Are you okay?

Fucking idiots.

Blow on my dices. Blow!

- Is it good?
- What the fuck?

Oh, Dad! What the fuck?

What the fuck is wrong with you?

In my fucking room!

Fucking cunt!

Yasmin, where's your dad?

Fucking hell. Fuck, fuck, fuck!

Oi! You all right?

Oi! Where the fuck
are you going?

- Was that the same one?
- Oi! Cunt!

You all right there, mate?

Where the hell were you?

Should we call the police?

He was in your fucking skip.

A lot of you were asking
about my phone case.

I swapped out the Bottega Green

because I thought
this matte black case

was more work appropriate.

Shout-out to all my
corporate girlies

for the steer.

So, this is a morning

in the life of a Sales
and Trading graduate.

As I always say,

always be the
first on the floor,

and ABSTBB.

"Always be securing
that bag, bish."

God, I sound like
a fucking freak.

Just hit 50k followers,
it's like a full-time job.

You're at your full-time job.

You can't just
film on the floor.

Sorry. Sorry, that, um,

sidebar is literally
like crack, isn't it?

I just wanna say, the
way they're dragging you

for being someone
who unashamedly

enjoys the lifestyle,
it's sickening.

At least they didn't mention
you work at Pierpoint.

Yeah.

The fact that I actually work
would fuck with their narrative.

You look amazing
in that boat photo.

It's not what it looks like.

It was taken six weeks ago.

I've deleted all my socials.

They just ripped it off
someone else's 'gram.

Bet your DMs were filthy
when all this dropped.

I actually accrued quite
a passionate gay following

for some reason.

But, yeah, like, I'm
guessing a lot of, like,

unsolicited dick pics.

Sweetpea, could you just get me

some more Lumi
IPO decks, please?

They're under your left hand.

Also, I started building
this risk indicator model

when I was doing my rotations
in Risk and Equity trading.

I can share it with
you if you like,

you know, when it
becomes interesting.

Oh, James Ashford's
called, like,

three or four times
this morning already.

I guess it's in response
to Lumi's Q2 earnings.

Why would that not be the
first thing you tell me?

No, no. No. He's bent
as they come, man.

Are you worried they're
gonna, like, fire you?

You know, the article?

So, your dad just,
like, left, right?

Like, he just disappeared?

Have you heard from him since?

At least you make the
whole incognito look

work for you.

Sorry.

How... how is Elaine,
she left you yet?

No, no, that's my best friend.

- Yes.
- James, hi.

Sorry, I just got in.
Um, how are you feeling?

I tried Henry all last
night, twice this morning.

Why is he harder to get
ahold of than one of those

Obergruppenführer who joined
the priesthood in Argentina?

Look, I'm sure he's just
swamped with some last-minute

pre-IPO marketing.

He should be reassuring
current investors,

not courting new ones.

No, um, I'm...
Sorry, I mean press.

He's, um, doing some
news segment on founders.

Oh, Christ.

Look, James, if you need
any twelfth-hour deal color,

I am happy to fill you in.

Now, I have to drive three
hours to a part of London

that I worked very
hard to escape,

To visit a business
I used to believe in.

Make sure the founder is
there with answers, okay?

Okay, absolutely, James.
I am completely with you.

It's just, I'm...

- The answers to what exactly?
- Answers to my questions. Bye.

Do I look like I need it?

James at Ashford
Asset Management.

I could hear the
vein in his forehead.

I'm gonna dig into
it, but honestly,

I have no idea what he wants.

Yas, he's a minutiae guy. Anal.

This'll be some non-material
over-intellectual exercise.

She looks quite chic.

Sweetpea, could you
print off the Lumi deck?

- Lumi's stock isn't gonna shift itself.
- Yeah.

That newspaper's evil incarnate.

I mean, it's done more damage
to this country than...

Private education?

Easy, Tom Selleck.

David Seaman, you look
like the Thomas Edison

of pedophilia. What is this?

Have they offered you
a Boohoo campaign yet?

- Every penny counts now, right?
- Guys, seriously,

with the sheer fuck-offness
of the size of this IPO

that's looming over
the next 48 hours,

I'm putting a moratorium

on giving airtime to
that tawdry bullshit.

Back to the coalface,
everybody, now, please.

Ooh! IPO build-ups. I
get this fuckin' twinge

in my asshole.
It's incredible!

Our mission today is consistent

with when we began this
journey nine years ago.

To bring renewable energy
at affordable prices

to as many people as possible.

And so...

What?

James Ashford is
on his way to Lumi.

His bloodlust is up.

Whose blood? Why?

He wants to speak to Muck,

says he's deliberately
gone to ground.

He mentioned
something about a PDF,

so I think he's talking
about the quarterly report.

Yeah, well, he's
in an interview.

You're not a fucking
press officer.

The whole point of
you wall-crossing

is so that you can manage
him for Pierpoint's benefit.

Manage him.

Questions about the purpose
of going public won't go away.

I wouldn't be so crude

as to use the phrase
"cash grab," but...

Oh, come on. What?

You know, you see, these
are the typical whispers

you get around
something this seismic.

And I might add that
the, uh, the Luddites

always sharpen their
knives for disruptors.

Crude scrutiny is important.

And no one is more
scrupulous than me, than us.

See, this...

This is what animates
a decade-long mission.

Personally, I find I sleep
deeper under my desk.

That was me being humorous.

Yeah. No, we can, uh,

we can cut that, it
didn't really land.

Anyway, uh, over
here we have a...

Whoo!

Thank you.

Sir.

Thanks.

And to our newest partner,

a nod to Pierpoint's
agricultural roots.

Cotton to credit default
swaps. And in our 150th year.

Think of it as a gift
from our founders,

Randolph and Mortimer
Pierpoint, straight to you.

They were a family
of slavers, right?

Pierpoint's been overexposed
in sales and trading.

This has been ameliorated

by our commitment
to the green shift.

And on the day of
his partnership,

it's important we credit
Eric's work in the trenches.

Lumi is just the
first in a pipeline

of environmental, social, and
governance-oriented deals.

We have a suite of in-demand,
ethical and social impact IPOs

that we've won over
our competitors.

Look... ESG's a
great marketing tool,

and I'm sure it's helped
Pierpoint's stock price

to be included in all the
ethical investment baskets,

but...

shouldn't we be wary
of increasingly gearing

our balance sheet toward a fad?

Excuse me?

Woke investing. Greenwashing.

So our business model

isn't a rigorous balance
sheet examination.

We just look at the
org chart and then...

Chatham House rules apply.

Pray that the CEO is a
Black lesbian with one leg,

then without even meeting her,

sign "they/them" a blank check.

Have I got that right?

I'm sorry.

Chatham House rules means
carte blanche for bigotry?

Maybe you can leave your
cynicism at the door

while this trade still has legs.

Pierpoint Asset Management,
our private equity division,

is heavily invested
in these companies.

Lumi, Europa Gaz
out of Frankfurt.

Momentum is everything.

With the successful
launch tomorrow of Lumi,

the first domino falls and
will signal to the market

that the other
European live IPOs

we have in the
pipeline will hit.

Good thing for me to tell

the CEO about in our
weekly catch-ups.

How is the old man?

Oh, still on three hours of
sleep a night in his sixties.

And that's not because
he's getting up to piss.

It was a pleasure to finally
meet you, Wilhelmina.

Of course.

It's about time we
had you in the family.

- That kid in there.
- Kid?

You mean our new CFO.

She's been at the firm
since the dot-com crash.

Is she good, or is
she just another

senior woman ticking the
governance box for ESG?

Hey, uh, I got an email
from our EMEA PR head

about a girl on your desk
dealing with some bad press.

Some ugly noise
about embezzlement,

- and a missing daddy?
- Yasmin.

Yeah, she's been
pinballed around desks.

PWM didn't want her.

Ken Kilbane, ED on our floor,
has been vouching for her.

She's a nepotism hire, no?

Should we do the honorable thing
and put her out of her misery?

Management in New York wouldn't
mind seeing your teeth again.

We're leaning out at
random over there,

cutting across every
level, from AN1 to MD.

I'm sure it's not lost on you

how late this partnership
has come in your career.

I lobbied hard for it.

I said, "Look around the room.

It's a bit
monochromatic, right?"

I'm joking.

The look on your face!

That was an ESG joke, my friend.

You don't think I
can manage people.

We make tough decisions.

Otherwise, we're
no longer partners.

You guys need to know
that constant cuts

are the state of
our industry now.

No better motivator than death.

Oh, uh...

Lumi's closing
above 4.80, right?

Above 4.80.

Fucking tote bag journalists

won't allow us to
do a good thing.

I'm dead on my feet!

All right, so James Ashford

from Ashford Asset
Management is on his way in.

When? Why? Why did
you allow this?

He's one of your investors.

Wasn't he in the friends
and family round?

Yes, and his investment is
friends-and-family-sized.

He's fucking insignificant!

Thought your blood
sugar might be low.

Thank you so much,
that's so kind.

They didn't have a keto option,

so I just got you
what I'm getting.

Don't worry at all.

- It's very kind.
- Hi, yeah, it's Chris from Lumi, how you doing?

We would love to offer you

one of our exclusive
introduction rates...

You thought I was going
to launch my lunch

at the wall, didn't you?

Tell James I'll meet with
him, and patch Pierpoint in.

How long have we
been working on this?

Don't know.

Close to half a year.

You know, ever since
Pierpoint put you on this IPO,

I feel like my luck has turned.

What, for the better?

No.

- Hey.
- Hey, hey.

- Congratulations.
- Thank you, buddy.

I know you've been
through hell lately,

- but you deserve this.
- Thank you.

The good lady wife her indoors,

she said she'll do chicken
à la Eric this week

if you wanna drop
by and celebrate.

Don't be ridiculous.
I'll take you guys

for omakase at the Araki.

Oh, kamikaze at the
Araki. I love it.

At 380 a head, the
kamikaze's my fucking wallet.

Hey, is... is her
head in the game?

Level with me.

From a management perspective,
do we really need her?

Yeah, she's good. She's
capable. Firsthand. Trust me.

With all these rumors of
her dad swirling around,

I'm getting pressure from above.

This is a reputation-defining
24 hours ahead of us.

- I can't carry passengers.
- Hundred percent.

Eric.

I wanted to say congratulations.
It's very well-deserved.

I am glad you think so.

How are you finding
the countryside?

I mean, loads of
chinless inbreds

bickering over inheritance
tax, what's not to like?

Right, no throat clearing.

We've got some last-minute
concerns about your valuation...

based on the very sneakily
timed earnings report

with its surprising
net debt figure.

The debt profile of the company
has seemingly shrunk overnight,

just as you're
about to go public?

So?

In your cash and
cash equivalent,

you've added in receivables

which, uh, you know
won't get settled.

You've calculated
your indebtedness

as a net debt to EBITDA ratio,
and it looks like you just

massaged the EBITDA to
make that ratio decrease.

What are you accusing me of?

This earnings report, your
first as a public company,

will legally have
to be published

on your website
for anyone to see,

and you're putting
lipstick on the pig

at the last minute.

Which got me thinking what else
you're keeping from people.

So I had my analysts
up all night

modeling what would happen if,
say, given your debt profile,

natural gas prices spike.

My conclusion is that you'd
be sailing into a storm

on a shit boat.

Therefore, we disagree
with Pierpoint's price

of 4.30 pence a share.

- It should be closer to four pounds.
- What?

- I don't know.
- We have doubts over the projected closing price

- of 4.80.
- Uh, James, James.

Uh, let's, uh...

Let's drill down to the
crux here, shall we?

You know the
fundamentals are strong.

Sir Henry.

Sorry, I know that doesn't make
you sound very, um, modern.

I'm going to be reasonable.

I'm going to offer you
back half my equity

at 4.30 a share

as per the Pierpoint valuation.

Hi.

Hi, James, it's Yasmin
from Pierpoint on the line.

Um. Look, Lumi is
at the forefront

of the democratization of
the energy sector and...

Yeah, I... I keep hearing that

and I still have no
idea what it means.

Okay, well, from our
perspective on the floor,

the IPO is oversubscribed.
Investors are very eager to buy.

You know, people are
clamoring for this.

We know that street-wide,
it is going to be a buy.

Our traders are expecting

a very strong bid for
it tomorrow, James.

The market won't
support it for long.

You know, I truly hate how
you sell-side guys speak.

It's all just fucking
smoke and mirrors

with you guys, right? Just
jargon, tarting it up.

- And, of course, you're incentivized to overvalue it.
- My hands are full.

Your private equity
division is invested in it.

My offer is 4.30
for half the equity,

and we will see what happens
to the other half tomorrow.

You know, you can have
it all back at 4.30.

And whoever's voice
I keep hearing

evangelizing on that phone,

that belief, that
one, is why I feel

we should let the market
decide how valuable we are.

All of it?

Okay.

You've got a deal.

And, you know, Henry, I, um...

I always wanted to
be wrong about you.

You know what
comes after hubris.

Did I just fuck that?

He... he raised a pretty
big red flag, didn't he?

I'm sure that
Pierpoint's I-bankers

will have done
their due diligence

to make sure this
trades well on day one.

Yeah, but like...
like day two, day 200?

Practically, it's not
really our concern.

Eyeballs are on this day one.

How it trades day 200
is lost in the noise.

Look, I know this feels huge

because he's your client,
but really he's a minnow

on a day of big players.

Surely it's bad to risk more
shares on the open market

if there is any kind of noise

about Lumi diddling with
the numbers so late.

I'll, um, tell
Eric we handled it.

Mm-hmm.

James from Ashford
Asset Management

is pulling back.

He raised some red flags
about debt with him and Lumi,

non-transparency,

but Yasmin handled the
whole thing really well.

So we've more stock to
shift, but we'll shift it.

There's plenty of demand.

- All right.
- Yeah, thanks.

- Ask why I'm a pituitary gland.
- What? No.

Go on, ask me why I'm
a pituitary gland.

Okay, why are you
a pituitary gland?

Because I make a whore moan.

Kenny filled me in on Ashford.

He's not a significant voice,

but anything destabilizing
this close to IPO

can fuel a rumor mill.

It can metastasize.
Keep a lid on it.

Didn't Ashford raise some
pretty legitimate concerns

about the CEO's integrity?

Look, our job is
to sell the story

that makes Lumi
trade well tomorrow.

Is Ashford a canary
in the coal mine?

I'd wager our bankers and
the Lumi CEO know better

than Ashford Asset Management.

But if you want to feel
better, this business

is people making money on a
hill of dead yellow birds.

What do you want from this job?

I want to prove to you
that I belong here.

I need a functional member
of a functioning team.

I need a worker.

- Are you a worker?
- I am. I am a worker.

I had a wrecking
ball in that seat.

I would just as quickly
fire another one.

What is it? Veja? Vanilla?

Not enough money to
live in Notting Hill,

- but frequents the pubs.
- Grim.

She should definitely
marry him...

she's not got liquidity
to freeze her eggs.

- Hi.
- Uh...

I don't wanna kinda
dip my little oar in,

but I have spied

you putting your
disposable coffee cup

- in the general waste.
- Sorry, yeah. I, um...

With the liquid in it, I'm like
never sure if it qualifies.

So, if the receptacle
is sullied,

you just clean it out

and then pop it in
the paper recycling.

It's five seconds
out of your day.

- You might even feel good.
- Right.

No, that's totally rational.

I agree. Apologies.

Okay.

How does Lumi feel
on the sales side?

Between us, I think this
one really needs to hit

for us from a bright
side perspective.

Feels like it's
a tone-setting...

FutureDawn. Anna
Gearing's office.

Hey, Harper, it's Yas.

Hey. Oh, my God.

Rob told me what
happened last night.

I'm so sorry I slept through it.

Um, can I get Anna urgently?

Um, she is in with
Petra at the moment.

What's it about?

I have some more Lumi stock,
if Anna would like to add.

Are you trying to
dump more on her?

You should probably
change your tonality.

Okay.

I didn't ask you for advice
on my job, but thank you.

Hey, I have no
skin in this game.

Just some friendly advice.

Just get her, Harper.

FutureDawn isn't
a vanity project

for your own trading book.

I signed a contract to work
for you under the proviso

that I'd have autonomy. I
want to place my own trades

without an autopsy
on every single one.

I don't do well with
micromanagement.

This is a company-wide strategy.

All of your trades are hedges
that cap FutureDawn's upside.

This is about being clear-eyed.

My book is the only
book outperforming.

I've been keeping us afloat
since the move from Berlin,

- and you know that.
- Sorry.

Sorry, I can come back.

Do you think ethical
investment actually works,

or is it just a palliative

we give ourselves
to feel better?

Why the fuck are
you asking her that?

I just do the diary.

And I... I agree with Anna.

Impact investing is
the foundational ethos

of this company.

See?

I don't think anybody's
thinking for themselves

'round here anymore.

I'm so sorry about her.

I have Pierpoint on the line.

Oh.

Hello.

Hi, Anna. It's Yasmin.

You're my first call.

I have some more Lumi stock

if you would like to add
to your initial position.

The only reason
why you'd call me

to sell me more this
close to the IPO

is 'cause someone is dumping.

Yasmin.

You know how invested we
are in Lumi's listing.

Don't freak me out. Is there
something I should know?

You know... Uh, let me
just, let me call you back.

How much of the fund is in Lumi?

Can you make sure that
my, um, diary is printed

and on my desk when I come in?

You know I need to hold it.

- Digital just... just won't do.
- Yep.

Double-sided, right?
For the environment.

Sorry, it was a joke.

And can you move my car an hour?

Yeah.

Who is this? What do you want?

Yasmin, hi. It's Henry Muck.

Uh, we were on a call earlier,
Rob gave me your number.

Um, I hope you don't think
this is inappropriate,

but can you come meet me
a little later tonight?

Near Green Park.

Oh, my God.

Did you move my car?

Oh, my God. Anna,
I'm so sorry.

It, like, totally
slipped my mind.

It's okay. I knew you'd forget.
Seems to be a trend with you.

I was actually going to suggest

that you get some
sleep before tomorrow.

You do realize displaying
total incompetence

won't expedite a
move to trading?

Um...

- Good night.
- Night.

Hi.

Can I help you?

I was hoping you
might indulge me

and allow me to finish
my earlier thought.

I'm listening.

ESG is a fad.

Ethical investing is a fad.

Everybody and their
snotty brother

claim to be ESG.

Assets that qualify
as it are so bid,

the valuations are making them
stupid investments now anyway.

Not to mention the macro
headwinds, the election,

lack of clear-sided
investment in fossil fuels.

Really, it's like a
utopian opiate for morons

who believe in a "better world."

Like, whatever the
fuck that means.

And Lumi...

do you really believe
that cheap green energy

for the masses exists, or...

is someone spinning a story?

Fourth floor.

Going down.

- Night.
- Night.

Hey.

I was actually just composing
an apology email to you.

I've really not had
my eye on the ball.

I left my keys. Sorry.
I'm, um, I'm rushing.

Yeah.

Actually, I, um...

I wanted to apologize to you
too, for my tone earlier,

my, um, cortisol levels.

I constantly feel like

there's an active
shooter in the building.

I don't know why
I let myself feel

like my life is on
the line. I've...

Turns you into somebody
who you don't wanna be.

I totally get it.

I mean, I don't even want
the people who work for me

to feel like my employees,
if you know what I mean.

Yeah, I mean, we are
your employees, so...

Oh, keys.

I'm really, really appreciative
of you taking a chance on me.

Don't stay up too
late. Big day tomorrow.

Yeah. Oh, uh...

in the spirit of honesty,

uh, I'm wondering if maybe
we could just have, like,

a dialogue about the
firm's investment choices,

just to keep my brain alive.

It's been a really long day.

- Okay. We'll talk first thing.
- Yeah, cool. Thank you.

- Good night.
- Good night.

My friend designs the
necklaces herself.

- Do you actually like it?
- Yeah, I love it.

Do you think you'll,
uh, stay over tonight?

- Do you want me to?
- Who do you think you are?

What gives you the
right to divulge

my personal information
to a stranger?

What are you talking
about, a stranger?

He's our business. He asked.

Since when do you
care about boundaries?

He asked! Sorry, I
didn't realize that.

And... and next time he asks you

- to blow him...
- Oh, what, again?

Sorry, he's... he's
kind of got BDE.

Yeah, you bet he does.

And I've actually got a
very sensitive gag reflex.

Do you think this is funny?

Look, I'm sorry, all right?

I really didn't want to,

but I've basically
never said no to him.

He says that no is just
a step on the way to yes.

But, you know, it's your
work phone. He's work.

No, he called my
personal number.

Yas, I promise I
didn't give him that.

I never would.
What does he want?

He wants me to go
and meet him tonight.

Nothing more bleak than
a financial flatshare.

Another a day at
the coalface, eh?

Privatizing profits and
mutualizing losses, yeah?

Hi, Dave.

Oh, yeah, Harper, let's
Park Chan-wook, babe.

Oh, and a sobering glass of
water for you, Harper Lee.

Is he staying over again?

Are you okay?

The press are animals.

Ignore them.

You move ahead, right?

Night.

I'll be in my room,

continuing to make
poor decisions.

I'm sure Henry's being innocent.

You gonna go?

I don't really have
a choice, do I?

I'm waiting for his car now.

Yeah, there's a Tesla outside.

Great. So now I'm late.

You just passed your
managerial role onto me

because you don't know how
to do your fucking job.

- Yas, I'm sorry.
- No, you know

how exposed I am right now.

An unknown number gives
me a fucking heart attack,

and I'm about to lose my job,

probably, over a
fucking photograph

I didn't even know
was being taken.

Can you just try? Just
try and understand that.

Really?

So, are we oversubscribed?

Shot!

Fuck!

Um, there is

a very exciting
level of appetite.

I really think

that Ashford's bearishness
was local to him.

How's Aurore?

Yeah, is she electable yet?

Get one of the Sundays
to do a profile.

Uh, Yasmin, this is my
uncle, Lord Norton...

Alexander. Pleasure.

My godfather, Otto Mostyn.

And, uh, this is Reynolds.

Oh, fuck!

Where do I know you from?

I work at Pierpoint.

Pierpoint? My God, is
that place still solvent?

Actually, they've done a pretty
first-rate job marketing Lumi.

It's closing up, isn't it?

- Four pound eighty, Botty!
- Oh!

"The morning has
gold in its mouth."

She's Charlie's kid.

I was at Balliol
with your father.

Oh, my God, Charlie Hanani?

He used to double-park his
Jag on Radcliffe Square.

He punched the air
when he took a third.

Dangerously handsome.
Dangerously stupid.

I admired him.

You're on.

Sorry about my papers' coverage.

I empower my editors.
Not my decision.

But a lot of people are
very angry with Mr. Hanani.

I'd gently nudge him
to come out of hiding

and stop letting his daughter
take all the punishment.

Scuttling away from his
own boat in a dinghy

and going on the lam.

- It's a coward's way out.
- All right, come on.

Well, if that's
everything. Thank you.

No, wait a minute. Hang
on, hang on, hang on.

- Hang on. Hang on.
- For fuck's sake.

Thank you for the
hands-on service.

Uh, let's keep this
dialogue going, shall we?

Oh, and, uh... Yeah.

I know what it's like
having a family member

ruin your life,

so I know what
you're going through.

The kids are always collateral.

I really do wonder

- if Charlie's recovering...
- Come on!

From syphilis he got at some
Mediterranean whorehouse.

- Give me a sec. Give me a sec.
- Fuck's sake, Botty!

Can I, um... can I have
a minute? Otto Mostyn.

Yes, I know.

I'm having lunch tomorrow at
my club with Gregory Clark

from British Electric,

and he's got more social
pretensions than Barry Lyndon.

We could all go for a
drink out afterwards.

Gregory, he's still looking
for a Lumi comp to buy

given he missed out on
Prince Hal's little project.

Well, um,

you should really speak to the
investment banking division

about that kind of deal making.

Do you know, your father...

he owes a lot of
people a lot of money.

Including, but not limited
to, his bill at our club.

So, stop by...

as his proxy.

I just have to do something
about this article.

I mean, surely I can sue.

It's not going to
stay news for long.

And everyone loses
on a libel case,

except the lawyers, of course.

The thing is

the photo was taken
completely out of context.

It looks like I was partying
with, like, stolen money.

So... So, wait.

So, what are the financial
implications for you?

I mean, your family
weren't involved

in Hanani Publishing
anymore, were they?

No, but it's historic
embezzlement.

He was skimming off the
pension pot for years.

Some of the employees are
actually suing me directly.

Yeah, but surely they
haven't got a case

against you while
he's still missing.

Yeah.

Apparently not, but, um,

it's still costing me a
fuck ton in lawyers' fees

to fight them off.

If only the press
knew I was broke.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Um...

my boss is sat over there

with someone that
is not his wife.

Don't look. Oh, fucking hell.

Oh, oh. He's coming over.

- Hey.
- Eric.

I'm, um, I'm not on the piss.

I... This is a meeting.
She's a lawyer.

And she used to fuck my brother.

Okay, uh, well, I am on a date,
and I am separated from my wife.

Just wanted to
get ahead of that.

Um...

So, um, how's it going?

She keeps talking
about her kids.

One's transitioning.
Not my area.

I mean, I fucking hate
kids. So, join us?

One never hurt.

Let me just extricate
myself from this situation

with as much grace
as I can summon up.

- Great.
- Of course.

Why the fuck would you do
that? Now I can't leave.

I just love an old dog
with new appetites.

Aw.

Did your little
girlfriend give you that?

Don't.

You look like a fucking
club rep from Zante.

Fuck off.

Let's have a look.

Why do you stay...

after you fuck me?

Here's me thinking that
we were making love.

I don't know why I'm still here.

You desire me.

We get each other off.

You're you with me.

I don't need this...

toff CEO to say
"well done" to me.

Yeah, you do.

That's all you've ever wanted.

Validation of your betters.

And, uh, functioning
codependence

with someone as
fucked up as you are.

Hey, listen, I'm
not knocking it.

It's a good a north star as any.

We're all just chimps
in a hierarchy.

What's the deal with
you and Wolfe Tone?

- Kenny?
- Oh, um...

God, how do you know about that?

I mean, it... it was
brutal at the time,

but I think we've sort of
readdressed the balance.

He pushed me hard on
rehiring you. He took me in.

After my wife...
kicked me out,

I sort of lost three
days to Jim Beam.

I went to Kenny.

He and his wife were very kind.

It's like, um, Robbie Williams
turning up at Elton John's.

Like, the patron
saint of pissheads.

I shouldn't have shown
him that side of me.

Let me level with you.

I am terrified of you

because I... I want
to be seen by you.

But, right now, like,
I feel seen by you,

and I'm not scared of you.

I do feel like we've just

skipped several awkward
stages of a relationship.

Right, and then let's try
and remember that feeling

when we're sober, you know?

Because I do want
to impress you.

Eric, you're kind of
a fucking rock star

on our desk.

Keep talking.

I shouldn't need the validation.
I just bailed on therapy.

Oh, I've never done it.

I'd be so scared about
what would actually

- come out of my mouth.
- Yeah.

A lot of money to just
talk about your parents.

- Right.
- Where's your father?

I really wish people would
just stop asking me that.

How do you feel about it now?

I hate the way it makes me look.

What did you and Harper
have that was so special?

There was nothing special.

You don't have to be
anything like her, you know.

I'm baffled she's gotten
another job in the business.

Yeah, well, I kind of twisted
Anna's arm on that one.

I, you know, I took Anna
out to a bunch of dinners,

and I had to pay for them.

Are you going to fire me?

You know, we can keep
dancing around it,

but, you know, it's on my mind,

- and we're here now.
- Yeah.

- Given our current situation.
- It hadn't crossed my mind.

Uh... Well, that's
not entirely accurate.

- I do have to let someone go.
- Who?

Someone worth letting
go, associate or above.

I don't want to, but
if I don't do it,

they'll think I'm weak.

Right, but Robert and me
are the only associates

on the desk.

And he's made himself completely
indispensable managing Muck.

He's indispensable
till the IPO launches,

- then he's more dispensable.
- Oh.

Why did you put in a
good word for Harper?

Mm.

I think that, deep down,
Harper is a good person.

I don't think she is.

I cannot believe

we're doing this the
morning of the IPO.

Yas, Yas, take a picture of me.

Why are you calling?

I don't know.

Well...

Well, you... you called me.
What... What's the matter?

Why aren't you at the exchange?

Do you think I'm cursed?

It's just...

It's just that everyone...
everyone... everyone dies.

Yeah.

Yeah, everyone does die.

Are you fucked?

What have you taken?

Maybe you should
stop drinking. Again.

But I'm... I'm sure you're okay.

Um, I actually... I wanted to say
I'm sorry for... for last night.

I overreacted. Okay?

See you at home, yeah?

Lumi close to opening here.

- Offer price is 4.80.
- Bye. Bye-bye.

Where have you been?

Phones are ringing off the hook.

Apparently, Adler's coming
onto the floor to oversee Lumi.

Where's Eric?

His wife just dumped
the kids with me.

Apparently, it's his day and
he hasn't seen them for weeks.

I don't know.
Why would I know?

I wanna feel the flow
coursing through my body.

- You forgot about us.
- No, no, I didn't.

You sure you wanna let his
kids see those heels, Sweetpea?

They'll be destined
for a life on the pole.

Rishi, do not shame me
for dressing in a way

that gives me confidence

and then look at
me like I'm lunch.

It's completely inappropriate.

I love it.

Opening price is 4.30. We're
expecting a 4.80 close.

- So, where the hell were you?
- Please, don't.

- I can't do this now.
- Hey. Hey!

Shit. Are you all right?

Robert, what are you doing
here? Who's with Henry?

- Hey, man, are you good?
- Rob.

I need to talk to you.

Hey, soft lad.

Whoa, you got the dead eyes
of a porn star. What happened?

Fuck off, Rishi.

Please.

That's... I
can't... I can't...

Rob.

Off the desk.

Rob...

I am sorry.

I'm really embarrassed.
That was so unprofessional.

Don't apologize. Sometimes
things just bubble up.

What happened?

I lost a client.

Huh? That's all?

Where are you meant
to be right now?

At the stock exchange with Lumi.

Look at me for a second.

Are you going to stop
being such a pussy?

Look at me.

Say it with me.

"I'm a man and I'm relentless."

- I'm a man and I'm relentless.
- Good.

Now, say it properly.

Stay with me.

I am a man... and
I'm relentless.

I'm a man...

- and I'm relentless.
- I'm... I'm a man.

- And I'm relent...
- I'm a man!

- I'm a man.
- And I'm relentless!

- I'm a man.
- I'm a man!

- I am a man!
- And I'm relentless!

I'm a man! And I'm relentless!

Now, go to work.

Now, we do our jobs.

Wait, what did you
want to talk about?

Give me that.

Hey man, are you good?
I can smell it on you.

Maybe you should come to
another meeting with me, huh?

I need a word.

This morning's set pretty fair.

Phones are ringing off the
hook like the old days.

Hey, man.

Do you want to talk about
what prompted the relapse?

I'm not like you, Ken.

I... I don't need
judgment from you.

This is empathy.

It's worse.

I have to let you go.

What are you talking about?

You'll have a very healthy
redundancy package.

- I've been performing.
- Part of my new role

is making tough decisions.

On the morning of the IPO?

I'm mortgaged up to
the fucking hilt,

I just got married.

You drained the open
bar. Jesus Christ.

What is this, some sort
of signal to the others?

I'll give you whatever
recommendation you need.

Hi.

Please rethink this.

Eric, you were a state.
I... I looked after you.

You made a practical decision.

You looked after me
because I pay you.

I'm so sorry, Kenny.
It's your wife, um,

I... I picked it up.
She's called three times.

- She says it's urgent.
- You can take it.

Hello?

♪ Come on, come on.

I'm a man and I'm relentless.

I'm a man and I'm relentless.

I'm a man and I'm relentless.

Eric, you listen to me, okay?

This is wrongful dismissal.

I will take you to
a fucking tribunal.

I decide who lives
and dies here.

Can you hear yourself?

Yes, I can.

For the first time in
a long time, I can.

Now, leave quietly.

Or shall we bring
up your history?

The litany of sins against
a specific colleague.

I've been generous.

I've acted with compassion.

Now, pack your
fucking box and leave.

You're dripping.

Wipe yourself off,
you're dripping.

I pity you.

I know that shame.

- What's this?
- Oh.

Uh...

play with this instead.

- Thank you?
- Thanks.

How could you do this to me?

What?

Lumi closes above
4.80. No prisoners!

Kenny!

Guys, Sweetpea's
gonna watch you.

My wife's trying to punish me.

- With your own kids?
- Yes, Sweetpea.

Find them a last-minute sitter.

Today is the only
day that matters!

Above 4.80, kids!

Enjoy. This is
gonna be exciting.

This is surreal.

Rob.

Your friend Yasmin.

Is there more to her
than just a photo?

You know they're a customer.

The exchange. We
supply their energy.

I'm a bit scared.

After all this, the ringing
of the bell, the IPO...

it's all gonna feel
rather pathetic.

An anticlimax.

Absolutely not.

No way.

I mean, look at all this.

You've done this.

You're gonna feel very...

alive.

Hey man.

Good job.

They're ready to ring in three,

two...

- What the fuck?
- What the fuck?

- No, no, no, no!
- What the fuck is going on?

Which prick forgot
to pay the bill?
