All language subtitles for Devils 2x04 - Episode 4 (English)

She was killed by a hit and run driver.

I'm so sorry.

Mind the gap.

You weren't followed?

- Did you find Damian Curtis?
- His phone's shut off.

The last cell tower relay to pick
up his signal was two weeks ago

in Hampshire, near St. Catherine's Hill.

Do you think he's gone into
hiding? Or been disappeared.

- He was with Kalim the night he died.
- What?

Damian's signal puts him
with Kalim near the South Bank

on the night of the referendum.

Minutes before he was killed.

So, if you could track
Damian's whereabouts...

For the Chinese, this is kids' stuff.

Are you sure you want to find this guy?

It's just...

All this digging... It might
attract the people who killed Kalim.

Jeremy.

I hear Massimo Ruggero has
joined Dominic Morgan's SPAC.

That doesn't really concern me,
because Massimo is wounded and weak,

just like Dominic.

- I have another project for you.
- I'm all ears.

Provided the price is right, of course.

I need to find a way to
block a major investment

our friends are making in the UK.

A contract giving the 22.5 billion
Hinkley Point C nuclear power plant

in Somerset the formal
go-ahead is to be signed.

Representatives from
the British government,

both French and Chinese
power corporations,

engaged in the mammoth
construction project are to attend.

Hi, this is Amina Chowdhrey.

Please leave a message
and I'll get back to you.

Amina, it's Massimo.

Please call me back when you can.

Thank you.

Here he comes.

Hey.

Here.

Thanks.

So... Is it true?

I had a brief consensual
relationship with Zhi.

That explains a lot.

It was a mistake, and it cost me my job.

But it's not why I gave Zhi hers.

- You're sure about that?
- Work is our life.

Professional lines get crossed.

You two know that.

Why are we here?

I wanted you to be the first to know.

I'm going to be named CEO of
Dominic's investment group tomorrow.

What?

We've got 50 billion to
acquire data companies.

I want my team with me.

I want you.

You're kiddin', right?

The Chinese are
fighting a war over data.

Think of it as a chance
to protect our interests.

You mean your interests?

- You think I'd follow you anywhere?
- I know what you think.

About Durings... It wasn't me.

Dominic tried to destroy you.

- Why would you work for him now?
- Because we share a common enemy.

Can you stop trying to make out
like we're in some kind of war?

- This is about your revenge.
- It's not revenge.

It's justice for Kalim.

This is not about who
killed Kalim anymore.

It's about why he was killed.

Liwei is a banker.

He's not a hitman

or some comic book villain
trying to take over the world.

I'm done.

Massimo, I... we...
need some time to think.

That's all I ask.

Chris?

I waited a long time
to sit in this office.

Are congratulations in order?

Not yet.

But I have good reason to
believe they will be tomorrow.

I'm happy for you then.

Thank you.

I couldn't have done
it without your help.

- Good evening, Mr Morgan.
- There you go, thank you.

- Good evening.
- Rebecca Farmer is waiting in your office.

- You don't like her much, do you?
- I don't know her.

How's the homework coming along?

I find it boring.

Boring is good for you.

No, seriously, you should check it out.

It's scientifically proven.

This was important to my grandmother.

I won't... I won't give up.

What were you doing on your phone?

Looking at that social
media app, Flamestar.

How is it?

Lots of interesting conversations
with people all over the world.

About what?

Politics, finance... everything.

Are you still going to
acquire them? Flamestar?

Never say never.

Can I offer you something to drink?

- Your girl got me some water.
- Good.

- She's odd, isn't she?
- She's brilliant.

- Well, I don't think she likes me.
- I'm not sure she likes anyone.

- You offered Massimo the job.
- Of course.

Even after NYL let him
go for sexual misconduct?

We're gonna need him more
than ever with Hinkley Point.

I expect you to be his
biggest champion tomorrow.

I'll play the role to a T.

- You're good at that.
- I'm not sure that's a compliment.

Did you go see your friend?

Of course.

- And?
- He's on the case.

- Ah! Carolina.
- Dominic.

- Carolina, I'm so glad you're here.
- Wouldn't miss it.

Even if our white knight
has a dent in his armour.

Those are just rumours,
they'll fade away.

- And Massimo's one of a kind.
- He is indeed.

Massimo Ruggero.

Let me introduce you to two of
our most important investors.

- Rebecca Farmer.
- Hope you're feeling the pressure.

- You should be.
- Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.
- Carolina Elsher.

- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you, too.

Please.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

I have called this interim board meeting

before announcing to the city.

Today's decision is based
on years of loyalty...

... of hard work, and an
unfailing strategic vision.

Well, I'm very very pleased
to confirm our new CEO.

- The new CEO of NYL...
- Massimo Ruggero.

Cheng Liwei.

Thank you for your confidence...
and your good sense.

These are challenging times.

We have targets to meet.

A reputation to protect.

And a battle to win.

A decade ago, the mathematician
Clive Humby declared...

"Data is the new oil."

Data is the world's most
valuable resource today.

But it's not the new oil.

Oil is finite.

Data is not.

As long as there are people,
they will create more data.

Tracking every coffee you buy...

Every social media post you make...

Every journey you take.

Every aspect of every
moment of your life

recorded, analysed,
commodified into data.

It's a market expected to be worth...

- One...
- Trillion...

... Euros by 2020.

A market we must dominate.

Our opponents are well ahead of us.

I should know.

Until recently, he was one of us.

They know our strengths...

... our weaknesses.

But we too know his.

Any questions?

How will you defeat them?

Acquisition by acquisition.

Perhaps you could be
a little more specific?

I intend to start with
a social media app.

You've all heard of Flamestar.

We targeted Flamestar
We targeted Flamestar

because it's drawing millions
of new followers each month.

It will be our first, but
certainly not last victory.

My understanding is that
your former colleagues at NYL

are in the final stages of acquiring
Flamestar for a Chinese client.

That's their understanding, too.

Over there, please.

- Could you give us a moment?
- Of course, thank you.

Congratulations.

You were surprised by my appointment.

- I imagine a lot of people were.
- No, I wasn't that surprised.

Some people in my position might
feel the need to clean house.

But you've impressed me, Oliver.

And shown your loyalty.

Thank you.

In fact, I'm considering
you for a promotion.

What did you have in mind?

A man needs to fit a job
like a hand in a glove.

Take Chris, for example.

Head of Risk needs to be
cautious, a stickler for the rules.

Chris is made for that job.

Yeah.

You?

You're insightful, bold, ideas-driven.

You see things others don't.

I want you to be my successor
as Chief Strategy Officer.

It's a big job, setting direction
for the bank and pushing growth.

A step toward becoming CEO some day.

Can I have a word?

If this is about Flamestar,
I thought you'd be pleased.

I am. This is not about Flamestar.
This is about Hinkley Point C.

- This is supposed to be a data war.
- Nuclear power is leverage.

A pawn in China's wider strategy.

Control over energy supply

would give China influence
over government policy

on a host of issues,
including data, trade, 5G.

The deal is meant to be
officially signed this week.

You put it together
when you were at NYL.

You think you can find
a way to take it apart?

You're talking about a �20billion deal.

Precisely.

OK.

I need to see the original paperwork.

We can't get at it.

NYL has taken it off their server.

You're gonna have to find someone
to help you from the inside.

OK.

OK.

- You wanted to see me?
- Yes, have a seat.

Quite a lot has happened recently,

and I'm sure it's left you
wondering where you stand.

I think you made it pretty
clear before where I stand.

I said you were better
in a client-facing role,

and I still believe that.

I also know that you wanted a chance

to prove yourself as Senior Analyst.

Yes?

And I'm prepared to give it to you.

- Just like that?
- Just like that.

You're either setting me up to fail,

or you're trying to buy my loyalty.

Or perhaps I'm just trying
to give you a chance.

If you still want it.

I'm afraid I need an answer now.

Yes.

Yes, I want it.

There is one thing.

Massimo is gonna try
and steal Flamestar.

To get this past Liwei,
we're gonna need to close.

- It's practically closed already.
- Great.

Hi.

I'm Nadya Wojcik, I work here.

Yes, I heard about you.

The genius.

- I'm Massimo.
- Ruggero.

You used to work for Mr Morgan at NYL.

Youngest ever Head of Trading.

That's right.

You're going after Flamestar.

- It's a good decision.
- Thank you.

It was my recommendation.

Then Dominic was right about you.

I'm glad you're here, Miss... Wojcik?

Well, I see you two have met already.

Yes.

Keep an eye on this man,
Nadya, and you will go far.

He learned from the best.

She picked Flamestar
right out of the blocks.

In time, she could be even
better than you, my friend.

She just might.

Well?

The job is hers as soon
as we close Flamestar.

- What about Oliver?
- You don't need to worry about him.

- But I'm worried about you.
- Me?

I imagine... you are still upset.

Using my relationship with
Massimo was bad enough.

You told me it would
stay within the bank.

But his name was
dragged through the mud.

And yours.

And for that I'm sorry.

You know you're like a daughter to me.

If you need time to take some
time to gather yourself, take it.

I would never let anything
stand in the way of my job.

I will fight Massimo for
Flamestar, and I will win.

I'm still not sure how you
mean to keep Li Bolin onside.

Everyone has a price.

You're with Dominic Morgan now.

Didn't see that coming.

No one did.

What is it you want?

Your controlling interest in Flamestar.

Which you have thanks to me.

You know how my brother
feels about Dominic Morgan.

Your brother, not you. You
deal with me, not Dominic.

Or maybe you prefer the Chinese get it.

The devil or the deep blue sea, huh?

What if I chose a third option?

There is no third option.

Can I get the...

Excuse me.

Hey.

Small world.

Or, it was intentional.

I'm sure Li Bolin wanted us to know

we're both trying to get him in bed.

Yes, you're good at that.

Massimo, I'm sorry.

- Are you?
- Yes.

We both know what really
happened between us.

I thought I did.

I'm not making any excuses,
because there isn't any.

But there were certain pressures on me.

You're right. There is no excuse.

You let him use you.

My relationship with
Liwei is complicated.

He's done a lot for me.

And debts must be repaid.

Good for you.

- You wouldn't understand.
- No, I don't.

Yeah. I don't blame you for hating me.

I have your permission?

How kind.

Anyway, I just closed the deal.

Goodbye, Zhi.

I'm sorry I have to work tonight.

- We should be celebrating.
- That's all right, another time.

I am so proud of you.

My Oliver is the first black
Chief of Strategy Officer at NYL.

Possibly ever, in any bank.

What's wrong?

Look how I got the job.

What do you mean?

Massimo went behind
my back with Durings.

Then Liwei used Zhi to
stab Massimo in the back.

Yeah, but you didn't do anything wrong.

How did I get hired at
NYL in the first place?

By helping people cheat on exams,
by stealing private records.

No. You've been on the straight
and narrow ever since, baby.

You don't get it, Toy.

Banking's all about dirty tricks.

Do whatever it takes
to get ahead, that's it.

Just don't lose sight of who
you are and where we came from.

What, you mean that
one bed council flat?

You want to go back there?

- I mean...
- You know what I mean, OK?

Look, leave it to me, all right?

I'll sort something
special for tomorrow night.

Just you wait and see.

- What kind of special?
- Bye!

Massimo.

I'm so happy to see you.

May I come in?

- Who's that?
- Well... It's complicated.

It's complicated.

Forget I asked.

I've...

always felt the...

comfort of clutter... myself.

- Can I offer you a drink?
- Wouldn't say no.

So, let me guess.

The 13th floor aren't happy
I've joined Dominic Morgan.

They will do what they need to

in order to protect what
they spent years creating.

Is that a threat?

Do I look threatening?

Surely they don't want
China to win the data war.

They want the status quo.

Anti-globalists like Dominic,
Rebecca Farmer, Donald Trump...

... would destroy it.

Trump doesn't have a chance.

Life has a tendency to
throw the unexpected at you.

You working for Dominic
again being a case in point.

Thank you.

By the way, why are
you working for Dominic?

I need answers.

For Kalim.

And Dominic's gonna help you
out of the goodness of his heart?

He's fighting the Chinese
for his own reasons.

It just so happens
they coincide with mine.

You may not get what you want,

but for your sake... I hope
that you get what you need.

Without starting a bloody war.

Now that sounds like a threat.

A friendly warning, is all.

- Thank you for coming.
- Don't make me regret it.

Please, have a seat.

Ms Wu told me you're prepared
to improve your offer.

And you told me it wasn't
about money for you.

It's not.

Which is why I fail to see what
sort of improvement you can make.

Well, your mother and father
fled the mainland in 1949.

- Yes.
- They didn't just lose their home.

Your ancestral temple in
Guangdong was destroyed,

leaving your ancestors'
spirits no place to rest.

And the Chinese government blocked
all efforts to rebuild the temple.

Which is why this is
not just about money.

It's personal for me and my family.

Indeed.

Family is everything.

A Chinese spy has been arrested
at an American nuclear plant.

He works for the Chinese company
set to build Hinkley Point C.

The arrest has rattled
nerves in Downing Street,

raising questions about entrusting

the nation's energy supply...

- ... To a hostile power that spies on its allies.
- Are you watching?

I am indeed.

Your friend came through.

Have you heard from your
contacts at Whitehall?

They're nervous about the deal,
but not quite nervous enough.

Time to bring out our Trojan horse.

- Congratulations, it suits you.
- Why, thank you.

You were across the Hinkley Point
deal with Massimo, weren't you?

Yeah, briefly, at the final stages.

It's due to be signed
this week, isn't it? Yes.

I've got some associates
from Beijing flying over

for the signing of the deal.

I know it was a nightmare for
Massimo to get over the line.

Well, now... it's your nightmare.

Last night a man was arrested
at a nuclear plant in the US,

accused of being a spy.

Ah. Let me guess.

- A Chinese national?
- Go figure.

What's he got to do with Hinkley Point?

Nothing, but the optics don't look good.

We don't want to give
nervous politicians

a reason to hold up the deal.

- So what do you want me to do?
- Make sure they don't find one.

Do Dominic and Massimo have
something to do with this?

It's entirely possible.

What?

You're so gonna miss
the action on the floor.

No, you're gonna miss
my action on the floor.

- Hmm.
- Hmm.

Word is there is some kind
of crisis on Hinkley Point.

Ugh, word travels fast.

This spy story that broke last night...

Massimo and Dominic may
have something to do with it.

- Want me to help?
- No.

No man is an island, Oliver.

Not even the man with the big office.

I'm supposed to be home tonight,
for dinner with the wife, so...

Actually, yeah, if you could
help, that would be amazing.

No problem.

- Eleanor?
- Hmm?

I'm really glad you're
not going with Massimo.

Hey.

- Careful, it's heavy.
- I remember.

You're doing the right thing.

Then why do I feel like shit?

Where are you going?

Dinner, with our friend from Flamestar.

It's rather charitable, basically.

You know I've always
been straight with you.

I tell you what I think, not
what NYL thinks I should say.

And what are you saying now?

- In confidence?
- Of course.

If Li Bolin sides with Dominic Morgan,

a hostile takeover could be avoided.

You would maintain
control over Flamestar.

And with NYL as investor?

Go with them and you're
basically unemployed.

But rich.

You'll be rich either way.

Can you imagine a future for the
company that you aren't a part of?

You're saying I should sign with
Dominic Morgan, your competitor?

Depends on what you want.

I know what I want.

- I misread you, I'm so sorry.
- It's OK, really.

- Would you like some coffee?
- Yeah, thanks.

- I thought I'd find you here.
- Hey.

- Well?
- The agreement's iron-clad.

- I made sure of that.
- Of course you did.

- But I'll keep looking.
- Good.

Something wrong?

I just had a disturbing
call from Pietro Marchesi.

He said that Eleanor Bourg may
be working for Dominic Morgan.

- For Massimo.
- Not much of a shock, is it?

- Get rid of her.
- And show Massimo our hand?

Keeping a fox in the
henhouse is a risky strategy.

I'll keep an eye on the hens.

If I get rid of her, Massimo
would just look for another fox.

All right, if you say so.

Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm not feeling
great, but I'll be fine.

- What about Li Bolin?
- Yeah, I have a call in to Beijing.

Zhi?

Take care.

Thanks, I will.

Clean air! Clean air! Clean air!

Clean air! Clean air! Clean air!
Clean air! Clean air! Clean air!

Clean air! Clean air! Clean air!

Clean air! Clean air! Clean air!

Clean air! Clean air! Clean air!

Clean air! Clean air! Clean air!

Come in.

I think I've got something.

There's a section of the budget

that's been redacted from
the deal. Waste management.

It's always hugely under-budgeted.

It could piss off
environmental protestors.

Because the cost of nuclear
waste management is enormous.

An oversight... or deliberate deceit?

Well, you'd better
get over to Whitehall.

- Talk to your friends at the Atomic Energy Commission.
- Yes.

- Aren't you coming with me?
- I can't. I have a lunch with an investor.

- Good luck.
- You too.

- Hi.
- It's been a while, Massimo.

Too long.

- I've been busy.
- I heard.

The whole city heard.

I guess you also heard
about the Chinese spy

at the American nuclear plant.

It's a bloody PR nightmare, but
we're moving ahead with the signing.

MI6 are having kittens, of course.

I should have gone into
banking, not politics.

Far less cut-throat
and much better suits.

There was a time when
you laughed at my jokes.

Is that 'cos you were being paid to?

I am sorry, Julie.

But your PR nightmare's
about to get worse.

We both know that waste
management is wildly underbudgeted.

Rubbish, we set aside a 100
million contingency fund.

That contingency is to
cover the whole project.

- What if it is?
- The budget's not public. No one could know.

You didn't know.

Word could leak out.

You wouldn't.

Waste management costs are
notoriously hard to predict.

Get it wrong, and the British taxpayer

could be paying for generations.

Cut corners on the clean-up,

and you could be looking
at another nuclear disaster.

And if this became public...
it would end your career.

Unless you blow the whistle.

I don't know what you think
you're playing at, you little shit.

There's nothing you, nor I,
can do to derail this deal.

- It's as good as done.
- I'm sorry you can't help, Julie.

Fuck you, Massimo.

- You gonna tell me what's in this?
- See for yourself.

But before you do, I'd like
to confirm a couple of things.

Firstly, NYL will match any
offer that Massimo makes.

So you said.

Second, whatever you should
decide, this is yours to keep.

Approval to rebuild your
family's ancestral temple.

Your ancestors' spirit
tablets will have a home again.

Your parents will be given the
face of having made this possible,

and you will return
home in silken robes.

I can never repay this debt.

- Massimo.
- El?

Thank you for Hinkley Point.

- Did you find what you needed?
- I think so.

- And Flamestar?
- I tried my best to tank it with Marchesi.

But I need to get out of NYL.

They're gonna find out.

I need you there just a little longer.

- What about what I need, Massimo?
- What do you need?

I want a job.

Two times base,

10 percent of performance
and uncapped on the outside.

- You've changed.
- Well?

5 percent of performance.

- You got 'til on Monday.
- Thank you.

Be careful, Massimo.

You too.

- You wanted to see me?
- Yes.

Hinkley Point is trending online,
thriven by protest on Flamestar.

You don't have anything to do with
starting those protests, do you?

Yes.

Only Massimo and I knew about this.

I saw the reports on Hinkley
Point on Mr Ruggero's desk.

They were left open to the
budget for waste management.

What sharp eyes you have.

Did I do wrong?

Next time tell me before
you make a move like that.

But you did good.

You have intuition.

Math is all intuition. Is it?

Turing said so.

The brain unconsciously accesses
and processes learned data sets.

Instincts are just machine learning.

Nadya Wojcik, you are something else.

Excuse me.

Liwei, it's been a while.

I wanted you to be the
first to hear the news.

Flamestar.

You win some, you lose some.

It's not too late to
step away from this fight.

Data is not zero sum. If we
could both emerge winners...

Your government doesn't believe that,

and I don't think you do either.

I was afraid you'd say that.

But I had to try to
make peace one last time.

I appreciate that. You
must be proud of your team.

I am.

Well, you know what they say.

"Pride comes before a fall."

I hope you don't mind me dropping by.

Can we talk?

Of course.

How are the kids?

Most of the time they're in the moment.

Then every once in a while it hits them.

- If there's anything I can do...
- What are you here for, Massimo?

I was surprised Damian Curtis
didn't come to the funeral.

So was I. I guess you never really
know who your true friends are.

No one's seen him.

Not since that day.

Look, I don't understand.

Last I heard, he had
gone down to Hampshire.

He was Kalim's friend, not mine.

Did Kalim ever talk to you
about St. Catherine's Hill?

We bought a cabin down there last year.

Not much more than a shed really.

- Did Damian know about this place?
- I don't know, maybe.

- Can I borrow the key?
- Sure.

Thank you.

It's not here.

_

May I introduce our Chief
Strategy Officer, Oliver Harris?

Mr Harris.

This is a great day for our country.

Thank you for your help. My pleasure.

_

_

_

- _
- WHISPERS: Shit.

Massimo.

_

_

The deal's off.

- What?
- It was just announced.

The government is postponing the signing

pending a full review
of the financial terms.

_

Damian?

Damian?

Hinkley C, shovel ready
and now signed off.

It's difficult to say that it's
gonna be a good deal for the UK.

It makes us look completely chaotic
for investors in this country.

If this project were to unravel,
that would be money wasted.

Everyone's wondering, "What's going on?"
