Columbians went to the polls today,

for what could be an historic moment of change

for the country.

As second-round votes are counted,

there are rumors and speculation in the capitol,

that this could be the end of an eight-year reign

for the political party and incumbent president.

Columbian Presidents are elected for four-year terms,

using a two-round system.

Well, this voting year a new candidate received

a majority of the votes in the first round.

A run-off has been held

between the top two candidates...

Hugo, you're concerned.

No, not concerned. Curious.

It'll drop. Let the others panic.

Well, if it drops any further, it's gonna be our money.

The election results will start coming in

in about three hours.

If it still hasn't changed then you can be concerned.

- Well, I hope you're right. - I am.

Okay, you're the genius. Goodnight, professor.

Hi.

I'm staring at the most ridiculous picture of myself.

We'll put it up in the bathroom.

Uh, no, we will not.

No one should ever see their face this big. Ever.

- How's it going down there? - It's okay, I think.

I'm almost home.

I'm leaving soon.

- Okay, love you. - Love you.

- See you soon. - Bye.

Columbian officials have announced

that the incumbent president

has maintained power.

In the most tightly fought political contest

the country has ever seen.

This unexpected result defied early poll predictions

and sent shockwaves through the country.

Agricultural policies will no longer change,

affecting millions ofpeople in rural areas

who were expecting ownership and the economy

to be placed back in the hands of local farmers and communities.

- Hi. - In here.

- Hi. - Thank you.

Thank you.

I've wanted this book for such a long time.

I didn't get you this book.

- What? - Nope.

You must have dropped hints to somebody else. Not me.

Who do you think it's from?

Um...

I don't know. There's only...

There was no note. Um...

This book is so fascinating. It's Darwin's third book.

He would use galvanism

to induce an emotional reaction from his subjects.

- It's amazing. - Oh, okay. That's hideous.

Can you put it away while we eat please?

Um... Yeah. Sorry.

Hugo.

Fine. Shouldn't have doubted you.

What?

What? You're not checking the figures?

You were right about Columbia.

- Thank you for the book. - What book?

The first edition Darwin.

I know Gabby didn't buy it.

And no one else knows I'd be interested in it, so...

First edition? Absolutely not.

I would never spend that much money on you.

Seriously? You didn't buy it?

No. Probably a grateful client.

I've wanted this book for a long time.

So, VIXAL knew about the election.

Speculated.

Speculation could be worth ten million.

So, we go short on Vista Airways?

- That's what it's telling us. - Right.

I'll authorize it now. Bonsoir.

I'm gonna go up.

Five minutes.

Okay.

"Fear. Terror.

The word 'fear' seems to be derived

from what is sudden and dangerous.

And that of terror from the trembling

of the vocal organs and body.

I use the word 'terror' for extreme fear.

But some writers think it ought to be confined to cases

in which the imagination is more particularly concerned.

The frightened man stands like a statue

motionless and breathless.

Or crouches down as if instinctively

to escape observation."

Evening.

Oh, shit.

That was a long five minutes.

Sorry.

I got distracted.

So, it's the right time of the month.

Oh, I know.

- Do you want to? - Yes, please.

Yes, please?

All right, you. Time to shut down.

You're not the only one with a big day tomorrow.

Sorry.

How are you feeling?

Um, fucking terrified.

It's so exposing.

It is.

You're the bravest person I know.

I have a good feeling about tomorrow.

You're going to sell everything.

Police, please.

Ah, I might have an intruder in my house.

My name is Alexander Hoffman,

an alarm should have been triggered.

No. Well, could you send somebody quickly, please?

Yes. Thank you.

Gabby, lock the door!

There's someone in the house!

Gabby!

Alex?

Alex?

Dr. Hoffman, can you hear me?

- Hello? Alex? Alex? - Dr. Hoffman.

Are you all right?

Oh.

Oh, my God! You're really bleeding, my love.

Dr. Hoffman. I am Jean Phillipe Leclerc.

Do you feel able to answer some questions?

How long was I unconscious?

Maybe 25 minutes.

We found these in the kitchen, next to the knives.

Do they belong to either of you?

What the fuck?

No, I have never seen them before.

It's possible the intruder was planning a kidnapping

rather than a robbery.

Oh, my God.

- Are you okay? - I'm okay.

- He didn't hurt you? - He didn't touch me.

Do you know if anyone has a grudge against you?

If anyone may have wanted to extort money from you?

- No, no. - No?

He disabled the alarms, how did he get in?

- What? - Through the front gate.

Did anyone, apart from you, know the codes here?

- Maurice. - Maurice Genoud, yeah.

- Maurice... Maurice Genoud. - Oui.

Uh, he's the head of security for my company.

- And for the house. - Yeah.

- He took his shoes off. - What?

Why would he do that?

His shoes. What shoes?

He left his boots by the front door.

That's how I knew someone was in the house.

So, do you remember what he looked like?

It's very important we show a description

of this man as soon as possible.

Dr. Hoffman?

I'm all right.

- Oh! - Whoa!

- Careful. Careful. - I'm all right. I'm all right.

Just leave me alone. Just stop, okay!

Just give me a second.

It's in here.

Someone sent me this book anonymously yesterday.

That's him, that's the man I saw.

Uh, you know that this photograph

is more than a hundred years old?

Obviously, I'm aware of that. Fuck!

But that's him. He looked like that.

Long hair, gaunt face.

Erm...

Forty-two million Euro.

Oh...

Yeah, it's a good price, here.

Because I grew up in Geneva, you know, and now,

can't afford that

because I'm living outside and driving to work.

Come on, let's go.

Just get off me, please.

Come on.

Merci, Inspector.

Bon courage.

Oui.

Alex, you have to take it easy.

Who are you calling?

Hugo.

He needs to know what happened.

I really don't think he needs to come to the hospital though.

- Alex? It's 5:00 a.m. - We had a break-in at the house.

- What? - Yeah. We're all fine.

I just got a knock to the head, so, we're in an ambulance.

Which hospital?

- University. - I'll be there.

Milliardaire, oui.

Ah, oui, d'accord.

Gabby.

- A genuine patient? - Oui.

- Ca va? - Oui, ca va.

This is my husband, Alex.

This is Fabian Tallon, the duty technician.

Do you remember I told you about him?

He helped me with the scans for the exhibition, remember?

Yeah, I remember, uh...

Thank you for everything you've done for my wife.

Oh, it's been a pleasure.

Now, Alex, let's see what we can do for you.

- Alex? - What?

I'm sorry, what did you say?

Can you stand up for me, please?

Of course.

It won't take long.

- It's going to be okay. - I hate these things.

Have you missed our conversations?

Yes, I have...

Alex? Alex, can you hear me?

- Can you hear me? - Yeah.

Okay, I need you to keep as still as possible.

Alex, stop moving.

Head back up, please.

I need to get out.

- Please, get me out now! - Okay.

Did you get it?

No evidence of fracture

and no swelling

which is the most important thing.

But you see these...

tiny hemorrhages in the brain tissue...

- Serious? - Not necessarily.

But I'd like to do an MRI.

Get a clearer image of the soft tissue.

Tell us whether or not it's related to the attack

or if it's a pre-existing condition.

Well, how long will that take?

It depends when the scanner's available.

Uh, we might be able to use it around noon.

As long as there's no emergency.

Sorry, is this not an emergency?

There's no immediate danger, no.

- Then I'd like to be discharged. - No, no, no.

You are having this scan.

Monsieur, anyone who's been knocked unconscious,

as you have,

should be kept under observation for 24 hours.

You just said there was no emergency,

so there's no immediate danger. Correct?

My advice would be to take this to your doctor

- as soon as possible. - Okay...

Sorry. But, why? Is there a tumor or something?

I can't say for sure.

That's why you need an MRI to rule out a few things.

Well, like what?

Dementia, MS? What?

You are having a scan

and you are not going to the office.

I will have the scan.

But tomorrow. You have to get to the gallery.

You've been working on this exhibition for months.

Okay. Look at me, I'm fine.

You can see the scan, there's no swelling,

there's no fracture.

- And no bloody common sense. - That wound must be stitched.

And you need to sign a form releasing the hospital

from all responsibility if you decide to leave.

Fine.

Well then, professor, let's get you stitched up.

Don't want that brain falling out now, do we?

Thank you, Doctor.

Hugo, please.

They said he needs to be observed

for at least 24 hours.

Oh, Gabby, I wouldn't dream of telling Alex what to do.

If he wants to go to the office today I couldn't stop him if I tried.

This pitch is worth a hell of a lot.

You could always do it.

Oh, no, you can't, 'cause you're just good

at counting all the cash he makes you.

Dr. Hoffman, are you all right?

Just a minute.

Your CT scan results.

Take it from me,

it is always the unknown that is most frightening.

See your doctor, monsieur.

I know when you're not fine.

My love, I really think your health

is more important than a pitch.

Don't worry, I'll look after him.

- Alex, what's wrong? - Nothing.

I think the anesthetic is just wearing off.

It stings a little.

Turn the radio up will you, Claude?

Bonjour.

Bonjour. May I help you?

Yeah. Inspector Jean Phillipe Leclerc.

I'm leading the investigation into Dr. Hoffman's attack.

- Any progress? - Yeah. Working on it.

Try not to worry.

Oh, we're quite busy today.

So, I'll make sure Dr. Hoffman calls you

as soon as possible.

I'll see you in a couple hours.

You look after yourself, okay.

Can I give you my card?

- Oui. - Yeah.

Thank you.

Now this little group of investors we've put together

could buy out all our other investors five times over.

Good morning, gentlemen.

- Morning, Claire. - Claire.

I need to go find Genoud.

All in good time, Alex.

We can't afford to assume

we've already got their investments.

Let's not be complacent.

I'm not complacent, I'm confident.

And Hugo, I'm serious, I will be at Gabby's opening.

Till then, do your worst.

Now, let me talk you through who's coming,

eight investors, all existing clients.

Four institutions and two family offices.

Now, they're due in an hour and a half, all right?

So, I'll introduce you.

You walk them through the basic principles.

In a language they understand,

please, professor.

And after that, we'll show them the hardware

and I'll make the pitch.

And last but not least,

we'll take them out to lunch at the Beau Valais.

By which point I'd like us all to be five billion better off.

But I'll settle for 4.5.

Commission of 2 and 20, all right?

Ah! Monsieur Genoud. A word.

Best system money can buy.

That's what you said.

So, you're responsible for security, Genoud,

at the office and at our homes.

This building is as well protected

as any in Geneva.

As for your home, the system wasn't breached.

The intruder must have known the codes.

I do the best I can Dr. Hoffman,

but no security system in the world

can protect against that.

Yes, but, apart from Alex and Gabby,

the only other person who knew those codes was you.

None of my staff have access to those codes.

And if they did...

they wouldn't be able to decipher them

because they're encrypted.

- No leak came from me. - I guess we'll just have to

take your word for that, won't we?

All right, until this man is caught

the priority is arranging proper protection for Alex, yes?

A permanent guard is already at the house.

When Dr. Hoffman leaves this building or his home

I would suggest he is covered by a security guard

with counter-terrorism training.

Counter-terrorism?

Yes, if you or Gabby were kidnapped,

you'd command a pretty high ransom,

so I say let's do whatever it takes to protect you.

All right. But I want Gabby to have whatever I have.

She's worth more than me.

That's all for now, thank you.

Dr. Hoffman, I know Leclerc,

the detective leading this investigation.

Okay.

May I ask, have you told him everything?

Of course.

Absolutely everything?

Yes. What are you implying?

That's enough now, Maurice.

What the hell's he talking about?

- I need you to start focusing. - Do you trust him?

If he wanted to do something to you or Gabby,

if he wanted to steal from you, he would've done it already.

And he would have been very good at it.

I could do without the lunch.

We've waited a year for this. Remember the end game.

Yep.

Now maybe take a shower and comb your hair.

They'll want brilliant and eccentric,

but not completely mad.

- Jesus! - I did knock.

I just wanted to know

if you'd like anything done before I go.

Oh.

You keep a record of...

the security codes for my house, don't you?

- Yes, Dr. Hoffman. - Where do you keep them?

On my computer, but I can't open the file.

Only you can do that.

Does anyone else have access to that computer?

- Certainly not. - Not even your husband?

My husband died last year.

Yes, um...

I'm sorry. I...

Someone broke into the house last night

and the police say the intruder had the codes.

I'm, uh...

I'm sorry.

That's okay.

If you'd like anything else, let me know.

Okay.

Fuck.

Rosengaarden.

Guten Morgen. Do you speak English?

Yes, how can I help you?

I believe you sent me a book.

My name is Alexander Hoffman, I live in Geneva.

Dr. Hoffman, of course, I remember,

it was a Darwin first edition.

A beautiful book. Is something wrong?

A problem with the delivery or...

No, no. I received it.

I just, it didn't come with a note

and I wanted to thank whoever bought it for me, so,

uh...

Could you provide that information?

Uh, but, you bought it, Dr. Hoffman.

No, that's, uh...

No, I didn't buy the book.

Dr. Hoffman, I have the order form in front of me.

You bought the book.

I assure you I did not.

Is there any way you could have confused

this purchase with another item or...

No, no, I, um...

Can you tell me how I paid for the book?

A bank transfer.

How much?

Ten thousand Euros.

Okay, who did I speak to when I bought the book?

You ordered by email.

Email...

- When? - Uh, May 3rd.

No, I'm looking at my emails now and I don't see an email to you.

Um...

Could, uh, perhaps you have another computer?

Could you have sent it from home?

No. Uh...

Uh...

Are you still there, Dr. Hoffman?

Yes.

Yes. Do you have an account number

for that transaction?

I'm sorry, but I can't disclose that information.

Why not, it's my account, isn't it?

I cannot give that information over the phone.

I... I could send it to the email address

given on the order.

Great. Could you please do that?

- Thank you. - I'll send the email. Goodbye.

These tiny hemorrhages in the brain tissue

I'd like to do an MRI.

My advice would be to take this

to your doctor as soon as possible.

Take it from me, it is always the unknown

that is most frightening. See your doctor, monsieur.

One more. One go for eight, that's fine.

- I'll call you back. - Lin.

I need you to check an account number for me.

Uh, looks like a Cayman Island's

- US dollar account. - Is that a company account?

Forward it to me, I'll run it through the system.

What's this got to do with?

I just need to know whose it is. And keep it to yourself. Okay?

Okay. Alex, has Marieme spoken to you?

No, why?

You authorized a big short on Vista Airways last night.

It's in direct opposition to the trend and Marieme's worried,

wants to call a risk committee meeting.

She's saying our risk limit's been breached.

Tell her to talk to Hugo, okay?

Okay.

Dr. Hoffman.

They're waiting for you in the boardroom.

- What time is it? - Almost 11:00.

Are you all right?

Just tell Hugo I'll be a few minutes, okay.

Okay.

- I need a word, now. - Marieme, it'll have to wait

- till after the presentation. - It's urgent.

Not now.

You authorized a short on Vista Airways.

I said not now. Okay?

Aha. Here he is at last.

The President of Hoffman Investment Technologies.

Well, as I was saying,

it's been nearly eight years

since Alex and I first set up shop.

And in that time, you've all seen

your net worth increase by 83 percent.

So, you already know that bringing your money to us

was the smart thing to do.

About 18 months ago, Alex and his team

made a technological breakthrough,

for want of better words.

As a result, we had to hard close the fund.

Some of you were very disappointed.

But we had to do it

because we had to be absolutely sure

that increasing the size of our fund

would not decrease our performance.

Well, it pleases me greatly to tell you that VIXEL 4

is now robust enough to support portfolio expansion

from our most important existing clients.

Now, I'd like to hand you over to Dr. Alex Hoffman.

Around 350 BC,

Aristotle defined human beings

as "The animal that has language."

Language, above all, is what differentiates us

from the other creatures on the planet.

The development of language

freed us from a world of physical objects

and substituted a universe of symbols.

For over 50,000 years, only humans

were the animal with language.

But now, for the very first time,

that is no longer the case.

I mean, we share our world with computers.

Everywhere we go, we leave a digital trail.

All that data can be read and analyzed.

But here's the thing.

We still read at the same rate as Aristotle did.

The average American college student

only reads 450 words a minute.

A computer can perform

trillions of calculations every second.

There's a physical limit to how much we can,

as a species, process, and absorb.

There's no such limit for computers

as long as we give them enough processing power and memory.

And on top of that,

algorithms don't have imagination.

They...

They don't give in to panic, unlike humans.

So, that makes them ideally suited to trading

in the financial markets.

With our new generation of VIXAL

we were able to isolate, measure

and factor in to our market calculations

the element of price

that derives entirely from human behavior.

We built an algorithm that can adapt its strategy

and that's what gives it a competitive edge.

So basically, this is just behavioral finance?

You're going to analyze every aspect

of human behavior in the markets?

Well, that would be impossible, as you well know.
