11,523
What I tend do
in these situations is,
802
00:44:11,607 --> 00:44:12,900
sit on them.
803
00:44:12,983 --> 00:44:14,651
You'd think they fester,
but in the aggregate,
804
00:44:14,735 --> 00:44:16,695
they just, you know,
they just go away.
805
00:44:18,906 --> 00:44:21,241
-So, you want me to bury it all?
-(ADLER SCOFFS)
806
00:44:23,118 --> 00:44:24,995
Let it bury itself.
807
00:44:26,121 --> 00:44:28,707
And Danny,
I've gotta put in face time
808
00:44:28,791 --> 00:44:31,585
with the new blood on RIF,
and fold London CPS
809
00:44:31,668 --> 00:44:33,629
with God knows
how many redundancies.
810
00:44:33,712 --> 00:44:35,464
I really don't have the minutes
in the day
811
00:44:35,547 --> 00:44:38,926
-for mosquitoes like this.
-All right. I'm sorry.
812
00:44:42,930 --> 00:44:44,556
TUTOR: Yeah, that's always
gratifying to see
813
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:45,974
my former students do so well.
814
00:44:46,058 --> 00:44:47,768
And the politics faculty
815
00:44:47,851 --> 00:44:50,646
talk about Aurore
more than is healthy. (CHUCKLES)
816
00:44:50,729 --> 00:44:53,732
Yeah, moderate, sensible,
conservatism.
817
00:44:53,816 --> 00:44:56,068
Something radical
in that I suppose.
818
00:44:56,151 --> 00:44:59,488
Yes, she was one of my ablest.
Do give her my very best.
819
00:44:59,571 --> 00:45:04,034
-How did you two connect then?
-Well, through mutual friend.
820
00:45:04,118 --> 00:45:05,744
TUTOR: Hmm.
821
00:45:05,828 --> 00:45:07,788
-GUS: So...
-(SAUCER CLANKING)
822
00:45:07,871 --> 00:45:10,290
...I know this chap,
just out of Eton,
823
00:45:10,374 --> 00:45:13,001
who was interviewing
for History & Politics.
824
00:45:13,085 --> 00:45:16,463
Sadly, he didn't quite make
the cut, but I just wanted to,
825
00:45:16,547 --> 00:45:18,841
you know, shine
a light on him. (CHUCKLES)
826
00:45:19,716 --> 00:45:20,717
Leo Bloom.
827
00:45:20,801 --> 00:45:22,219
You may have heard
of his father Jesse,
828
00:45:22,302 --> 00:45:24,221
-he runs Crotona Park Capital.
-TUTOR: Oh, yeah, yeah.
829
00:45:24,304 --> 00:45:26,765
Of course, yeah, he was all over
the news at one point, right?
830
00:45:26,849 --> 00:45:29,226
Profiteering off misery.
(CHUCKLES)
831
00:45:29,309 --> 00:45:30,727
Yes.
832
00:45:30,811 --> 00:45:34,815
Um. Well his son Leo
is really very smart.
833
00:45:35,524 --> 00:45:36,859
You'd like his energy.
834
00:45:36,942 --> 00:45:38,277
He's a... (FINGER SNAPS)
...quick study.
835
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:40,904
I-- I think you'd like spending
a few hours a week with him.
836
00:45:41,739 --> 00:45:43,240
So, I was just wondering
837
00:45:43,323 --> 00:45:44,867
if there was anything
we could, um...
838
00:45:45,826 --> 00:45:46,827
do?
839
00:45:48,328 --> 00:45:50,789
Uh. Do? (CHUCKLES)
840
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:53,167
As regards? (CHUCKLES)
841
00:45:54,877 --> 00:45:56,336
Bump him up the ladder.
842
00:45:56,420 --> 00:45:58,839
Find him a place in college
for next Michaelmas.
843
00:45:59,756 --> 00:46:01,550
-(CHUCKLES)
-(CHUCKLES)
844
00:46:02,509 --> 00:46:04,011
(HESITATES) I mean...
845
00:46:04,094 --> 00:46:07,347
Uh. Well, we're--
we're not really set up
846
00:46:07,431 --> 00:46:09,808
for that sort of thing.
847
00:46:09,892 --> 00:46:12,686
I've been thinking recently,
actually speaking to Aurore,
848
00:46:12,769 --> 00:46:14,396
about how important it is
for us to give back
849
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:16,982
to the institutions
that shape us.
850
00:46:17,065 --> 00:46:19,401
I thought perhaps there could
be some kind of conduit
851
00:46:19,485 --> 00:46:21,445
between the college
and the department.
852
00:46:21,528 --> 00:46:24,823
Maybe we could
make a parliamentary internship
853
00:46:24,907 --> 00:46:27,493
for one of the outgoing
PPE students.
854
00:46:28,744 --> 00:46:31,830
Uh. Well, it would be-- be great
855
00:46:31,914 --> 00:46:36,126
if-- if Aurore could come back
and speak to the finalists.
856
00:46:36,210 --> 00:46:39,755
We'd definitely be open
to starting those conversations.
857
00:46:39,838 --> 00:46:42,424
We only have six places for
History and Politics this year.
858
00:46:42,508 --> 00:46:43,884
Surely someone who'd love
859
00:46:43,967 --> 00:46:46,637
some potential work experience
in a minister's office.
860
00:46:46,720 --> 00:46:47,721
(CHUCKLES)
861
00:46:50,307 --> 00:46:51,517
Do you remember,
862
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:54,228
uh, Stiffy a few years
above you at school?
863
00:46:54,311 --> 00:46:57,731
I think he went back and taught
Mandarin and cricket,
864
00:46:57,814 --> 00:47:00,067
house cricket,
when you were in B block.
865
00:47:00,150 --> 00:47:01,360
I helped him out a bit
866
00:47:01,443 --> 00:47:03,320
with the application here.
Nothing underhand of course,
867
00:47:03,403 --> 00:47:04,738
just a little advice.
868
00:47:04,821 --> 00:47:08,742
Well, um, Stiffy minor
has just landed
869
00:47:08,826 --> 00:47:11,870
a place in this year's intake.
I could...
870
00:47:11,954 --> 00:47:14,331
speak to him
about a potential gap year.
871
00:47:14,915 --> 00:47:16,124
I mean,
872
00:47:16,208 --> 00:47:18,252
that will certainly put him
in a better position for life
873
00:47:18,335 --> 00:47:20,712
-post-degree.
-(CHUCKLES)
874
00:47:20,796 --> 00:47:23,423
And this Leo is intelligent?
875
00:47:23,507 --> 00:47:25,551
-Very.
-TUTOR: And he's an OE?
876
00:47:26,593 --> 00:47:29,304
-Yup.
-(CHUCKLES) He's one of us.
877
00:47:29,388 --> 00:47:32,099
-A "PLU". (CHUCKLES)
-(GUS CHUCKLING)
878
00:47:32,182 --> 00:47:34,184
TUTOR: I'm-- I'm sure
we can figure something out.
879
00:47:34,268 --> 00:47:37,855
Let me speak to,
um, Stiffy's father.
880
00:47:39,439 --> 00:47:41,233
I always had you pegged
for politics.
881

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
882
00:47:48,323 --> 00:47:50,409
You drink whisky
at a wake, right?
883
00:47:50,492 --> 00:47:51,493
(LAUGHS)
884
00:47:53,662 --> 00:47:55,205
RISHI: I just don't know, Eric.
885
00:47:57,499 --> 00:48:01,378
Know what? Uh.
Three more whiskeys. Doubles!
886
00:48:01,461 --> 00:48:02,754
RISHI: Why we brought you.
887
00:48:04,131 --> 00:48:05,716
You're fucking last mate,
honestly.
888
00:48:05,799 --> 00:48:06,967
HARPER: Don't talk
to him like that.
889
00:48:07,050 --> 00:48:08,302
Oh, you can fuck off and all.
890
00:48:08,385 --> 00:48:11,013
You're a total catastrophe.
I swear you're cursed.
891
00:48:14,641 --> 00:48:16,768
I'm gonna go back to the office.
Put my head down.
892
00:48:17,686 --> 00:48:20,230
We can't pretend
this didn't happen.
893
00:48:20,314 --> 00:48:24,276
Pierpoint finds out five minutes
from now or five minutes ago.
894
00:48:24,818 --> 00:48:26,236
Cat's voided bag.
895
00:48:27,279 --> 00:48:29,156
What about Credit Suisse...
896
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:32,284
JP Morgan, MS, Barclays?
We can still try those, no?
897
00:48:32,367 --> 00:48:36,038
Some cunt will hit a lazy bid
and have us, surely?
898
00:48:36,121 --> 00:48:39,916
The chatter from today
will materially hurt us.
899
00:48:40,834 --> 00:48:42,794
If I was at any of those places
900
00:48:42,878 --> 00:48:45,964
and was to pick up the phone
to our equivalents now...
901
00:48:47,090 --> 00:48:49,718
desperation reeks
like cheap cologne.
902
00:48:51,345 --> 00:48:53,764
Do I look like
a Duty-Free kind of guy to you?
903
00:48:53,847 --> 00:48:57,142
ERIC: They'd offer us
an insulting package.
904
00:48:57,809 --> 00:48:58,852
Rightly so.
905
00:49:02,314 --> 00:49:04,149
I need a slash
something terrible.

DVD: Harper, I'm glad I got you.
909
00:49:26,171 --> 00:49:27,547
Yeah, what's up?
910
00:49:27,631 --> 00:49:29,591
Uh. Just having
the day from hell.
911
00:49:30,133 --> 00:49:32,302
Um. Look...
912
00:49:32,386 --> 00:49:35,555
I-- I think I know why you are
the way you are with me at work.
913
00:49:36,723 --> 00:49:37,683
I know
914
00:49:37,766 --> 00:49:40,686
people in this business
have hurt you.
915
00:49:40,769 --> 00:49:43,438
I know you feel you haven't been
able to speak out.
916
00:49:43,522 --> 00:49:46,733
I'm getting a lot of pressure
from above to bury it myself...
917
00:49:46,817 --> 00:49:52,114
but I-- I know
it's-- it's a pattern now.
918
00:49:52,197 --> 00:49:55,242
It's the whole damn culture.
It's fucking Adler, man.
919
00:49:55,325 --> 00:49:59,830
-I feel a bit sick.
-(DOOR CREAKING)
920
00:50:05,127 --> 00:50:06,962
Okay. I hear you. Um...
921
00:50:08,046 --> 00:50:10,632
Could we have this conversation
in person?
922
00:50:10,716 --> 00:50:12,259
DVD: No,
I can't get off the desk.
923
00:50:12,342 --> 00:50:14,386
I'd really like to have
this conversation in person.
924
00:50:14,469 --> 00:50:17,389
Now. Drink.
Usual spot. Right now.
925
00:50:20,016 --> 00:50:22,394
DVD: Okay, just--
just give me a couple minutes.
926
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:57,637
News of our mutiny hit?
927
00:50:57,721 --> 00:50:59,139
HARPER: No,
it was something else.
928
00:51:01,266 --> 00:51:06,480
ERIC: How did we not know
the Yankees covered Bloom?
929
00:51:06,563 --> 00:51:11,443
We shouldn't have said
we "own" him. It was a lie.
930
00:51:11,526 --> 00:51:13,278
I did think
that he cut me loose,
931
00:51:13,361 --> 00:51:16,782
but, I mean, as ridiculous
as this sounds,
932
00:51:16,865 --> 00:51:19,618
the fact he hasn't stopped out
of that FastAide position
933
00:51:19,701 --> 00:51:21,828
means I'm still in his head.
934
00:51:21,912 --> 00:51:25,916
He's not the kinda guy who wants
anodyne, Daria-style,
935
00:51:25,999 --> 00:51:28,919
parrot of broker, no-coverage.
He wants edge.
936
00:51:31,671 --> 00:51:34,299
He wants someone who can say,
“I know for certain.”
937
00:51:43,975 --> 00:51:46,102
CELESTE: I think
that you're too good
938
00:51:46,186 --> 00:51:48,104
towards steady
income instruments.
939
00:51:48,188 --> 00:51:49,105
Too many bonds.
940
00:51:49,189 --> 00:51:51,566
And it would be fantastic
if it--
941
00:51:56,321 --> 00:51:59,157
I'm so sorry, um,
must be an emergency.
942
00:51:59,241 --> 00:52:01,034
Um. I'm so sorry.

CELESTE:
Sportswashing objectively works,

but buying a chunk
of Chelsea Football...

KENNY: I need to have
a serious word with you.
946
00:52:16,341 --> 00:52:19,719
Venetia told me that she came
to you with, uh, something
947
00:52:19,803 --> 00:52:23,974
very serious, and your response
was very disappointing.
948
00:52:24,057 --> 00:52:27,227
From the outside, it looks like
you were trying to silence her?
949
00:52:28,436 --> 00:52:30,230
You do realize the facts
950
00:52:30,313 --> 00:52:32,440
presented to me lead me
to that conclusion.
951
00:52:33,775 --> 00:52:36,236
It's the exact opposite
of pastoral care.
952
00:52:36,319 --> 00:52:38,363
It's not the culture
we're trying to engender here.
953
00:52:38,446 --> 00:52:39,781
Are you fucking kidding me?
954
00:52:41,783 --> 00:52:44,494
Can you hear yourself? (EXHALES)
955
00:52:44,578 --> 00:52:46,454
You gave up the right
to be the "custodian"
956
00:52:46,538 --> 00:52:47,747
of any kind of culture
957
00:52:47,831 --> 00:52:50,917
when you paid for a girl's tits
to be bounced in my face.
958
00:52:51,001 --> 00:52:53,628
Forgive me for thinking
you shouldn't be the arbiter
959
00:52:53,712 --> 00:52:55,380
of how young women
are treated on your desk.
960
00:52:55,463 --> 00:52:57,007
Yes, I'm worried
about how this looks for you--
961
00:52:57,090 --> 00:52:58,216
No. Shut the fuck up
for a minute.
962
00:52:58,300 --> 00:52:59,593
How dare you pull me out
of a meeting
963
00:52:59,676 --> 00:53:02,012
to speak to me like this?
You don't get to lecture me.
964
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:05,849
There's no high ground
for you anymore.
965
00:53:05,932 --> 00:53:07,309
I don't care
if you're sober, Kenny.
966
00:53:07,392 --> 00:53:09,019
You're still a cunt.
967
00:53:09,102 --> 00:53:10,770
That doesn't go away
with a few sessions
968
00:53:10,854 --> 00:53:11,897
with a bunch of other whingers.
969
00:53:11,980 --> 00:53:14,190
You don't have a disease,
you're a narcissist
970
00:53:14,274 --> 00:53:15,275
with a new excuse
971
00:53:15,358 --> 00:53:17,903
to lord it over people.
You're weak.
972
00:53:17,986 --> 00:53:19,237
In case
that wasn't crystal clear,
973
00:53:19,321 --> 00:53:21,406
no, I will not come
to your fucking meetings.
974
00:53:21,489 --> 00:53:23,408
No, sorry, you're right.
You're-- you're right.
975
00:53:37,172 --> 00:53:39,883
RISHI: Daniel. We're just, uh...
(CHUCKLES)
976
00:53:39,966 --> 00:53:43,261
We're just having
a couple of sneaky
on-the-clock sharpeners.
977
00:53:43,345 --> 00:53:47,182
-What the fuck's going on?
-Beats me.
978
00:53:49,017 --> 00:53:50,060
I asked him to come.
979
00:53:52,354 --> 00:53:53,355
You...
980
00:53:54,731 --> 00:53:55,732
What?
981
00:53:56,524 --> 00:53:57,943
HARPER: Danny, have a seat.
982
00:54:04,950 --> 00:54:07,243
Very soon it will be
common market knowledge
983
00:54:07,327 --> 00:54:10,288
that we've been taking
meetings away all day.
984
00:54:12,207 --> 00:54:13,208
(CHUCKLES)
985
00:54:19,089 --> 00:54:22,342
-Fuck you.
-Not fuck us. No.
986
00:54:22,425 --> 00:54:24,302
There is an opportunity here.
987
00:54:24,386 --> 00:54:27,931
A huge competitor has just
gutted a rival's CPS offering.
988
00:54:28,014 --> 00:54:30,350
There's a gap
to fill out the gutted firm.
989
00:54:30,433 --> 00:54:32,811
We're fixing a supply issue.
990
00:54:33,770 --> 00:54:35,480
Now, the way I see this is...
991
00:54:36,940 --> 00:54:38,900
you know how quickly
the clock ticks
992
00:54:38,984 --> 00:54:40,986
when you flirting
with a competitor.
993
00:54:41,069 --> 00:54:46,116
We need to secure this now.
We have hours. Not days.
994
00:54:47,534 --> 00:54:50,620
You can tell Adler,
stay at his heel.
995
00:54:51,705 --> 00:54:53,623
Or you can join us...
996
00:54:54,582 --> 00:54:56,126
and take what was denied to you.
997
00:54:58,211 --> 00:55:04,342
I can see Bill's POV.
Why promote a blind acolyte...
998
00:55:04,426 --> 00:55:08,138
when he can get you to do
more work for the same money?
999
00:55:08,221 --> 00:55:11,057
HARPER: Ultimately,
your loyalty is what cost you.
1000
00:55:13,601 --> 00:55:16,146
You're still drinking buddies
with the guys over at Shogun,
1001
00:55:16,229 --> 00:55:17,856
yeah?
1002
00:55:17,939 --> 00:55:21,234
-Shogun?
-HARPER: Our Japanese brothers?
1003
00:55:21,317 --> 00:55:22,944
You still hit up
the Slug and Lettuce
1004
00:55:23,028 --> 00:55:24,112
with those guys?
1005
00:55:24,696 --> 00:55:25,697
DVD: Oh...
1006
00:55:27,115 --> 00:55:29,409
Yeah, sure.
I know everyone there.
1007
00:55:29,492 --> 00:55:32,162
They've been making overtures
towards me for months.
1008
00:55:32,245 --> 00:55:33,288
Well...
1009
00:55:34,122 --> 00:55:35,206
the floor is yours.
1010
00:55:40,086 --> 00:55:42,213
You guys really are
something else.
1011
00:55:47,177 --> 00:55:48,928
So, fucking tell them that then.
1012
00:55:54,225 --> 00:55:55,226
Uh...
1013
00:55:58,354 --> 00:55:59,773
I'm an immediate MD.
1014
00:56:02,567 --> 00:56:03,610
I run the desk.
1015
00:56:05,445 --> 00:56:06,821
You all report to me.
1016
00:56:08,031 --> 00:56:11,868
I run the comp pool.
And I'm paid like a trader.
1017
00:56:11,951 --> 00:56:13,745
Percentage
of total commissions made.
1018
00:56:13,828 --> 00:56:14,913
My upside is unlimited.
1019
00:56:17,499 --> 00:56:18,541
